West Side High School 1928-1968 Life Begins at 40 It is not often that a woman reaches her fortieth birthday without 1 some physical change. The extra puffiness, a few gray hairs, a slightly wo down feeling all herald the beginning of middle age. To compensate for the changes we often find a patina of wisdom, a patience with life and a full respe for daily living. How much can we learn from a person who has lived aı mastered life! With this in mind the yearbook staff set out to visit our Aln Mater to see what we could learn about our West Side family. West Side High School is celebrating the fortieth birthday of her fi graduating class. To our surprise, she showed few physical changes. True t years have added to her birth but her carriage and form are as spry and fit when she was one year old. She greeted us with warmth and put us quick at ease. We wanted to know about the fads and achievements of yesteryear a1 Alma Mater told us a very interesting and enlightening story. “T remember it very well. My first class! Of course, I was nervous. I hi never had children of my own and suddenly I was given charge of so man You feel particulary close to the first, and my first class was composed darlings. They were bright and determined to be successful. I have a pictur here for you to see. This was the faculty. They’ve gone now to other assignments for that gia classroom in the sky. How the class loved them! Their humor and dedicati made them very close to the student body. I can recall the first graduation class as though it were yesterday. Y« young folk of today think you have the corner on wild things. The mini-ski are nothing compared to the flapper dresses of the twenties. Your dances evi are only reproductions of the Charleston era. I get a sentimental pang for t) boys of ’28 everytime I see one of your classmates in bell bottoms. In twenties radios and talkies were the word. Lunch time would find the studen “go-go” over Rudy Vallee and latest film made by Rudolph Valentino. ТІ children worked hard in school and clubs were very active. After a busy scho day they'd rush home to do homework, and when that was finished they'd “т the carpet and dance to tunes played on the gramaphone. There were also fa ranging from live goldfish eating to crossword puzzles. Sports were popular aı the football team played gam es with Glen Ridge, Bloomfield and Seton Ha They had their heroes and idolized them. They came, they saw, they conquer: my heart. I was very proud as I saw the first graduating class leave my hon and go on to success. There was a pause as Alma Mater dwelled on the happy days of her yout Suddenly she regained her composure and resumed her talk. “Т� е 30’s were funny years, modern, determined and yet the depression gave the students a certain sensibility. Their main topic of conversation was the new Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge. The students wore softer line d clothing and skirts were longer. Movies were at their peak and people were thrilled by the Cat and the Canary. Gone with the Wind the all time box-office prize was released. Walt Disney made his first cartoon, its fame spread all over the United States and the world. In fact, his cartoons were so good that they won the Academy awards for eight consecutive years, and they weren’t even in color. In the evening, after homework was finished the families gathered around the radio to enjoy Jack Benny and Amos 'n Andy. Although, Shirley Temple, was the darling of the public, I remember the West Side girls imitated the beautiful Ginger Rogers. The boys were influenced by the sophisticated Fred Astaire. Dances were varied from the romantic fox-trot to the Big-apple. In order to be “in” in those days you had to watch your trucking and Suzie-Q. Music was equally varied. The students hummed such favorites as You Are My Lucky Star and Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown. There were the usual crazy tunes with mixed-up words which confuse adults of all generations; Shrimpers and rise are very nice, indeed! The biggest news in the late 30's was the Worlds Fair. I look back now and remember the develop- ments and inventions of these projects are now household items. Everything would have been very pleasant but the early 4075 brought war. I suppose we all recover with time, but still I wonder? I enjoyed the students of the 40's most of all. I just coming of age and as you young people might say, things were really swinging. The jitter bugs were doing the Lindy to the music of the big bands, Glen Miller, the Dorsey Brothers and Duke Ellington. “Zoot suits with a