DEDICATION To THE MPIN of the Faculty of Yvest View High School who are serving in the armed forces of the United States of America, Private Richard Camp, Cadet Iohn Davis, Private Robert Jordan, Lieutenant Elmer Puchta, and Private Carl Zerke, we sincerely dedicate this issue of the Wlestvian. The students and faculty of our High School appreciate the service and devotion which these men are giving to their country in her hour of needl Unselfishly and willingly they have left the pleasant rooms and corridors of our school to take their places in history beside the heroes of Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and Verdun. In these days when America faces the greatest test of her history to determine whether she shall remain a free nation of free men it is highly significant that the men of our free educational system of public schools have not hesitated to meet their country's calll VVe have missed these friends in the past year who had been so concerned with our lives and constantly endeavored to make West View High School a better place in which to live. They were an integral part of what we know to have been the most important and formative years of our lives. They advised, encouraged and inspired us as we traveled along the paths of enlightenment and knowledge. In classrooms we came to know them as worthy examples of the teaching profession. They made their subjects become interesting and worthwhile. In our activity program they sponsored our class organizations, our school paper, our athletics, our music, and many more of the things we have learned to recognize as the heritages of education passed along in a free America. Vtle are looking forward to the time when the clouds of war shall have faded away and these soldiers of Uncle Sam shall once again resume their places in our Alma Slater. re RlCHARD CAMP Jonx DAX'IS RKJBIiR'Ii Joklmx ELMER PUcu'rA QXARL ZERKIQ FORWARD. DUFFY SENIOR DEAR Mom, The sergeant granted me a furlough so I decided to go to XVest View High School and attend some of their past year's classes, activities, and sports. I arrived here in time to see the confusion of the first week and the transformation of Sophomores to Iuniors and Juniors to Seniors. Speaking of their seniors, Mom, you never saw such a swell bunch of intellectual folks. It reminds me of some of my high school days. It's nothing unusual to see a young fellow and girl in the halls talking and laughing which ofcourse only seniors have the nerve to do. I wish you could have been here to see their senior class play, Growing Painsu, which was a huge success. Quite awhile ago they had a spaghetti dinner at a place called the Lodge in North Park. They barn danced and sang and played all sorts of games. In February, they had a big dance where everyone interested in dancing really had their chance. Honest, Mom, I've never had so much fun as these people have shown me, so in order not to miss anything, I'1l close until later.

SW -- SENIOR ACTIVITIES This is an official Communique reporting on this day, lWay 1, the past year's maneuvers of the senior class of West View High. What a year it wasfjust crammed full with activities of every size, color, and shape. The size was in various lengths, the color, redg and the shape, hollow thin strips. No, we won't forget the spaghetti dinner held at North Park Lodge on October 26. Enough spaghetti was cooked on that afternoon by Mrs. Romito and several senior girls to feed a regiment, and a regiment it was. One hundred and fifty strong turned out to feast upon the delicacy of spaghetti with meat balls . . . The spaghetti had just been digested when along came the senior class play, on the night of November 7. Growing Pains scored a perfect hit. Citizens of West View laid aside their important problems for a bit of laughter and cheer with the seniors. YVe grown up seniors returned once more to the problem of growing up, and the pains connected with such, both mentally and physically. All the little things from our earlier days that so many of us had forgotten were freshened in our memory, and UGrowing Pains proved to be a delight for the cast and audience as well. The Federal tax was counted on the play tickets, and the profits were safely locked in the strong box in the office when we all went Hollywood. Vive didn't board any moving vehicle and wend our way westward, but we became concerned with cameras, hair styles, hair cuts, and clean white shirts. Instead of going west we hailed a passing street car and proceeded into the big city of Pittsburgh to have our graduation pictures taken. Pretty senior girls flashed their most beguiling smiles for the man with the birdie, and handsome young Romeos set their rugged jawlines at distinctive angles. Then a few weeks later, amid groans and cheers, we received the proofs of our various countenances .... The year was nearing the halfway mark when we enter- tained ourselves and the rest of the school with the Senior Serenade. The gym floor donned festive decorations. The lights were lowered and the atmosphere was one of romance and gaiety, as we tripped the light fantastici' to the music of Iohnny Fontaine and his or- chestra. Things were fast drawing to a close, as we ordered commencement announcements, name cards, and the other essentials necessary for a climaxing graduation. We began to realize that we were about to close the book of our high school life and our ever-memorable senior year. Thus we spent the last year of our school days, school days, dear old Golden Rule days.

DUFFY THE BCJSS DEAR MOM, Pm on my way to the office tno, I wasntt had and cliclntt throw paper wadsj, but Iym going to have a man-to-man talk with the two men who really keep this school on active duty, They are Mr. Horsch, the supervising principal, and Mr. Paynter, the principal. I hear they are really swell pals and clon't even resort to capital punishment. Gee, I wish people had believed that way when I was still pushing a scribble stick. There are thirty-five school Hmarmsn and Umasterst' who keep the kids, I mean stu- dents, on the straight and narrow path. I hear that it's only in rare cases that they make children stay in for throwing erasers, and thevve practically done away with home work. The teachers think that itys too harcl on onets constitution to study at night, thut all this is just a rumor- eso don't tell any- one yetj.

DUFFY Tl-IE CLASSMATE DEIXIZ Mobi, Although I'Ve been visiting Yvest View for quite some time, I still havenlt seen it all. The other day one of the majors took me around to visit some of the classes. Somehow, at first I was quite confused because one room was studying American history and the next was studying VVorId history. I couIdn't ligure this out, hut then he explained that one is taugh tin tenth grade and the other in eleventh. Something else which surprised me was an announcement of a tenth grade class meeting. I asked him about it, and he informed me that tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades are all organized. Geel That must he swelll V270 never had that when we were in school. They seem to get so much more accomplished this way before they get into the tougher johs of eleventh and twelfth grades. I've heen kept busy from early morning 'til late at night, so if I want to stay alive IRI hetter have lights outn for tonight.

