Mon lox TECEDEN T ACTIO Our We-st High School Story for 1949-1950 closely parallels the developments which are gradually evolving from studies conducted during the school years 1947-1948 and 1948-1949. The first of these. sponsored hy the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and prepared under the supervision of Principal James E. Blue, shows West High in the context of the whole community with its problems and its opportunities. The L'Basic Studiesf, conducted by several teachers under the direction and supervision of the Illinois Secondary School Curriculum Program, includes four reports: uflolding Power, B'Hidden Tuition Costs. Participation in Extra-Class Activities, and 4'Guidance. Miss Lois Dilley sunnnarized these four reports. Prepared hy Miss Camilla Johnson and Miss Carolyn W7 ones from information collected hy co-workers. the Follow Up Study reveals opinions given on questionnaires answered by teachers. pupils. parents, and graduates 011 the amount and effectiveness of help which the school offered on real-life problems of youth. That opportunities for class-room and extra-class activities at West are planned to stimu- late the maximum development in pupils is attested to by those whose pictures appear here as protagonists of the many activities availahle. lt in Stover.

Blue, M. A., Principal of West Senior High School URlNG,the past two years, West High School has cooperated in the Illinois Secondary School Curriculum Study to find answers to two basic questions: Who Is Being Served? and What Should Be Taught and What Services Should Be Provided? In our country, we have accepted the responsibility for taxing ourselves for the support of free public secondary schools for the purposes of maintaining, strengthening, and improving our way of life. In order to attain these ideals, we recognize the necessity for educating all high school youth who may profit from the secondary educational program. In order to determine who is and who is not being served. we used three Illinois State Curriculum studies: the Holding Power Study, The Hidden Cost Study, and the Participation in Extra-Class Activities Study. The Holding Power Study gave us reliable information on how many and who dropped out of West High School. Although our percentage of drop-outs was about the same as twenty-two other Illinois High Schools and much below the national average, yet it revealed that these drop-outs came from families with low incomes and limited educational backgrounds. The Hidden Costs Study included costs in connection with attending high school and participating in school activities ffood. clothing. shelter. and transportation excludedl. Although the 14 costs in West High School were below the state average, yet they were high enough to eliminate some pupils front low income homes. The Participation in Extra Class Activities Study followed the state trend in that pupils front high income homes participated in school activities in much higher proportion than pupils from low income homes. What should be taught? and What services should be pro- vided? were revealed through Guidance and Follow-Up studies. The Guidance Study showed that the 1948 West High School graduates placed problems of personality development first and second, boy and girl relationships third, and vocational ad- justment fourth in the order of importance. The Follow-Up Study, directed to parents, teachers, pupils, and graduates., revealed a need for increased emphasis on problems of vocational adjustment, development of effective personalityg healthful and safe livingg participation in civic affairsg and edu- cating for marriage, home making, and parenthood. These careful studies of problems in West High School are increasing the percentage of high school youth continuing through to graduation and improving both the instruction and services offered for all West High school youth. -JAMES E. BLUE. Principal 0 R CHRO ICLE HE constant aim of the administrators and faculty of YVest High and members of the Rock- ford Board of Education is to improve the educational opportunities for all studentsg and during the past year, many improvements were made in NVQ-st's curriculum. Advanccmcnts were undertaken in group and individual guidance by the counselors, in English instruction through the sophomore communications courses, and in health education. New instruction procedures were re- vealed through the experimental government class, and the number of training periods in the indus- trial department was increased. The larger enrollment in the elementary grades, which is expected to reach the peak in the high schools about 1960, caused a serious financial prob- lem for the Board of Education. Aided by a citi- zens' committee, the Board of Education collected and presented facts to the public, who responded to these needs by voting an increase in taxes to be used for educational purposes.

Many and varied were the activities in which our upper classmen participated. Outstanding among these was the election of ofiicers in that, for the first time in the school's history, a girl was chosen class president. Another Nfirsti' was scored when the committee members decided to use an en- graving of the building entrance on Commencement announcements. An event that will long be remembered was the class play, Dear Ruth, in which fine acting was displayed. Rounding out the year's social events is the Senior Prom. As the most gala affair of the school year, the Prom is eagerly anticipated by all of us. Envious underclassmen look on as the seniors parade up and down the halls in their caps and gowns on Senior Day. Good food and old friends chatting gaily make for a pleasant after- noon at the Senior Luncheon. As a prelude to Commencement, seniors observe the Baccalaureate service, followed by a tea for friends, parents, and teachers. Commencement, the finale of our high school careers, is the most memorable occasion of all. Upon this day each senior achieves his high school goal as he receives his diploma. Writing part of the financial report from the class play on the board is Ruth Karriker, treasurer. Beth Hanna, president, is assisting by reading figures to her. Awaiting the outcome with interest are Miss Dorothy Knill, senior adviserg Joanne Nelson, secre- taryg and Richard McLaughlin, vice president. 25 ,, -s Ax 'ev i Egg, X34 ' L ., A . . is-E M 10m A .Q S, 3 'fig' .31-rife' 'T W - rf ' :1 3- ---- -.'

