Probably at first, you had to look twice to recognize the Great Emancipator in the draped toga of Roman days. A noble model-the straight forward honest gaze of his eyes seems to seek out the best that there is in us--to inspire us toward better things. ll Penseroson only remembers the happy hours he spent in quiet, thoughtful meditationf his more light hearted friend recalls the various programs lmostly the more amusing ones! and Wishes We had had more. The observing freshman still gazes with ad- miring eyes at the murals on the wall. And the naughty-Well, they remember the hours spent in serving out detentions during exams. Nb g,rt These venerable lockers have housed the belongings of West Division students for two score yeors and one . . . Unusual-the second floor corridors empty of busy rushing students fand not a scrap of paper in siqhtl. No Wonder-it was Saturday. 4? Do you remember that bitterly cold Winter? Ot Coursey you probably had many unpleasant experiences to help fix it in your mind-a frozen nose and ears, nipped fingers, numb feet-Many a morning you patiently plodded through deep piles ot frozen snow to reach the school- x Skqf tri in . ,lr :ll Ky f 1 XJ , ff X5 The simple beauty of an everyday scene! 7 The SENIORS Charlotte Arndt-Char lotte was rather quiet and shy, so she had few friends-but these friends were steadfast and loyal, Robert Barr- True to his maid, his work, his friend. Ethel Bauer- Wearing her wisdom lightly like a flower. Hazel Beaver - The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct and the hand to exe- cute. Hazel was the first girl in the history of West Division to up- set all tradition and cus- tom to become class president. Irene B e c k - lrene's keen wit, her g o o d scholarship and pleas- ant friendliness m a d e her one of the nicest girls of the senior class. lane Benson-lane was one of the most popular girls at West-her form- ula? A smile and a cheery word for every- one. E161 Henrietta B o t t o IH s - Henrietta was one of the sweetest of West's graduates. Her bright red hair and her laugh- ing eyes always made her the center of attrac- tion-of either sex. A n g e 1 i n e Cerniglia- Angie was always somebody's girl friend -and a right swell girl friend to have, too. August Cramer - Hear tell that Augie is tall, dark and handsome and the answer to a certain fair rnaid's prayer. Wonder who? Robert Dahinden - Bob was rather quiet, but his tastes ran somewhat towards the Comet staff. At any rate, many a time was he seen in the fair company of one high up in the business end of the paper. Iohn Davies-Big, blond johnny - football man, track man, basketball man and ladies man- iust an all 'round man! David Dorcey-The Lib- erty's business has s h o W n a marked im- provement since th i s former member of West's Big ll took to ushing there - n e e d we ask why? Ann Duffy - She does all the small things most of us leave undone. Ted Edler-Ted had a car, blond curly hair, and was a football man. So what else is there to say? Leslie Eubanks - Leslie was Mr. Kurath's right hand man, picker-upper putter-downer and shhl don't tell - he even wound the clock! But, besides that, he was one ot the nicest boys of the senior class. Mary Evans - Small, vibrant, peppy - that's Mary, She touched this, dabbled with that, and picked up this-in truth, one of West's most ver- satile young ladies. U73 Mary Gagliano-The lit- tle, pretty brunette whose ambition it is to be somebody's private secretary someday. Virginia Gallagher - Slim, quiet, charming- Virginia was the per- sonitication ot every- thing a young lady should be. Roland Gehl - Tall, good looking, Roland was the reason tor sighs on the part ot West's fair maids and Gee, how l'd like to know him better! Erna Goehre-Shy, 're- tiring, nice. Erna al- ways had her lesson done, and done well. Robert Harder-Bob was a quiet sort ot chap, but what he lacked in conversational ability, he made up in being one of the few fvery tew, let it be saidl German whizzes at West. Ronald Heiderick - He worked in the cafeteria, he worked in the book- store, and now, out ot school, Ronald does more work-jerking so- das! l13l loe Hemerle-joe was one ot these strong, si- lent men that all girls appreciate. Lucille Iacobson - One of the top notchers in the typing world at West: who knows but she-'ll be a champion some day. Violet Iohann - Violet was always signing out oi the main second hour. We wondered where she went. Rumor has it he was tall and dark- right? Dorothy Iordan-Doro- thy's smile was pretty, her personality pleasing, she had many friends- but this could go on and on and on! Robert Kendall - Bob seems to have a repu- tation for being the lady- killer ct this class. Any how, that's what certain reliable sources tell us. Paul Kinney-Paul was one of the smallest boys on the gym team-but what he lacked in height, Paul made up in ability. Alex Klimen - Alex tooted a ne-an horn in both bond and orches- tra. We predict Alex will go .tar in the world ot music. Alfred Klinq - Al was the most important hal! ol the announcement committee. Besides be- ing artistically inclined, Al was inclined towards Betty LeRoux, the gym team and football. Harold Klubertanz- Harold seems to have developed his persua- sive powers ot speech during his last year at West. In other words, he sold most ot the tickets tor the last senior play. Some going, eh wot! Robert Klubertanz-Bob has a yen to tly-not into rages-but in an airplane. He didn't ily much during his sojourn at West-he just took charge of the stage crew. l19l Henrietta Kopersky - Henrietta's taffeta gown was the envy of lat leastl half the girls at W'est as she rustled softly down the main aisle in assembly. tAnd we know there was one bale and hearty male who appreciated that gownl. Stella Kostopulos - Stel- la was the girl who had trouble with her French -but Stella had what it takes because she took French practically every semester. Betty LeRoux -The ar- tistic and decorative half of th e announcement committee. Betty was the gracious senior w h 0 s e talents leaned towards the artistic side and Al Kling. Alice Lindsay - lf you want to know what's new in the world of clothes - see Alice - for she was one of the best dressed girls at school. Rodney Martin - D'art- tagnan of West Side- and one of the best state fencers, to boot! Charles Martinec- Chuck was the keen dancer who danced his way into Mary, a fair maid's heart. Howabout it, Chuck? U01 Dan Mayer-Dan was stumped by geometry quite a few tirnesibut that didn't keep him down-it only aroused the good old Mayer spir- it, for he passed it a semester or two later. Allen McGovern-Allen was a versatile sort of boyea musician, a sci- entist and a banker- meaning he played drums in band and orch- estra. His ambition is medicine, and he was treasurer of his class. Virginia Merder - Vir- ginia was one of those girls whose neighbor came first. Anyhow, she got an emblem for it from G. A. A. Iames Mitchell - lim- mie was what is known as a swell kid -both by his boy friends and girl friends. Keep it up, limmie: that's something to be proud of! Beatrice Paulu - Bea- trice was just a home girl at heart, for she took and became proli- cient in the fine arts of domesticity. Robert Priebe-We won- der