Fergus is mentioned, In his many years of service to the school, his name has become synonymous not only with regular duties well done but also with student government, recreation, and activities promoted. His friends in West have noted with heavy hearts his illnesses which have kept him away from his higher mathematics classes, and their hopes are that he will continue to teach many years. Always a friend and adviser, Mr, Fergus has been to us a symbol of learning and of helping-and has set for aspiring teachers an example of how well these two go together, It is lvlr. Fergus' belief that all work with no play produces only a dry subject, and interests students little, and he has introduced many out-ofvdoor projects into his classes. And so. for his untiring efforts and constant aid to the school, we of the graduating class, on the part of students and teachers, dedicate this Annual to lVlr. Lewis V. Fergus. qonewoncll Events have passed rapidly in the last tour years for the class of l942, especially the last two semes- ters, filled with activities and excitement. lts members have learned that the West building is a shell, enclosing the greatest faculty and student body in the world, that the school not only pro- vides opportunity for education, but so mixes work and play that it is a pleasant experience for the student to do his school work when he has so many activities into which he can enter., The Western- aire of l942, in the following pages, hopes to give a complete story of this past year, every write-up recalling clearly to the minds of Westerners all of the happenings of the last year, club activities, committees, studies and sports. lt is the hope of all Annual Board members that this book will serve as an album of memories- something to remind Westerners of what a great year it has been, despite the fact that in future years they will look back with sorrow and remem- ber that this, the senior year for the class of l942, saw the opening of one of the greatest wars in history. Compiling all of the happenings of a school year is a task that involves many difficulties, but the Board, by close cooperation and united effort, be- lieves it has done its best under the circumstances. Now, when you turn this page and start on the album of memories for the school years l94l-42, the pictures will probably suggest to all a familiar story-and if they do, the Annual Board will know that it has done its job.

JJHQQ Cpnincilpall Pupils of West, congratulations upon your Annual. ln this era of war-time scarcity and high prices many schools have not been able to produc-e one as you have. This book is a tribute to your most excellent spirit and team-work of the past year. Your Annual should mean even more in years to come than it does now. Your pictures and write-ups will recall fond memories of high-school days. Those of your friends, AND THEIR SiC-NATURES, ire- member Annual signingll will be even sweeter years and years from now when your classmates have gone their varied ways. Members of the class of l942, l need not remind you that your days as students of West are almost over. Many of you have told me that those days have been busy, worthwhile, and happy. l hope you will continue to live by those principles of democracy we have tried to practice here, I think none can truthfully say they have not enabled us to live and work together successfully and happily. The time has come for me to say Goodbye and good luck to a friendly, helpful, energetic class. Come back or write sometimes. May your heart say to you, Once a Westerner always a Westernerl C! fsfazf CWl.nA. J'liQda-:cfandl Sweet Dean of Qlnh High school days are overl-Yes, indeed! But surely your experiences will remain a real part of your lives. Let us hope that they have helped you to develop into good, strong citizens of the world. The facts of algebra and history and biology and literature cannot all be remem- bered, though when you chance to meet them again they will have a familiar ring. You may ask why we expect you to take time to learn things if they are going to be forgotten. May l ask you: Have YOU derived anything of lasting value from the contact with other people in these classes? lf your answer is affirmative, then l say you have profited from your high school work and are ready to take your place in the world. My best wishes go with you for a well-rounded, influential future. CWln Jlowancll .Q jolmaon JlAAiAtant Uanlncipaf You have completed another successful year at West. Many of you will return next fall and continue the close fellowship which makes for the true West spirit, while at this time, however, we must bid goodbye to the many seniors who leave the Corral to find another place for themselves in this old world of ours. There were times when it seemed as though the academic life would get you down, but at that very moment the activity and social life of the school came forth to revitalize you for the task before you. Thus, day after daygyou experienced the ups and downs which made a cheerful and interesting life at West. All in all, it has been a fine year with a fine group of people. The many happy ex- periences we have had together will not be forgotten, and l hope that you will often recall the moments which played a part in making West the greatest school of them all. Best wishes and loads of success to each of you. of C-fha qacullty, West High School has a faculty worthy of any praise that can be bestowed upon it. ln all its relations with the students and alumni of the school its members are true to the democratic ideals which the school holds. They recognize the importance of each individual student as an individual and set an example of justice, friendly co- operation and of willingness to carry a share of responsibility in every organization or activity with which they are connected.

