It has harbored within its walls a group of students from their first day as Freshmen to their last day as graduating Seniors - educating them, growing with them, and echoing their joys and S0 IIOWS. This stairway of growth is not ended. Around each succeeding bend are infinite steps symbolizing continuous educational opportunities for thousands of America's youth. ln future years West Phoenix High School's Coming of Age will be only a memorable page in the story of its progress.

Montgomery came to Phoenix in August, l925, as superintendent of the Phoenix Union High School district, PUHS was the sole school. Since that time Dr. Montgomery has super- vised the construction and organ- ization of three high schools, a technical school, and a new Phoe- nix College campus. The con- struction of two new high schools marks his last year at the helm. Dr. Montgomery has been a beacon of light to thousands of students who have felt his kindly influence during the past years. As he steps down with honor and distinction after serving the people of Phoenix for twenty-eight years, West Phoenix High School dedicates the l953 Westerner to him in recognition of outstanding work accomplished in the field of education. Here is a builder -a builder of schools, a build- er of minds, a builder of de- mocracy. 57 g ii: Q .

The pueblo symbolizes the four classes of West High-the first floor representing Freshmen, etc. As each class progresses to the top of the pueblo, it loses students to the four corners of the earth as designated by the adjoining cardinal points. Four Senior classes have now reached the top of the pueblo. Upon graduation ofthe class of '53, the vertical lines representing the classes of T949-53 reach the Thunderbird and signify Coming of Age.

They give unstintingly of their time in serving the tax payers of this district as stewards directing one of the finest school systems in these United States. They are truly public servants. Dr. E. W. Montgomery, superintendent of the Phoenix Union High Schools and Phoenix College, looks at one of the many reports and papers that pass through his admin- istrative office each day. Seated at his left is Dr. Harold L. Gear, superintendent-elect. Their Steward hip l Good at each meeting Seated tl to rl are Mrs F A Bans cle rkg Dr. E. W, Montgomery, superintendent, Dr. Harold L.

Swift: e gf. ,ur k Haze Burch, memberf Dr. Norman A. Ross, member, .lay Hyde, Directing a modern, new, compre- hensive high school to insure maximum efficiency and economy is a fulltime job. During the past four years Mr. Donald F. Stone, principal, has done just that to guide West Phoenix High School to its coming of age. Prin- cipal Stone has helped West soothe its growing pains as the enrollment soared to over 2,500 students. One of his many attributes is a genuine interest in the welfare and adequate educational growth of West's boys and girls. He is constantly pur- suing his goal for student participation in school government. His door is always open to parents, students, and teachers. No problem is too great or too small to merit Principal Stone's undivided attention. Besides his endless work as director of one of Arizona's largest secondary schools, he is executive secretary of the Arizona Inter-Scholastic Associa- tion, an active pilot, and a regular member of the Kiwanis Club. il4l As principal's secretary since I949, Miss Glenna Wilson handles all of Mr. Stone's correspondence, keeps his ap- pointments straight and works jointly with Mrs. Lawrence in auditing the school budget, filing requisitions, and perform- ing the thousand and one tasks that keep West High on a clockwork schedule. She and Mrs. Lawrence keep a scrap- book of all West High's activities. At present they have completed four of these valuable documents. Cffice Mrs. Fay Lawrence is one of the at- tractive young women who helps keep the clearing house that is the front office in working order. Although formerly with the dean's office, she has worked with Principal Stone for the past three years. The switchboard occupies much of her time, through it comes every phone call both to and within the school. In her spare moments, she makes' P. A. an- nouncements and regulates the chimes according to the daily schedule. i - ..., 2 4 KL mf K xl .hi , -g4..'f'iz'I.2.. f 5 , ,---...,, II ' A, -s... -f------W f V.w,. - W-wa...