Foremost among our activities was the Junior Prom, Starlight Serenade. VV itll the gymnasium decorated predominantly in blue and sil- ver, twinkling stars were scattered in pro- fusion over a sky in three shades of blue. A six foot star of silver was hung in the center of the ceiling to complete the ro- mantic picture. Smooth music and pleas- ant surroundings furnished an ideal background for this evening long to be enjoyed in retrospect. Episodes con- tributing to the rising action were the class election and the junior tests. These tests are sponsored by the University of Illinois i0 determine aptitudes, not achievements, of stu- dents. Test results are used as bases of candidate selections by college authorities and employers. They also help teachers guide students along lines best suited to abilities. To highlight spring activities, junior thespians go 'Son the boards in the class play. Near the end of the year, we middle elassmen are the busiestg for it is our duty to deco- rate the stages for Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. Ushering at Commence- ment and Baccalaureaute and serving at the Senior Lunehegn are other pleasant Obliga. tions. On Commencement day the junior class president receives the Senior Banner from the senior class president, a ceremony which provides both a fitting climax to the jlllli0l' year and 8 f0l'6SllHfl0Wihg of the leadership expected from the class of 1951 next year.

The chronicle of 1952 really hcgins in room 230 where our guidance classes meet to discuss problems of school life and all the activity committees for sophomore pro- grams or campaigns work out class proj- ects. Included in the guidance class periods is the vocational interest test. To help each student find the life and work for which he is best suited is the aim of this test. Puppet shows, big posters, small posters, tags, and all kinds of publicity devices were used in the election of class officers. En- thusiasm over the election held the attention of the sophomores and the rest of the school for several days. Collection of dues by thc homerooms was the first responsi- bility taken over by our new officers. In step with the Yule season, we sent hand made Christmas cards to all faculty members and decorated a Christmas tree to brighten up study hall 201 during the last few anxious days before vacation. Ingenuity, planning, and plenty of hard work went into the biggest project of the year, the Sophomore Party in the spring. Service activities of our group include serving on the clean-up committee for the Sports parties, waiting tables at the Publications Banquet, and usher- ing at the National Honor Society assembly.

Apply Democratic ideals, plan parties in STUDENT COUNCIL Meeting in the Little Theater during the homeroom period is our Student Council, an enthusiastic group con- sisting of representatives elected from each of our home- rooms. Under the supervision of our adviser, Mr. James E. Rose, we discuss and suggest solutions to problems arising among the student body. For example, the method of distributing tickets for important games is decided by our members. We also plan and manage the Sports parties. the can- teens, and the pep rallies. All these events contribute greatly to the promotion of school spirit. This year 'iToys for Tots was one of several benefit drives we sponsored. For the third successive year we sponsored Talent Night, one of the outstanding entertainment fea- tures of the second semester. 74 Peterson, J. Culhane, N. Ross. Second Row: K. Nelson, C.

SPORTS PARTY COMMITTEE s S S Attracting nine-hundred to a thou- sand students seven Saturday nights during the school year, the Sports parties are popular with the younger sct. Under the direction of the Yvcst High Educational Association. these occasions provide recreation for the high school set from Wfest, East, St. Thomas, Muldoon, and Harlem high schools. For 35 cents students may swim in our pool, play basketball in both the girls' and boys' gymnasiums, enjoy ping pong in the auxiliary gyms, and dance to the music of popular orchestras in the cafeteria. Both the students and their parents work together to make these parties successful. Before each party, dele- W gates from the Student Council meet with the chairmen of the Sports parties to make plans for the coming night of recreation. At these meet- ings the orchestra is selectedg ticket sellers are appointedg and parent hosts, hostesses, and snack bar at- tendants are secured. It is the job of the committee to find fellow class- mates for publicity, ticket selling. and clean-up committee service. SPORTS PARTY COMMITTEE. Standing: Bob Hill, Georgina Mnndellal.

Our organiza- tion is composed of elected representatives from many other clubs in the school and volunteer workers. Wie are affiliated with the National Red Cross Chapter and send representatives to meetings of the local chapter. During the year we sponsor, among other charity drives, our own membership campaign. Some of the proceeds of this drive are added to the National Red Cross fund to finance emergency aid to persons in the United States. Perhaps one of our most important projects is the packing and sending of gift boxes to people of war- devastated countries overseas. These boxes contain educational equipment mainly, and we purchase these articles with money from our membership drive. We also colnpile scrapbooks to send abroad. Wfe often combine pleasure with our work as we did this Christmas when we went caroling at various old people's homes in Rockford. ln the spring is the annual assembly under the direction informally discussing National Honor Society plans are the officers. Bill Bartlett, Ronnie Pennoek. and Nancy O'Connor. Character, scholarship, leadership, and service requisites for NHS One of the most coveted is the golden pin of the National Honor Society, a torch imbedded upon a base with the organ- izatioifs name and the letters i'C.S.L.S., standing for character, scholarship, leadership, and service, inscribed. Membership in the group is an honor received by only fifteen per cent of the 12 A's and five per cent of the ll Ais each year because of established rules limiting the number although more students n1ay meet the requirements. In addition to being in the upper third of his class, a member must have maintained high standards of character, leadership, and service. Teachers cite students in their classes and club activities and on athletic teams who show them- selves worthy and capable in fields other than scholarship: eleventh and twelfth graders vote on submitted lists of stu- dents scholastically in the upper third of their respective classes who, they think, deserve membership in the organiza- tion. Faculty members also vote on this list. After all the data on citations, scholarship, and students' and teachers, votes are colnpiled, an electing council made up of faculty members makes the-final selections. of thc society's adviser. Miss Camilla Johnson. An orchestra ensemble plays the processional, and all the old and new members march down the auditorium aisles to take their places on the stage. The A Cappella Choir sings a few selec- tions, and a speaker vitally interested in scholarship addresses the group. Last spring the talk was given by Dr. Mary Ashby Cheek, president of Rockford College. Then the initiates take the oath of membership, led by the chapter presi- dent. Officers for the 1949 group were Charles Blanek, presidentg Dave Pennock, vice president, and Marcia Critten- den. secretary. ln the oath they pledge themselves to uphold the honor and principles of the society. Ideals of the society are signified by the flaming torch which is the emblem ofthe club's purposes, nto bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring ways of life, and to serve.

