A teacher in Rockford High Schools since 1907 and a Senior Class Counselor since 1925, Miss Vincent has always been prepared to aid high school students. Possessed of unlimited interests she has travelled widely. With a cheerful disposition and youthful outlook, she has always been ready to give willingly of her time and effort. Patient, friendly, and understanding, her absence occasioned by her retirement this year will long be felt by those students and faculty members who have known her best. To Miss Vincent, who has given thirty-eight years of service to Rockford High Schools, the Staff of the 1945 Annual dedicates this book. ETHEL VINCENT M.

They mingled their laughter with the rest of us in the classrooms, assemblies, and corridors. They contributed their part in the classroom and laboratories. They assumed their responsibilities on our athletic teams, in our dramatic and musical organizations, and in the other activities of the school. Today, they live only in the silent memory as those who did well their part while pupils in West High School and as members of our armed forces. Today, we honor them not only for their contributions to West High School and as members of our armed forces but as boys who gave ' h l' nd h t r children and our children's children might continue their all that our country mig t ive a t a we, ou , to enjoy the rights of freedom. We honor and revere their memories. 5 JAMES E. BLUE, Principal 7 5 T , I' . ...V-4611, ' , . -frrff 'Wi '4 , i5i?,ig,-.,- gin' ilu!

Along its pathway lies the administration and faculty of West High School. Looking forward to the time when peace shall again reign upon the earth, the members of the faculty and Board of Education are striving to perfect improved methods of teaching and planning. Forming the basis for the new technology, the faculty through their excellent examples as well as their instruction, impart to those within their realm of knowledge ideas which will be indispensable when it is the studentis turn to take his rightful place in tomorrow's peaceful world. Personal guidance is one of the main functions of the counselors. Innumerable tests enable the class room teachers to classify students according to their special abilities. By interpreting the results of tests they enable students to find their places in the future peace. The development of prsonal opinions is vital for participation in the post-war era. Since democracy is based on the opinions of the people from every walk of life, all original ideas may combine into plans which will produce permanent peace and wise solutions to many problems which the war has incurred. Each teacher must enforce discipline as part of his work, for a well-disciplined youth builds toward a strong nation which constitutes the very foundation of peace. Through these methods the administration of West High School is striving to travel the first road to peace-preparing for the new technology. tr-at FUR THE NEW ' -'z I, ,A-f ? , .XQi,I.VX x X an f!Q...n-A MR.

The duties of this public- spirited group, who receive no salary for their work requires a sense of justice as well as a knowledge of what is best for each school and its community. Acting as an advisory board, the members pass all appointments for positions in the schools upon the personal recommendation of the Super- intendent of Schools. At the regular meetings which occur the second and fourth Monday of the month all requisitions for the purchase of supplies, additional grounds, and any educational equipment, as well as the payment for these purchases is approved by the members of the Board. An important issue which was taken up and settled by the Board of Education this year was the salary adjustment for teachers, clerks, and janitors who are employed in the sys- tem. A forty-five dollar a month increase on the basic salary was allowed to the l945-46 contracts for all teachers, thirty- five dollars for clerks, and a twenty-five dollar increase for the city school janitors. The Board of Education planned its finances so that there will be money for the same salary adjustment for the future. l2 MR. ALBERT A. MR. HARRY MR. CHARLES MISS VERA E. MR. SELMER H SCHLAF SHAW H.

Under the direction of Mrs. Marion Bates, the Education Committee approves appointments for the teaching staff. With Mr. Charles Roe as head, the Business and Finance committee, handles the business affairs and budgets of the school sys- tem as well as approving the payment of any bills. The Purchasing Committee with Ernest Estwing as its chairman approves purchases of all educational supplies, coal, and insurance. With Mr. Thomas Nolan as chairman the Building and Grounds Committee approves the employment of custodians and makes arrangements for improvement and upkeep of the buildings. Keeping an eye on the coming post-war era, the Board of Education has been looking over suburban areas of the city with the thought of locating additional school sites. The 1945 budget has allowed 315,000 for the purchase of a site if a desirable location is found. At some of the meetings the establishment of a Junior College or some type of an adult college which might be maintained in the old central high school has been discussed. The Board has not, however, made any definite plans along this line, but has instead been of assist- ance to the City Planning Commission in their work of planning a better post-war Rockford. Since society makes definite requirements of all youth, education must meet certain specific needs which society recognizes and willingly supports. One of the best recent statements of the common educational needs of youth is that published by the National Association of Secondary School Principalsl' expressed as follows: All youth need to de- velop salable skills: all youth need to develop and maintain good health and physical fit- ness: all youth need to understand the rights and duties of the citizen of a democratic society: all youth need to understand the significance of the family for the individual and society: all youth need to know how to purchase and use goods and services intelli- gently: all youth need to understand the influence of science on human life: all youth need an appreciation of literature, art, music, and nature: all youth need to be able to use their leisure time well and to budget it wisely: all youth need to develop respect for other persons: all youth need to grow in their ability to think rationally. james E.

But efforts to educate all the people must be greatly stepped-up, and illiteracy, deplorable in a nation of our resources, should be elimi- nated. Our millions of soldiers, returning acquainted with peoples of far-Hung lands, should help educate us all to be World- conscious. Education will be needed to use to greater advantage the increased leisure-time brought by Peace. Hazel G. Putnam 'FUN HAZEL G, PUTNAM B.A. Dean of Girly ARTHUR W. LUNDAHL M.A. Arrirtzml Principal Education has been defined as the process of preparing for better citizenship in a community. All courses at West High School point in that direction. It is our hope that through these courses our grad- uates may realize a happier citizenship and that they may serve their community more efficiently. Arthur W. Lundahl HELEN F. LA VERNE F, GLEN L.

Because it has brought the great powers together in a common desire to plan for peace, Mr. Barnes sees hope in the Dumbarton Oaks conference. With the aid of America, Mr. Batesole feels that China will become a great industrial power. To perpetuate a true democracy Mr. Berg favors the practice of the Golden Rule. Mr. Beyer believes that China must be dominant in the Far East so that future trouble there can be averted. Mr. Boronr feels that if no profits could be obtained from war, there would no longer be wars. ln the opinion of Miss Boyd the foundation of an enduring peace is justice. Because of mili- tary censorship it is impossible for Lt. Boyd to discuss any issues related to the post-war period. In dealing with post- war unemployment, Miss Brown feels that our first consider- ation should be for returning war veterans. Until we can teach conquered nations the values of democracy, economic control should be established, Mr. Cady feels. To prevent want, a plan of equal distribution should be devised accord- ing to Miss Campbell. 16 1 frafih-f H' +I a-tile Q. a n 4 24 i 1-:ta??,?4 9 I .. was life V '- re f il ri. NIARY l.

Dilley Military Training Program Discussed Because it is not in harmony with our ideas of democracy, Miss Carlson does not favor a compulsory military program. Mrs. Coxon favors a plan of educating the German people by allowing their access to a radio and world press. In Miss Currier's estimation the first requisite for future is unselfish consideration for others. lf the United States is to be an example of a truly democratic country, Miss Dentler feels that we must try to work together in better harmony. When China develops a strong unified government without danger of exploitation, she will become the most progressive power in the East feels Miss Depping. Although the Dumbarton- Oaks Conference was a step toward peace, Miss Driebusch feels it will not eradicate war's fundamental causes. Boycott and complete isolation from the civilized world is one solu- tion to the Japanese problem in Miss Fishers opinion. Be- cause of the need of work in conservation in Alaska, Miss Foster feels unemployment for many can be avoided. Only when the United States affects race equality will we have a true democracy states Miss Geddes. In the post-war world, Miss Greenlee is convinced that a lower standard of living will exist.

