In our classes We develop understanding of World problems, and a background which should help us in adjusting our own lives to social and economic condi- tions. In our extra-curricular activities we learn to work together with consideration and good fellowship. Now, and in any time of threatening conflict, we hope We may remember the Words of Lincoln: With malice toward noneg with charity for allg with Hrmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. 2 HUWN15 IHH NUM .5123 55 W f 4 if' X 'hx 0 33 , f - - X i Y ' Rs!

SENIOR CDFFICERS We, the last graduating class of West Seneca High School, have had a very busy year. Some of us will be overjoyed at the thought of leaving school, while others wish they could remain in these familiar halls for many months to come. It has been said that one's school years are the easiest years of his life. VVe shall see very soon. This year we have conducted a very successful dance called the Farmers' Formal. Later this spring we are looking forward to putting on a senior play called A'Mamma's Baby Boy. We hope this will be as successful as was our dance. The greater share of success we have had can be attributed to the expert guid- ance and leadership of the senior class faculty advisors: Miss Cameron, for the girls, and Mr. Holser for the boys. Too soon we must go forth into the world, but most of us will carry part of the traditions of West Seneca High School with us always. 10 DUROTH Y ADAMY Duflzy Student Council 43 Acenes 4, Library Club 3, 43 Sorority I, 2, 3, 4, Art Club 4, Glee Club 1, 2, 35 Badminton 1, 2, 'lg Basketball l, 2, 3, 4, Vol- leyball 1, 2, 3, 4.

JUNIORS The -lunior Class, which includes forty-six girls and thirty-five boys, has shown great capabilities this year, participating in all of the school's activities. A majority of the girls are members of the sorority and four hold oflices in that organization. The fraternity includes many of our boys. 'l'he Class of '48 is one very musically inclined, with a number of students participating in the Kilee Clubs and liand. Many others enlisted into the ranks of the Art Club, the Dramatics Club, the Library Club, the llome lfconomics Club, and the lndustrial Arts Club. Young journalists represented us in Acetic-s and Nan-Do-lVah-Gaah, the editor and an as- sistant editor of the latter being -luniors. Showing our interest in sports, the boys were represented on the Varsity Basketball team, in Intra- mural liasketball, on the Football team, and in the Apparatus Club. 'lihere were two girls' basketball teams, and tht- one captained by Alma Ciiblin placed second. Many of the girls also enjoyed the bad- minton tournament. Uur social affairs included the Uhloonlight Serenade dance and a pin sale, which supplied grati- fying financial substantiatiou, and helping the Seniors with the xlunior-Senior Prom and in other ways. 'lihe Class of '48 seems well started on the way to successful and peaceful citizenship. 21 CLASS OF FORTY-NINE P resid 0 nt ..... Vice-Prcsidwzt. . . . . Secretary . . . Treasurer. . .

'liwo boys serving on the Varsity basketball team are John VValdowski and Donald Jentsch, and five more of the class are on the junior Varsity squad. ln the literary field are two staff members of Nan-Do-VVah-Gaah, five of Acenes, and four in Li- brary Club. The Sophomores have shown that they are musically inclined by their participation in the Band and Cllee Clubs. This year a large number of girls entered the Sorority, while many boys were initiated into Fra- ternity. ln February the class presented a program in Assembly, featuring the talents of members of their group, together with the showing of an interesting film. The class is now planning a Spring Dance which they feel sure will be both a financial and a social success. 23 CLASS OF FIFTY President. . . ..... James Sobo Serretnry .... ......

ACENES -- I947 The 1947 Acenes is dedicated to the first year of peace for the world after a second great VVorld War. The staff is the largest in years, and well be it-for this is the last yearbook to be edited for just this building. Next year we expect there will be a centralized edition. The staff has worked hard to give the students a yearbook with which to remember VVest Sen- eca High School. The picture content has been doubled over that of last year, and the pages increased to sixty-eight from forty-tour of two years ago. The editorial staff, which cooperated actively with the faculty adviser, llirs. lliartlia lVorld, were as follows: Editor. . . . .

Each year, those who have a satisfactory a c a d e m i c achievement and have an interest in this organiza- tion are invited to become members. lnitiation this past year was held on De- cember tenth, with the usual ceremony. Under the guidance of bliss Janet lliurphy and the officers, the Sorority has added a most success- ful year to its record. Donations were made to Worthy causes. Activities included not only the monthly meetings, but also a special Spring Dance, and the Annual Sorority Day Picnic. Stu- dents and Alumnae of Beta Sigma Rho look for- ward to many more suc- cessful y e a r s, especially n ow, during transition years from war to peace. FRATERNITY 'llhe l'hi Delta Sigma lfraternity, this year, continued as one of the worthwhile organizations of our school. During the year, it sponsored both a successful skating party and dance. Next year, due to the centralization of the schools in the town, members of the Gardenville and Ebenezer High Schools will be included in the Fraternity.

