Throughout the day, signs were created, cars were transformed into parade material , alumni was socializing. At 12:30 the Talent Show began and proved to be polished, effective, and diverse. At the pep fest the cheerleaders got the crowd roaring and cheering so that West would Ride the Teddies Rough. The onlookers and the onlookees then rushed out to the parking lot to prepare for the parade. At 3:00 the game began where our valiant Cowboys bowed to the overpowering Teddies. The dance was the perfect end to a rowdy day, as alumni and present Westites joined together to mark this traditional day at West. 14 15 Senior Attendant Angela Inveen Homecoming Queen Lisa Anderson Senior Attendant Sara Preston West Homecoming Seen Olympic Style Glamorized athletics was the theme for the 1978 Homecoming celebration. In the tradition of the Olympics, the royal runners sprinted through the hushed auditorium with lighted torches to officially open the festivities. M.C.’s Tricia Conroy and Jerry Velasquez introduced the six sparkling representatives of sports. Following this introduction, the regal court was escorted to the stage where they awaited the crowning of the queen. After principal Dean Berntsen proclaimed October 6th to be a West High holiday and Stephanie Johnson spoke her last words as 1977 Homecoming queen, the royal referee revealed the results of the vote. Pandemonium broke loose as Lisa Anderson was crowned Queen. Excitement subsided as Henry Dougherty sang, “Love is All Around to the court and its subjects. West's 1977 Homecoming Queen. Stephanie Johnson, addresses her subjects for the last time. West High's landmark sports, represented here by L. Anderson. R. Thomas. M. Foster. D. Phillips. N. Overby, and S. Foehringer. 17 Westites get into the rowdy atmosphere in the old gym. Charlie Morrison and a happy cheerleader. Lisa Plaisance. Warm Up To School A fun way to meet newcomers to West and to also get together with old friends is to attend the Cheerleader-sponsored first dance of the school year. After the football team's valiant effort on the newly-sodded field against Marshall-U. the dance was an invigorating way to forget about the schedule mix-ups and homework of the first weeks of school. Highlights of the four hour blast included the absence of lights in the gym, 95° heat, new cheerleading sweaters, attacks by bees, and hot, sticky dances. Chaperones Mr. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Beenken, and advisor Mrs. Morgan seemed to withstand the decibels produced both by the band. UpFront, and the rowdy students. Senior Cha Cha Inveen hams it up. 18 Todd Smith finds that the first dance of the year is a good excuse for a slow dance with cheerleader Ann Dahlgren. Westites Munch Out Westites' eating habits could be expressed in one word- OINK! Known for their fondness for food, the students are far from uptight, reluctant, or polite about the quantities of nourishment which they consume. Delicacies masticated at West include TAB and peanuts, English muffins, Texas toast, granola bars, shakes, french fries, pizza, salads, and ice cream. Favorite nutritional sources include the salad bar, snack bar. pop machine, and Mr. Beh-rendt’s store. Popcorn, pretzels, and pop are practically inhaled at football and basketball games. Teachers are notorious for their cakes and doughnuts hidden away in their lounges, lunchroom, desk drawers, drawers, and closets. Outside of school, they hang out at the Rainbow Cafe, the Rustler, or William's Pub. Students' hangouts include McDonald's, the Rustler, Arby’s, Zantigo, Burger King, Baskin Robbins, Brid-geman’s, the Big Cheese, Winchell’s, Carbonne's, and Weigh To Go. It is unknown how teachers burn them off, but the calories ingested by students are usually burned off through sports or other activities. It could be concluded that the way to a Cowboy’s heart is through his or her stomach. 20 Graby your partner and do-si-do! Gals, Go Get ’em It was that time of year again, when the gals chased the guys around with brooms, bats, and everything they could get their hands on. When finally cornering them, the question “I was wondering .... was sheepishly asked. This year, however. the Sadie Hawkins dance had a few changes. The dance was held in the new gym, and for the first time was a disco. At the dance, Daisy Mae, Sue Dornbach and Mar-ryin Sam. Phil Tillman hitched up couples in the “biffy while sherrifs were hauling the guys off to jail, where they could be freed with a kiss from their gals. The 1978 Marryin Sam and Daisy Mae.

