West Chester High School - Garnet and White Yearbook (West Chester, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1945 volume:

he Garnet and White has gone nautical this year. Since this is our Aloha trip, we invite you to come aboard and stand well up in the bow, for the Class of 1945 is outward bound. Anchors A weigh BECAUSE WE as Seniors are nearing the end of an important phase in our voyage through life, we have chosen a nautical theme as symbolic of our high school experiences. Just as behind the light, carefree, and perhaps irrelevant surface of this theme lie the traditions and beliefs upon which our country was built, so behind the gay and often frivilous exterior of today’s young people lie traditions and customs, instilled in us through our long, varied, and unique education. These customs and traditions are our heritage. We know that our rights and privileges as citizens of this country and this world are the things which make life worth while. What ever we do—wherever we go—there will remain with each one of us the guiding hand of our years at West Chester High School. Here in school, we have participated in a vast training course, not only in preparation for our own immediate future and vocations, but also in preparation for the multitudinous adjustments, compromises, disappointments, and responsibilities which will be ours to face in our gropings for a new and better world. Our classes have provided the background and the basis for our training,- our associations with students and teachers have taught us to stand on our own two feet—to hold on to our own ideas while respecting the ideas of others. Now, as graduation draws near and we know that school with all its joys and sorrows will soon be but a memory, our thoughts become serious, for suddenly we realize that very soon we shall be on our own’ and that we can depend only on our- selves. However, we need not worry, for our training here at West Chester High School has been of the best, and as we prepare to take our place at the helm of the world’s ship, we each can say, I am ready.’’ THE EDITORIAL STAFF Five Dedication • • • • FOR THE past two years, this year, and every year till victory, we proudly dedicate The Garnet and White to all those members of West Chester High School whose high courage is daily being demon- strated in the various branches of the service—on the land, on the sea, and in the air. As their number has been daily increased by the entry especially of members of the Class of 1945, so does our pride, respect, and inspiration increase here on the home front. May this sincere dedication express our firm resolve to be ever worthy of their sacrifices and to pledge our- selves always to the cause of liberty and justice—not only for our glorious country, but also for all the oppressed and freedom-loving countries of the world.

His big frame plus his team spirit made him a mainstay to our team as well as a terror to enemy ball-carriers. Earl Heald “Hinks ”, a stellar guard, was one of the mainstays in the Warrior line.

Thomas Shank Besides being the big triple-threat man of the Warriors attack and the defensive star from his line backer-up spot, Buzz was one of the co-captains. Oliver Founds Monk’s line plunges and passes were in a class of their own. He was not only capable of doing these ably, but was our other co-captain.

Jean Waltz Jean ’, the go-getting right wing, gave many a scare with her drives and dribbles. Louise Colesworthy Colesy”, a fighting fullback, was always right on the job, feeding the ball to the for- ward line. Leah Chandler Le-ah , our ever-ready left wing, kept the ball on the move rendering emergency aid. Beatrice Hicks Bea , with her aquamarine shorts, kept her stick down ready for any opposition. Mildred Polite Millie plays an important position, goalie, in which she has no chance to be polite.

