We have dreamed and planned for this time, a time when we would be happy and untroubled, with difficult stepping stones behind us and a fascinating future on the horizon. Our high school years have been clouded by a great war, but now victory is in sight. This year, 1945, has brought us the promise of a peaceful post- war world—but first the war must be fought to the end. Many of our classmates left early, some to col- lege, others directly from the classrooms into the Army, Navy, or Marines. It was hard for them to go and hard for us to see them leave, but we are proud that they belong to us. So this year, 1945, has been a different but won- derful year with many unexpected events mingled with the familiar. MrikeAsBURTSFIELD During thirty-three years hundreds of boys and girls in West Lafayette have traveled from first grade through high school or a part thereof. Many teach- ers have come and gone, and many changes have been made in the community—but Mr. Burtsfield, our superintendent, has remained throughout —a symbol of steadfast security. Greater monuments than the new buildings erected under his tutelage are the lives of students who have benefited by his understanding of their needs. We, the class of 1945, wish to dedicate the SeAREET AND GRAY to you, MR. BURTSFIELD, and we shall join with countless others in thinking of you as an efficient administrator, a wise and kindly leader, an unforgettable friend. Page 6 We are scarecely aware during the long years of our apprenticeship of the presence of those men in the background who work tirelessly to make our school years a profitable experience. It is only as seniors that we come to recognize the BOARD OF EDUCATION and the part that it plays in providing the tools which mold our lives to this moment of awareness. We, the class of 1945, wish to thank Mr. R. G. Yeager, president; Mr. Burr Prentice, secretary; and Mr. Fred B. Comingore, treasurer, for their in- terest in those things which train us for good citizenship. The office is a friendly place, and the hub of all school activity. Here we find the busy desk of MR. WILLIAM FLOYD, our principal, who is always ready to lend a sympathetic ear to our requests and suggestions, to comfort our fears, and to inspire us to better scholarship. An able assistant has been his secretary, the cheerful Mrs. Davida Greenwood, who reigned in the outer office to answer our numerous questions and to mimeograph tests, forms, blanks, and programs, also to perform endless duties which help make school run smoothly. She was suc- ceeded in December by Mrs. Beulah Bone, and later Mrs. Eloise Levis became secretary. When we first came to Senior High School, we continued our study of English under the guiding light of MISS RUTH SINKS, or perhaps MR. HOWARD EVANS. We tried to straighten out our adjectives and adverbs, commas and semi-colons, our whos and whoms. We followed the trials of Silas Marner and the adventures of King Arthur. As jun- iors under MRS. HARRIETT MUELLER, we entered into the world of American literature peopled by Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, and Carl Sandburg. Incidentally we struggled with spelling and verbs. During our senior year with Miss Sinks we took wings across the sea to become acquainted with Chaucer, Milton, and Galsworthy. Finally we settled down in our last semester to write endless themes, de- termined to become complete masters of our native tongue. Page 8 Long speeches and short ones, debates, and discussions, orations and phonetics—these re- hearsed in the classes of MRS. HARRIETT MUELLER helped us to gain confidence and poise. From quivering knees and stammering tongues we gradually became able to speak in public without a flutter. Then the art of dra- matics was introduced to us the second semes- ter, and memorizing lines for one act plays become daily routine. Indians and frightening old ladies met in the hall were merely the result of our lessons in make-up, while stage crews and technicians learned the fun of back stage duties. To climax the semester’s work we wrote and produced an original one act play. Page 9 Page 10 The familiar cloud of chalk dust, the bang of rulers, and the murmur of “‘ciphering’’ students gave evidence of the math classes. MISS BERNICE FITES and MR. CARMEN FABIAN took turns in directing our paths through the intricacies of geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry. Logarithms, square roots, sines and cosines took new meaning when we realized the important part precision instruments, en- gineéering projects, and global airways will play in winning the peace. As sophomores we passed the science labora- tories with sidelong looks of awe, but as juniors we boldly entered the physics room to learn about heat, light, sound, gases, and such under MISS MARY BUSHONG. When