Logan To the Class of '45: I have watched with interest and pleasure your ac- complishments during your three years at West High. These have been years of stress and turmoil for all the world. You have responded generously to every call your couutry's need has placed upon you, and yet you have maintained the normal activities of high school life. Our memory of these years will be a happier one because of the way our high school pupils have con- ducted themselves. ,X I, O, The interests of childhood and youth are the interests of mankindf' To the Students of West High School: A school year is brief and presents an ever-changing pattern of interests and events. Classes, contests, pleasure, triumphs, friendships, disappointments-an endless stream which makes up a year of our associations to- gether. As this school year draws to a close, perhaps we cannot grasp its significance in its entirety, but I am sure that as the memories which may 4'pop for you grow deeper and more meaningful with the passing years, you will become aware of its full import upon your lives. The keen edge of memories may be dulled by the years, but their luster is never dimmed and needs only refreshing to he brought back and enjoyed. I trust that this book lnay be an everlasting font wherein you may refresh your memories of a year well spent. Principal Willinnz W.

Whexi you enter high school, you're kind of out on a limb -- lt's as if some one pushed you oil' a dock - You either sink or swim. ,lust when, as a lowly soph, you've taken all you can, They shove you up another 11otcl1 and you're an upper classman. Youive managed to struggle through the sophomore stage inferior. And now you're a junior which is fto the juniorl quite superior. These junior days go by mighty fast - And before you know it-you're a senior at last. Then some one will tell you a fact from which you'll shirk- Even though you're a senior-they still expect you to work. Yes, you have to squirm and even work a little to get through -- But don't give up, little sophomore, some day you'll be a mighty senior, too.

Bob 5lrDz-rmoll The Student Senate is a council of students composed of representatives from the various homeroonxs of the high school. Each senior homeroom has two representatives in the 'K , Senateg each under-class homeroom has one representative.

The homeroom is the basic unit in our school in the training of students in the art of living together in a democracy. Here the students meet in a small group where they have a chance to develop responsibility and other qualities of leadership. It is here, too, that a school spirit is generated. The Student Senate serves, then, as a clearing house for the activities first begun in the homerooms. In this way the organization serves as a train- ing ground for advanced leadership. The organization and the work of thc Senate is modeled on that of the Senate of the United States. Its work is done through STUDENT SENATE OFFICERS Semester II Richard Wagoiier, presidentg Bob Appleby, vice-presidentg Bob Strobridge, secretary 47 committees. Each committee has its counter- part in the homeroom, and through close cooperation the Senate has been able to tie the work and interests of the school closely together. All major student activities of W' est High have been coordinated and developed through the efforts of the Senate. The executive oilicers are elected by popu- lar vote of the entire student body and com- pose the executive committee. Other C0111- mittee members are appointed by this execu- tive committee. The seven standing com- mittees of the Senate are scholarship, citizen- ship, thrift, auditorium, extra-curricular, safety, and social. War Council We are proud of our achievements in the war effort. The War Council was organized at West High at the outbreak of the war with the purpose in mind of promoting and coordinating West High's participation in the war effort. The Council is now in its third year of existence. Its membership is chosen by the Student Senate and is representative of all three classes of the high school. This membership elects its own officers. President for the first semester was Harvey Coontz and for the second semester, J ack Basford. The president of the preceding semester and the president of the Student Senate are members ex officio of the Council. The War Council organizes and promotes special war drives. It cooperates with the thrift committee of the Student Senate in the sale of bonds and stamps each week. A Victory Hop was staged on January 13, and a total of 315175.70 in stamps was purchased. The Council also endeavors to develop a war-consciousness among the students while at the same time it places 'emphasis upon the request handed down from the President and war authorities that high school students re- main in school to secure the greatest possible training for the post-war era. Probably the most noteworthy single ac- complishment for this year has been the preparation and the dedication of West High's gold star flag. This flag hangs in the front hall as an everlasting tribute to the memory of our former students who have given their lives for our country. The desk maintained for registration of service men, together with a bulletin board showing photographs of our service men, has been continued this year. There is always a student in attendance to receive and to welcome returning service men. The Council promoted a paper drive and also participated in the National clothing drive in April.

