11 Yes, there were many hours of practice and hard work put into Carousel, but as most people will agree, they were worthwhile.

Leading the troupe of showmen were Mickey Elley and Kathy Hybl whose outstanding performances gave the show o professional touch. Candy Wheeler and Ken Ploss played convincing secondary roles and Pam Mahnke and Ron Adams skillfully added the necessary evil Also working hard were the danc e rs and other members of the cost who seem to show improve ment with every production. With e very musical there is more work which pays off with increasingly beHer results.

Hard work is not new to members of Top Choir because about six years ago the first musical, A Woltx Dream, starring Top Choir director Mr. William Kellogg, began the musical tradition. Good News followed, starring Gail Pol'ish and Ned Criscimagno, and later come The King and I, featuring Jana Doxon and Craig Zamzow This pair also led the cast of South Pacific last yea r The 1961 -62 year was opened with the production of Oldahomo! which was double cast with Mickey Elley, Kathy Hybl, Greg Eden, and Charlotte J ones.

Not only hove Top Choir members displayed their tal ent in musicals but they hove also su ng with the Omaha Symphony Orche stra March 25 and in community concerts and church groups. They hove entered contests, winning many outstanding awards.

Many times other activities hove overshadowed the efforts of this g roup but I think we all owe a great deal to the Top Choir and Mr. Kellogg for their many contrib uti ons to Westside.

S. T

The purpose or the course is to add to the student's background in literature. "This course is offered in addition to the requlred curriculum to any student who wants this academic background," slated Mrs, 'Kelley. "It may not be substituted £or the regular four year progr am."

Finally they found some coal. "But you can't use that,'' exclaimed Reba "ll looks like black diamonds." They dldu't get out of the ditch until the owner of the nearest bouse, Art Lorenz, 11ulled them out.

Sophistication and poise -Sj)arkle and talent- all are words that c l assmates ha-ve used to describe Susan "S. J. " Johnson, the WHS senior with a gleam Ln her eye.

"Everybody has favorite Arts or talents they pursue • pun, pun!" Susan stated with a perky smUe. Susan's "favorite talent" i s drama. In the recent Senior Class P l ay, Goodbye, My Fancy, Susan Johnson Impressed many In her convtnelng portrayal of ''Woody,'' the congresswoman's secretary.

What's ln her future? "My pet. dream has always been to teach on an Indian reservation, but I'll probably teach some trpe ot English on the blgh school level."

Who but Dick Cefrey would say, ''I like to pracuce duck calling even when the duck season Isn't. on; lt.'s kind of tun to see lt 1 can get the ducks to come ln-eourse they oever do"?

Dick is a tall, agile fellow who Is known among his classmates for his sense of humor (who else would sit 1D a blind and call ducks) and his muslcal abillty.

"I play the guitar and bass in !.be Tradewinds Combo and the C t banjo in a dLtieland group," said errey Dick with his customaTy emile. He p)aye<l his guitar in the recent jazz concert at school.

Perhaps the reason tor some of these student groans Is due to the AAHPER (Association of American Health, I'hYsica.l Education, and Recreation), tests now being given In the junior high boy6' at1d girls' PE classes. According to Mr. Wayne Wagner. boys' PE teacher. t.he test consists o! se,•en pans. They are pull-ups, slt·UllS, standing broad jump, 50-yard dash, 660-yard runwalk, soft ball throw, and the shuttle run.

Mrs. Dlane Peterson, girls' PE instructor, relates that her classes have been working on an "intensity program,'' or four timed exercises designed to Improve the scores on the AAHPER tests.

school."

Is it true whal they say about Westside? Does money really "drip'' from the wa ll s of the school? Do the students aU drive foreign cars to school, 01· ru·e they chauffeured? Al·e aU West=-ide fathers tycoons?

To some Wesbide1·s, these accusations may sound baseless and ridiculous. To others, who have been at \\"'HS for some time. they bring back painful t·ecoJJections.

Students who have gone to Westside for any length of time know that these statements are ridiculous. But even though they may be fRetless, many teenagers from other schools take them as documentru'Y truths.

Because of these false rumors, Westsiders have often been the targets of slander and unrelenting criticism from st ud ents of othe1· schools, notably in and around Omaha.

Why Westside'/ Traditionally, whenever a new, modern school is bum around Omaha, it immediately becomes the object of malicious gossip; gossip which soon attains such monumental dimensions that it is unable to be quelled. Wheth.e1· this criticism is due to envy or simple prejudices on the part of other students, no one seems to know.

It happened to Benson Iligh before we came, and now it is happening to us. Many WIIS students, in the midst of a crowd of teenagers from other schools, have actually been ashamed to admit they attend Westside, for fear of making enemies of their newly-found fdends.

