THE JANUS Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of WESTV1LLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Westville, Illinois 1944 Portals of Dear Old Westville High WTHS as seen from State Street SNEYD, President SHAFFER. Secretary Board of Education 'I'he Board of Education is composed of seven members and is one of the most essential positions that any Westville citizen can hold. Their main aim is to better the school and improve its standards. As a result of their efforts we have extra-curricular work such as banquets, tournaments, social activities, and the best of instructional facilities. Mr. James Sneyd, Jr., is the president of the board with Jesse Shaffer as secretary. They meet the first Thursday of each month, putting in much time and effort toward the betterment of our school without any remuneration. These civic leaders in our community should be rewarded by the public for keeping our school accredited with the University of Illinois and the North Central Association Crediting Agency. Acting Secretary KALUZA PIERCE COWLES OTTINO TOY V. W. THOMAS Principal Principal During his nineteen years of service, eight of which he si ent teaching in the Science Department and eleven as principal of Westville High, Mr. Thomas has gained through his friendly spirit and pleasing personality, the friendship, respect and admiration of all students, the faculty and citizens of Westville and surrounding communities. Any student who has gone through four years of high school, and hasn't appreciated his cooperation and ability, certainly has missed something. Ilis willingness to copoerate with the different clubs and organizations of the school, has occassionally kept him busy to the wee hours of the night. ( ur school, through the help and cooperation of Mr. Thomas, has progressed greatly in the last eleven years. Mr. Thomas has his A.If. degree from the University of Indiana, and his M.A. degree from the University of Illinois. ROSE SHAW Office Girl Ever since 1928 W.T.H.S. has had an office girl. There are many details around a modern school office that need to be taken care of. Among these details are transcript of credits to colleges, recommendations for boys entering military services, recommendations and reports of students securing jobs in war and civilian jobs, as well as keeping records, sending out school bulletins, keeping daily records of attendance and it seems endless records of details. Our office details are efficiently handled by Rose Shaw, graduate of 1941. Rose has held the position of office girl for two years.

In school we are taught such rules and by means of the Student Council we are allowed to practice them. At the class elections each year the outstanding students are delegated to the position of student council members by their classmates. Two Freshmen, two Sophomores, two Juniors and three Seniors make up this group. The members of this society, with the help of Mr. Thomas, formulate and exercise ideas which are of benefit to the school. The Student Council expresses the thoughts and ideas of the students on school problems. Edwin Niemenski is the presiding officer at the monthly meetings which are carried on in regular parliamentary procedure. The Student Council selects six percent of the Owls and two members of the A.I5.C. Board. They also aid in promotion of social activities such as matinee dances. The Owls Top Row—Kaluza, Bossoloni, Scarce, Appanaitis, I’lumart. Middle Row—Jones, Grygicl, Marsh, Vantrepotte, Sparks. Hollow Row—Jenkins, Dudley, ('■riles, Timko, Bcv. Sparks. Owl Society III 1924 the Owl Society was established in Westville Township High School for the purpose of giving honor and recognition to those students who participate in scholastic activities such as publications, club work, and numerous other details which often go unnoticed. Ten percent of the student bodv is eligible for membership; six percent of them being elected in December by the Student Council and four percent by the faculty in April. Xo meetings are held by this group except two banquets which are tendered to them by the Board of Education.

Juniors The Junior Class is the starting point of great class activities. They sell candy during noon hour, Christmas cards at Christmas time, and put on a Junior Class Play, as well as sponsoring several matinee dances, in order to raise the money necessary for putting on the Junior-Senior Banquet. This year’s Junior Class, headed by Mary Tomlinson, president, and represented by her and Helen Bial on the Student Council, has done exceptionally well in the sales department, as well as putting on a tine drama entitled “The All-American Family.” They likewise put on a splendid banquet at the Hotel Wolford on May 13, at which we Seniors and Juniors certainly had a marvelous time. MARY TOMLINSON President GEORGE SC HA BOW SKI President Sophomores In 1042 a fairly large freshman class entered W.T.H.S. At the present time we call them as sophomores and they now number 60 strong. Their boys have not yet taken a lot of part in athletics, but they have a few outstanding stars and quite a bit of good material which will l e heard from in the future years. The girls of the class have been taking fairly active part at such things as newspaper, dramatics, etc. The president of the sophomore class is George Schabowski and he represents them on the Student Council together with the assistance of Evelyn Starks. Not a lot of money has been raised by the sophomores, but they have made contributions to the Red Cross, USO, and aided materially in backing the carnival. Miss Somers is their adviser.

On the hrst day many of these students acted timid, and were accompanied to school by their parents. It wasn't long, however, until the upi er classmen had taught them the “ropes and were even trying to lead them on the by-ways, as well as on the highways. They also tossed them in the bushes and humiliated them in many other ways. Jay Swisher is president of the class and he, together with Betty Bitto, represents them on the Student Council. At the end of the school year there remains about 48 of the original 55 freshmen. It is our hope that they will continue in school, so that our graduating class will not fall under 45 by the year 1947. Principal’s Residence Several years ago the W.T.H.S. Hoard of Education saw tit to build a residence for the Principal. Built right north of the school building on the campus it adds to the beauty and landscape and has proven a big aid by having the Principal always at hand when school problems are to be solved. Campus Scenes ROSE TIMKO . . . Drum Major Bial WlCHL'S Ckkiotti Franklin Majorettes In 1940, as was the custom of many high schools, four majorettes were added to our band. Their appearance at the band performances adds beauty and zip to the organization. Another attraction is their military styled uniforms, which add to the band’s appearance. They perform many antics, as well as fine twirling and other spectacular stunts. This year the majorettes are Mary Ann Wichus, Delores Franklin, Helen Bial, and Kathryn Ceriotti. Mary Ann Wichus, a senior and the other three of junior standing, performed at all the athletic contests, parades, and outside showings in Danville and many other surrounding communities, in which the band has made a grand appearance. These majorettes are not only beautiful and acrobatic but are also mechanical and rhythmic and present quite a pageantry in their athletic performances as the band plays. At parades they often attracted much attention from the public and in this way have helped to make the W.T.H.S. Band one of the best in Illinois. Band The Band is an organization composed of approximately fifty pieces, which plays at football anil basketball games and for many other school functions held at the Westville High School. The members are provided with uniforms which are orange and black capes with white trousers. It is composed of music students who have proven that they are capable of playing in the Rand. Mr. Matthes, the music instructor, has done an excellent job of training. They make many formations at the football games, such as forming a “W” and forming the letter of the opposing team. They fight against cold, wind, rain, sleet and other obstacles to give outstanding performances at festivals, parades, and football games. Everyone is proud of the Westville High School Band. MR.