Each year the military personnel looks forward to the presentation of the ROTC awards by the Rock- ford Newspapers. One of the last conclaves of the year is the honors assembly in which deserving students receive recognition in various fields. The ABL award is given to a senior girl who has done incritori- ous work in ABL and who is active in other school functions. Last year there were co-winners. To the senior boy judged out- standing in science and mathematics, the Rensselaer medal is presented. To be active in athletics, to excell in scholarship, and to serve the school are the qualifications needed to win the American Legion award. First presented in 1948, the S400 West High Educational Association Scholarship is designed to further the education of a worthy senior. 1949 HONORS Top Left: American Legion-Mr. Ralph Cotta.

PAN AMERICAN early birds fly to outdoor spring breakfast Improving our relations with the Pan-American countries and learning more about the language and customs of Spanish speaking people form the purposes of the Pan-American club. Our club, which was founded in 1936, has an emblem composed of the shield of Spain against the outline of Spain. The shield stands for protection, and the outline signifies power. Meeting on alternate Mondays of each month with Miss Lena Scandroli, our club adviser, we especially enjoy the meetings at which we tell stories and sing songs in Spanish. For this reason one can very easily see why we require all members to be enrolled in a Spanish course at some time during their three years at iVcst High. A big projct for the year was the running of a nP3Il3d0l'l3,,, or bakery shop at the successful County Fair. Here we sold cakes, cookies, and coffee made by members. Rising early to prepare a meal out of doors, we repeat our popular May break- fast at Sinnissippi Park every year. Other activities of the club include the annual Christmas Pinata party and the vocabulary building games which we play in Spanish. I Original play prepared for Latin Week depicts Roman life or history in JCL To prolnote and foster an interest in the classics is our main purpose in this organization which any Latin student may join. The Junior Classical League is a national organization under the sponsorship 'of the American Classical League with chapters and clubs in high schools and colleges all over the United States. Meeting in room 221 under the supervision of Miss Anna Driebusch every sccond and fourth Thursday of the month, our club has a varied schedule of programs. Sometimes we invite an interesting speaker to talk to us on a classical subject, or we might have one of the members prepare a paper and present it to the group. Every year during Latin Yveek the dramatically minded members give an original play depicting some phase of Roman life or history, and we invite anyone interested to come and see the performance. In the spring we travel to a park and have a picnic with plenty of food according to Roman style. Our group is not only a cultural oneg on the contrary, we also have numerous minor projects to raise funds to send food and supplies to unfortunate school children in Apeirion, Greece. A fortune telling booth at the County Fair, a candy sale, an old records sale, and a clothing drive were some of our projects this year. Top Row: F. Fiorenza, S. Countryman, C. Patrick. J. Williams.

Meetings featuring French guests further purposes of ENTRE NOUS Any French student will understand the significance of our club title, Entre Nous l just among ourselvesj. We are an cuter- prising group seriously interested in developing a knowledge of France, its language and its customs. Our favorite method is through meeting native French people whom we invite to our meetings. Other means hy which we familiarize ourselves with the country are through French movies and records, which give us an understanding of French life and, at the same time, add much enjoyment to our meetings. '1 hrough our studies of France, we have become greatly interested in the welfare of its people. Our main project in 1949-50 has been the sending of money to the American fund for French relief. Money is raised hy our members in various ways. This year we managed the French cafe and the coat checking concession at the County Fair. Under the direction of Mrs. Yvonne Keiselburg, our meetings are far from dull. Aside from our programs pertaining to France, we find time for entertaining skits, a skating party, and our annual spring picnic. One year of French language study will qualify a student for membership in Entre Nous. Our mem- bers can be readily recognized by our club emhlem, a fieur-de-lis fashioned in gold. CONSERVATION members study secrets of nature W'hat kind of flower is this? The crowd in jeans and plaid shirts are members of the Con- servation Club on a field trip at Page Memorial Park. This is only one of the questions that we solve by actually going out to see and explore nature instead of just reading about it. Since the purpose of our organization is to study the problems of science and preservation, our only requirement for membership is a genuine inter- est in conservation. Some of the ways that we promote this study are seeing movies, going on field trips, visiting farms and forest preserves, and listening to Audubon lectures. Once a month we have a pot-luck supper at the Natural History Museum where our guests show us films of birds, animals, and plant life. W'hile our activities take place outside of school on Saturdays and Sun- days, wc hold our business meetings on Mondays in room 309. On third floor we have a show case display- ing posters and objects pertaining to conserva- tion. The Armistice Day display, which was one of our most attractive, consisted of a miniature field of white crosses with the American flag standing to the side and soldiers and sailors saluting. Miss Marie Sauber, adviser, organized our club in 1945 for all students interested in learn- ing more about the secrets of science and nature. Since wc are affiliated with the Illinois State Junior Academy of Science, we use their pin, which is white trinnncd in gold and in the shape of our state, Illinois. i'Helping to transplant a tree in front of West High are Don Harris, Jack Rinedollnr. Roger Lillie, Kay Markell, and Tom Vause. i'Rearranging one of the show cases in the third floor hall are Dave Andrews, Waneltn Brauer, Katherine Beck, John Moffatt, and Mary Jane Deltuva.

