Once again a new school year rolls around and along with new schedules, new textbooks and new teachers, comes the need for a new yearbook staff to compile the annual. A competent and eager group met in room 208 one Tues- day afternoon in September, and the l944 Westvian was born. A stop was brought, then and there, to the unorganized havoc which shook room 208 from stem to stern during that first meeting. Mr. Mugnani and Mr. l-lolmok, our spon- sors, took a firm hand, and then our work began. Stuart Savage CStu to youl took his place as Editor-in-Chief and began the long tedious job of bringing into reality the staf'f's dream of the best yearbook produced in West View. Robert Mertz was put in charge of all the nouns, verbs and adjectives, and he has proved to be one of the best Literary Editors any Westvian has ever had. Howard Canning took over the counting of the pennies, and his efficient job as Business Manager can't be overlooked. Class activities were assigned to janet Ealck, and she proved only too well that the life of an Activities Editor isn't the bed of roses it's made out to be. The camera fiends were under Herman Ulrich's jurisdiction, and many an unsuspecting teacher and student fell victim to that alert and ever-seeing Ulrich camera. lim Cummings was given full control of the paint and brushes. As Art Editor, we can't thank him enough for the many fine sketches our yearbook has to offer. He had a competent staff in Dolly MacDonald and Betty Pohrer. Their ef-forts speak for themselves. Lois Klingler was elected Secretary and kept notes on just what happened in and out of the meetings. The Westvian Staff put on numerous activities to promote their financial interests. The one that seemed to cause the most anxiety was the Sadie Haw- kin's Dance on October 29. West View girls were on the loose, and the boys literally took to the hills. lt was a huge success, though, and will go down in West View High School's social history. The crowning of the May Queen comes under the Westvian's supervision also. The whole staff went all out to make The Wostvian - 2