if Robert wasn'tt the reason all the girls had new shoes so often, for he worked in a shoe- store not far from here. Elvira Reichert-Elvira was the efficient moni- tor of the alcove. We'll bet a pretty penny she saw to it that all the desks were kept clean. Katherine Reis -- Calm, capable, conscientious. Katherine worked hard for Merrill, Merrill work- ed hard for Katherine- so both got results. Glenne Rowe - Glenne led quite a talented life at West. She wrote po- etry tor the Comet, won a Vergil prize, and kept up an excellent scho- lastic record. Katherine S ct n d e r s- Katherine had a reputa- tion ior being verra, ver- ra frank. But we know her remarks always were kindly. U11 Lorraine Scheuren-Lon raine sat in row 10 and always worried about her Comet money. But that didn't keep her from being elected to the honor society. Juanita Shields - Lit- tle, but oh my! Ethel Smith made a big hit in soci- ology-and vice versa. She made a big hit with her friends, that's why she had so many of them. - Ethel Yetta Sorkin-Yetta was a small package of vim, vigor, and vitality. She was keen on sports, her friends and even her studies. She must have been-for she made a 4 year course in SV2 years. Virginia Stower - Vir- ginia was shy, quiet and had a pleasing smile and a pleasing personality. That's why we all liked her. Madelaine Stroth er- Madelaine was the girl who knew so much much about the how's why's and wherefore's of all the books. How come? Simple - she Worked in the library. t22l Mike Talitsicas-Mike's black hair was the envy of all the blonds in the school. It was so thick and black and always looked just so. lacob Tellierflacob was one of the nicest boys of the senior class, quiet and retiring tho' he was. A steadtast wh e el in the orchestra on whom many a good symphony depended. Walter Trost - The big blond fellow who was the main-mast, balanc- ing wheel, and back- bone of chess and checker and camera clubs-also Mr. Moe's secretary. Louis Trubshaw - The tall, handsome captain of the swimming team with a broad smile and a flashy car. Milton Wahlberq-Mib ton was here an extra semester - however, Athena rejoiced for he filled that empty treas- ury to the brim. Don Weber - Don was responsible for t h o s e sl u r r i n g syncopated songs the jazz b a n d plcfed - he tooted the sax! Dave Wollack - D av e was responsible for many a quip and pun on a main program or two - that's why We were so sorry to see him go. Freda Wolz-The popu- lar prexy of Athena who was a good friend, a good student, and a good officer. U3 HAZEL BEAVER Hazel Beaver--quiet, modest, efficient, serious when occasion demands-qualities every girl should be glad to possess-the only girl ever to be elected president of a senior class-an ex- cellent scholar, a fine main monitor, an efficient library worker -a national honor society member-a favorite among her classmates . . . lust a few reasons why Hazel was so capable as a class president and so popular with her classmates. February Class For the first time in the long history of West Division, a girl was elected president of the February class of l936. Hazel Beaver proved to be one of the most efficient preident West has ever had. The class elected Ethel Bauer as vice president and lane Benson as secretary. The offices of treasurer and sergeant-at-arms was filled by Allan McGovern and Robert Priebe. Ethel Bauer, the popular vice president of the class, stepped out with first honors. Iohn Gay- lord ran a close second, and Hazel Beaver, third .... On the evening of Ianuary 24, the stately old halls of West Division were transformed into a bedlam of commotion and noise. Students and teachers were found running up and down stairs, through the tunnel, and into the attic, hand in hand, laughing and out of breath. A treasure hunt, the feature of our senior party, was in progress. The party was one of the most success- ful ever attempted. Faculty and students joined together for one last good time .... The scene has changed to one of pomp and stateliness. Parents and guests are crowded in- to the auditorium of the Girls' Technical High School. At last the orchestra begins the entrance march, and rows of now very solemn and digni- fied young people, in gray caps and gowns, file to their seats for the all-student commencement program. Through the mind of each student fash various thoughts. We have arrived at the cross- roads for the first time in our young lives, a point Where we are finished and also about to begin. What lies beyond? FEBRUARY CLASS OFFICERS lane Benson, Ethel Bauer. Hazel Beaver, Robert Priebe, Allan McGovern. f24l RICHARD lACQUES Richard Jacques-cool, capable, conscientious, persistent, and personable-what better qualities could anyone possess than these? Admired and respected by his teachers, possessed of a grand sense of humor,-a tremendously hard worker-eager to know and to understand--unembarassed in admitting a failure to understand . . . Quiet, but forceful and willing, Dick presided over the June Senior Class. He displayed keen judgment in his selection of associates to assist him in the management ot the class. He was a brilliant scholar, an excellent main monitor, and an active member oi Latin and Science clubs. His cool, unhurried move- r ' t h mon sense ments and speech were outwa.d signs o t e corn which made him an excellent leader. June C The graduating class oi l936 elected Richard Iacques, president, Iirnmy Bruins, vice president, Ruth Kerskamp, secretary, Art Schneider, trea- surer, and Theodore Tanin, sergeant-at-arms. The class conducted its meetings in a very orderly fashion, even though there were many heated arguments on questions pertaining to graduation. There was a battle over caps and gowns, yet when all was over, it was discovered that caps and gowns had won by a very large majority. The president appointed committees which were capable and efficient. Under their super- vision, the graduation was planned and managed. The social committee, headed by George Haasl, managed the social affairs in such a manner, that the class celebrated its graduation with much enthusiasm. The success ot the com- lass, mencement program was due to the committee headed by Otto Schultz. As its gitt to the school, the class presented an original Audubon print. The picture was selected by Eleanore Woller and her committee. As graduation drew near, the graduate be- gan to think seriously ot his graduation. Re- views began, but little studying was done. Clothes were bought, caps and gowns were fitted, the long-heralded Annuals were distributed, senior announcements, programs and tickets sent out- and then exams. Eve ot graduation. Marching sedately with serious looks on their faces, betore proud parents and relatives, the long line ot graduates tiled in after the procession, honors were read, and, as each student walked across the stage, he received the diploma which closed his high school career. lUNE CLASS OFFICERS Ruth Kerskamp, Richard Iacques, Ted Tanin, Iimmy Bruins, Art Schneider l25l Grace Asti-This slim dark eyed miss was one of our most decorative and efficient cadet cap- rains. Helen Atsch-Helen was one of Athena's most relied on speakers, a capable m ain monitor, and she is just as sweet as she looks.

