Thru our gayety, thru our days Hlled with the excitement of youth, of growing up, has run the heart breaking knowledge that across the seas, east and west, our future was being decided, was being decided in agony, in anguish, in physical and mental tra- vail. Our days have been sobered by this knowledge. Our minds and our hearts have carried this burden. It has been an onerous and dillicult one for us. Our lives have 4 ffl as Illlll been Hlled with insecurity and a sense of universal and personal sorrow. Now-we know. We know the world we knew as children will not be destroyed. We know that standing on the Four Free- doms we faee a future-a future which we and thousands upon thousands like us shall help to build. May we be wise, may we be discerning, enough, to build a future that will establish justice, insure tranquility-promote general welfare, and secure The Blessings of Liberty - for ourselves and all other peoples. 4::,,i:'..,.,. .

Wllaply I Think on Theew CShakespeare's 29th Sonnetj Shakespeare sometimes wrote like a cub reporter on THE WESTERNER or The Breeze. He disregarded objectivity and, with poetical license, colored his com- position with the tincture of his own feeling and personality. This was particularly true in his twenty-ninth sonnet. With heart bowed down in abject and envious self-pity, he, near the end of the doleful recital, Haply thinks on thee. Immediately the sun rises, and a new note of hope is heard. He puts aside his thoughts of grief and envy and, his spirits mounting like the lark, sings at heaven's gate. Westerners, like the poet, wherever they congregate, on land or sea, allow their thoughts to drift back to Western. f'Haply I think on thee. Why? One reason was supplied by a distinguished caller last fall. During his visit, he happened to step into the lobby during the interval before 9:25. Everywhere were groups engaging in smiling, happy, animated conversation. 'Democracy at work, commented the visitor. 'The buoyant optimism of youth given a perfect opportunity in a great school for personal friendship and satisfactory achievement. He analyzed the situation perfectly. As you-and now I address the Seniors particularly-leave Western, you will look back upon your experiences in the classroom, on the drill and athletic Helds, in the clubs, and at the social events with pleasure tinged with sadness. And I am sure that you, as did our distinguished visitor, also will recognize the full value of the daily social periods. It is in the free periods that friendships are made and school opinion created. It is then that the optimism of youth rallies to the challenge of democracy. It is their that some of the big things that will be done by Westerners in the future have been begun. And, as you finish your training and go out to invest your lives in a world that bids high for excellence, every Westerner will be pulling for YOU. In a fair field with no favors, every Westerner will rejoice at YOUR success. Because, in the democracy of Western, every man is big enough to rejoice if some one else is bigger. And that is the reason why the real alumni of Western everywhere, when they take time out of their busy, work-a-day world to hark back to Western and their school days, say, with Shakespeare, Haply I think on thee. May that spirit never change, but grow stronger through the years! N. A. DANOWSKY I0 XIR, N.X'I'II.VXNIl'II, X, DXNUNYSKN 11 Here we stand . . . Western's youth of today, representing the spirit of America. Through our cherished plans and traditions, we have followed in the footsteps of our predecessors, we work as you worlced, we laughingly while away the hours as you did in the past . . . And yet, in the year that has just gone, Westerners have been con- scious of a new freedom that was not present during our years of war, a sense of steadiness, yet of relief. Witlr prayers in our hearts and new hope for the future, we give you the Western that has been and is to bein the story of 1946 . . .

