So it is now that we look back over the school year 1952, and we remember the accomplishments and the experiences, sinall and large, which always will be a part of us. It has been a fine year for Western and for us individually, and a year of many successes in varied fields. This year, more than ever before, a Westerner has had a wide choice of studies, activities, and sports. It is with this thought in mind, the scope and breadth of this year's accomplishments, that we have striven to record the year in this, your 1952 WESTERNER. TABLE Opening Section .......

COLONEL GEORGE ALLEN HAWKINS, JR. 1897-1951 lin ilillemuriam HlVlAY 1 say that tradition is a priceless thing, if it is the proper kind of tradition. It can be secured only by years of constant struggle and perseverance. It can be maintained only at the cost of everlasting vigil- ance. You and I have that asset here at Westerri. Let's dedicate our- selves to guarding and fostering itfl The preceding paragraph was written by Colonel Hawkins when he came to Westerii in 1938. He pledged himself therein to constant perseverance in upholding the traditions of the Westerri Cadets, namely excellence in drill and military science. lt has been evident to all who have known him that the Colonel not only preserved these traditions, but also greatly expanded them. During his eleven years of service here, Western placed first in nine annual battalion drills and seven company competitives. This is a record without parallel in the history of the Corps, and it is direct evidence of the extreme vigor and efliciency of the Colonel as a military instructor. He has left an impression of sincere admiration and respect on all who knew him, and it is with deepest regret that we mark his untimely passing. TO THE GRADUATES OF 1952 YOUR X'VESTIiRNER staff has asked me to write a few paragraphs on the topic, How Vtfestern Contributes to the Making of the Mfell- Rounded Individual, which is, I understand, the general theme of the 1952 edition. This, it seems to me, should not be very dif- ficult. Let us start by look- ing at the school's basic educational philosophy. You have studied, I am sure, about The Human- ities and how, during the Renaissance,theI-Iumanists revived the ancient learn- - l ings, embellished them, 1 preserved them, and passed I them down to modern H V Q V V A tilncgi chu. Colleges accept- NAlHANIl'.L A. IlAlNOHSlxY, PTlII!'1f1Ill ed them, included them in their curriculums, and de- manded from the preparatory school graduates a basic knowledge of the fundamentals so that they could make an easy transition from the lower school to the university level. About this time, between hfty and seventy-five years ago, the standard, four-year, secondary school course was developed. lt contained the study of onc's native tongue, foreign languages, science, history, and mathematics. XVestern accepted this philosophy upon its founding sixty-two years ago, and through the long years of its illustrious history, has held to the premise that the doctrine is sound and that it contributes to the well-rounded individual. Through the intervening years, however, the school has added many possible electives-art, music, mechanical drawing, speech, military train- ing, physical education, home nursing, printing, sewing, and cooking. Despite this moderniza- tion, Western has always emphasized strongly its academic training and recommended only a judicious mixture of the newer subjects. ' Regardless of how short such a write-up must necessarily be, it cannot be complete without some mention of extra-curricular activities. No conscientious and ambitious student should be without some training in the democratic self-government that is given in these eminently worth- while, school-sponsored organizations. To overlook this field offerings is to be like a prospector who fails to Hnd the nuggets about him because he is always looking beyond the hills, or at the far horizon, for the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yes, the well-rounded indi- vidual will have some experience in the various student clubs where a trained Faculty Adviser is always ready to help, counsel, and direct the thinking of the group. This, the school's doctrine and philosophy, we believe is sound. About thirty-five per cent of you will enter some kind of gainful employment immediately after graduation. Approxi- mately sixty-Hve per cent will enroll in colleges or other institutions of higher learning. That you are well-grounded in the fundamentals of learning, and well-rounded as individuals, will be attested by your success. Fortuitous events also will help. But wherever you go, the Spirit of YN'estern will follow you, will be proud of you, will welcome you back. Hitch your wagon to the Stars! Some one has said, 'Alt is better to experience high failure than low successf, Do not, there- fore, ....... lose 1116 good you of! nziglif win, By fearing lo nflcfnptf Sincerely yours, NAT'HANlEL A. Daxowskv SPEAKING of the schools of Virginia in l82l, Thomas efferson said, Let us keep our eyes steadily on the whole system. This philosophy of an educa- tional system is just as sound for NVestern today, as it was for the Commonwealth of Virginia one-hun- dred and thirty-one years ago. So, in the development of a well-rouncled in- dividual, let us keep our eyes steadily on the whole system. In so doing, we must examine many facets in our educational program: the adequacy of the physical plant, the quality of the instruction, the breadth of the curriculum, and the opportunity provided for the development of good citizenship. The many extra-curricular activities in the school program are built upon the broad principle that the school is a laboratory for citizenship in the preparation of a student for membership in a democracy. In a well integrated program, the cur- ricular and the extra-curricular activities are mu- tually complementary so that there is a reciprocal relationship between the program and the product. The success with which XfVestern achieves these MR- ROBERT 5- A-ANDERSON objectives rests with its graduates in the challenge 45S'5f f P WPal democracy poses for promoting a world citizen- ship worthy of its heritage. ROBERT ,ANDERSON As ANOTHER school year comes to a close, our thoughts will inevitably turn to the events of this year, and we welcome the record, in pictures and in words, which the X'VEST1iRN1iR provides for us. For each YVestern group such a retrospect will recall individual experiences, memories of happy occasions and of some perhaps less happy, which are their own unique heritage. There is the first school dance, and others which followedg the football games and cadet drillsg the friendships formed and good times shared, the accomplishments and even the failures. All these and more were indelibly written in the hearts of each VVestern studentg but in the years to come the record in the X'VEsTERNER will make them. come alive again, the men and women of tomorrow review the activities of the school year l95l-1952. For you who are students at YVestern High School, the YVESTERNER, in years to come, will lead you back to these happy student days when the YVestern-Roosevelt basketball game was a thrilling experience, or when the judges' decision on the Competitive Drill Field held everyone spell- bound for what seemed an interminably long time. It may recall for you classroom experiences and the wide range of opportunities offered to you there. It may remind you that it was at Wlestern you learned to show good sportsmanship in the face of victory or defeat, and received the guidance and encouragement which helped you build fine char- acters in your mature years. As the Editors of this volume have so well expresed it in the Foreward, it may remind you of the acomplishments and the experiences, small and large, which will always be a part of you. As you enjoy the Present, perhaps you could more surely guarantee an even greater enjoyment in the Future, if you would strive to make all of Today's activities something to be proud to look back upon Tomorrow.