Virginia Carbis - Vir- ginia got a big kick out of school, what with Reinhardt dogging her trail and she so petite and dark.

Seek Wise counsel and give to it most careful consideration, for you soon must determine what you are going to do. The use that one shall make of himself is the greatest single decision of a life-time. For the most part you have done your Work Well. We congratulate you on the successful completion of this task and extend to you our best Wishes for the future. Above all, remember that your old school is fond of you, be- lieves in you, and desires to help you in the life that is now ahead. A. C. SHONG. lf46l The annual exodus is again at hand. The breaking of home ties always brings some sadness, for with it Worthy friendships often terminate and happy associations frequently end. The factual matter of dates and events, grammar and graphs, tables and test tubes may soon be forgotten. The caravan of real treasure which you Well may need in crossing the desert are your experiences in straight thinking, in working agreeably with other fellows, in recognizing change, and in adapt- ing yourself to change, and above all, in sensing the beauty of heaven and earth so that the crossing may be joyous.

I C 'U , , Courtesy, efficiency, dependability, co- Maln Off!-Ce orkers operation those are a few of the qualities which make good office monitors. Some of their duties are filing, checking absences, answering phone calls, and directing visitors. To become an office Worker one has to be recommended by the teachers. Office Work offers excellent training for the girl who intends to follow a business career, because there one learns to be prompt, courteous, and efficient. Office monitors must always be ready to be of service. They forfeit at least one free period a day. Recognition is due, there- l fore, to those who so unselfishly give their Miss Manning, Miss Schintqen time for the Welfare of the school, f54l Tb Q STUD l HOMEROOM 3 I. Mead, R. Latch, R. Alto, R.

As a result of the four de- feats in nine starts, their record does not appear very impressive, but their margin of defeat was only lV2 points. This team contained everything. lt had good shots, stellar defensive players, height, and some very small but scrappy youngsters. Above all, Coach Gerber had every reason to be proud of his Captain, Iimmy Reavely, who earned a berth on every writer's all-city team. The Redmen got off to a bad start by dropping their initial tilt to South by one point, but they came back in the next two games to trounce se- fS3l verely Tech and Bay View task Taritas and Holz- schuh paved the way.