reet-pleat” were uniform for the boys. The girls came to class in pleated skirts with “Sloppy-Joe” sweaters; saddle shoes and anklets completed the outfit.” We looked at Alma Mater as though she were speaking Greek. She looked up and gave us a motherly smile. “I almost forgot you aren’t hip enough to dig my meaning. Zoot suits were jackets with wide lapels, shoulder pads and a long cit.” Band Can you imagine the kind of mu- sic this band played? Maybe mu- sic for the Red Cross? Faculty Wow! What a faculty with all their mink coats and pin striped suits We gave a smile of understanding she continued. “The forties saw our students changing their school clothes for uniforms. School work was one part of a busy student day. The girls and the younger boys worked after school in the war effort, either as Red-Cross aids or relieving an office worker for defense purposes. Many a letter was written in the cafeteria or wedged in between classes. Music was either patriotic as “Т� е White Cliffs of Dover” or side stepped the seriousness of the war “Marezie-Dotes” or “Laura”. Even with the man shortage school teams were going strong. As ever, films were the mainstay of entertainment; many of you still see on television. Alice Faye, Betty Grable, John Payne, and Carmen Miranda were grinding out musical-comedies which usually had patriotic leanings. How many films ended with the Andrew Sisters carrying our flag on a battleship, while a cast of hundreds in various patriotic costumes waved and sang “When the Lights Go On Again?” Our students accepted the privations and disappointments of war. Despite the long bus lines, they arrived on time. When prom dates were in service, they bravely sat at home. When called to do more than what is usually expected of a student; they gladly responded. “Alma Mater stopped and mused perhaps remembering her sons who died for their country. She brightened up a bit and continued, “V-E and V-J Day in the United States were days of complete chaos. People were happy and thankful that their loveones were safe. After the war a period of prosperity came to America. Soldiers returned to face such problems as job readjustment and a housing shortage. West Siders continued to lead a full school life. Frank Sintra and Bing Crosby were the leading pop singers. I guess you know these two as older men now, but in the forties the police had to hold back throngs of bobby-sox- ers” who crowded around these personalities. I can remember the student dances with songs as “Prisoner of Love,” “Heartaches” and “Linda.” The students dress changed. With the end of rationing they could have many pairs of shoes. Suede loafers with composition soles gave way to real leather shoes. The “New-look” arrived from Paris. Girls began to wear dresses with hem-lines an inch or two above the ankle. The men began a trend toward color in clothes, perhaps a reaction to the drab-colored military uniforms, and bold checked jackets with wide color splashed ties were in vogue. It was a much different world in 1949 than that of 1940. Swimming Coach Dispenzier led these wa- ter mermen on to victory My! What skinny legs you have Better to swim with my dear. 1411 Т� е fifties were the year of the now so-called, silent generation. The students at this time were serious, co-operative and dedicated. Beneath their youthful exterior there was a surprising maturity. They look to school as the natural means toward their goals. West Side life was different radio and movies were losing footage to the television. “Uncle-Milton Berle” and “Fireside theatre” were the topic of discussion. “ГЇЇ give you a shot in the head or “ГЇЇ kill your a million times” replaced the outgoing “hubba-hub- | ba” or “Kilroy” clique. The addition of the crinoline to the long skirts gave girls a softness reminiscent of the pre-civil war period. Hair was cut short in imitation or respect to Ingrid Bergmans portrayal of Saint Joan. The roller derby became the sport to follow after a week at school. Report cards, clubs, and election of class officers were very special occasions for the students. Drivers’ education was added to the curriculum. Music was varied from Montivani and his romantic strings through calypso beat to the insanity of Rock’n Roll. Toward the latter years of the decade, America was invaded by the “beat-nik.” Alma Mater broke off here. The determined look in her eyes we know better than to pursue that subject. A smile came over Maters face. “What's to say, man? Do my West Side kinds dig me? Listen Babe, I had this scene and I groove the most.” Her answer to our stunned faces was a long laugh. She collected