FAY LAWRENCE Mr. Glen Bradford, registrar, has the momentous job of maintaining accurate and complete records for every student in school. Due to great increase in enrollment at West High, being registrar can be a tedious and c ften frustrating task, but Mr. Bradford has proved very capable in directing this tre- mendous responsibility with a good will that amazes everyone. One of his many achievements has been the modernization of record tabulation and office operation with the key-punch and assorter machines installed in the registrar's office in August, l95l. Miss Betsy Harris, registration secretary, has given valuable service in We-st's administra- tions for three years. All students appreciate her friendly smile and courteous help when arranging class schedules. S u km. s ' Registrar's office is the ar- chives ot West Phoenix. All grades, activities, honors, etc., are recorded here on student's cumulative, permanent record. Efficient is the word to describe the statt members that do these numerous things in the office. Whether it's a return slip, grade average, or tran- script a student wishes, he will receive it quickly and courte- ously. C? X...-M Q . .mf Attendance is the special forte of Mrs. Rose Rolzerts, ottendance clerk, and her pleasant manner makes waiting to have return slips checked in the registrar's office ci pleasure. Mrs. Rosamond Nelson's major re- sponsibility as credentials secretary is operating the key-punch and as- sorter machine that reduces to a card the case history of every stu- dent in school. Mrs. Olive Ray serves a dual capacity in keeping records for Principal D. F. Stone, executive secre- tary ot AlA, and assisting in the registrar's office. - Ts x, -of f Important Details A t i 'off 0 Dynamic leadership and unfailing ideas are packed into the small frame and cheery voice of Miss Eleanor Fullington, Dean of Girls. Her memo pad is always filled with student appoint- ments concerning a wide range of problems and questions. Dean Eleanor Fullington lends her various talents to many phases ot school activity such as attending to disciplinary problems of girls, scheduling all social events on campus, providing sponsors and supervis- ing activities for all clubs, and counseling Girls' League. Miss Fullington knows well the various aspects of her job for she has been at West as a counselor since its first year and has been Dean of Girls since l95l. A typical day of her activities would follow this pattern: - arrive at school to prepare daily bulletin announcements and check excused and unexcused Friendly Sage advice is given by Deans Fullington and Vaughn to students with problems ranging from l have too little homework to l have too many boyfriends! absences. - See Miss Sain about Trickateen Club's decorating lobby Christmas tree lcheck on orna- ments in storagel. -- Conference with Mr. Snapp. - Conference with Mr. Stone. - Conference with Mr. Vaughn. --Conference with Mills College rep- resentative and arrange for her to speak with Sen- ior girls. - Correspondence - Issue parking lot passes and fill out college application blanks for Lorna Price, Barbara Goor, and Marilyn Luke. - Meet with Audrey Viliborghi and Mrs. Macon about decorations for Emerald Evening. - Help Girl's League prepare decorations for Emerald Evening. Guidance 'Q 15 ff, , .497 f is ' I pf' W Miss Diane Verry, secretary to the deans, comes up smiling from a towering stack of official correspon- dence. Aside from her secretarial work, she types the daily bulletin and has charge of the school's lost and found, which is a popular gathering place for stray belongings of WPHS students. Among the new faces in the administration build- ing is that of cheerful Miss Diane Verry, who works in conjunction with Miss Fullington and Mr. Vaughn. Mr. Vaughn is one of the more popular figures on West High's campus. He has held the position of Dean of Boys since the school first opened its doors in 1949 and deals with the many responsibilities of his position efficiently and capably. Among his administrative duties, he is respon- ll9l Dean William C. Vaughn takes a breather before returning to his desk to act as friend and advisor to West Phoenix High School boys. His file cabinet holds much evidence of his untiring work devoted to boys. sible for all disciplinary problems involving boys and heads the committee which organizes the stu- dent handbook. This useful volume, containing everything from soup to nuts about West High, rep- resents the kind of effort Mr. Vaughn puts into everything he does. ln addition, Dean Vaughn is head of Boys' League and was helpful in organizing our first homecoming. He is the guiding light of the Dads' Club, West's well-known and much lauded father-son organiza- tion.

Student Government Functions The Guidance Board is composed of two Junior and two Senior representatives elected by the students, the student body president as an ex-officio member, and a faculty advisor. This group helps students who face disciplinary problems. When a teacher issues demerits, the board reviews the case to decide if the teacher was justified in the punishment. Demerits are usually passed and secretaries type them on students cards and file in the master file for future reference. These files are referred to when a student receives more demerits or has previous ones petitioned off. They may also be referred to when the student is under con- sideration for a scholarship, college entrance, or a job. Student Council is composed of a representative from each homeroom, student body officers, and class presidents. lt is the core of student government. One of its many accomplishments has been revision of the constitution to make rules easier to understand and interpret. They also approve organizational pins and emblems and handle the many problems that arise concerning student government. ,T,,,,,?sQW- ,.. .W .,A. ...MT ,..., . W,A..,.q,,,.,.

Always on the court at any Freshman activity, Kazuka not only marks up the scores, but also cheers her class on to ci winning spirit. True to the Rountree tradition, lsnhelle is already on the tirst rung of the ladder in student leadership at West. As Freshman treasurer, lsabelle collects dues with ci friendly but firm smile and works with sponsors on plans tor their class money future. urveying, ood Course The seven-hundred-and-eighty-five Freshmen who entered West's doors last fall soon lost their so-called green-ness and settled down to the business of becoming West High citizens. The first Frosh school activity was the successful Hoopster's Hop, an after-the-game dance. Then these versatile newcomers presented a hilarious assembly titled Two Sides of the Story. The first half pictured the Lowly Freshman as the Mighty Senior might see him, the last half, As We Really Are, fully convinced all West of the fine talent of this new class. And they have not stoppedg plans for the years ahead are already under way. Seven-hundred-and-eightyefive strong, the Freshman class gathered together to listen to campaign speeches from their shaky-lcneed classmates. The assembly was one of the first functions of this up-and-coming class. Sponsors who have guided the Freshmen, taught them school tradition and policies, and helped them feel that they are THUNDERBIRDS working together for the good of West are Mrs. Clara Walker and Mr. Bernard Magnusson. One of the most hilarious assemblies of the year was the Frosh class assembly. Anita Conner depicted a typical Freshman singing, l'm a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch. Real onions were used to emphasize the strong feeling of the song. ROW l, Easterly, Carey, Momaw, Garette, Hahn, Salliran, Conrad, Alpept, Peake.