No school can become great if its members are ashamed of it.

Westside has so much to be proud of-its fine reputation, its wonderful school spirit, its commendable standard of educ.ation.

So, be proud, Warriors. And, in the future, should you ever be heckled in public by another student, don't return a snide remark. Rather, joke about it and offer a friendly commentthe only kind befitting a Warriot· and Westside.

School has started; nine months lie ahead waiting to be conquered. The thrills or heartbreaks, joys or sorrows, successes or failures of them depends largely upon us.

It can be a year of new friends, new interests, and good This could be a year of becoming a part of our schQ91hy participating in various clubs, attending games, and studying seriously.

ll can be a year filled with lessons too; lessons learned in and out of school books. We can learn the square root of 512 well as the ability to give of ou1·selves to make others happy. We can learn the anatomical structure of the body, and at the !'arne time learn of the wonders a happy smile can do.

Indeed, Westside is a school which offers many oppot·tunities. Yet, what about those students who won't take advantage of these opportunities? What of the students with the "1-don't-cire" attitude, who will slide through this year without applying themselves'? What about the students who will attend, yet never contribute to the school, and thus will nevel' know the joy of school spirit?

Many adult.s call the teen-age years the "happiest years.'' They say lhe.c;e are the years of fun, when we can enjoy life at its fullest. Yet, they fail to tell us how rapidly these years pass.

Haven't you noticed how qwckly the school years seem to pass? Haven't you often wished that the clock could cease running for just a short while?

ll is up to us to make the most of this year, for "opportunity only knocks once." And, as the old adage states, "Once you pass youth's portals you can never return again."

"Westside's Senate? Oh, sure, I've heard about it. What is it? Well, it's er it's gosh, I guess I really don't know too much about it, do I?"

Most Westsiders have hem·d about the newly formed Senate, yet many of them, li ke the fictitious Warrior above, do 11ot really know exactly what it is.

The Senate was c1·eated by the Student Council to help them with the projects which they hope to undertake this year. Each home room has elected one representative, who will in tum meet with the Council once a month.

Under the new pt·ogram, the 15 membe1·s of the Student Council will net as the ''executive council." They will plan functions which the Senate will help them carry out. Right now, the main activity being planned is the Homecoming parade. but others arc also being considered. Among these are the "Fun for Food" campaign, the decoration of the halls at Christmas. a faculty hnsketball gRme, and the chartering of tmins for games.

of luck to the Student Council and the Senate!

The fo llowing letter reached the editor's box; we feel that we should share it with you.

Dear Members of the Faculty:

I have now been in schoo l for only seventeen days, yet this has been sufficient time for me to realize what a priceless gift was given to me at Westside I know hundreds of graduates have written back and expressed their hea rtfelt thanks just as I am doing But, few have been faced with the same situation, I am sure. However, I am also su re that all of t hese graduates ultimately reached t he mom ent in their college c aree r, as I have , when they sudde nly realize the full sig nific ance of their high school training.

If time permitted, I would certainly write to each te a cher individually, thanking them personally for the particular piece of knowledge they made available for my complete education.

I sincerely believe that without the background that was offered me at Westside, I would definitely not be able to stay afloat at the Academy (U S. Merchant Marine Academy ) Once again, I express my deepest thanks to the entire staff of that tremendous institution, Westside.

Respectfully yours, TERRY BUSSKOHL '61

Of cow·se we are, a nd tigh t now the Red Feather-Red Cross organizations are giving us a ch ance to prove it. They are holding lhcir United Drive throughout Omaha from now until Oct 21.

Money coUected will be spe n t in various ways, but most of i t wiU be spent on children. It is rather hard for us to understand the necessity of t h is money, since we Warriors are so fortunate. Yet, let' s think about t h e unfortunate children : the orphan s, crippled children, and cerebral palsy victims. l\lany have never had the opportunity to attend football games. dances, or parties. Many have ne\"er even eaten three meals a """--"=-=o.--=--day, -while the majority of us find it hard to limit our food intake to t hree meals.

The money collected goes into other fields also. It helps support the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, YWCA, and various old people's homes. Where else could we spend our money so wisely?

It is up lo us to prove how "good" we Warriors are; for, as the Red Feather-Red Cross slogan states, "Every good guy gives."

Mrs. Severine, head cook, ex· plained, "The school has grow n so large that we needed a moro accurate system."

Though menus are written a week in advance, the kitchen atatr never knows the exact number eating lunch each d ay. Thus, one Item may be substituted for the original in later lunch llnea, due to unexpected demand.

