' gi 4 ff vm. 4 f as F OREWGRD URING our last year at West View, we seniors have been very much aware of the serious condition of this troubled world, of the possibility of atomic Warfare, and what it will mean to us after we have graduated. We know, however, that all of our lives won't be this somber and we like to think that much of the time we will be happy and really enjoy living. Laughing and enjoying yourself is a very important part of living just as the cir- cus is an important day in any child's life. Thus we have chosen it as our theme and we have invented a little man to clown his way through our sports and activities. We ask you to travel the sawdust trail of boyhood and girl- hood with us as we review the acts of daring and adventure in our Big Top. Get your peanuts and popcorn and step inside to see the greatest show on earth. 5 in s M Y J E?3S2riSLx2i.f,f,4, L,:f.:22:'.L 'MZ xN.1.2w'.EfE.ZKi1-k,.2f :6 v.f.1CJA'f2.sif'Bf.

Among your number are students outstanding in academic achievement, in athletics, in music, in speech. Many have furnished the leadership for class and club activities. And then there are those who have made up the group of hard working, loyal, and intelligent followers. Your class is made up of students from ten different school districts. We regret that some of you, because of living at a distance, have not had the time to be as active in high school as you and we would have liked. We have learned to live and work together with our neighbors. No one district has had a monopoly on the honors. Mr. W. Robert Paynter Assoc. Supervising Principal Dr. R. S. Rice Supervising Principal It is our hope that as you people leave these halls to enter broader fields of learn- ing and living that you will continue to apply the lessons of good citizenship which you have learned here. You will come in contact with all sorts of people. You will find that others differ with you in religious faith, po- litical convictions, ambitions, likes and dislikes, color, creed, sense of values and every other way imaginable. To keep America great, all must learn to live and work together in peace and harmony. May the graduates of the Class of 1949 of West View High School strengthen this American tradition and add immensely to its possibilities. Our blessings go with you. R. S. Rice W. R. Paynter Robcrf F. Jordan High School Principal 7 I ZAY l have your attention for the announcements, pleaiefn are Mr. Jordan's most familiar words. But reading' the an- nouncements is the least of his worries, for as principal he supervises the co-ordination of all learning and activities in the high school. When he assumed his duties as principal in 1945, he xvasn't new to West View students, as he had been one of our commercial teachers from 1938 until 1941. Scheduling classes, working out personnel problems, and supervising all activities are part of his job of keeping West View among the highest rated schools in western Pennsyl- vania. A student is expected to improve both socially and scholastically during his high school years, and Mr. Jordan, with his under- standing guidance, has helped us to do just this.

McKain, H. H. Heer, R. D. Russell, J. King. Q OOPERATIVE operation of the schools between Ross Township and West View Bor- ough has been considered for some time. The great influx of students in this area and the action of the Pennsylvania Legislature in encouraging such a program brought matters to a head. West View having a high school, was faced with the need to plan a future designed to guarantee an enrollment sufficient to maintain good educational standards. Ross Township needed high school facili- ties. It seemed only natural that these two districts should pool their resources for the joint operation of schools. Under the present agreement, each district con- tinues to hold its own indebtedness. Operating costs are shared on a per-pupil basis. Articles of Agreement providing for the joint operation of all the schools of the two districts were adopted by the boards on June 14, 1948. The organi- zation meeting was called for July 6, 1948 when the following ofncers were elected: Mr. Edward C. Wer- ner, presidentg Mr. James S. McKain, vice president, Mr. Harry G. Canning, secretaryg Mrs. Esther S. Hopf, associate secretary. Dr. R. S. Rice was elected as Supervising Princi- pal, Mr. W. Robert Paynter as Associate Supervising Principal, and Miss Edith A. Waddell as Assistant Supervising Principal. Dr. Rice is concerning himself chiefly with those functions known as administrative and which involve purchasing, maintenance, custo- dian help, and budgetary control. Mr. Paynter is to be concerned primarily with the instructional pro- gram which includes the educational offerings, ma- terials, equipment, and the quality and type of in- struction. Miss Waddell is acting as elementary su- pervisor to promote a program of co-ordinating in- structional services in the eight elementary buildings. The two boards meet jointly each month and conduct the business of the two districts as though they were one large district. Each district contributes its share to the joint treasury. Policies are deter- mined, payments approved, teachers and other per- sonnel hired, salaries set, and other regular business conducted. A complete program co-ordinating, devel- oping, and improving activities from kindergarten through high school and involving all ten buildings is of paramount importance. It is hoped by all that through these joint efforts West View High School will occupy an even higher position both in academic standing and in activities among the high schools not only in this area but in the state. The Board of Education is pledged to this high aim. Siiiing-L. Miller, S. Schultheis, M. Kaesmeier, D. Wolf, B. Vargo. Standing-I. Hauer, E. Paul, Mr. Puchta, D. Craig, D. Craig, H. Foster, B. McCartney. 'J fN INCE Mr. Puchta, our financial advisor, said that we were a poverty-stricken senior class, we called our senior activity the Poverty Party! This was in answer to the hundreds of questions thrown at our hardwork- ing Senior Executive Council. The council is made up of the senior class officers-Harold Foster, president, Tom Erwin, vice-presidentg Meda Kaesmeier, secretary, and Daphne Wolf, treasurer-and the homeroom representatives, Lewetta Miller, Shirley Schultheis, Bill Mc- Cartney, Ernie Hauer, Edgar Paul, Betty Vargo, and Burt Dickenson. They keep the homerooms informed of the plans and prob- lems of the class. Their goal is to manage all of the senior affairs, report all complaints, and keep the council informed of senior desires. After planning the Poverty Party, the council settled such problems as ordering grad- uation announcements and name cards, facili- ties for the dinner dance, and collecting dues. A lot of responsibility is shouldered by the members of this organization. This item of col- lecting dues from these poverty-stricken seniors is one of the council's most difficult tasks. It seems that no matter when dues are collected it's always the wrong time, and each senior lacks that necessary item - money. The Executive Council is also responsible for dis- tributing tickets for the senior class play. It's up to the home room representative to give his home room a pep talk every day and make sure they get out and sell those tickets so there will be a full house when the play is presented. The council is indeed grateful for the ca- pable help of our sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Craig, who gave them very good advice on perplexing problems. The senior class is certainly indebted to the Executive Council for the fine job they have done in handling the affairs of the Class of '49. An unlimited amount of praise is deserved by these industrious Cabinet officers. They really have proved themselves worthy of main- taining their offices. West View's renowned orator, John Dodson, received the support of his fellow students and was elected president. He certainly managed his position well, as was evidenced by the ef- fective way he ran our assemblies and took over the weekly Student Council meetings. The vice-president, Robert McCartney, re- ceived little opportunity to exercise his author- ity since John was seldom absent. But when he did have a chance to direct the meeting he proved himself to be a competent executive. No one could have been more dependable or efficient than the secretary, Adeline Tartag- lione. She faith.fully attended every Council meeting to take the minutes, and during the week published a copy for every home room. Under the guidance of Dave Roy, Secretary of Activities, the magazine campaign was a huge success. Dave really worked up some en- thusiasm in the kids with his pep talks. About every six weeks students could be seen desperately trying to get their lockers straightened up before that fatal locker in- spection. Tom Erwin, Secretary of Sanitation, had the difficult task of these inspections. As Secretary of Traffic it was up to William McCartney to make sure there were no traffic jams between periods. Bill also made sure the entire hall patrol squad was on duty, and fre- quently replaced an absent member. The signature of Al Hilger, Secretary of Publicity, was required on all posters before they could be posted. Al also saw to it that all events received sufficient publicity and often appeared in skits publicizing a coming event. Audrey DeMaria, Secretary of Shuffle Shop, hired the best high school bands to play at these Saturday night dances held in the gym. Each week a door prize of a dollar was given to the lucky winner.

