But, because of things you have said and done, we realize, With- out your writing it, that in leaving our school we take with us your best wishes for our future happiness and welfare. This year, because of unusual circumstances, it is we who would like to take the opportunity of here saying our farewell to our principal. . There are reasons why we, more than any other class, want especially to do this. We have something in common with you that no other class has had or will have. We both began West Division together. Although our class came in as inexperienced freshmen to an entirely new world, you came to an equally new World but you had had years of experience as a prin- cipal. You realized more than we that many problems would face us, and We looked to you for aid and guidance, which you gave gladly. We won't forget. Good-bye, and thank you. The graduating classes of 1944. 7 it f iii sl. Dear Mr. Shaeffer, It's a aueer feeling-this one of saying a welcome and a good-bye at the same time, but that is our situation at this moment. You have entered the office of vice-principal just as we are about to leave. We honestly wish we could stay and profit by your appointment. We know your story, Mr. Shaeffer, and it's a fine one to know. You began teaching at West as a young man. Students enjoyed being in your classes. Soon you were raised to the position of head of the commercial department. You held that office for many years. When we first came to West Division, it was not only in that capacity that we knew you, but some of us were fortunate enough to secure you as a teacher and adviser. We may not have shown or even realized it then, but now most of us who were in your classes would like to tell you how much we admired your quiet dignity. You never lost your temper. We marveled at your patience. When we heard about your appointment, we were happy for you. You were getting a bit of what we felt you deserved. That happiness had a tinge of selfishness in it, though. You see, we knew that the vice-principal has charge of the senior class. What we like best about the whole thing is the way you still smile and say hello to us in the halls. We can still talk to you and receive understanding and sympathy. Your dignity be- comes you even more, now. We congratulate you, Welcome you, and, with regret, say good-bye.

An Open Letter to Our Faculty When the 1944 class entered West, we looked ahead and saw four, long, dull, tiresome years of studying many subjects we never would use in our lives-or so we thought. lt seemed such a waste of time. Now, as we look back, it is incredible how fast those four years flew by. There was so little time to take stock. It took us nearly cr semester to be- come acquainted with high school lite. -I-ORENZ BAHR KATHLEEN BARNETT ESTHER BATTAU ESTA BOETTCHER MUSfC 3190115511 Mathematics Physical Education 'Those whqegdo, get.

Your duty was to teach every student a certain amount of knowledge. - We look back now and see ourselves in relation to the faculty through the four years. There were little things that happened that We never thought much of at the time. There were the free periods you gave away so that We. might have special help.

Vice-President Getting Sentimental Over You It is With mixed emotions that We, the graduating class ot Ianuary, 1944, leave West. To you who are left, we bequeath all the com- radeship, loyalty and intimacies which We enjoyed with our classmates and the many lite- long friendships which We formed. We leave to you the clubs, mixers, junior and senior elections, the prom, band, choir, drill team and the excitement ot football and basket- ball games. We ask that you try to retrieve Aloysius for West so that he may again smile upon all who pass by our trophy case. In West's roster We leave such names as Lloyd Hoseid, Nancy Vamvas, Rose Pinchar. Dan Benson, Clarence Hickey, Bob Zimmerman and Geraldine Leib. As a parting gift, We have left a War Bond to the school with the instructions that it be turned in after the War and that a bronze plaque be bought honoring those West Divi- sionites who gave the last full measure of their devotion that We might remain free. waz of ,aw First Second Third NANCY VAMVAS ROSE PINCHAR ROSE HEUBERGER Nafianal Afanaa Sealed-Alice McPherson, Dorothy Bock, Rose Pinchar, Edith Underberq.

