He greatly desired a mouse, I, an idea. Neither ambition was gratified. -Amy Lowell And so it is that each year a bewildered editor seeks a Foreword or a Dedi- cation for his senior yearbook. Having pondered and thought, and thought and pondered, this one has decided to be entirely different and individual this year. Therefore, in view of the fact that other graduating classes have dedicated their books to the seniors, teachers, and numerous other celebrities, we, the gradu- ating class of 1937, asa lasting memorial of our presence in these renowned halls f just to be diiferentj, dedicate this book to West High School. -The Editor ' as O ,G ,ii .j june class N scholastic achievements, dramatics, athletics, clubs, music and High Times, the june class of about 250 members set the pace for their fellow Wfestians. After adjusting ourselves to Senior High surroundings, we immediately became interested in many and varied activities and began to pull together as a class unit. We chose for our first class president, Roger McKenna, who was also president of the German club, a state wide poetry reader, expert golfer, and Hi-Y president. Reginald Nelson had the honor of being elected to the presidency in both the junior and Senior years. Shirley Ann Blakely, winner of the Shaw Prize, was the first girl to take over the helm of the student council presidency. She was aided by Mary Jane Samp, vice-president. Sue Hadley, president of the Girls' Club, was efficiently assisted by Betty Lou Woollen, Ardis Bancroft, Gloria VVahl, Betty Blankinship, and Mary Charlotte Stoll, as Secretary, Treasurer, and committee chairmen respectively. Phillip Hendrickson, who sponsored the Ping Pong tourna- ment was president of the Dramatics club as well as the Nature club in his Senior year. Don Burrowbridge and Beverly Bliss shared the French club offices. Arvin Weinstein, a state wide poetry reader and winner of the Shaw Prize, shared the German club Vice-presidency with john Clark. David Perlman, Sergeant of the band, was the capable leader of the Music and Chemistry clubs. As seniors Kathleen Kennedy and Elizabeth Davis assumed the duties of managing the school paper as co-editors of the High- Times. lvan Lusk served as Feature editor, and many of the staff members were in this class group. Elizabeth also was the vice-president of the Girls' club in her Junior year. Ill the dramatics field we have many stars, some of whom sparkled in Seven Keys to Baldpate, I'll Leave It to You, A Kiss for Cinderella, The New Poor, and The Goose Hangs High. john Clark, Ardis Bancroft,, Hugh Rundell, Mary Charlotte Stoll, Marylin Sanders, Bob Little, Mary Jane Samp, Mary Frances O'Malley, Alphilda Brostrum, Roy Lange, jerome Coe, and Betty Blankinship played prominent roles. Many were the members of the make-up crew, prompters, and general stage hands that made these plays a success. Helen jane Dinsmore, Betty Lou Woollen, and Hugh Rundell, as well as the A Cappella supporting cast were notable choristers in both school programs and The Mikado and farther back Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance. Dick Garner, Roger Lescohier, and George Schafer, an accomplished arranger and composer, were only a few of the many members of our class who were outstanding in band and orchestra. We'll always remember Paul Murphy, Bill Marling, Don Pfahler, Bob Main, Eddie Agner, Bob Wirka, and Dick Dobson, our harrassed manager, who comprised that smoothly working outfit that shone in both the Big Eight basketball contests and the state meet. Bill Neff, Harold McMahon, and others will be remembered for their fine work in football in their senior year. Finally after three years of work sugar-coated with pleasure, june 18th, the day of days came, and Roger McKenna as Vale- dictorian, Sue Hadley as Salutatorian, and Jerome Coe as Class Orator delivered their splendid orations and we found ourselves graduated. Always we shall have many fond memories of West and from time to time come back to catch some of the youthful enthusiasm lingering there. page five Uk AGNER, Euxvmzn Going, yniiiy, gmzvg lint nu! foryufh'1i. lintcrcd from lidgewoocl as junior.

Nevertheless, we have accomp- lished much in the three years we have spent here. Music was the forte of our class-many of our number were in the band, orchestra, or A Cappella choir. You will remember Kathleen Campbell as a member of the double trio and as one of the Four Debsf' Bob VVoollen, who was class orator, will be remembered by many of you for his excellent interpretation of Ko-Ko in The Mikadou given last spring, and also the splendid performance he gave in A Kiss for Cinderella, and other dramatic productions presented this year. As lieutenant of the band, he also won first place with his clarinet in the 1936 State Music Tournament. Second only to music in the interest of our class was sports. Kenneth Kerst, who was also Valedictorian of the class, played right end in football for two years. Kenny was also one of the M Club members---he was the president in his last semester-who tried to sell you candy at basketball games. ln addition, Kenny was one of the best members of our track team-he shone especially in the 440 relay. ln tennis there were jimmy lioorman and Dorothy Brown who were both out- standing players. lntramural sports, too, were of interest to our class, and the boys of Session Room 118 had the touch foot- ball trophy during the six semesters they were in that room. Among the boys in- terested in sports were Bob Damon, Clar- ence Pharo, Dave Price, Nick Fontana, Harold Mickelson, Dave Holtman a.nd XVayne Butler. Then there is drama. Remember the ! military entrance that Alton Butts made as a heel-clicking Russian in The New Poor ? Ruth Biart and Don Stophlet were two loyal members of that little- praised group, the stage crew, who turned actors. Ruth played the daughter in The Goose Hangs High, and Don was in l'll Leave It to You. john Briggs was another important member of the crew-he held in turn, the posts of electrician and stage manager. Clubs are an important part of the life of every high school student, and many of the members of the class regu- larly attended one or more of the clubs. Elizabeth Norris, our small blonde Sa- lutatorian, was president of the Cinema Circle, vice-president of the French club, and program chairman of the Girls' club. She held each of these offices for one year. Versatile Ruth liiart, the class president, was treasurer of the Girls' club for a year. The Ushers' club claimed the interest and hard work of Bob Damon, and in the two semesters during which he was a faithful member, he was first secre- tary and then head usher. Pat XVelsch and Violet Sylvester were vice-president and secretary, respectively, of the Art Angle. Herbert Hull claimed the honor of being treasurer of the German club. In addition to their various other ac- tivities, Ruth Hiart, Betty Bennett, Ma- rie Becker, Pat Welscli, and Violet Syl- vester made many of the posters which brightened our halls. Betty Bennett will be remembered for her funny little men. Many of her comical cartoons will be found in this yearbook. So, in spite of our size, we have done much in and about our school, and all in all, the members of our class have a rec- ord of which they can well be proud. page twenty-eight f -th .fx X 1' ,tvs senior leaders Upper row, left to right: Mr. Ralph tihristofiferson, Assistant Prineipalg Mr. lra Fullerg Miss Mary iirace Powers: Mr. Volney G.