The Garnet and White five then continued its streak and followed this up with league wins over Downingtown: 36-28, and Tredyffrin-Eastown: 41-36. Baa Bruno tallied 22 points against the Whippets while superior team play gave the winning margin against Berwyn. Pete Kellar s work under the backboard was also a big factor in these wins. The Warriors victory string came to an end when they played host and lost to a classy Pottstown team. The locals put up a great battle in the first quarter, but faded under the Trojans lightning floor play and received a 46-25 set-back. The Warriors regained their stride with a 45-26 triumph over P. S. Dupont and began another streak with a loop win over an improved Phoenixville: 44-35. “Bob Penny sparked the attack in the Phoenix game with 12 points. A blistering 3rd quarter rally enabled W. C. to repeat over Media: 47-34 “Bob Penny and Newman Wise s floor work plus Al Bruno s and Jack Erb s shots were too much for the visitors. The Warriors then had their second meeting with Coatesville and, in spite of Lou Anderson s 24 points, superior ball handling and control of the backboards gave W. C. a well-earned 39-33 margin. The Warriors followed this up with defeating Kennett Square for the second time: 34-27 and drubbing Down- ingtown again: 41-30. The game with the Whippets was hotly contested in the first half with the locals only ahead 18-17, but W. C. pulled away in the last quarter as Bruno racked up 21 points. The Warriors, experiencing an 'off night, were upset by a scrappy Berwyn five: 33-22. The ball just didn t drop in for the Warriors, but it must be said that T. E. was an improved team. The Garnet and White cagers closed the season by dropping their finale to Pottstown: 54-20. Bob Penny and Charley Young, both being seniors, played their last game at Pottstown. ☆ ☆ ☆ Junior Varsity The Warrior junior varsity quintet, although getting off to a slow start, showed improvement and turned in a league record of 5 wins and 5 losses, three of the latter being lost by only a few points. The Jayvees split even in all games with 9 and 9. Outstanding victories were extra-period triumphs over Coatesville: 26-25, and Berwyn: 31-28. Other important wins were scored over Downingtown: 24-23 and 25-12, Media: 26-19 and 32-30,- and another win over Berwyn: 35-27. The players consisted of captain Jack Fitzgerald, Hal Court, Luo _ Stathis, Jack Rodeback, Gene Fugett, Richard Good, Herbert Bellamy, Phil Kistler, Eugene Walton, Jesse Harewood, and Joe Strode. Coach.. . Managers HAROLD ALTHOUSE . . . .FRANK SEABOLT ...HAROLD MYER Fifty-five Baseball Coach..............W. HICKMAN Manager..........J. CICCARONE Won Lost The West Chester High School baseball team, under their new coach, William Hickman, got off to a good start in their first game with a 4-0 victory over Westtown. Pitcher Bob Ludwick hurled a no-hit, no-run game. In their first Surburban 3 game, to claim back the title taken by Pottstown last year, West Chester toppled Downingtown 6-2. Bob' Ludwick, who again was the winning pitcher, hit a mighty triple to climax the game. The line-up of the team at the time of this writing seems to be as follows: Jack Wise appears to be the steady catcher with Elton Deaver and Bill McDonnell as understudies. The pitching burden will rest on the shoulders of Bob Ludwick and Tom Macan, who plays second when not pitching. Harvey Roop was expected to share the pitching burden, but on the eve of the opening game he left for the major league. First base will be covered by Jack Erb with Jean Fugett and Jack Kenworthy in reserve. The Keystone sack will be played by Jack Erb when Tom” Macan is pitching. The infield will be rounded out with Ike” Watkin at shortstop and Franny Lee at third. The outfield will consist of Chuck McDonnell, Baa Bruno, and Bill Shank. Rod Loper, Charlie Haverstraw, and Bob Ludwick, when not pitching, will substitute in the outfield. Fify-S'x Cross Country Captain............W. Richardson Coach R. Urich The West Chester High Cross Country team kept up its good work this year. Paced by its captain, Warren Richardson, who won the majority of the races, the team had a successful season. Those who participated on the team were: Back, left to right—Thomas Truitt, Loran Yetter, George Stetson, Warren Richardson, Lucius Blount, Ralph Wickersham. Front—Carl Durnell, Dewitt Luff, Joseph Jones, Leroy Witcher, Ernest Belt, Eugene Hughes, and John Richardson. Track Manager............C. Harewood Coach............H. I. Zimmerman The track team got off to an early start and came in second, against top competi- tion, in the Suburban relays held in February. At this writing, the Warrior track team seems to have a good chance of retaining its winning record as in previous years. Girls’ Basketball Coach..............MERCEA SNOW Senior Manager........C.

Whether winning or losing, these seven kept the stands ringing with cheers urging our team on to victory. In all kinds of weather our cheerleaders were on hand to back the team. Both Mrs. Haupt and the peppy seven are to be complimented on their faithful service. With Never say die as their motto, they kept the spirit of the game very much alive.

