It has been the center of our social life, besides laying a complete foundation for later years. As we finally realize all this, a lump comes to our throats, and we find it will be hard to leave. Although we may return often, the thrill of being seniors and the same sort of carefree feeling can never be found again, for we soon must begin to accept certain mature responsibilities. Here OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY, they may continue so, but we shall leave a part of them behind forever at West Side High School. 1953 SCARLET 5 GRAY WEST LAFAYETTE H. S.

Perhaps only the club treasurers know what a difficult job Miss Adams has in balancing all the books and how expertly she does it. School Board One of the foremost factors in the building and completion of the auditorium-gymnasium has been the untiring work and vision of the School Board. The members, J. Henry Law, Karl H. Kettelhut, and Burr Prentice, together with Mr. Floyd, have seen the real- ization of their dream in the completion of this edifice. Under the excellent direction of the School Board, the students in our school are now assured of the finest equipment, as well as the best of educators and a satisfactory curriculum. l'11y1f Ili Mr. Floyd Besides running three schools expertly, our super- intendent, Mr. William Floyd, has had the additional iob this semester of acting as principal during Mr. Hammer's leave of absence. His double job, which he handles smoothly and efficiently, has been one of extreme pleasure to him, says Mr. Floyd. l have a better chance really to know the students, not iust observe them. Every superin- tendent should be a principal once each ten years. Working with the School Board, Mr. Floyd did much to further the construction of the auditorium-gymna- sium. He could be seen almost every day discussing plans with the builders or showing visitors around the unfinished construction. Recognition of his work in the school system and community of West Lafayette was given at the dedi- cation ceremonies of the new building. The class of '51 presented Mr. Floyd with a plaque honoring him. This is now hanging in the auditorium-gymnasium. The senior class would like to thank Mr. Floyd for his friendliness, cooperation and untiring efforts for the benefit of all students in our school. TOP: Miss Pearl Adams lends a helping hand to treasurers Elsa Rasmusson and Mary Jo Logan. BOTTOM: Looking at the newly completed auditorium are, left to right, Karl Kettelhut, Burr Prentice, Henry Law, and William Floyd. Mr. Hammer During our years at West Side, our principal, Mr. Carl Hammer, has encouraged and guided us in ideals for the future. At any time students may talk to him about their school records, activities, or after school vocations. The second semester of this year Mr. Hammer studied at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, for his doctorate in education. He will take work for three quarters, and receive his degrees about August fifteenth. Mrs. Hammer will ioin him during the summer. In his course Mr. Hammer is specializing in phases of public school business management, plans for school buildings, and school insurance. He believes we should offer more opportunity to those who are not leaders and more challenge to the talented individual. Direct contact with vocational work is another idea he would like to see incorporated in more schools. Most important is his belief that in order to perpetuate the democratic ideals of America, the schools must train their students for responsibility in that kind of life. During the first semester, Mr. Hammer was a very active factor in the completion of the auditorium-gym- nasium. The facilities in the building will keep the pro- gram set up by the faculty, but he reminded us that there is still much to be finished before the supplies and building are completed. As a very avid follower of sports at West Side, Mr. Hammer feels the gymnasium will encourage activities in sports and more outside interest in high school events. Mrs. Allendorph Taking care of routine office work which is never routine takes most of the time of Mrs. Anna Allen- dorph, Mr. Hammer's excellent secretary. Though she is constantly being interrupted by telephone calls, re- quests for paper, and change for a dime, she admits her work would be very dull without them. Helping her with these many duties are iuniors Sally Raub and Barbara Woods. Mrs. Allendorph is kept busy an- swering S64 questions.

