Class History By SIDNEY GLICK Early in the year 1935 a group of players, hav' ing completed eight years of training in the neighbor' ing grammar schools, came to West High to play an important football game. They were the freshies of the class of '39. Their goal was graduation and they had an excellent chance of reaching it, for they were coached by those six famous coaches, Hinkle, Culp, Tucker, Murdock, VJilliams, and Bockstahler. The freshies were given the ball on the 9-B line, first down and four years to go. Because they entered with a small team the players did not boost ,the school's enrollment very much and West ranked seventh in the city. The team was fortunate in not having to endure the torture of the tardy bell. It was eliminated the year they entered. The first thrill of the year came in March when the basketball team went to Columbus for the Efth consecutive time. joy was changed to sorrow, how' ever, when West was beaten by Dayton in the def ciding game. In May The Marriage of Nannetten, an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, was given by the glee club. Margaret Goldstein was the only member of the team to make the Lariat Honor Roll which was pub' lished in the same month. Everything was running smoothly until the op' position put Examination , that great defense player, into the game. Playing a great game Exam com- pletely disabled many of the players. Thoroughly tired, the team was ready for a rest. Time out was called in june for three months. Time was called in again in September when the players were completely rested and ready to go. Mr. Hinkle's duties as coach were taken over by Mr. A. J. Snearline. the former having been transferred to another school. A new fouripage Lariat was published that year to replace the two page edition. The new paper was issued every two weeks. ' Late in November the glee club scored a touch- down by presenting Tibbal and Eldredge's operetta, The Captain of Plymouth. The Christmas pageant, The-Little Town of Bethlehem, ' was presented for the third time on the auditorium stage under the direcf tion of Miss--Norma Williams. Time was called out to give the players a chance to enjoy Christmas. The game started again right after the New Year, the players finding themselves face to face with Final Exam . Having learned from 'experience the danger from this opposing player the team took no chances and prepared themselves thoroughly. Little difficulty was encountered and the fist year was com- pleted safely. . ' - The spring semester of '36 was eventful only in the field of sports. Besides the basketball team, West was represented in the city by a boxing, swimming, and baseball team, all of which were new sports at West. Louis Fabre and Irvin Reigle both found posif tions on the baseball team. The team spent most of its time in hard work, and they came out victorious when they again faced Icmuary. 1939 Final Exam in june. The players were then given three months to catch their breath before starting to work again. The whole school was proud of Coach Beichley and his football team who were undefeated city champions. Irvin Reigle was a member of that team. Louis Fabre and Irvin Reigle, the athletes of the class, were both on the 1937 basketball team which beat North High to win city honors. In May the Senior Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Albright Hanson, presented Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta The Mikado. Russell Kulchycl-ry was a member of the cast. Paying little attention to Exam the team again took a few months' rcst and came back in the fall to see West again win the city football championship. Late in january the glee club and orchestra gave a concert here at West High. Leo Anastos played in a woodwind quartet. With the humbling of Final Exam the team completed the third quarter of the game and started on the fourth and most important period. Early in March the team met to elect officers. Louis Fabre was elected presidentg Mary Schiller, vice' presidentg Rose Saitta, secretaryg and Rose Rothkin, treasurer. The Trysting Place , a play given by the Dramatic Club, was presented to the school on April 6. Bert Felton played one of the leading roles. Soon afterwards the Senior Glee Club traveled to Kent to enter a music contest. The girls won a superior rating and went on to Columbus .to win an' other superior rating and the state championship. The team gladly took the three months time out which had to rest them enough for the final plunge. The new Rodeo staff in September included Florence Vanni as girls' editor and Russell Kulchycky as boys' editor. The team met for the second time in October to elect new officers. Abe Daven was elected new vice' presidentq Russell Kulchycky, secretary: and Betty Rogers, treasurer. No change was made in the presif dency as Louis Fabre was unanimously reelected. The Ghost Story was given by the Dramatic Club on October 27. Mary Schiller and Bert Felton were included in the cast. With the close of the semester drawing near, Miss Clark, that famous sports writer, announced the selection of the school's outstanding senior players. Norman Zucker, Margaret Goldstein, Leo Anastos, Jack Lederman, Edward Waitzkin, and Sidney Glick were picked as new members of the National Honor Society. The Senior Glee Club played to full houses two nights when they presented Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operetta Iolanthe. ' Much of its success was due to Eddie Waitzkin. Now with the presentation of senior chapel the senior activities come to a close. The .team will settle down to a few weeks more of hard practice prior to crossing the goal of graduation. 11
