JOHN ALFIEK, Coach GEORGE KK1VISKEY, Assistant ATHLETICS Three main sports—Football, Basketball, and Track—at W.T.H.S. West-ville has gained prominence in state athletic circles not only for its outstanding teams, but for its excellent sportsmanship. Coaches Coach John Alt’ier came to Westville from Clinton, Indiana, and in his first year at Westville High School did a marvelous job with mediocre material. He was assisted in Football by Mr. Kriviskey, who came back from the Army after serving five years. W Association The “W” Association is an organization under the sponsorship of Coach Alfier. It consists of boys who have won varsity letters in football, track, and basketball this season. The aim of the “W” Association is to create better sportsmanship among the boys on the gridiron, hardwood, and cinders. To receive a “W” is one of the most coveted honors for boys in school. Yet it is one of the hardest to achieve as it requires not only a great amount of athletic ability but good sportsmanship and many long hours of practice. The A. B. C. Board The A.B.C. board is chosen by the “W” Association, Mr. Thomas, and the Student Council. The board has charge of ticket selling at games. Fred Wiese-mann served as chairman of this group with Carl Sayon, Virginia Bann, Ethel Toth, and Phyllis Ferraro assisting. Cheerleaders The Cheerleaders are credited with doing a good job in backing the basketball and football teams during the year. They accompanied the boys to every game and led the fans in cheering. To them, our congratulations. Page Twenty-four

Freshmen — Class of '49 Freshmen usually are not engaged in very many activities around the school. On Monday, October 8, 1945 the freshman class held their first meeting at which they elected their officers. They are as follows: I.ea Hennette......................................President Raymond Watts.................................Vice-President Gene Libert........................................Secretary Lloyd Wiesemann...................................Treasurer Donald Bednar.................Student Council Representative These officers have proved to be very efficient in their various duties. Mrs. Alexis is the class advisor of these 68 beginners. The Freshman class produced some athletes, band-members, and majorettes. Out for basketball, Peter Dowiatt is one of the most outstanding players. This Freshman Class whose “greenness” has already faded into dim obscurity will undoubtedly become excellent upperclassmen. l'ayc Twenty three