The Redmen again rode the victory trail by subduing Custer as Wutti and Billings starred, but the following week old Lady Luck laughed at our boys as Lincoln sank a free throw with 10 seconds to play for another one-point victory over the Redmen. ln the next two games, the West Siders out- fought Iuneau 23-16 and annihilated North 43-26. However, in the final tilt, the boys in red lost another thrilling one point game to East, 23-22. f clerk Mulvzm ,le-Im Ilwxxmui. l.:rx'wtvm'e Luv. lt-,hurt Khin Fir! F ll .luv 'IL-tk.l. lim Kuwgul.

Qx With only one experienced fencer in the lineup, West's second year in competition was not as successful as the first year, but Coach George Wittich succeeded in getting into shape a formidable team for next year. The only dual meet of the season was held With Marquette High. In this meet West easily demonstrated her superiority by Winning 12 bouts to 4. Due to the graduation of three veterans in February, no more dual meets were scheduled. The old- timers who graduated were Rodney Martin, who placed second in last year's state meet, lohn Borchardt, and Paul Kenney. Although West did not again win the State High School Fencing tourn- ament championship, the team made a fine showing. lack Martin, cap- tain, won the individual title for the second consecutive year. Last year lack Won the title from his brother Rodney on points, but this year lack Won on both bouts and points. Peter Wendt got into the finals but failed to place, Lawrence Lutz, the third West man in the senior division, was held back by lack of experience. The fencing team is very fortunate in having Mr. George Wittich, a fencing master, as coach. He has taught fencing for the love of the sport.

Coach Erv Gerber pi- loted the Senior squad to an overwhelming victory over North for the City title. They won by 68 points. Captain Kuchler led the individ- ual scoring for the sin- gle title with 96.5 points out of a possible 100. Six o t h e r Westsiders followed in this order: Bob Becker, Steve Kie- fer, Iimzlzleavely, Louis Mueller, Adam Vogel, G e o r g ef Vogel, and George Carley. The Freshman-Sophomore victory was a surprise. The West team defeated a strong North team, the defending champs. The boys instrumental in this victory were Edgar Stamm, lack Schimmel, Leslie Peterson, Charley Marx, Bob Dieringer, Mike Kejwan, Richard Kloster, and Bob Ledin. ml ,M ftxqnkge lt W , ' jk,-SR, UVM '1'li.X,5l -- Lfl'I'Y'4.fHAM PIUNS 1533-,tli 'r ,,., u r:,..:t-,ful 1 . .A .. ,. ,. , . ., .. - FROSH-SOPH GYM TEAM-CITY CHAMPIONS 1935-36 Top Row: Carroll, Barnes, Kilmer, Brown, Glocka, Adams, Schmidt, Fulop.

One of the early vic- tories of West was Lincoln of the city conference. On account of financial conditions and the distance of the links from the school, only a few boys were able to compete. Among the regulars on Coach Howard Aker's golf team were George Carley, Bob Peterson, Russell Egget, Ned Winch, Wilson Leeman, and Iack Miller. Another boy, George Tice, saw a little action last year and will be the only boy from the squad back next year. Golf is fast becoming a major sport and along with tennis will soon be one of the most popular athletic activities in the school curriculum.

Row 2: Bill lohnson, Iohn Kejwan, Charles Vogel, Chester Girard, Chester Strasser, Merton Vogel. Tennis As this was the first season that tennis was recognized as a city-wide high school sport, West did no more than build for the future. A newly or- ganized round robin tennis schedule between all the city schools brought Coach Ioseph Doyle's team against all the best teams of the city. Most of the boys were inexperienced and lacked suf- ficient practice to compete with the top notchers of the other schools. However, Merton Vogel and Tom Destelle distinguished themselves by winning many double matches and entered the semi-finals in the Shorewood invitational meet. Other regulars of the net squad include Adam Vogel, Iohn Kejwan, Bernard Evelove, William Casey, Edwood Weisfeldt and Iohn Holzschuh. The last two mentioned are the only ones who will be back next year. West also has a prom- ising candidate in Peter Wendt, who was ineli- gible for his first semester at West. 9 'yr Swimming West's mermen this year were faced With the same old prob- lem as that of the past seasons, that problem of not having a swimming pool. Each Tuesday and Thursday the swimmers had to Walk down to the Highland Avenue Natatortum for practice. In spite of this handicap, Coach William Hansen was able to pre- sent six varsity and one manager's emblem to the team. The most outstanding of these emblem winners was Captain Don Ramaker, breast stroker. Don won a long series ot races in dual meets and was only defeated by Ristow ot North in the City'rneet. Other lettermen were Louis Trubshaw, Charles Kuchler, George Carley, and Ned Winch, tree stylers, and Iames Temple- ton, breast stroke. The manager's letter went to Iohn Kastner. As only one letterman is to be back, the outlook for next year is not so bright. Those who saw a little action this year and might team up with Templeton for next season are Gleisner, Murphy, Schneider and Dagleish.

