We have done all this willingly so that you may remem- ber the persons and events which are pictured and recorded, the enjoyment of our school life together, and the joys and sorrows of our year as classmates. This book is for you to enjoy-the record of this year's school history. W WM, 423 W Ml if we MHZ, Qing edication Amid all the confusion of graduation and the end of school, we stop to pay tribute to one of the most important groups of the school-the Class of '57. Today, these Seniors are ours for the last time. Tomorrow, they will belong to the world for which they have been preparing. We, the Annual Staff of 1957, do hereby gratefully dedi- cate our WIMOAH to these Seniors who have set the pattern for the many classes in years to come. The Class of '57 has proved by their cheerfulness and helpful attitude that they are leading us to a better school of tomorrow. To the Class of '57 we dedicate this'book, with our sin- cere thanks for all the help they have given us. ll fl , MWWMM My 442-ffm Oyez' ,QW VW W5 Q 'ymgj flow Qugif WM .J 9,77 5 jf,cf9-zZlf ,awww nl, it ' We W' L3 qu-VT ' 0 J ournallsm Nancy Ha fsos NANCY HAFs0S, senior and editor of the Wiomah, was selected by faculty vote as 1957's leader in journalism. To be outstanding journal- istically, means to understand the finest details from writing a mere page number to the major accomplishment of financing the project. Job performance above and beyond the call of duty has helped put Nancy in the beam of the leadership spotlight. Copy on time, copy correct, pictures scheduled carefully, accuracy to the last detail-these are Nancy's guides to success as editor of the Wimoah. Foresight to plan, hind- sight to avoid pitfalls, ability to switch horses in the middle of the stream, appreciation of the reader's point of view-all these take a person with understanding, patience, and persistence. Her thoughtfully planned steps in organizing the numerous duties required in preparing your yearbook produced a book with a record for smooth working with all the staff and her co- workers. We convey a tribute to her for her loyalty to a chosen task and for her capable management of a tremendous job. 6 Music wsu 'X' i I is Marcia Brown A hush spreads through the audience as MARCIA BROWN, a senior, raises a silver Hute to position and clear melodious notes thrill each and every listener. Marcia was acclaimed by vote of the faculty as the outstanding leader in music for many reasons. She gave unselfishly and rich- ly of her time and talents wherever needed as a soloist, voice or Flute, at the piano, as a member of a singing group, or as accompanist. In each instance the performance was certain to be dis- tinguished. As a soloist there was a rich sensitivity and delicacy in each of her performances. Though this array of activity would presumably be Mar- cia's limit, you'll also find her actively engaged in many student projects that require a top- notch worker, friendly and responsive. With such a busy schedule, what keeps the sparkle in her eyes? It must be because of her reliable char- acter, highly skilled and versatile talent, and loyalty to her associates and to herself. She in- deed deserves the honor so acclaimed. inte... ' Athletics Dramatlcs 4 Shirley Zier On stage or behind the scenes SHIRLEY ZIER, a senior, takes the spotlight with vitality and charm unlimited. Propelled by enthusiasm and originality, Shirley won the hearts of audiences old and young. Poetry, readings, stories, plays, drama, 'or light comedy, Shirley interpreted each sincerely and effectively. Of particular note was her interpretation of Jackie in Belles on Their Toes, the senior class play. Shirley's outstanding achievement comes not only through her talent in dramatics but also through her cheerful acceptance of tasks consid- ered less noticeable. In the behind-the-scenes de- tails in stage production Shirley's competence suffered no slacking. She found happiness in doing any task the best it could be done, and those who worked with her found the tasks only half as difficult because of her cheerful approach. This unpretenious devotion and dependability brings her the acclaim so deservedly hers. Ralph Velasquez RALPH VELASQUEZ, West Val1ey's most valu- able athlete, was an action standout, eye-holding player, and team leader. He achieved this recog- nition in his junior year. Ralph holds an imposing list of athletic ac- complishments. In football he was captain of the football team for 1957, gained honorable mention as the all-league halfback, was the lead- ing ground gainer on the squad, and the best defensive back. Basketball found him the lead- ing scorer, all-league honorable mention and the team's most valuable player. Though the base- ball season was just underway at this writing, he was considered an excellent defensive infielder and an above-average hitter. He probably played more minutes in all sports than any other par- ticipant in school. Through all the games, certainly his stead- fastness and fair play was impressive. On the gridiron, the maple court or the diamond, Ralph was an example of cooperation and willingness, constantly endeavoring to surpass his own rec- ord. He always came through to inspire his own teammates. just what is behind this success? A good share of speed, precise timing, good percep- tion and quick thinking is required, in addition to maintaining an excellent character-honor- able, gentlemanly, and conscientious. 7 ditorgs essage When, in years to come, you renew old friendships through these pages, and feel again the excitement of an athletic tri- umph or a Senior Ballg when the strains of Buckle Down, West Valley' or Pomp and Circumstancen echo through your mind and touch a tender spot in your heart, then, in your rem- iniscence, this year will live again. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Miss Grace Hunton, who was always willing to help out and unselfishly gave her time to usg and to the staff for their work in their respective departments. To Hale Van Scoy and The Republic Press go a 'thank you for their patience, understanding, and help. Through experience, one learns. I hope that each one of you can look back on this school year through this WIMOAH and remember the fun and friends you had at West Valley High.

