FOOTBALL BANQUET The Home Ec. girls will malte excellent wives if they can cook as good when they get out of school as they did in preparing the Football Banquet meal.

Other speakers included Mr. William Moyer, Coach Miller, Edward Delaney, Capt. Sabalasky, Capt-elect Surzyn, Cyril Urbas, and others. This banquet is given yearly by the school to honor the football team. CARNIVAL If you did not attend this year s carnival, you missed a lot because it afforded everyone an excellent opportunity to have a good time. Amidst confetti, noise o the milling crowd. Coach Miller's spieling, and other noise, Emma Lou Shimkus was selected as the most popular girl. The money earned from the efforts of the future Barnums was used to purchase the new sound projector. ANNUAL HOMECOMING Each year the Westville High School pays homage to its graduates at an Annual Homecoming Dance. Before the dance there is a big parade and an exciting game in store for the has-beens' who have come home to renew acquaintances. The Home-Ec Club won the float prize with a very beautiful float. Second place was taken by the G. A. A. The Junior Science Club pooled their efforts and won third. In the game between Normal and Westville, the Tigers came out ahead with a 14-0 score.

Bruce played fullback and was an exceptional punter, being considered one of the best kickers in this part of the state. COACHES The Westville High School Tigers were coached by Clayton Miller, who was assisted by Coach Delaney. They have been quite successful due to much effort, time and guidance on their part. Coach Miller has been with us for twelve years coaching the Tigers, while this is the first year for Assistant Coach Edward Delaney. GAMES KANKAKEE Kankakee came to town for the first game of the season and received a 6-2 setback by the Millermen. Having played the Up-Staters the past four years, this is the first victory for the Tigers. This game was the start of a very successful season. CATLIN The following week Catlin was encountered and defeated to the tune of 12-0. The fast-charging line that blocked two punts was too much for the Ave-men of Catlin. COACHES DELANEY MILLER Thirty
