Several memhers ot this year's class have atreacty gone to the army or navy anct many ot' this years graduates wilt soon Find themselves in the service ot their country. Vve wish them tuck. We 'hope that every member of the ctass of 1945 attains his ambition in life. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President -------- JACK LAMBERT Vice-President - - DAVID VILLERS Secretary-Treasurer - BETTY PEPPER Page Sixteen SENIORS DON NEWBROUGH: Don is one whose jukefbox listening is usually connned to Till Then, as the Mills Brothers chant it. One who prefers to read during the long winter evenings, the book could easily be on aeronautics, since he's all up in the air. Maple Leaves last year, Choral Club and KL?UB are his activities. PATTY LOLOS: This brightfeyed Senior adores Van Johnson, blue and basketball. In her estimation the world could do with a few more men, Patty is graduating a year ahead of schedule, She is a member of Maple Leaves, Twirlers, Girl's Athletic, Bridge Club, and TrifHi-Y. JEAN BLAIR: Thespians, Arts and Crafts. Jean loves horse races and American history. Her pet hate is pumps and ankle sox and she's ' definitely a smoothie. This brainy senior doesn't have much to say on the subject of men but she thinks women are too catty. JACK LAMBERT: Jack's favorite color is blue-could Betty Grable's eyes influence that decision? His activities are Camera Club '43, Maple Leaves '43, Masque and Gavel '43, '44, '45, Thespians '44, '45', Stage Crew '43, '44, '47, Student Government '45, and National Honor Society '44, '47, FRANCIS RUGGIERO: Sailing, deepfsea fishing, and flying are fascinating, according to Rick. Also the rhumba, especially Siboney, as done by Cugat, is definitely bueno. Industrious he-his pastime is studying. Boy's Athletics, Spelling, KLYUB, Boxing and Wrestling. BETTIE PRICKETT: Bettie has not found that only man in the world yet, and lays the blame to existing conditions, vizg the toofmanyf womenfnot-enoughfmanpower calamity. Jitterbugging and Van Johnson are wunnerful, also. Girls Athletics, and Spelling. PAULINE WYER: Pauline takes quite an interest in Band. In her spare time she swoons over Tommy Dorsey, and grieves over the man shortage. Her activities are TrifI'IifY, Girl Reserves, and Junior Red Cross. JAMES CINALLI: This dashing young hombre has given our athletics a big boost by his outstanding ability and clear thinking on both the basketball court and football field, Although he excels in all sports his favorite is baseball. His favorite subject is Mechanical Drawing. JANET LEE ASH: Janet Lee thinks that Sammy Kaye playing Stardust is Heaven, She paints during her spare time f'???j except when she's loahng at Sixth Street. Men are just plain queer, sez Janet Lee, but she has no desire to be a spinster. Her activities include Arts and Crafts, Spelling, Student Government, Junior Red Cross, and Hi-Life. LENORA DELLIGATTI: Lenorie dennitely doesn't like loud females or independent men. Her favorite subject is journalism. She loves to play the piano and sing, but can't afford the risk-we hear. Sports have a special part in her heart. She is a member of TrifHi-Y, Student Government, Twirlers, Bridge Club, and HifLife, ANITA TIANO: Anita is the progressive kind because she spends her time reading. Sometimes it happens to be Commercial Law which is her favorite subject. Harry James' version of I'll Walk Alone really hits the spot with Anita, She adores swimming and has belonged to the Girl's Athletic Club for three years, JEAN GEREAU: Jean adores blue and Frank Sinatra. Ride 'em Cowboy, here comes Tim Holt, her favorite actor! fCan you imaginej What's GOOD about men, she asks? Bing Crosby just doesn't rate with Jean. fBut he has horsesj. She was a member of Tri-HifY, and Camera Club Of 1943f44. I 1 l i Page Seventeen I 2 i Page Eighteen SENIORS GEORGE ASH: George prefers the cacophony of the Korn Kobblers to all the swingeroos. His pet hate is the teaching profession. George is Student Body President, and spangles his record with membership in Maple Leaves, '44 Masque and Gavel, Boy's Athletics, National Honor Society, Student Government, Military Club and the Band. MARY LOUISE HEFFNER DOWNEY: All songs hold memories for Mary Louise. A jitterbuggin' fan extreme, she is most syncopated when the scintillating rhythms of Woody Herman are the subject and violent action the object. As for dream menfRex. Need we say more, Girls Athletics, Maple Leaves, Physical Science, Student Government, Twirlers, and Junior Red Cross. BEVERLY BARRETT: Bev swoons when Fred Waring plays Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. We've heard that her dream man is Van Johnson, but she won't commit herself. She's a pretty slick chick at bowling and swimming and also likes dancing, Choral Cluband Masque and Gavel. WILLIAM DOWNEY: Bill says he hasn't any pastime. He just works all the time. Aviation and math appear to be one of his main interests but he doesn't mention the others. Masque and Gavel, Spelling, and KL?UB are his activities. JOHN HOPKINS: John is better known as Lefty. He goes for golf and American History in a big way. If everything goes right, Lefty has hopes of not