jr Mvi. If. 1 it « s ' v ALMA MATER Proudly waves old West High ' s emblem Black and orange fair, Floats triumphant in the breezes; No dishonor there. Student days have fondest memories; Comrades here we stand, As our troth to Alma Mater Pledge we hand in hand. From thy halls, dear Alma Mater, We at length must part. But thy memory sha ll not perish From one student’s heart. Far away on life’s broad highway All must fortune try; Still our loving hearts shall cherish Thoughts of thee. West High. 2 IN MEMORIAM He in whose mind the spark of genius lurks, Composer of great literary works, Great painter with his dreams in skillful hands. Discoverer haunted by new research plans, Thrilled virtuoso, artist to the core. Will find that fame will op’ her treasure door To let him in. Now, soldier, you are gone. My heart is sad. The world knows you not, nor will, my lad; Yet you ' re a Chopin modest, brave, and strong. Composer? No, hut finer than a song. You, sailor, who so passionately gave Your boyish life unto a watery grave. Are Barrymore? No, but you have played a part In Life’s true drama, written from man’s heart, A greater play than Shakespeare’s. Though your name’s not Bach, you’ve won you! prize; For you are known for courage in God’s eyes. Like many noble men who bravely died. There ' s something fine, an angel at your side. Who knows you are a genius. Upon the field a thousand marching feet Approach the battle, victory or defeat. And when a fellow dies, bis soul sublime Goes marching on, a Pasteur of his time.

President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer 42 FOOTBALL This year Lady Luck turned her hack on the West High football eleven. Because of many bad breaks. West High ended the season in seventh place with two wins, three ties, and three losses. West was considered an underdog all season, and those three ties certainly repre¬ sented moral victories. The three losses were to Edison, Madison, and Franklin, which ended in first, second, and third places, respectively. Monroe and Marshall were West ' s first victories in almost two years. In both of these games, victory was due to a superb running and passing attack. First Team: Albert Almansberger, Gerald Doser, John Francati, Joseph Gardner, Richard Garnish, John Lamb, Anthony Leon, George Monogan, Lee Odell, Robert Oliver, Jordan Pappas, Paul Perdue, Donald Phelps, Janies Rea, Phil Reed, Jack Richardson, Manager, John Schirmer, Willis Stewart, Paul Sullivan, Thomas Taylor, Captain, George Tracy, Manager, Ronald Vandewater, William Weegar, Howard Young.

Dean Schmidt. Jack Stump. Howard Watford. With a record of five wins and three losses West High ' s soccer team finished the season in third place in the Interscholastic Soccer League. The season got off to a good start, hut Monroe upset the applecart by a 6-4 score. Things continued smoothly the rest of the season till West lost to Franklin and Madison, the teams that finished the season in first and second place West showed up very well offensively as well as defensively and won the respect of all her opponents. SOCCER 44 SWIMMING This year ' s swimming team lived up to the tradition set by former teams. Swimming has long been one of the outstanding sports at West. As this is written West appears sure of at least second place. Mainstays of Coach Koval Brown’s (inmen have been Bruce Brooks, Stan Bueg, Larry Chapman, Joe Gardner, Frankie Hoercher, Ed Jensen, and Phil Heed. Prospects for next year’s team are not too bright, because many of the stars of this year leave West. But Coach Brown may be able to come up with a squad that will carry on in the tradition of the Black and Orange.
