t w a w c w or The JANUS of 19 3 8 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Wes+ville Township High School Preface hen the first white settler came to this region in 1824, thi localit} was inhabited by the Ricka| oo Indians, who had erected their tepees at a point near the place where the stream of Grape Creek flows into the Vermilion River. 'Phis | oint was also the site of a village of the Piankeshaw Indians for two centuries prior to the coming of the Rickapoos and Pottawattomies. The white man came into this territory by following the buffalo trail. Prom that early day when on a crosstrail, just such a crossroads as our famous five points, Union Corner—an Indian and a white-man met to exchange the values of two so different civilizations, perhaps the Indian to introduce his beloved maze and the white man his valued iron and steel. From such a beginning arose the storied part of our Westville Township High School. Foreword . . . Every locality lias a history all its own. The 1938 Janus staff has worked hard to ascertain the past history of our school and our district. We have tried to prepare this historical material so as to preserve it for the generations to come. We have interviewed the old men who still remember many of the facts; we have searched through voluminous volumes in the libraries; and through the dusty old tiles to get at the truths. We have uncovered so much material of historical value that we had difficulty in selecting that part which seems to be the most important. The 38 school year is now history and so the happenings of this year, together with the early history of our locality is recorded in this, the 1938 Janus. W e hope that you will like it!

It got its name from the little winding stream along whose hanks wild grapes were trellised in abundance. In the early days there were but three industries which made the town famous. One was the coal mines in this region, another was the old brick plant, and the third was Kyger’s Mill. The mines in the district yielded great returns in the 60’s and 70's before the six-foot vein of coal in this immediate vicinity was mined. The Grape Creek Coal and Coke Company exploited the great coal deposits, demanding men, and hence (■rape Creek became a boom town. Houses were constructed; first Redtown sprang up and just around the shoulder of the hill second Redtown began to develop. Soon the town had 2,(K)0 population. i he old brick plant was the first of its kind in Vermilion County to turn out a good grade of paving brick and because of this fact it became a famous enterprise. Kyger’s Mill was built in 1858. It was a two-story frame structure and stood about three-quarters of a mile from Grape Creek on the banks of the Vermilion River. People came here from miles around and the mill was known for the quality of the product it turned out. The building at the lower left is the remains of an old tavern: a remnant of the deep mine era. One hundred yards east of it was the old Blue I.ird Mine. Kelly Xo. 5 was just back of it. and Kelly No. 1 was a short distance south. It was the meeting place of the miners at the turn of the century. THE OIJ) TAVERN THE CITY AS IT IS TODAY Tlit Grape Creek of today has dwindled to a small village of less than 500 population. The children attend the valley school before entering Westville High School. THE STREAM The little stream still winds its way. with the wild grape vines still clinging along its banks. The Ghost City I lit rise and tall of the fast-growing mining town of Himrod occurred within a j eriixl of about IS years. Himrod was located about two miles east and half a mile south of estville, and all that remains to recall this former town of several hundred inhabitants is the old illage Hall, now little more than a pile of bricks. 1 he root is gone and the windows long ago removed. In the front part of this hall the Village Council met. under the leadership of Mayor Anton 1. Chromis, and in the rear was the village jail. The town of Himrod started with the sinking of the Himrod Mine in 1895 bv the Himrod Coal Company. . W. Keefer was general superintendent and manage! ot the mine. A village sprang up within a few years, the company building some 40 or 50 houses for the convenience of their miners, many of whom had but a short time before come from Europe. There were several grocery stores, saloons and other business houses, and more than 500 miners were employed there at one time. It was one of the best equipped mines in the county. Himrod was incorporated in 1897. When it was a flourishing town it staged one of the largest Fourth of July celebrations ever staged in that section. Judge ‘S- ,UIT?y C,a.rk then one of leading attorneys of the county, made the prin-cjpa! address from a large platform erected in a grove just west of the village. I he village at this time had a population of nearly a thousand people. In 1 H)8 the water broke into the mine and today only the old town hall stands as a remains of the former flourishing village. With the building of the C. E. 1. railroad and the coming of the train in 1880 the mining camp of Westville began to grow. There are two stories told for the origin of the name of our city : one is the fact that it was just west of Himrod , another is that the town was named after Mr. West, who ran a general store here in the 90's. At the turn of the century the Big hour railroad and the Lyons vards were located here, making Westville c|uite a railroad center and this was further boosted by the construction of an interurban line. When the Himrod mine failed, the houses of that village were jacked up and moved into that part of Westville known as “Sardine Patch”, and Westville was now the center of a vast mining area. The Kelly mine interests had been purchased by a syndicate for three million dollars. Also, the Dering Coal Company had opened mines just south of town. In 1907, Little ermilion Company was organized and in 1908 the Bunsen Coal Company, a subsidiary of I’. S. Steel, located a mine here and soon afterward acquired possession of the Dering, Vermilion, and Old Kelly properties. Westville grew by leaps and bounds and soon became a city of four thousand inhabitants and it all came about through the building of the railroads and the tapping of our natural resources. ____J Right in the edge of estville three hig mines were located. A short distance east of the high school stands the slack pile of old number four. The picture below shows this mine on lire in 1922. It was so badly destroyed by the fire at that time that it was never again o[� erated. Old Kelly No. 4 The Hegeler Zinc Plant In 1906 the Hegeler Zinc plant w as built just north of our city. This location was selected because of the available coal deposits. It is cheaper to ship the ore into this location from Missouri than to ship the coal out there. It was not until 1908 that the factory started production. The picture atxn-e shows the rolling mills in operation. Around this smelting plant a young village has sprung up and Mr. Hegeler has been mighty good to our educational systems, having just re cently transferred some more land to the McMillan Grade School for school grounds. The Formation of Our High School During the nineteenth century the principal schools of our locality were the pioneer rural one room schools, so typical of early American education. Higher learning if any was to be had was obtained from the Seminaries located at Georgetown and at Danville. Then there came a gradual growth and a consolidation into the Westville city grade school system. As late as 1911 there was only one room of Central school that was devoted to higher learning. Then in 1917 came the big tight to establish a High School District and a Township High School. Many there were who argued that no schooling above the common grades was needed. Hut there were a few far-sighted leaders who saw the need for such a school and who fought day and night for the rights of the poorer class to obtain as good an education as the other communities offered. As a consequence the Westville Township High School was built and opened it doors for the first time in October. 1918. with an enrollment of ninety pupils, counting seventh and eighth grades. Since that time the school has enjoyed a continuous growth until today the enrollment has reached 350, with a broad curriculum offered. Westville High School Westville High School was erected in the year 1917. Hue to an overflow of the student body an addition was made in 1929. It has progressed rapidly in all educational lines, and is today one of the leading schools in Illinois. The beautifully landscaped grounds present a pleasing appearance that gives passers-by the impression of a good institution within as reflected in its outward appearance. The large tract of land selected for the site is one of the finest in the country. I he football field at the back is fenced and tiled and has hood lights for the night football. The grove is not only attractive and beautiful, but furnishes space for the running track, tennis courts and baseball diamond. One of the most important changes at Westville High School is the erection of the principal’s bungalow on the grounds. Besides being a great convenience to the principal, it is convenient to those having business to transact with the school to find someone near to whom they may go to inquire. Westville is one of the first to execute this plan of building the home on the school grounds. We Salute a Westville man who made good. Thomas Moses. Behind the story of the election of 1 homas Moses, formerly of Westville, to a vice-presidencv of United States Steel is the story of a man's rise from driver of a mine nude to one of the highest executive offices of that great corjwration. Forty-eight years ago. Thomas Moses was a mule driver in the Mike Kelly coal mine. 1 oday he sits in the highest councils of the business world, in charge of raw materials for one of the nation's industrial giants. During his rise he has kept the common touch he s still 1 om Moses to the men with whom he worked shoulder to shoulder in the coal pits of Vermilion County. Born of a Welsh father, himself a trapper” in the mines at the age of 11, the support of a widowed stepmother at 18. he married at 27 on $3.00 a day and lived in Westville in a three-room miners’ cottage that rented for $6.00 a month. Mr. Moses was ambitious to get out of the rut of the unskilled laliorer. While many miners gathered down town in estville to discuss community gossip over their drinks and pipes, I homas Moses was at home studying like a child because most of his previous education had been limited to two terms in a rural school. 1 he teachers in the VY estville schools gave him instruction and he mastered algebra lessons at the price of a private tutor, 15c per hour. In 1905 (jovernor Yates appointed Mr. Moses to lie Secretary of the State Mining Board. Two years later he was reappointed by Governor Deneen. but soon thereafter became state mine inspector for the fifth district. In 1910 he resigned to become Superintendent of Bunsen Coal Company’s mine near Westville. In 1915 he became Superintendent of all Bunsen properties and in 1927 he advanced to the presidency of II. C. brick Coke and Coal Comjianv and its subsidiaries. On January 1st. 1938 he became the Vice-President of U. S. Steel Corporation. Although his home is now in Pittsburgh, yet ermilion County has remained home to him and he frequently returns to visit among relatives anil old friends. So again let me say, we salute a estville man who has made good—-Thomas Moses. THOMAS MOSES Old Tow n Hall, Grape C reek Old Town Hall at Himr id The Railroad Station.

