The members of the Junior class realize that, just as the close of the year heralds graduation and the loss of the Seniors, so inevitably the time approaches when this group must take up the reins where they have been dropped and carry on until they are presented at the next commencement. Looking back, the preceding years have not been without their trials and tribulations. School tasks have been discouraging at times and oftentimes some students have thought of withdrawing-but, somehow, they have continued to plod along with but one purpose in mind- to Hnish! In this, the patient cooperation and guidance of the school faculty has been of major importance. In their leisure time, many students have attended the school dances, skating and swimming parties, and subscribed to the Voice and Echo. They have helped the school activities by selling tickets and helped them- selves to a good time-and met many students whose freindship they value highly. A To the Seniors they extend their congratulations in the attainment of their goal. The many pleasant asso- ciations with the upper classmen will be missed. As the future Seniors, the Juniors will assume those duties and obligations which now become their heritage. With these responsibilities close upon them, they pledge themselves to uphold the standards in a manner of which the school can be justly proud, and to exert an uplifting and inspiring influence upon those, who, like themselves, are striving for the ultimate goal. juniors on Tuesday Evening Rum I 4Ie'nlll1iv I.:-v Mvvm-1's, ,Nlirr Kvtllvr.

It took some time to get aeeustomed to eonditions and people attending the sehool. But it was not very long before other students as uninitiated as we reeog- nized us as fellow Wfest Nighters. Activities, too, began to elaim our attention. Therefore, we were praetieally seniors in our minds before many months had elapsed. Being a freshman had its advantages. The faeulty and other students did not expeet mueh of us and we did not disappoint them. Through time we absorbed appreeiation for the neeessary requirements of sehool life, made our friends and did our part to measure up to the expeetations of the upper elassmen. Row 2-fhfariou llurlin.

Qdlf- gina 4 A strange being in thc educational world, the Post-Grad. A person steeped in the tradition of the past, the demands of the present, the aspirations for the future. Like a ghost he wanders and wonders in a changed world. As a group he represents a multiplicity of motives for tending West Nightfadvancement of knowledgeg procrastination between jobsg realization of a limited backgroundg a search for friendship and more specialization in particular fields. As a post-grad, definite contributions to the school and its activities should be imparted. His sense of responsibility and judgment is not without valueg his M serious purpose should bc bestowed upon matters sometimes treated too lightly. li Therefore the post-grad is a vital part of YVest Night. The feeling of loneli- ness and being outside the pale of friends and activities should not cause him to miss his objective in attending school, Activities need his viewpoints, the faculty his fi serious-mindedness, and therefore he should continue to work toward broadening i l his mind, bettering his position, and increasing his friends.

Page Twenty-five Page Twenty-six Q ecfiond In the past year West Night continued to progress in many ways, but the most outstanding was the change in the system of hours and classes. The Board of Education anticipated greater beneHts to the student body from these revisions and without a doubt their hopes have been rewarded. By increasing the hours of instruction twenty-five percent and holding only one class each night, a more concentrated and complete education is attained. Whenever changes are made, limitations, irregularities and kinks must be ironed out. In addition, radical departures from the past are always accompanied by voices of disapproval and criticism. As the year progressed, many students who remained in school denounced the new system, but in time they have observed the advantages. Those who were not serious about the school gen- erally passed by their opportunity by dropping out . On the whole, however, a more genuinely interested student body, minus the stallers , has been the result. Numerically speaking, extra - curricular activities have suffered. Fewer students are at school to draw from or who are interested in staying after the longer period. The question nat- urally arises, Would it be better to go back to the old way? Your impartial commentator reflects in the negative. But what would solve this dilemma? The faculty must strive more earnestly to impress their classes with greater cause for interest, for greater participation, for more cooperation. The students in tum should measure up to their responsibilities. Lastly, new activities must, and will spring up - say of more serious purpose which will receive attention of those who enter West Night. The future is brighter. The faculty and students cooperating wholeheartedly will train young Americans to meet the complexities of modern life in a more satisfactory manner. Prospective students can by the new system manage to become equipped for business requirements in a shorter length of time. Those who wish to get a fuller education will also be accommodated. Progress in its true sense has been the result of looking backward at West Night. .fgclfiuified Rim R1 VOICE and ECHO Rcprcsc-ntzxliws 1 .lf-.m l-llclu'l1lr1'1'-fx-I, Hzulhzs lnusls, Nlanuu' Hrmur.

