Westville High School - Janus Yearbook (Westville, IL)

THE “JANUS” NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE Mildred Hensley has been in the Girls’ chorus three years. She did not come to school last year, but took a course in work which qualified her to graduate this year. Helen Delaney, the dainty dancer, has performed at high school functions and is well known for her ability to dance very gracefully. Helen is society editor on the Janus and was a reporter on the Westville High. Hay Howard, has been one of our typists on the Westville High and also the Janus. He has much stability and has certainly done a lot of hard work in typing work for both of the above publications. He also was on the basketball squad this year. Paul Somers, our business man, has been business manager of the Westville High and has served the paper in a wonderful manner. Although the writing of the material for the paper is very essential, there must be a great deal of finance back of the paper in order for it to be a success. He has been on the Orange and Black football team for the past three years, and has been a player of no little ability. He was the Boys’ Athletic Reporter on the Westville High as a Junior and held the same office as a Senior on the Janus. The present Senior class has established two new events at W. T. H. S., namely “Junior Play” and the “Junior-Senior Banquet.” The Student Council was also organized during our Senior year. It seems that our one aim throughout high school has been to originate and carry out new events. Page Twenty-one

THE “JANUS” NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE the Junior play. She was literary editor on the Westville High, ’24. She is one of the best alto singers the Girls’ Chorus has ever had. Catherine Rucker, is the most prominent ticket-seller in the Senior class. She seems to have uncanny ability when it comes to selling newspapers, Annuals, tickets or anything pertaining to high school. She entered school the second semester, 1921, and has carried extra subjects, requiring a great deal of work to graduate in three and one-half years. Julia Columbus, another live wire, declares she is always on party committees, or anything else where there is lots of work. She has played basketball four years and is interested in all other school athletics, including baseball, tennis and volley ball. Fern Hughes, one of our cheer leaders, has led the cheers of audiences innumerable times, spurring our athletic teams on to victory. She has attended Westville High School only three and one-half years, but has worked hard and earned her right to graduate w’ith the class of '25. She is a member of the Student Council. Donald Hudson entered school here in his Senior year, from Ohio. He is an all-round athlete, being for both football and basketball teams, and is “Boys’ Athletic Editor” for the Janus. Elbert McDonald also entered Westville High in his Senior year, having previously gone to school in Kentucky. He is one of the most popular musicians in our class, his favorite instrument being the saxophone. Steff Myers, one of the best athletes who has ever played on any of the Westville teams was Captain of both basketball and football teams in ’24. In his senior year, he was joke editor on both the newspaper and Janus. However, Steff’s most important hobby is drawing cartoons. Rosa M. Slazas w'as alumni reporter on newspaper and Janus and certainly fulfilled this position with much capability. She played basketball four years and was also interested in baseball and volley ball. Sh« was chosen class president when wre were Freshmen. Mildred E. Glodkowskis wras a member of the orchestra in her Junior and Senior years. She wras Business Manager of the “Westville High” as a Junior and was an excellent ad getter. Susie Krainock, our main standby whenever there was anything to be typed for either newspaper or Janus. It seems that typists, one of the hardest-working divisions on any staff, very seldom receive their just praise—however, that does not mean that they are not justified in an enormous amount of honor. Pete Ferpotto was one of the “fightingest” men on the football squad, having played three years. He was Ishmael’s assistant in getting ads and proved to be a very valuable assistant. Page Twenty