September 17, l945-the first day of school! WVhat varied emotions that well- known cry brings forth. Somethin' special for the seniors toog a lump in our throats for our last totally terriiic year in Western and a song in our hearts for our very first year in high school with peace throughout the world. The sadness of reminiscing was soon dispensed A GLAN gone but not forgotten through sharing our summer fun and conti- dences and preparing plans for the new school year. The process of getting in the groove was heralded by the usual perplexing multi- tude of programs, credits, and cards, cards, cards!-pink ones, yellow ones, blue ones! Yep, it's the same place all right! The new students were shown, with proper . . . some wear 'em short and some wear 'em long C 'WARD . . . we were all in a hurry to get to the garlic admiration and respect, through our illus- trious halls and soon were well acquainted with our songs and cheers, though most of them experienced a little difliculty with the floor plan. A typical school day-filled with all the little things that seem so trivial at the time hut which assume appropriate size through the passages of time. School is not only a place of hard-working, future Iiinstcins twisllful thinkinglj hut it typities all that in our teens is so glorious and memorable to us. 'l'hings like the thrills of a game, and even bigger thrills afterwardsg the dances, tespeeially the one where the captain of the team danced with usjg that cold dread that fills our hearts . . . lrowdy' folks, it's swell to be lnaelc before a physics test, and coinplaeeney upon passing it, for is it the other way around?jg the hours in the club rooni where we danced the hours awayg our reluctance to comply with Mrs. XVoodall's Daily Seven, while we cheer- fully inunch a hot dog and a candy harg our fun and laughter, our eokes and jazz, and most of all, our teachers and friends-all this goes to nrake up our years at VVestern which well . . A1hert's daily ritual ff, w W X in-f 'u'W1Wv-eww., stand out no inatter where we go or what we do. 'l'he football gaincs were in the spotlight at the heginning of the year, and though the scores were not always in our favor. it was at these gaines that VVestcrn's cheerleaders lcd the teams on to victory with the full support of the student body. VVestcrners were also very proud of Don Lichty and Iohn Beatty, . . . sure was crowded the night of the Serufi' Dance . this is how it's done eaptain of o11r team, who 111ade tl1e All-llggh 'l'C2lIll tl1is year.

Some of tl1e best were tl1e ninsieal assenihliesg those which fea- tured Sarah Thrush and Ray Waln were always popular, and David Bean's Gershwin asseinhly also met with instant and lasting appreciation. However, the assemblies, regard- less of their merit were always too short accord- ing to the audiences and plans were eonstantly . . . a study in neatness being made through our Student Council to lengthen them. One of the ventures which the 1945-46 Student Council can exclusively claim is the launching of the Club Room. The old Ration Board rooms were taken over in September and due to the perseverance of the Student Council members, particularly its president, Doyle Rogers, they were painted, varnished and . . . the feeling wasn't mutual put in order, much to the delight of the many students who frequent it. The traditional Christmas Pageant under the supervision of Old Nick himself, was given with all the expressive beauty of the choir and tableaux and proved that Wester1i's '45-'46 Choir certainly upheld all of the dignity and loveliness of the previous pagents. About this time the February class was pre- . . . music hath charms, and so hath David. . . Santa's little helper paring to leave Western, and after thc election of class officers, plans for their prom, held at the 2400, class day, and graduation exercises went forward rapidly. 'l'he exercises were mcmorableg Oliver Carter, Class President, delivering the saluatory, lamcs Kearney, Class Treasurer, the valedictory, and Rev. War- ren llastings, the address. After the many farewclls, we seniors who were left realized that our own graduation would comc before long and set about to make the most of our last semester in VVcstcrn. The Student Council was also very active in sponsoring dances at Western this yearg the most successful of which was thc Sadie Haw- kins Seruff Dance given in March, where the girls paid thc boys' ways, did the cutting, brought spectacular corsagcs of radishes, let- l . . . Ah-li-h l i L i tuce, and ivy, and in general, proved them- selves worthy escorts. lncidentally, those who might have noticed a few aimless souls wandering through the halls earlier in the year, with a fixed gleam in their eyes, and muttering to themselves as they ambled along, were probably relieved to find that they were participants in Western's Spring Play, 'LDon't Keep Him Waiting, which was watch it boys, the boss is here sponsored by the Drama Club. Its preview in assembly served to arouse the curiosity and interest of the entire school and when it was iinally presented, its fame was so wide- spread that the auditorium was packed at both showings. Bouquets to the tireless individ- uals, both in acting and producing fields!

