His purpose was to inspire the school children of his day in patriotic ideals. The success of this pledge is evidenced in its widespread use through- out America and the love-of-country pro- moted in each person's heart as the Pledge is repeated. Miss Margarette S. Miller, having sought six years to substantiate the authorship of the Pledge, established the National Bel- lamy Flag Award in 1942. Rome Free Academy, the high school attended by Francis Bellamy, was the first recipient of the Award. One secondary school, repre- sentative of high quality in citizenship, is designated to receive the Award each year. As the twenty-First school to be so hon- ored, West High School received the Award on October 12, 1962. Through the past twenty years, the Bellamy Award has 1950 1951 Flag Award grown in recognition and significance. 511 messages, sent from all areas of the nation, congratulated West High. High- lighting the list were the telegram received from President Iohn F. Kennedy and let- ters received from former Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Herbert Hoo- ver and Vice-President Lyndon B. Iohn- son. Central High School of Chattanooga, Tennessee, will take its place among the Bellamy family of schools on October 12, 1963. 1942 - 1943 - 1944 - 1945 - 1946 - 1947 - 1948 - 1949 - 1952 - 1953 - 1954 - 1955 - 1956 - 1957 - 1958 - 1959 - 1960 - 1961 - 1962 - 1963 Nominee - Central High School .s,. ..

WHERE FACTQRE lowu Miss Miller previews the Bellamy edition of the Spectator. West High welcomed the arrival of adult guests, nine official Bellamy school representa- tives, and six unofficial student guests. Nu- merous social activities preluded the antici- pated Bellamy Award Program during the pre- ceding week. Student hosts and hostesses were accompanied to their classes by the stu- dent delegates, who learned ol the VVahawk way-of-life. The Bellamy display case, the Bellamy plaque, donated by the Class of l962. and the special twelve-page Bellamy issue of the Spectator interested West High students and visitors alike. Following a banquet held by the Student Senate, a mock-senate meeting was staged which exemplified VVest's student government system. Guests also toured the Waterloo area and attended a pot-luck supper at the home of jane Young. A luncheon for the guests by the VVaterloo Chamber of Com- merce followed the Bellamy Award Program. All events proved the hospitality of Vxfaterloo West. School, City Combine y Sunnyside Country Club was the scene of the luncheon for special guests following the program Friday morning. The Bellamy Flag is featured in the award display in the auditorium balcony. For 2 l st Celebration Miss Miller and Miss Cora Mae Fitzgerald Slop at a Student Center display vase.

MILLSAPS MARGARETTE S. lVl1L1 ER Student Senate President Chattanooga Central Principal Bellamy Award Donor Flag Presentation Highlights The pride felt by every West High stu- dent on the morning of October 12, 1962, cannot be denied. Yet the solemn mean- ing embodied in the presentation of the Bellamy Flag Award to our student body humbled our spirits. Live television cov- erage for the first time allowed interested persons viewing of the impressive assem- bly. Greetings from Bellamy school rep- resentatives as well as Iowa Congressmen Bourke Hickenlooper and lack Miller and Governor Norman Erbe were augmented by the stirring musical numbers of the West High band and chorus. For the First time David Bellamy, Ir., grandson of Francis Bellamy, took part in the Bellamy Award Program. Climaxing the ceremo- nies, Miss Margarette S. Miller presented the flag, which on lVlay 18, 1962, Francis Bellamy's birthday, had flown over the Capitol, to West High School, the twenty- first school to receive the Award. L. A. Pat Touchae, Executive Vice-President of the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, ac- cepted the Hag for the alumni.

STUDENTS . . .Challenges Preparation, Achievement Either Nancy Cormany has adopted reading Chinese style or there is an ulterior motive behind this hasty con- centration exhibited by Nancy and Kathy Sisson. Perhaps a member of our illustrious faculty inspired this devotion to duty. 11 F ORE ORD Time may be of one generation or another, physical surroundings may vary from simple to complex, custom and order may follow changing fashion, but for education there can be only one fundamental source of strength - the strength of a teacher-student relationship. Seldom are the sparks of inspiration more than pinpoints of fu- ture hopeg routine overshadows moments of ex- citement. Yet there is respect, trust, and inherent direction toward individual and community growth recorded on the pages that follow. For here, in this year of l963, as always in the past and ever in the future, those bearing torches shall pass them on to others. -Plato CONTENTS Activities . . Features .... Athletics . .