Hnrnploreyf Teachers See Post War Improvements Mrs. Hiestand feels that a compulsory military program should be established as a peacetime measure. ln Miss Hollemis opinion eventual extermination of Nazis princi- ples in the oncoming years should promote lasting demo- cratic interrelationships. The South American countries will hold a stronger economic position in the post-war world, Mr. Horrall feels. Because it will offer training in discipline, Miss Johnson favors peacetime compulsory military train- ing. Military censorship does not permit Sgt. johnson to discuss any political, national, or international issue. Ger- man factories should be supervised by the Allies until the Germans are capable of running them for the good of humanity is Mr. Klampeis opinion. Miss Knill thinks that Russia will take the leadership in reprimanding the German aggressors. The Big Three conferences will form the best basis for lasting peace believes Mr. Maitland. Miss Mar- quardt feels that to maintain permanent peace, we must have unity, equality, tolerance, and military preparedness which will be accomplished after generations of education. To deal justly with conquered nations after the War We must put ourselves in their positions, according to Mr. Max. In Du Pont's phrase better things for better living, Mr. Miller sees a post-War World full of improvements in many fields. MYRTLE I. NELSON B.Ed. Commercial Department Ai'i'1.ulant H ead MARGARET G.

Miss Obye feels that since the German aggressors have shown no regard for Christianity, they cannot expect to be the beneficiaries of Christian consideration. The only hope Miss Ollman sees for maintaining world peace is the establishment of a World-wide program of education. Miss Pearson is convinced that extensive education for all is a requisite for true democracy. If we are to be represented as a true democracy, Miss Pierce feels there must be racial quality. Looking into the post-war world, Mr. Pratt sees better health and living conditions. Miss Ralston is con- vinced that a compulsory military program would benefit both the individual and the nation. In Mr. Robesonls opin- ion, the German aggressors should be treated as they so unmercifully treated others. Because of the fanatical nature of our enemies, Mr. Rose sees the war lasting on into 1947 at least. An essential factor which will contribute to lasting peace in Mr. Sabin's opinion is an open-door agreement among nations. The great strides taken in aviation and science will in many Ways affect the post-war world is Miss Scandroli's opinion. fav 6 1. 4' ., t X QM A We - . L All CHRISTINE GRACE P, ROBERT B.

Mrs. Shumate feels that the political, industrial, and military control of German should be given to the Allies. Mr. Shumway is convinced that the scientific knowledge of war can mold a peaceful, more satisfactory world. Carefully supervised education in enemy countries is Miss Slade's opinion of what must be done to maintain peace. In the post-war world Mr. Trumbull thinks that Germany should be stripped of heavy industry and japan should be con- trolled by the United States. lf we desire peace and world cooperation in the post-war world, we must put high ideals into practice, Mrs. Vincent feels. Because it teaches lessons in discipline, Miss Vincent supports peacetime compulsory training. Miss Walker favors the domination of the military province of Prussia. Because of the japanese occupation of China, Mr. Weber favors their forced return to their home island. The price for maintaining lasting peace will be as costly as war feels Miss Weinschenk. Although conquered nations should not produce war supplies, Mr. Whitenack feels they should get raw materials for other manufacturing. MILO E. CAROLYN R. LOIIIsE HELEN R. JOHN W. MARY L. XVILLSON Bs.

Miss Worley after considerable thought states that she thinks the European War will end in 1945 and the Pacific War in 1946. Miss Wray feels that to main- tain permanent peace the feelings of super-racen and white superiority must be eradicated. Mr. Wyeth thinks that with the post-war era will come greater freedom for all peoples and an increase in socialistic tendencies. As long as people continue to think of war and aggression, Miss Davis sees no improvement in the post-war world. Accord- ing to Miss Denney, cooperation is essential in the further- ing Of friendly relationships with our South American neighbors. Because of scientific inventions, Miss Vause comments that everyone is looking ahead to a newer and brighter future. Believing that the Japanese rules should be exterminated, Miss Lindstrom feels that the re-education of the other Japanese people is essential. lf we are to be a true democracy, Mr. Schade feels we must be free from class distinction, racial prejudices, greed and selfishness, graft and intolerance. 14 - .ligliilleih In the departments many related activities take place which add a special zest to each classroom period. The art department has completed murals for the halls, the music room, made the small scale model for the May Day festival, and the murals Qshown upper lefty which are hung in the school library. Seen working on a mural are Digby Myhre, Frank Mariani, Mary Suter, and Suzanne Cutler. Since modern educators feel that the ability to think straight is one of the rnost important factors which each in- dividual should gain from his education, the English department is emphasizing the study of General Semantics which illustrates the usage of words as a means to expressing one- self clearly. Mrs. Vincent Qlower lefty is ex- plaining to Tom Markuson, Darlene Russel, Joan Hotchkiss, Bill Ferguson, and her Eng- lish class a simple diagram from one phase of the study which contrasts the Aristotelian theory of absolutism with the modern theory of liberal thought. Wlith the Presidential election of November, the analysis of the modern political speech proved to be of much value to Mrs. Coxon's American Litera- ture class. Taking notes on Leland Brewster's report flower rightj are Vivian Swanson, Frances Mulford, William Greenhow, Doris Orlandi, and Roberta Williams.

Members of Mr. Maitland's Hfth hour auto shop, Thomas Lawrence, Carlo Sherman, Robert Wilcox, Dale Hildebrand, and Thomas Stevens are shown inspecting the airplane which occupies one portion of the auto shop in the industrial department. Because of the increasing use of airplanes in the post war world, a knowledge of their mechanics will serve as an intelligent basis for careers. In the photo at the lower left are several members of Miss Vincents trig- onometry class which meets every day during the second hour. Wfendell Holmes, Bruce Gunnerson, Richard Alden, Robert Ringle, 2 Li and Beverly Campbell are shown solving a problem with the aid of a slide rule which enables the rapid calculation of mathematical problems. A knowledge of a slide rule is im- portant as it is used in many factories and industrial plants as well as by chemists, math- ematicians, and scientists. In the lower pic- ture at the right, Shirley Forsaith, Robert johnson, Mary Lee Stewart, Gene Oliver, and Gene Swenson are solving a proof in Miss Sheetz's fourth hour solid geometry class, This class has served as a foundation for en- trance into courses in higher mathematics. OFFER PRACTICAL KNO LEDGE In the upper right hand corner Betty Aalfs, Rodney Heinemeyer, Leora Buzzell, Richard Patterson, and Olive Phillips are shown op- erating the Monroe Calculators and book- keeping machines in Mrs. Shumates book- keeping ll class. The center picture shows james Nolan, Constance Cook, Audrey Franklin, and Francis Devine demonstrating the correct method of writing, folding, and sending of a business letter. These students are in Miss Deppings Typing I class. Mem- bers of the commercial classes operate many machines and learn many business techniques which will benefit them in their business ca- reers after their graduation from high school. For practical experience, the students worked for the Annual by mimeographing question- naires and by doing other general typing work. At the lower right are pictured Charles Kopf, Doris Gunter, joe Mulaie, Carolyn Nelson, Wayne Lohman, and Lois Chandler casting their sample ballots in the November national election. These students are members of Mr. Roses government class. As a result of an intensive study of the candi- dates running for election, the students are better prepared to vote intelligently when they become of voting age. The picture at the lower left shows Betty Cook, Edmund Fowler, Ann Weingartner, and Betsy Deuel inspecting the antiques displayed at Tinker Cottage. Members of Miss Whiting's socio- logy class made the trip as a part of their community study. lf we are to attain a peaceful future, educating all of the people, the second road to peace, is a factor of vital importance. During their three years of high school experience the students have been constantly prepared for participation in the era leading to peace. Entering West High for the first time, the Sophomores are baffled at the vast resources and opportunities to display individual talent which the school possesses. Soon, however, the newcomers to such a proud community, as make up the members of West High, fit into the traditional routine, gain the trait of punctuality, and learn to be disciplined. To aid each student in preparing for his chosen vocation, the counselor maps out the course which will best suit the individual. As a junior, the student usually participates in many extra- curricular activities and through discussion groups gains a wider perspective on many world-wide, national, and local problems of the day and how they may be remedied in the post-war world. Finally reaching his Senior year, the student begins to think about the part he will play in the future era of permanent peace. Looking back over his years of schooling at West High, he realizes that academic subjects are not the only subjects which are stressed. As the faculty members have been continually developing the student's mental and physical facilities, he is now able to form accurate judgements, to investigate problems by asking intelligent questions, to be tolerant of persons with different opinions, and to express his ideas clearly and conciselyg an achievement which will aid in establishing a peaceful nation and world. ,Aiwa XL73 5 Lgll LIN Xi.