To phrase it that way, it sounds as if it were a long time. When we start rem- iniscing, however, it seems only yesterday that ..... Jay Jackson had to stand in the corner the first day of kindergarten, and Jack Strobel became a Romeo at an early age by kissing Carole Hudlow. Remember in the first grade when Sara Law played Black Mumbo, and Dan Den Uyl did a strip-tease act as Black Sambo? We'll never forget the high door knob on the boys' restroom door, and the many skinned knees we ac- quired on the playground from playing air plane and Blackman. ln Mr. Davis's room we played eraser tag and roller-skated up and down the aisles. lt was then Lois Lathrope, with her one weak knee and her satchel, arrived in our class. Poor Elaine Cummins fainted on the way to Davis's farm for our 6th grade picnic, and Joan Beeson almost sat on a water moc- casin. A mock graduation ceremony by Miss Jordan's room pictured Edith Corley as a skunk farmer and Ralph Johansen as a surgeon. Our first acquaintance with Junior High School was made on a guided tour through the building. That same day we took our first daring and exciting slide down the fire chute!! We'll never forget Miss Pease's dancing classes and the boys' strange disappearing act through the window back stage. Our future ath- letes considered football more important than learn- Page 20 Heading the senior class this year are, left to right, Dale Snelling, vice-president, Edith Corley, secretary, Mary Jo Logan, treasurer, John Heim- lich, president, and Mr. Donald Fites, sponsor. ing the foxtrot! Probably the most outstanding recol- lection of Junior High is our trip to the Museum of Science and lndustry in Chicago. Remember our awe- some faces in the coal pit and Mr. Curtis's watchful eye during the bus trip home?! It seems we were the first class to be initiated into his Club 7. During our first high school days we thought our- selves true linguists when we learned to say Britania est insula and 5 Como esta usted ? The Shamrock Ball was our first formal dance, it seemed we wanted to attend everything we possibly could. The boys will never forget their pleasure walks from the country back to town as freshmen, and the girls will remember the many football suppers and the fun of traveling to out-of-town games. Remember the time Duffy Mullen got caught sitting on top of the fiag pole? ln our iunior year we recall our paper drive, pom-pom sales, and the class play, in which Philip Klinger made his debut into the theater world as the madman! This year, as seniors, we watched the marvelous comeback of our '52 football team. What a record: seven wins, one loss, and one tie-and it had to be with Jeff! Remember Dale Snelling's versatility in that game? Finally came Gala Week-'nuf said! Yes, it has been twelve years spent with wonderful friends and in wonderful ways. lt's not an understate- ment when we say that Our Hearts Were Always Young and Gay.

Beginning with the Junior-Senior Prom and ending with Baccalaureate and Commencement, Gala Week provides each senior with enough memories to last a lifetime. We will always re- member the good time we had on the Senior Pic- nic. Heading this significant committee was Dale Snelling, assisted by Nancy Notzold, Jack Nicol, Sonia Van Pelt, Russell Knauer, and Rosemary Henderson. Selecting a play for the seniors to present this year was no easy job, and the Play-Reading Com- mittee, headed by Muriel Robinson, had many fac- tors to consider in reaching that decision. We felt that they made the best possible selection in choosing to present that hilarious comedy, You Can't Take lt With You. John Hoffman, Sara Law, Marilyn Wiegand, Jay Jackson, and Bob Duncan were members of the committee. lt was very exciting to have that first look at our very own commencement invitations which we ordered from Ann Taylor, chairman of the Name Cards Committee. On the committee were Donna Wilson, Ralph Johansen, Lois Lathrope, Jim Brooks, and Don Katter. Under the capable chairmanship of Richard Bauman, the Ways and Means Com- mittee carried out its duties. The committee in- cluded Herb Miller, Elsa Rasmusson, Joe McMullen, Joan Beeson, and Jim Eaton. This year's Senior Convo, the first to be pre- sented in the new auditorium, was acclaimed by many as being the best to be presented in the past several years. With the combined efforts of the chairmen, Carole Hudlow and DuFfy Mullen, and their committee, Jim Backoff, Phil Klinger, Norma Huron, Dave Franzen, and Elaine Cummins, and the cooperation from the whole senior class, de- lightful entertainment for the whole school was provided. Another important group which helps to make our senior year a more successful one is the Caps and Gowns Committee. There is more work than meets the eye in getting every senior's measure- ments and ordering all the caps and gowns cor- rectly. Pauletta Craw, who did a commendable job as chairman, was ably assisted by her committee which consisted of Glenn Alexander, Carolyn Crain, Dan DenUyl, Joyce Bixler, and George Frazier. 71 Page 29 5 iuniors The Junior Class undertook many projects this year to earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom. With the help of their sponsor, Mrs. Gladys Isaac, the class had a bake sale, parked cars for several Purdue games, and initiated the idea of a coat hanger drive, which proved very successful. The class was under the capable leadership of Barry Elkin, president, Mary Brown, vice-president, Janet Eaton, secretary, and Madonna Dienhart, treas- urer. The committee heads for the Junior Class were Pete McClure, Ways and Means, Barbara Snedeker, Rings, and Mary Brown, Junior-Senior Prom. Follow the Dream , the Junior Class play, was the first school presentation to be given in the new audi- torium. The play, given November 25th and 26th, was a dramatic comedy starring Ruth Walerstein, Randy Lingle, and Barry Elkin. Mrs. Harriett Mueller was the director, while the technical aspects of the play were under the supervision of Mrs. Elizabeth Leer. Tom Anderson and John Woods, two of our most outstanding football players, were elected captains of next year's football team. Dave Kurtz received the honor of being elected basketball captain. Representing the juniors in the Football Queen's Court this year were Jackie Kissell and Paula Alex- ander, and on the basketball queen's court, Karen Lister and Bev Beck. Page 30 Keeping the junior class running smoothly was the job of Mrs. Gladys Isaac, sponsor, Mary Brown, vice- president, Janet Eaton, secretary, Barry Elkin, presi- dent, and Madonna Dienhart, treasurer, left to right. The four majorettes this year, all juniors, were Karen Lister, Mary Brown, Connie Bolds, and Bev Beck. They introduced the idea of twirling lighted batons at the games. Leading the band as our drum major was Pete McClure, while Janet Eaton led yells for the games. For the first time, the juniors were asked to help with the Annual. Margaret Anne Freeman, Connie Bolds, Sally Raub, Ruth Walerstein, Pete McClure, Tom Dowling, Dick Smith, and Dick Fauber were chosen. Helping on the Scarlette were Barbara Dodds, Pete McClure, Tom Dowling, Jackie Kissell and Caro- lyn Evans. The Junior Class is represented on the executive board of many school clubs. In Speech Arts Tom Dowling and Mary Brown were vice-president and Junior Class representative, respectively. Tom was also in the Speech Arts play, Sight Unseen. The treas- urer of Ahea was Carolyn Evans, serving on the exec- utive board were Ruth Walerstein, Bev Beck, Paula Alexander, Marilyn Ridgely and Mary Brown. On the Girls' Club executive committee were Madonna Dien- hart, Jackie Kissell, Connie Bolds, and Fay Follett. In G.A.A. Sally Bible was vice-president and Nancy Cox, secretary. Placings were made in the District Solo and En- semble Contest by Pete McClure, voice, and Margaret Anne Freeman, violin.

