Today, nearly 140 years later, these two have a combined population of 22,000 and a total of 5,994 dwelling units. In 1948 the two school districts of Ross Township and West View combined to form what now is known as the North Hills Schools. With growth so rapid in the two districts, both found that a joint program would result in a better school plant and a more effective educational program. The results of this reorganization program prove the wisdom used by those responsible for it.

Gui .1 F OREWORD 0 phrase is more common to the high school student than the popular advice, Make the most of your high school days 'cause they're the best. Students nowhere could be more aware of the truth in this statement than those at West View High School, because West View too is the best. Moans are constantly being heard from underclassmen who wish to be seniors, but when graduation comes, any senior would gladly trade places with anyone beneath him. Many different paths will be taken by us graduates, but no matter what the future may hold in store for us, it will never replace those wonderful days at West View. For this reason we have developed the theme of the 1950 Westvian around the theme dearest to us all- West View High School. We want this yearbook to serve as a record of every day spent at West View- of our administrators and teachers, our friends, and our activities. , We invite you to join with us as we present our favor- ite story-the story of our last year at West View. 5 4...

TO THE CLASS OF 1950 - It is always with a feeling of uncertainty that we say goodby to each graduating class. We wonder as we see our job as teachers about to be completed, whether or not we have done that job successfully. We never get the full answer to that question, until many years later. If you are successful in taking your place as a happy conscientious, diligent Ameri- can citizen, then we know that West View High School could have had some part in that success. As you leave this high school, and leave the unit known as the Class of 1950, you will be seeking new interests, making new friends and striving for new and greater goals. We have tried to provide oppor- tunities through your participation in the school program which will enable you to take your place in the American way of life. We hope that you will be able to stand on your own feet and progress satisfactorily. The ceremony that you will go through in order to graduate is called Commencement, It is well named. It is the beginning of the adult phase of your life. As you face it you know that you have rny Wish and the wishes of the entire faculty for your success and happiness. May you as a member of this West View High School Class of 1950, bring greater acknowledgment to your class by the good deeds you do after Commencement. Robert F.

During the past few years, these paths have met and have been combined into the High School. There are young men and wo- men who now are being graduated and who look strikingly like those small boys and girls of yesteryear. We, as administrators, as well as you who are being graduated, must look Janus-like into both the past and the future. It is common to all of us, that the friendships formed during our as- sociations in school are among our brightest jewels of life. You who are leaving look for- ward to new friends in the future, we who re- main look to the new and younger boys and girls to take your honored places. What have the schools tried to give you? It has been our desire to equip each of you with the tools of learning, the beginning of life ex- periences, activities in general which will en- able you to take your places in life. As steel is refined, molded, shaped and then allowed to age before being put to use, so must young men and women mature in both thought and in skill and practice in using these fundamentals and ideas. In a few short years you will occupy the places which your parents and teachers now hold. We hope that you may be prepared to meet world problems in a far more peaceful and practical manner than have we who have gone before you. We envy you your opportunities and the chance to profit from our mistakes. As you leave these halls, take with you our best wishes, our continued interest in you, our friendship and the many pleasant recollections of our associations with you. Come back to re- new your past association with us. You are always welcome-and as we bid you a reluc- tant farewell, we wish you Godspeed. Edith A. Waddell R. S. Rice W.

SCHOOL BOARD cfeferminw our JCAOO!!90gCi8,5 The Board of Education of the North Hills Joint Schools is proud of the opportunity to congratulate individually and collectively the Class of 1950. We are proud of your many and varied achievements both in your academic work and in activities. We are proud of the school spirit manifested both on the field and in the stands, in victory and in defeat. This second year under the joint agreement has served to further cement the relationship already existing between Ross Township and West View Borough. The two districts working together make it possible to be assured that the same high standards of achievement built up through the years will be maintained. An enrollment of the size needed to offer a well- rounded curriculum is also assured. All members of this Board join with your school administrators, faculty, and friends in wishing for you the necessary courage and desire to face life bravely, for a willingness to play the game honestly and fairly. Above all, it is our fervent hope that each and every one of you will be devoted to the cause of democracy and a love of country that will make you in- telligent citizens of whom we can continue to be proud. SENIOR EXECUTI CE COUNCIL giued ow ffm Aedf in acfiuified How about something different for an ac- tivity this year'? Why don't we rent a ferry boat for a moonlight excursion? Let's have a good ole square dance! Couldn't we have a skating party? What's wrong with a hay- ride '? These are just a few typical examples of suggestions offered the executive council when planning the senior activity. Everyone wanted something new and different, so the council really had a tough time trying to plan some- thing that would interest all tastes and still be original. After many meetings and much strain on the council members, they finally came up with a really top activity-a Carnival Hop!! The Carnival, complete with fortune teller, kissing booth, penny pitch, trick photographer, dart games, cake contest and others was com- bined with a dance and held in the high school. Probably the most unforgettable part of the evening, was the program at intermission, con- sisting of the famous Ragtime Charlie Delp, that talented Four-Maldehydes Quartet, and those terrific, exciting dancing dolls. After the Carnival Hop was over, the execu- tive council, with Stuart Warner as president, Gene Miller, vice president, Sue Beall, Secre- tary, and Lois Weixel, treasurer, plus home- room representatives Bobby Lamneck, Helen Williams, Audrey Anton, Doris Ford, Jim Burke, Ken Rall, Lucille Seethaler, and Carol Hefren, settled down to making arrangements for the dinner dance, the senior class play, and other events. lt's really tough to plan activities that satisfy 250 seniors, and we thank the executive coun- cil for doing such a good job of it this year.

STUDE T COUNCIL Jfzfwfenf gouemcmenf in aclfion The trademark of a democratic school is a strong, active Student Council voicing the hopes and desires of all the students. As a bridge between the administration and the students, the West View council has functioned smoothly and efficiently. Much of the credit is due to President Dave Roy and Vice-president Norman Brenneis assisted by an able cabinet. Faculty guidance was supplied by Mrs. A. Hartmann, Mr. Jordan, and Mr. Metz. Our council has always been noted for its numerous accomplishments. In September the Council sparked a maga- zine campaign that netted almost 9'p1,l00. Some of this sum was used to buy a new clock and scoreboard for the gymnasium. A lion's share of the profits was earmarked for special as- semblies starring such attractions as: Jack Rank interpreting Shakespeare, the Dorelle Trio, Captain Art Hook lecturing on Alaska, D. K. Ernst the hypnotist, and other educational programs. Three delegates, led by Treasurer Stuart Warner, attended the State Student Council Convention at Coatesville, Pa., where West View was voted the privilege of sending a representative for the second consecutive year to the national convention to be held the second week in June at Denver, Colorado. This student will be Norman Brenneis. The entire governing body includes the Cabi- net Officers, who were elected in the spring of 1949 by a vote of the entire student body, and one representative chosen from each homeroom. ln case a member is unable to attend the meet- ing, an alternate is sent in his place. All proceedings of the Council are dittoed and distributed to every homeroom for reading and discussion. They are also prominently post- ed on special bulletin boards for all to see. This task was overseen by Secretary Harriet Donop. Because of the smooth functioning of this sys- tem, numerous delegations have visited West View from other schools to study the methods employed. Of particular interest to the visitors has been the election system at West View which screens candidates for cabinet posts after an open primary nomination. Council has given much attention in the past year to problems of the cafeteria, the Hall Patrol, cleanliness about the school, the suc- cessful functioning of Shuffle Shop, and the widest possible publicity for all school activities and honors. Of specal note is the duty of coun- cil to set up and administer an activity point system which awa1'ds recognition to outstand- ing students on Commencement night. This yearls cabinet officers are Activities, Charles Gressangg Shuffle Shop, Charlene Ehrenfriedg Traffic, Hubert Garverg Publicity, Dave Lebog Sanitation, Charles McKaing and the officers previously mentioned.