U the February graduating class, Miss Margaret O'Neil willingly gave aid when her advice was sought on pro- gram, banquet and commencementplans. Also the advisor of session room 118, she allowed the students to settle their home room problems for themselves. Disorder was never tolerated in home room or in class. Precise and expecting preciseness from her students, Miss U'Neil is recognized as an outstanding history teacher, and l1er students are sent out from her classes with a good background for college work. Gracious, friendly and understanding, her lrish sense of lnunor appears at un- expected moments. Never did a situaf tion in class or session room arise which was not adroitly handled by Miss O'Neil. ICR smiling countenance acknowl- edges the existence of a corre- spondingly jovial and friendly heart within-meaning Miss Harriet Krueger. To say that the smile is as large as her heart, however, would be a somewhat dubious compliment. ln this favorite of XVest High students, we find an ardent sports fan, an engaging talker, and a page twenty-nine square shooter. She is also known in school and outside as one of the city's exceptional bridge players. Miss Krueger is a math teacher in Room 213 and a very capable one too. She is endowed with the uncanny abil- ity to cause students to actually look for- ward to their geometry class! liven to- day there is many an alumnus of XXX-st High who has a soft spot in his heart for solid geometry tand still others with soft spots on their heads tooj. lt is to be contended that every hu- man being has certain definite faults. Possibly our powers of observation aren't as well developed as they might be, but so far, at any rate, we are at a loss to End a point which will nullify the belief that in VVest's Miss Krueger we have an exception to the rule. gg Ll. those things are true, but-. this is one of the phrases that is perhaps most characteristic of Miss Amanda Kluth, senior advisor to ses- sion room 102, teacher of linglish, and director of a seventh period study. llrim and neat, she is less formal and more hu- morous out of class. ls everyone up with the class ? is another of her well- known phrases, but a pupil's request to speak to someone during study periods seems to be a pet peeve which is usually met with a gentle but firm refusal on the assumption that the other pupil is study- ing. Kindly and helpful, Miss Kluth is always ready to advise and assist her students in any way. lf she has a winning smile, soft gray eyes, and gentle ways-that's Miss Mary Grace Powers, the capable head of XVest's large English department, who also teaches three English classes. Miss Powers takes great pride in her senior home room, of which she has been the advisor for three years. In home room contests she is much interested, and quite often, when the home room athletic teams have an exceptionaly good season, she treats the boys to a box of candy. One day when Miss Powers had left her home room, the pupils noticed some junior high pupils out on the lawn prac- ticing for a may-pole dance. So several of them left their seats and stood at the window watching the dance. When Miss Powers returned to the room she merely said, All I can say is I admire those who kept their seats. That one sentence struck home more than anything else would have done. Although she does it in a gentle way, Miss Powers knows what she wants done and sees that it is done, which is prob- ably the secret of her success. NE can tell by the maps on the walls in Room 104 that Miss Cornelia Karow is the German teacher at West. She is tall, attractive, and congenial, and is popular with her German students be- cause she doesn't give tests without warn- ing. Due to extensive travel in Europe, she entertains her classes with tales of her adventures abroad. Patient and un- derstanding, she cooperates with students who are in earnest. She abhors gum chewing and eating candy in home room period, during which time she demands absolute quiet for her own work and for the students studying. Miss Karow also insists upon prompt return of program sheets and report cards. Her chief desire seems to be to have a perfect session room tardy rec- ord. Pupils in her home room know well to take the seats assigned to them during aud programs, because she al- ways checks up on this point. OR the members of the largest ses- sion room in the building, 123, it is not hard to picture Mr. Ira Fuller pa- tiently waiting for the noisy bunch to be- come quiet and courteous. They know him well. They know that although at times he may frown and use the time worn phrase, Let's have it quiet, he is one of the most kind and accommodat- ing teachers at West. If they want program changes or any such oifice arrangements, Mr. Fuller is always ready and willing to help. They know that although his threats sound harsh, he gives his pupils a fair chance, even when it is a spit ball, and is reluct- ant to inliict the punishment. Yes, the head of the machine shop is a fair, square, and jolly good fellow. ITH a quiet and rather wistful smile, Miss Mabel White of 220 first greeted her incoming 10h session room. As best she could, she tried to make them comfortable and familiar with the strange, big place called Senior High, a pitiful group of green sophomores. Now every morning for three years she has attempted to quiet down to at least a gentle buzz these youngsters who have been rippin' through their high school life at top speed. With unraised voice this familiar phrase was so oft repeated: I'd like to read the notices. The head of our art department, Miss White, who so interestingly passes on her knowledge to her pupils, keeps our school aware of passing events by posters and various other methods. Besides this, she directs one of the cheeriest and most fun-loving groups of students in West, the art classes. And thus, with a rebuke to Ted Ring and jimmie Reese who insisted on playing ping-pong across the art tables, we say Adieu to the happiest days of our life Cas we are toldj and to a mighty Fine session room. LTHOUGH he is a staunch Pro- pressive, Mr. Frederick Schuler is considered one of the best by every- one that knows him. As the teacher of physics, he is known well for his writ- ten contributionsf' which, by the way, are the easiest in the school. He is the ad- visor of session room 228 and is one ad- visor who doesn't insist upon absolute quiet during activity periods, hence the title, the noisiest session room in the school. tcontinued on page 655 page thirty .4 EMEMBER the Epsilon Eta parties, the winter ones in the XVoman's Building, big barnlike hall? You could always tell the Seniors at a dance, so much more sure of them- selves than the Sophomores and juniors. Remember the Tri-Hi winter formals, at the Madison Club? There were always one or two boys that didn't wear tuxedoes and somehow they never looked very happy. Remember the Spring liormals at Maple liluff? For the first year white flannels were entirely tJ.li., but the last two years an ever increasing crop of white coats and suits made the white Hannel boys uncomfortable. It was always too crowded at the Tri-Hi formals, probably because all the girls who never went out any other time went to those parties. Then yon'd go outside and walk around the golf course. Remember how different it looked at night, beautiful with that long stretch of dark fairway reaching out to where two tall trees stood mys- teriously at attention? The music from the orchestra could be heard faintly in back of you and there never were so many stars, except one year when it rained. Your girls always wore two or three gardenias from Rentschlcrs', depending on the price that season. Remember how interesting you and she seemed to each other that year? Remember those school parties when the seniors might have been from another world than the Sophs? Miss VVilliams and Miss Metcalfe were faithful chaperons, and later Miss Fessen- den. The Floor shows always featured the same two adagio danc- ers as part of the entertainment. Remember way back in Junior high days when the Seniors seemed like grown men? VVhen Alex London played football for XVest, when he was eligibleg and how he used to ruin that line? Remember XVest's great basketball teams, especially that one with big Fitz and big Murph, and how big Fitz used to shoot with a. Hip of the wrist and sink 'em from the right corner? Coyne and Hammacher were the guards for that outht, the one that beat Beloit here 22 to 10, when they had the state championship outfit, XVatts, the two Swinehearts, Popeye, liarina, and those other boys I can see as clear as day but can't remember their names. Then remember jake Davis and Lefty Smith, guards, and pals extraordinary. The school heroes underwent a change every year. Billy McNeil played football with reckless ease when he was so near-sighted he couldn't see the side-lines. .lohn Rhun- dell developed into the surprise of the year. Next year when he became the star of the football squad his First tand lastj year out. Remember how Howdy Olson used to carry the ball with one hand and bring it around over his head as he hurdled the line? Remember Helstrom and Van Briggle. the school wits, with their adagio which Kerst and Clark later revised? Remember those couples: Curly Helstrom and Pick Davis, lirnie Davis and Marge Kennedy, Hill Marling and Key Kennedy, lietty Kirch and Herbie Hull? Remember the operettas? Pirates of Penzance was the first with Dave Reynolds, Don Pehlke, jean Shape, and Allan Hone hitting the high spots. Remember how a marble pillar wig- gled in that one? Then Dave Machtell came to school and Pina- fore, and Mikado music will always be remembered by those who heard him sing them? Remember singing in the chorus of those shows, with Curly Helstrom, lona Zink, George Rapp and Hugh Rundell? And the plays. Henry Lumpkin in The Rivals and Bar- page thirty-one bara Stophlet, who gave me many a heart throb in Come out of the Kitchen. Then VVest's best play, The Swan with Elizabeth Ann U'lXlalley with whom I fell in love from my seat under the balcony where I heard only every other word. The Ivory Door with Ernie Davis and Robert XVoollen. These pep meetings when the football heroes stuttered and stammered as they asked for the school's support in the game tonight. I'll never forget those wonderful colors in that and program in which the exhibition of polarized light was given, or that one in which the ditch water was enlarged until amoebae looked like giant nightmares. Remember the first girl you kissed, and the First cigarette you smoked, and how fast you thought you were? l can remem- ber asking Hob XVirka if he held her hand while they walked home. Remember toboganning at Blackhawk, and skating at Vilas Park? And all the intra-mural games of various kinds that were played? How ll8 always won the touch-football championship? Remember what a noise the band made in the gym during the basketball games? Remember Christy's Swedish wit, and the Hi-Y brown jug contests? Remember4yeah, let's remember those high school days, in caps and gowns, because we probably will never be quite as happy or quite as miserable, ever again. Gee, but we're old! -.llcuz .-llmut Srlmol off the thumbnail: Mr. XVebster land who are we to disagree?j defines Fea- ture as follows: lfirstly, the cast or contour of a human face: Secondly, a marked characteristic tending to be prominent or im- portant.

