The members are Mr. Edward A. Dittmar, presidentg Mr. F. Monroe Williamson, vice-presidentg Mr. Earl E. Miller, treasurerg Mr. William V. Price, Mr. Robert A. Hoad- leyg Mr. Parker R. Lawson, Mr. Luther E. Lehmang Mr. Russell A. lonesg Mr. Earl F. Brubaker, and Mr. Theodore M. Fairchild. Mi. Fairchild was appointed to replace Mr. H. E. Townsend, re- tired. He will serve until the next election which will be in November, 1953. Mr. Harry R. Leckey, secretary of the joint board, is a non-member. The board meets once a month with Mr. Willard Ackley, supervising principal, and Mr. Iohn Peifer, high school principal. During this year the school board in conjunction with the student council has begun plans to include in the schedule for next year a driver training course. It will depend upon parent reaction whether or not this will be a reality Another plan under discussion is that of allowing students from West mont into athletic activities free of charge The project to be completed this year is the extending of the fire alarm system to the old building The student body of Westmont Upper Yoder High School extends its appreciation to these men who give their untiring and generous efforts to the betterment of the school K N N X l I P N '.

So it was also in Westy. After a hard fought battle for supremacy, the most capable candidates emerged vic- torious in the senior high election for Stu- dent Council offices in May. George Cush ably served as head of this active governing body with Art Zobel. acting as vice-president, ready to step into the top position at a moment's notice. The minutes were correctly and efficiently re- corded by Barbara Marshall, and Howard Picking was put in charge of finances.

The president and his committee made possible one of the most successful pre-Ferndale game bonfires in the history of Westy. Several fine gym dances after basketball games were sponsored by this organization, and the beautifully trimmed tree which decorated the lower hall at Christmas time was credited to the Student Council The action of the council best accepted by the student body was that of furnishing buses as a means of transportation to the away basketball games Many other reforms were proposed such as permitting Westmont students to attend all home games and activities free and attempting to promote the idea of a iunior senior prom As is always the custom all of the assembly programs were under the careful supervision and guidance of the council and were run smoothly Mr Ott acted as faculty advisor to this group while Mr Ackley gave his valuable assistance Whenever needed ST ROXX 1 f H ff rj I D F B'l'ifQll- Dltht- 1 I ' - 1 .lf - 1' ' f sn , xf ' 1 If L Q W K l , FIRQ '-cr rn right-Gail a ner lone ffnclehart, Barbara Hahn Carolxn Clark Par Cornelius Naam' Sterling.

It doesn't seem that the twelve years we have taken to complete our public school careers can possibly be over. Our senior year was characteristic of all our previous years insofar as we had a very successful and fun-filled term. At the end of our junior year we elect- ed our very capable senior officers: Len Marshall, presidentg Lois FitzGerald, secretary, Stan Pollock, vice-president, and Alberta Hoffman, treasurer. The first highlight of the year proved to be the annual senior class play, Father of the Bride, a smash hit starring Clinton Betz, Carolyn Clark, Nancy Zobel, and Dick Mihelic. The class then selected its senior queen and the extremely wise choice was Mary Ann Luedeke, a lovely and sweet member of the class, who represented the school at the annual Pitt High School Dance. The Christmas season played host to the social event of the year, The Pepper- mint Prom, presented by the senior class. The gym was very beautifully decorated under the direction of Miss M. Margaret Greer and Nancy Zobel. The wonderful evening was climaxed by the selection of lim Salem and Becky Zahm as King and Queen of the dance. Practically permanent members on the honor roll were Carolyn Clark, Don Gallagher, Dick Gibbons Nancy Linden Ann White Barbara Marshall and Marileen Snyder Athletically the class produced a wealth of material for the teams of W U Y Outstanding in football were Don Gallagher Stan Pollock Len Marshall Leroy Williams Ralph Young lim Connor Bob Robson Bill Marley Dave Diamond Ioe Bolha Harry Mann Pete Sloan Dick Mihelic and George Cush Sparking the basketball team were Stan Pollock Len Marshall George Cush Bill Mar ley Don Gallagher and Don Facciam On the sidelines at all the games were the four senior cheerleaders Becky Zahm Ioyce Englehart Peggy Pruner and Barbara Hahn We have had a wonderful time in high school and We are thankful that We live in a coun try where that 1 possible , , , - , . , I I I I I I I .

