Illlllfllllll After three years and nine months of continuous fighting, the end of World War Il was declared and victory was ours. Now comes the task of rebuilding an entire world. It is with this thought in mind that we, the Class of Ianuary, 1946, dedicate our Record and ourselves to PERMANENT PEACE For us nothing could be more fitting, because it will always be remembered that we are the first graduating class of the new peace. Our entire high school career has been colored by ration- ing, war bond and other campaignsg farewells to our young men, grim headlines, atrocity stories, and those heart breaking, ever- appearing gold stars. Each of these served as a reminder to us that we were living in abnormal times. How long and how fervently we prayed that we might see the abolishing of most of those things by the time we were ready to take our places with the men and women of the world! And how gracious of the Almighty to grant us that one wish! We regard our dedication as the first of our duties to help bring about the rebirth of civilization. We, who will thrive under the beauty and security of this peace, are aware that we are also the builders of tomorrow. lt will be through our efforts that future classes will be graduated under the wings of the dove of peace rather than under the shadows of the clouds of war. This time there must be no hesitating, no faltering along the way. The job before us is a tremendous one, but we will see it through. We will bring to the ruins of the earth a new glory, and to our succeeding generations we will give a better way of life. lt is this that our dedication means to us. Only by attaining the goal we have set for ourselves, will we be able to prove our appreciation of the wonderful deeds of our men in uniform. We must be able to say to the world that we remember all that they did for us. We must be able to show the world our continuation of their fine work. They have laid the foundation of this permanent peace, and we must build upon it. As we have worked for more than three years to help bring about this complete victory, we will now work further to insure complete peace. Our job is just beginning. We pledge ourselves to the fulfillment of it. MR. MURRAY GROSS Died Iune 14, 1945 Mr. Murray Gross, Head of Commerce Department, was well loved by all who knew him. He was friendly, interest- ing, and more important, inter- ested in everything and every- one around him. He helped many former students find good jobs, he helped to bring about many changes in Western. Wherever he went, to whom- ever he spoke, he brought smiles, because he always had a little joke to tell. Many brought their troubles to Mr. Gross, sure that they would find a sympathetic lis- tener and advisor, and they were never disappointed. In all the years that he was at West- ern, he was a guiding light to many students. lt is sure that he will never be forgotten by any who came in contact with him, and his memory will always linger near this, the school he loved. it IN NIINIURIANI ...Z MR. CLEON BOOK Died February 8. 1945 At this point in our Record, we must stop to pay respect to the memory of one of our beloved, departed faculty mem- bers. With reverence we recall the activities and personality of Mr. Cleon Book, our former class sponsor. His untimely death in our IZA. term came before many of us had had a chance to do much work with him. However, we were aware of his efforts for us and felt deeply our loss. He has left an indelible mark on us, and whenever we have occasion to recall our high school days and graduation, he will inevitably be a part of them. llUIl GUIIIA Ill r MR. WALTER ROBERTS Prinbipdl , f maxi ' When our class first entered Western we were awed and quiet as we entered the auditorium. Such a big school greeted our astonished eyes that we were too bewildered to make much noise. After we sat in the auditorium for a few minutes we thawed out and spoke to each other. The noise was becoming deafening, when a man stepped to the micro- phone and in a calm voice asked for quiet, His manner indicated that he was a person in authority, but not a grim authority. We quieted down, and Mr. Roberts, the principal of the West Philadelphia High School, spoke to us very briefly on our duties and privileges. He neither threatened us nor begged our cooperation, but we sensed that if we met him half-way in his requests for behavior befitting senior high school students we would find him willing to help us in problems that often come to those same students. Through all our years at Western, we have found our first judg- ment well justified. Mr. Roberts has always reached a helping hand to those who needed it. He has always had a word of praise for work well doneg a word of encouragement when spirits were low. We, the Class of lanuary 1946, take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you, Mr. Roberts, for your kind understanding and helpfulness. -J MRS. GROVE Grade Chainnan DR. WESTON MR.

