'•H® - sms 3e§ T ‘ JV--1 Senior Class OF WEST Senior High School Pawtucket, Rhode Island DEDICATION Miss Elizabeth M. Kelly, head of the biology department of West High, has for three years given unsparingly of her time and effort in her difficult position as class advisor. As an acknowledgment of this work the members of the class of 1946 respectfully dedicate this book to her. Dear Class of 1946: It was in September, 1940, that the doors of this newly completed building were opened for the first time to receive Junior and Senior High School students. At that time many of you came to enter the seventh grade, and to remain for six years in this building. Although many other classes will follow in your footsteps, you led the way as you have done in many things. During these six years the United States entered World War II to fight for the ideals of Democracy and many young men who might have been graduating with former classes joined the Armed Forces instead. They were among the fighting men in all branches of the service and they helped to win the war and keep us a free people. We are grateful to these boys for the stand they took and are proud of the honors many of them won. We take even more pride in the ambition of these discharged veterans to finish high school and college courses in order to be better fitted to participate in the government of a free people. Because of the sacrifice they made you were permitted to remain in school even beyond your eighteenth birthday and graduate with your class. You have been able to concentrate on your studies and not be unsettled by the conflicting desires to do your patriotic duty by your country and to complete your education. You have honored our service men by the service flag and honor roll, which stand in our entrance hall. Beside some names are gold stars and those who made the supreme sacrifice were further honored by planting and dedicating to their memory beautiful evergreen trees on the upper terrace of our lawn last year. Those boys won the war and now it is your task to aid them and the rest of us to win the peace. Your first assignment will be to give up one year of your life to military training so that the rights and privileges of all Americans may be preserved. To win the peace and preserve it will be a harder task than the winning of the war. Another task will be to educate yourselves to look u[x n all men as brothers, whatever may be the color of their skin, their race or creed. You should be willing to concede them all the rights and privileges you enjoy. Do not set yourselves up to be a master race predestined to dominate all others. The last war proved that “pride goes before a fall.” I do not need to advise you to get all the education possible. After your year in the service continue your schooling if possible. The more education you have the better you will be able to serve your country. Some will not be able to continue school but will have to get their education the hard way, through experience. However, both groups will find that they will be able to serve their country and their fellow man. They will find that service brings a person more satisfaction and happiness than can be found in any other way. Be true to the teachings of your home, your church and your school. Always “to thine own self be true, . . . thou canst not then be false to any man.” Sincerely yours, Chestrr M. Dascombe, Principal. 4 In Loving Memory of The Late Lion. Thomas P. McCoy Mayor of Pawtucket One of the inspirational founders of our School 5 Editor of the Westerner, a star in sports, a friend to everyone, is our Class President, George “Pete” Tyrrell. With his pleasing personality he has won for himself a multitude of friends. ★ Sally Hoyle, our popular Vice President, will long be remembered by her classmates for her winning smile and friendly manner. Her leadership in everything she undertakes proves that she deserves her title of “Most Versatile. ★ Attractive, likeable Pauline Papineau, our Class Secretary, has earned the friendship and esteem of the graduates. We are sure that her pleasing disposition and spirit of helpfulness will carry her far. Richard Sprint hall, proficient actor and musician, has won the respect and admiration of the class of ’46 as Class Treasurer. His dependability and willing spirit will gain for him a high position in the future. 6 ° os ay K1!LAhh Wilder L -------- ass MUSIC By Eln � -l eih W H e ■W.ST •« , W '' = RaT :T T J AiiC «« H| � M ouq (JlCah - IH Ban ‘ cr , • $ w© Rious cat • OHb ouPr .

Several committees went straight to work in their assigned tasks. Some looked up quotations appropriate for the personalities of the different seniors. Some took care of the superlatives; others were working on the cartoons of the superlatives; and still others were hunting up advertisements in order to make financial ends meet. The board worked steadily right up until the first week in May, when the completed book was turned over to the printer. The guiding forces behind all of this work were Miss Mary McKeough and Mr. Thomas J. Hunt. To them the class of 1946 owes a debt of gratitude and appreciation. The members of the classbook board sincerely hope that you, the graduating class, will receive as much enjoyment from reading this book as we have in putting it together. Robert N.

