S. West- vian weighs anchor and sets sail into the dawn. In the following pages of this book, the crew will depict life on this ship in the day just beginning-the day seeming long as we enter upon our voyage, but appear- ing later as a fleeting instant of pleasant memories. For many of us, this trip will be the last, this day the final in our journey to the distant goal. Ours is the first class to make the entire cruise of our six years in the new school. We, the crew, will attempt to portray the effect of our school environment upon our education and activities. And so, let us now recapture some of the thrills and heartaches that have marked this fateful year. Anchors aweigh! Franklin Blackstone Zin Memoriam Gimme harmed dameidmei qneaimlihm zllmhmm Aman.

This task is designated to the men on the Shipls Bridge. On the NVestvian. it is performed hy the memhers of Student Council. The 'iShip's Bridge is a council of officials which provide an opportunity for the passengers on the ship to participate in the governing of the S. YVestvian. The people of each room elect one petty officer each voyage to represent them in the government. Une of the successful enterprises taken on hy this hody was the sponsoring of the magazine campaign. Each petty ollicer took charge of the sales in his own home room. Petty Officer Boh Shaw was head of the junior Campaign and Petty Officer Ilarold Uhlenhnrg took charge of the Senior Campaign. The council of officials established an activ- ity point system hy which awards are to he given. in the Senior section. to the Senior having the highest numher of points for activities to which he helonged. and. in the -Innior section. to the passenger having the highest nlnnher of points for activities. The council also sponsored the lied Cross Blood Donor Drive. lfach passenger received hlood donor cards. and worked to get as many signed as possihle. Thus the S. YVestvian was well represented in the drive. The Council spon- sored a very successful hond rally in which all passengers participated. Many fine assemhly programs which had a great variety ot entertainment and educational purposes were presented. These were greatly enjoyed hy all who attended them. The council held a Christmas Banquet which proved to he very successful. The han- quet committee. under the capahle leadership of Roland Dollhopf. planned one of the most interesting programs of the shipis voyage. The cafeteria was dimly lighted by a large Christmas tree, and each tahle had a gay centerpiece. YVell- loved Christmas carols were sung hy the chorus. Devotions were led hy Mr. Paynter, and Kent Thorpe announced that the Christmas hanquet was to he made an annual affair. Other successful activities sponsored hy the Council were the Clean Up Campaigns. Locker Inspections, and the Traffic Regulation system. The Wiestvian has completed a very successful voyage, and the passengers of the oliieers on the Ships Bridge in all prohlems and activities. Audrey Schilpp Sth roxy: H. Horst, IT. Skledar, R, Bayer.

Zin Memoriam LUIS SCHILLINGER One of our fairest passengers who just last year preceded us to the great reward beyond the distant sunsetg we cherish fond memories of her time with us. She was dear to us as a comrade and majorette. Our deepest sympathy goes out to her family. ' In X .JANL L iii S K 1 v,3 ' Eff. . ATA Kp' XX S enlor Achvlhes As the S. S. Westvian set sail in September, we found many old and new passengers. About one hundred seventy-five of the passengers were on board for their sixth trip. This was our last voyage with the S. S. Westvian, therefore, we wanted to make it one packed with fun and frolic. The ship docked at Cimbel Brothers on the twentieth and twenty-first of September. While we were there, we first class passengers had our pictures taken for the ship's log. There was much moaning and groaning among the fem- inine passengers. It was a stormy night and for those of us who went above deck, the dampness wrought havoc with our curls. Less than two weeks later, we received a radiogram from Miss Norris, telling us that our proofs were ready. We docked once more at Gimbel's, picked up the proofs, and were on our way once more. For two or three days after this, all you could hear on every deck was, Let me see yoursvg Oh-h-h-hiv, Gee, yours are swellf, The excitement of pictures being over, we worked until our next shore leave. In October, we docked at North Park for our hayride. There were two wagons filled with hay, blankets, fel- lows, and girls. Mr. Renton, one of the officers in charge of first class passengers, was seated in the driver's seat of the lead wagon, while Miss Delp, the other officer in charge, and a few of the gang were at the Lodge preparing the re- freshments. Here a super time was had by all. the next few days on board were accompanied by aching muscles and stiff limbs, for one hun- dred fifty-four steps are a good many to climb just to go to the top of the water tower. There were, however, some who were ambitious enough to try it. For shipboard entertainment, on November tenth, an all-star cast of first class passengers presented the three act comedy Ianie . A hilar- ious evening on board was enjoyed by cast, crew, passengers, and guests due to the excellent per- formance of the cast. As an unadvertised added attraction, we had the personal appearance of Mickey Mouseis nautical aunt, who kept both the cast and the audience in an uproar for several minutes. A Christmas stopover was next on the ship's calendar. All passengers and crew disembarked for the holiday festivities at home. Several weeks after the Christmas holidays, the first class passengers were ordered on deck and told that the time had come when we would have to make our decision about name cards and annoncements. These were to be used in an- nouncing the end of the voyage for the Seniors. We were told we would be notified when we were to be measured for our caps and gowns. When that day came, we were called from our staterooms and told to report to the Vice Ad- miral's quarters. About the middle of May, the S. S. Westvian docked and we were guests of the second class passengers at the ship's annual prom. An orches- tra strictly in the groovei' was provided by the juniors. Many couples were seen on deck under the stars until it was almost time for first call for breakfast. Another event on the ship's calendar was the Dinner Dance, given for the first class passengers in honor of their having successfully completed their six year voyage. Church aboard ship, in the form of a Baccalaureate Service, was held the Sunday before graduation. It was the first appearance of the Class of ,45 in caps nad gowns. Many long and tiresome hours were spent in practice for Commencement. The big day finally arrived. The S. S. Westvian docked at Heinz Auditorium where families, relatives, and friends of the Seniors were gathered. They had come to witness the Commencement Exercises of the first class passengers who have come all the way from stowawavs to their present posi- tion in the new school building. This ended the voyage for the first class pas- sengers, and the S. S. Westvian was put in dry dock. All passengers and crew descended the gangplank for the last time.

