Preslden The Seniors opened their final year in high school by electing lake Foust, president, Bob Claycomb, vice-president, Nellie Beam, secretary, and Shirli Boland, treasurer. With the help of the class advisers, Miss M. Greer, Miss Canan, Miss Esenwein, and Mr. Engh, the officers were able to draw up a satisfactory program for the year. Because the class en- rollment was the smallest in years, the Seniors had a little difficulty in making their authority apparent to the underclassmen. However. they were well represented in all fields. In varsity sports, seven Senior lettermen, Bill Heilman, Gene Ober, Brick Brickles, Bugsy Carroll, Dick Hunter, Bob Claycomb and Iack Mapoles participated in football while four, Bill Heilman, Bob Miller, Gene Ober and Dick Hunter took honor on the basketball floor. With their original cheers, Wanda Ackley, Blanche Blozovitch, Marian Ream, and Mildred Yuhas spurred the teams on to victory, and won second place for Westmont in the cheer- leading contest held at Southmont High School in the fall. Scholastically the Seniors fell down, with the honor roll revealing only a few names. The Girl Reserves, ably guided by Marian Ream, sponsored a skating party which turned out quite successfully. The Senior boys in Hi-Y TRAPEZE ARTISTS b moe COW geyjilf' Goal Sec OE-YXCYRi.l Yrobaegift' x03 vfettefewlellte upheld the high standards set for them and sponsored the gym dances usually held after basketball games. Both organizations co-oper- ated to make the Hi-Y-Girl Reserve Drag Dance a success. Bill Heilman served as presi- dent of the W Club until entering the service in February. Under the leadership of Brick Brickles, the Student Council tried to solve the various problems of the school and en- listed the aid of the administration to uphold their decisions. One of the highlights in the social calendar was the very successful Senior play, Every Family Has One. The inexperienced drama- tists under the supervision of Miss Gerhardt produced the type of play suitable for any au- dience. Christmas Holiday, the Senior dance, replete with Santa Claus, sleigh, and reindeer. also offered a bit of relaxation and enjoyment for the students. Knowing it was to be the last chance for everyone to get together, the Sen- iors held a gay class party early in the spring. By February, the class lost Irving Leuin and Norman Scott to Iunior Pitt and Bill Heil- man and Bob Miller to the service. Many more were slated to leave in the latter part of the year. Then came May with baccalaureate and commencement services, after which the Sen- iors bade farewell to their Alma Mater.