I. Honor Society j Although the membership of the R. I. Honor Society of 1946 is not the largest in the history of West High School, still there is a gratifying number of students eligible to wear the blue and gold pin. At an assembly held on April 10, Miss Gabrielle M. Roy, Chairman of the R. I. Honor Society Committee, and Mrs. Lewis Emerson. President of the West-Sayles P. T. A., presented certificates and pins to the forty-three members of the society. Membership is awarded on the basis of scholastic standing throughout the high school course ‘ together with a spirit of service and of helpful leadership.” We, the class of '46, hope that future classes will prove themselves to be as worthy as those that have gone before.

This year saw the end of the sales of War Bonds and Stamps hut the continuance of the “Letters to Servicemen” project. The Council also continued the Sophomore Get-Acquainted Party, the Crowning of the May Queen, and the Reception for the members of the Rhode Island Honor Society as in previous years. With the close of the war the Council felt the need for a Memorial for our Westerners in Service more permanent than those which it had already erected. Many suggestions were offered for a memorial which would not only be lasting but also serviceable to the school. The suggestion for the installation of an electric organ in the Auditorium met with acclaim. The high cost of such a venture was an immediate drawback; but the member’s belief that it could be done never faltered. The ingenuity of the Student Council was taxed to the breaking point in its attempts to get money-raising ideas. The ideas, many of which were questioned, were successful and the final goal was reached. The result of our work, we feel, was certainly worth the effort; for the Memorial will be enjoyed for many years by future Westerners, and it will provide a lasting Memorial to our devoted Westerners in Service. The Council, along with its material accomplishments, will have much to look back upon in future years. These memories will undoubtedly provide us with a realization of the pleasures of our Student Council activities—pleasures which we may not appreciate now to the fullest. The Council 'Formal Dance and the numerous excursions by the Council will be the cause for much happy remembrance in the years to come. For all of this, we of the Council, and all the West classes, present and future, owe sincere gratitude to our Council advisor. Miss Mary J. McKitchen; for had it not been for her untiring efforts the Council might easily have failed to reach its goals. Eugene B.

Although not bothered by paper shortages and other technical difficulties, the staff did have trouble again finding a printer for the paper. This matter was successfully solved, and the WESTERNER continued its policy of “news while it is news.” Again this year, the daily papers were constantly scooped on news pertaining to West High. The WESTERNER Press Club sponsored many gala affairs this year, chief among these being the annual Westorama, and a new presentation, “Cupid’s Den. Another new innovation was the sending of a delegation to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference at Columbia University. In this contest the WESTERNER took a third place award. Leading the WESTERNER staff this year were Editors, George Tyrrell and Mary Kennedy; Managing Editors, Charles Flaxington and Sally Hoyle; News Editors, Alfred Hokenson and Barbara Rustigian; Feature Editors, Chester Fuller and Winona Barnum; Sports Editors, Chester Sim-ntonds and Alice Smales. Also on the staff were Robert MacMillan, Gloria I.aFrance, Ruth Cardin, James Garber, Ruth Taylor, Pauline Papineau, Neale Pierce, Constance Ravenes, Eugene Hayden, Edmund Casey, Paul Boghossian, Robert Stoecker, Joseph Young, Eileen MacDonald, ''and Roberta Conley.

The West Senior High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Robert Gray, is comprised of thirty-seven talented students. Being a well-balanced band, it is certainly a credit to our school. Working after school limits the time of our rehearsals, and it is a handicap to the outstanding ability of this organization. Despite this fact, it has become the best band in our school history. Another hindrance is the change of school schedule. Morning rehearsals drew a larger attendance because they did not interfere with part-time workers. It has been a privilege to serve our school, and we wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for the excellent direction and cfticient instruction. We hope to hear from many of the members who will continue in this field of opportunity, representing our school’s fine record.

