Q 'i 1 1 I i A I xg7 ,,,, ,, , , THE OPEN DOOR OF '54 All through our school years We have been given opportunities to prove ourselves scho- lastically, physically, artistically, and socially. In high school especially, our abilities have been nourished and encouraged by our coun- selors and parents until we have developed a foundation firm enough to carry us on in the world ahead. THE OPEN DOOR OF '54 applies not only to the seniors who stand on the threshold of a new and exciting future, but to the freshmen entering our high school. They will be guided by those who have guided us, but they, too, must decide for themselves What channels to follow. During this year they have been a part of this molding process and have been given OPPORTUNITIES . . . P11176 5 W. L. fans enjoying a mixer after a thrilling game.

Den night is fun night at W. L. E Q TO ACCEPT RE SPONSIBILITIE S As we entered through the OPEN DOOR of high school as freshmen, we found ourselves ac- cepting responsibility as commit- tee members . . . later on we headed these committees . . . finally as juniors and seniors We served as officers of various clubs and organizations .... Student Council taught us the meaning of responsibility to the whole school, not just our special organization. . . . Although it was work, we had fun and, at the same time, learned to cooperate with others. P11110 10 Student Council members working on the new Student Service.

We are proud of our PEOPLE. Page 1 THE STUDIOUS AND SOPHISTICATED I remember when . . . Dick Smith came to kindergarten with a bowl haircut and we took naps on little rugs .... In first grade Mr. Allen offered tap and ballet lessons and we had many budding Pavlovas in our midst .... Finger painting and those orderly trips to the restroom occupied most of our time .... Second grade introduced us to Miss Irwin's pointer cmd Mr. Ellerbrook's imaginary paddling ma- chine .... The following year the girls were terrorized by the boys' kissing sprees behind the teacher's back, and on his second day in W. L. Ross Frazier was warned by a policeman for running a stop sign on his bicycle. Miss Kent's bubble gum contests were the talk of the fourth grade .... Moving upstairs was quite a thrill and monitors really added prestige. . . . Miss Daniel's wedding was undoubtedly the biggest social event of the fifth grade .... Parties in Mrs. Morris' apart- ment were a thrill for some of us .... Our Girl Senior officers: D. Harlan. president: A. Liston. vice- president: B. Dodds, secretary: M. Freeman. treasurer: Mrs. Gladys Isaac, sponsor. Pugf? 18 Scout troop was the largest in Morton's history and we easily wore out five leaders .... Jimmy Gibson became rather tearful over the mis- understood departure of the sixth grade teacher. Mrs. Bozell, and at Mr. Davis' class picnic, Walter Stuart had to be fished out of the pond .... In Iunior High, we were initiated into Mr. Curtis' top row and Club 7 .... Mr. Stamm's moron jokes and picture murder stories were characteristics of English class .... Baseball games at Lister's followed by free-for-all wres- tling matches were our favorite pastime .... Mrs. Gowdy's Freedom Pageant involved all in patriotic activities and our eighth grade basketball team won the city championship. . . . At our final picnic, not only did it rain, but it poured, hailed and blew the worst hurricane seen here for years. The long walk up the hill was our first taste of high school life, followed by bug col- lections, basement lockers, outdoor biology gardens, and club initiations .... Bev's slumber CU party after the Ieff game will long be remembered by all the freshman girls Cespe- cially at 4 A.M. when senior boys came in through the windowD .... As sophomores we danced in the back yard at Ruthie's Planet Party and woke all the neighbors .... Carolyn's open house was extended when her brother, plus friends, trooped in at five A.M .... our junior year found us busy as officers and sub- editors of many school organizations appren- ticing ourselves for higher positions .... The hanger drive on an extremely wet day was an example of un-organization plus! . . . this year we'll remember the impromptu Senior Convo, the inspiring Honor Society Convo and the Salty Dogs at the Golddiggers' Ball .... The fun, the disappointments, the honors- these memories we will have with us for years to come. P. ALEXANDER I. ANDERSON B. BECK S. BIBLE D. BOSSUNG L.