Andrea Marcos and Lynn Viebohn congratulate the winner. What mouse? 22 Deb Luner and Pete Schwob prepare for coronation. Laurie S. and Kris 0. share an exciting moment Sophomores romp in the snow. “Don’t Freak Out, Flake Out With winter’s sub-zero temperatures and six-foot snow drifts, this year’s Sno-Daze was a frozen week of festivities. Lasting from February fifth to the ninth, Sno-Daze contests planned were the ice-cream ecting contest, the guessing game, snow races, broomball. and the end-of-the-week talent show. Unfortunately very few of these activities actually happened. Sno-Daze had promised to warm us but at the end of the week we were left in the cold. Although coronation. the dance, and a few limited events were held, the majority of the student body was left with a vague memory of the 1979 Sno-Daze.

With a carnation in his pin stripe suit Charlie Morrison is ready for action. I wouldn’t take that picture if I were you! “Twas The Night Before Winter Break” Anticipating a wild and well-earned two weeks of vacation, Westies put on their disco clothes and freaked out to the music of T. Kail. Converging at the Normandy, the partying seniors, juniors, sophs, and even froshs met for a few hours of elbow-to-elbow dancing. While it is hard to say exactly what kinds of visions were dancing through their heads, it is safe to assume that no one was thinking of homework. Doctor Fay-row demonstrates his famous disco-dance. Do you think he'll ask me? 25 ular brands of toilet paper used to enhance the houses and schools of friends and foe. TPing. contrary to the belief of many, is an art form and not a form of vandalism. Like any art form, the quality depends upon the artisan. The true artisan carefully studies the building and its surrounding landscape before he throws the first roll. Such careful studying insures the proper utilization of features like picket fences, gas lamps, trimmed shrubs, pine trees, and larger shade trees. In addition, the true artisan understands that for the work to be effective, large quantities of toilet paper, at least fifty rolls, must be used. Furthermore, the use of green and white toilet paper is recognized as an effective technique when TPing schools of the opposition. Lastly, the true artisan never gives up. He continues, despite interference from those who don’t appreciate the art form, until the desired impression is achieved. 26 .THAN A PLAce no PARff y0u The back parking lot is as much a part of West as is the lunchroom, the new gym, or room 300. Besides parking your car there, one can indulge in a little freestyle frisbee, throw a football, socialize with some friends, smoke a cigarette, relax on a ‘64 Ford, disco on a 77 Aspen, or wait for a ride home. The back parking lot is also the site of the annual Homecoming Pep Fest and the meeting place for T.P. attack forces. Activity begins with intensity in the fall, the beginning of the school year. This fall the most active group seems to have been the bees, hornets, and wasps. Soon, with the arrival of Minnesota's artic climate, only a few diehard students brave the sub-zero temperatures to smoke a cigarette. Eventually, warmer temperatures arrive, the snow and ice melt, and the dead bees from last fall thaw. The spring and anticipated end of school stimulate the lot’s most vigorous activity. Following the end of school, the lot passes into a state of dormancy with the exception of Mr. Allen and his behind the wheel students. 27 Good always triumphs over evil. Grimmes!

