wrllllillll Schnepp William Stutzman George Sanford Secretary Treasurer Director TO THE 1951 GRADUATES Only a few of our graduates in the past have faced as turbulent and unpredictable 21 future as that which is now before you. ' Whatever plans or hopes that you may have had, will now have to be modified to embrace the conditions brought about by unsettled world conditions. Many of you will be called to serve in our Armed Forces, others to fill the gap in our expanding industries. Wherever duty places you within the next few years, remember this, that whenever these unnatural conditions are past, you will have to face the future alone, and compete on your own merits in our economic and highly competitive society. What you might be called upon to do during this emergency, may not be what you would want to have as your life's vocation - so plan for the future, and work toward that goal, disregarding postponements or minor set-backs. The time will again come when your greatest assets will be an education, training and personal ability. Therefore, whether you are going to college, serve in the Armed Forces, or take your place in industry or home, utilize every opportunity to improve yourselves with an eye to the future.

CLASS OF 1951: As freshmen you entered West Milwaukee in 1947 with a class of 151 mem- bers. As seniors your num- ber is 78. The great loss of students between entering as freshmen and graduating as seniors is not peculiar to West Milwaukee, but is true of the high schools of the nation. About one half of those who begin high school never finish. The members who left your class before graduation did so for a number of rea- sons. In many of the cases the causes for separation were legitimate, but in others that statement can not be made. In that latter number are those who lacked pur- pose, ambition, and determi- nation to complete the work with the other members of the class. I like your slogan Win- ners never quit, quitters never win. You, who have remained members of your class, are now The Win- ners and are to be con- gratulated on being members I e of that select group who never quit worth while endeavors. Your graduation from high school will enable you to seek higher goals. MATI-IEW BARKLEY, P1'im'i,tuzl. The Staff of the 1951 year book wishes to acknowledge the help given by our Vice Principal, Mr. joseph Schwei. Mr. Schwei, through his knowledge of photography, and through his advisorship of the Camera Club, has taken or directed to be taken, many of the pictures found in the pages of this book. His advice and knowledge have been gratefully received. We know this has taken considerable effort because it all had to be done in addition to his regular work as Vice Principal as well as his many other duties. Thank you for your help Mr. Schwei.