Having lost his Sophomore shyness, the Junior has not yet acquired the problems of the graduating Senior. Two important Junior activities are the play and prom. Members of the Junior class become ac- quainted with activities of the Seniors by serving the Senior luncheons and ushering at the commencements. To bring the Christ- mas festivity to the junior study hall each year, a Christmas tree is decorated with tin- sel and various colored lights. Snapped dec- orating the tree Qupper leftj are standing Nancy Schmeling, George Smith, Mary Wil- sey, and kneeling, Shirley Forsaith. Shown signing dance program flower lefty is Phyl- lis Donohoe with Qleft to rightj Bob Smith, Marilyn Johnson, and Allan Geddes watch- ing her. The sleigh designs of the programs resembled the sleigh in the center of the dance floor. The surprise of the prom was Santa's visit just after the grand marchi The main feature of the junior prom was the grand march led by Peggy Rathke and jack Shugart. ln the picture Cbelowj are Qleftj Carolyn Nelson and Ed Porter, in the front row Peggy Rathke, jack Shugart, Jean Beir- iger, Maurice Patterson, Nancy Schmeling, George Gayle, Bessie Retsinas, and Alan Lee. nxiiiliinai- in SIA il i xi-3 11 t gi:---:::F---A-1 UL A ' - - P i1-1 lt! 1: T1 1 -111 rpg: nn 111 11 - 5 ll gen Planning for the Junior class play and prom, collecting the class dues, and selling war stamps and bonds are performed by the junior class counselor and officers.

Hampered by injuries for a large part of the season, fullback Dale jenkins, however, proved his worth with pow- erful line plunging and spirited defen- sive play. Dudley johnson, undisputed conference choice at guard, is one of the hardest tacklers on the squad and provides a strong wall of defense at his position. Jack Henriksen, first string tackle in the 1945 season, played half of the season's games at that post ' ,af aff! and finished as a very capable end. One of West's outstanding defensive line- men of the 1944 season was Bob Grid- ley, a valuable substitute end, who saw a good deal of action in every contest. An ideal T formation quarterback, Sour Anderson kept all opponents at bay with his terrific passing. His agile ball handling and generalship made him all-conference material. Tony Pryztulski played a consistently good game at end during the entire West schedule. Stellar offensive and defen- sive play made him a standout.

The Warriors were blessed with three very fine guards, one of whom was Leon Sherard, a hard worker and a smart defensive player. Although he did not play, Bill Lonergan made the success of the team possible by han- dling many burdensome duties and supervising the other managers. Al- though overshadowed at right tackle by all-conference Paul Muliarchik, Charles Kopf played a fine brand of football and saw a good deal of action. Martin Johnsons speed and power 1944-1945 SEASON fbvluzw ll made him a necessity in the Warrior backlield. His injury late in the season left a definite hole in the backlield. One of the finest centers in the entire state of Illinois was l96 pound Wally Bogen, an intelligent, aggressive line backer and a fine tackler. Heralded by many as the finest back in West's his- tory, Joe Fasulo, a sophomore, missed three games through injuries. He man- aged, however, to place second among Warrior scorers. Rod Heinemeyer, one of the most versatile men on the squad, played at fullback and guard before breaking in as a regular tackle in the strong Warrior line. 89 BILL LON IERGAN Manager JOE FASULO Halfback fahorel CHARLES KOPF Tackle Ibelowl DICK CONLEY Halfbark JOE ACCARDO Guard mbovel tbeloivl PAUL CORBRIDGE Ticket Manager F' Yr .Q ff? . 5 itz . 5 :,,1,:.,:......----'- t , is 9 le Ji 1 .

Giving rubdowns to the boys, and doing other heavy work are a few of his duties. Injured early in the sea- son Zeno Vourlatis was unable to play and became a manager. He instilled a great deal of spirit into the team. The important function of ticket salesman was handled this season by Paul Cor- bridge who sold tickets at games and in the halls during lunch period. Albert Cabrera, soph fullback, was bothered by an arm injury but won a starting position in many of the games largely through strong defensive play.

Hard tackling joe Accardo, stocky guard, was con- stantly harrassing the opponents back- field as he broke through frequently to make the tackle behind the line of scrimmage. The important position of center and linebacker was handled ably by diminutive Dave Marth, l4O- pounder, and a 60-minute man at his position. Although his size was a slight disadvantage at the left tackle position, Verne Malueg made up for his drawback with plenty of speed and aggressiveness.

Bob Mackie, another member of the soph backfield, hit his stride near the season's end, picking up a lot of yardage in his hardy line plunges. Al- though he started the season as a sub- stitute, Royal McMullen soon became one of the main cogs in the strong soph backfield. Sturdy Dave North handled the TH formation from his quarterback position. His fine ball handling and accurate passes decided many games for the soph eleven.

One of the twin-brother Doyle combination, Harley Doyle scored in every game and was a con- stant threat in the pass-catching de- partment. Bill Seiter, one of the two soph managers, won his first letter with Coach Wyeth's victorious Braves, keep- ing uniforms and equipment neat and in order. One of the two soph man- agers this season was Burdette Poppen, who performed many of the duties which make practice sessions go along more smoothly. -'famfi-552'-fix X Xa-.ok fxxx R 'S ,,.,.r,a:..s:a-. ,, Qt' K A is fbelvwl AVF D .