being a bachelor. He has contributed to Maple Leaves in '43, HifLife '43, Student Government, Printing and HifY. GEORGIA LU ELLEN CAIN: We wonder if Peaches will become a temperamental artist because she's interested in music and art, particularly painting, No ideas for the future, Georgia would rather say Do You Remember? She has been active in many clubs since her entrance into West High. BETTY POLING: When asked if she would like to be a spinster, Betts said in a strong, clear voice, 'kgive me a man or give me death! Strictly on the beam herself, she hates serious people and all around droops. TrifHifY, and Student Government are her activities. JOHN SAVIO: Any girl with a skirt on can apply for a position as Honest John's dream woman. An active member of Letterman's Club for three years, John likes baseball, basketball and football. When he isn't out fishing you may be able to find him swooning over Betty Grable. NICKIE LUPO: If Nickie is seen wandering around in a daze, the cause is likely to be either Glen Miller, Greer Garson or Gary Cooper. He likes all kinds of sports-fespecially talkingj and As Time Goes By . His club activities are HifY and Military Club. BETTY CASSADY: This luscious hunk of plunder spends all her spare time writing letters to Buddy, her fiance, Frankie is her dream boy, and she is strictly a smoothie. In her Junior year, Betts was a member of the Student Government and Spelling Club, and as a Senior she is in the Spelling Club, and HifLife. WILMA YOUNG: Undoubtedly Wilma is a Republican, You see, her nick' name is Willkie . Her rather unusual pastime is football. Der Bingle crooning I'll Walk Alone sends chills up and down her spine. She is a member of Spelling Club and Girl Reserves. MARY TANO: Mary likes to hear Harry James play his arrangement of Together . But also she would like to see her favorite, Van Johnson and Greer Garson, together. Better than anything else Mary likes to skate. Her favorite type of school drudgery is gym. SENIORS BOB BROWN: This handsome hazelfeyed senior is what most girls a rugged individual. He spends his time in his brightfblue lognng. His activities include Choral Club, HifY, Letterman's Clul ettyf' term car- x and MARY ANN BAILEY: Da dreamin is a ood time waster. L Til Then Y g E as the Mills Bros. toy with it is her favorite platterg Physics fvi she trying to kid?j is her favored subject. Junior Red Cross, Art Crafts, Maple Leaves, Thespians, and Choral Club are her clubs. MARY ALICE HOLTZWORTH: Having to hurry annoys Tippy, prefers the calm manner of the French, as well as their language, own particular fragment of Star Dust is Van 'iThe Man Joh 'Hippy is a diedfinfthefgroove jitter fan, who jumps to Dorsey g ee. JACK FELTZ: Lightning , our football and basketball ace, says w 'ho is s and who Her nson, with olfmg is his favorite pastime. La Veda is his woman and Bruce Baker is his pet hate-wonder why? He thinks the Strip Polka should head the Hit Parade. Boy's Athletic, Boxing and Wrestling, Lettermen's and Twirlers. JUNIOR O'DELL: Junior and Bonnie are one of those inseparable couples who saunter down halls handfinfhand. Their favorite song is Together and it surely fits the bill. Mr. and Mrs. fHarry James and Betty Grablej are two of Junior's favorites. Student Government, Lettermen's and Military Clubs, BONNIE CHIDESTER: Bonnie obviously has Junior on her mind as evidence, her favorite pastime is thinking of Junior and Junior seems to be her dream man, Arts and Crafts, Choral Club and Twirlers are her school activities. BETTY LOU KNAPP: Sleepy doesn't sigh I want a man: instead she said I want a ladd. Alan Ladd to be exact. But a good fast game of football or swimming will satisfy her. Bridge Club, Thespians, Choral Club and TrifHi-Y have kept her busy during her three years at West High. JACK ROBERT WHITEMAN: Jack has his own ideas as to the ITIOSL dangerous place to be-in front of a woman driver. The professor has aspirations of married life but with a pastime like violin playing, we are wondering. He likes history and collects stamps for a hobby. FRANCES PATTERSON: Frances is one of those who look with horror upon the complicated gyrations of iitterbuggers, in the throes of Harry James' trumpeting. Basketball, collecting stamps and drawing occupy her hours and Alan Ladd. her affections. As for actresses, drawling, Katie Hepburn is best of all, Arts and Crafts, TrifH'Y, National Honor Society. LUCILLE JOHNSON: Star Dust is Lu's favorite ballad, Glenn Miller her favorite solid sender. Dancing, collecting pictures of homes, and playing tennis are on her list of occupations. Conceited people get s uelched q pronto, they are her pet hate. HELEN RUTH SMELL: Ronald seems to be this jitterbug's dream ITAHTI, We don't know whether she means Ronald Colman or Ronald Some' bodyfelse, but he seems to be plenty super, 'cause she says Amen are too good to women. This senior has participated in Girl's Athletic Club, Spelling, and Girl Reserves. BETTY JEAN O'DELL: Betty, a junior, is quite a journalist, a memb er of HighfLife and Maple Leaves. In her sophomore year one of her stories was selected for a publication in Telescope a high school magazine.