Pianist Amy Walsh helps director Ted Stelten babysit” the senior cast. 28 Zounds! Ms. Yesperson. can no one be trusted? I cannot thank you enough, kind sir. Now my tiny Banana Land Republic will be like any other modern nation! Zounds! It’s A Melodrama! Amidst the shambles of the humble cottage, next to the Smog Machine in the executive office, and from one end of Sunny Beach to the other the cries could be heard. The cast of the senior class play “Dirty Work In High Places” cried out, “Mr. Stelten, teach us the ‘Pose.’” The ‘Pose’ was the newest, most mysterious disco move, known only to “disco director” Ted Stelten. Andy tried to satisfy his peers with a Mick Jagger imitation, Jim hoped a slob contest would raise some spirits, and Mr. Stelten tried a diversion tactic by waltzing with Dana. The choreography for the Dirty Tricks Department provided some amusement, as did Matt’s “Rotten” solo, but the actors wanted more than that. “Toys” such as the 25,000 volt Smog Machine, Irve’s cigar, hat, boots, shades, and gun, complete with blanks, were fun for the cast to play with. Sometimes, however, they got .too exuberant and babysitter” Stelten threatened, It’s out into the snow or “into the paper shredder with you.” By keeping in mind the traditional senior motto “Homework? What homework?” the semi-Thespians survived laughing attacks, backstage jitters, cold hands, and the wild cast party. Above all. the cast remembered to “have an o--,” “be revolting. and to “knock before entering the dressing room of the opposite sex. Oh joy! Oh happiness! Widow Aged is running for Mayor! You all know me-honest Gentle Grimmes. My reputation is below reproach. 29 '-'j I («I • - “Here’s To The Winners!” Captains Nancy Jenkins and Ann Holt Highsteppers-seniors first row L. to R.: K.

The Highsteppers are truly a major part of West High School. They dance at basketball games, football games, palm at hockey games, sponsor Sadie Hawkins Dance, and the Highsteppers Ball. Aside from this, they compete in the Aquatennial danceline competition each year and have won it the past two years. This year for the first time they competed in the St. Paul Winter Carnival. In October they were filmed for a special program to be aired for the Super Bowl. The Highsteppers also appeared in the style show at Orchestra Hall. Captained by Nancy Jenkins and Ann Holt, the Highsteppers are a close group that work well together. Dancing to popular Disco songs, the Highsteppers perform as the crowd “goes wild.” The Highsteppers launch into the ever popular ribbon. 33 Smile! Watch out Rockettes!

Ann Manzara Years ago a cheerleader brought certain images to mind: smiling robots, carbon copies of the all-American girl. Now. at West, the cheer-leading image has changed. There is no typical cheerleader-cheerleaders seem to be more representative of all Westites, not just the popular group. Our squads are still rowdy and spirited-that hasn’t changed!-yet, more easy going, not playing a role. At hockey, football, wrestling, or basketball games, West’s cheerleaders can frown and smile. Rah-rah and sigh while still upholding the player’s and student’s morales. Our ingenious cheerleaders not only bring more fun to the game through their attitudes, they also invent cheers that use popular expressions-e.g. don’t give me no jive , ooh, check it out , and deadly defeat! Pam Hickman stretches her legs and her smiles for the game! The chill of fall football doesn't stop West's cheer- Pep and smiles embodied in Senior Dana Gross, leaders. 35 The Hesperian Staff Produces A Landmark! Todd Smith reviews quality of his photographs.

The flurry of activity that goes into producing a yearbook is greatly evident right before a deadline. Amid the last minute typing, cropping, and checking the final touches on everything, one can hear cries of: Dana, where’s your copy key? Will somebody help me write a caption for this picture? Al, what happened to your artwork that was just in this envelope? Todd, did you get those pictures from Haga yet? and so on. After all the pages are done and mailed there is a short period of time in which the staff can rest and recuperate from the rush of the previous deadline.

The pressures of a deadline and a blank sheet of paper can do strange things to a Westite. Perhaps the best way to understand the crazy 5th hour atmosphere in room 310, where Joan Bradach is “shared” by the yearbook and newspaper staffs, is to read an actual transcript of the dialogue that takes place. Hereafter, the staff’s lines shall be identified by WW. for ‘Wrowdy Writers , while the pearls of wisdom uttered by Miss Bradach shall be identified by B , for “the Boss .