Under the system in operation at West View, members of the faculty vote to this so- ciety a number of students equal to one-tenth of the Senior class. The qualifications. other than scholarship, are leadership, character, and service. Only Seniors ranking in the upper twenty percent of their class are eligible for membership. This is done, and wisely so, that students may have ample time to prove them- selves, or in isolated cases to disprove them- selves, worthy of distinction. For many stu- dents, both this year and in the past this recog- nition is all they receive for work and service to their school and classmates. Often the bene- factor is unaware of the deeds of these unselfish scholars. The activities of the society itself are nil, but this does not mean that membership is not cov- eted. It is more than the mere reading of fifteen or twenty names in Assembly. The small gold keys donated annually by Miss McGinnis prove Eolthe observer that the wearer is a leader in his e c . Thus the 1945 Westvian salutes the National Honor Society and its members, with the sug- gestion that it be made a powerful, active, and gphesive force in bettering coming years at West iew.

Class Acfivifies As we sail along on the journey of our school career, we are not only getting an educa- tion but the pleasant memories of our exciting class activities. These are brightest remem- brances of our high school career and we shall not forget them soon. The first event of the underclassmen was the successful hayride held by the junior class on November 17. They all journeyed out to Parkview in North Park to meet the Wagons and then after everyone boarded the Wagons, a ride around the lake was enjoyed. After the ride, refreshments and dancing were enjoyed at the Lodge. Everyone went home feeling tired but happy, and as though they had the best time of their lives. Finally after four long years of attending other classes' plays, the juniors produced one themselves. It was a success as usual, being under the direction of Miss Delp. The co-operation of the class with the direc- tions of the officers who were: Roland Dollhopf, Frank Skledar, Nancy Crozier, and Martha Schaffer, and sponsors, Miss Connor and Mr. Hein helped to make all the events of the year successful. Our journey into the junior activities now being over, we shall journey into the sophomore class activities. First of all, the sophomores organized for the first time this year and elected officers, who are: jack Fullerton, Bill Maloney, Mary jane Schmidt, and johnnie Meister. The sponsors are Miss Lang and Mr. Mugnani. The big event of the sophomores was the dance held December 1, called the Wopintoper Hopop. There was dancing to the music of Paul Dixon's orchestra. Chuck Walton was excellent as Master of Ceremonies, and the dance went off without a Haw. The sophomores Were not permitted to hold profit-making events, but nevertheless, the class of 47', has been established as a very capable group. Now being through with the voyage into the sophomore class activities, we shall proceed into the activities of the up and coming freshmen. Though they are not organized, they en- joyed a dance held on December 22. It was called the Snowball, and though they could not secure an orchestra, they danced to popular records. The Freshies', jumped and jived 'till they were quite worn out, and then returned home to dream of this exciting party. Last on our voyage of class activities comes the activities of the seventh and eighth grades. They are not yet organized either, and their activities were limited to individual homeroom parties. Limits on their activities didn't hinder them from havng a good time and the homeroom parties were enjoyed by all. The ship that carried us into the activities voyage is now pulling into port, and the journey is over for another year, when we shall once again repeat our journey, when each class has advanced a year in fun and education.

Klugnani Faculty Advisor This year, as every year. the good ship 'iXVestvian', set sail from Room 208 with the greatest project of XV est View High School ahead of her, turning out the best annual her crew and passengers ever set eyes upon. Before anchor was weighed, the crew assembled on deck to assign otlicers and jobs for the voyage. Franklin Blackstone become Lieutenant Commander. Editor-in-Chief, of the Westvian. The two Lieutenants Senior Grade were James Gibson, Business Manager who relieved Torn Smith of his post when Tom was assigned to Air Corps duty, and Lois Besler, Literary Editor. The Lieutenants junior Grade on hoard were Bill Hasek in command of photography and Vernie Lubitz in charge of paints and brushes. Gladys Soergel and Bob Cole took charge of all activity and sports write-ups for the annual. XVith all these officers so busy at their work, Chief Yeoman Virginia Huhn kept an accurate account of their activities in the shipis log. The otlicers nnnediately took charge of the voyage. Each and every shipinate was given orders for the day and instructed to stand by his battle station. All was in readiness and Mr. Mugnani gave the call to i'Up anchorv. The cry could be heard echoing throughout the vesselg the crew stood by and the i'VVestvian pulled away from the dock ready for the voyage ahead. There was plenty of hard work ahead of the crew, but there was a lot of good times for every- one. Among the many activities of the i'VVest- vianv, the crew engaged particularly in selling refreshments and sponsoring dances for the ath- letic events. Usually music was provided by re- cords, and Dave Bailey saw to it that we had the latest in jazz and sentimental swing, The big event of the year was May Day in all its splendor and glory. Everybody worked hard to make the voyage successful so that when the ship docked again for the summer months, the crew would have some- thing Wonderful to look back upon while enjoy- ing a well-deserved shore leave Carol Becker 5th row: 1.

