Finally the big day in May arrives. For a moment the seniors forget that soon they will be graduating; the girls concentrate on their new formals, while the boys polish their cars and think of the girls they will take. At the hotel one saw proud young men with dignified young ladies at their sides. After the banquet they danced to the strains of the orchestra as a fitting climax to their social life at Westville High School.

THE OWL SOCIETY Each year the outstanding students who take part in high school activities outside the field of athletics are honored by being made members of the “Owl Society.” Six per cent of the students who are considered outstanding and helpful in school are chosen by the student council in the fall, and four per cent are chosen by the teachers in the spring. These “Owls” try to live up to the high standards of the society and promote higher ideals among the students.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY SING FOR YOUR SUPPER” One of the biggest hits of the year and one of the best productions put on in W.H.S. was this year’s senior play, “Sing for Your Supper.” It portrayed the life of typical teen-agers, their problems, love affairs, and events of all sorts. The crooner crooned, the teen-agers swooned, and the audience was enticed by the seniors captivating performance. Page Forty-two Valangeon, Polakes, Nigra, Alison, Sowinski A. B. C.

HOMECOMING QUEEN 1948 SALLY HART FOOTBALL It was easy to see why Richard Polancyak and Bill Kemna were chosen cocaptains of Westville’s team. Both boys have the desirable characteristics of leaders and showed their skill and ability throughout the season. Richard is going to go to Normal this year and Bill hopes to attend college also. 1 heir ability will be missed by next year’s team, but Westville’s loss will be Normal’s gain.

On August 25, 1947, thirteen lettermen reported to Coach Chicas to begin the football season. The prospects were, therefore, quite bright for the coming season. The team won the first two and then dropped one to 1 loopeston. But as the season rolled on, the team became more adept at playing the game, and eventually finished the season with six victories, one loss, and a tie with Georgetown at the annual “turkey-dav” game. Next year there will he a loss of eight good senior players, but this loss will be made up by the “future” players. Harp G. Brown Bossoloni CHEERLEADERS On September 5, the representatives of all the organizations in school chose Nona Earp, Gene Brown, and Betty Bossoloni as cheerleaders for 1948.

The following boys made points in the county: Youhas—Third in 440 Yerem—Second in mile Hycz—Third in disc-throwing LIBRARIANS Every year the library offers books and magazines to any student who wishes them. However, Mrs. Alexis cannot care for the library all day so some of the girls come to the rescue. These girls run the library, check books, and file cards. Their service is of great importance to the students of W.H.S. and their excellent work is greatly appreciated. Mrs. Alexis, the teacher with a sense of humor that frightens freshman, but she really doesn’t mean to, for we upperclassmen know her to be just teasing. Throughout the years she has aided many students to perfect their typing, and she has done a wonderful job keeping the library in order through her hard wrork. Faye Fifty-five J. Dillot G.