Beginning the second week of the school year with an appearance at the first home football game, the hand has lcnt its continuous support to the athletic program through appearances at each home football and basketball game and it played for each pep meeting in the entire year s calendar. Other contributions included two band assembly programs, which were well received by the student body, a festival program in which the combined bands of the East and West High schools were presented in an evening concert conducted by Carleton L. Stewart of Mason City, and a day of solo and ensemble work in which every member of the band was required to participate. A concert at the and Mr. Piersol Director Russell Lamson hotel for the Wiaterloo Kiwanis Club, supporting roles in the annual Armistice Day program and in the final play of the year, Smilin' Thru, were other activi- ties in which the band played an important part. Numerous soloists and small groups have contributed throughout the year to the programs of W8t61'lOO,S many clubs and civic organizations, and were also entered in the Iowa State Series of music contests. A small unit chosen from the membership of the band and called the Swing Band has helped on several programs and floor shows, including the Victory Hop, Basketball Jubilee at Cedar Falls, and the Variety Show. The band's activities were brought to a close with their annual appearance at the Commencement Day exercises.

Stacks of typed copy, long columns of galley proof, files of mats, cuts, and exchange papers comprise the working media of the thirty members of 1944-45 Spectator ,editorial staff. The production of the Spectator, a six- page, bi-weekly paper, forms an educational laboratory for the staif and members of the journalism class under the supervision of Miss Ina Marmon. Personnel of the paper wl1o are in the upper one-third of their class and at least of junior standing, and who are superior in journalistic and creative endeavor, are eligible for membership in Quill and Scroll, an inter- national honorary society for high school journalists. For the past two years the Spectator has received the George H. Gallup award for its patriotism and the Quill and Scroll Inter- national Honor Award for distinguished achievement in scholastic journalism. The Spectator is financed through the advertising of business firms who have gen- erously given their support and by student subscriptions through the activity fund. The sixteen members of the business staff solicit the advertising, plan special ads, and transact all necessary bookkeeping, thus receiving first-hand experiences in a business enterprise. The maintenance of the paper's motto, HA better Spectator means a better YVest High School, reflects the paper's three-fold pur- pose-to inform, to influence, and to enter- tain its readers.

Department Here we receive an understanding of the business world. Learning to work with others and preparing themselves for the future are tl1e chief aims of the Co-operative Part Time group of 1945 graduating seniors. In this department, two important fields for which the school trains the student are retail selling and otiice work. Subjects studied by both the sales and office groups are merchandising, English, government, and office practiceg thus those engaged in office work learn to he better consumers while those doing sales work learn the art of buying as well as that of selling. In addition to the technical studies, conduct, courtesy, and other character traits are studied thoroughly. Members of this department are employed in of- fices and in department, variety and grocery stores. Some of the students attend school mornings and work afternoons, while the others attend all day every other week, and alternate with a full week at work. In addition to this very full schedule of work and school, the Cooperative Part-Time students sponsor a number of major entertainments, among which are the Christmas banquet in honor of the students' em- ployers and the Commencement day breakfast. For each of these events, the department edits and pub- lishes the C.P.T. Reporter, featuring news of the department and of former members. By earning their own money and securing an educa- tion at the same time, students in the Cooperative Part Time program acquire a sense of responsibility that is helpful to' them when they are graduated from high school and must earn their own living. With this special education and training, they have a better chance of securing and holding jobs, earning promo- tions, and making a success in the world. Fnon-r Row: Blanche Denniston.

