A plane, a bird, or can it be a comet? ln the words of Webster a comet is defined as a heavenly body which moves with incredible speed from or toward the sun in remarkable orbits. Few are seen by the naked eye. This definition can easily describe our 1959 Comet Annual! lt is surely a heavenly body, moving from viewer to viewer with incredible speed, showing its brilliance and simplicity of design to everyone. When the Comet was named after the famous Halley's Comet back in 1898, everyone knew that it too would be famous, and appear in great splendor. Students and faculty knew that it would be marveled at, studied, and talked about by everyone. The idea of a Comet was carried out with the Red Star, West's symbol of victory. Now that we have a new school, new ideas, and new aspects of old traditions, maybe this object and its occupants are coming to help us, hinder us, or observe us. Perhaps the visitors will be extremely brilliant in the fields of chemistry and physics. We can show them that with the arrival of the Space Age came a desire for more knowledge of the unknown among all earth people. Maybe they can tell us of developments with which we are completely unfamiliar. To be able to talk with galaxial people such as these would be an education in itself. Our unidentified obiect is coming closer and closer. lt seems to be taking on the contour of a large smooth obiect, and it is heading straight for West Division! lt is a real down-to-earth rocket! Where is it coming from? Perhaps from Venus - or Mars - the Red Star - West's own symbol! What will its occupants be? A boy-a teenager like we are-or perhaps an adult? We do hope it is a teenager, a boy who will bring his sister along. Maybe she is his twin. Win and Will West would be fantastically appro- priate names. Will they be like us, able to work, have fun, go to school, enioy living? Come with us while we attempt to find some of the answers to the many questions in the minds of youth today! A-1 KMW7 9 Ce time 3' L .IA 4 15,5 ,ff OO r K 7 , ' N' N ', . X i is X4 Q1 Y' At a meeting in room 228, the mathematics teachers discussed the problems which they would have to calculate. It was surmised that the space ship would land in the vicinity of West Division. With Mr. Kruschke's direction, the math faculty calculated the direction, speed, path, source and weight of the ship and the influence of the earth's gravity on it. The mass and power of the ship could be found by measuring the radio waves, and the angle at which it was descending could be found by trigonometry. This information could be graphed by the use of algebra. The teachers calculated that the ship weighed 99 tons, its area was 1,346,211 square feet, its speed l8,000 miles per hour, and its path of origin was a small reddish planet, a little to the left of Mars. Considering the position and speed of the ship, the flying saucer would land in 26.37 hours, right in front of the main entrance of West Division on Highland Avenue. The science faculty rushed to the observatory on the roof of the school. The first thing to ascertain was whether the ship was radioactive or not. Using the spectroscope, Doc Raisen found that exhaust gases were derived from petroleum products. 7 t Mr. Kintis immediately realized the petroleum was a sign of organic life including water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and eighteen other elements. He exclaimed as he leafed through a new publica- tion on photosynthesis, Perhaps that small red planet has life such as ours! Swiveling the large astronomical telescope about, the science faculty noticed the flying saucer had no propeller or iets, so the space people must have developed anti-gravitational devices. The most startling surprise was to find with the tele- scope's help, the words printed along the outer rim of the space-ship. These words were Halley No. 2 on one side, and Red Star on the other. Miss Goes, head of the English Department, has called a meeting of all the English teachers. This meeting is to decide how to prepare for the coming of the spacemen. Language barriers be- tween the spacemen and West's students will not be one of our problems. Judging from some of the English themes and from the 'hep talk' used by many students, West Division could speak al- most any language on earth or in space, said Miss Goes. Mr. Thomas heartily agreed with her and read some examples from themes to convince the rest of the teachers. Gladdon Dunst Peter Kmhs Sl l leY 8 5 9 alll tt' ' Mrs. Ronglien and Miss Siliun interrupted this con- versation by saying, Speaking of languages, we must welcome them somehow. Miss Ronglien said, I think we should have the speech classes help us welcome them. Miss Silian interrupted her with, Why just the speech classes? I think we will need the whole school to welcome them. After all, didn't the science department say that they would have an anti-gravitational ship and wouldn't be able to land? We'll have to shout a welcome to them from the roof of the school, and we'll need the strong voices of the students. Miss Goes asked Mr. Towle, Are you preparing anything on the spacemen for the Newspaper? Mr. Towle answered, Naturally I am. I'm de- voting the whole newspaper to stories about the invasion, and I have a whole page reserved for interviews with the spacemen. I've assigned fifteen reporters to get on different phases of the story and several staff members to do re- search. Our school artists are making cartoons of space people! The geography teachers have been studying maps, wondering if the arrival of the spaceship and the things to follow will change the face of the earth. The students are hoping that won't hap- 9 'em' JCM Redmond :Mrs Opal Rognhen M , pen because they'd have to start geography all over again. In the history classes Mr. Kitzke is paging through the international law books waiting to see if any laws are being broken. Mr. Bahr is thorough- ly convinced the Russians are invading the earth from space. Mr. Rounds, who is doing a book on Space History, says he is tired of the earth and he wants to go into space exploration. The Art Department, under Mrs. Sweeney's direc- tion, has put up many Welcome posters. These posters, in many different sizes, shapes, colors, and languages have been placed around the school to welcome the spacemen. Many of these posters are friendly welcome signs. Some are warnings to the students that we have in- structions for air raids. Some humorous artists have completed a mural in the cafeteria, with space monsters reminiscent of the Purple People Eater. The home economics classes checked their cook books and made up recipes of Martian delicacies. Bar-B-Q Meteors and Green Cheese Cake are featured. The sewing classes started making outfits for the latest fashion show. Some of the fashions are 10 Braun Graco loask OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Martian hats for men and women allowed for antennae, cmd costumes are dyed beautiful colors such as moon green, heavenly blue, starry yellow, comet red and space purple. Mrs. Perrigo's family living classes have chosen two students from each class to welcome the space visitors. One girl has studied good groom- ing of hair, nails, face, and so on and decided she would explain these things to the space peo- ple. She had to make emergency preparations, in case the visitors had none of these attributes. The physical education department is preparing for the coming of the spaceship. Miss Boettcher is throwing ropes up to attach to the clouds surrounding the ship. Miss Glunn is really going all out for swimming. She has some idea that the earth will become flooded and only those who can swim will survive. Mr. Kotecki and his classes are building up their muscles in order to be aggressive