She has been a member of Arts and -Crafts, Masque and Gavel, Choral Club, National Honor Society, and Junior Red Cross. RUTH ANN STURM: Ruth Ann consumes time by the bucketfull in messing around . Swimming, golf and collecting miniature pitchers are her ways of consuming even more of that draggy time. As for songs, she hums, Miss You . TrifHi-Y, Spelling and Bridge Club. BILL JARRETT: Spelling, Aeronautics '43, '44, Mike , one of our most handsome smoothies, says his hobby is building models. His favorite band is Spike Jones and the City Slickers , and his pastime wofejmen. His chief objection to women is that there are too many of them! JAMES GROSS: Can you imagine anyone's pastime being working? Jimmy's is-so he sez. And his hobby is coin collecting. Plenty is wrong with all women except Betty Grablevein his estimation. His activities include motion picture and Spelling. RUTIA HALL: Rutia's favorite sport is swimming. That tall, blond snub' nosed boy, Van Johnson, is her screen idol. When she isn't keeping her eye on Van, she is either listening to Harry James or typing, or maybe both. Maple Leaves '44, and TrifHifY are her activities. SARA ANN KNIGHT: Carrots, those long yellow things, are Sally's pet hate. On the dance floor Sally is neither a jitterbug nor a smoothie! she says I'm just me . Her activities include Arts and Crafts, Choral Club, and Junior Red Cross. JOE FERRARI: This ambitious cavefman says that men let women have their way too much. The thing which ruins his disposition is walking to school on a cold morning, But if only he could see Jeanne Crain after getting here bet he wouldn't mind so much. BARBARA ANN CRAIG: Barbara has trouble sleeping. But she doesn't mind for Her Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time. Could they be of Van Johnson? She belonged to TrifHifY and Bridge Clubs as a sophomore: Spelling, Tri'HifY, and Bridge as a Senior. MAXINE MURRAY: This oh, so nice, girl doesn't have any pet hates. She's on friendly terms with all the world. Mac tells us that she adores tennis, jitterbugging, and Sonny Tufts iwell, who doesn't?J Her activities include Girl's Athletic and Spelling Club. RALPH STEELE: Ralph hates all women except Hedy fCaz-bahj Lamarr, so girls you haven't a chance! Besides gorgeous Hedy, Ralph likes blue, Cary Grant, and shows.

