For many years this traditional little fellow has been standing in the showcase reminding all the Wahawks and visitors of the weekly school events. As West High has come to love him, so he loves West High, and because of this he would like to show you through a typically wonderful year at the Wahawk campground. Won't you join him? First he wants you to meet the backbone and good friends of West High. ln every way pos- sible they guide and train our papooses that they may make a better world in the future. Our Big Chiefs! Students of West High School: As administrators and teachers we 'take great pride in our schools which we con- sider real fortresses of democracy. One of the great advantages of a democracy is that each individual has the opportunity to better himself, and his development is lfmftecl only by his own ambition and ability. By working together for the com- mon good, individuals are able to reach their highest goals. Student activities - scholastic, social, athletic - all give opportunities for students to use their varied 'talents in a constructive way. Many benefits of cooperative activity are intangible, but this yearbook is one of the tangible examples of a group achieve- ment. The editors are to be congratulated on a fine result of their efforts. gable fogcan, Superintendent of Schools SlZUClQYT1ZSZ The work involved in the planning and publication of an annual is always great. This one is no exception l am sure. There- fore, the staff and the class are to be con- gratulated on a job well done. The real worth of a school annual is never realized at the time of its publica- tion, no matter how fine it may be. I know full well it is difficult for you 'to know 'that now, but as the years go loy, it will become more and more precious to you since it will serve as a tangible link in picture and worcl of your days as a student- days which will become increasingly dear to you as you grow older. Best of luck to you always, you have had a wonderful year. I am proud of you. Cifclillicam Qilsoon, Principal Board of Education Top row: William A. Dewees, Dr. R. S. Gerard, J. K. Limberl, E. C.

Papooses have pow- wows for everything. They learn ai some, have fun at all. 34 The Wahawk Looking through an annual is the best way to bring back old memories. That picture in the snap section of the slumber party the potluck held, the fun of sing- ing in mixed chorus, those parties and hangouts of the various clubs, all 'these come rushing back to you as you leaf through the Wahawk. Yes, this is fun but little do the students realize the work that is done for the publication of The annual. Every night and many Saturdays were spent by the staff members pasting, cutting, and writing copy. Not only must cutting be clone, but 'there must be sufficient finances, which this year was a big problem. However, by selling popcorn at basketball games, wrestling meets, and after school, aided by a paper drive the financing problem was solved. With all the headaches and worries that go with the publication of the annual, everyone agrees the day they are given out that the time and effort was very well spent. As you look at it, page by page, we hope it will be one of 'the treasured books of your memory chest.

The business committee has quite u iob, writing, checking, and typing all the writing or copy in the book, besides taking core of money mcatfers. Betty lou Galloway Business Manager Margaret Mastuin A 'fi Production Chairman 37 The Spectator Staff Every student looks forward to the Friday when the Spectators come out. A school paper such as the Spectator keeps us informed as to what has been going on and what is to come. The gossip columns or Hi-lights has always been a great favorite as well as the ever popular sports page. Meet Your Seniors is another feature that stu- dents very seldom skip over. Editor-in-chief for both semesters, Jenise Schnur, along with her staff, has worked long and hard to make a bigger and better Spectator. As an added attraction, they put out a special sports edition honoring the state-tournament bound basketball team and our state champion wrestlers. We all agree that this year's paper has been something to look forward 'to and read with interest. The Spectator staff feels that all their time and effort has been well spent.