T. in Diver iiied Ucuupation We find that two jobs are harder than one. The Cooperative Part Time course in diversified oc- cupations is now in its second year. Twenty-two boys were enrolled the first semester and twenty-three boys, the second semester. The purpose of this training is to give pupils supervised work experience in skilled occupations under industrial conditions. Most trades and highly skilled occupations in the field of industry are included within the scope of the training program. Students attend regular classes for one-half of the school day and work the other half of the school day in local plants or shops. Many different kinds of skilled occupations are being studied through this first-hand experience: ma- chine shop practice, tool making, printing, pattern- making, auto mechanics, tire rebuilding, body and fender repair, auto parts' stock keeping, drafting, electric wiring, and airplane mechanics. The course is open to upper classmen only. Credit is given for both school work and work experience. The minimum age is sixteen years. The school year of 1944-45 has brought no slackening in the labor shortage. This year, as last, many stu- dents are working and going to school. While good pay has been a strong incentive to work, the desire to do something to aid the war effort has played an important part, especially as week after week new names have been noted on the great service flag in the front hall. One hundred and seventy-two boys and one hun- dred and forty-seven girls are working, including twenty-five boys and twenty-one girls in the C. P. T. programs. Twenty-four boys and twenty-four girls have had their schedules changed to work part of the school day. The kinds of work include machine shop work, clerking, stock room work, office practice, and automobile repairing. The work program is not a part of diversified occupations training as many jobs require little or no training to master them. Pupils take these jobs not because they are interested in them as a life work but to earn money to meet present needs.

Robert Louis Stevenson once said, It is in talk alone that we learn our period and ourselves. In short, the first duty of man is to speakg that is his chief business in this worldg and talk, which is the harmonious speech of two or more, is by far the most accessible of pleasures. lt costs nothing in moneyg it is all profitg it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age. Because students of West High School enjoy speak- ing of all types, the National Forensic League has become an important organization in our school. Of the twenty-two members enrolled, fifteen hold ad- vanced degrees for their outstanding achievements. Those holding the Degree of Honor are Marvin Ebel, Aviva Epstein, Norma Joy George, Ruby Scott, Lovelle Selzer, Charles Sieglaff, and Merle Wratislaw. The Degree of Excellence is held by Diana Denison, Rich- ard Shipley, Darlene Worley, and Miss Lois Lee, chapter sponsor. In order to hold the Degree of Dis- tinction, the highest honor, a member Illllsl earn a minimum ,moi 150 points. Four debaters hold this envied degree: Jim Rasmussen, William Soules, Peter Van Metre, and Bill Webb. Other inter-school activi- ties besides debate sponsored this year by N.F.L. were extemporaneousspeaking, original oratory, after-dinner speaking, interpretative reading, radio speaking, and impromptu speaking. Speech Lovelle Selzer received a superior rating in the read- ing of poetry at Coe College. Others entering the Coe College contst were Marvin Ebel in impromptu speak- ing, Merle Wratislaw in extemporaneous speaking, Richard Shipley in after-dinner speaking, and Marilyn Fulton in radio speaking. Marvin Ebel represented West at the District American Legion Contest at Oskaloosa. His original oration was on the Constitution of the United States. Twelve students from West High went to the state finals of the Iowa High School Forensic League held at Iowa City. This was the largest representation from any of the twenty-two schools present. Marcia Drake received a top rating in interpretative reading. Merle Wratislaw received a third in extemporaneous speaking. Others representing West High were Faye Tucker in original oratoryg Louie Bronson, Marilyn Fulton, and Ruby Scott in radio speakingg and Lovelle Selzer and Beverly Aarons in interpretative reading. Other speech activities for the year included four radio programs over KXEL, which were planned and presented by the speech studentsg the speech assembly at West in Aprilg an hour program at Sloane Wallace Junior High Schoolg demonstration debates and panel discussions were presented before various classes in West .lunior and Senior High schools. A team of three boys, Peter Van Metre, .lim Ras- mussen, and Merle Wratislaw, gave numerous speeches before civic groups to assist in the Community War Chest drive. In November, four girls, Ruby Scott, Darlene Worley, Jean Robin, and Aviva Epstein, pre- pared a program for the Rotary Club. The varsity debaters appeared in March before the Waterloo Credit Corporation. The speech goal of West High School is that every student be able to speak creditably in public. This year has seen long strides taken toward the fulfillment of this goal. More students than ever before have availed themselves of the many opportunities offered. Wfith this interest the goal will surely be reached. STATE SPEECH TEAM Fnonr Row: Lovelle Selzer, Ruby Scott, Darlene Worley, Marcia Drake.