Dramatics seemed to be a popular field for sopho- mores, as many displayed their talents in the one act mystery play, Two Crooks and a Lady, directed by Mimi Cohen. The Speech Arts play, Sight Un- seen , had four sophomores, Gretchen Counsman, Sondra Mueller, Bob Miller, and Chuck Todd, in its cast. The Deviltries of '53 also had a large number of sophomores in its production. Bob Miller, as stage manager, and Allan Keller, who handled the lighting, did a great deal of work behind the scenes. Pick- aninny Shuffle was a number done by five girls, Betty Baruth, Gretchen Counsman, Sandra McNear, Betsy Randolph, and Sonya Stewart. Cabaret Capers was another sophomore act, featuring Sonya Stewart and Bill Castell.

One of these was the fact that upperclassmen aren't really the ogres they are envisioned to be. A few of the active freshmen this year were Karen Ullstrup, freshman representative to the Student Coun- cil, and Bette Speaker who was chosen as one of the B team cheer leaders. Another was Carolyn Milli- gan, an alternate baton twirler. Molly Loop was elected to the office of freshman representative in Speech Arts. She also directed a freshman play entitled Where But In America, which featured Susan Risk, Karen Farmer, and Jerry Woods. ln the i953 Speech Arts play, Sight Unseen, Bill Risk portrayed one of the ghosts. The Class of '56 has many promising athletes in all sports, including Chip Holcomb, Gary Underhill, Bob freshmen Linda Baker, Karen Ullstrup, Susan Risk, Gonny Belinfante, Ann Alberts.