Secretary Io Ann Creighton . . Treasurer Otto Schlapper . . . Vice President Pdemf TOM BANDELIN The End of a Perfect Term The music in the great auditorium flowed on as we walked down the long aisle. To us it seemed an un- ending march. The music told a story. We were leaving school. The choir's sweet songs at commencement brought back memories. We remembered the fun at the senior party, the excitement of the elections and the joys of companionship. As the music changed in mood, our thoughts changed. We recalled each little triumph which seemed so great. We could see again the brilliance of the Junior prom, and hear the music of the Crimson Cavaliers. There were dark moods in the music which recalled thoughts of detentions, of being tardy for the first time, or the difficulty of trying to understand people and intellectual ideas. A gay song took us back to contests on a muddy football field or a struggling battle on a slippery gym floor. Our heads lifted with pride as We thought of scores in our favor. We saw the faces of our com- rades, Votsis, Trad, Brandt, Norwood, and Kunesh. All were heros. The music of the orchestra accompanied our final exit from West. The pounding of our hearts was like the beating of drums as we finally crossed the plat- form to receive our diplomas. When that music stopped, our school life ended fading in music. 27 ALEX, FRANK- He's My Guy. Who said that? V ANDERSON, ANN- Moonlight becomes you: it goes with your hair.

There is satisfaction in watching a gridiron battle even it your team has not been placed in the first division by the experts. After school, every fall day, you watched Coach Erv Ger- both lead the boys through their various exercises. He paced them off, worked with the backfield, and then, the line. You marveled at the fine job Coach Gerboth was doing with the boys. Not expecting too much from the team, you were pleasantly surprised when it defeated Nathan Hale, in the first of two non-conference games. The following week a large crowd assembled at Wauwatosa to see if Aloysius could be regained. Fate intervened. West lost the game and the pig for another year. The only bright spot of the game was that forty-one yard gallop by Bob Zimmerman. With a bit of skepticism, you Watched West open the confejence play against Washington. Washington had too much of everything and you glumly watched West's team lose. The spirit and the pluckiness of West's team could not go unnoticed. At the following game, you shouted yourself hoarse as West rolled over Pulaski's eleven. You can still 70 Tired? ? ? ? see Iimmy Sroor run forty-four yards to a touchdown and Daley's brilliant offensive and defensive work. Giving the boss a story that you were ill was the only way you could see West play its only day game against its old rival, East Division. The weather was raw, the wind bitter, but you soon lost all thought of cold as West beat Riverside. You went home with a sore throat after shouting for Daley when he ran seventy-eight yards for a touchdown. Now your heart really was bounding with joy. The team was clicking, attendance at games was good: the band and the drill team helped you enjoy the games much more. In the game with Tech you were on your feet the entire time watching West roll over one touch- down after another. After that, you watched two evenly matched teams, West and South, battle fiercely to a tie. You thought that the best game of the year. In the closing contest against Custer, you sat in a downpour watching the teams struggle in a sea of mud. Custer sneaked by a touchdown and beat us. West ended the season in fourth place with three wins, two losses and a tie, the best record in four years. You were proud of Coach Gerboth and his plucky team. Truly 1943 was a successful season.

The Band Played On loc Raina You see him strolling through the halls flashing his well known smile. Who? None other than Earl D. Raisen, physics instructor and athletic director. I-le's an all around fellow who rates tops with the students. His willingness to be one of them cmd the informal man- ner in which his classes are conducted contribute to his popularity. W He's an enthusiastic fan at all ath- letic contests. He beams when We win, is sympathetic when we lose and is a true sport in every sense of the Word. Room 115, a gathering place for stu- dents before classes, is always buzzing with activity. There he leans back in his favorite chair, eyes sparkling and exhibiting that friendly smile. That mustache and short hair cannot be for- gotten. All these features belong to only one person, our beloved Doc. eaach Qeaiaffa ln September with Blues in the Night as his theme song, Coach Erv Gerboth looked ahead to a doubtful season. Although he had lost several of his assistants and experienced men from last season, through unavoidable circumstances, he managed to assem- ble a smooth-working aggregation. With this motto Anything I can do. you should be able to do better , he urged the boys on toward perfection in football fundamentals. When asked his opinion of this year's team, he said, Potentially our team was a very good one, but in our 'won and lost' column the story was different. Early in the season the team was loosely knit, and lacked fire and confidence. When the men discovered they had everything to gain and nothing to lose, they really took advantage of each opportunity. Everyone knows what happened after the Washington game. West can look at the record and be proud of its boys. im .mafeq West's nomination for the all-city team, as well as the conference-'s choice for this honor, was lim Daley. Taking advantage of a break given him in midseason a year ago, lim convinced everyone that the fullback po- sition belonged to him. The results of this year's campaign proved the point. Though quiet and unassuming around school, lim was the opposite on the foot- ball field. He sparked on defense as Well as offense and his seventy-eight yard touch- down run against East was one of the high- lights of the season. Because lim never lacked in leadership and was a true sportsrnan, he was chosen to be a captain of the 1943 squad. EGL ,gimmwwian That's Bob Zimmerman. This pose isn't the one in which We're accustomed to see him. A man of action rather than Words, he's more at home on a football field than standing before a camera. That smiling face gives Way to dead pan seriousness when he plays football. ' His interest for the game was so great that he learned all four of the backfield positions. and could play in any one of these in an emergency. To see him leaning there seems strange to us, as he's usually a bundle of action and always on the move. The student body was glad to hear of his nomination to the all-city second team, but regretted that he had missed the first team by one vote. 2541111 7eam .... Masking fqlang. 7ageUzm FRONT ROW-P.