From this number eight were chosen to represent West High at the Decorah High School Invitational Tournament: Peter Van Metre, Bill Webb, ,lim Rasmussen. William Soules, Ruby Scott, Darlene Worley, Richard Shipley, and Merle Wratislaw. Later four more were added to this group to participate in the West Invitational: Marvin Ebel, Lovelle Selzer, Charles Sieglaff, and Aviva Epstein. The varsity squad lost Peter Van Metre at midyear because of graduation. He was replaced by Darlene Worley. During the season West High teams won 72 inter- school debates out of the 94 entered.

Darlene Worley. .lim Rasmussen, Bill Webb Ver e Choir Collectively speaking - Choral reading probably had its beginning as far back in the history of drama as the Greek tragedies and comedies, in which mem- bers of the chorus told the story of the play by means of unison speaking. More recently Great Britain and America have been leaders in promoting interest in the work of the verse choir. Those who enjoy reading aloud but are reluctant to read in public indi- vidually have found choral reading an ex- cellent method of self-improvement. The West High Verse Choir made its first public appearance this year at the two per- formances of the Armistice program. At Christmas the members took part in a beauti- ful program planned for a student assembly. Later when it was felt that VV est High students needed some instruction in the delivery of the pledge of allegiance to the flag, members of the choir went to homerooms to assist in this project and soon after gave a demonstration of the proper method in an assembly. With the West Junior High Verse Choir, a peace reading was studied to be given at a victory assembly. Verse choir members, in addition to unison and individual reading, make a study of types of poetry in an attempt to understand better what they speak and read.

Rather, it has become a center from which all student activi- ties stem, under the direction of a specially-trained full-time coordinator. This teacher acts in the capacity of adviser of the Student Senate and as such synchro- nizes the work of its various committees, not only with each other but also with the corresponding com- mittees of each homeroom. By so doing we have a closely-knit organization, which has resulted in many activities being perfected which never would have been possible under any other plan. Under this plan the president of the Student Senate becomes in reality the president of student activities. In the study hall program the students operate a student-controlled study period. Student chairmen and secretaries are chosen by the Senate and they, under the direction of the study hall teacher, have complete supervisory power. Various special com- mittees, which work for a better study hall, are chosen from time to time for duties pertaining to the period. Among these might be listed the bulletin hoard committee and the Hower and decoration com- mittee. This system has developed a much higher morale and attitude toward the study hall period than was true under the old type. The students of West High School are proud of their study hall. It is a pleasure and privilege to spend their non-class periods there. 7+ S :Q 1 -12535 -2.

The only requirement needed to become a member is a desire to belong to the organization. Smiling faces and gay laughter, together with a business meeting, a planned program, and refresh- ments, are the ingredients which constitute the typical club meeting. The regular meeting of the club is held on the second Thursday of the month. This year, programs have consisted of coke socials, style shows, discus- sions, and group singing. Among the outstanding features of the club are the series of ring cozies, which enables each girl to wear her G. R. ringg and the candlelight service., whereby each new girl is initiated into the club. i The symbol of this organization is a hlue triangle surrounded by a circle-blue was chosen as it has FRIENDSHIP CABINET SEATEDI Elyllfll' Weiiiu PM Kelley.