We didn't say a word all the while our senior friends made us almost green with envy as they enthusiastically and proudly turned the con- versation into one concerned with senior acti- vities. Wle took a back seat and listened, know- ing that someday the time would come when we would find ourselves in the same position, and in want of undergraduate ears to listen to our never-ending stream of adjectives, nouns, etc. Duffy and Hludyu admit that they too have had to succumb to seniority rights and would like to be enlightened as to lower class activities. So having found two pairs of ears willing to listen to items of lesser importance, the undergraduates of VVest View now head the list. Frivolous occasions retreated this year as sugar rationing, alumnum drives, and the Stars and Stripes took the lead. Uncle Sam beckoned and the citizens of our high school and com- munity were at his beck and callf' Despite the fact that social events were doubly hard to put across because of the upset world and economic conditions, every endeavor of the junior class proved to be a smashing success. The juniors sholildered arms, quartered troops, and presented an array of talent that was a credit to their class. It was a Nlonday morning in assembly when the seniors of next year first showed the students of this year what the junior class was made of. The program proved to be a take-off on cer- tain members of our learned faculty, who in their positions as teachers at times deviate from such, and present to their students incidents of a rather hilarious nature. Said teachers leaned back in their seats and saw themselves as we students see them during that A. M. On November 21, the entire student body donned their finest raiment and presented them- selves on the gym floor at half past the hour eight to dance to the smooth, suave rhythms of Charlie Laun and his orchestra. The junior Class scored another victory as the eveningis dancing was enjoyed by all the couples present. The energetic juniors left a mark for the coming dance sponsors to shoot at. On April 9 and 10, the class of '45 staged a theatrical production entitled New Fires. Directed by Nlr. Craig, the thespians went over the top in the field of entertainment. The departing seniors have no fear that their shoes will be eapably filled next year. Mr. Herman and Miss Conner were class sponsors. Edwin Resler, jack Baldinger, jean Stewart, and Bill Gruver were the elected officers. The year I9-I-I looms into the spotlight as the graduating class of that year shines forth. Sophomores are not permitted by school authori- ties to sponsor events to make a profit, therefore they confine their social activities to those with- in their class. Hay-rides seemed to be the most popular form of entertainment. Everyone who has ever been on a hay-ride will readily second the statement. Early in the winter, the boys and girls dug out their battered straw hats, blue jeans, and checkered dresses to ride high atop a hay wagon. The wind blew cold in their faces and the hay was scratchy, but nevertheless the merry laughter of Xvest View's Sophomores could be heard as they winged their way through hill and dale. .Miss Laing and NIL Reed in their roles as class sponsors kept the class rolling merrily along and have high hopes for the future development of the Class of '-I-1. As can be seen by their thoroughness and planning, this group of students is one that will carry on in the best Wvest View tradition. The activities of the up and coming fresh- men class have been limited to the rugged out- door type of amusement. This vigorous, ener- getic group of industrious students prefer Robin Hood's Barn to the closed walls of a high school gymnasium. On Nlarch 20, the Fi-eshies spent an enjoyable evening out under the stars, not viewing the Aurora Borealis but settled comfortably in the depths of a heaped up haywagon. After their journey through the night, the Hemlocks in North Park loomed in sight, and the haywagons were freed of their gay boys and girls as the rafters of the lodge sung with the voices of the 'teensters. Sashay to your pardner and promenade the hall became the cry as an old-fashioned barn dance made the floor boards groan. The Freshies clapped hands and danced until quite worn-out with the even- ing's merrimentg they left the Hemlocks to return home and to dream of all the thrills they had that night. All that remains now are the seventh and eighth grades students. These newcomers to our halls as yet are not active in school affairs, but their time is coming. The rest of the school can only hope to be a fine example for their activity development. Thus was spent this year by the classes of Vllest View High School. A year filled with worthwhile activities. At this time in 1945 all the classes will have moved up one rung on the ladder of education. The seniors of 1942 wish them the best of luclcl L '... 7x - nl tx 'KX ' s n 'I'hinkingf XV- Know It!

DUFFY SPORT DEAR MOM, Qnce again your little boy is writing to you from Vvest View. You know by now that I'm going to be terribly sorry when I have to leave here. Yvithin these last few months I have been reminded so much of my boyhood life. Remember how much I liked football and baseball? Gee, mom, l enjoyed watching all their football games on a swell new athletic field. lt's way down in a valley, and the hillsides around it make a natural stadium. ltls topsl They didn't have such good scores, but it didn't stop their spirit. Their peppy cheerleaders saw to that. They ran up and down the field and jumped into the air to keep the crowds cheering. The team has to put up with the same situation in basketball, too. However, wrestling was a different story. They fought hard and won. Une fellow even won the state champion- ship. Well, Mom, l have to hurry oft to a golf tournament so l'll close once again.

FOOTBALL Along with the crisp winds of fall came the season of Hdownsf' goals, and 'fpigskinsf' when football with its participants became the chief topic of conversation throughout the halls. The hoys returned from camp eager to don shoulder pads, helmets and the necessary ac- coutrements for actual comhat on the hattlefield, hut this year the grid warriors met with a series of unfortunate mishaps on the gridiron. Their season was lirightened by a single triumph. This win was charted against Baldwin Township. The boys at the time of the victory had lost five games, all closely contested hattles that spoke proudly for our hoys' efforts. On the afternoon that Baldwin Township fell in defeat, the boys ol the Rose and Gold emerged victorious to the tune of 15 to 0. The victory holstered the spirit of the enlisted hoys as well as the home guards, and the morale of the school was raised one hundred per cent. During the year there seemed to he one factor that continually cropped up in all the games played. That was the factor of misfortune. Every- time the boys stepped on the field they seemed to he playing against a tremendous jinx. A jinx that r were about to cross the last yard or just as an Hendi' had slipped out liehind the last remaining defender ' and his fingers clutched at the sail- va Let's take an inside look at the schedule. The initial tilt was played on Friday night, Sept- emher 5, at the Millvale High School field. On that night the Indians went into hattle with all the fervor and suspense that attend an opening contest, hut when the final whistle was hlown, the defenders of Nlillvale came through with a victory of 19 to 0. Two more games played on successive Saturdays resulted in defeat. Those games were played against Crafton and Oak- mont. But the spirit of the Uhravesu was not undaunted, as they dug deeper into the earth, hrought out all reserve man power and con- tinued the struggle. The rest of the games found the team round- ing into shape and improving with every contest. Against Sewiclcley and Etna, hard fought battles were played and the margin of defeat was very slim. The improvement made hy the hoys in those last two contests was plainly evident and we students knew that the hard luck couldn't continue much longer without cracking into the win column. Then against Baldwin Township on October 10, a high spot was achieved when the lndians plunged to a 13 to 0 victory. The remain- der of the season found us slump- ing again and the three games played against Scott Township, Shaler and Oliver were lost. How- ever, we had seen what the boys - could do, and we cherished that , A Y met them face-to-face just as they Him- I N. i , l ing pigslcin. 'I memory. ....,. A .,,7,.,. A, ............T.1.. Y 1 f IV QV Football season passed: the m Ji? wt BASKETBALL C' 'T the student lmody came out with Hpigskinf' yard markers, and the - ' ' full force to cheer the local boys on. first aid kit were stored to await 'iw - ll! The colors, Rose and Gold flashed another gridiron season, when ' ' on the liasketlmall court, as the In- basketball beckoned to Wlest View dian netters held their own. Five High athletes. Nightly the gym- lettermen returned from last year's nasium became the lmattle ground , squad to bolster the power of the as in mock battle the Hhoopstersn team. They were: Ed iN'lcAllonis, practiced to await the time of action with neighboring troops. Various methods of attack were consideredg then the hest working combination was chosen to lead the Indians into battle. But here at VVest View, in athletics, there seems to he a strange parallel, a parallel that has shown itself to he true since our career as a high school began. That is, just as the footlmall team goesfso goes the hasketlmall team. Although not always correct to the exact per- centage, in approximate figures this parallel is a true one. This year the grid heroesy' came through with one victoryg this year the Hhoop- stersu won one contest. But nevertheless, the spirit of fighting was carried through to the end. Any evening a contest was held in the 'tgymf' Chuck Turner, Joe Skledar, Larry Alorehouse, and Bolm Freyermuth. Around these tive the team was centered. Others proved their ability and carried the hall for VV. V. H. S. Among those were: Bill Cully, Earl Hamburg, and Larry Kelly. VVe saw that just as in football, the hoop- stersn got hot as they came down the stretch. A Considerable improvement in form and floor technique was noticed as the Hcagersn played their second-half season. Showing up, even in the final clash, was the game competitive spirit and inherent sense of fair play that always distinguish a YVest View team. As long as that spirit and cleanness is there, all a rooter can do is support the team and stick around until the time when the breaks start coming the other way. .f.,,,f s s ' ' t U..