Government challenge of these responsibilities, Student Senate I was headed by Keith Meyerhofl, president, Bob Kress, vice- presidentg and Kathy Sieben, secretary. Planning for the variety show and the junior-senior prom were among the duties carried out by the second semester senators. In addition, a candy sale was pro- moted from which S150 of the proceeds went to the Dol- lars for Scholars fund and S100 went to the Waterloo Recreation Commission. The Student-Faculty Basketball Game, sponsored by the Senate, was a success. The pro- ceeds from the game and the cake walk went to the fund to bring an A.F.S. student to West next year. Nick Anton, president, Mike Girsch, vice-president, and Bob Weed, secretary, served as officers of the second semester Senate. Student Senate II - Front Row: L. Belknap, K. Sieben, S. Caines, M.

Home Room Presidents Form Gaveliers As an equal member of West High's three- house student government, Gaveliers is recognized as an organization of importance. For the first year, Gaveliers, whose members are the presidents of their home rooms, met during school time once every three weeks on a rotation basis with Student Senate and Activities Council. The primary pur- pose of Gaveliers is to help the home room presi- dents to serve their home rooms better. This pur- pose was accomplished through discussion of the problems which occur on the home room level and instruction in parliamentary procedure. The first semester officers were Iay Harmon, president, Ioy C-ellerman, vice-presidentg and Steve Potter, secre- tary. The second semester ollicers were Paul Bixby, president, Kenny Caines, vice-president, Rita Shellenberger, secretary, and Phil Wood- ward, treasurer. Mr. Sodergren advised the Gav- eliers.

This being its second year of existence, the Activities Council was a rela- tive newcomer to West's governing bodies. With the help of guidance counselor, Mr. Scholl, this group met its duty of coordinating the activites of the many extra-curricular clubs and organizations, The members of Activities Council were the presi- dents and editors of these numerous groups. These active Wahawks revised their own constitution as well as considering the constitutions of new clubs before recognizing them as chartered groups. Ac- tivities Council also accepted the responsibility of revising the allotment of Golden W service points. First semester officers were president, Nick Antong vice-president, Bill Edwardsg and secretary, Rick Brecunier. Second semester officers were presi- dent, Roger Pechg vice-president, Kathy Sissong and secretary, Bill Edwards. i I 18 Torben Ivarsson and Liisa Hollmen pose with flags of their adopted home - the American and West High Hags.

Exemplifies World Understanding World peace and understanding - the American Field Service works through its program of foreign youth exchange to promote the attainment of these goals. Through the American Field Service program, Torben Ivarsson, the fourth A.F.S. student to attend West High, came to the United States from Denmark. The Dane, as Torben's friends called him, soon be- came a part of the student body. The second foreign student to attend West High this year was Liisa Hollmen. Liisa, who was spon- sored by the First Presbyterian Church of Waterloo through the International Christian Youth Exchange, was from Salo, Finland. Both Liisa and Torben taught West High of life in their Scandinavian homes as they lived as typical Wahawks. As ambassadors of the United States and West Wa- terloo, Iudy Rugg and Leslie Loomis returned to West High from their travels abroad. They were the first representatives from West High to go abroad through the American Field Service program. Wellington, New Zealand, had been Iudy's home from December, 1961, through August, 1962. Leslie had become a member of a family in Bayerisch Gmain, Germany, during the summer of 1962. Upon their return these girls shared their experiences with West High students.

WAHAWK ls Result of Year-Long Effort The production of a yearbook involves much hard work. Yet this work is most rewarding. The staff of the 1963 WAHAWK wished to produce a yearbook which would keep alive the memories of this 1962-1963 school year through photographs and print. Iudy Krantz, as editor-in-chief, headed the staff which introduced many new features to this book. An increased number of pages, a new style of print, and the use of the West High seal on the cover were among the innovations. The completion of the yearbook combined the work of many, each striving to do his job thoroughly. Whether in developing photographs or planning page layouts, the annual staff worked to produce a yearbook which would excel the ordinary - the 1963 WAHAWK.