The season opened with the election of officers. The slate was as follows: Eugene Hayden. President; Richard Sprinthall, Vice-President; Thelma Kay, Secretary; and Robert Stoecker, Treasurer. Plans were immediately begun for the Radio Club Dance. Following the dance was the Radio Club Skating Party at iBobby’s Rollawav. Both affairs were social and financial successes. On the educational side the students participated in the Radio Workshop, presenting “Let’s Visit Our Schools’' from the studio of WFCI. The student announcer took the listening audience on a tour of West High, pointing out the various school organizations with a little descriptive skit submitted by each club advisor. In the spring the West High group united with the pupils from East in a trip to Boston where they visited educational institutions and broadcasting studios. The next and most interesting work of the club was the preparation for the annual Radio Club Assembly. The script, written entirely by students, has proven to be a source of great enjoyment to audiences now as in the past. To the 1946-47 Radio Club we wish a prosperous year. We sincerely hope that the satisfaction and pleasure which we derived from this activity they will also find. To them we say, “Good luck and good broadcasting. 76 Thelma Kay, ’46 First Row: Left to Right—Walter Brown, Dorothy Anderson, Ann Gallagher, William Caldwell, Nelson Kay, William Campbell, David Thurrott, Douglas Nisbet, Dana Sibley, Antonio Marks Second Row: Left to Right—Doris Welsh, Dorothy Kacofka, Eileen McDonald, Sally Hoyle, David Butler, Neale Pierce, George Pappas, Philip Dargie, Gerald Burns, Edward Searlcs, Chester Simmons Third Row: Left to Right—Mr. Phillips, Roberta Conley, Patricia Farrell, Estelle Adamson, loan Knowles, Eileen Brodcur, Paul Boghossian, Duncan McCrac, Ernest Kirwin, Edward Jurgelon Fourth Row: Left to Right—Eugene Hayden, George Lampros, Lewis Emerson, Robert Stoeckcr, Charles Flaxington, Bernard Zisman, Joyce McAlister, Florence Reed, William Lawton, James Watt, George Tyrrell Photography C lub This year the members of the Photography Club enjoyed a beneficial and interesting program.

On W ednesday afternoons in Room 282 you can hear the future musicians of the Philharmonic Orchestra sweetly playing concertos and symphonies. Besides providing entertainment at assemblies. this musical organization also furnishes music for the Senior High School Graduation, Class Day Kxercises and one of the more special occasions, the Music Festival. For the past few years the combined Hast and West Orchestras have held a City Festival because of the lack of transportaiton. I his year, orchestras from every school in Rhode Island will participate in the State Festival, to be held at Hope High School.

Garland, again thrived. Until the school hours were changed, this group of thirty boys met for rehearsals from 8:15 A. M. to 9:15 A. M. but now the rehearsal period is from 2:00 P. M. to 2:30 P. M. We appeared on the program at West for such assemblies as Honors Day, April 10th, and Commencement Exercises, June 20th. One of the most outstanding events in which we participated was the Rhode Island High School Music Festival held at Hope High School, May 4th. We united with other High School male choruses singing spirituals, stein songs, and militant selections. Additional renditions were furnished by the mixed chorus of boys and girls. At the annual Stadium Exercises in honor of our late Mayor Thomas P. McCoy, the combined mixed choral units of East and West sang “The Bells of St. Mary's”, which was a favorite of Mayor McCoy. Wc wish, at this time, to thank Mr. Garland for his able direction, for his great patience, coupled with his undying flame of spirit and untiring efforts which made the Club what it is. West High School is indeed fortunate to have such a talented, able and enthusiastic musician. J.

Carolyn Holt, Janet Lipson ( lirls ( ilee C lut The Girls’ Glee Gub, under the able direction of Miss Marian O’Brien, has had a busy schedule for the past three years. All rehearsals except the first few of the season have been preparations for assemblies and other performances. Our first annual appearance was at the Pearl Harbor Day assembly: our second, at Christmas. Following these two. wc devoted our time to preparation for the Music Festival. For the past few years, city festivals have been substitutes for the pre-war State choruses. This year, however, peace-time conditions permit the presentation of a State Festival Chorus, in which the Glee Club participated. Other annual performances are at the Music Week assembly and at the graduation exercises. Very often, though, the Glee Club is asked to sing at events not held annually. This year we participated in the Radio Workshop program which featured West. Consequently, the Glee Club is always preparing for a performance. When one program is presented we must begin work on another. It is not work, however, in the sense of an unpleasant task which must be performed. To those who enjoy singing, each Friday afternoon rehearsal is an hour of pleasure, for a variety of songs provides a never-ending source of interest. Three years in the Girls’ Glee Club can hardly be considered wasted. On the contrary, they are years of experience, entertainment and enjoyment. Our officers this year are Stella Quatromani, Secretary: Ruth Euart, Assistant Secretary; and Betty Haley. Business Manager. As in the past, our officers have performed their duties smoothly and efficiently. We. too. have strived to uphold the standard of the Glee Club. Conscientious practice has enabled us to sing our best and win gratifying praise. The Westernaires, a small group of girls chosen from the Glee Club for their talent and faithfulness, have performed often on the same program as the Glee Gub and sometimes when a large group would be inconvenient. We who graduate this year wish to extend to Miss O’Brien and all future members of the Girls’ Glee Club our best wishes for continued success. Elizabeth W.