herself to tell the tale of her youngest graduates. “Really, the children of the sixties see, to have everyone running wild. I sit back and relax. Гуе been through too many things to think that the “mini-skirts” is going to end civilization. What’s a mini-skirt except the same thing I saw years ago. Dances? Is the Funky-broadway” etc any less crazy than the Charleston? Leave it to the young, I say. I tried to do one of their dances and was laid up for a week. Music? I wonder if any tunes give promise of dedication as “The Impossible Dream?” Twirlers This picture is typical of the twir- ler’s in the 40% Time cures all ills! “Yes, the students of the sixties reflect the same thoughts as those years ago. They learn about themselves, study others, think, resolve to go into the world and improve it. And they do. Each class plays its part in the process of civilization. This is my reason for being, my pride and satisfaction. Soon they'll be leaving, this class of '68. Гуе worked hard and enjoyed them. Гуе done all I can. Soon they must leave their home and go on to others. Alam Mater looked tired. It was time for her summer nap. She raised her head and said, “The sixties are your years, you tell me about them.” We looked at each other hesitantly and finally some one said, “There's not too much that we can tell you that Cheerleaders you don’t already know”. You have seen over 40 graduating classes pass through your These are the girls that led the school in door-staking that first plunge into life. Perhaps without your help some of those students victory. Check the costumes out. wouldn’t have succeeded in life. This has been your story not ours; we just have the pleasure of being your fortieth graduating class. We salute and praise you for giving us the foundation needed to enter into the world. Most important of all we give you our sincere thanks. Now we come to the good old 60's, and the Me] Babies are singing. D |Р) 1928 Administration 1968 Mr. Charles Brodsky Principal Mr. Alan Johnson First Principal ` The old suits with the wide collar jackets and cuffed pants have changed, but schools have not. In the 19205 and 1930's schools needed someone to set a pattern to be followed, someone to help students and help teacher’s face situations. This person needed pa- tience and tolerance necessary to meet and solve all problems of the school. When West Side opened Mr. Allen Johnson was principal. He had definite ideas about how to foster success in students. The stu- dents knew the principal of West Side was boss. Our principal, Mr. Charles Brodsky carries on in the West Side Tradition. He is aware of the difficulties facing our school and its students in this time of great academic change. He knows that stu- dents’ success in the future will depend on how well they are educated. Our principal is doing everything possible to maintain our school’s high standards of education so that each and everyone of us, will have a highly successfull and productive future. We want Mr. Brodksy to know that we appreciate the fact that he is a leader and pacesetter at West Side. We, the 40th anniversary graduating class would Brodsky to say “Thanks,” to Mr. Brodksy. Robert Lett Assistant to the Principal The world has advanced from primitive condi- tions to the present day Space Age. Even though the world undergoes changes the people remain the same. Dignity and quality is still recognized by our society today. West Side has been fortunate for years to have such good discipline personnel, In 1928 Mrs. Bernice Hamilton, former vice-president, doubled as both advisor and discipline director. This position is now filled by Mr. Robert Lett, assistant to the princi- pal. His ability to cope with different matters, pleas- ant or unpleasant, has made him known and recog- nized by the students of West Side. Such a man will never be forgotten but will stay in the memories of all West Siders. Mr. Alvin Panzer Vice-Principal In 1928 West Side acquired its first vice principal, Mrs. Bernice Hamilton. She was an example and friend to the students of West Side. Today we have another outstanding vice principal, Mr. Panzer. His assistance and understanding is most helpful to students. Mr. Panzer lends a helping hand to all of those whose goal is success. He'll consider all problems whether they're large or small. Mr. Panzer is constantly telling us to open the door, to the knock of success and to make a pattern of our own. Because of his kind consideration and devotion, Mr. Panzer is greatly admired at West Side. We, the class of June 68, wish him success in his future years at West Side.