The student body has been aware of their everpresent inlluence both in the classroom and in outside activities. i Never let it be said that XVestern's teachers are not right up to date in their courses. Mr. Struble, science teacher, has exemplified this fact. In order that he might be well versed on the latest developments in his field, he spent last summer attending Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology on a science lellowship. ln the Cadet Corps, the new military instructor, Lieutenant Hayes, has seen military service since lflfll. He spent two years in France, Belgium, and Germany. This year, Lt. Hayes succeeded in almost doubling the corps enrollment, which had been dropping steadily in recent years. A number ol' new courses were added this yearg among them is a records class, ably taught by Miss Nell Bass, and driver's training, under the direction of Mr. Milton Sarris, a new member ol ol' our laculty, who has played a great part in impressing upon our students the importance ol sale driving. Dr. Maud lNIcl'herson, who retired last June. wrote us that she was enjoying the summer visiting missions, art colonies, and colleges in the XVest. She returned to Waslringtcmii during the lirst semester and visited X'Vestern at Christmas. 4 xl 'X l fr- i its . 4. 17A f - f , Q-X, an c . Lt. Robert T. Hayes Miss Muriel N. Hoover Mrs, Cecelia N.

Miss Knox is an experienced and enthusiastic Girl Scout leader. In the summer of 1949, she accom- panied hfty American Girl Scouts on a European KOLIIZ At present, she is a counselor in U. camps, and spends her summers in Girl Scout work. Aside from teaching. many members of the faculty spend their spare time in pursuit of their various hobbies. For instance. Mrs. lVade is a floral enthusiast and has won many ribbons and prizes for unusual and lovely designs. The sisters in our faculty, Mrs. Kirk and Miss Taylor, used many of their spare hours in restoring an old home in Charlottesville, Virginia. This year. a faculty committee was formed to obtain and plan a memorial window honor- ing 'Westerns war dead. Miss Taylor was chairman of the group, through whose efforts the memorial will be installed early next spring. 4? Mrs. Mary B.

Charlotte Yates, Peggy Busick, Louise Rushton, Nancy Tyson, Peter Deuel, Marion Fischer, Shirley Guenthner, Lenore Gordon, and Marian Testa have been members of the Breeze Staff, and Charles Coleman, Mary Louise Rushton, Lynette Peters, and Peggy Busick have helped in compiling the 1952 WESTERNER. Sue Fryer brought honor to the school by placing among the top four in the national I Speak for Democracy contest. In view of their accomplishments, it is evident that the Senior Class of 1953 will be an outstanding one. 40 WV. Chase E. Chin N. Clevenger L. Clipp XV. Conover L. Copeland L. Corder R. Couse T.