They have contributed long hours of their free time to achieve a yearbook to be proud of. Our two sponsors, Mr. Herman and Mr. Puchta, and our editor-in-chief, Carol Hefren, have been our leaders in incorporating new ideas into this year's Westvian. One of our first big jobs was to secure patrons to help finance our book. Everyone on the staff was given his share of ads to sell. Bob Murdock, the business manager, then had to tally our sales and keep the money in order. His job was not finished there. At every football game, rain or shine, Bob and his staff sold programs and refreshments. Then when basketball and wrestling season rolled around they again set up th.eir refreshment stand and kept the fans well fed. Heading the photography staff was Rose Ann Kaltenborn. After getting the seniors scheduled for their individual pictures, Rose Ann and her staff lost no time in arranging the activities pictures. Strem's photographer faced many a row of West View students, all saying Cheese , Bill McKenna and his sports staff worked out the sports section of the yearbook. Everyone agrees that they did a super job. Finding out about each senior was Joan Espe's department. The literary staff put on their thinking helmets and tackled the senior write-ups. Thinking up clever quips for everyone did not seem to tax their energy for long. Those on the Activities staff under the leadership of Doris Holliday gathered material about all the clubs and or- ganizations in the schoolg they then spent a good deal of time assembling these write-ups. This staff also had to identify all those minute faces on the activities pictures. They made sure that you wouldn't find your name under some- one else's picture. Dave Lebo and the art staff are responsible for the unique artwork which adds so much to the attractiveness of the year- book. Harriet Donop and her typing staff may have wept over innumerable broken finger- nails, but their accomplishment justifies the sacrifice. All the write-ups, captions, and ac- tivity material had to be typed accurately. When all the staffs had completed their work, the big job came. Everything had to be re- read, corrected, and assembled. A Dummy' of the book was made, and then it was sent to the printer. We had nothing more to do until it was time to distribute the books. Everyone who had worked on the 1950 Westvian agreed that it was an invaluable experience and lots of fun too. 1 THE WE T WI D 905579 gelffem Who was Bob seen out with last night? Who was the lucky miss with Chuck? Who is Janet's steady lately? These questions and many more are answered in the Drool Daze, the gossip column of the West Wind. This and the four other features- Fash with. a Dash, giving all the latest fads and fantasies of clothing, Indian File, strictly the varsity columng Horning ln, the musicians' column, and the inquiring Reporter, where students have a chance to express their views-are found in everybody's favorite paper. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Delp, the school paper was always eagerly awaited by the students. Its editor, Billie Fuellenwarth, was always found ready to give her valuable aid. The policy of the West Wind was to main- tain a paper containing all the up-to-idate events and social happenings. Every member of the staff worked hard and could be seen rushing at the last minute to try to meet that approaching deadline. The junior high students gather their gossip from the West Zephyr, which occupies the last page of the regular West Wind. The readers appreciated the wonderful job that the spon- sor, Miss Cigoi, and the editor, Janet Ford, did on their part of the paper. Everybody enjoys reading all articles in the West Wind, but we'll have to admit that most of West View's intellectuals turn first to the gossip column, Drool Daze. First Row-A. Elwell, P. Harris, C.

Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a high school student. The members are chosen in a school assembly. The old members go through the auditorium and personally inform those who have been chosen for membership. They are initiated in a candle- light ceremony and each member is given a small gold pin. V Members are chosen by a vote of the faculty after careful consideration of every aspect of the student's qualifications. Five per cent of the Junior Class are eligible for membership in the National Honor Society, provided they rank in the upper fourth of their class. How- ever, this year no Juniors were selected because grading difficulties prevented such a selection. The National Honor Society performs no ac- tivities during the year, but to be selected as a member of this organization is a coveted dis- tinction. No other public recognition is given to the students who earnestly and unselfishly give the best they have to make their school one to be proud of. The existence of the National Honor Society awakens keener competition among students, creates a higher intellectual standard in the school, and gives public acclaim to deserving students.

Y-TEE oyfo Gao 3 Zire! The Y-Teen club is, without a doubt, the most popular club in West View this year, leading all others with its astounding member- ship of 176. The president, Helen Williams, and her cabinet: Joan Burnham, Mary Ellen Wescott, Joan Espe, Audrey Anton and Elsie Locher, had their hands full. To raise money for future activities the girls worked hard during the football season. The Christmas season saw the girls helping to hang the greensm at the Y in Pittsburgh and sewing furiously on petite baby dolls for underprivileged children. The teens received a bad New Year's gift when their sponsor, Mrs. Craig, became ill and was unable to return for an indefinite length of time. But they carried on in true Y-Teen spirit. February saw another one of the after-- neon tea dances and a Hit Parade show which demonstrated Y-Teen talent at its best. March brought the girls' minds to spring wardrobes, and the Y-Teen fashion show sponsored by Gimbels helped give them some clever new ideas. April arrived and with it came a formal tea with all mothers invited. The girls all put on their best party manners. May came and the constant whirl from the first to the twenty-fifth began. The Senior Breakfast, which incidentally was lovely, quick- ly was followed by the Mexican Kermise, a really gala event. The annual trip to Cooks Forest ended a perfect year for the club. The Y-Teen Club with all its social and service projects really adds the final touch to West View's many activities.