Froula, Hubert Hull, Otto Gerharl, Ira Woodin. and G. E. Clusen. We want to express our appreciation to the school board for their untiring efforts in carrying out the responsibility of running our school. They met the first Monday of every month to discuss the problems of the school and give final approval to policies affecting West Valley School District. In addition, these behind-the-scenes men are given the responsibility of keeping the whole district operating efficiently. When our new gymnasium was dedicated, the school board took a major part in the ceremonies. The dedication represented the second culmination of long hours and years of planning. The planning of the new Summitview Elementary School is another of their accomplishments this year. Though next year might look as if the work would be hard, we have faith that they will continue the good work that has already been started. essage Mrs. Elmer Cherry, Mr. Harold Griffith, Miss Donna Evereli. The readers and speakers admitted into the grammar schools Within the past two years, or since this reading furor has existed, are not equal to those of former years. The above statement was made in 1864. Some people would make the same or similar com- ments today, but we would not subscribe to such beliefs. Our high school students would prove the statement untrue. The desire and demand for academic achievement and high standards is very much evident in our students and school. Beyond the fundamentals of the three R's our community has demanded an expanded curriculum. This demand has been met with the open- ing this year of our shop building for vocational agriculture and farm shop, arts and crafts, wood shop and an improved music program. AS students and teachers we are proud of our gym- nasium and the opportunity it holds for us in terms of instruction and new activities. We antici- pate with pleasure the new buildings being planned for the high school now. These buildings will give you students a stage and a student center. Your landscape plan for the court area develop- ments and the plantings offers unlimited potential for site improvement. We note that in every phase of the school program more is being offered this year than during the hrst year of West Valley High School. It is marvelous the way students have responded in the desire for personal development. The victory bell can prove a real victory center and can be a symbol for the entire student body. Truly, teamwork has been evident and few indeed have been the constructive suggestions that have not gathered the blessings of both students and teachers. It has indeed been a pleasure to see and to be a part of this development. Students, I commend you for the wonderful progress you have made. I admonish you to ac'cept the challenge offered by your parents. That challenge is to develop as good a school in the classroom, in the activities, and in the student body as parents visualized when they pro- vided you with these beautiful buildings. You have done marvelously well-Continue!-You hold the key to your future and to that of West Valley High. Superintendent L uperintendentgc Principars essage . ,g. 9' 1 Mr. Ralph Lackey, Mrs. Harlo Mason. If you were to write down the characteristics of a responsible person you could compile an endless list. Probably you'd say a responsible person: Cares about and respects others. Wants to carry his share of the load, to meet obligations, to be on his own and not cause anyone any unnecessary trouble. Has a sense of personal worth. He holds himself accountable for his own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Doesn't expect something for nothing out of life. Is a good worker, will make a good parent, good mate, and good neighbor. Responsibility, as you can see, includes many different characteristics. Dur- ing your years in high school you have had many opportunities to develop these characteristics that you might grow up to be a responsible person. Studies by leading psychologists and sociologists have shown that the happy, well-adjusted person is the one with a well-balanced sense of responsibility-toward himself and others. It is our wish that you may have a happy, full life as you take your place in the adult world. 6.4.4 ,229 Principal 1 l ,,..- ,ff 4 Mr. Donald Allgaier Band Mrs. Martha Counsil cial Studies, Home Economics, Family Living if Y' fix- it E Mr. Vernon Beach Mrs. Marilyn Beach Mrs. Leia Berges Social Studies, Coach English, Art Library Faeult Mrs. Belly ,Io Dowd Physical Education The faculty of West Valley High School was well-selected and representative of the better teachers of the area. They were truly very likeable people, and have been very tolerant and understand- ing the past year. They entered enthusiastically into the program of West Valley High's second year. Many hours were spent beyond those in the classroom, and we see the results of such effort in improved classroom direction, additional projects that required student-teacher planning, and the nuclei of new courses for our curriculum. We truly appreciate their enduring patience and willingness to help.