we were sen- iors, the mysterious “‘smell’”’ that issued from the chem lab no longer filled us with terror, and we smiled wisely when questioned and replied, “Oh, that? Why that’s just some hydrogen sul- fide. ’ The study of chemistry and its by prod- ucts is especially important to us in these years of synthetic substitutions. Soctal Studies All of us are acquainted with MR. CHESTER EDDY “MR JOSEPH MEGA RT and. Mik. HOWARD EVANS, who are our social studies instructors. Living in a time when we read | daily of history in the making, we find new significance in events printed in our history books. Rome became alive again with Mus- solini’s capture and with American soldiers on the Italian front. We can contrast the glory of ancient Greece with its starved children of to- day. We experienced anew the terror of the Huns. To our American history we can add the names of brave men and brave events, and we feel the urge to double our war effort to ‘“make democracy live’’. Page 12 With a national debt of three billion dollars and more in this our graduating year, with prices high and valued things not purchasable, the study of economics, as taught by Mr. Joseph McCarty, comes very close to our every day liv- ing. We know we shall have a large share in bringing the financia! conditions cf our country to normal peace time conditions. Our thinking has been directed through the study of civics to wartime legislation, and has given us an adequate blackground to make comprehensible the Dumbarton Oakes peace plan, the Yalta meeting, and other events with historical significance. Caesar’s wars, Roman banquets, Christmas carols in Latin—and conjugations! MISS BELLE COULTER guided us through Latin translations and struggles in Latin declensions. When we won our battles as well as Caesar's, we were glad we had a background for entering the field of nursing or medicine, or the tools for a better understanding of our own language. Post war Germany will be a challenge to our generation. MR. CHESTER EDDY gave us a good start in learning the language of this a ae country which is being bombed into surrender ——— to the allies as we are preparing for graduation. Page 14 We shall forget our confusion over der, die, and das and the subjunctive mode when we find ourselves helping to shape the Germany of to- morrow. To keep alive our Good Neighbor Policy, the study of Spanish is valuable. MRS. GLADYS ISAAC teaches the language of Mexico, Chili, and Brazil, now more important to us than the accent of old Spain. Some day we shall travel by plane or on our new synthetic tires to introduce oureslves to our Latin American friends; then we shall appreciate even more our lessons in Spanish. With the need of women in industry, the - enlistment of young women in Wacs and Waves, and the expanded field of careers open to women, the home and its management de- velops new meaning to high school girls. In the classes taught by MRS. RUTH HAMLIN we learned to fashion suits and dresses, to care for children, and to regard home life as a cherished opportunity; but more than this we came to realize what it means to live with others cheer- fully and intelligently in a rationed world. Page 16 Under the direction of MR. WOODSON IMMEL the boys in our class began to feel like men of industry as they worked with chisels and punches in the school shop. Forging, metal and wood turning, and heat treating of metal afforded an outlet for energy and a relaxation from book work. Across the hall seated on high stools, boys and girls, too, found it interesting to lean over the tall, slanting desks to concen- trate on architectural or machine drawing. In February Mr. Immel retired after twenty years of fine service to our school. He was suc- ceeded by MR. GEORGE PRICE. Page 18 The fact that rejections for military service from our school are few is no doubt due to the emphasis placed on physical readiness by MR. MALCOLM MACKEY, our director of physical education for boys. Calisthenics punctuated by periods of softball, soccer, badminton, and basketball built us to strength and endurance. Fifty percent of the boys took part in physical education classes while the other fifty percent participated in athletics. Lack of indoor facili- ties sent classes to the athletic field during fall and spring and to the classroom for the study of health and hygiene during the winter months. We have no gymnasium, but it was fun to carry on our physical fitness program out-of-doors during the nine weeks of fall and nine weeks of spring- time weather. Whether it was by means of general conditioning exercises of bone creaking nature, play- ing games, or gamboling on the green, MISS BER- NICE FITES helped us to achieve that healthy vim and vigor necessary to match the strenuous activi- ties of a war time year. Many of us were