Morale-buildingv and eating are synono- mous and so we find this Sigma Phi Sigma working in the shipis galley. They were cook- ing on all front burners when it came to making our boat a sure winner. Between the chief and assistant chefs, new and entirely different recipes were designed to lift the spirits of the passengers and crew for the years of 1944-1945. At the beginning of our voyage, Tom Smith was chosen chief of the kitchen, and for three months he successfully commanded the cook's activities. In November he was transferred to Uncle Samis Army Air Corps. A capable hand took charge when Harold. better known as Hawk, Uhlenburg took charge. Many opportunities presented themselves as the S. S. Westvian sailed through the year which called for brisk action. The Sigma Phi Sigma was right on hand when the passengers needed morale boasting. They began by holding pep rallies before each football game. Their first Harold Uhleuburg . . james Gibson ...... , ,,,, . Pat Lloyd . ,. .. Lois Resler , Mrs. Dorothea Gardner Mr. George Hein big event was the pep rally before the Millvale game. The band and student body paraded through the boro carrying with them a life size dummy made by two of our resourceful senior girls. They all gathered at the Athletic Field for a big bonfire accompanied with songs from the band and cheers from the students. junior, the dummy, was burned at the stake, symbolizing the intentions of our football Indians for the game with Millvale. Other than sponsoring pep rallies for the various athletic events, the Sigma- Phi-Sigma chartered ships to sail our passengers to other ports to see the games. They also helped plan the program for the Saturday nite Shuffle Shops in the ship's ballroom. The Sigma Phi Sigma, a new organization in the VV. V. High School, took birth in Septem- ber of '44 and has since then proved itself a neces- sary organization in the school. Rear Admiral Heim sponsored this Society for Promoting Spirit organization, until he was assigned to special duty on another shipg then Mrs. Gardner took the command. The work is already a part of us and we look forward with anticipation their activities for the next year. Ruth Kartlick 5th row: C. Mcfxiillen, R. Brown, lf. Boyle, ll. Phillips, F.

VVestvianl was in a temporary traffic turmoil. A few days later Harry White was elected Secretary of Traffic with Miss Alcott as sponsor. Experienced Shore Patrol- men John Fetter, John Henry, and George Dier- her were appointed as the Traffic Committee. The squad soon reached a battle strength of 36 regulars and eighteen reserves. Being an organ of Student Council, no regular officers were se- lected. However, they soon got to the trouble behind the holocaust, and within one week things were going smoothly. The next battle was that of the Cafeteria. The S. Pfs routed and defeated the enemy of Hookers,' and dear old Westvianl, was saved. The Shore Patrol of 1945 finallv had two- way traffic on all stairs. This had baffled all pre- vious traffic organizations. Also organized was a Traffic Court, an improvement long needed aboard the S. S. VVestvian in order to insure jus- tice to all concerned. The Traffic Court consists of the Traffic Committee with Miss Alcott and Harry White presiding. The defendant with the checker KS. P. who gives the ticketj talk it over with the court and straighten things out. Prov- ing that the Court has been very successful, very few passengers have been offenders a second time. Speaking for the sailors aboard the S. Westvian, I think Harry White, Miss Alcott, and the Hall Patrol of 1945 all deserve a citation for glistinguished service above and beyond the call of duty. Iames Maloney As we walk the decks of the good ship i'West- viann, we wonder who the muscle-men are who kept things usailin' smoothlyv. After inquiring, we find that the engineers are represented by none other than our masters-of-the-switch-board, those industrious stage crew members. Yes, these boys are the ones who do most of those un- expected duties-largc and small. They're sim- ply wizards at wiring. They never get shocked, .them-do you, boys? Many a person runs away when one of those wiggly-wobbly ladders are brought out, but the stage crew members climb them with ease. VVhen he reaches the top most rung, he looks down and laughs at the spectators whose eyes are popping out, hair standing on end, and their finger nails turning blue. These boys are ever ready and willing to do their ut- most to make every production at W. V. H. a success. They are the boys who are always back stage for every stage production at the high school. Whether it be a class play or a chorus concert they are there. It may be the Cantata, the Operetta, Baccalaureate, or Commencement, or just anything else, but whatever it is you can be sure the stage crew is on hand. Those little things count more than you think, even if it's just getting the pliers or some wire for Herb or Bob. Being a stage crew member means that you must be willing to serve unselfishly and faith- fully on any and all tasks, and that you have enough interest in your school and fellow stu- dents to keep things moving. Thatis why they deserve our admiration and thanks for helping us put across our individual interests and ideas. That is also why many stage crew members have been awarded the Unselfish Medal given by our school. But these boys are kept together and spur- red on through the excellent leadership of Miss planet Daubenspeck. Her untiring efforts and original ideas are of extreme value and credit to her.

Girl Reserve, is on another pleasant voyage. At the beginning some devilish gob conceived the idea of a hazing party for all the passengers on board who were not present last trip. This proved very enter- taining to all, including those being hazed. After the hazing there was a treat in the form of food for everyone on board. After that strenuous evening everyone was ready to hit the sackv, so they all retired to their cabins. Next in line of entertainment on the Voyage came the annual candlelight ceremony where all new passengers are oflicially Recognized . This ceremony is known as Rec0gnition,,, and it is a , jean Kossler Jean Louden . Dolores Newell Catherine Lema . . Miss Dolly Kiedaisch religious affair. At the conclusion of the cere- mony all the passengers retired to the dining salon for the annual Mother-Daughterv Ban- quet. There was a delicious meal and a very en- joyable evening was had by all. During the course of the trip the entertaing ment committee held several Tea Dances which were thoroughly enjoyed by all on board. Near the close of the voyage the annual May Day breakfast for all the Senior girls of the Class of 1945 of West View High School. As a Farewell remembrance, each girl was presented with a beautiful corsage. NVell, the voyage is over and you hear the call, All ashore that's going ashoref, and the anchor is lowered until next year.