However, many have probably never noticed several architectural features of the school. One feature is the owls on both sides of the two front doors. These symbolize the wisdom the stu-dent should have when he exits through these doors at the end of the day. Another feature is the cornerstone by the north back door that reads. Erected 1916 A.D. W.B. Itner”. However, this is not the year in which the school was built 40 Ever Noticed? but the year in which that wing of the school was added. Still another feature is the tiled mosiacs above the back doors. Lastly, have you ever noticed the blocked up circular windows in the center court of West. Those were once stained glass windows at the back of the old auditorium. Other features include the relief statues at the landings of the front stairs, the stone shields high above the back doors, and the fanned windows above the front doors and above the front windows. So seniors, when you walk through an entrance for the 1441st or 3001 time, take a good look! 41 Student Council Makes Its Mark Trisha Carney and Jackie Okerland consider Diana Phillips and Chris Osterberg review the minutes, both sides. New members find the '’formalities of the meeting amusing. What are we going to do?” 42 Student Council First Row L. to R.: S. Farringer. J. Okerland. N. Overby. M. Birk-V. P.. L. Streitz, J. Sands.

Meet the Pres — Carl Hobert. With Trisha’s colorful minutes and Carl’s profound P.A. announcements the Student Council made its mark this year. Working on such projects as Homecoming. Prom, and the cleaning up of the school, the Council showed its governing potential. These projects aren’t enough for president Carl Hobert. however, he thinks that there should be more communication between the Council and the students. It is Carl’s belief that if the communication opens up the school would become a better place. 43 No Need To Argue This year’s debate team was made up of many underclassmen, but gained experience quickly. The team acquired a third place trophy in the Metro Debate League with a record of 18 wins and 6 losses. They participated in district competition at Southwest and regularly competed at Breck. In both of these events, the teams debated both sides of an issue, a test which is more difficult and requires more preparation than supporting only one side of an issue. Larry Kaplan waits his turn. Beca Day and Russell Thornton. An important part of debate- preparation. 44 Laura Simpson delivers her argument. Lend Them Your Ears Speech Club: 1st Row: J. Wilson. E. Bermann. 2nd. Row; J. Cody. S.

West High Students, lend them your ears..This past years Speech Club attended many tournaments where they competed with many other schools in numerous aspects of speech. Advisor Mrs. Plant, along with returning veterans Ellen Bermann and Eva Rosenn helped guide the club to an excellent season. Members of the club spoke individually in such areas as interpretive, humorous, and extemperaneous reading. Although it wasn't the most popular activity at West this past year, the Speech Club continued to provide students with experience in expressing themselves and in developing themselves as rounded and interesting individuals. All the members listen attentively to their advisor. Mrs. Plant. Eva Rosenn and Ellen Bormann review notes for an upcoming meet. 45 Westites Weather Winter Wonderland Kneeling L. to R.; D. Gross. D.

Lance Plummer makes -20 degrees seem comfortable. This year, as in the past, the ski club planned one trip to Michigan during winter break and one trip to Montana during energy break. The trip to Michigan was hampered somewhat by temperatures as low as twenty degrees below zero and wind chill temperatures down to fifty below. Many skiers sought protection behind silver plastic ski masks, which gave them a decidedly alien appearance. Red Lodge, Montana, was the site for this year’s energy break ski trip. Unlike the trips in other years, the ski club was not accompanied by clubs from other schools. Living accommodations were in the form of two large condominiums complete with kitchens, so the skiers could cook for themselves. True skiers only bring the necessities. Todd Smith goes to any length to get a picture of himself. Judy Martin and Jody Ullom: Monday morning. Jan. 1 47 Martians Dave Kellam and Chris Tack watch a wipe-out. Sing A It Will Make Sunrise, our dynamic vocal group helped make many of our auditorium programs and concerts memorable. Year after year our vocal groups have entertained the school with their exciting song and dance. This year, the new director, Wayne Harrington, said that the most difficult aspect of directing Sunrise was to bring the group together and have them perform as one. The group succeeded and excelled on Homecoming and at their Christmas concert, where they sang their favorite song, Jingle Bell Travelogue . All will agree, talent is alive and well in West High, and it is most apparent in Sunrise. Song, Your Day Henry and Company come on stage. Pop Group First Row L. to R.: S. Olson. M. Lund. Z.