Most outstanding in music is Carol Shigley who accompanies the Girls' Glee Club and the orchestra. Awards were presented to Carol Shigley, Peggy Cable, and Bruce Sherwood at the District Solo and Ensemble Contest. Judy Hen- derson showed her artistic talent by placing second in a poster contest held during Oil Progress Week. The Freshman Class was also represented in the Music Booster's production The Deviltries by four girls, Jean Lathrope, Susie Dienhart, Judy Henderson, and Patty Mattison, who presented a humorous skit. Serving as faculty advisors to the Freshman Class Mrs. Elizabeth Leer and Mr. Kenneth Bush helped make the freshman year both profitable and enjoy- able. Priyre 33 2 Q l E., 5 Serving as our road to higher learning, where we gain in knowledge and interest, our courses lay a foundation for the future, whether it be work or higher education. However, without the constant guidance of our teachers, this founda- tion could never hcive been obtained. our hearts were young and gay 6 4 Page 36 grammar There's no need to ponder over correct word usage when such fine English courses are available to our students in the English corner pre- sided over by Mrs. Elizabeth Leer, Mrs. Harriett Mueller, Miss Ruth Sinks, and Mr. Howard Evans. When freshmen, we took English grammar, and we learned the p's and q's of good speaking and writing during our sophomore year. Next we studied one semester of grammar, and in our senior year we were pro- vided with a college preparatory course. Our helpful grammar courses will not be forgotten. speech If you see someone talking to himself, don't be alarmed! It's only a speech student reviewing the lines of his final speech. Pantomimes, de- bates, and interviews are also pop- ular in speech class. Some members of the speech class participated on WBAA's Citizens of Tomorrow Speak program. Second semester, dramatics was offered to students, and this course provided us with a good background of the theatrical world. Mrs. Harriett Mueller taught us many dos and don'ts of public speaking that will always be of great value to us. literature Our literature classes give us an over-all summary of the greatest words ever written. Our instructors, Miss Ruth Sinks, Mrs. Harriett Muel- ler, Mrs. Elizabeth Leer, and Mr. Howard Evans, lead us into a differ- ent world as we study fantasies, plays, and short stories. American authors and their masterpieces are studied, and English authors from Chaucer to Galsworthy intrigue us. Learning lines from these great works has been fun, and we will re- call these mental iewels many times during our lives. Goethe once said, He who does not know a foreign language, does not know his own. The Spanish, Latin, and German taught at West Lafayette aid us in the understand- ing of our English language. spanish W. L. Spanish students proved themselves good correspondents by writing letters to students of their own age, who live in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. The Spanish flag which now adorns Mrs. Gladys lsaac's class- room was sent to our school as a gift from our Spanish amigos. When they were not writing let- ters, los classes del Espanol kept busy studying Spanish customs. Lat- in American songs were also of in- terest to the students. latin Quo Vadis? If you are going into the field of medicine, law or science, the study of Latin is impor- tant. Latin, the basis of many Eng- lish words, helps us to better under- stand our own language. All year the young Romans CW. L. varietyj looked forward to their an- nual Roman banquet. A typical Ro- man meal was served by members of the first year Latin class. Then these slaves provided entertain- ment for the other students and Miss Belle Coulter, instructor. german German is essentially a study of German grammar. The objectives of the course are to teach the rudi- ments of the German language, and to instill the underlying principles of German grammar, 'leading to the ability of the students to read and possibly to speak simple German. Records, tape recordings, the use of charts for vocabulary building, and German movies all help to make Mr. Chester Eddy's course interesting. social studies Page 38 Our first taste of social studies occurred in our sophomore year when we studied world history under the guidance of Mr. Chester Eddy. We began in the dim past and traced the development of ancient man and early civilizations. We covered Western Asia, Greece, Rome, the Feudal Age, the Thirty Years' War, the French Revolution, and many other important places and events. At the end of the year we had finished World War I and were studying the causes of the second World War. Mr. David March took us back over the impor- tant events and people of our country in his United States history course. Starting with the study of the Indians, the course continued through Truman's ad- ministration. The writing of our final thesis, based on the life of a promi- nent figure in the history of the United States, was a great experience for all of us. Finances, budgets, labor problems, and the like were all a part of our economics course during the first semester of our senior year. In- structors for this course were Mrs. Gladys Isaac, Mr. William Berberian, and Mr. David March. This subject will aid us later in life as we take our places in the mod- ern business world. With Mr. March and Mr. Berberian as our in- structors for civics, we learned numerous facts about the way in which the United States is gov- erned. By starting with local forms of govern- ment and building up to the study of the nation- al government, we received a good over-all view of the American way of life. Our education was supplemented by movies, lectures, guest speakers, and outside reports. sciences Remember the summer that was spent collecting bugs, and how our biology instructor, Mr. Kenneth Bush, graded us on our fine-looking group of specimens from the insect world? Freshman biology classes were great fun to all of us. We even enioyed the bird walks. Then in our junior year came phys- ics. Under the supervision of Miss Mary Bushong, we learned of types of ma- chinery and amazing physical changes we had never thought possible. Watch- ing pulleys operate was always of in- terest to everyone. The amazement that comes through the discovery of how and why things behave as they do makes physics