Zervos The Sophomore Class THE Newcoivrrzizs to Weste1'n this year were not long finding their places in school activities and many have made commendable records. A number of the Sophomore Class joined the Choral Groupg Cyanne Han- son's solo in the Christmas Pageant was very enjoyable. Answering an urgent need for blood donors for the nation's fighting men, Millicent Reynolds and Lois Chapman worked for the American Red Cross Blood Bank Association this year. Helping in the publication of the 1952 WEsTERNER were Billy Bush and Larry Spencer, who did much of the photographic work, and Sue Bevans, Doris Brodt, and Lois Chapman, who assisted in preparation of the copy. Another very significant achievement was made by Michael Gering, who took top honors in Western's American Legion Oratorical Contest with his excellent speech on Freedom Defined. The Cadets received many new additions from the Sophomore Class. With their continued support Western will be able to maintain a large Cadet Corps. The Class of 1954 has made a brilliant start at Western. With their con- tinued good work, we may look forward to a successful future for this class. 44 E. Aderton A. Akerman S. Alexander BI.

How do you get to room 3057 These are just a few comments heard after the opening of school on Septem- ber 12. Newcomers to Ulestern were officially wel- comed at the Orientation Assembly. Faculty and student speakers gave a brief preview of life at X'Vestern. Soon the newness of the hrst few days wore off, and every student, new or old, was ready to settle down to routine. The first Home and School Association meeting, held on October 3, gave parents a chance to become acquainted with the teach- ers. Many students, especially sophomores, at- tended this event with their parents. The football season, with its pep assemblies and many exciting moments, got into full swing with the first crisp winds of fall. Friday football games were keenly anticipated by everyone. Gradually, clubs held their first meetings of HIGH the school year and elected officers. The Drama Club set right to work and presented Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at an assem- bly on November 2. Margaret Herrold as Viola, Gayla April as the clown, Holly O'Con- nor as Lady Olivia, and Bob Barash as Sir Toby Belch were four outstanding perform- ers. The antics of the clown were especially enjoyed by all. On November 20, the annual Thanksgiv- ing Assembly was held, with sections donating money and baskets of food for the needy. The Y-Teens made a very impressive donation by giving five bushels of canned foods. After the rush of the Thanksgiving holi- days, club pictures were taken for the XVIQST- ICRNI-IR under the direction of Clubs Editor, Maxine Coleman. YVith pictures running on a strict schedule, students were leaving classes at all times to be on time for a certain picture. The day was a busy one with many staff mem- bers assisting the photographer. LIGHTS The February Seniors held their elections and chose as president. Tom Turco: vice- president. Astrid Carlson: secretary, Sarah McXutt: and treasurer, Tom Topping. The sound of Christmas music could be heard resounding throughout the halls of lYestern long before the gay holiday season began. Yes, the Choir was preparing songs for its Christmas performances. Besides practicing for the Christmas Pageant, a well-loved tradi- tion at XYestern, our songsters also prepared a selection of Christmas carols to sing over radio station 'WMAL at Jim Gibbons Coun- try Store. Eileen Pardo sang a beautiful solo, L'Silent Night, on this radio program. XVhen the February Seniors decorated the big Christmas tree in the main lobby, all XYesternites knew that the Christmas Season was here at last. Alumni roaming throughout the halls lent an air of nostalgia. The Christ- mas Pageant took place on Friday, December 21. The beautiful tableaux and the excellent choral reading during the religious portion of the Pageant were some of the best ever. In the second half of the program, lVestern's new faculty members were introduced to the as- sembly and were presented gifts as a sort of formal initiation to XYestern. Then the alumni greeted everyone from the stage. Homework and classes were soon forgotten that evening as the HH , Clubs' Snowball Dance got under way. Vacation days sped by and January 2 came around almost too quickly. The Hrst event of the post-holidays was the choosing of eight girls for next year's cheerleading team. Of the fifty girls who turned out for the first tryouts in November the best had to be selected. The eight new cheerleaders pictured are: Left to right-Peggy XVard, Louise Rushton, Helen Caskie, Lillian Menne, Sharon Stokes, Sue Hoffman, Mary Dodson, and Pat De-Ioy. The Quartet Assembly, sponsored by the Student Council, was especially enjoyed by everyone. Many practice sessions were held in order to make a good performance. The in- strumental quartet, composed of Jack Coch- rane, Quin Elson, Tom Virnelson, and Dick Zern gave a terrific performance, as usual. This quartet has played lor many events this year. Time came again lor Student Council elec- tions. Many girl contenders were noticed and for once, girls were elected to three high ol- fices. Melic-ent Rupp, with her challenging speech, was elected president and Gloria Steinem, vice-president. Sharon Stokes was our new secretary and Aloe Matusek, our treasurer. All too quickly Miclyear Graduation time and its events came around. The Senior Prom was held at Scott's Hotel with many students supporting and attending the dance. Miss Muriel Hoover, section teacher, gave the grad- uates a unique fare-well party. The final event ol' senior activities, graduation, was held on January 31. Astrid Carlson was class Vale- clictorian with Charles Nichols as Saluta- torian. The Air Force Band entertained us on the afternoon ol February 7. Since music assem- blies are among the most popular at XVestern, everyone enjoyed the musical routines of this very versatile band. Valentine Bundle Day, an old custom, brought in scads ol old clothes to be recon- HIG ditionecl for the less fortunate. Many unusual skits were presented in order to bring clothes on the stage in a unique way. The XfV1isT- ERNER section took this opportunity for some extra advertising and spelled out the year- book's name by means ol bent coat hangers with old clothes tied on them. On February 28 the Phi Beta Rho Assem- bly was held, with Dean Elmer Louis Kayser of George YN-'asliington University giving an address to the student body. Students on the honor roll for five semesters, four ol them at Xtlestern, are eligible lor membership. The three days before XfVashington's birth- day holidays saw many activities, including Open House in the XVi3sT1-1RNi-:R Ollice. Open House was held in order to acquaint the stu- dents with the activities of the XVI-1sT1zRNER section. Subscriptions were taken, and each day one name was picked from the new sub- scribers. This lucky person won a prize. From LIGHTS the Sophomores, Barbara Hall won. She was presented her gift by Allen Robnett, Business Manager. On Thursday evening, February 21, the Cadet Ball was held in the Girls' Gym. Meli- Cent Rupp reigned as queen- with Gloria Steinem and Peggy 1Vard as her princesses. Having reached their membership goal of 100, the Cadets had good reasons to celebrate in a big way. The Corps in their full dress lent a romantic air to the whole affair. Student Day, held on Tuesday, March 4, gave 1Vestern's administrative stalls and fac- ulty a chance to sit back, for once, and watch the students bravely trying to take their places. The day was really an experience for everyone and made the students appreciate more the work of their teachers. Senior elections were completed on March 26 after two days of preliminary elections and ballots. Elected to lead the senior class were 1 1 1 Phil Leder, presidentg Gloria Steinem, vice- presidentg Peggy Smith, secretaryg and Jack Gerns, treasurer. The Spring Play, Stardust , was presented by the Drama Club on April 3 and 4 in the auditorium. This three-act comedy, a satire on a conception of the drama, was enjoyed by everyone. Prudence, the main role, was ably and effectively played by Holly O1Connor.