At the beginning of the season, the Braves looked like an unbeatable team, winning five games in succession, but losses to the injured varsity hurt them more than was ex- pected, and in their last two games, they came out with one tie and a loss. The Wyethmen opened the season with an impressive 19 to 6 win over the LaSalle-Peru frosh-soph team. Don Ellis, soph fullback scored twice, once after scooping up a partially blocked punt, and next after grab- bing a long pass, all in the first period. The run covered a total of 45 yards, while the pass and run covered a net total of 60 yards. East Rockford's sophs, victors over the XV ar- rior stripplings for the past four years, were the second victims of the rampaging Wyethmen, by a 25-0 margin. After a scoreless first half, the sophs came to life, scoring 7 points in the third quarter, and 18 in the final frame. Charley Doyle intercepted an East lateral in the third period, racing 55 yards to score. Two passes, one from Royal Mc- Mullen to Harley Doyle, and one from Frank Fanara to Charley Doyle scored fourth quarter touchdowns, the other coming on a 15 yard off-tackle smash by McMullen. Hono- negah, third team on the West schedule, fell before the Wyethmen by a 52-O score. Frank Fanara led the team with two touchdowns, while Don Ellis, Leonard Gallagher, and Harley Doyle also scored for the sophs. Richard Mar- sili, Brave guard, came through as an extra point specialist, scoring only two kicks. The sophs came through with two more victories before the end-of-season loss. The first was a 20-O win over Freeport, while the other was their second victory over the East sophs. Royal McMullen and Frank Fanara sparked the sophs during the Freeport battle, Mc- Mullen scoring on a short off-tackle play, while Fanara broke loose on a sixty-yard sweep around end. The other score came on a pass from Dave North to Harley Doyle. The second East-West soph tilt proved another victory for the West squad, this time 19 to 7. On the second play of the game, Dave North connected with a pass to Harley Doyle for the score. Royal McMullen and Bob Mackie ac- counted for the two other scores, At Freeport disaster almost struck the sophs where they met near defeat in a 12-12 with the Pretzelettes, now without the services of Charley Doyle and Don Ellis who graduated to the varsity. Bob Mackie made the first soph score, plunging over from three yards out, and a pass, McMullen to Harley Doyle, finished the scoring. The sophs set out for their final game with the Elgin frosh-soph squad in high hopes for an undefeated season but came back with their first loss, by an overwhelm- ing 26-12 score. Bob Mackie and Harley Doyle scored the Hnal touchdowns for the Braves! season. 1111 ll ll 'll llii KAY- IIHV1 ll lxil I-QI I1-Qlliri H' ' 5 llllil-llll Ull-Ill-lIlllUlllII Xl-ll shin ,ffl CBack rowj: Gullota, Stanton, Elston, Guagliardo, Gridley, Mutimer, Raney, J.

They won six games while losing three, and tying one. ln the Big 8 conference, rated by many as the toughest in Illinois prep football, the Warriors wound up in a tie for third place with a four and three record. In their first game of the season, the West squad met with a sur- prising Madison East team, and ended up with a 0-O tie. The second non-conference game proved an easier dish for the Willsonmen. when they came out on top of a 59-7 score. Soph halfback Joe Fasulo proved his worth in this game scoring 24 points. Their first conference victory in defense of their two year hold on the Big Eight title came hard to the West gridders, but they finally came through with a 15-12 win over East Aurora, the only loss inflicted on the future champs during the whole season. Soph Joe Fasulo again provided the scoring punch scoring both touchdowns and the extra point. The Warriors moved to LaSalle-Peru for their next conference game and outscored a strong Cava- lier outfit by a 15-7 margin. A 14-6 win over Freeport kept the winning streak intact. With this win, the Warriors had the distinction of being the first team to stop George Chiames, high scoring Pretzel fullback, without a score. Dick Conley and Martin johnson scored the West touch- downs. Joliet's Steelers, looking every bit like champions, stunned the Warrior gridders with a 13-O win, Wests first loss in three years of Big Eight competition. Although they seemed to overpower the Willsonmen all through the game, the Steelers failed to capitalize on their power superiority, counting their scores on a pass and a pass interception. The annual East-West tilt. heralded weeks before as the deciding game for the conference title, came as an anti-climax, both teams having lost the previous week. The Warriors took an early lead, 15-O, on scores by Joe Fasulo and Dick Conley, and an extra point by Sour Anderson. The East siders came back quickly, however, and in less than ten minutes had a 21-13 lead, which they held at halftime. West scored only once more, the speed of their cross-town rivals proving too much for them. the game ending in a 41-20 East Rock- ford victory. At Freeport, in a non-conference game, the Warriors took out all their pent-up anger on the Pretzels, beating them for the second time, 13-6. West Aurora's Hawks, in the conference cellar, but really not a last place team finished the Warrior home season by dropping a 19-12 decision to the Rockford squad. Bill Gustafson passed for one, and caught a pass for the other Hawk touchdown. Sour Anderson scored thirteen points for the Warriors, his biggest scoring spree of the year. At Elgin, the Warriors disheartened their supporters by dropping a 13-6 decision to the seventh place Maroons. Dick Conley tallied the final Warrior score of the season.

For the second consecutive year the West high Sophomore cagers captured the Big Eight frosh-soph crown. The Braves coached by Milo Willson, varsity coach of last year, turned in a record of 14 wins and five losses compared with 12 victories and a pair of defeats recorded by Coach Gene Rose's champions of a year ago. Losing their last game of the year to East high the Willsonmen lowered their previ- ously undefeated conference standing to seven victories against one defeat. A very smooth Soph team appeared the opening night of the cage season when they defeated Cherry Valley 34-7. The striplings continued the following week- end with a 39-25 victory over Harlem only to be turned back by a score of 30-23 on the Waukegan hardwood. Topping Elgin by a 33-28 count the sophs entered their conference play with a tough win to their credit. During the Christ- mas holidays the Braves dropped one of a three game series to Byron, 40-21 but recovered by taking wins over Oregon and Dixon by scores of 43-23 and 22-10, respectively. On following weekends three conference games were played, the Willsonmen adding to their Big Eight slate for a record of four wins. These victims included wins over-a tough East Aurora team, 34-28 at East Aurora, and a 33-28 victory over Freeport also played away from home. East Rockford was the third straight loser to the Willsonmen in a close battle, 36-32. Playing three non-conference contests the Sophs rolled over DeKalb and Durand, 32-22 and 53-31 respectively and continued a long winning streak with a 43-27 win over a highly-regarded Belvidere five. These games wound up the non-conference play leaving a record of nine wins and two losses for the season. Still maintaining an undefeated record in conference play the Sophs entered the final stages of their season. Their last four opponents included LaSalle-Peru, Joliet, Freeport, and East Rockford. The LaSalle-Peru cagers were downed by a 46-15 score while the Braves had difficulty in edging out a rugged Joliet quintet, 30-29 on the local court. In their second appear- ance against the Freeport Frosh-Soph team the Willsonmen showed plenty of power in winning, 50-39 but dropped their final appearance to East high's vastly improved Rab- lets, 53-35. Throughout the entire season the sharp-shooting Sophs piled up a total of 606 points as compared to 464 for their combined opponents. Averaging 35.6 points in every game the Sophs held their opponents to an average of 27.2 tallies per game, an excellent defensive record. Leading the Big Eight Frosh-Soph champions in the scoring column was forward Royal McMullen who piled up 84 points in eight conference games to lead the team with a'l0.5 average. Frank Fanara, McMullen's running mate at the forward position, was second with 64 points in. conference play with Ken johnson, honorary guard and captain, third with 45 points. Bob Mackie, center and rebounding specialist, poured in 37 points and jack Henessey, playing at guard, netted 29 tallies in conference play.