Since the history of our school began, we have never had an athletic team that could claim to be outstanding. The most successful team that we can boast of has been the wrestling team. Their three year record has been the best of all ath- letic teams at Yvest View. The coach of this enterprising group is Nlr. Reed, who is recognized as being one of the finest wrestling coaches in Pennsylvania. This year with the sport attract- ing more prospects than ever, and having letter- men from former teams to work with, Air. Reed's boys had a splendid opportunity to better their former marks. Against neighboring opponents the Indians had practically an airtight recordg it was when they ventured too far from their own hunting grounds that they met defeat. NVQ can best judge the effort of our matmen by look- ing at the record they compiled. The opener was at Carnegie, where on Ianuary 8, clad in their brilliantly hued new war togs they scalped their opponents, 29 to 18. Still on the Hwarpathu the Indians found their next victory . at Fox Chapel when they tangled with Shady Side and won, 21 to 16. Luckily, this record was continued and two more wins were recorded. These came against Ambridge and Alillvale. In the first home match of the twenty-seven to eight. By picking up this win the Viewers kept up their winning ways. A match that boded ill for the hustling Indians was with Greensburg. Entering for the first time against Class AA competition, they found it a little too tough, and as a result they were beaten, 51 to 16. Following this match came the second contest with Canonsburg. For your information, Canonsburg has the reputa- tion in scholastic wrestling that Notre Dame has in collegiate football. This year the Can- onsburg jinx held hrmly and two losses were suffered at their hands. It has now become the ambition of all succeeding West View wrestling teams to beat Canonsburg. By defeating Dlillvale in the season's finale, the team managed to turn in the creditable season's record of six wins and four losses. An interesting sidelight that can be told about one of the wrestlers concerns Iohnny Vtleixel, newly crowned State Champion in the 105 pound class. Iohnny went all the way to the semi-finals before being elimi- nated last year. This year though, it was a happier story, Iohnny threw everbody in sight and walked off with the Championship. Coach Reed is proud to have coached a champion and we're just as proud to have johnny for a season Dormont High was thrown, A classmate.

The boys dusted off their clubs and removed the winter's catch of debris which had settled in their golf bags. Once again it was the season of sand traps, bunkers and water holes. The boys conditioned their shoulders for the task of mounting a slight weight of 50 pounds. Everything was set for the tee-off. The little round object was teed, left its resting place, flew high in the sky and dropped. The boys strained their eyes for a glimpse of its landing place. Vilas it on the fairway or in a sand trap? Golf is quite a sport as we amateurs know. The golf team is considered one of the school's finer teams for skill and accuracy. The art of striking a little spherical object with either a club boys went the rounds and defeated Avonworth, a feat for which the Hprost' deserve a Hhandn from the gallery. The team was coached for the fourth season by Nlr. Tiffany. The one newcomer to the team was Joe Vtleiss, who demonstrated such promising form that he became the No. 1 man. Kenneth Carlson gained the No. 2 positiong Tom Buehner, No. 5g Phil Breen, No. 45 and No. 5, Nevin Rinaman and Ed Schmidt. The team was hard hit this season. Don Thumel, the No. 1 player last year, surrendered his position in favor of a defense job.