Food is served in ataggerlng amonnts. In an average day, stu; dents consume 800·900 lba. of potatoes. 250-300 Jbs. of meat. 1.600-l,'iOO cartons o f milk, 200· 250 lbs. of leafy vegetables or fruit, and 80-90 loaves of bread

Lowry Plays With WHS Band

Cla.rlnetlst Bob Lowry played with the Warrior Band. They performed a. routine called "The Licurlce Stick Story." ln this piece he showed the use of the clarinet ln lbe development or popular music. Such clarinet greats as "Let's Dance," by Benny Goodman; ''Woodch«Ulper's Ball," by WoOdy Herman. and Artie Shaw's "Begin the Beguine," were used in tell ing this musical story. The Tall Glrlsj Marching Squad did a routine during this presentation.

This was the llrsl time Bob Lowry bad ever performed at a halttime program with a high school band, according to Mr. Darwin Snyder, music director. Mr. Snyder and Bob Lowry mel at MornIngside College.

The hal!-tlme entertainment preparations received a serious setback when U1e g ame, scheduled t.o be played at Westside, was shifted to Municipal Stadium Mr. Snyder !eared tbat the distance rrom the performers to the spectators would be too tar for the band and Mr Lowry to be heard., since the football deld, on whlch they would play, ls lald out across lbe baseball outfield. However, tbts problem was surmounted by 11lactng the band in the lntleld. Mr. Lowry has a built-In amplifier In his clarinet so the football fans were able to enjoy his performance after all.

lie was a center tn seventh grade. a tackle in eighth, a member or t.he troab team, and student manager his sophomo r e year because o! injury. His Junior year he was oul because of broken ribs.

"I guess I've been playing football ever since I could walk " man even 11ortr ayed a football player in the Junior Class play, FA"c-r Since Eve.

Warriors Seek Win

b y l>a.\"e AU e o Arter !our losses, Westside seeks lts first win over Omaha North tonight. at Westside's sta· dlum. North hns woo four games and appears to be a very strong opponent. T he Vlkings are led by quarterback Bob Churcblch and a strong running back, Danny MUJer. "Blue and gold" hopes are further bolstered by a. strong de!enslve Une.

Past Warrior performances have lacked In certain respects; yet the TJOtentlal o! the team hM been demonstrated. In an Important contest with an excellent op,ponenl potentialities can be realIzed.

In the c r ucial game with Creighton Prep, two weeks earlier, WestaJde began on a Jittery note with

a fumble setting up a Prep down. The Warriors came with a touchdown drive to taln contention. Defenses soon came weakened, however, as versatile PreQ offense talUed times to make the score 36-7. Westside Invaded Bellevue Friday night A seemingly manding lead was created first half.

ln lhe second baH, an team labored against a yielding defense: by Warrior rumbles, the talns scored twice to win 12-9. A week of bard prepardtion been spent for tonight's With IJroper support, lbo riors wlll surely give a account or themselves.

Have you ever thought about how different life would be without n ewspapers? What would we cover our books with or wrap our garbage in? What would we start bonfires with or swat at flies with?

Yet. there is a more serious side too. What would America be like without new spapers; news papers that are free to print an uncensored truth? Yery seldom do we stop to think about how lucky we are to ha-ve the freedom of the press that we enjoy Only 4 4 co unt ries in the world have this freedom; the other 96 countries have a controlled pt·ess.

With our free press we can criticize, praise, or completely avoid a subject. No topic is restricted by the government fi·om being written about. Our papers have, and can, adopt either a challenging or p1·aising attitude about everything from politics to luxury tax. Even if we disagree with a paper's views, we find our thoughts stimulated.

This is National Newspaper Week. We Americans have a lot to be thankful about, for we enjoy free and "multi-purposed" newspapers. J. N.

"Look how short that girl's skirt is!" "Where are you going after lhe game, Todd's or McDonald's?" "\Vhere's my camera : I've got to take a picture of the band."

How many time s have you heard a statement similar to these or perhaps been guilty of saying them yourself? There is really nothing wrong with saying them, but they were said at the wrong time. These words were spoken during t he raising of the tla g or whil e the "Star Spangled Banner'' was being played at a football game.

Many times as people stand in silent respect while the flag is being raised, students will burst out laughing, adults will stand and talk, or someone else will be watching the c1·owds of people hurriedly buying tickets for the football game. These people are not lhinldng of the true meaning of the American fl ag.

Bow many of us really realize the greatness of the heritage with which we have been endowed? Sometimes we take our r ights for granted because they have been simply handed down to our generation. The fiag of America often means more to foreigners because they have never before experiencd these Jfe&t .When the stars and stripes are displayed, migr.wt p(ten show more for the ftag than natn e-bOro

Should we have to be s ho wn when to pay respect to our American fiag? II we do, then perhaps we are in a better state of mind for Communism than the Russians hoped for.

S.T.