UIET SENIORS AT WORK Every class has expenses and we were no exception. A Ways and Means Committee was set up to discuss them and work out ways and means of raising funds to meet them. These expenses included such activities as the Annual and Gala Week. Projects arranged by the Ways and Means Committee for raising the neces- sary funds included selling parking space to spectators of the Notre Dame-Purdue football game, class dues, and, of course, the Senior Class Play. Efficiently heading the committee was David Risk. assisted by Iohn Woods, Randy Lingle, Tom Anderson, Mary Brown, Nancy Cox, lim Gibson, Tom Harshbarger, Karen Lister, and Pete Weiler. Committees on Invitations and Name Cards were appointed and assigned specific duties. The Invitations Committee, headed by Dorothy Neisz, ordered the commencement invitations which they selected. Other members of the committee were Pat Knicklebine and Ernestine Lake. The Name Cards Committee, composed of Ann Liston and Carolyn Evans, accepted orders for individual name cards. Committees appointed to select and arrange senior entertainment projects were the Play Reading and the Convo Committees. The Play Reading Committee was responsible for select- ing the Senior Class Play. After many hours of reading and discussing the problems and pos- sibilities of various manuscripts, the committee, headed by Ruth Walerstein, chose the comedy, Father of the Bride. Other members of this committee were Tom Dowling and Ianet Eaton. The Senior Convo will be remembered by the whole school as a masterpiece of originality, confusion, and delightful entertainment. Co- chairmen of this committee were Madonna Dienhart and Barry Elkin. Nearly everyone in the class contributed ideas, talent and effort toward the success of the Convo. Gala Week proved to be the most memorable week of our high school career. Plans and ideas originated with Ann Liston and her committee consisting of Don Dienhart, Fay Follett, Dave Kurtz, Cay Graney, Ann Freehafer, Harold Sabbagh, Randy Balyeat, Karen Lister, and Ernestine Lake. Gala Week was climaxed by graduation. and no graduation is complete without the traditional cap and gown. Duties of the Caps and Gowns Committee included obtaining measurements of all the seniors and then plac- ing orders correctly. Members of this year's Caps and Gowns Committee were Bruce Smith. Eugene Lee, Barbara Chastain, and Mary Iean Peterson. Pugr' 25 Iunior officers: C. Arden, secretary: Miss Bushong, sponsor: I. Manhart, treasurer: S. McNear, vice-president: B. Huron. president. The J aunty and J ubilant E Puyf' 20 Seniors won't have to worry about the capa- bility of their successors. Here's proof of what the juniors can do! Bill Huron did his job well as class president by conducting the meetings and overseeing all activities with vice president Sandra McNear close at his heels. Carol Arden was secretary and Iohn Manhart treasurer of the class. Iohn's position for next year was established when he and George Gilchrist were elected co-captains of the '54 football squad. AHEA offices were held by Mary Lou Mar- shall, vice-president: Carolyn Little, treasurer, and Cathy Tiffin, Sandy McNear, lane Evers, and Sonya Stewart serving on the executive board. Liz Beeson, lane Iamison, Betsy Ran- dolph, and Mimi Cohen were members of the Girls' Club executive board. Den board vice- president Ginger Lehker was assisted by Paula Moriarty, secretary. Varsity and B team cheerleaders Betsy Ran- dolph, Iane Iamison, Phyllis Fryer, and Marsha Herrick spurred our teams on to victories. Mimi Cohen was a member of the Student Council and Associate editors of the Scarlette were Betty Baruth and Chuck Todd. Chuck also had a lead in the class play, Growing Pains, along with Cathy Tiffin and Bob Miller, and played the part of Browning in The Bar- retts of Wimpole Street. Basketball and football court candidates Betsy Randolph, Phyllis Fryer, Gretchen Counsman, and Linda Seaton added to Iunior activities. Gretchen was vice-president of Speech Arts Club and Linda, Iunior representative. ' E. Stuck I. Allen E. Anderson C. Arden t K. Baker t D. Barrett B. Baruth E. Beck E. Beeson . D. Bruce A. Buche - G.

Iust on the verge of being upper classmen, some of the sophomores held high honors in school. Derek Sharvelle was photography editor for the school paper and Scarlette circulation editors were Karen Farmer and Marcia Stacker. Bob Backoif was Student Council represen- tative and Bette Speaker was elected B team cheerleader for a second year. The sophomore delegate for Speech Arts was Peggy Cable. Karen Ullstrup was in the one act play, Grey Bread, and served on the play reading com- mittee. Susan Risk kept the minutes of all Ahea meetings as secretary while active Den Board members Molly Loop, Iohn Belinfante, Ginger Vaught, and Iane Conkright helped make the Den a success. Karen Ullstrup and Karen Farmer repre- sented the sophomores on the football and bas- ketball queen's court, respectively. Congratulations go to letter winners Chip Hol- comb, Chuck Edmundson, Mike McFadden, Dave Selby, and Thurman Brown. Bruce Sherwood, cello player, and Iudy New- lin on the piano were state winners in the Solo and Ensemble Contest at Indianapolis. THE FRESH AND F RENZIED The frosh took a fling and got in every- thing! Iust because they finally made the grade and landed at W. L. High School didn't make the class of '57 self-conscious, except for those first few days. George Lang and Patti Peyton were elected freshman delegates to Student Coun- cil and Speech Arts, respectively. Bill Bayley and Ronny Cosper helped on the stage crew for Grey Bread, a Speech Arts production in which Patti was cast. Deviltries participants were Suzie Wise- logel, Betsy Kemmer, Barbara Messersmith, Donna Lascoe, Iane Bardwell, Patti Peyton, and Mary Dienhart. Scarlette Christmas contest winners from the freshman class included Iohn Bachman, Melvin Lambertson, and Eleanor Sisson. Mike Liste represented his class at the State Orchestra Meet and played in the Solo and Ensemble Contest, as did Betsy Kemmer, Susie Wiselogel, and Scott Bolz. Promising sports participants were Bill Haw, Iohn Taylor, Evan Mounds, Bill Davis. and Mike Lockard while Patti Peyton as B-team yell-leader cheerefi them on. ROW 1: I. Chapman, I. Bardwell, L.