As smooth as a concert, the drill team, Which, by the way, is the pet idea ot musically minded Doc Raisen, has been entertaining us tor six years. Its wonderful timing, excellent rhythm, and regular tempo have won the admiration of West Side's football crowds. The nine- teen comely lasses on the team spend many hours after school perfecting this Work, Rhythm rocks the stadium as the crowd swings and sways like an orchestra under the direction ot our six cheerleaders. With a spontaneous yell, the crowd gives out an earsplitting cheer. Cheerleading is not easy. lt's quite a iob to keep West Side's spirit up in the cold bitter autumn evenings. Let's give a great big cheer tor our cheerleaders. Strutting across the field like proud peacocks, the majorettes move with an even tempo. On the most dismal nights, they were there to add a little gayety and Warmth and to lift the spirits of the team and spectators. We've seen boys Walking through the halls, some in our classes and others in the Main, Wearing letter sweaters. We've wondered how they got those letters and who was responsible for giving the boys the emblems. What did they do to deserve them? The picture is a key to the mystery. The group which we see in deep thought is called the Athletic Association. They are a silent group until a sport season closes. Then they meet and go into action. Theirs is the difficult task of picking those athletes most deserving recognition. With the assistance of the coach and the athletic director, they pick the letter men from a large group of swell players. This athlete has served for a long time: that one played brilliantly: another played a good steady game. These abilities are taken into considera- tion. It is no Wonder that the members of the Athletic Asso- ciation seem perplexed. 7fze E 461714 'lsfauffin Un lawn E. Watnos, T. Eisenbach.

Scratching his head mo- mentarily, Coach Erv Ger- ber replied, With all doubt removed, l think that the Tech game was the best. The team clicked, the team Work was excellent, and the shots were in. Coach Gerber, what game stands out in your mind as the most doggedly fought for? persisted the student. l'm sure you will all re- member the first Washing- ton Qame. Here We were hopelessly outfought and outscored, we came back in the last quarter to take the lead, but lost the game in the last seconds of play. Boy, how can anyone forget that game! We Coach Erv Gerber 78 iumped up and down like kangeroos. But weren't there other high lights? Well , continued Coach Gerber, the Way we sur- prised King in two games and beat them in both sure- ly was a pleasure, espe- cially When they had height advantage of six inches to a man and a higher rating by the ex- perts. Then there Was the failure of East to put up a strong fight. ln the second game with Custer, our team also learned not to be over- confident, b e c a u s e the cockiness of the team near- ly lost the game.

Iimmy Votsis was recruited from the student body to coach the team and lengthy practice sessions were held after school. A student coach had never been tried before. Not only the young squad, but the young coach produced fine results in spite of uphill Work and many discouraging situa- tions. The experiment proved highly suc- cessful.

When the West varsity basketball team plays its last game of the season, the interest in basketball does not end. On the other hand, interest swells to a high degree, tor this is the beginning of the intermural basketball season. Here is the time when the fellow who cou1dn't make the varsity, but who thinks he has some skill in the sport, comes into his own. Each class is represented by a team that is coached by a member of the varsity. This year the second semester seniors Won the title. After beating the first semester seniors and second semester sophomores, they trounced the second semester juniors for the title. The games were always enjoyed. Capacity crowds appeared at each game, giving their individual teams a boost. Many of the players for the varsity team have been discovered playing in the intermural games.

