Today is no different. From the broad scope of the world's prohlems and accomplishments, to the individuals at West High, these characteristics of mankind are apparent. A concern for others is an earmark of todayis society. Whether working through the United Nations, campaigning against air and water pollution, helping with the War on Poverty, or volunteering for the Peace Corps, the people of today are vitally concerned with the direction of man. But the nation is not by any means united in the opinions toward events around the world. Hippies advocating free love and less rigid drug laws, draft card burners protesting the Vietnam War, and groups rioting to show their feelings toward Civil Rights, are all a part ofthis decade. 4 ti I1 Q 1 IE 1 A 1 Q K N N W YORK SAP? - N Y K Si E na ,1 191:27-T968 S I., fradgnu for fha week: ew M ack xc mw1Hiah Low lfixdggl High Low Last 1 96?- H' h 191. 58524 4 335' 46341 nno ation nriches radition 1 968 Weekl New York Stocks we: cm, -,AM 111171-1 93?'2fClT 1: 1115.511 5 1113111 11111 we 1 3?

Boys holding up the walls, all the while eyeing females parading before them in their new- ly acquired Hnery, annual dances, banquets, athlet- ic events, and the inevitable seven-period routine, regulate the lives of students at West this year, as they had in the past, and will for years to come. 9 Individuals felt this surge of innovations, too, as they participated in new programs. Forming their own opinions, and shaping their personalities by the numerous environments they found themselves in, stu- dents and teachers learned to cope with new situations and learn from new experiences. As the environment changed, a change was necessary in the individual. This progress within each person many times takes the form of a willingness to adapt. By learning to cope with these new situations, students at West reached a new-found ma- turity. an f LQ s x Q- H ., N: aw sf 5 ar f sv r J if , .k,. .3 -..T- -vw-T 'Q R wx -, E fs ,V QS. Qs- ?

The events covered in pre- vious years are again covered this year, but many more have been added. The sar- casm, tears, humor and in- sanity of each day has been captured through creative writings on the part of the author. Not only are there pictures to look at, but there is copy to read, copy that is worth reading. We've re- corded as we think you'll want to remember it.

Bi -.r 11 JF' all We W1 As a sign of our times, the flower children staged a demonstration at the Coronation aud. Many long hours were spent by WHS students on club floats and homeroom displays. Reflections on Falcon Days '67 by Debbie Burns Red balloons, an early white snow, and lingering patches of green grass, framed the muddy gridiron at Brady Street Stadium the night the West High Falcons played their 1967 Falcon Days game. The Falcons met the East Moline Panthers in a game which resulted in a 1961-7 victory for West. This was just one of many events that marked the celebration of the seventh annual Falcon Days. Couples danced the following evening, Oct. 28, in the WHS cafeteria amidst prize- winning displays and club floats. To reign over West's homecoming, Queen Vicki Smith, and her two attendants. Tony Rossow, and Kris Smith were elected by the student body. These girls were the chosen three out ofthe ten finalists who were nom- inated by the senior class. The other seven girls were Sandie Alger, Chris Allsbrow, Lorie Day, Becky Dyer, Julie Hagel, Sally Hogue and Sally Schick. The festivities also included the construc- tion of homeroom displays, which were to fit the theme of American History on Pa- rade. Collages entered in the contest were judged during Falcon Days week, and prizes were awarded for the categories of Best-All- Around and Most Original. H.R. 230 cap- tured first place for Fisher's Flying Ma- chine, H.R. 117 took second, and H.R. 109 placed third. Honorable mentions went to H.R. 221, 116, and 209. Awards forthe most original were tlrst place, H.R. 122, second place, H.R. 107, and third place, H.R. 231. Honorable mentions were given to H.R.'s 125, 222, and 213. Clubs and organizations built floats por- traying memorable events in American history. The WHS band took first place for their float entitled, Walking through His- tory. French Club placed secondg GRA took third. Art Club, Latin Club, and NFL re- ceived honorable mentions. , i , T Working on dance decorations for the l-'alcon Days dance was a messy job. Proving it are Debbie Hamilton, Therese Ertel, Donna Morgan, Kris Smith and Cindy Ohlsen. If you are a senior, you will eventually- if not already, find yourself reminiscing about past Falcon Days with mixed emo- tions. There were always warm laughs, and the glowing feel- ing ofhnally getting a date with that one boy, or being accepted by that special girl. Maybe there were even a few tears which are still lingering, ready to wink in your eyes some night as you sit alone with your yearbook on your lap. There was your tirst dance when you were only a sophomore. Remember the anxiety and anticipation with which you awaited it? It was the circus with all its bright splashes of color, gay balloons, and the animals peering from behind flapping tents and gilded cages. Bang! Suddenly your junior year arrived bringing with it tales of the wild, wild west. Old western ghost stories, and other forgotten cowboy legends were retold in collages and other decorations. At the dance you almost expected some notorious villian, like Billy the Kid, to come crashing through the swinging saloon doors in a barrage of bullets, embellished in a black vest, a mask, and glinting guns. But you'll have to admit that the memories of your senior homecoming will last long after all the others. Homeroom displays led you along a timeline of American History, be- ginning with the Pilgrim's landing on Plymouth Rock, and tak- ing you right up to present times with Astronauts exploring outer space. As we seniors part and take different paths, we leave Falcon Days to the new seniors, juniors, and sophomores. May they always cherish the memories as we do.

QE fig A walk before her subjects, 23 'rm-' A Gue I in the ouse by Dianne Lundvall Marriage partners are to serve each other. Elevate, help, teach, strengthen each other, but above all, serve. Raise their children honorably, lovingly, and with detachment. A child is a guest in the house, to be loved and respected-never possessed, since he belongs to God. From these words of the Vedanta, the second of the two orthodox philosophies of Hinduism, a concept of the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood is offered. How many of us will achieve any degree of the above criteria? Within ten years, a majority of students now attending high school will be married and will have children. It has been stated by sociologists that never before has so much conflict occurred within families as the pres- ent situation ofthe generation barrier. Many teens feel admittedly maladjusted, insecure. What kind of marriage partners and parents will they be when the time arises? Hopefully, we will have learned from mis- takes our parents made. Many times, when our parents have hurt us, we have spoken the silent prayer, Please, God, let me never do that to any child of my own. Let me remem- ber. Though the prayer may sound honest, reality seems to have a dilferent tale. We may bitterly denounce our parents, actions and swear never to do the same, but the human mind forgets far too easily. Nothing reveals this more vividly than the experience of a teen babysitting a younger child. It is horribly depressing when a teen girl ignores, ridicules and rejects a younger child and then later echoes a sigh, I love children. I can hardly wait till I'm married and have some of my own. It is difficult to under- stand both what we want to feel and what we do feel. lt sounds so very pretty to say we love children, but if we cannot stand to talk with them for a period of longer than an hour, then our professedlove is a lie. And it seems unfair to blame and criticize our parents for not un- derstanding those twenty years younger than themselves when we can't understand those five years younger than ourselves. How many of us remember? We think problems in a child's world of small conse- quence, a child's tears trivial and exaggerated. We forget. We forget the pain of not being chosen to be on the right team, the wounds resulting from thoughtless, cutting remarks. We turn around and blame our parents, screaming, You don't understand. You donlt even try! We cannot condemn that which we are al- ready beginning to reinforce. Hypocrisy and prejudice are not alien to any particular generation. We have no right to blame our parents if we are not willing and able to im- prove, to do a betterjob. If only we could think in terms of serving those we love, as in the Vedanta, we might find the way to security in the future. Our wistful prayers of wishing to be kinder to our own children is fruitless if we think of chil- dren as something to own. . . . a guest in the house, to be loved and respected-never possessed, since he belongs to God' No human being has the right to own another, but countless persons have found a weird delight in trying to possess another individual emotionally. When the individual happens to be a child, the task is accomplished so much easier. If those who will soon end their formal education will continue to grow attempt to remember, it may be possible that we can build a happier world for our children by adopting an unselhsh attitude of love and respect for something far deeper than we can ever touch. if ' .Ar ,7 .4-1 or ' eva L t......r -f M W- Stop watches in hands, volunteer swimming officials anxiously await the finish ofthe race. Club Serve West by Carol Hovey Seldom realizing the planning and care be- hind the services performed for them by other students, the members of West High con- tinually enjoy the benefits of the duties of the various service clubs. Swimming assistants are involved in many pool activities. Several girls serve as swimming officials at home swim meets, which involve timing, judging, and scoring the events. The girls also serve as hostesses to the visiting team by serving refreshments. Many students, having successfully completed a senior life saving class, serve as life guards at swimming parties and events sponsored by West clubs and organizations. Students with an interest in the teaching aspect of swimming had an opportunity to try their hand at it after completing the Water Safety Aid course instructed by Mrs. Ruth Johnson. They may volunteer to assist during the swimming unit in physical education classes. LouAnn Poole files a few ofthe many returned books. Approximately 14,000 books were checked out of the school library this year, and about 1500 new books were added. The library assistants were responsible for preparing the books for the shelves, returning them to the shelves, and keeping them in the correct order. The assistants also arranged book jackets in the showcase outside the library. They are responsible for checking out magazines and reserve books and the odd jobs essential in operating the library eihciently. The librarians find themselves relying heavily upon the assistants. Librarian William Edwards stated, Library assistants are extremely valuable in running a school libraryf, During study periods, girls in Student Service Organization CSSOJ served as hall monitors, collected attendance slips from rooms, and delivered office summonses. The members were also asked to assist with several school functions. During the week be- fore school opened, SSO girls helped the ad- ministration and faculty with orientation and registration. Then, throughout the year, they served during Career Day and Open House and checked coats and served refreshments during the dances held at West. Library assistant Linda Miller helps a student find needed re- source material. ,Mais- lift Kathy Hirth and Judi Rowlands assist parents during Open House. Directing confused parents through the maze of West corridors are Janice Kuehl and Donna Nix. 27 From Four to Five Just what is the special quality that makes a school great? As in any successful production or business venture, it is the bread and butter, behind- the-scenes activity of those who feel dedication, de- votion, and yes, love, for theirjob. Behind-the-scenesi' at WHS are the students and teachers who remain during the magic hour following that final 3:50 bell. This is the hour when ambitions and ideas turn into realities. For some, the hour following the dismissal bell is characterized by a quick dash for jackets and books, and a race to the door and freedom, But some remain. What do they stay for? What happens during these sixty minutes at West? Custodians emerge suddenly to ready corridors and classrooms for the next day's onslaught of crumpled notes, broken pencils, and sundry rem- nants of an average school day. Falcon Days means laughing girls and boys making chicken- wire and crepe paper with hopes of prize-winning floats and displays. The main hall becomes a com- mon workroom as girls dressed in shorts and sneakers crawl on their hands and knees to create gigantically colorful posters and decora- tions. A happy blast of music reminds everyone that the band is practicing. Horns blare with the West High rendition of Bill Bailey. The Beak 'n Eye will come out in fine shape tomorrow because dur- ing this special hour a human assembly line briskly inserts pages and puts the copies into order for ready distribution first thing in the morning. A sci- ence teacher and her students gather materials that will be needed for the following day,s lab assign- ments. They make solutions and bacteria cultures. The hour from four to five is a time to get to know the teacher better, a time for people too shy to ask questions in class to find answers. Here is the op- portunity for a boy or girl to discuss personal prob- lems with the teacher. In the gym, it is the hour of athletics. Coach Wessel briefs the basketball team and emphasizes points on the blackboard. His voice echoes in the stillness of the gym. The swim team knows that hour after school well, for it is a time for swimming lap after lap until it feels impossible to go any further, but they do! It is almost five o'clock now. A very few remain, but those who stayed leave for home with a very real sense of belonging to West, or more likely, of West High belonging to them. 28 Two girls help Miss Knopick prepare biological specimens. Many rush to the automobile at the day's end, but many rem by Sharon Asplund Swimmers und other athletes practice for hours Lifter school classes Teamwork is the key tqthe successful distribution ofthe Beak'r1 Eye. it .EEST ws...