Variety Show, moonlights, and all school dances are examples of such activities. Ably handling the Senate first semester was Bill Amburn. Serving as vice-president was Rodney Nelson with Jim Sisson taking the minutes. Jim Harmon, Rodney Nelson, and Jerry Jenkinson very capably led the group as President, vice-president, and secretary re- spectively the second semester with the won- derful cooperation of the general sponsors, Miss Faith Kurtzweil and Mr. Gibson and the individual committee sponsors. The Senate not only works as a body, but the individual committees carry on the ideas and suggestions of the Senate and the student body. The Scholarship committee promotes a good scholastic standing for the school. Hav- ing charge of and trying to interest students in activities other than scholastic, is the iob of the Extra-curricular committee. Climaxing the work of this committee is the assembly in which Golden W's are awarded. Moonlights, activity night, and the Junior-Senior Prom keeps the Social committee busy the year around. Everyone enjoys the fine assemblies presented, which is the work of the Auditorium committee. Promoting thriftiness and good citizenship in our school is the iob of the Thrift and Citizenship committees respectively. Not only do we try to be better citizens and thrifty ones, but also try to promote safety by making everyone safety conscious. The Student Senate helps us become better students of today, and teaches us to work as a democratic government of tomorrow. Officers of the first semester review the accomplishments they made during their term as they look over the minutes. These three are planning a lot of fun for every Wahawk in West. Activity Night was a job really well done. Band and Orchestra Two organizations of which the student body should be very proud this year are the band and orchestra under the able direction of Mr. Baker. The activities of both of these groups have been many and varied during the past year. Among the outstanding events was the band's participation in the tri- sclgool band festival with East and Marshalltown held at West High. The guest director was Mr. Joseph Skornika who made an excellent impression on all. ln May, the orchestra ended its season by participating in the tri-festival at Marshalltown. Radio broadcasts la ed an im ortant art in the musical school ear, for P Y P P Y many students played on School of the Air programs. Also, first division rating was won at state contest by our drum ensemble. Doing a fine iob was the marching band when they performed at half times during the football season. They did many intricate and lively steps which were enioyed by all. Ending the musical year, the band took part in the traditional Northeast lowa Band Jubilee.

These melodies are from Philomel, Treble Clet, Troubadors, Minnesingers, and Mixed Chorus practicing for all the 'festivities that include good music. Philomel, under the direction of Miss Naneen Davis, is one of the oldest organizations in West High School. Being a member of this group is indeed ci high honor. These girls endeavor to improve their voices to blend in perfect harmony. Combining the Minnesingers and Philomel, we have the harmonious Mixed Chorus. This group adds its bit to the Christmas program, commencement, and Spring Festival. Besides lending their talents to good music, they attended the annual Band, Chorus, and Orchestra party held at the Ti-Pi-Tin-Inn, where good times were enjoyed by all. Several other social mixers are held during the year for these singing lads and lassies. 44 MINNESINGERS Row 1: Jim Anderson, John Kestel, Joel Maring, Robert Christensen, Don Shields, Lee Pushee, Don Cerka Bob Thompson Row 2: Eddie Cohn, Dick Trudo, Deane Hutchison, Harlan Walther, Donnabelle Stearns, Jim McNamee, Harlan Jenkinson, Albert Henning Jr., Larry Woodard Row 3: Lee Rausch, Norman Melchert, Paul Hoffman, John Winder, Bill Burton, Duane Miller, Ray Stribley Don Landau, Robert E.

Because ot so many new stars two groups ot Treble Clet have been organized this year. Not to be outdone by the girls who seem to be more musically inclined, we present the Troubadors who certainly add strong and clear voices to make up the fine singers that belong to the Minnesingers. These two groups, under the direc- tion ot Mr. Marvin Easter, have worked hard this year to make some of those fine tones you have heard around school. 46 Bettering Humanity by Unseltish Giving The movement for a Bible Club was initiated fourteen years ago by a student, Garland Gotoski. The club was organized at that time by Mrs. Mae Keiber, who has since been its sponsor. One of the projects of the Bible Club this year has been contributing to the American Leprosarium Incorporated. The members sent a ten dollar check to aid this cause at the end of the first semester and plan to send another such amount at the end of the second semester. Noon meetings are held regularly for the furtherance of the Christian faith among West High students.