The best efforts of a most accomplished genius takes, even with great advances made in the field in the last several years, at least ten minutesg and even then if the best effect is to be secured, the finished product should be aged for several days, although not necessarily in wood, in order to obliterate the min- ute mistakes inherent in even the best work. If one wishes to join the ranks of the masters in this art, and the membership is increasing in this society, one of the first tasks assigned is to learn the three fundamental principles of the art. I will quote from the foreword of the text. 1. Match pencils. Be sure the pencil you use is of the same color and thinness as the one usually used by the copied person. An error in this can be fatal. 2. Don't always sign all the slips from the same teacher in the same spot and exactly the same style. Remember some study teachers have taken the game of slip forging seriously and are out for notches. Miss Fessenden is reported to have sixteen, and in only one year. 3. Never forge slips in a public place. It is a well known fact that teachers can either see around corners or something else just as effective. It will undoubtedly seem to some amateurs that the technique of the actual forging should be taken up in the three first points, however. more experienced artisans realize that the actual falsi- fication requires little skill, merely practice. It might be interest- ing to note at this point that some of our past slip scienists have, because of their perfection of the actual art of signing another's name, gained national reputations and, because of their success in the field, have been enabled to take up residence on the Hudson river in New York. fSome are in San Quentin too.j Once the beginning student has mastered the three primary steps, it is then time to go on to the more intricate parts of the profession. I would recommend that the student at this time become ap- prenticed to one of the eminent people in the field as much can be learned by observation. Of course the folly of annexing slips from a teacher who always used a stamp to sign her slips is self- evident. On a rare occasion, however, the tutor may become lax and let the stamp out of her sightg this is the time for the less experienced slipper to strike, inasmuch as no charge of forg- ing signatures can then be preferred against the craftsman. An- other obvious error is the use of special work slips from a teacher who is famous for not giving them to any one, even you. Not infrequently does the scientist lose the half of the spur- iously signed slip which was to be returned to the study teacher with bell written across the bottom in the supposed-signing teacher's handwriting. Vffhen the time comes when the study teacher says that it will be impossible for her to let you out on special work slips any longer unless you return the missing slip C which of course you don't havej, then comes the supreme trial for the master slipper. It is here that a real ability at the actual forging comes into its own, since now you must sign the teacher's name, that is, the one issuing the slip, the study teacher's name, which must be good enough to fool her, and the timeg then the slip must be aged properly, that is made to appear as old as the tcontinuel on page 671 page thirty-six fa rin' v .i five ff' 63,51 ,Y Z1--r ', 455 'TN ' fi 4 KE . ,Q 1, if 1 Q, w-ff: u.:':ia,1 ' ,.

