WESTERDAYS PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS of WEST SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PAWTUCKET o RHODE ISLAND Mr. Frank A. R. Allen, Superintendent of Schools of Pawtucket, has shown commendable ability in han- dling the many complex problems facing an adminis- trator of a school system in war time. To him the mem- bers of the class of 1943 respectfully dedicate this book. — 3 — Dear Class of 1943: I have served as your Principal for the past six years; three years in the Samuel Slater Junior High School and three years in the Pawtucket West Senior High School. We entered Slater together and after your graduation, we entered West together. During these years I have probably come to know you better, as a class, than any previous group in this city. During this time you have probably changed more than you will change during any other period of your life. It has been interesting to watch you grow in mind and body and to see your various talents develop. What a diversity of talent! What foresight our Creator displayed when he gave to each just the talent he needed to carry on the work of the world. Each should take pride in doing the work for which he is best suited in the best possible way. This will bring self respect to each of you. I shall rejoice at your success and sym- pathize with any failure. When you over- come difficulties I shall admire your per- severance. High aims may not always be attained, but they will raise you above today's level. When you graduate on May 27th, you will enter fields where 1 cannot follow, but I shall follow you in my thoughts for many years. In these days when war clouds hang over you, it is hard to keep your minds upon goals of personal ambition. You are thinking more about how we can help our country win this war for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to wor- ship God, than of personal glory. Many of your classmates are in the service of our country. Some of these are serving in army and navy training centres, to be ready at any moment to join others of you who are with the armed forces fight- ing on many fronts. These boys will not be with us at graduation. They will be constantly in our thoughts. A still larger number of you are working part time in defense industries doing your part to keep our soldiers and sailors on the firing line, taking the places of men who have gone to the front. You will find it difficult to leave remunerative positions to continue your education. There are others who believe that with more education they will be better able to serve their country. Some of this group en- tered college at the end of the first semister of their Senior year. They will return for the graduating exercises and receive their diplomas in person. Those who entered the Rhode Island State College in February will listen to the address to graduates by the President of their college, who in turn will see his students presented their high school diplomas. Some, who have not yet entered college, plan to enter in June or September, to continue their education until their coun- try needs them. Wherever you may be, I shall feel that you are serving in the field where you are needed most. I like to think of you as a patriotic group, placing your country first. Place character and loyalty above ambition. Always be kind to those over whom you have authority. Never be guilty of using your position to humiliate those you are supposed to lead. Be yourselves, and do not try to imitate others. Each has a dif- ferent personality, so make the most o! yours, which may be superior to the one you admire. May you all serve, but serve humbly. Never humiliate a person over whom you have authority. Give praise where praise is due. Practice the Golden Rule and keep your self respect and the respect of your associates. Hoping that your days at West may be stepping stones to a firm foundation in the future, my interest in you will continue and my help will be available. Your Principal, Chester M. Dascombe. John Percevecz Marian Lund Dorothy Daley Elmer Whetstone CLASS OFFICERS President—John Percevecz An able leader, a star football player, talented artist, and a diligent student is our Class President, John Percevecz. We know he will go far in the career of his choice. Vice-President—Marion Lund Marion Lund, our versatile and popular Vice-President, took a prominent part in al- most every school activity. Her ever pres- ent smile and her many unselfish qualities, have won her the honor of being our D. A. R. girl. Secretary—Dorothy Daley Our secretary, Dorothy Daley! A win- ning smile and a sparkling personality have won her a high place in the hearts of her classmates. May she have every success in her chosen work! Treasurer—Elmer Whetstone Well-liked both in and out of the class- room, our sunny-dispositioned, likeable Treasurer, Elmer Whetstone, has earned himself many warm friends during his years at West. Class Ode of 1943 At this hour of sweet remembrance We recall the days gone by. Days of love and tears and laughter, Many days spent at West High. Now we leave thee, Alma Mater, To go on to fields anew, May thy spirit ever guide us, Show us always what to do. God, we pray for Thine Assistance, May our prayers be not in vain. See, our road is edged with dangers, O God, grant peace may come again. But the future lies before us; Let us meet it without fear. Point the way to greater glory In a world of peace and cheer. — 5 — —Catherine Mitchell, 1943 CLASS BOOK BOARD FRONT ROW: Left to Right—D. Hiller, M. Lund, F. Sullivan, J. Rosenvick, R. Martin, K.

