THE Yol. 10-No. 1
NU Night Sept. 29 The University of Nebraska will hold its third annual University Orientation Night for the Omaha area on the College of Medicine campus, 42nd and Dewey, Wedn esday evening, September 29 at 7 :30 p.m. The Orientation program is for seniors, other high school students, and their parents. Over 30 deans and faculty members from the ten colleges and six schools at the University will l ead discussion sessions for their respective areas. The ten colleges at NU are Arts and Sciences, Agric!Jllure and Home Economics, Business Administration, Engineering and Architecture, Teachers, Den tis try, Law, Pharmacy, Medicine, and Graduate. The six schools include : Fine Arts, Journalism, Home Economics, Nursing, Architecture, and Graduate School of Social Work. Two 40-minute sessions will be pre~entecl, making it possible to hear speakers from two separate areas. The sessions will be followed by a 20-minute informal discussion period. Although dealing with the University of Nebraska, the information will also be useful to parents and high school stu dents indefinite about college plans or making definite plans to attend other institutions. "One need not feel that he will n ot receive a fine education at NU," said Mr. Kenneth K. Hansen, principal. He said, in fact, that he would like to see more students go there. NU is a member of the Association of American Umversities, a highly-respected group of 41 institutions of higher education selected primarily on the basis of faculty excellence. Among others included are Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton , Stanford, Northwestern, California, and the Univer it.Y. of Chicago. The University
now includes honors program to accelerate the progress of exceptional students.
Staters Govern
Four WHS Seniors spent a week of their summer vacation last June attending Girl's and Boy's State in Lincoln. These four, '-Pennie Anderson, Jeff Meyers, Dick Tharp, and Rusty Welch were chosen to represent Westside from the upper half of last year's Junior Class on the basis of leadership, character, and service to the school. As soon a s the students arrived, they were given beanies, badges, and books. The color of the beanies showed which party ••F ·voY•e ,e ''c' 'i;"cl to. Penni <:> Nationalists and Dick and Rusty were Federalists. Each of the delegates Fan for an office. They had party conventions, and primary and general elections, which included posters and speeches before the entire group of boys or girls. Those who lost their elections were appointed to another office. At Girl's State, P ennie was appointed to Assistant Attorney General. At Boy's State, Dick served o n the school board, while Jeff was in the legislature and Rusty was City Clerk. IAfter they were elected to their positions, the · delegates went to the capitol and met with their counterparts there. The whole idea of Girl's and Boy's State: the reproduction of the state and local governments and to learn about them by participation.

Exchange Students to .W HS Getting adjusted to life in the United States hasn't been a problem for Pinar Oztarhan and Horus Magalhaes. As foreign !!XChange students through the American Field Service, Pinar and Horus will be at Westsiae for the 1965-1966 school year. Pinar, from Izmir Turkey, is living with Penny Lyman. She loves "the way the kids are proud of their school," and "their school spirit." Coming from a small private school in Izmir, Pinar was surprised by the size of the school ~~<nd the many students. There is no language barrier, fo r
Pinar has studied English for seven years and plans to major in foreign languages at the University of Istanbul. Horus comes from Brazil, and is making his n ew home with Jim Kovarik. Language is not a problem with Horus either, as he has studied English for three and a half years. After his high school graduation in Brazil, Horus wants to become an engineer.

everyone. President Johnson, in a message to the Presidential scholars in 1964 emphasized the need for everyone's best efforts: "Today the cynics and doubters believe of your genera fion that you will be too content with the average to take on the arduous; you will be too concerned with conformity to be creative, too cool to be committed, and too callous to be caring. You will prove this calculation wrong . "What you accomplish as individuals-what all of us accomplish as a nation depends on the goals and values by which we challenge ourselves . The average and the adequate are too low as goal s for Americans.
Doing slightly more, slightly better, year by year, is
too slow. Our aim must be higher; our reach must be farther; our pace must be faster . Our society and its members must aim for and rea c h toward the goals and values of excellence." NANCY EATON

Letters to the Editor Students: This column is designed to permit the expression of your feelings and ideas pertaining to Westside High School. As everyone knows, new ideas can not become effective unless shared and acted upon by the majority of the students. The publication of your ideas in t his column may be benefi cial to the entire student body. The LANCE staff would also sincerely appreciate any construct ive criticism you may have on the issues of your newpape r. To the Editor of the Lance: What has happened to the respectability and loyalty of young people today? l am shocked at the appearances of some of the students that fill the halls of WHS. Their physical perspectives are bad enough alone, but their vocabularies are revolting. This distasteful lack of integrity seems to be most prevalent among underclassmen. What happened to school admiration, courtesy, and maturity? Have the seniors set a bad example to follow? Where have the underclassmen bee n misguided? This gross show of misconduct was most apparent at our first football game. If an underclassman is allowed to sit and shout vulgar phrases and continually harass those who surround him, it makes me wonder, how capable are the hands into which we, the seniors, will place the future of Westside? A Senior Dear Editor, There has been much complaining on the part of seniors about the lack of privileges. Granted, they are few and far between; however, one privilege has been overlooked. It is an opportunity to have study hall in the library. The library is a well-lighted and extremely attractive room which is highly conductive to study. After three years of sitting at stick--y, food encrusted cafeteria tables, this priYilege should be greatly appreciated. A Grateful Senior
Dear Editor, It seems that someone gave little thought and consideration to the color scheme of the classrooms. The back and side walls are usually painted some gay and interesting color while the front wal's are g r ey. No wonder we fall asleep in classes. Colorblind Dear Editor, In the six years I have been at Westside, I have heard people complain about o"ur Assistant Principal. Mr. Ralph Farrar. Some say his only job is to discipline us and he is often branded as a tyrant, but I think W estside is a better place because of Mr. Farrar. He is sincere and honest with us. Above all he treats us fairly and as adults. So let's show our appreciation by being the kind of Westsiders he expects us to be. A Firm Farrar Fan

Six hundred new books have been added to W estside's libr ary bringi ng the total number to over 10,000. After considering the entire curriculum, books w ere selected by students, teachers, adminis· trators, and the librarians. "Quality and quantity are prime factors in select ing new books," said Mrs. Ferne Mellor, head librarian. Among the new books are 120 literature, 71 science, 68 history, 66 social studies, 57 fine arts, 46 fiction, 41 applied science and arts, 40 biographies, 16 language, 13 col· lective biographies, 11 religion, nine philosophy, six general reference, six reference shelf books, and four collections of short stories.

Eighty-six magazines have been ordered for this school year. The selection was based upon recommendations by teachers of the various departments. The current magazines are placed in covers on the shelf for all to use. The older ones may be found upon request at the desk. To aid the teachers, new filmstrips and recor.ds have been ordered. The library also has bulletin board materials for use in the classrooms, a vocational file and a vertical file with clippings, bulle tins, and pamphlets for teacher and student use. The library has a professional reading room with educational and recreational materials for the teachers.
Sophs Are Confused The following were some of the Sophomore responses to the question, "What were your first im· pressions of WHS ?" Daryl Bentson: My impressions of W estside were probably different than other people. I came to Westside from the South where schools are different than in the North. I was thoroughly pleased with this school's racial r elations, adequate facilities, nice teachers and nice clean-cut students.
Applications fo r m embership in Z-Ciub were accepted until Sept. 20. Presen t members are already planning a project to help in the library durin g study halls.

Linda leads the band, drill squad, and squires down the football field f or pre-game and h a If-time ceremoni es.

For the past three years, dressed in black and silver, and bearing an inter-city school flag, Linda has represented Westside as one of the "Tall Girls." One of the requirements to be a member is a height of at least 5'8". Of course precision and coordination are expected as they march down the football field.

THE LANCE-SEPTEMBER 24, 1965
Julie Reed Sees Sweden As A Summer Exchange Student There aren't many Latin finals which end as happily as did Julie Reed's on June 9 with the news that she was to live in Sweden as an exchange student. It all began in October, 1964, when she and 18,000 others applied to American Field Service. By March the semifinalists, 3,000 in all, were notified and the countdown began as the European families were screened and chosen. The finalists included 859 for the summer and 258 for the winter school program. June 26 Julie arrived in New York where she stayed with 500 other AFS'ers at the Hotel Shell'mrne. Early the next morning they boarded a World War II ship, 'he Seven Seas, which was their i10me for the next ten days. Rooming was dorm style with midnight curfews but sleep seldom <>arne before 3 a.m. Every day Julie and the rest bound for Sweden attended language classes and Forums, which were current events discussions and debates. Free time activities ranged from calisthenics at dawn to a Sadie :-Iawkins Dance plus daily art ~l asses, deck games, movies, par'ies, and hootenannies. Special events included a junior Olympics won by the Swedish group and a 7 ourth of July celebration that : ulie talks about this way: "It was 1-)e most meaningful Fourth of J uly I've ever had. We were a!-
J uly 4 h ad meaning lowed to fly the United States flag below the ship's flag and we had one on every table reminding us what we were representing and how great the responsibility was. At midnight, after warning all the ships within 100 nautical miles, we were allowed to shoot off a few fireworks. It really was wonderful." Julie's spare time was divided between directing the ship's chorus and editing the AFS yearbook (the first since 1960) .
Caravan Of Stars Is Pacl{_ed With Talent
It was a dark and stormy morning July 18 when this reporter imryulsively decided to visit the new Holiday Inn for breakfast. While eating, an employee, who was a fe llow Westsider, informed me t hat the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars was staying not more than 200 feet from where I was sitting. By several strokes of fate and pure luck I found myself having a coke with Peter and Gordon, P aul Petersen, Brian Hyland, Ian Whitcomb, and George McCannon III only two hours later. I had attended the Friday night show and had been disappointed at the performance but I attributed the lack of quality to the lack of reception and courtesy shown by the Omaha audience. George M c C a n n o n I II, Dick Clark's newest singing discovery and the master of ceremonies, told me that Omaha was the 16th of 50 cities to be visited during the six-week tour. Bus travel was very cramped and tiring for the group. At the same table I chatted with Brian Hyland as he read a letter from his mother. His main comment was, "I like my fans and I missed talking to them because of nolice restrictions." Brian enjoys h is profession because he's always loved music, especially guitar and ukelele, and lists his favorite recording as, "Ginny Come Lately." Ian Whitcomb, a sparky young man from London, offered sage advice for students anywhere: "Stay in school, work hard, play hard, and honor the flag." Whenever things go wrong he told me to remember his headmaster's advice, "Run, run, run. Serum, serum serum. It's jolly hard work, but chaps it's jolly good fun." My next encounter was Gord on Truaman Riviere Waller, the better half of the English pair, Peter and Gordon. He described America as "quainty" and wished he could take our weather to England to form "the perfec t country." A good friend of the Bealles a n d Everly Brothers, Gordon aflmires both groups but does not feel th<'Y are in competition. "We both h'H'<' our own styles and sounds v. l1ich appeal to different people."
Paul Petersen, regular star on the Donna Reed Show and recording artist for Colpix, began his career as a Mouseketeer at the age of seven. Since then he has studied under· a tutor, but he feels no regrets about his life. "Never living as other teenagers do, I've never known what I missed." Paul's future is fairly stable as he is to continue with Donna Reed as long as the show remains on the air and then is scheduled for his own show. This fall he will enter the California Institute of Technology to study architecture. P erhaps he'll "build" an even greater career.

After her arrival at Rotterdam on July 6, sh e took a train to Copenhagen and a boat to Malmo, Sweden, where she was m et by her "family, " Dr. and Mrs. Thorsten Saeden , sister Netta, 19, and brother Staffan, two. Once settled, Julie lived as a member of the family with no special privileges. Much of her time was spent learning to cook Swedish foods that she loved and making Ame rican dishes for them. Her main problems were converting all the measurements to the metric system and the temperature from Fahrenheit to centigrade. Outside her home she and Netta spent a lot of time in Kristianstad, Malmo and Copenhagen. Ulric Andersen, a friend of Netta's was· the ·head -of a group known as the Howlers which are the "Dave Clark Five of Sweden," who gave Julie their very first record and made her the first American in their fan club. She was impressed by the u nemotional people who always practice perfect self-control. Each teenager is a very independent individualist whose main goal is to be sophisticated. All seemed to be aware of and show appreciation for music, art, and literature. Julie's greatest thrill was passing for Swedish on a f ishing trip but primarily she wanted to be known as an American bringing a true image to foreign people. Her constant remin ders of her responsibility were the American flag hanging in her room and the American Field Service goal, "Walk together, talk together 0 ye Peoples of the Earth. Then and only Then, shall ye have peace."
Hardison Represents Am. Cancer Society Representing the American Cancer Society at the Nebraska State Fair this summer was Westside science teacher Harley Hardison and three of his students, Bob Peckham, Glen Spaulding, and Mark Johnson. In addition to hand i n g out pamphlets on all aspects of cancer, they presented a special display on cigarette smoking. Slides ·of lung cancer, a smoking machine showing the accumulation of tar and nicotine, and white rats treated with cigarette properties pointed out the possible connection between smoking and cancer.

W estsiders Active In Clubs, Sports Many Westside students hardly know what spare time is because activities and hom e w o r k- and school-seem to crowd every hour of every day. Two seniors, Nancy Wood and Dick Tharp, are excellent examples of this. Nancy is president of Pep Club and editor of the Shield. Her other activities include Esquires, International Club, French Club, and NFL. Music (singing and listening to records) and TV are Nancy's favorite pastimes when there is time to pass. She likes sports - "to watch." Nancy feels that "college helps you decide what your interests are and helps you get to know all kinds of people.'' She plans to attend Nebraska University next year and go into journalism, or maybe sociology. She has "always wanted to be a writer since seventh or eighth grade." Because of her interest in writing, Nancy went to All-State for journalism this summer. Dick, who enjoys being able to "talk freely and sometimes joke with a teacher," is an honor roll student and a member of National Honor Society. He also belongs to Interact Club and W Club, and is on the Student Council. Last year Dick was secretary of the Junior Class. Now busy with football practice, he also plays baseball and varsity basketball for Westside, and likes to bowl whenever he gets a chance. This summer, Dick attended Boys' State. "The most enjoyable
part was meeting kids from over the state and learning a how kids live in smaller tov He also worked for District 6€ ing odd jobs at Westside, played baseball for the Cornhu American Legion team. Dkk feels that college Js important. "If one wishes to tribute to his society, he sh have as good an understand in this society as he can ob This can come only from a and broad education.'' He pia , go into industrial management attend either Kansas State versity or the University of W Both Dick and Nancy are pressed with the "student-tea, relationship" and "friendly mosphere" at Westside. "I t this contributes greatly to the dent's feeling toward school his learning progress," Dick t~ Nancy likes the way "we treated as adults and the re between the students and te. ers.''

Forty '65 Graduates Pledged by NU
Fall
As the calendar turns to fall the fashion houses preview the coming styles and looks. Their creations of famous designers are copied and soon stores across the world have the once expensive creations. Teenagers are usually the first to make the styles popular. Here is a preview of what the "In" people will be wearing this fall. The London Look for the "girl on the go" is better than ever this year. Among the popular styles are the Piccadillies and the highbelted creations. Shirts and blouses have all the styles and fabrics that a girl could wish for. Calico, Paisley, ruffles, checks, plaids, and prints top all the great skirt looks. Skirts are A-line, hipster, slim, and box-pleated. The Total Look is the one that all of you will want to have. Jumpers in plaids are greater :than ever this year. Courreges inspired skimmers are great for school, football games, and sock hops. Jewelry should be small, uncluttered, and lady-like, not the cheap and gaudy costume jewelry. Rings are the things to have. Guess ho inspired them? (Ringo, of course.) Bangle bracelets and anique pins are also among the many jewelry trends for fall. Shoes are also zipped and snubtoed. Shoe colors and patterns are tE:xtured in twos with little block heels for dressy occasions. Straps, uckles, and laces are all a part of the shoe looks for fall. Puq;es are small and usually shoulder bags. The large and bulky plastic "bags" are definitely ut. Leather, suede, or fabric purses are in.

The Courreges "Little Girl Look of Paris" is one of the many popular suit looks that really scores high. · Jackets come to the waist
and top the baby dress. Suits are belted below the waist at the hip and white boots complete the Look. Courreges also inspires a coat. Coats have narrow shoulders and a body that looks like it was made for marching. The Courreges creations have the welt seaming that distinguishes them. In sportswear the sweater look is the most popular. The "Little Boy Look" is back with the less bulky sweaters. Bermudas and slacks look great when they are topped with a blazer.
1ournalists Prepare With Summer Study Summer was more than relaxing around a pool for Westside journalists studying at the University of Nebraska and Colorado State University. Nancy Wood, Sandy Ward, and Jane Thompson attended All State at NU for three weeks where they studied advertising, typography, and photography seven hours a day. Besides classroom work they also published three editions of the All State paper, daily news bulletins, and a yearbook. Other activities included addresses by such speakers as a state senator, Lincoln newspaper editors, and a submarine commander,
dances, plays and movies, and picnics. Nancy Eaton and Julie Klopp made Colorado State their home for the second annual Summer Journalism Camp h eld late in June. Besides basic studies, the girls learned much in more specific areas of technical and feature writing, television, radio, theories of communication, and electronic journalism. After classes a well planned schedule of activities included a concert by the University of California band, a talk by Harold Taylor, past president of Sarah Lawrence College, and foreign films. During their f r e e t i m e they learned to fight forest fires, visited Estes Park, and toured the Boulder Daily Camera.

