There are many things you will want to remember about your school life when your hair is white and your skin is wrinkled. You see that silly picture of your English teacher. What was her name? Here it is under her picture, Miss Stinkerenglug. Why, this picture looks like . . . yes, it's the girl I had my first crush on, she sat next to me in the main. And that's I, giving my first speech in speech class. Boy, do I look a sight! I was so scared. Look at those freshmen! Did I once look like that? My, is that I again? It can't be, but it is. And my hair-did I fix it like that? Goodness! So you feel all warm inside, reliving each memory as you page on. Then you start getting drowsy there by the fireside and the book falls to the floor, and you are asleep, dreaming of those days-ah yes, those good old school days. 4 ' Jr-2 EMM Cr,- x'-ati Q4 'Me Am Wide 'Y ,fjj KMC 5 sj 'sg' ' , f 'jr Saga geauew ffx' xxx 'E f'P,,,:x -C V: by-:mQ,,!' 6 M523 0- V' 3.

KNGELK, Principal A man's home is his castle, and certainly this castle reflects the character of the man. One look at the controlled, businessflike, efficient outer office of room 209 establishes the character of our first gen' tleman of West Side, Mr. Knoelk. As we see him, he is a tall, stately, well-dressed man with touches of silver in his hair. Hearing his voice over the loudspeaker reflects him as a man of distinction. Throughout the day he is kept busy with questions, petitions, and other trials that a principal must face. Mr. Knoelk is an active man, both in civic and social affairs. He is the organizer of the much needed Drivers Education course, and his name can be seen many times in the papers in connection with this important work. He is a friendly, congenial man. When you see him walking through the corridors, you will most likely be met with a smile and a friendly greeting. 6 CLIFFORD V. WHITCLUMB, VicefP1incipal But soft, what light from yonder transom hreaks? Oh! It's the VieefPrineipal's office. Mr. Wliiteimxiilw, an importation from Bay View, has proved to he a real Westsider. His office, nestled in an atmosphere of refinement hetween the newspaper and annual oiliees, is one of the busiest places in the school. Witli knocking knees and clicking teeth, the frosh pauses hefore room 102. As he enters the door, he has a feeling of relaxation, for he tells his problems to a kind and friendly person. As the frosh talks to Mr. Whitecmiiih, he realizes that to help, not to hinder, is the VieefPrinCipal's aim. One ean't help feel' ing good when our friend slips in some good oldffashioned humor. Though understanding, misdemeanors do not go unpunishedg yet they are settled fairly and wisely. Yes, here is a man whose reputation for fair play and common sense have made him as much a part of West as the ereaking steps and familiar halls. 7 Hzstorlcal Dates, that New Latin Declension, KATHLEEN BARNET Handing out pass holders is her bitter pill, But traveling and photogf raphy give her a thrill.

On the fourteenth day of May, Gola Coffelt, choir master, passed on, and with him passed an era in the history of Westside. As his death was announced, the main grew quiet, and their grief was evident. It was as if a cloud had suddenly shut out the sunlight, and sobs of chorus and choir members echoed through the halls. The small baldfheaded man was a part of West, as vital and important as the very corner' stone. Music was the choirmaster's love, and harmony was his gift to West. LOWELL GOODRICH 1891-1949 The staffs and students of the Milwaukee Public Schools lost a great leader and friend in the death of Lowell P. Goodrich on March 29, 1949. His kindness and friendliness were exceedingly great. He lived a life of sympathy and under' standing. His oflice, his heart and his mind were open to all who sought him out. He dedicated his life to the service of children in the public schools and these children and the schools will remain his richest legacy and most abiding monument. The community knew him as a distinguished citizen who led in many enterprises and partif cipated in all worthy endeavors. He had the simplicity that comes only with perfect honesty of heart. .Ii ..

Good punting and hard running hy Vilar and Wisotzke put across our two markers. Teamwork on the part of our green line helped pave the way to our first win. Wuhrman also started educating his toe hy kicking the extra point. WEST 7fCUSTER O. Again the Redmen surprised the city hy forcing Custer to its last stand. In a brilliant offensive game Vilar and Wisotzke carried the pigskin for the fighting Redmen. The payoff was a 20 yard pass from Vilar to Wuhrman, who scored. The latter also converted. WEST 13fKING ll. As a climax to a hreath taking game, the royal crown was snatched from the hlue and yellow King squad. Passing and hard running hy our hackiield quartet and line determination put us a touchdown ahead. The decisive kick hy our 'sGolden Toe Wuhrf man made the score 13f6. Thus the setting was created for the crucial moment when King scored, making the score 1342. With tie pending on the kick, our hashful and consistent line hacker, Elray Nixon, crashed thru the line and hlocked the King kick, victory was ours. WEST ELWNORTH 6. The redmen whoop' ing it up trampled all over the blue and white to make it the hlack and hlue North team. Scoring their first touchdowns of the season, two apiece. Nixon and Vilar kept our slate clean, Wuhrf man connected with four extra points and a field goal. Both teams had a rough and rugged time as North had a heyday fumhling. The hench for the Hrst time this season was cleared. WEST 7' LINCOLN 20. The crying towel was ours after this game, for there was no heat' ing Lincoln that night. Qur lead, a Lincoln pass intercepted hy Vilar who raced 80 yards unf touched to pay dirt, was shortflived. Lincoln's spirit came from their three weeks' layoff and their determination to get revenge for knocking their team out of the championship two years ago. In sports it rates, you can,t deny.

