Quietness is one of the best traits. MARJORIE CHATFIELD Marj ie One of those plea- sant little bodies, never has much to say, which sets her aside from others in the class. The best woman is the one least talked about. HILDA BUCKKOLZ Buchholz In activities and studies, Hilda shows fine cooperation'ana spirit. Good nature is al- ways good company. HELS CHRISTENSEN Chris Nels, the high scorer of the basketball squad this season. He’d rather hug a basketball than any- thing else—well, al- most anything else. JACK CONANT Jake Jack's athletic abil- ity ranks among the highest. He knows that foot- ball isn’t the only place a good line is needed. 4 BETTY CRANDALL Crandall Betty, one of those Harrisville blondes, has a quiet but sweet disposition. Blessea are those who say nothing for they shall never be quoted. JEAN CURTIS Jean's merry laughter is often heard in the halls. She's here--I hear her giggle. LAVIRA De’.VITT DeWitt Being a model is a strenuous job. La- vira found this out in our senior class play. Always easy to get along with. HARLEY FL0ET2E Mike As a member of the second team basket- ball squad, Harley is ze best . Women irritate me; I just love to be ir- ritated. GENEVA DEV AR She is a good home- making student, and will use her know- ledge, too, perhaps. Ah J Why should life all labor be I LUCILLE FELDMANN Mutz” Lucille, our 1910 prom queen has won many friends among her associates in W. H. S. Good things come in small packages. KENNETH FUHRMAN Kenny He is one who rarely gets into mischief. Men of few words are the best men. BETTY GOLLIHHR Betty has many inter- ists, one of which is roller skating. Quiet, but noticeable EVA HOCKERMAN Butch Although she is a leader in all activi- ties, Eva still has time for studies. A pleasant agreeable sort--well liked--A good sport. GERTRUDS HEiJKE Gerty Though Gertrude is very pleasant, she knows a lot about her studies. A quiet girl, but quite a girl. JOYCE JOHNSON Joyce's knowledge of the sciences is sur- prising. As a cor- netist she is among the best. We wish we knew what she forgot. GERALD KLINGBEIL J erry Jerry was a French- man in our class play and is al30 a fine basketball player. I'm just the man I'm looking for. HSLOISS MARKS Upon investigating we find that Heloise has a secret fascina- tion for airplanes. Always trying to find the sunny-side of life. LAUREL McMAHON Mrs Laurel is very good in book-lamin' and has great artistic ability. She'd make a good wife. DUANE MILLER Mill Duane's aesire to be an aviator is evident. Work fascinates me— I can sit and stare at it for hours. WILMA MORTENSON Mort Wilma's personality is one trait we all wish we could possess. Being good is a lone- some job. P. S. I'm not so lonesome. MAX PHELPS Phelps His chief ambition is to be a chef. I never let my studies interfere with my ed- ucation. LEO PARKER Parker Leo works hard in both athletics and studies. All the great men are dying and I don't feel so well myself. FRANCKS RUSSELL Fran Franny's cheerfulness is her best charac- teristic. It's nice to be nat- ural when you are so naturally nice. 7 ALICS SANFORD Sanford A girl v ith athletic ability as well as an interest in ath- letics. Silence is golden, but we’re off the gold standard. NAIDA SMITH Smythe Though Naida has a temper she's well- liked by all her friends. How can I study with something more inter- esting on my mind. CHARLOTTE 7R00HAN Char Charlotte's mental ability has surpassed all other in the class. She studies but she is perfectly normal. DEANE WALDO Gut Although he's absent- minded, he has tal- ents—if he would only exercise them. Caesar was short, Napoleon was short, and I'm not so tall myself. EILEEN WEIGEL Honey A very efficient typist; in fact, she's efficient in all lines. She'd make a good secretary. BEATRICE EASES Beat As president of the Home Economics Club, Beatrice does her best. Her wit goes all the way around and buttons in the back. IRENS 0BSCHAL Wobby She seems to like flirting with the teachers. 'Tis better to sleep in class than waste a perfectly good night. CAROLINE ZUHLKE Carol As well as being a good homemaking stu- dent, Caroline is very athletic. Quiet, but you can never tell-- CLASS OFFICERS President Deane Waldo Vice president Leo Parker Secretary Joyce Johnson Treasurer Charlotte Vrooman 8 JIIN I OK CLASS 1st Row—L. Wachholz, G.

