THOMAS, Principal, M.A. Mr. Thomas has been the principal of W.T.H.S. for the past fourteen years, and he has been very friendly toward all of the students. With his able assistance, the Hot Lunch Program has proved to be successful. Without complaint all of the many duties have been fulfilled by Mr. Thomas. Our hats are off to you, Mr. Thomas, for the fine work you have accomplished. Page Four Board of Education Our Board of Education is composed of seven members, and it is one of the most essential positions that any Westville citizen can hold. Their chief purpose is to better the school and improve its standards in any way possible. We have banquets, tournaments, social activities, and the best of instructional facilities as a result of their efforts. The president of the board is James Sneyd, Jr., and Andrew Kaluza is the secretary. The first Thursday of every month they meet without any remuneration to make plans to better our school. The satisfaction of a job well done is the only' reward for their time and energy. Page Five DICE WALKER BROWN YOUNKMAN BLAKENEY FACULTY M A BELLE JACKSON DICE.

Page Seventeen he J unior-Senior Prom Once each year the Juniors and Seniors make their debut to society at the Junior-Senior Prom. In the balmy month of May when the Seniors are getting excited about graduation and the Juniors are just glad to get out of school, the Prom comes up, and for the time being, commencement is forgotten while the Junior and Senior boys are busy getting their car washed and their new suits cut down to fit. The girls are busy getting their tormals and worring about who s ill ask them to the Prom. So time Hies and the big day arrives much sooner than expected. At the hotel you see the boys dressed to kill, some of them wearing ties for the first time; and the girls act like ladies as they try to keep from tripping over their formals. Soon after the banquet, the room is dimmed and couples take to the floor. As the sweet strains of Lu’s Orchestra floats through the air and the clock approaches 12. they begin to thin out and leave. Where they go, we can only guess; but as they arrive home at one or two, they sigh and say: “What a wonderful end to a glorious day!

They have been noted for their scholastic ability, and a look at the past year’s honor roll will reveal that these juniors rank high among the students. Representing their class are the following people: President..........................................Dolores Ghihaudy Vice- President............................. Betty Sereno Secretary........................................Elizabeth Somers Student Council Representative......... ....Marion Browning To earn money for the annual Junior Senior banquet, which is held in May: the Juniors worked hard selling Christmas cards, candy at noon, and presenting a play. This year’s play was Brother Goose. Miss Kellv is the class advisor. Paye Nineteen SOPHOMORE CLASS OF '49 The Sophomore class is one of the most active classes in school. Most of its members are included in extra-cirricular activities around school. Some of these activities include majorettes, band, and students who are outstanding in the field of sports. Within the first few days of school, the members assemble under the direction of Miss Somers, who is the class advisor, and choose their leaders. Their fine judgment was recognized in this selection of officers. President............................

BAND Each year the band takes an active part in Westvillc High School. The hand plays at all the games and at any time it is needed. The hand has been an asset to the school and community, and it has earned an excellent reputation for itself. It is said that a school is noted for its team and hand; surely, the W.H.S. hand has earned itself a permanent place here. Under the able direction of Mr. Younkman, the hand hopes to have another successful, entertaining year. MAJORETTES Accompanied by the marching music of the hand, the majorettes have been a great attraction at many of the games. Braving snow and winter winds, they have cheerfully performed in front of the crowds at the football games. Also as specialties they have taken part in many programs. Led by their excellent drum major, Marion Browning, they hope again to lead the hand at the games next year. Front Row—Kerns, Hennette, Cimo. Second Row—Sneyd, Browning, Dufotir. Page Twenty-three Mr. Younkman The music department is under the capable leadership of Mr. Younkman, who has charge of the chorus, band, orchestra, and the daily music classes. Previous to his arrival, Mr. Younkman played in the St. Louis Municipal Hand, which is well known to many of us. The Musical Revue under his direction was presented on February 13, and the event proved to be a great success. Mr. Younkman plays the flute and saxaphone. His fine ability to play musical instruments is an inspiration to us all. MR. YOUNKMAN Music Director Orchestra The orchestra, also under the direction of Mr. Younkman, provides entertainment around the school. Some events are the May Fete, assembly programs, Owl Banquet, and the carnival. Boogie-Woogie, classics, marches, and overtures are among the types of music played by these capable music students. The most memorable program presented by the orchestra was the one given at Catlin when the orchestra played for their assembly program. Marian Browning did an excellent baton act; David Rouse played a trombone solo; Marie Pel-lizzari gave a trumpet solo, and Dorothy Adams presented a “sax” solo. All in all, the members had a grand time. First Rote—Maritano, Winauski, E. Somers, I.. Haussy, G. Somers, Rakausky, David Haussy, Adams. Second Row—C.