and defend good old West against the spacemen in case they are hostile. The industrial arts department built a spaceship to provide for a quick evacuation, should this flying saucer prove hostile. Mr. Onarheim had a contest in his drawing classes using isometric proiection to design a fast rocket June Weigand .. ., K 11 ship. The best drawing was then proiected into orthographic and Mr. Puehler took the plans, hammer and saw, and started building the scaf- folding. He wants to be the pilot, and so was very concerned about building a safe, strong ship. As soon as the scaffolding was up, Mr. Braun took his metal work classes outside to do the welding. Finally the finished ship sat out in the teachers' parking lot, alert for any danger. Miss Devoy, French and Spanish teacher, Miss Jansen, Latin teacher, and Mr. Koepsell, German teacher, are having a small argument. Miss Devoy is positive the spacemen will speak French or Spanish, because she has taught her classes words and phrases to use when speaking to a space- man. Miss Jansen thinks they will speak Latin because Latin is the root of all languages. Mr. Koepsell is absolutely sure the spacemen will speak German because all his classes have writ- ten welcome speeches in German. lf they don't speak German, Mr. Koepsell's classes have said, Mr, Koepsell had better teach them, so the speeches wouldn't be wasted. Of course, there was the unstated worry that the space people would speak Russian, as the result of a new Sputnik. Roy Weidman Sylvia Catherine Devoy 12 ' I X P' ,, .si Joseph Bonfiglio The marching band broke out its repertoire of patriotic American and West Side songs and has been practicing continually since the news came. With Mr. Bonfiglio at the head, the band marches up and down all corridors, in and out of the build- ing all day. This adds to the feeling of disorientation, but some of the faculty suspect all students in West Division do not always study every minute anyway. The library is having the best business it has had since 'The Martian Invasion', by Orson Welles, says Miss Barnett, school librarian. She continued, Books have been coming in and out of this library like missiles off the launching pods at Cape Canaveral. Everyone is reading science fiction books and using the encyclopedia to find information on astronomy. ,... flfh ,, .V 0 0 e 0 ' Mrs .lean Ralph Cin, Emil Rucktenwold Mrs. Myrtle Hyman Michael 13 Spirit of West Side! lt our marvel- ous new school is to mean in the years to come what the old house, at present so nearly gone, has meant to the community, the city, cmd even the world, then we must ever keep in our minds what con- stitutes the true spirit of West. This is a spirit not evinced solely by exultation over athletic victo- ries, fine dramatic productions, and the like, but one that is most evident through our eagerness to learn whatever is good, our de- sires to serve others, and our honest attempts to form a more peace-loving world. By our con- stant striving for these shall we show the true Spirit of West Side and insure that, sixty years from now, our present home shall be venerated like the old. CLIFFORD V. WHITCOMB Vice Principal It has often been said, America is a land where free men have made a habit of doing the impos- sible . A free man, however, must be an educated man. Give a young man or a young lady the opportunity to acquire wealth from the world's storehouse of knowledge, and his or her dreams will never really be out of reach. Former students of West have proven this philosophy many times. Milwaukee, your parents, and your teachers are dedicated in their ambition to having each ot you become a free American. ARTHUR H. WILL Principal The tall, slightly stooped figure of Erwin Gerboth, beloved coach, is to be seen no more stamping up and dawn the football field, encouraging and exhort- ing his players. He passed away De- cember 26, l958. He had been with West Division as a star track and football man, and returned, atter a brilliant athletic record at college, to coach sports at his alma mater for twenty years. He liked coaching, for it made him feel closer to the boys, in return, the boys gave him their respect and friendship. Mr. Gerboth was the guiding light behind the teams, and this spirit has inspired and unified the school in all endeavors. He has left us as coach, athletic di- rector and teacher, but the spirit he brought is still maintained. WE REMEMBER For twenty-two years the West Division bookstore has been man- aged by robin-like Miss lda Duden. Her bright, clever eyes, energetic and exacting activity kept her boys running about doing an efficient and helpful iob for the school. This same energetic and efficient characteristics were apparent in the way Miss Duden motivated her classes to do excellent work in preparation for secretarial posi- tions. Miss Duden will now go to Coli- fornia with her sister and enioy her retirement. Perhaps flowers will respond to her nimble touch as well as have her many grate- ful students. 15 Miss Mary Ellen Shields, our commercial teacher for many years, has left us. Only death could take this dedicated woman away from her creative work. During her teaching career she held high standards for her students and their reputation for good work was city wide. Miss Shields often personally helped her students find work. Many students were helped financially through her unselfish efforts to bring to light the good in all of us. il my X iii -1 .... : . J -in 'x 'Q 4 2 Q Q 'mfg 41 'sgwbhf N fx ,L y X The flying saucer approached West Division rapidly until it stopped suddenly with a ierk, and then began spinning almost like a top, perhaps fifteen feet above the ground. At this time the student body was gathered on the roof of the building. The march- ing band was going through formations on the lawn. Gradually, the whirling saucer wobbled to a stop. A hatch lifted from the top of the ship and two figures, humanoid in appearance, got out of the ship and lowered a ladder to the earth. As the figures descended, Mr. Will and Eileen Biller, president of the Student Council, came forward to meet them. l'm Will West from the Red Star planet, said the boy, extending his hand in greeting, and this is my sister, Win. Mr. Will and Eileen greeted them pleasantly, surprised that the two space peo- ple could speak English. They found Will and Win had a translator built into their space helmets. After the welcoming ceremonies, Mr. Will suggested that Eileen Biller take the visitors through the homerooms in order to visit the students. Eileen Biller: The homeroom period here is used for discussing school problems and activities, and for doing homework. Win West: On our planet we don't actually have discussions, we just send thought waves. What kind of problems do you discuss? Eileen: Problems with homework, teachers, and problems concerning our sched- ules. 17 Will: We never have problems with teachers or schedules because we receive our education by thought waves sent into our brains by machines while we rest. We don't have to write out our homework, we iust turn the knob on the sides of our heads and after calculating the answers the paper drops out of the back of our head. Eileen: Do you have to buy paper for it? Win: No, our bodies make the paper from the food we eat. Do you do anything else besides discuss things during homeroom period? Eileen: We take attendance, so we know if everyone is present or if some students are absent. Will: Do you get any kind of report to show how well you're doing, seeing you have to do so much work? Eileen: Oh yes, we receive a report card once every six weeks. lt tells how we have been doing in our classes the past six weeks and sometimes, if we receive a bad mark, warns us that we have to improve.