interested in G.A.A., which met after school twice a week, and we rejoiced when our school placed first in an invita- tional archery contest. Soccer, speedball, tennis, and tumbling are other activities in which we partici- pated. Ants is Page 20 What would we do without the art depart- ment to help us with our banquet and play programs, our posters, and the decorations for our dances. Mrs. GWEN HAMMER gave us val- uable time and helped us use our talent in these pleasureable enterprises as well as instructing us in painting, drawing, pottery, and leather- craft. We who are devoid of artistic ability are envious of those who can do such fascinating things in the art room. Here formal questions and answers are lacking, books need not be read, but time goes too quickly as we see our handiwork take form. Display in. the hall win- dows brings the climax we long for. We ap- preciate the contributions of the art depart- ment for the added grace and beauty it brings to our school lives. le The busy atmosphere of our commercial de- partment reminds us of the days we spent click- ing away on typewriters learning to hit AS D F and J] K L with MR. REPLOGLE encouraging our efforts. What a thrill it was when we could type ?? words a minute with only four months’ prac- tice. To the uninitiated the weird signs on the blackboard in the next room spell nonsense, but to us they soon spelled our ability to read and to write in shorthand. In bookkeeping the long columns of figures to add made us feel like one of the quiz kids; now we chuckle when we think of the gallons of ink eradicator we used! SOE DEL Page 22 With many older boys accelerating their program and thus having no time for band practice, MR. MARSHALL HOWENSTEIN, has worked with younger students to produce a band which has played its part in heightening school spirit. Whether marching on the foot- ball field or playing from the balcony of the Purdue Field House, the music from fife and drum has kept time with the yells and cheers of enthusiastic spectators. We shall never for- get the awed silence of the flag raising with the Star Spangled Banner making us feel free and proud that we are Americans. A new group of baton twirlers replaced in good form the veterans of the last four years. It is the orchestra with its forty to fifty members that accompanies our march down the aisles of Commencement Hall. Its well bal- anced organization and selection of music gave our school a high rating in music ricles. Everyone likes to sing, and MRS. MAR- SHALL HOWENSTEIN has trained in chorus and glee club those who especially enjoy sing- ing. In many programs throughout the year these singers willingly gave their services. They have lent the atmosphere of worship to Christ- mas and Good Friday services, given enjoyment at meetings of our parents, entertained with lighter music at convocations, and will sing to us at Commencement. Soloists from this group as well as from the instrumental department have rated high in district,and state festivals. [20 Page 23 Libra Page 24 ‘A pass to the library, please’. What a book minded group we are! MR. HOWARD EVANS, our librarian, has made the spacious room an attractive and profitable place to spend our time. He is assisted by student librarians, who receive valuable training through serving our needs. When we have reference material as- signed, when we must choose a book for a re- port, or must know the latest news or the new- est fashions in Madamoiselle, the library is the place to go. By the time we are seniors, we have learned to use its facilities with skill. Ve Wh “They molded with full power and art An eager mind and yielding heart.” When we entered the seventh grade, it seemed that an eternity stretched between us and that bright goal — graduation. However, every class finds that the years go more quickly than we expect. We are seniors almost before we have a chance to think about it. Perhaps, because of the troubled world condi- tions, the last six years have passed more rapidly for us, the class of 1945, than they have for pre- ceding classes. Now that our time here in West Side is almost over, we begin to think about these past years. Although we did not realize it before, now we know that our minds have been developing right along with our stature. Many things have had an influence on this development, and one of the most important of these is the influence of class activ- ities. In the seventh and eighth grades at West Side, we organize in the form of ‘“home rooms”. In this way we learn how to conduct orderly, business-like meetings. In the ninth grade most classes produce their first play. The highlight of the sophomore year is the Sophomore Cotillion which is held in the fall. The class is really organized for the first time in the junior year. Officers are elected