PUBUCflTIOnj I'll The t$) CADET THE 1956 Cadet Is truly a student product. This Is the first tine that West Point High has published a mimeographed annual. In fact, it is the first annual since 1951. The Seniors thru their own initiative voted to publish and finance the entire publication work. All the work, except for the printing and binding of the cover was done by the Senior class. We have attempted to bring out a cross section of school life in this book. It is often true that students interested 1 n one department are not familiar with the work other students are doing. It is our purpose, therefore, t o bring together all department work into one book for the menories of the class of 1956, It has been only thru the full cooperation of the staff and class members that we were able to do this. -oOo j ro ff Editor- 1 n -chief Bob Kerl Make-up Editor..

In the fall of 1935, a league was formed with Beener, Guardian Angels, and West Point High. West Point entered three teams In the league while the renaining two had me team each. The West Point captains were: team A, Henry Rehling; team B, Herman Pipor, team C, Rudolph Mis-erez. A round robin was drawn up by the coaches of the three schools. Altho West Point had three chances to place, at the completion of this schedule, the Guardian Angels emerged with no defeats narked against them. This left West Point MB and C tied for second and Beener and West Point HAH tied for fourth place. To actually test the strength of the G.A. team, the schedule called for an All Star-G. A. game. Despite the fact that the wlntery season brought rain and sleet, the G. A.1s showed their suprenecy by routing the All-Stars 12-3.

SEASON HEN coach Armstrong called hla nen together for their initial practice, ha nunbered only three letter nen among his basket pupils. Nevertheless, the Carets wound up their first season under his coaching with an average o f .750. They ciade 15 victories out of 20 to reel off one of their most successful seasons.They finished, winning the district tourna.nent and breaking even with a victory and a defeat in the state tournament at Lincoln. Mr. Armstrong developed players t h a t gained recognition from state sports writers. Vic” Poledna was named on an honorable mention team for state players and Henry Rehling on the Clas? B honor list at the state tournament. Letter Men Eight nen earned letters: Levi Poledna, Herman Piper, Henry Rehling, Reinhard Frese, Seniors; Rud- olph Miserez, LeRoy Torardle,Willard Wendt, Juniors; and Warren Paul; Freshman. These boys made 380 points t o their opponents 267. Altho the Cadets didn't reach the point a minute stage, they did make 85 of a point a minute. Included in the Cadets' schedule w e r e three teams represented at the state tournament; Norfolk, Fremont, and Winnebago. Because games nay be won or lost on free throv 3,Coach Armstrong conducted a free throv? contest. To make the players practice free throws, an award was offered. A battle royal was underway, and after the lead changed hands several times between Frese and Piper, Piper finished ahead with an average of .751. Piper 1st .751 Frese 2nd .742 Poledna 3rd .705 Rehling 4th .616 Miserez 5 th .608 Paul 6th .598 Tomerdie 7th .505 Wendt 8th .487 THMJ THE 'CfHElDOiE THE West Point High School's 1936 basket ball team opened its season in true red and vrhite fashion. Anxious for the opening game and playing on their own floor, the Cadets nailed the Macy Indians 21 to 13. The next week the Pointers doubled their opponents score to win from Scribner 40 t o 20.After two breezie victories, the Cadets were set back by Fremont; but regained their strength against Wakefield and Wisner the following week. Winnebago Took Cadets Coach Armstrong's men suffered their first unexpected defeat at the hands of Winnebago. The Indians, in a blast of superlative basketball covered the local rien 33 to 25. The Cadets retaliated on Tekamah, but suffered another defeat in the following game with Norfolk. Then the West Pointers blasted thru four teams to take four straight victories. Blair, Oakland, Wayne, and Schuyler were the four unlucky schools. Pierce triumphed over the Cadets 22 to 18 following the West Point spree . After their fourth defeat the Cadets won six games straight. This long record was broken at the state tournament when the Cadets ’ ere eliminated by Peru Prep,24 to 19. « V.I Jr U ■ Recorded on the pages o f history is the outc one of the game between the Juniors and the Freshies in the inter-class tournament. The Freshies made a notable upset b y nosing out the Juniors 14 to 13 in the initial game. The Seniors tromped on the Soph's in their first game and smothered the Freshies in the final game.

Henry Rehling and Rudolph Miserez-doubles on the floor as forwards, fast at break- ing, accurate shots. Reinhard Frese—a one year man at center, height often meant winning of game.