Faculty e are proud of our well trained faculty and have just reason to l� e. I here are few schools of our size that have faculty members almost one-fourth of which have their Master’s Degrees, the remainder excepting one with A.R degrees. Almost every one of the facult members attends a summer .school each year in order to V eep up with the latest trends in education. Best of all. each instructor has the student and his interests at heart. They show this when they spend much of their time during and after school in aiding the student in many ways, not only in school affairs but in student help to outside interests which are sometimes brought to the faculty member for help or advice. Many of them spend much time in aiding the various contests that the students wish to enter —literary contests, essays, and plays. We consider ourselves fortunate, indeed, to have attended a high school with a group of such line faculty members. Page Ninel fen EKANKI YN DtV.AS “ Pam f s” Itio Club 2; Sr. Sc.

Juniors It was in the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty-five that eighty-eight somewhat pale and frightened finished products of the grade schools, the present Juniors, began a high school education. Since that memorable day, no longer pale nor frightened, they have attained a glow of confidence and security that accompanies three years of high school anti knowledge. Although the first two years were not especially eventful, they began making up for it in the Junior year. At this time individual efforts were such as to put the proverbial traveling salesman to shame when they were unusually successful in selling Christmas cards and monogram met! stationery. The proceeds went toward putting on the annual Junior-Senior banquet. They also put on an exceptionally good mystery play entitled “Hobgoblin House”. The proceeds from this also went to the banquet fund. Many of the boys excelled in sports and the girls surpassed in other fields. Among these were: Sam Chicas and Sammy Fadele in track and football. Lawrence Kagels as a high point man, playing forward in the reserves, and outstanding player on the varsity this year. Robert Lucas as an outstanding halfback ami Godelausky as linesman. Frank Masoikas and Zigmont Such as the 1( 38 football co-captains. Evelyn Sutton as editor of the school paper. Regina Dowiatt as Raskethall Queen. The class officers are: President, Walter Godelausky; Vice-President, Lawrence Kagels; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Ann Lattuada, and Student Council member, Frank Masoikas.