Olson. E. Rosenn. President. I. Plaisance. S. Schwartz Members of the 1978-1979 National Honor Society exhibited the traditional qualities of leadership, scholarship, citizenship, service, and character. The group was also endowed with '‘venerable traits of procrastination and pass-the-buck-ism. NHS members proved their courage by withstanding Paineful wit and humor. The group had many diverse skills of organization and planning as shown by a cooking contest, a college information booklet, and an almost-NHS Fine Arts Auditorium. Salesmanship however was the most priminent characteristic of the NHS. Pancake breakfast ticket, candy cane, carnation, and valentine sales allowed West’s chapter members to use their talents of persuasion and perseverance. President Eva Rosenn presided over the first group, inducted in May 1978. as well as the second group of seniors, inducted in January 1979. Both groups blended together every other Thursday to hear Secretary Sue Nammacher’s minutes, Treasurer John Ibelle's financial report, and as usual, to procrastinate. Pres. Rosenn discusses project with advisor J. Paine Dave Kellam attracts scholars' attention Band Marches On To Success For Homecoming West acquired a marching band. Stage Band: K. Vogel, drums. A. Walsh, piano. J. Ibele. bass. S. Moskel. guitar. A. Marcos, sax. B. Fabes. sax. B. Fitch, sax. C. Tack, trumpet. D. Kellam, trombone. W. Hastings, trumpet. A. Yates, trombone. Chris Tack, senior, leads the powerful trumpet section. Bob Fitch honks out a bass line. Will Hastings delivers a jazzy melody. Stage band boogies on Al Yates’ arrangement of Star Trek. An integral part of every auditorium: the Band! Building your chops 7:30 A.M. may not sound like a blast to most of us, but for the members of the almost all-senior stage band, an early morning jam is just what they need to start the day. The flashy dressers develop their technique and work toward a powerful jazz sound that will blow you away. Great talent enables the group to conduct themselves in rehearsal and performances and they even compose their own material. For many underclass men in the concert band. 4th hour is a saner hour to face pages of musical notes. Wayne Keifer, the band director, found many frustrations in his new job, such as, shrinking enrollment. However, the band harmonized in time for their first concert of the year, held in the new gym along with the other music groups. Band: First Row; I. to r.; R. Jones, J. Tilsen, C. Tack, D. Pirner, J.

The students partake in a wide variety of activities. Included in the activities are competing in soccer and broomball games, planning annual picnics, going to movies, preparing meals in class as well as eating out at restaurants. If you like food, fun and excitment but more importantly, want to learn about a culture and its language, come join a language class at West. Row 1: Jane Jensen. Dina Schermerhorn. Rob Pineda.

Another group whose work we see is the Stage Crew. This past year, our Stage Crew provided us with many exciting stage sets including the Homecoming Coronation display and the excellent sets they built for the Senior Class play, Dirty Work in High Places . However, there are groups at West that we seldom see or hear. Although they lack recognition, they did much for the school. The Audio Visual aides provided classrooms with projectors and record players; the library aides helped our librarians catalog and organize books and reference materials; and our office aides helped with the switchboard and paper work. 54 P.A.

Take A Look At Chic Walking down the halls of West you find yourself surrounded by down vests, French-cut and Levi jeans, Treetorn tennis shoes, and computer football games. What is this madness? To what do we owe all of these common products? These are the latest fads and fashions. Hanging in the closet on this page are a few examples of the popular fashions and fads of this school year. All of these things, from togas to flashy hats to overalls, represent the chic apparel. If you’ve been buying Adidas and painter’s pants, stop, take a look at this page, and get with it! Munnimnn .