a course one to be re- membered. HBO . . the first compound we studied in chemistry. Later on, we learned many new compounds and had fun preparing them in the lab . Remember all those broken test tubes and the trip to Purdue to see the atom smashers? With Miss Mary Bushong as our teacher, we learned many things about our Earth and the elements of which it is composed. mathematics As we look back over four years of math courses, we remember how diffi- cult it seemed at times. Now we realize that, in a sense, it was fun. Every prob- lem was a challenge, and every prob- lem solved was an achievement. Algebra class found us studying about factoring, square roots, loga- rithms, and progressions. In geometry we memorized the theorems govern- ing planes and solids. Everyone re- members the exasperating construction problems on Fridays. As seniors we were sufficiently educated to discuss logs, cosines, and tangents in our trig- onometry class. In trig we also went out-of-doors with a tripod and com- pass and did a bit of surveying. An- other course, general math, was added this year with Mr. Allendorph as its instructor. Mr. Donald Fites, Miss Mary Bu- shong, Mr. Kenneth Bush, and Mr. Louis Allendorph have given us a good back- ground in mathematics that will be useful to us in business, college, and everyday living. Pune 39 Page 40 home economics Future homemakers can be found in our school's home economics kitchens. The delicious foods prepared there are of interest to all the students in the foods department. Freshman foods is a course in efficiency, economy, and food values. At the first of the semester these cooks prepare breakfast and by the end of the semester, they find them- selves dining on full course dinners. Juniors and seniors taking advanced foods learn to eat new foods, to pre- pare and serve food attractively, and to recognize various cuts of meat. Social relations is another home eco- nomics course open primarily to seniors at West Side. Etiquette and psychology are taught to the students. A stitch in time saves nine could be applied to the sewing class. The sewing machines are kept quite busy as the girls make very attractive wear- ing apparel. Mrs. Ruth Hamlin is in charge of our home economics department. commercial The commercial department of our school has two primary obiectives: its vocational contribution and a personal- use contribution. In achieving the voca- tion obiective, students are trained to become competent in their ability to write shorthand, to transcribe mailable letters, to operate a typewriter and other business machines efficiently, and to keep and interpret properly busi- ness records and reports. An office practice course is being offered to stu- dents who wish to integrate their type- writing, shorthand, and bookkeeping skills so as to better perform the duties in a businessvoffice. The personal-use values of business education are very prevalent in our modern economic society as business is an integral part of our daily living and environment. The uses of the typewrit- er have grown in recent years because of its practical value. All commercial courses are taught by Mr. Henry Paloncy. art i953 found the art classes quite busy. Posters, football and basketball schedules for store windows, decora- tions for dances, and programs for convocations were all provided by W.L.'s young artists. We appreciate Mrs. Gwen Hammer, our art teacher, who is always ready to lend a helping hand. Students could be found working with clay, water colors, leather, lino- leum blocks, charcoal, and oils. Many masterpieces produced by the use of the above materials could often be seen adorning the east bulletin board. When spring approached, art students were found roaming about the out-of- doors looking for something to sketch. industrial arts Some of the finest metal equipment in the state can be found in our own shop. Grinding tools, hand tools, metal lathes, and drill presses all help to make our shop an up-to-the-minute one. Working with these tools helps the boys to gain a better knowledge of this mechanized world in which we live. Mr. Joseph Konigsmark aids the stu- dents while they work with metals or wood. Across the hall from the shop is the mechanical drawing room. The me- chanical drawing program includes machine drawing layouts, lettering, lin- ing, perspective, and freehand sketch- ing. physical education Two years of physical education are required for all West Lafayette High School students. The girls receive their training under the guidance of Miss Bernice Fites. They may participate in such activities as softball, soccer, archery, track, bas- ketball, and volley ball. Home nursing, taught by Mrs. Ruth Hamlin, is also in- cluded in this course. Mr. Gordon Straley keeps a watch- ful eye on the boys while they engage in games of football, baseball, and basketball. Health and safety is a re- quired subiect for boys. Drivers' Training also comes under the heading of physical education. This is the most thrilling course offered at West Lafayette. Page 1,1 orchestra Last January the West Side Orchestra picked up its belongings and left! There was no cause for alarm, however, for they were just moving to their new headquarters in the auditorium. There they rehearsed on Mondays and Wednesdays under more advantageous conditions. Many less-talented students who were used to being serenaded during their fifth-hour studies found it hard to concentrate without a musical background. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Marshall Howenstein, this group of 45 musicians has become widely recognized as a gifted and spirited musical organization. This year the orchestra sent representatives to the All-State Orchestra which presented a pro- gram for the indiana State Teachers' Association in Indianapolis last October. Several orchestra members participated in the solo and ensemble contest at Frankfort. They also made a fine showing at the Spring Concert of West Lafayette's musical organizations. The orchestra presented a convocation for the school this spring which was greatly enjoyed by the entire student body. This year, for the first time in W. L. history, the orchestra played for com- mencement exercises in the gymnasium. We all appreciate the efforts of our orchestra. ROW 1: M. A. Freeman, M. Myers, J. Walerstein, P. Cable, M. Liste, S.