The reason tor so many was tine to the fact that it was the first class to enter after the ruling that put a stop to mid-year graduations. And did the Alma Mater ever have a time trying to accommodate all of them. The school, being accustomed to a regular number of freshmen at regular intervals, was no doubt quite astonished at the sudden deluge of one hundred and twelve additional and unexpected dots to the surrounding landscape. Hut numerous as they were, they resolved to be an outstanding class. So away they went, right from the start. As freshmen, many boys went out for track, basketball and football. While not as yet socially active, some were inducted into those various clubs where scholastic standing is required for membership; quite a number became interested in music and, eventually, the band or orchestra. Returning in the second year, they really began to go places. Tovey, Stahl, Laitis, Stark, and Lucas showed promise in football and they also made the second team in basketball. Several became band members; most of the girls did their part in the May Fete, and many became outstanding in stunts. The Debating and Dramatic Clubs accepted several of us, as did the newspaper. The class officers arc: President, Kenneth Gilbreath; ice-1 resilient, Frank I acz n-?ki; Secretary-Treasurer, David Palmer, and Student Council member, Lillian Pachiarz. Miss Elizabeth Somers is class adviser. � ify stten Freshman Class On September 7, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, the principals of the local grade schools put their heads together in a combined endeavor to make a liberal, worthwhile donation to the high school. Result: some sixty-five exceeding rare organisms of relatively diminutive stature were cast into circulation, to roam aimlessly the halls of Westville High School until eventually they had climbed a rung in the ladder of class status. Thus, they were left to rove until their greenness faded into dim obscurity and they attained some degree of definile classification other than “little freshmen”. However, if these insignificant, miniature specimens expose themselves to the healthful rays of learning, are well-watered by the fruits of success in the form of high scholastic standing; if they are occasionally carefully weeded of the various temptations lying by the wayside of knowledge, they will undoubtedly grow up to be splendid upperclassmen. Already some members have succeeded in bringing recognition to their freshman class. Among these are Edwin Ford, diminutive song stylist, and Florence Myers, carnival queen. The class officers are: President, Tom Gerchalk; Vice-President, Paul Johnson; Secretary-Treasurer, Edwin Ford; and Student Council member, Steve Bednar. The class adviser is Miss Mildred Glodkowskis. I:irst Row—Ford, Gcrchalk, lia� zi«, ( harm sky, (into, Recount. I, • goski, X. 1,’pmvsky, KiicLe., Kleiner. Second Rote Cunningham, Polakes, Antonio .

Owls The “Owls” is an honorary society composed of a group « t students who each year serve their school most faithfully and usefully, thus setting an example of proper attitude and cooperative spirit among the students; it is, therefore, an organization of the outstanding students, l oth in class work and outside activities. 'I here is no reward for the work that members of the “Owls” do, other than the personal satisfaction of belonging, and the feeling that they have accomplished something worthwhile for their school. 1 he s ciety is one for which many are striving to belong, because of this same reason. Those students elected to the Owl society are ten per cent of the student body; six per cent of the members being chosen in December by the Student Council and the other four per cent by the Faculty in April. The things counted in selecting these students are: loyalty and sportsmanship, taking part in athletics, election to student council, newspaper work of all kinds, annual work, literary programs, holding offices in school, orchestra or band, committee work, literary programs, library work, office work, voluntary service for the school, selling tickets, writing essays, and a host of other things are considered. Most of all. a good attitude, school spirit, and an attitude of cooperation qualify one for membership in the “Owls”. After the selection of the new members, a luncheon is held for both old and new members and faculty members. It is served by the girls in the Foods department, and after ’he luncheon the new members are inducted into the organization. Rmye Twenty-nine Orchestra With his first year at Westville High School, Mr. Herbert Matthes proved his ability in the held of music. After six years of teaching music in Minnesota he arrived at Westville and almost immediately took hold of the music department. He directed the band and developed a small but excellent orchestra. Throughout the year the twelve members have practiced diligently once a week, d'he pieces they play are usually popular numbers of the day and they appear at the Senior and Junior plays, at the Operetta and other functions. This swing orchestra proved to be very popular and played at several assembly programs. Membership in the orchestra offers an excellent opportunity for the student to learn instrumental work. At Christmas time they proved their ability by playing various Christmas carols. The most inspiring thing about the music department is the great number of beginners who are showing interest in the playing of instruments. There are about thirty beginners in band and orchestra work, and they have been making wonderful progress. It will not l e long before we have more players for each instrument than we can use, and this competition will tend to make a still better orchestra and band in the future. MR.

Band Since the hand was organized in 1929. many improvements have taken place. 1 he members are equipped with uniforms, the instruments are of a letter grade with a greater number on hand, and more time is devoted to band practice. The band proves itself an asset to the school when it performs at all football and basketball games by adding considerably to the entertainment of the evening. The band is composed of music students who were, as soon as the music instructor be-lieved them to be capable, permitted to play in the band. Band practice is regular and each member receives an award when all requirements are fulfilled. Everyone is proud of our 32-piece marching band. Girls Chorus Those girls interested in singing have the opportunity of belonging to the Girls’ Glee Club. Here they derive much pleasure from singing many beautiful melodies that Mr. Matthes teaches them. Each year they sing in the Music Festival, where they join with choruses from many other schools. Mr. Matthes spends much time in training the girls in this work, and each year the chorus is well represented by its many menders. Boys Chorus Although there have not been a great number of boys going out for chorus, it has proven to be a good one. Taking what little material he had. Mr. Matthes spent noons and evenings with the boys until he developed a very good male chorus. It is hoped that in a few more years more boys will take a greater interest in chorus for the simple pleasure and they prove an asset in appearing in the operetta and other events.

Its main objective is to teach them proper living and high ideals. The girls of the different classes are divided into groups, each having its own officers ami sponsor. The programs of the monthly meetings, arranged by the program committees, arc of a varied and interesting nature; sometimes group meetings are combined when one group invites another to a tea or some other social affair. The League sponsors many events during the year, the most important being the selling of Christmas wreaths to raise funds for the annual Christmas party for small children. Mrs. Kaub is sponsor of the organization. The officers are: President, Margaret Petrus; Vice-President, Marie Shaffer; Secretary, Mary Mavoras, and Treasurer, Edith Dudley. Boys League Under the direction of Mr. Rogers the Boys’ League continues to be an active and interesting organization. The members constitute all the 1k vs in school and its purpose is to sponsor vocational guidance and problems dealing with boys. At their monthly meetings, the boys are entertained by outside speakers, school talent, and various topics of interest Many times there have been talks given by men of different professions, and thus the boys are given an insight of work in the different fields. The l oys also see many interesting and educational movies. The officers of the League are: Frank Lesko, Franklyn Dugas, Frank Surzyn, Sam f'hicas, Lawrence Kagels, and Henry Tovey.