Two boys are selected to attend three consecutive weekly meetings for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the civic life of our community. At these meetings, they have entered into various discussions with the leading business men of Pawtucket. At the end of the third week the news boys that are to attend are introduced. This is known to the Rotarians as the changing of the guard,” By way of reciprocating the favors extended, several of the Junior Rotarians made a return visit to provide the after-dinner entertainment. This entertainment, a mock radio broadcast, was so successful that the same group was called upon to repeat the performance on two other occasions. The Junior Rotarians express their deep appreciation to Mr. Dascombe and the members of the Pawtucket Rotary Club for the privilege of attending these interesting meetings. May the future Junior Rotarians enjoy this same privilege as we of the class of ’46.

The debating society, after three long years of inactivity, came into prominence again this year under the leadership of Mr. (ieorge McCabe. Early in the year, the seniors and sophomores enjoyed debating the resolution, “Resolved: That the legal voting age be reduced to eighteen years of age,” in an absorbing inter-class debate. The challenge of congressional participation, however, did not go unheeded; members of the society won first honors at the Model Congress that was held at Rhode Island State College. Among the many high school delegates, those from West received noteworthy praise for their efforts. Back on the platform at West, the society together with the Parent Teachers Association presented a panel discussion entitled “Treasures in Youth.” The discussion was followed by an interesting open forum in which members of the student body directed questions to the platform. The society, however, was not entirely academic; roller skating at Bobby’s where many friendships were formed highlighted the social activities. Louis Emerson was president of the society; Bertram Wolfson, Vice-President; Alice Ruyter, Secretary; William Lawton, Treasurer. The society remains sincerely grateful to Mr. McCabe for his loyal service, for his ceaseless effort, and for his steadfast cooperation during the past year. Thank you.

As we look back on the previous years, we find that the V. E. C. has proved itself a prominent and successful organization. The meetings this year have been few and far between because of the shortage of films, a shortage traceable to the government's needs. Now that the war is over and films are again in the market, the V. E. C. should once more become a popular club. Mr. Berube, our dub advisor, has been very patient with us. in spite of the fact that films this year were old and easy to break. It is quite an undertaking to keep the films in condition to be used over and over again. Boys who join our organization next year are sure to find it interesting, and no doubt, some of the students will take up visual aid work as a career.

The hall was attractively decorated in a harvest setting: and the refreshments helped to carry out the theme. The bi-monthly meetings centered on the problems of the rehabilitation of France. Interesting articles from the French weekly newspaper. La Victoire, were read at each meeting; French folk songs were sung and games played. This association has adopted a new plan for electing officers. Elections are not held until the middle of the year. Thus, members are given an opportunity to choose the candidates most suitable for office. The slate for this year is as follows: President, Louise Dimlich: Vice-President, Mary Monedas: Secretary, Barbara Brannigan; Treasurer, Rita La Fontaine. With the exception of the annual dance, which opens the season, and the picnic, which closes it, the activities of the club this year have been restricted to scholastic matters. 85 —■-L— AIR-VIEW OF SCHOOJ ■ 87 lust Row: Left to Ri :lit—Harry Moorchousc, Antonio Marks, James Durkin, Harold Gronn, John Web’ Strand Row: Left to Right—Mgr.