Besides all the help they give the school, service gives them a chance to develop character and dependability. In the library Mrs. Uban would be in a real dither if she didn't have some students who were willing to work. They are set to work doing iobs such as checking out books, shelving them, and checking students in and OUT. When we walk into a classroom and find the screen set up for a movie, the thought of no work passes through our mind. Very few students realize the value of the boy who has given up his time to learn how to run the machine. They are willing to teach any girl who is interested. Physical education classes aren't the only ones who receive the services of the towel assistants. These boys and girls, who spend their time counting towels and running up and down the stairs to gym classes, are also pro- moting better personal appearance and tidi- ness among our Wahawks. With all the snow and ice we have had this winter Miss Wilson has really been busy in the attendance office. To help her keep accurate attendance records, she has some very capable students to help her. With all this help she even has time to teach English. Many students get real experience from the model office. They get practice in typing letters, making stencils and duplicating them. In their service to West High they are making for themselves a real future. In some of the other offices, students spend their precious time answering telephones, keeping records, and running errands. These are the kids that bring those lucky for un- luckyl yellow slips to get you out of class. ln all these and many other service groups the kids are really working hard and living up to our school motto - Duty, Honor, Service. These Wahawks have reason to be proud. Dick Berray has Deane Hutchison and Norman Melchert, assistants to the earned his golden W and letters in three maior sports. student advisor, Miss Faith Kurtzweil, are busy checking the Jean Weems, West High's D.A.R. representative, won her golden W and year guard to go with it. names of driver training students.

This year the Make-Up committee under the direction of Miss Agnes Putta had two practice meetings in which they practiced put- ting make-up on each other. The Make-Up committee has over fifty members, and they have all worked on at least one production. For each production put on at West High the members of the Costume committee are COSTUME AND MAKEUP responsible for all the costumes. Many of the costumes are made by hand. Under the guid- ance of Miss Wagner, the Costume committee has had a most successful year. Crash! Bam! Alakazam! Here come the Stagecrafters. Are they busy -oh yes -, for they are responsible for the stage at all West's productions. They must draw the line be- tween beautiful and appropriate scenery or that which is dull and distasteful. They have done an excellent job of it this year.

In both the lowa High School Forensic League and lowa High School Speech Association, the Wahawk contestants came through with flying colors. A new organization for speech people was started this year. lts purpose is to promote and raise the standards of high school speech, and to recognize significant student achieve- ment. Under its able sponsors, it directed one act plays and sponsored a speech clinic held here at West. 1 l 'Heaven Can Wait , a delightful fantasy was given as the tall play, ancl another amus- ing three act play, Beggar on Horseback , was given as the spring play. Heaven Can Wait with Rodney Nelson, Ron Bronsema, Torn Buckton, and Norman Melchert. Beggar on Horseback with Ray Stribley, Jcman O'Keefe, Sally Butts, Rodney Nelson, and Norman Melchert. The Lord's WiIl , the one-act play which won an Excellent rating at the finals of the lowa High School Speech Association, has a starring cast ot three, Carol Ann Madill, Ronnie Moore, and Sally Butts.

When the weather permits they make pro- tound studies of the stars. With Mr. Wieder- anders as advisor, they use West's telescope and have added to their knowledge and en- ioyment. urking as they learn The life of a co-op student differs from that of the average student in the fact that the co-ops go to school for a half day and work the other half. The work which these boys and girls do depends upon the trade they wish to take up. lt is entirely up to the student. T. and I. and Co-op are generally taken up with the idea of building a foundation CO-OP upon which the students may build after graduation. lf a student finds he is not suited to the work, he may then decide against it as a life- time trade and go on to something else which suits him better. Co-operative part time work gives senior boys and girls an excellent chance to earn ci little money while preparing for later life.

The popularity of the club is evident by its membership of 163 girls. In various ways they try to carry out the purpose of the club: to grow as persons, to grow in friendship with other races and religions, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. The club meets each month for varied programs under the guidance of Miss Lucille Nash and President Sally Butts. They cooperate with many of the projects of the local Y.W.C.A., such as the Hanging of the Greens, the Fellowship Tea, gifts to foreign clubs, and Spangle Day. Money received from the sale of the familiar West High pencils and other proiects of the Friendship girls is given to the Community Chest and other worth- while organizations. May l help you to your seat? This phrase is heard by most of West High's fans or guest, whether they are attending a basketball game or a musical. Under the direction of Miss Clara Hansmeier, these girls not only serve for school programs, but also for many community events. We would certainly miss their familiar white blouses and dark skirts which have become the traditional uniform for all events. mi? , Es- USHERS . 3553 Y :ave G9 Row 'I: Betty Rule, Angie Falaris, Beverly Ames, Marilyn Sheeley, Sue Haselman, Betty Taylor, Joanne Soules, Jean Weems, Sharon Moore Row 2: Shirley Stamy, Sheila Flinn, Betty Lou Galloway, Ann Roberts, Alma Harris, Joan Wilson, Bonnie Johnson, Judy Lind- sey, Joan Arndorfer, Pat Caster Row 3: Donnabelle Stearns, Margaret Mastain, Dorothy Schwartz, Jackie Vich, Rita Evens, Dolores Dolan, Adele Lazar, Carol Koch, Wanda Phelps, Darlene Grove, Ruth Adix 59 :swf-xmsrvffuszra fm V V DANCING' ,coma .SWEET AND LOVELY ' 9 5 I will BUTTEPZFLY DANCE FLOATING' MAN DECK DREAMEQ5 60 USA CAN DO iN THE DAQK.