The West Varsity five showed very great promise as the season commenced. Coached by john Wyeth who took over the responsibility from Milo Willson, mentor of last season, the Warriors started the season with a brilliant, 45-40 victory over a strong Wisconsin team from Madison West as Dick Conley poured in 22 points. Following this initial win, the West team was stopped by a strong Waukegan aggregation, 46-21 on the Waukegan hardwood. Confer- ence play was commenced with the Warriors losing a heart- breaker, 31-30 on the Elgin court. Sour', Anderson led the scoring. Coach Wyeth's cagers dropped in on an ambush in their next contest losing to an underdog Oregon team, 38-36 although Dick Conley set 15 points through the nets. LaSalle-Peru set the Warriors down to their third straight defeat by a 46-29 count. Breaking the losing streak the Warriors edged out East Aurora, 32-27 and Freeport, 32-31 both on opposition courts. South Anderson led in the Aurora tilt with 13 points with Dick Conley leading the Warrior cause at Freeport with a total of 11 tallies. The first East-West intra-city contest played at West ended with the locals on a short end of a 40-33 score. Chub Keckler clicked for the first time as he tallied 11 points. Meeting West Aurora one week later the Warriors started a busy week winning 46-37 with a strong last half rally. Dale Wilt scored 20 points to lead the Warrior scoring. Four days later the Wyethmen won another close game, 31-28 on the DeKalb hardwood. The game was a play-off of one sched- uled earlier in the season. Stretching their winning streak to four straight the Warriors rolled over LaSalle-Peru, 42-34 and Belvidere, 40-31, the latter in a non-conference game. Joliet provided the West five with the next Big Eight com- petition as the Warriors continued their winning ways with a 29-27 win. Dale Wilt played superior ball and took scoring honors with 11 points. With still a mathematical chance of Big Eight conference honors the Warriors were beaten by a strong second-semester Freeport five, 43-37 at the local court in one of the most exciting games of the season. At the second East-West intra-city game played at East the Warriors were beaten for the second consecutive time, 39-28, although Sour Anderson poured ll points through the nets and played a very excellent floor game. Opening the regional tournament the Warrior squad rolled over a weak Harvard team and entered the semi-finals with a brilliant victory over a vastly improved Harlem team by a 20 point margin.

In their first meet of the year, a triangular affair at Janes- ville, the West team scored their highest team total of the year with a 7316 point total. After winning a quadrangular meet at the home stadium, the Beyermen became the new kings of the East high relays by beating both Sterling and Freeport.

Benny Abruzzo, Senior freestyler, was the standout performer of the team, constantly breaking and re-breaking the school records for his specialty, the 50 yard freestyle. Chuck Reitsch, only sure point-winner of the many Sophs on the squad, Bob Murray, jim Nel- son, and Bob Raney proved to be the back- bone of the team. This quartet teamed up to make one of the fastest relay teams in this section of the state. In the state meet, the Beyermen took fifth place. Benny Abruzzo in the 50 and the 200 yard sprint relay team placed third and second, and set new West ww. high records with :25.l and 1:42.4 times.

GAA GIRLS PERFECT SWIMMING STROKES On Monday night the girls who participate in swimming GAA, meet under the supervision and guidance of Miss Pierce. Not only do they learn synchronized swimming and many of the more difficult feats, but through careful instruction they develop their diving ability and perfect their different strokes.

This ability may result someday in the preservation of a life. Many of them will have been instilled with a greater sense of leadership, which in any sport is essential.

This year the club ac- tivities have stressed the necessity of understanding the French people, their language, and customs. For their club pin, the members have chosen the Heur de lis, symbolic tv. tam flower of France. Anyone who is studying French and en- joys conversing in that language may become a member of 15 this group called Entre Nous, which translated means Among Ourselves. Among the many and varied pro- grams during the year were musicales, plays, games, and songs presented by the members. Perhaps the most out- standing event of the year was the field trip to Madison, Wisconsin, where they saw the annual French play pre- sented by the faculty on the University of Wisconsin campus. The purpose of this group has been not only to improve their ability to converse in a foreign language, but also to understand better the people who speak that language. llflwu-MIIHIIIIILWIFHY-IIFHIIYIIIILYI QUlilUlU-lQjlliI1- IKIUIQIQ- IIIMUIDH-IQI Top row Cleft to rightb: Scott, Patrick, Lichtenwalner, Brown, Goodrich, Stokesberry, Brogunier, Nelson, Altenberg, Olsen. 1Middle rowj: Bufalo, Westland, Burris, Devine, Sedlack, Nyquist, Kline, Price, Miss Driebusch fadviserb.

Pan-American Sponsors Christmas Party for Small Mexican Children The Pan-American League is com- posed primarily of Spanish students although anyone interested in the South American countries and our relation- ships with them may join the organi- zation. The eighty students partici- pating in this year's programs enjoy Mir A Q many varied activities. Some of the most interesting programs included dancing by the club members and a talk given by Mr. Arthur Lundahl on his trip to Mexico. One of the most outstanding events of the year, the annual Christmas party, 132 was given for the smallest Mexican children of Rockford, and gifts were distributed to both the children and the members. The club emblem is round with an outline of the Americas in the center surrounded by links forming an endless chain representing the twenty-one American nations. In order to promote better citizens for tomorrow's world, the Pan-American League is endeavoring to better under- stand our neighbors to the South, through the study of their languages and customs. It is the club's belief that better friendship among the American countries will pro- mote a better and more permanent peace throughout the world. 1lVlT Ili' E-il1V-YIIKHIM ulliiiill- UIQZFl1UIilUlU'lilll'-QlKQSljil'l'jlU'L'l1Ul s f L 4 .,-..1....-mn-i Back row Qleft to rightjz Hocking, Hocker, Hickox, Blumenthal, Friday, Warshawsky, Dyson, Edwards, Lohman, Lee, Carlson, Waggoner, Andrews, Bunk.

At the regular meetings the club members discuss ways in which each student may help in the Red Cross work. Although the group has adopted no ofhcial emblem, the national symbol of the Red Cross stands for their work as well as that of the other members of the organization.

A Cappella Choir Performs at Several Cl1llI'Cl1CS, Participates in Activities ln every large school production the fifty members of the A Cappella Choir under the direction of Miss Hilda Humphreys have an important part. Consisting of students who not only love music, but are also able to sing independently, the club serves as a solo organization representing West -3f,,,ifsg.,- High at civic and church gatherings. Originally, the name of the organization meant in a church, and therefore selections written for use in the church services were performed. The more modern or- ganizations now include folk and secular songs. The clubis aim is to provide an opportunity to sing the best unaccom- panied choral literature. The annual fall and spring candle- light initiations, the mid-winter potluck, and the spring picnic are the most outstanding social activities of the year. The group also participates in the National Honor as- semblies, the Christmas programs, the May Festival, and the baccalaureate services. In order to promote better citizens for the world of more permanent peace, the members of the A Cappella Choir are learning to co-operate with their fellow students and to assume more responsibility in the organizations activities.

Modern Madrigal Singers Entertain Organizations with Varied Programs Serving as a specialized performing I XCXX group for advanced students in music, Q N the Modern Madrigal Singers are chosen because of their ability to sing iffkiifigsjff L, elf riwfi vt well independently, combined with a pleasing appearance and personality.