and com- mittees appointed, and we learn to develop our ex- ecutive ability and sense of responsibility. The junior class also always presents a play. The senior class, of course, has the most responsibilities of all. It publishes the annual, produces a play, plans Gala Week, and takes important roles in school govern- ment. Now we are proud to present to you the different classes at West Lafayette. Class dhstorw We've come a long way together—and yet it has taken so little time. As we look back it seems to have been just yesterday, or perhaps the day before, when we first met to begin our school days. Life was simple then. We were not troubled by great wars and world shaking events. Ours was a world of peace and plenty. Now let us glance back over those happy, carefree days. Our first school year was 1933 and that year was passed in the kindergarten room at Morton School. We played games and slowly began to learn one of the most important and least prac- ticed arts in the world—the art of getting along with one another. Real school began in the first grade and from then on time started to fly. One year was not much different from another, but we managed to keep track of time by noting how we grew taller, and lost our teeth and got new ones, and so on. We were dismissed a few minutes later with each promotion, and so we felt older each time. Probably the proudest moment of our Morton life came when we completed the fourth grade and ventured into the great unknown —upstairs. The next two years passed rapidly, and soon we were ready to leave Morton and go to Junior High. Our Morton memories are happy. We remember with pleasure the weekly convocations in which each class took part at sometime during the year; the Valentine boxes and Hallowe’en parties, complete with costumes; dancing classes; recess, when we played baseball and black- man and climbed on the Jungle Gym; fixing displays in the bulletin cases in the hall; learning all sorts of things; having our first taste of clubs and parliamentary procedure in the sixth grade; and, finally, being dismissed from Morton for the last time. We were the first class to go to Junior High as 7 B’s. That was a great day! We could now carry real notebooks and have a different teacher for every class. The highlight of our eighth grade was a trip by chartered buses to Indianapolis to visit the Legislature and see just how our state government is run. In the ninth grade, or freshman year, we really felt grown up. Besides being the oldest in the school, we began to study foreign languages and algebra, and found they were not as hard as we expected. We find that our memories of those years are many and varied. First comes the time in the ‘seventh grade when we went to school only in the afternoon because the new Senior High was not yet completed and those students used the building in the morning. We remember the teachers; the fire drills when we slid down the chutes; gym classes held in the ‘’“cheesebox’’; pep sessions where the cheer leaders always told us we yelled louder than the Senior High students; our first science laboratory work in the eighth grade where we drew muscle tissue, and the dissecting grasshoppers in biology; Senorita’s Spanish Class with Alfredo helping; reading ‘Lochinvar’ and ‘Evangeline’; ninth grade English classes where we gave reports and kept notebooks; algebra problems; the library; those lockers; all this and more means Junior High to us. When we entered Senior High, that impressive building on the hill, we were on the last lap of our school days. It seemed to us, then, that three years was a very long time, but now we find that they have gone all too fast. In Senior High we have learned many things and have had many happy times. We'll never forget the caf’, particularly on rainy days; talking in the library; the bitter wind as we wearily crossed the path and climbed the hill in what seemed like midnight on cold winter mornings; meeting in the Press Room; studying “econ” and “chem” and college algebra dur- ing our last year; then seeing boys of our class go off to military service and realizing that we were growing up—sooner than we expected. Now it is time for us to end our school life, and, although the past is happy we know that we must look forward into the future for— “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.” Page 26 Sponsor Miss Ruth Sinks President Dick Pershing Vice President Doris Newmark Secretary Mary Ann Harriman Treasurer Henry Ryder Page 27 Barbara Ann Abbett Ahea Club Speech Arts Club Junior Play Mary Bradley Annual Staff Girls’ Club Ahea Club Virginia Lee Addison Chorus Girls’ Club Speech Arts Club Glen Brown Fodtball Hy-Y Speech Arts Club Uae Ey ech Good gk arth’ _ ste rattcrty Jean Alexander Quill and Screll Girls’ Club Speech Arts Club William R.