Cross Country Winning the State cross country individual championship was the only outstanding feat turned in by the harrier squad the past SSCISOII. There were two veterans, Paul Hassett, Captain, and Sammy Cohen. The remaining members of the squad were Eugene O'Brien, Frank Bastian, Gus Beskow, Warren Badmer, Morris Fagin, and Henry Worrnan. Out of three dual meets, West was victorious in only one. That was against Wauwatosa by a 21 to 34 score. Hassett and Cohen finished first and second respectively. West lost to East, Lincoln, and Washington. Hassett took first in all these meets except the Washington affair, in which he was beaten by a foot. West sent two boys to the Midwest meet at lanesville. In this race Hassett took third, and Cohen took sixteenth among the 135 boys running. In the City meet West placed fifth. Hassett, the defending champion, took second behind Stutson of Washington. Both boys raced neck and neck for the two miles with Stutson just pushing himself ahead at the end. A week later Captain Hassett took revenge by beating Stutson for the State harrier title for the second straight year. In this meet West took fourth. fggl Captain Paul Hassett -ff 4, ,L,A..l ,- .NK I Bruins n Sokoly Cohen Milazzo Track Only three lettermen of the Redmen team were available for the 1935 campaign which brought some lean results in the big meets. These men were Captain lohn Davies, crack hurdler, Paul Hassett, miler, and George Ziemer, sprinter. The heavy scoring was left to the newcomers led by Iarnes Bruins, hurdler, and Ioe Sokoly, sprint- er. Other newcomers who stood out were Sammy Cohen. in the half mile, Howard Chenow in the mile, and Tony Milazzo in the 440. Bruins and Sokoly led the way to a victory over Lincoln by the score of 70-l!3 to 42-2!3. ln the other dual meets West lost to Washington and to the Lawrence college freshmen. They took second in a triangular test with Washington and North. ' ln the Waukesha relays West made an impressive showing by taking an unex- pected third place. The only cup West brought back was for winning the half mile relay, with a team composed of Wild- rick, Bruins, Davies and Sokoly, but they took second in the four mile relay, third in the 480 shuttle and 440 yard relays, and a fifth in the one mile baton race. The State meet was dis- astrous for West as the only points were garnered by Bruins in the hurdle and Sokoly in the 220 yard dash. The City meet results were more like those of a West team. Bruins placed in both hurdle events, Sokoly took third in the 220, Nowak and Milazzo plac- ed in the 880, Kling took a fourth in the broad jump, Bill- ings tied for fifth in the high jump, and the half mile relay squad took fourth place.

For 600 points a girl is awarded her first em- blemp with 1200 points the second emblem is earned: for the third emblem 1800 points must be attained. Unfortunately this year no girl has attained the third emblem. This award has been earned by only four girls in the history of the G. A. A.

But, of the forty, only six girls were able to win the much sought for emblem. West's mermaids found their greatest glee in the swimming meet. Races were held in all styles of swimming. Betty Danielson proved her swimming ability by winning the meet. She had fine form in all form contests, races, and dives, and came out ten points above her nearest rival, lane Snead. Gwen 'Precourt and Iulie Bruins took third and fourth places, respectively. The swimming meet was not wholly a contest of in- dividualsp the classes had a class relay in which the sophomores placed first, juniors, second: and seniors, third. Track West's campus was a busy place on the open- day of the three day track meet of G. A. A. The girls were out, each one doing her best to win. The meet was divided into the Freshman, Sopho- more, and the Iunior-Senior meets. The last day of the meet was as busy as the first, and the in- door events had spectators as well as those staged outside. The winners of each event in their class meet took part in the inter-class meet. Margaret Steuber, winner of the inter class meet, received a gold medal. Mary Gross, who received second place, and Florence Smith, third place, were presented with silver medals. Elea- nor Busacker, Mary Kusic, and Ruth Wilson Ie- ceived bronze medals. In the meet between classes, the junior won first, seniors, second: sophomores, thirdy freshmen, fourth. M. Gross, F. Smith, M. Steuber, E. Busacker. Top Row: M. Fruth, M. Steuber, R. Vollmer, G.

Baseball Home runs, double plays, stealing bases, and sliding into home were all a part of the thrilling games of the G.A.A. baseball tournament this year. Score-keepers were busy in the gym each night, keeping tab of runs, hits, errors, and assists made by each girl, while the umpire, who was usually Miss Peters, kept her eye on the ball. After many exciting games, the teams of Eleanor Busacker and Iulie Bruins were left un- defeated, and the championship game was play- ed between them. At this well-attended game Busacker's team carried oft the honors. The members of the victorio m were: leanor ,L 0 Wt, fwfkfi Busacker, Hildegard Bernardi, Florence Kraft, Nellie Korotkotf, Claris Kunath, Eleanor Meirott, Frances Thanos, Marguerite White, and Martrisa Winohradsky. The battle for second place was won by Mabel Brill's team over Iulie Bruins', leaving the teams of Bruins and Mary Zeman tie for third place. After consulting the baseball standings of each girl in the tournament, the class teams and all-star team were chosen, after which the bats and balls were put away tor the season, to the sorrow of the baseball enthusiasts.

Student response was almost perfect. Those who contributed were privileged to at- tend two plays presented by the ansors of the fund. The donations, together with a contribution from the P. T. A., made it possi- ble to purchase twenty coats. The party held Thursday and Friday pre- ceding the spring vacation was a great suc- cess. Dancing and ten acts of clownish vaudeville comprised the entertainment. The officers of the Association this year were: Art Schneider, president: Ned Kellner, vice-presidenty Amelia Zellman, secretary: Mabel Brill, treasurer: and Clifford Gatzow, sergeant-at-arms. l ACT1 mai: 7 f N ff if uf X. v J J.

