The 1945 Comet Annual is sincerely dedi- cated to the people-yes, to all the people of the earth, for they are the power behind the throne and must finally decide the fate of the world. The people must decide whether they will join hands and Work together to break down the social and economic barriers separating them by uniting in the common cause of humanity: tb l'1'x -ff-X 5 , 5 V .

To us they represent an attitude essential to our World state: that is, a toleration and understanding of individuals Without questioning race or creed. In the following pages We have endeavored to pre- sent them to you as you might Well find them. A little ridiculous or fanciful, perhaps, but then, what are imaginations for anyway? Dust off your fanci- fier, friends, and let's go! 5 4'-7 ' 5 Sap t WILLIAM C. KNOELK, Principal World Unity is almost as remote an ideal as human unselfishness. World understand- ing comes closer to what can be realized in the field of international cooperation. Social and economic problems are of vital importance. To live in a country that has abundance is a vastly different thing from living in a have-not country: the economic con- dition is terribly important. But above such considerations is the fact that people are not just pawns. People, everywhere, are intensely human. Though they may differ in lan- guage, in the food they eat, in the clothes they wear, in their religion, even in the color of their skin, they are men and women. This art of learning to live together, with mutual respect, with courteous understand- ing of differences, is a vital part of our American way of life. It is a big part of the school's job. We have accepted the challenge at West and can only hope that the planted seed will sprout into noble performance. A lf we would be true to our democratic professions, We must regard human life as sacred, we must grant equality of opportunity to all, and we must insist on justice under the law. To put this theme of brotherhood into effect is a stupendous task. Each of us must search his soul for unworthy prejudices, attempt to be generous to those who twist our words, forgive those who impugn our motives, look pityingly on those who would hate. Skeptics will smile and say, Only a dream! But a profound faith in the sacredness of human life can work the miracle. by William C' Knoelk 8 Mr. Theodore C. Potter- C as in Cuyler -began his career as an accountant for the Santa Fe railroad. He then attended Kansas State College where he received his Bachelor of Science degree. He obtained his Master of Science degree at State University of Iowa. A year of teaching in Kansas followed. After seventeen years of teaching mathe- matics and commercial subjects at Lincoln High, Milwaukee, he finally came to us to take up his duties as vice-principal of West Division High School. These include disciplinary action in special cases which, he reveals, are surprisingly few: making out the main pro- gram schedule and schedule of classes for each semester, issuing report cards, and enroll- ing new comers. Despite all these duties he finds time for a little victory gardening which is his most recent hobby. Mr. Potter's impression of West Division has been very satisfactory. The students seem to him to be considerate of the good name of West and on the whole very well be- havedf' Mr. Potter's likeable personality has been a pleasant part of our school life ever since his arrival. We sincerely hope that he may find West Division and its students a pleasant part of his life. THEODORE C.

EDWARD ANGELBECK should be quite experienced at branding cattle. Doesn't he brand the locker keys? Wild and Wooly LORENZ BAHR wouldn't have to worry about his music students' disturbing any classes in the wide open spaces. Can you imagine KATHLEEN BARNETT running the Bar-Nett Ranch? Our two beauties, ESTA BOETT- CHER and ESTHER BATTAU, ought to cut some pretty good figures out on the plains. Can't you just see LAURA BOLYARD toting a pair of six shooters? We'll bet LUCIE CASE could hold her own on a bucking bronko. Why hold back IANE CLOUD, West's own little camper? HELEN ALTPETER could really be given an opportunity to ex- pand her F.B.l. activities in some frontier town. t g ., y i 3. : : lnbl I V s r. ,,,.

Those Mexican fellows would appreciate MARY DAVIS if she took care of them as well as she does our boys. Can't you picture LUCY DE WOLFE doing the tango with some dashing Caballero? TI-IEO DONNELLY, the favorite of those tall, dark and handsome Mexican males, what with her abund- ant knowledge of math,fand girls. Let's set IVA DUDEN up in the pottery business.

We wonder ii KATHRYN IOHNSON would attract as many students by teaching in the South American Way -with demonstrations. Can't you imagine HOWARD IORDAN teaching merchandising to a class of beautiful senoritas? And there are cocoanut trees for HERMAN KRUSCHKE to sit under and read the Comet Annual. ERNEST KURATH would feel right at home processing rubber on his own little plantation. BEATRICE LEISK protests, Scandanavia, Scandanavia! Does that sound like South America? What a mistake to make!