But three strikes doesn't put you out in the Variety Show League. This year's Melody Moods proved to be just as successful as any previous West High Produc- tion. The band, seated in the midst of a mod- ernistic background composed of a white lat- tice root and bandstands of vivid colors, set the tempo for the entire show. For a bit of variety, several string compositions formed arcs and ovals to complete the set. High among the laughs were the Deck Dreamers, the Goofus quartet, and the Danc- ing Dolls, who executed with remarkable grace steps 'From the ballet. Terpsichorea, dressed in old-'fashioned bathing suits, added a reministic touch in Seaside Frolics . In contrast, they returned to present a modern iazz version of Blues in the Night. Costuming in this number rep- resented the ultimate in the effort of a much deserving crew of seamstresses. The taplines took no backseat in the show, thanks to industrious Marlene Flieder. Petite Jean Weems intermingled her modern dance interpretation with the old ballads sung by Sally Butts, and added a flute solo, Yankee Doodle , by Jane Walker for the last part. Contrasts in moods were created by the various vocal numbers. Juanita Osheim sold us on her idea of My Man with her velvet voice. Let's hope that we never run into the problems that Joan Schumann did in her song, l'm Bashful . The able Master ot Cere- monies and band leader, Bill Burton, accom- panied Peggy Friedley in a vocal duet. Bill was later psychoanalyzed by Eddie Cohn in You're Just in Love . A startling glance into the mystic East was given us by a presentation of The Floating Man . A map of Rome is being discussed by the officers of one Caesar class as Terry Stevens points out a particular point of interest. Language Clubs Languages play an important part in our lives as do our language clubs. The Spanish clubs have been very active this year. They had their first banquet near the first part of the year where Miss Kurtz- weil's receipe of Spanish chile really went over big with most of the students. Although the clubs haven't had any outside speakers, Miss Kurtzweil has told them of her many experi- ences in Puerto Rico when she was teaching there. . The two French clubs under the gavel of Patti Brown and Sally Butts have had several parties and several speakers. The two clubs The secretary for the German IV class, Jenise Schnur, is given a lot of help on those minutes. They seem to be quite interesting. conduct their entire meeting in French which is quite a novel twist. A big banquet was planned by the German clubs, and they are also working very hard on their German publication, the Jugen- blatt. The more advanced club has put on several entertaining skits written by Jenise Schnur. Banquets seemed to be quite the thing in the language clubs, for the Latin Clubs had a big Roman banquet like the old time Roman banquets. The students even came dressed as the Romans dressed. They ate with their fingers and talked in Latin, and to make it even a little more difficult, they talked like the Romans. Spanish is taught not only by eye but by ear in West High as these Spanish students demonstrate. They are listening to Spanish records while some follow in the book. A beautiful place to visit lif only by pictures and dreams! is France. And also a lovely language to learn although some students still prefer English. Promoting Christian Character If you've seen a good looking bunch of boys going to a movie or a game on Tuesday night, it is iust our Hi-Y Club under the able leader- ship of Mr. Huff. These fellows are a branch of the YMCA that really works hard to keep up their motto, Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living . They try to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Ciimhing High You've probably wondered what the little gold pins are that you see being worn proudly on some fortunate pe-ople's lapels. They are the pins of the National Honor society with the Greek letters Kappa Gamma Phi.