Quartermaster Rear Admirals The Westviann is also equipped with a chart room that far surpasses that on any other ship. It is located on the top deck of the ship where all the other passengers can find it easily and use it to their best advantage. Before any girl can become an official member of the chart room crew she must undergo a hazing which is planned by a committee of old members. As soon as the new members have been properly installed, they begin their work in the chart room. Their chief job is seeing that books are properly checked in and out and that the new books are displayed effectively. They also have the never ending task of keeping books in repair. The two Sallie Bauer . Geraldine Neely Ellen Cramer Jean Hieber Miss Doris Lang Miss Virginia Delp very capable sponsors are always there, ready and willing to assist any passenger in find- ing interesting and helpful reading material. The oiiicial members also hold an annual Christ- mas banquet when they decorate the chart room for the winter holidays, and at least once during the year they have a Cake Walk in the Ship's gymnasium. Without the ever willing help of these girls, many of our themes and book-reports would never be handed in, and our idle moments would be spent unconstructively. Three cheers for the Library Club.

Bob Secthaler Af Ease Mrs. Carolyn Meyer Miss Doris Laing Everything was noise and confusion in the newsroom of the good ship VVestvian. The click of the typewriter could be heard by anyone who passed the room. The reason for all this was that the ship's newspaper At Ease was to be published the next day. The reporters had all brought in their write-ups, and the typists were busy typing them. NVhile everyone on the staff was working to the best of their ability, the other members of the crew were wondering when the At Ease was going to be distributed. They were anxious to find out the news of the ship and of their friends who were serving their country. The At Easei' was started last year so the crew would be kept informed on the news of the ship, and also any of the boys who had left the crew to serve their country could be kept in- formed on the activities and fun the crew was having. These boys wanted to know what was going on at their school. lt was thought that one way to keep them in touch with the school and to make their life a little brighter was to send them the news of their school in the form of a news- paper. Out of all this came the At Easef' It was primarily set up to be sent to the Ser- vicemen, but it is also distributed to the students of West View. lt is issued about every six weeks and sent to all Servicemen overseas and in this country. The paper is under the capable spon- sorship of Miss Delp, Mis Laing, and Mrs. Meyer. The 'KAt Easev contains articles about all the school activities, personals and gossip about the students, news of all social affairs, news of servicemen home on leave, and excerpts from letters of servicemen. The At Ease has been a great success the two years it has existed and will continue to be so as long as its need remains. Phyllis Bauer Girls Afhlefic Associafion Sthrowz L. Gzxllwits, B.

Ensign Chief Petty Officer Yeoman . , Quartermaster Rear Admiral The pleasure yacht KG. A. Af, upped anchor early in the year and set sail for the sea Good Timev. On board were about fifty healthy, fun- loving girls. The crew was divided into the Hrst and second crews. The first crew QSenior highj was on duty every Friday evening at 3:45 to 4:30, while the second crew Uunior highj stood watch every Tuesday evening. On board there was much in the way of fun. The voyage was divided into seasons. From September until November was the time for volley ball. Then, after volleyball, came basket- ball. This got the crew very excited as it is a favorite game of all members. After March lst, the crew reverted to volley ball, deck tennis, or softball, as they chose. When the trip was over, any member of the crew who had collected Hftv or more points on the voyage received one of those snappy rose and gold letters youive seen. A point is given for participating in the game, one-half point is Betty lane Steele Dolores Newell . Germaine Donnelly Marion Urling . . Miss Elizabeth Aiken given for winning and one-half point for a shower after the dayis activities. The points are carried over from seventh through ninth grade, then begin all over again for the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. It takes a great deal of time and perseverance to earn one of these letters which gives the owner the right to strut a little more. On board the G. A. Af, there was very little formality and very few rules, One rule con- cerned attendance. Any girl who missed three uinspectionsi' was dropped from the crew. But the main rule was concerning activities on board: namely, Play your best, play your fairestf, This was the Hrst year of organization in the Girls, Athletic Association, the G, A.

The decks of the S. S. Westviani' are usually brightened by the sight of lettermen displaying their prize possession mounted on their manly chests. They can also be recognized by their gold sweaters or their bright red varsity jackets. The Varsity Club is a very limited organiza- tion. To be eligible, one must participate in the majority of the total number of contests in that school sponsored which he participated. When those qualified are chosen every year, the fun begins, at least fun for the old numbers of Var- sity. Yes-it's the annual Varsity Initiation. This torture goes on for a week, the last day being bv far the most unenjoyable. Specifications for the week are as follows: One white shirt worn without being washed, One open umbrella carried to and from school, One flower to be worn in button-hole, Hair parted directly in middle of head, At mercy of veterans commands. What happens on the last night is a Varsity secret. The next day, the new members usually appear quite haggard, but always seem to have a proud and relieved look in their faces. The 1944-45 Season has been quite a bright one for the Varsity Club. In December the HS. S. Westvianv underwent the annual Varsity Turkey Raiiie, followed in April by the gala sports show -Varsity Varieties. Frank Skledar ll, Moore, H. Cardill, C. NIL-Nlilllcn, Mr. Ilm-in, H. Horst-h, pl. Xtlsi, D. Cornish, j, B1-aln-1. Ensign Chief Petty Officer Yeonian Hear Admiral As we travel along our S. NVcstvian cruise, there are few indeed, who have not discovered that one of the most important groups aboard are the radio technicians. In their working quarters, Room 201, situated on the top deck, meetings are held regularly three times each week. The only qualification for membership in this group is an understanding of science and physics and a genuine interest in some phase of radio. After our embarkation, the first part of the voyage was devoted to the study of International Code, in preparation for amateur licenses. To qualify for such a license, a Seaman must be able to send and receive at least thirteen words of code per minute. However, since our country's entrance in the present war, there has been a ublackoutn on amateur radio communications and no licenses have been issued. However, this does liicliard Moore Hobert Horsch jetta Mae Yost , . Nlr. George Hein not detract any from the interest of these sailors, who will certainly be prepared when the black- out on amateur transmitting will be lifted and 'ihamv communications cease to be restricted. The latter portion of the voyage was spent learning radio theory. Radio theory comprises the basic principles and formulas that are essen- tial to an understanding of more complicated electronic phenomenae. After completing the study of this subject, the group has developed a basis for interpreting any new developments that may arise. These sailors aboard our ship do not sponsor any social functions because no funds are needed in their service. They have, as a community service, fixed and equipped many radios of their fellow passengers. Ioanne Thompson Science Club Back row: Nliss Alcott, D. Funston. A. Purtinglton, ll. Arn, ll.