LeRoy Tomerdly----hard player, good eye at free throws. Quick at passing. PlBBE TEAM ROSPECTS for a good Cadet five in 1S37 were very promissing. After looking at the scores the Plebes piled up against their opponents, it was seen that the team would give up good men for the Cadet team. The Plobos team was coa,ched by Mr. Max Barrett, Junior high instructor. Three first team men in 1937 will be Sophomores Paul, now a first team man, Wagner and Prawitz will b e those to step into vacant Cadet positions. Ross Dill, Harold Johnson, Bernard Von-derheide, Dean Under-berg, and Wilmer Bet-tenhausen were other Plebes that caused the outlook for the West Pointers to be bright.

That sane association could also look back upon a rnenbershlp of forty-five persons. MGirls and athletics is a phrase not yet conpletely cemented together as well as shoes and ships and celling w a x . Still, in West Point basketball, clogging, marching, and tumbling is indication that girls are far from strangers to athletics. Play Day October 19, the acne of the fall activities was reached a t the girls’annual play day. The West Point members together with eight girls from Beener enjoyed what Caroline Thonpson, the president, announced as one of the best events of its kind they had ever sponsored. The event was held in the form of a circus. Six teams were organized: Corky Caa« els, Bouncing Bears, Ducky Dogs, Elegant Elephants, Guady Giraffes, and Prancing Ponies.Special numbers for the program were given by the West Point girls. The bun dance , the daring young nan on the flying trapeze , and tap dancing featured the special numbers. Basketball And again the organization supplied excitement for the school when the Junior girls took the top honors at the interclass basketball tournament, winning over the Sophomores 18-16 in an extra session game. The strong Sophomore team advanced to the finals after top- ping the Senior score 18-15. After their defeat the Seniors beat the Freshmen 20-3 to gain third place.

This money was used to pay for a week-end at Fremont. The girls picked a rainy weekend for their outing; but nevertheless,fishing, hiking, and pugball supplied the necessary entertainment to round out a successful year. . muj'ic Music tWAIlTMBNT TI T was in 1906 that J1 five musically-minded students organized West Point High's first band. Since then a music department has been organized, and the band increased to a number exceeding seventy members. Music Fields During the pa3t four years much interest has been displayed in the music department of the school. Under the trained supervision of Mr. R. W. Hilller, music director, instrumental and vocal work has been given new Interest. A forty-five piece first bond was built up in those four years.Quartet, trio, and solo work was carried on with a certain degree of suc-c e s s in previous times, but 1936 inspired future Bing Crosby's and Kate Smith's to try their luck at crooning. In the year 1934-35 the school board ap-priated sufficient funds to purchase band capos for all of the musicians in the first band. This greatly added to the appearance of the bond and increased the public's interest. During the year 1935-'36 the band acquired a number of new Instruments: both Eb and BBb sousaphones, alto clarinet,timpani, bells, flute, bassoon, oboe, baritone, saxophone and euphonium. Perfect instrumentation wos striven for with the result that the band advanced from the average rating to good rating at the district contest. Beginner' s Band A beginner's thirty-piece band was organized this year. I t was known as the second band. A concert was given within a few weeks after its organization, for the benefit of the parents '°nd others interested.

P. H. S. music students participated in the District 3 music contest held on the Wayne State Teachers College Campus. West Point xvas one of 43 schools competing. The music department scored 17 points,nearly twice last year's total. This is indicative that progress has been made and that an interest has been created in musical activities. Individual competition, was admittedly more difficult this year. That, however, was immaterial to the three who spent long hours of practice in anticipation of competition in which they could achieve a rating of excellent . It took n o Judge's decision to tell West Pointers that Warren Collins was a musician of excellent ability with his rare instrument, the vlbraharp.And band members, though the general public may not have realized it , could have foretold recognition or clear and unusually brilliant brasses in the cornet duet of John Baas and Gene Collins. This year's ne™ feature of competition, baton twirling, was easy slldding for Walter Thompson who, despite a hand run thru a wringer, was agile enough in this manual art t o twirl for nearly five minutes without a single bobble. rt a Fsmmcy Vibraharp Solo...Warren Collins.,,,..Excellent Cornet Duet......John Baas,, Gene Collins,Excellent Baton Twirling...Walter Thompson.....Excellent Clarinet Solo... .Joseph Kase........ ...Good Saxophone Solo...Helen Collins............Good Sousaphono Solo. .Kendall Baker...........Good Girls Solo.......Lois Baas...........,...Good Girls Trio.......Lois Baas,Helen Johnson Laura Kollmorgen......Average Musical VaEII IttS1 Of 'It TH E second annual Musical Varieties wa3 presented to the public on March 27.

