If upon completing your high school career in our public schools, you sincerely feel and believe that under our form of gov- ernment and our American way of life the ave- rage man, in addition to the blessing of liberty, has enjoyed more material advantages and has had a better condition of well-being and economic security in the United States than the average man anywhere under any form of government in the whole history of civili- zation, you not only have amply repaid so- ciety for its investment in you, but you have learned a way of life which will cause you to cherish and protect it at every opportunity.

Q EIIIEIIIIEISI' MHMMPPH SIENI From pigtails to bobby sag from birthday parties to ban- quets, from Hring-around-the rosyn to basketball tourna- ments and sports conferences, the Class of 'M7 has advanced since that September day in 1935 when twenty-five first graders entered Miss Kase's room. In order to cope with the timid, the tearful, and the homesick, Miss Kase main- tained the Ucry baby's cor- ner.H Remember, kids? Get- ting adapted involves a mat- ter of time and willingness to make personal sacrifices. These nmen and women of to- morrown were well adjusted by their second year. Re- cess periods on the play- ground, those first struggl- ing notes on a new musical in- strument, the panicky feeling just before the presentation of the grade-school operetta- all belong to that memorable era--Hschool days.N In a remarkably short time eight years had passed. It was May, l9H3--eight grade commencement time. This was definitely a milestone i n their young lives. HElmer,H the play the graduates pre- sented, depicting the event- ful life of a fourteen-year old boy, was a high point in the evening's program. But even more important was the diploma each member of the class received--an impressive red, suede booklet that signr fied that each was eligible to enter high school. The fall of 1943 arrived. Thirty- one would- b e high school sophisticates entered the portals of WPHS as lowly nFrosh.H A week that all will remember was the week o f DRS Freshmen initiation. A set of rigorous rules were gi- ven each Freshman with strict orders that they must b e obeyed. Judicial legislation, the HKangaroo Courtn type,was administered to punish the culprits who dared disobey the law. But the week of ini- tiation passed and gradually the novelty of high school wore off, so that by the time the class reached their So- phomore year, they, in turn, dubbed the incoming Freshmen as HGreenhorns.H Throughout the year the nSophsH conti- nued their active participa- tion in athletics, band,vocal groups, and declam. May came and with it pro- motion to the Junior year. HThe play's the thing,H was the Junior's chant as they re- hearsed night after night for HThe Missing Heirs.H T h e class play exemplified a sup- posedly average American fam- ily and their life before and after a rich inheritance fell into their possession. The smell of grease paint, butter flies in the stomach, the mad bustle backstage--all of it has a definite part in that period of footlight fever and class-play time. That year's Juniors experienced all of that, too. Spring dawned on WPHS and the Juniors began thinking of that highlight of highlights- the Junior- Senior Banquet. Blue and silver the colors the Class of 'Hg had chosen afforded many interesting op- portunities. But to the Jun- iors, who could vision sil- very glaciers, blue shadows, and a cold atmosphere, it spelled HA-r-c-t-i-c.W A nd ly- so it was that an Eskimo theme was carried out in the Junior-Senior Banquet of that year. when school convened that fall, last year's Juniors started an eventful year.They had two class parties and two picnics with their sponsors, Mrs. Brubaker and Mr. Rarick. Besides participating i n sports, music, declam, radio work, the Seniors had the ad- ded responsibility of serving on the West Pointer and the Cadet Staffs. Having pic- tures taken, ordering announ- cements, getting measured for caps and gowns, taking part in the class play ...... these were the exciting, the event- ful, the memorable days all Seniors anticipate with such anxiety. The Honors Convoca- tion in the spring saw many Seniors receiving scholar - ship certificates for four years of hard work. T h e HSneak Dayu in Omaha w a s one that no Senior will ever forget. T h e Junior-Senior Banquet was all that both Juniors and Seniors hoped for. And so arrived the last week of school. The Bacca- laureate was held on May 18, in the high school gymnasium. Dr. Earl W. Wiltse of Grand Island was the guest speaker on the Commencement program on May 22, when twenty-one Seniors received their di- plomas and became the Ualum- nin of WPHS.