Well, perhaps you don't, but you can c u be sure the members of the French club do. The Frenchies were headed by Miss Mildred Morgan, and they parlez'd their way through a grand year. The club is open to all students of French from the second year on, and it gives the members a chance to brush up on, and practice French pronunciation. Members also learn new and interesting facts about the country of France, its people and customs. The group studies and dramatizes French plays and sings French ballads and lullabies. Members also carry on correspondence with people in France. The German club is under the supervision of Miss Cornelia german Karow and is open to German students who are in second, third, or fourth year classes. The club speaks German and holds German spelling bees. They learn quaint German customs and study German politics, then discuss them. They have speakers on Germany and sing German songs. Every spring the French and German clubs have a joint picnic at which they com- pete in baseball for a club trophy. A few club members are fortunate enough to have cor- respondents across the waters. German skits are sometimes given, and prove very inter- esting. The smell of turpentine and oils, chalk dust and clay, the sight of art figures bending industriously over easels, the sound of scissors snipping through paper, of muffin tins clanking against tables, and you have a picture of almost any past meeting of the Art Angle. This colorful organization, directed by Miss Mabel White, gives the artistically in- clined student a chance to show his ability and to work out his ideas. As the year pro- gressed the members worked on various projects which were of greatest interest to them, choosing from murals, soap carving, clay modeling, and designing. o The Dramatics club, under the supervision of Mr. Ray Hol- dramatlcs combe, met in the auditorium during the first semester, but later moved to a new location behind the curtain marked Asbestos It was thought that the atmosphere back stage would be more suitable for a dramatic group. The club adopted a new system for giving each member an equal share of the work in the organization. The group was divided into individual committees, each committee hav- ing a definite part to perform for each play. A board of managers was chosen to check and assist the executive committee and to choose new members. page thirty-nine m vlull vamq-ra cvlmmisl ry ushers 1:1 M CLUB Ilwls lw-xx. Iclt tu light I.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Hippaka the aim of the club is to promote the fellowship of the boys, and to secure money to aid the injured athletes who are unsufficiently covered by insurance. ln order to earn this money, the boys sell candy at basketball games, and hold an an- nual party in the cafeteria. The members meet in the manual training department, and usually discuss the business in hand, or hear a speaker. With so many rabid camera fans running loose in the school, the demand camera for a Camera club became so insistent that finally Mr. Fred Schuler un- dertook to sponsor the group. He regretted it a few times from the noise that issued from 227 when the meetings were in session, but since they were held after school, that matter was not so important. During their meetings, new photographic developments, cameras, and pictures were discussed. The club took a few field trips to take photos, and held a photographic salon in the latter part of the winter. They gave away cash prizes for the best pictures which were judged by Frederick Kaesar. 0 The Chemistr club is a com arativel new rou at West ehemlstry High. In order to further theiir interei in chetiistrly the mem- bers give topics at their meetings which are held every other week. The Chemistry club sponsored the auditorium program at which Mr. Frederick Schuler gave a demon- stration on liquid air. He explained many interesting facts about liquid air to the student body and the program was heartily accepted throughout the school. The advisor of the Chemistry club is Mr. Richard Butler. In order to belong to this club a student must be taking chemistry or must have taken it. 9 The Ushers' club, under the direction of Miss Mary Grace Powers, ushers is the only self-supporting club in school. The members serve at all school functions and have assisted with other organizations. Their largest projects this year were ushering at the Teachers convention and at the West High Parent-Teacher carni- val. One of the main projects of the club is a scrap-book containing programs of events at which the club ushered and a list of the members who participated at each, which is kept by the secretary. While on duty the boys in the club wear their blue and gold uni- forms. They are NVest High's representatives at many events. page forty-one nature 3 I club hi-y club vinvma NATURE II:11'k 1'1111', Ivlt 111 11p4I11f If XXI11110, II II115111111I.