A CLASS IN VISUAL EDUCATION Literary Staff Composed of voluntary workers, the library staff is doing considerable work under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Glodkowskis. Every student must have a pass from some teacher before entrance to the library is permitted, and only those students having a C-plus or above average are permitted to read fiction while there. Lndcr the direction ot Miss Glodkowskis, a card catalog is being constructed which will he of great benefit in the rapidly increasing library. Although much has been done in the three years of work spent on it, it will not l� e entirely completed for about two more years. During the six periods in which the librarians alt mate duty, they arc of aid in assisting students who come to the library for reference work. Visual Education One of the greatest improvements in modern education is the introduction of movie machines in schools. The showing of films, every one of which is pertinent to some department, tends to make that subject more interesting and more enlightening in instances where explanations alone do not suffice. Two years ago the school purchased one of these machines. Although quite a large investment, it was soon paid for through the proceeds of the Carnivals and the Magazine Campaigns. In a few years it will have paid for itself many times over. Besides seeing movies referring to the different sciences, the student body also sees four regular features a year, plus other short selections. For class shorts, the Little Theater lias been reserved; and for the features, the old gym is used. 'Mr. Foster Kaisler has complete charge of the visual education program in the operation of the machine. lJafir Thirty four The Westville High Published every two weeks by the members of the newspaper staff. The U'cstiillc High proves very successful iu supplying the student laxly with all the news of the school. The members must he capable and willing to put in all the time and work required to put the paper out regularly and in good style, and sec that all news of interest in school is adequately and systematically covered in order to turn out a good paper. Each year two members of the staff represent the school at the Press Conference held at Champaign. Members of the Editorial Staff and Business Staff arc appointed by a cotn mittcc consisting of the retiring editors, the adviser and principal; the reporting staff is selected by merit of their written articles by the same committee. Greenhouse Committee To keep the plants in the greenhouse watered, and to see that they do not become infested by insects, a committee of six responsible students is selectee! by Miss Mary Jean Dowiatt and Principal Paul W. Thomas. This committee is composed of students who had or are taking Biology. Each remains a member for a period of one year. The greenhouse is located next to the Biology room and is under the supervision of Miss Dowiatt. Flowers and plants for it are brought from the homes of the committee members and returned at the close of the school year. Caring for these plants is a responsible but advantageous position. The committee members become experienced along botanical lines and learn many interesting and valuable things during the year. Kou— M 1 M. Yackctta. Sul ton. t ra k . Cemer.ia, J.

Interesting programs of a scientific nature are planned by the officers supervised by Mr. F. J. Raisler, the adviser. Sometimes chemical experiments are performed at their monthly meetings that prove helpful and interesting to all of the club members present. Thus the science course is made vastly more interesting by means of this club, and the annual party held after school or in the evening stimulates those science students not in it to do bcttei work in an effort to belong to the club before the next six weeks is over. The president of the club is F.laine Sacotnik. Biology Club Made up of the outstanding Biology students, this club contributes much to the growing interest in Botany and other phases of that subject. During the school year the members of the club, which is sponsored by Miss Mary Jean Dowiatt, present many educational projects such as taking long hikes. These outings usually occur early in the morning before school begins, and are for the purpose of increasing interest in nature and the outdoors. At their club meetings, as in previous years, movies |H rtaining to Biology are shown to the club members and interesting reports, usually obtained from outside sources, are given by the different members. The officers of the club are: President, Eugene I.ynch; Vice-president, Ellen Chicas, ami Secretary, Henry Tovey. 7‘of Row—P. Kaitas, Masiokas, J. Milcw-ski, Dyskieviccz. Second Rote—Caycz.

This is a club in which the declaimers have the chance to express their opinions, to hear and be heard on various interesting topics. A club of this sort is vastly beneficial inasmuch as it calls for deeper thinking. Its members are receiving valuable training in the art of viewing a situation from all sides and in the ability to exnress an opinion in a clear ami logical manner. Pauline Puskac is president of the club and Margy Sydes is secretary. Mr. Herbert Matthes is the sponsor. Dramatic Club Who knows? The Y. H. S. Dramatic Club may have among its talented members a future renowned dramatist! Possibly some of today s most lamed actors obtained their first acting inspiration from the effects of membership in just such an organization as a high school dramatic club. Tryouts for new members are held at the beginning of the school year. After trying out before a selected committee successfully, and after surviving an initiation, the efforts of a year's membership are combined in an annual play; the proceeds going to the music department. This year's outburst of drama was a three-act comedy entitled “Little Miss Fortune . It was directed by the sponsor. Miss Elizabeth Somers, and turned out to be a great success. Helen Szlinsky, the president, and Franklvn Dugas, secretary, contributed their bit to its success. ■'« ?� • Thirty-srven First R, � ■—Sliukitis, Kiclick. Polakc . Mo-Mcr. Bmis Holt. I.ctr, M.