Fourteen veteran Seniors domi- nated the Bird's varsity roster. Beginning the '52 football season much like the l95l year, the Thunderbird pig- skin squad lost a close game to cross town rival North l-ligh l9-l4 as time ran out with the Birds scratching on the goal line, Our next battle was against a team which went on to win the State crown and place tour men on the all state team, Tucson's tremendous power was too much tor the tour-year-old Thunderbird squad as they racked up a decisive 3l-7 victory in Montgomery Stadium. Next weekend we met the runner-ups to the state champions in Phoenix, the Mesa Jackrabbits, who marched goalward tour times to win 28-O and was the only team to keep Thunderbirds from tinding pay dirt last season. tI5Ol Robert Mitchell 146t puts the halter on St. Mary's Donnie Rideau 1211 as teammate Henry Meza 1171 attempts to block .lim May. Birds flying in to help are Russell Blake 1321 and Phil Glaze 1441. West seemed to have found themselves against St. Mary's and made a terrific showing after drop- ping two first quarter touchdowns. Knights had to do some powerful playing in the last half to out- last the improving Thunderbird eleven in a close 12-7 contest. By this time coaches and players got hot under the collar and defeated the hardluck Prescott crew in Phoenix. The Birds poured it on and sent the Badgers back to their mile high city with a 33-6 waxing. Still light-headed from their first victory, the Birds traveled over to neighboring Glendale where they ran circles around the hapless Cardinal team who suffered a 47-O beating. However, All-Amerian Jim Pell and his red hot Yuma teammates clipped our wing feathers with a close 21-l4 victory the next week.

Our last battle, the annual Thanksgiving Eve game, proved to be a regular track meet as every one got in on the act and allowed our backtield stars to tly over the gridiron to amass a 40-7 victory over the hapless Phoenix Tech Hornets.

After three years of hard luck pitcher- poor years, Coach Cecil Crouch turned out a team that was a strong contender for the state championship and was by tar the best baseball squad in our history. Because of publication deadline we are unable to sum up the season standings, but to April lO, the Thunderbird's diamond team boasted a proud 8-4 season record. ln conference play we won three contests to one loss, just one-half game behind first place holders Tucson and Mesa. At that time we were holding a large lead in the city league race with a 5-2 record. ll64l 5 Q.. S 5 sts-sis New . 95, . .

Bill Woods proved to be an out- standing hurler and earned himself a 2-1 record. Relief tlinger Kenneth Schunn led the pitching staff with a 3-O record. Rudy Whitmer won two contests while losing one to tie Woods. Coach Cecil Crouch developed an out- standing team led by the fine hitting ot shortstop Terry Coyle and his batting aver- age ot .341. Other outstanding Bird clout- ers were veteran Wicky Kay and lanky Stan Sack who both pushed Coyle all season. Doug Blakely also got his share of hitsg long- ball hitter Bill Hatcher was always reliable in the clutch. ,. ln defensive playing, Bill Hatcher proved him- self to be one of the best backstops in the state, outfielder Doug Blakely kept the center pasture well under control. Varsity next year will get much good material from the JV team which built up a 5-4 season rec- ord with tour more games to play. Last season we had a Freshman team of which West High was proud. They equalled a mark reached by only one other team on our campus- fhey were undefeated. To show their supremacy the Frosh nine racked out lO.3 runs per game while they held their opponents to 3.2 marks per game. vu. lLEFTl Stan Sack carefully eyes a low-pitched ball in the varsity game against Phoenix Union.

Audrey was chosen by a student-faculty committee on the basis of beauty, personalify, and poise. 903 --A Tradition Begin West's first Homecoming on Novem- ber l4, was an exciting event highlighted by the selection and crowning of a queen, the football game with Phoenix Union, and a big Homecoming Dance after it. The resourceful Boys' League sponsored the affair, which will be an annual cele- bration, at West. Candidates for Homecoming Queen were nominated by Senior homerooms, a faculty-student committee selected the winner on the basis of 25fyo poise, 252, personality, and 50470 beauty. While the Thunderbird band played Let Me Call You Sweetheart and formed a gigantic heart during half-time festivities, Audrey Viliborghi was crowned in full regal splendor. Two convertibles carried the royalty onto the field for crowning ceremonies. Our football victory over the Coyotes was celebrated at the Homecoming Dance in the gym after the game. l9lJ Ax +A' N f 3 'N A 5 , f, R , .gk -55,5 - gm? 3,95 W? f 5 QP, Q XYL 'YQ Nanci .mfg fsffx, F 4. -1-Ad-Q QW? 1 'fx 'K' .