The Nature Study club under the direction of Miss Belle Green was very active during the past year. The club spent its time taking field trips to spots of natural interest, presenting speakers, and keeping the Regent Street show case filled with subjects of natural interest. The club held open discussions on these exhibits after each was finished. In March the club presented Mr. Linton, professor of anthropology at the University, who spoke to the senior high on the Development of Man. The club makes a study of flowers and their characteristics, native trees, and geo- logical formations in VVisconsin. ' The 3 F's in the club of the same name under Mr. Ralph Christofier- 3 f son, signify fin, fur, and feather. Their meetings are usually taken up by a speaker, who shares their interest in hunting a.nd fishing. Mr. Christofferson, himself spins yarns of his experiences, some of which everyone in school has heard either in the auditorium or in his classes. The club has seen quite a few movies on sub- jects such as northern Wisconsin and migration of ducks. They are unable to hold other meetings outdoors because of limited time, but they plan hikes, to learn many things not possible from the classroom alone. ' The West Hi-Y Club is affiliated with the Y.M.C.A.' Mr. Jerry hi--y Femal, their advisor, has worked with the boys on their various projects. The Hi-Y Club conducted the Ping-Pong tournament which was won by Frank Briggs. The iNest club won the city Little Brown jug contest. The boys participated in such events as a pie-eating contest, relay race, and high kicking. The boys honored their mothers at a Mother-Son banquet this spring. At their weekly meetings they have speak- ers who are noted men in Madison, or go down to the Y.M.C.A. for swimming and other indoor sports. The Cinema Circle, under the supervision of Miss jane Salter has made cinema strides toward true movie appreciation this past year. By arranging programs to illustrate specific phases of the film production world and the demands of the entertainment world, this club has been able to form opinions concerning the merits of a picture and its outstanding qualities. Some considerations have been: what makes a film good or bad, what are the modern tendencies of film production, what are the prob- lems facing the producers, and what are the coming movies and their good points? The club has sponsored the presentation of a movie and a speaker. page forty-three student council honor society aotivilfy high times STUDENT COUNCIL IIiu'Ix 1-lu, In-Il In light R IXUIUIINA, A XYcinNtn-Ill. ,I Xlulmlmlul, A llzuy, XY Alun-1.

II Sclnlllngm-1 w .1-.,, 1, , Heartening success has marked the projects of the West Student Council during the past year. Some of its accomplishments were the execution of pep meetings and several other auditorium programs, the Activity Pin award, the May party and mat dances, the new mega- phones for the cheerleaders, the class elections, the parliamentary practice group under Mr. Luberg, the home-room cup presentation, the book stickers, the Quiet campaign, and the cheerleader's class. The primary objects of the council havebeen to establish bet- ter cooperation between the faculty and student body, and to undertake any tasks which would aid in improving our school' and grounds. On january 21, the National Honor Society held its tenth induction ceremony. Twelve of the upper third of the 1lA, IZB, and 12A classes were awarded pins. At this ceremony the president, Ken- neth Kerst, gave the welcome address and Robert XVoollen introduced the new members. Mr. Barnes gave a short talk after which the old members of the society presented the pins to the new students. These were picked from the three classes on a basis of their scholastic achievement, service, leadership, and character, and were voted on by the mem- bers of the society and the faculty. , Activity pins were awarded on january 12 in the auditorium to the largest group ever to receive a school award. The pin was awarded to the eighteen recipients by Reverend E. B. Frye of the Methodist Church, who talked on The Value of Outside Activities in Broadening Education. To obtain this award, given every semester, a student must earn eighteen points prescribed by a student com- mittee. Points are given for every school activity in proportion to the position held in the club. The Activity Pin committee fixed the requirements for the pin and designated the number of points given for each activity. . One of the most prominent organizations is the High-Times staff, under the guidance of Miss Esther Taft. Every other week the staff puts out a six page newspaper chuck full of school news and features. In the latter part of November, a State press conference was held here at the Univer- sity. A group of the staff members attended and took part in discussion about ours and other newspapers. They also attended lectures on make-up, features, news stories, and all fields covering journalism. Later, in December, a representative group of three at- tended the National press convention at Detroit, and in May, four members represented West at Northwestern University, winning third in group contests. page forty-Eve a cappella O school is complete without musi- cal organizations. Here at VVest there is the Orchesra, the Band, and the A Cappella Choir. Some of the choir's duties are giving concerts and operettas, and providing entertainment for various banquets. The combined choirs of NVest, Cen- tral, and East gave the annual Christ- mas pageant at the capitol. At this time, the choir presented a Christmas program for an auditorium period. Later, on January 17, the choir and orchestra gave a joint concert, with Helen Jane Dinsmore, Mary Jane Samp, Carol Huebner, and Mrs. Charles Iltis as solo- ists. ln February a selection of 30 pupils from each school met before Mr. Max Krone, famed choir leader and composer from Northwestern University. They sight read a new number just off the press in addition to a few others. Later this choir made a recording of Emitte Spiritum Tuum, at radio station WHA. The choir was used in the production, A Kiss for Cinderella, as wooden soldiers entertaining the prince at his marriage to Cinderella, in another part as courtiers. Un April 16th the choir again met at XVHA and made a recording of The Music of Life, as a means of criticiz- ing their work. Choir members were able to purchase these records. The choir left for Vtfisconsin Dells on May 8 for the district music tournament where they took first division. There was no state tournament this year. As a climax of their seasonal activi- ties, the choir participated in the annual spring concert with the band and or- chestra. They sang two numbers at this concert which were very well received, The Echo Song by DiLasso and Song of the VVinds by Ernest F. Hawke. The choir sang in formal attire. At the solemn and impressive gradua- tion ceremony, the choir seniors sang their last concert with the group. The selections sung were Song of the XVinds by E. F. Hawke, and O Blest Are They. by Tschaikowski. Several students in the choir entered as soloists in the district music tourna- ment at the Dells. The results were as follows: First division-Helen Jane Dinsmore, soprano, singing A Pastor- ale by Careyg Helen Snell, contralto, singing None But the Lonely Heart by Tschaikowskyg Hugh Rundell, bari- tone, singing Caro Mio Ben by Gius- seppi Giordanig and Theodore McNelly, baritone, singing When I Think Upon the Maidens by Michael Head. Second division-Carol Huebner, soprano, sing- ing The Cuckoo by Grant-Schaefferg and Edith Hyatt, contralto, singing O Rest in the Lord by Mendelssohn. In the State Solo tournament, held in Madison June 5, vocal solos were like- wise well done. To enter the State tour- nament, the student must have placed first division in the district. Those sing- ing again placed as follows: First divi- sion--Helen Jane Dinsmore, Helen Snell, and Hugh Rundell. Second divi- sion-Theodore McNelly. A CAPPELLA CHOIR Back row, left to right-D.

