His spirit drove people on to do the impossible. He would never settle down when there was a frontier to be conquered. He always sought what was beyond the horizon and when he had achieved it, he would reset his goal. He had definite ideas on life and government, and strived to make them a part of the American way. His frontiers were forests and mountains, deserts and plains, rivers and valleys. The early pioneers lived a rough life, facing many hardships, obstacles, and mishaps. He had to travel light, depriving himself of luxuries, and because of this, he proved how resourceful a human can be. His bravery and courage have been a valuable example for American living. Today, America faces new frontiers-frontiers that the country has never faced before. Atomic research has opened new horizons that have yet to be explored. World government has also opened a new and far reaching field-social and racial problems only being a small part. Science and industry have also opened new frontiers. There is much to be explored and conquered. We, the Class of 1946, emerge into life, just as the pioneers of old, facing new frontiers. Our pioneering will do much to determine the future of America, and even the future of the world. We will have to face hardships, obstacles, and mishaps if we wish to make this a better, more peaceful world. We will again have to prove how resourceful an American can be. We are basing this, the 1946 Westvian, on these pioneers- of early America and of today-and the spirit behind them that makes them so great. Westvian - 5 'S ef- K v,W.,,,., -- nm ,,..1-- ffm '-'Ulu Westvian - 6 wan, obefcafion To pave the way for the settlers in the westward movement in America, pioneers had to face many hardships and dangers and made costly sacrifices. They cleared the way for the people that followed behind, sometimes at the cost of their own lives. America is proud of these pople that led the way. lt is to the pioneers of today who sacrificed their lives to pave the way for America's and humanity's future, that we dedicate this, the 1946 Westvian. They lie in lonely graves all over the world, though each and everyone of them deserves a wonderful monument. America can never repay these boys for the great sacrifice they have made. LT.

Those of you who started here as seventh graders in September 1940 were already hearing the rumblings of world conflict. That spring you were probably on hand to cheer the first two of twelve teachers who were to leave academic robes behind and don the blue or khaki of Uncle Sam's armed forces. And then the next December came Pearl Harbor and a country at war. That war continued almost until your senior year. While you were too young to ioin up for combat duty, you still did your share by attending to the many chores on the home front. Now you are at the milestone that marks the end of your term of childhood. You come out of a high school into a world not at peace but at least not at war. We like to feel that this war which cost us so much in human suffering, material resources, and upset economic structure has also presented us, and particularly you, with the opportunity to build a better world for tomorrow. Because if the world of tomorrow isn't a better world, there won't be any world left for to- morrow. You naturally ask what you can do about building a better world. It sounds like a tremendous iob. We at West View High School like to feel that we have helped in some small way to prepare you for such a iob. We hope that we have built character--a willingness to see the right and do it, tolerance for those of other faiths, colors, or creeds, sympathy for those oppressed or underprivileged, and a willingness to give and take. These things will bring a better world. To those of you who are planning, to continue formal education in colleges or other schools, I want to wish you all success and I know that great things will be yours if you are willing to work hard enough to obtain them. To the girls entering nursing, I wish a sympathetic ond understanding nature. To those en- tering soon into industry or retail selling, I wish a willingness to give honestly of time and ability. To one and all, I hope you will keep continually before you our school motto . . . Not to be served but to serve. Sincerely yours, Westvian 4- 10 W. R. PAYNTER A. B., M. Ed Supervising Principal Wesfvian - 11 - .s Ae Sligo! MEM! Left to right: Frank J. De Maria, Charles Marien Jr., Harold Beck, Lawerence Morehouse, Edward C. Werner, Charles E. Wissner, Harold Slack, Harry G. Canning The impressive leaders of our school sys- tem sat patiently in Mr. Paynter's office. lt was the first Tuesday of the month, and that is the day set aside for our school board to meet. Some of the issues that have been discussed and acted on at these meetings this year were the appoint- ments of new teachers and custodians and the setting of their salaries. They have also regu- lated school taxes and expenditures, argued the pros and cons of the maintenance problem, and sought the best brands of all supplies that a comparatively big school like ours needs and uses. Summing up a good definition of the school board, we will say they are the policy-making body for the school. Aside from the duties of the school board that are taken for granted, there is the achievement on the development of the high school building and grounds surround- ing the school. Many improvements on our ath- letic field have also been made, due to their suggestions. In the near future there are other plans that the school board intends to carry through. A new addition to the high school is the biggest thing on the list of the future. In the new addi- tion there will be a new gymnasium, which means the stage and auditorium will be used as a stage and auditorium from then on. The shop also should again become part of the high school. As long as we have such stable men as Mr. Edward Werner as president, Mr. Lawerence Morehouse as vice-president, and Mr. Harry Can- ning as secretary, the school board will, no doubt continue its excellent work. In all fairness to the officers and following members: Harold Beck, Frank De Mario, Charles Marien Jr., Har- old Slack, and Charles Wissner, we should men- tion that their time and service is donated. All in all, they certainly are doing a grand iob. Westvian - T2 .QQCDLA ROBERT JORDAN-B. S. M. Ed. Indiana State Teachers College, University of Pittsburgh Principal Mr, Robert F. Jordan was elected principal of West View High School in the fall of 1945 after his return from the European Theater of Operations. Our principal formerly taught at West View in 1939, 1940, and '41. He was exceedingly popular with both faculty and students, and now he has a better opportunity to be of service to our school. Mr. Jordan entered the army as a private and was successively as- signed to the mechanized cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas, and the reception center at Fort Leavenworth, where he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. After three months of rigorous training at Officer's Candidate School, he emerged with the bars of a second lieutenant in the Air Forces. Mr. Jordan saw service as a Combat intelligence Officer assigned to the 10th Fighter Squadron, 50th Flying Group, in England, France, and Ger- many for a period of seventeen months. Mr. Jordan was promoted to first lieutenant and then captain before returning to the United States to receive his ultimate discharge. , ..,,. t ' i 55 ELIZABETH AIKEN-B. S. CAROLYN ALCOTT-- ANNA C.

Jacobs The Student Council pioneers its way into each West View school year as the first school organization to function. With a post war spirit of enthusiasm and fervor the group plan- ned the school activities when they organized the second week in September. Each year the council manages a maga- zine campaign. This year Jack Jacobs took charge with Midge Hamburg and Herman Foster as assistants. Every home room selected a rep- resentative who managed sales in his own group. On the magazine sales the Student Council made a profit of seven hundred dollars, which was used for bigger and better assem- blies. These assemblies are planned by the council to insure the student body a variety of educational and entertaining presentations. Among those planned for the year were: A hyp- notic session with Mr. D. K. Ernst, a lecture on Japan, exchange assemblies with other high school groups, plays, special speakers for fes- tive days, a Brotherhood Week program, a Radio Club skit and others. We all appreciated these assemblies and found them worthwhile. A new point system was devised which would give points to a person for National Honor Society according to the amount of work done in that particular activity. Bob Derr and Tom Nebel were sent as dele- gates to the Greensburg convention. They came back with the report that our school was further advanced than any other school repre- sented at the conference. We can be proud of the work our Student Council has done to put us in this position. Other activities of the Council were Clean Up Campaigns, Locker inspections, Traffic Reg- ulations and Lunch Programs. The Council of '46 hopes that the next year will find a true desire on the part of all belong- ing to the group to carry on the type of work attempted this year.