Board, consisting of one boy and one girl representative from each grade, Chairman of the Senate, Chairman of the Tribunal, and Chairman of Patrols, with our President Iacques Dubien at the head, and Vice-President lack Kevorkian assisting him, is the executive part of our school government. This term the C. A. has accomplished many things such as, obtaining 1001, C. A. members hip, purchasing a juke box, sponsoring several evening dances, showing movies, and devising a new system of electing patrols. The Novelty Shop, under the management of Ierry Myers, its originator, has continued to prosper. The Senate, our legislative branch, under the leadership of its capable chairman, Marvin Stuart, has been very busy this term. One of their most important activities concerns school clubs. A census to determine what pupils want in the way of clubs has been taken, club charters have been inspected, new ones issued, and useless ones revoked. The Chairman of the Senate and the Vice-President together purchased the juke box and established a fund for records and maintenance. Acting on the complaints of students they have undertaken a drive to clean up the lunchroom. Our Constitution has been amended to make the manner of voting simpler. Now the entire Senate acts as a nominating committee, but petitions may still be taken out. 1 Both the C. A. Board and the Senate have had a very successful term, and we hope that both continue to advance in future terms. 1. S ii Q , ' , Qmsg A 1 :-4 ,, Hlll MWA Illlltlllll TRIBUNAI. Last Row: Sadiian.

THE TRIBUNAL The Tribunal is the judicial body of the school. lt consists of six members, two from the IZA class, and four from the l2B class, who are elected by the Board of Directors. They are assisted by an Attorney General Staff of three members. The members of the Tribunal en- deavor to instill respect for law and order into the school by establishing a policy of passing judgment conscienti- ously and without discrimination. This past term has been one of un- usual success for the Tribunal. While enforcing the laws, it has ably striven to administer justice in its dealings with tfie school at large. PATROL CHRIHMEN Last Row: Iohnson. White, Richter. Hundloy First Row: Lee, Halpem. PATROLS The responsibility of seeing that the regulations of the school are adhered to, falls upon the shoulders of the patrols. Patrols were organized in order to give the students the privilege of seeing that their own laws are enforced, Recently, a new step in the democratic direction was taken, the election of patrols directly by the students. Although they have been under the able chairmanship of Edward Halpern, they have found it difficult to function properly, owing to the lack of interest and of cooperation shown by many students around the halls of Western. nitric ll0rs4 ' lr.

WESTERN NEWS During our years at Western we have always looked to the Western News for bits of gossip, humor, and accounts of important activities going on around the school. The upper classes have their respective class columns, filled with humorous details about par- ticular students or the class in general. The lower classes look to Along the Western Front for more quips about happenings in Western. In reality, the students of West Philadelphia High School could not keep up with the various activities without a Western News. The staff has performed its task faithfully under the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Melville, and the management of their Editor-in-Chief, Gilda Mizii. Vlll PllPUlI lo ink is 1 - MR.

Tl ie West Philadelphia l-ligh School A Cappella Choir has been an outstanding feature of Westerns extra curricular activities for over seven years. Mr. Charles I, Dryfuse took the responsibility of organizing and directing the Choir in l939, and considering the difficulties and inconveniences he has had to work against, he has been doing an exceptionally good job since then. The Choir has become one of the best liked organizations in the school, and is becoming even more popular as the news of its fine work spreads throughout the school and Philadel- phia, The Choir members study and practice conscientiously so that they may give concerts outside of school. They get a great deal of satisfaction out of appearing in churches and other public institutions, and when they see that their audiences appreciate their singing they feel that they have accomplished something and that it was worth while. Y As long as the Choir is under the unique direction of Mr. Dryfuse it will keep climbing toward its goal, which is, to appear on the radio and be heard the country over, SWEH A ll IUVHY DRAMATIC ORCHESTRA SECRETARIAL AHHI HUIIRS OWL DEBATING SCIENCE ug SERVICEMEN S COMMITTEE GLEE FRENCH ll COLOR GUARD Last Row: Howard, Ccllderwood.