For speech students there is the Na- tional Forensic League QNFLj and for the journalism student, the Quill and Scroll. To earn the privilege of membership in the NFL, a student must be ranked in the upper two-thirds of his class scholastically. He must earn 25 credit points in his forensic endeavors and must display leadership and good character. As a final requirement, the candidate must be elected by three-fourths of the members and be approved by the chapter instructor. Dianne Lundvull interviews Sidney Harris.

Both groups sponsor projects, and each in- dividual member within the group strives to improve himself in his held of endeavor and keep up the high standards of the honorary society. Exceptionally hard work, high ability, and dedication exemplify members of these organizations. Leon Spies serves as master ol' ceremonies at one of numerous auds throughout the year. 3l si ? 5 ,M qv O zmothy by Steve Toth Walking alone Between the sunset and the sky, A prophet Floating through a multitude ofdays, Waking inside a day-long dream On a crest ofcushioned green. Within my foggy sphere A sickly tree, small and outcast, Struggles to shade The head under the stone pillow And the body in its gritty bed Against the tide of fog That flows between us. And a lone stone angel Stands guard by his head. Hidden from The spies in the city, The tree, the stone and I Admire the sleeping child Wrapped in a green blanket, Left nameless by a careless mother. Between us we conferred And named the infant Timothy. Rest in peace The epitaph said. Rest from what? He never did wrongg He never had a chance. Drunken tears at his birth For a new-born babe Sent to die for the world. Somewhere-ifthere he is- God's weary eyes may have pity And bring this nameless martyr To be with angels And there live his life Free from corruption. But ifthrough the fog He cannot see I have this thorny tree And silent stone To comfort me. ,EQQ if .K 1 5 f55'if' if -Wifi 3-Yo ew M W, , Quai, y I ga- f ,Q fi. Sli t.ZQi7i ' K L Q ', ,gf 49. .

A per- son can sound like Einstein or stick his foot in his mouth merely by his use of the English language. Juicy gossip among girls, low-pitched jokes between boys, an informal chat between a student and teacher, and an instructor's authoritative voice explaining the day's lesson keep a school humming with noise. Conversation may result in an ex- change of ideas or it can simply be idle chatter. A student-teacher talk need not concern grades or class work, it can be an informal conversation between friends. During class, the teacher and stu- dents sometimes leave the rou- tine of schoolwork and become in- volved in bull sessions where topics range from teen-age drinking to student government. But when an instructor is lecturing to his class, he is trying to convey the ideas he has learned. For the most part, a teacher sets the pace of a class by his attitude toward the subject, the challenge he presents, and the manner in which he involves his students. 33 CP AE DR ES M0 S By Debbie Haack Millicent Aagesen Coe College, B.A. Univens'it,1'Qf'Iowa.

Www Greg Hoover, Larry Shaw, and Steve Lee, tri-captains ol' the '67 gridders, discuss the rugged sport with Coach Fisher. In the Fallfthe Clash 0fHeImels and the Cutting 0fCIeals At the first pep aud of the year, Gene Fisher, WHS's new head football coach, gave his l00 per cent effort speech as he introduced the players for the I967 foot- ball season. The spirit of the students at this pep aud was overwhelming, and it seemed that even if West High did not win any games this year, it would not be because of a lack of spirit. Any anxieties Coach Fisher might have had about leaving Central's Co-Mississippi Valley Champs vanished at this first pep aud. Fisher's Falcons went into their opener at Clinton against the River Kings enthused with the spirit dis- played at the pep aud. Although the statistics were dominated by the Falcons, statistics and spirit were not enough, they suffered their first defeat, 7--6. The Falcons then came home to face the Rock Island Rocks. The Red and White drew first blood as Doug Williams went over from the five-yard line. In the fourth quarter with West leading, 7 -6, Rocky's quarterback spoiled West's hopes for a victory by scampering 46 yards to defeat West, 13- 7. The varsity gridders then traveled to Iowa City, where they were defeated, I9-6. Terry Williams went over for West's only score in the second quarter. Oct. 6 proved to be a turning point in the season as Fisher's Falcons met the Moline Maroons. Slated to be the MVC champs, the Maroon's explosive offense was held to only 7 points in the first half by West's here- to-fore weak defense. Although the Maroons scored 12 points in the second half and defeated the Falcons 19-0, Fisher's Falcons were not expected to do that well. As WHS's first outdoor pep aud, which was held in- doors, combined with the renewed spirit gained from the Moline contest, the Falcons went into the game against cross-town rival Central looking for a victory. Statis- tics had shown up to this point in the season that Fisher's Falcons were a first half team. In the game with the Blue Devils, this assumption was strengthened as the Falcons took a 7-0 lead into the locker room. In the second half, Central scored I9 points as the West by Perry Kalen defense fell apart, giving Central the victory, l9e7. Another turning point came on Oct. 20, when the Falcons snapped a five game losing streak. This, for the varsity gridders, was a game of many firsts. Fisher's Falcons put the first of two marks in the win column and for the first time in the season scored a point in the second half. The score at half time was I3 -7, with West on top. Late in the fourth quarter the fans at Brady Field saw Fisher's Falcons rally to block an Assumption extra point to save -a 20 I9 victory. The Falcons rallied in the second half in their game with East Moline, to give Queen Vicki a Homecoming victory on a muddy platter. The Falcons were down at halftime, l2f7. They fought back through the mud, and with 56 seconds remaining in the contest, they tied the score at I9--I9. Then Tim Gilgrass put the ball through the uprights to give West a 20- I9 victory. Kennedy of Cedar Rapids snapped the Falcon winning streak of two games as the Falcons went back into the rut of being a first half team. West led at halftime, 7 -6, on a 50-yard pass-interception by Ken Kuhlen- beck. But late in the fourth quarter, with Kennedy leading, l2-7, the Falcons started a desperation drive, which failed on the Cougar 20-yard line, and the game ended, l2f7. The season for the varsity gridders did not end on a happy note, as they invaded Cedar Rapids Jefferson, only to be held scoreless in the second half and beaten, 46 -7. Fisher's Falcons ended the season with a 2-7 record. Even though the Falcons did not finish the season with an impressive record, they did have pride in their school and in themselves. When the chips were down, they picked themselves up and for two Fleeting games, be- came a second half team, the key to their whole sea- son, to keep themselves out of the cellar in the MVC and to bring to their school a homecoming victory. As Coach Fisher said at the beginning of the season, At no time did I feel that I got less than l00 per cent effort.

The best dual meet record in the history of West High track was achieved by the fall track team and Head Coach Don Lange. The varsity cindermen capped their most ad- mirable season by placing third in both cross country and mile team events, while placing third in the conference cross country, second in the conference mile team race, and third in the Quad- City mile team race. Outstanding cindermen led the Falcons to their victories. Mark Steffen finished second in the state mile, setting a new West High record of 4:26.8. He also broke the school's three-quarter mile rec- ord with a time of 3:l9.2. Lyle Hallowell, an- other Falcon standout, set a new school record in the two mile, with 10: 19.6. The sophomore squad, led by Carl Ramm, Steve Klehn, and Reggie Hathaway, won both the con- ference and the Quad-City mile team races. They placed fifth in the conference and third in the Quad-City half-mile races. Don Lange's cindermen are the spirit of West High with their winning attitude and winning ways. Record miler Mark Steffen works out on the track for com ing meets. Saturday Night by Steve Toth I carelessly wandered Into the twang ofguitarsg Electric voices screaming While the girls Leap and float down slyly, Suggesting rainbows With each involuntary movement. And the boys, Full of green cigarettes andjokes, With pocketed hands And curled lips, Stare with blood in their eyes, Searching the rolling, dancing bodies For tell-tale signs Of affection. And later The fading night Finds each with A dark companion without a face, Wandering over her presence. And although they all be lost forever, Love may be found next week. 55 by Marsha Bishop Varsity football player Mike Misfeldt hands his muddy practice uniform to his mother, Mrs. Mel Misfeldt, for laundering. Hey, Mom! Would you wash my football uniform tonight? I need it for practice to- morrow. Thanks a lotli' Whether laundering muddy football outfits, selling candy and popcorn, or attending classes at Open House, parents help make a variety of student activities possible. Organizations of parents have been formed, such as Band and Orchestra Parents' Club, Speech Parents, Vocal Music Parents, and Athletic Boosters' Club. They perform such duties as chap- eroning students' trips to speech contests and music festivals, helping to raise money for uniforms and club projects, and sponsoring sports banquets. In November, fathers accompany their daughters to GRA's UChili With Pop for dinner and an evening ofgames and relays. Parents also show their interest in the ac- tivities of their teenagers by following a condensed version of the daily schedule for one evening of Open House at West. This provides an opportunity for parents to meet the teachers and to discover what is expected ofthe students in their particular subjects. Parental support of his son's or daughteris activities may often mean the difference be- tween an apathetic student and one who en- joys his high school years. German instructor Philip Noss in- forms parents ol' his leaching techniques during Open House on Novcmber8. During one ol' the bizarre relays concocted ui GRA's Chili With Pop, Edgar lhlefeld re- ceives a shave from his daughter, JoAnn, while Howard Kakcrt looks on. Dang. dong, ding, plinkl h'Here are the afternoon an- nouncements. Remember to have two No. 2 pencils tomor- row for the Iowa Tests of Educational Development. . The rest of the news droned on, but I was too concerned with my own gruesome plight to listen to them. Not the ITED tests! Not after all the other let's-see-how-much- you-have-absorbed-so-far tests had destroyed my thoughts ofself-confidence! On one test I had written the formula for triheroborac- Hurobenzachloride as HrBrFrBzCL-2, which is the for- mula for diheroboractlurobenzachloride, instead of I-IrBr- FrBzCL-3, which is the correct formula. This set up a chain of miscalculations, wild guesses, and general pande- monium for the entire experiment, analyze, and learn testing process. I am glad that Chaucer is already dead, because he would surely die if he learned that I also managed to confuse the traits of the Wife of Bath with the Nun of the Canterbury Pilgrims in the identify and match test. Any- one knows the Wife of Bath, with her live marriages, had slightly different interests than any nun. Then I also wrote a speed-writing, finger-mangling essay test on -the law on diminishing utility, which means you get sick of drinking Pepsi after IOO bottles in a row. Un- fortunately, the question asked for the meaning of di- minishing returns. But the teacher did give me 27.78fk credit for spelling diminishing correctly. Before the day was over, I made one more ideal-shocking mistake.