They elected the A.S.B. officers at the end of the school year 1955-56. The oiiicers of the executive council were Lonnie Stull, president: Karl Froula, vice-president: Janet Yergem secretary: Eugene Fairchild, treasurer: and Pat Goodykoontz and Jack Enbom, social co-chairmen. One of their goals was to'bring more self-government to the students. They passed and rejected requests presented by the organizations of the school. The executives, with outstanding ability, demonstrated foresighted leadership. They met each Monday to accomplish the business at hand. Their first activity was held during apple harvest when the student body was excused from school for the purpose of earning money for the A.S.B. treasury. Both the community and students felt it a worthwhile and a very necessary project. The student council sponsored many activities throughout the year, which proved to be very success- ful for them. .

N MPS- Willard Clvw Mr. Dallas Morton and Mr. Ernest BII7 ook, ustodians and us rivers Helping to feed students, cleaning up after them, and transporting them to and from school prove to be considerably large tasks. West Valley High is very fortunate in having such well-liked employees who do these jobs day after day. Mrs. Willard Clow comes from Ahtanum Valley Grade School each day to supervise the lunch program. Working under her are several girls who help with putting the food on the plates. Mr. Dallas Morton and Mr. Ernest Bitz are always sweeping the floors, replacing broken windows, emptying waste cans, and doing many other things that go into keeping a new school looking new. Above all these details is the job of maintaining a comfortable amount of heat for the cold-blooded and the warm-blooded at the same time. They manage quite well to keep everyone pleasantly comfortable. Men who can stand to listen to sixty kids yell, sing, and laugh, the radio blaring, miss reckless drivers and yet deliver passengers to their destination safely, deserve a lot of recognition. The bus drivers of West Valley are men that go through these tortures. Besides all this, they travel many miles to games. excursion trips for classes and music contests and many other little trips that add up. All these bus drivers, custodians and the cook deserve our thanks and appreciation for the services sometimes overlooked.

And, though we are the smallest class, we have proven that size doesn't really matter so much. Studies, honors, sports, dances, and parties kept us busy this year, not to mention all the ac- tivities and clubs in which we participated. In the matter of study, there will always be fixed in our minds the month of working on our English research papers. Oh, what a relief when it was completed! Also taking much of the seniors' time and effort were sociology, chemistry, speech, dra- matics and journalism. Honors came to us through Pat Weiler and Carolyn Sanislo who were chosen Homecoming Queen and Senior Ball Queen, respectively. Joe Wiley made a very handsome King of the Senior Ball, also. We were honored in sports, too, thanks to Lonnie Stull, Ray Esparza, and others who were noticeably good in football, basketball, baseball, and track. On the scholarship side of the honors was Karen Griffith who made us proud by placing in the Scholarship Qualifying Contest in October. We have good homemakers among us, too, with Elaine Heater placing first in the District Cherry Pie Baking Contest. After many long and tedious hours of re- hearsing night after night, the Senior Play turned out to be a ,big success. Tryouts were held after the first semester ended and rehearsing began immediately. Mrs. Doris Lisk, director of the play, did an excellent job of directing the cast. Spring heralded the forthcoming and final activities of the Class of '57. Graduation, that final, thrilling-yet lump-in-the-throat-event- on the night of May 28 saw valedictory honors going to Karen Griffith. After the last gift had been opened, the last robe folded and returned, and the last parting So long, came the realization that our years at West Valley High had drawn to a close. We were now launched on the high seas of life to make the best possible use of the knowledge and skills we had gained.