Mr. William Floyd V.I.P. As the chief executive officer of the Board of School Trustees, Mr. Floyd, superintendent of West Lafayette schools, is responsible for the supervision of our three schools. The super- intendent makes recommendations to the Board for the betterment of the schools. This year Mr. Floyd is confronted with the need for raising money to build an additional elementary school, to develop the school grounds, and to establish a baseball diamond. He is constantly striving to have finer schools for the children of the community. Miss Pearl Adams EFFICIENCY PLUS Need some money? Miss Pearl Adams has it but chances are slim that she will give you a loan. All financial affairs of the school includ- ing class, club, and publication accounts are kept in perfect order by her. As the official school clerk, Miss Adams is also in charge of the cafeteria money, is secre- tary to Mr. Floyd and the School Board, and assists in the mathematical complications of preparing the school budget. At all times she is the perfect example of accuracy and de- pendability. BORED OF EDUCATION Puyc Mr. Moriarty, the newest member of the West Lafayette School Board, said, A member quickly finds out that his work is an extension of the parents' care into the school. The Board prides itself on representing the interests of the parents and citizens of West Lafayette by studying carefully the school problems and bring- ing them to parents' committees and P.T.A. meetings. Under the direction of the president, Karl Kettelhut, the Board holds its meetings twice a month. I. Henry Law, the vice- president, and Iohn Moriarty, secretary, complete the school board membership. Mr. Carl Hammer HEAD MAN On returning from Stanford Univer- sity after furthering his studies for a doc- torate in education, Mr. Carl Hammer again took up his duties as principal of our school. A familiar figure around school, Mr. Hammer is always willing to counsel us and help solve our problems. As seniors, we especially rely on him for information concerning class standings, number of credits, summer jobs, and future schooling. Mr. Hammer's interest in our students certainly doesn't stop at 3:00 when the final bell rings. A loyal W. L. Booster, he rarely misses any of our sports events and chaperones many of our dances. In addition to his regular duties, he also teaches a senior math class during the first semester. Always on his toes, Mr. Hammer helps us manage our activities more efficiently and smoothly. The Class of '54 wishes to express its appreciation to a man who has con- stantly displayed his interest in each individual's welfare and continually works to improve our school. INF QRMATION CENTER These are the morning announcements, she says with a slight accent and all the stu- dents perk up. This We heard from Mrs. Myra Martin, originally from England. As the office secretary the first semester, she was amazed at the free and easy attitude of our students around school. Mrs. Martin had only time enough to work three afternoons a week in Mr. Floyd's office the second semester. Replacing her in the office was Mrs. Betty Saunders, who came here with her husband who is now enrolled at Purdue. Originally from Michigan State College. Top picture: Mrs. Betty Saunders.