That's the cry heard around the worlde no matter the event, no matter the kind of people involved. Sooner or later in life, each person discovers himself joining the crowdl, for a common cause. That cause may be a Democratic political convention in Chicago. It may be a Viet Nam protest in Iowa City. Or, it simply may be the Red and White crowd cheering their lungs out for a WHS victory at Brady Street Sta- dium. But no matter the crowd or the cause, one does Hnd it essential to exert his labors and hours in group action. At WHS, it may be merely the routine act of passing from class to class. It may be an aud featuring a lecturer. It may be a language club meeting. Or it can simply be joining close friendsa in the halls before school, at an after-the-game dance, or at a weekend party. The important point is that each person can help others by jumping into some sort of group action where one can offer his talents forjust a bit of forward progress.

Jim Evans und Steve Kleinschmidt get involved in shop talk with Adviser Rod Vuhl. T he Mishappening by Debbie Burns 'flVIe'? Like Icabod? No, we're just good friends. That's why he asked me to the dance, cuz we're good friends. You know how it is, don'cha'? I said. Oh, yeah, sure, well I was just wondering, ah . . . I kinda thought maybe, thought maybe, ah . . . you liked him, replied George. Why do you ask? He wanted to know. Well, that's where all the fun began. It all seemed so innocent at first. Icabod, called just plain Ic by his friends, had asked me ta month and half in ad- vancel to go to the Prom with him. I, being the doll that I am, figured that I probably wouldn't get asked by anybody else, and gave him the greatest break in hislife by saying yes. Ic and I had known each other for more than a tenth of a century. He was a nice enough guy, but, for crying out loud, how romantic can one get with a boy who is like your big brother? Also, he had one basic flaw: he was too normal! He ate slept, belched, and bathed everyday of his terribly routine and normal life. His dad also had millions of ordinary dollars which Ic never helped to spend. The most frivolous expendi- ture he ever made was a double-decker eraser for his No. 2 pencil. So this prodigal son, who was alloted S25 a week, and who could afford to take you on a round trip to Venus, would take you down to watch the A8LP truck unload. Yes, lc had his shortcomings. But being the great philosopher that I am, I actually thought that we could have a fine time together. After all, we were good buddies, and, goodness knows, buddies always enjoy each other's company. F However, that following week, strange things began to happen. In the morning, I'd no sooner get to my locker when BANGO, up sprang Ic out of nowhere. He'd act very casual as if to say, f'Oh, is this where your locker is? Fancy that . . .just happened to be ten miles out of my way . . . how odd that I should meet you . . . Then he'd insist upon walking wherever I went. Even if I'd duck into a rest roomehe'd wait like a faithful old dog right outside the door. As we'd Stamp around the school, I could just read the expressions on my friends' faces. DEB LIKES ICABOD . . . DEB LIKES ICABOD . . . THAT'S FUNNY THAT'S VERY FUNNY. What made matters worse was that lc looked like a kid at Christmas, all smiles and mirth. I thought to myself, Either he's being mean, or he feels obligated to me because ofthe dance. I decided that he must feel indebted to me, so I tried to make things easier for him. I arrived at school at different times every day: 6:30, 7:51, 8:06, 8:24, and so on. But no matter how varied my time schedule was, Ic materialized, ready to cheer my day with a direct quote from the Jack andjill magazine. This wasn't the only strange event that occurred though. The day after he had asked me, I was stand- ing in the lunch line with a bunch of my friends. I was minding my own business, when I heard a faint voice say, Mind ifl cut? said Icabod. L'Ah . . . ofcourse . . . no . . .go ahead. I thought he was probably in a hurry or some- thing, but, no, it was nothing of the kind. As we journeyed through the line a weird phenomena oc- curred. I took a hamburger: he took a hamburger, I grabbed a buttered spinach, he grabbed a buttered spinach, I took a lime jello salad, he took a lime jello salad, and so it was all the way through. Then he looked at me with an astonished look on his Howdy Doody face and remarked, Hey, look. We took exactly the same thingsll' Remarkable, thought I. That was just the beginning ofthe remarkable things that would happen though. Instead of eating with his friends, he followed me to a table and plopped his tray down right next to mine. All the girls at the table suddenly lost their appetites. Everyone knows that a girl can't eat in front of a boy in a school cafeteria. It's physically impossible. You imagine him listening to the cracks . . . smulush . . . schrunch . . . and gulmphs. The masticating and salivary processes are much too gruesome to be witnessed by anybody except close friends or relatives. To sum it up, everybody was giving me dirty glances and making me feel like I had dragged Ic over to our table for kicks. During the entire meal I perspired through pores I didn't even know I had. I swear that if my fork hadn't been so beat up and dull looking, I would have gutted him with it. This constant ambushing was not only driving me out of my mind, but gumming up my digestive system as well. I couldn't hgure out, being the sensitive girl that I am, that ol' Ic was in love with me. I believed that he was going through a painful time in his ado- lescence, and would no doubt snap out of it before the dance. So, I went on being escorted around until the day I fell in love with Gordy lVIcPimple. Gordy was chubby, egotistical, conceited, and a first rate antagonist, it was definitely a case of love at Hrst sight. It was ironic that Ic had introduced me to him at a party. He probably took the chance because he never figured that I would go for a gleep like Gord. How wrong he was, and I think he realized his mistake right away. Perhaps my face looked like love in bloom. Well, at any rate, some- thing gave me away, and very suddenly Ic was not well. He had a violent headache, severe stomach cramps, and all the other symptoms of malaria. He gave me a pitiful glance that clearly said, Let's go right now ...before it's too latel! f'Nope, nope, can't do, thought I, I'm having a good time. Go home and have your mother take a look at you. I wouldn't have left that stinking, crowded, little party for all the rice in China, so needless to say, Ie left and I stayed. That following Monday, Ic was not at my locker, so I thought he probably had not survived. But that was not exactly the case. George, Ic's best friend, showed up in his place. First he inquired about my health, and then he came right to the point. Do you like Icabod'? I told him the truth, which proved to be the mis- take ofthe century. A wise lesson I learned from that was: Never, ever tell the truth if you can lie your way out of it. When Ic got the solemn message from George, he must have reasoned fby applying pure logicj that I had a flaming crush on Gordy. From that time on, his strategy changed. It was then three days before Prom and I had pur- chased a beautiful formal, matching shoes, a darling little beaded purse, dangly earrings, and all the other necessities needed for the occasion. On the day that lc found out about his rejection, he asked me what color my dress was and where I would like to eat after the dance. I told him that my dress was bright yellow and that anywhere that he would like to go would be hne with me. As I answered, he kept nodding his head and smirking at me. Then he started to cackle and laugh hysterically like a madman. He's weird, really weird, thought I. Why, out of all the sane young men in the world, did I happen to get a psychopath to take me to Prom? By the time the gala event arrived, I was a nervous wreck. I pictured Ic showing up in a Liberace tails outfit, complete with diamond-studded wing tip shoes and wig-wam socks. I also had a repeating nightmare every night before the dance. I dreamt that I was walking down a long, winding stairway. At the bottom, Ic was staring up at me. Then came the big trip, and the violent tumbling that followed tore my dress all over. At this point, Ic would break out in that horrible laughter. Well, anyway, when the doorbell rang at 8:15 Friday night, I felt like a condemned person marching to my execution. I had vomited twice fmy favorite trick when I get over-wrought about somethingj and had thrown a tantrum that had left my parents aghast. I kept muttering in a low tearful voice, I can't go through with it. He's gonna murder me. He'll push me off a curb into oncoming traffic. No, no I know what he'll do, he'll poison my Pepsi. Yeah, that's how he'll do it. Oh, Ijust can't, I can't! What made me go through with it, I'll never know. I walked around like a robot taking orders like Eat, Bathe, Dress, from some unknown master: while all the time my computers were screaming, This does not compute!! The doorbell threw me into a complete panic. I heard the door open, but nobody gasped or threw up so I felt quite certain that he did not have on the silver sequin suit I had anticipated. Believing this gave me enough courage to stagger from my bedroom to the bathroom ta space ofless than three feet.J When I heard my mother remark about how beautiful the flowers were, I felt the anxiety in my heart vanish, and I proceeded down the stairs to meet him. The flowers, which I had expected to be a couple of wilted dandelions held together with copper wiring, were instead five lovely yellow and white roses. I was speechless. Ic was a picture of true gentility in front of my parents. He shook hands, smiled for pictures, told me how nice I looked, and did all of the things expected of a real esquire. Well, well, thought I, Me thinks me worried all for naught. As the door was closing behind us, Ic falias lVIr. Hydej started that awful laugh, creating an Alfred Hitchcock type atmosphere. When I got to my side of the car, he looked at me as if to say, Get in yourself, and I hope you run your nylons in the process. I got in all by myself, and instead of running my hose, I slammed my dress in the door. He laughed. I fumed. He continued laughing all the way to the school: I felt large, salty tears welling up in my eyes. That meant, of course, mass mascara mess. I tried to con- trol myself and succeeded. I would have rather died than let him know that his torture was killing me. When we finally arrived at the dance, he got out of the car and started walking towards the building. To heck with him, thought I, I'll sit here forever. I'm not going to follow him like a puppy. About a half hour later, he returned to the car, opened my door and said, Did I leave the keys in there? I screamed something at him that could have tar- nished his fillings. I also told him that under no cir- cumstances would I take that sort of treatment from anybody, no matter how long we had been friends. And if he didn't intend to take me to the dance, to kindly take me to a phone so I could call my parents. He grabbed my hand hrmly, gave me a very kind look, and led me into the dance without further dis- cussion. He was sorry for the way he acted, but I was out for revenge. I turned into a monster without pity. I spilled things on him, criticized his appearance, made fun ofhis dancing ability, and, in short, created a scene. During the course of the night, he kept trying to grab onto my hand to keep me from Hitting off in all direc- tions and leaving him stranded. At one of his attempts, I said in a piercing tone of voice, Would you get your hands ofTme!! Everybody started to howl. Ic left and didn't come back. I called a taxi, and went home. When I got there, however, I didn't go in. I waited five hours out in the garage until 3:30 a.m., then went in all smiles and laughs, related to my parents a bunch of phony details, went to bed, and cried until I went to sleep. It all seemed so innocent and simple. Ic hasn't spoken a complete sentence to me since, and I can't really blame him for that. I'm so embarrassed and ashamed that I can't even look at him. It was definitely the biggest mishappening ofmy whole life. 2 S if 'Hur it gf T'i' w ff. R E CY U Ll E X P Q gliiivifgiwffnj ,g ift 59 Q? M? , E . wi r fn A -- 'e' :' .