The class of l9M7 of West Point High School is holding its tenth annual reunion. The committee on entertainment in o r d e r to surpass all former committees and to fur- nish a really superior brand of comedy, has installed a modern Electro-Television sen This is the brain child of the noted scientist and in- ventor, who is called the se- cond Madam Curie, but whose real name is Beverly McPher- son. She has assured us that we can tune this gadget in such a manner that we will be able to see for a moment each m e m b e r of the graduating class of 1947. We carefully follow the directions furnished us by our scientific friend, whose inventions have been financed by the rich jeweler she mar- ried, and turn the necessary switches to set the machine in operation. After a mini- mum amount of buzzing a n d flashing, the first person to appear upon the screen is Louise Clausen. She is sit- ting behind a large desk on w h i c h appears the title HLibrarian.H While s h e is hard at work, a school girl enters this large Chicago li- brary and we hear her ask for Neva White's latest collec- tion of poems. Louise in- forms her that they have been unable to supply the great de- mand f o r that volume, but that additional copies are ex pected next week. T0 CC We turn the little knob a n d our scene switches to Hollywood where we see Joan Stewart rehearsing for the leading role in HSour Milk Skies.H Joan seems to be as- sisted by Joyce Bartak, who designed the costumes and the scenery for the production. We just caught a glimpse of the director, it is n o n e other than Jim Motl. Now our scene changes to far off Italy where we see Lester Pagels as an accordion grinder. He is grinding for a l l he is worth! And, of course, he has a monkey pas- s i n g the cup. No ---- Wait! It's not a monkeyg it's Ellis Rall. now shifts to Our scene Washington, D. C. I n t h e White House, the President has had a very important con- ference concerning the fu- ture of the entire world. The meeting has just adjourned and the men are leaving. One of them we recognize as Duane Benne, who is Secretary of Agriculture. We a 1 s o see Robert Peters, the present Secretary of the Navy. Now we see a tired figure emerg- ing from the President's of- fice. He looks care-worn and seems to be heavily burdened. Yes, it is David Wortman car- rying o u t the waste paper baskets. In the next scene we find Barbara Camin at her desk as President of the UCamin-You- ....15... Name-It-We've-Got-It-Grocery! All of a s u d d e n there seems to be a great inter- ference in our contraption. We can see something moving up and down and all we can hear is Hone-two,one-two,one- two.H N o w it seems to be clearing. Oh, yes, we can see plainly that it is Donna Johnson giving reducing ex- ercises. The screen now reveals a scene of domestic tranquility We see Patty Carle enjoying a happy married life. All of a sudden the tranquility is broken and we see Patty Hgiv- ing itn to her young son for putting beans By turning again, we see dress shop on New York. It in his ears. the s w i t c h on our screen a Fifth Avenue in is owned and op erated by Patty Druhe. And her m o s t popular model is Gloria Bohlmann. The next scene to come on the s c r e e n is one in the halls of learning of the Uni- versity of Nebraska. In a small room of the Administra- t i o n Building,we see June Woerner as Dean of Women. While in a larger reception room is Betty Bailey, as sec- retary to the Chancellor. Now our scene changes to a front porch and we see Dick Simonson relaxing in a big rocking chair. We find that he is enjoying one of his vacation periods. You s e e, he is a professional Santa Claus. In our next scene we see a plane flying over the At- lantic Ocean. We recognize the pilot to be Sally Stover, and her passenger is Urdeen Meyer, n o w a professional linguist. Our screen next reveals beautiful Hawaii, where we see Luther Lambrecht riding his stately steed on an in- spection tour of his pine- apple plantation. That oc- cupation probably resulted from his taking fruit courses in school. Having looked in on the Class of 1947, we find an un- controllable urge to see what the faculty of that year is doing. We find them at their usual occupation: Just sitting in a schoolroom, In a great big easy chair, And keeping things amovin' With a lordly sort of air. Not a thing to do but asking Lots of questions from a book, 'Spectin' kids to know the answers, Though they're not allowed to look. CBorrowedJ M .al .4g. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President Bill Strube Ray Stover Vice-President Warren Jones Dale Benne Secretary-Treasurer Alice Wilde Elizabeth Moodie This year was one of great significance to the Juniors. No longer underclassmen, the class o f '48 established a record for themselves. Know- ing that next year they would be seniors, they were deter- mined t o distinguish them- selves this year. Being the largest class in the school, they were widely represented in all school activities. Beginning in the fall,they had their class picnic at the Clay Pit. During the foot- ball and basketball seasons, they held an important place in the school as many members of both teams were Juniors. Fifteen of them lettered in football and seven in both football and basketball. Hu- bert Firnhaber was one of the cheerleaders for that season Into every Junior's life fall two important events-- the play and the banquet. On December 5, a group of stage- frightened Juniors success- fully presented UShadows In the Night.U The other high- light of the year was ful- filled when t h e following spring they gave the annual Junior-Senior Banquet--one of the most enjoyable banquets ever given by a Junior Class. Only two Juniors, Ray Sto- ver and Elizabeth Moodie, en- tered the declamatory contest. T h r e e students from this class were chosen to be mem- bers of the National Honor Society. On the evening of March 14 the Juniors had a good time at a party in the Junior-High assembly with their sponsors, Miss Lallman and Miss Ickman. Hoping t h a t next year would bring as much success as the past had brought, the Juniors awaited the autumn, when they at last would en- ter the halls of WPHS as the mighty seniors, the Class of l9M8l l41.