T COU CIL X UST as the world of today is in need of a successful governing body, so also is our school. Although the governments of the world have not proved satisfactory, the oppo- site holds true for the efficient Student Coun- cil of West View. The purpose and supreme motive of this group is to satisfy the complaints of the stu- dents and to better the school. Our council has always been noted for its numerous accom- plishments. The entire governing body includes the Cabinet Officers, who were elected in the spring of 1948 by a vote of the student body, and one representative chosen from each home- room. In case a member was unable to attend the meeting, an alternate was sent in his place. The important position of president was filled by the outstanding student leader, John Dod- son. Many problems were encountered and solved. As in previous years the Council spon- sored the magazine campaign which proved a marvelous success. The money raised in this campaign will be used to pay for a trophy case. The cafeteria was decorated at Christmas by Council membersg locker inspections were heldg traffic regulations, and entertaining assembly programs were all the work of the council. West View will be represented by one Junior Council Member as a convention in Cincin- nati this year. The Student Council and theirlable spon- sors Mrs. A. Hartmann and Mr. Metz have achieved a very profitable year and deserve much credit for their usual Well-done job. , J QQ-. Pix 4, if W 5 . ww 1,,.

Shepfer, Mr. Herman. THE WESTVIAN W-Work, Wisdom E -Eagerness, Earnestness S -Sincerity, Spirit T -Thought, Toil V -Vigilance, Vigor I -Integrity, Industriousness A -Ability, Accuracy N -Novelty, News These are some of the things put forth by the Westvian staff and some of the things for which they strove. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Herman and Mr. Puchta, the sponsors, and Nan Shep- fer, the Editor-in-Chief, ' , the staff has again turn- -gg ' ed out a yearbook which L every student is proud to claim as his own. . Since the very begin- ning of the school year ,R this organization has been on the job - writ- ing, rewriting, compos- ing, comparing, and finally turning out a most noteworthy project. After the hectic job of patron hunting was over, Tom Endie, our capable business mana- ger, breathed a sigh of relief. Tom was always seen at the games with a tin box in his hands, collecting money from his staff who were eith- er selling programs or working in the refresh- ment booths. The members of the Activities staff, under the supervision of Marian Sanders, were soon seen sticking their heads into different club meetings in the hope of gathering a few inter- esting points to report in their reviews. This staff had the grueling task of identifying the tiny faces of the students on the activity pictures. As the head of the Photography staff, Wal- ton Zieg had a big job right from the beginning when he began making arrangements for the senior pictures and scheduling activity pictures. Shirley Schultheis and the rest of her Art staff kept everyone guessing right up to the last minute as to what the theme of the year- Kneeling-W. Zieg, T. Ednie, D. Standing-Mr. Puchtcx, M. Resler, M. Scmders, S. Schultheis, L. Mill- book was to be. She had a hard time keeping all of her mysterious drawings together so that she could pore over them at her leisure, select the ones worthy for yearbook use, and put those aside which had to be improved upon. Trying to find out the interesting things about each and every senior was a hard job but Marilyn Resler and her Literary staff soon tackled the enormous job of Senior-write-ups. It was quite a problem to think of something to say for 250 seniors. Having an athlete as Sports Editor was in- deed an asset to the Westvian. Don Fisher and his staff put forth a great deal of time in order to have a sports section which would make the readers sit up and take notice. Perhaps credit for being one of the hardest working staffs of all should go to the Typing staff under the leadership of Lewetta Miller. This group worked long and hard in order to see that the material was turned out in time to get to the printers. When all of the different sections of the staff were well started in their work, the photog- rapher from Strems' came out to the school, and all of the clubs and activity groups were photographed. A little later, the senior pictures appeared on the scene. After all of the seniors decided on the pose they wanted, things really started rolling. Trimming and mounting all of those litttle squeegees was really a big job, but it was fun, too. When the engraving proofs were pasted in the dummy , it really began to look like a real book instead of just a plan. Right about this time, the senior class was asked to nominate and vote for their class- mates whom they considered to be outstanding. A little later another important election was held, but the outcome of this one was a very strictly kept secret. This election was, of course, for the Queen of May Day, sponsored by the yearbook. By this time most of the copy was in and the dummy was taken to the printers, but the job still wasn't over for the final copy had to be organized and everything had to be proof-read. When the long-awaited day came to distrib- ute the books, everyone who had worked on the staff was proud to say that he had his finger in the Westvian pie! First Row-Mr. Herman, M, Sanders, W.

That's a lie, why 1 broke up with him! Look, here's all about that! Yes, you can find just about everything in our favorite paper. Though it got off to a late start this year, no one can say that the West Wind was the worse for wear. Howard Mcllvried, Editor- in-Chief, proved capable of heading an all- female staff. The staff members showed themselves real live-wires by gathering the news and weekly gossip from all over. Behind each i s s u e there was careful plan- ning and a general cycle originates from this. Ar- ticles are written, check- ed by critical editors, re- written if not up to par, and every page is care- fully assembled. When the paper finally reaches the printer it is time to begin preparing for the next edition. A ....... .. Every student looked forward to the day when the West Wind was distributed, and the cafeteria doorway was usually jammed full of people, waiting for their chance to buy a copy. There were usually a few minor collisions, too, because the students were so engrossed in their reading that they didn't watch where they were going. That was all a part of the fun, though. The girls always turned to the Drool Dazen section first and the boys to the sports page, but that wasn't hard to explain! Much credit must go to Miss Delp because through her cleverness, the staff gave us an outstanding school paper that we shall always treasure. On the back page of the West Wind was the page for the junior high, called the West Zephyr. This is to give writing experience to the junior high people which will be valuable to the paper in future years. Miss Cigoi, the sponsor, and Janet Moore, the editor of the paper are to be commended for the fine job they have done.

With this in mind we shall tell you about West View's contributions to this subject. The purpose of the club is to provide active interscholastic participation in public speaking experiences for students. This public speaking experience has given the students confidence, poise, and excellent training. The club is com- posed of quite a large number of students. Marilyn Resler was re-elected to serve as I ' president of this active l club. She was assisted -S by Pat Alston, secre- taryg Chuck Jacobs, treasurer 5 and Bill Mc- Cartney, vice president. Miss Morris and Mr. Metz have again served well as the sponsors. 0 Q? .J O 2'+:.:1:.-:4 C, One of the most important activities of the Speech Club during the year was the pre- sentation of an assembly program. The student body was very appreciative of the program, for it certainly was an excellent one. Some of the members of the club gave examples of the different fields in speech work: dramatic, hu- morous, oratorical declamation, extemporan- eous, and original oration. This was done to interest the student body in the work of the Speech Club. Another activity of this club was the Annual Banquet held at the end of the year. At this party, the new members were initiated into the club. By belonging to the Speech Club, the new members are entitled to join the National Forensic League, closely connected with the Speech Club, after they have earned twenty points in active contest work. Approximately one hundred and twenty stu- dents of West View took part in speech and debate this year. THE SPEECH CLUB First Row-Miss Morris, C, Iorcobs, M, Resler, I. Dodson, NV. McCcr':ine-y, P.