Today we also have this recognition of students for these same qualities. ln the schools the National Honor Society does this. The National Honor society was organized six years ago at West View High School, and gives recognition to the students for four qualities-scholan ship, leadership, character, and service. Under the system in operation in West View, members of the faculty vote into this society a number of students equal to one-tenth of the senior class and three percent of the iunior class. Only sen- iors and iuniors ranking in the upper twenty-five percent of their classes are eli- gible for membership. For many students, both this year and in the past, this recognition is all they receive for work and service to their school. The small gold keys donated by Miss McGinnis prove to the observer that the wearer is a leader in his field. The society with the assistance of Miss Ruth Vogel edited the Student Hand- book. Those members who took part in this were: Jack Roy, Roland Dollhopf, Betty Jane Steele, Jeanine Spatz, Bert Phillippi, Frank Skledar and Bob Horsch. These members were the chosen three percent of the iunior class of last year. Last year at a formal candlelight service the new members were received into the society. Later chicken dinner was served at the Pines. This year, a special tap service was held for recognition of the new honor students. This proved to be an interesting and enioyable event. And so the 1946 Westvian salutes the National Honor Society and its mem- bers, with a suggestion that it be made a powerful, active, and cohesive force in bettering coming years at West View. The pioneer spirit is still with us today and may it keep us going steadily forward. Westvian - 47 ui 77 1 owrief 2nd Row: E. Ryen, F. Worst, E. Trice, F. Skledar, J. Henry, J. Roy, l. Murray, B.

Millhizer West View High School blazed a new frontier in the field of high school dramatics when on the night of March 23, 1945, the iunior class presented Harriet, The class was the first in the United States to secure the royalty for this play, and it was the very tirst time that it had ever been presented on any high school stage. Harriet Beecher Stowe has become renowned as the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and the play told of her life and her struggle to help free the slaves. One of the most exciting and dramatic incidents in the production was the scene where Sukey, an old colored slave-woman who ran away from her captives, sought help from Harriet. For an emotionally-packed moment, that was one of the best. A touch of comedy was with the rivalry be- tween Harriet's twins, Hattie and Eliza, and her vounger daughter, Georgie, over the love of Lowell Denton, a new and exciting neighbor boy. ln the humorous sequences, Georgie was victorious, much to the astonishment of the haughty twins. The production was more diiificult than most because of the elaborate costumes and settings which the play required, but under the very cap- able direction ot Miss Delp, it was presented with huqe success.

Rudy Mion t,fmsvmsf- gli . -. w The lights were dimmed, the orchestra played, and the seniors of 46 presented their play, Stage Door, on November 21, 1945. The play centers around Terry Randal, a beau- tiful young girl who is trying to find a place on Broadway. She lives in a boarding house with girls who are trying to get on the stage. Terry meets Keith Burgess, a young playwright and thinks she is falling in love with him. Keith writes a play and promises her the lead, but when he signs the contract she is not to be the leading play- er. Meanwhile, another man has appeared in Terry's life, and he is David Kingsley, the movie producer. Both Kingsley and Keith run out on Terry. A year later both Kingsley and Burgess show up again. Keith plans to marry Terry, but she re- fuses, and he goes away very disappointed. Kingsley decides to give Terry a chance by contact- ing a friend of his. Her try-out is a failure, but Kingsley buys the play so she can play the leading part. Now let's go behind the scenes. If you had a chance to show up at rehearsal you would be greeted with something like this, Where are the pretzels? , Who has my potatoe chips? At every rehearsal the cast had a dinner starting with a course of potatoe chips and ending with a drink of water or pop of some kind. But, in all, every- one worked hard and did a good job. The play was directed by Miss Daubenspeck, and we all know she did a fine iob in training our acting talent. Westvian g 49 zfmiolf rom The Crystal Ballroom, Brad Hunt's orches- tra, and the Hotel Schenley gave an air of soph- istication as the starry-eyed couples glided over the dimly lighted dance floor. West View was the first high school to have their prom at the Schenley and everyone that attended will tell you that they were not sorry that it was held there. The huge mirrors of the Crystal Ballroom reflected the gayly colored gowns the girls wore as they swirled and turned to the music. All were received by a distinguished reception line of junior officers, sponsors, and school board members. When you were introduced at the head of the line to Audrey Schilpp and Presi- dent Roland Dollhopf your name was pronoun- ced the way it should have been, but by the time it got past the officers and sponsors to the end of the line, you wouldn't even recognize it your- self. Once inside the room, the mellow glow, and the fascinating rainbow colors left you stare in amazement as the dreamy music of the or- chestra stirred through the room like a mist. Back in a cozy corner was a snack bar where couples could go to relax and enioy a refresh- ing bottle of pop. The scent of the flowers wore off, some of the enthusiasm of the earlier hours diedg the dancers left, first in small groups, then by big numbers. At one o'clock the last couple straggled out and the Junior Prom was over. But the evening was still young for a Prom night, as you could tell by seeing all the Westvians at the Balconades, the airport, Priors, or anywhere within the stratosphere of a night's travel. v After one of the most wonderful evenings of our Junior year, the early hours of the morn- ing saw us stealing sleepily, but happily, into our homes. Westvian - 50 enior ance What shall we do -- Shall it be at school, or shall we have it at the Colonial? - ls the dance to be semi-formal or informal? These questions could be heard echoing through the halls in West View High School a few weeks before the big Senior Christmas Dance. As the executive officers and council sat up in Mr. Payn- ter's office trying to do the thing that would please the maiority, more and more problems confronted them. The class had already voted for the dance to be held at the Colonial. The girls also voted that the dance be held as an in- formal dance. lt was believed then that every- thing was set. Arrangements were made to have Clyde Knight's Orchestra play the sweet mellow tunes for us-and then we discovered that this orchestra couldn't play at the Colonial due to Union differences. Another class meeting was held and a vote was taken on whether or not to hold the dance in the high school gym. It was decided by the majority that the dance should be held in the gym on the night of Decem- ber 20 with Clyde Knight's Orchestra as the main attraction. The gym had to be decorated, so we scurried over to school in our oldest dungar- ees and Pop's oldest shirt to tackle this decora- tion problem. Somehow, somewhere, they found the necessary Christmas trees and mistle- toe. The ceiling was covered to form a blue sky with a sprinkling of twinkling stars, the at- mosphere of o Christmas Night Club was thus created. At last the hour had arrived, and couples from far and near trudged through the ice and snow to our own high school gym. The dance was an open affair, thus students from all grades came. All the work and worry, the dis- appointments and set-backs of the weeks pre- ceding the dance were rewarded by the turn- out and compliments which the dance commit- tee received. Refreshments were served in the school halls. x At one o'clock the orchestra put away their instruments and our sponsors, Miss Conner and Mr. Paynter, cast a last glance around to see that everything was in apple pie order. Another big event on the Senior calendar had success- fully ended. Westvian - 51 3rd Row: J. Ehrenfr - zfmlfor ied, B. Barnlwarf, I. Berry, J. Bond, R. Arn, W. Blum, R. Carettie, G. Bauer, F.