As the sides of the triangle stand for the three ways in which a girl may grow -- body, mind, and spirit, so the circle around it symbolizes her service in the world around her. As her triangle grows, her world will grow broader and finer. The slogan and purpose, To face life squarely and 'LTO find and give the bestf' together with the symbol, set a goal which each girl strives to attain -- that of becoming a more worthwhile person.

With a keen desire to glean some new bit of labora- tory knowledge, the members of the Chemistry Club met every third Tuesday for an evening of wholesome fellowship and delved more deeply into the wonders of chemistry. Thistle tubes, watch glasses, Bunsen burners, test tubes, bottles of acids, and bases together with a real interest constitute the general atmosphere of the Chemistry Club. Projects of the club this year were varied and ranged from making coffee bottles and colored glass beads to preparing hydrogen, mercury, and oxygen. These projects were successful both from the result of the experience and from the interest with which they were undertaken. Participation in the cluh is not compulsory: the members come because they are interested in the functions of the club and because they are aware of the vital part chemistry is playing in the world of today and of the even more vital part it is destined to play in the world of tomorrow.

Every two weeks members of the French class devote a period to an organization meeting. In these meetings, French songs are sung, French games are played, special reports on France and her customs are given, and other topics pertaining to the study of French are discussed. A newspaper, Lu Petit Journal, is subscribed for and studied during this period. This gives an opportunity for practical ap- plication of the French that has been learned. The objective of this club, as it is with other foreign language clubs, is not only to develop a broader and more comprehensive knowledge of French and of the French people, but also to create a greater interest among the students in increasing their ability in practical French. Some interesting class projects were the reading of a collection of short stories called Si Nous Lisons, and the playing of French records, both speaking records and singing ones. The purpose of this was to give a more accurate idea of the way French is pro- nounced by Frenchmen. The club has made an effort this year to link the formal class study of French with the war and the part France has been playing in it. In addition the club has contributed greatly towards keeping alive an interest in the study of French in West High. OFFICERS Semester I President .......... CAROL MCELROX' Vice president .

The objectives of this club are to develop a closer relationship and an interest among students enrolled in the commercial departmenlg to assist other de- partments, organizations, and teachers, whenever pos- sibleg and to render whatever service it can to the community. The club members have attempted to meet these aims this year in various ways. By working at the hospitals, they have been of great help during this critical war period. The Wa-Ju-Hi, junior high paper, has been typed each month by volunteers of the club. Through the monthly study groups and the regular meetings, the members have formed lasting friendships. Many business people of the community have appeared before the club to discuss problems to be found in commercial work. The advisers are Miss Young, Miss Gray, Miss Gaynor, Mr. Huff, and Miss Knudsen. The officers lor the year are as follows: President, Jeanne Coneg vice-president, Jackie Sandbergg secretary, Beverly Adcock. The membership consists, first, of charter mem- bers-students who have had a year of commercial work or were in the club beforeg secondly, students in the first year of commercial subjects who have an average grade of A at the end of the first six weeks, or any students who have a C average at the close of the first semesterg and, thirdly, those teaching in the commercial department of West High School are known as honorary members.

