Westwood High School - Chipmunk Yearbook (Westwood, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1943 volume:

Dedication The aim of education, the hope of society is that the bud of romance shall flower into an ideally happy home. A classic example of such married love is Elizabeth and Robert Brown- ing, the famous poets, who were partners in work, play, joy, sorrow, service, life. In the belief that we in Westwood High have been privileged for the last five years to live and work with such another couple, we dedicate this issue of the CHIPMUNK to Marjorie and Ray Haskell. 2 Foreword We have selected “Romance” for the theme of our 1943 Chipmunk be- cause this “War Torn World” is still rich with Love—Love of Country—Love of Mankind—Love of Nature—Love of God. We believe that Universal Love is not dead or dying—but vibrant, vital and alive. To this “Truth,” we dedicate this book, our thoughts, our lives. One of the world’s greatest romanticists was Robert Louis Stevenson. His “Requiem,” which appears over his grave on the summit of Vaea Moun- tain, in the Samoan Islands, besides being a part of our beautiful literary heri- tage, expresses the romantic philosophy. REQUIEM “Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie; Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. “This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.” Stevenson worked with feverish intensity on one of his greatest novels on the very day of his death. This world, to him, was not a vale of tears, but a happy, adventurous, inspiring place, where great discoveries could be made in science, in social welfare, and in appreciations and creative expressions in the arts. Romance was, to him, and today it still is, a happy, beautiful, whole- some way of life. 4 AA Wilson. Basic 8A, 11 A, Dramatics; Miss Constance Benson. Homemaking, Nu- trition; Miss Joan Taylor.

Gee, what a letdown to come from Grammar School, where we were the “big shots,” to the school where those seniors look at us as if we were still in rompers! Marilyn Pappa, our president, stood up for our rights, though. We sure were proud when we won the Singing Trophy! I guess we showed those upper grads, all right! 1939 . . . Katy Miller led us this year and we had loads of fun at our fre- quent parties. You should see how those little seventh graders look up to us! £ n 1940 . . . Boy, do the Freshmen get kicked around in this school! Bob Yanger showed them though. We had our first night party so I guess we are really grown up! 1941 . . . How did we ever get to be Sophomores?! Tommy Foster did a bang-up job as president. Highlights of the year were our swimming party at Susanville and the picnic at Clear Creek. 1942 . . . We really got a hand in things this year—but those seniors! Anyway, we buried the hatchet long enough to have a grand time at our joint picnic and prom. Kenny Silva cut out the work for us to do and everyone lent a hand. 1943 . . . It's unbelievable! It just couldn’t be! Imagine—we little kids are SENIORS! Allen Gentry is our president and he handles his job cap- ably. I wonder if those seventh graders look up to us like we did to the seniors? So many of our boys left for the service, but we were proud to see them go. SENIOR COUNCIL Back Row — Left to Right: Jones, Mer- va, Thompson, Mil- ler, Plaetke.

Those fun-loving Juniors jumped right through the year, romancing, dancing and prancing, to keep their morale high and to boost the other class- es also. Everyone has been talking of the success of the Junior Victory Dance at which defense stamp corsages were sold. They have done well on their many sales. Teamwork of the Junior and Senior classes resulted in maxi- mum profit—economically and socially at the Junior-Senior Prom and Picnic. President ............................

Orchestra The sweet and sentimental music of the High School Orchestra has fos- tered many a romance around Westwood High. Many assemblies, dances, and noon dances have been enriched by this group of young musicians, and they have obtained greater recognition than ever before. Chorus Crooning ballads, love songs, hymns, classical and popular songs, the Chorus, under Mr. Robert Smith’s direction, dressed in their soldier-blue chorus gowns to give many performances. Among these were the Varsity Show, school assemblies, Open House, the Spring Concert, and Sunday morning Worship Service of the People’s Church. Band Under the admirable direction of Mr. Robert Smith, the band has pre- sented a most successful and varied program. Their activities included the Varsity Show, several assembly programs, appearances at the more important football and basketball games, and a prominent part in the Open House pro- gram. The big event of the year came on May 5, when they held their An- nual Spring Concert. Denman Thompson, as band captain, was supported by Kathleen Miller and John Zoller, section leaders. This year, for the first time, the band made records of their morale-building music. Westwood High is honored in possessing such an excellent musical or- ganization. 19 Top Row: Martinez, Holmes, Chamncss, Shook, Gibson, Gianotti. Lance, Rather. Middle Row: Franklin.

Miss Wilson’s 8A pre- sented the never-to-be-forgotten Christmas play, “Why the Chimes Rang.” A joint seventh-eighth grade skating party, several sales and Basic Course Christmas parties comprised their year’s achievements.

Swinging quickly into line, the seventh grade displayed the most school spirit of all the classes by winning the Singing Trophy and yelling and singing the loudest in rally assemblies. Their aim of making their class into one whole unit and developing leadership was well begun. Three skating parties and several sales made up their activities.

Working diligently and unselfishly, they planned and pre- sented assemblies, promoted several Student Body Dances, attended to the affairs and business of the Student Body and created an air of sociableness and unity throughout the school. s I u D £ n I Left to Right: Graff.

The Student Court may be the school sleuths, but they failed to track down the identity of Miss X who has written many a billet doux to Associate Judge Rod MacDonald. Aside from this fact, however, the Student Court did much to maintain order in the halls and at assemblies. Under the guidance of Mr. Bratton they helped during air raid drills and fire drills. 26 Left to Right: Seely, Davis, Neipoth. Connelly, Geddis, Knoll. Schulz. MacDonald. J. Connelly. Miller.