' Nor has the relationship been one entirelyfbusinesslike. lnstead, life-long friendships have been established between the students and teachers, and the influence of our teachers will be felt in ways of which at present we are hardly conscious.

As a student in West High herself, she learned to feel the spirit of West and to respect its traditions. After her graduation, attendance followed at the University of Denver, where she earned her AB. degree, and she returned to the west side to teach in Central School where she was one of the best loved teachers in the elementary school. Then after a number of years of service in North High School she came back to West High to teach English and Psychology. Of her relations with the faculty she once said, I am the friend of them all and count them as friends of mine. She cared deeply for her pupils, each one of whom was an individual person to her, and her pupils appreciated her fairness and kindness as much as they respected her scholarship. She looked at the faults and weaknesses of others with humor and gentle- ness, at their virtues vvith appreciation, and at life as a whole with wisdom and understanding.

Merlyn made his term a successful one. As head boy he became President of the Student Council and proved his leadership by leading the Stu- dent Council in constructing a new consti- tution tor West. El LEEN TAVENNER Eileen Tavenner, head girl for first semester, gave much of her time to improve the halls, assemblies, and lunchroom, Taffy, as she is better known, is always ready to lend a helping hand. This willing- ness gained many friends for her and proved one of the main factors in making her a capable leader. BILL RICHMOND Bill Richmond was elected to fill the place of Merlyn Salmon on January 29, l942, and continued the work and met the standards set by former head boys of West, He im- mediately took up the work on the consti- tution and with the Student Council finished it before his term ended in June. He also worked in close cooperation with the administration an settling any problem that arose in West. BETTY WOELBING Betty Woelbing was elected as West's head girl January 29, and took office February 2, the beginning of the second semester. As head girl she automatically became vice president of the Student Council. By hard work and cooperation she has made her term very successful. She has mode a straight A average throughout her school career. Under the sponsor- ship of Miss Mary Ol- son, the Senior Class has been preparing for graduation exercises which will be held Tuesday, june 9. The nature of the graduation is a patri- otic program and the theme is Let None But Americans Keep the Watch Tonight. Other activities off the class have been the Senior assembly on October 22, of which Life in an Army Camp was the title, Senior election on September 23-24 for the first se- mester, and February ll-l2 for the second semester. On Novem- ber l9, the gala Senior anion Cllalm Gtticenb FIRST SEMESTER MARGARET BETTY NORMAN DOROTHY McMlLLAN WOELBING PRESSE WHOWELL Secretary Vice-President President Treasurer party took place. Danc- ing, a floor show, and refreshments gave ev- eryone a delightful eve- ning. The Senior play, under the direction of Miss Lois Griffey, was presented on March 20, and this was fol- lowed by the outstand- ing dance of the year, the junior-Senior Prom, on April 'l8. Alumni night and Orange and Black day both came in May, and the last day of high school for the Seniors, june 5, will be memorable Class Day. The colors of the classlhave been changed each year but red, white, and blue are the colors for the graduat- ing class of l942. Let none but Amer- icans keep the watch' tonight, the immortal words of the first pres- ident of the United States, George -Wash- ington, was decided upon as the theme of the graduation exer- cise for the class of l94l2. The membersiof the graduation plan- ning committee de- cided that in these critical times, the or- dinary graduation ex- ercise would not be ex- actly appropriate, and therefore energetically strove to prepare a commencement exer- cise which would be of a serious and patriotic nature and incorporate important phases of the history of the Amer- ican people. They decided that the program for the ex- ercises would be some- what similar to the familiar Ballad for Americans, and that the important high- lights of American his- tory would be recalled through the sayings of Seaton Cllcum Cttlccna SECOND SEMESTER lil?

Roosevelt and Douglas Mac- Arthur. The class of i942 felt that through this panorama of the eter- nal quest of the Amer- ican people for liberty and justice, the audi- ence will fully realize what a proud heritage the United States is fighting to maintain.- Submitted by Arnold Cook.

Negotiations with different printing establishments were numerous for, board members found, the number of bidders was small-defense contracts keeping most of the companies busily occupied. But with dogged determination, the rep- resentatives of the board finally obtained several bids from companies that were large enough to do other work besides their government contracts.

