Oh, so you were dancing with my girl again ! As you wander into the school yard of W. T. H.

Thomas A.B., M.A. University of Indiana University of Illinois To Mr. Thomas: During these trying times, our school has continued to keep up its scholastic standing regardless of teacher and other shortages. The one who deserves much praise for this work is Mr. Thomas. Me has sacrificed much time and energy to help us secure a full education which will help us later. His cooperation in curricular activities has made the students' stay in Westville High School a pleasant one. Mr. Thomas has 24 years’ teaching experience behind him. twenty of which were spent at our school. He has an A.B. degree from University of Indiana and an M.A. degree from University of Illinois. The Administration Po( e Seven Pres. Sneyd, Sec. Kaluza, Board members Compton, Pierce, Cowles, Ottino, and Tovey. The Board of Education Our Board of Education is composed of seven members, headed by Mr. James Sneyd, Jr., as president, and Mr. Andrew Kaluza as secretary. The job of the Board of Education is to uphold all the high standards for which Westville High is noted. They meet the first Thursday of every month, and they put in much time and energy for which they get no financial reward, only the satisfaction one receives from a task well done. ROSE SHAW, Office Girl There are many details around our modern high school which are handled efficiently by our office girl, Miss Rose Shaw. Among her duties are the keeping of daily records, transcripts of credits to colleges, recommendations for boys entering the service, recommendations for those securing jobs, and also the sending out of daily bulletins. Rose has gained through her friendly spirit and pleasing personality, the friendship and respect of the faculty and student body.

The Student Council The Student Council represents the students and are elected by their classes. Each class is represented by two representatives except the Senior class, which has three representatives. Student Council members discuss and try to remedy the problems of the student body. Owls, Mave Fete candidates, and cheer leaders are chosen by this body. They also help handle student problems and perform many other such duties. The members of the Student Council have worked together in harmony during the last year, for which they should be commended. Faye Ten Ambrose, Brazas, Browning, Vachetta Lesko, Peck, Hut, Youhas, Kochvar Top Row—Rice, Howard, Sloan, Appanaitis, Vogel, Mensavage, Davenport, Browning and Bat rich. Rollout Row—Haussy, Vantrepotte, Maritano, Timko, Waglc, Manfroid, Jones, and Tomlinson. OWLS The Honorary Society of the Owls is one of the honor clubs in the school. To it ten per cent of the student body may be elected. They have two banquets tendered them by the Board in recognition of their work. It takes an outstanding student and a conscientious worker to merit selection to this club.

W” Association The W” Association is a hard association to get into. The “W” Association is made up of members who have earned a letter in either football, basketball or track. To make a letter in football you must play at least 16 quarters all season; in basketball you must play at least 32 quarters in the season: and in track you must make at least 15 points in the track season. The members of this association are outstanding athletes—in either one of those three sports. The grade of getting into the “W” Association has been very high in the past few years due to the tough competition that has been taking place.

BRAZAS FOOTBALL The football team of 1944 did great deeds for the school and people of Westville for fight and gallant resistance put up against the tougher and heavier foe. The team won 5 games, lost 2. and tied 1. Westville started and finished the season with great games. In the season’s opener the Tigers traveled to Clinton to fight them on even terms to a 0 to 0 tie. They ended the season chewing on Buffalo meat, whipping Georgetown 12 to 7. This team made one of the best records the school has had in the last four years. They won the County Conference by winning four games without a single defeat by Vermilion County teams.

TRACK Westville has produced many good track teams. This year we had some pod runners who placed high in the county. Last year Westville placed second in the county, being beaten by only two points. Yerem took first in the mile and second in the half mile. Barney first in the quarter mile and Vilk tied for first in the pole vault and high jump. I rack is a very good conditioning sport and practically .til of the boys that went out for track are in the armed services, physically fit. Coach Welton has made long distance runners of many of our boy’s and that is what we have excelled in lately. Track season was in the spring. Power-tul legs are made in track and they help you in your other sports. All bovs should go out for track and other athletics and in that way hidden talents can be found. BARNEY VII.K High jump in County Meet. County Track Barney ilk, winner of the sportsmanship award, is now serving Uncle Sam in the L . S. Xavy. He was a boy that liked to fly through the air. His flying brought him ties for first place in the high jump and pole vault in the county. Barney trained and became a great athlete. Barney made many points in track for Westville as he did in basketball. There probably won’t be as good a pole vaulter and high jumper to come along as he was, for some time.

Cheer Leaders The Cheer Leaders of 1944-45 did a very good job in representing the team with their cheers. They cheered even when the game looked as though the Tigers would lose. These three girls were present at every game and showed the sportsmanship that should be shown by keeping Westville fans from razzing referees in the all-important Danville game.

About two hundred students and teachers are served each noon.