M. C. A. in 1945 and has grown in four years from 15 members to the enormous number of 220, all of whom are en- thusiastic boys. Each member serves on a com- mittee of his own choosing, which makes it more interesting for him and gives him re- sponsibility. Any boy may become a member regardless of race, color or religion. Although the Hi-Y is widely known for its social and athletic activities, it also has educa- tional lectures, conducted by eminent men of medicine, psychology, reverency, crime stop- page, sex, sportsmanship, and dating manners. The Hi-Y, which is one of the leading or- ganizations in West View, is run by five quali- fied leaders: Wally McCall, president, Bob Watford, vice-president, Norbert Kaylor, sec- retary, Jim Murray, treasurer, and Hub Gar- ver, chaplain. Weekly, different Hi-Y boys direct the de- votions, and on different occasions, the Hi-Y conducts special chapel services. The Hi-Y has a Father and Son Clinic, where the sons and dads talk over their problems with each other and arrive at a conclusion. The West View Hi-Y is proud of gaining rec- ognition as the largest and most active Hi-Y in all of Pennsylvania, and will keep striving to hold the acknowledgment. The complete purpose of the Hi-Y is sum- marized in a few words: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity high standards of Christian character. PEECH CL B AUM! fo 55,9804 LUQKKGVL6! il'L!KlfL6l'LC8 IQQOIQ 8 This year, as in past years, the sponsors of the Speech Club, Miss Morris and Mr. Metz, have coached an alert and hard-working group of West View students in inter-scholastic par- ticipation in public speaking. The field of public speaking has many sub- divisions in which the Speech Club has had, and is receiving, experience. These are dra- matic, humorous, oratorical declamation, origi- nal oration, and extemporaneous. The officers of the Speech Club this year were Charles Jacobs, president, Ann Lyn Beck- er, vice president, and Louise White, secretary- treasurer. Miss Morris coaches the speech de- partment while Mr. Metz is in charge of de- bate. When necessary, Miss Morris often serves as judge. This year the debate team traveled to Pitt, to McKeesport, to Sacred Heart, and to Donora where they debated against other high schools. The members of the Speech Club that wished to, traveled to Monessen for a practice Student Congress, which, in procedure, form, and par- ticipation is identical to our representative Congress at Washington. The seven who dis- tinguished themselves at Monessen-Louise White, Harry Pople, Charles Jacobs, Bill Steph- enson, Bob Engelhard, Bill McKenna, and Don Stephenson-were sent to the big Student Con- gress at Greensburg, Pa. There Charles Jacobs was elected president of the Senate, for which he received a gold gavel. Bill McKenna was chosen the most distinguished speaker. The school collected more points than ever before. First Row--Miss Morris, M. Howe, S. Iensen, L. Hcrrbison, R, Lcxmne-ck, I. Ford, E. Opfermun, H. Colwell, Mr. Metz. Second Row-E. McCcruslc1nd, L.

Again this year West View can be very proud of its National Forensic League. Through the tireless efforts of Miss MO1'1'lS and Mr. Metz, the members of the N. F. L. have made West View stand way out in front of other competing schools in this district. Leading the N. F. L. is Chuck Jacobs, serving as president, who was presented with a gold gavel for being president of the Senate at Stu- dent Congress. Assisting Chuck were the vice president, Ann Lyn Beckerg and Louise White, treasurer. These students have done an ex- cellent job and certainly deserve a lot of credit. Participating in the debate contests were Louise White and Richard Zwetsch on the nega- tive side, with Chuck Jacobs and Mary Ellen Wescott debating on the affirmative side. Har- ry Pople, Bill Wright, Art Tritsch, Tom Dolon, Phil Kossler and Herbert Costello also debated. When West View went to Greensburg, Pearl Maleski, Merle Lobeck, and Bill McKenna all took first place honors. This is the first year for these students in N. F. L., and they have certainly done good work. Bill also received a gold key for being the most distinguished speaker of his house at Senate Congress. In the past, students participating in speech contests have achieved many high honors only by co-operating with their sponsors and work- ing to the best of their ability. This group has continued to enjoy the same success. N r First Row-Mr. Metz, Fred Smcxlstiq, Frcmk Otto. Second RowfNormcm Brenneis, Dave Roy, Owen Moran. Our stage crew, working diligently behind the scenes for all of our plays, programs, and assemblies, deserves much recognition. These boys work long and hard behind the scenes without thought of reward, which makes th.em the fine and unselfish fellows they are. The members of the stage crew this year were Norman Brenneis, Captaing Dave Roy, Bud Cole, Dante Petrocelli, Lee Harrison, Frank Otto, and Fred Smalstig. This year the stage crew was sponsored by Student Council under the supervision of Mr. Metz. The cap- tain of the stage crew, under Student Council rules, is the vice-president of the high school. The fellows on the stage crew should be awarded the Unselfish Medal each year, be- cause they volunteer their services unselfishly and serve faithfully on all tasks. If it were not for these fellows who give their time so willing- ly, no play or assembly could be a success. Think back through the year to the many programs and assemblies on our stage. Ask yourself these questions: Who dimmed the lights? Who drew the curtain? Who set up and took down the scenery? Remember these fellows as the ones who spent many long hours making West View's productions the biggest successes. Remember them the next time you are in the auditorium. HALL PATROL .eelaf 1.15 on like rigdf franc! lf you have ever been pushed, trampled and crushed in a Christmas rush, you know what it was like in the halls of West View before the hall patrol was put into full swing. Christmas shopping is usually worse because men and women seem to forget completely what courtesy is. A hall patrol wouldn't be of much value in de- partment stores, but it surely straightened things out at West View. New students are politely and safely directed to unknown parts of the building. In no time at all-thanks to the very capable hall patrol--students know their way around, and everybody gets to class in the three minutes time allotted to them. One of the biggest assignments handed to any member of the hall patrol was a post in the cafeteria. Just to be on hall patrol duty at lunch time proved to be very risky with ap- proximately three hundred hungry students all scurrying in the same direction. This very excellent hall patrol kept many from being trampled in the lunch line rush. They also kept the students from roaming the halls disturbing classes after they were finished eating. The hall patrol also had the task of getting students into the auditorium on time for as- semblies. They helped to get students to their seats more quickly so as to allow full time for the well-planned assemblies. This year's hall patrol was very expertly led by Hub Garver, Secretary of Traffic.

These girls worked hard during the summer, making up new cheers to add to the many old ones. They also practiced through the entire school year, and could be seen and heard at all the games and pep rallies. Miss Aiken, the sponsor of the cheerleaders, worked with the girls through the entire year. Mary Elms, the manager, took care of the at- tendance records and many other things. How- ever, much of the ambition and interest is due to the efforts of the head cheerleader, Audrey Vaughan. ZW uicforg Five new girls joined the remainder of last year's squad-Audrey Vaughan, Lucille Seethaler, Billie Fuellenwarth, Ginny Reubene, Betty Ramsey, Shirley Shubert, and Marjorie Branney. They were Ann Lyn Becker, Charlene Ehrenfried, Patty Spatz, Marie Strupek, and Marjorie Wurdack. All of these girls worked together, helping each other and practicing faithfully. Our school, as well as the boys on the team, was especially proud to have such peppy and pretty girls cheering for the teams and leading them on to a victorious year, which could not have been accomplished without these vivacious cheerleaders behind them. All of West View can be proud of their hard- working cheerleaders this year. Thanks for a job well done!