The May Fete, graduation, baccalaureate and assembly programs are among the many places where the chorus entertains. In order to learn their parts more thoroughly, Mr. Younkman has changed their practice schedule. The result of this hard work was the memorable performance given by the chorus in the Musical Review that was presented in February. One of our outstanding members of the chorus is that junior girl, Hetty Sereno. Her lovely soporano voice can be heard drifting throughout the corridors of W.T.H.S. at chorus practices. Besides her chorus work, Hetty sings at banquets, assembly programs, carnivals, and Musical Review, and in the May Fete. She is always willing to help out and should be commended for her hard work.

The main purpose of the club is to better the members so they will be able to get good secretarial jobs in the future. Camera Club The Camera Club, a new organization that orginated this year, is under the supervision of Mr. Fraser, our agriculture teacher. The pupils learn the correct way of taking and developing pictures. Their improvements in picture taking since the first meeting is unbelieveable. That they enjoy this club very much accounts for their many accomplishments. If the club continues to flourish as rapidly as at present it will, no doubt, in future years, be one of our most important clubs. Back Row—D. Sloan. Beyer. Ser-pinas, Green, Dudley. Middle Row—B.

Greenhouse Committee The Greenhouse Committee consists of six students selected by Miss Dovviatt to care for the plants in the school greenhouse. These students are chosen because of their ability to work, sometimes after school, without complaint. Some of their duties include watering, cultivating, and fertilizing plants, and ventilating and cleaning the greenhouse. Also they transplant young plants. The result of their work is a neat greenhouse with well-cultivated and healthy looking plants. Their pride is the beautiful lemon tree which they are caring for. Biology Club The Biology Club is composed of those students who take biology. This subject is not entirely limited to the classroom. The students show their interests by doing additional experiments and by individual development. As well as dissecting frogs and learning the fundamental functions of animals, their education is furthered by discussions, lectures, held trips, and movies of animal and plant life. The most interesting proved to be the held trips, where all the students have a wonderful time, along with the knowledge they acquire. Back Rote—L. Russian. Gilbreath, Virostek.

Senior Play “A Little Honey,” the Senior Class Play, proved to he an immense success as the seniors gave their all in the finale of their high school acting career. All the characters made a great showing as Mr. Alison’s cast came through. The cast, in part, is shown above. Other members of the cast are Betty Marriage, Mary Ann Shaw, Rose Marie Vogel, Theresa M avoras, Maria Pellizzari, Rette Lisick, Carl Merlie, and John Sowinski. Stage Managers Just like the unsung heros of the team, we have the uncredited laborer of the stage. Although they are given little credit and few people know that they exist, the stage managers have put in many long hours making the play a success. It is only fitting that they should be lauded because only through their efforts are we able to put on plays successfully. Good work boys! Paijc Forty R. Emery, Merlie, A. Youhas, Gillison. T. Fortner, Treas.; Fraser (adviser), Peck, Sec’y-I Robinson, Pres.; L. Haussy, Reporter. F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America, known around school as the F.F.A., is a very educational and interesting organization. This organization helps to teach farm boys as well as city boys, the fundamental things in farm life. These are things that will help the future farmers when they are out of school. As well as teaching them about agriculture, Mr. Frazier teaches the boys the importance of team work and cooperation. After their meetings, which are held every two weeks, the boys play basketball. This organization is under the direction of Mr. Fraser. To be in this club you must complete an active project. This includes chickens, gardens, hogs, or sheep. Front Row—H. Woods, J.