The art department conveyed its wishes through a lighted collage which could have been titled, The Auto Accident and a poster urging trafiic safety during the holidays. To make the season even more enjoyable, the student council acted out a satire on Charles Dickenls A Christmas Carol with music by the orchestra and a Cappella for the Christmas aud. Along the same vein as Christmas is Holy Week which is held in conjunction with Easter. During the week preceeding Easter, ministers from different faiths were invited by the Tri-Y to speak at informal services held before school. By the large response to Christmas projects and Holy Week services it is easy to see that teens of today are not followers of the belief that God is dead. For the first time a Christmas tree added spirit to the Cafe- teria. 69 Frosty the Snowman adorned the door ofhomeroom 203. Debalers Aid Police in Crime In vesligczlion by Cindy Hill Chief of Crime Investigation, Leon Spies, blew a smoke ring as he contemplated a sheet of paper placed strategically in front of him on the desk. Looks like a job for the West High De- batersf' he mumbled and reached for the phone .... . . . Meanwhile, back at the glass shack in Room 201, a meeting was about to commence.

Can I be of assistance to you? answered John. Ruth, this is Spies, came the stern reply. Duty once more has called.

Hey, fellas, that was the brass. Get your- selves in readiness, for duty has again calledf' said John. Suddenly a cloud of smoke arose in the room, and when the air had cleared and the fire had been extinguished, there stood four be-speckled, vested, suited men with their debate boxes clutched in their left hand. Together, they extended their right hands to form the debater's wheel and re- peated these words: We do solemnly swear by the grace of H. C. Keller to crack this 'Resolved' wide open. Should we fail, then it's all for education. By the word of professional attitude. Amen. . . . So was born the 67-68 debate squad. Together the four of them set out to make the world safe for Mom, apple pie, and the girl you left behind. END John Ruth supports his various conclusions with one of many research cards. Opposing him are Phil Kramer and Leon Spies. Chief Leon Spies talks over possible solutions for Crime Investigation' with debaters John Ruth and Phil Kramer. Emotion evident on her face, Carol Nagel presents a dramatic interpretation. Harry Schmidt, senior orator, demonstrates the gestures ofan effective Covering well over 1000 miles and most of the state, public speakers journeyed to contests with their weapon of voice to bring home victories to West. Mellowed by months of practice, orators trooped to speech meets with the merits of their work, to return victors, while interpreters using humor and drama as their defense, pitched losses to enemy forces. Their march to victory began early in November and never was retreat called until every foe had been soundly defeated. Harry Schmidt, a pilgrim in the public speakers march, armed only with his Bible, descended from the Iowa High School Forensic Colloquy with top honors in Bible Reading as his captive. As the battle raged on, WHS speakers sent a new secret weapon, in the form of spy Chris Allsbrow, to the mid-year Mississippi Valley Conference Contest. Chris returned with the classified information in the form of first place interpretation honors. Negotiating a complete victory from its foe, West debaters labored long hours over their strategy before meeting with high school speakers across the state late in the year. When the conference doors swung open, it again revealed West High ranked high as speaking leader in the state. Temporary truces brought much deserved free time to the fighting forensic army. This allowed troops to sponsor bake sales and rummage sales to raise the necessary funds for the equipment. And when the work was done, the C rations were brought out for public speaking meetings, holiday parties, and fun- togethers.

It is obvious to them that an apathetic attitude towards government will not remedy anything or secure a sound government for the future. Consequently, many teens are proving their interest by joining clubs such as the WHS Teen- Age Republicans CTARSJ and the newly-formed Political Theory Club. Headed by Joe Vogt, president, Roy Stout, vice presidentg Cindy Reynolds, secretaryg Steve Toth, treasurerg and their faculty advisor, David Swim, TARS was able to accomplish many things during the year. In October, many members attended the Reagan Dinner in Des Moines where Ronald Reagan, gov- ernor of California, spoke to the young Republicans. When election time came, TARS members were on hand to help the local Republican Party by distribut- ing election information to several wards. The Political Theory Club was just started this year. Its purpose was to probe into the concepts of the American government and to learn about the ground works of our democracy. The members read books on politics and held meetings to discuss this material and current political events. There is also a need for a form of student govern- ment at school. West High's Student Council fulfilled this need well during 1967-68. Under the leadership of Steve Lee, president: Carl Gerks, vice president, Tony Rossow, secretary: and Harry Schmidt, treasurer, the council sponsored many school activities. An inno- vation at West, a computer dance, was held during the semester break. Other all-school events included after- game dances, the Christmas Aud, and an exchange aud with Rock Island. Foreign Student Week, held February 19-23 raised money for West to support another foreign student under the American Field Service QAFSJ program next year. This year's AFS student was Eva Helm- brandt from Avesta, Sweden. Members of the council visited Central for one day to help promote good inter-school relations. A joint Student Council meeting was held at the end of the day. A new constitution, which will go into effect next year, was drafted. The revised document clarified and improved upon many of the practices of the council. The council also supported Mayor Jebens' Youth Council. Ten delegates and four alternates from each high school in Davenport were chosen to advise the mayor on such topics as teen curfew, recreation and delinquency. The senior class ofhcers Leon Spies, presidentg Greg Hoover, vice president, Lorie Day, secretaryg Vicki Smith, treasurer, and the junior class officers Jim Evans, president, JelT Schirk, vice presidentg Sally Danacher, secretary: and Sue Keim, treasurer helped in the student government throughout the year and were in charge ofclass projects and parties. l Junior Class Political Boss Jim Evans is shown at the Junior Class Party executing some of the more sophisticated moves that elected him President.

By Kris Hoff To be a high school senior is a goal in itself. Finally you have attained the prestige and superiority that you have respected since you were a sophomore. In achieving your goal as a senior you have also been working for even higher goals such as a college edu- cation, vocational training, or marriage. As your high school career ends, you con- tinue to strive for these higher goals. You feel your experiences in high school have helped you to climb the ladder in reaching your goals. Academically your high school education has given you the knowledge you need to be an intelligent adult. A variety of subjects has helped you to choose a field of interest and you have been guided toward this field. You have received a well rounded educa- ADKINS, TAMARA: Golf, Intramuralsg French Club, GRA, NFL, Pep Club, Thespiansg a Cappella, All-School Play Cast, Academic Excellence ADRIAN, CLARK: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Intramurals, Spanish Club, Student Council AGUILAR, HENRY: Intramurals, Wrestling .Il-fl tion scholastically, but you probably feel you have learned more about people than you have facts. Even in the classroom you have observed a variety of personalities and you have learned the individual characteristics of people. You have tried to make yourself a better person by observing the actions of others. Outside of school you have communicated socially with your classmates. You learn more about them in an informal atmosphere where the classroom stuffiness is gone and their true self is exposed. Communicating with others in extra-curricular activities makes you a better balanced person. Academically, psychologically, and so- cially, high school has been your greatest help in reaching adulthood.

As a senior heading for work, college, or mar- riage, you have a firm foundation for your goals by a variety of courses for your choice of occupation. The important thing is that there has been something of interest oliered to everyone and through experimentation in high school, you can find the area in which you have talent. You may further your interest in your field by participation in activities connected with the subject. If you find your talent in music you may join the band, or- chestra or a Cappella and within these or- ganizations be offered a variety of opportuni- ties.

An insight into the midst of your classmates teaches you the essentials of the intangible subject of human nature. High school shapes your own personality into its mature form. By studying the actions of others, you may discard the bad and maintain the good. In your own peer group you may respect certain qualities of a friend and try to attain the same good quali- ties. You may also notice a bad character- istic. Often, finding the same bad character- istic in yourself, you will work to overcome the handicap. This system of weeding out bad habits and developing good ones matures you as you strive to find a place for your- self in the world. Talking to successful people, KISER, STANLEY: Intramurals, Swimming, Spam Clubg TARS KITZMAN, GORDON extensive reading, and most important, serious thinking will help you to know your- self and others better. This development of your personality is imperative for suc- cess because you express yourself through your personality. The impression you make on others, the way you talk, your appear- ance, and your outlook are all your per- sonality shining through. Since the high school years are the maturing years, your personality in its final form is produced and stays with you long after graduation. Your individual character is established through observation of the personalities of others and of your own nature. The recognition of your good and bad points and the developing ofeach leads you to the goal of success.

As a sen- ior, you have probably developed close friend- ships through common interests. These friend- ships are at a peak in the senior year when you have finally overcome barriers together in reaching the top. Through group activities, talking seriously with friends, and laughing together over past experiences, you get an insight into the feelings of others and under- stand them better. Your friends play an important part in molding you. If you are un- certain about a subject, your friends may have feelings on it that you Hnd you agree with.

Could you make two copies of this right away, Miss Jacobs? 'fCertainly. How do you like yourjob so far? I think it's great. I'm acquiring a skill and attending school and getting paid for my work, and gaining busi- ness experience all at the same time. Well, we are glad to get such a competent employee. We knew that by hiring a student through West that we were sure to get an employee that was skilled. Every school day a troop of students depart from West High School at noon to enter the business world. These are members of Co-op. They may be book- keepers, stenographers, and general office workers. During their senior year, if students in office education have completed the required courses, they may be chosen to enter the Co-op program. Co-op members are placed with a Davenport firm, where they receive the usual learner's wages for their half day of work. In this way, the office education department of West High School is able to prepare students for responsible business positions after graduation. Here are your copies. Done already? Fine. Say, what's in that box on your desk? Oh, ofhce education is selling chocolate candy to raise money for our 'Boss's Night Out' this spring. Would you like to buy some? Ofcourse. l'll take two bars. In addition to their business training, Co-op members also participate in service projects, money-raising pro- jects, and attend conferences. This year the State Youth Leadership Conference was held February 23 and 24 in Des Moines. For two days the students at- tended buzz sessions to discuss club activities, attended lectures by professional business people, and took field trips through large ollice buildings. Contests in typing, calculating, shorthand, and bookkeeping were entered by the students on a voluntary basis. For the first time, the national conference was held this yearin Des Moines also. The main emphasis this year was on money-raising projects. A chocolate sale in the fall netted about S260 toward the students' annual evening out with their em- ployers. A joint meeting with Central's Co-op was held in the spring to plan the event. Another Co-op activity was a promotional week in January for interested juniors. A slide presentation was given by the seniors to inform them of the program. Later, in May, a meeting was held for those chosen to be next year's Co-op members. Members of DECA scan materials which offer aids in marketing. Office machines occupy much ofthe student's time in vocational programs Good salesmanship and success are key words for DECA participants. VICA club president Phil Heisterman reads club minutes to fellow members.