The West View Chapter of the National Forensic League is very active in this district. We have this high rating because of the hard working members and our tireless sponsors, Miss Morris and Mr. Metz. The members participate in contests and debates that are sponsored by the N. F. L. The contests are usually in five sections - humorous, dramatic, extemporaneous, original oration, and oratorical declamations. The high spot in the National Forensic League's local calendar is the Student Con- gress. The meeting place changes every year and this year it was held at Mount Mercy Col- lege on the tenth and eleventh of December. 'West View placed second with 153 points, while McKeesport took first place with only 158 points. Bill McCartney and John Dodson were elected Speaker of the Houses of Washington and Lincoln respectively. Bill was judged first place as outstanding speaker while John rank- ed third. This is something to be proud of as there were many schools represented and the competition was keen. The final speech tournament is held at Du- quesne University, and the final debate tour- nament is at State College. Last year West View placed first in two divisions and second in another. John Dodson, West View's repre- sentative, reached the fi- nal rounds in the Nation- A al Tournament. This is f . . the first time since 1942 dis 9 that someone from our ,W high school made the Na- fu 5 tional finals. We salute you, the N. F. L. Chapter at West View, for an outstanding , 5.3 year of service. SENICR HI-Y In 1945 the Y. M. C. A. I organized the West View , Chapter of the Hi-Y. AA They have established a fb? an good reputation in three years time. Many people hear only of the social and athletic activities of the Hi-Y f , and do not realize that M it does much to build and strengthen the character of its members. Each week some problem of great importance is thoroughly discussed. Such problems as boy-girl relations, choosing a vo- cation, world brotherhood, and personal ap- pearance are explained by men prominent in their field. - The Hi-Y is also one of the leading service organizations in the school. It sponsors the morning devotional service and also conducts the special chapel services at Thanksgiving and Easter. Earlier this year they sponsored Kneeling-YH. Cornell, W, Zeiq, A. Lunz, B. Heil, B, McCortney,. an assembly and last spring they started some- thing which they hope will become an annual affair, the senior breakfast for boys. The two most impressive events carried on by the Hi-Y were the induction ceremony and the father and son banquet. In addition to all this, the Hi-Y also carried on a well-rounded recreational and sports pro- gram. The West View Hi-Y gained recognition as the largest and most active Hi-Y in the Pitts- burgh area. To make the club more interesting, each 01 its 110 members served on a committtee. The Hi-Y was capably run by its officers: Al Lunz, President, Bob Heil, Vice President, Walton Zieg, Secretary, Homer Cornell, Treasurer, Bill McCartney, Chaplain, Mr. David Craig, Sponsor. All in all, the Hi-Y really lived up to its purpose-To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. First Row-D. Cummings, B.

Under the competent leadership of LaVerne Dollhopf, president, Audrey Anton, representative, and Mrs. Craig, sponsor, they have enjoyed a very successful year. JoAnn Craiger, Rosemarie Fell, and Bertha Beran also proved to be ex- cellent executives. The year began with a very impressive can- dlelight service and continued with many ex- citing programs to the big climax of the traditional Senior Breakfast on the morning of May Day. The girls raised money for this by selling refreshments at the home football games. The club was divided up into several com- mittees that gave the eighty members some- thing to do all year. Some of these were: So- cial, Sports, Devotional, and Drama Commit- tees. The Sports Committee formed a basket- ball team with which they challenged neigh- boring rival schools including Bellevue, and Perry. T his is some- thing new and different for West View and we're all hoping the future Y ni Teeners keep this up. In co-operation with the Central Y in Pitts burgh, West View teens went into full swing making doll clothes to give to unfortunate children. At the hanging of the greens at the Central Y Sue Beall won first prize for her doll. These Christmas preparations gave the Y- Teeners much satisfaction and joy. During the year the programs of the weekly meetings were very entertaining, for guest visitors came often to talk to the girls about pertinent teen-age questions and problems. By the end of the year the Y-Teens had all learned to live, play together, and to face life squarely. We take off our hats to you, girls, for your fine service and worthy contributions to your school and fellow students. 1 i - Q! Q Fil'Si ROW-H PGTGIS. l- Burnham, B. Eaton, E. Grupp, M. Gruber, R.

The club started the year with a bang by planning a snappy pep rally for the opening game at Avonworth. But this was only the be- ginning, and with all evidence pointing to a championship football squad things really be- gan to hum. W Clever pep rallys were X held for every game, of- 'W ten the faithful decorat- ing crew worked long 0 and late to decorate the W ' auditorium with bal- Z loons, crepe paper, and timely signs. The art 69 section plastered the L, ,, halls with colorful post- Q N ers and winning slogans c L! pf 1 ll1, C. Armstron , S. Williams. to spur the team to victory. The few boys in the club saw to it that at everv home game the goal posts were decorated. For the first time in its history the hard- working members 1'eceived some recognition at a Spaghetti Dinner on November 17, at the Plantation. The coaches and a few athletically- minded faculty members gave the girls some well-deserved praise. Credit must go where due to 'tSandy , the capable and cheerful president, who always gave a helping hand in getting in West View a 'tbetter than ever school spirit. She was ably assisted by Mary Carol Williams, vice- president, LaVerne Dollhopf, treasurerg and Joan. Wurdack, secretary. The two excellent sponsors, Miss Williams and Mr. Martorelli, contributed their utmost to make Sigma Phi Sigma the best ever. Its officers, sponsors, and the members de- serve a pat on the back for showing such a fine example of pep and spirit. THE CHEERLEADERS Siiiingflfl. Scholl, A. Fullenworlh, l. Wurdack, L.