Hesperia Hesperia has won most popularity this year through the lively debates characteristic of all its meetings. Under the leadership of Lorraine Radtke and Dorothy Oehlert, first cmd second semester presidents, a novel form of argument was introduced. Two symposiums were held, ex- cellent not only for the topics discussed but also for the argumentative powers revealed by stu- dent speakers. Impromptu talks and debates helped many students to conquer their shyness and lent humor to the meetings. ln addition to its debates, Hesperia has en- couraged a variety of activities. Music, in one form or another, was a feature of every program. Several dramatizations were featured, one of which was ln Hesperia Land written by Miss Mowry, a sponsor, and another was the Thanks- giving play First Thanksgiving presented in the Main Assembly. Colorful costumes and good acting rendered it a real success. To reward those who Worked diligently on behalf of the club, Hesperia offered emblems of varying de- grees of honor: chevrons to Sol Wexler, Lorraine Hadtke, lanet Knoblauch and Marcella Eisenberg: letters to Mary Sweed, Sol Siegel, Dorothy Oeh- lert, William Rubin, Leonard Mahler, and Eliza- beth Little. f9Sl iff HOME ECONOMICS Florence Schwalbe, Mary Ann Druml, Charlotte Andrasen.

The first meeting in the month is devoted to business: the other is social. The meetings are varied. Some are philanthropicp others are edu- cational or recreational. The Halloween party, the Christmas play for poor children, the Valen- tine party, the mothers' tea, the picnic, and our honor banquet are some of the Ways We keep our club girls busy. Science Club Science club caters to science-minded people because its object is to promote scientific knowl- edge. This year, visits to the Solvay Coke Com- pany and the Luick Dairy were made: and, at the meetings, chemistry, archaeology, and radio were among the interesting subjects discussed. As a treat, not only to the members but to the school at large, the club sponsored the Whistling Ranger, Mr. Gilstrap, and Mr. Cox, a member ot Admiral Byrd's last expedition. The emblem system continues to be a very im- portant teature ot Science Clubp emblems are given to members who have rendered good ser- vice to the club. Those upon whom first em- blems were conterred are Marie Harder, Dorothy Oehlert, Elvira Reichert, Ieannine Roth, and Mary Sweed. Second emblems were granted to Mary Canak, Gerald Dineen, Howard l-linz, Robert Pelcarske, and Lorraine Scheuren. Sirkka Bassi, Norman Herro, Leo Lichter, and Iohn Tivanovac received third emblems while Richard Iacques was the only one to receive the tourth emblem. Athena Athena steps forward! By introducing two new systems ot discussion, Athena has taken the initiative in tormulating a New Deal tor de- baters and debating societies, The symposium and panel discussions have been generally ac- cepted as the informal way ot discussing prob- lems ot the day in such a manner as to stimulate interest and the expression ot personal opinion. This informality has helped to bring about a closer union between club members and greater respect tor the other man's opinion. Thus the club is better able to accomplish its purpose of helping each member to speak with ease before a group ot people. The ettect ot the mechanical age on Arts, the ever popular question ot youth in the depression, a humorous debate entitled There ain't no ghosts, and race prejudice were only a tew of the sub- jects discussed in the past year. A new high in originality was reached at the mock national convention-held in Iune. Mem- bers were chosen to represent the presidential nominees and leading representatives ot the op- posing tactions with all the other features of a real convention. It is needless to say the conven- tion was a huge success. SCIENCE CLUB Leo Lichter, Iohn Tivanovac, Earl Felber. Eileen Dorsch, Sirrka Bassi, leanine Roth.

Norris Club Francis Conley, Iames Templeton, Iohn Tivanovac Donald Gilbert, Iohn Kastner Chiefly interested in producing leaders, Norris Club carried on its work this year with Mr. Aker as adviser. On Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m., in the comfortable club room at the Y.W.C.A., informal lectures were followed by spirited dis- cussions. The fall semester program consisted of discus- sion on two topics: etiquette and forming a philosophy of life. The second semester was spent largely in doing social work. Iohn Tivano- vac presided the first semester: the second semes- ter was unique because the club abandoned electing officers, feeling meetings were more in- formal without them. Activities of the year also included the usual Norris sweater dances at the Y.M.C.A., Christmas charity work at Soldiers' Home in conjunction with Welles Club and participation in Hi-Y acti- vities. , Merrill Highlights of Merrill's campaign for fun this year were the boy-girl mixer, where the refresh- ment table was the drawing card: the carnival, where fortunes were told and fortunes were made: the masquerade, where St. Patrick reigned su- preme: and last of all, the picnic. as usual the joyous ending of a hapDY Merrill year. The only innovation this year was the adoption of a point system leading to the award of em- blems, three in number. Eleven girls were pre- sented with these emblems at the end of the first semester. Lorraine Diel served efficiently as president and deserves credit for the varied program. H. Winding, M. Taylor, B. Fenno, D. Deuter C. Owen, E. Pflanz E. Noehre, L. Diel, M.