Mach ines The Warrior machine of the week is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 427 cubic inch monster driven by Mike "Granny" Burdic. Mike says that his 427 engine is equipped with dual Holly four barrel carburetors. Mike shifts with a H urst 4 speed, and uses a Scheiffer 11-inch clutch and flywheel. He has a 4-11 rear end with heavy duty shocks, headers by Gran ny, a nd 9.00 x 15 slicks. Topping off the outside is a set of real astro racing mags. The creamcolored a u to wit h black racing . stripes, has a white interior. Included in the inside is a transitorized ignition and Stuart Warner tack. Dear Granny, The authors suggest that you feed your dog some meat. Honorable mention of the week is th at dark blue 1956 custom Ford Victoria belonging to Karen Dud ley. Her car was last featured in Car'toon Magagine. There will be a Warrior Car of t he W eek featured in this column in each edition of the Lance. The particular car featured is not necessarily the most popular or the fastest car at Westside, but merely the first one chosen by us. If you wish to see your car or a friend's car in print please contact Al Schomer, Pat Brice, or Paul Schlegel. A picture of your machine with a list of its goodies will be needed. Next week in Warriors' Machines; Drag News and Schedules. Pat, Al, & Paul
From The Editor Scott Hinckley Many people feel that tonight's game with Prep is the most important game of the season, and, if like past years, it will prove to be one of the most exciting games. In past years Prep has had an abundance of power and size, while Westside has had to rely more on desire than anything else. T h ree years ago Prep was the victor in a mostly defensive game by the score of 6-3. The next year's game was similar only in the victor and closeness of score, as Prep won, 27-20. The half-time score of 20-0 Prep, made it look like a run-away, bu t Westside put up a good second half ,struggle. Last ·year's is the game that most of you will remember. Westside played one of its fi nest games and upset P rep, 20-13. T he tables are turned this year as Prep has graduated most of its talen t, while Westside has much of it. T his does not mean that Prep ca n be ruled out, because Prep is always out to beat Westside. A major setback for Prep is the loss of star halfback Mike VonDollen who broke his wrist in the first game. Mike is a two year letterman and was counted on to supply most of Prep's running attack.
Walk in or Appoi~tment
As of now, Westside has no major injuries. Three-fourths of last year's backfield is returning, and a fine replacement for graduate Mike Stanner is Dave Brown, this year's I e ad in g ground-gainer. Westside has an experienced line that has both power and speed. With good weather and no serious injuries, I predict a 20-6 Westside Victory!

Beat North, Tee Jay Westside has started off what looks like a fine football season with two victories. In the first game Westside squeaked past North, 2-0. Jim Musil blocked a North High punt which went out of the end zone, giving Westside its slim two-point margin of victory. Both teams' defensives played fine games, with most of the game being played a round mid field. Both teams' passing was off, so the running game w as relied on heavily. The only real Warrior threat came in the second quarter when Westside intercepted a pass and then exchanged fumbles with North. Westside finally had the ball on the North 18. T hey drove down to the two-yard line where a good North defense stopped them. North, plagued by fumbles and two interceptions by Westside's Rod Broughton, could never keep a drive going. Westside's game against Thomas Jefferson was completely different from North. Thomas Jefferson proved to be an easier foe as Westside easily beat them 24-0. Because of wet grounds and off-and-

T .J. also fumbled five times. West• side had three of their passes in· tercepted a nd f umbled fo ur times. Westside's real t h reat of the game was its grou nd attack of fuilback Dave Brown and halfba ck Bob Urosevich. T ogether they totaled close to 200 yards r ushing. Bob had one touchdown on a 23yard run and Dave crashed through the T .J. line from the one for a touchdown. Quarterback Jim Jansen added the other two touch• downs, both runs under five yards. All of the extra points, which in· eluded three a ttempted kicks and one incomplete pass, failed. Thomas Jefferson's only threat of the game eame at the end of the third quarter when a Westside pass was intercepted and returned by T.J. to the Westside 11-yard line. The Warrior defense, led by linebackers Jim Musil and Rog Herring, held their ground and T.J. failed to score. The T .J. run• ning attack was held to 62 yards.

pe s Four Students Study Abroad Mr. Cah·in DeLano, chemistry teacher, opened his doors to the In Sen·ice Institute Sept. 18. The purpose of the Institute is to acquaint high school teachers with Chern Study, a new approach to chemistry. In Chern Study, the emphasis is on the basic concepts of chemistry, rather than on the facts. The course is more difficult to teach because the students discoyer these concepts themselves through Jaboratory experimentation, instead of merely reading them in the text.
Chern Study mail:erials were developed by the Chemical Education Materials Study, whose chairman is Glen Seaborg and whose staff includes nationally known chemists, college professors, and high school teachers. Chern Study is only one of many s uch courses, including BSCS Biology and PSSC Physics, which have been fi nanced by the National Science Foundation. Westside was one of the trial schools for the course before it was drafted in its final form. Stude nt response has bee n good.

portunity to work with outstanding le aders in the field of chemistry, and was put in contact with "th e frontiers of science."
Miss J e anne H eld, German teacher , spent two months tra\'eling through Europe with her sister. They spent most of their time in Germany. Hitcl1hiking was their principal means of transportation. They stayed mainly in youth hostels, which are inexpensive hotels for young peopl e While in Germany, Miss H eld looked up her old relatives, and spent some time with them. She said, "The German people a re wonderful, and we had a ball." Mr. Rod Hansen, English teacher spent his s ummer in Hawaii. H ~ received an NDEA scholarship to th e University of Hawaii. Whi le there, he studied language, literature, and composition, but he specialized in ling uist ics. After finish ing six weeks of classes, Mr. Hansen spent a week in Honolulu , followed by three weeks on his family's banana plantation on Kauai. Mr. Calvin DeLano, chemistry teach er, was the recipient of a Shell Oil Co. sch olarship to Stanford University. At Stanford, he studied the new developme nts in science ed ucation. H e had au op-

Junior Class Goal: 'Best Prom Ever' Westside's Junior Class goal this year is to give the seniors the best Prom in the history of the sc hool. Sock hops are planned for the coming months, class pins will be sold, and class rings will go on sale soon . The Junior Class will sponsor a carwash Sept. '25. A sock hop is planned for the night of the first basketball game. During the summer, th e Juni or Class earned $100 by holding a bake sale and ce.rwash.
Mr. H arley Hardison , science teacher, took a group of ten boys to th e Sand Hills. They ca::nped out and studied the effects of carp and s napping t u r t 1 e s on the growth of ducks and game fish. Several other teachers continued wtth their studies, and many of them taught summer school.
WHS Students ow Forecast YJeather W'6uld you like to know the weather from day to day? If so, Mr. Reed has invited everyone to come see the newly ordered weather station. So far, the three hundred dollar's worth of equipment has not yet arrived, but it is expected any day. The Earth and Space scie nce classes will be the station's main operators. However, all of Mr. Reed's students will participate. Junior Kirk Simpson measured the rain last year by making trips to th'e school's roof every morning and evening. The weather station is anxiously awa ited and Mr. Reed, especiall y, hopes it will be a success.
In Foreign Language League - "Experience is the best teacher," especially that of a trip to a for eign country. Westside students Gerry Gibbs, J ean Kenn edy, Sally Bruensbach, and C 1 a y Rogers spent the summer in Europe under the Foreign Language League program. Gerry, Jean, and Clay stayed in S eefeld, Austria, a small town of 1,200 located 15 miles from Inns bruch, and studied German under many professors from the surrounding area. · Gerry was in the more advanced program of study which included German humanities and literatu re.

By Lorna J. Love The smoke is beginning to clear and all that remains now is the glazed eye and weary stoop of h e who fought the War of the Schedule Changes. I say, "Let us be proud of those who braved the lines, skipped lunch ( ?) and stayed after school." A typical day in the guidance office during the first week of school is something less than quiet.

Not an Aide,

Ph oto by Nancy Eaton
1\lr. Tonjes .. . Administrative Intern,
(National Association of Secondary School Principals) Administrative Improvement Program, now in its third year. Since its beginning in 1963, the number of interns has grown from 14 to 75 throughout the nation. This summer he and Mr. Hansen attended a workshop at Utah State University at Logan, one of the three designed to prepare them for the internship year. The program, which is intended to better prepare school administrators, is described by Mr. Tonjes as a "two way street." He is not an aide, but .r ather an active participant in the school's administration. He works with Mr. Hansen and Mr. Farrar on problems and ideas for the high school and is also involved in many District 66 projects. During the next year he is to
study the possibilities of Channel 26 in high school and adult education, work in a curriculum committee on social studies for kindergarten through g r a d e 12, study trends in team teaching, and the effects of small and large group instruction. Prior to coming to Westside, Mr. Tonjes attended the University of Nebraska, where he did both undergraduate and graduate work. For the past four years he has taught at Hildreth High School in Hildreth, Nebraska, and East ButJer High School in Brainard, Nebraska. Concerning his first weeks at Westside, Mr. Tonjes said, "I am quite impressed, mostly with the quality of the teaching." He is aware of the discipline problems but he felt, "on the whole, the behavior and attitude of the students is very good."

How Important Is Your Image?
Y-teens
"Extra-curricular activities at Westside are considered an important part of a student's total educational experiences. It is a fact that students who participate in activities are more successful in their studies and happier in school." Thi s excerpt from the student handbook illustrates the general feeling toward activities at Westside.
::l:Jear Thesrians
Developments in the extra-curricular program have always been a source of pride for the administration as each new club gives students another chance to develop a specific interest while le·a rning to work with others. Parliamentary procedure, rules, and codes for achievement, while not perfect, are at least present. Each member logically develops pride in his club and works to maintain it.
Stt~(\ce CI<A b Chess Cfu
~ i- Y
It seems that the value of such a program is rapidly decreasing as students flock to join every activity a vailable. They blithely contribute their names to the roster and their money to the treasury, but many times this is the extent of their participation. In order to grow a club must have the complete support of an its members. Of course it's fine to have a large membership, but many times a smaller, dedicated group does most of the work. The excess membership adds nothing and can even subtract from the value of the club. Perhaps the best way to cure "joiners"' is to explain the· causes and effects of their disease. Status, guaged by the length of their 11ctivities list in the yearbook is usually the main goal. For some reason the longest list is thought to indicate the best student. Social standing or identification with the "right" group are equally important factors and many times a person joins simply "be.c ause everyone else belongs ." People who really try to give their best usually are torn between so many responsibilities that they neglect their studies. They justify their activities with the claim that each one is vitally important and directly connected to their interests. If they believe this they fool only themselves. The real victim in most cases is the club, needing workers for a float, point takers or committee members. How much is the "image" :worth when you constantly let other pe ople down? There are about 42 clubs at Westside open to anyone desirinq membership. Before you join too many try to remember Martial's words, " He who refuses nothing will soon have nothing to refuse."

Where Is Your School Loyalty? \
~
Westside has a very honorable tradition, and it has been carried on 'by most of the students in past years. As Westside has grown larger, however, many of the students ha ve not felt the same personal closeness that those of the past have felt. They no longer feel that carrying on the tradition of Westside is their responsibility because there are others to do it. Your school is what you make of it. If you want a great school, you can have one. School spirit spreads like fire . It starts small, but, once it gets going, it grows. Everybody can't participate in everything, but being a loyal spectator can be just as important to the school. One shouldn't get the idea that sports is the whole school either. Being tops all around, as in Debate or Chess Club, can also make a better school. (Westside has the trophies to prove they' re best.) The first students at Westside had the responsibility of setting an example for us. Their actions could have started the school off on the wrong foot. Let' s all ta ke the responsib il ity of following their good e xample; carry ing on the tradition is not so difficult! Scott Hinckley
Student Council
Homecoming Plans Discussed Preparations have begun for the annual Westside Homecoming parade, on Friday, October 22. Sixteen clubs ha ve signed up to enter floats in the parade. There will be two cars for each float. Approximately 20 floats and 65 cars will participate. Pep Club will have the largest representation with four cars . The parade procession will leave from the east parking lot, follow Pacific Street to 84th, turn down Cass Street to 72nd , and proceed up 72nd to Pacific, terminating at Westside. On the evening of the 21st, everyone is invited to attend the traditional bonfire activities. The Homecoming dance will be held Saturday evening, the 23rd, in the girl's gym from 8 to 12 p.m.

The girls stayed in new dorms on the campus. They had lessons in the morning from 8 to 12, and were free for the rest of the day.

The first one was composed entirely of musical instruments, and the other included every kind of talent. On the final night there was a concert which many of the parents attended. From the 80 who attended, ten girls, including the three Warriors, were picked to twirl.

Barb feels that college "gives" you experience to help you prepare to meet life and associate with others." She plans to attend Drake University. Senior Class P r e s i d e n t Jeff Meyers is pleased with "the most liberal school in Omaha," but thinks that Westside is getting entirely too large. Jeff is a member of Natio nal Honor Society, Key Club, I nternational Cl ub, Spanish Club, and NFL. He was also the president of the Junior Class last year, and has been in the Westside Student Council since seventh grade. Jeff attended Boys' State this summer, and found it "extremely interesting." He stated, "When you put a whole b u n c h of boys together with n o ou tside interestslike girls- lots of fast friendships are made. Now, when I go t h rough Nebraska, I can stop in a nd see a ll my friends." Jeff isn't picky about going to college. " I either want to go to Stanford in the West, or Princeton, Harvard, or Yale in the East." H e plans to study to be a lawyer. "With my mo u th, it's the only thing I could be !" Both Barb and J eff think t hat Westside is the "best school in Omaha," and t h at it h as done much to prepare them for college.

E_ashion Fads Different fads and slang expressions are popping up all O\'er the United States. Some of the fads are taken seriously and last for a lon g time, while others fizzle out in a short time. The current fads in Omaha are Paisley, tapestries, and going to the public library. Paisley is the great new fabric that looks like a Persian carpet. It is great for date -time dresses with a rich and elegant look. Tapestries are also rich-looking and are found in everything from pu rses to luggage. The favorite place for studying is the public library. The library was once con sidered the place where only "eggheads" went. Now it is the IN place to go. Pop Art is the current rage across the country. Girls and boys are de·c orating their rooms with tin cans, orange crates, and burlap sacks for curtains and pillow covers. Displays of Popsicle sculpture a nd frame d comic book covers add to the way-out look of this fad. Long, gin gham Granny Gowns are the r a ge on the West Coast. T he dresses come to the ankle and are worn by the girls to parties and dances.

Reserves Tie Ryan Water Polo Gets If a look at a reserve football game is any sign for a future football team, one might voice a feel ing of optimism for the Warriors. Westside's reserves tied a giveand-take football game with Bishop Ryan, Friday, October 1. The Warr iors, coached by Mr. Richard Lane and Mr. Louie Malony, scored early in the first quarter of play with a pass throw n from quarterback Dave Turnquist to end Sam B onacorso. Ryan also scored on an end run by halfback R eabo in the first quarter. Both teams made t heir conversions to make the score 7-7. Ryan's defense managed to hold the Warrior offense in t he first quarter, and also succeeded in scoring early in the second quarter w ith another run by Reabo. A fine rush, displayed by the Warrior de fensive line, led to a fumble recov-
ery by Mike Tuerk. Tuerk's recovery seemed to put the Warriors back in the game. With renewed aggressiveness Westside scored on a three -yard run by halfback Bill Grantham with 15 seconds left in the second quarter . Westside and R yan played a game of "I got the ball for a f ew yards, you get the ball for a few yards" for the remaining two quarters of the ball game. Westside and Ryan fail ed to score in the last two quarters of the football game. The final score was 13-13. Both teams played a fairly balanced game. The Warriors should be very thankful to Mike Tuerk for his recovery in the second quarter, for this seemed to inspire the team. Westside, with more inspiration and a definite improvement of ball control, may be able to come up with a victory at their next home game Oct. 14, with Creighton Prep.

Scoring two touchdowns and nning for nearly one hundred rds against a tough Prep delse have earned letterman Dave own Athlete of the Week hon•· For three straight games .ve, a senior, has fought his way . close to or over one hundred rds. He has scored three touchwns this year, and was a major :tor in the winning of the Prep me. :..ast year Dave was used moston defense, but his speed and rver moved him to the starting
fullback position this year. He is also a track letterman, and a member of Interact and W Clubs. In football the runner doesn't get too far without blocking. For outstanding blocking against Prep, honorable mention goes to tackle Mike "Granny" Burdic and guard Tony Rose. Because of them, and Dave's hard running, we have been able to win our first three games. We would like to congratulate Tony Rose who was a Star of the Week in the Omaha World-Herald.

Westside's defense, known as the goon platoon, went unscored-upon for three games. After Bellevue's 14 points, the goons don't plan on being scored upon for a long time. Westside w ill be up for the South game after their loss to Bellevue. S outh has a weak defense and should not offer much resistance to our powerful running and passing game. They do have a strong offense as they proved last year when they came within one touchdown of beating us. However, w i t h our goons looking for revenge, Westside should win 26-0.

