We Dedicate the 1970 10 NESHONOC to You . . . Dr. Edyth C. Swarthout It is a privilege for me to be able to comment on the choice of Dr. Edyth C. Swarthout as the 1970 NESHONOC dedicatee. In the more than 50 years that she has been a medical doctor, she has shown the attributes we try to hold in our profession. She has the heredity of a strong pioneer family which is deeply rooted in the history of West Salem. Dr. Swarthout and her family have been generous in their contributions to worthwhile programs. Her gift to the pool corporation made a swimming pool possible in West Salem. I am pleased to see our young people recognize Dr. Swarthout for what she has meant to them. Her friendship has been a source of inspiration to me. Her courage in the face of physical handicap should be stimulus to us all. ii Board5 Administration Provide Program of Under the direction and guidance of the Board of Education, District Administrator Lionel Strand, Principal William Smillie, Assistant Principal A. John Englerth, Guidance Director June Sletteland and its responsible professional staff. West Salem High School attempts to prepare its students to be responsible citizens, able to cope with and solve the problems encountered in everyday living. It is their intention to adopt a sound program of education which provides the opportunities for each individual to develop the ability to think logically, objectively, and creatively in the world today; to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for a life of personal satisfaction; and to strengthen the highest moral and intellectual values in an atmosphere of respect and understanding. West Salem High School, therefore, is not only an educational institution, but also a symbolic expression of who we are, what we are, and why we are. A. John Englerth, Assistant Principal.

Head Coach Harry Warriner, assisted by Glenn Hartley, led the Panther mat men through the 1969 70 season. Among the outstanding individuals were Don Bahr, Steven Walter, Tom Jacobs, Mike Tryggestad, Mike Miller, and Barry Schimke. 65 Mike Miller rides a Mustang to victory.

Panthers Display Unconquerable Spirit Dave Hanson drops in two. Hindered by a lack of returning lettermen, the Panther cagers got off to a slow start. Displaying a “never say die” attitude, the Panthers improved with each game. Beginning his first year at the helm, Head Coach Bill Riberich styled a disciplined and scrappy team to overcome their height disadvantage. Starting three juniors throughout most of the season, the Panthers built for the ’70-71 season. Returning for the next year are Dave Hanson, Gary Groth, Jerry Ming, and Jim Zellmer.

Under Head Coach Alan Niedfeldt, the Junior Varsity players strove to overcome their inexperience. During the past year, the underclassmen proved their worthiness to accept varsity responsibilities. Outstanding members included Jim Mau, John Zellmer, Tim Morris, and Russ Knutson. Panthers leap at a chance to better themselves. 68 Intramurals—Striving for the Championship Jim Cullmann, with a short jump shot, scores two more. The violent struggle for possession. Under new director Mr. Dale Weber, the 1969-70 intramural teams fought through a tough and challenging schedule. No one team totally dominated the season’s play; this provided for much intense competition for first place. Leading scorers for the season were John Griswold, Duane Knutson, and Randy Griffin. This year, as always, the intramural all-stars are looking forward to their game with the faculty and hoping for a victory. John Griswold prepares to gather in another rebound. 69 Golf Team-Front Row: James Mau, John Zellmer, John Huxsahl. Back Row: Randy Groth, Randy Witt, Gary Groth, Coach Harold Warriner.

High points of the season included a well-earned victory over Coulee Conference champs, Onalaska. A strong group of underclassmen points toward another promising season. The Panther linksmen, under the direction of Coach Harold Warriner, captured fourth place honors in the 1969 conference. The team’s best showings were in the conference match where they narrowly missed second place and in their double victories over Onalaska Luther. 71 Gymnastics—New Competitive Sport Gymnasts Jan Garbers, Nancy Leicht, Nancy Luedtke, and Lynette Hemker reflect grace and agility. In its second year the Gymnastics team under the advisorship of Mrs. Marjorie Jasperson, opened a new competitive sport for girls. Performing on the balance beam, uneven parallel bars, and in the area of floor exercise, the girls trained for competition at WSU, La Crosse, and the Quadrangular meet at Wcstby. This new sport presents an athletic challenge on body motions and movements. Joan Tauscher performs a floor exercise while advisor Mrs. Marjorie Jasperson, Laurene Thompson, and Lynette Hemker offer constructive criticism.

Am I a teenager? 1 laugh, but I can cry. 1 am free, but with limitations. I am bright, but sometimes I don’t use my head. I am afraid, but smart enough to hide my fear. I cry out, but I am silenced. I seek individuality, but want to conform. I am unsure, but try to stand firm. 1 seek right, but often I'm told I’m wrong. I will venture to say that I am like no one in the whole world. I may be no better; but at least I am different. I am a senior in high school. 1 am a freshman in life. Are you a teenager? they ask. Yes, I’m afraid so.” 97 Author unknown