CHEERLEADERS w Ylafsvr XUE-lei'-li aw xvafizasgr var grew West View 'lihat's Iudy and DutifyU cheering for West View High, but they're not cheering alone for in addition to the many other spectators, there are seven cheerleaders, four girls and three boys, who are in command of the cheering forces. As they go through their many maneuvers, 'tludyu remarks how nice the seven look in their white uniforms, but Duffy is more interested in the head cheerleader, Peggy lNlcDermott, who is a regular veteran in the troop. Uludyn and HDuf:fy have cheered them- selves hoarse many times because the seven Vllestvians, who are instructed by Niiss Aiken, are in there fightingffall, spring, summer, and winter. At our football game, the spirit that is aroused by the songs that are sung and the cheers that are screamed, urge the boys in Rose and Gold on to victory. Occasionally though, when the end of the game rolls around and the score isn't in our favor, there still remains that un- defeated spirit among the Vllest View spectators. Q' Later on in the winter of the basketball games, and whether they are played on the home floor or away, our loyal cheerleaders are all there help- ing the boys on to victory. Occasionally, when there are wrestling matches at school several of the girls or fellows are on hand to give encouragement to the boys on the mats. Finally spring rolls around and at this time of year it's baseball, and again the cheerleaders are on the job. Lois Resler keeps up a steady pace until her face turns red. Herman Ulrich uses cheering for voice practice. The black tresses of Lois Grove contrasting with the white of her uniform make quite a scene on the field. Chuck Wild amuses many, both on the field and off, with his consistent pranks. Peg NlcDermott received previous training in dancing which helped. Johnny Xveixel makes use of his wrestling train- ing in his jumping, twisting, and twirling. One of the newcomers is ixlargie Craig. Only a ninth grader, she showed that she had pep. Wle are sure that long after Indy and Duffy leave Wl. V. H. S. they will remember the seven boys and girls who have clone such our sports events the year 'round. P ld., a wonderful jobvcheering at all AQ 1 - X i U 'XVrong One! 'Blaekoutln SPORTS REVIEW A sport's year is always one of rushing from football to basketball, to golf, wrestling, track, baseball and so on. It all begins with a blitz- kriegn when the mighty eleven go away for that week of conditioning and sore muscles. With the steady count of their general they exercise until, by the end of the week, they return to literally limp along the streets of Wlest View awaiting their first battle. That first big day when the bright Rose and Gold marched down the field was September 5 at Millvale. Unfortunately, however, this game only opened a year of retreat. Our huskies didn't have enough of what it took to carry that pointed ball over the end. Another set-back took the shape of a few broken and cracked bones. In the game with Crafton, Ed Murdoch, hard hitting end, trotted off the field with a broken arm. This started the ball rolling and lVlike Usborne fell next in line with a cracked collar bone which kept him on the bench for the rest of the season. Carl Zilian didn't stay in much longer when he, too, was benched because of a separated shoulder. With a single win, an exciting season ended for another year only to start a parallel session of basketball. The fellows went into each game full of pep and spirit, but each one proved too tough. Near the end ofthe season the faculty got the urge to play, so the Varsity took them on with an overwhelming victory??? Soon some recruits were seen with white patches of bandage on their faces, necks, and ears which reminded us that wrestling was beginning. Every night after school the wres- tlers squirmed and twisted out of all sorts of positions so that they might defeat their on- coming opponents. Hlohnnyu VVeixel out- maneuvered every other fellow at his weight in Pennsylvania, and he went over the top be- coming the State Champion. Next in line is Herb Wright, up and Coming sophomore who has two years to get to the top. Surely each year adds new successes to their record even though the last of the original team graduates this year. With the gold team's past record as a chal- lenge, the club swingers open with a tough schedule which will most certainly prove vic- torious. ln wins or losses the cheerleaders in their white and bright red uniforms kept the spirit and pep on the move. Nvith twists, spins, and twirls they made a contrasting formation on the sidelines. With such enthusiasm and spirit surely Yvest View will Charge Hard in base- ball. 'llold Tight!

Ijll have to move fast if l want to look in on each for I hear that this is one of the most active schools in the district. There is a special little room in this huilding they call the Social Studies Lihraryn, and one can find a chess game or two in progress every night after school is dismissed. It seems that Chess really captured the hearts of many of the intellectuals this past year. Vve heard from several sources that this school is noted for its work in Forensics, so you can he sure that I won't miss a chance to visit the music and speech departments. Gee, Mom, this must really he a grand placeg there are clubs and activi- ties that would interest most everyone.

Foster NI Henna For the first time in this year l9-12, the little man of America, Dir. Average American has realized the full significance of the word Nde- mocracyf' Iust as in their nation, the students of W. V. H. S. have also this year seen what democracy or government by the people, does, can, and will mean to them. To our two mas- cots, Duffy and Judy, has also come this new realization of how our government works. For they have been a part ofa real government. This year at West View a new system was in- augurated. From the mind of a brilliant under- classman, YVm. Perlik, Class of '-XS, came an idea for a practical student government. This idea was taken up by our Council Sponsors, Messrs. Herman and Metz, and developed. Carefully planned and thoroughly worked out, the plan was ready for a trial when the students returned from their summer vacations. They were to be governed by a legislative body, a president and vice-president plus a cabinet of four. To put their government into action they first had to elect the people to fill the offices. Before an eager public, twenty-four contestants made campaign speeches. One week later after hearing and seeing a political campaign that assumed borough-wide proportions, the students made their choices. To fill the post of Commander-in-Chief, Harry Olson was chosen. His assistant was lwajor Bobby Horsch, who had direct charge over the Iunior High forces. To control the all-important office of secretary of activities, Daring Dave Yundtn was chosen. To occupy the rank of Army Intelligence Chief, the votes favored Marian Purse, pretty, soft-spoken senior whom they felt sure would publicize Yvest View to the full extent of her abilities. To keep the hallowed halls of the Alma Mater clear from degradations of any kind, quick-witted, fast talking Ken Smithman, talented senior was elected. To handle the important task of Public Safety, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Esing was singled out. This cabinet plus the council, composed of one representative from each home room, made up the VVest View High Student Associa- tion, a truly practical student government which proved to be a definite success in its first year, 1942. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Once again the intellectuals of Yvest View High march ahead in the National Honor Society. The half-way mark of the year was drawing near and we seniors were instilled with a feeling of anxiety and suspense as we awaited the outcome of the faculty vote for the chosen few for the National Honor Society. Finally, the long awaited day arrived when Mr. Paynter arose in assembly and announced the results. Those who were deserving and fortunate enough to have their name on the list, left assembly that morning feeling as if they had just passed a milestone in their life, for it is an honor for a high school senior to be elected a member of this organization. The National Honor Society sets up stand- ards from which a student is judged for eligi- bility. These are scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Are you in the upper fifth of your class? Has VVest View High become a better place for your being here? Do you possess sufficient initiative to lead and be a guide for others? Are you friendly, courteous, and an all-around person? These are the questions that had to be answered when considering each student for membership. When one passed this exam he was classed in 1-A and ready to take an active part in the work of the N. H. S. Those deserving seniors who made the grade are pictured below, plus Iack Pohl and Virginia Safarik, who were not present when the picture was taken. On March 19, a banquet was given by Miss McGinnis, to induct the new recruits. This dinner marked a memorable day for the West View Chapter of the National Honor Society. It was there that the alumni members were called back to help organize a working chapter. With the assistance of the alumni and the co- operation of the seniors, the National Honor Society is bound to become an active organiza- tion as well as honorary. VVe graduating mem- bers will long remember and cherish the seal of the National Honor Society. ' l Lijl lo Right-Firvl Rmr: E. Canning, E. Brown, F. Gcipcl, J. Donaldson, M. VVhiting, Y.