This familiar cry is well known to every sports- loving Westvian. Our favorite team came out on top this year - and it was the mighty twelve that led them on, never once letting them down. This year the cheerleaders sported snappy new white sweaters, red corduroy skirts, red beanies, white socks, and topped this right sharp outfit with matching red and white saddles Joan Walton, our head cheerleader, was responsible for painting the megaphones. Joan and her crew of twelve attractive co- eds practiced long and hard during the sum- mer to work out new cheers and learn all the old ones. Miss Aiken was a constant prod to their success and with her was their manager, Mar- ian Sanders, who faithfully recorded their deeds. They worked with Sigma Phi Sigma in the pep rallies and also backed the basketball team in another great season. The teams and the students were certainly proud to have had such a lively and lovely group of girls to lead the cheering section. Cheering in a puddle of slippery mud at the football games is definitely not an ideal situa- tion but our girls kept on leading cheers for the team's victory. They are absolutely tops when compared to other schools. At every basketball game, too, they were to be seen as well as heard-cheering for the team and for West View. With tears in their eyes the senior cheer- leaders will depart from the line, and their places will be filled by up and coming sopho- mores and juniors. The F senior girls are: Joan Walton, Mae Scholl, Joan Wurdack, Ann Kirch, and Joan Louf- man. It took these girls out in front to make West View's spirit the very best yet. 9- f i S9 2 'nr Q I O C f fgfff' , THE HALL P TROL With the number of HI students enrolled in the sa- High School, an efficient system of patroling the halls was needed. Two minutes is quite a short time to make it to class- es but with the help of . these boys most students can do it. Under the capable leadership of Bill Mc- Cartney, Secretary of Traffic, and Mr. Craig, the sponsor, the organization has proved to be a real gem. One of the chief problems confronting the members of the Squad was the lunch-time rush.. However, with the cooperation of fac- ulty and students, the number of casualties s i. ,iss a, 6, . l X i rapidly diminished, and order prevailed. During classes, there were always hall patrol members in the hall, checking on students out of class to see if they had a hall pass. Another one of their duties was the guarding of the doors before assemblies at the end of the day to prevent anyone from leaving. During the assemblies, they also helped the faculty keep order. Their brilliant red and gold arm bands, al- ways worn on their left arms gave them per- mission to leave their classes early so that they could get to their posts in time for the between period rush. These many duties really kept the boys busy, but they proved themselves to be more than capable in handling their job. The student body should thank the hall patrol for a job well done! First Row-B.

These girls have organized to help others as well as themselves. Every year F. H. A. clubs all over the nation participate in the World Christmas Festival by making, buying, wrapping, and sending gifts for the unfortu- nate children overseas. Throughout the year these girls take it upon themselves to help new students in school, work with Red Cross, visit hospitals, make toys and favors for or- phanages, and learn about homemaking. The F. H. A. gives girls a chance to write articles, stories, skits, demonstrations, and radio programs. Articles and stories are al- ways needed for the State and National Maga- zines. In January of ev- ery year when the state mg I holds its Farm Show, 9' F. H. A. girls display E as exhibits of things they FS. have made, write, pre- if sent demonstrations, and ' meet to plan for better - clubs. The exhibits are eligible for prizes. 4 State and national 9 CA- 1-H v conventions give girls opportunities to travel and see things, and a chance to gain experience in being on their own. ln view of all these opportunities we can clearly see that such a club is needed in every school.

It was organized to provide a greater interest and promote a better understanding of Latin. Each Latin I and II class had individual meetings. The meetings were held twice monthly during class session, but if urgent business arose an extra meeting was called. Every class elected their own consuls and scribes, which correspond to the president and secretary in other organizations. The consuls called the meetings to order while the scribes read minutes of the previous meeting. Each meeting began with a scripture reading, the Lord's Prayer, and the flag salute, which were all done in Latin. New and old business was then discussed by the members and group singing or some enter- M tainment was held after 55 - - i QV: . the meeting. One of the most important club activities, the Roman Banquet, was given in the spring. All the members who attended the banquet were attired in togas, the costume worn by the ancient Romans. After the meal, which followed the traditional Roman lines, several of the club members entertained the remainder of the club. A very humorous por- trayal of the life of Julius Caesar was present- ed by Ed Drum and A1 Hilger. Patty Spatz honored the club with her vocal rendition of Can't Help Lovin' That Man. Each member was presented with a wreath of artificial flowers and leaves. This banquet is held every year under the sponsorship of Miss Vance. Miss Vance is well known throughout Pennsylvania for the work she has done and the offices she has held in various Latin organizations. Other activities were Latin Week, at the Planetarium, in March, and quite a number of field trips taken throughout the year. The club has fulfilled its purpose and We are proud of all our Latin students. GIRL'S BOWLI G CL B First Row-M. Patterman, C. Ehrenfried, B. Kummer, S. Beall, A. Vaughan, K. Huebner, L. Miller, I.

The Girls Bowling Club got off to a rather late start this year, but the old saying, You can't hold a good thing down! really proved to be true. Credit for bringing this organiza- tion back to life belongs to Lewetta Miller and Nedra Thomson who appointed themselves a committee of two to start a petition among the girls in order to create active interest in such an activity. Every other Wednesday, under the guidance of Miss Rucker, the members trooped down to the Bellevue Alleys where they spent a fun- filled afternoon. Every girl was secretly deter- mined to gain for herself the prize which was to be awarded at the annual banquet to the bowler with the highest average. The individ- ual members of each team were desperately striving to put their team ahead of all the others, since a prize was also to be awarded to the team which obtained the highest aver- age. The banquet was held April 26th at the Plantation House. With fried chicken as the main course on the menu, it's no wonder the banquet turned out to be such a huge success. Through a very interesting and effective method, the club created a good-sized treasury. The cost of bowling amounted to only forty- two cents, but the girls decided they would all pay fifty cents each time they bowled, and save the remaining eight cents. With the mon- ey contained in this kitty, the club bought the prizes which were awarded at the banquet. Favors were also awarded to all the girls who attended the banquet. These favors were ap- preciated because they represented the spirit of bowling. The girls at West View High School lack the excellent opportunity that the boys have to ex- cel in athletics. They are prohibited from par- ticipating in inter-scholastic athletics because, it is said, they are too strenuous for girls. For , this reason the girls themselves decided to en- gage in some activity . which would satisfy their need for exercise and play experience. The response this year was great and it is hoped by all that this interest ' Q N will be kept alive. b , I 5 Projection and Stage Crew The lights in the audi- ' torium are dimmed and c up goes the curtain. You lf l can relax and enjoy a A fa, class play or another U -ff! ,form of entertainment. lv ,A it No matter what the Q ix R event is, the stage crew lf QX : has been a great help in making it a success. The boys of the crew work hard and gain val- uable experience in the behind-the-scene stage work so necessary to any program. Not only do they set the scene, but must serve double duty by cleaning up afterwards, since the stage is also the gym floor. Another difficult task of the stage crew is setting up the num- erous extra chairs that line the aisles and fill the front of the auditorium in an assembly. Many benches are also set up on the balcony to accommodate the large overflow of students in West View. One factor that no doubt attracts many fel- lows to joining the Stage Crew is that very often members are called out of classes to per- form some essential duty. But these boys really deserve a lot of credit and much gratitude for being so unselfish with their time and for exerting so much effort to make our assem- blies a success. Another hardworking group was the pro- jection crew who were responsible for many entertaining movies during assemblies or at lunch time. The boys were taught how to op- erate and repair the projector at their meet- ings. These boys of the stage and projection crew are responsible for many of the nice things we get, so let's not forget to thank them for a job well done. Miss Alcott and Mr. Metz are their very capable sponsors. First Row-B. Thompson, D. Lebo, B. Cole, W. Taylor, F. Otto.