Heretofore, it had been customary for the editorship of both publications to be entrusted to one individual, but this year on the strength of past performances, it was deemed wise to set up two distinct staffs, one for the Evening Voice, the other for the Echo. In addition to this innovation, the appearance of the Evening Voice, the school magazine, was changed to a mimeographed newspaper, edited and published in its entirety by the students. As the present school year advanced, there was found much to commend this move on the part of the school officials, not only in the matter of financial economy, but also in view of the fact that it permitted the students to draw more fully upon their own resources and initiative. As the school year advanced and each one slipped into the groove of his or her particular duties, a delightful momentum was gained which added joy and impetus to the work as a whole. This year, too, a new approach was taken in the matter of arousing student interest and enthusiasm little or no high-pressure tactics to let the work rest upon the natural response on the part of the matter of subscriptions and in the publications. There was used, since it was deemed wiser firm foundation of honest and the students themselves. both in the size and quality of the pub- lications. Thus we can feel sure that this year's work truly mirrors the attitude and Capabilities of as it may. the students themselves, be that Page Twenty-nine Page Thirty fgftyaico To those W'est Nighters who were in Physics. modern science became a key to open many doors of knowledge and explanation of the unknown.

Through elass instruction and field trips, the ordinary phenomena of plant-life beeame a revelation of wonder and beauty. A thoroughly edu- l eated person should have this understanding if only as an avenue of thought apart from the ordinary things of life.

An unusual part of bowling this year was a match game between traditional rival of West Nite-East Nite. At this meeting our team brought home the bacon so to speak, in a line manner. Bowling at Friars took on a high degree of com- petition this year in the form of friendly feudin'? between Mr. Von Walden, our sponsor, and another esteemed faculty member, Mr. Moore. The results of this battle of bowling demons were a draw, with candy bars and milk flying thick and fast. The elosing event of this active group was a banquet for members. At this time the climax of the season's fun and frolie was reached, and a firm Conviction made by all to meet again next year.

Headed by a group of faithful members, the club carried on throughout the school year various activities in and out of school. From a scientific point of view, as many as sixty students and teachers attended lectures on astronomy, several moving pictures on traveling in Europe and the U. S. and a talk on the hobby of collecting butterflies by Mr. Smalley. Outside the school there were such social activities as a swimming party at the Y, a skating party and a barn dance pro- posed. Field trips are planned before the end of the year to such. places as a newspaper, the U. C. Observatory and a Middletown steel mill. It is believed that next year the Science Club will be bigger and better because of the variety of its functions and the loyalty of its members. C.. 0l lftl'l'L The Forum Club this year, with Mr. Cook as sponsor, was marked with considerable success. The selection of officers was one of the reasons for the Forum Club's wide acclaim among members and students in school. The membership remained large and inter- ested from beginning to the end of the year. Every discussion received the necessary serious or bantering attitude from the group, and Fred Wetterer revealed himself especially adept at the forensic art. The outstanding guest speaker of this year was Mr. Harold O. Riesz, of the University of Cin- cinnati, discussing the topic, 'fNews While It's Hot. The social program was thought enjoyable by those who at- tended a hike, a motor trip to Clifty Falls, a midnight Halloween Party, candy pull, moonlight hayride, and a field trip to Mam- mouth Cave, Kentucky. Students were fortunate if they took advantage of the fun, the fellowship, and the opportunity of speak- ing one's mind on a subject - at times a rare privilege. Page Thirty-H ve it gtg Citi l l GLEIC CLUB Inauspieiously. the Clee Club of the Night Sehools began a year of musieal praetiee with twenty voiees. A hopeless mood. however. was present the first few nights of training. Gradually what it laeked in numbers f--because of seeming negleet some- where along the line W- the Club compensated with sheer musical solidarity and zeal. That is, the students beearne less and less interested in their half Credit and more and more eoneerned about the sueeess of the Club, thereby gaining a spiritual and social uplift for their Friday eveningls eflorts. The answer may be found in Emerson, gWN'hat a revelation of power is music' l The students have not only learned the beginnings of music. but have also aequired a Cultural value to be remembered when thinking of their Alma Mater. Mr. Trefzger has built out of the inauspieious beginning the foundation for a future dynamie organization. something we will remember for days to Come.

The team had only a slight connection with the school, but strangely more of the school spirit. Believe it or not, early in the season the team scored the Hrst touch- down in three years to put the West Night Hawks victors I9-0 over their opponents. Much credit is due to the training and inspiration of true sportsmen-Coach Elmer Lavely, his assistants George and Bill Rapp, and business manager Ed. Kipp. Members of the team had the real thing when it came to punch and loyalty, even in the face of many superior teams and practically no financial backing. The season,s record of the Hawks in the won and lost column was as follows: 4 won -A 4 lost -if 2 tied. The Hawks scored a total of 39 points over their oppo- nents' 83, This record is good when the previous seasons are recalled. Football will be bigger and better at West Night if it can attract football men with as much or more talent and will to win and if it has the same fine inspiration and attention of the coaching and business staff.

During the year 1940, the Echo editorial, literary and business staffs gave their best efforts in preparing copy, working out the theme, and selling the necessary subscriptions. In these capacities we give thanks particularly to Miss Frances Bess, Ruth Bullman, Fred Wetterer, and Jesse Deer. The faculty assistance offered by Mrs. Ernestine Reik, Mr. George Young, and Mr. Jerome Cook was also of inestimable value. Professional talents of Mr. Stricker in photography, Mr. Benson in art layout and engraving, and Mr. Cappel in printing were appreciated.