Foods Club To pursue worthwhile interests along the domestic lines is one of the main objective of the Foods Club. Like the Clothing Club, the meetings are made extremely interesting by its unusual programs. They relate not only to Home Economics, but to various other subjects of interest to girls in helping them keep hobbies, etc. After becoming members when a grade of C or above is made, the girls are required to undergo an initiation, after which they have a party. Miss Mayoras, as their sponsor, has been very active in creating interest among the members of the club. The officers are: President, Anne Chicas; vice-president, Maxine W ilson; secretary. Rose Carneghi; troas-surcr, Francis Wichus, and program chairman, Helen Hiatt. Clothing Club At their monthly meetings, the members of the Clothing Club have programs in keeping with that particular month. These are very interesting, and while they do not always pertain to Clothing, these social gatherings do tend to create interest and to stimulate those girls not in the club to make higher scholastic ratings in that subject. By making a C-plus or above girls taking Clothing automatically become members of the club. The officers of the club are: President, Palmer Billot; Vice-President, Anna Adams; Secretary-Treasurer, Anna Toth; and Publicity Chairman, Alberta Matulis. Pane Thirty-civht PI ays The Dramatic Club proved their talent on the stage as “Little Miss Fortune” was presented in the auditorium on October 13. This threc-act comedy was directed by Miss Elizabeth Somers. Amelia Mario was cast as Kitty Cooper whose “Kitty s Kisses were sold all over town, thus supporting her widowed mother. John Brazas, as Randolph, a young wealthy man from New York, had met Kitty at a summer resort and after many difficulties proposes to Kitty and all ends happily. The annual Senior play, “Melodrama in Nankipoo, directed by Mr. L. L. Alison, was a comedy farce in three acts. Presented on March 29, the spectators enjoyed it immensely. The action of the play revolved around a group of small town people trying to battle their way to the glamorous motion picture metropolis—Hollywood. John Brazas, and his pal, Dominic Swider, try to get their girls, Kleanor Sacotnik and Anne Chicas, to give up the idea of being motion picture actresses and get married. After much scheming with Mr. Landis, played by Frank Lesko. the two men finally win out. Mysterious happenings and weird shrieks welcomed the audience in the annual Jumc play, given on December 14. “Hobgoblin House,” a play full of suspense, was directed I Miss Josephine Rcdulis. Bluebeard Bronson, Guido Giambi, an escaped maniac, was t comedian, and Darius Krupp, Eugene Lynch, put all the mystery in the scenes, while Emir Lou Shimkus and Mary Benton played the feminine lovers’ role. Julia Pctkis played tl part of the aunt. A scene from the play is pictured below. Stage Managers Without the aid of the stage managers, the various plays and other events put on during the school year would not be as successful as they are. Bulling up curtains, setting up scenery, handling the lights, setting and taking down chairs are only a few of the things that the stage managers must do for not only plays given in the evenings, but all assembly programs. Much of the success of a play depends on the efficiency and promptness of their duties. Sittnw Pitchford, Hitosky, Giambi, Moyer, Sbintkus M. Benton. Standi ) —S. Chic . Pctkas, Chiaffrcdo.

Operetta Comedy and music reigning supreme, this year’s operetta was a great succos as the most talented members of the music department combined their singing and dramatic endowments on the night of February 11 in an endeavor to make it so. The outstanding cast was headed by Emma Lou Shimkus, Maurice Sole, and Dominic Swider. The plot dealt with the activities of numerous people, revolving around Purple Towers, a mansion where the heiress for reasons of her own took a position as cook. Complications arise when a prize tighter and his manager, wishing seclusion. lead the town to believe that the mansion is haunted. Comics develop when a hick sheriff appears upon the scene and attempts to keep law and order. The plot is lightened by the appearances of the singing choruses at intervals. Other characters were played by John Gaughran. Joe Russian, Jane Ann Shaw, Raymond Barber, Glida Giambi, and Ellen Chicas. Given by the members of the music department, the proceeds of the musicale went toward purchasing musical instruments and other needs. Mr. IlerJ'erl Matthes was in charge of the directing.

W Association The “W” Association is a club composed of members who have received a letter in any of our three major sports, or in our minor sport of boxing. The club was founded for the purpose of uniting the boys who win laurels for our school on track, gridiron, basketball floor and boxing ring. Its members are composed entirely of boys ami these boys are depended upon to further the code of sportsmanship in all their activities. Among the list of members may be found names that are those of leaders not only in sports but in class and scholastic activities. Meetings are held every first W ednesday of the month with the football captain presiding during the football season and the basketball captain during the basketball season, etc. Usually Coach Miller takes charge of the meeting, giving talks about how the opponent can be beaten. Such matters as elections of football and basketball captains are taken up at these meetings. W e hope the ” Association members will continue in the future to be as sincere in their purpose and pledge of holding up the athletic standards of West-ville I ligh School as the old members have been. We are sure that every man who is graduating will come back to good old Westville High School and cheer for her as many of the old members have done. Top Row—Surzyn, Chapman, Morieko, Ma-oika .

Listed among the seven letterman were Captain I rank Sur .yn. triple threat quarterback: Frank Lesko. Dominic Swider, James Chapman. Fete Laitas, Robert Lucas, and George Sibbons. Building around these lads. Coach Miller had found a great (leal of additional material to round out a well-balanced team. The line averaged somewhere in the neighborhood of 160 pounds or more, while the back held averaged 155 pounds. Sam Chicas. a transfer student from Johnston City, was capable of tilling the open guard position. From his squad of forty boys, Coach Miller produced a team which won live games, lost three and tied one. We defeated the old traditional Buffaloes in the Georgetown game, a team that was undefeated until they hit Westville. Because of this victory over Georgetown, our football season was considered highly successful. The credit of the success of the team goes to that individual who builds up our teams and suffers their blunders and cheers their successes, Coach Miller. He is rounding out his thirteenth vear at Westville and has established a wonderful record. He is well trained in his line of work and the entire school and townspeople are proud of him as their Director of Athletics. Coach Mim.KR l'rout How—Gailus. Shapuras, Mgr . Hirst Hon• Mazoikas. I .