During the reign of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth, perhaps the most popular form of entertainment was the singing of difficult part-songs called madrigals. These ballads were sung for their beauty and entertainment and may be compared to our popular songs of today. From this origin the Modern Madrigals gained their name. The thirteen members of the club meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning before school with their director, Miss Hilda Humphreys. Each year an annual banquet is presented in the spring honoring the graduating seniors. In order to promote better citizens for the world of peace, the club has emphasized unswerving loyalty to the group and the necessity of sacrifice for the good of all. kE'lEEH2 EEF Top row Qleft to rightj: Stanley, Marchione, Welsby, Gallagher fsecretaryjg Oliver, Best, Johnson ivice-presidentjg Whitmer, Stokesberry, Vause ftreasurerjg Pearson, Arbisi, D'Antone, Best, McDonald. 4Middle fowl: Paris, Pro, Sorenson, Olsen, Nethery, Paulton, Skeyhan, Neal, Clouser, Mitchell, Champion, Krause, Young. 4Front rowj: Thomas, Wieland, Suter, Hamlin, Altenburg, McMillan, Carlson, Christensen, Walker, Youngquist QOwl reported, Vogeler, Nyquist, Gasbarra, Cassioppi, Puckett. Members of tl1e Chorus Take Part ill Christmas Assembly and May Festival Organized last year by Miss Hilda Humphreys, director of music, to pro- Jlffa a 4 vide a group for inexperienced singers 'X 0 A 1 A I, Op 126 0 Q and to serve as a training ground for some of the more advanced choral organizations sponsored by the school, ' the members of the West High mixed chorus meet three times a week, dur- ing the fourth hour. The boys meet on Monday, the girls on Tuesday, and the mixed groups on Wediuesday. No previous singing experience is neces- 2 sary. The members need only have the desire to sing and to learn to be a better singer. Members of the Chorus take part in the annual Christmas assembly and the May Fes- tival. Since the war has changed the type of music de- sired for groups of this kind, the music sung this year has been of a military and patriotic note. As is true of all of the other choral groups, good citizenship, personal responsi- bility, and respect for the rights of others, is an absolute requisite which tends to make members of the organization better citizens for tomorrows world of permanent peace. llIQUilQHAlli!il1i h lillJ!lll!lll M!l!IIJ. -Ulllflmllllillf IJU I I I 1 Top row Qleft to rightj: Reichenbach tOwl reporterjg Rutledge, Mershon Qpresidentjg Tanner, Ohlson, Skeyhan, Bynum, Krause. fMiddle rowbz Monks fvice-presidentjg Dickson, Demokeas, Girling, Erwin, Gladfelder, Clift, Kramer. fFront rowj: Johnson, Meyer, Day, Dunbar, Curboy, Lucido.

In order to become a member, the girls must have had experience in either junior or senior high school and possess the love of 15' D singing and the desire to learn more about music. Thirty- three girls took part in the club's activities which included the participation in the Christmas assembly and the May Festival. Other events to which the group contributed were the singing of carols at Christmas and the presentation of an operetta for the Curtain Club. The girls also aided in an exchange program with the foreign language department of Pan-American music and customs. By learning to work together in a group for the benefit of all, and with respect for authority, the Melody Club has endeavored to promote better citizenship for the peace-time world.

Orchestra Increases its M6HlhCl'Sl1lP5 Makes Several Public Presentations Organized by Mr. june Borner in l9l8 with ten violins, one clarinet, and one saxophone, the Rockford High school Concert Orchestra has steadily increased its membership. Since the formation of the West High School Orchestra, the active members have numbered in the eighties, and this year there are eighty-four. Established for the purpose of satisfying instrumentalists to really appreci- ate fine orchestral music, there is also the junior orchestra, which trains newer pupils for entrance into the concert -4 orchestra. Both clubs meet daily, and school credits are given their members. The groups, in addition to enjoying their active participation in the orchestra, derive two ele- ments from their training which will promote better citizen- ship in a future world-fair competition and discipline. Through challenging one anothers rights to first chairs in a particular section, a certain competitive spirit is shown, and new talents and abilities are discovered. Each member is expected to be present when the orchestra makes public appearances. At these times navy blue skirts or dark trous- ers are worn with white sweaters upon which is the or- chestras emblem.

Band Melllbers Play for Parades, Games, Assembliesg Present Annual Concert To further musical appreciation and to promote the love of good music throughout the school and community are the purposes of the West High School Concert Band under the direc- tion of Mr. George W. Trumbull. Founded in 1907 at Rockford Central U High School by Mr. john T. Haight, the organization was the first of its kind to appear in the United States. Today the group has grown to become one of the most outstanding of musical 156 organizations. In order to become a member of the group, a boy must possess both a love of fine music and the desire to play an instrument well. To uphold the organizations reputation and to fulfill the ideals of the club requires many hours of practice on the part of the boys and their director. During the school year the boys make an average of forty appearances including parades on Memorial Day, Armis- tice Day, and Navy Day, several school assemblies, besides attending all of the football and basketball games, and pre- senting the annual concert. The members also participate in many special activities. ill11lKIlVll1'lll1llllllIAllilll1'1illIil11 F lllliUIllliiilUlhlUlllllllU11U'lilUlUIQllIlUl Top row fleft to rightjz Wallingford, Fairhead, Smucker, Brady, Gridley, Poppen, Stewart, Olson, Young, Bonham, johnson, Bogen fpresidentb.

PRO OTES SCHOOL C PAIGNS Last year the Owl won International Honor Rating for the fourth consecutive year or ever since West High has been founded. Through its editorials and the presentation of the con- structive side of the news the Owl is a determin- ant factor toward the promotion of better citi- zens in a peaceful world. Each year publica- tion members who are outstanding in their work and who rank in the upper third of their class scholastically are nominated for membership into the Quill and Scroll, an international or- ganization.

Members of Library Board Extend Aid to the Student Body and Faculty Founded in 1921 by Miss Ruth f Lathrop at Rockford High School the Library Board is chiefly a service club extending assistance to the students and faculty of West High School. The thirty-one members of the club par- 7' Q ticipates in no regular meetings or ' activities, but each devotes one free hour a day for work in the library. Library helpers, whose work consists of checking books in and out of the library, returning used books to the shelves, 2 writing overdue slips, and delivering admits to the study halls, must maintain at least a C average in their school work. Miss Mary Davis, adviser, feels that the co-operation among the workers is beneficial to the promotion of better citizens in a peaceful world. Members of this service group receive a bronze pin, a silver pin, and a gold pin denoting one, two, and three years of service respectively. The emblem of the club consists of a large R representing Rockford, an open book symbolizing the library, and a small on the left leaf of the book representing West. lll1YQlulllY1lh-IQQKTII1-I YYIU Y 1lIlAl1lll1lllAl1llllhlkIlli- IUIUIK Kneeling fleft to righthr Seidelmann, Nelson, Sechler, Feder, Walker, Hocking. 'A Cheerleaders Practice Cheers, Make Feather Hats, Distribute Cheerbooks Although they are not organized as a regular club, the cheerleaders, under the direction of Miss Lena Scandroli, gather at various times before the games and before the season actually Q 9 begins to practice and perfect the one hundred cheers, both old and new. At present there are seven active members of the organization, Donna Walker, Marilyn Seidelmann, Carolyn Nelson, Lois Feder, Sam Gay- man, and Bob Sechler. In order to provide cheerleaders for the following year, students must enter the organization fi 9 as sophomores. This arrangement permits the new cheer- leaders to learn cheers and actions from the others. Before the East-West football game the cheerleaders aided in the making and distribution of sixteen hundred cheerbooks and fifteen hundred feather bands. Besides attending all of the out-of-town games, the cheerleaders must be at the Fifteenth Avenue Stadium forty-five minutes before the home games begin. Because the cheerleaders lead the student body with new cheers and help to develop a better school spirit, their organization aids in preparing them as leaders in the world of permanent peace. The fourth road to peace is bettering community life. Through combined and community effort a lasting peace may be perfected. Students of West High School who enjoy various extra-curricular activities in addition to their regular subjects work together in a united effort for the common good of all. Many of them have had honors bestowed upon them in recognition of their co-operation and leadership among their fellow students. Because they have taken advantage of the opportunities offered them, these students have obtained full value from their school careers with their entrance into those activities so important to school life. Through their community efforts, they are being well pre- pared for active work in their own community. Beginning their work at the sound of the 3:20 bell, these leaders are being trained right here at West High School to begin their work in tomorrow's world of universal peace. They are now learning to work together to produce a product that will bear fruit in the years to come, in the years when young leaders will be essential to the maintenance of an everlasting peace. Working, co-operating, leading, these students face the problems of the future with the conhdence that all nations will strive toward one common goal, that of perma- nent peace. As they tread the fourth road to peace, bettering community life, the students of West High seek to establish a lasting peace of brotherhood, co-operation, and unity. 164 ,gc g -F., ml L ' ' , ' -4 J '.