The 1928 graduating class of West Side set aside a page in their yearbook to thank Mr. Charles E. Dull, their class advisor, for his guid- ance. We the 1968 class find ourselves equally debted to Mrs. Lois Thomas and Mr. Gerald Klass. How can we thank two people who brought us such happiness and good times? In the 20’s students crowded the halls, rooms, and cafeteria just as they do now. They were faced with some of the same problems. Students haven’t changed much and they still rely on adult under- standing and willingness to help. Our class advisors have helped us plan activities that'll be forever remembered. We, the 40th anni- versary graduating class wish to extend an ap- preciation and thanks to our class advisors and friends, Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Klass. Guidance Counselors Everyone, at one time or the other, wants some sort of love and affection to soothe their wounds and lend a helping hand when needed. Let’s reminisce about 40 years. In 1928 West Side didn’t have a Guidance Department. The students received their advice and counseling from Mrs. Bernice Hamilton, former vice-principal of West Side. The passing years have seen formed a well-organized guidance department that has cajoled us into taking things that will help us in the future. Even though the staff has been put through trying moments and many ordeals, they still maintained their objective of opening our eyes to greater oppor- tunities. While attending West Side we have received ad- vice and Counseling from Mrs. Alice Norton, head counselor, Mrs. Eleanor Korfmann and Mrs. Frances Kaplan, our class guidance counselors. We, the graduating class of '68, express our sin- cere gratitude to the guidance department for being an everlasting beacon in the sea of life.

As we come to know people and associate them with outstanding traits; we can also come to know homerooms and their traits. 201 This homeroom has received the title, “Most Happy Go Lucky” because of their warm nature and smiling faces. This trait is true of many of our seniors, but the majority are in this homeroom. 206 This senior homeroom has received the title of “Most Carefree” because of the delightful and cheerful students that are found in this homeroom. They constantly seem pleased with everything and are forever happy and pleasant. It is true that there are things that all students cannot agree on but this one big family in homeroom 206 is fortunate being able to agree on most of its problems. It is good to see a homeroom so cheerful and bright and we can only hope others will follow their example. 209 “Most Considerate” has been given to this homeroom because of their thoughtfulness and regards for others feel- ings. Their warm hearts and open hands will remain in our hearts for a life time. 219 The “Most Liberal” senior homeroom can be classi- fied as 219 because of its considerable majority of broad-minded students. The students of this homeroom are very kind and tolerant to each other as well as their fel- low-class mates. The generosity that these students offer can never be repaid. They think very highly of others generous acts as well as liberality. We would like to say thank you for being a part of our senior class. 223 Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this homeroom is the “Most Athletic” because of the great majority of students that represents the football, basketball, and cheering squad. Their skillful role in each of these categories can best describe how they obtained this title. We wish you lots of luck in your future athletic years. 300 Mr. Repoli, arrived at West Side this year and was assigned to a homeroom which displayed excellent leader- ship. Their connections with the Lamp, Student Advisory, chorus, cheering, football, and basketball squad has been enough evidence for them to receive the title “Most Repre- sentative.” 302 There isn’t much you can say about this homeroom. The students constant ability to receive honors for them- selves, their family and school has proven them to be very successful. To this homeroom, we wish the best of everything and we sincerely hope they use the title “Most Likely to Succeed” wisely. 314 “Most Original” best fits this homeroom because of the creative and inventive minds that are in it. Their constant ability to create new fangled and new fashioned ideas has aided this graduating class a great deal. Their novel ideas prove to be very successful in this modern society. 320 The primary duty of a scholar is to be schooled and master what the schools can teach. This best describes Mr. Aslanian’s homeroom because of a great number that fill these qualifications to a great extent. To you, we extend our gratitude for being part of our class and hope you used the title “Most Scholarly” honorably. To the Senior class, we wish to extend best wishes in your future years. 71 Faculty Advisor: Mr. James Student Representative: Clifford Shockley Faculty Advisor: Mr. Friedman Student Representative: Angela Rodd Faculty Advisor: Mr. Cutrino Student Representative: Cye Newman SPEND SOHN 6.0929 Faculty Advisor: Miss Matuzas Student Representative: Denise Miller ооа б ез. б نی‎ SEND 75 Faculty Advisor: Mr. Friedman Student Representative: Cye Newman MIO Zs RORY ما‎ — 0 2 = هیوز ET M ә On Cj s S Student Representative: Brenda Bell Faculty Advisor: Mr. Taylor 76 Faculty Advisor: Mr. Salerno Student Representative: Perry Owens ss == = P r 1 n C e t 0 1 C i u b Faculty Advisor: Mr. Salerno Student Representative: Donald Fenner Faculty Advisor: Miss Sullivan Student Representative: Odell Poole of 4 | ) | — sn EEO S=.