Every night in the boys' gym, Coach Gerber put the boys through their paces. We all admire their graceiulness on the rings, bars, and mats. X This year's squad had only one letterman and several squad' men, returning from last year's championship team. Added to these Were several gymnasis Who placed high on the Freshmen-Sophomore team.

Coached by Erv Gerber the boys receive valuable training which pays off chiefly in their junior-senior years. Taking raw candi- dates straight from grade school, Coach Gerber drills them and trains them in such a way that championship teams are turned out regularly.

Although the sport has declined in interest ever since Iohnny Towle left school in l939, track has not entirely disappeared in the eyes of West Division sport followers. This is proved by the fact that close to one hundred boys answered the call of Coach Bill Smith for track candidates. - One finds it dangerous to pass through the halls of West Side after school during the months of March and April, for at this time the track men are doing the mile through Lover's Lane. The sprints pass the main assembly while the hurdles are run on the first floor. This year's squad was a green one, with only two lettermen returning, but under the able coaching of veteran Bill Smith, West again put up a good showing. As soon as weather permits, the track men go outside and exhibit their talents. Hats off ' to the boys who give their time to a sport not Coach B511 Smith as glamourous as football or basketball. 86 Top: Who? . . . Here We Go Again . . . Up, Up And Away Center: Buck1e DoWn . . .

Upon the slender but strong shoulders of the Board lies the iob of planning a schedule of different events to fill the school year. This schedule must be planned to satisfy almost every member. That in itself is a job which requires considerable Work and time on the part of each officer. In addition to the aforementioned duties, the Board, at the close of the season of each competitive sport, must total and average the points, gained or lost, of each member of G.A.A.

There was some- thing relaxing, in a rather noisy Way, about those get-togethers after school. The girls felt that after a hard straining day they needed something to pep them up and to make them forget their troubles. In the gym they exercised their tired cramped bodies and played ball the very best they knew how. Those girls knew the meaning of sportsmanship and de- veloped it to its highest degree. Volley- ball seemed to be very popular with the girlsg but why shouldn't it have been- it was loads of fun!

There was that personal satisfac- tion, also, in keeping the birdie in play, and the girls really put their whole hearts and souls into the game, plus a bit ot much needed energy. The muddy track caused by those April showers did not interfere with the girls' pleasures. They could play indoor base- ball, too. The open stage seemed to be the favorite place to hit the ball, but the girls made nothing ot this inconvenience. They loved Old Westside, no matter how many nooks, stages or balconies it had.

During the past year, the club has been busy making scrapbooks, rolling bandages for the Red Cross, and working on kits for West Division boys in the service. High lights of this year's activities have been recognition of new members, a Christmas party at the Y. M. C. A., tree trimming at Soldiers' Home and a Valentine party. Among the visitors and guest speak- ers at Welles were Mrs. Hallis, Girl Reserve Secretary, Mrs. Bell, the former Betty Bolger, a past president of Welles Club and Mrs. Squire who talked on Cadet Nurses, a subject ot interest to the girls.

Euripides, The Trojan Women, The Schoolmastern by Herodas, Iason and Medea and Calpurnia's Dinner Party were the plays presented. Talks on Sicily, Pompeii, the Naples area, Rome and Greece, illustrated by slides, have formed a part of the programs. During the second semester of this year, the club has met sixth hour because so many ot the members have jobs after school.

These boxes contained candy, cigarettes, soap, socks, gum, handker- chieis and many other useful articles. Henry Schwartz, the president, blushes shyly when the subject of his army nurse is brought up. Henry is still corresponding with the girl who re- ceived his Christmas package. Science Club held its Christmas party at Miss Weber's home. Everyone had a super time knocking down the Christmas tree, spilling cocoa on the rug and gorging himself on food. Every two weeks during the year, the members gave talks on topics oi scientific interest and even honored Radio City with their presence. Science Club has had a busy year. FRONT ROW-R. Shectman, I.

