R. Krug S. Kvasnica B. Ladwiq H. Lambro E. Leist A, Lenert l. Manders A. Matosian R. Mensing P. Metzker B. Moore A. Nares l6 Your reporter hears from a very good source that Robert Krug has still not re- covered from his trip to Chicago. Will he ever? News has just reached me that a member of the faculty once pronounced Steve Kvasnica's name correctly. The bringer of the news Wishes to remain anonymous. Flash! That bright streak of white which can be seen flashing about West has been definitely identified as Ber- nice Ladwig. A rush of teeth to the front! Now, here's a human interest story: Harry Larnbro blew his heart out- on the trum- pet. Iames La Mott's sad appeal on the football field is, Water B-o-o-y! lt has been proved that Michael Larson is not connected with his hair. He swears it happened one night. This department sel- dom advertises, but we are looking for a lullaby to sing Elsie Leist to sleep. This department does not go in for corny poetry, but my sponsor sends this in. Of course we must read it! There was a young lady named Audrey, Who never was known to be taudreyg She Lenert to knit like lickety split, This Lenert young women named Audrey. This is signed Bupulsive. Here's a West Side Kit for Robert Malm- auist who enlisted in the United States Navy. For information and pictures of Iohn Man- ders, l refer you to Cornet Annual l942 - He was just a little ahead of the number of credits he had! William Marcouiller was one of those who couldn't speak before the class without blushing! Exclusive! Ann Matosian took up the name, Queenie after coming back from the physic's trip to Chicago! Any connection? Ruth Mensing seems to have quite a fondness for her eastern exposure in the main. Ruth proved herself to be hep to the jive! Flash! Yes, flash is right - when speaking of those loud shirts and ties of Phil Metzker! Eddie Mikusk's motto for the English class seemed to be, Love thy neighbor -that is if he has the right neigbhor! Some of the boys told me that they thought there ought to be Moore girls like Betty. Sh! ls anyone looking? Wallie West Side knows that Anita Nares was one qirl who took all the Senior boys' money away from them S she was class treasurer.

Reports say that big john Greer was the other lawyer-that adds weight to their arguments. From all reports l find that Bob Groenert is a real sport in school, at work, and at playf one report on school, one on work, 898 on play. Margaret Hack- barth seems to be one of the few lucky people on whom your reporter has no dirt! Why is it that Sherburn Hein blushed so easily and went around with a red face? ls it just his complexion? Exclu- sive! Little blond Florence Heinzen has talked her way through four years in the English course. Wallie West Side believes that Gerald I-lelz had a new routine of living. lt is to work at night and let school and sleep fight it out in the day- time. You may have seen Betty Herro play the role of a black character in a Sock and Buskin play, but those who know her say she is as good as gold. Estelle Holtzman has come shining through to place herself in the coveted honor society. Andrew Ioun with his love for baseball really had a struggle to stay in school for these four springs. We've heard that Iohn Killian was one of the few who didn't worry about report card day. Iohn knew it would be like all the rest-twenty-four hours long. This re- porter is still in search of any teacher who has pronounced Victor Klemencic's name correctly! Some called Walter Koepp a jerk . His friends knew it was short for soda jerk . Marie Koester is one of many girls whose mind is on the sea-a sailor on the sea. Steve Komis just seems to be another lucky person whom Wallie West Side finds without blemish. Exclusive! Marguerite Kreger has a per- sonality not topped by many girls, and a soldier that is not topped at all she says. lt has been reported that one more loop and the knot will be tied! Why is it that lane Krueger could get the boys? Why don't the rest of you girls try a lasso? I. Greer R. Groenert M. Hackbarth S. Hein F. Heinzen B. Herro E. Holtzman I. Killian V. Klemencic M. Koeoter M. Kreqer R. Krueger 15 1

The activity of Victor Nelson must have been confined to arguing with his lawyer friends. Now he seems to be joining with Iohn Greer. Portrait of the valedictorian, Frank New- comb: A letter sweater calling, Football Tickets! The only thing that stopped Frank was the end of the season. Your reporter wishes to send a bouquet of flow- ers to Bob O'Keefe for the fine job he did in representing us on the Victory Council. Bob also served as assistant to Mr. Carlson. Flash! The reason you didn't hear much of Arthur Pavletich was his quiet, ostentatious manner. All fresh- men will find the meaning of ostentatious on page 629 of Webster's Dictionary. Now do you get it? Exclusive! Parry Paras took cooking in her senior year. This seemed to be a wise act for a girl like Parry. You can't fool your old Wallie West Side on a million dollar smile. Have you seen Doris Petersen's? Forcast! I predict that some day when you see a famous painting by Peggy Peterson you will be proud to say, l knew her while at West. ! V. Nelson F. Newcomb B. O'Keefe D. Petersen P. Peterson R. Pfeifle D. Phillips E. Homoser M. Rust M. Schmalzer F. Seltzer I. Seybold l7 1 Outstanding! Bay Pfefile has a name hard to pronounce, a record on the grid- iron hard to top, and a personality hard to beat! Like the gas Don Phillips is super. Who said that? Betty lane Beidy seemed to be the right neighbor for Eddie. -T-4. Because of war- time restrictions we are not allowed to include information in connection with another name. Heres news from the theatre front: Elizabeth Bomoser is al- ways prompt, but she needs prompting. Marion Bust seems to be allergic to what girls called their men of iron. You perhaps know that Walter Schmalzer's answers are usually quick! But then l've been told his second or third guess is usually closer. Bulletin! lt seems that Merle Seiy has taken a liking to large figures for a long time P- arithmetic fig- ures, geometric figures, etc. One moment out for an advertisement-Remember! One of the fizz kids, Florence Seltzer. Now to resume and continue. Conover take note! loyce Seybold is truly a girl with a big personality.