Active members have assisted the nurses at Wood Veteran's Ad- ministration hospital in feeding and entertaining patients. They have participated in square dances and modern dances held regularly for the patients in the County mental institutions. The chief proiect of the year, however, was a variety show which was presented to elderly residents of the county hospital in January. lt consisted of several different acts, all of which were planned and carried out by West students. The show was said to have been one of the best ever staged by the members of any Red Cross chapter. The biology club meets every Monday 8th hour in which it holds a business meeting and after- wards each member works on a proiect. At the present time the members are raising and breeding mice which will be used for further experiments. Some of the experiments will be about vitamin deficiency, effects of alcohol, and electrostatic reproduction. In order to become a member one must be a good student and have some project in mind with which they can work. BIOLOGY CLUB Row 1-D. Zomchek, M. Lapins, R. Schindler, S. Roberts, C. Schuppe, C.

No, my friendly strangers, the Comet newspaper is not like your space comets, although it causes iust as much confusion. Take Judy Cook, for instance, our news editor, when she's around, there is mass confusion, es- pecially when she has forgotten to bring back the story she promised to type. And Peter, co-editor, has quite a time too, try- ing to dream up a headline that will seem out of this world. When Myrna and Barbara are collaborating there's really confusion, especially when they're trying to decide how to spell a word. Barbara, a very, very bad speller with no sense of direction, can't COMET NEWS EDITORS even find her way to the dictionary. Margaret has her bad times also, like the time she corrected something that was right in the first place. Lillian and Jenny are getting more and more frustrated as Mr. Towle gives them the works for not having their stories in on time. Ken and Kathy are living it up on the make up page, Where do we put this?