FRANK SI R YN (“Durks ) I rank, captain and quarterback of this year’s gridders, was the main threat in all the games. He is considered as one of the greatest athletes ever produced at VV. T. H. S. GEORGE SIBBONS (“Ihim Mum”) George is one of Westville’s hardest line plungers. He managed to put over the extra point to heat Georgetown. This was Hum Hum’s last year. iGMOXT SUCH (“Ziggy ) Ziggy, next years co-captain, will take over the post of quarterback. He is one of the lastest and shiftiest players on the field. WALTER L AIT AS (“Zuppy”) Walter was one of the best field runners on the gridiron. He still has two years to nerform and win laurels. FRANK M A SI OK AS (“Silky”) Silky, co-captain on next year s eleven, whose signal calling and line plunges helped pull the Miners through the victory. Next year should he his greatest year. ROBERT LUCAS (“Boh”) A hajfback and one of the speediest players on the field. Always eager to get in the game, he will prove to he a hard man to stop on the team next year. DOMINIC SWIDER (“Sweden”) Dominic, a hard offensive player, suffered a broken ankle in the Spring Valley skirmish. He recovered in time to help heat Georgetown. The hoys will miss him. HENRY TOVEY (“Ducky”) Henry, the smallest player on the team, held down the center position. His accurate passing will hold him the pivot position for his next two years. WILLIE STRAINIS (“Wee Willie”) Willie, a diminutive halfback, was a hard fighting defensive man and his hard tackling will he remembered by many. This was his last year. FRANK LESKO (“Frankie”) One of the finest defensive players ever produced by Wcstville. His position at right guard was rarely crossed by opponents. Frank’s shoes will be hard to fill. Pilla Forty-toni WALTER GODKLS (“Body ) Walter, mated with Swider, proved to he impossible to get through. He has a good rharge and is a good tackier. He has another year. J A M ES C H AI ’ M AN (“J immy”) Jimmy played right end ami was an excellent defensive player. He will be missed by ♦ he next year’s squad. NORMAN LUCAS (“Tootie”) Norman, a guard, alternated with Chicas and Lesko. He proved that he could stand his ground with the best of them. Watch him in the next two years. fOHN MORKIKO (“Lugan”) John, a substitute end, provided his opponents with plenty of action when they tried to skirt his end. Another year is in store for John. GEORGE HANNA (“Georgie”) Although George lacked several quarters of making a letter, he was a hard driving fullback ami a good tackier. He has another year. PETE LA IT AS (“Pet”) Pete played left end and proved to be hard to get around. His defensive playing will be sorely missed next year. SAM FADALE (“Black Hand”) Sam is a brawny Italian lad who occupied the center position. Two more years will find him right there lighting to his utmost. TONY YONKOSKY (“Muzzy”) He started as a sub ami ended on the varsity. He played tackle and played it well. Next year will be a spectacular year for Muzzy. SAM CHICAS (“Sammy”) Sam. hailing from Johnston City, proved to be a great guard. He was classed as one of the hardest scrappers on the field. He has another year. The most important men in football are the two managers, WILLIE GAILl'S and JOE SHAPURAS. Their valiant efforts to keep the husky bruisers in trim are to l e complimented. Football In the opening tussle of the 1937 grid season, Westville met the Catlin Wolverines. The Catlin team proved to he no set-up and Westville barely eked out a 7-0 victory. The close score of the Catlin game seemed to put new life in the Millermen, for they displayed much power in their next game with Onarga. The Tigers' fast charging line proved to be too much for Onarga and, as a result, the game ended with 39 points to our credit and none to Onarga. Then we journeyed to Spring Valley, where failure to block a long pass cost us a ball game. We lost by a score of 7-0. Again the breaks evaded the Westville gridders and they lost 14-0 to Mattoon. Westville completely outplayed the Big Twelve conference school in every department of play. After losing two games in succession Westville came back strong by trimming St. Charles 40-0. In the next game with Hoopeston, Westville was thoroughly outweighed but not outfought. After a hard-fought battle, Westville lost by the close score of 14-6. In their next game, Westville went to Sidell with a victory in mind, but had to be contented with a 6-6 tie handed to them by the light Sided squad. In their last home game, Westville proved their bad playing ability In-beating Ridgefarm 26-6. Georgetown, who had won every one of their home games, was confident they could beat us on Turkey Day. When the final toot of the referee's whistle ended the game, the scoreboard at the north end of the field field read Westville 7, Georgetown 6. Georgetown’s touchdown came late in the first quarter of the game and the attempt for the extra point failed. Westville seemed to become infuriated at this deadly thrust and marched down the field as if there was nothing opposing them. Early in the second quarter, Westville made its touchdown and the plunge for the point was good. Throughout the rest of the game neither team scored but Westville threatened to score all through the last half. Pane For tv-si r Basketball Westville opened its cage season a few days alter the boys had lain away their moleskins and cleated shoes, and started out with a win over ()akwood. with only a few days’ practice. It seemed that our squad was to have a successful season in spite of the fact that they were inexperienced. However, the dope bucket went hay-wire and we lost the next live games. We lost two to Calin, two to Georgetown, and one to lloopeston. A week before the county tournament the squad changed pace and began to play brilliant ball. In a one-sided affair, they subdued Fair mount by a 61-23 score. In this game George Sibbons, a mid-semester graduate, played his last game in line style by making twenty-three points. Westville then journeyed to Georgetown to participate in the county tournament. Our first foe was Indianola and they were thumped to the tune of 49-36. 1 lie boys were hot that night and were able to put the ball through the loop from any spot on the tloor. In the next game with Sidell. Westville collapsed completely in the shooting department of the game. After dropping in a couple of baskets during the initial period, the Millermen, after trying and trying again, were unable to connect again for the remaining three quarters of the game. The score ended 38-9 in Sidell s favor. The next three games were lost to lloopeston, Sidell, and Ridgefarm. After these defeats, the Tigers began to play better ball and won their last two games from Perrysville and Rossville. Miller’s only veterans from last year’s squad were Sibbons, Lesko, and Surzyn. Sibbons graduated at the end of the first semester and Surzyn had to move to Wisconsin. This left Frank Lesko the only experienced boy on the squad. Other boys making up the squad are: Pete Laitas, John Rrazas, Kuchefski, Such, X. Lucas, l� . Lucas, Godels, Masiokas, Chicas, Morieko, Palmer, Cherbouskv, and Horvat. Seniors that are leaving next year’s team are: Frank Lesko, George Siblions, Frank Surzyn, Pete Laitas. and John Rrazas. Miller will have some good material to work with next year. Ziggy Such, a speedy forward, will be back. Godels and Masiokas. two lanky boys, should make good next year. Forwards that will be back are: X. Lucas. 1 . Lucas. Kuchefski, Palmer, and Cherbouskv.