"Neither rain nor s leet, snow no1· hail" can stop our Warrior band. They have practiced in all types of weather to present us with their half-time shows. Accompanied by the drill squad and the Squires (tall girls), they have practiced for and presented three game shows this year.

Often when we arrive at sc hool we can see th e drill squad members goi ng thl·ough their routines out on the field. And, - sixth hour the sound of marching music has drift ed into our classrooms many times, causing even more excitement for the forthcoming games.

Yet. the many hout-s of practice are certainly appreciated, for don't you feel a new p1·ide in Westside as the band ma r ches out on the field? The b1;ght-colo1 ed uniforms and their marching precision seem to typify Westside.

A hearty thanks to the band and marchers for their fine performances I

"Good backfield speed, balance, and depth are the contributing taotors to the Reserve Football Teams' two win and three loss record this season," stated reserve coach Bill Battey.

Looking forward to a successful season after a 13 - 0 romp over South, the junior Warriors lost a heartbreaker on an intercepted pass In a 7-0 loss to North. On the next outing, Lincoln Northeast put back the Warriors 13 - 7. A morale booster came with a 12-7 wiD over Benson in an aerial battle. In the next game wJth Tech, t.he down-town team showed speed and rocketed to a 27-20 defeat at the Warriors' exp@se.

For three years Senior Ron Aue r bach has been an asset to the Warrior varsity football team. Playing fullback on the offensive unit and linebacker on the defensive is this letterman. Another of Ron's duties Is centering the football for Warrior punts.

Obviously, Ron ' s favorite spor t is football.

"Our opening game with Benson is the one which I consider the best so far this season," claims Ron. The reason for this, he said, was "because we were all really up for Ben.son. It it weren't for the bad breaks ln the game, we would have won. Our passing was really good that night."

Ron said that "the team spirit has bad its ups and downs but as a. whole, it has been especially good."

"It's real fine," said John L uckasen, Wa rrior right end, about the Wests ide varsity football team. "I 've played on a team that' s as much of a as this one."

Westside invades Northeast Wednesday night, tor a game which could make a. success out ot Lhe Warrior season Currently ranked number one In the state by some experts, Northeast has shown a diversified attack and a stingy defense.

Their only weakness seem s to b e the S lOW• n ess of t h e line. Hastlngs, last wc.ek, capitalized on this weakness a nd the Lincoln lads were nearly toppled from their l ofty by a far inferior team.

Northeast is not the best team In the state. Furthermore they are far from unbeatable. Oct. 25 could be a good example of t h is fact.

Two notables In the Westside football picture the past two games have been Barry Halla and Pete Ridgeway. Barry's tough defensive play, especially In the Fremont fracas, kept the Fremont ground game from getting started more than once. Pete has shown himself the most improved player this year. A member of last year's reserve team, his determined and hard charging type o f running has brought Warrior fans to their feet repeatedly. Keep up the good work.

Tomorrow night, the South High Packers host the Warriors at Omaha Municipal stadium. Led by Nick Crum, South plays a hard nose type of ball. Westside, after lostng a heart-breaker to Fremont, rides In on a live-game losIng streak to thls game.

This last statement does the Warrior season llttl e justice. This writer, having seen South twice, will go wlth Westside on the basis ot more talent and a certain soothsayer.

Red and Black to Try For First Win

By Dave Allen

The South High School Packers with a record ot two wins an d tour losses, are the Warrio r s' seventh opponent this week. The Packers have beaten Central and Thomas Jefferson, while losing to Benson, Prep, North, and Tech. A strong team b u t capable of being defeated, they are Westside's fourth Intercity League opponent.

In the past they were the only League team to lose to a Westside team. In 1969 at Municipal Stadium, the Warriors were able to down South in the first year of competition in the Omaha conference. Then, as now, neither team had been successful previously. Weatslde Is looking tor a win and may find It at Muny Stadium with South the vanquished.

Campaigning Gives Juniors Experience In Goverment

"It Is the best possible way of informing high school students about their county government. The campaign gives the student true-to-life experience of" what lt would be like to run tor an office in the county government," commented Shari Freed senior, when what she thought about county government which begins Dec. 1.

Kathy Llerley, senior, said: "It Is very good because It acquaints you with county government."

Mr. Wayne Glidden says, "Of all the areas of knowledge about the area least understood is the county. This Is unfortunate, because county government affects us more directly tban any other unit ot government. It Is our purpose in this study to become better acquainted with t h is locale of government."

Donnie Jones, a junior who Is looking forward to county government this year, said, "It's going to be a lot of fun and an easy way to learn about county government.''

This yeal' county government will run somewhat different. From Dec. 1 to Dec. 7 American History students will attend lectures condncted by Mrs. Clara Dunn, Mr. Glidden, Mr. Bert Speece and Mr Dick Winchell, aU American History teacpers. During the week ot Dec. 11 the students wil l be tested over the lectures. start their cam· paign, and have the election.