Honorable mention this week goes to the dog of the parking lot. This is Larry Hamer's 1962 red corvette with a white convertible top. It sports a 327-cubic inch engine with an AFB four-barrel. With 300 horsepower the corvette can really move, but it takes a good driver to beat Jim and his monster, and Larry just grinds those gears too much. I suggest you take driver's education, Larry, and then maybe you'll stand a chance against the monster of the parking lot.
Warriors Over Prep; Lose to Bellevue Westside beat Prep for its third straight victory of the year before bowing to a strong Bellevue team in a close contest. Westside started out the Prep game slowly and it looked for a while like they were going to come away a loser. Prep controlled the first quarter of the game and half the second quarter, but just couldn't seem to score. Late in the second quarter Jim Jansen connected with Steve Snodgrass on a 30-yard pass play. Fullback Dave Brown ran around the left end from the nine-yard line to put Westside ahead, 6-0. Westside came out the second half and controlled the rest of the game. Both scores in the second half came in the last quarter with the last one in the final 13 seconds.
Westside's defense for the third straight game was unscored-upon. Westside met fourth-rated Bellevue a week later on Bellevue's field. The first two times Westside got the ball, their d r i v e s were stopped by fumbles. The second fumble was recovered by Bellevue on their own nine-yard line. Both teams made many mistakes and the first quarter went without score.. Halfway through the second quarter, Bellevue scored on a 35-yard pass play. Later. in the same quarter, two Westside defen-

Skits were pre ented by Shield staff members, Oct. 1, in fifth period classes.
J-ournalists Confer On Huinan Relations . How can the school newspaper promote cooperation and the right a ttitudes? Where can the best stories and news photos be found? What can the newspaper do about school cliques, controversial subjects, and prejudices within the school? These and other human relations problems were discussed Saturday. Sept. 25, at the Seventh Annual High School Editors Conference, sponsored by the Omaha Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, held at the World-Herald Building. Seniors Nancy Eaton, Linda Tway, and Leanne Hazlett, and staff members from 12 other high school newspapers pooled their ideas and problems in small, informal group discussions after attending a general m eeting. At the general meeting Dr. N e il B. Danburg, NCCJ regional director, and Louis G. Gerdes, WorldHerald City Editor , answered qu estions raised by the journalists. The World-Herald's new youth sec tion was also explained. Discussion groups were guided by Jerry Leibman, former Kan as University journalism instructor ; John McGinn, managing editor of the True Voice ; and William Ramsey of program development anfi public relation s at Creighton University.

sive men collided when going for a Bellevue pass. The Bellevue end caught it and scored. Westside came out in the second half and drove 76 yards for a touchdown. Bob Urosevich carried the ball in the last 21 yards on an end-sweep. An attempted pass to end Steve Snodgrass failed to produce an extra point. Both teams could not get a drive going again until late in the final quarter. On a fourth-and-ten, Guy Ingles caught a 12-yard pass on our 42-yard line to keep a drive going. Westside then drove to the Bellevue 35 yard line where Mark Jensen hit end Steve Snodgrass on a 35-yard scoring pass. Jim Jansen sneaked over for the extra point. The Bellevue team then ran the clock out. Even though Westside lost to Bellevue, they jumped from sixth to fifth place in the state ratings.

Does it seem that you're always being asked to give to one thing or another? Do you sometimes wonder whether or not your donations produce any good? Well, cast aside your doubts when you talk abou t donating to the United Red Cross-Red Feather drive. This drive, which supports 59 community services, brings happiness to thousands every year. It not only accounts for the care of nearly 600 homeless children and hundreds of homeless citizens who have no one else, but provides care for the physically handicapped, the mentally retarded, and the spiritually troubled. It provides assistance to our elder citizens by supporting institutions where they can find security, health, protection, and companionship. It furnishes the funds which are necessary to our younger citizens who have been left homeless, even ·the unborn who are assured hope for a normal life. Ask those who have given if it was worth it. Ask them if bringing happiness to a parentless c h i I d through the adoption agency supported by UCS was worth it. Also
EVERY GOOD GUY .. ..!'.
• GIVES THE
UNITED WAY
ask them about bringing care to a man who would have otherwise di ed without the medical breakthrough paid for by your dollars. The whole question of supporting the Red Cross Drive boils down to what you consider happiness in life to be. To thousands of volunteers across the country, happiness is helping others, the purpose of the Red Cross. Happiness then is a Red Feather. If you agree with the thousands of others who have volunteered their time and money in this worthwhile cause, then help support 59 vital services with one fair-share pledge.
NSEA Teachers Meetings Feature Sander Vanocre Nebraska is divided into six Nebraska State Education Association school districts according to geographical location and teacher population. All Westside teachers and those from the surrounding area will attend the District #1 Convention meetings at the Omaha Civic Auditorium, Oct. 28-29. The two-day program will be highlighted by a talk by CBS newsman Sander Vanocre on Thursday. Jesse Owens and Sam Levenson are speakers at other district conventions . The ann u a I NSEA Teachers Convention allows instructors to meet and compare methods, content of course work, and possible improvements. Along with the general assembly of teachers at the auditorium, there will be separate departmental meetings. A main feature of the convention will be the large exhibit of new school materials such as audiovisual aids and recently-published text books.

Tonight's Events Include Spaghetti Dinner, Soc Hop The question "Have you bought your spaghetti supper ticket yet?' has been a familiar one to Westsiders the past two weeks. The pur· pose of the dinner, to be held tonight from 5 to 7:30 p.m., is to help raise the $1,200 needed for the Westside Scholal1Ship. Tickets will be available at the door for 75 cents and are for " all you can eat," emphasizes ticket chairman Steve Ferry. It is hoped that the supper will raise the major portion of the money needed for the scholarship. After the homecoming game a soc hop with Dave Andersen's combo, The Impacts, will also support the scholarship fund. Tickets are 50 cents. Mr. Richard Winchell, one of the scholarship's sponsocs urges everyone to attend. "By coming to the supper and sock hOl}, you'll not only have a good time, but also be helping a senior to attend college."

Meaning of Homecoming Missing Job stated that "he shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore." This same quotation applies to the alumn us who does not care enough to return briefly to his old hiqh school-he will soon be forgotten. This weekend brings the 1965 homecoming ceremonie~. There has been a bonfire; a parade, football game, and _dance w~ll follow today and Saturday. These activities are all trad1tions wh1ch have been handed down to us by our predecessors. One tradition has never been upheld, however-that of the homecomi_ng. . . Has this annual event become so meaningless that 1t IS forgotten along with the other high school institutions when one finally reaches college age? . The focus now is on a football victory and the homecom1ng royalty. We are so engrossed in these two events, staged primarily for us, the students, that we forget to make the alumni feel wanted and needed. Let's make this and future homecomings ones th at will always be remembered and enjoyed by the classes of '66, '67, and '68. Jane Thompson
Inner Confusion Rules Thoughts
Sometimes I get so confused inside myself. So many things r~sh at me and through me and by me. It's hard to know v;-hat to thmk or when to act or how to stand still and just be .me.

I wonder what 1s rtght and what is wrong, and why it matters anyway. . . . . . How do these feelings of uncerta1nty f1t m w1th those happy and iull moments when I know who I am?

'To Halloween' Course Needed At Westside by Lorna
J.
Love
About this time of year, I begin to think how worthwhile it would be if Westside had a Halloween course (ranking a l o n g side of English, Chemistry, and American History). Perhaps you didn't know these is a verb "to Halloween" (well, for this article there is!). It's been a long time since kids would get together on "that night" and struggle to get the minister's buggy on top of the church. This took real talent. Kids would save their soap bars for weeks. Only a madman or an "out-of-towner" would leave his car on the street. Morning would reveal w i n d o w s that had been soaped. Of course the ones who knew nothing about it were the ones who set up a carwash and made enough to pay fo r the soap two or three times over. The Courthouse lawn was fes tively decorated for the occasionwith every outhouse in town arranged in such a way as to defy entry. The college boys rehearsed for days to be able to see which block could relocate the most outhouses in the shortest amount of time. Streetcar employees looked forward to Halloween like they looked forward to walking the last mile. If they should stop for one second to sneak in for a cup of coffee, the results were disastrous. Three or four celebrants would slink out of the darkness to disengage the t r o 11 y arm from the guide-wire. A motorman could never take his eyes from the track. He would focus on it with the rapt attention of an Indian scout. ''Obstacles" would m ysteriously appear from nowhere in the shape of 9x12 rugs carefully laid across the tracks. Down he would climb from his look-out, lug the thin g to the '; her side of the street, climb back,
and again take up his lonely vigil, only Heaven knowing what was lying ahead. No respectable Sunday School class was without its Halloween Party, and no respectable Halloween party was without its story teller. Everyone would g a t h e r around the round dining table, lights out, one flickering candle casting weird, weaving shadows against the wall. The story begins. Our story teller spins the tale of the uncaptured (still lurking around) a xe murderer (what could be more fitting-cackle, cackle). As the details of the dread deed of disassembled victims pours forth, fitting examples are passed to those sitting around the table. "Eyes !" he calls out. Peeled grapes are given to the nearest girl who proceeds to shriek and f a i n t. "Bones," he villainously whispers. A fresh ham hock is !)roduced. "Hair!" he cries, a death rattle in his voice. Cold spaghetti emerges from the folds of the table cloth. From the direction of the kitchen comes the wail of a banshee (surely it couldn't be the story teller's younger brother)! A mad scramble for the door ensues. Those who had passed out from fright were unceremoniously d r a g g e d from the premises. Kids were always good the last couple of weeks before Halloween, because being told they couldn't go out for 'the big night' was the end of thousands of plans to be the best Halloweener on the block. This gives you an idea of what it was like when Halloween was just tri ck and no treat. The trick s were seldom malicious and the fun lasted for weeks after. I still think a Halloween department should be se ~ up for those who still a ppreci ate the odginal idea of this holiday: "to halloween" (synon om ous ,v.th "' , r n.vc f•Jn," uto show or iginality,'' and "to party it up."

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, I hate to bring this up but it must be done. The seniors of Westside need and deserve better privileges. I am not a senior but I will be and ho!)e to have the privileges that !)ast WHS seniors have had. I know that the class of '66 wants them too. The excuse given to us is that the class is too large. Maybe so, but why can't t h e old privileges be tapered off instead of omitted completely? Ben Cohen
Dear Editor, May I take this opportunity to express my admiration for tfie excellent conduct displayed by the Westside students- especially the upper classmen--during the two a ll- school convocations h e I d this year. The virtue of respect illustrated at these convocations is indeed encouraging, and I trust that the precedent established at the two convocations will continue for the r est of the year. I believe that the upper classmen are setting a. fine example for the younger students, an example which ought to be followed conscentiously so that Westside may continue to enjoy the reputation it has earned as a truly ontsta.nding school, Philip T . Vreeland, Teacher of English Dear Editor, Friday, I attended a reserve football game and was di sgusted by the small turnout of spectators. These boys work Just as hard as the varsity team does and yet get little support from girls or boys. The minor sports get the same small turn out. Let's get together and support our teams! Sharon Brock It is said that hi story repeats itself and perhaps this is also true of fantasy. If so, the fate of Cinderella has been transferred to Westside. The Senior Girls, the Cinderellas, it appears will si t at home with Chemistry and Advanced what-have-you, while their younger sisters, the Sophomores and Juniors, will go to the ball. Meanwhile, the Prince Charmings forget the ball to hunt and play poker. Dear Boys, The Senior Girls do not have fairy godmothers who can transform them instantly. High school clays are supposed to be remembered for the dances and gay times, not for the dance you didn't go to. The Homecoming is not like Cinderella's ball. There are more than one Prince Charming if they'll just come out of hiding.

Dear Editor, I think that some of the Westside boys deserve recognition for their politeness! Maybe nothing has really changed, but it seems tliat more boys are willing to hold doors for girls and to show them a little consideration than in past years. Also, how many times last year did you see someone drop a book, get pushed ou t of the way as they tried to pick it ui>, and finally be able to retrieve it after everybody went by-only to find it almost in shreds? This year, I have seen several boys at least avoid step!)i ng right on a dropped book or paper, and even stop and return it to the person who dropped it. All I can say is "Long Live Chivalry!"

B y Susan K r use High on the acarlemic lists at Westside are the names of Micky Rachford and Steve Ladwig. Even though their grades are always high, don't think that these seniors always have their noses to the grindstone. Both Micky and Steve manage to find time to relax and enjoy life with their friends. This summer Micky spent a week at Halsey, Nebraska, with eight other "Troopies". For the past two years she has gone on this excursion to camp and enjoyed the a pen spaces. The Troop i e s use Mr. Hardison's trailer for camp headquarters. Mr. Hardison was the first to get Micky interested in science, and she now wants to go into t he field of biological research. "Mr. Hardison was such an inspiration, and I enjoyed his classes so much!" stated Micky. She is now working on a project for admittance into Science Club. Micky is a member of In ternational Club, French Club, Z Club, Pep Club, National Honor Society, and she is the secretary of FMA. She enjoys "any kind of spectator sports," camping, television, and reading books in h er spare time. Micky feels that "the extra curriculum activities at Westside help to round out the individual for college. They balance the personality, and h elp each person to have a fuller life." Micky would like to attend Stanford, Grinnell or DePauw College. Steve Ladwig spent his summer working in an electroencephalography laboratory at St. Joseph's Hospital. In case that big .word fools you, it's a machine to study brain waves. Steve's father is a doctor at St. Joseph 's, and Steve plans to follow in his footsteps. "I feel that the medical profession provides a great opportunity for aiding mankind," he commented. Steve also toured college campuses this summer, and was impressed with J ohns Hopkins, Princeton , and Chicago Universities. He plans to attend one of the three. "The courses offered in the senior year at Westside are unique," Steve observed. "All of the colleges I visited were impressed by the courses, and some had n ever even heard of Far East."

The statu e produced by one such cavity was the pain-contorted body of a dog, its metal collar still intact. The finding of this dog was unusual in that althou gh there was evidence throughout the city of many domestic animals, few were found in the excavations. It is believed that the animals sensed the forthcoming disaster and escaped the city. The reason this dog stayed can only be surmised. On its collar were inscriptions lauding the dog's courage in saving its young master's life three times, once fr om fire, once from drowning and once from kidnappers, and it seems that unable to save his master's life the fo u rth time, he chose to die this horrible death rather than leave his mast er's side.

fanciest, most feminine sweaters to hit the fash ion world in a long time. One is a short-sleeved sweater tha t looks like a daisy in t h e palest of pastels. Another cou ld very easily be mistaken for a seashell because of its texture. It's made of wool with elbow sleeves and a bateau neck. These sweaters look like clouds, and you'll feel like you are on "cloud nine" wearing them. The "Poor Boy Ribbed Sweater" is back in style again. These sweaters fit close to the body for the "Little Boy" look. The Courregesinspired sweater has bands drawing lines from the shoulders to the wrist and then circling the waist. The "Poor Boys" are belted low at the hips for the girl with the slender figure. All of the sweaters come in every color combination and pattern under the sun. Colors that you never thought would team well look terrific together!
Boys Co For
The Natural Look
Another example of the Courreges-inspired sweaters is the double-breasted cardigan framed with buttons. The mohair shell in two contrasting colors side-by-side is really in style. This shell has white bindin g around the sleeves and neck which travels on down the front. Argyles are hard to beat for the look that will start people talking. There's action in every diamond pattern of the argyles. The world stops for argyles! The way-out looks that are really IN are the polo sweaters. They look exactly like polo shirts edged with piping. Another great look is the crew neck angora sweater that looks like a checkerboard. You can have your own flower fashion show with the fantastic decorated sweater. Every flow e r and petal imaginable come to life on the sleeves and fronts of the sweaters. King-size glad plaids and every stitch possible are used to make each sweater the best. Choose the one that's just right for you.
Curls Are In Again For the All Girl Look Here's a soft and feminine hairdo that's sure to bring admiring glances and compliments for that special occasion when you want to look especially nice. THE CUT-The bangs should come almost to the brow. Hair should be cut in layers with the crown a little longer for the desired effect. THE SET- Comb the bangs over a strip of cotton that's held in place by clips. Wind the top rollers forward. Roll the side ones down with tape or a large curl for the cheek curls. Wind two rows of three rollers each in the back. The last two rows should be long-stemmed pin curls for a soft effect. THE COMB OUT-The trick to this hairdo is the comb-out. After brushing, separate the top section into curls and mist them with spray so they will stay in place. Comb the bangs and cheek c u r Is into place.
Boys have definite opinions about make-up, hair, and the things that attract them to a certain girl. A recent poll was taken to determine just how the boys fee l on these topics. H ere are some of the results of that poll: They love eye make-up- as long as it isn't overdone. It is better to have none at all rather rhan too much. They don't like eyelashes that are all beady with mascara. An eye-level beauty asset that most men find intriguing Is dark glasses. Make-up: Real Girls, Not Painted Ones-Too much make-up is guaranteed to drh·e the boys away. Pet hates include cosmetics put on with such a heavy hand that they go "all blotchy and funny" as the evening wears on, and girls who look as if their faces wou ld melt if they went out in the rain. Boys go for the natural look. Teased, sprayed, still hair was another pet dislike. They like hair to look and feel real, not like a new kind of plastic. Another common complaint was t haL girls fussed over their hair too much. They also liked hair that didn't look too obviously bleached or dyed. Most boys were enthusiastic about sleek, straight hair about shoulderle ngth. Almost all the boys were in favor of the pale shades of lipstick, or the bare lips played up with lip gloss. Most agreed that red lipsticl< is much too harsh.

T he Prep Bluejays squelched the Westside Warriors by a score of 26-6, Thursday Oct. 14, at the Westside Stadium. The Bluejays, coached by Mr. Robert Miller, began scoring early in the first quarter, when halfb ack Larry Sudor ran an 80-yard kick return. The conversion was completed for one point. The Warrior's offense failed to move the ball to the Westside goal, and the Bluejays began their strong offensive attack. Late in the first quarter Larry Sudor again scored on a 30-yard run, another Bluejay conversion was made, making the score 14-0. The Warriors managed to hold the Bluejays for the remaining quarter. Prep again displayed a burst of offensive power in the second quarter, by a 75-yard pass play thrown lby quarterback Bryan Linstrom. The attempt for the extra point fail ed, but reservest Sudor scored once more from the thirty yard line. The Bluejays ended the first half .of play with a score of 26-0.