Shortages of critical war materials, especially in the lack of photographic film; loss of many of our male students to colleges and to the armed serv- ices; an early graduation; manpower shortages facing many of the features necessary in assembling this book. Through the co-operation of our prin- cipal, Mr. Dascombe, and under the capa- ble direction of our adviser, Mr. Robert L. Smith, of the faculty, and with the help of heads of the several departments in the school, we have tried to publish a book worthy of the best traditions at West High. Charles Curtis and Florence Sullivan have acted as editors-in-chief; Arthur Bus- sey and Marion Lund have filled the posi- tion of managing editors; Ida Jowett and Otilia Perry have served as business man- agers; John Percevecz and Frances Mori- arty have supervised the art editing. All other members of the staff have been willing and able to promote the cause of the classbook and have completed their assignments satisfactorily. Our particular thanks must go to Miss Casey, head of the secretarial department for her patience in helping our typists with their very important work; to Miss Maloney, head of the are department, for her help- ful suggestions; to Ray Houghton, a mem- ber of the Junior Class, for his very valu- able and timely assistance in photography; to Mr. Gregory, head of the English De- partment; and to the many teachers who co-operated with our work. We present this 1943 Classbook with the feeling that we have tried our best and with the hope that our efforts will be looked upon kindly by the graduates. 6 — Our teachers who have Charles Avedisian Edward Bentley Robert Blotcher Thomas J.

RHODE ISLAND HONOR SOCIETY It is with pride and satisfaction that the class of '43 adds another glory to the al- ready brilliant record of West High. Forty eight students of the senior class obtained an average of eighty-five per cent or better during their three years' stay at West. In recognition of their enviable achievements they have been awarded Rhode Island Honor society pins which were graciously donated by the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. These students have also had the ad- ditional honor of having their names in- scribed on the state's roll of honor pupils. We, the class of '43, are justly proud of the fact that although our class is smaller in number than any of the previous classes at West, we have had the distinction of contributing the greatest number of Rhode Island Honor Society members since West's inception. Jean G. Brannigan, '43 — 45 — STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council has had a war-consciencious outlook. This active group's major objective was to foster a patriotic spirit throughout the school. With the aid of their competent advisor, the coun- cil sponsored many interesting programs. Since the outbreak of the war, selling Bonds and Stamps has been the primary job of the club. Through the daily sale ol stamps, through a Pearl Harbor Day drive, and through a gala Bond Rally at which stamps served as admission, this fine group has brought West right to the top of the honor roll in the Schools at War Program. Drives for the collection of old keys, silk stockings, metal coat hangers, and books for servicemen proved to be highly suc- cessful. In November, the council dedicated to West's servicemen, a flag which had once flown over our National capitol, and a flag- staff bearing a bronze plaque. Another milestone in the work of the council was the celebration of Colors Day, a day on which blue and buff ribbons were sold to students and teachers. In the future, a reception, at which the Honor Society members and their parents will be guests, will be held. Plans are already made to present to the school a permanent honor roll and service flag in honor of those Westerners in the Armed forces. The Council has established a record which will be hard to beat. Under the di- rection of Miss McKitchen and the officers, President, John Nelson; Vice President, Bill Sims; Secretary, Ruth Tyrell; and Treasurer, Horace Megathlin, a very successful year has passed. Marion R. Lund, '43 — 46 — THE WESTERNER Owing to the lack of material, The Westerner was not published as often as desired this year; but when we did go to press, it was with up-to-the-minute news. The results of all class elections and the names of the members of the Rhode Island Honor Society and the Class Book Board first appeared in The Westerner. Since the number of editions which would be published was doubtful, subscriptions were offered only to alumnae. Among the accomplishments of this year's journalists was the compiling of the directory of former West High students serving in the armed forces. Cards were sent to the families of each former student asking for information regarding the where- abouts of their sons. The returns were very gratifying. Another highlight of the year was the poll taken by The Westerner of all stu- dents who worked and of those who were engaged directly in war industries. The re- sults of this poll showed the part West High students are playing in the war ef- fort. This year as in previous years, The Westerner Press Club sponsored The Westorama. As always, the students of West High showed their school spirit and made this affaffir a success, socially and financially. The executive board of The Westerner' was headed this year by Charles Curtis and Ruth Tyrrell, who served as Editors- in-Chief. The other members