School-sponso r ed clubs are supposed to prepare students for a userul future; however, sometimes their money-making projects are not as practical as they might be.

''District 66 is building a bomb shel ter! They're going to build an underground school!"

These misleading statemen ts have spread through Westside, shocki ng and s urpri s ing many stud ents Actually, a bomb shelter is not being built. According to School Superintendent Vaughn Phelps there is, howeve r, a committee being formed to explore ways of protecting studen ts f r om radio -active particles created by a nuclear blast. H e also indicated that an underground sc hool idea is being looked into, but ver y cautiously.

Mr Phelps said, " Today, everyone talks about the perilous times. Yet, 140 years ago a farmer had to always carry a musket to protect his life. Of course we must be concerned, yet we must be calm too.''

As Mr. P he lps indicated, it would be naive of us not to r ecognize that a problem does exist It is now r ecognized that chances are 11 to 12 that if there were a blast it would occur during the hours when studen ts are in sc hoo l. So, in a somewhat "middle of the road" manner, the commi ttee is inves tigating the possibilities, trying to seek a possible solution fo r us if bombs should fall.

"Go for Broke!"

This is a familiar cry heard around Westside, yet often we yell it without knowing its meaning. The yell was incorporated by Mr. Jerry Koch , former basketball coac h, to promote team spirit by giving the boys something common to believe in. The team chan ts t his s logan before they came out of the huddle. T hey have a large "Go for Broke" sign hanging over their dressing r oom door, which they a Jl jump up and touch before running onto the floor.

The yell originated in World War ll in the 442 JapaneseAmerican battalion of t h e American Fifth Army. The soldiers u sed it to mean t h ey would give t h ei r best-and t h ey did. They were the nation's most highly decorated unit during the war.

Thu s, thi s s logan has a lo t of meaning behind it. The team takes it seriou sly and s o sho uld we; for in its own way it is a symbol of Westside.

Peace on the Earth, Good Will To All Me

'Tis the season to be greedy

This seems to be the theme of Christmas nowadays. People talk about how much Christmas is costing them, what gifts they want, and exclaim how th ed they are. The true meaning of Christmas has been forgotten. In its place has crept a commercial attitude regarding this wondrous time of the year

What has happened to Christmas? It should be a period to renew old friendships and to l.tnite with one's family. It sho uld be the time of the year when people open their hearts and let love pour forth

Yet today too many are caught in their ruts of wo1·ry and haste. They spe nd so much time rushing that they never truly find the Christmas spirit.

Don't let this happen to you. "Seek and ye shall find," Jesus once said. Seek the love, faith, and brotherhood Christmas offers and you will find it.

The Student Lounge should be closed.

Indeed, with all the lack of interest, lack of respect, and lack of use this room has received, there is no reason for it to remain open.

The Student Council created the Lounge because the stores at the Village complained that they were sick and tired of having students loiter outside them. So, the room was created to give Westsiders a place to go after school. They were wanted here.

Instead, it has been mistreated since its opening. Today, all it is rea11y used for is a so UI·ce of food and pop. Students still trudge over to the Village a nd loiter.

The Senate has now taken on the responsibility of trying to create interest in the Lounge. They are planning to make it into a senior lunchroom. Under the proposed plan, seniors will be able to go there and eat. Pop machines are to be installed ; food won't be served.

And yet, how good an idea is this? Will the seniors and underclassmen u se the Lounge? Or will it again r emain empty and unused?

This school needs mor e classrooms. If students want a Student Lounge they sho uld support it. Otherwise, it should be closed. Un less you, the student body, take an interest in the Lounge, there is no rea son for it to remain open. !N

Woody has competed in several plano contests, and won the State contest. For the last three years he has attended Ro cky Ridge Music Center ln Estes Park, Colo. While attending last summer, he started working on the "Third Movement of the SE:cond Piano Concerto In C by RachmanJnotr" which he played with the Westside Symphonette.

A Merry Christmas to You from All of Us Warriors to Meet Eagles; Reserves Post AL Win

By R-on Aclams

Westside's bid for its first victory fell short last Friday night on the Warrior's home court. A bucket by Senior Joel Jessen broke a 59-69 deadlock and sent the Lynx out ahead to stay.

'l'be 'VIU'rlors seemed on t h e war to a major upset when big Bob Garrett drew his fifth fonl mid-way tbr-ough the fourth quar• ter. At that. t>oint tho tide seemed to turn and the Council Btu1Js boys went on to take a BZ-70 decision.

The Wanlors were lead by John Luckasen who hit tor a very creditable 28 polnts.

