THE SENIOR CLASS . . . l-low well we remember our freshman year when, confused and amazed, we became a part of West l-ligh. After the presentation of our freshman as- sembly, the first maior issue of our new career was the selection of class officers. We chose Al Seith for president: Ronnie Carlson, vice-president: and Anne Caughey, treasurer. Because of a tie, Ann Austin and Ann Bobo each served as secre- tary for one semester. Our varsity basketball team ranked third in the Sweet Sixteen tournament in '49, and we think we were very lucky to be a part of a high school with such a marvelous record. As sophomores we got growing pains and de- cided that the freshmen would look up to us. We added many extra-curricular activities to our pro- gram - among them were giving our fresh-soph dance, the Shillelagh Stompng campaigning and winning the issue of building a new West high: and practicing writing source themes. We elected Dick Little as our class president, Joyce Rolf as vice- president, Mary Jane l-ladfield as secretary, and Nancy Dabney as treasurer. Along with the thrill of becoming upperclassmen came many new extra activities and privileges. We presented the Junior Class Play, Our Miss Brooks, with Dolly Brence and Bob Schumacher taking the leading roles. Our Junior Prom, 'iMelody In Blue, was con- sidered a huge success. The silver and blue theme was carried out through the decorations and pro- grams. ln the fall we elected Bob Bergman to serve as our class president, Tom Meidell as vice-presi- dent, Sue Finley as secretary, and Dick Fletcher as treasurer. When nearing the end of our spring semester, and after careful political campaigns, we elected Bob Schumacher for our president, Scott Power as vice-president, Mary Jane l-ladfield as secretary, and Dick Little as treasurer. Along with the campaigning for class officers, came the Stu- dent Council elections. Al Seith, Tom Meidell, Roberta Steiner, and Dick Fletcher were chosen to serve as president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. Nineteen hundred fifty-two proved to be a doubly joyous year for the W. A. girls. Besides being their Senior year, it was also Leap Year. Maybe this is one reason the Senior Dance, the Winter Whirl, was so successful. No doubt the Christmas decora- tions had a lot to do with it, though. On February 29, Miss Reathel Bielefeldt, our Powder Puff Mayor, arrested Mr. Pinnow and two of our stu- dent teachers. Although during final exams many of us thought we were looking forward to graduation, all of us felt a little sentimental when we heard the first strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' Gayle Tre- main, Bob Schumaker, Al Seith reflected the opin- ions of our class in their graduation addresses.