For the second straight year they won the Public High Championship. With the aid of Lew August and Ierry Myers- Interscholastic Invitation Indoor Champion and runner-up-the team was able to cap- ture the Public High Championship but lost the lnterscholastic Tennis Championship. The championship was the third in six years. Western has always been noted tor its outstanding tennis players. The boys ran into some stiff competition from various teams in the league, Ger- mantown and Olney seemed to give tl e most trouble. lt is hard to point out any one player as being better than any other, for all the boys played like champions. Lew August, Ierry Myers, Dick Katz, Paul Kantor, Martin Cramer, and Alan Lakin, however, achieved outstanding records. Ierry Myers gave his services to the Red Cross by playing for them in several meets. Many of the games that Western's net-men played were decided by close scores and by strokes which are the wonder of the league. Mr. Hurwitz and his boys worked hard each day and practiced till sun-down. As a result Western's name is once again among the names of Champions, and this time the credit goes to the net-men of Western who have done a great job and deserve a great deal of praise.

V. team, this term found Western facing one of its toughest seasons in a long while. Despite the fact that Western failed to pile up an impressive record in the victory column, she did succeed in showing her rivals that she had plenty of fight in her. The team started its season by losing to Lower Merion at Ardmore. This defeat was followed by five more before Western won a game. Western defeated Overbrook by the score of 13 to 7 to keep its old Iinx on the Panthers. Nipon, playing his third year on the Varsity squad, scored all of Westerns 13 points. Most of Westerns passing was done by Ed Medzarentz. With lurman playing center on offense and backing up the line on defense, many a team found the going tough through this spot. Ioe Baker was a constant threat to the opposition, for when he got loose he was hard to stop and thus Western gained ground because of his winged feet. It can be said that Western could have won more games than she did if she could have gained only a yard or two where needed. For, time and time again, the team moved in long marches down the field, only to be stopped and denied a score by failing to gain one or two yards. Although defeated 25 to O on Thanksgiving Day by our traditional rival, West Catholic, Western played a great game. Over the years the score in games is tied at ll games each, with 3 ties. Because of experience gained this term, prospects for next season's Hackmen are bright. lHl PISSKI 4- J' Q4 .

The Speedboys' baseball season was not a fail- ure, but neither did it come up to expectation. Many positions on the team were weak at the beginning of the season but grew stronger as the season progressed. Western, rated by sports writers as one of the strongest teams in the league, lived up to the writers' opinion by defeating Dobbins 4-3 and St. Thomas More 7-4 in early non-league games. Bill Decker, a tall, lanky letterman from last season, fanned 15 batters in the Dobbins game. But his arm gave way in the middle ol the season, and thus the team lost a great pitcher. However, the team had another pitcher in Hook Novak who was rated as one of the best pitchers in the Public League. Holding down the infield positions were Iohn Kokonos, Mark Spitz, Cleo Soufflas, and Ralph Hummel. Dick Rubin showed such slugging powers that he was inserted in the clean-up position in batting. Coach Kirschner revised his line-ups several times during the league competition in order to find where Western's power lay. Western looks forward to next spring and a better team.

However, to everyone's disappointment, the team finished last in league stand- ing. lt seems that the final standing of the team does not truly reflect the worth of its players. All season long, Shatter, the goal tender, blocked many a ball that seemed destined for a score. The team played its best game against Northeast, only to lose a heart-breaker by the score of l to O. Such players as Harris, Capt. Hastings, Nercesian, Kazanjian, Hummel, and larjisian, kept the score down, although Western could not score. ln non-league games the team tied a greatly favored Haverford College I. V, team and defeated Bartram High by the score of 2 to O. Coach Iones and his boys look forward to a great season next year. SlIt0KlS WM? MR. SHAPIRO. Coach Qtr ,. SWIMMING TEAM First Row: Sollott.