This was the aim of the hall squad this year -fa smile and a strong will. There were many problems con- fronting them this year. From the student body and the faculty came the cries: Do some- thing about the auditorium stairsln, YVhat about the downstairs locker room'? , Clear the congestion on the stairsnl These were but a few ofthe tasks that lay ahead of the patrol. All of these were met by the boys, and our traffic system became a model for many of our cities. Now on our stairs there isn't the crush- ing of limbs, and gone are congested doors at lunch time. Our squad and their accomplish- ments are something they and we should be proud to exhibit. The hall patrol this year had as its faculty sponsor, hir. Puchta, who handled the reins quite well. As the year moved on, he was called to the armed forces of our country by the govern- ment to do his share in our defense. He is now a Second Lieutenant in the Army. Into this vacant spot stepped Dlr. Ionakin, who has done the job quite capably. Something new was added to the business of running the halls this year. Under our new form of student government a Secretary ot Traffic was elected by the students. The first Secretary of our school was Yvilliam Esing. His job was to be supervisor of the entire squad. He was to confer with the faculty advisor and try to figure out the multitude of problems that were facing the hall patrol. He was required to give a report to the student body at the end of the first semester of the things that were accomplished by the hall squad during that time. This he didf-Aquite well. He brought oue the fact that there had been certain peoplt removed from the patrol because they were not diligent enough in their work. By these re- movals the hall patrol was slowly made up of the best boys and the poorer ones removed. Besides their regular work during the school hours the squad rendered many other services to the school. They acted as guides at Speech Tournaments that were held at Yvest View. During the chorus festival they were helpful in many ways. Running errands as guides, driving visitors to their homes were all done by the boys. There are no red lights, or police whistles, but trattic in Xvest View High School moves without them. LIBRARY CLUB This is occasionally called the bookworm club, but Hludyu doesn't think thirty efficient industrious girls can be classed definitely as bookworms. She should know since she is a member. Stamping, mending, placing books, finding cards, and keeping the library in order is part of this endless work. Hludyu doesnlt mind thisg in fact she thinks it's fun, as do the others. To make up for the work there are gay meetings twice a month. .Nlany happy hours are spent at these meetings with refreshments after the business hour. The librarians, lVliss Laing and llliss Delp, keep the club active and interesting. The girls helped .Miss Laing and Bliss Delp to trim the huge Christmas tree which the club donated to the library. Vtle are sure the students ap- preciated this treat that lent the library such a seasonal atmosphere. Vvhile working at the desk, the girls share interesting experiences. People dashing about madly for the hall pass, seventh graders with their bright sayings, and the seniors sleeping at the tables. Never a dull moment. Nol Never. But with so much confusion the girls often make mistakes, so they figured out a merit system, whereby a girl gets a demerit or black line beside her name for every mistake. Like- wise she gets a star for extra work. Iudy did rather wellgten merits, two demerits. The de- merits were for her conversation with friends at the desk Cfriends being a couple of senior wolvesb. This is not allowed. But everything considered, the merit system has been a great success. They are trying harder than ever to improve the desk routine. So when you have time, come to a meeting some Tuesday, and listen to the problems and solutions of the Library Club. Perhaps you will appreciate these hard-working girls more, and who knows? Nlaybe you can help. At any rate you're always welcome. If I to Righl-First Row: li. BlCCl2lllSl21llIl. X. Nlcllonalcl, J. C'oni'1ul. Y. Str:-iner, I.. Bailey, J. Seidenstricker, M. Spoelir, IC.

Duffy and Indy feel that it's their duty to the United States to learn all they can about both our allies and our enemies. So every other Tuesday night Duffy made Room 101 his Hgeneral headquarters. Miss Vance was com- pany commander. At this time a very interest- ing hour was spent listening to discussions on some foreign country, situation, religion, or experience. Those countries represented and discussed were!-Palestine, Yugoslavia, Switzer- land, Germany, India, Lithuania, China, Ireland, Great Britain, and Czechoslovakia. lN'T0StI of the speakers were natives of the respective countries discussed. Many brought particularly interesting exhibits with them. After the meetings, a discussion and question period was held at which time all problems were cleared up. Miss Vance foresaw the need of learning more about geography, history, and Culture of foreign countries and as a result formed this educational club. It is indeed appropriate in view of the present world situation. A new light was thrown upon the llloham- medan religion when it was discussed. Now Duffy, realizes that Mohammedans worship the same God that we do. One of the most interesting talks was Bicycling Through Eu- rope during which an American told of his experiences while touring The Old Nvorldu on a two-Wheeler. Few of us knew how much the Iewish race had contributed to the American VVay of Life until the topic was discussed. High lighting the successful season was a Guest Night in lway at which all the speakers through- out the year met and a summary of the year's activities was made. A social period at which refreshments were served also followed. Duffy and Hludyu couldn't decide which speaker they liked the best, so they just decided that they learned a lot they had never known before. Some of the more active members of the club had a group discussion after school in which they discussed school morale and the way in which the International Club could Hhelpf' Roll was called at every meeting and those members absenting themselves three times in a row were dismissed. Another person was always waiting to step in and keep the membership even. Nlembership of the club was limited to fifty, but parents, teachers, and outsiders were invited to attend meetings. The capable officers of the International Club were: President, Bill Perlikg Vice-President, Bertha Mueller, Secretary, Miri- am Spoehrg and Treasurer, Harold Iohnson. WEST WIND If Duffy wants to know what all the excite- ment's about, or who the new teacher is , or who's that new steady couple, he dives for the latest issue of our school paper, fittingly called the VVest VVind. Sure enough, the answer to his question is found in one of the many interest- ing features of the paper. Edited by Ed Schmidt and censored by Miss Redenbaugh, the Wlest NVind is the Official News Agency of YVest View High School. Its former sponsor, Air. Zerke, is now a pal of Duffy in the United States Armed Forces. Each make-up day for the paper found room 208 in quite a turmoil: people frantically count- ing type, last minute rushes to fill up the empty spaces, and the problem of who's going to take the material to the printers. At the end of such a day, the staff members wearily made their way home, thankful that the paper Uhad gone to bed for another two weeks. The source of news for the younger set is the West Zephyr, which occupies the last page with interesting items from the Iunior High School. Editor David Archer says that the training being received by these young reporters will prove invaluable later when working on the West Wlind staff or writing themes. This year the staff carried through with last year's system of having an editor of each page, this person being responsible for its completion. The heads of the pages were Chuck Wlild, page one, Dick Spatz, page two, and Carl Zilian, page three. Headquarters distributed the paper every other Thursday during home-room to S. A. A. holders and all those with an extra dime. Wye all liked the special features, but it is rumored that a majority of the intellectuals immediately turned to the personal information column, ln the Breeze. I eft to R1glzl-.S1llmg: C. Zillan, D.

