With the aid of the freshmen, the sophs smeared themselves with green paint as they decorated for the annual trosh-soph dance, Shillalah Stomp , presented March ll. Class members gave time and energy by par- ticipating in all school activities: athletics, drama, iournalism, speech, music, and student council. This energetic group starred in almost every field ol endeavor and proved that underclassmen can be a great asset to any school. Eagerly looking forward to next year, the sophs are already anticipating successful careers as up- perclassmen at West High.

September 7, the first day of school will long be remembered by the students who entered West High for the inauguration of their high school career. Starting things off with a bang, they elected an efficient group to lead them: Chuck Hughes, president: Dick Lehman, vice-president: Mariean Whitson, secretary, and Martha Smith, treasurer. Advisers were Miss Louise Lane, Mr. Carl Hafen- richter, Mr. C. J. Nebergal, Mr. Sten Halfvarson, Miss Una Pease, and Miss Jean Hayek. Homecoming time found them working fast and feverishly on a super class float that vied with those of the upperclassmen for honors. Activities keeping the freshies busy were foot- ball, basketball, G. A. A., glee club, debate, and the annual Frosh-Soph Dance, the Shillalah Stomp presented on March ll.

Our present school is forty-five years old and, because ot restricted site and outmoded design, cannot provide 'Facilities lor the increasing number of students or meet certain state requirements. Our new building program, which will cost tax- payers less than any program that could be adopt- ed, includes a new high school with an auditorium seating thirteen hundred, a swimming pool, a visual education room for two hundred and titty, a music department, a cafeteria, a gym seating thirty-tive hundred, and additions to Greenman grade school and the present West High. Upperclassmen volunteered as block captains to organize house-to-house canvassing groups for al- lotted districts which covered the whole west side. Cars with student drivers were provided to drive the voters to the polls, art students made posters, and student otticers appeared on a radio panel discussion. 1 E Q 5 0 Q Haussler loolns over architects sketch of new brain factor zk,A we -xxx, NWMQ build .. Student organizers puzzle over the 64-dollar question - Will it go through? . . 1950 The School Board has consistently supported plans for the new school. The Board members gave freely ol their time, some to the extent ot neglect- ing their own businesses, to hold committee meet- ings. Attorney John Matthews served as chairman ol the special Building Committee. He and other members of the Committee - Mr. McKee, Mr. Willett, and Mr. Spence, - did their utmost to push the bond issue. Alter the issue went through they still gave ol their time to hold special meet- ings, however, a later Board meeting did away with the special Building Committee. Hundreds ol west side residents signed petitions in favor ol the program while pamphlets describing all the particulars ol the building program and sample ballots were distributed profusely. Principal Haussler, Superintendent Larson, and Mr. Matthews appeared before the students and other groups to stress the desirability of the program. Rarely was a west side car seen without a Vote yes on De- cember l0 sticlcer.

' West High's coaching staff has frequently been rated the very finest in the state. This is a great tribute to the fine records compiled by these men during the last few years. During the last four years the football team has captured three conference championships. The basketball team has continued to add to the prestige it has gained during the last three years under Coach Axelson. The track, tennis, and golf teams all enjoyed successful seasons under ex- cellent guidance.