The only thing which remained was the feature section of the book which consisted of feature articles, clubs, and sports. The Feature Edito: of this year’s Lamp was Veleria Brown. It was her job to see that every sen- ior’s name appeared in that section. The job of cover- ing the sports was left up to Lamar Laster who did a great job indeed. As in all successful organizations leaders are needed. It was the Lamp’s privilege of having two leaders, Sandra Grace and Philip Easton who were Co-Editors of the yearbook. It was their job to see that arguments were kept down to a mini- mum and see that deadlines were made. Although deadlines were missed and arguments did occur, it is safe to assume that everyone enjoyed himself. We can congratulate each other and the class of 1968 for a job well done. Ав the year comes to a close so does the work of the 1968 yearbook staff. The staff has contributed its time and effort to make this year’s Lamp one of the best yet. Under the watchful eyes and guidance of Mr. Thomas Hunt, the advisor of the Lamp, they have gathered together and recorded data for the yearbook. But a good yearbook can not just be thrown together, it must be planned. This action started back in September. The Art Editor, Cye Newman; designed the cover and every page. An interesting cover is necessary to draw the attention of people, but the contents of the book are more important to keep the senior attention. This was done by the Layout designs of Tony Latham, and the fine literary work by Mary Johnson, who were both Editors. In life as well as business, things must be neatly done and easily read. The secretarial burden fell on two Typing Editors, Valerie Thomas and Lisa Douglas. Their typing staff which consisted of Debbie Avery, Darlene Robinson, and Alberta Lomax. Colzie James and Patricia Shorter did some of the proof reading. Designs, ideas and literary work are important but, the backbone of the year- book is the pictures. The task of sorting pictures and making appointments with the photographer was left up to Mae Smith who was the Photography Editor. It was her job to keep the pictures together and make sure none were lost or stolen, which was a job in itself. Mae Smith Lamar Laster Lisa Douglas Valerie Thomas Tony Latham Cye Newman Mary Johnson Debbie Avery Patricia Shorter Veleria Brown Alberta Lomax 2 PR: . Am uu Xr د‎ A Cheer for the Leaders Jean Jackson, Captain Theartis Mansfield Jacqueline Lewis Beverly Baskerville The art of cheerleading has been a tradition at West Side for many years. The first cheerleaders were introduced to West Side in 1933. At this time, the squad consisted of five boys that had the job of enlivening the team and the school with school spirit. The males held the position until 1946, when the first girl cheerleaders were presented to the school. From 1946 to the present, we have had female cheerleaders representing our school. They have given their dedication and determination to the school and team by cheering our boys on to victory. Because of their hard work, long hours, and trying moments the cheerleading squad has developed into a fine example of outstanding character. We salute and compliment the cheerleaders on a job well done. 86 CHEERING SQUAD Ist row (r. to 1.) Norrice Canady, Jean Jackson. 2nd row (r. to 1.)

The selected squad consisted of thirty o forty skilled girls. The uniforms were some what differen twenty-six years ago. They were green gaba dine suits with homemade white epaulettes Green felt hats with a white feather, and whité rubber boots completed the outfit. The uni forms were below the knee. Today the uni forms are different! Shorter skirts, leathe boots and smaller hats make up the uniform In 1941 names like Audrey Fits Maurice Doris E. Johnson, Ellen Kane, and Ma Judge (who teaches under the name of Mrs Bolger), established the twirlers fame. Today names like Captain Theresa Lester, Co-Cap tain Dianne Matthews and Jeanne Panaggio and Drum Majorette Susan Anistranski leads the squad of skilled West Siders to success. West Side has always had a great twirling squad and this year the girls reached a ne high for a group which has always held perfec tion as a standard.