Three o f the sophomore g i r l s, Patty Westerhoff, Betty Stratton, and Harriet Jones--did a grand job as twirlers. Although not the largest or the mightiest class, WPHS could not have done without them. Class sponsors were Miss Peck and Mr. Lancaster. ll22-l IIQIFSIM FIRST ROW: B 0 n n i e M e i e r, Barbara Bartak, Eunice Bettenhausen, Myrtle Sila, Marion Nelson, Jean Peters, Ellen Woodka, Darlene Luehring, A r d i s Bunn, Donna Beckenhauer.

They have set a precedent in WPHS by drawing up a formal constitution, to be followed by t h i s class throughout their high s c h o o l years. The Freshmen entered into their high school life by joining clubs, participating in their class parties and picnics, a n d adding their share to the school spirit by attending the games during the year.

Ten lettermen reported to Coach Starr at the beginning of the season, and although the Cadets won no games, they built up a strong reserve powerhouse for the next sea- son. Twenty-nine players won their letters with only five of these being Seniors. West Point had an eight- game schedule, but only seven games were played. The con- test scheduled with Stanton was canceled because of bad weather. The featured event of the season was the bus trip to Holy Name of Omaha. The five Seniors who ended their football days with the Cadets a r e Robert Peters, three-year lettermang Duane Benne, a n d Dick Simonson, both two-year lettermeng and Ellis Rall and David Wortman, one-year lettermen.

The W e s t Point Cadets finished the 1946-H7 season with victories in two sche- duled games and one practice game. T h e Cadets defeated the Beemer Cagers in a pre- season practice game, 22-15. In mid-season, the Pointer quintet defeated a strong Oakland team, 35-335 and in the last scheduled game of the season, the Cadets romped over Scribner, 53-37. The Cadets played G.A. in the District Class HCM Tour- nament at Midland College for the second year in succession, O u r team held a big lead throughout the first three quarters. In t h e closing minutes of the fourth quarter however, the G.A. team gained the lead. The final score. 49-HM in favor of G.A., ended the Cadets' basketball season The following boys earned their basketball letter this season: Robert Peters, Ellis R a l l, Duane Benne, Donald Gustafson, Donald Starr, Bill Strube, Ivan Stratton, Dale Benne, Glenwood Rush, Allen Schwartz, D i c k Leisy, Ray Howard,and Robert Hasebroock.