Be- member those ten minute speeches and ora- tions? They really took work but how pleased we were when we got that well deserved 1-X. Debates, forums, and pantomimes all help to make speech class an interesting course. Field trips such as attending the Purdue Legis- lative Assembly and Debate Conference and a tour through WBAA add spice to the class. Many of us appear on the radio program Citizens of Tomorrow Speak where we de- NOT TO BE bate on social and political problems of the day. In dramatics we learn what goes on back- stage plus what it takes to make a good play. We are given chances to portray many types of roles and learn about theatrical background. Special projects such as scrapbooks, miniature stages, play reviews, and costume designs show much ingenuity. Our speech study under the guidance of Mrs. Harriett Mueller will always be of great value to us. Freshmen always get good grades? Mrs. Elizabeth Leer Page JM TO SUM IT ALL UP The Monday Morning Blues are sometimes found in English 8. Those Monday themes loom large to every student, but by the end of the year we realize that the best way to learn English is to use it. This course is designed to orientate the student for college. It provides a review of all the English courses taught in the high school and further stresses the com- position phase of English. Hard work is necessary in this English course, and the apex of all the semester's work is reached toward the end of the year when all are required to write a research theme. This project is designed to teach the student to use the library intelligently in gathering material. This course, taught by Miss Sinks, will long be remembered as one ot the most valuable at W. L. In senior English literature we devoted our time to studying and reading such well known English authors as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Stevenson, and Shaw. Now, I want to make this clear! Mrs. Harriett Mueller SHAKESPEARE, GERUNDS, and TABLOIDS Introduction to high school English and Shakespeare are almost synonymous. The study of Midsummer Night's Dream is an important episode in the first year English course, taught by Mrs. Leer. This course gives us a rudimentary background in English and literature. As sophomores Miss Sinks explains such grammatical necessities as transitive and intransitive verbs, and under the tutelage of Mr. Evans and Miss Sinks, we read such works as Iulius Caesar and Silas Marner. Under Mrs. Mueller and Mrs. Leer we learn about clauses, phrases, gerunds, and participles. In the second semester we study such varied American authors as Steinbeck and Emerson. This year the new developmental reading course was inaugurated to increase our read- ing ability. For the third year, journalism has been offered as an elective. Writing news and fea- ture stories and editorials became habitual. Many newspapers and magazines are cut to pieces in making the scrapbooks required for passing the course. Tours of The Lafayette Leader, Iournal and Courier, and The Indian- apolis Star-News Building are educational. This year the class was on a radio program in ln- dianapolis, and Mr. Evans won grand prize. Pu yr' J J COSINE 30O:fg In any technical community mathematics must be an im- portant academic course. As freshmen we learned about equations in algebra from Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Fites, Mr. Dennis Courtaney, or Mr. Bush. Mr. Fites taught Plane Geometry and helped make tangents and angles interesting to us. We also got out first instruction in the use of a slipstick from him. Intermediate and College Algebra were taught by Mr. Bush, Miss Bushong, and Mr. Fites. In Solid Geometry we learned about planes and di- mensions while sines and co- sines were covered in trigonom- etry. Mr. Fites and Mr. Hammer taught these courses. Seniors studying volumes Mr. Donald Fites BIRDS, BUGS, and BOTANY Of all the types of hunting practiced in Indiana doubtless the least popular with our freshmen is bug hunting. The search often carries our cub over hill and dale in search of odd specimens. Biology is an outdoor field, and, as taught by Mr. Bush, it is also an outdoor subject. Besides the insect collections, the pro- Buqs' Imsectsl gram includes student gardens in the spring. and bird walks. There is also usually a sampling of animal life in the classroom which can be seen and occasionally smelled by the whole school. We learn much about living things from Mr. Bush's well planned course. Mr . Kenneth Bush my .cf..3,Ni ia, ' Wwe -K -f ' ' IT MAY BE H2S, BUT IT SMELLS LIKE ROTTEN EGGS TO ME What's brewirf? Miss Mary Bushong What a surprise it was when we learned that we were made up mostly of space with a few molecules thrown in. We learned this from Miss Bushong who teaches Physics and Chemistry at West Lafayette. Along with the molecular theory we learned about heat, light, sound, and had a gay time Working the pulleys when we studied simple machines. We got our jolts out of electricity, too. Everyone had a big time generating electricity with the static elec- tricity machine. By reading and experiment we acquired a knowledge of the principles of physics. Chemistry is a close relative of physics: the two are complementary in modern science. To the uninitiated, CO2 and HQSO4 look like alpha- bet soup, but they hold no terrors for the chem- istry student, who studies the chemical con- struction of our planet. Despite the broken test tubes and occa- sionally odoriferous laboratory, chemistry is a course we will remember and value. Page 37 Top picture: Mrs. Gladys Isaac. Bottom picture: Mr. Spanish jukebox Chester Eddy. The voice you now hear . . SUMMA CUM LAUDE Latin at W. L. is by no means a dead lan- guage, as Miss Coulter makes it come alive with her own ways of teaching. About once every two weeks the halls are filled with voices chanting some strange words to familiar tunes. It's only the Latin classes singing the songs Miss Coulter has changed from English to Latin. This course is offered four years to students interested. The first year is mainly the study of vocabularies, Latin expressions, and short stories. The second, third, and fourth years are spent studying Caesar, Roman mythology, Virgil, Cicero, and Aeneas. Also movies are shown to point out further howl the Romans lived. When Miss Coulter was in Europe, she l'r1yrf3S took many interesting pictures of Roman sights which she shares with her classes. Among the things We learn are te amo means I love you, puer boy, and puella girl. Many English words are derived from Latin as are the romance languages: Spanish, French, and Italian. For the study of medicine. law, or chemistry it is an excellent background. The climax of the Latin year is the Roman Banquet given in the cafeteria. All classes par- ticipate dressing as Roman slaves, Senators. and townspeople. This year's chairmen were Cay Graney and lane Iamison. Freshmen serve as slaves and the second year students present a skit. EL ESPAICIOL Como esta usted? If you wander into a class taught by Mrs. Gladys Isaac and hear these words, you know you're in a Spanish class. For you non-Spanish-speaking people, this means How are you? Two years of Spanish are offered by West Lafayette High School, the first being devoted to fundamentals such as grammar, writing, pronunciation, and, because words are spelled almost exactly as they sound, learning to spell all over again. Surprisingly, many principles of grammar that are taught in Spanish classes come in handy in later English themes. During their second year Mrs. Isaac's stu- dents spend many class hours reading and translating Spanish stories and novels, and improving pronunciation. Also. a major product is writing letters to high school students in Spanish speaking countries. To improve their knowledge of the countries and everyday lives of their pen pals, students study and give reports on the customs and governments of our South American