West lost to Central after leading almost the whole game and edging the Central team in statistics. According to Coach McNamer, these losses caused a mental letdown, which affected the team’s ability to play consis-tantly good football. One of the bright spots of the season was West’s quality of play in the first quarter of the game against Edison. Here the team showed that they had the talent and ability to play good football, but that the problem was maintaining that quality of play throughout an entire game or season. In a conference where mostly all-senior footall teams are needed to win games, West’s football team did its very best. Al Cornelius does some fancy running. Phil Tillman.

Varsity Letters At Last! For the first time in the history of West High Soccer, the players were able to earn varsity letters. However, they had to earn the money to buy the letters. In addition, the “varsity team purchased new uniforms this season. Since they are not an official team, the soccer team has no transportation, little money, no conference to participate in, only one coach, and little support or recognition. The “Outlaws” had a good season under the leadership of captains. Fred Goetz and Kirk Vogel. The great leaders managed to win only one toss of the coin out of 16 games. Coach Hargreaves commented that the team probably did not play up to its potential this year, but he has hope for the freshmen-sophomore team which he called the best trained and skilled group West has had.

Coach Joan Bradach believed that since the varsity team had been playing together for four years, they had developed a sense of trust in one another and therefore played well together. The women also gave credit to co-captains Deb Luker and Sue Clark. The season highlights included: a schedule extension which added three non-conference games with St. Paul schools: games played in the new gym; and family night at which over one hundred relatives and other fans showed up for the game. Miss Bradach sees a lot of potential in the junior varsity squad and hopes that they will be as productive as this year’s varsity team was. The effects of a vigorous game are evident on the faces of Dana Gross. Laura Conery rises to the occasion. Ginny Buran. Laura Conery. and Lisa Anderson. Homecoming brings all. Fans Don Down Vests And Warm Mittens These are some of the symbols of fall fans at West. Among the fall sports, which include football, soccer, cross-country, vollyball, tennis, and swimming, football seems to attract the most fans. They encourage their football team with cheers, noisemakers, and, of course, cries of “whoop-dee-doo.” Students are not the only fans who attend the fall sports. Parents are a common sight and frequently outnumber the students at many games. The important thing, however, is not the age of the fan but that they are there to give their support to the athletes.

Boys’ Basketball Team Tackles Problems The Boy’s Basketball Team had a very interesting season this year. The team was plagued by serious problems throughout the entire season, yet they ended up with a winning record. In their first game against Central, the team's first-half caliber of play hinted that they might make their first game a winning one. However, in a hard-fought second half. West lost to a determined Central team 61-58. The brawl at the Edison game on December 15 caused obvious problems. In addition, dissension was always visible on the team. The team’s establishment of a winning record despite such major problems was a tribute to their playing ability. Adam Lindsay contemplates the play. Behrendl checks game plan.

The girl's basketball team suffered a disappointing season this year, finishing without a win. Coach Behrendt sites several reasons for their lack of success: Too many injuries: Lack of underclassmen interest: Discipline problems: Lack of returning veterans. Consequently, the team was inexperienced, short of players, and unable to compete against varsity squads having 20-30 members. Although, many lack basketball ability and knowledge, the players who stayed out for the team were hard working and determined. P. Clark makes her move. The team gathers to charge for a win.

The shortage of members had a limiting effect on the team's success. However, the team swam to a 4 and 5 city record, the best since 1972, behind several successful individuals. Captain William Hastings was defeated only once in the 100 breast and 200 I.M. and is hoping to place first or second in the city. Likewise, Bill Whitlock was also defeated only once in the 100 back and should also place first or second in the city meet. Once again, John Robinson was defeated only once in the diving competition and is hoping to place third or fourth in the city meet. In addition, a good performance in the city meet is expected from Clay Gustafson in the 500 freestyle. Captain Hasty commented that John Bailly has improved vastly and should be great in the years to come. Overall, Coach Hargreaves was pleased with the team’s improvement, especially that of John Bailly, Judd Walsh, and Chris Childers, and the team's attitude. He also expects the team to finish fourth or fifth in the city meet. John Robinson practices his 60-story Superman dive.

