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.

High Tim Laying out pages for High Times are Dick Roberts, Barbara Tews, Dave Umlancl, Mary Ann Hoclcl, and Kaye McGann. Taking a trip to Hillsboro, and, by the way, missing a day of school, was the main social event of the year for the High-Times members. A tea, a Christmas party, and a press box lunch were among the other events that relieved the hard work of the High-Times staff. During the year a twelve-page Christmas issue and fourteen regular issues were published under the direc- tion of Barbara Duff, Kaye McGann, and Mr. Robert Harnack, advisor. Many changes were made in an effort to make the High-Times the best yet, and wc think the staff of '49 did rt swell job.