Francis Healy, Coach Robert Morris Basketball West’s basketball forces bad a highly successful, yet disappointing, season this year. It was successful in that the record compiled by the team—18 wins against 4 losses—was rated among the best in the state. It was disappointing because of the fact that we failed to win the state championship after being acclaimed a leading title contender. Led by co-captains Francis Healy and Paul Boghossian, and capably directed by Mentor -Bob Morris, the hoopsters rolled through a tough league schedule, finishing in a tie for first place with P'ast High’s state champion Redjackets, each team winning lb and losing 2. In the championship playoffs, however, the Rangers were eliminated by a rejuvenated Rogers team, which we had beaten twice during the regular schedule. This year was the ixth successive season that West attained a spot in the tournament, a record unmatched by any other school in the state. The season opened with an exhibition tilt against previously undefeated St. Raphael Academy, with the Rangers coming out on top by a 31 to 23 score. I hat was the start of a five game winning streak a Central Palls, Central, Mt. Pleasant, and Hope fell before the powerful West aggregation. In the next game, a return match with St. Ray’s, the W esterners held the lead most of the game before losing 38 to 34. I hen came another winning streak, this time of six games, all league encounters, which enabled the Rangers to close the first round of league play with an unblemished record of nine wins and no defeats. During this string. Cranston, P'ast Providence, East, De LaSalle, LaSalle, and Rogers were all victims of the blue and huff. An inspired Central team was the first to topple est in league competition, grabbing an eight-point win. Mt. Pleasant. Hope, Cranston, and P'ast Providence were again unable to cope with the Westerners, hut P'ast, after trailing most of the game, took a 34 to 33 decision from the cowboy club, after the best of the “hands” had left the game with five fouls. The regular season closed with wins over I)e LaSalle, LaSalle, and Rogers, leaving East and West tied at the top. The last contest of the campaign came in the playoffs as a tremendous Ranger cheering section was unable to root West to victory over Rogers, and the Westerners were eliminated. The team was composed of seniors Healy, Bog-hossian, George Tyrrell, Albert Tefft and Harold Gronn; juniors, David Thurrott, Harry Moore-house, and Antonio Marks; and sophomores James Durkin and John Webb. To coach Morris we extend our sincere appreciation for his interest and patience, and wish him more success in years to come.

With many new faces in the lineup, the West squad, led by co-captains Stanley Santos and Paul Boghossian, presented a fast and hard fighting unit. Opening the season on September 21 at the stadium. West scored a 2-0 victory over a star-studded Aldrich eleven. The following week, the Rangers trounced North Providence 25-0. Then traveling to Hast Providence, West met with Class A competition, finally being subdued 12-0 for their first defeat. The Westerners met their second defeat at the hands of a powerful St. Raphael club 20-0. Central Falls, Woonsocket, and Mt. St. Charles were guests of Pawtucket in the next games and were subdued by scores of 26-0, 13-0, 14-0, respectively, as West hit its stride, again pointing for East. Saturday, ‘lucky’ November 10. saw the McGeough men in top form, smothering a hopeless Pawtucket East squad 32-6, with many subs playing in the second half. The final game of the season was one of the best exhibitions of alert football seen in many seasons. The Rangers, decided underdogs, and definitely handicapped by many injuries, rose to heights and lead the Rogers club 6-0 until the last four minutes. Then the Black and Red unleashed a furious attack at the Ranger forces which tired badly after playing the greatest game in West history. When the smoke of the mighty turmoil cleared. West had been defeated 14-7; but in defeat, gloriously won the acclaim of thousands for West Pawtucket High. Best of luck to Doug Nisbet, captain of the squad. May the team better our record, but, win or lose, may the fighting spirit typical of West teams, coached by Jim McGeough, live on.

MeGeough, Albert Ladd, Chester Simmons, Kenneth Murdoch, Norman McNeil, John Ricci, John Webb, James Durkin Varsity After a two year stay in the Class ,B division of the Rhode Island Interscholastic Baseball League, Pawtucket YY est was promoted to the Western Division of Class A along with St. Raphael for the 1946 campaign. The team this year was led by co-captains Francis Healv and Albert TefTt, and was again under the direction of Coach James P. MeGeough. The team was under serious handicaps from the very beginning, the deplorable conditions of El-gasco Field and the inclement weather of the first few weeks of practice slowed up the team considerably as shown by its feeble league start, a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Pawtucket East. The squad was a make-up of nine seniors and three sophomores; you will note that there was not a junior on the team, a very odd fact. Even at the initial baseball calls very few or none of the middle-classmen showed up for try-outs. The sophomores who were not awarded varsity positions will form the neucleus of a proposed Junior Varsity team, and will probably take over the nine vacated senior varsity uniforms next year. This year saw the need of five men to plug the quintet of vacant positions left by the graduating seniors of the class of ’45. Sophomore Jim Durkin and Senior Chet Simmons both played first base in practice but Durkin drew the nod in games. Norman McNeil, a sophomore, was awarded A1 Ladd’s second base slot while Ladd took over at short. George Tyrrell did some nifty fill-in work while Ladd was ill and also filled in creditably at other positions at other times in the season. A1 TefTt continued at third base for the third consecutive year and also did some masterful relief work on the mound. Sophomore Ken Murdock did the necessary replacement work at third while TefTt was pitching. The outfield was in need of three new men, and after some considerable juggling Coach MeGeough came out with the following threesome: John Ricci, Jake Santos, an infield and catch convert, and rangy Frank Parker, all seniors. The brunt of the pitching was borne by Francis Healy, i feared pitcher by all classes for several years, and he started where he left off in 1945 by gaining three quick exhibition victories over North Providence, Attleboro, and Moses Brown. His battery mate was smooth working, reliable Bill Hurst, who was working his third year with the pads and glove for the Ranger nine. All in all the team was well balanced in all departments, they took advantage of all situations and capitalized on them. The club was rated by several of the local reporters as the team to beat; this was true in many respects.