NVest View stepped right ahead of production in the field of speech this year. There was created an interest in this activity which our school never before had seen. Formerly, Debating constituted the principal branch of speech work that was actively participated in by the students, but this year there was developed some talent in almost every phase of speech. It was not only the' students themselves who had the speaking bug, but the Parents' Speech As- sociation became more active than ever. Once a month a meeting of parents was held, at which time recent student efforts in this work were discussed, and a program presented by the high school members The social studies library, during the first period in the morning, became the studio of the speech enthusiasts, as they studied, worked and practiced their particular interest. A special credit class was then conducted by Mr. Metz for those sufficiently interested and talented. Nvest View High School is a member of the National Forensic League. This is a national organization to which five hundred schools have the privilege of belonging. Vllest View received its charter in 195-1. There are three main branches included in the N. F. L.-debate, interpretatives peech, and student congress. In- cluded in interpretative speech are humorous reading, dramatic declamation, original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, poetry reading, and oratorical declamation. This year the organiza- tion came through with victories in three of these fields. Taking first place in the Allegheny County contests were Bill Perlik, extemporan- eous speaking, lim Gammon, oratorical decla- mation, and Kathleen Lutz, Shakespearean reading. The varsity debate team proved victorious in the majority ol' its encounters. Dick Spatz, Edwin Resler, Bill Perlik, and lack .lloran carried the flag of VVest View into battle for the debaters. NVest View sent two senators and five representatives to Student Congress at Cali- fornia State Teachers College where lack Nloran and Edwin Resler were elected minority leaders of the Houses ot' Representatives. lack Nloran was also our representative at the National Student Congress. llVlI'. lwxllgllillll, who is the district chairman of the N. F. L., proved to be a valuable asset to the club this year, as was illiss illarkle, who directed the speech club play 'AThe First Dress Suit. The speech organization is on the move. Vllatch for the victory flag to be waving next fl' ff vear. . . . - CHORUS This year, as in previous years, the proud wearers of the maroon and white took the posi- tion ol' Hdefensiveu and marched ahead to a decisive victory. The entire year for the chori- sters is one of hard work and long practices. However, through all this work, every member will declare that he has received enough enjoy- ment out of it to last a lifetime. Those in the choral organizations were in them because they wanted to be, and they truly delighted in work- ing for the best. This year the seventh and eighth graders were combined in a choral group which really will someday carry the tttlagsu of the present day chorus because of their early training. ln ninth grade enough were interested in music that they organized their own group. just walk into lunior Assembly some day and you'll see what sort of results they are producing. As for the Senior Chorus, a bomb hits this year, the last of the original chorus leave their Alma Nlater to enter into the large business world. Every year it is said that the next year's chorus will be Hpunku because they're losing so many seniors. However, VVe Did it Before and VVe Can Do lt Again. On the exciting day of lllarch 20, the vocal department umaneuvered to Clairton for the big day of battle. They came back with flying colors, carrying the winning banners for everything they entered. Vllhen you saw a beaming face, you knew it was one of the harmony champions. Boys', Girls', and Alixed Choruses plus the Girls' Trio and fllixed Octet all rode over the top.

Truly the modern during the day, when students are taken out of design makes the big difference. Commander- in-Chief Tole admits that it took a lot of practice and hard work, but results proved that it was not futile. Perhaps you did not know it, but the band is kept in order by sergeants, lieutenants, cap- tains, managers, and librarians, each of whom has their separate important duties. Yes, there's even such a thing as court-martial. Those ten pairs of shiny white boots that kept in unison marching before the band be- longed to the newly-organized twirlers and Swiss- tlag twirlers. Their added color brighten the panorama that one saw when the band marched on parade. class at various intervals for a practice in which they hope to perfect themselves. In these classes, the younger students are trained to fill the vacancies left by graduating seniors. Another addition to the band this year was the entrance of various instrumental groups and soloists into the district N. F. L. contests at Plum Township. There was a clarinet solo, saxophone solo, piano solo, string trio, saxo- phone sextet, and drum solo. A tri-band concert and the spring music festival highlighted the band's season. Several members were also sent to the South-Western District Band at Latrobe and All-State band at Millvale. ORCHESTRA The sweet strains of music heard issuing from the auditorium during every assembly emanated from our orchestra. Each assembly we were favored with a different selection from among the light classical composers. Mr. Tole, our concert-master, brought Toscanini right into our midst, and we thank himg for never has VVest View become so music conscious as it has this past year. Each Tuesday and Friday the members of this musical group gathered their instruments together, compared sharps and flats and settled down for a session of honest music-making. The future shows promises of a bigger and better orchestra since there are many young musicians coming in from the grade schools and seventh and eighth grade, who are learning to play the instrument of their choice. Any stu- dent interested in instrumental music is given the chance. iWr. Tele has an available supply of school-owned instruments for those who do not wish to buy them or cannot afford to. Four violin players from our group attended the South-Vvestern District Qrchestra at Bald- win Township on February 5, 6, and 7. This is made up of several students from high schools all over Vtlestern Pennsylvania. From this district group Vtlest View was fortunate enough to have one member go to All-State Urchestra. Several group ensembles and soloists were entered in the district contests. Mr. Tole's fine group of musicians were al- ways prepared to brighten any class function with their music, and at such a time we could be sure that their music would be very enter- taining and worthwhile. Ttys hard work to play in an orchestra, but all comments heard from the army of stu- dents were favorable. Orchids to the Or- trill? TX. x i K. - Q ff! lo Right flfirxl Rme: J. Cully, ll, King, B.

Girls and boys together swing batons under the able leadership of Mr. Tole, our teacher of instru- mental music. These boys and girls have instituted a colorful new section in the band this year. Four years ago there were only two drum majorettes in our school. But times have changed, today we have a special club to train students for this purpose. Each student of VVest View High School is proud of the accuracy and beauty of this group as they march across the football field. Included in the skill of twirling is the fasci- nating art of Swiss flag twii-ling. It may look simple, but it is really quite complicated. Anyone interested may join the club. Al- though not all may become drum majorettes or majors, rhythm and gracefulness are a result of this practice. One fortunate member was chosen by Air. Tole to enter the National Forensic League contest in twirling. Captain Tole admitted that he had a hard time choosing, as they are all very good. The sponsors are those people who are led by the drum maj- orettes. There are many junior high school students, now in training, who make it evident that in future years we will have a worthy group of sponsors. CAMERA CLUB Clickl Clickl Those '1nad men are here again. You will find them everywhere taking shots ot' our faculty and getting our students in the queerest poses. These hoys have real talent. Ask them to let you see some ot' their photosg you will he quite surprised at their ability. Landscapes, portraits, still lille, action shots, people at their weak moments the records of the lens have them all. Their favorite models are our teachers. The cameras click in the rooms, in the halls, in the auditorium and most any place where you find action. Photography is an art that many people enjoy. ixlore now then ever the armed forces need photographers tor taking pictures of enemy ground. Through this clulm we are helping some hoys to he well trained tor Uncle Sam. There is more than snapping a shutter to photography. There is the lighting, using the right camera, the correct film, developing and a host of other aspects to this highly interesting work. The average person does no more than take pictures, hut in the cluh the ho-ys learn all the technicali- ties of the art. The sponsors of this club are ixlr. Kruse and Fir. Schmidt. The central headquarters for the group is Room 2115 the working room is in YVest View High and wherever these boys can get a shot. You will Hnd them at most anytime print- ing, developing and enlarging in our east wing. There was a cluh last year and many fine pictures came out of it.