Al 0 . l I l . 4 l w Perhaps the most diffiCult Of the ChCIrClCfe1'izations was that of Mr. Banks, the main character and the father of the bride, who was portrayed by Clinton Betz, With the aid of a strong con- stitution, a healthy voice, and an able supporting Cast, Clinton played his part excellently. His understanding wife was portrayed by Carolyn Clark and their young sons, Ben and Tommy, were acted by Tom Harries and Howie Stark. Kay, the beautiful bride, was Nancy Zobel and her ever- loving fiance was Dick Mihelic, as Buckley Dunstan, who had every girl in the auditorium swoon- ing. With such wonderful leads, how could any play be anything but colossal? The supporting roles were taken by Barbara Hahn, the Bank's maid, Shirley Bissonette, Mr. Bank's secretaryg Nan- cy Linden, Ben's girl friend, Bill MaQuilken, Tommy's buddyg Becky Zahm, the catererg Peggy Pruner, the caterer's assistant, Iim Connor and Don Gallagher, moving meng Marileen Snyder, a dressmaker, and Alan Mercill, the florist's delivery boy, each of whom gave an excellent per- formance. The success of this great production was further aided by the student direction of Iean Gray and the prompting of Mary Lou Davis and Iris Olbum. Many thanks are also extended to Mrs. Wineman for her invaluable assistance in the rnake-up room and to Mr. Horner for his love- ly wedding music. The beautiful stage setting was the result of the efforts of the property committee and Mrs. Leonard Olbum, who so kindly offered her services in arranging the furniture.

I N T Esls MR. ROBERT MANNION Mr. Robert Mannion produced a better than average football team this year. Although Westy lost four of the games, some only by small margins, the boys had been well trained. Our opponents, some of which were top teams, were given a tough fight until the end of every game. Through the efforts of Mr. Mannion the team was kept in excellent physical condition. Under his direction the team showed steady improvement resulting from hard work and keen spirit throughout the season. His guidance and knowledge of the game led the team to victory over five schools, one of which was Westmont's chief rival, Ferndale. MR WILLIAM ASKEY Mr Askey as coach of the junior high football and basketball teams has the Job of teaching the games from the beginning to many of the boys This requires on his part not only knowledge of the games but patience and steady practice Mr Askeys results this year were worthy of all his time and efforts Both the football and the basketball teams emerged victorious in their re spective leagues The basketball team won seventeen consecutive victories Both teams were undefeated In addition to 1un1or high football and basketball Mr Askey coached the senior high baseball team in 1952 which proves his varied interest in the sports field Mr Askey is well liked by all those who know him particu larly the boys with whom he comes in contact during the sports season MR PETE MOLLURA Mr Mollura backfleld coach assists Mr Mannion with the senior hlgh football squad He is new to the Westmont coaching staff this year but even in that little time he has gained the admiratlon of all In helping Mr Mannion especially in the backfield the boys re ceived more individual trainlng and were in better shape to meet opposing teams We certainly hope Mr Mollura realizes our sincere appreciation and recognition of his friendly attitude toward football players and spectators alike We hope he will be with us during many future sport seasons - I 1 . , . f l - . , , . 1 ' I I - ' 7 - '-.

MR TOM PHILLIPS Mr Phillips works with Mr Askey in coaching the Junior high football and basketball teams As partners Mr Phillips and Mr Askey have attained the goal for which all coaches strive Their junior high teams this year won all of their games with the exception of one where the game resulted 1n a tie The Junior high teams this year were the cream of the crop May we have many more' Mr Phillips although new in the field of teaching and coaching has contributed a great deal of his time and patience to our school and has been rewarded with deep admiration THE COACHES MR CARL ENGH Mr Engh basketball coach had only one varsity veteran returning this season but with daily practice the team developed with much success Since th1s IS the thirty-fifth year of coaching for Mr. Engh, his knowledge of the game is very extensive. His relationship with many of the boys whom he had coached as junior varsity play- ers in previous years added to the. warm atmosphere which prevails all times. He enjoys yvorking with the boys, and this alone makes the pleasure mutual for both him and the team. We recognize Mr. Engh as the coach of many great basketball teams in the past and hope he has many more to come. ,..-as 1 , R f, , .