Reserve Basketball Coach Frank Rogers’ “Silver Streaks” started their ’37-'38 season with a spectacular beginning by winning three games at the expense of Oak wood. Catlin, and Georgetown. Although the Reserves have lost games, they have only been beaten by three teams. Those holding victories over the “Silver Streaks” are Georgetown, Paris, and Hoopeston, all strong teams. The closing season found Richard Dowiatt playing center. Joe Cooke. William Haluska holding down the forward positions, and Loyal Nemrick and John Novickus playing guards. Some of the reserve substitutes who will see action next year on the hardwood are: Henry Tovey, Carry Stal, Frank Paczvnski. Anthony Lesko, Earl Dudley, Edward Stefaniak and Joe Attutis. Next year will find many of the Rogermen fighting for berths on the varsity squad. 1 his is the second year the Reserve squad has been coached by Mr. Frank Rogers. He stated that he was very much pleased with this squad and their per-formance. and rated them as one ot the lx st passing squads he had coached. This ability would seem to indicate that a great deal may lx expected from next year’s varsity. In the past years, many experienced and able plavers have graduated from this training ground to strengthen the varsity line-up. The games in which the Reserve squad participated during the past season have been a display of high quality basketball on the part of a group of young boys, quick and alert in the art ot playing. I he Westville fans in witnessing these preliminary games were getting double value. The breath-takingly close games, with their tense and exciting moments and skilled performances, were more than enough to make the outlook for the 1938-39 varsity season extremely optimistic.

Basketball Queen n4 Each year before the basketball season opens, a campaign is held among the W. H. S. girls to sell season tickets for all the home games. The holders of these tickets need only present them at the door to gain admittance to these home games. In this campaign the girl who sells the most season tickets :n given the title “Basketball Queen”, and receives the privilege of having her name engraved upon a handsome cup. From this year’s campaign, w hich was a heated affair, a junior girl emerged victorious. Through her untiring efforts and ability in selling these season tickets, she has won the coveted honor mentioned above. The girl who, through her efforts, receives these honors, is Regina Dowiatt. Regional Tournament Tense anxiety that predominated along the basketball front reached its height before a full house in the opening session of Westvillc's Regional tournament. In the opener, Danville eliminated Ridgefarm by a score of 55 to 23. In the next game of the night, Westville battled the County Champions. Sidcll threatened to make short work of West- illc by rolling up an 11 to 0 lead in the first quarter, hut from them on the game was fought on even terms. The Millermen started a belated, fourth-period attack, and drew within six points of their adversaries. The game ended 33 to 23 in Sidell's favor. In the completion of the first round warfare, Allerton and Georgetown moved into tin semi-finals by defeating Oak wood and Chrisman. The Oakwood quint put up a game tight in falling before the Georgetown outfit, 36 to 22. The next game found Allerton easily disposing of Chrisman. In the third session of the tournament, Danville met with difficulty in obtaining a 27 to 16 victory over the stubborn County Champs. In the second game, Georgetown won over llerton by the close count of 34 to 33. On the final night of the tournament. Sided defeated Allerton by a 106 to 1(X) score in the consolation game for third place honors. Danville won the championship by defeating Georgetown 36 to 15 before a capacity crowd. REGINA DOWIATT Basketball Queen W. T. H. S. GYM—THE SCENE OF THE REGIONAL TOURNEY l:orty nine Track The thinly clads of 37 had a highly touted season hy winning one meet, and placing in the other three The hist meet of the year was held at Catlin. where Westville’s cinder stalwarts subjected Catlin to a loss, by a 67-50 total. Captianed by Neil bowman, the Miners had a perfect day. Lowman was high point man with three firsts; Farrell was runner-up with two firsts. Westville, participating against Chrisman and Georgetown in a Triangular Meet, held at Georgetown, emerged second best.

Pnuc Fifty Boys Intra-Mural Kach noon-hour throughout the school year, the enthusiastic shouts of boys participating in sports can be heat cl. These shouts come from the boys who are participating in intra-mural activities. The intra-mural is for those boys who are unable to participate in the major sports of the school, and furnishes a means of recreation for them. Frank Rogers, the Physical Education Training instructor, is in charge of the intra-mural activities. He selects captains for teams, arranges schedules, gets umpires and referees for the games, sees that the games start on time, and furnishes the equipment necessary for the games. In the fall, two soft ball leagues are organized. The games are played according to a schedule and the team with the highest percentage of wins is proclaimed champion. Besides the soft ball leagues, leagues arc formed for football and speed ball. Then the boys move inside and leagues are organized for volley ball and basketball, and games played according to arranged schedules. An elimination tournament is held in ping-pong during the indoor period. In the early spring the boys who have hopes of becoming l oxers get an opportunity to display their bulging biceps. The boys who compete in the boxing tournament are divided into classes according to their weight, and the champion of each weight receives an award. Queen—I . Iiclunois.