FORUM biweekly meetings provide opportunities to think on our feet Since classroom discussions arc all too brief for some of our students, the Forum Club was established for those of us who especially enjoy expressing our ideas before a group. The pur- poses of this club are to give its members extra opportunities to study current problems and to develop their abilities to think on their feet. Meeting in the choral room after school every other Tuesday, our members carry on thought provoking sym- posiums and forums on topics which vary from School Spirit to World Government. t Our co-sponsors, Miss Irene Phillips and Miss Lois Dilley, guide our arguments, giving helpful suggestions which aid our members in explaining their ideas effectively. Under the super- vision of Miss Dilley, a number of our members dramatized inci- dents that emphasized the good and bad points of previous meetings. These exaggerated examples of poor discussion tech- niques have helped many of -us to improve our group presen- tations. In the second semester we sponsor a Junior Town Meeting of the Airf, Each spring our Forum Club picnic lures new mem- bers to our ranks, for the fun we have at these picnics makes us the envy of all our fellow Warriors. 8-5-3's climax gala holiday season with 'cTwelfth Night Revelr 9 Taking a special interest in civic and international problems, our members have engaged in many projects and activities with the help of our sponsor, Miss Edith W hiting. This fall we were fortunate to have Mrs. Russell Meads lead us in a stimulating discussion on the school referendum. Programs such as these give our members opportunities to form more liberal opinions on both local and international affairs. Last year our principal project was the sending of food and clothing to our less fortunate friends in Europe. Although we spent many tedious hours packing these parcels, we were soon rewarded by numerous letters of thanks from grateful recipients. We sponsored the Country Store at the 'iCount.y Fair last fall. During the winter months our popular open dance, Twelfth Night Revelryf' was most successful. The presentation of The Littlest Angel at our impressive Christmas meeting was among the favorite programs of the year. Our social activities were concluded with our annual spring picnic.

The Social Arts Club is in session. In the friendly atmosphere of our meeting place, the home economics apartment, many of us have developed lasting friendships. Since active participation in club activ- ities is required, our members feel they have acquired not only a keen sense of responsibility but also a further ability to cooperate with others. Pins and bracelets are worn by those of us who earn points by sewing on committees. i This year our adviser, Miss Angelyn Saporiti, has supervised many interesting activities and projects. Among the most popular events was the hot dog concession at the County Fair? Acting as models dur- ing our Spring Style Show, we displayed various new spring and summer fashions, many of which were made and designed by our own members. Of course, our fall pot luck and cookie sales must be recog- nized, for they, too, were extensively enjoyed by all of us. We have adopted the octagonal emblem of the national organization of the Future Homemakers of America, with which we are affiliated, for our club emblem. The name of the organizationg its mottog and a house supported by hands, symbolizing that the homes of America are in the hands of its youth, are inscribed on the pin. EU CLIDEAN CIRCLE mathematicians solve problem of combining work and fun Fellowship -1- enthusiasm : good times. That.'s the solution in the Euclidean Circle, the organization for those interested in mathematics. JVe students view the unusual aspects of mathematics and try to solve difficult problems in this field which we, ourselves, find or originate. Under the able leadership of our adviser, Miss Katherine Slade, we participate in a variety of activities. In connection with the County Fair, wc had a great deal of fun planning our concessions. We managed a penny toss into a dish and a dart throw. For our part in school social functions, we sponsor a dance or party some time during the year. One of the most enjoyable events is our annual picnic, held in the spring. The first day of the second and fourth week in the month brings us to room 304 where we carry on our meetings. Are you interested in mathematics? Are you enrolled in geometry or a higher mathematics course? lf you can answer Nycsu to both of these questions, you are eligible to join our Euclidean Circle. This club plays an important part in our extra-curricular activities, for it is the only organization in which students can go beyond the sphere of mathe- matics taught in the classroom. As a fitting emblem, we have a minia- ture slide rule, typical tool used in our work. Top Row: J. Dermer, P. Stringer, G. Geddes, D. Cromwell, R. Snowden, F. Yvhitfield, A. Castrogiovanni.