Graham ln the world of tomorrow you can turn the clock back and live in any period of your high school days that you wish by paging through your Westvian. You can look back and see the enjoyable times you have had, some of your mistakes, and perhaps be able to direct some of your future from the past. Our Westvian Staff has done its best to present the experi- ences you have had at West View High School. Every yearbook staff faces anew the prob- lems of originality and the struggle of present- ing a fitting theme to typify the years of high school life. The Westvian this year uses as its theme a comparison of the American frontier people, who themselves were students of a new life, a new land, and new experiences, iust as we the class of l946, face a new era of living in a new one world , a new world frontier, and since 1945, a new postwar perspective. The leader of our trail through this en- deavor was our Editor-in-Chief, Frank Skledar. He planned the Westvian adventure with the keen mind of a scout and the intellectual fore- sight of a promising iournalist. Bob Horsch set up our trade posts for money-making schemes and gave us successful financial backing. Aud- rey Schilpp plotted the literary routes we took. Martha Schaefer accompanied her in the activi- ties field. Roland Dollhopf set his telescopic lens to produce your events in picture form. With sketch book in hand Betty Singer integrated our theme into the art work. John Henry wore the harried expression of a surveyor as he planned our Westvian layouts. The diary of our work was kept by our able secretary, Lil Zehnder, Bert Phillippi gave us action in the field of sports. We sincerely hope you will accept the 1946 Westvian with the staff's best wishes, for it is our paramount concern that you enioy its con- tents. Westvian - 63 'N-Q 3rd Row: Miss Vogel, R. Beran, M.

Soon after the United States entered the war, many boys from the Junior and Senior classes were being inducted for military service, the members of West Wind Staff realized the need for some tie between those boys and our school. lt was decided that the West Wind should be changed to a publication expressly for them. That was the birth of the paper, At Ease. This year, when the talk everywhere was reconversion, the need for reconversion in our school paper was recognized and now, as in years past, it is back on a peacetime basis. The paper is published bi-weekly under the supervision of the sponsors, the editor-in-chief, Harry Tait. lt's not too dif- of newspapers, which were often called News Miss Vogel and Miss Delp, and ferent from the early beginning Letters. They too were printed on both sides of a sheet of newsprint about one fourth as large as a page of full-sized newspaper today. The policy on the West Wind is to have the person associated with the par- ticular news item write that article, therefore, nothing goes unnoticed! Some of the columns, other than news, that have become an every issue necessity this past year were: Drool Daze , the who's who of gossip land, Fash with cu Dash , The ultra smart fashions for our high school, lnquiring ReporteH', who asks our students their views on such questions as, What do you like best about West View? , Meet the Faculty , the personal lives and thoughts of the teachers. The deadlines are always set a day or two ahead of time, but you can always see one or two members rushing in to Room 205 after the deadline. But still the West Wind Staff has done well on its reconversion job. Westvian - 64 Editor-in-chief Managing Editor , News Editor , .

Schultheis ln recent years the iunior high has stood in the background when the newspaper was con- cerned. Their names appeared in the paper, it seems, only if they Happened to be around when any news was being brought to attention by a senior high school member of the newspaper staff. This year they were given their chance to be a part of the paper themselves, in fact they had a whole page to themselves to fill as they saw fit. Under the fine guidance of Miss Bailey, all of those junior high school students interested in working on their portion ofthe West Wind as- sembled on Thursday, September 20, and elected their officers. The results of this election were as follows: Editor-in-Chief ,. .... Shirley Schultheis News Editor .. .,.. Beverly Chase Features Editor ..,.. ,.,. , Jean Miller Sports Editor .. . ..,. John Fletcher M. Madden, F. McElroy, D. Phillips, L. Dorland, L.

They interview the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, and work to make them better acquaint- ed with the school and their fellow classmates as well as the senior high students. Their Louise not Brown , Louise not Black , Louise White type of poetry started a new idea not only in West View, but also with other schools with whom we exchange papers. This work gives them the feeling of having a big part in the events of the school. They have their own Super Snooper column about their own kids, which, without a doubt, is always a main interest in a school paper. The work of the West Zephyr has really proved the keen workmanship ofthe iunior high, and we are quite certain that they will be recog- nized in the West Wind for many years to come.

John Henry Just as some always-ready pioneers worked to uphold the spirit and courage of their fellow colonists in their struggle for survival, so West View's energetic people add to the spirit of West View by their work in the Sigma Phi Sigma. Plodding faithfully along, this organization has done much for the spirit of the school during the previous year. The association was started in the middle of the football season. Their activities were begun by the planning of a campaign for the winning of the Shaler vs. West View game. The pioneers, like so many others before them, began their campaign by painting signs with various win- ning slogans on them. These signs were placed in all of the school rooms and in all of the halls. A short skit was written and dramatized. The actors were some of the boys on the football team, even the women in the skit were portrayed by the players. The cheerleaders did their part in the pep assembly at which the play was given, and as a result of this, more school spirit seemed to have been brought forth. Sigma Phi Sigma chartered many busses and streetcars so that more of the students could go to the away games. Sometimes the trails to our opponents' schools were quite long, and these means of transportation were wel- comed by many people. The members sold pro- grams, collected tickets, sold refreshments, and did various other helpful things at the games held on our own local territory. The profits made from the selling of refreshments and programs were given to the yearbook fund. All in all, Sigma Phi Sigma, under the cap- able guidance of Mr. Martorelli, progressed and did its best to produce more of that same spirit the early pioneers had when they were winding their way to the height of the horizons.

Miss Conner, the capable director of this group, makes choral work fun through untiring effort in voice classes and rehearsals, and through her vibrant personality. Each year at the first rehearsal, Miss Con- ner holds her breath, hoping she has good bal- ance. This year as always, she was not disap- pointed. Westvian -- 68 1 The annual Childe Jesus Cantata was as beautiful this year as ever. As the simple beauty of the story of the Christ Child was por- trayed by the living pictures, the Chorus sang the ioyous message, making it one of the most impressive programs of the year. Gayety and high spirits held full sway at the Spring Festival. Spirituals, a few sacred selections, and many light, peppy ditties, made for a delightful evening of entertainment. Contests were eagerly awaited long in ad- vance by enthusiastic members, however the only ones permitted to attend them were those picked by Miss Conner for the Traveling Chorus. This Traveling Choir spread even further the fame of West View's choral ability. A special choral group of a few male mem- bers of the chorus have just got their start this school year. They were organized because singing is their favorite past time. Before more questions are asked we will inform you who composes this Boy's Ensemble.

