At their monthly meetings they plan the matinee dances, and select part of the Owls and the queen candidates for Homecoming and May Fete. Each class is represented by two representatives except the Senior Class which has three representatives.

If they further their scholastic and athletic ability as they have, the Junior Class will, without a doubt, become an outstanding Senior Class. Through much hard work with the Junior Play and the selling of Christmas cards, they provided the Seniors with an enjoyable banquet.

This up and coming class is one of the hardest working groups about the school. In the past year they proved their ability by their outstanding sales in the magazine campaign and turkey sales. Some of the outstanding athletes in this class are Steve Sibons, Chuck Shapuras, John Chrostowski, and Vernon Cook. This class also rates high because of their scholastic ability, and a look at the last year's honor roll will reveal that these sophomores rank high among the students. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS The Freshman Class was led by their red-headed president, George Anderson; vice-president, Russel Shaw; secretary-treasurer, Rosemarie Orlea; and student council representative, Ronald Hible; with such a capability and initiative so unusual for beginning students.

They are known for having a very outstanding class and going to carry on their good work in the rest of the years to come in Dear Old Westville High School. e First Row: Sloan, Cimo, N., Orlea, S.

OWL SOCIETY The Westville Township High School Owl Society was established a quarter of a century ago. It is an outstanding honorary society, the members of which are selected by the faculty and the student council. These students are feted to two banquets a year where they are entertained by well-known speakers. These “Owls try to live up to the high standards of the society and promote higher ideals among the students. Such a student well deserves the honor of becoming an Owl. Above: NORMA CIMO Center: P.

THE NEWSPAPER STAFF The Newspaper Staff of ’48-'49 is composed of a hard working group of students. The Westville High is published every three weeks, and under the editorship of Barbara Hathaway, the news is thoroughly covered. Mrs. Blake-ney is the adviser. DRUM MAJORETTE The drum majorette of 1949 was Norma Cimo, a cute senior girl with outstanding ability. Norma, assisted by five majorettes, led the W.T.H.S. band in several parades. MAJORETTES The majorettes this year did a very good job by attending football games and leading the band as an added attraction. They also have taken part in many other programs. Cimo, Kerns, DuFour, Howell, Rippon, James. BAND The band is under the direction of George Younkman. They play at football and basketball games and march in many parades. Their greatest exhibition was at Charleston, where they displayed their best marching and playing ability. The band has always been a great asset to Westville High School. CHORUS “Music soothes the savage beast”. What is more beautiful than a song especially when it is rendered by a chorus of talented girls. The chorus certainly provided W.T.H.S. with this enjoyment throughout the past year. First Row: Alumbaugh, Razaitis, R. Vacketta, Delhaye, L. Delaunois, Patten, Nieminski, B. Dukeman. Second Row: H.

The May Fete, graduation, carnival, and assembly programs are only a few of the many performances that are made around the school. The capability of the students and their efficient leader makes it a great success.

Its purpose is to develop the student’s art of speech, relative particularly to the affirmative and negative propositions, and in so doing to widen the horizon on the student’s vision, and to make him democratic in every respect. JUNIOR PLAY This year’s junior play was “Parents Are Like That”. After changing advisors and much hard work on the part of the cast, the play was a huge success. DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY “Aunt Susie Shoots the Works” was the play for the year. It was a hilarious success. Members of the cast were chosen by Miss Somers, who advises the club. These members were from every class. N. CIMO R. ORLEA M. ALISON H. VACKETTA — First Row: Mary Kerns, Harry Shaw, Lea Hennette, Gene Libert. Second Row: Joy Harcarik, Doris Polakes, P. J.

ALBERT MIGLIN MARIE SLEVA WALTER GODELS ALUMNI The Alumni Association, an organization which has done much fine work for the benefit of graduates of W.H.S., should be highly commended for its fine work. Meetings are held throughout the year to uphold the traditions of Westville High and to sponsor various activities, such as the annual alumni banquet and alumni dance. The officers are: President..........................Walter Godels Vice-President.....................Albert Miglin Secretary.....................Marie Sleva Treasurer.............................Don Merlie HOT LUNCHES On our hot lunch program we have two cooks, the first being Mrs. Gertrude Defebaugh, and the second, Mrs. Louise Lete. Gertrude has been here quite some time, and Mrs. Lete has been here a little over a year. The two prepare hot lunches for some 150 students, and by their friendliness have gained many friends. THE JANITORS Fred Lafferty, Martin Kovonic, and Joe Adonitis, are the maintenance men of W.T.H.S. All during the summer months they work endlessly to ready the school for the coming year.