MEMORANDUM This voyage terminates another year So to you, the past, good-night, my dear. GLORIA MINICH GEORGE STETSON Sixty-five Shooting the Sun AS THE Good Ship West Chester leaves the New York harbor, we wave goodbye to friends on the pier,- but our thoughts soon turn to activities aboard ship. The trip should prove exciting because there are many famous people traveling to Europe this season. On our way to our cabin we pass the captain, Robert Hurlbrink. He is talking to the famous New York dress designer, Anna Mae Davis. Of course we don t mean to eavesdrop, but we can t help hearing that they plan to have an entertain- ment aboard ship. The first meal brings us together with our companions for the next few days. It is so nice that we picked a pleasure boat that will get us to England in six days instead of one of the speedier boats! At the captain’s table we see Earl Heal and David Knauer, who are going to London on law cases. Near the center of the dining room are several teachers who are going to tour Europe this summer. Among them are Dorothy Hicks, Jean Waltz, Beatrice Hicks, and Betty Hibberd. Our attention is directed toward the door as Nancy Erb enters. To think that she planned the decorations for this room! Dorothy Frey and Carolyn Jackson helped with decorating the rest of the ship. An impromptu hockey scrimmage is to be staged on the games deck by the em- minent hockey coach, Fay Reifsnyder. Jane Schloegel is starring on the team. Although we have only been on board a few hours, the evening s entertain- ment has been well-publicized. As we go into the lounge, we see Donald Williamson snapping photographs of the participants in the program. Lets take our seats,- the program is about to begin. The lights go up, and the captain steps forward to close the program. Nancy Graham has achieved great success in the clever skit written by Mary Jo Dodd. The supporting cast included Leah Chandler, Bill Prutzman, Frank Carleton, and Jesse Meredith. The music was composed by Marie Englund, while Dawn Fahrney soloed on the violin. The storm warning is out! Our voyage is hazarded by a gale coming from the northwest. The ship's doctor, Jack White, is seen hurrying to aid distressed passeng- ers. Being brave, we venture on the top deck. Henry Luedecke and Stephen Elinsky are watching the progress of the storm. They are those two famous chemical engineers who are helping with Europe’s construction. They are joined by Charles Young, the brilliant Marine engineer, who planned the boat. He seems unruffled, so we must not be in danger! The storm has passed, and we once again see people on deck. On the recreation deck Carol Renshaw and Tony Rittenhouse are playing shuffle board. They are traveling abroad to practice their French. Sixty-eight Before we leave the boat, traveling information is given out by Helen Wayne and Jeanne Aaron, the competent typists in the offices. Betty Anderson is secretary to the captain. Although we part when the voyage is over, several of us continue to visit a former classmate in London. Gillian de Sabran, the famous London actress, is hostess to Betty Ann Tate and Jeanne Rettew. For a few, brief, happy days we of the Class of 1945 are brought together on our trip, but at the end of the voyage we part on our various paths of life. We hope we may sometime meet again to revive the memories of the past. LOUISE COLESWORTHY MARY JO DODD CATHERINE DREISBACH Sixty-nine Off Duty . . . , . Seventy Seventy-one Sealed Orders V E, THE celebrated Class of 1945, being of indisputable intelligence and lofty vv integrity, and desiring to relinquish various authorities and talents, do hereby set forth our last will and testament.

The commercial students will Mr. Fisher to the Class of 1946. To this, our last will and testament, we set our hand and seal this 16th day of May, 1945. President: CHARLES YOUNG Wintesses: NANCY GRAHAM ROBERT GRIEB ROBERT PENNY Seventy-three This school year of 1944 and 1945 has been important to the world and to us. Perhaps it has been more important to us as seniors than to others, for we are just beginning to participate in world affairs as citizens of America and the world. Of all the world-shattering developments of this year the death on Thursday, April twelfth, of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our much beloved president, will probably be remembered most clearly. For to us, the young people of America, in whom he was so much interested, President Roosevelt was a true friend as well as an inspired leader. Most of us can remember no other president; and this fact makes us feel that much closer to him, for it was President Roosevelt who guided this country in depres- sion, in peace, and in war for all the years during which we were preparing to take our places in the world. Out of our grief and shock at his untimely death, we, the citizens of tomorrow in whom he had so much faith, may well pledge as our memorial to President Roosevelt that he shall not have died in vain, but that he shall see the fulfillment of his dream of one world united in lasting peace.

We have had such fun aboard ship. Now that we have reached shore, we are sure that in future years our log will remind us of the good times we have had with our shipmates.