This annual has been busy interviewing the space people and scientific advisers, such f-Wa' as artists, writers, printers, and informed faculty members. The annual theme shows the result of this frenzied investigation. ln order to put this book together, the theme 5 was developed editorially, a layout made up and the photography planned to carry out the theme. Many thanks go to the Shutterbugs who assisted every pictorial en- deavor. The artists designed pictures mixing the reality of photographs with the fantasy of paintings. The writing staff has concocted a science fiction story of adventure and X-fe.-- 1 exploration. -'-' ' COMET ANNUAL EDITORS P. Somers, E. Oelsner, J. Ptannerstill, T. Schuck, Mrs. Knight.

The girls are shown new steps by Doc, then Kathy Bakos, Captain, batters it into them during early, early morning sessions. Miss Jansen takes care of the attendance and outfitting end, and Mr. Theodore Svitavsky pinch- hits for Doc when he is absent. The Highlanders wear kilts in the red and white Royal Stuart plaid. C7 Chess Club installs in each of its members the ability to think clearly, to concentrate fully on one problem, and to practice scientific method of procedure. The club is to be complimented for placing third and fourth the past two years at the city meet.

West's band has been under the direction of Mr. Bonfiglio since we moved to our new school in September. Their beautiful music has been confined not only to the ears of West Division students, but to many other people also. West's band played for three neighboring schools this year and gave two outstanding concerts. Their Halloween treat to the neighborhood was furnish- ing the music for the Halloween parade at the Lloyd Street grade school. They helped make Christmas merrier by playing many beautiful Christ- mas songs and carols for the Christmas Concert. On January 13, i959 they gave a Music Appre- ciation Concert for all neighboring schools. They also performed in the School Concerts for West Divisionites. They finished the school year by giving a splendid concert at Wells Street iunior high school. SENIOR ORCHESTRA AND SENIOR CHOIR Members of the Senior Choir are students who have had training in a chorus class, B-Choir, private vocal instructions, or have the ability to carry a tune. Occasionally, you may iind in the choir a student who cannot carry a tune only because he has slipped past Mr. Cloos' watchful ear. However, this is very rare. Each year the choir gives a Christmas program, an Easter program and sings at the Commencement i F 'i ' exercises. At times special programs are given for the sur- rounding elementary schools, hospitals, and homes for the aged. West Division High School was the first school in the city to organize a Senior Choir. All new members are required to sing a solo for the old members. So far all the members have survived the task. R. L. Cloos Row I-J. Stordeur, A. Tatrow, S. Schmidt, A. Athey, B. Fiel, B.