Can you imagine what your life would be without it? - no correct time by Bulova, and no fifty yard seat at that thrilling Army-Navy game. Imagine, also, the present era and your fu- ture with the development of radar and tele- vision and the many new ways of living that they are bringing to our world. This year the radio club at West View has proved to be even more interesting and active than it had been in the past. The main activity of the club this year was the educational as- sembly it sponsored. Anyone who attended couldn't help but learn something about radio that he hadn't known before. Through an ex- tremely amusing demonstration, the student body learned how a disc jockey operates. Two members of West View's Radio Club had trav- eled by bus to Cleveland where they visited a Cleveland television station. They related a very interesting account of this adventure in the assembly. Another demonstration present- ed in the assembly was on a modern method of raising plants. A number of skits not per- taining to radio club were presented. Several sophomore girls enter- T . tained us with their pup- W pet show and a sopho- 0 more boy put on an ' amazing magic act. The assembly was concluded with Bob Richardson showing air-view photos of Butler Airport and West View. lts members under the sponsorship of Miss Alcott have widened and developed more thoroughly their scope of study by dividing themselves into two groups. One of these groups deals with Radio Broadcasting which includes radio speech for those interested in radio announcing. The other section is con- cerned mainly with the Technical Study of Radio which includes mostly theory. The capable officers were Christian Mueller, presidentg Tom Ednie, vice-presidentg and Mildred Fishinger, secretary-treasurer. n Z5 f I wr-10 Left to Right-M. Lampus, P. Bryce, G.

Do you have the Readers Guide ? Where's the sports section of the newspaper? These and many similar queries confront the student librarian, but even with these their best to please are: Beverly Chase, president 3 Charlene difficulties they have done us. The leaders this year president, Sue Beall, vice Ehrenfried, treasurer and their sponsor, Miss Rea. There is a total of fifty-six girls in the club 111l i'. f A x I K -a.f.z this year, and twenty- one of these are new members. After a proba- tionary period, the girls were initiated into the club in November. The highlight of the year is the annual Christmas dinner when the tradi- trimmed by library club 7? N Wm ,, sf' j, , lm, tional Christmas tree is members. This year the Mothers' Club of Ridgewood asked the club to present a skit dealing with the library for their November meeting Members participating were: Gayle Phillips, Mary Jane Madden, Sue Beall, Beverly Chase, Nancy Jellison, Charlotte Kegg, and Carol Gallwits. A new activity point system was started this year to give any club member the chance to receive eight points whether she is an offi- cer or not. The highest points are given to the girls that are efficient, reliable workers, and those that are always willing to please. On May 11th the Library Club held a ban- quet in honor of all the girls who so unselfishly devoted their time attempting to fulfill our many desires. They were finally given a chance to relax at the banquet since the meal was ex- pertly prepared for them by others. These girls and their leaders have done a miraculous job and we thank them and their leaders. GIRL'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIO First Row-E. Keller, N. McCullough, M. Scotti, D. Tritsch, E.

On the feminine side of sports lovers we have the well known G. A. A. The girls see the need for sports and games that build healthy bodies and are doing something about it. Volleyball and basketball ranked high on the girls list of favorite sports. Everytime they could get the gym the fairer sex demonstrat- ed their love for good rousing games. When spring came, if the weather permitted, a fast game of mushball was held on the back lot. The senior girls were especially overjoyed this year because they were able to defeat the women faculty members by a very decided victory of 54-27 at the Benefit Game, Decem- ber third. The secret aim of every member is to earn a G. A. A. letter by accumulating fifty points. These points are received for attendance and also another for being on the winning team. Two days each week the gym was reserved after school by the G. A. A. The senior high girls played one time and the junior high girls played the other. The junior high G. A. A. plays the same games as the older girls do, but they have their own separate meeting. Everyone who belonged to the Girls' Ath- letic Association was in it for the simple pur- pose of playing together with other girls who believe in good sportsmanship and fair play. Other sports interest the girls a great deal. so they have asked to learn more about them. Miss Aiken, our capable sponsor, is plan- ning to instruct the girls on rules of tennis and golf, if they are I interested. This is new to the G. A. A. and it will be interesting to M note how it works out. It is at G. A. A. that excellent sportsmanship and good fellowship as well as fun can be found in abundant quantities. THE ART CLUB This year's Art Club got off to a good start with forty or so mem- f., bers. Art talent among . W Q we 41 ' the boys is quite in evi- dence this year. Odd as it may seem some of our best football men are 3 Ag also ardent art fans. In .J ' painting the cafeteria murals their skill was much in demand. Besides completing unfinished projects of last year the Art Club this year was respon- sible for decorating the new music room for Mr. Caruso. They really added a lot to the ap- pearance of the band room. Before the Art Club redecorated it, it was just an ordinary room, but now it's quite unusual and very striking. Next, the club members worked on making plaster casts and bas-reliefs. After completing that section of their activities, they started to assemble a kickwheel for the ceramic workshop nook. Since the building of this was of some expense the members even raised money for its furnishings. This ceramic work- shop provided an incentive for their hard Work. In the spring, When the weather was inviting, the Art Club made an excursion to North Park. After sketching on the water-front, they had a picnic and a dance. Near the end of the school year, the members of the club put on an ex- hibit of their accomplishments. In this way, the rest of the student body was able to ap- preciate the fine work that this club stands for. Officers were: George Campbell, president, Teresa Fusca, first vice president, Shirley Schultheis, second vice president, Claire Ai- kenhead, third vice president, Mimi Snyder, secretary, Al Mazer, manager, Claire Aiken- head, treasurerg Dave Lebo, program chair- mang Bob Paynter, membership chairmang Christian KL Stierheim, publicity chairmang Ron Schomberger, Ways and means, Ernie Hauer, monitor.

THE CHORU The lights are dimmed, a sudden hush falls over the auditorium and a feeling of suspense and waiting is felt as the curtain slowly opens. A thundering of applause zooms up from the crowd in the auditorium and the shrill of whistling rings in one's ear. Yes, on stage we see the potential state championship chorus garbed in their beautiful maroon and white robes and directed by our popular director, Miss Conner. With hard work and co-operation from every member, Miss Conner has made the chorus of state championship calibre and one of which everyone of us can be proud and happy to say is our high school chorus. Every Thursday and Friday morning they practice for their many performances. They work hard and long but Miss Conner with her vibrant personality and pep has made chorus rehearsals something to look forward to and anticipate. Along with their hard work they have a lot of fun and enjoy their practices. , Early in November, O . . U Pg rf? the chorus was chosen to sing at the Veteran's Hospital at Aspinwall They sang Gloria from Mozart's Twelfth Mass and Omnipo- tence by Shubert, an Qi 'i'i Wm other beautiful religious numbers. The mixed chorus, girls' and boys' choruses, singing sixteen, quartet, and trio, and many other groups sang for all of the assemblies and activities taking place at school and in the borough. Without the singing of one of these groups, the activities and assemblies would not have been complete. They added the final touch. First Row-K. Weiss, A. Kirch, A. Fullenworth, B. Beran, S.