Although the club won but two meets out of seven, we of West have reason to be proud of them. In the opening meet, Brookline, with a well-polished team, nosed out the West mermen, who went into the contest with but a week of practice. After another two weeks of constant work, the Westerners met the highly touted St. George team, which later won the Brown Interscholastic meet, and the Saints nosed out the up-and-coming West aggregation by just eight points. The next meet, against Moses Brown, showed vast improvement in the team and they captured this contest by a 37-29 score. Although the Rangers failed to compile an impressive score in the first meet against East, the performance of sophomore Joe Michalczyk, who set a new pool record in the 2(X) yard freestyle, was one bright feature of the tilt. Dean Academy was an easy victory for the mermen who set a new pool record for the 160 yard freestyle relay during the course of the meet. Moses Brow.ii upset the Westerners in a return clash, and East managed to nip the Rangers in another closely contested meet. With Michalczyk and Hulme leading the way, West splashed into third place in both the Brown Interscholastics and the New England.

Though the track equipment has always been in the gym supply room, there has never been a coach to handle the team. Now that everything is under control, the tracksters seem on their way to many successful years. Elliot Crooks, a senior and Roland L’Hcureux, a junior, were elected the first track captains by a vote of the squad members at the onset of the season. In their first competition, the Fall Relay Carnival at LaSalle, the most the team gained was some very valuable experience. The shot-put team of Don Brown, Earle Makant, and Chet Simmons gained a third place to begin and end the scoring for the Rangers. The first bright spot of the season was Art (Jernt’s fine performance in the 1000 yard run against Hope and Central during the indoor track season. In their first competition, the Fall Relay Carnival Rangers were handed a 45-37 defeat by North Providence at Hope Field. Hal Gronn sparked the team with two firsts in the 1(M) and 220 yard events. Lawson Ainsworth and Don Brown each picked up five points in the weight events. In the Spring Relay Carnival at (Brown, the team picked up nine points and a fifth place position. Fine showings were made by all contending Rangers, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. We wish Mr. Fabricant and his teams of the future the best of luck.

When Miss Nachtrieb announced the beginning of the volleyball season, 168 girls rushed to the gym to form teams, choose names for their teams, and elect captains. The tournament games were played every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until The Rhubarbers III, a senior team, and the Rhubbiedoo Jrs.. a junior team, were to play for the volleyball championship. Much to the disappointment of the seniors, the juniors won the championship. The Junior team was once more victorious when they played the winning sophomore team. The winning teams for the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes were given the treat of competing with the winning teams at East High School. We arc proud to say that West High’s famous Rhubbiedoo Jrs. showed that they could come out on top at East as well as at West. A consolation that all volleyball players had. whether they were winners or losers, was that they played enjoyable, clean, fast games. We leave the coming Westerners with the hope that they have as much fun in volleyball as the class of ’4b.

They attend almost every game and can be seen in their abbreviated blue corduroy uniforms, twirling their team on to victory. This year, for the first time in the twirlers’ history, they have been provided with transportation to games at East Providence, Newport and other cities. When our own band was unable to make the trip, the opposing school’s band accom- modated us with a few tunes, displaying their school’s good sportsmanship. In completing our season of twirling, the twirlers will give their last performance at the annual June event at the Stadium. This will consist of a new routine and guiding the younger children to their places on the field. Closing this, I want to wish our able leader, Miss Evelyn Lynn, and her new, un-nanied assistant luck and success in the coming year.