neighbors. Students are aided by movies spoken in Spanish or about Spanish countries and customs. A movie en- titled La Comida En Casa was a special attraction this year as it was produced and directed by Purdue University, and Ann Mc- Fadden, a junior high student, had a part in it. SIEGFRIED'S LAND If you should hear angelic voices lifted in beautiful song someday, it might not neces- sarily be the chorus. The German classes have acquired a repertoire of German songs which they sing whenever they can persuade the teacher, Mr. Chester N. Eddy. This is all part of the learning process. As Mr. Eddy says. Language is a living thing: it should be taught that way. To make the language more vital Mr. Eddy uses tape-recordings, movies, and a censored version of the German records em- ployed by the United States Army. The course is becoming increasingly pop- ular. This year is the first year the German class have been divided into two sections because of its record size. The first year German class concentrates on building a working vocabulary and master- ing some of the elements of German grammar. The emphasis is placed on reading German, particularly Heine, Schiller, Goethe and Ger- man history. A review of grammar is provided the first semester for those who have forgotten theirs over the summer. By using all the available modern techniques for teaching German to his classes, Mr. Eddy has fashioned a course that is not only useful but highly entertaining. German can be fun. Miss Belle Coulter Now, conjugate the verb duco. REMBRANDTS OF LESLIE AVE. Even if you think you have no talent at all in art, there is something to interest everyone in your art department. With the help of Mrs. Gwen Hammer, West Lafayette High School is turning out many prospective artists each year. Several awards have gone to Mrs. Hammer's pupils this year, including honors in poster contests. Carol Arden, a junior, was named the outstanding art student at Interlocken this past summer and also won a scholarship for next summer. Ann Schmiedicke, who has done much work in the field of fashion, received honors in a national design contest. You have probably noticed some of the beau- BOOKS, BOOKS .... For a good book, the library is always on hand to give you the best. This year the library has added over three hundred new books to its already well-stocked shelves. The Wilson Li- brary Cards, which were added to the card catalog, were also something new this year. The largest room on the main floor, the library, serves as a study hall and is kept open during the noon hour for study. Mr. Evans, in charge of the library, is assisted by six student librarians who are preparing themselves for this vocation. As assistants they gain knowledge of books and the functions of a library. Prryjf' L0 tifully sculptured objects of art Q?j decorating the East bulletin board from time to time. Also many girls are sporting handmade jewelry. These fields, along with ceramics and oil paint- ing, have been some of the most popular this year. Quite a few students have become inter- ested in modern art, and also in fashion draw- ing and portrait painting. The ingenuity, time, and talent of our bud- ding artists have gone into the decorations for most of the dances held this year. They also are responsible for the programs for convoca- tions and plays and the many posters you see advertising plays, dances, or athletic events. . and is yours overdue? The library always provides reference books and material for research and term papers. Many newspapers and most of the latest maga- zines provide students with the opportunity of catching up on current events or just reading for pleasure. There are exchange papers from other high schools over the state for use by students. Each year the best pictures taken by high school photographers are on display in the library. Over five hundred student librarians attended the Hoosier Student Library Assistants Con- ference here in October. Mr. Henry Paloncy And it gets the right answers, too. NOW IS THE TIME ..... Our commercial courses prepare W. L. stu- dents for jobs in business after graduation, college work, and part time jobs. Many of our students enroll in Typing, Shorthand, and Book- keeping and find them not only beneficial but interesting. Never to be forgotten are speed tests, drills, and dictation tests. Library, the study center for the school. w Another worthwhile commercial course is Gffice Practice, which is offered to students interested in working in business concerns. In this class, students study and use different business machines in order to prepare them for better jobs. All commercial courses are under the guidance of Mr. Henry Paloncy. Mr. Howard Evans Page .51 SAWDUST IN YOUR EYES Almost any hour of the day you can hear the busy hum of machines being used by the shop classes. Every boy Qand girlj has the opportunity at some time to take either shop or mechanical drawing. The shop classes, presided over by Mr. Fred Breckenridge, have a variety of the most mod- ern equipment available. Besides all of the many hand tools needed, the shop is equipped with two metal lathes, a power hack-saw, three drill presses, and many other power tools. Mr. Breckenridge encourages the shop stu- dents to undertake projects in which they work with metals. They start by working in the small foundry and progress through filing and drill- WHO'S BURIED IN Do you know: when the first pyramid was built: who wrote the Federalist Papers : how many members are on the Supreme Court? Any senior should be able to answer these questions after taking the social studies courses required at West Lafayette. Mr. Chester Eddy and Mrs. Gladys Isaac introduce us to world history as sophomores. Events from Marco Polo to Winston Churchill are covered, and historical moments come alive with records and reports. Starting with the founding of our govern- ment and proceeding to presidential adminis- ing to all the necessary steps. Boys who are especially interested in mechanics are given the opportunity to work on their cars during class hours, thus they gain practical experience in that field. The shop classes also build scen- ery and sets used in many school plays. In addition to shop, mechanical drawing is also offered. The students in this class start with elementary orthographic drawings, which show planes and surfaces of objects, and progress to more difficult types of work. With the training our students receive, many jobs in industry are open to them. If they plan to go to college, this training is also a big help in the courses they will take there. GRAN T'S TOMB? trations, Mr. David March leads the juniors through United States history. At the conclusion of the course each student's resourcefulness and ingenuity is challenged in the writing of his final thesis. Economics prepares the student for life in the modern business world. Labor problems and financial matters are covered in this senior course taught by Mr. March, Mrs. Isaac, and Mr. William Berberian. In Civics the formation and functions of our government are studied. Reports, guest speak- ers, and field trips add greatly to the course. Mr. David March Grant was born at a very early age. Mr. Fred Breckenridge Drilling-but not for oil. WHERE'S THAT GOOD Oh, that's the home economics foods class. lust think, they get to eat everything they make! But, are you sure they want to eat their own cooking? These are the typical remarks made by stu- dents as they pass the kitchen almost any hour of the day. Surprising as it may seem, Mrs. Mrs. Ruth Hamlin SMELL COMING FROM? Ruth Hamlin, the Home Economics instructor, has more aspiring boy cooks than girls. Don't think, though, that cooking is the only subject Mrs. Hamlin teaches. Sophomore girls are taught both home nursing and child care. Also, our Home Economics department offers classes in clothing for junior and senior girls, and a class in social relations. Soup's on!