Terps, Pavs, and Des Moiselles Dressed in black tights and aqua blue dance outfits, the senior girls of Terp- sichorea could be found working on their dance routines in the girls' gym, boys' gym balcony, or the auditorium. After school on Tuesdays and Fridays were the regular meeting times of these seventeen girls, although they often worked with other dance groups on other afternoons and before school. At the beginning of the school year, Mrs. Kramer, faculty advisor, instructed the members in basic modern dance techniques. As the dates for the Variety Show neared, the girls concentrated on developing the choreography for dances. As well as working out the numbers in which they appeared themselves, the Terps members instructed other dance lines. Divided into groups, they worked with tap line, soft shoe line, opening line, folk dance, and boys' novelty. Kathy Sisson and Ann Platt held the offices of president and secretary respectively. The members of Pavlovians were junior girls who were interested in learning about modern dance through their own experience. These girls as members of last year's Des Moiselles, the sophomore modern dance club, had tried out before faculty judges for membership in Pavlovians. In turn, the members of Terpsichorea, the Pavlovians- Front Row: Anne Si- monsen, Pam Hausman, Carolyn Fouts. Second Row: Lynda Fox, Mi- chele Farrell, Rosemary Levi, LaRae Belknap.

Develop Dance Skills and Choreography senior modern dance club, will be selected for next year from the members of Pav- lovians. For this reason, the junior girls were intent on learning modern dance skills in preparation for next year. Preparing novelty numbers with which to try out for the Variety Show also occupied much of the time of the Pavs. By the Sea was a comical novelty number in the Variety Show, danced by Pavlovian members. President of Pavs was Pam Hausman, vice-president was Anne Simon- sen, and secretary was Carolyn Fouts. The role of modern dance and choreography among West High's extra-curric- ular activities was an important one. The purpose of Des Moiselles was to insti- gate and promote an interest in modern dance among sophomore girls. The Des Moiselles elected officers and divided into four groups in the fall.

Officers were Bill Edwards, presi- dent, Nick Anton, vice-president, and Leslie Loo- mis, secretary. The Spanish Club was organized during the second semester of the school year. A major pur- pose of Spanish Club was to allow the members to hear Spanish spoken by native speakers.

Co-op students held part- time clerical and secretarial jobs while Trades and Industries students learned a specific skill. These students attended three classes each day at West High and worked part-time for a Waterloo em- ployer. Through these programs, advised by Miss Knoche and Mr. Crowley, the students received invaluable insights into their future occupations.

Girls Perform Various The matters which are handled through the main office are innumerable. Yet each situation was handled calmly and capably by the office personnel. Secretaries, Mrs. Grange and Mrs. Little, who worked closely with the administration, were in- tegral members of the office staff. At the switchboard and inter-com before school and during each period throughout the school day were student assistants. Errand girls, who delivered messages to students and faculty, completed the active per- sonnel of the main office. MRS. LITTLE MRS. GRANGE Main office Main office JD Services for Administration Every West High student is familiar with de- partmental English tests, such as the vocabulary tests and thirty-line tests. Each time such a test was given, the English oflice assistants were busy checking the papers, tabulating errors, and record- ing scores. Working under Miss Wagner were Mrs. Roland Enos and the student assistants. They were always active keeping records, distrib- uting materials, and running errands. Mrs. Robert Reese, who worked in the social studies office in the morning, worked in the Eng- lish office during the afternoons. Twyla Knoke, Berna Hampton.

The duties of the attendance office increased in proportion to the enrollment of West's student body. Mrs. Elno Beran, attendance officer, was responsible for the recording of all absences and tardies during each school day. She was aided by student assistants who filled out admit and tardy slips. The importance of this service is easily recognized. Every senior who applied for admission to a college feels indebted to Mrs. Beran. As a part of her duties, Mrs. Beran filled out grade transcripts for students who were candidates for admission and sent the transcripts on to the col- leges. Mrs. Bernard Eyestone, a teacher's aide, assisted Miss Kurtzweil with secretarial chores. MRS. REESE MRS. EYESTONE MRS.

The assistants, one of whom was always present in the nurse's oliice, also kept and filed personal health records of West High students. Student Assistants Help Many The busy schedule of our Di- rector of Athletics, Mr. Strobridge, includes much paper work.

