It is a heritage of courage, one of love of nation. From those heroic sacrifices the America of today has been built. As Americans, it is our privilege and duty to carry on that heritage that we may pass on to coming gener- ations an even greater and stronger America. We believe in the American way of life. This way, created by a composite of the farm, of the factory, of the school, of the church, and of the home, forms a unity Which no disaster Will shake and no danger can weaken. We believe, theretore, that in this year when those ideals are so gravely challenged, we should strive to portray in these pages the role of the school in pre- serving and perpetuating our democratic life.

Hllllllllllll West High is justly proud ot the spirit ot citizenship developed among its student body. We believe that this spirit ot good citizenship in no small Way is created in the homeroom organization. Here the student is given opportunity to learn by actual practice the principles of American democracy in government under the careful guidance and counsel ot the homeroom teacher. As much as textbooks, lectures, and lessons, a high school education is an orientation to lite problems demanding appropriate traits of character. Leader- ship, executive ability, and dependability are developed through the small group in which every student has a chance to participate. ln this system he remains in the same homeroom throughout his high school career, thereby acquiring a high sense of loyalty to the group. Likewise, in a smaller group, much more opportunity is offered tor the formation ot lasting friendships, which Would not otherwise be possible in as large a student body as ours.

The Co-operative Part-Time Department is completing its seventh year in West High School. There have been more than 350 students who have received sales and office training on an applied cr practical basis. The Co-operative Training Program enables the student to divide time between school and the job, and to concentrate on related subjects. The Number One problem of today is how to earn or living after leaving school. Statistics show that the percentage of unemployed among C. P. T. trainees is consistently lower than that found among graduates who have not had vocational training. A survey shows West High's Co-operative students engaged in various fields - some specializing in one department of sales or office pursuit, and some gaining experience in several branches of training at one time. The students placement in the field is dependent upon abilities and preferences. Fifty-seven employers have cooperated in the program since the beginning of our department. The C. P. T. department sponsors a number of social functions throughout the year. Highlighting them all is the Alumni banquet and 'Service supreme . . . Man to man .......

With the world literally growing smaller, and world problems becoming more acute every day, popular acclaim prompted the organizing of the Contemporary Affairs Club. The purpose of the club was to provide a medium by which students could discuss and analyze current world conditions. Programs of the year featured round tables, speakers, group discussions, and movies. Membership was limited to those who pledged co-operation in meetings and attendance. The constitution, as formulated by Merritt Ludwig, provided for a cabinet in an effort to diversify the leadership and to divide the responsibility for the final acceptance of new members. Iudson Decker, lim Butts, Siegfried Hesse, Sally Birdsall, and lack Carey made up the cabinet.

Only those students join who and Cuffes - - - are interested and who have had chemistry the previous year or who are taking it at the present time. The club activities include hearing industrial speakers on chem- istry, special topics by individual students, laboratory Work and trips to chemical laboratories in Waterloo.

It has as its primary purpose the opportunity for students to meet and study not only the teachings of the Bible, but also its literary beauty.

HI-Y The West Hi-Y Club is a boys' club open to all high school boys Who are interested in and will stand for the high ideals of the club. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform of the club is Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. The club meets regularly on Tuesday evening of each school week at the Y. M. C. A. The meetings are devoted to club business, talks, and discussions of interest to boys. One evening a month is set aside for recreation. lust before school opens in September, a conference of the Hi-Y officers, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., is held at Morris Isle. All Hi-Y officers of the area are invited to attend this three-day conference. While plenty of fun is provided, the delegates also sit in on leadership meetings and plan the year's program for the Hi-Y clubs. About December first, the Northeast Iowa Hi-Y Conference is held. The national conference is held in Iune. The West Hi-Y Club is usually represented at these conferences, and the delegates bring back reports. During the spring vacation the Iowa State Teachers College is host to the clubs of the area. A basketball tournament is featured, which has been won several times by a Hi-Y club. The year's activities are brought to a close late in May when officers for the next year are elected.

S. lHtHltH It is with a sense of glowing pride and satis- faction that we bring down the curtain on the dramatic season of l94l-42. The first act of the season was the sparkling play of youth, Young April, by Aurania Rouverol. A ca- pable cast headed by Iirn Heintz and Esther Shepherd delighted a large audience with a performance that will long be remembered. The second act of the season was a fitting climax of years of study. Abe Lincoln in Illinois, the Pulitzer prize play by Robert Sherwood, was given before two capacity audiences. The authentic settings, costumes, and properties, together with the stellar acting of a large cast, drew words of praise from critics and audience alike. The homely, tol- erant philosophy of Honest Abe, portrayed by Bill Hoag, was extremely timely in a day darkened by the clouds of war. To choose a star of the performance would be impossible, so diligently did each member of the cast work for the success of all. We who witnessed and worked on Abe Lincolrf in Illinois will never forget it. The final and third act of the season was George M. Cohan's play The Tavern, a mystery comedy. An ancient tavern, a thun- der storm, and a cast that felt and caught the mood of the play, alternately thrilled and amused an appreciative audience and fur- nished a suitable conclusior to a successful season. The cast of this play included: The Tavem Keeper's Son .......... ..... I ack Anderson The Hired Girl ........,.... .......... F larah Ienson The Tavern Keeper ....... ....

FOR THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESSH Page 83 Our nation was created by a people for freedom oi thought and action and for the opportunity to work and achieve in their respective fields. Today we are fighting at home and abroad to preserve that American pattern tor living. Health and phy- sical well-being are a continuing and now para- mount national problem. As has so often been true with great problems in a democracy, the American schools have answered the challenge ot national emergency. The second semester oi this school year has seen our Physical Education program in our Senior High School almost tripled to meet the demand tor a healthy and physically-tit youth. A physically-tit nation is our iirst line oi national oi- tensive action. The new program is West High's answer to an all-out ettort asked of all patriotic American institutions in time of crisis. Each boy and girl who is physically able spends one hour of every school day in a Physi- cal Education class. The main emphasis ot the new program has been placed on body building and health. A large portion oi the entire time is devoted to calisthenics and related activities for the purpose oi general body building, suitable to the age and sex ot the particular group.