Since the end of war, cheerleaders and the loyal followers of the football and basketball teams were provided with transportation to all away games. The greatest support given all year was at the Rogers-West game, when three buses followed the team to Newport in order to witness our thrilling victory of one point to win co-championship of the division league. The team went to the play-offs and so, of course, did we cheerleaders. What wonderful school spirit in that game! Although West lost out by a narrow margin, the loyal Westerners continued the fine support in cheering throughout the entire game. However, it wasn't all fun, since we had to practice after school. It wasn't hard pleasing the school when we presented a new cheer; for everyone supported the squad. Good luck to the cheerleaders of the future years, and may they have as much success as we had.

This club is composed of forty-eight girls who excel in both studies and sports. The girls are selected when they arc sophomores on a basis of scholastic standing, personality, and willingness to assume responsibility. The club is operated under the leadership of the following officers: President. Sally Hoyle; Secretary, Jackie Brassard: Treasurer, Thelma Kay; Historian, Jean McIntosh. During the meetings, which arc held twice a month, we first conduct the business affairs; then we learn to teach and to play basketball, volleyball, and badminton. The girls assist in the gym by leading and refereeing games. This year’s social events, arranged by the Pro- gram Committee under the direction of Thelma Jack, were both extensive and varied. Last autumn we conducted an impressive candle light initiation for the newly-electcd sophomore Leaders. Our first social get-together was a hay ride to Lincoln Woods, where we played games and held a frank-furt roast. Other activities of the club were the highly-successful semi-formal dance held in November and a trip to the Ice Follies of 1946. An account of Leaders is not complete without the mention of Miss Nachtrieb, who has directed the corps since its beginning in West High. We wish to exoress our sincere appreciation for all that she has done for us. To our club successors we extend our best wishes and the hope that they, too, will cherish Leaders as one of their fondest memories.

(firls Basketball As soon as the volleyball nets come down, basketball. the active after-school sport that is in great favor with the girls, begins. As usual, a large number of girls turned out for this sport, this year. 135. Teams were formed, and each chose its captain and co-captain, whose duty it is to assign places to he played by each girl and also to plan the tactics to he used in their games. Throughout all the games, members of the Girls’ Leaders Corps acted as referees, umpires, timers, and scorers. After much practice in our regular classes in the gymnasium and after school, the tournament started. Competition was keen and the games were thrilling. The two winning teams in the Senior-Junior League were the Rhubarbers, a Senior Team, and the Tarawas, a Junior Team. Since each team had won all of its games, they played each other in a final bout. It was very exciting, hut the Juniors came out as the victor by a 14-11 score. The Tarawas then had to play the Lapps, the winning team from the Sophomore-Ninth Grade League. Winning easily, the Juniors became the 1946 Basketball Champion Team, thereby closing the season for the best-loved of all the sports played at West High. 97 Thelma Jack, ’46 First Row: Left to Right—Constance Cullingworth, Irene Cassavant, Molly Koutras, Doris Welsh, Barbara lane Mills, Alice Smales, Mary Bumpus, Sally Hoyle, Catherine Harvey, Ruth Scott, Carolyn Bidwcll, Edith Whitehead, Phyllis Fletcher Second Row: Left to Right—Emily Bellows, Dorothy Anderson, Mildred Hunt, Jean McIntosh, Thelma Jack, Maddvn Moran, Ruth Cardin, Margaret Locklin, Dorothy Wood, Dorothy Phillips, Helen England, Barbara Roussin Swimming I earn Although this was the first Girls’ Varsity Swimming team since 1942, it had a fairly successful year under the coaching of Miss Carolyn L. Nach-trieb and Miss Evelyn Lynn. While the team scored only one victory, the old West fighting spirit was there all the way. The team opened the season by losing to Pembroke, a far superior club. The next meet, with East High, was a hard and well-fought battle in which the winner could not be determined until after the final event. However, West came out on the short end of a 34-32 score. With these two losses against them, West next went to East High, determined to win. This de- termination paid off as the West mermaids trounced their opponents 41-25. Although the record is not as good as could be hoped for, it must be remembered that it takes quite a while to build a strong swimming club. With many girls expected to return, next year’s team should prove to be more successful. Those who comprised the West squad this year were: Mary Bumpus, Captain; Dorothy Anderson, Emily •Bellows, Carolyn Bidwcll, Ruth Cardin. Irene Casavant, Molly Koutras, Jean McIntosh, Barbara Jane Mills, Barbara Roussin, Ruth Scott, Alice Smales, Doris Welsh, Edith Whitehead, and Dorothy Wood. 98 Mary Bumpus, ’4fi These pictures were taken on Arbor Day at the dedication oj trees jor our late President, Franklin D.
