efadd Jfidlloluf of fame, 7944 On September 9, 1940, a group of innocent freshies gazed with awe upon the portals of West High School. Little did anyone realize that they were to become one of the most distinguished groups of scholars ever to graduate from this superior institute of learning-a class of beauty, brains, and brawn, the class of June, 1944. The class first displayed its intelligence in 9B when thirty-six of its members made the honor roll. Ed Finney, Floyd Azar, Ralph Mc- Combs, and Jack Wigley also made the reserve football team. Further recognition was brought to our class in 9A when Midge Mettler, Ruth Newman, Homer Hunsicker, Chester Hayth, and Jim Berk were elected to the Student Council. That same semes- ter Pat Garrigan and Betty Beichly were chosen to attend the Hi-Y Queen. Again thirty-six members of the class made the honor roll. After surviving the difficulties of the freshman year the class got off to a flying start in 10B. Jake Conn, soon to become West's most famous ticket-seller, took ovei the job of cheerleading. Joanne Weeks be- came president of the Junior Girl Reserves, Midge Mettler, vice-president, Barbara Hanlon, treasurerg and Marcella Rosemnan, secretary. Thirty-two of our pupils made the honor roll. In the spring of '42 Chuck McManis was elected p1'esident of the Junior Hi-Y, Tom Brennan, secretary: Bob Wag- ner, chaplain: and Dick Michelson, ser- geant-at-arms. Pat Garrigan and Lemoine Meyers attended the Hi-Y Victory Queen. Again we were well represented on the honor roll by forty-one members. In the fall of 1942, the class finally reach- ed the status of upper classmen, 11B's. The Student Council elected Jim Berk, president and Bobbie Powell, treasurer. Bob Wagner, Dick Michelson, and Tom Egan were elected president, vice-president, and secretary re- spectively of the Senior Hi-Y. Twenty-six made the honor roll. When spring, 1943 rolled around, West High won the city bas- ketball championship. Ed Finney, Jack Wig- ley, Jim Dew, Bill Mohr, and John Stafford were the mainstays of the team. Midge Mettler was elected secretary of the Stu- dent Council and Florence Goldberg presi- dent of the Junior Red Cross. At last we reached our senior year in the fall of 1943-a date to be remembered. It was then that those men of might, Bill Lezos, Jim Dew, Bill Mohr, John Stafford. Chet Hayth, Ed Finney, Ralph McCombs, Floyd Azar, Stan Gustely, and Carl Rice gave West the football championship. Floyd Azar, captain of the All-City team, made the All-State team, as did Chet Hayth and Jim Hamm. Officers of the class were Jake Conn, presidentg Jack Wigley, vice-presi- dent: and Carmen Morse, secretary. The Senior Girl Reserves elected as their presi- dent, Margaret Gulickg vice-president, Bar- bara Hanlong secretary, Jean Huber: and treasurer, Barbara Kester. The Senior Hi- Y elected Don Hatch, Arden Tiley and Chuck McManis as officers. The Senior Choral Club presented the operetta, Iolanthe. under the direction of Mrs. Hanson with Bob Wagner, Jake Conn, Tony Palazzo, and Bobbie Powell taking the leads. Florence Goldberg, Ruth Newman, Matthew Margolis, Midge Mettler, Melanie Singer, Deloris Lovell, Bob Wagner, Gor- don Huber. Joanne Weeks, Homer Hunsic- ker, Doris Wells, Dorothy Vitello, Catherine Barlas, Dick Hall, and Bobbie Powell were admitted to the National Honor Society. Officers were Bob Wagner, president, Bob- bie Powell, vice-president, and Ruth New- man, secretary-treasurer. After a brilliant struggle we reached our ultimate goal-our last semester. New members of the Honor Society were Maxine Abbott, Jim Berk. Janet Cox. Doris Dorman, Caroline Eman- uele, Margaret Gulick, Barbara Kent, and Joyce Loeb. Anna Rae Inman became G. I. Queen and John Singer was Girl Reserve King. Jack Wigley was voted the most val- uable man on the basketball team, and Jim Dew made the All-City team. Class offi- cers were elected-Don Hatch, president: Bob Wagner, vice-president: Midge Mettler. secretary: and Dorothy Vitello, treasurer. At this graduation time the members of the class of June, 194-1 are thinking more seriously than ever before of the future. We are thinking of the boys from the 1944 class who have gone into the service of our coun- try. They are Chet Hayth, Jim Hamm, Jim Sarvis, Burton Hall, Bob Uhl, Bill Mohr, Russell Parish, Robert Burr, Ed Finney. and Jim Crisp. We promise to follow their good example, and to do the best we can to make the future bright for the graduating classes that will follow. Bobbie Powell, ln Behalf of the Class of June, 1944 pjzte .'..i,y-9.1 A