Membership on the staff depends upon excellence of class work in News l and upon qualities of dependability, accuracy and courteous behavior. Usually the staff numbers less than twenty each semester. Miss Lorena Hocking and Mr, joe Scavotto are its faculty sponsors. The Rodeo has enjoyed a prosperous year, both from the standpoint of workmanship and the appreciation of its readers. This prosperity has been due, in a large measure, to the outstanding editorship of Carl Schmachtenberger, editor for the last two years, and to the fine spirit of cooperation on the part of the staff I' I I' I' I I' Ili: '1-5 I 4' ' rw ., V I CHRISTFINE FRANG05 LEE GARLETT TOM GIBB DARRILL HAELING I BEVERLY HAYES epoffef Reporter Associate Editor Reporter Repgrfer r , 'I I' DORCAS LQMONT BERNARD LIEBMAN EDNA MATSON FLQRINE MOLIEN Reporter Denver Post Reporter Repolfer Reporter .E ,WB I M I S S L O R E N A H O C K I N G L I I F a c u I t y S p o n s o r JOHN PEKRUL GLORIA PRESTON LOWELL SCULL JUANITA SNIDER Associate Editor Reporter E t Reporter Associate Editor Had it not been tor the war,'the Rodeo would have been in a position to expand in another year but, in all probability, any change in the paper will be postponed.

Picked by old members, the sponsor, Mrs. Helen Bayliss, and the faculty, they were judged on the four fundamentals of National Honor-citizenship, leadership, scholarship, and service to the school. Extra-curricular activities counted heavily in their being honored, and each has done for the school some outstanding service, has shown excellent leadership, and besides these, kept his marks in the upper ten per cent of his class.

RALPH EASLEY PRESIDENT: MARGARET PUTALLEZ SECRETARY: PHILLIP LAWRENCE VICE PRESIDENT: ARMEN FRANK Ralph Easley's experience in flying and technical aeronautics was one of the main factors in the great growth of the Aviation Club this year, for from a small gathering of aviation enthusiasts the club has enlarged into a roomful of eager and active members. Model planes and discussions of new types of planes, engine parts, and other data concerning the airplane industry were carried on, as were many discussions on what part the airplane plays in war, and its use besides that of actual combat. The social life of the club was taken care of by several parties during the school year. Any student interested in becoming a member of the Aviation Club enters his name with Mr. Easley. The club then votes on the candidates.

A giant Christmas tree was built by the stagehands, upon which the choir was mounted in their recently acquired new robes. Carols, which held the audience spellbound by the unusual beauty of song and setting, were sung by the choir. So beautiful and inspiring was the program that it is planned to give the performance as an annual Christmas program for the school with probably the same program for outsiders on some night preceding Christmas. Because of the now heavy demand for membership in the club, lVlr. Welsh determines who shall get in by the tryout method.

The band has been especially effective this year in showing the rest of the school what a well balanced group it is-Mr. Pike and his organization doing everything in their power to cooperate with students and faculty of West High, and his organization rating a high place in their hearts. National defense and the war program were supported by the band members who collected and sold old papers, now so needed for government use. Anyone who can play an instrument is welcome to try out with Mr. Pike.

They learn everything from the proper handling of a camera to the finished photograph, which includes such things as developing, printing, and enlarging. The only requirements to be a member ofthe Camera Club are to own a camera and have some interest in photography. Many members who have had the valuable experience gained in the West High Camera Club have been given good positions in the vocational field of photography. The Camera Club this year purchased a new enlarger, easel, and timer. Professional photographers demonstrated many things to the club: and the members also took a number of trips to several camera shops and photography studios. As usual they had a party just before the close of the year.

Dave Spilman, the leading drum major of the five Denver High schools this last year, was especially instrumental in drawing favorable comments from out- siders, and his many feats with the baton were admired by all. While the band used to have only a drum major, under Earlburt Pike's leader- ship the number of majorettes and flag twirlers has increased every year.

The iob of a cheerleader is not simple, for besides getting in front of the huge crowd and trying to work up some spirit, he must practice after and before classes on new yells, polish up the old ones, plan pep rallies and work out a pro- gram for lots of noise with good sportsmanship.

The new members who entered the D Club throughout the year were initi- ated in the spring at a picnic.