From early America to the present day American, bands have played their timely tunes and marched straight into the hearts of millions of people. The band has become a traditional part of West View. Rah, rah, the team, boys, West View must win! With a roll of drums, and a clash of cym- bals-all eyes turned toward the south end of the field. There, arrayed in bright red and yel- low, the West View Band marched in shining splendor. A pretty young maiorette, a roll of drums, and the traditional victory song, all blended together forming one of the best march- ing bands West View has ever known. At their head, Jane Tessmer, new chief maiorette, blew the signal for the Alma Mater, and hundreds of voices blended in the beautiful theme. All year the band practices faithfully, and for the last Westvian time in the season they played for the student body. This year has seen quite an improvement in our marching band. Under the leadership of James Caruso, music major from Westmin- ster College, they had been invited to play for such events as the Pittsburgh Steeler games at Forbes Field, dedication services, and holiday parades. Composed of about fifty members, the band has played a really important part in the high school year. The band deserves a lot of credit this year for they marched in one of West View's dampest seasons. But the spirit wasn't dulled by the de- pressing weather, and the two charming major- ettes, Betty Farina and Eileen Ryen kept the band high stepping in any weather. We might say that rain or shine , the West View Band was always there doing its best. Their many interesting formations were always welcomed with gusto by all students. -70 ff V Some interesting highlights of West View's activity program this year were the assemblies and the pep rallies. The band took an active part in almost every one of them. One ofthe highlights ofthe band year was the Millvale and West View Combined Band Con- cert, which was held the first of March. Sev- eral of the numbers were directed by Mr. Moses, leader of the Millvale band. The concert reached its peak when the band played One O'Clock Jump, strictly on the solid sidel This group has become a tradition here at West View. ln our hearts and in our minds, our West View Band will always linger.

Many times this year, while we were trying very hard to concentrate on our work in class, but never quite succeeding, we heard the strains of beautiful music such as The Man I Love and Beautiful Lady . This was the West View High School Orchestra patiently practicing. The in- dividual work was excellent, but the combined instruments produced a superb orchestra. ln those old days, orchestras were a wel- comed opportunity for relaxation at the end of a long hot day in the fields. lt gave the young- sters a chance to express their talents in the so called two-men orchestra. Just as these early Americans organized to provide entertainment for their friends, so have some of West View's students ioined the orchestra to provide whole- some entertainment. The orchestra is composed of thirty-five selected students who are musicallyl minded and who can play their instruments well. The chief duty of the orchestra is to pro- vide music at assemblies, plays, and numerous other events. ln our memories we will long cherish The Paramount Overture , which the orchestra played so beautifully at the Senior Play of 1945. As the year progressed, the or- chestra became more active. At Baccalaureate and Class Day they displayed their talent, as Commencement Days drew near the orchestra continually practiced the traditional Pomp and Circumstance . Here at West View, the orchestra provides the experience to the members who wish to con- tinue their musical career. Playing at public places enables the music students to get used to crowds and aids them in overcoming that heartbreaking enemy, stage fright. The new music director, Mr. Caruso, with his hard work and skill, was able to make our orchestra one of the best. We are proud of our orchestra and the fine work it is doing. West View can boast of hav- ing a versatile group of musicians. The Class of 1946 extends its thanks to one of the best orchestras we have ever had. Westvian - 73 QAQQPLQCJQP5 2nd Row: J. Spatz, M.

Twelve brilliantly sweatered girls knelt on the cold, damp earth of the West View High School football field and cheered lustily. lt was the next to the last game of the season, and our husky football eleven were struggling with Crofton, one of the toughest teams we had ever fought. The game unfortunately, was lost after a hard and good fight, but the spirit of West View had hit a really high peak. Most of this is due to the efforts of our cheerleaders. With Gayle Korneke at their head, they have en- couraged the rooters of the school and endowed their up-and-coming girls with this spirit. The spirit that not so many years ago urged the pion- eers of our country on to greater triumphs. Our ancestors were up against tough obstacles, iust as our football team has been. We have reason to be proud of our team and our cheerleaders, iust as we are proud of those long-ago pioneers. Attendance of the cheerleaders has been one hundred percent nearly all through the year. They have rallied our teams when they were defeated, and cheered them when they won. When football and basketball seasons were over, the cheerleaders devoted themselves to training the girls who were to take their places the next year. For many weeks the auditorium rang with cries of the girls who practiced faith- fully. Next season, Miss Aiken, the sponsor of the cheerleaders, says the girls will be lust as good as the ones we all knew this year. The most important things they need now are new uniforms. The cheerleaders back West View whole-heartedly, now let us back them in their drive for new uniforms. Westvian - 74 M060 CM 2nd Row: Miss Alcott fSponsorl, R. Moore, J. Bond, W. Gardill, R.

Can you imagine what your life would be without it-no correct time by Bulova and no front seat at the opera? Can you imagine the present era and your future with the dawn of television and radar and the many new ways of living they will bring? Then in contrast can you imagine the early Daniel Boones who relied on smoke signals and their own sharp wits and ears? West View does a bit of pioneering on its own these days through the radio club. Thanks to Marconi's wireless endeavors the fourteen boys who meet every morning during activity period in room 201 have a common interest in the in's and out's of the radio world. Primarily they have lessons on theory of radio including Ohm's Law and radio circuits. These boys build and try out amplifiers, bell cir- cuits, and transmitters. They have code prac- tice and also repair and operate the electrical Wostvian control board in room 201. Many of the club's members are doing excellent work in repairing radios and testing tubes. The aim of its members is to attain their Radio Amateur or Ham license. They also are establishing for themselves a scientific back- ground in this undeveloped field of advance- ment. This year the boys entered the Junior Sci- ence Fair at the Buhl Planetarium, and some en- tered the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. Bob Horsch presented us with an achievement of which we can be proud. He was awarded the first scholarship ever given in our school. The Federal Laboratories have donated much of the necessary equipment with which the boys work. This includes wire, volume controls, relays, and condensers, all of which are avail- able for constructive use by all boys. The sponsor of this organization is Miss Alcott, and their president and only officer is Chuck McMillen. -75 sg dence CM 2nd Row: J. McCartney, C. Johnson, W. Gibson, C. Crispens, M. Brenneis, W. Schane lst Row: Miss Alcott, E. Schaal, S. White, C. Robertson Member not in picture: R. Zimmers The early American school children had a very limited curriculum which included reading, writing, and mental arithmetic. However, as the years progressed, science entered into this curriculum. Beniamin Franklin and his scientific advancements stand out as a welcoming beacon to all science students to come into the yet young field and explore. Science-what is science? Well, Webster defined it as a systemized knowledge of any one department of mind or matter. West View feels that it contributes to the advance of science and the scientific spirit with one of our more progres- sive and educational clubs, the Science Club. The main purpose of the club is to expand the knowledge of science and to give the stu- dents an opportunity to do extra work in all fields of science. It also offers the students a chance to develop their own ideas under the careful and capable leadership of their sponsor, Miss Alcott. This group is affiliated with one of seven thousand Science Clubs of America. Their activities include field trips and par- ticipation in the Science Fair presented at the Buhl Planetarium, they also sponsor the Westing- house Science Talent Search for Seniors. Many of the seniors from West View have achieved recognition and awards in this talent search. Bob Horsch took part in the contests held over the radio to determine an outstanding person who is then eligible for a Westinghouse scholar- ship. The club meets once a week at the close of school Thursday. One week there is an inter- esting and educational program presented by one of the members or a group of members, the next week is then a work period. The students really try their best to produce an outstanding piece of work. The officers include William Schane, Presi- dent, Suzanne White, Secretary, and Jim Mc- Cartney, Treasurer. We are proud to offer such a club to the students of West View High School. Westvian - 76 go Ogg 3rd Row: D. Eberle, P. Boyd, B. Bailey, H. Gerren, R. Reif, E. Schaal, B. Gottschalk 2nd Row: L.