For a power plant, Jeff chose a 1961 Mercury engine, equipped with 170 cubic inches and 85 wild horses. Jeff's albino Comet has unlimited torque, with pearl-white naugahyde interior. Jeff. does have one small scratch on the outside; it seems he has trouble getting into garages, whose, we won't say. Besides being a top trophy-taker at shows, this head-turning hauler is also used for daily transportation, and sometimes, dates. If you won't believe me, just ask J. P., she'll know. Pat Brice
Westside has always seemed to be up for Homecoming. The Warriors have pulled two upsets on their Homecoming in the past three years. In 1962 they had won only one game when they met South High near the end of the season . South was then second rated in state and favored to win over the Warriors by three or four touchdowns. South scored first, but Westside came on strong the second half to upset the Packers, 1312. This was the second Intercity win for Westside in three years, the other victory was also against South. North was favored by one touchdown in 1963 when it met the Warriors. The game was close in both halves, but Westside managed to tie North, 13-13. North's threat to put a winning touchdown on the scoreboard was thwarted when Jim Iverson tackled Dick Davis on the Westside six. Last year a young Westside team met a young Bellevue team and easily handed them a 39-0 victory. The Warrior's remembered Bellevue's upset of Westside the year before and also wanted a Homecoming victory. This year Westside meets a young and fairly weak Bishop Ryan team. Bishop Ryan won their first game of the season last we~k against Central. The Warrior offensive team should prove to be too much for the Knights. It has scored 158 points in six games for a 26 point average. The defense has given up only 33 points for a 5.5 point average. Westside will once again be a winner for Homecoming with a 34-6 victory.

Westside Beats South, Tears Post Fremont In two games, against South and Fremont, Westside scored 100 points and gave up only 19. The 19 points was earned by Fremont and are the most points scored in one game against the Warriors this season. Six W estsiders scored against South, with Bob Urosevich and Dave Brown getting 2 touchdowns apiece. Quarterback Jim Jansen threw two touchdown passes, one to Bob and another to Steve Snodgrass. AI Bacl). also threw a touchdown strike to Guy Ingles. Junior halfback Greg Walker scored the final touchdown on a 54 yard run. Westside scored mostly on long plays, getting only 8 first downs, 3 more than South. It appeared to be a long night for the Warriors as Fremont scored very easily the first time it got the
ball. The Warriors did make a comeback, though, and scored th~ first time it got the pall. The rest of the first half belonged to West~ side as Fremont didn't score again and the Warriors added 19 more points to the score board. Westside come out the third quarter and guickly scored two more touch~ downs" but Fremont out-scored the Warriors in the last quarter 13-6. The final score was 46-19. Dave Browri again scored two touch~ downs, with runs of 10 and 15 yards. - Bob Urosevich added one., and Steve Snodgrass caught a 60~ yard pass from Mark Jensen to score. The Jansen brothers both got on the scoreboard with Jim scoring two touchdowns and Jon scorin g his first of the season witli a 10-yard run. Denny Humph rey kicked four extra points.
'Athlete of the Week' Guy Ingle's outstanding offensive playing has earned him Athlete of the Week honors. Guy caught 60 per cent of Westside's passes in the South game, one of them for a touchdown. He returned one punt 60 yards for a touchdown, but it was called back because of a clipping penalty. Guy took out two players on one ·b lock which helped halfback Greg Walker on his touchdown run. Only a junior, Guy has some of the best moves seen in a high school player. Every time he gets his hands on the f<>Qtrball, he is a real threat. In the Fremont game he returned a punt 41 yards, and might have gone for a touchdown had he· not stepped out of bounds. He should be a good contribution
to the team next year. Guy is ori-ginally from New York, has lived in California, and finally moved to Omaha in the 8th grade. Defensive standouts in the Fremont game, Jeff Gaillard and Steve Sie.bold are honorable mention for this week. A senior and playing left end, Jeff led the team in tackles with 13. He was a thorn in Fremont's right side, stopping everything that came his way. On passing downs, Jeff threw the Fremont quarterback for quite a few losses. Steve, a junior, playing middle guard, made 11 tackles stopping everything Fremont ran up the middle. Steve put a good rush on the quarterback along with Jeff and the rest of the defensive line on pass plays.

Swift Teaches Monarch J.Vlystery Tread carefully when you enter Room 202 for you are entering the temporary domain of the Danaus plexippus. No, it's not contagious. It is a species of butterflies known to us commoners as the monarch. Mr. Ray Swift, science teacher, has led his zoology classes into a field of intrigue, the metamorphosis, an abrupt change in appearance and habits caused by natural processes, of the monarch or milkweed butterfly. Myste1-y heaps upon mystery as Mr. Swift explains that the D. plexippus will only go through its life cycle of larva, crysalis, and adult, on the milkweed. Only the monarch knows the reasons for this and he, unfortunately, is not telling. Mr. Swift, who has been interested in the habits of the monarch for alm ost three years, plans to tag the two remaining butterflies of the original troop of ten, in order to study the migrating process of these brilliant gold, yellow, and black insects. (I use that term in order to avoid repetition of the wordl. By placing tiny tags of parchment on the wings, it is possible to trace the travels of a few. One monarch tagged in Canada turned up 1,870 miles south in Mexico. They can't be ranked as speed de mons but they can cruise at about ten miles an hour in flight, and can push that to 30 when they're pressed for time. Mr. Swift's experiments have drawn the attention of science classes at Omaha University who

The play, written by Aurania Rouveral, is about "America's most beloved stage family." It consists of three interwoven stories. The first concerns Andy Hardy's love life and the scientific method he has worked out to win the girl of his choice. Another concerns Judge Hardy's determination to retire from the bench "take it easy and e n j o y life ," coupled with Mrs. Hardy's equal determination to prevent his retirement. The third is about Andy's sister, Marion, who thinks she wants a career instead of marriage. "And y Hardy" is a "good, human, thought-provoking, happy comedy," said Mrs. Anna Clark, drama teacher. -

Mock Assembly At Duchesne
l Seniors Receive
Vlerit Commendations Fifteen seniors have been notithat they have received Letrs of Commendation from the ational Merit Scholarship Corpottion as a result of their superi. achievement on the National erit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Among the top scorers on the st were these Westside students: athy Dunn, Jon Elliott, Nancy .lkins, Dave Larkin, Roger Larn, Don Marquardt, Jeff Meyers, arilyn Novak, Susan Petersen, :trry Roberts, Paula Rosen, Nan. Silverman, Stu Soren en, Kana Stauers, and Barb Veach. From over 17,600 high schools adin isteri ng the test last spring, >out 14,000 students were desig-
~d
nated as Semifinalists, and approximately 38,000 were selected as Commended students. This group constitutes less than two per cent of all secondary school seniors and less than seven per cent of the students who took the 1965 NMSQT. Since these Commended students didn't score high enough to become Semifinalists, they will not be considered for Merit Scholarships. However, to increase their scholarship opportunities, t heir names are reported to other scholarship-granting agencies and to the colleges they designated as their first and second choices when they took the NMSQT.

On Monday, Oct. 25, the Model United Nations Assembly was held at Duchesne College with 78 nations represented by girls from several regional high schools. The committee meetings began at 1 p .m., and the following topics were disc ussed: India vs. Pakistan over Kashmir, settlement in Viet Nam, Spanish demand for Gibraltar, and eligibility for membership in the United Nations. At 2:30 the committee meetings adjourned to the General Assembly. Mr. Joseph W. MacCabe, a United Nations representative from England, spoke about membership in the U.N., and defined the U.N. by its chart~r. The results of the voting went as follows: The proposal that the U.N. intervene in the dispute between Pakistan and India over Kashmir, passed by a 33-14 vote. The proposal presented by the committee on settlement in Viet Nam failed to pass by a 24-25 vote. The proposal suggested a council to be called of the countries involved, a cease fire until the conference, and enforcement of the cease fire. The Assembly passed the proposal saying that Gilbraltar should remain under England, and eventually hold a plebiscite by the people. The controversial proposal suggesting that the U.N. have open memlbership to all countries failed to pass by a 31-18 vote .

Homecoming royalty, Jim Janse n and Pennie Anderson smile after crowning ceremonies October 23.
Roya lty Named At Homecoming Officially beginning on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 20, and lasting untif midnight on Oct. 23, this year's H omecoming included the traditional bonfire, parade, game, and dan ce, and crowning of royalty, as well as extensive preparations beforehand. "Black Thursday" was observed throughout the school on Oct. 20 as Warriors mourn ed the death of "Newton" Kn ight, who -was lying in state in the hall outside the library. His funeral was held that night, following a procession leading from Westside's parking lot to the bon-
fire behind the school where the hearse was standing by . Music played by the band and chant yelled by the students set the proper mood for the occasion. After a brief eulogy given by senior J eff Meyers, the Knight was tossed into the bonfire and cremated, and cheerin g resumed. School was dismissed at 2:30 p.m. on Friday so the parade could be ready to begin at 3. Floats and cars were to line up on 89th Street, and from there they proceeded_ down Pacific to 72nd, sout h on 72nd to Grover, past 90th, and finally back to Wes tside. The Art Club fl oat won the first prize of $25, T op Choir the second of $15, and Red Cross the third prize of $10.
Uniforms Purchased Efor Band Members Eighty-five new band uniforms Tived for the Warrior Band in ne for the Homecoming activi~s Oct. 22. The helmets were the only part the uniform m1ssmg. They .ould arrive at the school any lY now. The helmet, the unique ature of the new uniforms, is a odified form of what the Roman ldier may have worn.

Mr. Darwin Snyder, band director, said that every band tries to have two outfits; one uniform used for concerts and the other uniform for marching. T h e concert uniforms are usually purchased first and then an overlay tops this uniform for a more military look. This overlay also adds color and decoration to the marching unit. The members of the band have started a fund-raising project. They have decided to sell fruit cakes for

Adding to the Homecoming weekend was a Warrior football victory over Bishop Ryan. The band, wearing their n ew uniforms, along with the other marching units performed during pre-game and halftime activities. Winning floats from the parade were displayed, and the candidates for Homecoming King and Queen were introduced. Decorated by Pep Club and W Club members to carry out the theme "Profile of Victory," the girl's gym was the scene of the· dance held on Saturday night from 8 to 12. Music was provided by the Shanghais. Homecoming King and Queen for 1965, Jim Jansen and Pennie Anderson, were announced when the dance was half over, and the next dance was dedicated to them. This was the last Homecoming for many and the first for others. The efforts of many students, as well as faculty, made it as one enthusiastic Westsider put it, "a Homecoming I'll always remember."

"Andy Hardy" Selecte i Junior Class Play
Teachers Excel In Many Roles
"Andy Hardy" a hum orou dealing with life in the 20's been chosen for the Juni or a Play to be presented N ov. 18-2
With the advent of American Education Week, the Lance staff would like to salute the teachers of Westside High School. Teachers, undoubtedly, are among the most devoted professionals in the country today, for if they were not devoted, they would have changed t o more lucrative occupations after a few years of teaching. The teacher, indeed, has many difficult roles to play. He is, first and foremost, an image which students look up to as near perfection. He is a counselor, always trying to help a student in a difficult situation aiscover what is right. The teacher is a sponsor and friend, always eager to share in the ,cfivities of the students regardless of a crowded schedule. Along with eing a friend, however, comes the job of disciplinarian, for it is his ; uty to scold the students as well as praise them. In some cases, a teacher must act as a parent to a student, im'arting morals, civics, and respect for others upon a child whose own larents have failed in this respect. A teacher is also a sociologist, able to understand the reasons for <1 oroblem instead of merely recognizing the fact that problems do ,o xist. Finally, the teacher is a human being, vulnerable, himself, to all -hings that affect the students. As a human being he is, above all, compassionate to the needs of others. THE LANCE STAFF
The Future Depends On Education Alth o ug h it may be hard to be lieve, each student at Westside something in common with 54 million other young people-the fact t hat he is a student. Nov. 7 marks the beginning of A merican Education Wee·k wherein the natio n salutes not only the students, but 125,000 schools, I 00,000 a dm inistrators, and 2,000 ,000 teac hers. Educating the youth of A merica has become one of t he nation's largest industries. For so me , school is only to be endured until they can quit for a io b or t o get ma rried . They fee l t hat the schools require too much of th e m in mind, body, and sometimes, soul. A ctua ll y schools req uire noth ing from a student. The old adage, .''You get out of something exactly what you put in it," may seem t rite b ut it is es pecia ll y true in education. At W estside, stud ents enjoy a liberal program which allows them to go as far as they choose, to research fully, the areas which intere st t hem most. The rote memory method of education has been replaced by textbooks which evoke ideas a s well as facts, visual aides for every sub ject, laboratories for " learning by doi ng," and excellent library facilities filled with new scientific and critical materials. Perhaps those who scorn education do not realize they are hurting t he mselves. In order to live in a modern world, man must be educate d. It is his duty to himself and his fellowmen. Only through und e rstanding and rational thinking can there be peace among all men . NANCY EATON

Nebraska is one of the few states to have two Colleges of Medicine, two Schools of Dentistry, two Law Schools, and two Schools of Pharmacy. These professional schools are located at the University of Nebraska and at Creighton University. Nebraska is also one of the few states having a municipal university like the University of Omaha. These three fine educational facilities make available advanced study in a variety of areas. At the Municipal University of Omaha, popularly known as "OU," are the colleges of Liberal Arts, Applied Arts, Business Administration. and Teachet Education, plus one of the finest colleges of Adult Education. Creighton University has the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Pharm-acy, Dentistry, Medicine, and Law. The U n i v e r sit y of Nebraska, which you may have heard mentioned in the football news, maintains the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Agriculture, Business Administration.

Dear Editor, Before I get into my story, I might advise you to prepare yourself with noble heart and handkerch ief. The first part of my story involves my home life. My family a nd I live in a small shack on the Papio Creek. Meals aren't too bad, if Ma and Pa are able to catch some fish, but, like so many of you, I have never tasted sweet dairy products at home. As a result of these and other factors, my growth is somewhat stunted. You have all seen me; in fact I must move around to get wet when I take a shower at school. In any event, when I go to my 12:03 lunch period, I take out my 15 cents that I have earned cleaning spittoons in the office and meekly wander to the Westside Dairy Bar. Almost daily my strong desire for dairy sweets is thwarted by the large number of big kids already in line. Considering my physical condition and mental state, this is a bitter pill to take. I then patiently wait for my turn to come but to no avail-the bell always rings. I am then faced with a day without dairy sweets. Any experienced h i g h school teacher would readily testify that a student studies better with a full stomach and when tummy rumbling is kept to a minimum. We may even consider the possibility

If you have painfully discovered that you just can't "get by" on your allowance of a quarter a week and your father is giving you the "when-I-was-your-age" routine, you need a job. Almost any kind will do as long as it doesn't pay in francs, pesos, or yen.
The Want Ads might help, but if you're not a Harvard graduate, or if you don't possess "transportation," or if you're not "25 or over preferred," or if you haven't had seven years experience in a certain field, you lose out. Most high school students don't meet those requirements and need the advice of someone else who doesn't either. At an interview speak clearly; don't interrupt.

of Westside having won the football game at Bellevue if the team's dairy needs had been met. It is my contention that the functions of students and their instructors would be finer if they were given every opportunity to use all the facilities through speedier service. If this is incorporated, I might be a Charles Atlas instead of a mouse . John McCollister Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to protest the arrangements for the Homecoming parade. I feel there was a definite lack of organization due to the fault of the Student Council. Cars were fully loaded because of the assumption that all would be permitted to ride who could be squeezed in. This assumption was proved false, however, when the police made studen ts leave crowded vehicles in such inconvenient places as the Ranch Bowl. Why didn't the council look into this matter, and inform the drivers of the number of students allotted each car? Also, there was no order that the cars were to be in, as there was in previous years. This made the situation even more tense with the cars jockeying for positions. The cars which went to 89th Street, as they were supposed to, found themselves pushed out of the way by cars departing from the parking lot.
One last issue: The parade r left much to be desired. It w have been more appropriate worthwhile to have displayed efforts on the main thoroughf~ of Omaha instead of the bG streets of obscure residential tricts.