The band received first division in marching, playing, and sight reading, and the orchestra in playing and sight read- ing. Twenty-eight soloists received first division awards as well. The long awaited band uniforms were purchased during the latter part of the First semester, and their first appearance was in a stirring concert on .Ianuary l0, the proceeds of which were used to help pay for them. The uniforms were of XYest Point style in blue and gray, with gold trimming and white belts. For the first part of the first semester the hand concentrated on marching only, and performed their difficult maneuv- ers at the football games. lt was then divided into two parts under student di- rectors, and one part or another played for all home basketball games and pep meetings. Another notable event was the concert for the .lunior High, and a group of thirty band l members played for the Civic production La Traviataf' For the second se- mester the hand con- centrated on their contest numbers un- til Nay 7. After the contest they played at the lYisconsin Me- morial Hospital and l md programs. and marched in the me- morial day parade. Mn. RICHARD CHURCH page forty-seven They played for class nights of both the February and june graduating classes. Several new systems were inaugurated in the hand during the course of the year besides that of dividing it into two parts to play at school functions. Officers were appointed to preside over certain sec- tions with Robert XYoollen as Lieutenant. The duties of the officers were to disci- pline and guide their sections both in marching and in playing. The Victor Rand Series was also introduced. This is a series of band practice books which be- gin with the junior High band and ad- vance through the various high school years to the Senior Concert band. The main appearances of the concert orchestra were to furnish music for the school productions The New Poor, The fioose Hangs High, A Kiss for Cinderella, and the Civic Treater pro- duction Rip Van XVinkle. A concert was given for the music ap- preciation classes of the public schools, besides the semi-annual first-semester and spring concerts with the choir. The orchestra made a recording of the stately l'omp and Circumstancef' which was used for the Parent Teachers As- sociation broadcasts. Fourteen select members also played for the state con- vention of school superintendents and the Mother and Daughter banquet. The orchestra played for the com- mencement ceremonies, both the Febru- ary and june graduating classes. Mr. Church figured that. together, the two organizations made about 40 appearances during the semester and nearly as many in the second, and established a fine rec- ord. tcontinued on page 673 dramatics lflz land of tihttter, flags, and tirease paint!

XX'hether these slips came in the ft rm of a misplaced coffee cup or a picture that was wired on, they were coped with in every case by superb ad filming. out of my ink bottle .vlmzv frisv exxtzy Ivy Vicki cooks h As the great poet of days gone by sat down before a sheet of blank paper, a well-sharpened pencil, or a newly opened bottle of ink, the sight of tools so fresh aroused in his bosom the dormant spark of creation. Such a source of inspira- tion has often been transferred in recent years to the typewriter, baring its gleam- ing keys in a frenzy of seductiveness. Yet the ink bottle remains forever sym- bolic of thought transposed to paper by the mind of man. Out of my Ink Bottle, represented by a pencil with a good soft lead, troop beings of a motley nature. Since what l am wont to call in my early youth, the lnk Bottle has been my companion. He has opened his heart to me time and again, and let me dip my questing linger within. Long ago we formed a partner- ship from which we shall never be dis- solved. IVhen first we met, my Ink Bottle and I, we formed together a group of-yes, poems. They have lain hidden in a dark closet ever since I learned to distinguish right from wrong. People began to ap- pear--children mostly. They were John and Jane-twins who lived in a badly spelled fairy tale. At a later date there was another multiple birth-and from the Bottle came the Spanish Twins. Marie, who lived in a covered wagon, Anne, who slept in a haunted house, Peter I.ee, who was Tom Sawyer all over again, and W'ang Lung Yen, a lVlanchu princess, were all conceived and given birth by the Bottle and me. lie sat idle for several years while I wrote alone geography lessons and themes of which he would have no part. The assigned effort had no appeal' to my partner. though he has since gained more of a taste for deadlines. With his half-hearted cooperation, newspaper stories rose to the surface, and scrambled out. Although neither of us entertained much respect for the prosy nature of these articles, we later found that there was another kind-the feature, wherein we could conceive page forty-nine . , , f . If x fl Q -I f - X -Q i 4 5 f 5 numerous characters and situations which approached the imaginative ideal to which we bowed. Out of my lnk Bottle have Come hours of happiness which no other force could hope to equal. There is a joy in solitude where one may furnish his own companions. Often they step down from the pages of books and, sitting at my side, seem nearer than any human com- panion I have known. But better still I love the varied characters who are mine, and mine alone. True, they are weak, and few, and often have little to say for themselves. Yet each is as much a part of me as is my very heart. Their faces appear before me as though I had seen them in the Hesh, and I know the inner workings of each one's mind. The Ink Bottle helps me through periods of bit- terness or disgust with self, and although what we produce together gives me lit- tle satisfaction as a rule, occasionally we evolve some other companion for my idle moments. Even though none of our collabora- tions come to an outstanclingly good end, I am sure that nothing will ever separate my Ink Bottle and me. Sept. Sept Sept. Sept. Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept Oct. Oct.