Some would say 115 a good coaching staff. Oth- ers have said that it depends upon team personnel. Whatever the in- gredients are, we, managed to sal- vage all of them this year. We put them together, and lo and behold we had a great team. The kelly green clad Roughriders brought pride back to dear old West Side, and gave us a reputation that will be long remembered by all. With superb running from our speedy backfield which consisted of players like Paul Brundridge, Greg Walton, Bruce Allen and Ir- ving Callender and a fearsome line has no equal, the “Roughriders COACHES—Tony D'agostino, Thomas Higgins, Vin- cent Minstreta, and Ed. Wa lton tromped all that came into their paths”. Linemen like Steve Rob- erts, Wayne Zackery, Charles Walker, Buzzy Williams, Joseph Martin, and Joe Snead, (all of whom weigh over 200 Ibs.) added the finishing touches to an offense that could strike with blinding speed, from anywhere on the field. We all know, however, that de- fense makes the club, and ours did just that. West Sides’ defense was one of the best in the state, never giving an inch without a fight. De- fensive specialists like Lamar Laster, Jeffery Vaghn, James And- erson and a host of the above men- tioned offensive players made this stone like defense the best ever pro- duced by West Side. Who brought these many ele- ments together in such perfect or- der? Why the unsung hero’s of every team of course. We now give our sincere thanks to West Side’s football coaching staff for they are truly the reason for our great success this year. Thank you linecoach Tony D’agos- tino and backfield coach Vincent Minstreta. Last but never least, we extend our humbled thanks to Mr. Thomas “Jerk Jersey” Higgins, who heads this pot bellied staff, for a job well done. Thank you all, players, coaches, students and faculty for making this year so dear to our hearts. TEILS 4 522.

Others who will be scoring high in this years competition are: 1 hurtler Phillip Taylor, sprint star David Anderson, James Daniels, and Greg Walton.

James Smith Captain М 94 Wayne Zachary Picked to be city or co-city champions the West Side Court Kings set out to prove why this prediction was made. The cry was heard throughout the city that West Side was on the move and was not to be stopped. There was no team in this years tough city league that didn’t feel defeat at the hands of West Side High School. Angry because they were not ranked as a leading State contender; the Roughriders prepared to meet Central, 1 in the city, for the second time. Due to the loss to Central in the opening game and not being considered in the State was just the panacea needed to give West Side the fury to win. Central was literally swamped. This win entitled, us to be ranked as 13th in the state and a shot at the state crown in the Atlantic City tournaments. Dannie Miller Leon Herbert Warren Williams All of this would not have been possible if it had not been for leadership. This job was fulfilled by a good coach and a good captain. Jimmy Smith was that captain and the best defensive man on the team. With most of the offense coming from fantastic shoot- ing by John Snow, Dannie Miller, Wayne Zachary, and Aulcie Perry. West Side could not be touched. Individually they were all matchless. Snow was one of the leading scorers in the State averag- ing c lose to twenty-two points a game. Aulcie Perry literally ruled the boards against all competition. His board mates Dannie Miller and Wayne Zachary had two of the best corner shots in the city. With these boys playing for us how could we possibly lose. Aulcie Perry 95 96 SOCCER THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS That is just what our soccer players thought at the close of the season. The leaders of the team were Peter Loguidice, Frank Fields, James Monroe, and Stephen Attles. These boys led the team to a 2-6-2 record. The senior class would like to thank these people for a job well done. _FENCING 9 RS u. F — یم‎ un — m Wait Till Next Year This year’s fencing team had tlie unfortu- nate luck not to have a single senior on the team. This might be one of the reäsons for a mediocre season. Most of the juniors and sophomores however declare that next years team will be a strong contender for a first place spot in the city. To you, we wish best of luck next season. 