This year's maiorettes were Bev Beck, Mary Brown, Karen Lister, and Connie Bolds. Carolyn Milligan served as alternate. The band added a gay note to the basketball games held in the new gym. This organization, under the direction of Mr. Marshall Howenstein, played at the annual Spring Concert. They also took part in the Armed Forces Day Parade and other special parades. W. Shigley, R.

Sessions of the Council met on the second and fourth Monday of each month, under the sponsor- ship of Mr. David March, to discuss problems related to the school and methods for remedying such prob- lems. The conclusions brought about at meetings are referred to the faculty by representatives of the Coun- cil who attend certain faculty meetings. The West La- fayette Student Council is affiliated with the National Association of Student Councils. Each member of the organization serves on one of four committees. The Convocation Committee, headed by Elaine Cummins, meets with faculty mem- bers to plan the year's convocations. Joan Van Buskirk served as chairman of the Drives Committee. Funds for various charitable organizations are col- lected from the student body by means of this com- mittee. The Ways and Means Committee, with Carole Hudlow in charge, takes care of all financial proiects. Dick Cochran headed the Entertainment Committee, which arranges for all social events concerning the Council. Barry Elkin was in charge of the coke machine. Page 1,8 Standing: J. Mollenkopf.

The members of Hi-Y served as ushers at football and basketball games. They planned and published foot- ball and basketball programs which were presented free to spectators at all W. L. athletic contests. Through the eFforts of Hi-Y, a special souvenir program was presented at the dedication of the new gym. Hi-Y boys sold cokes at all of the basketball games. Representatives from our club attended the State Older Boys' Conference at Anderson in November. March 31st marked the date of the District Conference held in West Lafayette. Inspiration was gained at these meetings for carrying out the club creed, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character. Social affairs enjoyed were the annual Hi-Y Dance which took place in the school cafeteria on March 7th. The traditional entertainment by the iuniors was in the form of humorous skits. On March 10th the boys were hosts to their mothers at the Mother-Son ban- quet. A picnic concluded the social events for the year. ROW 1: J. Heimlich, R. Knauer, R. Hesselberth, D.

It has offered its members soccer, swimming, archery, basketball, speedball, modern dancing, badminton, and bowling. A G.A.A. newsletter was started this year and was put out each month for the G.A.A. members. Several girls attended the state meeting at Camp Tecumseh in the fall to exchange ideas and plans with other clubs over the state. The archery team won first place in the Northern Indiana Archery Tournament, in competition with Huntington, La Porte, New Haven, and Ft. Wayne. The basketball team defeated Jefferson in February. G.A.A. sponsored bowling was held in the Purdue Union Building on Saturday mornings. Bowling pins were given for individual awards and charms to the members of the winning team. Awards are given to members of G.A.A. for points earned in activities: class numerals, 150 points, a W.L. monogram, 250 points, and a state award, 350 points.

This recreational center is self-supporting and is not a part of the school. The Den provides a period of relaxation on Tuesday nights and Thurs- day afternoons. The trend this year seemed to be centered on movies rather than on ping-pong tournaments and dancing contests. Many feature length movies were shown. Some of these were Enchanted Forest and Lost Horizon. Also meeting with high approval was The Green Archer, a mystery serial. Mr. Chester Eddy and Mr. Kenneth Bush are the sponsors and chaperones of the Den. Aiding the officers and sponsors in the Den's functions is a Den Board made up of twenty-six members. Any student in school who pays the membership fee of one dollar a semester may belong to the Den and participate in its varied and entertaining activities. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Eddy, Den officers Paula Alexander, vice-president, Dick Cochran, president, Bev Beck, treasurer, and Marie Lipham, secretary, shoot a game. f. e. c. Organized seven years ago, the Technical Equip- ment Crew today numbers about fifteen carefully trained members. These boys, chosen for qualities of scholarship, personal responsibility and interest in electronic apparatus, have as their duty the care and operation of all the various electrical and elec- tronic equipment in use every day throughout the West Lafayette High School system. Among other things, the T.E.C. member operates the movie proiector, makes records, runs the tape recorder for language and speech classes, sets up public address systems for pep sessions and convos, operates the scoreboard at football and basketball games, and handles all lighting equipment for plays and other productions. As new equipment is added each year, crew responsibilities increase. This year found the T.E.C. under the able direc- tion of Mr. Joseph Konigsmark. It also found the auditorium-gymnasium completed. With its master lighting panel and all its other excellent new facili- ties, it proved, in addition, a valuable and interest- ing training ground for the boys of T.E.C.

