Only three letter-men returned from last season's squad. The two returning seniors, Glen Gersbach and Ray Usher were made co-captains. Gersbach was 7-2-1 for the season, while Usher was 7-3. They had the best records on the squad this season. The other returning letterman, Charles Selcer, was injured early in the season. West's grapplers opened the season on a promising note when they defeated Central in the first meet of the season. Glen Gersbach and Ray Usher won their matches by decisions, while Peder Ronning and Paul Tollefson won their matches by pins. This meet was to be the only victory for the Cowboys for the entire season. Sensing defeat, a West opponent finds the end in sight. VARSITY WRESTLING — FRONT ROW: G. Green, B. Crowley, K. Crabb, A.

These five games found West playing the top teams in the city for a second time. The Cowboys won their first five regular season games before losing. Some personal achievements in these victories were goalie Ward Johnson's shut out against Vocational, Wizzy Wyatt's hat tricks against Marshall and North, and Tim Hydeen's hat trick against Vocational. The Cowboys rebounded from losses to Washburn and Edison by defeating Central 10-1. The only success in the extra five games was a 1-1 tie against Edison.

The award, the first basketball trophy West has won in four years, was carried home by the team after victories over favored Austin and Brainerd in the Paul Bunyan tourney. After defeating Vocational and Southwest in their first two regular season games, the Cowboys were upset by South. In the next game, West dealt Roosevelt its first loss in a one point decision. Amassing impressive victories over Edison and North, the Cowboys remained in the conference title picture until a dissapointing loss to Marshall late in the season. Highlights of the year included Tom Seehau-sen's 36 points against Edison, John Bedor's four clutch free throws in the Roosevelt victory, Mark Zander's 20 points and 20 rebounds in the North game, and Vance Rasmussen's 20 points against Central. Randy Virkus and Mark Zander put forth an optimum effort as they wrest control of the ball from their opponents.

For the first few weeks there was no snow, so practice consisted of running and calisthenics. When the snow came, the team was finally able to don skis and adequately prepare for the all important City Meet. In this meet, West placed fifth in jumping, fourth in cross country, and eighth in slalom, to finish fifth over-all. Todd Sarenpa finished fourth in jumping and Dave Madson came in fifth in cross country.

The season culminated with the city meet at the Southwest pool on November 6. Though only six girls had qualified, West still finished a notable third. Barb Stevens, the lone senior on the team, and sophomore Liz Bailey were particularly outstanding Other bright notes of the season were the new coach, Mrs. Carlson, and a swinging new bus driver who provided transportation to the local ice cream parlors. Sophomore Kay Toivonen swims a smooth backstroke despite the jitters in her first city preliminary swim meet.

Starting the season with almost a complete turnover of players, the team gained experience for next year. After winning the first match 6-1 over Roosevelt, the team suffered a very close loss to Henry. A promising sophomore, Vange Checheris, filled the third singles position highly successfully.

The team placed third in the city behind traditional rivals, Marshall — U and Southwest. Assuming the first singles position was veteran Carol Rivers backed by Stephanie Abramovich, Chris Hill and Lela Stumpf. Laurie Born and Sue Kelley completed the season with an undefeated record in the first doubles position while Pat Carmody and Sue Lund backed them.

Music Vividly Swings at West The pep band, a vital part of West's music department, perks up many pep fests and sports events throughout the year. An orchestra at West? Yes- for the first time in twenty five years an orchestra was organized under the supervision of Mr. Antholz, who incorporated the talent of students from West and Jefferson. The new ensemble made its debut at a pre-Thanksgiving auditorium. Busy! That word described the band as it appeared in many school programs. Other activities included a snappy half-time show for Homecoming and a pep band that livened up various pep fests, basketball, football, and hockey games. Aquarius was one of the catchy tunes on a widening range that were sung by the choir. A new pop group, which sang many of the more popular tunes of today, was also formed. The newly-formed orchestra performs for many school programs where the group displays combined talent. 73 A Wider Gamut of Experiences Beginning second quarter, the seniors were offered an elective course two days a week and attended their regular English classes the remaining three days. Electives offered were: Advanced Placement, an in depth study of poetry and other works; Novel Criticism, a study of the structure of the novel; Mass Media, a criticism of the contemporary medias; and Humanities, a comparison of world religions. Second semester, juniors also participated in the elective program. Their classes included the Lost Generation, Creative Writing, Science Fiction, Drama, Film, and the Contemporary Novel. Those electives chosen lasted for approximately one quarter each. The end result was a slight shift of responsibility onto the student's shoulder.

Students spent three days a week studying the disciplines of sociology, area studies, economics, and psychology.

Captions, headlines, and cropping were but a few of the many chores for each of the seventeen staff members. The days had their lighter moments, too, as the staff rehearsed its Odin song from the movie THE VIKINGS and celebrated each staff member's birthday with a cake.

As the holiday season approached, gifts were collected from students and distributed to needy children. New ideas were incorporated by the staff as the year progressed. One idea was the elimina- tion of page editors, which encouraged more of a community effort in producing issues. Other changes were the addition of more juniors to the staff and a greater amount of art work on each page. Issues came out every three weeks, with a special one for seniors at the year's end.

Kirk Hokanson learns about the complex points of friction reduction as he watches Mr. Waterhouse's demonstration. The magic of the laboratory and its creative powers lured West's students to experiment in several science classes. Biology students took and typed samples of their own blood. A two-week motion laboratory was conducted in physics classes. Among the other labs conducted were ones involving density and friction. Chemistry students worked long hours setting up distillation, oxidation, and density experiments, as well as others. Joe Wendel intently watches Ed Grunseth check for air bubbles before beginning a chemistry experiment. 78 In Understanding Complications Experimental evaluation systems made math a new experience for many West High students. A program was instituted whereby students could select from a group of eight possible methods of study the four they fell would be the most rewarding. Students also could decide what grade they desired at the beginning of each quarter. A fulfillment of the criteria set up for grade in each of the study areas selected would assure the person of at least that mark. As part of the program, a teletype connected to a Honeywell computer was utilized to teach basic programming skills. A committee of students was set up to field any complaints or suggestions. Utilizing West High's computer teletype, Patty Sand works on a complicated program that will do her homework.

M. Sikes, Sec. E. Lewin, V.-Pres. B. Ress, Pres. J. Hedum. Reforms Reshape Senior Board The Senior Board, advised by Miss Bradach and presided over by President jerry Hedum, coordinated senior activities throughout the year. A total of fiteen undertakings were proposed by the board, and in an unprecedented move, these suggestions were voted on by the entire senior class. The six items which received enough support to become mandatory were a copy of the Yearbook, a senior issue of the Times, a cap and gown, two tickets to the class play, a ticket to the picnic and a fee to pay for the organ and flowers. Required senior dues, close to twenty dollars the year before, reached an all-time low at twelve thirty-five. Each senior then signed a contract in which he could pledge to pay for and participate in any of the other listed activities. SENIOR BOARD — FRONT ROW: E. Grunseth, D. Specht, C. Pringle, A.