Those fifty boys who roamed our halls with bright yellow sweaters and Wh V.', so con- spicuously displayed on their chests were the members ofthe Varsity Club. A fellow in school really had to prove his athletic ability before he could be advanced to a position in this note- worthy organization. Boys who excelled on the gridiron, basketball court, golf course, wrestling mat and baseball diamond all had their chance to become members of the Varsity Club. The club's annual varsity show was dispensed with this year in the interest of national defense, and in its place the husky heroes concentrated their efforts on a bake sale and sports night. Something new certainly was added the day the social science library was taken over by the Hlettermenu who proudly displayed their wares and induced the passers-by to purchase a few cookies between classes. VVC all had our share of sweet things that day and the janitors were kept busy sweeping up the crumbs. A blackout basketball game headlined the sports night. It proved to be a stirring conflict, played in total darkness, between the learned members of the faculty and the varsity basketball team. The varsity came through and defeated the faculty ln lliarch we were surprised to see our halls brightened with the gleaming colors of the club's new jackets. The boys presented them- selves for our approval one day in their jackets of brightest red and gold. They proved to be the pride and joy of their owners and were worn to the most opportune occasions. The club's official business was presided over by lWr. Hart- man and Nlr. Vtlrenshall who were assisted in their tasks by the officers, lack Romito, presi- dentg Ioe Skledar, vice presidentg Larry iwore- house, secretary-treasurer. The honorary spon- sors are Nlr. L. C. Aworehouse and lwr. Harold Slack. ln the early fall we all had partners and ioined the fun at North Park Lodge, where the Varsity Club sponsored an evening of dancing and fun. The boys were proud of their successful evening and added another score to their tri- umphs. Hats otif to the boys of the rose and goldll -g l.i+-4....m..m-.4 CHESS CLUB This year in Wlesj View High School among the new clubs inaugurated, we have the Chess Club. Perhaps you have seen the members playing and have wondered why they were in such deep thought. But you must understand that every move must be planned with the precision of a military expert. Let me try to enlighten you a little on this exciting game or battle of wits. In chess there are seven distinct men, ranging from the lowly pawn to the high and mighty queen. The pawn may move only straight ahead, while your castle may move any number of spaces, but only at right angles. Next come the bishops, which may move any number of spaces on the diagonals. The knight comes next and then you have the queen, which is the most powerful of all. She has the privilege of moving up, down, or dia- gonally. Last is the king. When you have out- maneuvered your opponent and have captured his king, the warn is over. Keeping the name of the chess men in mind, the club has chosen to call its officers accord- ingly: the president of the club is known as the kingg the vice-president, queeng the secretary is the bishopg the treasurer is a knight, and the remaining members are pawns. You may know little or nothing about the game, but if you are a student of West View you are certain to hear about the activities of this club. The members have competed in numerous tournaments with other schools. Uur club has proved itself to be precise and skillful in playing. VVhen school reopens in the fall, chess would be an interesting activity to enter. There are only a few members this year, and we hope with the increasing age of this club, its enroll- ment will also increase. The boys are going along in grand style and we wish them every success in winning their matches. v l L fl to Right-Sitting: D. Jeffrey, J. Meister, J. Parry, N. LaSlavic, D. Duncan, K. Smith, M.

This noise echoes over the school when the stage crew is con- structing or tearing down the scenery for a play or some such affair. Night after night they work, and sometimes Dufif'y's mother thinks he is never coming home. Of course, Duffy is one of the crew, and he is ever-willing to lend a helping hand. These hoys not only serve the school faithfully, but help prepare for outside activities held here at the school. Even when there are no plays we hear constant hammering in the shop as they turn out a piece of work hy request. Iust to think of having to act out our plays without scenery would make the average Wlest View High school student shriek in horror. We Could not imagine such a drastic situation. But thanks to those of the stage crew tincluding DufTy D all of our plays have been a Hsucces- sion of successful successes. People will little note nor long remember what they said here but we will never forget the work they accomplished here. How could one forget the comic picture of Duffy ham- mering nails. tAnd I do mean fingernailsll Nor will we need he reminded how many times he surprised himself by kneeling on the hoard he was sawing in two, thus landing on the floor, face downward. lust how many times he has ruined a shirt or a pair of trousers by paint or tearing them on nails, we cannot say. But his mother is probably ready to suggest that our school start a stage crew fund to replace the beyond repair clothes. The lmoys who lmelong to this Always work and never pay, offer your services free, and go- home-to-a-cold-supper club are supervised hy Charles Cooper and his assistant James Gordon. Our many thanks to Duffy and the hoys for their splendid help and cooperation. This proves to us that Wlest View High School is made up of really fine people. RADIO CLUB Variometer, grid leak, agonic lines. VVhat's this? Some foreign languagel No, it's just the boys of the radio club discussing the parts ofa radio. This is a new club in Nvest View High, and one that is now more than ever very neces- sary. The Army and Navy are in dire need of capable radio operators for their signal corps. The training and practice these boys have received this year will be of high value if they ever get into the service. Besides the military viewpoint radio is still an open field for any interested boy. Throughout the year the boys have worked with radio code sending and receiving until they are all quite good at the art. They have also mastered the symbols of the parts of a radio and with that the scores of parts of the radio. Just look at the inside of your own radio and sec the mass of countless parts each which must be connected and placed correctly to insure clear reception. By this work the club members have prepared themselves for running their own radio service shop. The field of research is also wide open to aspiring men. The newly opened field of television offers a lifetime occupation to any with the interest and talent. The sponsor of this organization is hir. Ionakin who also runs the hall squad. The group has profited much hy the year's work and are hoping to carry on a club next year-a cluh to turn out men for the armed forces, industry, and private business. Z Righ!fSillirzg'fC'. Lawrence.