BAND In the course of the three years that hir. Surra has been band director, the organization has grown not only in size, but in its capabilities. We can proudly say that each year has seen noticeable improve- ment. Last fall the Band played at several football games of the Buffalo Bisons at Civic Stadium, as well as at school football games. This spring the group participated in the April and lllay Parent-Teacher programs, in an assembly concert, and in the lVIusic Festival of the district. This summer the Band will again play at the Erie County Fair, where we hope to repeat our achievement of last year, and bring home another first place award. 44 Row 3: Eleanor Bieler, David Wode, Larry Sierra, Phyllis Berger, Marjorie Regan, jean Aiple, Nancy Meyers, janet Smith, joseph Casuccio, Larry Baumgarden, julana Klopfer, jane Hess, Phyllis Mader.

Surra has supervised a line group of promising youngsters, with representatives from the various branches of the central school district, in- cluding members from the Annex, Allendale, and VVest Seneca. Although most of them will not be in this building next year, the musical knowledge they have gained will be valuable to them as they joined other groups and we feel sure that they will continue to find satisfaction in developing their abilities and in bringing pleasure to future listeners. 45 Row 3: Raymond Barton, VVilliam Daniels, Philip Spence, Jeanette Hamm, Gloria Paolini, Robert Yates, Carole Schottmiller, Phyllis Fenzel, Betty Nappa.

DRAMATICS This year there were so many students interested in Dramatics that the organization had to be split into two divisions: a Junior group meeting on Tuesdays and the Senior group meeting on VVednes- days. Officers of the Junior Dramatic Club are Norma Chapple, President, JoAnn Setloclc, Secretary, and lllarilyn Taylor, Treasurer. The play, 'ADear Lady, Be Bravel' was presented November 7, for a High School Assembly, with the following cast: Robert VVilkde as Dr. Clark, Donald lbletzger as a wealthy bachelor, Norma Chapple llliss lylontgomery, Rlarilyn Taylor as bliss Sweet, jeanette Hamm as lWiss lVIcLendon, ,lack Lang as a colored janitor. The Senior Dramatic group elected VVilliam Fraser, President, lWary Bowen, Secretary, and Dexter VValters, Treasurer. The members have read several plays this year and developed further the acting talent which they displayed last year. The play presented during the latter part of lllay, by the advanced group, was Object: hlatrimonyf' The cast included: Dexter VValters, as proprietor of a matrimonial bureau, ltlary Bowen, as hlizzi, his charming daughter, Raymond Barton, as an admirer of lvlizzi, Robert Yates, as an ebony janitor, Carole Schottmiller, as a lady of color, James Sabo, as a messenger boy, Phyllis Fenzl, as a stenographer, VVilliam Fraser, as a plow pilot, Gloria Paolini, as a deaf widow, Donald lwetzger, as a deaf wid- ower, John lXfIcGrath, as an lrish postman, Sybilla VVagner, as an ardent young lady, Lorraine ltlally, as one matrimonial-minded. Both groups are to be congratulated for their productions, but a large share of the credit goes to their capable director, lVIiss Gregg, who contributed her time and energy in working with the students. 46 LIBRARY This year has been a very pleasant and satisfying one for the Library Club under the guidance of Miss l'helps. illlll' club, although only two years old, has already doubled its membership of last year. lit-cause the group was large it was not possible to have all the aetivities desired. but those we did have were thoroughly enjoyed. Among the most outstanding were the llallowe'en and the lVl1ite Elephant parties. At the beginning of the year we eleeted our oflicers: Uorothy Adamy, President: Joan Russ sell, 'l'reasurerg Sigue Carlson, Secretary: hlarie Casuecio and .lustine lfadale, Directors. Since only two of the girls had ever worked there, most of us proceeded to learn about the system of the library. Two of the most valuable things we learned were to cheek books eflieiently, and to arrange them properly on the shelves. lVe helped to brighten the Library by having displays from time to time: the most elaborate of which was arranged at Christmas time. All of the girls participated in this project, some drawing Christmas scenes from other lands, some painting on the windows, and others deeorating the shelves. 'l'oward the end of the year the Library Club, in cooperation with the school paper, sponsored a contest to determine the most popular book in the Library.