They ar- ranged and presented the A Lunch lianquct for the students who abided by the rule of an A lunch. The Science club has taken many trips and heard many speakers, have had ex- plained to them tnany things in the field of science. They have enjoyed cooperat- ing with their supervisor, Mr. l'at1l bl. t llson. Mrs. l'earl -Icsscll's Knitting tilub has instructed many girls interested in the art of knitting. ,lunior lligh girls have made sweaters, purses, scarves, sweater dresses and many other things. The Junior High band and orchestra have given many enjoyable programs in the and and for other schools in Madison. The Press Club under the supervision of Miss lfsther Taft has edited the High Times Junior every two weeks through- out the past year. The junior lligh staff is made up of the members of the Press Club. They wish to thank various stu- dents for their contributions. Two grand parties and the Mother and Daughter Banquet were given through the work of the Junior High Girls' Club under the direction of Miss lXluckenhirn. Thanks to Mr. Hawley and the 41. Club, several interesting programs have been presented. Their first one was given after they had been organized only a few weeks. The Stamp Club in which many stu- dents are interested was organized for the pleasure of those interested in saving and trading stamps. The Student Council acts as a govern- ing body for the junior lligh. They gave a tea dance for the seventh graders which was a huge success. blr. Trafford is their advisor. Miss Mabel llendrickson organized thc tihoric Verse group for pupils interested in reading poetry in unison.

Gay, R. Olson H McMahon, Coach XV, Jones. rm! raw P Murphy, R. Main, E. ner W Marling, R. lYirka, D. Pfahler West High's basketball ,9,6-,, bas- ketball team was perhaps the most suc- cessful in the school's history. Coach Willis jones' cagers not only took a tie for second place in the Big Eight con- ference but also went on to the semi- finals of the state tournament. Possibly the greatest single feat of the cagers was the 23 to 21 defeat of Be- loit's championship five on the West floor during the first semester. Beloit, returning with the same team of Gilmore, May, Salmons, Farina, and Polglaze, which was outstanding in the conference last year, was led by an aggressive West five until the last quarter, whe11 the Pur- ple and NVhite finally caught up with West and took a four point lead with two minutes of the game remaining. Then lVest rallied, and in the last two minutes not only made up the four poixit difference but went on to take the lead and the game. It was Madison East that prove'l to be the jinx for Coach jones' team this year. Coach Barrett's five succeeded in down- ing VVest twice, a feat that no other team had been able to do this year. Both games were by the margin of two points. Had it not been for these two defeats by East, VVest would have had a clear claim to the Big Eight cham- pionship, for Beloit was the only other team to beat lVest. All of the lVest basketball regulars and most of the substitutes were gradu- ating seniors. Paul Murphy, Bill Marl- ing, Bob Main, Don Pfahler, Bob Wirka, and Ed Agner all are graduating this june. The city series basketball title ended in a tie between East, Central, and West with two victories and two defeats apiece. Central defeated East twice, West de- feated Central twice, and East defeated West twice. West also beat Central in the district basketball tournament, but this victory did not count in the official city series standings. West got into the state tournament by defeating Central. West High was host to the district tournament, the first ever put on by this school. Elkhart Lake won the Class C title here. South Milwaukee won Class B, and, of course, West won in Class A. f VVest started out well in the state tournament by beating Milwaukee Shore- wood thoroughly, but in the second game, which was in the semi-finals of the tour- nament, West was nosed out by a fight- ing Rhinelander outfit. Rhinelander went on to the finals, but lost the state cham- pionship to Beloit High. The basketball team was hurt consid- erably for a time during the first semes- ter when Bill Marling, then regular cen- ter, broke a bone in his arm and was forced out of play for several weeks. However, Don Pfahler stepped into Mar- ling's shoes and did so well, especially against Beloit, that when Marling re- turned to service Pfahler still played the majority of the time. Among other injuries of a slighter na- ture, Lenny Ellis, substitute center, suf- fered a recurrence of an old football in- jury which put him out of uniform from the first semester until the state tourna- ment. Ellis has a floating cartilege in his knee.