West fell from the numher one perch as it was handed its num' her two defeat. Our only consolation was that when Wisotzke skirted toward the goal line and the pigskin slipped from his hand. The alert Dick Wilson, reserve guard, then fell on it. WEST l4 PULASKI fl. Wests football team hounced hack and kfo'd Pulaski for its fifth win in seven games. Playing an alert game, the Redman intercepted the first five Pulaski passes and recovered five Ramhler fumhlcs. The first was scored hy guard Gene White, who stole the hall off the finger tips of the Pulaski quarterhack and raced 51 yards to score. A key hlock was thrown hy Wuhrinan who also converted. Vilar, due to age, couldift play. Wild Bill. driving up and down the gridiron, lived up to his reputaf tion as he racked up the second score. WEST 7 WASHTNGTON 26. The crucial moment at hand, we encountered our traditional enemies, the Sherman Boulevard hoys. For the first time since '38 we were in the fight for the championship. Exploding and driving the Purf golders hack, it looked as if Washington were going to have a rough time. Taking the kickfoff and driving 35 yards, we were goalward hound until a pass of ours was intercepted. On the next play the Purple and Gold fumhled, and XVest recovered. At this point we went to the goal via Wisotzke who scored, and Wuhrman converted. But from then on it was Washington's turn ex' cept for a few phases. Washington hounced hack and took the crown that was almost in our grasp. REMEMBER WHEN . . . Kahl was crippled hy a grasshopper? . . .

When the conference started with its first drihhle, we took command and swished four victories through the net. Old lady luck was our pilot, hut she went clear of us when graduation and sickness took their toll. Qur midfyear graduates were Krause, McCormick, and lvlillunzi. Our squad, caught undermanned and green and lacking in reserve power, was not ahle to compete against other overwhelming forces. Our next games were played with tight and spirit, hut the last minute drives weren't enough to put us up and over the top. After four four unlucky numherj snapped our win' ning streak, we seemed to he working up to a climax for the last game. All hoys proved their worth as West showed its latent determination and went on to vietory over lirst place South. FRESH-SOPH BASKETBALL Row I: W. Krueger, C, Wall, K. Watson, R. Krecklcr, G.

Yes, that's the story the newspapers carried after we'd successfully defended our crown. This was our 13th FreshfSoph crown in 14 gym meets. With super giant swings, dislocates and fly aways, our hoys swamped the first ten placed in the city with five men, Our Intermediate group didn't do so well, but that was due to circumstances hcyond our conf trol. Some schools moved their entire Juniorf Senior group into the title. The squad took fourth in the Intermediate, and Wayne Shearier took sixth in the top ten. We can well he proud to stick out our chest as West won its 16th JuniorfSenior Gym Title in 18 years of competition. West finished with at team total of 7,203 points.

State Meet: West Qlothj Jogging into our third season of cross country, we started with a bang and a victory. As the season went along, we col' lected our share of honors. We're especially proud of Carroll Sternberg who never was beaten in a duel meet, placed fifth in the state, and took first in the city. TRACK With spikes flying, liniment flowing and musf cles being pulled, our cindermen ushered in the '49 track season. Because the annual is going to press before the results of track are known, there can't be any scores published. In this writefup the hopes of West go with the thinlies for a good year. This season we have four returning lettermen who are led by Carroll Sternberg, the city one mile champ and the city cross country champ. It is probable that Carroll will repeat as champ in the mile. Other lettermen are: Keith Eggers, who runs the mile and 880, Bill Wisotzke, who runs the 100 and 220, and Elray Nixon, who handles the weight. Although there are many point winners and up and coming future stars, we can not list them all, for we do not wish to slight anyone. The boys are practicing in our groovey halls trying to perfect their speed and form. The coaching will be done by Ray Weid- man who'll handle sprints and long distance men, the weight will be under the coaching of the heavyweight coach, Richard Geske. Good Luck in all your efforts!