Moreland, D. Carpenter, Poindexter, A. Parrott Summary of the Football Season Coach Mulvey's young, light, but fighting team finished seventh in the official record books. But to those who know good hard playing, they were up at the top. ln only one contest were they defeated by more than twelve pointsg and that defeat was only by fourteen points. They were out-weighed in every contest but never out-generaled. They were hampered by untimely casualties but always took the field eager to win. Every player was taxed of all his playing ability through constant changes and switches. The Red and White was one of the most feared teams in the league, and not without reason, twice it came within nine points of throwing teams out of the play-offs. Most of the players stayed in the games until exhaustedg others begged to be allowed to play. Every opponent that faced the Raider eleven expected fifty minutes of clean, rugged, and wide-open football, and they were never disappointed. COOLIDCE AT VVESTERN 0-lZ lnitiating the TH formation, the Raiders battled the big Coolidge team fiercely. Several times Western drove deep into enemy territoryg twice to the ten yard line. They were molested, however, by constant fumbles. The first Coolidge tallies came by way of a forward pass to Kiesgan. The other six pointer came via a recovered VVestern fumble. The heavy Coolidge eleven drove thirtyffive yards for the second score. All the remaining quarters favored VVestern, but lightness and fumbles thwarted the Raider attack. Backing a strong place kicker, Coolidge tried two pass conversions. Both were incomplete, however. ANACOSTIA AT ANACOSTIA 7-12 Besides losing a tough game, VVestern lost the services of halfback f'Doc O'Conn0r, who suffered a broken leg in the third quarter when tackling an opponent. lflarlicr in the game, O'Connor eeled downfield for Sl yards. ln the second half, Uinholtz of Anacostia heaved a touchdown pass to end Schroeder. Their second tally was set up by fullback Don Dinkins who plunged over from the Western four. Putting to use their passing talents, Paul Foster and Don Liehtv moved the team to the Anacostia ten. Foster then threw to Bill Botz for the onlv touch- downi Don Moreland added the extra point mere seconds before the game ended. ' 110 estern on e ridiron l'IAS'l'ERN A'l' EASTERN 7-16 ln spite of their four victories against no defeats, the Eastern Rainblers were no longer the dreaded powerhouse fcarcd throughout the interhigh circuit. 'l'l1e shifty Raider squad curbed the Rambler power for three quarters. l'1astcrn's first tally caine when Ierry Osborne intercepted a forward pass and dashed down the field for 45 yards. Later a Held goal was successful. In the last quarter, a Rainblcr lialfback fought his way through the entire VVestcrn team on an cud run. Both conversions were inade. NVcstcrn's only score cainc when Paul Foster threw a flat pass to Don Lichty who raced 50 yards for a touchdown. Don Moreland added the extra point. S'l'. IOIINS A'l' XVESTERN 18-2 Taking advantage of several breaks, the Raiders pushed back a fighting St. IOl1I1yS team. After guard Iack Recs blocked a punt deep in the Saints' territory, right end Iohn Anderson recovered the pigskin in the end zone for the first touchdown. Breaking through the line, Don Moreland blocked another punt shortly afterwards. 'l'ed Uhler scooped up the ball and seainpered 35 yards around right end to score standing up. A trio of Raider conversions were wide. Because of a bad pass from center, a Western back was trapped in the end zone, giving the Cadets two points. 'l'hc only player who troubled VVcstcrn at all was Harry O'Meara, whose accurate plunging and broken Held running accounted for most of St. Iohn's yardage. FIRST TEAM Front Row: IC. Ilenry, A.