This building of school spirit is mainly due to Sigma Phi Sigma, the high school pep club, and its staff of capable officers and sponsors. The Sigma Phi Sigma has many jobs, but the main goals are to build school spirit and to keep up the morale of our various teams. For every home football game they planned a clever pep rally. The decoration committee decorated the auditorium. Red and yellow car- nations were sold to wear to the games. After the Hampton game the Sigma Phi Sigma spon- sored a Victory Dance in the gym. They also took tickets at all football and basketball games. The art section garnished the halls with color- ful posters and winning slogans to spur our teams to victory. The goal posts were decorated for every home game. Much of the credit for all this splendid work is due to the club's capable president, Ann Lyn Becker. lt was through her untiring efforts that we have obtained our goal. She was ably assisted by Helen Williams, vice presidentg Margie Wurdack, treasurerg and Charlene Ehrenfried, secretary. Mr. Martorelli, the club's sponsor, contributed his utmost to make Sigma Phi Sigma the best ever. We at West View are proud of our teams and proud of our fine school spirit. Sigma Phi Sigma deserves a pat on the back for showing such a fine example of pep and spiritf They've really helped to put West View on the top.

M t RADIO CL B Ar0ar!cvwf5 Ar Afafion WVHS We admit that radio is becoming out-moded by the development of television, but West View's up-to-date Radio Club has solved that problem. They have included television in their program. There are no girls in the club, so the boys thoughts are never diverted. The boys in this club can take radios apart and put them to- gether again like experts. Usually pretty quiet, most of the members could talk for hours on this special subject. During club sessions the boys use regular radio scripts, and the entire meeting goes off like a radio program-ab though not quite as smoothly. The club got off to a slow start, but its presi- dent, Bob Lange, soon had things under control, and the radio club finished off the year in high style. The cabinet consisted of: Bob Lange, presidentg Bob Murdock, vice presidentg and George Newell, secretary-treasurer. The members of the Radio Club planned several field trips to transmitters and studios in and around the city. A radio studio with all of the trimmings is planned for the music room. The job of building this radio studio is left to the members of the Radio Club. They have the plans and blueprints, which were drawn up last year, and are making improvements on them. Through the teachings of Mrs. Gibson, their sponsor, the members learn more about radio every year. First How-ffl. Walls, M. E. Bundle, S. Blockslone, M. Smith, H. Iones, R. Gruber, R.

GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIO 86'Ll lfL5 euergfiting Auf wredfgng This cheery group of girls make up our sports lovers of the well-known G. A. A. They have worked hard to learn the rules of many different sports under the leadership of Miss Aiken, their sponsor. Basketball and volleyball are on top of the girls' list of favorite sports. The senior girls and the women faculty members played a very interesting basketball game at the Benefit Game, November 29, 1949. Don't worry girls, maybe the faculty did Win, but wait till the class of 1951 comes along and makes their score. I don't believe the faculty will be overjoyed then. Every member who accumulates fifty points will receive a G. A. A. letter. You can obtain these points by attending practice and by being on the winning team. We girls surely do knock ourselves out to get on that winning team. The high school gym was reserved after school every Tuesday and Thursday by the G. A. A. The junior high G. A. A. plays the same games as the senior high, G. A. A., but they have their own separate meeting. Everyone who signed up for the Girls Ath- letic Association was accepted as a member, because the girls at West View High School do not have the Wonderful opportunities that the boys do in the athletic field. They are pro- hibited from participating in inter-scholastic athletics because they are too strenuous for girls. This is one association where girls can ob- tain sportsmanship, good health, loyalty, and respect for one another. LIBRARY CL B Andi VLQUQF' 0l l 0lfl!5 Miss Rea, the school librarian, sponsors the Library Club which consists of girls from sen- ior high school. Their job is to keep the books in good condition, check the books in and out for the students, look up references for special projects, and file magazines for reference. These student librarians also have the job of planning and arranging the bulletin boards each week. They arrange book covers according to a current event in the school, such as a sport, a season, a holiday, or a subject of contem- porary interest. The presiding officers were Gayle Phillips, president, and Norma Hartman, treasurer. They work hard to keep the club posted on events, to assign work to its members, and to keep everything running smoothly. A big event planned by the club is the deco- rating of the library for the Christmas holidays. A pine tree becomes the focal point of many students for a week, while the bulletin boards, the doorways, and the walls are bedecked with holly, evergreen and mistletoe, and the windows portray typical holiday scenes. In the spring the club has an annual banquet for the whole membership, which numbers about sixty. The girls do their best to keep the library and the numerous shelves of books in good order and deserve to be highly commended for their effort. First Row-Miss Rea, I. Kriberney, P. Hopi, C.

A. is open to all girls who are interested in working together for a better and happier home life for all. The F. H. A. members believe that making happy homes now and in the future is the most important thing that youth can do for democracy. The F. H. A. not only participates in home activities, but also is active in local, state, and national activities. Each year a group of representatives is sent to the State Farm Show in Harrisburg. There they participate in contests with other F. H. A. members throughout the state. Another state activity which the F. H. A. participates in is the annual state convention at which the state officers are elected. On a national basis, delegates are sent to the national convention which is held during the summer months. Here F. H. A. members from all over the United States get together to elect officers and try to improve their organization. Locally the F. H. A. helps the veterans' by cov- ering match boxes and making favors for the different holidays. The F. H. A. is facing the future with the high hopes of making the future homes of America better places in which to live. First Howfflflr. Hebecker, H. Repine, A. Koerbel, A. Elwell, I. Bovill, E. Bovill, R.