To arrange for these parties a faculty social committee consisting of Miss Whiting, chairman, Miss Sheetz, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Max, and Miss Ral- ston was appointed by Mr. Blue. This year the annual Board of Education dinner, a custom of the school since its opening, was held in the dining room of the home econ- omics apartment. Several members of the cooking classes were asked to serve. Pic- tured Cupper leftj they are Cleft to rightj Miss Ralston, Marilyn Seidelmann, Patricia Howard, Betty Kingsbury, Marie Boyer, Delores Barickman, Joanne Carlson, Joanne Cox, Catherine Foltz, Ruth Knodle, Joan Faulkner, Rosalie Sodaro, Phyllis Foster, Josephine Matranga.

To do this they meet with the principal and plan programs that they feel would be helpful to the group. Pic- tured Cupper rightj some of the members of the association are Cleft to rightp standing: Mrs. Van Duzer, Mrs. Herzog, Mrs. Paske, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Enderlee, Mrs. North, Mrs. Crowley, and Mr. Blue. Seated are Mrs. Camlin, Mrs. Gehring, Mrs. Schmeling, presi- dent, Mrs. Kratz, and Mrs. Brogunier. One of the many faculty parties was a picnic held at Sinnissippi Park last fall. Miss Ralston and Miss Whiting are seen Ccenter rightj serving coffee to Mrs. Shumway, Mr. Shum- way, Mr. Schade, and Mr. Whitenack. This year the West Educational Association holds its meeting in the Little Theater. Several speakers including faculty members appear before the group to discuss subjects of mu- tual interest to parents and teachers. Often, after the meetings a social hour is held in the cafeteria. Several members of the group are seen on one of these occasions, flower rightj. A few other members are shown below with Miss Putnam at the serving table. Among the parents at the table are Mrs. Westbrook, Mrs. Faith, Mrs. Herzog, and Mrs. Bennett. gdb. 16 iii I u ialliliini 11 QI111 A colorful event in the school year is the annual operetta presentation in the spring by members of the choral department. Un- der the direction of Miss Hilda Humphreys many of last years music students partici- pated in the 1944 production Joan of the Nancy Lee. The plot of the musical cen- tered mainly around the activities of a nine- teenth century nobleman who, when disap- pointed in love, turned to piracy. Shown Cupper leftj on the deck of the pirate ship are Georgia Retsinas and Evan Nepean who played the leading roles. In another scene from the operetta flower leftj are several members of the cast Qleft to rightj Ray Had- dad, Richard Mandell, Stuart McConkie, Kenneth Foht, John Hampshire, Dwight Kohlhurst, James Stover, and Jack Elston. One of the more recent additions to the list of musical organizations is the Pinafore Pals which was started by Miss Humphreys last year. The organization was built on a group of sophomores who had sung together in junior high school and wished to remain together at West. Below its members are pictured fleft to rightj Marilyn Johnson, at the piano, Darlene Russell, Joan Hotchkiss, Shirley Stutsman, Betty Dayton, Dorothy Schreiber, Marilyn Hadley, Shirley Schei- degger, and Barbara Hoey. l68 Qliiiiil lI1in1la7Il kink, , -axilw-11,1 111111-1- inininiliiil iauiinnu 11 - ll - - -1111111 1-Ili-QM-11117 --' A - - 4 - 1 V v1 1 -v ur v 1 1 1 1 23-1 H- A V One of the well-known but seldom fea- tured parts of the normal school day is the work of the office staff. In addition to their regular duties they help students find lost articles, issue bus permits, and do numerous other services that are usually taken for granted. The use of their records has been a great help to the Annual Staff in putting out this book. In the picture Cupper rightj Miss Denney, registrar, and Miss Lindstrom, book- keeper, are seen checking student program cards. Miss Vause, clerk, and Miss Phyllis Coleman, switchboard operator, are pictured Ccenter rightj doing some routine checking. Tuesday is always an important day at West as it is the official day for buying war stamps and bonds. This year the school awards a model airplane to the home room purchasing the largest amount in bonds and stamps for the week. Last year's home room award was Hitler's Goat and pictured Clower rightb are some members of home room 225 who received the goat the most times. CLeft to rightj they are Carol Hocking, Vincent Vi- tale, Herbert Pitschke, Tom Markuson, George Rich, and Jack Dannenberg.

Dur- ing the past year the principal activity of the 8-5-3 club has been to send Owls to service- men. Contributions received from students, parents, and friends furnish the paper and postage necessary to mail the papers. Four members of the club, Mary Lee Stewart, Mary Kiefer, Suzanne Swarts, and Ann Weingartner, are seen Cupper leftj prepar- ing Owls for mailing. Members of Miss Wl1iting's sociology classes had as one of its activities, the sending of Christmas gifts to Illinois Cottage, a home for children recu- perating from illness. Pictured flower lefty as they packed the gifts are Josephine Ma- tranga, Betty Cook, Wayne Lohman, Beverly Severson, and Art Van Laeke. This year, students of West High doubled their quota in the junior Red Cross drive. A Red Cross Council made up of representatives from clubs and other school organizations with Miss johnson as adviser has undertaken sev- eral important tasks. Many girls volunteered to pack high seas boxes for servicemen at Christmas time. Some of the girls shown below are Ginger Hogg, Audrey Geddes, Peggy Rathke, Bonnie llten, and Carol Geddes. WAR EFFORT AND PROGRAM Patterned after the national Town Meet- ing of the Air, the junior Town Meeting has been designed to give students an oppor- tunity to discuss topics of current interest. Each year under the auspices of Our Times a contest among all of the high schools in the country is held to choose four students to speak over the Town Meeting of the Air. This year the question discussed Does Youth Want Compulsory Military Train- ing?'l was broadcast by West over WROK. The questions importance had been stressed by themes on military training written in the English classes. Seen Cupper rightb are Mau- rice Nelson, engineer from WROK, and John Hampshire, Town Crier. Pictured fcen- ter rightb are Mr. Blue, Mr, Karl Williams, moderator, Hugh Bannen, Mr, Rose, and Lorene Perrett talking over plans for the program. In order to put on the Town Meet- ing assembly several faculty members as- sisted. Among those who participated in some way are pictured Clower rightj Mr. Blue, Miss Pearson, Miss Brown, Mr. Rose, Bob Screiber, Cwinning speakerh, James Davis, Cspeakerj, Hugh Bannen, Martha Hocking, Cspeakerl, Lorene Perrett, Mr. Williams, and Miss Ollman. Paul Berg, a finalist in last yearls national competition, was honored by the Town Meeting of the Air during its broadcast from Rockford last June. Paul is shown below as he ushered at the program. is l7l LE DERSHIP Although active leadership in school af- fairs is more exacting than mere participa- tion, it attracts more honors and awards Membership in societies and public recogni- tion are conferred upon those who show characteristics of leadership. Among these the National Honor Society stands out high- est as it is the goal of many students. Be- cause it is a nationally known organization, its regulations are more rigid than those of a smaller local group. In the picture Cupper leftj Mr. Blue is seen with Reverend W. Edward Stokesberry, Pastor of the First Pres- byterian Church, and some of the new mem- bers of the society. Another impressive in- duction ceremony is the one put on by the Hi-Y fellowship each year. The picture flower lefty shows Dudley johnson, Robert Lindstrom, Wallace Bogen, Myron Stanton, John Henriksen, Harlan Lillie, jack Bennett, Maurice Mutimer, and Edmund Porter ex- plaining the four cardinal points of the organization to the inductees. Near the time for graduation the office announces the upper ten girls and the upper ten boys scholasti- cally in the graduating class. Seen below last years upper ten girls are Cleft to rightj first row, Sally Hobart, Carol Lawrence, Marilyn Ross, Margaret Dickett, and Sylvia Douglas, second row: Barbara Alberts, Mari- lyn Hemenway, Margaret Lomas, and Mar- guerite Rasmussen. - V L A -I - W 1 - 1 I I Y-1 1- ll 1- I-A 1 fl - T - A Y - 1 - - I YA V-l '- 1l '- V-I - - 1 - 1 - W l 1 V l T I t l - !