ROOSEVELT AT VVESTERN l2-7 Sparked by Don Lichty's running and Ted Uhler's punting, VVestern shaded past the bulk of Roosevelt gridinen. ln the second quarter, Lichty returned a Rider's punt to the fifteen yard line. On the next play, Norman VVacker received an aerial in the end zone from quarterback Lichty. Later in the final period, Lichty brought the Raiders a score when he sprinted thirty yards to pay dirt. Both VVestern's extra point attempts were unsuccessful. The sole Rider tally carrie in the first period on a forty yard heave from Lou Liinber to Lehr VVyman. Fullback Ted Uhler got off several sixty yard punts, two of them going out behind the Roosevelt ten. TECH AT WESTERN 7-13 Surprising even the experts, YVestern was T cch's equal until the fourth quarter. Driving deep into Trainer territory in the first half, VVestern lacked that final scoring punch. Twice they either fumbled or lost the ball on downs. The VVestern defense, however, was superb and finished the half with no score against them. After the half-time rest. the giant Tech eleven began to move. They reached the Red five on four downs after taking the kick-off. From there, Andy Davis, who along with Cecil Gray spearheaded the Maroon campaign, went through tackle for the first score. The point after touchdown was not made, giving the Raiders a good chance for victory. Western received a golden opportunity when Dave Carpenter recovered an enemy fumble on Tech's fourteen. Lichty powered his way to the ten and then took a pass to the two-foot line. Bob Glasgow leaped across the goal-line stripe, and Moreland's pass to Iohn Beatty for the extra point put the Raiders in front. Tech retaliated, though, with a last minute spurt, and ran up seventy-two yards for another touchdown and Trainer win. CENTRAL AT XVESTERN 13-Z5 The Raiders played host to a driving Viking aggregation, led by all-high selection, Gene flammil, crashed through for a score. The conversion was good, giving the Blue and VVhite seven important points. Later in the same half, Hammil successfully bucked the line for a touchdown, but the conversion failed. On a kick-off return, the Raider backfield huddled and then spread over the field, making use of the hidden ball trick. Bob Pritchard raced the pigskin to the Central twelve. From there, Don Lichty passed to left end Iohn Beatty in the end zone. More- land's attempted pass conversion failed. Beginning the second half with a march from their own thirty, Ted Uhler capped the drive by a touchdown plunge. A good placement tied the game. Hammil scored twice after this, once in the third period and again in the closing minutes of play. ll2 D. Liehty and Beatty, Members 1 of All-High Team. VVILSON A'l' VVILSON 12-13 Although this game was the First on the Raider schedule, it was postponed because of inclement conditions, The Green Tigers, probably the most improved team in the circuit, won the right of a play-oft with liastern by defeating the spirited VVestern squad. The Raiders began the scoring with speedy Bob Glasgow, generally a fullback, switched to right end. Lichty heaved a thirty-five yard pass which Glasgow received and took to the VVilson one. Bob Pritchard broke the heavy Wilson line for the tally. Don Moreland's extra point attempt bounced oil the cross bar-the wrong way. ln the third quarter, Bob Leonard went fifty-Eve yards through the center of the line and tied up the game. VVilson's Rufus VVebb intercepted a pass deep in his territory and raced to the Red four. VViegand bucked the line for a score, and the all important extra point was made. A fine punt return and an aerial by Lichty brought the pigskin to the Green thirteen. 'l'he small Raider quarterback powered his way for a six-pointer, but the conversion was not made. Later. several staunch goal-line stands by Wilson prevented a Raider victory. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE September 28, XYestern U ......... .........

This season marked the first under the direction of Coach Fred Mulyey. Forming the nucleus of the squad were lack Castro, Richard Stockton. Ted Uhler, and Norman XVacker. The Raiders showed much enthusiasm and spirit, usually battling their opponents evenly until the closing minutes of play. But they lacked one of the essentials of championship ball experience. Fre- quently, their passes were broken up, thus stopping the offensiye. Their fight gained them many points, however, since they won most of the scrambles for the ball under the basket. Another element the Raiders lacked was height. Although their smallness added speed to the team. they were usually smaller than their opponents. therefore unable to intercept high passes or make pot shots without leaving the floor. Next year should be a different story, though. The old Raider iight will return plus that needed element: experience. XVESTERN VS.

Although this is only a pre-season sketch of the '46 campaign, it is intended to cover the team's weaknesses and strength. If experience iigures in the power of the '46 baseball squad, the Raiders can look forward to a successful season. The infield will be made up of a complete veteran staff. Nick Chanaka at first, Dick Taylor at second, Don Lichty playing short-stop, and Don Moreland on third looks like the starting infield. While in the left-Held position, lack Castro, with two years of experience behind him, will most likely till the job. Behind the plate, Don Strain will undoubtedly render his services. Don has one year behind him and another ahead of him. The pitching staff seems to have suffered more than any other group. With the loss of All-High hurler, Gene Gould, and lanky Dave Prior, this department reeks with greenness, but shows real determination. lack Falk, Hoss Hostettler, Bob MacMillan, and Poochie Negri are all prospects for mound work. Coach Moore's hopes are raised, however, by the enrollment of Iohn Foke in Western. Foke pitched line ball for the Boys' Club team last year and has unlimited possibilities. Batting power seems to be another problem. The only returnees who wielded heavy bats last season are Nick Chanaka and lack Castro. All that will be needed to spark this ball club to victory, however, is the addition of a few good batters and pitching prowess.