A penny shower is one source of financing the club, and every October mem- bers canvass classrooms for donations of pennies from all the students interested in this welfare work. The amount received, though usually small, helps much in buying material for the making of the garments, Faculty contributions are also received, Making twenty-two garments entitles aspiring members to a Needlework pin and official membership in the National Needlework Guild.

Speakers are invited to the club meetings to present information on various types of operations and medicine, giving the members authoritative information. Moving pictures also prove a reliable source for add- ing to the knowledge of the club concerning the field of medicine. . Nor are books neglected.

WOODY The last year has been an especially active one for members of the Radio Staff, for it is their duty to tune in on all speeches and radio programs the school rec- ommends or the teachers request: and because of the war situation this year, more speeches and important programs than ever before were heard by teachers and pupils. With the help of the radio staff, another progressive method of teaching has been in use. Pupils in classes write short skits to give over the microphone to their classmates. The staff has to understand the mechanism of the public address system in order to accommodate them. Wilford Woody is the sponsor of the Radio Staff. He selects those who have exceptional voices and some understanding of the radio to serve on it. Stanley Rice, Bob Gout, Bill Richmond, Darrill Hofling Ruatlcna Clasp Club SPONSOR: MRS.

The demonstrations at the football games are designs or words formed by the IIO members. The first demonstration was the word Howdy formed by the Rustlers: and a Stairway to the Stars, presented on November IS, l94l. It was wonderfully performed with white stairs, blue stars and a red N 'for North High School and later with a for West High. On Thanksgiving day a mass demonstration was given by Pep Club, Band, 'and R.O.T.C. members, of all the Denver High Schools, carrying Red, White or Blue flags.

The two groups are completely independent of each other since they have their own individual meetings, dues, officers, and duties. The duties of the regular members include watching the halls during passing periods and helping the S.O.S. pledges to become accustomed to their duties. They meet twice a month under the sponsorship of Mrs. Snyder. Their dues are sjeventy-five cents a year and this includes a free ticket to the S.O.S.-Rustlers ance. The S.O.S. pledges watch doors and gates during classes and perform other small duties about the school. They have meetings twice a month, but their dues are only twenty-five cents a year.

Honorary membership is given to sophomores who in their freshman year maintained B or better average, but these honorary members are not allowed to vote in the annual election for offi- cers as are the' active members of the club nor are they allowed to purchase a Spur pin until they are accepted into active membership atter entering the eleventh grade. Spur also acts as a service club to West High, for every one of its members is pledged to help struggling students with any subject in which help is needed. In this way, Spur helps to elevate the scholastic average of the school, thus making West a top educational system. Attaining membership to Spur is a step toward the National Honor Society, for all of the latter members are selected from the Spur list.

The class will be called Student Government and as it has proved successful it will be continued in the future. The work of the council this year has been centered around constructing a new constitution. Letters have been sent to high schools, junior high schools and colleges throughout the nation for copies of their constitution. From these letters a new constitution for West has been made. The pupil must have a C average and a petition signed by at least fifty persons. Another achievement of the Student Council that has proved a success is Howdy Day.

Although school begins at nine, many of this staff have been in the build- ing for several hours making salads, sandwiches, cakes, pies, coffee, chili, soup, and getting ready for the big rush at l l 50 when boys, girls, and faculty mem- bers swoop down and crowd the cafeteria lines in order to get first choice from the appetizing foods set on the counters. One development in the lunchroom set-up that caused considerable comment last fall was the disbanding of a cafeteria in the teachers' lunchroom, making it necessary for faculty members to stand in line with students to get their lunch.

G Q h Building boys who play the game fairly and squarely under all circumstances is one of the main objects of these mentors who are respon- sible for West's football, tennis, golf, basketball, swimming, wrestling, baseball and track teams, Contrary to popular opinion, the coach does not always think of victory only, but rather he feels that athletics teach one to play not merely the game of the hour, but the game of life as well, They teach the individual to attempt to win--to make decisions rapidly-to think clearly and cleanly-to sacrifice self for the good of the group-to be a go-getter, not a quitter-to be thoughtful of others, and to be a leader as well as a follower. They prepare the individual for life and good citizenship-physically, mentally, morally, and socially. Good coaching resulted in West's tieing for thirdhin baseball, placing several track men in the all-city meet, making second place in foot- ball, third in tennis, third in golf, second in basketball, and third in wrestling. Sophomores enjoyed a good season under Coaches Richard Hotton'and Elbert Chapman. V- ff' il . - 42. u--ii Row three: Mr. F k M' l , C hp St l R' ' f - - .