McNeil, Incorporated page fifty-four minor sports Coach Harold Leahy's 1937 track squad experienced a fairly successful season, winning third place in the Big Eight meet held at Janesville on Satur- day, May 22. Under the leadership of Loren Smith, senior letterman, the track squad opened its season in a triangular meet with Oak Park and Rockford. In this event, which was run off at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin field house, Feb. 27, West finished third with a total score of 9M points. Oak Park, the victor, amassed a total of 915 points. After practicing with a West alumni squad, which was nosed out 35 to 34, the West Tracksters entered an indoor meet at the U. W. Field House with East and West of Green Bay, and East and Central of Madison. As in their first meet, West didn't show so well' and finished fifth. On the next two weeks respectively, West won two first places, playing Central at Camp Randall on April 24, and East on April 30. On May 8, the squad trav- eled to Janesville to gain a second place. In the city meet on May 14, West came in second with East winning. On May 29, West entered the State meet at Camp Randall stadium, and finished 10th with a total of 7M points. West tracksters turning in the best performance in the state meet were Merritt and Pfahler. Merritt placed third in the 100 yd. dash and tied for fourth in the 220. Pfahler gained a third place in the discus event. Dave Merritt, star dash man, was elected captain of the 1938 squad. Mer- ritt has been one of the few consistent scorers on the squad and has won two major letters in the sport. Al Pfahler, giant red haired junior will also return for the 1938 squad. Pfahler is prom- inent in the weight events. There will also be many sophomores returning, who have been working out with the squad during the past season. Tennis in 1937 was under the leader- ship of George Steiner, instructor in the commercial department. The squad was formerly directed by Paul J. Olson, science teacher in the junior high. As has been in the past few years, West again dominated the city tennis in the high schools, defeating both Central and Wis- consin High, and tying with East. Both page .fifty-Eve leading singles competitors were newcom- ers to West this year. One of them, John Hulten, was declared ineligible after the season had started. The other, Bob Rumsey who moved to Madison from Duluth, Minnesota, last summer, was quite a consistent performer, win- ning all but two of his matches. At the time that this writeup goes to press, the final meet of the season, the city meet, has not been run off. However by their previous performance against the other high schools individually, the West net- men ought to finish well towards the front. The leading West doubles team was composed of Jerome Coe and Rolf Olson, another newcomer to West. West racquet men opened the season on April 27, against Madison East, whom they tied at 3 sets each. West's next en- counter was with Wisconsin High, down- ing the Wis. Preps 6-0. On May 13 West again tied East at 3-3. Neenah was the site of the State meet which was played off on May 21 and 22. However, West entrants, Rumsey and Wehrman in the singles, and Olsen-Sumner in the doubles, were finished with competition on May 21, since they were all eliminated in their first matches. Manitowoc caused Rumsey's defeat while Wauwatosa was Wehrman's downfall. The doubles team was defeated by a team from Richland Center. On May 29, the Big 8 tournament was held at the West courts. Wehrman was eliminated in the first round while Rumsey lost in the second round to Bert Eisenhut of Racine Horlick who won the singles championship. Coe-Olson won their first match, lost their second, and won their third, played with Beloit, Janesville, and Racine Park respectively. Janesville won the meet with a second in both singles and doubles. Golf, as usual, was very strong at Madison West in 1937. Led by Roger McKenna, who turned in consistently low cards, the West golfers copped their fourth consecutive Big 8 championship with total of 256 strokes for the entire team. Racine Horlick was runner up with 261 strokes. This tournament was held at Beloit on May 22. The following Ccontinued on page 675 Compliments ol l-lOlVllvlEL BROS.

CAUGHT Coach Femal in his office at noon just in the nick of time to ask him for some statements about the West teams. He had this to say about the football squad: They were a good bunch to work with and had good team spirit. When I asked him about the truth of the statement that West Junior High had the best team at the close of the sea- son, he said that that was the opinion of the other coaches. I then ventured to ask a few questions about the basketball squad. He said: We had few if any 'naturals' on the squad. The reason we were able to hold the score close on some games was through hard work. These are the records for each team for the past year: WNON LOST TIED Football 1 2 1 Basketball 1 7 0 page fifty-six E. W.

As neither Racine out- 'nt was particularly outstanding, West was forced to play as tough a schedule as any team in the conference. Mean- while, Madison East avoided playing Be- loit's championship team and Kenosha, an outfit which started poorly but was improving steadily as the season went along. That VVest should tie with East for second in the Big Eight behind Be- loit, is really of great credit to Coach jones and the team, due to the tough schedule.

Sobs for the end of the five day week, of the seven hour day, and the thirty-eight week year. For in the Spring a young thing's mind turns towards graduation andihis fancy to not graduating. It may seem paradoxical that for twelve years the dignified seniors have scorned the gentleman who invented school, now at the end of the twelvth year they have become such firm friends with the old fellow that they hate to break the strings that tie them together. Then again, however, perhaps the tie is the teachers. Perhaps the students have become so enamored of their vibrant per- sonalities that parting becomes a sad task. Yes, that must be the reason. For it couldn't be the Epsilon Eta parties, the Tri-Hi affairs, or even the school parties which have exerted a strong hold on the departing adventurers. It isn't most ab- solutely the thought of senior boys leav- ing junior girls and boys that makes peo- ple hate the thought. Of course not, for whoever would dream that the spring formals at Maple Bluiif Country club with all their glamour, soft lights, beau- tiful lawns, and exquisite music, attend- ed by spring-formal clothed junior and senior couples could make a person want more. The reason for sadness at parting most definitely isn't that there is a cer- tain glamour about these parties, high school friendships, and just being youngg but that the seniors have become old enough to realize it can never be recap- tured. For there seems to be a certain care- free lack of responsibility that attends our high school career that never again will come. There may be finer parties and more people in the University, but they will never give the same pleasure that comes in high school. So the mystery why seniors weep is no longer a mystery.

This excretion -wet, warm, and often winning, par- ticularly in encounters between the sexes fair and strong tif you can differentiatej is commonly known as tears. Tears visit all men, women, and babes alike. From many causes do they spring mostly from beneath the human eyelid, to course clown the human cheek, wrink- led with age, flabby with care, or smooth with youth or vanishing creams. True tears of grief we first consider, although there are probably more shed from other causes. Tears attendant upon bereavement or disappointment fit into the first classifica- tion, and are less often seen.

When the slips have become thoroughly mixed with the water and dirt put them in your pocket or purse and carry them around for a time, depending on how old you wish them to appearj, the slips are ready for the presentation. While your work may be mechanically perfect, if you present a scared and timid appearance, you are much more likely to be apprehended than if you are, or seem to be, sure of your- self. Remember, always be insulted if the jailer as much as hints that the art is in any way suspected. If you can say it with sufficient grandeur, it would be wise to swell up and say solidly Do you by any chance doubt my integrity P If this fails to stem the tide, you are doomed unless you happen to be highly esteemed by the office. These few suggestions are offered in the hope that those craftsmen who do not have sufficient time to read the text may accumulate enough of the lore of the trade to augment the ranks of the profession. For those of you who wish page sixty-seven to know more but still for some reason are not able to secure the book, we recom- ment that you interview any study hall teacher.

Other members of the golf squad in dual meets were Reg Nelson an dBob Wirka who, along with McKenna, Zingg, and Halvorsen, com- pleted the five man squad. The golf team was under the tutelege of Coach Willis fLightnin' Willj Jones. hand and orchestra Ccontinued from page 472 In the State solo tournament, the school was well represented.