He co-ordinates the athletic program in the school by sched- uling all track meets, football, basketball and baseball games and hiring referees. Gordy is also in charge of the Boys' Physical Educa- tion Program and boys' intramural basketball. He is not only head football coach, but coaches B team basketball, developing the boys for the next year's varsity squad. During the' win- ter months, Gordy teaches Health and Safety and risks his life with a class in Drivers' Training. TOUCH YOUR TOES - - - READY START Remember those trips to the driving range and long hours of practice in the gym? Every freshman and sophomore boy who is not out for a major sport is required to take physical education. During the spring and fall, football, baseball and track are offered and, now with our new gymnasium, boys may participate in basketball and volleyball when the weather does not permit the outdoor sports. Calisthenics and drill are a pre-game rou- tine, and a course in Health and Safety is required of all sophomore boys. With the assist- ance of Herkermer, Gordon Straley super- vises the course which gives instruction in body organs and functions. Also incorporated in the course is instruction in driving a car with visual and manual driving tests included. l'ug1! .05 Q. S9 A. 'sf fugrxi 1. wgifg -is YE ef?

WITH A SONG IN OUR HEARTS Mrs. Helen Howenstein Almost any afternoon students can hear the blend of voices coming from the music room. Both the Boys' cmd Girls' Glee Club concentrated work on their special numbers and Festival music this year. Carl Christen- sen accompanied the thirty-four boys while Sally Baub and Carol Shigley alternated on Monday and Tuesday for the girls. The chorus participated in the District Choral Festival, singing I Hear A Song as their special number and added their voices to our Christmas and Easter convos, the Deviltries, and Commencement. Some members were in a special chorus at Purdue, and others sang at the State Chorus under the direction of Dr. Harry Robert Wilson. Mrs. Marshall Howenstein directed all the vocal organizations and Carol Shigley ac- companied the chorus. 5 I 3 1 I Q 1 F F f 5 3 I i 1 Q e if J '1 ?

HON ORED SENIQRS The National Honor Society, which was or- ganized in West Lafayette High School in 1937, awards its membership to outstanding senior students. This year's members were installed at a special convocation on March l in the auditorium. To be eligible for the Honor Society, a senior must have a cumulative index of 5.0 and is chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Only 15 per cent of the class may be inducted into the Society. During the convocation Mr. Hammer gave a short talk on the history of the Society and told how the faculty selected the membership. Miss Sinks presented pins and gave the installation address. Members of the faculty presented to the student body the seniors elected to the Honor Society, summarizing briefly the quali- fications of each.