An issue of the Scarlette begins to take form when articles are assigned to reporters on the various staffs. A knowledge of iuiitsu comes in quite handy when the editors attempt to secure the reporters' articles on the deadline date. Since articles never need to be rewritteni?J, head- lines are put on the copy, and it then goes to the printer, The Lafayette Leader. The Scarlette is then proofread before it is finally sent to press. Co-editors, Jack Mollenkopf and Joyce Bixler, associate editors, Tom Dowling and Pete McClure, and business manager, Barbara Dodds, put out thirteen Scarlette issues this year. Lending their ideas were the staFf editors. They were: Joan Beeson and Bob Hesselberth, news, Carole Hudlow and Elaine Cummins, features, Richard Bauman and Dale Snelling, sports, Carolyn Evans and Jackie Kissell, circulation, Ralph Johansen, advertising, and Norma Huron, art. Mr. Howard Evans served as adviser. Scarlette highlights included a double Christmas issue in magazine form, complete with a Santa Claus cover, and an April Fool issue which proiected itself twenty years into the future. lt was with regret that the senior editors sent their last issue to press on May 8.

Glenn Alexander shot many of the other photographs.

They did. Remember the announcements, Bring your snaps for the annual? Mary Jo Logan and Jim Eaton, as layout editors, made up snap pages. About this time, the circulation staff, under Edith Corley and Donna Wilson, began to function, pur- suing you until you bought your book. ln March we began to write. Bob Luzadder, Linda Siskind, Muriel Robinson, Joyce Bixler, Lois Lath- rope, Ann Taylor and Joan Beeson gave assign- ments to their staffs and the copy began to pour in.

McClure, Notzold, Bauman, Freeman, junior play The first play given in the new auditorium was appropriately a new play, Follow the Dream. lm- pressionistic staging fitted well with the many scenes in the play. Starting on the eve of her wedding-day, the story re-lives the friendships and romance in the life of Joan Cameron, portrayed by Ruth Walerstein. Joan's high school days, when she meets lively Ricky Alver- ado, a native of Peru, where she spent her childhood, and Spike Harrison, a typical U. S. athlete, are re- enacted in Joan's memory. Barry Elkin, as Ricky, com- peted equally with Spike, portrayed by Randy Lingle, for Joan's affections. The play continues through their college days and the outbreak of the second World War. Joan's parents, enacted by Marilyn Ridgley and Ross Frazier, comfort her when both boys ioin the fight, but cannot choose one for her to marry. The play reaches a climatic finish when the death of Joan's brother, played by Randy Balyeat, is announced. Joan turns to Spike for comfort thus revealing her choice. Karen Lister, Dorothy Neisz, and Fay Follett were outstanding as Joan's friends. Directed by Mrs. Harriett Mueller, with Mrs. Elizabeth Leer as technical director, the play was a fitting close to a week of dedicatory exercises for the new building. speech arfs play l could have sworn l saw a ghost! Of course you did if you saw the Speech Arts play, Sight Unseen, a ghostly comedy in three acts. From the moment the curtain rose we were on the edge of our seats and remained there until the final curtain. The play took place in Barnsley, the ancestral manor house of the Elliot family, located in England. Young Lady Judith, Gretchen Counsman, and her fiance, Archibald Andrew, Chuck Todd, are trying to sell the manor. This infuriates the ghosts of her ancestors, the General, Tom Dowling, Lady Hortense Elliot, Joan Van Buskirkp and Lady Penelope Elliot, Joyce Bixler, who have been inhabiting the house for several cen- turies. Therefore, they have succeeded in scaring away all of the prospective buyers except Mrs. Millicent Malone, Lois Lathrope, who doesn't mind psychic forces. The ghosts don't wish to be studied by Mrs. Malone so they fail to appear. This enrages Judith because she has become attracted to Mrs. Malone's nephew, Henry, portrayed by Jack Mollenkopf. After one of the ghosts tries to strangle Mrs. Malone she decides not to buy the house, and this ends the play. Mrs. Harriett Mueller directed the play, while the technical aspects of the play were under the supervi- sion of Miss Ruth Sinks.