LIBRARY assistants help patrons find books, other reference materials If you will look on the top shelf on the right hand side! Please return the book to the desk! Oh, yes! And you owe two cents on this overdue book! These and other similar phrases can be heard when you are in the library. When you are looking for that certain volume, all that you have to do is ask one of us for assistance. Our purpose is to help students and faculty mem- bers find books and other reference materials. We are in the library during school hours and before and after school to offer needed assistance. Working an hour each day under the supervision of Miss Davis and her assistant, Mrs. Dodge, we count and file circula- tion, shelve books., record overdues and fines. collect library admits, keep shelves in order, maintain bulletin boards, and check holdings with recommended lists. Tile foremost requirements for our group are honesty and dependability. Service is not the only subject on which we con- centrate. We also enjoy social gatherings, including parties and picnics several times each year. This year our Halloween and Christmas parties and the annual spring picnic were main events on our social calendar. FUTURE TEACHERS pay visits to classrooms of Rockford Schools The great demand for intelligent and highly qualified teachers brought about the establishment of our Future Teachers of America Club in 194-4. Today, in 1950, the necessity for more skilled educators has enormously increased. Realizing the im- portance of education in the world, FTA members are striving, more than ever before, to arouse the interest of sincere young people in the teaching profession. This year our sponsor, Mrs. Theodora Coxon, has super- vised interesting visits to Rockford schools where we observed classroom methods. Through projects such as these visits, we have gained further knowledge of the conditions, required qualifications, training, and opportunities within the profession. One of the main projects initiated this year is a survey of the former members of our W'est High School club to determine the number of former members who either have already entered the teaching profession or are training in colleges to become teachers. Our appropriate emblem, a silver shield with a scroll and lighted torch embedded upon it, signifies the power of intelli- gence coupled with wisdom. Top Row: C. Anderson. C. Johnson, B. Crouse, S.

Our meetings are held at the YNVCA every other Yvednesday night at seven o'el0ck. Among the many goals of our club, one of the most important is the promotion of a friendlier feeling among all races, religions, and nation- alities. We have Y-Teen pen-pals all over the world to whom we write letters and send gifts and candy. Our organization itself is divided into three separate clubs, one for each of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. Both East and Wrcst high girls are combined in one club in each of the three groups, and thus' the three sets of officers are representative of both schools. The officers form an inter-club council which, in turn, elects its own ofiicersg this council helps plan activities which concern all three groups. Each club has two advisersg and Miss Valorie Dierks, who is the YWCA teen- age program director, aids in planning the schedules. At our meetings we have discussions on good grooming, opportunities in vocations, and boy-girl relationships and programs on such subjects as music and dramatics. In the summer we send representatives to an all-state Y-Teen conference. Our emblem is a globe superimposed on a triangle. The globe symbolizes a world-wide fellowship of girls, and the three sides of the triangle represent the spiritual, social, and physical aspects of a well-balanced life. HI-Y pencil sale reveals expert salesmen while creating closer friendship, fellowship Hurry! Hurry! Get your pencils now before they are all sold. Only five cents for one of these bright red pencils that have the 1949-50 bas- ketball schedule printed on them. Our sale was a huge success, for we have some of the most capable school salesmen in our club. Even Mr. Robert Dennis, our adviser, entered the competition to sec who was the most. influential salesman. This is just one of the numerous activities which create a closer friendship and fellowship among us, and in Hi-Y that is the goal we are striving to reach. Every year we hold a party at the YMCA Lodge sometime during the winter months. Many exelamations are heard as the boys and girls prove their abilities on ice skates. After much discussion we decided to present a modified version of the 'gChan1ber of Horrors as our contribution to the County Fairf' For our meetings we plan programs with movies and speakers to enlarge our knowledge of the principles of Christian living. We also participate actively on our own programs. Hi-Y is based on the ideals of clean speech, clean scholarship, clean living, and clean athletics. ive try to follow these ideals in all our social, educational, and service projects. .After looking in on one of our meetings in the Little Theater and viewing the fellowship and enthusi- asm with which we carry out our various plans, you will want to join t'lis inspired group.

UN REIGNS AT BL I ITI TIONS Potluck dinner honoring n.ew members staged in cafeteria after hilarity Highlights of the year for ABL are the informal initiations held at the opening of 'each semester. At these the old members indulge in light-hearted and good- natured pranks at the expense of the initiates. This hil- arity is followed by a festive potluck dinner in the cafeteria honoring the new members. To become an ABL girl one must maintain a B average in English and be recommended by her English teacher. To further an appreciation of good literature and public speaking and to create a better fellowship among our high school girls are two main purposes of this organization. Our members serve on various com- mittees throughout the year, such as the Clllldl'CIl,S Home reading committee, the clramatics committee, the literary committee, and the book review committee. This year our intelligent and fun-loving group has tuken a leading part in school activities. At the Countv Fair our talented members were responsible for a side- show, NT in Pan Alley, which included numbers by a 92 hillbilly scxtet, an entertaining presentation of the Var- sity Drag, an amusing skit entitled Crime Don't Pay, and a clever act by our barber shop quartet. These skits proved to be among the most popular events of the eve- ning and played to capacity crowds at every perform- ance. The second semester is always highlighted with the annual girl-ask-boy dance in the cafeteria. Lanterns and fans were used to decorate for this year's May 12 gala affair, Oriental Fantasy. Crowded into the last few meetings was a trip to Rockford College to View rare hooks, a literary contest for club members, and a picnic. W ith the help of our adviser, Miss Elsie Beatty, the 1949-50 year has been a great success. Since ABL is planning to donate a gift to the school, a committee was appointed during the second semester to study the problem thoroughly and to make an appro- priate selection. 1 t Back Row: R.