'li 'Nui' In the blustery cold of a football game, WHS girls trudge up and down the stands, selling candy to raise money for a school organization. That spring the money is awarded to one of them in the form of a S50 schol- arship. Paramedical Club has helped a student toward realizing a health career. Paramedical Club is open to both boys and girls who are considering a career in any phase of medicine to help them investigate their career choices. Each month a pro- gram is held or a speaker is invited to inform the mem- bers ofa particular medical occupation. This year for example, a speech and hearing therapist, a representa- tive from Cook County Hospital in Chicago, and an X-ray technician were among the speakers. In December a movie on medical technology was shown. To some WHS seniors, DECA means more than the name ofa record company. Distributive Education, a program which places a student with a co-op position in merchandising, provides on-the-job training while the student hnishes high school. Aside from their work, DECA members traveled from West for several events this year. In December they heard Bob Rassmussen, national president of DECA, speak in Bettendorf. They held a Christmas party for the children at the St. Vincent's Home, and DECA was also represented at the Youth Leadership Conference in Des Moines, held in March. Teachers are harassed, underpaid, ignored, con- plained about, and overworked. Yet, strangely enough, every year a few students decide to make a career of teaching. Why do students make this choice? One of the factors in making this decision is the encouragement offered by teachers themselves through an organization for the teachers of tomorrow, Future Teachers of America. FTA, a national organization, is open to juniors and seniors interested in teaching, to help them explore facets of education on all levels. It is also a source of college planning for teacher preparation. The Future Teachers of West High School have been especially active this year. They entered a float in the Falcon Days' parade, and entertained the foreign stu- dents at a Christmas party, where they discussed their schools. Educators, such as Mrs. Pickeral, head of the Davenport Head Start program spoke at their meeting to inform them of new developments in teaching. They observed classrooms on the elementary and junior high levels. The year ended with welcoming of sophomores into the organization. Mrs. Dorothy Ley, WHS school nurse, leads a discussion in Paramedical Club. Future teachers listen attentively as three student teachers relate teaching tactics they learned during their quarter at West. Some have found that it's possible to get ahead of the game. They have the advantage of being able to go on the job directly with saleable skills in electronics, tool and die, printing, occupational therapy, automotive, and other vocations. They might go to Central High School for vocational training in the afternoon. They might be members of the Co-op program and even get paid for their work. They belong to VICA. Vocational Industrial Clubs of America is for those who are prepared. They have had the foresight to acquire a skill and have used the opportunities available to them in high school. They do not build floats, or have hayrack rides or Christmas parties. Their function is not a social one. Instead, they promote leadership within a particular vocation. They attend conventions and go on field trips. VICA gives status to students in vocational training. They have already made their choice. The FTA Falcon Days float, Hang the Panthers, portrays Freddie as the executioner at the death ofthe East Moline team. SOCRATES AND PLATO or HC TO DIE TRYI The Day of Reckoning Classic Excuse by Marsha Bishop Never will the student-teacher relation- ship be closer than during high school, which exists as a kind of purgatory suspended between the grubby-faced kidls blind devo- tion to his grade school teacher and the ID number syndrome of the faceless college masses. From the opening day of school, when students and teachers confront each other for the first time, their impressions can mark the beginning of a lasting friend- ship, a tasteless experience, or an everlasting mutual hatred. Student-teacher relationships fall roughly into four categories-apathy, antagonism, amity, and apple-polishing. Personality traits and petty mannerisms can build or destroy the bond between student and teac- her. Neutral, or apathetic relationships result when neither the teacher or the students have anything in common except for their mutual boredom produced by the dull, remedial subject that is of no interest to either party. Acquaintances such as these usually fade from the person's memory the day after school is out. Antagonism is the result of personality clashes between students and teachers, which may stem from annoying habits such as mispronunciation of words and ultra- speed blinking, or from major disagree- ments concerning unfairness or personal interference. Although the blame for the discord is often equally shared, teachers are placed at a certain disadvantage be- cause they do most of the talking during class and, therefore, have more opportunity to expose their deficiencies. This type of relationship helps to stimulate an other- wise dull class period. n The amicable relationship is usually a result of sincere interest and mutual respect between student and teacher. Communica- tion between the two becomes possible, benefitting both with the insight that teach- ers are not all sadists and that teenagers are not necessarily drug addicts. The brownie-point system, or ego-feeding for good grades, is usually disguised as a friendly relationship. One glaring example of this is the extra-credit project consisting of decorating bulletin boards, correcting papers the teacher is too lazy to bother with, or playing volleyball games to win homeroom points. Until the day arrives when students and teachers communicate only through educa- tional television, they will be subjected to the trials and tribulations of personal re- lationships. ,ist :QR 55. , A Ugg' ' I'0'l fQ QQ .

Other mediums represented in the gallery included chalk, crayon, and ink drawings, and sculptures. The interesting feature about the Art Gallery is that all of the exhibits are produced entirely by the art students. Outstanding art- work is priced by the artist and displayed with similar creations to constitute a show. The Art Club organized the gallery early in the year to help meet expenditures for parties and other activities. For example, the Christmas exhibit at the gallery helped to hnance the Art Club's hippie Christmas party which was com- plete with a happening and a human Christmas tree. Art Club oficers, Kristy Lindsay, president, Danny Ricketts, vice-president, Nancy Pontzius, secretary- treasurer, and Shelly Campbell, program chairman, moved that a new office be created to take charge of the gallery. Debbie Aronson was chosen director of the gallery. But the art room and gallery were not the only places that artwork could be seen. Each week posters in the halls urged sports teams to Go, Fight, Win or advertised an after game dance. To help promote school spirit, homeroom points were given for spirit- rousing posters. No matter if you were selling year- books or Falcon Days dance tickets, to insure a good sales, posters were made and hung on the walls of the halls for students to see.

'T Y Almost every lunch period is characterized by booths of kids hoping to sell tickets to a party or dance. , sal. Q!! , . . For the seventh course, I'll take a few of these, and after that, dessert! Fathers have the mistaken idea that teenagers constantly have their hands out for more dough. But for every teen who stands sheepishly before the head of the household asking for funds, there are three hot little hands out at school and in town waiting for the kid's money the second he gets it! Take that date. It wouldn't be possible if the guy hadn't come up with money for gas, food, and tickets to a show or a game. He's lucky if he has anything left to spend after pay- ing for the equivalent of two lunches, three desserts, and a gallon of milk everyday at school, not to mention paying a line on the book he had overdue for three months and then having to buy a paperback copy of Macbeth and a notebook and a pen. The money that goes from Dad's pocket into Levi pockets and purses doesn't remain there long. Where does it go? GRA laps it up for parties and Gala and membership dues as do the other clubs at school. Sometimes even we're surprised that after buyingxthe brand new Rolling Stones album and enough paper to copy Gone with the Wind in longhand several times over, that somehow we're down to our last hamburger and Coke money. Does this mean back to Dad? We cringe, we shiver, we shut our eyes in agony at the thought of facing him again with our one intent, more bread. It's at this mo- ment that we seriously consider donning beads and sandals and heading for San Francisco where you're In if y0u're broke. Man may not live by bread alone, but woman can go a long way on his dough. Ask any father of a teenager. He'll be the guy crying in front of a piggybank with a hammer in his hand. But beware! The hammer isn't for cracking the bank. It's for the next person who approaches him for a hand- out.

W 'W -..1::f,,::,.J,.:,,.gihzwg Two Beginning Drama students become involved in the characters they are portraying in a play-cutting. I43 A Thespian . . . isn't always an actor who haughtily strides onstage, strikes a pose and proceeds to boom out a tensely dramatic scene from Julius Caesar, or Hamlet, complete with rolled R's . A Thespian . . . is the boy who unblushingly, Cwell, al- mostj can borrow a pair of red tights from the cheerleaders, con a Freddie Falcon outfit, and parade in front of the entire student body adorned as the fearless, the mighty, Coach Peter Pan Fisher. The girl whose part in a one-act play requires her to lie motionless for thirty minutes, never speaking, is every bit as much of a Thespian as the girl whose part in a classical Greek tragedy calls for her to memorize page after page ofspeeches. A WHS Thespian can be everything from prop-man to Star, many times both. Just equip him with a can of gray hairspray, some thick, heavy greasepaint, and subtract a few inhibitions, and for one evening, he is someone else. The magic ofillusion is the task ofThespians. The fear of forgetting a line, making an entrance too soon, for worse, missing a cuel is ever present, but it's the same fear of embarrassment that stimulates a Thespian to do his or her best. Novice actors have much to learn. They can be caught in the act of gaining experience, knowledge, and apprecia- tion of theater while in Advanced Dramatics class, Begin- ning Dramatics, a theater conference at the University of Iowa, or learning about community theater at the Play- crafters' Barn. After logging all the hours spent in learning the prin- ciples of drama and comedy, hours spent in rehearsal and memorizing lines, and the special investment of caring about a part, a play can still be canceled because, it wasn't quite right. The search for perfection leaves no margin for producing a play that simply won't jell. But disappointments are part of being a Thespian, and they do occur, even at West. Thespians log something more than hours of work thoughvfulfillment of the highest order. The drained feel- ing after a show, the light-headed sensation after having used up every bit of energy.