Page 5.0 Ahea started the year with the traditronal picnic welcoming prospective members. Members of the Executive Committee acted as chairmen of the monthly meetings, Sandra McNear serving as chairman of the picnic. A Halloween party was held the next month with Kaye Baker as chairman. Iackie Kissell was in charge of the Initiation in November. Also in November was the rummage sale which Carolyn Evans, Ways and Means chairman, organized. Bev Beck was the Ahea chairman of the New Year's Eve Ball which Ahea sponsored jointly with Girls' Club. Heading the Ian- uary program concerning careers for women was Sonya Stewart, and Iane Evers held the same position in February, her meeting being a taffy pull and demonstration on hats. The March and April programs were a demonstration by an interior decorator from Ayres' and a Mothers' Tea which were in the charge of Cay Graney and Cathy Tiiiin, respectively. Also in March was the formal Shamrock Ball, chairman of which was Marilyn Ridgley. The Ahea members contributed a washer and dryer for the kitchen purchased with money which has been saved during the past few years. STAGE - STRUCK Are you convinced that you are a budding Barrymore or a Socrates? If so, then Speech Arts is the club for you. It was organized for students interested in dramatics, either behind the footlights or backstage, and in any other activity in the speech field. In October, Speech Arts gave the program at the annual meeting of speech teachers in the state. The executive committee: Linda Seaton, Peggy Cable, and Patti Peyton, the junior, sophomore, and freshman representa- tives, respectively, accompanied the officers and members who made the trip to Indian- apolis. A one-act play festival was presented for Parents' Night in February with Iefi and Monticello as our guests on stage. At the Purdue Legislative Assembly our president, Ruth Walerstein, was named one of the top ten senators participating. Professor P. E. Lull and Mrs. Max Steer were two noted speakers at meetings, the former giving a reading of Green Pastures and the latter speaking on her work in speech correction.

Since the completion of our new gym, G.A.A. has been holding a more extensive and advanced pro- gram. Our girls play host to many of the district schools at playdays featuring basketball and badminton this year. With a gym of our own, they finally have the opportunity to pay back these schools CCraWfords- ville, left, Lebanon, and othersj who have been entertaining girls of our association for a long time. Several girls travel to Huntington to participate in the regional archery meet in the fall, and girls also enter the National telegraphic meet in the spring. The whole school enjoys the G.A.A. sponsored bowling games during the winter. Members of the various teams compete each Satur- day morning for the championship. SWEATER BOYS Any West Side fellow wearing a sweater with a big W. L. on it is a member of the West Side Letter- men's Club. The purpose of this club is merely to provide an organization where top athletes can gather, plan their mixer, give awards, and have a picnic. The W. L. Club mixer after the Sheridan game was entitled Queen of Hearts and the chairman was Don Dienhart. Awards were pre- sented to Pete McClure and Keith Wagner on the varsity and B-team basketball squads who were voted most improved players by members of their respective teams. These awards were presented at the annual basketball banquet. Anyone who participates in any sport during the year is entitled to attend the yearly sports' picnic sponsored by the Let- terrnen's Club. GJ-LA. officers: Miss Bemice Fites, sponsor: K.

Under the capable leadership of the social chairman, Don Dienhart, the club's members and their dates enjoyed a meal of six hot dogs apiece, fifteen pounds of potato chips, and nine dozen Dixie cups, minus the ice cream. More useful activities of the Hi-Y include selling cokes and ushering at basketball games and convos. The ath- letic programs distributed at sporting events is a customary service. Co-spon- soring the vocational conference, an- other Hi-Y activity, was under the direction of Dick Fauber and the con- ference committee. Many professional people spoke to students on careers during this week. The Ways and Means Committee handled all money worries with Dick Smith as chairman. Planning the year's program was one of the duties of Dave Kurtz, the vice- president, and his committee. Noted speakers included well-known Doc S. I. Miller. The mother-son banquet, at which Barry Elkin, chaplain, was toastmaster, was another outstanding event. A final trip to Churchill Downs, Ken- tucky, was taken by the senior mem- bers. Before the trip, Mr. Evans was quoted as saying, No gambling! Hi-Y officers: R. Frazier, president: E. Lee. secretary, G. Cartwright. treasurer: B. Elkin. chaplain: D Kurtz, vice-president: T.

If you need someone to run a movie projector or set up a tape recorder, just call on the Technical Equipment Crew. The boys in the T.E.C. are trained to take care of the school's electronic equipment and apparatus. Members are chosen according to their scholarship, personal responsibility, and inter- est in the field of electronics and are trained by the experienced members. The club and their sponsor, Mr. Fred Breckenridge, apprentice boys from all four classes, who serve a year's probation period. At the end of this time they receive the T.E.C. key. which entitles them to full membership.