That outfit in the picture would really fit ERWIN MARTIN to cr We'll lend RAY McCRORY to Russia-to guide them. A country as large as Russia gives VIVIAN MOWRY enough opportunity to expand her travelling experiences. MARY MILLER with her quiet grace should be seated behind a samovar in the soft glow of candle light. We must get MARGARET NELSON off this page. She belongs in Paris with Schiaparelli. We'll bet MILDRED PERRIGO could really cook up a swell pot of borscht. ELSIE PETER'S Warm, cheerful spirit would prove very helpful during one of those long Rus- sian winters. STANTON PUEI-ILER'S voice should be given a chance. Let him join the Don Cassack chorus. After seeing FLORENCE PULVER struggling to get the Annualcompleted, We agree that she possesses a Russian womans gallantry.

HAROLD ROUND'S one-finger piano concerto Chopsticks, might be appreci- ated in China. We could rename our newcomer, PEARL RUBIN Little Magnolia Bud . We'd like to see NOAH SHAPIRO struggling with a set of chopsticks. Would he lose weight! Can you imagine WILLIAM Sl-IAEFFER in a flowing, silk robe? No, not a graduation gown.

Send EDNA WEBER to quiet Holland where her gentle spirit can expand. VIOLA WHITE should fit right in with the Dutch-she's always keeping things spot- less. WALTER WHITMUS would make a friend of any- one in any land. Holland is the place for ALICE QUINN. She has a natural love for Dutch bonnets. ELIZABETH MANNING would absolutely have to stay at home. How would she survive if she couldn't get good old American pie?

Its scenes called to mind parties, hayrides, friends and work. You seniors have taken your curtain-call: you are about to play a new role in a greater drama. Life has many acts and many actors. Each will be only one small actor on the large stage of life. Gradually as you gain fame and recognition of your hopes and ambitions, your part will become larger and you may even take the lead. Hear that applause? It's for you, Young America, a great cast on a world-wide stage . . . The curtain rises: X B , ' v 0 'U K- YQ-1 9 Ma.

She recalls all those old memories, freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors-seniors! Our senior year was full of many last times: the last time we stood in a cold stadium, our feet frozen, our cheeks red from the cold and sang Forward Westside -our last football game-our last basketball game and gym meet: the last assembly program: the last mixer. lt was so much fun to remember the streetcar ride to football games, being jostled, pushed down, yet laughing all the while. The Iunior Prom came before our eyes. We all looked so different in our formals and tuxedos in the brilliant room. We remember how gay the halls looked during junior and senior election of officers all bedecked with bright signs-each candidate trying to outdo the other with ever new and startling ideas. And almost the last of the good times was the senior party. The secretary has finished her speech, and the train of thought is broken. We look around us. Over one hundred of us sit there in our caps and gowns, looking not so dif- ferent lthan we did the day we stood in line for freshman registration. 'Our moms and dads are here, each one waiting for us to receive the hard-worked for diploma. We have come to the end of all last times--our commencement. 27 IWW 67444 Ugiceu 7fnee Jlzgfwu' IV Jlonaa We, lfne cfzaden , IANUARY CLASS OFHCEBS: Row l: B.

Although late in organizing, it held its election on May 2 atter a campaign that lasted tor three days. For the greater part of that week, the school was in an uproar as candidates tor junior class otticers plastered the walls with signs, which brainstorrns represented the ingenuity shown in all school elec- tions. At last the officers were elected. Every junior girl held her breath as prorn king Don Brown picked his queen, the pretty Doreen Kastelich. Don made a good president. Why? Because he's twins!

We see teamwork in action on gridiron and basketball court, but we are only thrilled and enter- tained by these sports exhibitions now. The endurance and tenacity of the team impress us greatly. In later life, however, when our generation is called upon to formulate a successfully united world, we may remember these demonstrations of teamwork and they will take on a new significance as we realize that this same teamwork is the essential of world understanding.

With only three letter men in the Redmen's camp, the season looked pretty blue for Coach Gerboth those first few weeks in September. The loss of such stars as Iim Daley, Syl- vester Polk and Bud Carlson made it necessary for Coach Gerboth to start from scratch to get a team in shape for our first game. Most of the boys had never played organized football before. We had tough luck for our first game, losing to Hale. The next week due to hard work and a little determination, we tied East. We lost our next two games to two of the best teams in the city, Tech and North. Along came Bay View which was slated to win by 20 points. The boys went out on the field with the words of Coach Gerboth sounding in their ears and won with some spectacular running and hard blocking. We had pulled the big- gest upset of the young season. The next week we ran up against a tough team and lost a rough game with nice tackles, blocks and runs on the part of both teams. ln our struggle for Aloysious we tied the score, at first, but later fell behind and 'Tosa kept Porky for another year. ln the season's finale we were denied Victory through an un- fortunate decision on the part of the officials.

Though the attempt was not always successful, the team got the general idea that we were behind them all the way. We felt that we had a really fine season because, win, lose or draw, we had bigger and better crowds in attendance than for many a season. ' Ghalpfun Ghewewi CHEERLEADERS: R. Klotka, L. Conners, B.