So it looks as if we are on an even level with the rest. Mr. Lehr is still shoulder-shrugging in answer to questions about the track outlook. Ile has quite a number of hopefuls, but he is waiting until the track practice starts to find out who's who. We just have to wait and see. 'l'hc intramural, which was tried out so successfully again last year, is planned for this year, too, with some additions. Besides having the participation of every boy in the school, all of the girls will also be in the meet. 'l'lie rest of the season looks hopeful but uncertain. l9-li TRACK TPIAM ' First Row: Green. L.

How- ever, amid niueh groaning and protest, the gals slaved away at squat thrusts and half swans until they began to get into the swing of things. Eventually, joints creaked only once instead of three times with each squat, and only two girls instead of four were carried off the gym floor to the infirmary at the end of every class. lt is not to be supposed, however, that the girls are the only ones who suffer, their teachers come in for a large share of it too. Has anyone ever seen Mrs. Angle trying, and l stress the word Htryingf' to walk up the stairs after a particularly strenuous day? ln addition to the gruelling work of calisthenics and the conventional sports, VVestcrn lasses have received some very excellent training in 'Aswing yore pardner and Hdosifdo g that's right, good old fashioned square dancing. lt's truly an unforgettable sight to watch about six sets on the floor following the calls with perfect timing and synchronization-well, anyhow, almost perfect. Everything usually goes beautifully until the call allemand left, and a grand right and left. At this point, the floor is in state of absolute confusion, with each girl searching vainly for her partner who by this time is probably on the other side of the I'OO1H. But who minds a little mixup? lt's all in fun. Come on girls uallemand left and- left, not right! Oh well! 122 Some members of the Archery Club.

During the warm days of fall fand some that wercn't so warml, regular class- tirne was spent in perfecting the good old sport of hockey. At the conclusion of the season, the most skillful girls were chosen from each class and given fifty of the necessary one lnmdred points for a letter. 'l'hey were also supposed to represent VVest- ern in a hockey play day, but this was cancelled because of bad weather. V0 lleyhall Under the same system of organization as hockey, volleyball has occupied classtimc instead of being offered after school. Iimpliasis has been placed upon skills such as net volley, set-ups, serving, and wall volley. After weeks of practice in class and a set of play ods between the teams of different classes, the best players were chosen from each class. Each of the girls thus chosen were given fifty points toward a WV. 'l'hose who had already received fifty points for hockey were now eligible for a letter. Under this new system, many girls who never could play after school were able to receive a letter. I . ff? : a We Archery The archery team, coached by Miss Ilouchen, has worked hard all fall on the fine points that make up a really good archer. Such skills as posture, stance, and the tcclmique of holding an arrow are some of the things our aspiring young Robin lloods have learned. Instead of limiting its activities to the fall, the Archery Club will meet again in the spring as soon as the weather permits outdoor prac- tice. A fine and enthusiastic group of girls has turned out this year. lIere's hoping everyone of them finishes the spring season a perfect archer and a dead shot. Ilere's to more bulls eyes, girls! Top: lloekey Team. Bottom: Volleyball 'l'eam. Track Basketball Basketball, this year, has been organized under the same system as it was last. There are two teams, the Red under Miss llouchen, which meets Mondays, and the VVhite under Mrs. VVade, which meets VVednesdays, In turn, these teams are com- posed of a number of smaller ones. After practicing pivots, shooting baskets, and guarding, the teams in which sophomores, juniors, and seniors are equally divided, will play a round robin tournament. The enthusiasm of the girls for basketball has not really been equalled by any other sport. Not only do they practice diligently every week, they spend time in the morning before school practicing skills. As a result, they are becoming fast and skillful players, Swimmin VVith membership standing at about forty girls, the Swimming Club, under the able guidance of Mrs. Wade, has been a great success. Its members meet Wednesdays and swim at the Y.W.C.A. As well as swimming for recreation, the girls are obtain- ing beneiits that will always be valuable to them. During the fall and spring months, they are in- structed in form and diving. In the winter, they work hard at life-saving. At the end of each season a swimming meet is held. In this meet, the mem- bers of the club have an opportunity to compete in such events as swimming for form, the crawl, side stroke, elementary back stroke, and the breast stroke. The winners of these events receive points toward a letter. BASKETBALL CAPTAINS Standing: Mary Coloduey, Alice YVhitc, Estelle llostettler.