Ag School Every Tuesday night a group of local boys meet at W.H.S. to take a course in Ag. These boys are “ex-G.I.’s” and are taking the course under the G.I. Rill of Rights. Mr. hraser is their teacher and through him they visit nearby farms learning new and extensive agriculture. This is only one of the many G.I. courses offered. W.T.H.S. is proud that it can be of heip to our government and ex-servicemen. FRASER Ag. Instructor MR. FRASER The Ag. Dept, of W. T. H. S. has been very active this year, due to the capable direction of Mr. Fraser. Although Mr. Fraser has been here only a year, he has taken an active part in making W. T. H. S. Mr. Fraser is a graduate of U. of I. Ag. Dept, and teaches an extensive course here. Once a week he also teaches Ag. to the ex-G.I s. He is the consultant of the F.F.A. and has organized a new club which is called the “Camera Club. Mr. Fraser has truly proved his ability as a member of the W. T. H. S. faculty. Page Forty two SCENES OF VARIOUS ACTIVITIES COACH CHIC AS COACH WALKER COACH CHICAS Coach Chicas, better known as Sam, is a native of Westville. He was a graduate of W.H.S. and is now coaching toot hall here after finishing college. Although he has had a poor year, he put in many long hard hours on the held with little praise. I hough the boys lost most of their games, they are coming out of their awkwardness; and Chicas is confident of a more successful season next fall. Good luck next year, coach! COACH WALKER Coach Walker, hails from Cole City and is W.H.S. basketball coach. This is his first year here, and w ith a slow start he hopes to make next year a record year. Mr. Walker is a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan, where he played varsity basketball. The Football Team I he football team had an unsuccessful season this year. This can be partially contributed to the lack of experience among the boys.

Board During cold winter winds and zero weather at the football games, and at the basketball games, you will see the A.B.C. Board at work. The board has charge of selling and collecting tickets at the games, and with the many hundreds of people that come out for the games this proves to be a task. The A.B.C. Board is chosen by the “W” Association, Mr. Thomas and the Student Council. They are chosen for their cooperativeness and their well done work. The members chosen for possessing these qualities are Rose Marie Vogel, Chairman, assisted by Barbara Hathaway. Duane Peck, Bill Duke, and Bev-ehly McArdle. “W Association Chairman Peck, Duke, Hathaway, McArdle, Vogel. 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 during 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.

Page Fifty-four Librarians Under the capable direction of Mrs. Alexis, we have a well organized library. Whether the students come to read for pleasure, gather material for a theme, or look at college circulars, they can find them easily by the efficient library facilities. The carding, indexing, and filing are a great help in obtaining these things. The library is open in the mornings, at activity periods, and for a short time after school. In view of these facts, we should use the library at every opportunity, whether for work, school, or pleasure. ALEXIS Librarian SPEECH CONTESTANTS Three Westville High students, one junior and two freshmen, were entered in the District Speech Contest that was held at Georgetown on Saturday, March 1. The entries included Albert Gondry, “Juvenile Delinquency”, (original), Alan Wilkis, You Can’t Take It With You”, (oratorical declamation), and John Sabalasky, (extemporaneous).

The students and teachers go to the lunch room where a nourishing meal awaits them. The meals are piping hot and well balanced, providing the students and faculty with an excellent diet. Mrs. Gertrude Defebaugh is the careful supervisor of this Hot Lunch Program. She plans and prepares the meals with her capable assistants, Augusta Tourneur and Alma Johnson. Part of the meals is paid by the United Department of Agriculture and the Illinois Department of Education. The monthly payment of high school pupils complete the balance.