Executive Committee Every Tuesday morning at eight o’clock the Student Body Officers, a representative from each class and Miss Doris Geddis, Student Body Advisor, meet to discuss and handle the affairs of the students. Planning assemblies, dances, games, and directing the work of various committees kept them hop- ping throughout the year. Their willingness and capableness are commend- able. Administrative Council The Administrative Council, composed of faculty members and a student from each senior high class, is a democratic body organized to make laws and rules for the student body. They also make decisions concerning the gen- eral welfare of the school, and handle habitual Student Court offenders. Top Row: MacDonald, Campos, Stuart Mitchell. Middle Row: Ronald Cox, Miller.

H. was responsible for the yummy smells that came forth from the kitchen when faculty luncheons, banquets, or just “feed fests” were being prepared. Their successful Valentine Dance proved that they have ways of bringing couples together—by soft lights, sweet music, and meaningful decorations. Other activities of these industrious homemakers whose purpose was “to pro- mote interest and skill in homemaking among the girls,” were to render help to anyone desiring their services in making displays, arranging flowers, pre- paring banquets, and on serving projects.

Its purposes were to arouse interest and participation in commercial work in the school, and to render community service whenever and wherever possible. The club’s ac- tivities included sales, parties, giving assistance to the ration boards during gas and point rationing, helping with collections for the Red Cross, and a typing contest, which was concluded at the Commercial Club Assembly. Dona Lee Read was the winner of the typing contest trophy, and received a small gold cup: President .............................Joe Knoll Vice-President ......................Bob Beadnell Secretary-Treasurer ..........Jean Hammerstrom Adviser ............................Mrs. Haskell Last Row: Beadnell.

Tri-Y, Hi-Y The Hi-Y boys and Tri-Y girls stepped lively throughout the school year, cooperating for the school’s mutual enjoyment and well being. Their striving “to create, maintain, and expand in the school and community high standards of Christian living” influenced themselves and their friends to have a higher moral pattern. Norma Conley and Denman Thompson, ringleaders of the two organiza- tions, joined their groups for several successful parties and meetings.

In their new more important role in senior high activities and events, the Freshman class as a whole turned all out to work and help the school in its war work. The class performed a real service in sponsoring and success- fully completing the Red Cross Drive in the school. They took time out for fun at their skating party and various sales. President ....

Junior Journalists Major catastrophes and loads of trouble couldn’t stop this year’s Chip- munk Staff! Due to the war and rationing, the staff had a hard time securing materials, but finally sent the copy to the printer—and just under the dead- line! This 1943 Yearbook was compiled under the skillful leadership of Edi- tor Peggy Jones and the following associates: Assistant Editor, Beryl Becker; Business Manager, Margaret Perry; and Assistant Business Manager, Norma Haueter. Introducing the first printed Lumberjack the school has ever had, this staff worked hard to put out the many interesting editions of the school paper. Dorothy Plaetke served as a willing and capable editor during the year. LUMBERJACK STAFF Top Row: Gleason. Dunn, Foster, Yanger, Connelly. Middle Row: Neipoth. Langley, Mrs. Elinor Boezinger, Morton.

A. in line with their new, strenuous sports program designed to teach the girls sportsmanship, game skills, and to provide recreation from their studies. «A new points system and the practice of giving ribbons for making teams were two factors which partially accounted for the increased interest in G.A.A. activities. By sponsoring the Sadie Hawkins Dance in the fall, the G. A. A. gave all the gals a chance to get their ’Lil Abners. Their Easter Bunny Hop, selling candy and hot dogs at games and making pompoms and selling tickets for the Big Game were some of their successful money-raising ventures. Their minstrel show assembly proved to be one of the best of the year. These seniors below really strutted the whole year in their Block “W” letters and sweaters.

They got off to a good start by beating the Alumnae, and by the end of the season they had won two out of the five games they played. Graduating seniors this year are Bob Yanger, Joe Olsen, Emmett Doer- ing, Luke Gardiner, Jack Connelly, Bruce Merrill, Bill Seely, John Zoller, Fred Funk and Wallace Schulz. Uncle Sam’s forces claimed a number of the boys from the football team including Fred Funk, Mike Favero, and Douglas Gardiner.

The changes in our ski program certainly symbolized the general changes that were wrought in our entire school program. A California State Cham- pionship Ski Team traded exciting ski meets for long one, two and three day trips in the snow. Equipped with rucksacks, sleeping bags, primus stoves and other equip- ment, the newly formed Ski Patrol, under the leadership of Mr. Ray Haskell, spent all their skiing time travelling cross country to Homer Lake, Summit Lake, Hamilton Peak, Eagle Lake and other points. The highlight of the year was the forty mile, four day trip in the Mt. Lassen Park area. The Junior Ski Patrol started their ski training by practicing a lot and having two special trips—one to Dyer Mountain and one to Coppervale.

A Love Game Spring fever certainly influenced the tennis players around Westwood High this season, for “love games” were played every afternoon! The tennis courts were probably the most popular places around the school, since the gang usually congregated there. Two boys’ tennis matches were played with Susanville, but the girls were restricted to intramural games. By playing two tournaments a week, the girls determined their places on the ladder.
