FRESI-IMAN CLASS September 1942 is a date long to be remembered by the 259 students who entered VVest High for their freshman year. They started things off by electing an efficient group to lead them. Class offi- cers were: Arthur Wyatt, presidentg Glen Pierce, vice-presidentg Lois Portner, secretary, and Doro- thy O'Brien, treasurer. Mr. Grant, chief councilor, and Miss Pease, head adviser, assisted by Mrs. Shepard, Mr. Gother, Mr. Nebergal, Miss Bruno, Mr. Leifingwell, and Mr. Hafenrichter guided the class through an active year. One of the iirst activities that the freshmen par- ticipated in was West High's Homecoming Parade. Their Hoat was one of the many that helped make the parade a success. The freshmen were also active at the midwinter carnival in February. The class of 45 sponsored one of the many booths where prizes were given to those people who were the best at estimating the number of beans in a jar. Roth boys and girls in the freshman class were athletically inclined. 23 boys went out for football and tive received lettersg 12 were out for basketball and four received letters. The girls made a fine showing with 18 members in the G.A.A. Those not interested in sports made good use of their time in glee clubs, mixed chorus, and band. The freshman debate team did good work with the sophomore team at the tournament held at East High. The members of the team that represented VVest High were Ronald Greene, Dick Bannister, James Schomer, Rollin Ashton, Bill Eissler, Connie Gadow, and Ann Spurgeon. Ronald Greene was also on the varsity debate team. The freshman play, Grandmother Nick , was a demonstration of their dramatic ability. The players were: David Morris, Arthur Wyatt, George Singleterry, Lorraine Marshall, .Toy Oddy, and Gloria Matthews. On May S the freshman dance was given. lt was a costume party and everyone who took part came decked in gay colored costumes of every descrip- tion. The dance was highly successful and showed the social ability of the freshmen.