Karen's thoughtful and tireless work through- out her four years in high school attained for her the coveted average of 4.0. Such a record is in- deed outstanding and inspiring. Her energies and enthusiasm were not con- fined to books and studies alone. She took a live- ly interest in many school functions. She was a member of Pep Club, Future Homemakers of America, Future Teachers of America, Girls' Athletic Association, Band, Debate, Ski Club, Photography, Library, Honor Society, Science Club, Girls' League, Chorus, Annual Staff and Student Council. The lights of her leadership ability were not dimmed by this variety of ac- tivities for she was recognized and served capa- bly as senior class president, A.S.B. secretary, Debate Club president, and Band secretary. With all of this her favorite subjects, Latin, history and library, came in for a good share of her in- dustrious attention. Karen, with seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm, found time to serve on the Bon Marche fashion board, as well as taking part in other community affairs. Her life and accom- plishments are enriched by hobbies of stamp col- lecting, photography, sports, skiing, ping-pong, and music. Karen plans to attend Puget Sound College where she hopes to become a teacher or librarian. Congratulations are extended to Karen for an outstanding achievement. 26 5 Q Murcia Brown MARCIA BROWN achieved second place honor as Salutatorian, with a 3.739 average. for the Senior Class of 1957 at West Valley High School. To attain this honor, Marcia met the chal- lenge steadfastly and competently. The goal was high, the stairs were steep, but Marcia's persever- ance stood her well through her four years in high school. Her vitality was not limited to scho- lastic attainment only as evidenced by her activ- ity in school clubs-Pep Club, Future Teachers of America, Band, Chorus, Honor Society, An- nual Staff, and Senior Girls' Quartette. 'She proved her competence in the student offices of junior class secretary and Pep Club vice pres- ident. But it wasn't all work and no play for Mar- cia. There was also time for such hobbies as sew- ing and sports. Special interests which received her extra attention in school were music, mathe- matics and English. The spotlight most frequently found Marcia participating in one of a variety of musical ac- tivities. Her charm and grace were a pleasing part of her accomplished performances at the piano or flute, with singing groups or as a soloist. To continue her education, Marcia hopes to attend Central Washington College of Education or Washington State College. Her plans for the future include preparation for teaching in the elementary grades. Congratulations, Marcia, for attaining this high honor. AARR '49, X Q- N ov- Z W QWMWW fy' My iunior C ass The governing body of the Junior Class of 1956-57 consisted of four officers, two advisers, and five class members chosen by the officers and advisers according to grade and leadership standards. The name of this group was the junior Execu- tive Council and it served as the ruling body of the Junior Class. All decisions were made by them and, in so doing, meetings of the junior Class as a whole were eliminated. The Junior Class was very busy during the year sponsoring several functions such as the selling of concessions at the college conference held at West Valley, the free dance following the basketball jamboree, December 1, and the most prof- itable function of the year, the Junior Class Play Trail of the Lonesome Pine,'l directed by Mr. Lawrence Lowther. The class officers this year were: Bob Bonnett, presidentg Charlie Tabert, vice presidentg Lou junker, secretaryg Pat Worrell, treasurer. The five Executive Council members were: Judie Weiss, Susan Christianson, jack Enbom, Ralph Velasquez, and George Velikanje. Mrs. Beach and Mr. Wright were advisers for this year.

We were also privileged in that we would be the first class to have completed four years at West Valley. Some of the school dances were sponsored by us and we were honored when Carole Bierman was runner-up for Homecoming Queen of 1956-57. We won the American Red Cross driveg a good reflection on our class. Several of our sophomore boys were on various teams. Besides increasing skill, they added spirit and enthusiasm to our games. The class held another distinction in that all of the songleaders were sophomore girls. In the fall we elected our officers who were: Carl Brown, president, John Gavin, vice-president, jo Ann Shafer, secretary, Roy Campbell, treasurer, John Euteneier, sergeant-at-armsg and Judy Birkby, social chairman. With the leadership of our adviser, Mr. Mick, our accomplishments brought us worthy recognition. Sovnomonlz cuss OFFICERS AND ADVISOR!

Freshman C ass The freshman class had the dubious distinction of being the largest class in the school- even though a few were lost during the first days of school. To main- tain the most effective class government, all business was conducted through executive committee meetings and written notices to class members. Activities to raise class funds required much time and planning. Among these were selling at concessions at games and sponsoring a sock hop. Plans were also in the offing for an all-school function. Special honors came to one of our own when Eileen Bierman was chosen by an all-school vote to represent the freshmen class as princess at the Second Annual Homecoming. In sports, music, and other activities, freshmen were also well represented. Many class members were active in various school clubs and the whole class stepped into the high school routine with interest and enthusiasm. qi' .Ev 1 Q Sealed, left tu right: Eileen Bierman, ,luck Buchanan..