The sour light trickles down Filling the room with drifting shadows And discoloring the pages ofthe book That lies with open arms before me. It is the story of a poor boy Who slept on a sidewalk in New York Until he became a star pitcher with the Yankees. He now makes more money in one year Than my father does in ten. The book lies closed in the cloudy light, But I stare at my own shadowed future That moves like a day-dream on the wall. Until the drowsy morning, Rising and shining red-eyed from a night ofloves, Breaks the dark dreams that cover the room. I take two aspirins And leave for school. 145 1 Common ties of a Scandinavian home and a U.S. pepsi unite foreign students Marjatta Antola, left, and Eva Helmbrant. The memories Eva takes home with her will include the day during Foreign Student Week when she served as Mark Steffen's slave. West welcomed three foreign exchange students this year. Eva Helmbrandt, from Avesta, Sweden, joined senior Nan Romaine's family as an Amer- ican Field Service QAFSJ student. Also adding foreign flavor were Marjatta Antola of Finland, who stayed with the Reverend Glenn Wernecke and his family under the Youth for Understanding program, and Ernesto Reidner of Lima, Peru, an American Youth Exchange Program student staying ten weeks with junior Ken Hurless. After several months at West High, Eva candidly discussed topics relevant to West High. As the year progressed, the foreign student found herself absorbed by the student body almost to the point of losing her foreign identity. EVA: At first I felt confused. I felt like an AFS stu- dent. Everyone thought I could speak English. They treated me like I had no language barrier. Now I feel like an American girl together with American friends, not like an AFS student any longer. The most personal friendship of an AFS student is that with her sister. Nan and Eva seemed to think together, each one would answer the other's questions, only to be interrupted by an identical thought ofthe other. EVA: We feel very close to each other, exactly like sisters. We have our fights and have fun together. I'm Swedish and she's American . . . NAN: But that doesnft make any difference. EVA: No, that doesn't make any difference. It does with some people, you know. Eva singled out differences between her native and adopted countries. EVA: The teacher relationship is closer here in America, but there is much more respect at home. You have it easier in America, the school system is easier. It's a much bigger step from high school to college than it is in Sweden. We are much better prepared: we have more responsibility. You have to be pushed here by the teachers. But kids think itfs more fun to come to school here. Everybody goes to college but they still don't know what they want. It's rush, rush, all the time. It's dif- ferent because the education is so different. One of the things I learned about West was what real American school spirit can be. I had no idea what a pep aud or cheerleaders were. They sent me a yearbook last summer in Sweden, and I saw the pompons and I couldn't figure out what it was. About the cheerleaders, I wondered, What in the heck are they doing? And my friends couldn't figure it out either. This summer when Eva returns to Sweden, shefll be able to explain the cheerleaders, pep auds, and pompons, because just as they have become a part of every West student, so have they become a part of Eva Helmbrandt, Sweden's brunette ambassador to West High. 5 if E 1 s ii? ba sm an Foreign Flair at Ernesto Reidner and Richard Armstrong, Spanish instructor, focus upon Lima, Peru, Ernesto's home.

Science ana' the Humanzaes Junior Randy Fike's interest in the effect of artificial sweeteners provided the subject matter for his 1968 Science Fair project. Here, he receives top prize for his entry. by Judy Johnson If you chance to see a student in the halls of West with a serious look on his face and a copy of Turgunev's The Watch under his arm, he is most likely a member of Great Books Club. As many extracurricular activities at WHS are directed at rounding out the student in sciences and humanities, the Great Books Club seeks to introduce him to a very important part of the humanities- literature. Newly formed this year at West, the club was met with approval by all who joined. Starting with Chekhov's Heartache, members read various classics and met every third Tuesday to discuss them. Dis- cussions were free and relatively unchecked, having only a leader to channel the discussion into basic areas. Students learned not only to familiarize themselves with philosophies of great writers, but also to discuss their opinions and listen to those of others. Seniors expressed disappointment that the club was not formed sooner, while most juniors and sophomores look forward to next year's books. Great Books Club is only one of a number of clubs at WHS which open facets of the sciences and humanities that students were unaware of before, but appreciate more and more as they learn. Prospective chemists, biologists and physicists were given a chance to display their talents at the Seventh Annual Davenport Science Fair at West High, March 9. Junior Randy Fike captured the grand award in the biological division for the second year in a row with his exhibit about the harmful effects of artificial sweeteners on body nutrients. Through the science fair, students were given a chance to work on exper- iments, record their observations and draw conclusions from the data obtained. .lack Hudson, science department head, commented on the science fair, The taxpayer can evaluate the science department by visiting the science fair and viewing the approaches and types of material discussed in science classes today.

And due to the stil? competition and quality reputation of West's music department, these goals are not merely dreams. The West musician is respected, whether he be in instrumental or vocal music, because the school is known for its excellent music department. This reputa- tion does not come automatically, but with the work, cooperation, and participation of both director and student. The West band, under the direction of Ralph Paarmann, certainly gained acclaim as the musicians travelled to Virginia Beach, Virginia last summer to partici- pate in a week long music festival. The band, in competition with schools all over Eastern United States, brought back the runner-up trophy, conquering many high schools which have competed in the contest for several years. The band will return to Virginia Beach this summer to hopefully capture the title. In addition to preparation for the Virginia trip, the band marched at home football games, and gained honors in marching contests. The concert band presented the fall Pops Concert and participated in the Guest Artist Concert in the spring. Westis a Cappella Choir is selected by tryouts from musicians in the vocal de- partment. After singing in Girls' Glee, or Mixed Chorus, members are eligible to try out for a Cappella. This yearas eighty voice choir, directed by George Berglund, presented a fall and spring concert plus a combined concert with Bettendorf High School, in which Mixed Chorus also par- ticipated. The yearis activities were highlighted by a trip to Chicago where the choir saw the musical, Man of La Manchaw. The Show Band, directed by Ralph Paarmann, entertains at the Foreign Student Aud. Majorettes Sharalan Hudgens. Donna llein. Sharon McKean. Debby lfinch and Gwen Berndt lead the band in a downtown parade. The West Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Candace Wiebener. gained recogni- tion when nine members were selected to participate in the All-State Orchestra in November. With four band members chosen, the musicians travelled to Des Moines for the two day event. The orchestra's activi- ties for the year were highlighted by a spring concert. Although the music groups participate individually, many of their activities com- bine their talents. At Christmas, the vocal groups and the orchestra joined with Central's groups to present the Messiah . This year West provided the alto and bass soloists. Sue Lincoln and Bob Stark, for the event. The major musical attraction of the year was This is the Show that ls presented by the combination of band. orchestra, and a Cappella. The groups worked together for the success ofthe event. In the spring, the orchestra and a Cap- pella combined for a spring concert in which the groups presented individual and com- bined numbers. The highlight of the year for West musi- cians was the Tri-City Music Festival held in May. This year. with West as the host. the band. orchestra. and a Cappella com- peted with and combined with musicians from Davenport Central. Burlington. and Ottumwa High Schools. As the groups presented individual performances at the festival, they boosted the fame ol' West's music department. The individuals in each group. each de- partment, and combined musicians all strengthen the importnat part music plays at West.

M . by Sara Moon Caeser and Calpurnia sat at the banquet table with Brutus enjoying a Roman feast. They munched on appetizers of carrots, radishes, and olives. Then came the main course of chicken, beans, bread, honey, and red wine QKool-aidj. There were apples, grapes, and cookies for dessert. This typical menu of Roman times was served by first year Latin students who acted as slaves to the second and third year students at Latin Club's annual Roman Banquet, March 7. In keeping with the theme of A Funny Thing Happened To Me On The Way To The Forum, students dressed as characters of Caeserls Rome. The lowly slaves came in short togas while their masters wore long ones. After the banquet table had been cleared away, a satiric play taken from Richard Armour's account of the death of Caeser was presented for Latin stu- dents and their guests, the parents of the third year students and several faculty members. There was a switch in the casting, however, for girls played the stalwart Roman statesmen while males por- trayed the beautiful women of Rome. To climax the banquet, a prize was awarded for the best actor, Pat Finkenhoefer, the best slave, Simon Ramirez, and the best costume, Mark Naumann. to-MN, Mmm 'Im HS-wmv-vv?

Tri-Y, which is affiliated with the Daven- port Young Women's Christian Association QYWCAJ, is the only club which sponsors events jointly with Central and Bettendorf High Schools. This type of activity among girls from different schools leads to a better understanding of fellow man and to fellowship between group members. Each year a wide variety of events are scheduled for Tri-Y girls. Mothers are guests at a style show, another activity is arranged for members and their dates, and teachers are guests at the annual Apple Polishers Party. Superb planning is essential for a smooth running year as Tri-Y officers have learned. President Sally Schick, Vice-President Cindy Rey- nolds, Secretary Jan Erps, and Treasurer Ginalie Bein have each learned the value of organizing and planning for a top-notch club. A traditional kick-off picnic in.the early fall has a two-fold purpose. First, it serves as an initiation for sophomore members and secondly, it gives members a chance to meet each other and talk over past picnics with old friends. A change of pace occurs as Tri-Y members invite a woman teacher to the Apple Polishers Party. Invitations, whimsical as the party itself, are attached to the stems of shiny red apples. Relaxation is the keynote of the party as teachers and hostesses gather for sing-a-long's and games. The fashion-conscious are not forgotten by Tri-Y activity planners, and this year mothers of members are guests at the annual Spring Style Show. Spring and summer fashions, both formal and informal are modeled by Tri-Y members to highlight the show. The serious aspect of Easter is emphasized by Tri-Y's Holy Week services. During the week before Easter, ministers of different faiths are invited to deliver a sermon before school to interested students. To wind up a successful year, West, Central, and Bettendorf High Schoofs Tri-Y clubs combine their ollficers to plan the Klem Kadiddle Hop. This turn- about dance gives members the opportunity to invite their favorite guy to the informal dance. Hill- billy attire is the order of the night, but the enter- tainment is definitely modern. Folksingers Judy Beckford, Sally Dannacher, Jenny Spencer. and Carol Hurlburt entertain for guests at the Apple Polishers Party. After a day of classes. friendly discussion seemed to relax those who attended the party. 5 .f f -V ' 3, K iff Gretchen Barlosch and Miss Sylvia Lundin enjoy u grime Cindy Reynolds dances Z1 of nord scrzibble during the routine for Tri-Y members Apple Polishers Party.

The inside Story-GR by Carol Hovey GRA carried out a full year of activities, including many new, original ones in addition to the traditional club activities. The first of the year's events was a Kick-off picnic, planned to initiate the incoming sophomores. The rain on Sept. 20 didn't dampen the GRA girls' spirits, and the sophs suffered through the obstacle course initiation as painstakingly as if it had been held outside rather than in the gym. Hosting Central's GRA on October 4, the girls took advantage of the mild fall weather and hiked to the public school property at Locust and Wisconsin streets where a hot dog roast and singing entertain- ment were enjoyed by girls from both schools. Two weeks later, GRA girls witnessed the planting of a tree by the northeast corner of the building, as a GRA project for the betterment of West High. Chili with Pop gave girls an opportunity to enjoy many forms of recreation with their fathers. Volley- ball, basketball, and several hilarious relays served to produce tremendous appetites in father and daughters alike. A delicious chile dinner was then served in the cafeteria. The holiday spirit infected many girls as they visited hospitals and nursing homes, bringing songs and gifts to the appreciative invalids. The Dec. 20 party concluded GRA activities for I967. l968 brought Bowling with Mom, and with it, many mother-daughter combinations, ready to have fun, and compete for the highest individual, and as well as team scores. The Wrangler Romp, a new idea in GRA, aroused much discussion and controversy among boys and girls alike. When they finally decided to give it a try, however, most found that it was one of the most lively, enjoyable events ofthe year. Two months of planning, working, and worrying were rewarded as 350 couples danced in the romantic wonderland of Shalimar on March I6. The Grand Gala, following a theme of India, gave many girls the perfect opportunity to participate in the leap year tradition, and ask a very special boy to the turnabout affair. Corsages and boutonnieres, semi- formal dress, special hairdos, and the announcement of the Gala King made the evening very exciting and memorable for everyone. Another new event on GRA's calendar was the Co-rec night, co-sponsored by the Lettermen's Club and GRA. Many couples took advantage of the WHS recreational facilities for an evening of swimming volleyball, cageball, and many other fun-filled activities. The GRA banquet was held on May 15, featuring the presentation of awards, and the installation of the newly elected GRA oflicers for the '68-'69 school year. The banquet was the first responsibility of the new officers as a group. The changeable fall breeze was a problem as girls tried to keep smoke out of their faces during the hot dog roast at the hike when the WHS GRA hosted Central's. Paul Rides for West was the name of CiRA's homecoming float. which won third place in the Falcon Days Aud. Paul Rcvere lPhyllis Vogtl rode through the gym shouting. The victory is coming! Couples laughingly tell in line as the caller began the next square dance at GRAB Wrangler Rompf' Apple cider and donuts added to the rural flavor ofthe event. GRA girls from Central and West hiked double-tile along West Lo- cust Street on their way to the public school property at Wiscon- sin and Locust Streets. There the two schools shared in a leisurely picnic and entertainment. Sophomore GRA members hold their tickets high as they reluctantly prepare for their initiation at the Kick- off Picnic on Sept. 20, 'vi aa. Q to r lx.