Mfith Senior Class meetings being held and college acceptances being received, we realized that time was coming soon for us to take leave of VVestern. As clubs were giving farewell par- ties, yearbooks were handed out, the Senior Prom was held, and finally graduation, both a sad and happy day, was held, we knew our days at vVestern had come to an end. Here's hoping we may see each other at the alumni meeting at Christmas. VVho knows, the Class of 1952 may have a reunion in 1984!

Those students who had been listed on the Honor Roll for five semesters were eligible this year for Phi Beta Rho, the Xllestern scholastic honor society. Sponsored by Miss Richmond, the society has sought to provide interesting activities for its members, such as trips to the Naval Observatory and the Bureau of Standards. Several parties were given for the members, and at the mid-year induction assembly, Dean Elmer Louis Kayser, of George Mfashington University, spoke to the student body.

Miss Maria Neuffer Efforts of the XYrQsTr,kxiiR Staff members have been turned towards printing a yearbook which presents a lull. vivid record ol sthool life this year. In striving for this goal, the Literary' Staff members have worked many hours in taking pictures, writing, drawing, typing, and assem- bling the material in the form in which you now read it. Results of innovations on their part may be seen in the arrangement of the book: extra pages of pietures, and undergraduate pictures taken at sebool by a professional photographer. Members of the Business Staff have sold subscrip- tions, solicited advertisements, and kept the aetounts in order that the book might be a hnaneial sucecess. They haye athieved the fine retord of selling books to about three-quarters of the school and ol rereiving many advertisements from business firms. The whole staff hopes that the book will recall for you-ey en alter many years-a elear picture of this year at XVestern. WESTER ER BREEZE The llv?SfFl'7I Breeze, the school newspaper, provides an outlet for those who are journalis- tically inclined. It acquaints the student with his schoolmates, through interviews: and with school actiyities. through news and sports stories: and with teenagers' feelings on varied subjects, through editorials. In the Everzizzg Shir Scholastic M'riting Contest, the following members of the Breeze staff won awards in the journalism classification: Dick Sincofl, a gold key and five certificates for sports writing: Dorothy Collins and Ned Bright, each a certificate for feature writingg and Dorothy Collins and Louise Rushton, each a certificate for editorial writing. Despite the fact that Miss Myrtle Bray, the stall adviser, was out for seyeral months with a back injury. the Stall was able to continue functioning bceause of the fine training received under her teaching. The Staff is grateful to those who assisted during Miss Bray's absence-especially to Mrs. Ruth L. Xyilson. substitute for Miss Bray. Yyestern is proud of the Fine record the Breeze maintains in the journalistic held. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association has giyen the Breeze a Medalist rating for three consec- utive years and the National Scholastic Press Asociation. the All-American rating for eight years.