Although there were definite defensive shortcomings, that peerless offense could hit anywhere with equal facility and never failed to score less than three touchdowns a game while capturing its third undisputed conference title in four years. Practically the whole first string received mention on some all-conference team as Gustafson, Guzeman, and Morlock received first team berths with Biever and Smith, who were also All-state. NAPERVILLE proved a tough opener as expected. The Hawk offense was already showing signs of greatness in the 20-18 victory, but two fine enemy halfbacks pointed to basic defensive weaknesses. DE KALB fell to West 25-13 as Johnny Biever scored twice on passes from Gustafson who completed 7 to 9 attempts and scored once. NILES lost to a rusty Aurora football machine 27-7 as the Hawks played their least spectacular ball of the season. LA SALLE-PERU and a quarterback named Plantan gave our boys a terrific battle before succumbing 19-9. Gus starred on offense while Max Frazier and Driver Munro spearheaded the defense. Zimmerman's men ripped WEST ROCKFORD's line to shreds for a 33-14 victory in a game that had been figured a toss-up. The 483 yards the Hawks gained was made up mostly of off-tackle yardage through a Warrior defense which was geared to stop our end runs and quick openers. Don Gustafson put on a great passing exhibition as his pawns defeated strong JOLIET 33-13. He tried ten passes and completed seven for 233 yards and three touchdowns. West's line-play was excellent as Hollister, DesJarden, Biever, Thurow, Morlock, and especially Eddie Oxie, who was starting his first game, all performed flawlessly. At top: Capt. Pete Joy, Gus Gustafson, Skinhead Biever. Below: Ed Oxie, Wrong Way Jensen, Moe Morlock, Duffy Lindstrom. EAST ROCKFORD had little chance as they fell before the Hawk legions 38-13. Amassed by our offensive-minded backfield were 462 yards. Capt. Pete Joy and Ronnie Farren played particularly fine games as halfbacks as did Guzeman at full. An overpowered W. A. eleven never gave up as they lost to an ELGIN club which had strength and a terrific incentive to win. The 39-31 score indicates the intensity of the offensive struggle. Our finesse and deception failed to match the bone-crushing power of the Maroon eleven. The inability of the Hawk defensive line to match the beef and fresh reserve strength of the Watchmen spelled the difference. FREEPORT lost to the Hawks, minus three regulars, 37-14. Our backfield speed and heady line play left little to chance. THANKSGIVING provided a fitting climax to a great season. Our vic- tory over a fine EAST AURORA team from across the River Fox by a clear- cut 20-13 score enabled us to attain the undisputed championship of the Big Eight. The victory was strictly o team affair both offensively and defensively. ln the first period, when the footing was firm, we scored all twenty of our points in a brilliant display of deception and speed. From there on in the going was much harder as the footing became sloppy, and the conditions were definitely not perfect for a deceptive T attack, our defense held, how- ever, and we returned home with both the Exchange Club and Big Eight trophies. Reading clockwise are: Driver Munro, Ron Farren, Hugger Hollister, Jet Smith, Big Jawn Hargis, Knee Thurow, Guzie Gu1emon, Monk DesJarden, Max Frazier. ihL I'00I'bCIlI ln their final game of the I949 season the West High Frosh-Soph eleven defeated the FREEPORT underclassmen by a convincing 34-6 score. ln this game the Hawlxlets gave promise of fine things to come: and furthermore, if this victory is any indication of the calibre of ball these boys are capab'e of playing, Coaches Zimmerman and Friday can expect a fine group of juniors on the varsity squad next year. After losing their first game to strong NA- PERVILLE and their second to DE KALB, the Hawlclets rolled to their first victory of the year when they took NILES OF SKOKIE into camp by a score of I9-0. The first conference game of the year found the Hawlclets on the short end of a I4-7 score. They were beaten by a LA SALLE-PERU club which had won three games previously by lop- sided scores and which later won the confer- ence title. WEST ROCKFORD then defeated us 7-0 in the closing seconds of another thriller. JOLIET proved a little bit too strong for our boys as they lost I3-6, although they were never out of the battle. ln the next three games the Hawlilets defeated both EAST ROCKFORD and ELGIN, but lost to EAST HIGH. Coach Burclchard's freshman team enioyed a banner year in winning their entire schedule. This team ought to provide a fine nucleus for the frosh-soph squad next year since their ex- periences on the field as a winning unit has taught them the fun and thrills of worlring to- gether for a common goal. rown throws aerial far down the field against L.P.

Charlie Milne Jim Brick var ity T The varsity basketball season of 1949-50, Coach Axelson's third as head coach, proved to be another successful campaign. Although our team was unable to drive through to the state finals, they gained many other distinctions that any team should be proud of. Their season total of twenty-five won and four lost is an excellent record, especially in the Big Eight conference. During the Christmas holidays the team annexed the title in the DeKalb tournament. The final results of regular season play in the conference made us co-champions of the conference along with Elgin. As individuals, also, the Hawks did well. With his selection for the third straight year on the all-conference five, John Biever. our great captain and forward, was unanimously recognized as one of the all-time greats of the conference. He then received the ultimate distinction of being placed on the all-state quintet. Bob Carney showed terrific improvement at the start of the sea- son over his performances of last year. He went on to compile a fine record during the year and to receive the honor of being West's second representative on the all-conference five. Unfortunate injuries 1 Dave Binford's sprained ankle, Chuck Mitchler's bad knees, and Frank Smith's broken foot - may have hurt our chances at times during the season, but we can still regard this as a fine season.