of this board included Florence Sullivan and Warren Lovell, news editors; Viola Spellman and Elden Gould, managing editors; Irene Ray- mond and Francis Cawley, feature editors; Ida Jowett and Julio Batista, business man- agers; Betty Taylor and Herbert Wax, cir- culation managers; Mary Layfield and Har- old Wolfson, advertising managers; Marion Lund and Albert Hartley, subscription man- agers; Helen Aspinwall and Henry Epstein, collection managers; Jean Brannigan and James Leahy, social managers; and Ruth Martin and Albert Hanson, sports reporters. Leading the Press Club were: President, Julia Healy; Vice-President, Dorothy Daley; Secretary, Wallace Crooks; and Treasurer, Alfred Brassard. The class of '43 leave, confident that the future journalists of West will go on to higher glories. Viola Spellman, '43 _ 48 — DRAMATIC SOCIETY Senior Members of the Dramatic Society Lights! Camera! Action! These were the watchwords of the West High Dramatic Society. Under the supervision of our dy- namic director, Miss Edith M. Hutton, three varied annual productions were presented. Lights! The Sophomores offered, The Calamity Kids the night of December 13. This performance lighted the way to box- office hits. Camera! The Juniors started rolling March 26, when the curtain went up on that memorable melodrama, Dirty Work at the Crossroads. This startling success proved a unique and satisfactory under- taking. Action! There was certainly plenty of this at Spring Dance held by the seniors May 25. In addition to these three exceptional performances, West went on location at North Providence High School on April 5. There they entered the State Dramatic Fes- tival with a particularly well suited one- act play entitled, “Tempted, Tried, and True. Sitting in the executive chairs were: President, Elizabeth Taylor; Vice-President, Rene Villeneuve; Secretary, Doris G. Wil- son; Treasurer, John Nelson; Luigina Cian- farani. Upon Nelson's entrance into Brown University, Miss Cianfarani succeeded him as Treasurer. We, the Class of 43, wish to all future comedians and tragedians the very best of luck, and may every West High School Dramatic Society win an Academy Award. Doris G. Wilson, '43 — 49 — PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB FRENCH CLUB — 50 — PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Photography Club, though not as large as that of the previous year, has held many interesting meetings. The meetings of this active group were held every first and third Wednesday of the month. The well-rounded program was carried out under the leadership of Mr. Phillips and the following officers: Irene Raymond, president; Fred Lawton, vice-president; Al- bert Dalton, secretary; Doris Tingley, treas- urer. Many pictures were taken, and en- larged by the members. This hobby proves an interesting and educating one. Mr. Wolfe, head of the chemistry de- partment at East High School, showed sev- eral colored slides that he took on a trip to the West Coast. Some of the highlights of the season were a trip to Dr. Van Dale's and Dr. Mat- thewson's offices, where the complex x-ray equipment was examined; and a visit to Brown, where Professor Miller exhibited a collection of photography. Look to the Photography Club for a lively program next year. Priscilla Bryant, '43 FRENCH CLUB Under the capable direction of Miss Bea- trice S. Demers the French Club spent a highly successful year. It was composed of twenty-five members who faithfully at- tended early morning meetings twice a month. At the beginning of the year we bought French song books for the club. Many in- teresting programs were presented with the help of these books, which also helped us all acquire that accent that Miss Demers dreams of. On December 18th after much discussion and preparation the annual Christmas party was given and pronounced a success de- spite the fact that it was merely an appe- tizer for a late breakfast. The following officers presided over the group: President, Henry Epstein; Vice-Presi- dent, Dorothy Hiller; Secretary, Kay Mit- chell; Treasurer, Marie O'Brien. Our greatest hope for future French Clubs is that Miss Demers shows as much patience in tolerating their antics as she did ours. Good luck! Jean Rosenvik, '43 — 51 — RADIO CLUB Under the capable leadership of Miss Henrietta Brazeau, the school's newest or- ganization, the Pawtucket West Radio Club, has, this year, directed its efforts towards bringing to the students an opportunity to reach a clearer understanding of the War- time problems. Broadcast weekly over Pawtucket Radio Station, WFCI, is one of the most important activities of the club-—The High School Ra- dio Workshop Programs.. The workshop, by presenting programs to the activities of the High School Radio Victory Corps, has not only stimulated the students' interest in ra- dio broadcasting, but has also kept them informed of the new War-time schedules at schools. Illustrating the school's contribu- tion to the war effort are such programs as, The Schools At War, Physical Education In War Time, The High School Libraries At War, Pre-Induction Courses In The Secondary Schools, and The Home Eco- nomics Victory Program. The Radio Club has endeavored to ac- quaint the students with the most significant and worth-while current programs. Towards this end, The Victory Log, which contains a listing fcf important War-time programs, has beeh distributed. The officers of the Radio Club for 1942- 1943 were as follows: President, Rene Ville- neuve; Vice-President, Jacqueline Blotcher; Secretary, Claire Papineau; Treasurer, Henry Epstein. The list of officers elected when the president and treasurer left West to attend college were as follows: President, Jac- queline Blotcher; Vice-President, Claire Papineau; Secretary, Frances Crescenzo; Treasurer, Alfred Brassard. THE Hi-Y CLUB The West Hi-Y Club, under the able guidance of Mr. Alec Weir and the officers, Charles Curtis, Albert Hartley, Warren Lovell, and James Crossley, has completed a fine year. The members took part in many lively discussions concerning the problems confronting youth today, and all obtained ideas for guiding their own lives in this war-torn age. That is the function of the Hi-Y—educating boys for the part they must play in the post-war world. Six mem- bers attended the 53rd Annual Older Boys Conference. All the Hi-Y activities are not on the serious side, however. A very successful New Year's' Eve dance was held at the Y. M. C. A. There was a fine attendance and all enjoyed themselves. Many swim- ming meets and basketball tournaments livened up our regular program. We feel that our Hi-Y, like others all over the country, is helping to prepare the youth of today to play a leading part in the world of tomorrow. Charles Curtis, '43 — 53 — DEBATING SOCIETY VISUAL EDUCATION CLUB — 54 — DEBATING SOCIETY West High has now completed another year of successful debating under the ex cellent coaching of Mr. Hunt and Mr. Coughlin. Before Mr. Hunt left for the Army, the group participated in two debates. The first was a P. T. A. panel discussion; the second was an interclass debate in which the seniors took top honors. In the near future, West will debate Durfee High of Fall River. The Seniors will oppose the Juniors on the question of suf- frage for 18 year olds. The officers who served during the year were: Harold Wolfson, President; Henry Epstein, Vice-President; Sally Ruyter, Sec- retary; and Phyllis Fine, Treasurer. Most prominent of its activities was the grand roller skating party of Bobby's. The club was lucky, indeed, to have two such patient coaches as Mr. Hunt and Mr. Coughlin. To next year's' club—all the suc- cess in the world! Ruth Martin VISUAL EDUCATION CLUB Under the guiding hand of Mr. Wilfred Berube, the Visual Education Club has completed an active year. The boys studied projection of Civilian Defense Council films at East one night a week, and have become the only high school group in the state al- lowed to show Civilian Defense movies. The chemistry, physics, biology, and his- tory courses at the school were greatly aided by the wide variety of instructive films shown by the V. E. C. Many assem- blies were brightened by interesting movies shown by the club. The V. E. C. is proud indeed to realize what a large part it is playing in the war effort here at West. The many films deal- ing with the various problems confronting us on the home front have kept the students informed with up-to-the-minute news on the latest defense equipment. Charles Curtis, '43 — 55 — During the 1942-43 school year, the senior high band, under the able direction of Mr. Robert Gray, entertained on many occasions. Even though several of its former members worked after school, and many joined the Armed Forces, the band had a regular strength of about forty members. Among the events at which our music-makers played were the flag- dedication exercises, the season's two most important football games, a Bond Concert in conjunction with East High, and several school assemblies. The various performances of the band have aroused a lively interest among Junior High Students with hopes of joining next year. We hope that in the future. West will always have as fine a band as that of '43. Marion Lund, '43 OUR BAND MALE CHORUS WESTEP.DAYS GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The West Senior High Girls' Glee Club has enjoyed a busy year. Under the di- rection of Miss Marian O Brien, over forty girls gave voice to song at meetings every Tuesday. In addition to these meetings, the Glee Club made many appearances. Sev- eral assemblies enjoyed the girls' songs. The club also accepted an invitation from Miss Henrietta Brazeau to sing on the Radio Workshop Program. Although a State Music Festival was not held this year because of transportation problems, a City Music Festival was held during National Music Week. This concert was held Sunday, May 2, at 3:00 p. m. ct the East High Auditorium. With the West Boys’ Glee and the East High Glee Clubs, our girls gave a splendid performance. The last scheduled Glee Club appear- ance for this year will be at the Gradu- ation Exercises. The officers for the year were as fol- lows: Frances Crescenzo, Business Manager, Ruth Iredale, Assistant Business Manager: Muriel Jacques, Secretary; Florence Barton, Assistant Secretary; Marie O'Brien, Head Librarian; Betty Halbritter, Evelyn Bacon, and Mary Chromes, Librarians; Gloria Brogi, Muriel Jacques, Florence Barton, Accompanists. The members of the Girls' Glee Club will not soon forget the pleasant meetings under Miss O'Brien's direction, nor will they forget the sweet songs and memories of these meetings. Kay Mitchell, '43 ORCHESTRA An interest and knowledge in the finer arts is acquired by the work of such or- ganizations as our school orchestra. Under the competent direction of Miss Marian O'Brien, our school musicians have brought to an end another successful year. Each Wednesday