This year it started with the idea of presenting Manhattan Moods , a series of dances pictur- ing a day in the huge metropolis of New York. Pavlovians, the junior dancers, also partici- pated in this program given for the students in January. Next on the agenda was the Variety Show in which they appeared in Seaside Frolics , Midnight Blues , and Dancing in the Dark . TERPSICHOREA Pavlovians presented Warsaw Concerto . The third star in their crown was the cre- ating of the dance program for Commence- ment. Much credit for these accomplishments goes to Mrs. Alta Emerson, the willing and able sponsor of both clubs. Terpsichorea officers this year were Jean Weems, president, and Patty Baker, secretary. Ann Roberts heads Pavlovians with Juanita Osheim as secretary.

These papooses are the Palle- teers, member of the Wahawk tribe. Each member earns ten or more service points toward his golden W for working on stage productions, which include plays, operettas, the Christmas pageant, and of course the variety show. Not only that, but these pa- pooses decorate the showcases, and some even design program covers. The papooses of the Palleteer tribe really earn their feathers. Chemically speaking, nascent means iust born, and iust born is this chemistry club, for this year marks the second of its existence. Last year the club sent several proiects to the Junior Academy of Science at Iowa City and won two superior and two excellent ratings. This year's club hopes to live up to the stand- ards set by last year's members. As last year's members had their rodents, so this year's members have their hamster proiect. The club, under the direction of Mr. Robert Johnson, hopes to gain a better understand- ing of chemistry through Nascents.

With eight returning lettermen, who played most of the defense for the Wahawks last year, West High started slow on offense but finished fast with one of the finest teams in Iowa. The real turning point was at Dubuque where the Wahawks scored three times within the first three minutes of the game and went on to win the game, 44-2'l. From there on in, they were unstopable. West rolled over North Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and East Waterloo. Early in the season the Wahawks suffered defeats from Loras of Dubuque, Clinton, and Fort Dodge. Much credit should be given to the coaches, Mr. Dutcher and Mr. Blue. They are a couple of swell guys and are iust what the doctor ordered for molding a winning team. 68 Football Record FOO Row 1: Row 2: Row 3: Row 4: Absent West Opponent Clinton ........ . . 13 19 lLorasD Dubuque , . . 8 40 Mason City .... . . 39 6 Ft.

There are many promising players ready to step into the varsity positions next year. One ot the sophomores played in a few varsity games this year. The sophomore boys did so well that Coach Tolletson awarded numerals to twenty-two boys. 71 VARSITY TEAM Row 1: Mike Jackman, Richard Roeder, Bob L.

The Wahawk five, averaging six feet two inches, took the Big Six championship with- out a defeat, twice defeating a powerful con- ference foe East Des Moines which had the tall- est team in the state. Hitting a team percentage of .318, the West squad swept to twenty-four victories and tumbled to defeat but twice, both times hav- ing a lead of ten points or more, only to draw a cold second half. In the costly tournament game with Roland, the Wahawks could only hit nine per cent of their thirty-four shots in the second half, while Roland hit forty-five per cent of the eighteen shots they could get away. This season the scoring honors went to big Bob L. Miller, a senior guard, who, hitting a percentage of .325, racked up 297 points. However, Miller was followed closely by a promising junior Jim Lutgen, who, in working at the other guard position with Bob, scored 288 points and managed to hit a good 'thirty- nine per cent. The starting five were evenly balanced with keen competition among the junior and senior reserves ready to fill in when they were needed. All of Stro's starters hit at least thirty per cent with Roeder, Berray, and Jackman having a percentage of .324, .300, and .316 respectively. This year West took part in undoubtedly the keenest and probably the most contro- versial tournament in the state's history. De- feating a good class B Lost Nation 'team 71-51 in their opening game, the Big Six kings fell victim to another fiery B outfit, Roland, in the second half 113-40. Roland hit .3602 for the game while West only made .21496 and missed eleven costly free throws out of nineteen. But after the tournament was over and the champion had been crowned, the great maiority of the sports writers, coaches, and radio men still ranked West High without a doubt as one of the top two basketball power- houses in the state of Iowa. l Q 1 .

