We, the Class of 1955, dedicate the 40th volume of The Bend to Mr. Sam Cupery, the choral director in our School Town. It is indeed fitting that we should pay this tribute to a man who has contributed much to the cultural development of our citizens. His cheerful disposition and understanding have encouraged students to join the many choruses until today there are 354 members. Mr. Cupery's interest in creating outlets for musical talent has brought into existence the annual operetta and the Christmas concert. After graduation from Cambria High School Mr. Cupery attended Oshkosh and Milwaukee State Colleges where he ob- tained a Bachelor of Arts degree. Shortly after graduation he served as elementary school principal at Friesland, Wisconsin. Then. in 1948, he joined the faculty of the West Bend High School and became a teacher in our School Town. The interest he has shown in the students has reached be- yond the limits of the campus. On a crisp, bright, winter day or a hot, sultry, summer afternoon, Mr. Cupery can be found man- aging the concession stand at Regner Park where the students enjoy winter and summer sports. As an expression of our gratitude for his work as choral director, and for the inspiration he has given us to enjoy vocal music, we, the graduating class, are grateful for the opportunity to dedicate the '55 Bend to Mr. Sam Cupery.

Our IIUPLIS ten I think of the beautiful town Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old town And my youth comes back to me From the windows of the huge brick building of our School Town every resident has had the oppor tunlty to view an extremely impressive sight the eighteen acre campus of West Bend High School l1v ing vividly in the memories of evervone who has walked its paths From these windows come the sound of type writers clattermg in the commercial rooms the referee s whistle echoing in the gym the band playing at a pep meeting and young voices raised in song echoing over the spacious colorful campus revealing the life and activity of the students Much that 1S pleasant and relaxing surrounds the campus of School Town In the tall elm and oak trees on the northwest portion tr1ll the songs of birds The cooling shade of the trees offers comfort during warm weather When winter arrives the sounds change to the voices of students gliding over the ice on the pond filling the air mth jOV18l1tV Across the load adjacent to the school is a slop ing bank also covered with stately elm trees Here in warm weather the voices of teen agers can be heard noon hours and after school Here with laughter and gravity they discuss the happenings of the day 'lhe athletic fields to the south comprise half of the campus From Bruhy Field come the cheers of the crowd as the football team accepts challenges on the gridiron as the thmclads attempt to break track and field records From the baseball diamonds come the shouts of gym classes learning good sports manship Many a tense moment has been spent in these areas of the campus Every challenge instilled in us the ideal of fair play In the southeast corner the tennis courts are filled with voices and the thud of rackets and balls meeting The courts used not only by the varsity teams are filled at noon hours evenings and week ends with amateur tennis enthusiasts To many students the most beautiful feature of the campus IS the front view of the building The majestic blue spruce are the pride of School Town As their seasonal dress changes they become more beautiful and picturesque On the evening of graduation as the senior student stands to receive his diploma before him will flash v1s1ons of former days students sitting on the campus dabbing their brushes on canvas others gath ering biological specimens athletes doing calisthen tics practicing and competing v1s1ons which will were long and carefree And the trees that o ershadow each well known street As they balance up and dovxn Are singing the beautiful song Are sighing and whispering still A boys w1ll IS the wmd s w1ll And the thoughts of youth are long long thoughts Longfellow ,ff il.