The assistants, who were in charge of the lend- ing of books and magazines and the returning of books to the shelves, helped to maintain a true library atmosphere for the stu- dents. Aiding Mr. Kitzman during his art classes was the duty of the student art assistants. These six students, who helped in the or- ganization of the art classes, worked on service art projects such as the stage settings for the plays and the variety show. Movies are an effective means of presenting information to stu- dents, whether in a physical edu- cation class or a physics class. Giving up their libraries to oper- ate the movie projectors, the movie operators presented the educational films to the class- rooms. These boys worked under the direction of Miss Shellard.

Spirited activities began homecoming week with the decoration of West's halls by class committees and the sale of mums,' by A Chorus. Homecoming morning found the student body rehearsing for the pep rally to be held that afternoon. Based on the fashions and cheers of years gone by, the pep assembly skit, West Review, amused all Wahawks. At- tending alumni found that the Wahawk spirit was even more enthusiastic than in their own high school days. lVlr. Red VVhittle, an outstanding athlete who graduated from West in 1912, represented his class as they held a fifty-year class reunion. The Class of 1953, represented by Mrs. lVlaro See, held a ten-year class reunion. With the support of all Wahawks, the football team defeated St. Edmunds of Fort Dodge 46-0. A moonlight dance held after the game ended a thrilling Homecoming- 1962. Cheerleaders pose in front ol the tepee with Steve Beck. ii wa.

Working energetically and unendingly the West High Band filled the 1962-1963 year with many successful per- formances. Each home football game found the March- ing Band entertaining the fans at half-time with intricate maneuvers based on clever themes. A paddle wheel show- boat moved across the football field in the show, The Birth of Iazzf' The Surrey with the Fringe on the Top was drawn by the fiagtwirlers acting as prancing horses in the show, Highlights from Oklahoma. Climaxing the marching season, the combined first and fourth hour bands showed their respect for band director, Mr. Richard Baker, by forming a block B and playing For He's a Jolly Good Fellow much to Mr. Baker's surprise. The Concert Bands proved their merit in performing in the Bellamy Award Assembly, student assemblies, the Evening of Music, and the Tri-School Music Festival. Swing Band, Pep Band, flagtwirlers, and bellringers were among the smaller groups derived from the West High Band. This organization kept West High musically in step throughout the school year.

Thirty-seven full-time and part-time string musicians and twenty-seven wind musicians comprised the orchestra. The rapid growth of the orchestra, which has nearly tripled in size in the past three years, may be credited to the initiative shown by Mr. Bacich, the musicians themselves, and the coopera- tion of Mr. Gibson and the entire student body.

The West High auditorium was the scene of many school performances. The unsung heroes of these performances were the boys of light crew, sound crew, and stagecrafters. Lighting effects, whether used in pep assemblies or plays, were pro- vided by the light crew. The all-important use of lighting in the Variety Show made the light crew essential in the show's production. Sound crew members also played an important role. They were responsible for the control of microphones in all assemblies as well as in the Variety Show. The stage settings for all plays and the Variety Show were the products of the work of stagecrafters. Ap- plying their skills, the stagecrafters produced sets to be admired. s l i Sound Crew - Front Row: Wayne Boots, Chuck Kachulis, Bill Retrum.

Hard work, increas- ing skill, and that Wahawk spirit carried the grid- ders through the first undefeated, untied season in West High's history. In the eighth game of the season, West faced the major contender for the Big Six Conference Championship, Fort Dodge. A number of goal-line stands increased the excite- ment of the Fort Dodge game, which West won 21-7. In the final encounter of the season, West defeated East High 27-13 to claim the City Cham- pionship, the Black Hawk County Big Four title, the Big Six Conference Championship, and the honor of an undefeated season.