Remember Animal Crackers And Nerf Balls? Animal crackers, Nerf footballs, and stolen chairs sound like the things you would find in a kindergarten class but surprisingly they are all part of the cross-country ski team. From this description one gets the idea that they did more than ski this year. The feasts of animal crackers and the snow football games, which were sometimes played with skis on, provided a release from the tension of the meets. Although the team suffered from lack of participation, they had a fairly good season which included both wins and losses. The skiers kept in shape through practices held both at West, where they could be heard yelling at the top of their lungs as they ran through the halls, and at Theodore Wirth Park, where they got their skiing experience. Since the downhill ski team was cut last year there has been some question as to keeping the cross-country ski team, but as long as they have skiers, equipment, and animal crackers, the cross-country ski team will stay with us. Another team feast of animal crackers and other munchies. Let me show you how it’s done! John Beckman sprints toward the finish 91 Fans watch with intensity. Dave Rauma explains the game of basketball to Richard Chalfen. 92 Winter Fans Warm Winter Winter fans displayed remarkable spirit this year by showing up in great numbers at many sports activities. Part of the reason for the increase in fans undoubtedly was the construction of the new West High Gym, with its concession stand and its ability to handle large crowds. Boy’s Varsity Basketball and Hockey clearly drew the most fans of all the winter sports, and also the most attention. Swimming, Gymnastics. Girl's Basketball, Wrestling, and Cross Country Skiing also drew spirited fans, although in fewer numbers. However, the most spirit of the season was shown at the West - Edison basketball game, on December 15, when Westites showed they really could strive with might. The concession stand serves fans during half-time. ACADEMICS ■ - % “FILL IN THE BLANK” What do the people pictured on this page have in common?

Richard Maxwell -1 Engineers Design Cells The Industrial Arts Department, which includes Drafting, Metals, Machine Foundry, Photography, and Electronics. accomodates the student who needs to use more than one classroom for a project. Students print most of the school’s printed matter, and they print all the school's newspapers. The emphasis in thelndustrial Arts Department is on training students in basics for use in a hobby or career in Industrial Arts. West’s Math Department, which teaches one of the city’s few probability and statistics courses, has a reputation of being very comprehensive. This department not only offers a wide variety of subjects, but also offers classes of varying difficulty within these subjects. Also, the Math Department offers counseling to students in an attempt to place them in the classes which would most serve their needs. The Science Department, which will be long remembered for its cowboy boots, Hawiian shirts, hockey uniforms, and Bermuda shorts, has complete facilities and feels that more students should be using them. Unfortunately the reverse is occur-ing. According to the Science Department Chairman, Mr. Thomas, this could be attributed to open registration, more diverse student interests, or decreased student enrollment. Since more and more of what goes on in our world today concerns science, the objective of the Science Department is to develop in each student a solid science backround.

Ed.: Since the opening of the new gymnasium there has been a marked change in the facilities for the Phy. Ed.Health Department. Among the improvements are: more space, better storage areas, and equal gym space for both the men and the women. “Although teaching styles have not changed, according to Mr. Voss, teaching gym has become more fun.” Special Ed: Special education classes include reading, math, social studies, and science. The basic goal of the five teachers is to educate the students to the level where thy can do well in the regular classes. ‘‘Main streaming, one of several changes brought about by new federal legislation, means that the student must spend the majority of his time in regular classes. In order to fulfill this goal each instructor teaches small classes in the basics of the subject. One of the good things about our program, according to Dick Schultz, is that the school has made much progress in meeting these students’ needs.” Music: Replacement of teachers in the Music Department surprised West’s students at fall registration. The students believe that both Mr. Keifer and Mr. Harrington are doing a good job. Mr. Keifer enjoys the variety his job gives in teaching both concert and stage bands, guitar, and piano. Mr. Harrington has more than enough work because after teaching choir and pop group here all morning, he goes to Central High and teaches there in the afternoon.