ide Lines by Scott Hinckley
Westside has improved its record in football over the last three years, and this year should be no excep· tion. After losing their second game. of the season, 12-0 against Tech, Westside will be out for revenge against Burke, hoping to make their record 7 wins and 2 losses. After scoring 142 points in three games for a 47 point average, Westside was shutout for the first time this year, but don't plan on it against Burke. Burke is a young team, but is fairly tough. They have won a few games, and no team has beaten them badly as Westside beat South and Bishop Ryan. The goons should be able to hold the Bulldogs scoreless and the Warrior offense should be back in .form. Westside will give Burke its worst loss of the season with a 36-0 victory. Why are students skipping their lunch periods, miss i n g football practice, arriving late for class, and being sent to the office more frequently? WONDERBALL, that's why. The new craze has hit Westside as hard as skateboarding did. All hours of the day and night, W onderball is being p 1 a y e d in parking lots all over the city. When the lunch bell rings at school, Mr. McCormick' s class heads for the parking lot and plays Wonderball while going to lunch. These small black balls are s e e n bouncing around the halls, against walls, and into Mr. Farrar's hands.
'Athlete of the Week'
Halfback Bob U r o s e v i c h has rushed for over 500 yards this year, averaging over 6 yards a carry. Because of this and his fine pass catching and blocking, Bob has been chosen athlete of the week. Bop has been on the varsity for three years and has been tremendous help, playing halfback all three years on offense and halfback on defense last year. He is one of the smallest backfield men in the city but he is also one of the quickest. Bob's speed helps him on end sweeps and also on pop plays where he can get through the line quickly. Many times he picks his way through a defense. Bob's best game of the season was against Bishop Ryan where he scored two touchdowns and had many important gains. He caught a flare pass from Jin1 Jansen and showed beautiful downfield running, going 76 yards for a touchdown. A member of the junior varsity
football team for two years, Bob likes all kinds of sports "except baseball." Bob thinks that "Mr. Lane was an outstanding coach, a sort of orator in his own right!" He was also on th e reserve track team for two years. Bob "makes an attempt" at playing the guitar, and also enjoys ice skating and being a HAM in his spare time. He believes the teachers of Westside are conscious of preparing the student for college, and thinks that this is a good idea. Bob plans on attending either Nebraska or Iowa State next year. Jim Jansen deserves honorable mention this week for his fine playing in the Tech game. Jim's passes were often on target, but the ends just couldn't hang on to them. Many times he ran for first downs using the option play. Jim has completed nearly 50 per cent of his passes this year for more than 450 yards.
Warriors Stop Rya Topple To Technic In the past two games Westside displayed a varied assortment of talent. In the Homecoming game against Bishop Ryan the Warriors widened their point total to 200 points, and in the game with Tech they were plagued with fumbles, failing to score for the first time this season. In the West ide-Ryan game Friday, Oct. 22, the Warriors failed to score the first quarter, but battered the Knights defensive unit in the second and third quarters. Mark Jensen threw three touchdown passes, one to halfback Bob Henderson, and two to end Steve Snodgrass. Bob Urosevich, halfback, ran for one touchdown, and scored on a pass from Jim Jansen. Dave Brown, fullback, ran a sensational 72 yard kickoff return immediately following a safety made by halfback Rod Broughton. Credit must be given to Dennis Humphrey for kicking four extra points. The Knights following the 42 point Westside scoring spree turned on a sudden burst of offensive power, as they scored ·with one minute left to play. Frank Kolar provided the one yard plunge which gave them six points. The kick for the extra point failed, and the Knights were beaten 42-6. In the game Wednesday Oct. 27, things did not go as smoothly as

"Andy Hardy." this ye a r's Juni or lass Play, is a delightful comedy. resented for the first time last ight, it will be repeate d tonight ~d tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. 1 the Li ttle Theater.
Andy's method would probably ha ve worked, except for two smaLl factors: He ran out of money on step number seven, and he und e restimated Polly. She misund erstands his lack of money, thinking it a lack of interes t, and he loses her to a rival.
The play i set in the '20' s, but still just as applicable today. rie can see hi mself and his famY in the antics of the Hardy farny, and its comments on war and eace are probably even truer to:l.Y then they were 40 years ago.
The play revolves around th e ntics of And y Ha rdy (Rick AndermJ, a likeable and attractive outh, fresh from his last year of rep school. Andy has returned orne from school via Mexico, a :ip which was only about a thoumd miles out of his way. He nters with gifts for the family, rather outlandish painting, and "scientific'' approach. for dating
Equally important to the plot is Jud ge Hardy's (Dave Anders en ) determination to retire from the bench, much to the family's dismay and di sapproval. He disregards their pleas to keep working, so Mrs. Hardy (Linda Gilmore) counters by putting the house up for sale. This action almost backfires when someone decides to buy it. Andy's sister Marion (Kathy Newcomer) creates her own problems. She lost her fiance Wayne
T renton (Mark S0:yder) three years before, because she insisted on he r career in the State Legislature, and she almost loses him a gain for the same reaso n. Twelve other cast members add both spice and sparkle to th e show. Grandpa Hardy (Bob Gehringer ) is a humorous, quick-tempered old f ellow, who is on the verge of senility. The last member of the family is Aunt Milly (Sue Wurl) , an old maid schoolteacher who has managed to preserve her wit and warmth of heart. She is a sort of "second mother" to her sister's children. There are Andy's four friend : · Ronny Newcomb (Tom Grosman) , handsome, wealthy football hero who proves to be Andy's competition for Polly; easy-going Les Granger (Jim Coe); Mike Stone (Jim McShane ) ; and Alec Palmer (Hale Aust). There are Polly's friends: Mary Connor (Molly Rivers), Betty Lou (Laura Graham) , and Sally Wade (;Martie Mincer). The cast also includes Oscar Stubbins (Paul ~pstein) , campaign m·anager for the Judge ; Miss Madsen (Ginny Hronek ), real esta te salesman ; and Mrs Willoughby (Sue Barnicle), the over-glamorous Hollywood type who wants to •b uy the Hard y house.

Two Give "VieWs ·An audience of 200 people, the largest in the history of the Contemporary Political Affairs Forum, attended the Nov. 9 meeting to h ear a debate on America's policy in Viet Narn. Parents, teachers, and uni versity students, as well as W estsiders, listened to Mr. Carl Davidson, head of Students for Democratic Action at t he University of Nebraska and Mr. Robert Fellman, a local attorney and Democrat. Mr. Davidson began with a detailed report on the history of Viet Nam from 1885 until the prese nt. H e showed how the "Diem-American regime" had evolved from French and British imperialism until "It had destroyed all fr eedom within th e country by taking land from the peasants for the land-
lords, crushing self-democracy and establishing concentration camps filled with terror and murder." The Viet Cong or National Liberation Force was presented by Davidson as "a group of doctors, lawyers, students, and old Viet Minh • . . everyone who disagreed with Diem ." Their basic aims were lis ted as peace, fr eedom, and land reform. He felt that America was inconsistent in her promises of self-determination for any country. "If the Viet Namese were allowed to choose their own government, it would mean defeat for the United States. As a result, we must continu e to play 'God' in Southeast Asia." Mr. Davidson closed his speech with a plea that everyo ne who feels

By the time she had enough money the skunk she wanted had been sold, but she decided to go see the racoon anyway. She recalls, "I loved him from the minute I saw him ." (Cont. Page 6)

Thanksgiving's Meaning Not To Be Forgotten Each year at this time, football seasons are drawing to a close, vacations from school are nearing, and winter is fast on the way. Perhaps these and other things often shade the true meaning of Thanksgiving, a time of thankfu lness.
NOVE MBER 19,

Do we actually remember, as we are feasting on that " gala" Thursday, just what the actual meaning and purpose of this American holiday are?
o.

The history of Thanksgiving dates back to 1621 when a Massachusetts governor set as ide a day of feastinq and prayer to show t he gratitude of the colonists that they were still alive. This was truly o n expression of thanks. In the years that followed, controversies arose as to the establis hmen1 of a date fo r "th is day of thanks." In 1941, Congress ruled that the fo urth Thursday of November would be observed as Thanksgiving Day, and wo uld be a le gal ho liday. As we are e njoying our last foo t ball game, our vacations from school, and the approaching wi nter, let's keep in mind the true meaninq of Thanksgiving. As people are starving and dying in wars , let's take a moment to give thanks for the heritage our forefathers beMowed on us. JULIE KLOPP
As with all great tragedies or national emergencies, there come many different stories, all personal, but united by their source. In New England two weeks ago there was a power fail~re wh!ch produced about 30,000,000 different stories . In New York City, wh1ch has been described as, "eight million people being lonely together," there arose a new phenomena which lasted about 12 hours; people needed other people. All over the city in the eerie haze, one could see people acting Clifferent ro les . Instead of the rushing, scurrying crowd of the daily exodus to the suburbs , there we re individual people lingeri ng quietly. They didn't shove or push but stood together closely on the street. At times they even broke the barrier of silence with a comment or a muffled laugh to cover their apprehensio n. Th ey se nsed that others were experiencing the same ~isc?mfort and it was mo re bearable when it was shared. But why did 1t take a freak of natu re to bring t hese people together? The enormity of this situation makes more obvious, but not any more important, what exists at W estside at this very moment. Is th1s school " 2,000 people being lonely together?"

Growing up, especially during the years of high school, is a very frightening experience. Eve ry time we confront a new problem, it seems we are completely alo ne in our suffering. Perhaps it would help to know that others feel exactly as we do. The old adage, "In order to have a friend you must be one," certainly holds true. Don't wait for a "freak of nature" after the problem has become so immense that it can't be overcome. Whenever you feel lonely or frightened, look for so meone else; he feels that way too .

Tl1anlisgiving Holiday Lost In The Shuffle
Letters To The Editor D ear E dit or, I know t h a t this com plaint h as b een brou ght to the a ttention of ever yone befor e, but n othing seem s to b e don e a bout it. The c onfusion in t h e h alls between classes is a lmost unbearable. As W est side grows large r, t h e halls seem to get sm aller a nd more cramped. This is caused by p eople who decide that the middle of the hall is the best place to discu ss t h e la test h a ppenings. Some people are inter est ed in getting to class on time, and this is sometimes hindered by t hose who just don't think to move out of the line of traffic to h ave t h eir conversations. Nearly always late Dear Editor, Many students have been complaining about the crowded hall situation. It's worse this year than it has been previously. However, some constru ctive steps can be taken by individual stu den ts to help alleviate this problem. Groups of friends stop to talk in the middle of the halls and force others to struggle to get around them. Couples stroll down corridors with a string of people behind them . It's like a car going 30 on a twisted highway with n o passing room. If cou rtesy and consideration were the watchwords of every student in Westside's halls the traffic problem could be lessened substantially. I n a hurry
B y Lorna J. Love " . . . Hark the H erald Angels Sing Glory to t h e . . ." Wait a min u te. It seems we've skipped something. Now, let's see. Somewhere between Halloween a nd Christmas t h ere used to be a holiday with turkey, pilgrims, and thanksg iving. That's it-Thanksgiving, the forgotten holiday! The stores around town are festively displaying their annual Christmas decorations; everyone is urged to buy now on the Christmas layaway plan; there's the expected argument on whose relatives will "drop in" for a week or two. Somehow the one holiday uniquely American and richly .steeped in tradition is lost in the shuffle. the question were asked ''What is celebrated on the last Thursday in November?" the answer would undoubtedly be, "two days of blissful freedom from school." If
Thanksgiving was proclaimed a national day of thanks by George Washington in 1789. Lincoln found it necessary to revive the custom in 1863. Since 1941, according to a
joint resolution of Congress, the h oliday falls on the fourth T hursday of November. Now t h at's what co uld be called "encouragemen t." Now is t h e time for all good men to come to the aid of a tradi tion. This is a tradition that includes every religion, every race, every American. Let's check this out. T here is little enough nowadays that all of us can agree on. Christmas can ):le considered the major holiday we have here. Everyone goes all out to prepare for it. Halloween, too, gets a few weeks ad van c e d billing, but Thanksgiving just kind of comes and goes. A family will probably be having turkey salad every day for a week after the big dinner, but when the chow is gone that's it. At the first of this article, Thanksgiving was called the forgotten holiday. Maybe it's not forgotten as much as it is ignored. What this holiday needs is a good catchy song or some once-in-a -life· time bargains or better advertising or, possibly, someone who's thankfu l for something.
D ear Editor, Ever since I was a freshman a t West side, I h a ve watched the school's spirit diminish each year. Ever y season our t eam s get better, but our en t husiasm seem s t o lose ground. This just doesn 't seem sensible to m e. The P e p Club is partly t o blame, b ut the boys who come t o "watch " t h e ga m es sh ar e som e of t h e fault t oo. The way t h ey dress (hat s, etc.) and parade in front of t h e stands is nauseating. I know Westside is t he best school in Omaha, so let's put ou r f ull support behind the sch ool ! A Spirited Jwlior Dear Editor, I wish to complain about test schedules. It seems like the teachers must get together and plan to have a test in each class all on the same day. This makes it difficult for a student to get a good grade on any of the tests since he must divide his time between six tests instead of devoting his time to only one. Couldn't the teachers get together and plan when their tests will be or have a regular day when a

Exasperated and Frusterated Dear Editor, The yearbook this year should put m or e emphasis on student activity and less on sports events.

Dear Editor, I am a senior and am new at Westside. I have a study hall in the cafeteria. When I fo u nd out that I could have had it in the library, it was. too late to change. What I want to know is why can't the student lounge be converted into a senior study h all? If there aren't enough teachers, perhaps we could be put on our honor.

According to the season, he's usually found handling a football, basketball, or baseball and other types of balls that I don 't know about. When he's not throwing balls around h e can be seen jumpin g hedges, lifting things, or punching the other fella in the biceps. This type of boy is basically shy. What he need s is a gentle push in the right direction by you-who else? The next type to be considered is the ladies' man. He is suave and always has something charming to say. He is helpful.

Government Students Asked; Youth To Serve Or Protest?
Students in Mr. Koch's and Mr. Nelson 's American Government classes were asked severa 1 days ago to give their opinions on the following question: Mu ch publicity has recently been given to t he burning of draft cards in protest to America's position in Viet Nam. Do you believe that Amencan youth have the right to refuse to serve their country? Can you think of any alternatives? Many o{ the respon ses have been edited due to space limitations and for the sake of clar ity. However, in all cases the L ance has tried to · preserve their essential meanmgs. Barb Veach: American citizens re ap the benefits of a free country. It is indeed a pity that these same citizens now refuse to support it with their lives. Jerry James: I feel it is our duty to help protect the beliefs of our country. A person should not be given the rights of citizenship unless he acts like a citizen. Duane Dudley: According to t he decision of the Nuremberg trials, a citizen has the duty to refuse to help his country if he believes his country is committing a criminal action. La R.ae Koppit: I believe that one does have the right to peaceably refu se service to one's country if t he r efusal will not be detrim ental to the society a s a whole, and if the refusal is backed up either by personally honest convictions, or by inability to serve. Paul Wyant: I believe that a perso n has the right not to fight for his country, but in turn should not a sk anything from his country. By this I mean, I can't see anyone burni ng his draft card and then running down to the welfare center as fast a s he can to pick up his check. Tim Johnson: To 'burn .a draft card is nothing more than irresponsible defiance against the national g overnment. Lynn Koile: A person has the r ight to con scientious objection, but there is a m eaningful place for him in serving his country. He may aid the starving, illiterate, or injured. Randy Nogel: W e believe in freedom a nd the righ t of an opinon, but t hat is n ot an out to a
person's moral responsibility to his country. . . . Nancy Person: Any md1v1dual who burns his draft card isn't only a coward but also a parasite. He willingly 'bleeds his country of its advantages and privileges for his own comfort, but when responsibility or duty appears to disrupt his apparent Utopia, h e screams and protests. This, natu rally, is the easy way out. For now he continues to accept the advantages and privileges of a demo cratic nation, but in addition, through his protest movements, he obtains a little ex tra exc1'tement into his sm all, dull world. How much more can a pacifist or Vietnik ask? Not only t he advantages of m eeting n ew people at sit-ins, free entertainm ent, no work, welfare checks , but also exercise by means of marches or fleeing from police, so that he can proudly state that h e has been partaking in the President's Physiical Fitness Program. Bob Matejka: People have the r ight to refuse to serve their country, but I think they could use different means of showing this right. The burning of draft cards is, in my opinion, too extreme a way of showing objection to the draft. Sandy Arthur : I fe el that until the American youth can vote at age 18, he has the right to refuse to fight. Those under 21 who wish to fight , of course, should be allowed to, but my primary objection is the "draft dodgers" who are 21 and up that leave our young boys to do the fighting.
John Thom as: In order to enjoy t he fre edoms of our country, one must take part in its affairs. If a person is called into service, he should go with no regrets. Debbie Chase: In my opinion, a yo ung man should have t he right to refuse to serve his cou ntry. The major principle of our democracy is respect of the individual. When a person is forced to risk his life for som ething he doesn't b elieve in, the very essence of wha t we are fighting for is destroyed. Marilyn Holcomb: I k n ow that in a dem ocra cy like ours we have t h e r ight of free speech and the r ight to protest when we feel the governm en t is wrong. However, I feel that the recent draft card burn ings reflec t the fact t hat many
'T he Eve of Destruction' By Paula Rosen 'Twas the night aft report cards, and all thro ugh the town .Not a teenager stirring; the car keys were gone. The telephones pulled from the wall with great speed, In hopes that Joe Average, his st udies wo uld h eed. While visions of wonderballs danced in their heads They stared at the ceiling; 'twas early to bed. No pool and no poker, no playing pinball machines, And at Sandy's Escape, not a soul made the scene; Todd's was deserted, and though 'twas a perfect night, At the park on the hill, not a teen was in sight. The parents watched TV, but all the poor kid cou ld see Was the long winter nights, as he studied history. Then out on the street there arose such a clatter He sprang from his desk to see what was tti'e matter. A way to the window he flew like a flash · Tore open the shutters and threw up· the sash, When, what to his wondering eyes should be seen But a brand new Ford Mustang, just pain ted bright green. He ran toward the door, and he'd just started outside CHe was planning to go for a little joy ride.) When a familiar old voice called from within, And told him he wasn't to commit this grave sin. Till his grades were improved and he studied more often The familiar old hangout might as well be in Boston. So a word to the wise, h oping you see the light: ''Happy studying to all, and to all a good night."
Americans do not respect freedom and democracy en ough. to want to fight to help d thpreserve f 1t for themselves an o er na JOns. Karin a Stauers: Burning one's draft card is not only unpatriotic, it does not help the morale among servicemen sacrificing their lives for the free world, and it puts America in a very bad light. Phil R eynolds: I think that t he people who are convicted of burning their draft cards should be drafted instead of going to jail for five years.
Gary Shann on: I feel t hat d h ' anyone has the right to eny JS services to his country, but t h en, t h earetically, wouldn't the country have the r ight to deny its services to the individual? John Larson: They can protest until they are blue in the facethis is t h eir right-but in t he fi nal analysis t hey must abide with our policy, which is to stay in Viet Nam. Ned Whitesell: I believe that, by the nature of our democratic government and civil rights, youths have the right to refu se to serve, if they have honest, conscientious reasons. I hope no one will use t his right, because I believe it is my duty to serve and preserve liberty and freedom for myself and all free m en and women. Dave Ross: I feel that burning of draft cards is thankless rebuke of a country which has given you so much. The qu estion of U.S. policy is not a part of the question of whether to serve or n ot. Above all, draft card burning is illegal.