Sighs and bursts of joy and enthusiasm break out among the some fifteen hundred students of West High. Anx- iously now they await the ring of the 3:20 bell so that they may receive an Annual. Some of these overjoyed students have spent many hours working industriously on the book. Others have given only a little time to publications work while still others have scarcely entered the publications room. However, for every pupil and faculty member this is a great event. Annual subscribers, of course, would not receive their Annuals today if it had not been for the enthusiastic coopera- tion and helpful advice of the art classes and their instructor, the principal of our school and his office associates, school organizations and their advisers, the commercial department, and the class counselors. Without reliable commercial concerns the publishing of an Annual would, without doubt, be practically im- possible. The staff greatly appreciates the splendid and prompt work of the Waldsmith Commercial Studios, Charles V. Weise photography department, Rockford Illustrating Company, Thrift-Remsen Print- ers, Rockford Typesetting Company, and David Molloy Cover Company. Then too, the advertising section of this book has been essential for financial support, and the staff wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to these business firms which aided in furnishing the necessary funds. Give your patron- age to these advertisers, their support helped make this Annual possible. Recommend them to your friends also. Through this excellent cooperation in previous years the former West High Annuals have been granted one first class rating, four first class ratings, two all American ratings, and one Medalist rating by National Scholastic Press Associations. Thus, the staff gratefully acknowledges the prompt and reliable services of the various persons, groups, and business companies which have made this 1945 Wfest High Publication. MR. C. P.

Many have remained in Rockford to contribute to the intellectual, spiritual and general cultural life ofthe community. Others have gone to states and countries near and far to distinguish themselves as well as the college and community which gave them their orientation, in widely varied business and professions. Rockford College attracts students from every state and from foreign lands because of its leadership in educational progress, its distinguished faculty, and its limited enrollment which makes for small, alert discussion groups and classes. It offers three de- grees, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Home Economies, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Courses are given which lead to state certification for teaching.

These young men are widely scattered, many on far-flung battle fronts. Yet no matter Where they are or what they are doing, they are all united in one cause -- that of winning a complete victory over the evil forces that oppose us. We are proud of each one of them, and until final victory is ours, we shall continue to Work, pray, and hope for their safe and speedy return. C. H. BLOOM, Mayor of Rockford.

For the program which consisted of the combined talent of the two clubs Louis St. Pierre acted as mas- ter of ceremonies. Music for the occasion was furnished by several members of the Hi-Y under the direction of Jerry Evans calling themselves the Hi-Y Fliersf' In the picture fupper leftj the members of the or- chestra are Cleft to rightj in the front row: Jerry Evans, Sam Miller, Angelo Spataro, Jack Kiester, and Alan Lindstromg in the back row Wallace Bogen, joe Acardo, La- Verne Allen, and jack Gennaro.

As the event was financed mainly by the treasuries of the clubs, only a small admission charge was made. 2 Besides proms, hops, and other more for- mal parties held at West High a new type of informal entertainment has been introduced called The School Door Canteen. Spon- sored by the Student Council, the Can- teens consisted of ping-pong, dancing, and soft drinks. While other students wait their turns, Lois Bendes is shown fupper rightb returning one of Earl Stringer's serves in a ping-pong game. The main feature of the Canteens'l was dancing in the cafeteria. Be- tween dances Carol Lawrence changes records on the nickelodeon Cmiddle rightb while Jack Gennaro, Louis St. Pierre, Virginia Quinlan, Philip Pete Hobart, Mary Kiefer, and Harlan Lillie look on. Last year the West High Athletic Association gave a ban- quet honoring the basketball team which competed in the state tournament. The prin- cipal speaker was Sgt. Art Passarella of Camp Grant, a former National League baseball umpire. Some players and guests who at- tended the dinner are seen flower rightj. During the evening many dancers stopped for the pause that refreshes. At the coke bar Cbelowj Stuart McConkie and Howard Lund are shown waiting on Bob Hough and Lois Feder. Charlotte Perry, Mary Alice Eastman, and Jordis Johnson are seen at the right talking over their drinks. 1i'Liiil D313 1:11 iU1l 1l1l1ni- 31:11 iixt iiii l1I1l 111l1ll -1-111l- lil1IT- iili il n -1 ln Bl xii AER I ni I I .-lu. v qv Graduation! The day to which Seniors looked forward since they first entered West High nnally came for the Class of '44. One of the greatest thrills of graduating is wear- ing the traditional caps and gowns. Seen fupper lefty leaving the school for the last time are Darlene Roberts, Louis Connell, Margurite Rasmussen, and Charles Kosman. A very important annual Senior activity en- joyed by all is the Senior Play. Presented in the spring, it climaxes the dramatic produc- tions for the year. Each year many students volunteer their time to produce it. An hi- larious Broadway comedy, The Man Who Came To Dinner, by Moss Hart and George Kaufman, was presented by the Class of '44, George Koberg, leading man, and Audrey Harrison are pictured Lbelowj in a scene from last years play. The plot centers around an aristocratic New York critic named Sher- idan Whiteside, who came to visit a small town family in Ohio and was detained for two weeks with a leg injury. The ensuing incidents make chaos in the family's affairs and practically turn their house into a hotel. CLower leftj In another scene from the play are Lois Bolender, jack Anderson, Rog Ten- ney, Norma Johnston, and Bob Bailey. ul -I I-I 1 KC1 11- 1 - - ' ' - -I - fu -In l i Il l 1 - Z1 i 1 l1 - I -n 11 iratiliiini ii it 1115 rnxu Lvii lAi1---A- l1---1l- -Tl11l11l- n-I - - -11 --In lm just about graduation time the Annuals are given out and the traditional signatures are solicited.

Last year Mr. Glen Batesole's graduating home room presented him a step ladder as an aid in painting his house. CPictured center right: are the members of his home room attired in their caps and gowns making the presenta- tion to Mr. Batesole. The most important event of the year for the Seniors is the annual Senior Prom which is held in the gymnasium a week before graduation. The Class of '44 had for the theme of its gala formal affair a summer evening dance. Shown chatting on the balcony stairs during an intermission at the dance flower rightb are Richard Wcnl- fram, Betty Shellenberger, Carol Lawrence, jack Anderson, Violet Mack, and LaVerne Allen.