A UESTRA PRE ENTS HDI EY'S,' by Carol Hovey NONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOURV' This outcry could be heard over the strains of some spirited music nearly every time the synchronized swimmers practiced. The num- bers are Mrs. Ruth Johnson's method of setting a rhythm for lengths of synchronized stroking or ballet legs. Every Thursday night, the Aquesta Club met for an hour and a half, improving their general swimming ability, and their individual stunts, This year's synchronized swim team, for the First time organized into a club, elected Sue Lincoln as their president, Becky Dyer, vice-president, Carol Hovey, secretary, and Glenna Hovey, treasurer. Linda Yager was selected by the officers as training manager. The other members of the club are Cheryl Arp, Peggy Buennig, Debbie Dyer, Sue Eberlein, Donna Frymoyer, Barb Groves, Sue Hasse, Sally Hogue, Ronda Hutchinson, Kathy Kaiser, Chris Kakert, Sally Lichtenstein, Julie McGrath, Jackie Niemand, Wendy Peters, Cindy Petersen, Roberta Post, Becky Renihan, Theresa Roth, Lynn Ruefer, Yvonne ShaiTer, Debbie Schneckloth, JoAnn Schroeder, Diane Untiedt, and Phyllis Vogt. The theme of the synchronized swim show, 'Walt Disney, was selected before Christmas vacation. Music was then selected for each number, and by mid-February, choreographers had Hnished writing the numbers. Extensive practicing began both seventh period and after school. Costumes, lighting, and decorations were the next big concern. Each girl was responsible lor the making of her own costume. Lighting was arranged with the custodians to compliment each number, and Walt Disney characters were chosen to narrate the show. On April 27 and 28, the year's goal was finally attained, three smooth-running performances, enjoyable forthe cast and the audience alike. A seventh period practice session found Glenna Hovey and Linda Yager rehearsing for a duet in the synchronized swim show.

The Falcons started out the season with wins over Bettendorf and Assumption. After two conference losses to Rock Island and Moline, the Falcons decided to make history, for at the pep and for the first West-Central game to be played in the WHS gym, Coach Dave Wessel vowed that his team would beat the Blue Devils, a team then ranked fourth in the state. Few people believed at the time, but Honest Dave and the Falcons snatched a 34a32 upset victory from Central. Even though the varsity basketball squad could only make ninth place in the MVC, it set a new traditionxbeating the Central Blue Devils on the Falcon court. The cagers played the rest of the year in a losing streak with intermingled victories over Jefferson, Clinton and Kennedy. The Falcons ended the season with a 6al3 record, a 4a l3 record in the conference, and a share of the city crown. Terry Williams was the team's leading scorer for the season with a 17 point average. The top rebounder for the club was Ken Kuhlenbeck with 124 rebounds.

Sophomores and new school records high- lighted the 1967-1968 West High swimming campaign as the tankers experienced their most successful season. Finishing fourth in the state meet and sec- ond in district were just part of the swim- mers' accomplishments. The tankers suc- cessfully defended their own invitational, placed fourth in the Rock Island Invitational and compiled a dual meet record of 10-3, defeating city rival Central twice and Rock Island for the first time. But, the swimmers also had their moments of disappointment finishing only fourth in the Quad-Cities and sixth in the Mississippi Valley Conference. However, it was the new school records that seemed to take much of the spotlight. Only the 100 yard breaststroke and 200 yard medley relay events survived the on-rush of new records.

Sophomore Steve Shippey and junior Rod Myers paced the record setting with two new times each. Shippey set a new record in the 200 yard individual medley, 2:l0.l, and the 100 yard freestyle,0:52.9. Myers hit new marks in the 400 yard freestyle, 4:l2.8, and the 200 yard free- style, l:55.4. Also joining in on the rec- ord setting were juniors John Rogers in the 50 yard freestyle, 0:23.6, and Ken Martens in the 100 yard backstroke, 0:58.6. And finally, the team of Blaine Koch, Dan Matheson, Martens and Rog- ers swam a new time in the 400 yard freestyle relay, 3:3l.5, which also placed first in state competition. Playing a major part in this record setting were sophomores who, according to new head coach Don Jepsen, supplied added strength to the front line as well as depth. Three sophomores who proved especially important in constructing this season record were Steve Shippey, Blaine Koch and Don Eisler. But still an experi- enced nucleus of juniors and seniors were also vital in sparking this team to its finest season ever in West High history. Another reason for the tankers success has been the addition of new head coach Don Jepsen. Anticipating an even better season next year, Jepsen remarked con- cerning this year, This season has been very gratifying for me. Our younger boys were our strong points, providing us with much depth.

When the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, he writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. And the One Great Scorer could write plenty on the 67f 68 wrestling season! It was a modest season with a modest beginning. The dual meet season was a long series of roads on which a victorious stop came only once when the Falcon grapplers beat Assumption. Close meets were few and tar apart, and the season ended with a l ll record. West took third in the sectional meet, which qualihed Tom Bribriesco, '70, and Jim Olsen, '68, to continue to the district competition, However, the season ended at the dis- trict when WHS wrestlers failed to qualify for state, and the Falcon team finished eleventh. The only senior grappler to finish the season was Jim Olsen, who received the Jackie Boltz Award.

A cigarette dangled in the corner of his mouth. He told me to sit down. I have a case for you, he said. It's a toughie. I have inside information that delegates from three nations are going to meet in the West High cafeteria March 28. I'm sending you there to act as a double agent. Find out what they're going to do. Crash that meeting and crack this case. I have only one lead for you. They call it the ITP. Must be some sort of code. Find out what it means. Be at the meeting by six o'clock that evening. Good luck. At six o'clock the evening of March 28 I crept in a back entrance of WHS and made my way toward the cafeteria. I noticed two strangely dressed girls in front of me. They may be ringleadersf I thought. I decided to follow them. They both wore long skirts and embroidered jackets. One wore wooden shoes. As they turned into the cafeteria however, I was disappointed to see that my suspects were Eva Helmbrandt and Marjatta Antola, foreign students, in native dress. Once within the meeting room, I drifted about monitoring conversations in attempt to pick up intelligence. I joined a group clustered around a boy holding a covered dish. I heard the word noodlen mentioned. Thinking it was surely a password, I repeated it. The boy uncovered the dish to reveal a quantity of buttered noodles. I was dismayed to learn that noodlen was the German word for noodles. I wondered silently if the noodles contained any microfilm. Unabashed, I headed toward a group setting up some compli- cated equipment. 'fThis must be a secret weapon, I noted. As I came upon the group I demanded to know who they were. Me And The Rest Of Us, came the reply. Don't get smart, I snorted. Who are you? We're a combo, stupid. That's our name. Now, get lost. A line began to form in front of several long tables filled wtih food, and I inconspicuously joined it, although I suspected the whole thing was a trap to induce me to eat drugged food. In the end, I fell victim to the platters of duck and garlic bread from France, the sauerkraut and bratwurst from Germany, and the tacos contributed by the Spanish delegation. For a half- hour I feasted and forgot all about my assignment. Then a panic seized me. I did not solve the case. What did ITP stand for? lmperturbable Totem Pole? Indians, Turtles, and Porcupines'7 Involuntary Turkish Prickly-Pears? I was at a loss. Suddently the sound of guitars blared into my ears. Couples began to dance. I sat alone at my table, consuming leftover garlic bread. I bit into something concealed within the bread. It was a n0tc. I unfolded it and was elated to find the cryptic letters interpreted. The note read: This year's International Tasting Party was a great success. Come back again next year. I stole out into the dark, confident that the boss would be pleased with my discovery. by Sara Moon t-I AFS student Eva Helmbrandt models a costume from her native Sweden at the International Tasting Party. wqgj gp'- K 'wt uf r ,. 1 Wm ,' me A M...-1 fe X, ' 'R The ITP gave foreign language club members a chance to taste a variety ot' foreign foods. ii?fl?f ,ii ,, i is l we tif Xl an we nw S ,fa A 4, ' Party-goers eagerly await the sig nal for the food to be served. xr. 1 ,tt ,ri,tr 3 ,. v W ix it .M . t ' f - .

The first such activity was the annual Taco Party held September I9 at Fejevery Park. The Taco Party is held to provide an opportunity to renew and make friendships at the beginning of the school year. October found a devoted core of Spanish Club members working on their Falcon Days float that depicted Freddy Falcon discovering the Fountain ofVictory. The next event sponsored by the club was a swimming party in November. The party was held at the West pool, and refreshments were served afterwards. In December came the Christmas Fiesta, The highlight of the evening was the breaking of the giant, candy-filled pinata, made in the shape of a guitar. March saw the largest event sponsored by the language clubs, the International Tasting Party. This was the second year for the ITP and its sec- ond success with over 200 French, German, and Spanish students attending. A Spanish feature film, Mexican Bus Ride, was shown in April, and with May came the tradi- tional Hayrack Ride to Wildcat Den State Park where clubbers ate and reminisced about the school year. International gourmets return for second helpings. German Club by Steve Holmgren German Club's social calendar contained varied activities this year. First on the program was a swimming party held in October at the West pool with refreshments served afterwards. Next to come was the Oktoberfest held in November. The dinner served in the cafe- teria included turkey and pumpkin pie. With December and the Christmas season came the Christmas Pizza Party. March brought the International Tasting Party where all three foreign language clubs met in the cafeteria for an evening of eating and dancing. Warm weather and charcoal-grilled ham- burgers provided the incentive for the Spring Hamburger Fry and Swimming Party, the last activity of the year. French Club by Sara Moon French Club's first activity this school year was the building of the Falcon Days float which showed the aid given by France to the American revolutionaries, in keeping with the American history theme of the parade. The float won second prize. A hayrack ride followed in October, and the Christmas season was celebrated with a caroling party. During the year three swimming parties were held, in November, January, and March. Club members supplied foods from France for the ITP late in March. This represented a combined elTort of French, German, and Spanish Clubs. In the spring a car wash was conducted to raise money to support future French Club activities. The Spanish Club's Taco Party provided a chance for members to meet and become acquainted early in the school year, cinders f'chalk In the spring a young man's fancy turns to fairer things made of sugar and spice, but at WHS a young man's thoughts turn to cinders, chalk, asphalt, and grass. Even though, the girls are not left out of spring completely as some of that sugar and spice to become WHS linksters and netters.