Election of officers, l-lorace's birthday, the oracle at Delphi, and the Olympics vied with the mirth of an initiation, a Roman Camera club is of special interest to those stu- dents who have made photography their outside activity and hobby. The principal aim of the club is to instruct students in the proper handling and operation of all types of cameras, and in the art of printing and developing their own pictures. During the year, meetings were devoted to demonstrations and discussions of various phases of photography. Some experimental work Was done in -enlarging and tinting pictures and in photography with X-rays. Recently a set of reflectors and photo-flood lamps was purchased by the school. The use of this apparatus enables the boys to do better Work in taking pictures of various club meetings, plays, and other school activities which are of interest to the student body. 51011 banquet, and the refreshments that always proved so inviting. lnformality, the keynote of Latin Club this year, was made possible by limitation of membership to the Cicero and Vergil classes, and by the management of our efficient and enthusiastic consuls, Ruth Hauser and Betty Bulger.

U ' 2 . . -f - Choir - V A blare of music amid the cheering and noisy confusion of a football game brought all eyes to attention as the West Division band stepped forth, dressed for the first time in their trim new uni- forms. They were greeted by a burst of applause, followed by a cheer as an intricate forma- tion was directed by Howard Hinz, drum major. The same enthusiastic greeting awaited the band members when they took their place on the as- sembly hall stage to present the annual spring concert. There, a delightful program of overtures and marchs was varied by a modern number, Mood Mauve , a novelty number, The Clock and the Dresden Figures, with piano solo by Elizabeth Berkenheiery a French horn solo by lla Rainier, assistant drum major: and a group of songs by the A Cappella chorus. The A Cappella chorus, a live and growing organization, has always been willing to assist at any program, blending its many voices in fioal beautiful harmonies. Its worth was further proven when the National Parent-Teacher Association selected the West Division band and A Cappella chorus to furnish the music at its spring meeting. The orchestra was not idle this year. Most of its efforts were directed to furthering musical ap- preciation in the graded schools, but long hours of practice were necessary to assure the perfect rendition of the overture which added much to the commencement exercises. The music medal this year was awarded to Marcella Eisenberg, concert-mistress. West Division's music department, as shown by the tournament standings, ranks high among those of other schools. Mr. Earl D. Rainier and Mr. Gola W. Coffelt are to be commended for their efforts. Both Mr. Rainier and Mr. Coffelt, in all music classes, are giving many students a deeper love for music and a truer insight as to its opportunities. .9 Orchestra Top Row: A. Iaqow, R. Krause, H.

Annual Staff and Editors' Office Ye Olde Sweat Shop! 1:1071 Comet Newspaper For West we will! With that motto in mind, the Comet newspaper, under the capable manage- ment of Editor Don Ramaker, has again come to the fore in presenting a series of interesting ac- counts of student activities during the past year. But just what goes on behind the scenes to make the Comet the finished and complete paper the students enjoy? All contributions received in the Comet office must be approved by either leanette Stottrop, Mary Ann Druml, or Marcella Eisenberg. Then one of the many expert typists makes a typed copy of the story. Eagle-eyed proof-readers scan the article for any possible mistakes and finally, Editor Eamaker gives it a headline and puts his stamp of approval on it. Excited activity prevails in the Comet office on Fridaysp for that is the final day for any stories to be accepted, heads to be written, and all proof- reading to be completed before the paper goes to press. On the following Monday, the galley sheets are returned for a final checking. On Tuesday, the Comet, now a finished product, comes back to be folded, preparatory to circu- lation the next day. With the aid of a skilled and competent staff, Editor Ramaker was able to make this year's paper one of the best. Handling the news assignments, leanette Stot- trop proved her abilitiy as news editor, While Mary Ann Druml efficiently took the position of desk editor. The sports page was capably edited by Paul Hassett, while Sol Wexler made an ex- cellent associate editor. The feature page was handled by Marcella Eisenberg, as feature editor, while all club news passed through the hands of Beatrice Erbach, club editor, succeeding Harry Levine in whom the Comet lost ot loyal Worker and friend. Handling money and subscriptions was the Work of Ruth Fischback, as business manager. Capably assisting her were Arlene Lodde as circulation manager and Pearl Murphy as adver- tising manager. This year's faculty advisory board included the Misses lane Cloud, Esther Milner and Florence Whittaker of the English department and Miss Lucy DeWolfe and Mr. George Carlson of the commercial department.