A movie star, musicians, and our own local talent were presented. They arranged one program with the lovable, laughable Rumpus Wizard, Iohnny Olson and Ioe lWest's Dizziestl Potzner. All these amusements in which you have participated were offered by the Student Council. The Student Council also sponsored the big War Bond drive in which the students raised forty-two thousand dollars for two Cornell trainer planes. This rally was spurred on by a com- petition between the main and homeroom shifts. The Council collected over thirty tons of paper every drive. We have raised over one thousand dollars from this paper collection. The return money from the paper drive has been given to Miss Davis for the kit fund. This kit, a cloth bag with pockets con- G taining a brush, comb, trench mirror, Lifebuoy soap Cthts was not meant to i ' be an advertisementl, soap dish, tooth paste, tooth brush, shaving cream, razor blades, and a wash cloth. Two hundred and sixteen kits have been given to our boys in the armed forces since the war started. ' The Council has been trying to raise the interest of the students in its activi- ties- They have been trying to get all the students' opinions, ideas and sug- gestions. A new law in their consti- tution prevents a student from being absent more than two meetings. As time goes on, the school is becom- ing more aware of the excellent Work ef this representative group.

A 101 Charlotte Demme, Associate Editor: Ioe lung, Editor Tucked away in a dingy niche off a corridor on the far side of the building is one of West's hardest--working organizations. This glorified closet is the home of West's newspaper, the Comet. The text book on high school journalism used by the staff states that the typical high school publication working with the average amount of efficiency contains two circular copy desks, a distributing counter. post office blocks, filing cabinet, six typewriters, the editor's desk, a bulletin board and numerous tables. A A In the Comet office there is one typewriter, one table, and two desks, besides those of the editor and business manager. A little boxlike affair that fits over the business manager's desk houses the entire filing system. In these surroundings once every two weeks, another issue of the Comet is put out. The staff is composed of members of every class in school. The paper goes to press regularly despite Frank Sinatra, Ernest Tubb, the editor's pinup girls and paper dolls. lf there weren't a lot of fun mixed with the labor, no one would be willing to donate free hours or time after school. This year staff members washed printer's ink off their hands longlenough to produce four prograrns:. two election campaigns, a subscription ,quiz show and an original skit, a satire on work in the cubby hole. -- H From September to Ianuary, Nancy Vamvas was chief inthe office. Ioe Iung's term will end in Iune. Geraldine Hale has been elected to take Ioe's place next semester. Board of ' Editors CCIoc1-:wisel R. Graf, G. Hale, B. L. Dom, G. Iohnik, O. Schlap- per, F.

Kunesh Now that another edition of the annual has been published, the members of the 1944 staff can lean back in their chairs and breathe deep sighs of relief. After moving into their new abode last September. the staff slowly but surely got into the swing of things- After months of careful figuring and planning, they saw the pages unfold before them. Snags were struck but after several turbulent jam sessions, the book was again on the road to completion. . Any unusual sights or loud screams heard around the annual office were regarded purely as the enthusiasm of the workers. Making deadlines, getting stories from the writers, seeing that all photographs were taken, and getting students to pay for their subscriptions were only a few of the headaches Every member did his full share of the work. Though there were many trials and tribu lations, each one had occasional moments for a laugh, which often was on himself. One of these lighter moments was the play presented for the subscription drive, a satire entitled 1 Red Riding Hood Goes Modern or Grandmother Comes Through For The Comet Annual Because of a shorter school year, everything had to be done earlier, and it was done The Comet staff extends its thanks to all the faculty members and students who helped make possible the annual this year.

We aren't deceived. lt's West Division's own band, choir and orchestra, practicing for new surprises. We recognize the same stir at the annual school concert. The audience waits expectantly. The orchestra appears. My, we think, what a lovely gown, or doesnft Iohnny Smith look nice? The music starts. We forget everything. We are lost in music. Prestog- We see the choir. Sh! Quiet everybody! Whenever the choir sings, we can expect something new and thrilling. The director catches the eyes of all his singers, raises his baton and a hush falls over the audience. How that choir can sing! Finally, here's the band, looking very trim and neat in their uniforms decorated with red and white. They have taken their places and are ready to swing out wiH'1 stirring marches. After the concert, we leave, feeling very proud of our young musicians. May had a new surprise in store for us-the Bi-ennial Music Festival. Of course, this time we didn't hear from all the members of our musical groups. The All-City Orchestra, Band and Choir are composed of chosen music students from all the city high schools. We saw many of our own friends in each of these groups.