Besides presenting one of the best balanced teams in the Denver league, Head Coach Frank lvlielenz, assisted by Harvey Riddle, was con- II fl b k tinually surprising opposing teams with tricky reverses and razzle-dazzle-the kind of plays that shook loose West's sma but eet ac s for many substantial gains. The best game of the season for the Pokes was their first engagement with the Angels-the team tagged for first place by most sports writers. The West line, one of the smallest in the city, outfought and outplayed the heavier and more publicized Seraph forward wall enabling fullback lack Girtin and left half Karamigios to run through the Easterners and score twelve points, besides decisively outplaying and outfighting them. Cirtin and Karamigios were the outstanding backs of the West team, both getting all-city berths, one all-honor team, and the former gaining the all-state fullback position. Karamigios led all ground gainers in the league, despite an early injury, and Girtin was often referred to as the hardest working player of the league. Ralph Taylor, veteran tackle, was named on several high school all-city teams and was one of the most feared linesmen in the city. l TDM AINSWORTH JACK BAIN BILL BEcKER JACK BEERS HE Tricky reverses, plus a will to win, spelled victory for the Lowboys of West as they pulled one ot the biggest upsets in prep history by defeating the mighty East Angels, l2 to 9.

However, West opened up in the second half by capitalizing on the Bricklayers' fumbles and by a double tally. West's line played stand- out ball. Koramigios went far into the scoring lead by making two of West's three touchdowns, Girtin making the third. Trailing' at the end of the first halt, West awakened and scored after a fumble recovered by Jock Girtin who finally carried the ball over on a plunge through the center of the line. The Cowboys' other touchdown came as a result of Johnny Koramigios turning his own right guard, going to midfield and then lateraling to alert Girtin who, behind some nice blocking, made his second tally of the game, then Moore converting, took advantage of the Thunderbolts' wildness and intercepting a wild heave and doing a tight rope walk down the sidelines, scored West's last touchdown.

Coach Mielenz's charges were outplayed in the first half but had a slight edge in the last. North's hitherto vulnerable line tightened in the last minutes of play and refused to let plunging Girtm through for a touchdown, the game ending after he had been stooped on the one-foot line his senior vear.

The Cowpokes, a dark horse team, showed a surprisingly good offense in the state meet at the city auditorium and went on to win the consolation championship, after going down to a narrow defeatfay the hands of Pueblo Centennial, South Central league champs. South High, champions of the Denver high schools, went into the final game of the playoffs, and gave the heavily favored Longmont five a stiff fight before succumbing. The team was praised by S, R. l-lill, prin- cipal, for its fight, its teamwork, and it re- fused to quit under any circumstances. Individual stars were lacking this season, but jack Cirtin, stalwart guard, did gain an allfcity place-on most honor teams. The other four starting members of the team. Norman Presse and Sherman Ellis at for- ward, Mike Stath at center, and john Kara- migios at the other guard, worked so well together that their points were evenly divided. Coach Wilford Woody praised the team and their fine play all through the season.

Spears, ace and number one man of the Cowboy squad, gained all-city as a. result of his shellacking the best bets of the other schools. Only a junior, he will be back again next year. Joe Chamberlin, senior, was number two man and captain of the team, giving many good performances and prov- ing himself as a good leader. Coach E. F.

The team played sixteen matches with the other Denver High Schools at the City Pork golf course. The eight members were divided into four teams with two members on each team, and each team played one game with the other high schools. The winners of the matches were decided by the low-ball method whereby the team that makes the hole in the least number of shots wins that hole. All eight members of West's golf team re- ceived letters at the end of the season. E.

These three engaged the larger teams of other schools in the league and, because of lack of practice and competition in their own school, dropped all of their matches and won only one point in the city meet, with all tive schools entered. They watched the annual champions-East High's tankmen -thoroughly discourage other schools with a fine bunch of splashers. Scoring only a few points in each tilt, the Cow- boys gave every other school they met a tough tussle, but the other teams had too much of an advantage in numbers and practice. E.