Elgin Biever lays in another one against Bradley. The Hawks lost their first game of the year to Riverside-Brookfield by a score of 52-50. Their victory over Arlington Heights in the next game of the season started a winning streak of fifteen games which ended in the Freeport gym two months later. During these fifteen games our ball club won its first five conference vic- tories - Elgin, 42-32, East Aurora, 42-283 East Rockford, 34-285 West Rockford, 52-36, and Joliet, 53-37. This put us in a good spot to garner the conference title, however, our two defeats in the last five games made it necessary to share the title with Elgin. A total of four of the victories enabled the Hawks to gain first place in the DeKalb tourna- ment during the Christmas vacation. ln the first game of the tournament we whipped Genoa thoroughly as Carney scored Zl points in the first half. The second win was over a tough Leyden five in an overtime. We then proceeded to whip highly rated Rock Island and DeKalb for the title. Left: Mitch controls the tip against West Rock- ford. Right: Butch receives the pinchers. The Freeport game proved to be the turning point in the season. After the 43-38 defeat by the Pretzels, the team was plagued the rest of the year by iniuries and bad luck. By the time the team was again able to floor the early season starting lineup, the first game of the regional tournament was at hand. ln this game the Hawks defeated East High for the third time this season, but by only the narrowest of mar- gins - one point, 32-3l. ln the second game Naperville was defeated fairly easily, but the final encounter of the tournament provided con- siderably more difficulty: Wheaton was not downed until the final three seconds after we had trailed the major part of the game. ln the first game of the sectional we vanquished St. Paul of Odell. ln the final game with Bradley the Hawks were nipped in the final seconds to put a close to an otherwise line season. x s I - -wr :lg if W, nf 4- wmv f M . . ,.f W v . fi Wm' Ex ah Top row: Mgr.

Coach Axelson may not be blessed with a host' of skyscrapers next year, but he will have a group of fine ballhandlers who can really fight when they want to. The freshman team enjoyed a successful season while gaining valuable experience for use next year.

West High's track fortunes have been steadily increasing since Lew Stephens' ar- rival on the scene two years ago. Last year the trosh-soph squad tied tor the conference title, and the varsity, composed mostly oi this year's seniors, did well during the year. With a number ol men from the varsity and the entire lrosh-soph team returning, a good season is assured. First row: llelt to rightl Lindstrom, Ed Fisher, Albrecht, Guzeman, Hill Heldenberg, Stroclr, Sidmore, Frank Smith, Moberly, Varley, Jensen. Second row: Arundale, Murray, Ream, Larry Anderson, West, Little Seith, Ochsenschlager, Chione, Ed Anderson, Spaclrman, Light, Stevens and Winn. Third row: Harmon, Tom Fisher, Cadieux, Zentmyer, Hinchman, Moody Fourth row: Whiteside, Davidson, Reed, and Ronnie Smith. The l950 traclr team is the type ol aggre- gation which will win many dual and tri- angular meets. lt has very good balance, but possibly lacks the individual stars to capture a large meet. This year's traclx team will be a good one, and furthermore the future loolrs even brighter. Paul Stroclz soars over the bar with plenty to spare. tenni 1 l During the year of I949-50 sports have flourished at West High. Tennis is no exception this year, since substantial numbers of lettermen are available from last year's team. Although there is no great influx ot new material, there is enough seasoned timber to assure Coach Paul at least a better-than-average year. Returning from last year's squad are Poncho Krentz, Dave Binlorcl, Lee Thurow, Piddlin ' Smith, and other local masters ol the game. Coach Don Paul thinks 1950 looks like the best season in recent years. B un-- Z 0 .A J 5 ., ' fx ,x 3 ' Qi -Q 1 'za ' , .sf 1- 'Va-' . , . 5 if I .. ? .L W, l, Glenbard Marmion ..... Joliet .........

This hearty exclamation describes West High's '49-'50 seventy-five piece band under the direction ot Warren Felts. Yes, music invaded the at- mosphere bright and early every morning during the tirst period! At the first ot the year, we saw our marching band performing its impressive formations between halves ot the home football games. The band traveled to Rock- tord where it made a grand showing. Bill Hope, drum major, and Norma Jean Breese, drum maiorette, led the marching band through a successful season. On November 4 the band and choir combined to give a concert of varied types of music. Another annual band concert was given May 4. The school assembly had the opportunity ot hearing the band on March 8, and the P.-T.A. heard the same program on March 14. The Fox Valley Music Festival on April 24 gave our band a chance to combine with other groups in the valley tor a concert given at Elgin High School. The last public appearance of the year was at commencement where the band played a thirty-minute program. Helping Mr. Felts in the business angle were the of- ticers: Bill Hope, president: Dave Donkle, vice-president: Jean Chamberlain, secretary, and Tom Johnson, trea- surer. This year the band has more depth and balance than ever before, states Maestro Felts proudly. The band progressed rapidly in sight-reading and general musicianship.