In this case, the finest band West View has ever seen. Perhaps it all started with the week at band camp, seven days of h.ard work mingled with a full program of recreation. Mr. Caruso had two able and dashing assistants in Mr. Paine and Mr. Henderson. When the first football game rolled around, the band was in fine shape. The band's sched- ule didn't vary much. Every activity period and after-school practice Ig continued rain or shine. A few highlights of the season were: forma- tion of the piano, with the majorettes playing Chop Sticks on the keysg the pumpkin with the blinking eyes, and the cute Indian marches . .J-r f 5 uv Q-un-s and songs played. The cross of white lights moving down the field to the hymn of Onward Christian Soldiers closed the season leaving an inspiring message for all. Certainly this article would not be complete without mentioning the majorettes. Looking from the front to back as they strut down the field with batons flashing you spy pert Daphne Wolf, head majorette, who deserves much credit for the clever dances performed by the other girls. Behind her prance three equally attactive girls, Mercedes Cipko, Jean Lanicker, and Audrey DeMaria. At the Avalon game Audrey and Mercedes thrilled th.e crowd by spinning two batons. Several times Jean Lan- icker twirled two flaming batons, throwing them high in the air, and catching them with ease. Next comes a bevy of beautiful girls sporting new uniforms of white trimmed with gold. This group consists of Meda Kaesmeier, Phyllis Hartman, Barbara Hamburg, Joan Helfrich, Beverly Chase, Carolyn Rodgers, Joan Espe, and Doris Ford. They practiced THE MAJGRETTES long hours to perfect the f I routines which they clev- ' erly executed. fmlf as Leading the band is AV . tall, handsome Don Zar- I X emski. Czar set all fe- , male hearts aflutter when he pranced from 3 ' the band, high stepping CAMWM to the strains of Mili- tary Escort. After Don, come the band members themselves with their perfect marching and precise formaticn. The music played by the band during the pep assemblies, the games, and at the halves, was a wonderful help in boasting the school spirit. Last but not least we should think of Mr. James Caruso, without whose clever direction and guidance our band could never have achieved such great- ness. lt was his hard work and clever mind that brought us the original skits. VVe salute him and his band of which all West View is proud. Daphne Wolf SicndinqfD. Ford, I. I-lelirlch, P, HC1fllIlGU, M. Kcxesmeier, B. Chase, B. Hamburg, C. Rodgers, I. Espe.

Heirich, G. Newell, R. Mcmcuso, Mr. Caruso. As we walk through the halls during first period, the strains of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms can be heard. The melodious tones come from our fine high school orchestra. These instrumentalists are selected from the band and must be skilled in classic as well as popular music. These musicians have played many times dur- ing the year for most of the important events of the school. The music they provided between the acts of the junior and senior plays was a big help toward the success of the plays. The sound effects in the senior class play were es- pecially e f f e c t ive and startling. In the spring, when the choral department put on an operetta called the Mikado, the orches- tra provided the accom- paniment for the entire show. LA f W 9.-'.., u 4-Q Q-I Q, Thru the course of the school year, these ver- satile musicians gave several concerts. One of these concerts proved to be a memorable occa- sion, because Mr. Caruso invited Gildo Ferran- do, famous opera singer, to come out to West View and sing for us. We were certainly proud that Mr. Ferrando would come and sing for us, and those who heard him will never forget the thrill they received as they listened to him. The smaller groups are the ones that are en- tered in the National Forensic League Music contest, besides the soloists. These groups are also the ones that participate in the exchange assemblies with other schools. The swing band especially made a hit, with its modern jazz arrangements. The members of this fine orchestra can well be proud of their accomplishments during the past year. The fine music they played was a product of the hard work connected with be- longing to this organization. West View is proud of its orchestra and ex- tends congratulations to its members.

Armstrong The National Honor Society is the organi- zation to which each and every student would be greatly honored to belong. Although this society is offered to everyone who performs outstanding qualities in scholarship, character, service, and leadership, only those students ranking in the upper fourth of their class are eligible. Despite the fact that this organization only began nine years ago at West View, the com- petition has increased, and a greater spirit to do better has been established. New members were invited to join the Na- tional Honor Society in the spring, when the seniors already belonging walked among the audience and personally informed the selected students of their good fortune. The new mem- bers were then invited to come to the stage of the auditorium. There they received yellow rib- bon bows to be worn that day to show that they belonged to the society. They also received for- mal invitations inviting them to join the or- ganization. Membership in the National Honor Society is a coveted honor, and almost every boy and girl in the high school would like to belong. However, the members represent only three per cent of the junior class and ten per cent of the senior class. In May, these new members were officially initiated into the society ff at a beautiful candlelight ceremony. During the program the old mem- bers explained the high L standards of the society, and then invited the in- coming members to light their candles at the flame of knowledge. . ld.. f ,f 2 ,wrt ji glxflvlt.

The Indians were co cham pions of the Ohio Valley Football Conference along af 'nv . - - 'fx with Avonworth High v School Both teams had a ,,,.,. conference record of four wins and one tie. At the annual Ohio Valley Con- ference banquet the two teams were presented the trophy, each team to have it for a period of six months. Another first for this year's squad was a week of training spent at Camp Linwood near Point Marion, Pennsylvania. The squad left on August 28, and returned on September 4. They were accompanied by Coaches Martor- elli, Guadagnino, and Hare, our new J. V. coach. Because of the intense heat, practice was limited to the morning and the evening when the weather was a little cooler. The after- noons were spent in swimming and other out- door recreation. Sharing the captaincy this year were two veteran seniors, fullback Ed Fullerton and halfback Tuggy Heintz. Ed has been on the squad four years and Tuggy has been on it three years. Ed played exceptionally well both on offense and on defense. He was just the right man to take those short line plunges when a few yards were needed. Tuggy was the slippery-hipped halfback who frequently got away for long gains. Ed and Tuggy shared the burden of doing most of the West View pass- ing. Ron Schomburger, another senior, held down a regular end position, and he was the target for many West View passes. Lip's early season punting was also a great help. Don Fisher held down a guard position. Don was used mainly on offense. Howard Potter was another outstanding guard on the West View line. He played the first half of the season, but an injury prevented h.im from playing in the second half. Husky Bob Anderson was a fine tackle who really upheld his side of the line. When our opponents had the ball, Mike O'Keefe took over an end position. In the back- field Tim Howe was an excellent offensive halfback. He put a thrill in the hearts of many a West View rooter with his several long runs. Dick, Vierthaler was a capable quarterback when he was called upon. Other seniors on the squad who deserve mention are: center Ed Owen, guard Howard Smith, tackles Dave Car- baugh and Dan Egnacheski, ends Mike Foster and Don Monper, and halfbacks Harry Stack, Julian Boffo, and Don Hirth. These boys may not have played regularly, but they were al- ways ready when called upon. Al Mazur, a junior, was the end that Ed Fullerton liked to hit best with his passes. Al's punting kept the Indians out of possible tough spots. Dave Roy, another junior, was the regu- lar offensive center. Dave's accurate snap backs of the pigskin kept West View fumbles to a minimum. Ken Rall, also a junior, was a regular guard. Chuck Gressang again held down the regular quarterbacking spot despite a broken finger sustained in the middle of the season. Chuck was a junior as was Ron Cully, a capable guard on defense. There were two sophomores on this year's varsity. Th.ey were stocky Dave Boffo and Frank Red Morris. Dave was a tackle, and Red was a guard. The season's lid lifter for the Indians was a night game at Avonworth. The opposing Red and Gray started early by scoring two quick touchdowns, but West View soon warmed up and tied the score early in the third period. The game ended in a 13-13 tie. The Viewers then traveled to Millvale for another after dark affair. The Indians really put their offense in high gear, and they tram- pled Millvale under a 25-0 score. The Indians first home game was another arc light tilt. Mars provided the opposition this time. The men from Mars were no match for the vaunted West View power, however, and the Indians sent them spinning with a 29-6 defeat. The following week our traditional rival, Bellevue, appeared on the West View field. Whatever thoughts of revenge that may have been in Bellevue hearts were soon suppressed as the Viewers scored the first time they hand- led the ball. West View went on from there to win, 12-0.