Westerns team lost their first non- league game to Girard College, but came hack strong to defeat North Catholic--Catholic and City League champions -4323. Western took live events and looked very impressive. Westerns Water Bugs, although in the champion ship running the past two years, have missed the championship title each time, but this year should be their year.

Despite the teams lack of experience, and also the fact that they had no track tc practice on, the team proved keen competition for their rivals in the various track meets. Coach Evans developed a few fine runners who really brought glory to the school, their coach, and themselves. Such boys as Ioe Baker, captain ot the team, who placed third in the Public High Championship 220-yard dash, and Tom Law, who ran the 88Ufyard dash and the 440-yard relay. The team met many good teams such as Central, Overbrook and Northf- east, and in each case not only gave a good account of itself but gained experience which it sorely needed. Coach Evans new team met and overcame handicaps which seemed impossible, Since the team lost only a few boys due to lune graduation, Coach Evans anticipates greater success next spring. ta?

We took the opportunity presented by cz moment's lull to see what changes time had wrought. When among friends and classmates, it is easy to reminisce, and our thoughts drifted back to that very first day. ' The long-awaited day had come, and we were actually on the thresh- old of Western. Immediately we began to dream of our graduation. Our first introduction to hard labor was processing what seemed to be five million ration books. The news event of our 10B term was the dubious pleasure of seeing the sun rise during second period class. This phenomenon occurred almost daily in what was commonly called the graveyard shift. lean Volk and Ierry Myers were reelected as Grade Directors and a precedent was established. 11A found us with one year down and two more years to go before graduation, and that dream took on more reality. 'Schoolzapoppin' our first school show, scored a direct hit and some of our class talent was brought to the limelight in that production. In llB Iose' Carioca assumed an important role in our lives by becoming our class mascot. Shortly thereafter we proudly flashed our multi-colored pins bearing the now famous figure. Our 12A theme was two years down and one more to go. Our first obligation as Seniors was to elect class officers who were to serve us until the end of our senior year. Harry Kondourajian, President, Iohnny Katakis, Vice-President, Phyllis Waingrow, Secretary, and Anita Hample, Treasurer, were duly installed. On a sunny Iune 15th, we took the memorable trip to Riverview Beach. The close of the day found us on the pier, waiting for a very late boat, The return trip was made to the ac- companiment of soft music and quiet group singing. Worn, but happy, we made our way home. It was in the course of this term that newly elected councilmen began to practice their wiles on innocent, penniless seniors. The Community Council sponsored evening 'activities at the school, and the novelty shop made its debut. In 12B Iacques Dubien became C. A. President. Senior discussions were mostly concerned with prom preparations and graduation plans. The Senior Assembly, Prom, and Gown Committees turned to their res spective tasks. Photographic appointments were made, and we spent odd moments filling out activity sheets and Who's Who questionnaires. Our dream reached its conclusion at the closing ceremonies on Graduation Night. And so our attention was drawn away from the past to the present, and then we faced the future which presented to us a panorama of world possibilities procured by the instrument of the present peace. ,, . .N.

As each newcomer entered the room those already there looked him over appraisingly. Then Miss Gross came in, and the first meeting of the Senior Record staff got under way. Although most of us had been apprentices in l2A, we were a bit worried about the big job before us. After Miss Gross had spoken to us and given us a brief outline of our work, we were even more worried but determined to see it through. We then elected our officers, who immediately got to Work to give you this fine record of your three years at Western. The Editor-in-Chief, Bill Porter, and the Art Editor, Herbert Paston, spent long hours planning the dummy, and then the Literary Staff took over and told all about the history of each member of the class. Next, each school organization which was important to us, was given due credit. SUBMIHHI After that carne endless hours of reading, correcting, checking and re-reading, placing everything in alphabetical order.