A FACULTY PLAY Left to Right: Mr, Metz, Miss Conner, Mr. Schmidt, Miss Dietrich, Mr, Craig, Miss Laing, Miss Delp, Miss Beardslee M ' M' B tt Mugnam, piss cnne . The night that George Washington Slept Here was the night of nights. He didn't really hang up his hat and spend the evening on the lounge in the teachers' room, but spiritually he was on our stage the nights of December 17 and 18. The occasion was the faculty presenta- tion of the Broadway hit, George Washington Slept Here. Coming Straight from the great white way of New York City to the stage of our high school, the fact that George Wash- ington slept in an aged house, resulted in two and a half hours of delightful humor and enter- tainment. Those long hours of labor put in by the faculty were in reality for the benefit of us students. The proceeds of the play swelled the assembly program fund to such an extent that many of this year's assemblies consisted of pro- fessional talent. We wonit forget that our faculty gave us those entertaining and educa- tional hours spent in the auditorium Mondays and Tuesdays. It was uite an occasion to see our learned q friends deviate from their accustomed roles as instructors and disciplinarians fthe results were very pleasingj. The antics of our own Nlr. Herman were a laughing matter as he romped and scampered about the stage clad in very becoming knickers. Miss Delp portrayed a very charming Annabelle, who really kept Wir. Metz on his guard. Mr. Craig presented himself for our approval attired in Hsleek tailored overalls and brightly polished high boots and a straw hat of the latest design. The first act curtain opened to reveal the remains of what was once a living room of a farm house. To Miss Delp's disgust, the dust had accumulated to a sizeable thickness, the stairs were minus a few boards, the ceiling was about to descend to lower regions and the window frames were hanging on precariously. But the second act presented an altogether different scene. The stage had been transformed into a comfortable, cheery room which displayed a feminine touch of arrangement. The skillful directing, the cast, make-up and stage setting all combined to make the faculty's second venture into the theatrical world a success. SENIOR CLASS PLAY Attentionl Roll Calll Yes, when the roll was taken the night of November 7, everyone who wanted an evening full of laughs, bought a little ticket that was the pass word in-to our auditorium. Printed on the little ticket were the words- The Senior Class presents 'Growing Pains', a Comedy of Adolescence. VVhat a night! Wle seniors will long remember the even- ing of our greatest success. Everyone in the cast, from stage hand to actor or actress, pos- sessed the tingling sensation that comes with an eight o'clock curtain rising. It was just a few minutes before that time and the cast was maneuvering about the stage in search of their properties, so that everything would go off as scheduled. Lights were checked, roller skates were clash-banging into place, and property girls were frantically searching for a lost set of jacks Everything was being put into readi- ness for the moment when Miss janet Dau- benspeck, the director would call, t'Curtain, Curtain! And so the curtain went up. The zero hour had come, but there was little fearl as the cast was well prepared to go over the top, for there had been many weeks of intensive training and drilling. -VVe seniors, who at last had passed that always in trouble stage, returned to our life of a few years past without a bit of difficulty. Once again the girls picked up their roller skates, the boys got out their baseball gloves and bats, and the problem of why can't I have a car? presented itself. All these things composed the story of Growing Pains. The cast went so far as to learn to speak a secret language to be used when speaking of strictly private matters. Every member of the play cast, whether on stage or not, deserves a few stripes on his sleeves, plus a medal of distinction for his excellent work. In Right: N.J.F9l1lDlll't,-l. Sklcclur, K. Lutz.

Cott Let's look in on this peace-loving little group, and see what they have scared up for us in the way of ammunition. The president, Betty Reilly, and advisor, Miss Kiedaisch, report that heaped-up baskets laden with food of all kinds were distributed to needy families throughout the community. This was a grand gesture on the part of the girls and one that deserves a round of applause and admiration. During the winter months the girls donned gym clothes and tennis shoes, and made their way to the gym floor where the basketballs were put into action. The echo of merry laughter could be heard through the halls of this learned institutionu on such a night. Initiation of new members, last fall, was done strictly in a military manner as the G.R.'s marched around the community. An initiation tea was held a few weeks before the Candlelight Service, at which prospective new members were entertained with group singing and refreshments. Then the memorable Candlelight Service was held, and as the girls each lighted their candle they became an official member of the Girl Reserves. It was in February that the f'G.R.'s presented an assembly program. It was a pan- tomime demonstrating the development of the Girl Reserves from Grandma's time until the present day. The girls clearly showed us the difference between the age of bustles and the actions of young old ladies as compared with the modern girl. Bright and early on the first day of May found the senior girls being served a delicious mouth-watering breakfast by the G.R's. This event has become a tradition and one that begins the run of social events for the seniors. The G.R's found it a lot of fun to play hostess to the senior girls even though they had to arise at 5:00 A.M. in order to have the first course ready by eight. The girls particularly remember the social meeting that had as its guest, a representative from a local beauty school. Correct use of make- up, hair-style, etcetera was demonstrated, and the members left school that evening feeling as if they had learned something new and were quite elated over the transformations that came about. It was a successful and profitable year for the Girl Reserves of West View, and here's hoping that next year will prove even better. WESTVIAN From the depths ol' the summer heat, through the crisp winds of fall, braving the winter's cold, and until the first robin of spring, the Wlestvian staff worked like troopers to create for you, HDuf'fyU and Hludyu, two little figures of great military value and purpose. The day of their birth proved to be one of victory for their creators, Don Thumel and Iack Pohl, who after hours of preliminary drawing and collaboration, emerged from their piles of inked paper, an- nouncing the arrival of Dul'ly and t'Iudy. And thus, the theme of this annual was born. It was but a short step to inform the future Fannie Hursts and Ernest Hemingways of the staff, what their task was. Kathleen Lutz, as chief collector of all adjectives, nouns, and adverbs, supervised and created in writing for you the adventures Hllutfyn and Hludyn had in our school. And so Duf'fy,' and Uludyn im- mediately became the key code words. Their range of knowledge broadened as they delved into each school activity to discover the Hwhys and whereforesf' The finance department, under business managers Ioe Holland and Dave Yundt, sought ways of conserving the essential dollar mark for the duration. When any member ofthe business staff ventured a normal conversation, it inevitably turned into a dollar and cents discussion. Innocent spectators at school affairs were constantly on their guard to ward off the candid camera fiends of the staff. Clvlany a person was caught in a precarious positionb. Oly hiae Wall, commander-in-chief of all the forces, held her stand until the last bit of precious copy or photography found its way into the pages of the book. Mr. Herman and hir. Thomas, in their capacity as official ad- visors, planned each move and thus this an- nual was completed. The entire staff' enjoyed working with Duffy and Iudy and hope you've found them a source of delight and entertainment. 0 Rig11lfS1'Iling: G. llziniihon, li. Mueller, Y. Bishop, A.