On the good ship VVestvian,' they can be found in either of the ship,s well equipped laboratories. Preferably Room 110. The Science Club on the VVestvian was organized in the fall of 1943 to satisfy those desires of our science minded stow-a-ways. Rear Admiral Alcott took complete command of their scientific voyage and proved as competent a leader as the scientists could hope for. They agreed to meet in their laboratory every XVed- nesday afternoon and this they did. Special programs were planned for each meeting and our scientists brought many of their problems there to be discussed and solved. The WVestinghouse Science Talent Search proves to be the goal of most of these students. These tests are given to all senior students and with the back ground they expect to receive in their present work, they have hopes of achieving success. VVe feel sure that they will, for aside from this goal they have already become success- .. Robert Schuldt .. , Alberta Eyles , . , james McCartney . . ., . Miss Carolyn Alcott ful in other fields. This group of S. S. Westvian scientists is carrying on many co-projects with the Science Clubs of America. These include the F. B. I., the Aeronautical Association, American Cancer Society, and others. Each member of the science club has entered upon some special pro- ject or study of their own. 4 These special projects include work about the human brain, chemistry of cosmetics and study of medicines. In the spring of each year the students who had some individual project of their own, were given the chance to enter them in the junior Science Fair. Last year the stu- dents from VVest View High School took more prizes than any other high school. This in itself proves how successful our Science Club is. This year, as before, they entered projects in the junior Science Fair. We're wishing them the best of luck and we feel confident that their studying and hard work will not be in vain. Herejs to smooth sailing for the future scientists of America. Carol Becker 3rd row: W. Schanc, R. Schuldt, R. Arn, Fullerton. E. Mc-Crow, D. Bailey, H. Dollhopf K. YVL-st, D. Archer, VV. Brumm, J.

As the contributor of all our ship's trophies, the National Forensic League Chapter stands out in our roll of activities. For this reason, we deemed it only just that its achievements be por- trayed on two pages of our log Before we proceed any farther, it might be well to point out the accomplishments of the District Tournament of last April. We cap- tured the usual two trophies at the Carnegie Tech speech finals, usual, that is, for West View. Dick Margerum came through by winning the Oratorical Declamation Championship for Penn- sylvania for the first time since Dick Spatz brought home the corresponding cup. Bill Ha- sek, one of this yearis crewmen, came home the most admired type of champion-a dark horse- with first place medal in Original Oratory. Bill really kept up the tradition. For the last three years, a junior from West View has been crowned champ in that division. Bill Perlik won in 1942, Jim Gammon in 1943, and Bill in 1944. Dick Hol- land got into the final round, which in itself is an achievement of no mean worth. He, too, was entered in Oratorical Declamation. Franklin Blackstone finished fourth in Extemporaneous Speaking, beating all other underclassmen. This year we looked forward to the Extemp first from either John Mullen or Franklin. Bill Hasek and Jack Roy stood as good a chance as anyone in the field of Oratorical Dec., on the basis of .. ..,,,.,, ...... J ack Hoy ,...... ., Thelma Helfner . .. .. . William Hasek , Mr. Carl E.

For the same reason we expected Jeanine Spatz to win the Humorous gold key in addition to her Dramatic one. ln debate, John Mullen and Bill Hasek on the negative, and Dave Bailey and Franklin Blackstone, the affirmative, were out to win the championship which has been denied for the last two years through no fault of theirs. This year,s question of Resolved, the legal voting age should be lowered to 18 yearsv was of particular interest to high school debaters. The 1946 West- vian will doubtless tell the full story we are un- able to record. We do know, however, the results of the District Student Congress. West View regained the Presidency of the Senate with Franklin Blackstone wielding the gavel. John Mullen took over Speakership of the House and ruled there as ably as only John can. Bill Hasek was elected Minority Leader and ranked in the upper three speakers from the Hoor of the House. We brought home second place in the race for the Congressional Trophy. For three months the S. S. Westvian reigned as leading ship in Pennsylvania NFL, in spite of the hardships imposed by wartime changes. Thus again we are able to justly salute the Na- tional Forensic League Chapter for its efforts for our good ship. Jeannine Spatz Chorus 4th row: 3rd row: 2nd row: lst row: M. Eidemiller, D.