Becky Ault, Editor ams Ta es The RAM's TALES staff can look back on a busy schedule of putting out the first printed paper of West Valley High and be proud of their accomplishment. Putting out a printed paper entails typing the copy and submitting it to the printer. He runs a galley proof and sends it back to the staff, who then cut the articles and paste them up on a page called the dummy proof. The staff again submits it to the printer who runs off a page proof. It is returned to be proofread for errors. They then send it back to the printer with corrections to be made. The paper in its final form is then sent to the school. One of the more difficult tasks of the paper staff is getting advertising to finance the paper. The editors and managers for this year were Becky Ault, editor: Carole Galloway, assistant editor: Janet Bitz, business manager, Doyle Perala, assistant business manager: Barbara Dorn, news editor: Barbara Gerwig, editorial ed- itor: Miles Barber, sports editor: Phyllis Vance. exchange editor: and Dean Hammermeister, art editor. We wish to thank Mr. Keith Wright for his assistance and time in helping us put out the paper this year. We wish also to acknowledge and thank the advertisers and Shields Publish- ing Company for making possible the first printed paper.

Some of these were selling at concessions for football and basketball games and sponsoring several sock hops after bas- ketball games. One of the outstanding of these was crowning the 'LMost Popular Personalities. They also sponsored the contest, 'Sweethearts of the Campus. with students backing their favorite contestant by selling and buying tickets. They ended the year by sponsoring the work day, which everyone enjoyed tremendously. Quite a few hours of work are behind them. They attended several conferences during the year to help put out a better annual, among these was the Republic Conference. There were several special work shops when the Staff stayed after school and worked until 10 and after, try- ing to meet the deadlines. Under the guidance of Miss Grace Hunton, the WIMOAH Staff can look back, with joyful hearts, at a job well done.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Dowd they performed during the half-times, the dedication and homecoming football game. At these per- formances they were dressed in white ped- al-pushers, white sweaters with white ank- lets, and white shoes. They next marched at half-time of the West Valley vs. Toppenish basketball game. For this performance they had re- ceived pleated skirts with white majorette boots. In these uniforms they marched at various other games during the remainder of the season. Their money-making schemes all went for one big purpose which was to get their hats. After they earned this money, they started to raise money to buy lights to use when marching. Officers who were elected to lead the group were Donna Smith, president: Patty Worrell, vice-president: Joy Suckow, sec- retary-treasurer: and Judie Weiss, social chairman. .. irls' eague The Girls' League consisted of all the girls in the student body and was formed For the purpose of stimulating the girls' in- terest in school activities and to acquaint the girls with one another.

The nrogram was planned by the girls and the style show by Miss Freeman, the Home Economics teacher. Along with the other activities was the 'All Girls' Slumber Party held in the high school gym. This was a successful money- naking project in addition to being a hilar- ous and slumberless time. The adviser, Mrs. Lorene Walker, de- serves most of the credit for the achieve- nents of the club.

Major services con- sidered this year have been patroling at football games and other such activities. Because of the late start, much of the work and discussion has related to future proj- ects, aims, and to develop an active and worthwhile organization. 65 unior lass la Trail of the Lonesome Piney The junior class presented The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, a three-act drama, on November 29 and 30, directed by Mr. Lowther.

Senior C ass Belles on heir Toes On March 14 and 15 in the Ahtanum Valley Grade School gym, the Senior Class presented Belles On their Toes, a three-act comedy based upon the Gilbreth family in Monclair, New Jersey, in 1924. As the plot of the play goes, the father of the family had recently died and Mrs. Gilbreth, portrayed by Fran Nonnenmacher, was going to Europe to carry on her husband's lectures on motion study. Eleven of the twelve children were at home and the eldest, Anne, played by Sandy Sanislo, was left in charge along with the handyman and cook, Tom, played by Boyd Whitney. To make some money while their mother was gone, the children rented Mrs. Gilbreth's room to Mr. Hathaway, played by Ken Ormiston, who claimed to be writing a history of the Revolutionary War in New Jersey. They also purchased their own bottle capper and made root beer in the cellar. Tom had his special brew, too. Then, the catastrophe of all catastrophies struck. Cousin Leora, played by Nancy Hafsos, came for a visit. A managing busybody whom none of the children liked, she insisted upon breaking up the family and sending part of them to live with their grandmother in California. In order to save expenses, Ernestine, played by Anne Walker, Martha, played by Barbara Gerwig, and Anne all swore upon their honor to give up dates. Frank, played by Karl Froula, and Bill, portrayed by Dick Birkby, did everything in their power to make their sisters stick to their promises. But their beaus, Dr. Bob-Gene Clasen, Al Lynch-Dave Larsen, and David Loring-Dale Gerritsen, and John Walters, managed to make calls, at the risk of their lives most of the time. Playing the roles of the Gilbreth children were: Bobbie, Pat Weilerg jackie, Shirley Zierg Dot, Elsa Lovestrandg Fred, Eugene Fairchild: Lillian, Lola Kessinger. Mrs. James Lisk directed the play and Shirley Gardner was assistant. The play delighted the audiences and particularly those who could remember the days of the '20s and the charm of the old-fashioned bathing suits worn by Sandy, Anne, and Barbara during part of the play. The well-selected cast brought to life a vivid picture of the Gil- breth's and the humorous predicaments expected of a family of twelve. 'L v ff. 1' F -0 ,fr iwsswa 3 -3 r - -.1 -f .,,. t I .