Schultheis The Biology Club was a new movement in science activities at West View. Having found that their biology class limited their science activ- ities, some of the students organized with Miss Allen to form a club to provide an opportunity to work on special proiects and receive special instructions. Here, at their meeting every Tues- day, the members are experimenting, proving, learning, and contributing to science. When the club organized, they found the best way to accomplish their purpose was to work individ- ually because the fields of interest varied so greatly. Some of the meetings, however, were de- voted to discussion of field trips. They planned trips to the Riverview Conservatory, the Mellon Institute, and the taxidermy work-room at the Carnegie Museum. The first trip to the Con- servatory, was made one starry night in Octo- ber. All members found this iourney interesting Westvian and educational. Some of the students are especially interested in astronomy, and the lec- ture and observation of the heavens was per- haps the beginning of their future work in as- tronomy, a field in which so much can yet be done. One of the experiments that is being worked on is the proiect of developing a pure black strain of rats, a project which requires much patience and careful study and work. Cultivating a successful aquarium, learning the principles of taxidermy, and cultivating a chem- ical garden are still other problems which the students have attacked. Most of the science proiects require work out of class everyday, and we find some of the club members in 211 every evening after school. From doing such work as this, we might have our future doctors, nurses, chemists, and astron- omers leading us in tomorrow's world. E77 SPEECH CLUB 4th Row: K. Pfefter, N. LoSlavic, W. Gample, J.

Scheible Oratory played an important role in the early government of our country. Often good speaking ability swayed the populace. Good speech is the true basis of culture and education and from speech training, persever- ance and years of effort many of our speech students may emerge as leaders in various fields of American accomplishments. This year one of the principal obiectives of the Speech Club, was to increase the enthusiasm not only in the Senior High but the Junior High as well. The term of 1945-46 proved to be a banner year for the Junior High membership. Our hats off to the tireless efforts of the coach Miss Morris. I West View's Speech Club chapter of the Na- tional Forensic League proudly displays numer- ous gold trophies and plaques in our library. Among the past winners were: Richard Spatz winner of Oratorical Declamation and Extempor- aneousg William Perlik, winner of Original Ora- tion, Jeanine Spatz, Dramatic Declamation, Wil- liam Hasek, Original Oration, and Richard Mar- gerum, Oratorical Declamation. The District Tournaments are held annually at the Carnegie I Westvian Tech speech finals. Schools from all parts of Western Pennsylvania participate in these con- tests. West View has also been active in Debate and Student Congress. Our Varsity Team was expected to win the Debate Trophy this year, but this was denied them.

Clark You turn the light! l'll push this prop up! Man that spot! Put that back drop up six inches. These are only a few of the shouts heard from our never tiring stage crew. These boys may be seen making a casket for a pep rally or painting the walls of a prop for the class play. These and many other duties make up the work of the stage crew. In the earliest of high school stage presen- tations, stage crews were composed of possibly a single prop-man. Today our high school stu- dents gain valuable experience in the behind- the-scene stage work so necessary to any pro- gram. New ideas and methods of doing things are worked out and we feel that high school dramatics are now the kindergarten of the dra- matic profession. Always on the iob, the stage crew is ready and willing to do all they can at all times. Their work is appreciated by only those who actually work or have some contact with them. Their job is doubly hard since they must not only set the scenes for plays but they must always clean up after the sessions since the stage is also used as a gym floor. Making up the Big Four in the stage crew are Will Vough, head manager, Bob Brown, Jim CSmokeyJ Brown, and Carl Hirth, also the in- dispensable lending hand of Herb Clark. Cer- tainly a vote of thanks goes to our Stage Crew. Westvian - 80 .ALJ Fatwa! 4th Row: R. Gass, R. Shaw, C. Gass, H. Phillips, W. Abt, J. Allison, J. Bond, E. Eyles, R. Gardill, J. Meister, F.

Affolder With a clamor of voices and a banging of doors, the 1945-46 school year began. ln the frontier days, the schools were very tiny, and there was no room for long halls, thus our an- cestors had no problem of keeping the hall traf- fic moving at a steady pace. - But, at West View, within a week it be- came evident that there was a need for the vig- lantes of the student body. And so, with a group of veteran members and Miss Alcott as sponsor, the Hall Patrol swung into action. In- side ofa few days, the traffic in the halls was on its way to becoming the orderly throngs of pre- vious days. The close of Student Council elections saw Dave Kaiser, an up and coming junior, as Secre- tary of Traffic. The Traffic Committee was then appointed. It consisted of: Dave Kaiser, Chuck McMillen, John Henry, and Bob Schellhaas, it stood ready at all times in the event of the need for the judi- cial powers of the Traffic Court. Dave, Miss Alcott and the Committee then drew up a code of rules, incorporating some of last year's regulations, which were to be ob- served by the students. One of the chief problems confronting the members of the Squad was the lunch-time rush. However, with the cooperation of faculty and students, the number of casualties rapidly dim- inished and reasonable order prevailed. Now, the time has come when the red and gold armbands are to be rested 'til the begin- ning of another school year. The Hall Patrol has chalked up another creditable record. The members and sponsor of the Hall Patrol deserve a vote of thanks and appreciation for their ser- vices to the school in the past year. They have given you students a sounder basis for better citizenship and understanding of the need for cooperation in your future life. Westvian - 8l gnu ing 2nd Row: Mr. Clutter, W. Smolinske, B.

Ford The lights are bright, the sound of rolling balls thunclers in our ears, and the iingle of nickels in the coke machine all add to the cheer- ful atmosphere of the bowling room. Down the alley goes the ball-the good bowlers, or shall we say the most fortunate ones, get a strike on the first ball-but then there are the beginners and their never a strike, spare, or hit balls. All in all, everyone has a good time when the bowling places are open. In the frontier days, bowling was never even heard of or thought about-so we are very lucky to have such a pleasant form of entertainment. Bowling has caused a great change in the sport schedule of West View. It has brought about the organization of a bowling club. This is the newest addition to our long string of sports. lt was organized by a group of young fellows who were very interested in the sport. The team is under the able sponsorship of Mr. Clut- ter, who is quite good in this sport and was coach of the baseball team last year. Because this team is new, they are working hard to keep it running and to set a good record for the follow- ing years. lt was quite hard to get fellows for the team, since it was new and different. Fin- ally, however, the team was ready for action and action it got! The season got OH to a poor start with a loss suffered from The Colonial Team. After this it was a rough and tough battle all the way. At the beginning of the season there were few spectators, but as the year went on and the games became more exciting, they began to increase until there was room for no more. Bowling has to keep up its good record. Westvian - 82 XQJW ZZ... CM 4th Row: R. Schellhaas, R. Foster, M. Carettie, B. Henke, A. Eyles, F. Kennedy, L. Dubaich, I. Becker, M. Madden, R.