Swanson, the West Point High School Band start- ed its yearly schedule in mid-July, with thirty mem- bers comprising the group. Long before the opening of school, the band members were practicing and working hard to make their first appear- ance at Stanton's Annual Band Festival. Later, the band played for the Beef Show at Wisner. They gave their first home concert that fall at the Cuming County Fair. T h e day before school started, t h e band members went to Lincoln to play for Veterans' Day at the Nebraska State Fair. Here, the mem- bers received their biggest thrill of the season--march- ing in the parade past the rostrum on w h i c h General HIkeH Eisenhower stood salut- ing. West Point's High School Band made its next public ap- pearance at Pender's Labor Day celebration, giving an hour's concert. Later at the Dodge County Fair in sfcribneg the band gave another even- ing concert. Still later in the season, the band members were especially honored to be invited to play in Bancroft for the dedication of the pavement on Main Street. .ggl AN Football season brought its thrills, too. The Band traveled on a chartered bus to Lincoln f o r the annual High School Band Day at the Kansas University - Nebraska football g a m e. Each high school b a n d participating gave a drill on the Nebraska football field in the morning and a mass performance drill between halves of the game. In f u l l regalia--white pants and red jackets,trimmed with gold--our high school band marched and played for m o s t of the home football games. And we couldn't pos- sibly have done without the Pep Band playing for all the home games and most of the out-of-town games during the basketball season. We were proud of our band, too, when they turned out in full dress to play for the Republican Caravan when it stopped in West Point in Nov- ember. The band members and small instrumental groups appeared in a Christmas Program on December l8, making it one of the most enjoyable and in- spiring evenings of the year. Joyce Bartak and Arla Mae Solfermoser attended t h e Nebraska M u s i c Educators Clinic on the Nebraska Uni- versity campus at Lincoln in November. On March 2, Sally Stover, Donna Johnson,Beverly and Bonnie McPherson played in the Clinic Band held at the Hospe Music Store in Oma- ha. Sightreading new music was especially stressed at the Clinic. The annual Spring Concert was held early this year, on March H, to get away from the Mend-of-the-school-year rush? The one-hour program included o n e Hboogie woogien number and a musical HBedtime Storyn narrated by Lester Pagels and accompanied by the band. The concert ended with the play- ing of the Star Spangled Ban- ner. The Band and instrumental groups g o i n g to the wayne Contest gave a pre-contest concert on April 16 in the high school gym. In the an- nual Music Contest at Wayne, held May 18 and 19, Arla Mae Solfermoser played a clarinet solo and Phyllis Predoehl a cornet solo. The Brass Sex- tette, Cornet Trio, and the Band itself, also took part. New members entering at the first of the year, at the end of the first semester, a n d at the close of the s c h o o l year, brought the Band's total membership to forty. As the school year closed, the band was prepar- ing for its annual home ap- pearance in the Memorial Day Parade.

The purpose and aim of the Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to ren- der s e r v i c e, to promote worthy leadership, and to en- courage the development of good character in the future citizens of our Democracy. The members to the Society are elected from the upper one-third of the Junior and Senior classes by a Council of the faculty members. The first semester of this year, Beverly McPherson and Neva White were elected from the Senior class. The new mem- bers were installed by the National Honor Society offi- cers of Wayne High School, Wayne, Nebraska.

Besides the Eldridge family, the neighbor kids, and Mrs. Eldridge's three suitors--a Hollywood talent scout, two reporters, and a prize fighter arrive on the scene to complicate an al- ready complicated plot. Al- though peace and quiet never descend on the Eldridge house- hold, the play ended a trifle less tempestuously than i t might seem possible, judging from the mad scramble o f e v e n t s that took place throughout the play. lgg.