A person of a verage height would have to climb a ladder t o converse with 6'5" senior, Phil Blum, while someone a foot shorter would probably equal Debby Beal in stature. Debby isn't really short, but anyone compared to Phil would look so. Debby's academic and scholastic a chievements, however, aren 't so short. She is a member of National Honor Society, Z Club, Pep Club, Y-Teens, FTA, and a past member of International Club, Spanish Club and GAA. Debby was also named the outstanding Home Economics Girl as a junior. Her interest in sewing and knitting has kept alive Debby's goal of being a home economics teacher. Sports also occupy much of Debby's time. "I played golf almost every day this summer," she stated, "and I'm interested in all sports !" Deb was on a swim team for about seven years, and went to quite a few swimming meets this summer. Her spare time was filled with "watching T .V. serials; I just love 'em! " The University of Iowa at I owa City is t he college Debby has pick ed to attend. H er parents are alumni of Iowa U, and the interest seem s to r un in the family. After college, Debby would like to tour Europe. She believes, that to be a well-rounded and understandi ng person , "on e has to see the living conditions in places other than the United States." Debby feels that, "Westside tu dents are t he all-around type.

THE CUT- Blunt cut with the hair all one length except for the ban gs which should come almost to the brow. The crow n should be a little longer t han t he rest of the hair. THE SET - Use all big rollers for the smooth effect. Four big rollers go from right to left across the front. Three rollers are rolled back on the rest of the top section. Both sides should be rolled with three rollers going down. The bangs should go over a piece of cotton that's held in place by clips. T he back section should all be moving down toward t he nape of the neck.
Thanksgiving Is A Time For Thanks, Good Food E a ch season of the year is lovely in its own right. As Thanksgiving Day approaches, we are reminded of an old New England custom dating back to the first Thanksgiving when the Pilgrim mothers of the homes would place five kernels of corn beside each person's plate. The Pilgrims did this so they could be reminded of the fact that during the first winter their daily rations were reduced to five kernels of corn for each person. They did not forget that God permitted 56 of the original 102 persons to live through the first winter. These five kernels of corn should make us all thankful for God's gift of life. Here's a spicy apple punch for those chilly fall and wi n ter nigh ts to come. 2 qts. apple juice or cider 'h t. whole cloves 2 sticks of cinnamon (3"x / 14") pinch of salt 2 red apples Combine the apple juice or cider, spices, and salt. Bring these ingredients to a boil. Cover and· simm er for five minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to blend a few minutes longer. Strain out the spices. Pour the punch into cups. and garnish with matchsticks of apples.
THE COMB-OUT-The set should be brushed thoroughly to get r id of the roller shapes. The top section should be parted and pulled over the way yo u wa nt it to go. Comb the s i d e s over the hand toward t he cheek for the curl. The hair can be lightly teased for body and then misted with hair spray.

Side Lines by Scott Hinckley The football season ended with a good note, but basketball season is less than a month away. Westside had an interesting season last year, and this year's season should be just as interesting.

Let's have a big turnout this year and try to have a thousand kids go. ream members carry Coach H oyt off the field following the final e with Burke.
VarriorsHaltBurke; :omplete Great Year The final score was W estside 47, Burke 0. The Warriors showed a much better display of ball control throu ghout this game. Fumbles have pla.g ued Westside for the entire season. The Warrior victory was not only instrumental in topping off a fine season, but it proved to be an excellent chance for coach Bill H oyt to t est much of n ext year's squad. This final football game for the 1965-66 season completed the 1b est year the Warriors have ever had. Westside completed their season with seven victories and two losses. In the first game the Warriors spoiled the North High Vikings' five-year winning streak over Westside. The next two victories over Prep and Thomas Jefferson were not too important as far as state standings. The game with Bellevue proved to be fatal for Westside. The Warriors fell 14 points behind in the first half, but raUied to score 13 points in the remaining half. The 13-point score was in vain, and the Warriors lost one of the important games of the season. The next three contests brought the Warriors victories over South, Fremont, and Bishop Ryan. The Tech High Trojans held Westside scoreless. This was the only game, however, in which the Warriors could not score. The success of the Warriors this year may be measured 1b y the total p oints scored by and against the team. Westside scored 245 points in nine g a m e s, and held their opponents to a mere 51 points.

With winter upon us again, the boys go swimming a nd the girls try and go skiing. The swimming team is strong and looking fo r a state title; and the skiers, well, we'll just pray they all last the winter. Word is that the English Dept. is thinking of taking out the windows that look into the hall. It appears that the teachers are distul'bed by a few of the tall basketball players that peer in these windows as they r eturn from lunch. Another solution would be to have Bob Urosevich slouch when he goes by these windows and not to let Phil Blum get on the shoulders of friends so t hat he can see in the windows.

Seniors Beat Juniot路s In Powder Puff Game Westside senior girls unleashed a devastating passing attack to crush the junior girls, 13-7, in the Powder Puff football game. The junior girls received the kick-off and quickly got a first down on a reverse. Their attack then stalled against the huge defensive line of the seniors, led by Annette Ross. On the fi rst play that the seniors got t he ball, quarterback Carol "Unitas" Stromberg faked a dive into the line, faded back, and hit Tamra H all for a n 81-yard pass play. T he seniors failed to make the extra point. T he juniors were again stopped the next t ime they had t he ball, and the seniors were threatening deep in junior ter ritory wh en the
half ended. The juniors kicked off the second half, and senior halfback Sharon F orehead ran it back to the junior five-yard line. After a few penalties the seniors again scor ed. The extra point was made, giving the seniors a 13-0 lead. The juniors t ook the kick -off, and on the second play they pulled a daring r everse that went for a touchdown. The extra point was made, and the seniors won t he game as they ran out the clock. Carol Stromberg completed three out of five passes while the juniors completed none. Outstanding h alfbacks for the seniors were Ly nn Koile and Linda Thompson. The juniors were led by quarterba ck Karen D udley.
Zoom! What was that? That was the eightball, driven by senior Dave "Boom Boom" Brown. This 1954 Buick Special sports 269 cubic iriches and 183 horses. Dave doesn't get much mileage, because his Carter two-barrel just eats up the gas. The eightball is stripped for speed, having no heater and no radio. This supersonic speed does have some disadvantages though, because Dave is always getting h is windows broken. H e has about three t o r epla ce n ow. "Boom Boom " has baldies, w hich, t o people who don't un derstand cars, are h om emade slicks. With this combination and a three-speed on the column Dave is har d to beat. W e are trying to get Musil's Monster to dr ag t he eight ball, for t his would be consider ed the drag of t h e year. T he exterior is black and white, and th e interior is black and gray, giving the car colorful contrasts.
Carol Stromberg (84) does warm-up exercises with fellow tea m members before the game.
'Athlete of the Week' Because of her fabulous passin g, running, and faking, Carol "Unitas" Stromberg has earned Athlete of the Week honors. She connected on three out of five passes in the Powder Puff football game, one of them an 81-yard scoring strike to Tamra "Tammy" Hall, end. Carol transferred to Westside from Iowa during her junior year . She came in time to play basketball for the juniors, and played ex-
ception ally well. The seniors will be looking forward to the basket ball game, when they will again prove to the juniors who is better. We would like to acknowledge and congratulate the following boys: Jim Jansen a nd Roger H erring, honorary captains for t he fo otball team; Dave Brown, outstanding back; Steve Snodgrass, outstanding lineman; Bob Urosevich and Mike Burdic; Kiwanis award winners.

Journalist Journey In Hearse A Go Go By Susan Petersen Stares and double-takes, amusement, derisive . glances, and friendly waves characterized the reactions of those seeing The H earse, Friday, Nov. 12. It name obviously denotes a history of carrying the dead, but despite deathlike moans over uncomfortable seats, its passengers to the Jol.lrnalism Convention in Lincoln were very much alive. The day started as 18 Lance and Sh ield staffers, one junior journalist, and Miss Carol Page, advisor, faced their first crisis. Who would get to ride in The Hearse and who in a more conventional car? Finally the group divided, 13 to The Hearse and 6 to the car. Picture an elongated station wagon with a conventional front seat and a back section consisting of a hard, hard surface covered by a veneer of carpeting and you'll understand the discomfort that was felt. But then its former riders never complained! During the 70-minute trip the girls waved to passer-bys and exchanged gossip. The Hearse even made a valiant try at dragging with an army truck. However, since speeds exceeding 50 mph caused the rear of The Hearse to move like a fish's tail, it was no contest. Just trying to change lanes was
a major event. Lack of, or problems with rear view mirrors created a pilot to co-pilot situation. Some one up front would ask if it was safe to change lanes. One of the following responses was usually forthcoming. "Yeah if ya hurry." "My gosh no!" "What's wrong with the one we're in now?" In Lincoln, after seven tries at
parking, the motor died and the gears locked. A passing student promptly directed the girls in pushing The Hearse into position. Several of the girls as they rushed from lectures to discussions, to banquets, to tours, wondered how they would get home. They needn't have. Miss Page, upon seeing a University student examining the
Colon Answers College Doubts Dr. Vince Colon, Director of Admissions at Nebraska Wesleyan University, discussed college admissions at the Booster Club meeting last evening. While parents of juniors and seniors attended this meeting, sophomore parents and those not interested in the college program attended a discussion of Westside's Guidance Department. Dr. Colon answered many questions concerning college entrance, scholarship programs, college testing programs, increased college costs, ibooming enrollments, and provided some new insights into the complex admissions picture. He presented some general admissions policies including who they look for, what kind of student they look for, rules for application and admission, and what parents should do. iMessrs. Jack Peterson and Rex Steinke, counselors, discussed the guidance program and current trends in the field. Their presentation included ability grouping and honors courses, procedures used for grade point ranking, national testing programs and their significance, planning the high school program, and future planning for th!' college and non-college bound student.
car, remarked, "If you're going t<t stare at my hearse, you can h elp fix it." He did too. Weary students found no peace on the ride home either. At first it seemed that all nineteen would have to go in The Hearse. Cramped quarters made for cramped personalities, but Sharon Forehead ralli ed the group with instructions on how to look like fish to passing cars. Later, as the group was again · divided, those in The Hearse went back to their childhood to sing campfire songs. The continuous trouble they had with the rear door coming open providing a startling facial study of the man in the car following, reminded some of an earlier statement about having an accident. One girl said, "Well, this is the perfect car to have one in."

iMr. Hardison, science teacher, organized a small group of boys to travel with him to Fairfield, Nebr., where they planned to check out the condition and future possi· bilities of the greenhouse. These boys pledged their allegiance to the securing of this greenhouse: Rick Anwyl, Charles Billesbach, Craig Dudley, Ray Gillies, Rick Gillinsky, Mark Johnson, Dave Morgan, Rick Palmer, Steve Renier, and Frank Stohner.
The cement, wood and greenhouse is already a lb contention-to heat or not t At least, much to the plants' the place will be air-condi The only specific greenho live room in any Omaha school will be u s e d for s projects from the biologj !botany classes.

After the deal had been signed and sealed, all that remained was to deliver the thing. Everyone took on the personality of an en.gineer. The main objective was to disassemble the problem and transport it the 150 miles ·b ack to Omaha. This solution sounds fairly elemen·tary; it was the accomplishment of it that tripped the boys up.

iMr. Hardison and his group made four trips to Fairfield: one to look the building over and three more to bring it to Westside. Mr. Hard· ison, sounding tired even thinking abou t it, says, "It took eight and one-half hours to cover the 150 miles. If we went any faster than 20-25 miles an hour, the back of the trailer hitched to the travel-all would sway all ·o ver the road." They couldn't use the interstate, for they would have •b een honked off the road.

Westside;sAids Do Clerical Job A new innovation in teaching is being tried otit in District 66 this year. "Teacher Aids" in Westside and three elementary schools are helping by performing those tasks which are more clerical than professional in nature. Because teachers are not basically trained in business, the aids are intended to give them more time for research, individual help, and parent conferences by relieving them of such duties as typing and making overlays and stencils. "If th e program prov1'd es a service for the teachers, it can provide a service for the students," stated

a ctive competition. On Dec. 4, the Creighton Prep Speech Tournament will be held in which members will compete in extemporaneous speaking, dramatic interpretation, original oration, and poetry reading.
The first place winners were the teams with the best win-loss rec-ords after three rounds of debate Friday and one round Saturday morning, and the team who won the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final round.
The month of December, however, will offer even rougher, more ex[lerienced nation-wide competition in one of the most important tournaments of the year, the William Chrissman Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
Westside's two-team effort, which was comprised of senior Stu Sorensen and juniors Mike Armstrong, Dean Holland, · and Wally Dean, reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated from competition. These same two teams will travel to Lincoln Northeast today to compete in the two-day tournament. Many of the other members of the debate squad will also be in
This tournament, which yielded a first place trophy in regular di·vision debate for the first time to a Westside team last year, has been called by Debate Coach Rod Hansen "one of the ten toughest tournaments in the United States." Despite the strong opposition, Mr. Hansen predicts that Westside will once again come home victorious.
"Basking in the intellectual and cultural warmth of Miami Beach" for a week beginning Sunday, Nov. 21, was Mr. Richard Winchell, Westside history instructor. He represented District 66 at the National Council of the Social Studies, held in conjunction with the American History Society, "to learn about new trends iii social studies and to listen to academi. cians. in the various disciplines of the social studies." Visits School Systems Mr. Winchell spent his first three days visiting school systems in the Miami area such as the Nova and Dada School Systems. The Nova School System, located in the North Miami region, is recognized as being one of the most mechanized, in terms of teaching techniques, in the United States. One of its innovations is the ability to broadcast TV programs from one part of the school to any other part. Mr. Winchell found that the Nova Syst em uses hydroponic methods, such as the growing of food in water. He visited the Dada School System to find out about its methods of team teaching, seminar presen· tation, large-group instruction, re• search techniques, and advanced placement programs. He was also interested in their use of the block of time (more than one hour spent with each instructor) and flexible scheduling (not meeting in each class everyday). Gains Ideas During the last three days, Mr. Winchell attended lectures to gain ideas for American History and Far East, the subjects he teaches, as well as sessions concerning economics, soc i o 1 o g y, government, world history, and other aspects of the social studies. Of particular interest to him was learning new ideas for the struc· turing of Advanced American History and Far East classes. "I am not interested in change for the sake of change," commented Mr. Winchell. "I will come back with new ideas, and see if they are valid."
WHS Clubs Give Gifts For Vietnamese Christmas There will be a Christmas for some children in South Viet Nam this year because of the generosity shown by Pep Club and W Club. Wednesday, many of the junior and senior members of these organizations met in the evening to package the clothing, food, and toys they had donated. Their efforts were in answer to a request ·made by a 1959 Westside graduate, Gale "Mac" Olmstead. Now a soldier in Viet Nam, he asked Westsiders to send the gifts of clothing, food, and toys so that he might distribute them to the children in his area at Christmas time. Nancy Wood, Pep Club president, noted, "The Pep Club girls gave their time and donations without expecting service points for their actions. It was an entirely voluntary contribution, their reward being the satisfaction that they were bringing a happier Christma:; to someone ."

Like Wine, Age Betters Cagers " Westside should be dropped from the Intercity League be cause it is obviously unqualified to compete with these te·ams." A st atement to this effect appeared in the Public Pulse in 1960 a fter Westside joined the Intercity League. It would be interesti ng t o note this same person' s reaction to the Warrior team now, after five years devoted to the development of one of the major teams iA t he state. Westside bega n its first yea r in the League under the direction of Mr. Jerry Koch . The team finished the year with a "2-14 record, beating North a nd Benson. Mr. Koch, who gave Westside a total of 70 wins, ended his varsity coaching career with this season. The 1960-61 team, coached by Mr. Jim Tangdall, lost 16 games, upsetting only Beatrice. A sophomore team, added that year, gave t he underclassmen a chance to prepare for the reserve and varsity t eams. John Luckason was chosen Outstanding Basketball Player of t he year, and received the Kiwanis Award. According to Mr. Tangdall, the 1961-62 cagers were better th an the previous years, especially in ability and height. Westside beat North for its first Intercity victory of the year, and finished with a 2-15 record. The season was summed up by Dave Allan as " a season of efforts, little success and much disappointment." The 1962-63 season opened against Hastings with a bright, new prospect in 6 '4" John Buller. This was Westside's most successful Intercity season thus far, winning 13 and losing 8. Bill Olson won a spot on the World-Herald 's All-Intercity Team and Jack Payne's Metro.politan Area Tearn. The reserves won t he Intercity title in 1964. The Varsity tea m placed second in the Intercity , loosing to Prep and South. It was ran ked fifth in the state. The overall record was 14-7. Last season, Westside completed the most successful season of its career in the Intercity League. Eighteen wins and five losses were scored, placing Westside third in the state and, again, second in the c ity. The high point of the season was winning the district champions hip and reaching the semi-finals in the state tournament. According to these records, Westside has no place to go but up.