THE ORCHESTRA Pfdyif M5 way info our A86Ll lL5 This year, under the capable direction of Mr. Hebecker, the West View High School or- chestra has grown and prospered. The orchestra prides itself with arrange- ments of popular, classical, and jazz music which they play for public appearances. These students have played many times dur- ing the year for important school social events. They help us to enjoy intermissions between the acts of the school class plays. The lilting melodies certainly did their share to make these events successful. These instrumentalists have studied diligent- ly and must be equally skilled in popular and classical music, or in other words, from be- bop to Beethoven. This year the orchestra has a subdivision 66 at Samuel Hamilton Junior High. Mr. Caruso is training these young instrumentalists in the moods and methods of versatile musicians. The orchestra Works hand in hand with Miss Conner and the vocal department to promote the ever-growing interest in the fine art of music. These young people send soloists and small groups of students to participate in con- tests and to exchange assemblies. The members of this fine orchestra can Well be proud of their accomplishments this year. Their music proves how hard they have Work- ed to make this a Worthwhile organization. Our congratulations and thanks to Mr. Hebecker and his musicians for the wonderful work they have put forth toward the accom- plishments of the West View Orchestra. The Beaux Art Club was organized early this year. It was a very talented group which kept going at full speed the whole year through. With Mrs. Cook's help the art club is fast be- coming one of the most popular organizations of the school. Anyone especially interested in irt has the opportunity to become a member. The purpose of the art club is to promote fin interest in art and give recognition to those artists who deserve it. These future Rembrandts chose to meet once a week in the High School Studio. They start- ed out their work by painting still life. Through the year they did water coloring, tried out various mediums, and accomplished many other interesting things in the field of art. Some members were responsible for many painted and printed posters that publicized all big events. They have a large number of beau- tiful Christmas decorations. Hidden talents of many students were discovered through these posters. The name Joe Steirheim was attached to several of them. Secretary of Publicity, Dave Lebo, also added a lot of advertising post- ers around school. The main project of the club this year has been the acquisition of a number of framed paintings for a lending library of art. The art club president this year was Howard Kappel, who did a wonderful job. The othei mf- ficers were Mimi Snyder, vice presidentg Nancy Leake, secretaryg and Bob Gille, treasurer. The art club certainly added color and life to the school during the past year. First RoWgW. Miller, l. Nczuqhlon, D. Batista, S. Wicks, R. Will, B. G lle, Mrs. Cook, C. Bcirnhcxrt, G. Scammers.

It is composed of seventy of the best voices from the Mixed Chorus and, like the Mixed Chorus, is under the capable leadership of Miss Conner. The Chapel Choir had no special practice time. Their only practice was Thursday and Friday mornings with the Mixed Chorus. F01 this reason the members had to be exceptional- ly good sight readers and had to be able to learn music quickly. The very able accompanist for this group, as well as for the Mixed Chorus and various other musical groups, was Barbara DeOtto. Her serv- ices were greatly appreciated. From the Chapel Choir came the Mixed En- semble, the Girls Ensemble, the Boys Quartet and the Girls Trio. The Boys Quartet was com- posed of Gerard Richey, Stuart Warner, Bob Stoyer, and Chuck Gressang. The Girls Trio was composed of Joanne Pople, Ruth llorni and Janet llowley. These groups, singing at both school and outside activities, supplied much enjoyable entertainment for all. The main duty of the Chapel Choir was to sing before assemblies. They received many compliments on their sing'ing from visitors in our school. Without their singing an assembly would not have been complete. We greatly appreciate the fine work of Miss Conner and the Chapel Choir. Firsl Row-D, Grieser, S. Young, M, Kiqhl, H. Peters, H. Willioms, A. Surver, Y. Young, l. Tinnerneyer, E, DeOtto, L.

THE CHOR our mf e ancffby Any Thursday or Friday morning the strains of sweet music can be heard filling the corridors of West View High School. This music origi- nates in the auditorium. It is the West View High School Chorus enjoying their weekly practice. The chorus, under the capable leadership of Miss Conner, has won the State Championship in the Class A group. They p1'esent many pro- grams during the school year. At Christmas time the chorus presented its annual Christ- mas cantata, Childe Jesus, which seems to grow in beauty and meaning each year that it is presented. The chorus also had the honor of being chosen to represent this district in the Chorus Clinic. The most important event of the year for the chorus is the State contest in which they participate. Last year the chorus took a memor- able trip to Pottstown for the state contest. lt was enjoyable not only because the chorus took the state championship, but also because of the wonderful experience and good times had by all the chorus members. With hard work and co-operation from every member, Miss Conner has built a fine chorus, one which every member is proud to say he belongs to. West View is also extremely proud of its chorus and takes great pride in the fact that they have been chosen to sing at many important events throughout the Pittsburgh district. The chorus has brought honor to West View mostly through the untiring efforts and the patience of Miss Conner. The graduating sen- iors can always look back to the chorus with pride in its achievements and glowing memories of good times. First RowffM. Scholl, S. Beall, M. Archer, D. Grleser, S. Young, M.

BAND and MAJURETTES fried? fufirim ana! madlfer moL5ician5 What is it that has always made the band an organization of which everyone is proud? Is it because of the superb direction of Mr. Caruso, the fine leadership of the head major and majorettes, or the cleverness and the original- ity of the routines? Well, it is due to all these reasons, combined with the high spirit exercised by each band member. During a week in the summer the band prac- ticed under the hot August sun, preparing for the fast approaching football games. lt soon became like a large happy family, and the satis- faction everyone received, because of his hard work, was worth every hardship. Our head majorette, Carolyn Rodgers, show- ed great skill in leading the band. She will be listed with the best of West View's high-step- pers. Behind Carolyn pranced Joan Espe and Doris Ford, also spinning their chrome top batons. Immediately following the top three came the line with precision marching and sparkling smiles. Following the line came the head major, Dick Sorenson, who marched and gave commands with majestic skill. Then came the music-creators themselves, marching to the rhythm of a snappy march. Although the sub- majorettes seldom marched at half-time, their marching and twirling ability at pre-game was praised by the crowd. Throughout the football season the band displayed some of the finest routines West View had ever seen. On the days of January 26, 27, and 28, Mr. Caruso and West View were hosts to a festival of bands . James Donlop of the famous Blue Band of Penn State College was guest con- ductor. Over one hundred and fifty students participated in this festival. It was composed of the finest musicians from sixty-five schools. Everyone who heard the band agreed that it was the most entertaining band music ever pre- sented. The complete band rehearsed during school hours, and the music flowed through the halls, but disturbed no one. Another year has passed for the band, but it will continue to grace West View High School with its fascinating routines and heart throbbing fanfares.