morning, twenty-seven members assemble for a regular rehearsal. The accomplished musician that we have all heard of, Julio Batista, was elected concert master of the orchestra, assisted by Fred Lawton, assistant concert master; David Brooks, head second violinist, and Fernando Diniz, assistant second violinist. The officers of the orchestra are: secretary, Otila Perry; assistant secretary, Gloria Brogi; head librarian, Raynor Harvey; first assistant, Muriel Jacques. The orchestra, this year, played its part in the presentation of the annual Christmas assembly. On May 2, a City Music Festival was presented at the East Senior High School auditorium, in which the combined orches- tras of East and West participated. The orchestra is now preparing for the graduation exercises. The departing mem- bers leave their best wishes for success in the future to Miss O Brien and to present and future orchestrites.'' Otila Perry, '43 — 58 — — 59 — VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM FOOTBALL John Percecez, Co.-Ccipt. The West High Rangers entered their second football season with a bang by holding the powerful Attleboro eleven to a 0-0 deadlock. Against tre highly-touted Manchester crew, the Rangers bowed 20-0. In the first home game against East Providence, West grabbed an early lead of 14 points, but the Red and White ' made a sparkling second-half comeback to gain a 14-14 tie. Lockwood was the first victim of the Blue and Buff to the tune of 20-0. In its second game at the stadium, West surprised the over-confident Cen- tral Falls, 20-6. Although West tried valiantly to stop the St. Raphael juggernaut, the State Champs finally downed the Rangers. 26-0. Against Woonsocket High, McKenna's 90 yard run for a touchdown helped to bring a 19-6 victory. The game with Pawtucket East had everyone at a fever pitch. West's speedy outfit led at the three-quarter mark 14-7. With a superb effort East came back to eke out a 14-14 tie. West concluded its season with a 12-0 triumph over Mt. St. Charles. The five senior players, Ralph Goodnow, Aldie Goyette, Gordon Mc- Kenzie, Co-Captains John McConnell and John Percevez, along with the sen- ior class, extend to West High's future teams sincere wishes for the best of luck in the years to come. — 61 Photo by Pawtucket Times VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM West High's fighting basketball team came through with many hard-earned vic- tories to gain a place in the interscholastic tournament held at the R. I. Auditorium. West opened its league schedule by trimming Mt. Pleasant 47-18 at Providence. In the first home game the Rangers rallied to beat Rogers 37-22. In the initial meeting of what promises to be a keen rivalry, West edged a fighting La Salle team 39-34. The Rangers next travelled to Newport, where they nipped the Crusaders of De La Salle 26-25. After trouncing Hope 44-20, the West- erners dropped two consecutive games 29- 28 and 48-36 to East Providence and East respectively. St. Raphael invaded the West gym for a non-league tilt only to emerge on the short end of a 30-17 score. This was the Rangers' second triumph over the Wal- cott Street boys, West having won the first game, 37-34, in an overtime period. In the second round West started by easily defeating Mt. Pleasant 45-29, and Rogers 39-28. La Salle and De La Salle again proved worthy opponents before bowing to the lads from West 43-21 and 42-38. Czar Morris' boys clinched a playoff- berth when they triumphed over Hope 43- 33. The next game was a thriller, as West avenged their earlier defeat by East Provi- dence 29-26, at home. The high flying Rangers then journeyed across the river in hopes of concluding their schedule with a win over East. However, the Redjackets were not to be denied, and the final score was West 31, East 36. They came back with a 40-35 win over East Providence in a consolation game as Capt. Art Bussey, A1 Hartley, and Aldie Goyette played their last game for West. The members of the '43 team wish to thank Coach Morris for his able leadership, and we feel sure that next year's team, under Co-Capts. Alexandre and Wilson, will recapture the State hoop title. Arthur Bussey, Capt. — 62 — THE SWIMMING TEAM The mermen of West have splashed their way through a very successful season. Al- though Dean alone fell victim to their ef- forts, each meet was marked by keen com- petition in every event. Hampered by the loss of several speedy swimmers to the armed forces, and lacking a coach for most of the time. West nevertheless made a fine showing. Much credit is due to Tom Me- Conaghy and to Wilson Farley for the time and effort they spent in coaching the or- phan team. The natators got off to a grand start by decisively dunking Dean. In their next meet they lost a close one to Moses Brown, which was undecided until the final relay. Against St. George's, the winner of the Brown Interscholastics, the Westerners did amazingly well, losing again in the relays. The team then dropped two hard-fought meets to East's well balanced aggregation. West lost its final meet to a vastly improved team at Dean Academy. Not a too inspiring record; but every swimmer did his best for the school, and what more can one ask? Just wait 'til next year! Those comprising the team were Charles Curtis, captain, Rolph Goodnow, Horace Megathlin, Warren Lovell, Raymond Me- Conaghy, George Hill, William Antonevich, Frank Pierce, Robert Vivian, Norman Schora, Henry Murphy, Robert Brown, and John Mills.