L ois I-Ioeck lVhenever a job neds to be done at Xllestern, Mr. Danowsky invariably calls upon the Y- Teens. This girls' organization, which is aililiated with the Young VVomen's Christian Associa- tions, has been an active part of X'Vestern for many years. Until a few years ago the organization was called the Girl Reserves. This club serves to promote friendship among many girls. By entertaining the cadets at a party and dance, the members have made many more acquaintances which help contribute to a well-rounded personality. Collecting canned goods for charity at Halloween, selling Christmas seals, and entertaining orphaned children at Christmas have given the Y-Teen members a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment and has won for them a real Y - TEENS place in community life. DRAM CL B The Drama Club at Mlestern is now virtually a tradition. For many years the club has made a significant contribution to the welfare of the students who have participated in its activities. This is true primarily because the Drama Club does more perhaps than any other organization to develop self-confidence and poise in the student. This development the members consider their major function. They endeavor also to encourage and promote interest in the theatre. By presenting their productions to the student body, they hope that they have brought into the school life some measure of entertainment and diversion. , President .... .....

The Club also provides an opportunity for the members to enjoy activities with people ol' their own ages and interests. The programs of the club, which have included an audience- participation quiz, teclinicolor films, and a talent show, give a very vivid picture of the life, history, and geography ol' Latin'American countries. ANISH CLUB FRE CH By presenting monthly programs that help to explain more fully the French life and culture, the French Club helps the student become well-rounded and aware of another country's civiliza- tion. Skits done in French are popular at every meeting, which give the student a chance to act and speak in French before a group. Talent shows, French films, and native French speakers are but a few of the club's diversions. President .... .... V irginia Kraemer M 7 4 Y Vice-President .... .........

The members are not just onlookers, many of the demonstrations are put on by the students.

The school is very fortunate to have an excellent music instructor, Mr. Harmon Nicodemus, and a well-organized singing group. Chosen for their musical ability, their voices, and their reliability, the members strive to present effective musical productions to the students each year. Talented musicians are given a chance to render solos in various performances. Performing before an audience is often a major factor in helping a pupil decide to follow a professional career. ,v z ,1 First Rout: Gloria Padler, Marthe Durand, Ruth Fisher, Sue Fryer, Peggey Dodge, Peter Deuel, Doris Schwier, Pat XVatkins, Vivian Smallwood, Beverly XVallace, Phyllis Saffell, Ann MacLeod.

Popular demand for after-school archery practice helped to formulate this club. Members improve their skills, pre- pare for competitive shooting, and participate in keen competition in this club, which meets in both the fall and the spring. Since archery is a sport that can be continually developed in later life, it is one of everlasting value to its enthusiasts.