The mem- bers of the society are elected from the senior class each fall by the faculty. The basis on which our faculty chooses these students is character, service, leadership, and scholarship. The members of the National Honor Society this year are Henry Ryder, Martha Schroyer, Doris New- mark, and Roselyn Montgomery. The following ad- ditional names were announced at Commencement: Jean Alexander, Helen Byers, Ted Cutshall, Phyllis Lommel, Phyllis Parvis, Martha Ryan, Scott Wallace.

Always alert to make our surroundings pleasant, always eager to give us opportunity to develop our best talents, Mr. Tucker has become a fast friend of all of us. We have been very active in our organizations this year. In September the Girls’ Club honored all the new students with a tea and has been very prominent in events during the year. Some of the many things we have dene are: sponsoring pep sessions, tea dances, Dad and Daughter, Mother and Daughter and I|n- tramural banquets. Mrs. Leer has been our sponsor. The Senate, under the leadership of Mrs. Gowdy, has been very active in the bond drives, keeping the lockers locked and neat, and in solving other prob- lems that have confronted the school. Page 38 In the early part of December the freshman class presented The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a 3 act play, which was a great success, making more money than any preceding play. It was directed by Mrs. Leer. Mr. Cornell has been sponsor of intramural sports this year. We have had football, basketball, and baseball games. Miss Mary Margaret Webb, Junior High School secretary, does much in helping the students strug- gle through their daily routine. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. Howen- stein, has given many interesting programs includ- ing the Christmas cantata.

Page 4] Page 42 As their training pressed him still He moved and yielded to their will.” “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. The individual who spends all his time on his studies is going to be one-sided; therefore, everyone should engage in some kind of activity for relaxation. The student who has numerous and varied interests is going to be a most interesting person to know and to work with. He will have everwider horizons and ever-broadening fields of experience. The person who is consumed with his studies is like a bird in a cage. He is confined within the bars. A person who divides his time between work and play is like a swallow, darting here and there. He is free to “‘see the world” in the ways of the birds. To the end that all of us may become well-de- veloped individuals with many facets of interest, we, the seniors of ‘45, have a well-developed program of activities. There are activities and organizations to suit the diversified interest of all of us. There is something to interest each of us, and if we will take part, the old maxim might well become, ‘’Work and play in every day, and Jack will be a swell fellow.” Page 44 The three years in Senior High passed swiftly for the class of 1945. While the hour glass measured time, we were molded from carless sophomores to senior men and women, taking our turn to help finish the war or to prepare ourselves for a world of peace. In this book you will find a record of our serious moments, but also abundant evidence that gay and happy times were not lacking.

Many would-be scribes and reporters rallied to the call of Marilyn Gray during the summer of 1944, and as a result Marilyn, as editor-in-chief, and her staff, issued creditable publications throughout the year, which were not only eagerly read by ‘‘home front’’ subscribers but were a source of enjoyment to our boys in service from France to Honolulu.