Q v Sick Lucky Thirteen. Diane Roth, l953 alad Bowl Queen, will well remember hat thirteen was indeed her lucky num- er New Year's Day, l953, as she was elped down from the huge copper salad owl in Montgomery Stadium by the cap- Fains of the two competing football teams. Flashing a smile ot victory, Diane starts -down the royal carpet to accept the crown. Her thirty-two Princess from all over the :state are in the background. Diane Roth proudly accepts the covet- ed crown ot copper and turquoise from Diana Laird, l952 Queen. Judged on beauty, poise, and personality, we can well see why Diane was given this honor. West High is proud ot its Salad Bowl Queen.

Themed Pagoda Ball, the decorations of silver dragons, twinkling Chinese lanterns, and large pagodas around the dance floor met the stand- ards set by past Girls' League formals. A typical example ot the fun had by all is a view of the Bunny Hop. Always an important part ot Emerald Evening is the receiving line. Two Chinese-clad girls issuing programs were a unique feature of the dance. Re- ceiving are Dean Eleanor Eullington, Warner Lep- pin, Paula Adams, Bob Mueller, Sue Driscol, Janie Shupe, Terry Coyle are couples just entering the dance. Audrey Vili- borghi, Larry Riggs, Ann Miller, and Harry Asbury complete the line, and Ellen Lucas and Linda Sponsel are the program girls. A high point of the evening was the prize waltz. Audrey Viliborghi, League president, pre- sents the coveted trophies to Irving Miller and Carol Lovelace. The dancers swayed to the music of Dave Kahn and his or- chestra. Entertainment was provided by Dione West's dancers and Dina Donati who sang two Oriental songs.

Eight months of doing the thousand and one things that must be done in producing a yearbook were over for another year-no more nights, Saturdays, and holidays spent working in order to meet the deadline. This is a student publication, it is not perfect in many respects, but the book is representative of the talents of many of your classmates. Today my staff and I present to you the l953 edition of the WESTERNER. We are proud of our work and hope you will like it. A sincere thank you is in order for the following deserving people: MR. MORTON BOSS for the uncountable hours he spent directing the photography production for the annual and listening to the problems that confront a yearbook staff. PHOTOGRAPHY BOYS for spending free time taking, developing, and printing pictures and taking directions from inexperienced hands. MR. JOHN SHERMAN whose superb direction and artistic ability was responsible for the fine job done by his students in page layouts and silk screening of section pages. DIVISION CHAIRMEN-Jack Haehl, Gerry Dawson, Bob Finley, and Terry Dennison-who organized and guided their phase of the yearbook production to its conclusion. MR. ROSWELL WILLARD for pointing the way through uncertain spots and helping us with the do's and dont's of copy writing. MISS ELIZABETH TITSWORTH for devoting her time and the time of Lorna Price and Sally Ann Miller in order to help write the printed words here inclosed. THE STAFF-Danny Blanton, Toni Bond, Rodney Anne Crowe, Jo Phillips, Don Stegner, and Elaine Turken-who spent time and a half in putting the book together. They were top assistants and stood behind me and their work throughout. THE HEARD MUSEUM for helping artists Jack Haehl and Dcn Stegner gather material for the designed section pages. A-BAR-A ENGRAVERS, MCGREW PRINTERY, and ARIZONA TRADE BINDERY for their fine professional work and the help they so courteously extended to us. As we close this edition of West High's Coming of Age memories, I would like to thank YOU the students and faculty who cooperated with us and made this job very worthwhile. YOU made this WESTERNER possible. Your editor, BARBARA GOOR 1232 fi As the Navaio sand painter tells his story with symbolic signs outlined in colored sand, so the symbolism on this page legends the saga of Coming of Age in West Phoenix High School. Representing four years of growth, the Thunderbird sends forth its graduates. The parallel lines lead to higher education which will be sought by many sons of this school. Others will till the soil and reap its fruits for civilization. The happy fortune of many West daughters lies in the promise of marriage and family life. The call to duty in defending our country and keeping it strong will be answered by her stout sons. The field of business and commerce will welcome other well-trained member: of the West family. Unlike the Navajo sand painting which must be destroyed ere the sun goes down, these threads of West activity will go on and on, ever honoring the school from whence they started.