XVestern lans are looking forward to a more experienced squad next year and have hopes of conung up TN1Il1 a successlul season. 85 af' fi 2,915 MECHANICSBURG 26 YVESTERN 6 In their first outing of the year, X'Vestern traveled to Mechanicsburg, Pa., to take on the local high school. The experienced home team quickly took charge of the game as John Bricker passed 27 yards to Roger Hoke for a score. A few plays later, Jim Browning, the offensive star of the game, passed to Bob Eckert for the XN7ildcat's second tally. Browning scored the last two touchdowns on runs of 17 and 2 yds. Although the Raiders were outclassed and out- played, a few bright spots appeared for them in the form of punts by Howard Jenkins and Wfayne August. Billy Richardson scored from 2 yards out for the Big Red, and jim Bakhtiar was the standout on defense. XNESTERN 34 CHAMBERLAIN 0 In their second game of the season and their first inter-high clash, Western was matched with an under- manned Chamberlain squad, and the Red and White romped 34-0. Billy Richardson started the scoring parade with a thrilling 62 yard end run in the first period. In the second quarter, Arnie Scribner passed 30 yards to Wayne August to give Western a 13-0 halftime lead. Early in the third period, Bakhtiar re- covered a fumble and raced across the goal for anoth- er score. Western's remaining scores were gained on a pass from Roger Turner to August and on a plunge by George Hervey from two yards out. EASTERN 14 WESTERN 0 Looking for their second interhigh win, The Raid- ers played host to the defending champions and this year's favorite, Eastern. The game was a close one, right down to the wire, with Western losing valuable chances to score. The Western line played good ball, and, led by Bakhtiar, Henry Brown, and Phil Leder, they were able to bottle up the Eastern backs in good fashion. Brown was the standout on defense, recover- ing two fumbles and playing the entire first half. Eastern first drew blood in the second quarter when Bill Hunter intercepted a Turner pass and ran 63 yards for a score behind brilliant downfield blocking. COOLIDGE 21 WESTERN 12 After suffering a defeat at the hands of Eastern, the Big Red hoped to get back in winning form when they entertained Coolidge on October 12. In the first quarter, climaxing a sustained drive, Arnie Scribner passed to VVayne August for six yards and a touch- down. However, the lead was short lived, as Coolidge went in front in the second period on a 47 yard pass from Bill McCoy to Fred Sheppard. Coolidge scored twice more to counteract VVestern's final tally in the third period, when Scribner passed again, this time yards to Jack Gerns for the six points! 86 ROOSEVELT 12 XVESTERN 0 Led by Bill Smith and Phil Perlo, the Rough Rid- ers defeated XVestern on Roosevelt's Held 12-0. The game was a close, hard fought one and neither team scored until Roosevelt broke the ice in the first few minutes of the final period. The two teams battled scorelessly in the first half and the game was un- usually even. But in the second half, the Raiders couldn't get going and Roosevelt took over. In the final quarter, the Riders' 15-year-old quarterback, Phil Perlo, scored on a quarterback sneak from the half foot line after he, Smith, and Larry Nardinoc- chi had engineered the drive downfield. Later in the same period Nardinocchi ran ten yards with a pitch- out from Perlo for Roosevelt's second score. Western's line, led by Bakhtiar and Brown, played well, but their offense was stopped practically cold. FAIRFAX 13 YVESTERN 6 In a night game at the home field of Fairfax, the Fairfax eleven and Red Raiders clashed in a thrilling football game. Fairfax scored first on the initial play of the second period when Skinny Saffer passed to George Stover on a play that covered 13 yards. How- ever, on the kickoff, Bob Govan gathered the ball in and took off on a 72 yard romp right up the middle to knot the score at 6-6. Early in the third period, the Rebels marched from their own 27 to the Raiders' end zone. Jimmy Xvatkins was the backbone of the offense, carrying the ball time after time and reeling off impressive gains. Salfer, who played excellent ball for the victors throughout the season, was stopped cold by the Raider forward wall. Western's trouble was weakness in pass receiving. Nevertheless the Big Red played one of their best games of the year, and the issue was in doubt all the way. WVESTERN 7 ANACOSTIA 0 In their final game of the year, Western traveled across the river to Anacostia. On Western's first play from scrimmage, Jack Gerns dashed through the right side of the line and carried 54 yards to the Anacostia four. Three plays later, Ronnie Sheppard hit the middle of the line and the Raiders were on the score- board after just two minutes of the first half. Jim Bakhtiar kicked the extra point. Anacostia threatened late in the first half when Gene Gruglin passed to Bob Smith on VVestern's four-yard line. However, time ran out, and the Big Red remained in the lead. The rest of the game featured no outstanding action, as neither team could get under way on the muddy turf. The game was played during a steady downpour, and the teams played to practically empty stands. XVith a victory in their last game, the YA7estern eleven ended with a two win, five loss record. 87 4 .41 .f -4, ,. 'i f-7 f i x ! ,, m y P . ' f ' ' -A 1' ,. -'! ',.- -fl,'. f f'a. A .jg , K .- V. .

Selected from the Raider Five for the all-High interhigh team was Jim XfVex1er, who had a great year averaging 18.5 points a game, which was second only to Tech's Snookie Kernan. Arnie Scribner received All-High recognition for his fine play during the year as he finished third in the inter- high scoring race. Returning from last year's varsity were johnny Klar, who was selected team captain, Bob Govan, Dick Sellers, and Arne Scribner. Coming up lrom last year's V. were Jay Stanton, Jim VVex1er, Pete Barr, Bruce McKeithan, Jim Scrivner, Ernie Rullner, and Mickey Meinke. Denis Xllhittaker came to us from Florida this year, while .lim Fowler moved up to the varsity during the season to replace Dick Sellers, a February graduate. Although the Raiders didn't win the championship, the XVestern fans appreciate the ellorts made by the players and Mr. Moore throughout the season. 89 TECH 70 XVESTERN -14 XVestern's initial interhigh basketball game was played against Tech in the Trainers' gym on january 4. McKinley, last year's champs, won 70--14. Utilizing the fast break, the Trainers were not to be denied as they played their usual great game. Stan Kernan, Tech's all-high forward, scored 23 points in the first half but was used sparingly in the second and ended with 29. Until the end of the half, the game was close, but then Tech pulled away. Arnie Scribner scored 15 for the Raiders and was followed by Jim XVex1er and johnny Klar with 13 and ll. XVestern played a good game, but like many other teams was unable to stop the high scoring Maroons. COOLIDGE 58 XVESTERN 56 In a thrilling game played at the Tech gym, the Coolidge Colts defeated the Big Red by 2 points, 58-56.