Some of the outstanding activities of this school year have been planning the convoca- tions for each month, promoting and selling tickets for the athletic events, sponsoring the school mixers, and starting the practice of giv- ing W.L. sweaters to the football queens. The officers of the year have been Henry Ryder, president, and Anne Warren, secretary. “The years were swiftly passing by And so he changed till with a sigh—” When West Side’s husky gridders take the field on a cold rainy night to do battle with a favored foe, there must be pity in the hearts of some of their loyai fans. If there is, it is unnecessary, for in that game, and in all of the games of competition that those boys take part in here at W.L.H.S. they are gaining certain qualities of character that they could receive in no other manner. Under what circumstance, other than in athletics, could a fellow, after his team has been defeated and he himself received countless bruises, grab his op- ponent’s hand and with al the sincerity imaginable say, ‘Nice game, fellow; you’ve got a great team”’. Another thrill that only an athlete feels, comes when he and his teammates have worked together through an entire contest and in the final moments produce the margin of victory. When we consider the gratification of losing to a superior team, and being able to take it, or achieve the one thing that man strives for, victory, then and only then do we understand the meaning of athletics. Athletics. Page 50 The Red Devils of W.L. broke the seal on the 1944 season with a 6 to O loss to Jeff. Hudlow, Dietrich, and Leslie were individual standouts, while the whole Scarlet crew showed strength and spirit. On the following Friday our fighting team played the second game of its seven game schedule. What might have been our first victory was a reeling defeat at the hands of Washington of Indianapolis by the score of 26 to 6. Taking advantage of a week's lay off, Coach Mackey rejuvenated his team and had the pleasure of seeing his work bear fruit as West Side trampled Peru 38 to O. Our offense was paced by Hudlow’s running behind fine blocking. Showing themselves to be no ‘’flash in the pan”, the Red Devils came back to roll over Crawfordsville 20 to 13 the following week. Ryder, Thise, and Heath were mainstays of the W.L. defense, while Hudlow and Dietrich led the offense. The gallant sons of W. L. then journeyed for the first and only time this season to an opponent's grid- iron, riding the Monon to Rensselaer. There they buried a hapless Bomber squad beneath a 38 to O score. The whole W.L. line, featuring Jay Lang, played a superb game. Leslie and a strong supporting cast of fleet W.L. backs very ably furnished the of- fensive power. Back home again on October 25 the Scarlets de- feated a strong Frankfort team 14 to O. This was the fourth straight victory for the Red Devils in as many weeks. Leslie’s passing and Hudlow’s running sparked the West Side offense. Kizer, Allen, and Parkinson played beautiful ball on defense to hold the Nighthawks scoreless. After four straight wins West Side banged into one of the state’s powers in Washington of South Bend. On a rain soaked gridiron the mud covered warriors of W. L. played hard, but Washington with sheer power swam to a 33 to O victory. Dietrich and all the West Siders played a good game. So closed the W.L. season with four wins and three losses. Not bad for a team which after taking two successive defeats came back to win four straight.

The next week, Coach Mackey, with some difficulty, located Brook’s High School and sent the team out to receive their second defeat 47-33. Dietrich, playing his first game of the season, and Jim Thise, led the scoring with nine points each. Our bad luck was only starting as we lost to Attica 35-16, and Rossville 71-15 on the next two Fridays. It looked as if maybe we had something in store for future opponents as we tied up the score in the fourth quarter of a game with a highly ranked Tipton team, but faded out before the final gun and lost 30-22. In W.L.’s battle with their cross the river rivals they again bowed in defeat, 42-20. Dietrich with nine points was again our high man. East Chicago sent down a big team just before Christmas and dampened our holidays with a 40-19 affair in their favor. During the Christmas vacation Coach Mackey took his ‘’victorless wonders’’ as some one had called them about that time, to Fowler where they suffered their eighth and ninth defeats at the hands of Brookston and Fowler 37-31 and 31-25 in a New Year’s Tourney. Jim Thise was W.L.’s high point man in these two encounters. W.L. was to suffer one more set back before “‘lady luck smiled’’, this time it was Crawfordsville that rang up the victory, 38-21. It finally came after ten straight defeats, our victory over Fowler by 24-23 count. Dietrich and Ryder led the way in our first win with seven and six points respectively. The taste of victory was sweet so on