Maron? oz Jelfwafionafjecwon On to victory was the cry as West VieW's gridders rolled through a sparkling season. The lndians brought back the best football record that West View has thus far known, and certainly deserve any honor which may come their way. Our captain, and three stripe man, Chuck Goose Gressang, was a star from beginning to end, Chuck filled the quarterback slot until he injured his ankle in the Avonworth game. and wasn't able to see action again until the Sewickley contest. Ray Heintz was the man for those driving charges from the fullback position. Razor's hard driving tactics paid off, for he completed the season with fifty points scored. This feat set him up as high scorer for the year. Lyle Bergman and Don Kibler were our two halfbacks, with Lyle on the right posi- tion and Don on the left. Lyle's spinning car- ried him out of many an impossible jumble to hit pay dirt. Don, a senior and new member of the Braves, was responsible for many of West Viewls scores, both by accurately passing to a waiting receiver, or skirting the ends. Stan Fischer was the tall pass snatcher who appeared on left end. Stan's co-player on right was Big Al Mazur. Al's leaping catches and his all around playing ability won him a place on the All Star Team which appears at Forbes Field in late August. This is quite an honor, and we wish Al the best of luck in the game. Red Cully was in the left guard post, and a bang-up job he did of smashing the opponents. Ken Rall filled the other guard slot and put in a fine season both on defense and offense. Gene Miller was the expert on opening up the line and driving through to make the tackle. Dave Boffo, playing at left tackle, made many a sizeable hole big enough to drive a truck through. Dependable Dave Roy, our center, was faultless on his return of the ball to the backs. Bill Fischer and Jeff Leake, both juniors, proved to be capable defensive ends. Any line was duck soup to husky Harold Pomeroy as he charged into the opposition. Bill Dosey and Chuck McKain were poison to any fellow who trespassed in their territory. Carl Barnhart, a junior, was the smallest fellow on the squad, but definitely one of the most talented gridders. Norb Kaylor also did a fine job on alternating at center. Other fellows who merit mention are: end, Thane Amanng guards, Wally Weber, Fred Smalstig, Bob Gille, and Marty Loscar. The tackles were Chuck Marien, Ernie Reif, Clyde A-v ,MA , 1.

The first of West View's after dark contests was at distant Kittanning. Highlighted by Kib- ler's 95 yard return of an intercepted pass, the Braves chalked up a 19-0 victory. Next on the schedule was last year's Ohio Valley Conference co-champion, Avonworth. The Indians revenge was complete with a 19-0 victory, but the evening was marred by Chuck Gressang's injury. Beaver, a new opponent, was unable to hold down Big Al Mazur, and West View was a 6-0 winner. The following week our challenger was strong Allegheny, a city league contender. The Indians, however, didn't scare easily, and pro- ceeded to outplay their visitors and hand them a 19-6 pasting. Meeting our traditional rival, Bellevue, on their home grounds proved to be a stumbling block for the Braves. Although West View got an early lead, Bellevue rallied in the third quar- ter and won a 12-7 upset. Not yet recovered from Bellevue's stunning defeat, the Indians dropped a hard fought game to the North Trojans. The final whistle found North holding a 7-2 lead. The opportunity to get in the winning groove knocked as Shaler, last year's only conqueror, bowed under the lights to the Viewers 23-13. Sewickley's highly touted Indians were host to the Braves, but the results were again the same as West View triumphed, 19-6. Through a drizzly snow, the Viewers and the gridders from Hampton played their heart out in the season finale. Capitalizing on a high scoring second quarter, the Indians completed the season with a 32-19 victory. This year's successful season can be credited to the fine sportsmanship and spirit which the whole team possessed. Only through the efforts of all concerned can such a Wonderful record be put together. L 'ls 13 ', , f a' X B, 2' sf 'Qs if Q-ML. f , with f X X 'fu Vgrftillif : ' f1g,rMw R .,A, ,.

BASKETBALL our ZMLL cfzamfoionjfuyo feam The sports, season moved along in grand style as basketball moved into the spotlight. For the first time in the history of the school, West View was section champion. Our championship team was composed most- ly of junior boys. Only five seniors appeared on the Varsity this season, but all of these fellows did a bang-up job on the floor. Chuck McKain was the capable captain of the 19,19-1950 edition of the court expe1'ts. Although Chuck didn't see regular action throughout the year, he was pulling for the team at all times. Don Kibler, a newcomer to the team, developed into one of its outstanding members. Don scored a total of 321 points dur- ing the season, along with his steady playing on defense. Rebounding was adequately taken care ol' by tall, rangy Stan Fischer. Stan also was a high scorer with his consistent shooting under Kneelingf- Don Kibler, Lnrl Barnhurt, Charles Mclium, Lyle Bcrqnio Standing--Roberi Heil, Al Mciznr, Tom Greqq, Stun Fischer, Williciri l. Fix the basket, and from the corner. Norbert Kay- lor, another junior, also was an asset under the boards, and contributed greatly to the team's success. Bill Dosey and Ed Feffer, two welcome newcomers to West View, played a big part in the winning of many games. Both were excel-A lent playmakers and high point men. Joe Gullo was really a nemesis to the op- position with his long shots. Bob Stoyer was the expert on shots from the left side of the floor. Tom Gregg and Al Mazur, the remaining two seniors, should be commended for their valuable and timely shooting in the clinches. Carl Barnhart, Lyle Bergman, and Jeff Leake, although not regulars, received experi- ence for next year. The Indians got off to a slow start as they received successive setbacks from the Hold tim- ers'l of the faculty, and North Catholic. The n, lee Gallo. 1 Do y, Robert Sioyer, Mr. Nlcirtorelli. o ai. . team's first victory was over the Oliver Bears. Before the closing of the year, the Braves de- feated Hampton twice and then Bellevue in a 63-58 thriller. League competition started with the New Year. The Viewers started off with a bang by setting down Freeport, Coraopolis, Tarentum, Shaler, and Leechburg in order. In between league halves, the Indians took on Avalon and Mt. Lebanon in exhibition games. West View, however, fared much better in league competition, for it suffered two succes- sive defeats. Avalon was a 58-40 victor, while Mt. Lebanon was successful in a 55-47 contest. Freeport again fell before the Viewers, but Tarentum and Shaler quintets pulled a surprise in the next two games. Tarentum was a sur- prise 52-49 winner, while Shaler returned home with a 42-40 victory. Leechburg, last year's section champs, again bowed in the 49-42 ses- sion finale. Their colorful climax to a glorious season was the winning of the sectional championship. It was the first time that West View players have brought this honor to the school. The play-off with Washington was really a terrific game and the attendance of the student body at Pitt Stadium was gratifying to the players. The tension mounted and mounted as the fans shouted and yelled till they could make no oth- er sound. As the fellows and girls left the stadium fin spite of many sore throats and a three point defeatl, they were the proudest group of kids to ever back a team. The starting line-up for this play-off was made up of seniors only: Chuck McKain, Cap- tain, Ed Feffer, Tom Gregg, Al Mazur, and Don Kibler. At the end of the first quarter, Washington High led 17-7, at the half 27-17, and in the third quarter Washington was still riding h.igh at 41-32. ln the final quarter West View made its last rally when Joe Gullo stole the ball and brought the score within one point of a tie. Stan Fischer who had been injured during the third quarter came back to add to the score and finished with 17 points. Bill Dosey though put out on fouls still garnered 12 points. The final score found Washington the winner 49-46. The stadium held the largest crowd ever to see a West View team play. Our boys were excited because of the strange floor and West View's first appearance in a W. P. I. A. L. play-off. Next year should bring a different story when West View repeats as a sectional winner and goes on to win the play-offs. Congratulations are in order for this year's basketball team for their splendid work in cap- turing the section title. Also, for the second successive year, the squad as a whole topped the 1,000 point mark. 5001425 West View Opponents West View . , . . 59 Faculty .... , . . West View .. ..... 36 North Catholic .

UNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL CL glngdf JQCLLTOVL MIL QI R VLQLU COCLC West View's Junior Varsity basketball team again maintained its winning ways this year. The fellows compiled a record of twelve wins in a season of twenty-one contests. Wilson Dietrich, a junior, was the man under the hoop. Because of his high jumping, very few rebounds eluded his grasp. Frank Nardulli was the playmaker of the team. His consistent passing kept interceptions at a minimum. Jay Holliday earned a spot on the starting five be- cause of his steady improvement through the year. Sam Garvin and Denton Daily worked out front with Nardulli. Both were very accurate on their set shots, and were responsible for many of the team's victories with their timely shooting. Other members of the eleven man squad were lloy Williams, Don Rethage, Don Shuker, Larry Stadtfeld, Chuck Haines, and Jim Stroup. The J. V.'s played the preliminary games at the Varsity contests. The crowds that tu1'ned out for the games this year are ample proof of the growing interest in the team. Under Mr. llare's fine coaching, the fellows showed steady improvement. The J. V. has again accomplished its purpose by preparing future Vai'sity stars. A ,,.:, Qi Kneelingf-D. Peiroelli, R, Campbell, D. Uiilfnborg, A. Vidi C.

Candidates from the ninth through the twelfth grades met with Coach lvor Smith at the Highland school gym. The mats were rolled out, and practice routine began. During the weeks that followed, the team daily went through their rigorous train- ing which included running, calisthenics, and jumping rope to improve timing. Through all kinds of weather, the fellows ran faithfully both to build up their wind and regulate their weight. Mr. Smith. was on hand at all times to super- vise practice sessions. His advice on various holds was invaluable to the many new boys who reported this year. The coach was aided by his hold-overs from last year's squad. The privilege of actually wrestling in the matches was decided by the process of elimi- nation in tryouts. The winners of the tryouts were the combatants in the matches. With the completion of their preparation, the Viewers began their league meetings. The season got under way with the fellows getting into the swing of things as they played host to the West Allegheny grapplers. The Alle- gheny men fought valiantly, but West View came out far on top by a lopsided score of -14- 16, Following two defeats at the hands of Dor- mont and Shadyside, the mat men again met West Allegheny. The Braves walked away with the match as they held the lead all the way. The final score was 42-14. Mclieesport was the victim of West View's only tie. The two teams finally settled for a 22-22 deadlock. The View- ers played the role of loser in the remaining contests. After the regular season was completed, four members of the team were entered in the W. P. I. A. L. tournament at Waynesburg. The purpose of the tournament is to determine the best wrestler in each weight class. To be elig- ible, a boy must have been victorious in five or more of his regular matches. West View's four entries were Bob Campbell, our freshman 88 lb. wrestler, Al Vidt in the 103 lb. class, Big Buzz Miller at 145, and Clyde Rickard, our capable heavyweight, at 185 lbs. Though all were elimi- nated in the first round, their seasonal record should be recognized. Injuries this year hit an all time low as only one major accident occurred. This was Jim Burke's case of cracked ribs. Though the season was not a complete suc- cess according to the record book, it did a great deal to encourage good, clean sportsman- ship among the team's members. With the re- turning of many underclassmen who participat- ed in this sport, the student body looks forward to a winning combination next year.

Every afternoon the fellows could be seen making the rounds on Highland Country Club, regardless of weather. This year's Indian squad was built around only two hold-overs from last year's team. Dick McCarthy and Don Fisher were the two Veter- ans. Dick qualified for individual honors be- cause of his great work in winning the W. P. I. A. L. individual championship. He also ranked high in state competition.

Blackie was a recruit from Hamilton, and re- placed his brother on the winning five. Bill Thomas was the Valuable sixth man and put forth his best effort whenever called upon. League competition found the Viewers going through their regular schedule without a de- feat, and then through the playoffs to the fin- als. West View's first match was on the home course with Ambridge. The Braves came out on the long end of a 101f2 - 4 1X2 score, and now, with some experience under their belts, wrenre Graham.

Avonworth, Se- Wickley, and Moon Twp. fell before the mighty quintet in two matches each. This completed the regular section games, and playoffs now were prominent on the agenda. Baldwin was West View's semi-final opponent, but lost in an 8 1f2 - 6 1X2 heated match as Dick McCarthy again came through. In the finals West View met Penn at the Butler Country Club. The match was close all the way, but Penn finally triumphed, 81f2 - 6 112. Another championship calibre team deserves the thanks and congratulations of the entire school on a job well done.

EBALL cafofzfwecf me ffecfion fifi The March winds blew and the rains came, but nothing could hold the men of the diamond back. Practice and effort paid off as the Indians walked off with their section title and an over- all record of eight wins and only three losses. With the arrival of spring, Mr. Hartman sent out his call for players. Warm-up sessions were held daily on the hill at Laurel Gardens. Mound duties fell on the shoulders of Bob Anderson, Ray Heintz, and Ed Feffer. Bob and Ray were veterans, but Ed was a newcomer to West View. The speed and stuff that these boys displayed were plenty to set down the opposi- tion in quick order. On the receiving end of the pitches was de- pendable Chuck Gressang. His strong arm held stolen bases to a minimum. Al Mazur held down the initial sack. The double play combi- nation this year consisted of Bob Atkison at second base, and Bill Kuss at shortstop. The in- field was rounded out with Don Beisecker or Al Lunz alternating at third. Dave Roy, Ron Schomburger, and Ed Fuller- ton made up our hard hitting outfield. When any of these boys sent the sphere flying, it traveled the distance. Their consistent hitting, along with their practically flawless defensive work, was the difference between winning and losing. The squad's two regular season defeats were recorded by Shaler and Neville, two former victims of the Indians. In the W. P. I. A. Lk. playoffs West View was eliminated in the first round by Robinson Township in a 9-7 contest. The baseball teams should be commended for their fine work in the 1949 season, and all wish them the best of luck in future years. :af 4 ' 00 00 AQJZXON W we Q 0 A m m BBQ 'fw-7:':,s7?79 ' il ei cl ll IV!! xN'z Qx5x'NN QQD ,ld-'I1.v,fMk 0 5 First Row-D.

UNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL nfmre Jfam of! fAe griJLr01fL The Varsity football squad didn't completely monopolize the sports world this year. The J. V.'s put in their bid for school recognition as they completed a very successful season. Coached by Mr. Hare and Mr. Harper, the team finished the year with the three won, two lost record. J. V. players went through the same rugged training and drilling as the Varsity. Every afternoon the fellows walked to the practice field and worked out with the Viewer's senior team. Allegheny was the team,s first opponent. Although the boys put up a game fight, the city team came through with a 19-0 vitory. West View again traveled away, this time to Oliver to meet the Bear's third string Var- sity. Frank Nardulli broke into the scoring column twice in the contest. Don Short and Kirk Mitchell each tallied, and the Indians re- turned home with a 25-7 victory. The following week the Braves faced the North Catholic eleven. Captain Don Short was the lone West View scorer as the Trojans won the game, 14-6. The Viewers played host to Shaler J. V. in an afternoon tilt. Denton Daily scored a six pointer, followed by two of Nardulli's, the lat- ter on a pass from Royston. The final score was 18-6. Shadyside was the gridiron opponent as the season drew to a close. West View romped away with a 19-13 victory. This year the future Varsity not only gath- ered a great deal of experience but put togeth- er a very commendable seasonal record.

A tense crowd flocked into West View High School flower- bedecked auditorium to view its eleventh an- nual May Day. The Court Dancers and their escorts passed in splendor through the audi- torium and onto the stage. Then followed the Queen's four attendants-Mimi Archer, Doris Ford, Rose Marie Keyser and Arlene Schiller- who took their places upon the Royal Platform. The moment for which everyone had been waiting was drawing near. As the doors slowly opened Charlene Ehrenfried and Carol Hefren, the Maid-of-Honor and Lady-in-Waiting, ap- peared in the doorway. All eyes were upon them as they came down the aisle and took their places on either side of the Queen's Throne. The time had come. at last. The doors opened and out stepped'Lucille Seethaler, our Queen of the May, who ascended her throne where she was crowned by Joan Walton, the retiring Queen. After the gala entertainment for the Queen was over, we drifted from the auditorium very satisfied with the Queen of our choice. We, the class of 1950, bow to our Queen.

Al Mazur Mary Jane Madden Joan Burnham The 1880's-Grover Cleveland was president, women wore bustles, and Life With Father could be trying at times. At 420 Madison Ave- nue, New York City, stood the house Where Father, a stubborn, hot-tempered red head, was the indisputable head of the family. Prevent- ing, or at least smoothing over the latest crises in the Day household was Mother's job. With four red-headed sons, assorted relatives, maids, and visiting clergymen, this was not always an easy job for a sweet, slightly giddy person like Vinnie. A major crisis a1'ises when she dis- covers Father doesn't remember if he was baptized and furthermore refuses to be bap- tized again. lf Father isn't baptized, reasons Mother, perhaps we are not even married! Cousins from the country complicate things a bit, and breaking in a new maid is nerve- vvracking too, but Mother comes through with flying colors. We were honored to have Miss Delp direct the play and make it a success. Angie .. , 7 Margaret .. Lorraine ......, Kitty rrrrrr,,.......r Mrs. Morrow Mr. Morrow Jack ,,rrrrr,r,..,..,.

The house lights dimmed, the last strains of the orchestra died away, and the class of '50 proudly presented Seventeenth Summer, on March 29 and 31. It was a zestful three-act play and displayed the talents of the senior class before a capacity crowd which filled the audi- torium. The senior class was honored to have Mr. Craig aid them in producing their play. The play takes place in the Morrow home in a Mid-Western town. Angie is a charming, sensitive girl of seventeen, just on the threshold of growing up. Mrs. Morrow, Angie's mother, is a woman in her late forties with a genuinely sweet, agreeable manner. Mr. Morrow is a good-looking man in his late forties, and al- though he grumbles a good deal, underneath he is kindly and lovable. Angie also has three sisters-Margaret, an attractive, poised girl of about twenty-one, is sincere and natural, Lorraine, a pretty girl of about nineteen, who lacks sincerity and an air of happinessg and Kitty, an impish girl of ten, who is fun-loving and likeable. Jack, Angie's boy friend, is a tall, good-looking boy of about eighteen. As the curtain fell on the final scene, the seniors realized that their last high school play had been a huge success.

So we decided to be very clever and outsmart the witches by hold- ing our Junior Prom on Friday the thirteenth of May. We were able to secure the Crystal Ballroom of the Schenley Hotel and Lee Kel- ton agreed to supply us with the best in music. Everything was perfect. Then we discovered the f'Pirates had scheduled a home game with the Cardinals for the same night. With the Schenley and Forbes Field about a block apart, we had quite a parking problem on our hands. We were beginning to believe in superstitious ourselves. Then the gods turned against us too. The days preceeding the prom were filled with a continual downpour of 1'ain and the girls had visions of wading for blocks in their beautiful, drenched evening gowns. But it seems luck was with us, for Friday the thirteenth dawned bright and clear and we all looked forward to a perfect evening. lt's hard to tell where the cars parked but fortunately everyone got to the prom. It was a very romantic night with full moon and starry sky bewitching everything it touch- ed. Dazzling couples alighted from their cars and anxiously entered the hotel. After greeting the reception committee, the couples glided into the elegant Crystal Ballroom to dance to the mellow music of Lee Kelton and his orchestra. After floating dreamily around the dance floor some couples wandered out to the airy veranda for a taste of that fresh summer air, while others headed for the refreshment bar and a moment's rest. But as one o'clock drew near, weary couples drifted from the Schenley, filled with visions of a perfect prom. No one did more for West View than Dave Roy. Being elected pres- ident of Student Council didn't slow Dave down at all. He gave his all to several sports, Chor- us and various clubs. A day never passed that Ann Lynn Becker wasn't busy doing some- thing in an activity for West View. Becky was always seen as a leader in every school activity. High scholastic ability, outstanding qualities in leadership, and admir- able character were re- sponsible for Barbara DeOtto's achieving the recognition of the girl most likely to succeed in the 1950 class. Stuart Warner out- ranked the rest oi the boys in those same qualities. It's a known tact that Stew will achieve a high goal in any phase oi liie. I-lere's to you! DID MOST FOR WEST VIEW MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED G o o s e ' s varsity sweater, interest in school activities, and the time he devoted to West View distinguished hifi as the most typical boy. Charles Gressang's name was the one head- ing the voter's list. The most typical girl in West View? Charlene Ehrenlried, of course. Chars was always seen typically dressed rushing to a club meet' ing, Cheerleading prac- tice, or to one ol her Student Council com- mittee meetings. MOST TYPICAL MOST ATHLETIC There was no indeci- sion when time came to choose the most athletic girl either. Mariorie Grupp was a natural choice because oi her well-known ability and interest in sports. Come on. Kibler, was a shout often heard at the basketball, base- ball and iootball games. Don was chosen most athletic because he could always be de- pended upon to come through in a tight spot. Music, Music, Music! What's so interesting?