A day was not complete in the good old days without spending a few hours at the old swimming hole, and a group of students had the same idea when they organized the Polar Bear Club. The Polar Bear Club was organized in De- cember of 1945 to satisfy the desires of those who like to swim. Don't let the name fool you, they do not go swimming in the ice-filled lakes. But every Friday night they go to some inside pool. The only qualifications that are necessary for membership are, one must be either a iunior or senior and, of course, be able to swim, not well, but iust a little. And we must not forget the little matter of initiation before becoming a member. The Polar Bear Club, though iust organized this year, boasts a membership of fifty-six stu- dents, and more swimmers are joining. It's just a 'Fellow going in for a Westvian Every club needs officers and the Polar Bear Club is no exception. The president is Beverly McElroy. They need two Vice Presidents: the first is Ivan Berry and the second is Wayne, Brumm. Their secretary is Joan Kallenbach, and their treasurer is Nick LaSlavic. We must not forget the sponsors who are Mr. Puchta and Mr. Caruso. The Polar Bear's meeting place is the Y. M. C. A. on Herron Hill. There is usually dancing to some swooning music before the dip. But the best time is had when the bears splash into the pool, paddle the canoe, or manipulate the duck feet. Exhausted, but happy the group start their homeward journey. The Polar Bear Club members hope that the students interested in swimming will keep the club in existence until West View High has its own swimming pool. -83 nl' Qilgflfgif 5th Row: B. Gottschalk, M.

Under the competent leadership of Miss Kiedaisch and Miss Blasek, a very interesting program was car- ried out for the 1945-46 term. They began this year with a very impres- sive and solemn ceremony in which the new girls were initiated into the club. The girls then fully realized how wonderful it was to be an official member of the Girl Reserves. The election of officers was then held. Patricia Madden was elected president, Peggy Skinner, vice-president, Betty Appel, secretary, and Betty Helfrich, treasurer. This year the Girl Reserves have caught the eye of West View students by their many out- standing activities. We all will remember the raffles-in November, the Turkey Raffle, in Feb- ruary, two beautiful sweaters were prizes in the Sweater Raffle. Both raffies were huge suc- CeSSeS. A. Weiss louzil, E.

A skating party in January gave an infor mal evening of fun to everyone who attended The many delightful tea-dances were well at tended throughout the year. The big G. R. event of the year was the Senior Breakfast held in May. This event has become a tradition and one that begins the run of social events for the seniors. The Girl Re- serves found it a lot of fun to play hostess to the senior class even though they had to arise early in the morning in order to have every little detail finished to perfection. The Girl Reserves have now planned a pro gram to have more of its members take part in the activities. The new season should bring further work in welfare which will include visits to orphanages. It was a successful and profitable year for the Girl Reserves of West View.

To anyone in doubt, the full title is Girls Athletic Association. When our western lands were being opened, our great grandparents saw the need for sports and games, not only to build healthy bodies, but also to build character. The G. A. A. strives to build healthy bodies and sportsman- ship in the girls of the present day. The G. A. A. is divided into two parts-the senior high and the iunior high. On Tuesday evenings after school, the senior high girls en- gage in volley ball, basketball, or mushball, depending upon the season, and on Friday the iunior high girls duplicate the program of the older girls. This year some women on the faculty became interested in sports, and volley ball was played on December third for the benefit of the boys hurt in football. Because of the excellent training of Miss Elizabeth Aiken, the sponsor of the club, the girls won the game. The points mentioned above are very im- portant to the girls. One is given for playing, one-half for winning, and one-half for a shower after the game. The points are kept and tabu- lated for each three years. When a girl has re- ceived forty points she is rewarded with a rose and gold letter to wear on her sweater or jacket. When she has one hundred she is given a small pin to wear. These letters and pins are a result of a great deal of work and are worn with pride by any member winning one. The officers are: President .........

These and many similar queries confront the student librarian, but even with these difficulties they have strived to please us. West View High School can be proud of their library. Due to the efforts of the student librarians, and their chiefs, we have one of the neatest, cleanest, and best organized libraries in Western Pennsylvania. You will always find the books and magazines neatly in place so that they can easily be secured when needed for ref- erence. They have also found a simple system to borrow books with little difficulty. This year, under the combined leadership of the Misses Helen Rea, and Virginia Delp, the Westvian library club has introduced many new improve- ments to the students of West View. Among these were the attractive new bulletin boards installed in the library in February. One of the most interesting of their activities was the assem- bly which they gave. A comedy play entitled Seven to One was on the program, and the club's president, Dena Dietrich, gave one of the funniest readings of the year. The reading en- titled Trials of a Library Assistant was written by Miss Delp, Assistant Head Librarian. The combination of Delp and Dietrich was really a successful one. These girls and their leaders have done a miraculous iob and we are thankful to them all. Just as the pioneers of old overcame their trials and tribulations by surging on, these young members strive on to serve us. -86 iff 'S , www an an Afkkffw Wosivian . , . utter, J. Youden, P.

Leetsdale scored first, but not to be outdone, the Indians fought back and Fullerton threw a long pass to McGrew for the score. To the disappointment of the rose and gold followers the extra point was missed. Leetsdale held out to win 7-6. WEST VIEW-ALLEGHENY On September 'l4, the Indians were out for revenge because of the loss the week before. Just as the teams trotted onto the field, it began to rain and it steadily in- creased as Allegheny scored two touchdowns in the first half. In the second and third quarters, the Indians got hot and sent Fullerton over for two touchdowns. The extra points were missed. However, even in defeat the Indians were the only team that scored on the Section I City Champions. Allegheny I3-West View I2. WEST VI EW-WEST BETH LEHEM On a crisp autumn day near Washington, Pa., the Indians tackled a smaller West Bethlehem eleven and ran roughshod all over the field, crashing over for three touchdowns made by Fullerton and Stahl. Kivlan plunged over for an extra point and West View came out on top I9-O. WEST VIEW--MARS The Indians met the man from Mars in the first league game and after a mudsplashed struggle, Mars pushed over for a touchdown. The Indians fought back hard but could not break through. Except for the second quarter the game was a stalemated affair. Mars hung on to win 6-0. Westvian - 94 8665011 WEST VIEW-BELLEVUE The Indians met their age-old rival at Bellevue in the game that was responsible for the change in quar- terbacks when Kivlan was injured and the reorganiza- tion of the Sigma Phi Sigma. Bellevue, with a line and backfield heavier than the Indians, powered their way to six touchdowns, four of which were on Indian fumbles or pass interceptions. The team tried gamely to keep on fighting and gave a good account of itself. But the final score was Bellevue 39, West View 0. WEST VIEW-AVONWORTH A grueling struggle took place on the athletic field as the visitors from Avonworth met the Indians. The game moved back and forth with long passes thrown by both sides being knocked down at the last possible second. Line charges resulted in little or no gain. The Indians threatened once but were turned back. The game ended in a deadlock. Avonworth O, West View O. WEST VIEW-SHALER On October 19, Shaler played host to the Indians in our only night game. The Indians caught tire and with Fullerton throwing passes and Stahl and Lebo do- ing the running, they exploded four touchdowns. The line charged hard and fast and completely overwhelmed the Huskies. Every player was a standout as the Indians played their best game of the year. A long run scored for Shaler but the Indians marched off victorious 24-6. WEST VIEW-BRENTWOOD The next week, Brentwood came to town and with a fast team beat the weakened Indians. Outweighed, but not outfought, the Red-men tried to stop the power and passing plays of the visitors, but they pushed over three touchdowns to down the Indians, 'I9-0. Westvian - 95 WEST VI EW-CRAFTON The next game brought Crafton to town and the power and speed of the visitors overwhelmed the In- dians. The running plays were almost perfectly exe- cuted and Crafton pushed over five touchdowns, four by running and one on passing. The Indians could not score and lost 33-O. WEST VI EW-AVALON On the dull rainy day of November 9th, much re- sembling the day of the Allegheny game, the Seniors played their last game which resembled a swimming meet. Avalon drove toward the Indians but were twice stopped short by the tough Indian line. They 'Fought on to score. Between their scores, however, the Indians drove down to the goal line only to be denied a score. The hard charging of the line blocked the Avalon kick and Avalon downed it in the end zone for our safety. Final results-Avalon l4, West View 2. Westvicn -- 96 R. Luebbe, E. Eyles, J. Meister, I.