The Modern Madrigals, under the leadership of Mr. Floyd Ohlson, is a group which enjoys singing to- gether and serves to enlarge individual musical possi- bilities and also entertain others. To represent Xvest High well in all our engagements is one of thc purposes of our group. As a select ensemble, we appear before both civic and school audiences at dinners, connncnce- ment exercises, hand concerts, and religious meetings. Learning to cooperate and to act as a group, participat- ing in our lllillly projects, and having a good time at social events are but a few of our many' rewards. C Our appreciation for good music can he seen by the many musical organizations in our school. Of these the A Cappella choir, largest of all thc vocal groups. is one of the most active: for in addition to the numerous concerts which we present, our social program is very complete. The main purposes of the choir are to further an appreciation for all music and to learn how to sing successfully in a group. Directed by Mr. Floyd Ohlson, we take part in the opcretta, the Christmas pro- gram, the May Festival, and our own concert. as well as various civic programs. Top Row: J. Anderson, Joseph Ippolito.

GLEE CLUB members rise and shine Active musical groups, indeed, are the Wfest High Glee clubs. In previous years those who were not in other select musical groups were members of the Girls' Glee Club, Boys' Clee Club, Melody Club, and Chorus. Members were selected for these groups according to ability. Starting with the school year September, 1949, the choral program was reorganized to include all per- sons who were interested in singing, regardless of ability. The only requisite was sincere interest in group singing. Any student may join one of the newly organized Glee clubs which include a Senior Girls, Glee, Junior Girls' Glee, Sophomore Girls' Glee, and a general Boys' Glee. After one year's experience in one of these groups, each individual has an opportunity to try out for an appoint- ment in the A Cappella Choir. Because of the new system, the size of the Glec clubs has been doubled from last year, making the members of the choral department a far more active cross section of the school. Since members receive one-fourth of a credit for each semester's work, class participation is profitable as well as enjoyable. Clees were originally groups that sang musical com- positions of two or more contrasted parts in harmony but with only one person to a part. Today, they have Top Row: J. Grubb, G. Dal Pra, J.

The Boys' Glee Club was first organized in 1921 at Central High when there was expressed a desire for boys to sing male choral music, the Girls' Glee Club was organized in 1915 in order that girls might learn good choral music and participate in various programs. Today the main purposes of these groups are to increase an interest in recreational singing and to make improve- ments in both vocal and speaking techniques. Light, standard art songs and musical comedy numbers are favorites among all the Glee clubs and compose the typical repertoire of songs which are worked on daily. The boys and senior girls have their rehearsals on alternate afternoons during the seventh hour, while the other two girls' groups meet on every other day during the fourth hour.' Under the direction of Mr. Floyd Ohlson these groups took an active part in the presen- tation of the Christmas assembly. They were also members of the choruses of 'Tlnce in a Blue Moon, our operetta which was given this spring, and the beautiful May Festival, in which all choral members participated. At the close of the school year, the cluhs have either a picnic for each group or a general get-together. Hot dogs, bonfires, and baseball with Umpire Ohlson are in the schedule. Top Row: M.

Under the supervision of Miss Marjorie Brittain, adviser, and the watchful eye of Otto, the Owl mascot, news, feature, and sport stories move along the assembly line of copyreading, headlining, make-up, proof reading, folding, and finally distributing with a minimum of diffi- culty and a maximum of enjoyment for all concerned. After school sessions on Friday and Monday nights find the editors in. medics res, putting the finishing touches to the plans for the coming paper and also iron- ing out problems while sipping cokes or munching candy. Russell Parke, editor, diligently confers with 96 ' .lean Xvelsh and Katie Sturm, news editor and organiza- tions editor, respectively. Meanwhile Bill Dwyer, sports editor, is pounding the typewriter keys in earnest to rush the latest report into print. In addition, Bette Crouse and Phyllis Ekblade, eo-feature editors, are searching the mogue files for cuts to brighten the editorial page. Simultaneously, while the actual writing and organ- izing are underway, the important machinery of behind the scene jobs is also in full operation. Karen Kratz and her advertising staH' are out selling ads to local business establishments, Donna Hansen, publications book- keeper, is busy with the recordsg and Naomi Cain is instructing her circulation staff in folding and distribut- ing the paper. Yes, everyone adds his energy and initiative to the production of the Owl in order that it may present a true week to week picture of Our West High School Story.

In the meantime, Jean Schoonmaker, administration editor, was busy inter- viewing teachers and arranging the faculty section. Vivian Rathke, sophomore editor, laid out her sec- tion, organizing the homeroom pictures and arranging for the outstanding sophomore individual portraits. Ed Conklin, sports editor., commenced his work first by recording the sports of last spring and then by summarizing this yearis footbal, basketball, and swim- ming seasons. Our next step was to set up a plan for club group and candid pictures. Georgia Lee Doble, associate editor, slated theseg and Ronald Yvells, student photographer, snapped most of the clubs and devel- oped and printed the films. Xvhile all this was in progress, Lois Rudelius, associate editorg Polly Brad- ford, organizations editorg and Mary Lou Tullock, activities editor, were hard at work compiling data to put into story form on the objectives of each organization. As these accounts came to her, Charlotte Jeffrey, head typist, guided their transformation into typed copy for the printer. The important task of arranging and mounting page lay- outs was directed by Norm Remich, editorg Alan Higgins, art editorg Lee XViedenhoefer, layout editorg and Sally Day, make-up editor. ln the final weeks, Christine Gehrt, copy editor, supervised the checking of galleys and page proofs while Miss Marjorie Brittain, adviser, tied up all loose threads.