The Warrior's next two games are with Central and Creighton Prep. Central has become the dark horse of the Intercity race nnd should be tougb. Prep is led by 6'6" sophomore Wt\lly Anderzunas who Is aTeraglng 18 points per game tllis year. They 1\re tougb and extremely underrated.

Is again evident tor the West· side basketball team. The team has lost five games and faces a. state leader In Centra 1 tonight.

Perhaps a. typical sentiment Is sympathy for a. team that comes so close but bas not found suecess.

This attitude Is common but Is neither sound nor beneficial to the team 's etrorts. We can be sure that the team desires the support ot the student body. We must be equally certain that they seek no condolence.

When Westside believes I.D the possibllity or a. decisive victory then victory is easUy attainable. The team la competent and well coached.

"1 first became interested In wrestling when Mr. Morrison was gym teacher here. That was about rour years ago. We had Intramural wre'atung then," explained senior Randy Baughman.

This year Is Randy's third on Westside's wrestling team. He also played reserve rootbaU "about two years ago." W-Club, hunting, and practicIng tor wrestling matches, "usually about 21$ to 3 hours," lay claim to most of R andy'a leisure time.

Debaters Take 2nd At Kearney Meet

A common topic of complaint and dissension here at Westside seems to be the fact that most of us like to voice our disgust with the school lun ch program.

It seems to me that when the situation is carefully surveyed, it is harder than most people imagine to find overwhelming faults in the lun ch program.

Let me first begin with the price of the lunch. As you know, the price for this meal is 35 cents. Is this outrageous considering what yo u receive for this menial s um? In each lunch, meat or fish is served on the average of four times a week. You can't get this at most good 1·estaw·ants for less than 80 ce nt s. Also you get bread or rolls, a salad, and a serving of vegetables. A m eal of this quality or quantity can be attained no place in this town for less than a dollar

Next, the food itself. The food is all good quality, the majority of which is government tested and certified accordingly. The sanitary conditions of the Westside kitchen and its food handling processes were given an "Excellent" rating by the Omaha-Douglas Co unty Health Board.

Can yo u imagine walking into the eafeteria and finding flies clustered on and around your food? Or eating you r food off of dishes with the grease and re sidue of the last meal still clinging? Even worse could you possibly see a cook with an over-soiled dress running her hands over a dirty co unter and then touching the food you are supposed to eat?

Although these conditions are from the mind of the writer, aren't you glad you don't have to face up to something like this just to have lu nch?

A word of advice from me to you. If you haven't seen or experienced anything worse than what you ' ve got--you don't even have the moral right to complain I

D. D.

Is it hard for you to get along with teachers? If it is, you should try to decide why this person and you don't get along. I emphasize person because that is what a teacher is, believe it or not I

1\lany st ud ents get along very well with a majority of the teachers, but they sometimes find one teacher that they just can't get along with, or do not like in some way.

This is not unusual, but a complaint that really is not fair or true is that teachers hate students

A teacher would not be a teacher if he or she did not really and tru ly like students and teaching.

It is not the job of the teacher to let personal feelings enter i nto his job. A teacher doesn't hate a student, that is not hi s purpose as a teacher. His purpose is to further the education of the st udent. It is not for his benefit that he stands for six hours a day talking about something which he has heard many times. The one to gain by his efforts is you, the student.

I t is very n eurotic fo r anyone to say that they got a bad grade because the teacher hates them. You get the grade which yo u deserve.

Even if you don't like a teacher, you owe him your civility and the amount of respect due to a person of this stature. Think about it Il l

S.B

What's wrong with American youth? This question is often heard among teen-agers, and especially among high school students. But, altho ugh the question is often heard, what about the answer? Most people aren't s ure what is wrong with u s, if anything. They can think of examples, but they still aren't really s ure.

This gap has bee n filled recently by an article in the Dec. 80 issue of the Saturday Eveni ng Post called "Youth: The Cool Generation." The article was based on a survey made by the Gallup Poll. Since the Gallup people are reputed to be experts in their field, perhaps we shou ld listen to what they have to say. They carne to the conclusion that the majority of youth is pampered, spoiled, and lacks ambition.

Although this survey does offer some definite conclusions, the Lance does not agree with all of them. Isn't Westside supposed to be above average? On the other hand, maybe this situation holds true at Westside. Who can say? You cant

Warriors Break Into First Meet SUccessful For New Swimming Team

Westside bas found early suecess in its newest sports venture, swimming. Norris Junior High High School pool was the scene of the meet between Westside and South, won by the Warriors 5639. Not only was th1s the first time the Warrior marine men have performed , but the first vietory eame on some spectacular performances.