The club produced the Little Theater Fall Festival. ln this, four officers of the Club each chose a one-act play which they produced. The Festival was presented in the speech room, and each play was criticized. Prizes were awarded for those FALL FESTIVAL CAST who were the best director, actor and actress. To get the feel of the new stage in the auditorium Sock and Buskin presented a program after the Christmas holidays before a double shift.

The male spacepeople are very enthused with our types of sports and athletesg and the female spacepeople are enthused only with-you guessed it-the athletes. No one on the Red Star has ever exercised, and people on other planets don't need exercises. How can a iellyelike body develop muscles? Others have muscles inside rigid skeletal structures. Lately, West's athletes have had extremely large audiences every time they ex- ercise or practice the various sportsg many boys feel as if they've been brain washedfthey've been asked so many questions by Win and Will West. As a matter of fact, even Ray Anderson was seen going to the library to look up an answer to one ofthe questions he was asked. 5 l iz. !' ,, f K 3 3 1 A , L 1 X , , ' f Q A 1 , ,Ii A ff' W CM-,fx WW gow ' K, A A X QR R FS ' ri E vyg ,QA WQJMQ QV? n Ov ,U K-.'.,Vk.xL,a AAA W ff WV! file ff 2 fini l 1 SR J if T Q q V N i l, i p, .Q , S A ,... .. t F3 ,- ' iii? :1. -- '- ' ' ,,, 2 - mf ' ' ,'-- Q Sb- -' 5, W.

Nt figs Control: Where one man is in such a position that the other man can not get away or do much. Usually i H this position is on top or behind. Reverse: The man who is in control loses control and the man who was controlled becomes the controller. Q e Escape: Where the man who was being controlled escapes completely the control of the other man. C...-3 N Q Takedown: From a standing position one man drops the other to the mat and goes into control of him. S X During the bout you must react immediately to the moves of your opponent. If you do not, you may either ' S be reversed or pinned. Speed and knowledge count a great deal in this sport. CROSS COUNTRY Row 'I-M. Sansone, P. Worland, D. Schwendel, T. Kopplin, P. Kirkwood, R.

Each hand motion tells a story of its own. Members of the class have put in I ? many hours learning movements of the hands-to say nothing of the lower limbs. mt ' The exotic music heard floating through the halls has served to increase the interest in our new class, Perhaps next year you too will get the bug.

Juniors and Seniors as well as Freshmen and Sophomores have fun taking part in the club's activities. The girls not only have fun while keeping them- selves in good physical condition, but they are working for awards. Points are given for partici- pation in any way. The first of these awards is a felt W with the initials G.A.A. on it. To gain this award the girls work very' hard to secure the necessary 600 points. The second award, a chenille W with G.A.A. on it, is a little harder to obtain, for many more points are needed to gain possession of it. The second award winners have earned at least 1200 points. The third and final award is very difficult to ob- tain. lt consists of a sterling silver bracelet. Be- cause of the number of points necessary, this award is very highly prized by the winners. 1800 points are necessary to obtain it. These awards are symbols of many hours of fun and activity. Some girls do obtain all three of them. Any girl who does own them can be very proud of herself and know that their price was well worth her time. xkstttgf ,ii -Q MS Q?-A A Z, t 64 V ' ii' vi? 1 ::7. l' 2?

Good teaching and training have enabled our Seniors to face their new life in a new world. Almost every field is represented from medicine to engineering, science to homemaking. The final count is beginning, Win and Will are briefing our space explorers. We see a face at every porthole getting their last look at their alma mater, West Di- vision High School.