The Indians brought their heads out into the daylight for the first and only time when they traveled to Leetsdale. But, sunlight or arc light, the results were the same as the View- ers carried off a 26-7 victory. The sore-spot of this game was an injury to Howard Potter. Howard dislocated his elbow, and he was not able to play during the remainder of the sea- son. West View next met a powerful Shaler elev- en at the latter's field, back under the lights again. The Indians struck a snag in this game, however, and the Huskies walked off with a 13-0 victory. Returning home the Viewers prepared their field for a contest under the Mazdas with Sewickley. West View began anew its winning ways by dumping the Indians from Sewickley, 14-0. Frank Morris broke his leg in this game. Hampton raced onto our field with a much improved team that had high hopes of defeat- ing the Viewers. It didn't look as if they would do it, though, when the Indians scored in the second quarter. Hampton fought back and tied the score late in the game. Both teams fought hard for a victory, but they had to be satisfied with a 7-7 deadlock. An artificial daylight affair with Avalon was the finale to this very successful season. An injury-riddled Avalon team was no match for the West View juggernaut, and the Indians carried off another lopsided victory 26-0. Many a West View rooter has long-awaited the completion of just such a successful foot- ball season as this. A team with only one check in the lost column is to be commended highly for such fine work. This victorious season was accomplished through excellent team spirit, good clean sportsmanship, and great spirit among the fellows. The 1948 football season will always be remembered for bringing the first championship football team to West View High School. max O vc 'iX'S'-'xii Q 19 8 S S... INDI N5 VARSITY BASKETBALL Because of the late closing of the football season this year, the call for basketball players went out almost immediately after the last football game. This yearls squad had only two varsity hold- overs from last year, but members of last sea- son's junior varsity capably filled the vacant positions on the varsity. Six boys put in their last year on the basket- ball court for West View. Ed Fullerton, vet- eran senior, could really keep the ball moving, and he had the knack of dribbling right down the middle through all the opposition and lay- ing the ball up for a field goal. Ed and Ron Schomburger were the co-captains of the squad. Lip was the Indians' rebound special- ist. He could put them in our basket and keep KneelingfC. McKo1n. them out of the oppon- , ents' basket. 7, Nj Smooth - working qs Chuck Gates played in K ai. the left corner near the ' C CC basket when he was not A! bringing the ball down , the floor. Jack Penney 9 was a very capable first string guard. Who can forget the night when he scored 34 points against Mars? Ron Watkins was the Braves' first string replace- ment. He would alternate with either Chuck Gates or Jack Penney. Chuck McKain, a junior, was an excellent playmaker and harasser of opponents until he broke his collarbone soon after the start of the n Slcmding-A. I-Llqer, R, Watkins, I. Penny, R. Schomburger, C. Gu es, E, Fullerton, H. Cornell. league season. Tall, rangy Stan Fischer, a soph- omore, took his place on the starting five. Stan was really sharp on set shots from the right. The second string was composed of Homer Cornell, Al Hilger, and Al Mazur. These fel- lows were always ready and willing whenever they were called upon. The Indians started off the season in grand style by knocking off the old men from the faculty. After losing a close battle to North Catholic, the boys decisively set down one of last year's conquerors, Robinson Township, by the score of 39-26. Right before the holidays, the team polished off Bellevue on the Bellevue floor in a tight finish, 31-30. The New Year found the beginning of league competition. The league was composed of the same teams as last year, with the addition of Freeport. After beating Freeport in the league open- er, the Viewers ran into some tough luck when they lost Chuck McKain. Tarentum and Springdale were able to insert check marks in the West View lost column, but the team soon got back on the right track when they beat Shaler and followed by beating Mars by the largest score in the history of West View, 84-36. Between halves of the league schedule, the team took time out to vanquish the alumni for another year by the score of 55-46. West View again had trouble with last year's nemesis, Leechburg, and lost two tough games to them. Springdale was another two time vic- tor over the Viewers, but they had no easy time of it. When at last the basketball season drew to a close for another year, it was found that the Indians had left behind a record of thirteen wins and eight losses, a record identical to that of last year. A highly commendable accom- plishment of this year's squad was the fact that the team as a whole topped the 1000 point mark in scoring for the first time.

JU IOR VARSITY F OOTB LL This year West View also had a hard-fighting junior varsity football team. Their coach, Mr. Hare, deserves a great deal of credit for the wonderful work he has if done with the squad. Like the varsity, the JVs had long sessions of practice at the high school field. By being near the Varsity players they were able to acquire pointers on how to play their positions. The JVs also participated in the same calisthenics as the Varsity squad. This helped very much toward their condition- ing and playing strength. These are some of the -,ff Q-9 i Ei many things a younger player must learn be- fore he is ready for varsity competition. The first game of the season was played against Avonworth on their field. ln this game the JVs put up a gallant fight, but the game ended in favor of a hard-fighting Avonworth squad 15-7. West View's lone tally was made on a pass to Henry. The following week West View's JVs trav- eled to Troy Hill where they played the North Catholic Trojans. Here the JVs were handed their worst rout of the year, 18-0, but the spir- it and fight which they displayed throughout the game was to be commended. The next week they invaded their old rivals, Bellevue, and played a superb game. Fischer, Barnhart, Tur- jack, and Alexander scored for the West View gridders in the complete subduing of Bellevue, 31-0. For the last game of the season the JVs played Shaler on the latter's field. The JVs fought savagely but lost a heart-breaker to their opponents. The final score was Shaler 7, West View 0. Although the team did not have as good a season in the win and loss percentages as the varsity, they gained a great amount of exper- ience through their games and practice. Watch these boys, because they will be the future stars of West View's varsities. First RowfA. K , H. lones, S. Garvin, T. R yt L B qmcin, D. Moron, I. Alexander, I. Flqxmeqieiti, K, Mitchell, I.

Reibe UNIOR VARSITY BASKETB LL West View's Junior Varsity had a winning combination this year, for the J Vs produced a record of 17 wins against 2 losses, the best record a junior varsity has yet compiled at West View. The main purpose of the JV is to help im- prove and gain needed experience for their future years when they will become varsity players. Mr. Martorelli gave much time and effort toward their improvement. Speedy Carl Barnhardt played a guard po- sition and dazzled the crowd with his set shots. His running mate at th.e other guard position was Lyle Bergman, the play-maker of the team. Stan Fischer played during the first of the season, but showed such improvement that he was moved up to a varsity regular. Bob Q W' Stoyer proved to be a s capable forward. Nor- M, bert Kaylor played at center and was the best jumper on the squad. lib , The other first stringer V was tall Tom Gregg, who 577 showed his improvement by playing brilliantly during the latter part of the season. Other members of the squad were Charles Gorman, Kirk Mitchell, Joe George, Joe Gullo, Wilson Dietrich, and Ed Stockhausen. With such up and coming stars, our varsity should show much promise in the future. First Row-R. Stoyer, C. Gorman, I. Gullo, C. Barnhardt, L. Berqmcxn, K. Mitchell. Second RowfN. Kaylor, T. Gregg, S.