Indications of the success of the 1956 football season could be expressed by the scores of the West Valley-Prosser game, West Valley-Highland game, and later in the season, the win over Selah. Perhaps the hardest fought game of the year was when the Rams came within one point of tying the then-league- leading Cle Elum Warriors. These games gave the team the needed spark to come through to a fairly successful season as is shown in our score schedule. The first win of West Valley might be attributed to the fact that they were playing the game on the newly-dedicated field. Sportsmanship among the team members was at a high level all season. This was shown by Bernie Lovestrand as he was being carried from the field with a broken leg, when he said, You guys get out there and win. Every game was marked by outstanding leadership. The cheerleaders and songleaders kept the rooting section busy letting the team know, too, that the West Valley students were backing them all the way. ' Climaxing the season was the award banquet planned by the team's mothers, at which time twenty- two players received their letters. The nine graduating lettermen were: Dick Birkby, Chuck Collins, Ray Esparza, Dave Larsen, Lonnie Stull, Tal Underwood, Bill Smith, Paul Morton, and Bernie Lovestrand. The team chose Captain Lonnie Stull to receive the Inspirational Award and elected Ralph Velasquez as captain for the '57 season. Added thrills for the school came when the Northern Division pol1sters chose Lonnie Stull, Ralph Velasquez, and Ray Esparza for berths on the all-star teams. Under the coaching of Art Hutton and Elmer Cherry, West Valley can look forward to having many more great teams.

Those who came to West Valley basketball games this year saw a much improved, more confident group of boys who met their opponents with determination. Win or lose, the school spirit was great at every game, and no one was disappointed with the effort that was put forth by the team as they fought to win. Many times through the season the tension grew to the bursting point in the closing minutes, and the outcome either brought forth the joyful yells of the triumhpant or the mumbles of the dismayed in defeat. But each hopeful fan looked forward to the next game with eagerness and anxiety. To those who were not broken by defeat, but remained constant rooters at each game and gave aid to the spirit of every contest, we would like to extend our thanks. It was because of you that we could ac- cept the sportsmanship trophy awarded to us for outstanding conduct at every game. Thanks is given to the team for their good sportsmanship while on the court, and to the student body for their wonderful conduct while attending the games, also to the cheer and song leaders for theirs in leading songs and yells. Another group that we can honestly say had a big part in helping the spirit grow is the band. Altogether we can see that co-operation on the part of every person participating in the game, the rooting section, the band, or just as a spectator can accomplish much toward furthering the sportsman- B Squad First row: Mr. Ray Beach, coach, John Rogers, Vern Griffith, Bill Cahoon, Al Woods, Roy Campbell, Bill Maggnrd.

The frosh basketball squad of 1956-57 should be characterized by the words try and 'thustlef' A great deal of improvement was shown and at the end of the season the boys on the team demonstrated that they could give most of the other freshmen teams all the competition necessary for an exciting game. Standouts on the team this year were Fred Briggs and jim Gavin. Dick Toop was a consistent per- former and an outstanding rebounder. The most improved player on the squad was Karl Keyes, who, at the end of the season, had developed the coordination necessary to contribute more than his share to the team. West Valley can look to these boys for the future in basketball with confidence that the freshmen of 1957 will never stop trying until the final buzzer.

Nominat- ed and voted to receive this award by his fellow teammates, Lonnie was selected for his special inspiration to the team. his leadership, and the way he played. He brought a great honor to West Valley by being chosen for the All-Con- ference Football team in the position of guard. As captain of the team, he guided the Rams through their second season. Lon- nie has been playing football for two years and proved very successful on the field this year. askethall nspirational and Captain wards B Basketball's honorary Captain award for 1956-57 went to Ray Esparza Cleftj.