She hates to try to keep still, like most high school students. Bobbie has two hobbies, One is saving pins. The other is talking to boys. Greer Garson and Dennis Morgan are her cinema idols. Bobbie is one of the few equestriennes of West High. SENIORS MARTHA SWISHER: Marty says that there aren't enough men, but of those she can End she says that Vaughn can put his moccasins in her tepee anytime. Besides trying to learn to swim for the past five years, Martha has been jitrerbugging, bowling, and strangest of all, hunting. RICHARD HARBERT: HifY, Lettermen's. Dick has been one of the mainstays of our football team and will be greatly missed next fall. His hobby is sports, first, last, and always. He has no opinion on women so he must not be interested. BILL ROBY: Bill's pastime is watching the girls, and his hobby is going to to Morgantown-maybe the girls he can watch down there are prettier than our local models. I Dream of You , sings Bill. He plays basketball and dances smoothly and jitteringly. SYLVIA HUTCHINSON: Sylvia is like most of us when she declares that she deplores any eight o'clock class. But she adores dancing, swim' ming, and Robert Walker. Chemistry keeps Sylvia busy. She has been active in Maple Leaves, Masque and Gavel, and Thespians. BETTY JEAN HUNTER: B.

CAROL JO KEISTER: Our dark eyed Latin beauty adores Van Johnson, the color red, and the song Intermezzo . This Cinderella also collects china slippers but there has been no mention of a dream prince. Arts and Crafts and Choral Club arc her activities. VELMA ELIZABETH HERNDON: Movies are Velma's pastime. She likes to watch both Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunn on the screen. When she isn't at the movies, she is dancing to Harry James' orchestra. Velma hates history, but likes algebra, basketball, and blue. JIM BOYD: There aren't many favorites on Jim's list. Football, the game, and brown, the color, are the only ones he will tell us about. We will just have to guess about the others. RAYMOND BORRELL: Slats thinks there's no such thing as a dream woman, and hopes to be a bachelor. fHoping is about as far as he'll get since the man power shortage is getting more acutej. His hobby and pastime is playing a musical instrument. JO ROMINO: Jo is the ardent jitterffan who moans low over the sweet syncopation of Harry James. Writing for Journalism classes, swimming, and Van Johnson supply her purposes in life, It Had To Be You is the one song that sends her into day dreams. Tri-Hi-Y, Girl Reserves, and HifLife. ELINOR DIXON: One of our new students has really made a lot of friends. Smoothie can be applied in her case as she doesn't go in for jitterbugging. John Payne is an O. K. fellow with her-me too!

Hank is the scourge of English teachers, loves football, study hall and White Christmas . Don's a printer and Hi-Y member. LA VEDA STOUT: La Veda has a delightful life ahead. She wants to be an old maid and run a home for bachelors. She frankly thinks men are grand and names favorites to prove it. We might add Tyrone Power. Arts and Crafts, TrifHifY, Spelling, and Girl Reserves. BETTY PEPPER: Betty's favorite subject is math. Well, what do you know, beauty and brains. When she isn't pursuing her pastime, sleep- ing, Betty likes to watch a game of basketball. But from the looks of her, she seems to have had plenty of beauty sleep. Tri-HifY, Band and Maple Leaves '44, are her activities. ROBERT SMITH: Bob is a perfect man. Why? Because he thinks women are perfect. A jitterbug, he likes to jive to the song Rum and Coca Cola. An agreeable fellow he hates nothing and does just any' Qing for a pastime. His activities are Arts and Crafts and the Spelling U . ROBERT TAYLOR: Birch our quiet senior thinks all women are nckle.

Don't fence me in-Peanuts prefers to hunt. CATHERINE KNIGHT: Catherine loves sleeping, consequently hates get' ting up. Cathy finds nothing at all wrong with either the masculine or feminine special. Fred Waring, Sweet and Lovely and Van johnson would be a perfect combination to her. MARY STUTLER: Mary says she has trouble with that old masculine trait of stubbornness. Reading, letter writing, swimming and tripping the high and wide fantastic interest Mary's leisure hours. English, the scourge of all scourges, is debased as her pet hate. Asked about career women vs. wedding bells, the latter won, Girls Athletics and Girl Reserves. LOIS GRAVES: As for people, I enjoy all-both kinds. Which kinds? Why, people with money and people without, as for dancing, any kind will do, as for life in general, let me dream. TONY ALVARO: Tony frankly admits that women are his favorite pastime but he hates cats. He seems to be contradicting himself. A certain person named Florine is his ideal.

SENIORS DALE VAN HORN: Dale likes sports and is a jitterbug, is an ardent Harry james fan.

FOOTBALL SENIORS john Savio: 'iBig John was one of our outstanding tackles this year and his absence will be noticed greatly, especially in the line. He is a three year man, and his football playing can speak for itself. Robert Taylor: Birch is a two year man and was one of our reserve centers, although he didn't see much action this year, Birch was right in there until the Hnal whistle blew. Edwin Brubaker: Ed, our Captain and second team Allfstate tackle is another lad that will be greatly missed. He also is a three year man, but the second game of his second year his leg was broken and he was out of action for the rest of the year. But in his Senior year 'iBru was right in form with the best of them. Richard Harbert: Dick is another fine fellow who will not be back next year. He also is a three year man, but was injured in his Sophomore year and didn't see much action. In his junior year he called signals, and in his Senior year he played everything from lineman to backfield. Louis Piscitelli: Louie is another fellow who devoted his time to football. He is a two year man and during this time his playing proved worthy of itself. His position was End and he held it down to a T , Jack Feltz: jack is what you might call a halffyear man. In his Senior year he came out about the middle of the year and soon proved he could play football. Jack's position is halfback and he played it like a veteran. Page Ninety-five ANNE GLADVVELI.