Students are chosen for qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. This year, at a faculty meeting, a committee, previously chosen, sub- mitted the names of those members of the Iune class whose class stand- ings and honor points earned made them eligible to membership and 29 students were duly elected by the faculty. These students received their awards at an impressive cere- mony in the main assembly, at which Dr. Edward Fitzpatrick spoke. Five members of the February graduating class had already been elected to the society. To Ethel Bauer, as a reward for high scholarship went the appoint- ment of valedictorian of the mid- year class. Hazel Beaver, class president, and Iohn Gaylord were awarded second and third honors respectively. Richard Iacques is the valedictor- ian of the Iune class with a four year average of 94.93. Sylvia Klenk and Norman Herro are second and third highest in the class, with averages of 93.82 and 93.60 respectively. Local Honor Society The Local Honor Society is com- posed of undergraduate students selected on the basis of scholarship. This year 17 juniors, 14 sopho- mores and 7 freshmen were elected to the honor society. Sol Wexler and Sirkka Bassi led the junior class. Gerald Camplin and Dorothy Ever- son had the highest averages in the sophomore class. Iohn Gruber and Rhoda Porter led the freshman class. Students on the local honor so- ciety for the first time received a bronze pin. A silver pin is awarded to the student who receives member- ship for the second time. lf a stu- dent is chosen in all three years, he receives a gold pin. Paeschke Award RICHARD JACQUES Valedictorian The Paeschke medal for outstanding qualities of scholarship, character, leadership and service is awarded yearly to the student most represen- tative of these qualities. This medal has been awarded for approximately iiity years--but com- paratively few know its unique history. In the eighties three business men, including Mr. Paeschke Sr., gave a medal to the outstand- ing graduating student of the Fourth Ward School. Charles Paeschke won this medal the year before the practice was discontinued. The year preceding his graduation from West i. S Q K Division, Charles lr. died. ln 1903 the senior Mr. Paeschke revived the custom of presenting the medal at West Division, awarding it in honor of his son. This year, 1936, the most outstanding member of the senior class is Richard Iacques-valedic- tqrian, president of the senior class, recipient of the Harvard Book for outstanding achievement ina English, capable officer ot Science Club, ei- ticient main monitor-friendly, clear-thinking, in- telligent and helpful-Richard is the embodiment of all the ideals for which the medal stands. Tl-IE AWARD MR. CHARLES PAESCHKE, SR. flllzl Cadets Order and efficiency reign supreme in the halls and corridors of West Side under the present cadet system. Students who are interested offer their services, and those whose qualifications permit are assigned posts. Conscientious, dependable, courteous but firm, the cadets offer a service, indispensable to the school. Eight captains, one for each period, were chosen by Mr. Aker, cadet sponsor, to direct the organization. The captains were Eleanore Lamb, Ida Lorman, Eunice Wilson, Iean Bowler, Grace Asti, Elizabeth Standfuss, Ioe Gasper, and Eileen Dorsch. A monitor's duties consist of: maintaining peace and quiet in the corridors, preventing students from leaving the school, and in keeping them out of the halls during class hour. E. 'VVilson, I.

Every student at West has heard it for months. lt ushers in a new day and a longing for that noon-tide meal. The mistress of that voice is none other than Irene Tooley, who has served so long and so faithfully. Now to get down to business- This cherry pie certainly is swell -Thanks to Mrs. Norma Meyers, our congenial and ever-smiling cook. Orchids are also due the cafeteria staff which has offered us such perfect service throughout the year. Most important of all, we owe a vote of thanks to Miss Isabel Baldwin, our hostess and dietician. While keeping prices down, she has kept spirits up with her varied menus. Top Row: I. Bruins, S.

Everyone knows that it will eventually end in the book store, an in- dispensable and important unit in the mechanism of West. The purchasers at the book store are efficiently served by West's own students who are chosen for their good scholastic average, honesty, de- pendability, and efficiency. Until the first semester of this year, the book store department was headed by Miss Ada Par- sons: but due to her illness, Miss lva L. Duden has taken it under her capable and efficient guidance, and has won praise and admiration of both stu- dents and faculty for her excellent work. To Miss Lucie Case, financial head of the book store, goes the honor for having made it a thriv- ing and profitable aid to West Side students. 51131 Eunice Banetzke, Georqiana Bilek, Aurice Lamphere.

A quiet and studious atmosphere prevails in the library at West Division, this explains Why it is the busiest and most frequented room at West for students and teachers seeking a quiet hour of study, of research, or of reading. Adding to the cheerfulness of the room, and brightening it even on dark and gloomy days, are the many potted plants found on the tables and shelves, while busts. and placques of famous historians, orators, and generals look down on student and faculty alike. On account of Miss Mary Tesovnik's excellent ability as librarian, she was granted a promotion to our Main library. Miss lsbel Stover, recent librarian at Girls' Technical High School, is now in charge of our library. Miss Stover is ably assisted by student librarians who were carefully trained by Miss Tesovnik.

The activities ot the organization were varied. its a yearly feature of the Council program, Miss Dorothy Enderis was presented a placque tor having contributed the most service to the city. Perhaps the biggest contribution to school Wide lenetit by the Council was vocational Week. This year a week was set aside for talks on careers and professions by persons well qualified 51143 to speak on vocations suitable tor high school graduates. The entire Weelds program Was ar- ranged under the capable direction ot Sol Wexler. A series of homeroom discussions on pertinent problems was arranged by the president ot the Council and the decisions ot these discussions promptly were acted upon. The presentation ot the gavel by the senior class to the junior class will be remembered as one of the year's most excellent programs. This program, according to custom, was also under the supervision ot the Student Council. With the election ot Council members tor next year, the l936 Council closed a highly successful term of ottice under the able direction ot Mr. Raymond McCrory, director of lite advisement. g l LoRRA1NE RYSTROM Soft lights, the delicate aroma of flowers, lovely evening dresses, sweet melodious music and shades of old Spain-West's annlualgigala event of the year, the lunior prom.