Aloysius Q., residing at 'Tosa for the past seven years, adorned our trophy case in years gone by. Seeing his red and White hide glistening in the sun was a constant joy to Westsiders. Down his left side are printed the scores and dates of the battles fought for him. Master Hogg l was eight years old when 'Tosa's bodyguard failed to take care of him and poor Al I hit the pavement never to rise again. We have been unable to uncover the history of Aloysius ll. Aloysius Ill has suffered from a broken leg, but it was not a fatal wound and has been mended. We still have a chance to Win back Aloysius Ill and return him to his haDDY home in West's trophy case. Though We may not have Aloysius in plaster at the moment, We do at least have a picture of him. ' Paw!! Saliva A. Caravelle, A. Mosey, I. Slattinq, W. Carberry, R. Wilbur, R. Fisher, E. Albert, A.

The A.B.C. consists ot a representative ot who is outstanding in his sport and Doc Raisen, chief counsellor. The president ot the G.A.A. automatically becomes the Secretary ot the board and the other members are appointed by the recommendation ot their coach. Upon the shoulders of these chosen few rests the difficult task ot deciding who has the abilities neces- sary for receiving a letter. Their decision is based largely upon recommendation ot the coach.

The Coach had to bring together a team made up mainly ot new players with not much height. This was a handicap against them all through the season. The team took the beating that was given them by Rufus King in the tirst game with a sly smile, and then returned to upset North, the would-be leaders ot our section, 21 to 20. The next two games with East and Custer were won easily. Then came the hard fought game with Washington which ended with the team losing by one point to finish up the tirst halt ot the conference schedule. The second halt of the season ended with the team losing three games to Rufus King, North and Washington. Our team played all three to the utmost of their ability, but they couldn't cope with the height oi the other teams. The two games with Custer and East were won again. The season ended with tive losses and tive victories, which is a iine average tor the smallest team in the conterence. It proves that height isn't everything. The aggressiveness and teamwork of the team has given them a high rating among people who know basketball. 4fmzWM-sa,1hmm 3 t First Row: W. Merkel, A. Corning, R. Speigle, I. Van, I. Sutton.

At the close of the regular basketball season, the interest of the school switches to the intra-mural games. A total of seven games was played this season, with the Sophomore ll's coming out the victors. Each boy of the squad played his finest basketball, especially in the championship game where they upset the Iunior l's. The boys don't receive letters as the varsity does, but they do receive medals and a tree dinner. Although the games woulcln't have been won Without the support of the Whole team, they would have been lost without the fine playing of Gil Kreger, center, Bill Merkel and Don Sutton. These boys played exceptionally Well and deserve the recognition of the Whole school. The main purpose oi these games is to Create more interest in basketball and give the coach some idea of who will be suitable tor the varsity team next year. 3122214 , 76 uniafz - Seniaa QqnuzaAl'4 Row 1: I.

Although the team as a Whole had a little tough luck, it still ranked high in individual scoring as Gregge Gochinas came through with the city championship totaling 93.5 points out oi a possible one hundred.

As our iirst meet rolled 'round at South Sta- dium, lettermen George Koklas and Lyle Rhodes came through in first place in all their events, though George had some trouble with his shoe lace just as the ZOO yard dash started and came out second in this one event. Ierry Stern placed tirst in the pole vault. Surprise top scorer at the meet was Ioe Toth who netted fourteen points in this one meet. l-le's about due for a letter.

This is your opportunity to become acquainted with the rulers of our athletic world. Each year seven girls, elected by members of the club, have the privilege of being G.A.A. officers. lt isn't always easy sailing for these girls because they must often sacrifice their free time or rush to their jobs after school, but they always manage to carry out their responsibilities efficiently. One of the chief duties of the officers is to record the points earned by each girl after the completion of every sport. Although it is a heavy responsibility, the girls are proud to be officers because they feel they are a vital part of the athletic association and are doing a service for fellow school members and friends.

The girls must earn six hundred points for the first award which is a felt emblem. The second, a G.A.A. emblem of greater value, is given to those who have twelve hundred points. The third and highest award, which is a ring or pin, may be obtained with eighteen hundred points. Now we're ready for the activities that constitute our world of sports. Our first obser- vation point covers Valley Ball Square, located in the girls' gym. Almost every night in the week spectators are hanging over the balcony rail, squealing with excitement. Time just fades away and we must move on to another vantage point. mzzg, eau eww Row 1: D. Sladek, L. Anderson, B. Greguska, Captain, S. Couve, E. Freihoffer. Row 2: L. Larson, I, Iiru, I. Datka, B.

Here during the SDCIDDY wintry months While others are buried knee deep in snow, the girls have fun and keep warm, too, as each one tries her hand at making the ball swish through the net, thrilling even those who have observed the performance many times. And here is Table Tennis Court. We see a group of athletic stars assembled on the stage in the gym ready to display the swiftness and alertness which Will Win the game and achieve for the winner the individual honors this game offers.