This club was originally found- ed in order to promote good sportsmanship, to build healthy bodies and minds, and to create a strong sense of leadership in the girls of Pawtucket's high schools. Meetings are held every other Tuesday morning before school in the gymnasium, where we are taught the rules and regula- tions of many sports. We learned how to set up athletic apparatus and how to stand out in and to lead large groups of people. Once a month, business meetings are held and presided over by the officers: President, Ruth Tyrrell; Vice-President, Marion Lund; Secretary, Dorothy Daley; Treasurer, Viola Spellman; and Historian, Gena Cianfarani. This year, the Program Committee planned many exciting activities for the en- joyment of the club members. A Thanks- giving Dance, held at the Oak Hill Tennis Club and attended by both past and pres- ent Leaders, was so successful that it will undoubtedly become an annual affair. An- other high-light among our social events was the trip to the R. I. Auditorium to see the beautiful Ice Follies of 1943. As we, the Senior Leaders graduate, we wish to extend the most sincere wishes and best of luck to the members we leave. May they have as much fun and success in their endeavors as we have had in ours, and may they keep the banner flying-- always. Olive T. Eldridge — 66 — GIRLS SWIMMING TEAM This year, owing to the lack of time, the West High Girls’ Swimming Team saw too little action. However, rigorous workouts were held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. At the end of several weeks of constant practice, three inter-class meets were planned. The Senior team proved to be the champions after winning two straight under the leadership of Ruth Tyrrell, Captain. Frances Marcil led the Juniors, while the Sophomores were piloted by Carolyn Lawton. Future teams will sorely miss such out- standing stars as Gloria Brogi on freestyle; Jean Brannigan, breastroke; and Ruth Storer, backstroke. To all future aqua-maids we leave this recipe: a good dose of continuous practice mixed with the sound advice of Miss Car- olyn Nachtrieb and Miss Marion Stallwood. After that, sit down to cool and then, turn on the heat to prove to one and all, that West's swimmers are always winners. Doris G. Wilson GIRLS BASKETBALL Basketball, the favorite sport of the girls at West High, has had a most successful season. Early in January, a notice was posted on the gym bulletin board an- nouncing basketball practice. The response to this call was most heartening to both Miss Nachtrieb and Miss Stallwood, as ap- proximately one hundred fifty girls signed up. The girls were all anxious to get going -—especially the Seniors, as it was the last opportunity to play for most of them. Miss Nachtrieb allotted three weeks' preliminary training before the real playing started. In these three weeks, the girls were drilled on basketball strategy. As soon as they had mastered these lessons, the girls chose teams and elected captains. Then the season really got un- derway! A tournament was held and all the teams competed for the championship title. The winning Senior team, “The Pepper- ettes, had an uphill battle on their hands all the way as the competition was very keen. Girls of the Leader Corps officiated at the games under the capable supervision of Miss Nachtrieb. If the Sophomores and Juniors of future years are still able to give the Seniors some good close battles, we have nothing to fear about the permanency of girls' bas- ketball at West High.

Whether you like it or not, it is a load off our minds. If there is anything in this book which gives offense to anyone, we asure you that the fault does not lie with the staff,—the staff lies. Some things may have crept in unbeknownst, but for this, the Board refuses to be held responsi- ble. One word more. We give fair no- tice that some of the original dope in this volume was swiped from some col- lege annual from somewhere,—even this write-up. Go to it, gentle reader—knock us hard. — 72— THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF COLONIAL DAUGHTERS This patriotic society sponsors yearly in our schools an essay contest open to all high school senior girls.