Gifts of bracelets were presented to the queen and her attendants by pages Virginia Lehker and Mary Lou Marshall.

After a second half surge by the iron men, the Devils came out on top 'I5-0. Touchdowns were scored by Kurtz and Nicol. The line was in tip-top form and played a ster- ling game. LOGANSPORT-An opening minute touchdown by the Berries set the Devils to work engineering a 32-7 victory. Touchdowns by end Klinger and hard-running backs, Herb Miller and Dave Kurtz, aided by Nicol's passing, proved enough to beat a determined Logans- port team. After the rough skirmish there were two iniured players, .lack Nicol and Duane Perigo. BROAD RIPPLE-A highly-rated group of Ripple football players gave West Side a good battle at Leslie Field. Both Herbie Miller and Dave Kurtz scored touchdowns. An ex-West Side football star, Tom Welton, and Mayvard Poland ran the Rocket offense. After an even first half, the Devils sewed the game up in the fourth quarter. CRAWFCRDSVILLE-West Lafayette, with the excel- lent help of Kurtz, Strobel, and Nicol, proved to be too much to hold back in spite of the best defensive efforts of the Athenians. When the smoke cleared, the Devils were on top, 27-7. The line, as well as the backs, gave the fans a good showing in this typical game. WASHINGTON-A large crowd, a determined Wash- ington football team, and West Side's brilliant playing made the Washington game one to remember. John Woods' extra points provided the two point margin necessary for victory. This thrilling game ended with a 'I4-T2 win for West Side. As a result of our five-game winning streak, we were voted among the well re- garded in the A. P. weekly poll. RENSSELAER-Our winning streak was held intact by a 27-O victory over the Rensselaer Bombers. The game was highlighted by Jack Nicol, who showed well in both offense and defense. He scored twice, running an intercepted pass for one tally and a power plunge for the other, Other scores were registered by Klinger and Miller. DELPHI-Victory was once more ours as the team rolled over the Oracles to register its seventh win. West Side's spirits rode high that week as they remained one of the few undefeated teams in the state. Nicol again did an excellent job as did the line, led by Dale Snelling and John Heimlich. Scoring in the game were Kurtz, Strobel, Woods, and Nicol. LEFT: The Devils trot out onto the field before the Jeff game. RIGHT: A glimpse of dressing room blues at halftime. Page 66 ROW 1: M.

A spectacular touchdown was made on the opening kickoff by the Nightowls, who scored again in the fourth quarter to win. De- fense again reigned, as only three touchdowns and one extra point were scored. Kurtz and Woods scored West Side's seven points. JEFFERSON-The Jeff-West Side game was a real thriller, as usual. The hard-fought tussle resulted in a 7-7 deadlock, leaving West Side with a 7-1-1 record and Jeff with a 7-2-1 record. The line, with Jenkins, Heimlich, Perigo, Klinger, Smith, and Anderson, and the backs, led by Snelling, Nicol, Kurtz, Miller, and Knauer, provided the best game of the year. A good run by Snelling for a score, a missed field goal try C?j, and a touchdown by LeBegue, of Jeff, made up the scenario of the battle. RECORD OF SEASON L' OPPONENT W.L.

The sophomores were: George Gilchrist, Bill Huron, Ernie Beck, Eb Anderson, John Manhart, Jim Shenber- ger, Ronnie Roberts, and Bill Shigley. The freshmen were Bob Backoff, Keith Wagner, Gary Underhill, and Jim Rogers. The B team won a thriller against Klondike when Bill Huron sank a shot from the field in the second overtime.

Our cheer leaders were also kept busy planning and supervising the pep sessions before the games, Several new ideas for these pep sessions were used, the new gym gave these, as well as the games, an added attraction.

The golf team, under the direction of Mr. Donald Fites, may be found practicing on clear days at the Purdue Golf Course. Lacking three strokes in order to qualify for the state tournament last year, the team is looking forward to matches with Washington and Broad Ripple of Indianapolis.

Although the squad did not win any of its matches, it could not be said that it was a season of defeat, as the boys gained much in experience and in the knowledge of wrestling. ROW 'l: L. Foster, T.