This sport is managed a little Since we have no alleys of our own, the girls bowl wherever they please on of their scheduled weeks. On the following day, they present their scores to to be averaged. Now we'll return to Basketball Park for the remainder of our tour. The hot sun glares through the windows and you'd be surprised at the way this spring atmosphere inspires the players to make home runs. Each year new girls enter our athletic world to take the place of the girls that have left it for a bigger, more demanding world. Their part in the world of sports at West has helped to prepare them for this larger world. Eacfedaff efzamfzd. Row 1: M. lueschke, F. Clark, E. Martin, R. Barron, I. Rumpf. Row 2: G.

These leaders must be the youth of America, for only they have been privileged to continue their education in schools Where freedom of thought and speech is encouraged. Therefore, only they can have the healthy attitudes necessary for leadership in a world seek- ing lasting peace. Here at West we have these potential leaders in our midst. They are those who have taken the opportunities offered them by our clubs and societies to develop their capacities for leadership and have become outstanding in extra-curricular activi ties as well as in academic work.

Now their activities concern the management of wartime difficulties encountered in daily school life. In addition, their most conspicuous accomplishment was the decision to organize an all- school social gathering and dance to be held in the school gyms. Promoting and carrying out these activities are a major duty. ln any school, the students become favorably acquainted with democracy if they are permitted to practice it themselves. lt is through the Student Council that some contacts with Q UH Ifze Recoful West's own historians, under the direction of Miss Adele Lange, preserve for posterity the activities of West Division alumni since l896. lts duties are partic- ularly pressing now that history is being written at such a rapid rate. As part of a publicity campaign, during the latter part of this year, the organ- ization prepared a bi-week- ly exhibit featuring one of West's outstanding service- men. Although its tempo has been accelerated, the so- ciety still has its two social functions each year, the democratic government are made. Row 1: K. Ploetz, Cvice-president7, B. Miller, Cpresidentl, B.

The first to arrive hangs out the quaint sign Enter at your own risk! Soon the faithful, all too few, enter the portals and ask the fatal ques- tion, ls there much left to do? Well, as a matter of fact, yes, is the snappy comeback. We need Scotty's write-up right now. Will you try to find him? Off skips one young hopeful and, before long, returns with the news that Scotty's rumored to have joined the army, figuring that's the only way to shake Annual shackles. The editor moans and faints dead away only to be revived by Lorraine Neuens, the most faithful of the few, who smiles sweetly and reassuringly, and says, Don't worry. lt's like this every year, and proceeds calmly to get things done. lt's eighth hour and everyone shakes hands and laughs pleasantly as he jokingly promises everything the first thing in the morning. r Scotty shows up with his write-ups because he cloesn't join the army until tomorrow and everyone's happy for awhile. The Annual dummies are spread out all over the room and extend into the hall as all leave for home except the faithful Lorraine and the editor. Six o'clock still finds them resolute- ly trying to salvage something useful from the debris. At six-thirty even they give up and force everything back into the already bulging room and quickly slam the door. 103 We Q0 f ' The problems facing our generation today are so vital that they must necessarily form a part of our activities and become an object of discussion during some of our club sessions.

Patriotic from start to finish, we conducted more drives than you can count on the fingers of one hand. The sixth War Loan Drive netted 567,118.30 to buy weasels. We participated in the paper drive the first Saturday of each month and were rewarded with a hot dog lunch after long hours of carting and packing paper. The money from the paper drive, a sum of 35500, was contributed to the Red Cross War Fund. Our faculty made a good showing with about 530000. The Iunior Red Cross drive at West totaled Sl45.70. 3384.50 and a quantity of material were collected to fill Christmas boxes for servicemen. The student Council conducted a campaign for clothing for Europe's war victims. To wind up all the drives as they were begun, is the Seventh War Loan Drive under the supervision of Mr. Iordan. 1945 demanded hard work and cooperation and Westsiders came through with both. But what is work without play? Right in the social spotlight are the two Student Council parties. Everybody was in the gyms as Mr. and Miss Westside showed they were behind these hard-won and much worked-for social flings. Sock and Buskin contributed much to our enjoyment with its usual good performances. The first all-school play, 1unior Miss , was a huge success. We all enjoyed the fine Christmas play, and the second all- school play Best Foot Forward , was a sellvout. Topping off our tip-top year was the Junior Prom on May 26. The night of the prom found all of West turned out in its finery as we took this last fling before settling down to exams.

A TIP If you plan to attend College next fall, make sure your room is equipped with the right kind of lamp to provide correct light for studying. Some high school graduates will include their home study lamps in the things they take to College. When your school days are finally ended and you have advanced so far in your chosen vocation that you are ready to establish a home of your own, remember that electric living in an All-Electric home helps to make home life run more smoothly and pleasantly.