Varsity Club lncludes West's Lettermen Lettering in a sport qualifies a West Hi h athlete for member- ship in Varsity Club. As an active group, the lettermen performed many projects of service to the school and the community. Basket- ball games and wrestling meets found them serving as ushers. Sell- ing coffee, pop, and donuts at football games, washing cars, and selling Christmas wreathes were the clubis fund-raising projects. In serving the community, Varsity Club collected toys for needy children during the Christmas season and also served as ushers at the Ice Capades. A dinner for the athletes and their parents was held in the spring. Gary Fergemann and john Nelson held the office of president for the first and second semesters, respectively. Mr. Siddens and Mr. Walker served as faculty advisors. The title of Most Valuable Athlete is the highest award given in West High athletics. Dick Miller, whose record in football, basketball, and track speaks for his ability and value to West High, was this year's recipient of the coveted award. Dick's selection was based on the voting of the members of Varsity Club. As lead- ing scorer and rusher of the undefeated West High football squad, Dick was named to the first All-State football team in his position as half-back. Scholastic Magazine also named Dick as an All- American player. In basketball Dick played as a guard on the varsity team. As a high jumper and hurdler on the track team, Dick fulfilled his status as best all-round athlete. DICK MILLER 1 UU:-lun!!! ....x. . A - f,-, A .- -- - N 5 ,.,m,,9..wF A ILAG Z Q - . ' ....

Gibson, is evidenced by the high standard of educational quality which West main- tains. American education has many institutions and traditions, not the least of which is the high school yearbook. To those in West High School, the WAHAWK should be considered a most prized possession, since it reflects the year in which it is published. Long after events and persons may be forgotten, this publication will recall to mind the school year of 1962-63, its successes, its disappointments, and its achievements. Thus, as long as he may live, the student will have in permanent form this record which mirrors his friendships and associations with classmates and faculty. May I congratulate the staff on this very fine volume. MR. WILLIAM W. GIBSON West High School Principal As vice-principal of an expanding high school, Mr. E. W. Kersenbrock assumed a large responsibility. Be- -sides assisting Mr. Gibson with ad- ministration chores, Mr. Kersenbrock was in charge of the lighting for pub- lic auditorium performances, disci- pline, and cafeteria finance. MR. E. W. KERSENBROCK Vice-Principal DR. GEORGE W. HOHL Superintendent of Schools The smooth operation of the Waterloo schools depended heavily on the abilities and devoted efforts of ,our new Superintendent of Schools, Dr. George W. Hohl. Coming to Waterloo on Iuly l, 1962, from Passaic, New Iersey, he capably demonstrated his ability to assume the responsibilities inherent in his position. Mr. Ernest W. Barker, Director of Curriculum, was instrumental in keeping curriculum standards up-t0- date. He was also recognized at West Mrs. W. H. Rehder Mr. Stewart R. Seidler Mr. Sydney A. Thomas High as a favorite open house speaker and loyal supporter. MR. ERNEST W. BARKER Director of Curriculum Mr. W.

Understanding between nations is essential for world peace. Through study- ing a country's language, an insight into its culture and the lives of its people is given. This year, Russian was added to the foreign language courses offered at West High. Through the social studies courses, students learn to relate the history of the world and the study of the structures of society to modern times. An appreciation of our freedom is developed through the study of American history, which is required. RICHARD BIZNESII MRS.

The Co-op and the Trades and Industries programs combine study at West with part-time employment. Short- hand, typing, bookkeeping, and retailing prepare students for clerical vocations. The home-making classes offer high school girls training for their future roles as homemakers. The boys who take courses in shop and mechanical or architectural drawing learn valuable skills. Driver training is a program which teaches correct driving techniques to aid students in qualifying for drivcr's licenses. Duplicating machines are important in any large organiza 'K tion. MRS.

A fatal auto accident near Hampton, Iowa, marked the end of his nine- teen years of outstanding service at West. Not only was Mr. Wieland an excellent teacher, but he was known for his cheerfulness, his consideration of others, and his will- ingness to assist in all school activities. He will not soon be forgotten.

We soon became a part of the West High tradition, with our participation in athletics, pep assemblies, and school activities. Homecoming, East- West games, the Christmas service, and Variety Show are a few of the activities we will always remember. In and out of class we were given opportunities to excel. After our hours of homework, we shared the fun of parties and mixers. Our efforts as underclassmen were rewarded by having Torben Ivarsson as a member of our senior class. We will always remember the Bellamy Award Ceremonies as part of our senior year. Now we are ready for commencement into still broader worlds, better prepared for life by our years at West High.