97 98 CROSS-COUNTRY As the cross-country season comes to the end we find West Side on the top of the pile. These fleet footed Harriers have crushed all opposing schools in city league competition to become undefeated city champs. The teamed was sparked by the fine run- ning of Captain Robert Coleman and the leadership of Sharpe James. The other senior on the squad was Ronald Alston who also did a marvelous job to keep West Side in the front. Next year’s team will be led by this year’s co-captain Leslie Pleasant who scored for West Side this year. Not only did the cross-country team compete in the city but also in state, county and invitational meets. The team placed first in the Roselle Catholic Turkey Trot, third in the Essex County meet Cham- pionship and fourth in the State finals. We of the senior class would like to thank and congratulate the team for a job well done. A Rough Dip Yes, it was a rough season for the West Side “Mermen,” but far from being disastrous. With competition as keen as shark’s teeth, these amphibious Roughriders came closer to breaking the 500% mark with a final 5-7 record in this always tough city league competition. Nevertheless, with all the problems that involved the swimming team certain personalities emerged as great swimmers that could hold their own against any person or persons. There was no one captain of the swimming team, but tri-captains. These boys were said to have scored over 300 points together. These triumphant mermen were: Jeffrey James, Anthony Green, and Andrew Daniels, all are underclassmen who will be back next year. Jeffrey James, says Coach Gadson, was a utility man; meaning he could do anything and most of the season he did just that. Others who emerged as above average were James Walter and at last our only senior swimmer Anthony Wilkins. Walter was said to be the most improved swimmer, and Wilkins is said to be the most determined swimmer to reach West Side. To all of these boys the Senior Class of “68” says thank you for your valiant efforts. 100 1. to r. Henry Washington, Pete Logudice, Don Fenner, Larry Allen, Robert Fields, and Joe Pelligrino As always the baseball season opened, with the daily practice sessions in the boys gym. Coach Dispenziere was very optimistic about this years team. Who wouldn’t be? After all, with boys like Captain Donald Fenner an all-city centerfielder and first baseman for two years running, and Co-captain Peter Logudice an all around ball-player, how could one help but be optimistic. Other players that have caught Mr. D’s eye are second year men, Henry Washington, Gregory Walton, and Joesph Peli- grino. These boys have gained much praise from their coach and are making showing in this years race for the city-championship. mI.

Under the leadership of Mr. Ken Wa- ters, and the fine wrestling talent of Ken Washington the team advanced rapidly to per- fection. We the senior class would like to thank the boys for their effort and time in the little talked about sport. 102 Ken Washington-trying to stop a sitout There he is again still trying Now he is really strong The horror of it all The problem is who's on top? 103 Y'all need get a job.

The class cast of ambitious, dedicated and talented seniors presented a one act play entitled “A Day of Absence.” Costumes, scenery and grease paint transferred students into members of a south- ern community faced with the problem of living without Negroes for a day. Under the direction of West Side’s own Mrs. Eleanor Goldenberg, the class car- ried otf the play with success. It was a proud affair and marked the beginning of the end of senior activities.

A woman is a sometime thing. T'ain't necessarily so. Musical Another opening another show is only way to describe the musical part of On and Off Broadway. It consisted of musical excerpts from “Porgy Bess, dances, and other songs. This part of our play vented the endless talents which many seniors displayed throughout the production and weeks of re- hearsal. The musical production needed two directors, Mrs. Кас.

Summertime Oh I can't sit down. Waiting for a cue. Senior's Life i | m эй 114 With his talent and creativity he has al- ways found the answer to the problems we have encountered. His work with the students has been out- standing. He has sacrificed lunch and lei- sure by denoting his time and loyalty to aiding his staff. Many times he has had a group of students working at his home with him to meet a deadline. Through all this rush and hard work he has always managed to cheer them with a smile. Thomas Padraic Hunt Since the school was built 40 years ago, we have had numerous yearbook advisers. West Side is fortunate to have on its staff a man who has worked on the yearbook for six years. This is no other than our well-liked teacher, Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt is an English teacher, married and has four children in school. Aside from his responsibilities to his family and stu- dents he has denoted a great deal of his time to helping six senior classes with their year- books. I9 20 21 723 21 25 26 271029 Mr. Hunt has taught us the wisdom of cooperating with others by accepting and using the ideas of the staff. At the same time, he has emphasized the value of having aims and purposes and setting high standards for one’s work. To you, Thomas Padraic Hunt, there is no reward that can adequately honor you for what you have done, but we hope that our grateful thanks may in a slight measure show our understanding and appreciation.