The Wa1'riors took command from the onset, then exchanged leads, and finished with a rush to nail down the victory. Two events showed outstanding performances. Steve Sorenson took diving honors with a beautiful exhibition. The best performance ot the meet came as Peyton Whitely splashed to a 100 yard tree style victory in one of the state's best eloeklngs, 57.1.

Other lndlvldual winners included Gary Peterson, Dave George, and Jan Laltos. Team vietory was finished with relay triumphs in the 200 medley (Gary

Peterson,. Steve JenklltS, Steve Curlop, John Van Pelt) and the 200 free relay (Rob Moore, Dimltris Portolos, John Van Pelt, Peyton Whitely).

Luckasen Sets Individual Record

John Luckasen had a sizzling 21 points ln the 4th quarter to add to the 15 he had accumulated through the first three, to set an tndlvldual single game scoring record for Westside, with a total of 3 6 points. The previous high was 8 2 points set by Jim Anderson in Even with Luekasen's record, the Warriors were unable to put together the scoring punch needed to enable them to keep pace with the high scoring Benson Bunnies.

Central, the top contender on Inter-city and state lists, dominated over Westside 90-37 In the Norris gym, Dec. 22.

Westside's John Luckasen hit 25 ot the 37 Warrior points.

E'rom The Sidelines

By Shain Humphrey

"Westside beat North and Beatrice last weekend." This is a common phrase being used by most Westslders this week.

What would you say caused the sudden change In Westside·a basketball squad? How could a team win two straight games after losing seven in a row? Some people say North just had a. bad night and Beatrice Is a small out-state team.

Everyone that saw tl;le North game can tell you Westside looked like a new team .As the Warriors came on the fioor they knew, deep in their hearts, that they could win. They played not just to keep up with their opponent but to come out victorious. And they proved they could.

U you don't play on the team, you don't know 'vhat Jt's like to go otf tlte court seven ttmes, defeated and discouraged. It takes mo r e than a talented, fabulously skiUed squa d to wt.u You must pl ay as a team with one purpose in min d, and that purpose is to w ln It necessitates a secure feel· tng that you do have the ability to play the game weU, and can give it aU you've got.

The Warriors found what they have been looking for. They knew it the season was to be any kind of success, they must win, they must not be discouraged.

With t11e b acking of the stu· d ent body, Pep Club and faculty, tlte Warriors will co n tinue to be a s u ccess throughout the rest of the seaso n. Give th e team and coaches encouragement. They would be proud to lmo\V that e veryone is b e hind them.

What is a hlgh s chool athlete?

Perhaps this high school coul d benefit from au understanding oC the m otivations ot the ath l ete

Thro u gh such an understanding one might identity the value or school spirit and sports enthusiasm. An athletic pro gram is created ror its revenu e as well as its educational and physical bene fi ts The teams i nvolved receive mo r al s u ppo r t thr ough the solicitations of a gigantic and omnipotent social organization or !rom the spontaneous interest of sports enthus iasts. Yet these are tangent values which can be placed in thei r proper perspective o nly when one sees the position of the amateur ath l e t e.

This is the young man who competes in an athletic program. He Is seldom bigger, stronger, or raste r than his non-athletic co unterpa r t. H e is not more or less inlelllgent and be Is not mo r e e n ergetic than the boy w ho do es n 't compete. R e bas tound a tru e fo r m ot endeavor and be nds his efforts he r e for the pleasures and experiences to be gained.

Westside Council Requires Stickers

Don' t do this , don't do t hat- rules ore made to be bro ken, or so the old saying goes, but s hould they be made and t hen igno red?

Don't I Don't I Don't I

According to the administration , Wests ide stud e nts are extremely good about obeying rules. Conduct in classes and halls is e xcellenti much better than many schools, but th e re are a few exceptions

Champ! Chomp! Chomp! Looking a round school you will see many violoters of the gum chewing rule-some ore teachers Not only do people f o rget them selves and look r idiculous whi le chewing but some ore discourteous and stick their gum on t h e desks. This only causes harder work for the janitors

Puff! Puff! Puff! Although not quite as numerous as the gum chewers, the number of stud e nt s who smoke on school grounds is increasing Corrying tobacco or smoking is supposed to b e re stricted at all times on th e school grounds

Also, a ll boys ore required to wea r belts with their s lacks or jeans but as you leave school today look and see how ma n y actually ore Some boys, however, are wearing the type of slacks that are made to be worn without a belt

When som e t eachers were aske d if they enforce the gum che wing rule, th e y said , " Not if it doesn ' t become obnoxious." Is this the correct attitude if it is a s chool rule not to chew gum?

T he f irs t respons ib ility b e longs t o t h e s tu dents to obey the rules. T he faculty and adm inistration ore not h ere to "police" us, but what if the rule s are not obeyed?