Its aim is good health habits and to this end various recreational activities are carried on. The main activities are • tennis, basketball, badminton, baseball, soccer, volley ball, and archery. During May Fete season the girls are taught modern and folk dancing and in February a week was devoted to posture drive for the purpose of emphasizing the importance of good posture. Twice a year a number of the G. A. A. girls take part in an invitational Flay Day at some neighboring school. Our G. A. A. is a member of the State Association. The officers arc: President, Anne Chicas; Vice-President, Amelia Mario; Secretary-Treasurer, Rose Lemezis; and Point Chairmen, Regina Dowiatt and Katherine SchaefTold. The most important activity is the annual May Fete. Plot, setting, and costumes originate with the girls, with little outside help. Last year’s May Fete was based on a Girls’ Private Boarding School. The May Queen was Patricia Dcla-nois, and the Maid-of-Honor was Margaret Kinder. Pot Fifty tU’t‘ Parties During the school year, students of Wcstville High have the opportunity to have such gobs and gobs of fun! The first event that caused a great deal of excitement was the all-school steak roast. Such fun v.e had roasting steaks, wieners and marshmallows! Th'-n came the Dramatic Club party, held at the home of Miss Somers. The newspaper skating party followed. No one knew how to skate, so consequently the druggist never had so many calls for liniment since he started his business. W hat a jolly time we had at the G. A. A. initiation party. I he girls had to carry things around with them that made them the object of fun and laughter throughout the school during the following day. Then came the all-school Valentine party! Oh! What fun’ The boys were the hosts to the girls this year. Banquets Banquets, too, play an important part in the social functions of the school. I he creates! of the school year is the Junior-Senior Banquet, which is held in May. I he two classes enjoy themselves vastly while at the same time they learn the art in etiquette of informal formality at such gatherings. Next comes the Senior-Alumni Banquet with just as much fun prevailing underneath formal hibs-and-tuckers worn by the guests and hosts. As a means of inducting the seniors into their association the Alumni sponsor the affair in the new gymnasium a short time after ,he Junior-Senior Banquet. At both banquets, dancing is the main diversion after the dinner is served, followed by a program of entertainment. Two Owl banquets are held each year, at which an inspirational speaker talks to the club members. All-School Picnic The finale of a term of sch(M l comes in the form of the annual all-school picnic held at Twin Lakes, Paris. It is held on the day after commencement, and hilarity reigns supreme. Swimming and boat riding are only a part of all that the students find to do during the day. From the minute the school bus (and other means of trans portation) leaves in the morning until its return in the evening, it is a day of care-free abandonment. The old tradition of the all-school picnic proves more popular ever) year and is an eagerly-awaited-for occasion. D. A. R. Award In the spring of 1936. the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution began sending specially selected high school girls from all over the I’nited States on a free trip to Washington. I). C. The names are pooled by states, and the name of the winner in each state is drawn in each state capital. So far, a W'estvilb girl’s name has not been draw n Our candidates are as follow s : Jeanne W agle, ’36: Suzanne Harcarik,’37; Margaret Petrus, 38. A special national society is to Ik formed with all girls who have been selected as members. Pour Pi fly-three JOHN WILLIAM JACOBS showed the best sportsmanship and was winner of the trophy for ’.V and ’37. Sportsmanship Award Each year the high school offers a sportsmanship trophy to the athlete who shows the best sportsmanship during varsity competition. Last year John “Bill” Jacobs had the honor of being Westville High School’s best sportsman. This award will not be made for this year until the close of the season. The award given has a two-fold purpose. First, to reward the athlete showing the best sportsmanship; and. second, to encourage good sportsmanship among the players. The selection each year is made by a committee of three, whose names are never revealed. Jacobs, who has been a clean-cut fighter for varsity positions in basketball and football for the past four years, has made four varsity letters. He played end on the varsity grid team in his senior year, and he proved to be a valuable asset to the team. In basketball, he won three letters. He played forward and center on the varsity team and played some fine games in the regional tourney. “Lanky” Jacobs also ranked high among his fellow classmates in his studies. e are glad to give this honor to so worthy a student and we hope he will cherish it in the years to come. Pane Fifty four Carnival To aid various functions of the school financially, a carnival is held in the school each year. I’ast carnivals have helped to pav for the movie machine purchased by the school. Each faculty member has charge of one or more attractions on Carnival night. mong these numerous attractions are the side-shows, movies, bingo, popularity contest, and the country store. A play was also presented by the Music Department. The high spot of the night was the crowning of the Carnival Queen, whose identity was not revealed until a deadline was reached on the night of the Carnival. FLORENCE MYERS was crowned Carnival Queen. Carnival Queen After weeks of close competition, Horence Myers emerged victorious on the night of the carnival, having been a candidate of the l- reshman Class to sell chances on a silk comfort. Amid congratulations and confetti, the freshman representative was presented with a bouquet of flowers as a reward for her outstanding salesmanship work. In primary elections, girls were nominated from each class by any student for a minimum price. After a given length of time the one girl from each class receiving the most nominations was chosen as a representative of her class and the four candidates then sold chances on a silk comfort to decide the contest. These chances were sold from the time the candidates were made known, up until the deadline, when results were counted and made public. Anne Chicas represented the Senior class and came out third in the contest; Rose Marv Chiaffredo, Junior representative, fourth, and Florence Vacketta, Sophomore representative, second. These candidates were presented with compacts for their good work. The contest was at a keen pitch all through its duration, not only between the individuals competing, but between the classes represented. I'ayt Fifty five The Al umni Association 'I he Alumni Association is composed of all graduates of YVestville High School. At the present time it is a very active organization. It was organized a great many years ago, and reorganized four years ago. Since that time this organization has become one of the finest of its kind. The principal purpose of the Alumni Association is to promote the general welfare and better interest of the Westville schools, and foster self-contained social entertainment. I his year the John Barrymores and Joan Crawfords of former Junior and Senior plays of . H. S. once more plastered their faces with grease paint and put forth their best efforts in a strikingly humorous farce called ‘‘1 Object, Your Honor”. The play, directed by an alumnus, Russel Spicer, and a faculty member. Edward DeLaney, not only had a capacity crowd in gales of laughter, but in storms of tears besides. 'I he cast included Frances Zamberletti, Frank Dugas, Mario Stefani, Dan Palmer, and James Kelly, and others. The proceeds of the play are used to sponsor the Senior-Alumni Banquet and Dance. Each year the Alumni are guests of Westville High School at a verv gala atiair called the Homecoming dance. This dance is usually preceded bv a colorful parade in which all students clubs, individuals, and alumni mav participate. W the splendid marching band in its greatest glory and colorful banners and tloats, this parade is a widely awaited affair. The dance takes place amid soft lights and velvety music. A record crowd was in attendance at this Homecoming Dance, and the spirit of all was gay and merry despite the loss of the Homecoming Day football game. '1 he Senior-Alumni Banquet is sponsored by the Alumni Association. Each year the seniors look forward with happy hearts to this gala affair. The girls in their lovely formats of | inks. blues, and different colors of the rainbow form a most Ijeautiful view for any observer. Besides being one of the social dances of the school year, the evening is begun w ith a splendid banquet prepared by different church organizations, aided by the Home Economics department.