The brisk wind and clear skies were an inviting sight to West View's ambi- tious golfers who had already shined their slightly rusted clubs. Then swish! A powerful swing. Crack! A little white pellet zipped down the middle of the fairway. This helped West View's mashie wielders battle their way to the section and W. P. 1. A. L. Championships. They drove, putted, and sand blasted their way through thirteen straight matches without a defeat. The great feature of West View's suc- cess was the ability of a team member to come through with a timely victory when one of his team-mates had an off day. To make up the team Mr. Tiffany had four holdovers from last year's sectional champion- ship team. The players were: Bob Reilly, Don Black, Don Fisher, and Dick McCarthy. A new- comer to the squad, Dave Howell, played an important part in West View's triumphs. Bob Reilly the best golfer ever to attend West View, led the attack. It was his fourth straight year as captain and first man on the squad. Bob also qualified for the state indi- vidual tournament, in which he finished in third place. After Bob, Don Black, Dave How- ell, Don Fisher, and Rich McCarthy teed off in that order. The first match of the year the Indians played Baldwin Township at Highland Country Club, the Viewer's home course. West View emerged with an overwhelming victory. This was sweet revenge for last year's defeat by Baldwin, which eliminated West View from the championship play-offs. Although hampered by rain and windy weather the Indians continued 1948 GOLF TEAM RECORD League Matches West View ,, . 14 Ambridge I West View 1216 Avonworth 292 West View 1315 Sewickley 11!2 West View .. 15 Moon , , 0 West View .. 115 Avonworth 31!2 West View . 15 Sewickley 0 West View . . 14 Moon . 1 West View , 15 Ambridge 0 1 'lR-l.Sl!,E.O ,DP .D.Fh.

The Viewers glided to the section championship by two victories, each over Ambridge, Avonworth, Moon, and Se- wickley High Schools. After these victories they traveled to South Hills Country Club to meet Harbrac Union High School in the quarter-finals. Har-Brac had been champs the previous year. The In- dians showed the great form that had carried them to the playoffs by trouncing the de- fending champs. In the semi-final round the linkers drew a bye. They were to play the Winner of the Greensburg-Baldwin match for the W. P. I. A. L. trophy. Greensburg emerged victorious and were met the following day at Alcoma Country Club by the Indians. It was a crisp sunny day and the four nerv- ous Indians stood on a tee While Bob Reilly led off. Then it was a battle for every chip and putt. The match wasn't decided until the final player was on the last green. The score was tied when our reliable Dick McCarthy rang down the curtain on a successful season, with two and one-half points to assure the Viewers f victory. Congratulations to the I 43 X finest golf team in the f' H annals of West View 5 I High School. Let's keep ' up the good work and .xx I ' X add another trophy this ll ., , year. Good luck to a real- if bf ly great team. WRESTLI G Early in December, Coach Ivor Smith gave his call for recruits. This call was answered by many boys who were ready and waiting to go to work. They underwent weeks of strenu- ous workouts. Every day you could see the faithful members of the team walking up the hill to the Highland School. They used the Highland gym for their practice sessions. Dur- ing these sessions coach Ivor Smith taught them many holds and tricks of the wrestling game. His coaching was invaluable to many of the newcomers of the squad. He also gave advanced instruction to the holdovers from the previous years' team. While these practice ses- sions were being held, many of the wrestlers were keeping in trim by taking their mile run for the day. This also helped some of the grap- plers to regulate their weight so that they could comply with the weight standards re- quired to wrestle in a W. P. I. A. L. match. In the very first match, Waynesburg proved themselves superior with their fast and tricky movements. The boys did not seem to recover from this defeat until they met the McKeesport grapplers on the West View mat. In this match, the West View boys showed the improvement gained in their previous matches by completely outclassing the Porters by a lopsided 41 to 9 score. Their next win was over our next door neighbor, Shaler. Having been previously beat- en by Shaler, our boys were out for revenge. A close battle was fought with West View com- ing out on the long end of a 22 to 21 score. This year, as in previous years, the W. P. I. A. L. held its annual tournament at Waynes- burg. Three representatives from West View were entered in the tournament. They were Dale Hauser, our one hundred and three pound grappler, Walt Novak, a capable senior wrest- ler at one hundred and sixty-five pounds, and First Row-Mr. Smith, l. Mcnolik, E. Armstrong, D.

Then both Dale and Tony were eliminated from 88 lbs the tournament in their second match. Walt 95 lbs Novak continued on to the semi-finals, but he 103 lbs' eeeee ---- - received an injury which forced him to with- 112 lbs draw from the competition.

Two of the best fielders on the squad, Tuggy Heintz and John Brug- geman, battled for the hot corner and throughout the season they alternated at this position. Ronnie and Warren Schomburger, Roy Tait,Dave Roy and Dick Horst roamed the outfield for the Indians. Dave performed commendably in right field and proved to be one of the most consistent hitters on the squad. Roy Tait, Dave Roy and Dick Horst roamed catches in the outfield and his work greatly helped the Indians. Ronnie Schomburger, the power hitter of the squad, sent many a scream- ing drive to the deep corners of the park. His speed and long reach proved helpful in center field. This year, West View is looking forward to another fine season with many of last year's players returning. First Row-V-kB, Heyl, H, Smith, B, Schomburqer, D. Hoy, A. Mczur, E. Fullerton, C. Sittiq.

With the tooting of boat whistles and the waving of hands, as Juniors we shoved off into one of the most enjoyable com- edies ever written. Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough are aboard a ship bound for Paris. The last warning that Mr. and Mrs. Skinner gave them was not to talk to any strange men. Of course they disregard this and immediately become acquainted with two fellow passengers, Dick Winters and Leo McEvoy. Aboard ship Cor- nelia demonstrates her dramatic talents to everyone who ventures near their cabin, while Emily spends her time getting into one mix- up after another. The fun continues during their summer in Paris. Here Cornelia studies drama while Emily finds what it is like to be engulfed by a kiss. Under the able supervision of Miss Delp, the entire cast worked hard and the play was an overwhelming success.

I On March 23 and 25, the Senior Class stepped aside from the usual path of the light- hearted comedy and took a journey into sus- pense. Everyone's spine tingled as they watched Night Must Fall in which, Dan, a bellboy in a resort hotel remotely lo- cated in Essex, England, pretending to be in love with Dora Parkoe, maid of Mrs. Bramson, is summoned to the Bransom Cottage. Such is his charm that Mrs. Bransom is immediately taken with him and adds him to her h.ousehold servants. The murder of a guest at the hotel is traced to Dan by Olivia, an unhappy niece of Mrs. Bramson's, who elects to shield the boy. Dan, powerless in the grip of his homicidal in- stincts, plots the murder of Mrs. Bramson for her money. The police arrive in the nick of time and prevent him from killing Olivia also. The play, unusual for the fact that it re- quired English accents of all the characters, wasbeautifully presented by the cast. Under the skilled direction of Mr. Craig the cast Wove it into a web of intrigue and suspense. The play was well received by the audience on both evenings, and Friday night's perform- ance played to a capacity house. A student matinee was given on Thursday afternoon, March 24.