Today'sYouth Must Communicate In the age of atomic bombs and space travel, communications and understanding between countries shouJd be at a peak. Yet, even with so many conveniences, we have become apathetic to the needs of other:s. More than 50 new nations have emerged from colonialism since ·World War 11. These young countries. hold nearly half of the total votes iR the United Nations, and together, they represent at least Qne t hird of the world's, popu.lation. The Reople of these countries have shown that they are no .longer willing to be dominated by the Western colonial powers, and fi nally have ~d· the courage to seek independence. Perhaps they had l the example of the United States i n n:'in'd .when they ~ought their independenc.e. Yet, the people of the Un1ted .States know very little about these nations. It is the duty of concerned youth to study these countries. If t he youth of America understand the backgrounds of the Africans and Asians, and the social, political , and economic upheaval that they are encountering in their struggle, perhaps there wilt not be so much turmoil in the world tomorrow. Remember, " The world is one and you a re in it." JANE TH O MPSON
World Watches Us The eyes of the world are turned on the Teens. We can tip the world if we all run to one side. Since we a re the majority group we have a tremendous responsibility.
Advertisers are aware of us a s potential buyers. We are constantly confronted with pressure for success. T eens want to talk and act 'cool', f ollow the fads, eat the t een food, in their 'hangout'. This we find is an expression of our age. We are trying to find our way through the t radition-bound adult world. Some individuals are not able to meet the pressures, and reobel. Then society finds this section of the teen group unacceptable and turns the spotlight of publicity on them. Magazines and newspaper articles are written about the delinquency of this generation. However, the appearance of all the houses on a block cannot be
judged by one house. Neither can the apples on a tree be labeled bad if you sample one, and find it tG lbe sour. The World-Hera.ld has turned a peachy hue in an effort to reach the young adults in their circulation area. This is a considerable area, geographically. And it will cut through a representative section educationally and socially ••• cities, small towns and farms. We shall learn by reading this section what the teens have in common. Not only should our public image improve, but we can be better informed. After reading the peach-colored section, we'll be finding our readin.g reaching into other .sections of the paper. There is, .we've learned, no ·b etter text book than . the newspaper.

Dear Editor, I was very m oved aft er Mr, Koch's spirit speech. I only wish some of the other people had been moved. But,_ unfortunately, there are those who couldn't care less about school spirit and their Pep Club. Some girls are in the club merely to get their names in the back pages of the yearbook, while other ,g irls take the attitude that the other girls will yell, so why should they. Most of them must take this attitude, because there are quite a few "lulls" at the games.
Why does this happen! Is it too old-fashioned to yell and show the boys that we are for them one hundred per cent and that we are proud of Westside High School, the best school in Nebraska! If the girls can scream to their friends three rows in back of them, why not put that energy into a yell for our players? That goes for the boys, too, If the boys would help the organized screamers in red, t hen think how we would sound to t he opposin.g schooL
Be proud of your school and put a little "guts and heart" into your yells. Maybe this is asking too much of the student body. Maybe we should try and find out. A Little Deaf Dear Editor, It has been noticed by many that ·t he standards of several honorary clubs and organizations of Westside have been lowered considerwbly. It seems that there should be a few to which membership is obtained by good scholastic, not social standing. Do we seniors want the Class of '66 to ·b e remembered for this? Observing Senior
Dear Editor, Perhaps you can help me. I was wondering if President Johnson has passed a -bill outla,wing m;mners for city high school boys! Since when has it ibecome a faree for a boy to open a door for a girl, or carry her books down the hall. or watch his lang~ge in front of her. Will it hurt a muscle-bound water polo player to pick up a f~ books for a girl which she has dropped! . Boys, maybe you don't know it, but we WGuld respect you instead of laugh at you .if you proved yourselves to be the gentlemen your country cousins are. Why don't you at least try it for a week or so. Country Girl Editor's note: There has been no bill passed so far.

Love If you think having seventeen hours of home work, getting stuck in the back of a lecture hall, or ibe· ing room-mate to a .. borrower" is all you have to look forward to in college, look again and read the book that tells all, Richard Armour's Goin~ Around. In Aeademie Circles or A Low View of Jfi&'her Education, dedicated to Socratesthe first professor to drink himself to death.
A main feature of college is the campus. If college is in session, students may be seen on the walks. hurrying to class. If they are not hurrying, it means that they are already so late it makes no difference. When two boys are walking together, one is likely to be reading something. What he is reading is notes that will help him pass the examination he is going to take in three minutes. The reason he is walking with the other boy is that these are the other boy's notes. When two girls are walking to·g ether, n either one is likely to be reading anything. This is because they are "prepared." One campus in the East had a piece of ground marked 'by a sign t hat read, "It is a tradition at this
college that no one walks on strip of .g rass. This tradition into effect next Tuesday."
An integral part of college i~ faculty. There is the "educatio. fun teacher." Overheard one in the hall, "What ever happ• to my old prof, GiUbey?" "Oh, still doing his old monologue Pompey in 203a."
There is the young insti'\1 erammed tight with knowledge yearning to tell somebody s< thing, anything.
Then there is also, and thJ fully, the one that teaches. Tli the teacher that not only m an appointment to help a st glin,g student privately, but ren ibers to show up. The dedic teacher is not alwayg liked or predated, ibut there is not a r important person in a student': ture.

Should Voting Age Stay 21? Some states have a voting age of 21, while others draw the line a t ages as low as 18. Some people
wonder why youths in some states are supposed to be mature enough to vote at age 18, while others must wait till 21. Since Nebraska is a state where _the voting age continues to be 21, the Lan ce has asked the following questions: In your opinion, should the voting age be lowered? If so, how m uch do you feel it should be lowered? Should it be the same in all states? The following were the responses the Lance got from senior students. Spotlight on., , ,. , , Don a nd B arb

H arold Bur ton: I think the votin g age should be lowered. I think it should be the same (18 ) in all states. And rea Cole! Vot ing age should be determin ed by the responsibility of the group involved. I n view of late developm ents, demonstrations and riots, the young people have shown that they are immatu re and uninformed as to the n ature and purpose of our governmen t.

Barb Wille: Twenty-one should be the age to vote in all states. If people have to wait for this privilege, they will be more apt to treat it with its due respect.
Martha McGuir e : I believe the voting age should be the same in all states. I feel that the voting age路 should be 21. It is necessary for young adults to have more experience in living in our country before they can vote on possible changes in the government.
J ulie Klopp: I think the choice of the voting age should remain with the states. I don't think Nebraska's voting age should be lowered. I feel 18 is too young. If people say that they're old enough to fight, bu t not old enough to vote, then let those citizens in the armed forces vote.
Connie Morey: I feel that there is no real magical age as far as voting is concerned. Some are mature enough to vote at 18, while others may never be mature enough to take on this responsibility. Therefore, I feel that all states should assume the age of 21 as the legal voting age.
Phil Blum: I think the voting age should be the same, 21, in all states. T eenagers in one part of the country are no differen t than those in other pa r ts of the country.
J a n Bachrach: I think the voting age should remain 21. It is during the formative years, 18-21, tha t a g rea t many changes t ake place.

THE lANCE
Interact Sponsors Thanksgiving Hop Archaeology Club has made tentative plans for a visit to vario us museums in Lincoln during the winter. Band members will soon be selling fruit cakes in order to complement their activity fund. This fund will be used to buy uniforms and pay for trips made by its members. Westside was represented in the Omaha High School Individual Chess Tournament held at the Central YMCA, Friday, Nov. 26, by members of its own Chess Club. Results are as yet unknown. Selected members of Hi-Y attended the State Hi-Y Legislature last Friday and Saturday. December will see the annual drive by International Club to !'aise money for the Foreign Exchange Student Program. The candy sale is a major source of money for the exchange program. An Interact Club-sponsored Thanksgiving Hop was held at Westside Friday, Nov. 26, at 8 p.m. The Intruders played at this benefit for the United Cerebral Palsy of Omaha. Re<l Cross Writes to Miller Vice-President Jim Woodland reports that Red Cross at WHS has written to Omaha School Superintendent Dr. Paul Miller for permission to help instructors at the Lothrop Grade School with -their third graders.
A meeting of Radio Club, Thursday after school in room 208, centered on the proposed sale of the club's hand equipment and the change over to hi-fi equipment. Mr. T. E. Shoeman, Manager of Preferred Risk Mutual , was the guest speaker at the last Safe-Teens meeting, on Wednesday, Nov. 17. Mr. Shoeman spoke on the legal aspects of insurance, and accidents themselves.

Rotary Club Hosts NATO Journalists Five Westsiders had the opportunity of visiting with Mr. Bjorn Thors at the home of Mr. Walter Slack, Sunday, Nov. 21. Mr. Thors is the foreign news editor of Iceland's largest newspaper. Mr. Thors, with a group of journalists representing the NATO coun tries, was hosted by members of the Omaha Rotary Club. He is a graduate of Menntaskolinn, a junior college in Reykjavik, and has studied economics at the University of Iceland, and architecture at Harvard and the University of California. Mr. Thors, however, was not satisfied with architecture so he turned to journalism. As foreign news editor for the Morjunbladid (Morning Newspaper) he covers everything outside of Iceland with the help of the wire services and foreign correspondents. The news staff, which is completely independent of the editors, often takes a political stand. Mr. Thors stated that the staff is sym pathetic to the South Viet-Namese ca use. About 33,000 copies of the paper are printed daily and delivered by airplane to the outlying parts of Iceland. Education in Iceland is socialized; however, Mr. Thors feels that the educational system must change withi n the next few years to keep in step with the rest of the world. Languages are emphasized in I celand . Danish is compulsory in the lower grades, while G e r m a n,
French, and Latin are taugh t in the high schools and college. Little sci· ence is taught until the collegE level.

For ski outfits are the parkas with a touch of velvet. The plushness of the material will make you feel like a queen. Bright, warm prints will give the parkas that lively touch. For relaxing are the skimps, which are simple smocks or shifts that are short and sweet, or whimsical, to fit your mood and hair style. For the elegant dinner party or dance is velvet. This fabric, which adds a touch of richness, is the password to everything. Cranberry or deep green long, flowing gowns, that are devastatingly simple, give the most elegant impression.
Here's a holiday party idea that requires little space and a simple and easy-to-fix menu. The party is a holiday disco party. Invite twenty to thirty people, and stack your fa\路orite LP's on the stereo. Dances should be only the latest: frug, watusi, ska, and jerk. The decorations are very simple: ca ndles placed around the room a nd tiny Christmas trees that double as plants. Glitter lights follow the outline of the room. The menu couldn't be simpler: hot dogs, baked beans, and potato chips. Your guests will love you for thinking of something that does not require sitting down and eating formally. The beverage should be light and refreshing. For dessert you can serve donuts and plenty of piping hot chocolate. Place popcorn and hard candy in giant-sized goldfish bowls around the room. Turn on the record player and let your guests go. The mood and sce ne have already been set by you, so let your guests see what they can do.

The Governor went on to say, " No generation ever makes it safe for another. Each generation mus t secure and achieve i'or itself." Randy, Phil, Dave Brown, Art Annin, and the rest of the Westside delegates sat attentively through all of the proceeding, but it was evident by their facial expressions that their minds were working on passage of the bills, first through Committee and then on the floor . On this score, Westside came on with resounding success, by passing their major bill (Number 19) and a general agreement for the need of increased water fluoridation . W estside's delegation carried with it a more unified voting bloc than an y other at th e leg isla t ure.

THE LANCE
Side Lines by Scott Hinckley I would like to congratulate the football team for a fine, victorious season. They were the finest team in the state, and I feel the best ,g ame of the season would have been Westside against the all-state team.
Congratulations are in store for center Roger Herring who made the Omaha World Herald all-state team, tackle Mike B u r d i c who , made the United Press all-stateteam, and Jim Jansen and Steve Snodgrass who received honorable mention from various newspapers.

The naming of the champion bowling team will mark the end ot the bowling season. GAA will play volleyball next. Teams will be chosen and a tournament will follow.
Twenty-seven seniors were on the team and will be missed next year. Juniors Guy Ingles, Jon Jansen, Greg Walker, Art Denny, Steve Seibold, Ron Volberding, and Bob Brown are expected to be the core of next year's team. All boys seen walking around the halls looking pale and wearing clothes that look too big for them are on the wrestling team. They have been losing weight since the end of the football season, some as many as 25 pounds. Some of the girls who want to diet should ask these boys. how they do it. To find out if it is worth it, just ask Ralph Chaney. Westside cagers are heading for Columbus tomorrow. I hope that aU have bought tickets, and are willing to prove that we can have as many students there as Columbus will. It is going to be fun, and nothing helps the team's morale more than to see a big turnout of their fans at an away game. Show your school spirit; go to Columbus.

Westside B-Bailers Begin At Hastings Westside cagers lost three of last year's first five players, including their two high scorers, one of them All-State and All-Metropolitan Cen· ter, John Buller. However, Westside does have seven returning lettermen that should be the core of this year's team. These boys are Jim Jansen, Rusty Welch, Mark Jensen, Bob Urosevich, Jerry James, Dick Tharp, and Roger Herring. Two other seniors, Lee Fisher and Phil Blum, made varsity. Phil Blum, at '6' 5", will add height to the team. .Juniors on the team are Guy Ingles, Terry Johnston, and Bob Brown. These 12 players were chosen "from 80 boys who tried out. Coach Tangdall says that the team lacks the height it had last year, ·b ut the boys make up for it in hustle. There is no starting lineup, because seven boys are capable

Gary Shannon and Janet Lefler seemed to be the light of the evening when they sang a duet from "Porgy and Bess." Gary's excellent tenor voice combined with Janet's unique soprano voice created a very professional sound when they sang "Bess You is My Woman."

Sharon Clark, a previous Westside graduate, and WHS principal Mr. Hansen, have been diligently working on the forming of this organization. They have planned a puppet show, PINOCCillO to raise money for postage.

District 66 was formed in the school year of 1946-47, when the population of West Omaha was only 1800, and there were only 17 teachers.

WHS B-Ballers ProveStrengt Win Over Hastings, Colu~nbu The night of December 3 was filled with excitementforWestside and Hastings as they met in a clash of skill as both schools opened their basketball seasons. A strong offense helped Westside win 67-50. The significance of this game is that this is the first time Westside has beaten Hastings on their home court. · Hastings led most of the first quarter, but gave way to the shooting ability and fast breaks of Westside's determined bid in the second quarter. Phil Blum, 6 foot 5 inch forward,' scored 13 of Westside's 18 points in the second quarter. Blum gathered assistance from 'Dick Tharp, the leading scorer of the game, his points totaled 23.

Volberding, Bach Place in South High Invitational Westside High grapplers started the season taking fourtti place in the annual South High Invitational Wrestling Tournament. Ron Volberding was . champion at 180 lbs. and Al Bach was second at 120 lbs. There also were three in the semi-finals. The af- · fectionately called 'mat rats' look real strong this year with only a few weak spots. The following week, the wrestlers barely edged Fremont 24 to 22 with the North High Invitational the next day. Only three went to the semi-finals with AI Bach placing second, Coach Lou Miloni attributes the bad showing at North to being "out of shape" that week because of the lack of practices.

In Japan, school is six days a week rather than five. Why did the Shinagawas decide to come to Omaha? According to Shiro, his father, a Japanese manufacturer and inventor, met Dr. Edward Stimson, pastor of the Dundee Presbyterian Church, while Dr. Stimson was in Japan last summer. When Mr. Shinagawa discovered that his children would be visiting America, he wrote to Dr. Stimson and asked him to help find homes for Shiro and Misao. The Shinagawas will leave Omaha Jan. 4 for a two-week stay in Los Angeles. On January 22 they will return to Japan and their own school.