I truly appreciate the privilege and honor of commanding the Fourth Regiment, Western High School Cadet Corps. I am deeply grateful to Major Charles Cravens of the First Battalion, Major VVilliam Moore of the Second Battalion, Captain Don Hariner ot Company H, Captain Hoyt Vandenburg of Company L, Captain David Styles of Company K, Captain Richard Mehan of Company G, Captain Alfred Pride of the Band, and to all other oflicers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Fourth Regiment for their unqualiiied and wholehearted support. It was this spirit that enabled Western to be the only high school in the city to be represented by a regiment in spite of the fact that the number of men in the companies was enlarged. Under the guidance of Captain Paul S. Pitcher, our military instructor, who has won the admiration of everyone, we are assured of a banner year for the cadets of Western High School. I am also very appreciative of the excellent work of Miss Margaret Taylor, of the faculty, in conducting Western's Cadet Post Exchange. Win or lose, through ha 'work and application to tasks, we shall make a showing this year consistent with the traditi iguilt up at Western by Winning the company competitive for five consecutive y ars s IQ 'inning more than our share of honors in the regimental, battalion, and lD3Tl P6 I Q?

Thornton Martin First Lt. lack Green Staff OHicer The First Battalion, Fourth Regiment, has carried on this year in its inevitable style. The Battalion has always stood for winning companies and esprit de corps. I am sure that the Battalion will carry on, as in the past, to victory. I wish to extend my thanks and admiration to my company commanders, Captains Harmer and Vandenburg and their ofticers and men for their wholehearted cooperation and help in the training of the Battalion. To my staff, I can't give adequate recognition. Without these otlicers, who receive little notice, the Battalion would cease to function. The advice and instruction of Captain Pitcher has been an inspiration to all of us. From commanding the First Battalion, I have gained spirit, knowledge, and friendships that will remain with me the rest of my life. MAJOR CHARLES R. CRAVENS 130 , .

Charles Iacobs Stall Oflicer Staff Officer As I reminisce over my three years in the Cadet Corps, I think of all the opportunities and training the Corps has given me. I have been thoroughly trained in the sterling qualities of obedience and leadership. These qualities are one and inseparable in our modern way of life. I know that this training will be invaluable to me in later life. It gives me great pride to know that the men of the Second Battalion have worked long and diligently toward the goal of first place in the battalion competitive. I appreciate this immensely and will always remember their honest efforts. I would also like to commend Captain Styles of K Company and Captain Mehan of G Company in preparing for the battalion parade. I also wish both companies the best of luck in the comingcompany competitive. My able assistants, Lieutenants Neighbors, Zirple, Robinson, and Iacobs and Sergeants West and Sulton, in preparing for the battalion parade, receive my sincere gratitude and thanks for their diligent work. No matter what place we take in the battalion competitive this year, I will know that every cadet in the battalion had done his best to win. This will be ample compensation for me.

The memories of service in the Cadet Corps and in H Company will remain long' after other memories of high school have faded. The honor of placing iirst in a company competitive will stand above all others as one of the greatest honors ever achieved. The first place button and ribbon are one's most treasured possessions. The oflieers and men of H have worked hard all year for the chance of winning the competitive. We worked with L Company under the able direction of Captain Vandenburg for the battalion competition.

Throughout the year, I have been deeply impressed by the spirit of the men, from the privates on np, and by their determination to work to a successful result. I appreciate keenly the orderly and efficient instruction rendered by the non-commissioned oilicers and by my two lieutenants in accomplishing this.

Enlistment quotas had been raised, and C, the last company formed, would have been the iirst to go. Fortunately, nothing like this happened. Although Company C has not won much in its nineteen years of existence, its spirit and iight has always been tops. Always one of the hardest working companies, C seems to have a jinx when it reaches the competitive field. It is the hope- of every oflicer, non-com, and private in C that this year we will reach what so many oflicers and men have striven for in past years- first place.

Due to this cooperation, the band has been an important factor in the shaping of the entire Fourth Regiment, and in giving the companies that extra lift necessary for an outstanding performance. I feel extremely grateful to Mr. Nicodemus who has worked unceasingly to produce a band which would live up to the illustrious title of the Fourth Regiment. And I would also like to thank the men over whom I have had the pleasure to serveg they have made this year an out- standing one in my memory.