Looking on the main deck, We see nearly one hundred and fifty members of the ship's Clee Club singing their delightful rendi- tions of many favorite songs. Much of the en- tertainment aboard ship is provided by this com- bined group of first, second and third class pas- sengers whose favorite pastime is filling the air with harmonious melodies. The Thanksgiving and Easter services were brightened by appropriate and familiar music. A very important event on the shipls log was the i'Childe Jesusu Cantata which took place, as usual, during the Christmas Season. The ship's officers deemed this production unusually good and paid the Glee Club the compliment of hav- ing the performance recorded for future refer- ence. The climax of the cruise transpired when the annual Operetta was presented. Miss Conner is the capable supervisor of this large group and through her unremitting efforts, steady progress has been made in the quality of the music. At the beginning of every voyage tryouts are held to determine the make- up of the group. Yeoman service was rendered by the Girl's T rio composed of Pat Beck, Romayne Evans, and Shirley Swartz, and also by the Male Quartet made up of Dave Archer, Bob Derr, Dave Kulh- ber and Frank Skledar, all first and second class passengers. New in our midst this year is a mixed Quartet consisting of Virginia Huhn, Vir- ginia Rowley, Dave Archer, and Bill White. This group specializes in sacred songs which from all indications are well received. The success of the Clee Club is anchored on a foundation of co-operation and good will and We are sure this condition will continue through other voyages. Virginia Rowley Opereffa 2nd row: R.

Amid the beating of the tom-toms, the stampeding of cattle, and the mys- terious ringing of ancient mission bells, the 1945 operetta came to a smashing climax on the memorable evening of April 20. The music of Charles Wakefield Cadmon, the famous composer of American Indian tunes, lost none of its delight- ful appeal. Ramon Ortego, the owner of the ranch, played by Bob Derr, is about to sell his last herd of cattle in order to pay off the mortgage held by jake Kraft, alias Bob Moll. The neighboring Indians want their tribal lands restored, and Pose, the medicine man, tells of a curse on the ranch and Capistrano Mission that it is to be lifted only when the bells of Capistrano ring again. jake Kraft urges Pose to steal that part of the great herdv which is remaining on the Ortego ranch. Noneeta, Virginia Rowley, an Indian girl who is a maid in the Ortego household, overhears this plan and persuades Lone Eagle, Indian Chief and her lover. to save the ranch by bringing the herd back. Dave Kaiser, Professor Anderson, his sister Laura, and a group of students arrive at the ranch. Three of the boys fall in love with three of the Ortego sisters. Mr. james Alden who has been sent to restore the old mission, arrives with his daughter Marion, Ginger Huhn. Ramon hears that his last herd has been stolen. He is about to give up hope when Marion discovers on an old painting, a secret map of a valuable mine. The Indians prevent everyone from entering the Mission. But Cow-Long manages to get past them to ring the bells. Lone Eagle drives the herd back and the Indians make peace with Ramon when he promises to restore their lands.

Westvian has been brightened by the rhythmic arrangements of songs both old and new which are played by the ship's orchestra. The orchestra is composed of the ship,s pas- sengers and stowaways. The only requirement is the ability to play an instrument well. The orchestra, besides entertaining the rest of the passengers aboard ship, gives the participants in it a hobby which they will have all their livesg or perhaps a profession by which they will earn their livelihood when the long voyage is over. The orchestra has always been one of the nicest parts of our assemblies. Remember the Speech Club assembly with the orchestra,s lovely arrangements of Christmas Carols? At every assembly the orchestra has come through with something equally as pretty. The orchestra was much more active after the first of the year. They had many engage- ments such as the second class passrngers play, a minstrel show and of course they had an im- portant part in the graduation of the first class passengers. We all realize how lucky we are to have Rear Admiral Tole, when we hear orchestras from other ships and compare our fine one to them. Thanks to Admiral Tole and the members of the orchestra, our ship has an orchestra which is a credit to the S. S. Westvian and one of which we can all be proud. Connie Black Back row: V. Smithman, L.

NVestvian,s band which offers an excellent opportunity for those of the crew and passengers who are musically inclined. The band does most of its performing dur- ing the football season. When our warriors go from the fighting decks, the ship's band comes marching on. Its colors, which are symbolic of the S. S. VVestvian, immediately catch the eye of all passengers and crew. Under the direction of Rear Admiral Tolc, the drum majorette, acrobats, flag twirlers, sponsor line and cheerleaders worked out many clever and skillful routines which they per- formed on the fighting deck. You remember the snappy chorus line, the star. the trolley and many others. These could not have been pos- sible without the splendid music of the band. xsln' .. W1 . Ai' On shore leave for Armistice Day and Christmas, the band marched in both parades. In December, the football fans at Pitt Stadium and Forbes Field were honored by the perform- ance of the band. To help purchase new uniforms, the P. M. A. held a review of talent and also a ininstrel for an eveningis entertainment aboard ship. The members of the band canvassed the staterooms of the passengers in order to help a little with the cost of the uniforms. When we docked at the ports of Millvale, Springdale, and West View in the latter part of january, we joined with their bands and had a concert on the top deck under the stars. The new uniforms were first displayed at a card party held in the main ballroom. They were very much admired by everyone there. The symbol of the S. S. Westvian is the Indian. This is carried out in the band in the form of jack Beaber dressed as an Indian. The peppiest nine gals on board are the cheerleaders. They are Lois Resler. Captain, Margie Craig, Pat Beck, Ruth Stark, jean Wall, Dot Millhizer, Gayle Korneke, Shirley Lawrence, and Nancy Crozier. They kept the spirit of the ship up to its highest peak during all the athletic events. Richard Smith 4th row: W. Lang, R. Brown, R. Am, L. Heil, I. Heaton, I. Rumpler, E. Stewart, C. Crispens, H.