the following Friday our Red Devils produced a sterling 24-23 win over Greencastle, a highly rated team in the state. In this, the most brilliant game of the season, Dietrich and Brown led in the scoring column, but it was the team play that paid off. After this encounter the team slogan was ‘’On to the State”’. At Monticello Coach Mackey sent his boys on the floor to receive their eleventh set-back, 36-27. Mr. Dietrich produced sixteen points of our total. Otterbein paid us a visit on Friday of that week and went home on the short end of a 43-24 score. Score for W.L. was as follows: Dietrich, 13; Collings, 9; Brown, 8; Thise, 7. Page 53 Basketball The Scarlets were turned back in a thrilling game in Anderson gym by a scrappy Lapel team, 34-30. Brown and Dietrich led the way with seven and eight points respectively. This was Dietrich’s last game. After two weeks’ lay off W.L. coasted through five more losses. The first of these was suffered at the hands of Rensselaer, 44-29. Rossville beat us for the second time this season: this time less overwhelmingly, 46-16. Frankfort walloped us in a big way on their home floor 60-26. Harold Hudlow in his first starting role dropped in nine points for Scarlet honors. Winamac and Attica added our last two defeats to a seventeen total with 36-25, 41-26 margins respectively. Bill B rown led the scoring for the Devils in both of these games. In tourney play West Side met Monitor in their first game and West Side rooters had the opportunity to see our team in tourney form. Catastrophe and the end of our hopes came, however, with the following game with Battle Ground. Page 54 West Lafayette, with its second track team in recent years, displayed a great deal of talent on the cinder paths by winning two meets and placing second in several others in a schedule that included some of the best competition in the state. Our team opened its season with an impressive win over Frankfort by the score of 67-48. Bob Baker took two first place ribbons, while Dietrich, Guard, Ryder, Frager, and both relay teams copped single blue streamers. The Scarlet and Gray thinlies made it two in a row as they triumphed in a six-way meet at Fowler with a score of 54 points. Baker again won both dashes, and his team-mates that received first place recognition were Frager, Thise, Swindler, and both relay teams. Jefferson of Lafayette provided our first set-back when they emerged on the long end of a 76-56 score. However, Henry Ryder scampered home with two first place markers in the hurdle events for W. L. On the next Friday afternoon Coach Mackey took his team to Indianapolis where they participated in the biggest meet of the season, the Southport Relays. W.L.’s results in this meet weren’t too outstanding; however, the experience gained was of great value to the team in the latter part of the season. Our next and most brilliant effort was put forth at the Kokomo Relays where we placed second in the Class B. division. Hank Ryder was one of the standouts at this meet by winning first in both the high and low hurdles. The Broncos of Jeff again turned our W.L. men back in a three-way meet on the Jeff Plateau. W.L. took second with 61 points to Lafayette’s 83 points. In a four-way meet at Monticello, W.L. again rang up a second place. Here it was Fowler with 58 points to our 54 that fashioned our defeat. In this contest Page 55 George Dietrich brought back victories in both hurdles, while Thise and Hudlow won the shot put and broad jump respectively. West Side placed second to Jeff again in the Central Indiana meet. This time only eleven points separated the two teams as Jeff scored 59 points to W.L.’s 48. Ryder again copped honors in both hurdle events. The season ended for most of the team at the Sectional meet at Jeff. Henry Ryder was the only Red Devil who qualified to go to the State meet by virtue of winning second place in the high and low hurdles. Both W.L. relay teams placed second in this meet, but they did not get to go to the State. _ rie “They looked again when years were gone It was a man they looked upon.” What would school be without all those fea- tures called extra-curricular activities which keep us busy and happy! So varied are they, almost every- one has an opportunity to benefit by them. Many of us participate in drama, athletics, and music, but those of us who have no talent in any of these find satisfaction and interest in the programs of our clubs. To help make a decision in Student Council, to decorate for a dance, or to introduce a speaker — whatever it is——we can test ourselves in the ability to be dependable and responsible citizens of our school. Yes, the crowning feature of our school life and the enrichment of our preparation for adult years depends upon learning to work with others. When we are seniors, we realize that we have re- ceived in full measure from our school in accord- ance with that which we have given to it in service and loyalty.