Although the two sexes might look at a date in different ways, the date itself is something special which is of major importance to the boy and to the girl. A tirst date is especially difficult, but along with the difliculties, the small uncertainties and embarrassments, arise a few moments which make everything worthwhile. These moments may be when a sudden glimpse of understanding is expe- rienced by bothg the fleeting wonder that something far deeper lies beneath the surface of spoken wordsg a touch of the hand or an unexpected kiss. It often starts in study hall . . . by Dianne Lundva!! and Steve Toth Illustrated by Joye Toth 233 l i This homework is just too much. I don't have time for this. I don't know what those teachers are thinking ofAperhaps that all I have to do is read their books and do their lousy assignments. Look at that stupid guy sitting across from me writing a note to his girl. I'd like to tell him what to write. Better look for the teacher first. Ah, there he is, hiding behind the pillar. I bet he thinks I canlt see him. Alli, alli, in free! I see you, teacher. Hey, wait. Who's that? A good-looking girl. And, she's looking at me. I wonder how long she's been watching me. Look at her now, pretending she wasn't looking. Nice hair, pretty face, she's got a good Hgure. Dress not too short. Strange that I never noticed her before. Look at her now. She knows I saw her looking. I wonder what shels thinking. Illl have to find out her name. ug., . ,.3gs,,zf sit.

I wonder what his name is . . . I haven't seen him around school before. I'm almost afraid to look up again, because I know when I do, he'll be there, just staring. I wonder if some- thing's wrong with me. Is everybody else staring at me too? No, just him. I think I'll glance up just one more time, and if he's looking, I think I'll smile. Maybe it would be better not to smile, maybe I should just look at him in a questioning way, like What are you trying to prove by staring at me like that? He's kind of neat looking, really. I wonder if he has a girUriend. If he does, he shouldn't keep staring at me! I'll have to ask some ofthe kids if they know his name, and what he is like. Okay. I've made up my mind. It doesn't hurt anybody to smile, so the next time that I look up, if he's still staring at me, l'm going to smile. Not a real big smile, just a little, mysterious one. He smiled back at me! Most boys would've just turned their heads, but he smiled back. He has such a nice smile. I think I'd like to get to know him better. . . Y - Y,.V W - YY I can't believe that l'm going out with him! Every- thing has happened so fast,' I was so surprised when he asked me out. Maybe I should've waited until I knew him better to go out with him. I mean, I really don't know much about him. At least I remembered to bring a dime along, so :fl get mad at him I can call my dad to come get me. But that's silly. He's really very nice, and I think my folks liked him. He certainly keeps his eyes on the road when he drives. Maybe he's sorry that he asked me out. I wish I could think ofsomething to say! I wish he'd say something. He's so quiet. But I like quiet people. I like his hair and his nose . . . I think maybe he's just a little bit conceited. I really don't think welre going to have any fun tonight. At the rate we're going, we probably won't say more than ten words. A fine beginning this is. Here we are driving to some movie, the name of which I've somehow forgotten, probably as dull as a butterknife. There she is, sitting so far away from me that she's stretching this car to twice its normal width. A grand evening this will be! Some bald-headed guy will be sitting beside me in the theatre with a cold, hacking his way through each love scene while his son pops his mouth with each kiss. She looks frightened. She probably thinks that l'll make her pay for her own ticket or that I'll hold her hand too tightly and her fingers will turn purple. l'll turn the mirror so that I can study her. I wonder if she can feel my eyes touching her. The movie is dull and listless and the hacking man and popping boy are sitting behind us. And before us sit rows of gray bodies staring at the movie screen, living their one-dimensional fantasies. I turn to the girl beside me. Her eyes are silent upon me just as they were in the study hall. There is a message written in her eyes, but it is obscured by a strangeness that I cannot read. I wonder if I should touch her hand. Her hand, somehow conscious of my attention, moves in nervous patterns. The film drones on, and a faceless body in front of me nods its gray head in slumber. Per- haps we should leave. That's a stupid idea! Where would I take her? To the park? I turn back to the strange girl beside me and study her in confusion until the sluggish story on the screen betrays itself with an unnoticed climax and dies. Now that we're at the movie, things are going a little better. At least we managed to talk while we walked here. I was all wrongfhe isn't hard to talk with at all. I liked the way that he walked on the out- sidefmost boys don't remember to do that. What in the world is this show about? I'd rather look at him than the screen. I wonder U'he'll try to hold my hand. Maybe he a'oesn't like me at all, and just asked me out as ajoke. No, I know he didn't, because ofthe way he looks at me. He seems so dqferent than all the other boys I know. He's quiet, but .somehow l'm not bored at all. lt's all right being quiet with him, because I feel so much at ease. I guess he's a little bit shy. Somehow, when I look at him, it seems like he's a million miles away, yet he wants very much to return. I'm probably imagining everything, but I get the feel- ing that he's been as lonely as I've been, and now may- be neither ofus are going to be quite so lonely anymore. There is still some time before I have to take her home. Perhaps there is still a chance for us. At least she is closer to me now. I'll readjust the mirror so that I can see her better. I wonder if I should take her to the park or just drive around. She is close enough for me to reach out and touch her. Perhaps she wants me to touch her or maybe she is only teasing me. I can see her face. Her eyes reflect softly and her lips move silently. I've taken other girls to the park, but she seems so different from the others. The park appears before us. And as we enter. a glance at her eyes in the mirror tells me that she is not surprised. I wonder where we're going now that the movie's over. He didn't mention going out to eat, and anyway, 1 don't think we have enough time. That was the longest movie I ever sat through in my entire llfe, and I still don't know what it was about. He said he didn't like it too much either . . , I wonder where he's taking me? It seems as though he doesn't know either. Maybe we're just going to ride around awhile. That seems to be what we're doing. I think it's okay that I'm sitting next to him now instead ofby the window. And anyway, I know him so much better now than I did before. It's funny how quickly you can get to know somebody, even with- out talking a whole lot. Oh, I don't knowfit sounds silly, but somehow I think I can communicate with him without even talking. Where are we going? I really don't think that he'll . . . no, he doesn't seem the type. Not at all. I'm sure he isn't even thinking about going to a park. That's probably the last thought in his mind. Anyway, if he did, 1'd just say, Take me home. 1t's not right to park on thefirst date, I'djust say, Take me home! She rests in the moonlight that is falling softly through the window. If she wanted to leave, she would have told me by now. Perhaps I should say something like how is school or did you enjoy the movie. No, she would see through that, just as she probably sees through me. She knows what I will do next, even if I don't. I've been here before with other girls, but they all are lost forever, fading like strangers carrying dusty memories and disappearing into crowds. But she is different. Perhaps she understands me. I must find out. I must kiss her, but softly. Her eyes widen with a question that my kiss did not remove. I kiss her again for a long moment, hoping that she will somehow understand my confusions and forgive my own fears. The moonlight ignites my watch dial and the hands point homeward. No! He's stopping the car in this park. What should I say? 1 don't know what on earth to say. I hate him! Why did he have to do this and spoil everything? 1t's probably my fault because 1'm sitting next to him in- stead ofby the window. Maybe I should move over, I'll just say, Take me home! I can't say it. Ijust can't! It might hurt his feelings. It just wouldn't be the right thing to say. He won't let his eyes meet mine. He's going to kiss me now, and may- be 1'll understand a little better what he isfeeling. I want to understand! His kiss was hesitant, as though he was not quite sure about me. But nowgnow, his second kiss is longer and I can look clearly into his eyes. Now he is not afraid to look at me. Before I kiss her I check the house windows for sleepy parents, ready to inspect our every movement. I read her eyes as I would a poem, and I know that I must see her again. I kiss her and she disappears be- hind the door. And as I walk carefully down the steps. the evening greets me with gifts of expectations. And I wonder if she, in the mystery of her room, dreams as I do ofour future. date together. The first date is so special I wish w could start all over. I was so silly to be nervous an scared about going out with him. I will go inside nex and my mother will be awake and she will ask, A'Ho was your date? And l'll say, Fine And she'll say What did you do ajer the show? And 1'll answe We got something to eat. I won't let anyone destro, the magic oftonight. ' s l I have to go inside now, and this is the end ofourfirs . J . 1 c V r 1 Its strange but I m not even worried that he mzgh not call me tomorrow, like I usually worry about boy l'm not worried because I know he'll call. I know we' go out again. Just as surely as he's saying Good night' to me now, he'll be saying Good morning to me mang times in the future. And I'll answer him. I think we'ri going to like each other very much . . . Acknowledgements The lights are turned out and the door to Pub has been closed until next year. The 1968 Shaheen is now in your hands. But somehow this doesn't seem to be the end of the story. We hope the year will live on, recorded in permanent form between the two covers of the Shaheen. We've recorded the year as we think you'll want to remember it. But the book you see before you could never have been produced without the help ofcountless people outside the staffitself. First, and foremost, Rod Vahl, publications adviser, was our mainstay in the avalanche of work during the year. His invaluable ideas, suggestions and guidelines kept us on the track as well as carrying us through the rough times. Principal Bob Liddy and the faculty deserve our appreciation for their cooperation throughout the year in supplying information and putting up with persistent photographers. Our special note of added appreciation to Mr. Fred Stoeker for his counsel in our technical difficulties, and to American Yearbook Company, the firm he represents, for the finished product you see before you. Our hats are also off to Warner-Medlin Studios for the fine quality ofthe senior portraits. Advertisers listed provided the financial support needed to pro- duce this book. Solicitation of these firms in the most valuable thanks we can give them. Help given us by the Davenport Times-Democrat in providing pictures in the Introduction is greatly appreciated. Our thanks to the Beak in Eye, News Bureau, and journalism class for their many contributions in typing, layouts, and photog- raphy as well as entire articles. But the greatest thanks of all go the hundreds of students at WHS who, knowingly or not, contributed material provided subject material for the 1968 Shaheen. '68 Shaheen Staff 240 QQ?