' L. ., With the rustle of autumn leaves and the early winter snow Hurries just around the corner, West View High School football heroes began a season well worth shouting about. They began their voyage on August 24th, when they set sail for Epworth Woods Camp to spend a week of rugged training in preparation for the rough sea ahead. Their whole program was under the able direction of our new football coach, Elmer McGrew and his chief assistant, Paul Dodson, now serving in Uncle Sam's Army. Tom Smith and Kent Thorpe also helped to carry out the health program for the squad. The first stop for our energetic eleven was Baldwin Twp. where our Indian braves were held to the score of 0-0. It was in this game the center, Jack Roy, received an injury preventing him from further participation. By this time the voyage was well under way, and when Avalon put into our home port for a battle royal, the Indians were really on the warpath. They showed us they had what it takes and the spectators showed they had the spirit when the score became W. V.-14, Avalon-12. The sea seemed pretty calm for the time being and the boys decided it was the right time to take on our old rival, Millvale. With Iamme throwing passes to Reel how could we miss, the team brought home a 12-0 victory.

The W. V. Indians bowed honorably in defeat to the score of 14-7. Next week the storm broke with all its fury when Bellevue put into our home-port. Even while Cully and Topham routed the enemy backfield, with the tackling of Hock and Novak, and with the block busting attack of Casper and Kennyg there seemed no way we could hold up against the passing attack of the Bellevue eleven. This defeat didnit discourage the team and they sailed straight to Avonworth to beat them 32-6. Swissvale put into W. V.'s harbor the follow- ing week and there were many people who placed their bets on Swissvale as the winner. Even with their strong fighting team, they couldn't stand up against our W. V. Indians. The Indians sent their opponents home with a 12-7 defeat. The end of the voyage was near. Only two more games, and even though they were hard fought battles, W. V. bowed in defeat to Avalon and Crafton. When the team sailed home again they were welcomed with the cheers of many happy students. Never had W. V.'s football voyage been so colorful, exciting and victorious. Carol I. Becker Tl ' as 5.1 Q , . ' 5: I I ,mf-iQ A Mx. g f 'Q-253.5 I ...Ay X . f . ings .NME .dm Lai' 1' ,.lK Q.

West View started its basketball season this year with a smashing victory as we docked our ship in our home port. Shaler High was our target for the evening, and our crew showed real teamwork in beating the invaders for our Hrst victory. The first of the season was piloted with the fine supervision of Coach McCrew. Then West View was graced with a new faculty member. Mr. Clutter came to us from California State Teachers College and was quite an active bas- Back row: R. Beynon, J. Meister, M. Blaner, R. Cain, R. Fleming. Front row: J. Kort, J. Youden, j.

Although our fighting squad under- took many hardships this year the fellows did their best to regain West Viewis good reputation. Glancing over this year,s crew we find a few new enlistments in addition to our Varsity holdovers from last year. First of all we find little but powerful joe Thomas an indomi- table fighting spirit. Our two gifts of ability from Hamilton, Huckv Heel, West View's all around athlete, and big Harry VVhite who took over the defense of our heavily bombarded bas- ket because of his size and ability to outreach most of his fellow crewmen. Others proved their ability in battle as they carried the ball down the floor for W V H. S. Among these Were: Bob Howell, Bob Moll, Kent Thorpe, Rudy Mion, Irvin Murray, and Eddie Eyles. While taking a quick glance over the Ir. Varsity,s record for the season we find that this crew of boys fared a little better than the Varsity did. Members of this squad that flashed their wares in action on the court were: Jack Fuller- ton, 'KRed,' McGlauglin, Lloyd Murray, Bob Flemming. Although the season wasn't too successful the spirit was plentiful and it was a small im- provement over last year,s scores.

Luk A large, green-covered mat i11 the center of the floor, with evcry eye focused on the two struggling figures in an exciting match. That was the typical picture found at all the very interesting and entertaining wrestling matches aboard the S. VVestvian. The crew launched its session with a match lost by only one individual point, With Rear Admiral Renton at the helm and the consistent victories of lack Stewart, the Coles, Art Barton. and Bob Horsch, full steam aheadi' became the battle cry. VVhen they docked for a match with Mars, our crew sank them 11-3. Onward. Rough water was in store at the ports of Waynesburg, Greensburg, and Canons- burg as a glance at the Record will tell. Showing they could give it out, as well as take it, our lads t1'ounced Shadyside, Jefferson, and Dormont. The boys took turn being captain with Dick Cole starting off. The ranks were bolstered by several new-comers, namely jim Checkan, Kent Thorpe, Bill Miller, and Ken Richey At the WPIAL Tournament at XVaynesburg in March, jack Stewart came through with runner-up position and a silver metal in the 133 pound class. Bob Cole lasted to the semi-finals, as did Ken Richey. This is a distinction in itself and these fellows merit praise for it. Thus we concluded the voyage for '45. It was successful but we hope future skies will be even clearer. Sallie Bauer 76 Class 88 95 .....,. 103 ..,,. , 112 ., 120 Wrestler Richey, Ruffalo McCune, Tyson .