The football season passed, the pigskin yard markers and stretcher were laid away in moth balls, and many of West View's athletes looked toward basketball. The Indians started their basketball season this year with a smashing victory as they rolled on to their destination. Millvale was the big attraction, our hoopsters had a hard time, but they came out on top. This was the first year Coach Martorelli led the Indians, and he did a very good iob. Through his untiring efforts West View, this year, had one of the best basketball teams we have ever had. Looking over the team we see that there are three holdovers from lost year. First there is Rudy Mion, this year's captain and our foul shot artist-next, there's Ed Eyles, a guard and an expert one hand push shot artist-the other holdover is Slim Murray, a forward and an underhand shot. The other guard position was filled by Jack Fullerton. Lloyd Murray, Bob Fleming, and Red McGIaughIin were alternated in the other position. The other utility men were Glen Beynon, Bert Phillippi, Johnny Meister, George Fletcher, Jack Kort, and Roger Cain. Showing up in the games this season were the same com- petitive spirit and inherent sense of fair play that always dis- tinguish a West View team. As long as that spirit was there the boys were able to come through with flying colors. Always the colors, Rose and Gold flashed on the basketball court, as the Indian netters heId their own. So, as the bright suits were stored away for another year, there went with them the mem- ories of West View's most victorious basketball season on record.

Schomburger The Junior Varsity experienced one of the best seasons of basketball any junior varsity has ever had. ln fact, the West View Junior Varsity was the best one in the league. West View was proud to have such a winning junior group this year. The stars of tomorrow must come from these fellows. If they keep going at such a steady pace as they did this year, West View will have some excellent basketball stars in the years to come. Ed Fullerton took the place of an anti-aircraft battery under our heavily bombarded basket because of his size and ability to out- reach most of his opponents. Also, tall and lanky Hoot Gibson could almost drop the ball into the basket without even reaching. Glenn Beynon proved he had what it takes, for he was picked as an alternate for the Senior Varsity. Roger Cain and George Fletcher were clever ball handlers. Warren Schomberger with his high speed and accuracy dashed around raising the score. The six boys worked together to set their high record. The Junior Varsity proved itself to be a well-trained and conditioned outfit due to the splendid guidance of Coach Martor- elli. That certain something, namely spirit, was always there. With this kind of steady spirit and quick thinking, the West View team should always come out on top. So-to our stars of to- morrow we say, Hats off to a really swell group of fellows who were always in there putting West View on top! Westvian - 99 SEASON RECORD W. V. H.

Clogan West View welcomed back its old wrestling coach, Mr. Reed, after two year's service in the Navy. Mr. Reed is recognized as one of the finest wrestling coaches in Pennsylvania, and his return was just in time for the T946 wrest- ling season. Although few experienced grapplers greeted our returning coach, within two weeks a team was ready for the first match. Ham- pered by inexperience, the grunt and groan artists got off to a slow start, but soon showed signs of improvement until the first match with our back-yard rival, Millvale, when they broke into the win column. lniuries played havoc with the team and only one more match ended in victory for the Indians. This was again at Millvale. Two heartbreaking one point losses to Shadyside were highlights of the season. The boys made good showings against powerful teams from Greensburg, Carnegie and Char- tiers. Chuck McMillen, our heavyweight, came through the season with a nearly perfect record, having lost to only one man lwho, by the way, was state championi in the regular season. With o little luck, Chuck would be sporting a gold medal on his manly chest. At the end of the season, a tournament is held by Waynesburg College to decide the cham- pions in each weight class. To win a champion- ship at this tournament is the crowning achieve- ment of a season of hard work. Although West View entered a full team this year, Chuck was the only man to reach the semi-tinals. The finals of the tournament are most colorful, so the de- feated Rose and Gold gladiators spent this part on the sidelines, as spectators. Nineteen hun- dred and forty-six was the first year since wrest- ling began that West View has toiled to carry through a champion at Waynesburg. Westvian - T00 The chances of again hitting our winning stride next year looked very good because of the experience gained this year, but once again Uncle Sam beckoned to Mr. Reed who left us to take a position in the Veterans Administration. ln spite of our poor record, the team worked hard to gain the needed experience and very much enioyed themselves making the bus trips to 'away' matches. All in all, the sea- son was anything but wasted. Mr. James Reed THE 1946 WRESTLING SEASON THE TEAM SEASON RECORD Class Wrestler West View Opponent 88 lbs. ..,.. ,. Clogan 2 JeFferson 13 95 TBS.

Gass, Mr. Tiffany A murmur of voices, then-as the golfer puts the ball on the tee-silence. He aims, swings once, twice, and then, crack! Straining their eyes in the sun, the spectators watch the small, white-ball as it completes its arc and descends. The ball rolls toward the cup as if guided by some inner mechanism, and it drops out of sight. Last year's golf team really felt the pinch of wartime re- strictions. Because of travel conditions, Avonworth was forced to discontinue league play and as a result of their action, only Ambridge and Sewickley remained in the section in addition to the Indian linksmen. Our boys made a fine showing in league competition, trouncing Sewiclcley twice, defeating Ambridge once, and also losing the return match with Ambridge. At the end of the regular division play it was found that both West View and Ambridge were tied for the lead, both with records of 3 wins and I loss. This situation necessitated a playoff which would decide the winner in the section. The Indian matchmaker tried gamely, but Ambridge came thru with a victory and the section crown. Two non-league matches were played with Shadyside Academy, in which a win and a loss were recorded for the West Wiew golfers. All in all, the season was quite suc- cessful. The prospects for this season's squad were particularly en- couraging, since three members of last year's squad remained as holdovers. Bob Reilly, Bob Warren, and Jack Roy played consistently last spring and they are ready to fill in on this year's squad. With these and many new recruits, Mr. Tiffany is looking forward to another successful season.

