Band The Band, under the leadership of Mr. Ernest Stanke, had its usual heavy schedule playing for all occasions from pep meetings to network broadcastsf, They pro- vided plenty of spirit for all the home football games and some basketball games and even made the trip to Ianesville to support the team there. In addition to the Winter and Spring Concerts, they gave an unusual Pop Concert in the form of a mutual network broadcast. Beverly Iohnson and Ianet Easum are to be congratu- lated for their Hne jobs in performing piano solos during the two main concerts. The Band officers, with Wally Stebbins as Lieutenant, took care of the tasks of setting up chairs, caring for equipment and all office work. Orchestra . Fifty-two senior high students make up the West High Concert Orchestra which is under the direction of Mr. Ernest Stanke.

Social Committee The Social Committee members have had their usual busy season and, with the aid. of their advisor, Mr. Iames Schaefer, were responsible for some very success- ful dances. In the fall they sponsored the informal Homecoming Dance, which was held following the Beloit football game. One of the big events of the spring social season was the formal May Dance also sponsored by the committee and held this year on May 14. The Social Committee also supervised such affairs as the Grad Dance, the Yearbook Dance, and the W Club Dance, which are sponsored by various school groups. Members of the committee were Frank Wendt, chairman, Paul Beers, Dave Moran, Iohn Schlom, Lucia Koltes, Eddie Rubin, Beverly Iohnson, Elinor Westbury, Dick Roberts, and Ierry Remy. 23 Ojfice Workers ' Say, can I get another absence card? May I use the telephoneF,' Did you find a white scarf with a blue fringe? These and many other questions were asked of the girls working in the oliice this year. Their main duties were to watch the switchboard and pick up the ab- sence reports after home room and 7th period, but many other jobs were given to them. The switchboard was enough to keep them busy, but they also took telephone messages, delivered them, sorted mail, ran the ditto machine, and helped the people who came to the oHice desk wanting informa- tion or help of some kind. To these girls we extend our praise for their won- derful work. Class Night Committee The Forty-Niners Showboat was the fitting theme chosen by the Class Night Committee, headed by co- chairrnen, Iim Critton, and Glenn Weavers. Their committee members were Helen Worsencroft, Dave Severson, Iulie Pfanku, Ann Seibold, Wally Stebbins, Burk Brown, Bill Boaman, Iane Bandy, and Betty Christoffersen. Each member was responsible for one act among which were skits, bands, and quartets, all acts centering around the 49ers,, theme. Tryouts in early spring gave each aspiring performer an oppor- tunity to show his ability. Contrary to former years, only West High students participated in the perform- ance. In addition admission was charged for all those except seniors who attended the show.