Although the Raiders lost, the highlight of the game was X'Vexler's brilliant playing as he scored 26 points. Late in the game XVexler and Klar fouled out, which probably cost the Raiders a victory. YVESTERN 69 BELL 35 Both teams seeking their first interhigh win, Bell and NVestern clashed on January 18 at Tech. XVestern finally got going and they had no trouble with the Bell quint, winning 69-35. Coach Moore cleared the bench, as every player saw action. Vlexler and Scribner led the scoring parade with 19 each but both were removed early in the fourth quarter. It was XVestern's 6rst interhigh victory and their fourth in seven games. XVESTERN 38 ANACOSTIA 33 Seeking their second win in a row, the Raiders met the Red and Blue from Anacostia and won handily 38-33. After nearly losing a 20-8 margin in the second quarter, the Reds pulled away and took the low scoring decision. Arnie Scribner led both teams by far in the scoring department as he rolled up 21 points and played a fine all-around game. Both YVexler and Scribner played well under the boards as the Raiders put on a third period surge to wrap the game up. Bobby Berry led Anacostia with ll points. XVESTERN 57 ROOSEVELT 46 XVestern's next opponent was a highly touted Roosevelt team that had won four straight games before their encounter with the Raiders. In their 57--16 victory, the XVestern five played their best game of the year. jim XVexler lead XVestern with 21 points and was followed bv John Klar with 15 and Scribner with 10. Bill Smith, the Riders high-scoring forward, was held to five points by the stiff Raider defenses. After leading 18-17 at the end of the first quarter, Roose- velt was able to score only four points in the entire second period as XVestern took the lead at the half 31-22 and was never headed. 90 XYILSON 40 XVESTERN 36 Continuing with the rivalry that was dropped from the football held, XVestern and the Green Tigers of YVilson clashed in a thrilling game at the Tech gym. Fighting back from a 23-l7 deficit at the half. the Raiders cut YVilson's lead to 30-29 before the Tigers went to work again. Bob Barton led lVilson with 13 points and Chuck Bjourson came through with l2, much to everyone's amazement. XVexler led XVestern with 14 points, but it wasn't enough to give the Raiders a victory. The game was close throughout but was disappointing as far as XVesterners were concerned. EASTERN 47 XVESTERN 44 Practically assuring themselves a playoff position if they could win this game, the XVestern five met Eastern in an afternoon game at Tech. In a game that was close throughout, the Ram- blers came through with a last minute goal and captured the contest 47-44. Led by their big men under the boards, Eastern poured in ll points before the Raiders could score. However, the Raiders fought back and with YVexler leading the way with 22 points the game developed into an exciting one. But in the last few minutes Eastern pulled the game out of the Ere to clinch a playoff spot. Dick Torbett led the victors with l7 points. YVESTERN 53 CHAMBERLAIN 46 Still looking for a playoff berth, the Raider five rallied from the defeat at the hands of Eastern and whipped Chamberlain 53-46. The game was closer than it was expected to be as the Volts fought hard all the way. jim YVexler led the Reds with 26 points while everyone turned in good performances. YVestern's added height was a big factor in the victory, as Denis XfVhit- taker and XVexler succeeded in grabbing the majority of the rebounds. After the game it was learned that WVexler had been selected for the All-High basketball team. XVILSON 55 YVESTERN 39 In a game that was to break the four way tie for fourth place and a playoff position, Ykfestern met YVilson February l8 at McKinley. YVilson won going away 55-39. The Green Tigers jumped to a 7-0 advantage before the Raiders could score and at the end of the first quarter, XVestern was on the short end of a l9-8 score. YVilson increased its lead to 27-13 at the half and 48-30 at the three quarter mark. XVexler led both teams in scoring with 22 points, while Lonnie I-Ierzbrun was high for lVilson with l9. YVilson played a beautiful Hoor game and controlled the backboards efficiently. The loss dropped the Raiders from the playoffs and gave them a season record of ll wins and 7 defeats.

A BASEB LL Fourteen returning players and a large number of newcomers turned out for the baseball tryouts early in March. After the early practices, Coach Bill Richardson began the process of cutting the squad down to a workable size. Last year's nine got into the playoffs Hnal game before losing to Eastern for the city championship. With players like Lou Snoufler, Paul Mleinstein, and Johnny Rushton gone, the lineup had to be changed considerably. Leading the hurlers will be Roger Turner, Jim Yifexler, and Joe Tennant, with four others to back them up. On the receiving end of the battery will be either Ed Thomas or Bill Dupre, both back from last year's team.

Competing in the sprint this year, the 100 and 220, are Jack Gerns, George Hervey, Aloe Matusek, l'Vayne Shansey, Fritz Moreland, and Roger Tsuda. In the 440 yard dash is Heston Heald, Roger Haney, and Tom Virnelson. The long distance running will be handled by Bruce McKeithan, John Strickler, Bill Mace, Jim Scott, Carlos Mercado, and Dwight Fuller. In the field events, Hervey, Sliambarger. and Haney will shot put. Gerns, Shansey, and Tsuda will compete in the broad jump while Shansey, Haney, and Matusek will high jump. The team automatically loses 27 points at each meet for lack of a discus thrower, pole vaulter, and a hurdler.