So here he is in all his glory And thus we end this little story. Strengthened by the return of several injured players, the West gridders took the road to Fort Dodge to tackle a highly-rated Dodger team. Fighting with a new spirit and playing the best ball of the season, the Strobridge men gave way the second half for a 34 to 20 defeat, after leading at the half 14 to 7. Before an enthusiastic homecoming crowd of 3,500, West came through to beat Roosevelt of Des Moines 19 to 14 in an exciting and close game that was not decided until the final whistle. Playing their last home game before the East game, the eleven romped freely over a light hut fast aggregation from Dubuque, 20 to 0. Taking the road once more, this time to Des Moines, a fighting team was outrun by North High with its speedy backfield. Although West scored once, North crossed the double striper four times with the game ending 24 to 7. The following week West found an easy foe in McKinley of Cedar Rapids. The reserves played the entire second half but kept running up the score: the final tabulation was West 39, McKinley 0. In the annual East-West game West was the underdog with hopes for an upset. Although fighting their hearts out the entire game, the Wahawks could not quite pull the game out of the lire, losing 14 to 6. This made a season's record of three wins and six losses. The starting lineup usually consisted of Fox and Barron at the endsg Fay and Donovan at the tacklesg Coontz and Miller at the guardsg Braden at centerg Binek at quarterback, Lohnes or Lange at fullbackg and LaVine and Ziemer, or Appleby and Seger at the halfbacks. Jack Fox received fourth team position on the Des Moines Register's all-state team while Malcolm Barron, Harvey Coontz, and Jim Miller received honorable mention. Coontz was also elected honorary captain for the year. Receiving letters were Fox, Barron, O. Miller, Fay, Donovan, Preece, Hogshead, Coontz, Dillavou, J.

Though starting off the season by dropping an overtime game to little Orange, the Old Rose triumphed in five straight contests before losing to a strong North Des Moines quintet. After the Christmas holidays, the West five repeated this performance by thumping five consecutive foes before falling into a late season slump. By virtue of having more than 401 students in high school, Strohridge's fast breakers were classified as a Class double-A team and skipped the sectional tourney of the state series of tournaments. West High fans were at their peak in spirit when the Old Rose ran over Decorah and Nashua in the opening and semi-final games of the district tourna- ment at the Cedar Falls Teachers College men's gym- nasium. However, in the finals on Saturday night, - a torrid first quarter shoved West out of the running for thc slate crown as XVaverly's Co-Hawks got hot in the initial period and built up a I5-2 lead. Although the Wahawks outscored the Bremer county men the remaining 24 minutes, they were never able to pass that lead. West High finished in a tie with Fort Dodge for fourth place in the Big Seven conference besides winning the city cage title by virtue of two victories over East. Dick fMerU Wagoner captured top position in the Big Seven conference individual scoring tahnla- tion by racking up 141 points in 12 conference tests. By this accomplishment and his great season's play, he was chosen for a forward Spot on the second all- state teams of the Iowa Daily Press Association and Register and Tribune selections. Letters were awarded to Dick Wagoller, Melvin Kuhl, Jack Fox, Roscoe Binek, Lowell Seger. Dick Thompson, Dean LaMaster. ,lim Jones, Worrell Legge, and Dave Seger.

With returning lettermen State Champion Dick Hauser at 118 lbs., State runner-up Lowell Lange at 145 lbs., Leo Thomsen at 129 lbs., Bob Appleby at 135 lbs., and .loe McGrane at 118 lbs. as a basis, the first and only defeat of the season was suffered at the Eagle Grove Invitational Tournament. From then on one team after another, including the most powerful teams in the state, were taken into camp and beaten in nine dual meets. Throughout the season Lange, Hauser, and Bud Novak, who wrestled at 112 lbs., remained undefeated, while Thomsen and Appleby were defeated by only one man. Minus the services of Novak, West captured the Big Seven Tournament at Fort Dodge by a score of 31 to 28 with Hauser, Appleby, and Lange taking firsts and Thomsen and Springer, seconds. Still with Novak's absence, because of illness, a tough battle was encountered in the District Tournament at Osage. While West gathered 36 points, Osage got 35, making an extremely exciting exhibition. Hauser, Thomsen, and Lange all won lirsts while Springer at 95 lbs., Burd at 112 lbs., McGrane at 123 lbs., and Appleby at 135 lbs., qualified for the State by taking seconds. Springer, Hauser, Thomsen, and Lange were the only West men who got through to the finals of the State Tournament. Of these, Hauser and Thomsen won by falls, while Lange won by decision, making three state champions. Appleby came through the consolation to take a second place, while Springer won third in the 95 lb. class to make a total of 23 points for West.