The program opened with contest selections to be presented a t Wayne, together with novelty numbers by the band. The second presentation o n the program was two selections by Lois Baas, Helen Johnson, and Laura Kollnorgen, who made up the girl1s trio. Following then, Kendall Baker played his sousaphone solo. Nixed Chorus The mixed chorus appeared forth o n the program singing Stars of a Sumner Night and a Russian song, Ihe Sleigh . A saxophone solo by Helen Collins was the next instrumental number. Walter Thompson, Wayne Stewart, Robert Schmidt, and Herman Piper com— posed the male quartet that appeared later. Joseph Kase's clarinet solo followed the male quartet. Walter Thompson gave a novel presentation of baton twirling, after which Lois Baas sang a solo. Warren Collins played a vi-braharp solo, and Gene Collins and John Baas gave a cornet duet. Musical Comedy Featuring the program w a s a one-act musical comedy, Quest of the Gypsy . When the curtain rose, the chief of a band of bachelor gypsies tells the audience that he is looking for a cook; so he seeks a chef off stage. A group of city girls masquerading in the country as gypsies offer to be his cooks. A country boy falls in love with one of the girls while the chief falls in love with another. The operetta ended with the gypsies and girls pledged together. Those at the rostmjm HP H REE boys and a ii coach closed the debate season at West Point H 1 G h after speaking In 64 d .e-bates,winning the district tournament, and going four rounds i n the state tournament. The students who have debated during; the year are: Wayne Stewart, Bob Kerl, Joe Kase, Phyllis Peters, Harvey Feyerherm and Bob Moulton. Together these debaters won 61.4 per cent o f 44 decisional debates. Teams Beaten The A team, Wayne Stewart and Bob Kerl, won 17 of their 24 debates for a 70% record. Among the schools the A team has beaten are; Emerson, Sacred Heart of Norfolk,Wayne Prep, Kearney, and 0-□aha Tech, Fremont, Norfolk. West Point entered seven debate tournaments during the year, five of then practice tourneys, a t Fremont High, Thomas Jefferson High of Council Bluffs, Iowa; Norfolk C-PDCT High, Wayne High, and West Point. The outstanding work in practice tourneys was at the Midland Invitational where the A team went seven rounds. District Meet The peak of the season n a w Kerl, Stewart, and Feyerherm a t Wayne College, ready to try for district honors. A judging staff of South Dakota speech professors awarded de-sislon after decision to West Point. Norfolk, Wayne; Norfolk, Wayne, were defeated as many times as their names are mentioned here, while West Point swept undefeated to first place. At state t h i 8 team settled state medicine in the preliminary rounds b y throwing Kearney and Norfolk from competition. Holdrege,tourney finalist, punctured West Point’s hopes one round before the quarter finals. Si! v t- V '§TlRAy fc . CATS' Nthe fall of 1936 the Juniors tried their hand a t play production. Stray Cats was presented to an audience of approximately 700 persons, November 8. The plot centered a-round a will which provided a legacy o f one million dollars to go to one of three nephews, whosoever was married by a certain date. As the will was not found until the morning of the set date and all consins were unmarried, they each made frenzied at- tempts to win the legacy. Excellent comedy was created when they all proposed to the same women. Emily DeWald and Bernard Vonderheide took the leading roles. Emily,as Kitty, won the sympathy of the audience thru her simple, sensible ways. Contrasted with her was Dick, Bernard Vonderheide. Need we mention the others!

Otiiu AIN ID SC1ROUL The WEST POINTER, this year,was approved by Q,ulll and Scroll, international honorary society for high school Journalists. This entitled West Point high to organize a chapter i n which the Journalism class took personal membership. Quill and Scroll numbers over one tnou-sand chapters which are located in every state of the Union, in Hawaii, England,China, British Honduras and Alaska. Fifteen thousand young Journalists, from schools which are outstanding 1 n the quality o f their publication work, wear the badge of the society. Purpose Quill and Scroll was organized April 10, 1926, by a group of high school advisers for the purpose of encouraging °nd reward-1 n g individual a-chievement in Journalism and allied fields. The society has taken an active part in raising stand- ards in this field and 1 n directing the course of high school Journalism. This society does research work in Journalistic fields and advises high schools concerning every phase of publication work. Membership According to the constitution, members 0 f Quill and Scroll are chosen from the students enrolled in high school -'ho at the time of their election meet the following requirements: (1) They must be of at least Junior standing. (2) They must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing at the time of their election (for the current year).

The members did enter several articles in the national organization's news writing contest. Awards were given to pupils of every state in the Union. In 1936-37 the organization hopes t o create further interest in Journal!bn, to publicize the school, to help create a still better West Pointer. Before 1955 west Point High could speak of only one organization, outside of the G.A•A•, hut i n 1935-56 two more organizations were installed. Quill and Scroll and The future Farmers of America, along with th Latin Jlub were organized- to extend interest in the educational field which they represented. Each organization has an accredited membership of which they can be justly proud. V ith each year, it is hoped that the organisations will extend their activities. —luTOGRQPH —luTOGP APH