Consisting entirely of the nine pupils making up eighth grade, this staff has produced a monthly paper designed to resemble a typical newspaper. Original- ity, practical experience in Journalism, and development of the faculty of expressing observations in accurate and interesting form, have been the aims of this project. 12 xroirrs 1st Row—J.

Fuhrman Westfield won four out of its last five conference games and thus managed to finish in second place in the Big 7-C Conference standings. Adams-Friendship won the title with eight victories and two defeats. The highlights of the season were West- field's one sided triumph over its ancient rival, Montello, and Westfield's brilliant victory over Adams-Friendship on the latter's floor. Coach Unferth's starting five did yeoman service all season. Nels Christensen led the club in scoring, but Conant, Leo Parker, and Le3 Parker were not far behind. Klingbeil's defensive play sparkled all year. All but Les Parker will be graduated, leaving huge gaps to be filled for next year. Christensen's 81 points in 10 games was good enough to top the conference. The team participated in the Mauston district tournament.

Lippert FOOTBALL SEASON Westfield high school experienced its most successful season in the history of the school as Coach Unferth's team tied for the conference championship. The West- field gridders featured a powerful offensive that steamrollered all of its oppon- ents. The team finished the season with 5 victories and one defeat. The defeat was by one point at the hands of a team that Westfield had previously trimmed. An added feature of the year was that the home games were played under a splendid light- ing system. The team reached its peak with a 37-0 homecoming triumph over Mauston high school. Sorely missed next year will be Captain Dean Waldo, Leo Parker, Nels Christensen, Harold Roney, Jack Conant, Gerald Klingbeil, and Mike Floeter.

McFarlin Courses in vocational agriculture under the National Vocational Education Act were first established in the United States in 1917. rrom the very beginning the boys who were enrolled in these courses in the various states felt a spirit of com- radeship due to their background of country life and their desires with regard to farming as a vocation. Cut of the spirit of comradeship grew the organization, Future Farmers of Amer- ica. The Westfield chapter was organized October 26, 1929 and has since then been a growing concern. Each year the boys are doing more to help improve agriculture. Some of the principal objectives for this year are: Hold parent and son rally; hold a rural school judging contest; attend the state judging contest; put on a broadcast; treat seed grain; sponsor a farmers institute; and go on a camping trip. 24 i'll.

The Westfield high school student council consists of a body of students repre- senting their classes and organizations for the purpose of installing cooperation be- tween students. It does not necessarily mean self government but does mean student participation in government. The student council believes that school is the place to practice being a worth- while citizen as well as outside the school.

Klingbeil, D. Waldo, J. Curtis, G. Henke, W. Campbell, B. Dunn, F. Long Dramatics satisfies the urge which nearly everyone has to play act. It is fun to pretend to be another person and to make that character line before an audi- ence. Perhaps that is why Dramatics has been a popular activity in Westfield High school for a number of years. The evening of one-act plays presented by the Dramat- ics Club each year is an important event on the school calender. We believe that participation in dramatics gives the student poise and assur- ance. It teaches him to appear before the public with ease, and to think and act under pressure. We believe that training in dramatics cerries over into life and makes better citizens, trained for leadership. 29 CAMERA CLUI! 1st Row—M. Phelps, Miss Park, Adviser, D. Miller 2nd Row—J. Hamilton, L. Johnson The Camera Cluh is a new organization in high school this year. Members consist of those interested in photography as a hobby. With additional equipment a larger membership will be encouraged in the future. Meetings consist of a study of the technique of taking pictures, printing, developing, and work on individual projects, guided by movies and printed information. While most of this year has been spent in acquiring the necessary equipment to function, it is hoped that in the future this organiza- tion will be of valuable service to the school.