The shout rings out and a minute later a ball goes whizzing down the fairway to land Within a few inches of the cup. The golf team's out on the links again, ready to set a new record. Although four of their men did not return this year and Leo Barisano will not be here, we hope they will be able to better the record set by their predecessors. Last year's team chalked up a highly successful season when they cinched the section title with a perfect record of all wins. They then went into the W. P. I. A. L. semi-finals where they smqered defeat at the hands of Baldwin. The team was under the capable guidance of Mr. Tiffany. Homer McCarthy teed off in the number one position, followed by Dale Duncan in number two. Leo Barisano, Rchard Holland, and Mickey Cole were in the third, fourth, and fifth positions respectively. They did a good job, but this year we'd all like to see that gold cup perched in the library. So what do you say, fellows? That little ball looks much better on the green than in one of the sandtraps that line the fair- way. Pat Holland TS Baskefball Back row: J. Hirth, D. Flask, D. Kaiser, R. Howell, B. Phillippi, I.

The sound of a bat connecting with a swiftly flying white sphere proclaims the opening game of the baseball season. The team was victorious in their first game and was spurred on to a second victory over Avalon, only to encounter a drastic defeat from Mt. Lebanon. During the remainder of the games, the team played good ball and ended the season with five victories and six losses. At the Leetsdale home game the entire team was on its toes coming through with the best score of the season. Each of the nine players at some time during the game connected with the ball. Dave Kuhlber starred in the game by hitting a single, two doubles, and a triple. Ralph Betcher and Huck Reel, the mainstays of the squad. hit regularly and were outstanding in almost every game. Two indispensible ,44 graduates were Wib', Wagner on the mound and Budv Steirheim, the old reliable, behind the plate. Few balls got past the Ballhawks,', Paul Stahl, and Bob Howell, while Ken Vierling hit rather consistently and made spectacular catches in left field. Not to be outdone, Jack Miller made a name for himself by his excellent plays at second base. The substitutes got into quite a few games and proved themselves very capable As is true in most cases the substitutes stuck to their jobs and really gave the regulars a substantial force to fall back on. This season was very successful and our desire is that on the ,45 vf-'rare of the S. S. Westvian the team is just as successful if not more so.

The cur- tain rose on a hl-,ood-cnrdliug, hair-raising mystery comedy. The Scarecrow Creepsf, presented by the up and coming Class of 1945. Old and very wealthy Roderick Cage invited his relatives to his home, Gage Manor. to learn who was the most deserving of his fortune. The play held true to its title as Roderick had his colored chore hoy dress as a scarecrow. Ile crept out from a hidden trap door and rocked the deceased Dora Cageis rocking chair. No one dared sit in it for he helieved his life to he endangered i f he did. Not only the scarecrow crept, hut chills crept up and down the spine of each and every passenger as guns were fired when the stage was in complete darkness. YVomen screamedg Miss Amelia conversed with her spiritual friendsg and roars of thunder and lightning continued throughout. As all plays have romance to some degree, so this was no exception. Roderickis two nephews tried to Win the affection of their pretty cousin Norma. Perrv, a spoiled vouth, thought he could have Norma just as he had everything elser hut Norma chose Kenneth, a young and charming doctor. Comedy was added hv the colored cook, Aunt Ziunia. her lazy son, Trailini Arhutus, and the huxom village girl. Nlaudie. who was the hired house maid. The curtain was drawn on a production well worth the applause it received, and the shipis auditorium shook with the passengers, approval. The play had heen a success. as usual with those under the capahle direction of Nliss Delp. Frances Bukauslcas 82 CAST .Xdani Bedt i,,. ..,.. . . Harry Boyle Nlaudie . , .. , ,. .,..

Cu Shipboard entertainment on November l0, 1944 consisted of a three act comcdy play, ulanieli, presented by the Hrst-class passengers. The deck was exceptionally crowded as all aboard were anxious to sec the best play to be given by this group. The plot centered around lanie Colburn, a typical teen- age girl in her senior year at Hortonville High. Scooper,' Nolan, her high school boyfriend, was filled with jealousy when tall and handsome Pvt. Dick Lawrence, stationed at an army camp in Hortonville, became janiels new heart beat. A supplementary romance was furnished by Thelma Law- rence, Dickls mother, and john Van Brunt, a resident at the Colburn home. Ianie and her two best girlfriends, Paula Rainey and Bernadine Dodd, invited Dick and some of the other soldiers from camp over for little get togetherv. Un- fortunately, however, the soldiers thought they all were in- vited, a result, the Colburn residence was turned into a Servicemanis Canteen for the evening. This hilarious mishap caused Mr. Colburn a trip to the police station. Mrs. Colburn was terrified when she learned that Elsbeth, Janieis seven year old sister, wasnit in bed but riding a bus somewhere in town, supposedly going to grandmais. Amid the confusion. Elsbeth returned home with her new friend, Uncle Poodgie, later iden- tified as agent whom Mr. Colburn had vainly tried to contact. Anxiety was eliminated when ScooperD and Janie were united and conditions returned to normal at the Colburn residence. The sails were lowered and so ended the play, truly an example of what fine talent the first-class passengers had. Many thanks are given to the stage crew, property managers, sound effects men, scenery artists, prompters and to Rear Admiral lanet Dauhenspeck whose orders to steer the first- classers in their presentation are successfully and capably carried out.

S. Westvian '45, we have tried to depict all the important events that occurred aboard ship during its nine month voyage. The iirst class passengers, arrayed for their Hnal appearance, have been assembled for your inspection, all the activities that took place aboard ship have been reviewed, and the commanding oilicers have stood by to await your pleasure. The Admiral has come on deck, everyone is awaiting his com- mand-the order is given and the S. S. Westvian '45 casts anchor. In the golden glow of the sunset the first class passengers are given their discharge papers and go ashore. 'The crimson rays of the setting sun crown the ship's mast and phophesy success for those who have completed this voyage and who are beginning their most impor- tant voyage of all. virginia Wilson 95 Q , .g mi..