Miller With the drying of the ground in the early spring comes the sharp crack of bat against ball as the baseball season gets under way. The swiftly flying white sphere which proclaims the open- ing game of the baseball season was a welcome sight to the baseball-minded boys. Of course, it all began with the blitz- krieg when the mighty team start their training period of con- ditioning and sore muscles. They exercise until, by the end of this period, they literally limp along the streets of West View awaiting their first game. At Baldwin, the team enjoyed one of its best games of the season. Last year's season, the hitting was heavy and the field- ing excellent. The regulars hammered the ball to all corners of the field and made sensational fielding plays. There were gap- ing holes in the infield when Ralph Betcher, Dave Kuhlber, Huck Reel, Harry Boyle, and Jack Miller graduated. The battery combination of Miller and Boyle was hard to surpass this year, but we looked forward to a better season. The substitutes who last year proved themselves reliable were out to snatch first string places this season, a new and inexperienced pitching staff proved themselves reliable. Veterans from last year who were back this year in their old positions were the outfielders, Ed Eyles, who made spectacular catches in the left field, Paul Stahl, who was hard-hitting and famous for his shoe- string somersault catches, and long-hitting Ed Mantick, who re- lieved the pitchers when necessary. The other veteran was Johnny Kuss, famous for his double plays around second base. Also, 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. With their enthusiasm and spirit West View charged hard in baseball.

Blaha The Varsity Club was organized in 1940 and consists of the boys who have obtained let- ters in baseball, football, wrestling, basketball, and golf. lt is sponsored by the school. By participation in one of the school sports and playing half the total number of contests, a player is eligible for membership in the club. At the very first meeting of the club they elected their oFticers who are: President . . . Paul Stahl Vice President , Jack Roy Secretary . ,.,. ,. . Ed Eyles The initiation of new members is also a tra- dition in school. lt occurs once a year, and that is right after football season. The fellows have to come to school dressed in a white shirt, with a huge artificial flower dripping with perfume, their hair parted in the middle, and they are not allowed to talk to girls or have dates with them during this time, which is one whole week. lm- agine, it you can, having to wear a white shirt all week without being able to wash it. At the end of this week everybody's name from Al to Zoe is written on it. They also have to wear a raincoat, boots, and carry an umbrella, no matter what the weather may be outside. Then, too, they must squat everytime they see an old member and obey their commands or else . . . To top oFF this initiation, at the close ofthe week the old members plan a thrill-packed evening for the new members. lf they survive this they are heartily accepted into the club. Westvian - 104 This year the club had a new sponsor, Mr. Martorelli the school coach. From the very be- ginning he had the confidence and cooperation of the boys, and the club was sure to succeed under h.s capable direction. Mr. Mario Mariorelli ecwem 0!

These remarks and many more echoed in West View's auditor- ium during an assembly last December. Who made these remarks? Why, our own West View students. At an assembly, West View was hon- ored to have Dr. D. K. Ernst, a hypnotist, pre- sent us with some entertainment. At the begin- ning of the assembly, Dr. Ernst lectured to the students upon the fact that everything you do in your life is recorded in the cells of the brain. These acts which are recorded in the cells are revealed by the sub-conscious mind. This, we were told, is the basis of hypnotism. We were also warned that the success of the assembly depended upon the students. Mr. D. K, Ernst Westvian What's happening? Is there a fire? Where's everybody going? Please don't get excited. lt's only the West View students coming through again with flying colors. For in a few minutes after Dr. Ernst asked for volunteers for his hyp- notic program, there was an over abundant supply on the stage ready to become his victims. In mass hypnotism a certain percentage is always successfully hypnotized. After a good percentage of our group was hpynotized, the remainder of the assembly proved to be one of unforgettable fun. One of our seniors, Bob Bayer, was made to believe he was in Chicago speaking to a riational convention on why they should buy his dependable mouse traps fwhich were only paper cupsl. Helen Sanford will be remembered for the description of Christmas when only five years old. Meda Kaesmeier did a wonderful iob of nursing, supposedly eight years from now. ln a return engagement Jim Kummer will be remembered for his fine selec- tions of meat. Ken West did a fine job of de- fending his client in court. Many others will never be forgotten in the things they did. The clock ticked on, the minutes flew by finally, two and one half hours passed. The students wanted more, but time was limited and so the curtains were drawn on one of the most enioy- able memories of the year. -111 The regular Saturday dances always attract a large crowd of West View students. Intermission always sends swarms of dancers to the Snack Bar to nourisl' themselves for the rest of the evening. The Parent Teacher's Association can be proud of this most worthy proiect. Westvian Sm! sz., Gosh, l'm hot-let's get a bottle of coke . . . . Oooh, I love that song . . . . Come on, let's dance! . . . These and other such remarks are heard every Saturday night at West View High School. You say you want to dance--you say you want to meet some friends-well, then, Shuffle Shop is the place for you. These Satur- day night dances attract students by the dozens. Let's take the jump from the literary world into the actual world and go to the dance. 0. K. ??? As we enter the door on the Perry Highway side of the building, we see some en- ergetic members registering and checking the names of the arrivals. Since we are already registered, we iust give our name and go into the coat room. Many coats are already piled high on the tables, so we lay ours on the top. We wander out into the hall again and stop to see what the refreshment stand holds for tonight -ummm, good!! After saying hi to scads of pals, we wiggle our way through the crowd, pay our admission fee, and wander past the ping pong room, up the stairs, and onto the dance floor. The orchestra is blaring, and the lights are dimmed, we can see a crowd of friends, so over we go to say hello . Many people are dancing, and before we can collect our thoughts, we are part of the happy crowd and dancing ourselves. Soon the familiar strains of the theme song are heard, so out we go to get our coats. Gee, didn't we have fun!! The Shuffle Shop has won the hearts of West View students! May it always continue to be the big success that it is now! The Shuffie Shop Dances are sponsored by the Parent Teachers Association with Mr. Frank De Maria as the chairman. The student com- mittee is composed of the following people: Wayne Brumm, lrene Becker, Marie Aland, Dor- othy Aippersbach, Rudy Arn, Burton Dickenson, Walter Fire, Lois Gallwits, Barbara Hamburg, Midge Hamburg, Shirley Lawerence, Charles McMillen, Bill Maloney, Johnny Meister, Janet Ramming, Bill Ritchey, Bob Shaw, Mary Smith, Ruth Stark, Edith Watson, Sam Yokabaites, Bill Cummings, Karl Pfetter, Charles Walton. -112 gg-.1 A 5 'Ya WEST vssw H SWFSS, , i X km 5 ,, QA f Tift: ' M -:W Ji , V , - 'gy L Q v wg.: ' k A -7 4 s 4 - 4, QM., vw ' , .if 5?