Perhaps the rules in the handbook s hou ld be re -examined Some may be outdated. After rules ore established, it is up t o the faculty and administration to see that they ore enforcedif they ore n ot, they shoul d be abolished!

The sky was stlll dark as my alarm clock unnounced that it was time to get up. My drowsy braJn noted that a thin piece ot syutbetic fabric was remarkably successful at keeping out the cold, and I was sorely tempted to burrow deeper Into the warm comfort of my blanket. But this was my fourteenth birthday, the day 1 bad anticipated tor so l ong. Today had to be special so I put on my most cheerful mood and forced myself to get out of my bed.

I must have made quite a clatter u 1 uhed, for the admonishments that came from members of my family f'ftOinded me that not everyone wanted to be peppy at aix o'doclc in the morrung. I dressed quiclcly and ,.ent tO the kitchen to fix my small and unbalanced breakfast, wh•eh consisted of th" usual toast and milk. There, tO my happy surp rise, I found a miniature mountain o£ IJoxes on the table. Pcreh.-d on the highest of thcte was a dainty gold ring whieh uplured my attention. It wat an antique that my c:olltctor mother Ud found. Its one larae

Though the play went ott ve1·y well, there were a few amusing inc idents known only to lho cast.

At one time the stage crew forgot to ring the phone and the actors had to ad lib for three minutes. Then, as a picture was being hung , the cord broke.

As one person said, "It's a shame more people couldn't have seen it."

"She wa$ a symbol of everything good," was one comment made by a teacher about Westside's Miss Anne£ JrfcConn:e/1.

In a quiet and unassuming way> Lou McConnell was very devoted to Westside and her stndetJts. She t4SWllly could be found in room 218 lie/ping a student with a math problem. Unselfishly giving her time to help develop new methods of teaching math, she did a great deal to im· prO'/Je Westside's math program. As head of the department, she began the Math C/t,b and other activities to inspire students in this field.

As a trib:de to her fine work, Westside won tllis year, for the first time, the State Math Contest. She wtu very pro:uJ of the work her studenls had datte and spent much time analysing the P-rogress of each one.

Miss McConnell was recognized not locally but 11ationa/ly f()T her achievements in math. She was very active in the State Mathematics Association and was planning to attend a math convention in San Francisco this weeke11d. Having never flown on a jet, she was and looking forward to tltis new experimce.

Bom in Nebraska, Miss McConnell attended Hastings College where she was graduated magna wm Iauck Brilliant in her own right, dnri11g her five years at Westside, never lost sight of the in attempting to improve Jais understanding in mathematics.

"She had universal respect among the faet•lty," stated one of the administration. To the students she was not only a fine and dedicated teacher, b1a also a kind and 1mderstanding friend, always there when needed. Yes, we will miss her, but we are are thankft+l we had oppor· tunity of k1towing such a tiJonderful perSQ1l.

What. Jumping? You say running? And do It mighty fast?

What next will they think of to cause me so to ache?

Don't they know l ' m fragile? Woh knows, why I might brenk!

Perhaps the reason for some of these student groans is due to the AAHPER (Association of American Health, Physical Education, and Recreation), tests now being given In the junior high boy&' and girls' PE classes.

According to Mr Wayne Wagner, boys' PE teacher, the test consists of seven parts. They are pull-ups, sit-ups. standing broad jump, 60-yard dash, 660-yard runwalk, soft ball throw and the shuttle run.

Mr s. Diane Peterson, girls' PE Instructor, relates that her classes have been working on an "intensity program," ot four timed exe r cises designed to improve the scores on the AAHPER tests.

Homemakers Hear English Governess W arrior hitt-icisms-------

"1 don't espscl&.lly like American food. they mix too much together," replied 18-year old VIvian Kirton In answer to one of the many questions asked her by Mrs. Nlla Magdanz's third hour homemaking class.

Vivian Is here Crom Cambridge, England on a two year visa. She Is working a11 a domt-stlc (governess) In the district.

Senior Turri Rutle first Introduced VIvian to West.slde, so that she could meet llOople. She was asked by M1·s. Magdanz to speak to her first and third hour homemaking clasf\es, which are currently studying fnmlly living. Although It Is tlosslble for VIvian to become an American citizen after five years she feels that she would rather remain British.

Karen Sabler, senior remarked; "She Is an excellent example of English culture."

Several potential Congressmen are springing up around Westside. They have discovered how to solve problems th at the United States Congress hasn't, such as budget, socialism, and the eternal farm problem. Among these amateur Kennedys are Nick Kostos, who believes that getting rid of trolls will improve the situation, and Bob Bucholz, who thinks not beIng starry-eyed over the upperclassmen would do it. Il might. b o noted that both convinced tho voters and won.