The former, a senior, and the latter, a iuniar, stood out above all others, Hafling winning all his matches and Owens losing but one of his. The team, composed of about halt juniors and halt seniors, did not do as well in the state meet as in the city, only Hafling and Ray Trujillo placing, getting third places, The boys gave North's city champs a good fight before losing to them, and provided several upsets in their meet with the second place East Angels. South and Manual suffered one-sided defeats at the hands of the Cowboy matmen. 05aAcbaQQ'4l West High's batmen dug in for the last round of prep play in the i942 season and won three straight games to take a tie for third place in the prep league. Marvin Smith, utility all-city, stepped in for the Westerners after his team had met four straight defeats and twirled four masterful games, losing only one. lt was Smith, too, who figured in the most sensational play in prep history. West lost some close ones, and the team was respected and feared by the four other schools in the league. John Karamigios, short stop, was the other Cowboy who placed on the all-city. BASEBALL LETTERMEN '4 l naeh'41 Definite signs of improvement around the West High corral have been shown by West boys going out for track. A few years ago track was considered by Cowboys as just another minor sport, but in the last two years more boys have come out and better track teams resulted. Last year's team was a great improvement over those in the past, and really laid the foundation for better teams to come, according to close followers of the sport. Led by fleet Don Riddle, Darrel Hafling, Bob Elliot, Bill Kemp, pole-vaulters, and Ralph Taylor, the Westerners showed well in their dual and triangular meets and finally in the city and state championship meets.

Sipontzi Under the able guidance of Mrs. Mable Randall and Miss Ruth Dougherty, the girls of West have entered into the sports activities in greater number than ever before. They definitely feel that their responsibility in the present crisis is to build for a finer, stronger type of young woman-one who can withstand all trial and tribulation, regardless of the sever- ity of the future, The girls believe that their participation in school sports will further this essential aim. The large repre- sentation was very obvious in spirit because of the number of girls receiving high honors this year. These honor points were earned by participation in such maior sports as volley- ball, basketball, softball, and speedball, and minor sports coming under the heading of tennis, track, ice-skating, roller- skating, stunts, and swimming. If girls who enter as sophomores earn 750 points, they are awarded a large D. lf they enter as freshmen, lOOO points must be earned for a large D , 250 additional points are needed for a gold D. Girls, who are not able to take part in strenuous activities, have an opportunity to develop their physical well-being in special classes where individual exercises are given according to their needs, with special stress on posture. ,Qi W ig.m,. swf BARBARA McKEE MARGARET PUTALLAZ BIG D BIG D GOLD D GOLD D 4 STARS 2 sTARs Miss DOUGH ERTY 0PALB5,gQ,'g!ytOND INSTRUCTOR GOLD NDN 4 EILEEN TAVENNER TW'23'f5 TQFNER ANNA MAE WALLACE JOAN WEBBER RACHEL WHEELER 5 RLEY HVYQODS BIG D GOLD D BIG D BIG D BIG D GSS, Pon 3 STARS 3 STARS PEGGY CULL Captain of Basketball Team ,I if me BETTY MAUS Captain of Speedball Team CHAMPIONSHIP SPEEDBALL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL TEAM I The COMDGTITIOP in TIWC SDSGUIJOII If0UVl 0m9 Il WGS Ve'fY CIOSB In the fvllf ffndlng Several teams competed for the basketball championship this year.

MOSRIHQ fhc Mosqueroders TWO JOIkS from the WIrIIger WOIIQSH Future MeCi'IOrIICS inia Where high school graduates a few years ago would look forward to graduation with thoughts of college or obtaining a position, this year the class of i942 gazes into the future and sees war, suffering and a steadily increasing national debt. However, through this trying period there will come many opportunities-chances to show the merit of the generation: chances to help older brothers and sisters who are already in the service: chances to do a bit, small as it may be, to gain a mighty victory for the forces of freedom. There is no bitterness in the hearts of Westerners, for we believe though this war will probably hinder progress planned for, it is something that had to happen, and we are happy that we will have our chance to serve. College and higher education plans are now a great distance away from most of our minds, but even if we are unable to realize them now, we know that by helping to gain a victory, we are paving a way for generations to follow -and we are satisfied. There is no whimpering in our class of '42 for there is a job cut out for us, and we shall do it with all our might. 2 Jnflutocinabo ha Qfffg W . 'tv Q 4 .