AN INTRODUCTIO T0 ORCHESTR Annual fall tea acquaints new members with activities, concert, plays, operetta Many of us look forward to our first hour class when wc can travel to the well-equipped orchestra room where Mr. June E. Bornor, director, is awaiting our arrival. Mr. Bornor organized the first orchestra in 1918 at Rockford High School for the purpose of teaching pupils the appreciation of fine music. The only require- ment necessary for one to become a member of this organization is to be able to play an instrument. Usually a few weeks after school has started the annual fall tea is held to welcome the sophomores. The president of the orchestra gives a short talk on our com- ing events, and some of the old orchestra members present a program. The tea ends with refreshments being served and with music for dancing being provided. As part of our regular activities during the first semester, we play for assemblies, for the junior and sen- ior plays, and for the Christmas pageant. During the second semester we enjoy our annual winter picnic, which is held at Sinnissippi Park. Other colorful events in which we participate are the Baccalaureate service, the May Festival, and the operetta. Some individuals may think that being in orchestra is an easy way to acquire credits. Mr. Bornor, however, has taken care to assure all students who enter orchestra that at the end of each semester a written test and a scale test are given. Gold medals are presented to seniors at thc end of their third year in orchestra. At the close of each conse- cutive year, gold service stars are distributed to all members who care to buy them. Since Mr. Bornor is also orchestra director at East High School, many of the two schools' act.ivities are com- bined, such as our annual banquet and hall and our Spring Concert. Our orchestra fun is finally brought to an end with this Spring Concert, which we play alter- nately at East and Wfest high schools. 101 Back Row: R. J. Boyer. R. Sally. L. Holmes. J. Rongere. A.

THE MUSIC'S SIMPLY GRAN Band boys play for concerts, games, assemblies, parades, and lots more Here comes the West High School Band out onto the football field at Beyer Stadium. It is an inspiring sight to see the ninety-seven piece band in their striking red and white dress uniforms marching through the various drill formations. After the football season is over, we play at the basketball games. Our enthusiasm some- times spills over, and the gym walls really rock with the intensity of our music. Our band is an important factor in our school life and that of our communityg for during the school year we participate in assemblies, ROTC Federal Inspection, and civic parades. Our director, Mr. George W. Trum- bull, puts us to work in earnest for the annual sacred concert held in a local church and for the spring concert given in West's auditorium. Everyone agrees, however, it is worth all the long hours of practice when we receive such favorable comments from the audience, and it makes us proud that we are members of the organization. lt is always a big treat for the members when a fellow- ship party is held and the boys enjoy themselves relax- ing in the swimming pool or playing basketball in the gym. This year the band gave the traditional yearly dance on January 13. The event was held in the school cafe- teria and was entitled Jinx Jump. Appropriate deco- rations were used, and members and their dates attended in hard times costumes. This year's band, with its complete instrumentation and large size, is better than ever able to give its mem- bers the thrill of playing with a symphonic organiza- tion, was Mr. Trumbull's reply when requested to give his opinion of the 1949-50 concert band. 103 Top Row: Carmen Dodaro.

R CLUB BOYS ARE GDDD CITIZEN Good fellowship, school service, and wholesome attitudes their goals To the members of R Club., the hard-earned letter stands for more than just a reward. It represents all the principles of value in competitive athletics. After win- ning a letter in some sport, we must continue to be 'kAs Vince Verace and Don Williams wait their turn.

YVe have certain other standards that we try to live up to, which include furthering good fellowship among our athletes, doing services for the good of the school, taking an active part in school organizations, and developing a wholesome attitude toward our rival teams. W'hile we are at present capahly advised by Mr. Milo lvillson, our club was originated at Central High School in 1927 under the direction of Mr. Charles Beyer. Mr. Arthur Lundahl, Mr. .lames Laude, and Mr. Clar- ence Muhl. W'hcn you see us in our red letter sweaters ushering at the basketball games, you are witnessing one of our most valuable services for the school. Besides this duty we are general handy men for the track meets, and we are scorekeepers for various other athletic events. Under the heading of social activities comes our annual picnic in the spring. We also sponsor a spring dance which is attended by all the students. It is this comprehensive program of events and activities which tends to make our club the popular organization that it is. PEP CL B HELPS 0 R TEAMS W N Clamorous cheers resound in Warrior gym as girls swing into action Hey., Rah! Rah! Rah, team, rahl This is one of the cheers that issues from the Little Theater when the Pep Club is holding its meetings. Since our purposc is to support the cheerleaders and increase the good spirit among the backers at the basketball games, we can often be heard practicing the school songs and yells. Any girl who has a season ticket to these games is eligible to become a member of our group, that is if she is willing to shout her loudest for the teams. The middle section of the bleachers is reserved especially for usg therefore, every member gets an excellent scat at the games. We have a card trick that we do to the cheer, Red and Black! Fight!