Bob Westite earns credit and money at Hermanson Burger King World Opened For Study, Work And Play Whether you are studying geography. ecology, world culture, or government, social studies plays an important role in helping students understand their surroundings. By learning from the classes offered. West students get a complete view of the world today. yesterday and tomorrow Of all the programs one can join, who would want to join a work program? Although the name may not sound too appealing. the context is! The work program gives each individual an opportunity to go out into the community and work. Not only does the student receive credit for this experience, one also is paid and treated like a regular employee. This experience can be quite profitable, for students learn valuable training and may be on their way to a future profession. Do you like to dance or act? Are you interested in music, visual art. art history, or humanities? And finally, do you enjoy going out into the community and meeting people who share the same interests as you? If you answered yes to any of the above questions you would probably be interested in the urban arts program. Free form dancing is a skill not easily learned A combination of stretch and muscle.

Marie Panchyshyn Terry Crawford West’s cooks served a slightly different function this year as a result of the decision to make hot lunches at a central nutrition center. Since they only have to heat up the hot lunch, they now have time to grill hamburgers, make French fries, toast, and English muffins, and serve breakfast to low income students during snack break. When the janitorial staff isn’t busy with the endless job of keeping the school clean, they gather in the engineer’s room to talk, read, chase bats, kill bats, cut the grass, or retrieve volleyballs. The policemen assigned to West serve numerous functions, including the jobs of hall monitor and law enforcer, a duty which has been called to use often this year. The office aides monitor the telephone calls from both inside the building and calls from the outside. They work in the school office along with the secretaries, who do some of the administration’s paper work and keep the school’s records. i Wayne Wever. Hard at work! Eileen Habig.

Although the shock of being the first Freshmen at West to come from Anwatin was great, the Class of ‘80 eventually learned to adapt to high school life. It was not until this year, however, that the Juniors learned what it means to work taking such classes as Mr. Thomas's I don’t get it Chemistry class and Miss Westby's Oh the homework and themes writing classes. All this work doesn’t intimidate the Juniors because they still have time to hang out in room 300 and McDonald’s and to party on the weekends. Altonen. David Amlee. Dale Amlee. Duane Anderson.

Only a few individuals spot it but soon even they disappear into their respective classrooms. Suddenly a bell rings and instantaneously the once immaculate hall is stuffed with shuffling students. This happens every day at West. It is an activity commonly overlooked but one which touches every student and faculty member at West. This is the passing period. The activity during the passing period has become an almost ritualistic practice. From the group of girls walking slowly down the hall to the two freshmen running one after the other, the scene is the same every day only the people change. Passing period is a time for rest, for preparation, or for going to the locker for a new load of books and a short conversation. Whatever it is used for the time between the bells” is a much appreciated part of every student’s school day. MO RES Sophomores, although often overlooked by juniors and seniors, are worthy of recognition for their contributions to West. They are seen hanging out in Room 300, the lunchroom, the library, and even the back parking lot. imitating upperclassmen. Sophomores were aged by coping with their first Westby themes, refilling Beenken’s teapot, writing preambles for Tornquist, enduring long lines at Mr. B’s store, cringing at Kielty and Backhaus’ jokes, and being hyptonized by Shelton’s gopher sweater. Baxter’s impressions also made an impression on the “Sparkling Sophs of 1978-79. Great advancements were made when the sophomore boys and girls discovered each other at dances, the school picnic, snack breaks, and those fine West parties. Through their involvement in student council, sports teams, cheerleading, and highstepping, the class tried to live up to its goal to be the “most spirited, rowdy, and humorous” class.

At auditoriums they were silent, in the halls they were tripped over, and in classrooms, rarely seen. However, as the year progressed, their spirit began to explode at pep-fests and football games, and they found a hang-out, the first floor halls. Their first year at West High was hard for them, everybody seemed so large! But Freshman will not give up hope — they will grow and who knows, in a couple of years they may venture up to the third floor.