The honor of being named first 'team all- state guard by Jack North went to Bob L. Miller. Also among his selections Jim Lutgen was chosen as a guard on the fourth all-state team and Roeder and Berray both received honorable men- tions. Writers from the Iowa City Press Citizen, covering the state tourney, unanimously placed Dick Roeder on the first team as a forward and named Bob Miller on the second team as a center. The Iowa Daily Press Association again named Bob on the first team all-state at the guard position with Roeder, Jack- man, ancl Lutgen receiving honorable mentions. Thus all ot the starters were honored on one or the other in the all- state selections. The squad chose as its captain for the season Dick Roeder, a senior forward. 74 Soohomore Basketball SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL Row 'l: Gary Hayes, Rich Roberts, Dell Bernstein, Jack Peters, Jerry Martin, Bob Avery, Vernon Buchan Row 2: Jerry Kraft, Larry Klein, Raymond Davis, Weston Thomas, Mr. Dutcher lcoachl, Don Cerka fmanagerl Row 3: Gary Yarrington, .lim Sisson, Dick Mahnke, Otto Miller, Dick Ford Record West Opponent Waverly ... .. 20 38 Cedar Falls .. .. 23 33 Dubuque ... ... 31 52 Cedar Falls ... ... 45 48 East Waterloo . . . . . . 37 22 Franklin, C.

The members are those boys who have won a letter in any sport and which have been initiated at one ofthe initiations which take place twice a year. This club, headed by Dick Bradtield the first semester, and Dick Berray the second with Mr. Strahan and Mr. Siddens as sponsors, did many charitable tasks this year. Several ot these were the selling of hot dogs and cottee during the chilly football games, also, they helped the annual fund by having a paper drive. For a little entertainment the club held a dance for members and dates, which they hope will become an annual event. The club has had a very successful year and one of which they can be very proud.

One ofthe outstanding cindermen of this year's track team was a iunior, Bob Madsen, West High's star high jumper. Bob took first in the T. C. Relays at Cedar Falls and then went on to tie for second in the Drake Relays. During the season West's team participated in many meets among which was a dual meet with East, a triangular meet with Oelwein and Waverly, the State Indoor, the Drake Relays, the Comet Relays, and the T. C. Relays. The boys had a very busy season, and, on the whole, highly successful and one ot which to be proud. 80 Baseball In starting his ninth year as West High's baseball coach Mr. Zebe Larson had ten lettermen to form a nucleus for his 1951 baseball squad. Returning lettermen are catcher Jerry Harwell, pitchers Rodney Krough and B. L. Miller, infielders Mike Jackman, Dick Roeder, Bruce Alexander, and Dick Berray, outtielders Jim Martin, Bob Bush and Bill Amburn. Harwell and Jackman also handle pitching assignments while B. L. also plays first base. Because of bad weather, early drills were held inside and consisted of running, throwing, fielding, bunting, and sliding. West split even in its first four games, winning from Cedar Falls 19 to 5, East High 6 to O, and losing to New Hampton 6 to O, and Readlyn 2 to 1. B. L. Miller's 6 to 9 no hit, no run game against East was the highlight of the early season games. For the first time in the history of the Big Six Baseball Tournament, West High won its first undisputed championship. Being the host school this year, West combined masterful pitching along with a powerful hitting attack to win the tournament in three games. After beating Fort Dodge 9 to 6 in the first round, Jerry Harwell allowed East only one hit as West advanced to the finals 7 to 1. In the championship game with East Des Moines, B. L. Miller pitched a three hit shutout as his teammates backed him up by getting four runs and thus winning the Big Six Baseball Title for West 4 to O.

Later in the season the team also participated in the Grinnell Invitational and the Big Six Conference meet at Fort Dodge. The squad was hampered without the services of a single returning letterman, and only two ot its members, Dennis Melchert and Jack Reed, had seen previous action. The playing team consisted of Dennis Mel- chert, Gordon Mosier, Jack Reed, Larry Jacob- sen, LeRoy Strohman, and Bill Cass. The en- tire squad was made up of ten members. Lettermen Dale Kniss, Bill Darland, Jim Nordyke, and Marlo See returned for the season from the 1950 State Golf Champion- ship team. These four, with Jim Lutgen and John Schutte, make up the excellent 1951 team. Mr. Narvesson for the second year coached the Wahawks, although he had the added weight of East High's team. Besides T950 State Champs, the 'team is also defending the Big Six and Franklin Invi- tational titles.