Early in the fall, when the weather permits, the girls who are interested in improving their archery skills spend one day a week at the field amongst bows, arrows, and quivers. This year, because experienced players were needed for the city-wide spring tournament, no new members were admitted in the spring. In the fall tournament among the mem- bers of the club, Helen MeCune and Peggy Smith were the high scorers. In the spring city-wide tournament in 1951, Helen received the highest score because of her aceurateness and steady hand.

BADMI TO Among the numerous activities offered at vVestern, the various girls' sports clubs are received with much enthusiasm and interest. Badminton was one of the first clubs organized at the beginning of the school year. After several practices, the girls began their tournament. This year a team was composed of two girls, known as a doubles combination. Playing in this manner requires less energy but a greater amount of teamwork than singles competition. Usually four letters are given each year, one to the top team and one to the team that defeated the losers. Peggy Smith and Maura XVingo were the top winners with jane Deininger and Pat Gibbons the runners-up. l Badminton Club was reorganized again the the spring with more than hfty girls turning out for the sport. Since there were so many interested, it was decided to hold three small tournaments instead of the regular large one. There were seven, eight, or nine teams participating in each tournament. The Boys' Gym was used along with the Girls' Gym, in order to take care of all participants in the Spring games. First Row: Mary Moss, Charlotte Yates Louise Shapley, Marion Testa.

VOLLEYBALL Volleyball was very popular among the girls this yearg consequently three teams had to be formed. The tournament was a keen one, because the teams were so evenly matched. Teams were coached by Mrs. Angle, with Sylvia Delfabritis, Shirley Guenthner, and Pat Bryan as captains. Sylvia's team won all the games that it playedg therefore it won the championship. Those girls receiving letters for exceptional volleyball playing were Pat Bryan, Sylvia Delfahritis, Kathy Foster, Shirley Guenthner, and Charlotte Yates.

The competition was great, but Peggy Smith's team came out on top, with Jean Romborg's team running a close second.

ODER ANCING About one-lourlh ol' every girl's gym course is spent in limbering up muscles for the modern dance. The first week is spent stretching muscles, and the next week in working out the sore- ness and stillness. There is a routine of leg swinging, leaping, exercising the ankles and feet, falling gracefully, and keeping time with music. After the basic material has been covered, and primarily mastered, creative interpretations are started. The gym class is divided into small work groups. In musical pantomine the girls act out anything from a budding flower to a train in motion. The music is furnished by a collection of cymbals, triangles, tambourines, and drums, one of which is played by a member of the dance group. In the end everyone gets into the swing of things and really enjoys the activity.

CADE TS 1 FO HTH REGIM T T0 the lllen of the Fourllz Regiment: It was with a great deal of apprehension that I accepted the position of Major this year, as I realized the added responsibili- ties brought on by the unfortunate death of Colonel Hawkins. However, I should like to say that, due to the excellent co-opera- tion and industry of the oliicers ot the companies and of the stait, and with the unending help of Lieutenant Hayes, this year in the Corps has been one of my most memorable experiences. Many thanks for a great year and, to those who will lead in the luture, keep XVestern on top! ' EUGENE XVEBIS ' Major of Fourth Regiment W. liugene Webbl rf.

In my past three ytidrs in the X'Vestern High School Cadetsyl have never wprked with a better unit than Co. H of 1952. There were times in the training periods when th' gs got rough. In these spots, I was thankful that I had my two lieutenants, Henry Cering and, ames Lyddane, and my hard working Iirst sergeant, -Iohn Strickler. XVithout these men, my task would have been too hard to endure. I should like also to give my thanks to Lt. Hayes lor his help and understanding in our trials and troubles. I.et's always keep H on top. KIQNDIQIKIK A. Hovwooo Captain, Co. H To ilu' zlfcn of KH: During each ol' my three years in the cadets I have looked upon Company from a ditlerent angle. This year, as captain, I saw you develop, slowly but surely, into a polished unit. I should like to give my personal thanks to my two lieutenants, Ashby Moncure and Dick Zern, for their able assistance throughout the year. VVe shall not forget the help Lieutenant Hayes gave us as he worked with us in perfecting the company. To the boys in I wish good luck in .the future, and thanks for a great year. Keep up with the spirit that makes winning companies. JACK COCHRANP: Captain, Company r1Ku R. T. Hayes Thomas A. Darnall Sander H. Mendelson john H.

Company and staff oflicers often meet to discuss the progress of the companies and generally to improve the training program. The officers are not just instructors on the drill field, as they also participate in such activities as map reading, RiHe Team, and the Crack Drill Squad. Socially, the Sabre Club ked hard making the Regimental Ball a success, and planning the various battaion wor 4 l rallies.