The Scarlette tries to be the living spokesman of the student body. It performs a service which no other organization could handle properly: it keeps the student informed. Barbara Dodds and Tom Dowling were editors-in-chief this year. The associate editors who assisted them in the job of planning and putting the paper together, were Chuck Todd and Betty Baruth. The business manager, Dick Fauber, was in charge of balancing the books and doing odd jobs such as writing requisitions. No newspaper is a one man job. The Scar- Iette depends on its various staffs for its suc- cessful publication. This year the staff editors were: Ann Liston and Dick Smith, news: Bev- erly Beck and Jackie Kissell, features: Barry Elkin and Pete McClure, sports: Barbara Woods, advertising: Marcia Stacker and Karen Farmer, circulation: Derek Sharvelle, photography: and Bill Huron, art. Mr. Evans, the adviser, was instrumental in the successful publication of the paper. The stories, poems, and essays at Christmas- time and the whimsical April Fool's issue are two special features by which the Scarlette tries to stimulate creative writing among students. The 1954 SCARLET AND GRAY, like Rome, was not built in a day. The theme hit the editors, Carolyn Evans and Pete McClure, at Indiana Univer- sity where they were attending an Editors' Workshop. Staffs and their editors have been busy since the start of the school year. The first to take notes was the calendar staff under editors Ann Lis- ton and Kay Herrick. The literary staff, with Ruth Walerstein and Bev Beck serving as editors, were respon- sible for writing and rewriting all the copy printed in the book. The ad staff, headed by Sally Raub and Paula Alexander, spent much time canvassing for ads. Madonna Dien- hart and Nancy Cox, activities edi- tors, compiled the seniors' activities while Dick Smith's sports staff was reporting on athletic events. The layout staff, under Iackie Kis- sell, mounted every picture you see, some of which were taken by Handy Balyeatl Photograph-Y editor- The Annual editors: Cseatedj C. Evans and P.

Castell. p AS THE HOUSELIGHTS DIM ..... The trials and tribulations of a modern family added spice and hilarity to the Iunior Class play, Growing Pains. Iane Iamison and Chuck Todd, as the long- suffering parents of teen-agers, Cathy Tiffin and Bob Miller, try to help their children through adolescence. They have a party for all the friends of Bob and Cathy. Attending will- ingly are Linda Seaton, Virginia Lehker. San- dra McNear, Charles Hatcher, Iohn Eddy, Ed Anderson, Lynn Gaylord, and George Gilchrist, but shy Teresa DeVries is forced to go by her mother, Sondra Mueller. When a Southern belle, played by Marsha Herrick, appears on the scene, the boys seem to lose all sense of reason, and, subsequently, the girls lose the boys. Bob goes for the party's ice cream, is caught speeding, and policeman Bill Castel writes out a ticket. He takes Bob to jail amid loud and plentiful protests. After a great deal of confusion, Father comes to the rescue and saves everything but Bob's pride, which comes out slightly damaged. Mrs. Harriett Mueller directed the production with Mimi Cohen assisting her as student director and Mrs. Elizabeth Leer as technical adviser. Audiences attending the Speech Arts play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, relived the moving love story of the two English poets, Page 64 Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. Cast as Elizabeth, Ruth Walerstein portrayed the invalid poet whose life really began the mo- ment Bobert Browning. played by Chuck Todd. entered her room. Dominating the scene was Ross Frazier as Edward Barrett, Elizabeth's father. Gretchen Counsman, as Henrietta, was the younger sister, who dared to fall in love with a soldier, Captain Surtees Cook, played by Pete McClure. Although the rest of the family, including Barbara Schweidler, an older sister, and six brothers, Iohn Anderson, Dick Bossung, Jim Gibson, Bill Castell, Ernie Beck, and Mark Freeman, give her their sympathy, they are powerless to help. The only person who seems to be able to crack Barrett's grim exterior is his flighty little niece, Bella Hedley. Barbara Chastain was cast in this part with Bill Shigley as her extremely pompous fiance. On the advice of her physicians, played by Randy Lingle and Carl Christensen, Elizabeth begs her father for permission to go to Italy. When he refuses, she reluctantly listens to Browning who has a daring and seemingly impossible plan for eloping. Finally, with the help of her faithful maid, Wilson, portrayed by Ann Armacost, she escapes, taking with her her dog, Flush. Mrs. Harriett Mueller, assisted by Betsy Ran- dolph, did a beautiful job of directing. wg, 4 31 ' 3' f, af, qi S .livdmf -wr gm I- 1 Y 'f'2f:fsSm: pw 21 ,,,.,, ,Aww f L, h-'.

A former student at Broad Ripple of Indianapolis, Ann came to W.L. in February of her junior year. She is a member of the SCARLET AND GRAY circula- tion staff and was co-chairman of both the Shamrock Ball and the Gala Week banquet. HARDWOOD HERO lack of all sports is a term that could well be used to de- scribe Dave Kurtz, our '53-'54 basketball captain. Dave, a prominent senior, has been ac- tive in sports since grade school. In his freshman and sophomore years, he played varsity football and basketball, was on the track squad, and played various positions dur- ing the baseball season. As a senior, Dave was the mainstay in our football team. ln all he will be remembered for his fine sportsmanship and spirit.

The crack of a bat and the dull thud of a hard thrown ball sound clear through the hot summer evenings, since the W.L. baseball team practices and plays most of its games during this time. Beginning immediately after track season, the baseball group loosens up its Winterized arms. This year the squad consisted mainly of seniors upon whom coach Bill Berberian de- pended.