W'ith this mission in mind, the 279 cadets of the West High ROTC Battalion are trained. Students are instructed by Capt. Fred D. Pickering, PMSKT, who is assisted by MfSgt. Lowell lvarfel and Sgt. First Class Isaac Smith. The new cadet finds a variety of activities and work confronting him. His first chance to win an extra duty bar is by ushering at football games. Among the duties of an usher are showing people to their seats, handing out programs, and watching gates. Ushers are in full uniform and are, therefore, easily recognized. One of the spectacles always seen at a football game is thc color guard composed of a bearer of the American Hag, a battalion flag carrier, and two honor guards. The color guard precedes the band on the football field for the playing of the '4Star Spangled Banner. The guard may also be seen leading the battalion in parades. Members must be tall and be able to march well. Consisting of four members. this year's color guard marched at our foot- ball games and led the ROTC in various drills.

In our club, under the direction of our advisers, Miss Mildred Currier., Miss Jessie Lucas, Miss ,loan Hoffman, and Miss Mildred Pierce, we partici- pate in two main activities: sports, consisting of volleyball, basketball, and baseball, and swimming. Each year we hold tournaments among the three classes in the sports field, and we also have a swinmiing meet with races, relays, and diving. An- other important function of GAA is the selling of red and black colors before the East-West foot- ball game. In addition, the GAA'ers put on an aquatic show as their contribution to the 'iCounty Fair. Because of the large enroll- ment in the association this year, it was necessary to divide the club into two sections, with each girl attending her activities every other week instead of every week. For her work in three semesters of sports and swimming., a girl is given a major GAA letter. If she has six semesters of both, she is presented with a senior identifi- cation bracelet.

Centering around the trials and tribulations of a typical St. Louis family during the time of the lVorld's Fair in 190-1-, the plot moves rapidly through a series of hilarious situations. Mr. Smith, a husiness man, had a most diflicult time trying to persuade his family to move to New York City the year the Xvorldis Fair was to he in St. Louis. For more than a week the whole household was in an uproar, but the problem was finally solvedg and everyone attended the exposi- tion. Miss ,lean Erdoss directed the play, and Georgia Lee Dohle was student director. A highlight of this year was the production of the operetta Once in a Blue Moon on March 24- and 25, under the super- vision of Mr. Floyd Ohlson, music director, and Miss Lois Gill- ing, dramatics director. The st.udent assistants included Virginia Bergeron and Don Robertson.

Its purposes are as follows: to foster high scholarship among boy athletes, to stimulate a desire for balanced training. to elevate the ideals of sportsmanship, and to develop lnore oustanding leaders in the secondary schools of our country. This club was organized in Rockford by Principal James E. Blue in 1929 at Central High School. In the United States there are 2,000 chapters with a good representation from all states. Having earned an athletic letter in either a major or a minor sport., having an average which is equal to or higher than the general average of the school. and having exemplified the highest type of citizen- ship and sportsmanship, any boy in the tenth. elev- enth, or twelfth grades is qualified to join this society.

Athletic committee of WHEA sponsors movies, finances sports trips X' f The Athletic Committee of the NVHEA has been organized and active for three years for the benefit of Wfest High sports enthusiasts. The committee's general purpose is to promote wholesome and clean athletics. This idea is car- ried through by several projects during the year. The rules' demonstration and movies on basketball and football which they sponsored were intended to give fans more enjoyment from sports by knowing the rules. Wlarrior football team members and basketball squad boys enjoyed the committee-financed trips to Madison for the lvisconsin-California football game and a double-header basketball game in Chicago, Bradley-DePaul and Wiscon- sin-Northwestern. Similar trips were planned for the swim ming, baseball, and track teams. The players not only have the opportunity to see a big college game but also can learn a few tricks to use in their own contests. Meeting once a month with Assistant Principal J. E. Rose, the committee works to develop the program successfully. Top Row: Mr. J. E. Rose, Mr. Richard K. Lyford. Mr. Arthur A. Top Row: Mr. Charles M. Countryman. Mr. Melvin C. Kohlhagen.

As we all know, our cheerleaders are neat and well-groomed. Many compliments were given them on their uniforms and their deportment at the state basketball tournament in Champaign last year. In their Scotch plaid skirts and white jackets and with their snappy routines hacked by our cheering, our varsity cheerleaders have spurred our teams on to one victory after another. As the cheerleaders need to keep in practice, they rehearse at least once and sometimes twice a week. If there is a home game on Friday, this group stays right through, eating a sack lunch. in order to have more time to get ready for the night's game. Irtdlullzials Clockwise: P. Clark, B. Hocking. A.

The competition this year was very keeng and, as a re- sult, most of the meets proved to be very close and very exciting. The spotlight this year fell upon the sprint relay team. The combination of Vince Veraec, Bob Hill, Pat Mattison, and Ted Crowell was defeated only once during the entire season. Their best performance of the year were turned in against Clinton, Iowa. In the meet here they churned thc water in the ti111e of 1:38.7, well under the state record of 1:39.35 at Clinton their time of 1:l6.3 was also a second under the Iowa state record for the 160- yard event. In state meet competition the Warrioi' four's qualifying time was the best, but they could do no better than third the next day in the finals. These points, plus those won by Crowell, third in the 503 Verace, fourth in the 50:, Wfordcu, fifth in the 2003 and Mattison, fifth in the hundred: totaled 13 for the lvarriorsg this number was sufficient to place the team fifth in state meet competition.