This year's choir was Director Sten Halfvarson's pride and joy since the Choir had unusually splendid musical ability. Regular appearances at which the choir sang were the Band-Choir concerts in the tall and spring, the P.-T.A. Christmas program, the Easter Sunrise Service, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Additional appear- ances included a concert of Christmas songs at Sencenbaugh's department store, the Richards-Wilcox Christmas Party, and the Elks Club Memorial Service. lt is agreed among the choir members that one of the best ac- tivities ol the year was the pres- entation ol the spring revue March 30 and 31. This was an entirely original production and even though it toolc hours ol hard work and extra rehearsals, choir mem- bers loved every minute ol it! The revue, Remember When, was one ol the most colorful events ol the year, thanlcs to the capable direction ol Mr. Sten Hallvarson. In the spotlight were our com- posers and their songs: title song Remember When lGilbert Free- man, Jill Cagle, and Sylvia Sin- denl, The Alpine Schottischen lAnn Ridingerl, Only You lJudy Powelll, and Gosh, How l Love to Spoon lPhyllis Hansonl. The choir was led through its successful year by President Gil- bert Freeman, Vice-prexy Paul Morloclc, Secretary Phyllis Hanson, and Treasurer Joanne Krenti.

A. did, said sponsor Jean Hayek. Sometime during the year a Sadie Hawkins dance was planned, then of course, with football, and basketball concessions, ac- cepting sports invitations from other schools, and electing camp representatives, there wasn't much time for homework! President Arlene Loeber and Vice-presi- dent Starr Cressy said that not everyone was eligible to ioin. Only the freshmen and sophomores who had physical examination cards filled out and iuniors and seniors who turned in heart checks. Secretary-treasurer Janice Knapp not only recorded minutes, but also figured out how to make the budget stretch. Four sport managers were chosen to manage different groups of sports during the year, and write up the club's activities for the RED AND BLUE. Carol Lundin was fall sport man- ager, Sylvia Burkland, early winter: Mary Heitkotter, late winter, and Jean Bridge- ford, spring. Joanne Plum, point secretary, had ta keep track of the points that each girl earned toward her letter. HUP! Bottom: Coach Hayek. Radlatlng good cheer are Mary Helt kotter Sylvia Burkland Carol Lundin Jean Brldgeford rear Starr Cressy Joanne Plum Janice Knapp Arlene Loeber A regular schedule of sports was set up lor the school season. During the fall were soccer and tennis. The girls could swim, bowl, play basketball, and volley-ball dur- ing the winter. Aerial darts, badminton, tennis, and softball were altered in the spring. b The Girls' Athletic Association is one of the most vital as well as one of the most lun-loving clubs at West High. Did you ever see stars hanging from a gym ceiling? These girls did - in lact they hung them up for their Sadie Hawkins dance, The Autumn Rustle. The biggest thrill in their lives was award day. Then their efforts were rewarded. Arlene Loeber got a senior letter, Janice Knapp, Joanne Plum, Marilyn Davis, and Pat Stevens got iunior letters. The senior letter is a navy-blue outline of the state, with the white initials G. A. A. on it. The junior letter has these initials on a large navy-blue l. The sophomore awards are red and blue W's: freshman awards, red and blue A's.

A rousing volleyball round robin tourna- ment went on during the tall months. Girls were allowed to participate in this sport. The winning team in fourth hour was Jerome Runlcle'sg winning girls' team was Jean Briclge'Ford'sg Bob Carney's team and Freada Patterson's teams came out on top in fifth hour. Carney's team was grand champion when they won over Runlxle's at the Boys' Club meeting. Basketball played during the noon hour lasted from December to March 18. The filth hour again won over the fourth hour period with Pete Joy's team versus Paul Strock's for A Club Meeting. Intramural basketball team captains lor fourth hour were Paul Strock, Dave Ochsenschlager, Paul Steinwart, Jack McNanna, Bob Swan, Hall Lieser, Beryl Varley, and Warren Rogers. Fifth hour team cap- tains were Pete Joy, John Harges, Colin Munro, Pete Krentz, Don Adams, Frank Consentino, and Ed Erhart. Aerial darts, badminton, and ping pong were the games played in the spring months. Both single and double elimination tournaments were held and champions decided in each noon hour period.