::bear {;Jifor Dear Editor, I am eight years old. SomE my little friends say there is Santa Claus. Papa says, "If see it in THE SUN it's so." Pl1 tell me the truth, is there a s~ Claus'/' Virginia O'Hanlo ltti West 95 St Virginia, your little friends wrong. They have been affe• by the skepticism of a skep1 age. They do not believe anytl except what they see. They that nothing can be which is comprehensible by their minds. All minds, Virginia, w er they be men's or children's little. In this great universe ours man is a mere insect, an in his intellect, as compared the boundless world about measured by the intelligence c ble of grasping the whole of tJ and knowledge.
recorded hymn and carol, holiday apparel, tinseled decoration, gay illumination, Christmas card and seal, charity appeal, Christmas feast and toddy, gifts for everybody.
In other words, like other folk, Comes Christmas and I go for broke.* At Westside the tradition of, "Going For Broke," applies to many things beside athletics. Perhaps one of the most obvious appearances of this spirit is at Christmas time. In the past, the halls have been gaily decorated by many different clubs, the Student Council provides a tree in the upper hall, and Top Choir entertains with the annual concert of carols. Throughout the halls can be heard comments like, "Don't tell him what I bought," "Thanks for the pretty card," or "Do you want to go shopping after school?" . • . . More important than the overt actions rs the feelrng wh rch seems t o motivate them. Everyone seems more considerate, happier, and more tolerant of the daily confusion. Many people cry out against the C:h~istmas season beginning to? early and existing on brash commercra"sm, but how bad can thrs be when the results are so good? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have Christmas all year round just for the atmosphere it brings? Every time Westsiders yell, "Go For Broke," let's hope its with the deepest meaning and thought on the spirit so obvious now. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

College Frosh Advise Seniors: Alter Habits Before Too Late by Mr. Karl Pecht An interview with freshmen at college will turn up some information and advice to pass on to Westside students. In answer to the question: "What would you do differently if you could take your last two years of high school over?'' here are some typical answers. "I wish that I had studied harder." This is the answer from students who used to get down slips at Westside, and are now getting down slips at college. Nothing has changed but the address. "I wish that I had taken my English composition more seriously. This college English is murder." This type of ·student murdered the English language in high school, and is continuing the slaughter on a slightly higher plane in college. "Tell the kids to learn to eat anything served to them. Dormitory food isn't home food, and we don't get pampered at all." This is good advice, but no one will heed it. From students in very selective colleges, this advice is apt to be heard: "At Westside, I was in the top quarter of the class. Of course, I had to work, but I got used to thinking that I was pretty smart. Here, all of the freshmen were selected from the top 10 per cent of their classes, so the competition is really tough!" "I wish that I had learned to organize my time better. At Westside, I took five solids and band, and so I was scheduled :.'or 30 hours per week. Here at college, I take 15 hours, and that means that with lab and phys-ed,

The Unbreakable Gift by Lorna For three long weeks now, the Bayer Valley farms have !been cut off from town by heavy snow drifts that shroud the road and the outbuildings. The Brewsters: Will, his wife Mae, and their young son Skip have been unable to leave their small farmhouse for almost a fortnight. It is Christmas Eve, and prospects aren't too bright for Christmas Day. Mr. Brewster was able to find on his property a small evergreen which they decorated with button strings and small painted mirrors, but he hadn't been able to take the family into town to buy any gifts.
I am not actually scheduled for more than 18 hours a week. I had to learn in a hurry how to make use of my unscheduled hours."
Mrs. Brewster, a small, quiet woman who seems older than her thirty-one years, bends over the supper table setting the places.
Rather often, when in conference with college freshmen, this information is offered: "In high school, I was in a lot of activitieschoir, Z Club, Pep Club, International Club, and a few more. Here at college, I have had to learn that I can't possibly be in so many activities and still keep up my class work, so I have to be more choosy in the activities that I allow myself."
"Will," she asks with a thoughtful tone, "I've been thinking what a sad Christmas Skip's gonna have. You sure there's no way into town?"
It is encouraging, too, to hear
statements like this·: "At Westside, I probably averaged between four and five hours a day )n homework, so I am used to it. But my roommate claims that he never had to crack a book at his school, and he has been having a lot of trouble getting down to work. I really feel sorry for him."
J. Love colors of the tree seemed dim and dull, and now the sadness of his parents was being conveyed to Skip. He wasn't sure exactly what it was, but he knew things weren't right. From above, he heard his father slowly start down the stairs. As Will came into the parlor, Skip rushed to him and ·gral>bed his arm.
"What have I done, Papa? Won't Saint Nick be bringing me any presents? I tried to be good, Papa, really." The time had come at last. Mae had heard them together, and knew she must help her husband tell the boy Saint Nick couldn't come this year. "Now listen, son," his father sits down heavily, ''your mother and I know how much you want presents for Christmas, but, well •.." He falters, and Mae steps up to them. "It seems Saint Nick is snowed in, too, and can't get through to bring the presents."
· "Now, Mae," Will answers from the closeness of the kitchen, "you know I tried yesterday and durn near lost the team in those snow banks. I'd hitch up again if there were any chance, but as it is .• ." "I know, I know. It's just that the boy asked me again this morning about what presents Saint Nicholas will bring, and I've run out of answers. He'll be so disappointed."
Now deep d a r k n e s s presses against the windows of the house, but somehow the tree seems a whole sight brighter, and the room seems warmer, too.
The shadow of the barn was touching the front porch; night was dropping fast, and Christmas morning was only a few hours away. A striking lack of cheerfulness settled over the farm house; even the
Mae has gone back to her kitchen; Will and Skip have gone out to feed the stock. It's a real clear night. Seems like the cattle will make it all right, and the coal has held up real well. May.be some gifts don't come in packages.
Council Plans Party Food, friends, and fun are what the Student Council hopes to offer Warriors. The possibility of having a T.G.I.F. party in the Student Lounge after school was suggested by President Rusty Welch at the council meeting, Monday, Dec. 2. The council wants to sponsor the party in order to make more use of the lounge. A combo may be obtained, and if the party is successful, more vending machines will be purchased for the lounge. According to Pennie Anderson, secretary, "the Student Lounge was e xpressly created for the enjoyment of the students, yet many haven't taken full advantage of it's facilities. We hope that the T.G.I.F. party the Student Council is planning will be successful and that the lounge will be frequented by more students in the future."
Mae and Will, waiting !or a tearful reaction, are sure surprised when Skip says in a small voice, "I really wanted some presents, but at least we got the tree, and I got you." His voice dwindles of!.

Gives Lecture After tracing the development of Boys' Clubs over the years, Mr. Hinckley frequently made reference to the Maynihan Report and an analysis of memtbership in the Gene Eppley Boys' Club North. These findings supported the idea -t hat something is needed to help the troubled boys in our city; and the Boys' Club is that something.
Plans for a mosaic were made at the last officer's m eeti ng of Art Club, held immediately after school on Thursday, Dec. 16. The Westside Chess team, now one game out of first place in the Metropolitan Chess League, plays Creighton Prep at Westside Friday, Jan. 14. Past wins include Westside over Ryan, 3-1 (Friday, Nov. 20 ) and Westside over Rummel, 3-1 (Friday, Dec. 10). Seward Hart, Juvenile Court Judge for Douglas County, spoke at the Dec. 4 CPAF meeting, following the general business session at 7 p.m. Mr. Hart dealt with the topic of juvenile delinquency in general, with reference to the recent troubles in Memorial Park.
Listing those principles which have led him to a career as counselor of troubled boys, he said, "The greatest handicap is fear . The !best day in history is today . . • The easiest thing to do in the world is flnd fault . . . The greatest knowledge is the knowledge of God." Pointing out the "shame of Omaha," Mr. Hinckley stated that Omaha had the distinction of having the high,·,;t rate of Negro illiteracy of any c- .nparably-sized city in the United States. He attributed many marital difficulties to this illiteracy and the resulting inability to get a job. Again , statistics were the basis for his statements. Said Mr. Hinckley, "Nearly one out of every four Negro women are divorced or separated .. . By the age of 18, only one out of two children are living with both parents." Problems other than th ose of the Negroes were also discussed. Speaking of teenagers in general, Mr. Hinckley said that more teens get into trouble today at an earlier age, with the trouble being more serious than ever before. He also warned teenagers of the low chances of success in teenage marriages. The applause and comments made by students following the lecture illustrated that many thought the lecture to be both educational and interesting.
SHOE FITTERS SINCE 1918
At the last meeting of Esquires, plans were made and committees set up for the annual Alumni Tea which is being held today. Secretary of FMA Micky Rachford reports that the Dec. 10 sale of cupcakes in front of the office was very successful.

Correction : The Dec. 3 issue of the Lance reported that the vicepresident of High School R ed Cross is Jim Woodland, and the secretarytreasurer is T erry Castater. However, the vice-president is Terry Castater, and ~he secretary-treasurer is Jim Woodland. R ecent events in Red Cross include acceptance by superintendent of Schools P aul Miller of an idea to help teachers at Lothrop Grade School. Rejected by the area head in St. Louis was a proposed new design for pins. Tuesday, Dec. 14 found three Westside Key Club members attend ing ind uction ceremonies at the Missouri Valley Key Club. The three members, a ccompanied" by Senior Guidance Counselor Karl Pecht, were Bob Johnson, Bob Mcintyre, and Don Marquardt. Ten members also attended the Dundee Kiwanis Christmas Party held Monday, Dec. 20. The party, partially supported by Westside's Key Club, was held for underprivileged youngsters in the area. T op Choir Instructor William Kellogg sang a solo entitled "The American Ballad" at the convocation on Dec. 16. Top Choir membe rs sang carols at the Crossroads Saturday, Dec. 18.

Avid Sports Interest Sta nford, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska a re t he college choices on Tamra's list. She plans on majoring in chemi try or m a th, and then going on to teach in one of t hose fields.
by Susan Kruse Basketball season is here again, and with it comes recognition for two sports-minded seniors, Tamra Hall and Mark Jensen. Tam and Mark have both played on basketball teams, the Junior Girl's Team f or Tam, and the Varsity for Mark. Tennis, golf, swimming, and f ootball are also included in Tam's sports activities. She was on the \'ictorious Senior Girl's Football Team this year, contributing a much-needed touchdown.
Mark Jensen played Freshman basketball at W estbrook from the time he was in seven th grade until nis freshman year. He then went on to be the only sophomore on the Varsity team at W es tside. Anyone who has seen him play for the past three years will know that he deserved this unusual honor. Mark has also played football for the past four years, on the Reserve team as a freshman and a sophomore, and the Varsity in his junior and senior years.
Tam is the President of GAA, a nd has been a member of that athletic club for the past two years. This summer, Tam was a swimming instructor at Westridge Pool, where she also swam on the swimming team. Athletics aren't the only occupiers of Tam's time, though. She has been in the top ten in class rank for two years. A semi-finalist for AFS last year, Tam has applied again this year for the privilege of studying in a foreign country. She'll find out in January whether or not she has qualified to go to some country in the Southern Hemisphere. In the summer of 1964, Tam attended the National Science Foundation Institution at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
This summer, Mark worked on the Playmobile that toured parks in southeast Omaha. "I like to help younger kids," he remarked when asked about the experience. Mark also played baseball this summer, as he has since his sophomore year, and caddied for an Australian in the Ladies' Pro Golf Tournament in Omaha. Mark would like to attend Iowa State Teacher's College in South Dakota, or Augustana College next year. He wants to teach history of math as a career. Why? "So I can coach!" He includes basketball, football, and baseball as the sports he would like to coach. Mr. Tangdall has been a big influence upon Mark during his high school years. Mark feels that Mr. Tangdall has "very high ideals, and a good philosophy on life," and that he makes the team work.
Band, Orchestra, Math Club, Pep Club, Z Club, I nternational Club, and Latin Club are among Tam's extracurricular activities. She also enjoys playing bridge, and watching all spectator sp.orts. Tam's interest in sports has been helped along by her brother, who is going to be a football coach.
Mark also thinks that Mr. Koch, as a baseball coach and teacher, has helped him out. "Mr. Koch lets you know what he is thinking," Mark stated, and in turn, Mr. Koch has helped many students to understand themselves better.
Out of the six schools Tamra has attended, she thinks Westside is the best, "especially in academics." "All the teachers have an interest in the students, and they're , ·ery friendly," was her comment.

The group, directed by Mr. William Lind, and accompanied by Kay Roger, avoided most of the traditional songs and pre e nted many different carols, both classic and mod ern. Their first song was "Fanfare for Christmas" by Gene Davis, and a little later, while t he brass choir was getting prepared, the audience was in vited to join the choir in singing "The First Noel." The cho ir and the brass choir combined to present a uniqu e arrangement of " Gloria in Excelsis Deo ." After this, the choir left to allow the brass choir to give its part of the program. They played " A Suite of Carols" by L eroy Anderson, a series of both fam iliar and unfamiliar Christmas carols. Following the brass choir was a soloist, Nancy Reicher, accom-
panied by a male chorus. She sang a volcalese, a song without words.
After the solo, the rest of th e choir returned to sing more songs, such as "Christmas is Coming." They also sang a Swedish folk song that the Scandina\"ian people si n g to show how much they enjoy celebrating from Yule to Lent. Wh en translated the name of the so ng is "Now it is Yule Again." The last song done by the gro up was one that they receh·e many requests for: "J ingle Bells." They sa ng a n arrangement by Ray Charles, and again the audience was invited to si ng along. However , most stude n ts found that it was almos t as if they and the choir were inging two different songs, because of the unusual arrangement. All in all, e\'eryone seemed to en joy the program, a nd one senior girl summ ed it up by commenting, "I really had fun at t hat com'o· cation."

Christmas is just around the corner, and people are busy preparing for this joyous holiday. Fruitcakes, cookies, candies, and tree decorations all add to this time of the year. The Christmas spirit is displayed in a number of ways before that special day. Christmas festivities, parties, and caroling play a special part as people anticipate that snowy eve when they wait for Santa to pay them a visit. This year is no exception for the Westside Top Choir. As in past years, they presented a concert of Christmas music u nder the direction of Mr. William Kellogg. The concert was presented to the students on Dec. 21. The band also played several selections, and the Drama Department presented a sketch.

The South Packers gained first place in all but two events. Westsiders John Moore and Tim Herrick placed first and second in the trampoline event, and Gary Spaulding snatched first in tumbling. South scored 53 total points, Westside 45, and Boys Town finished last with 12. Points are scored by the degree of difficulty in the event, the athlete's form, and the number of stunts performed in the allotted time.
By Lorna J. Love The aisles could not be described as spacious. One couple couldn't get through, so the boy, thinking every minute, filled a small dixie cup with water and yelled, "Somebody sick. Must have water. Let us by." All I can say is it's lucky there was no real need for that water, because it didn't make it very far. At Columbus, the train was met by busses, compliments of the Beaver Bus Lines. It might be pertinent to mention here that a surpnsmg n u m b e r of people walked. Our base drummer, at the end of the procession, played aH the stripper mu.sic he knew. An onlooker could follow his progress just by watching the lights that snapped on in house after house as he went by.
Grapplers Beat Ryan The Westside Warriors beat the Ryan Knights 28-22, Friday, Dec. 10, at Westside. Westside and Ryan both won six matches each. The Warriors pulled ahead by pinning five of the six. Randy Hardy, sophomore, pinned his Ol)ponent in the 95 pound division. In the 112 pound division Doug Ralston pinned his man. AI Bach won in the 120 pound division, and Bruce Moore in the 127. Senior Mike Burdic also won by pinning his opponent in the heavyweight division. The Warrior victory should prove as a guide line for future Westside wrestling events.
The annual seige is over. The poptop cans opened at the wrong end have been discarded, and the loose poker chips have been collected; the train migration to Columbus is over for another year.

The glare of light brought all sorts of excuses in favor of a black-out such as "it hurts my eyes" or "freckles popping out." At one point, a photographer wandered up and gave the boys the opportunity to yell, "Off with the light; we're developing film." While the dome was otherwise occupied, the rest of the cars were certainly not lacking for entertainment. John Swanson was running marathon races in the luggage racks, and of course a Conga line was set up (one, two, three, La Conga-whee!).

S ide Lines Westside Adds Three Victories by Scott llinckley
Westside cagers have looked strong their first few games of the season. When the Warriors polished off Hastings and Columbus in their first two games, it appears that some other out state school was watching. It seems that 14 players and coaches got a little sick <the rumor is food poisoning) after eating in Fremont on the way :!lome. ~orne outstate school has been tricky in the past; could this be another one?
thlete of the week, Dick Tharp works hard at daily praetice sessions
'Athlete of the Week' Averaging 18.5 points a game, eing high scorer in three of our · t four games, playing tough efense, and not getting food isoning have earned Dick "OTIS" harp Athlete of the Week honors. During the first two wins against astings and C o I u m b u s, · Dick red 23 points in each game. He as also one of the two boys who "d not get food poisoning from ne of their m eals. In the Bishop yan game, Dick scored only nine ints, but turned in a really ugh defensive game. He was igh scorer again at Lincoln High. Dick moved to Omaha in his
freshman year and went to W estbrook. He played football, basketball, and baseball at Westside during his sophomore year. This year, he started at defensive end on the Varsity Football Team and scored a touchdown at offensive end. Dick is also a member of the National Honor Society. Honorable mention goes to Mike "Granny" B u r d ic , heavyweight wrestler for the Warriors. In two straight meets, Mike had to win his match for Westside to win the meet, and both times he pinned his man. Mike was also all-state tackle in football.

State champions Boys Town have met their first defeat of the season against a surprising North High team. Many people feel that Boys Town won't be a tough game now that the Warriors have one less game to worry about. However, the defeat only means that Boys Town will try harder and that North will be tougher. Intramurals will be starting soon, and if some of you think football is rough, you should come and see these games. Although they just don't resemble the varsity, everybody tries their hardest. If you don't want to see the games, at least drop by the school and take a look at some of the uniforms.

Westside opened what appears to be a successful basketball season with three wins before losing to Lincoln High. Although most oi last year's starters graduated, others have taken their place and done just as well. Their victories were by ten points or more, and the loss to Lincoln was by sev en points. The Warriors took a two-day trip to Hastings and Columbus. At Hastings, the team started slow, but came on fast in the second' quarter to take a commanding halftime lead. Dick T harp was high scorer with 23 points, P hil Blum had 18 points, and Jerry James was top rebounder. The Warriors opened such a lead that coach T angdall cleared the bench. The final score was 67-50. The next night, the Warriors went up the road to Columbus, and over 800 students a:t1d faculty members took a train from Omaha to watch them play. Once again there was an unscheduled parade through the town, as students decided not to. ride the buses from the station to the school. The cagers seem to have a knack for starting out slow, for once again the Warriors were losing after the first quarter. Both teams had bad second quarters, but the Warriors went into the locker room with a slim halftime lead. From the third period on, the Warriors built up their lead and won by a ten-point margin, 64-54. Dick Tharp was again high scorer with 23 points, while Jerry James was top rebounder.

I really don't feel too sorry for the players, because I told the boys to eat at the Greasy Spoon at their own risk. Congratulations are extended to the players who didn't get sick. They must have strong stomachs, except for Phil Blum, who is rugged all over.

Food poisoning struck t he tea m sometime on t his trip, and on,y a couple of players showed up t or practice on Monda y. N o practice was held bec ause even t he coach was sick. Jerry James was in the hospital most of the week, but oy Friday all the other boys were able to play against Ryan. For the third str aight g ame, the cagers got off to a bad start. The game was close until there was little over a minut.e left in the f irst half of the Bishop Ryan game. The score was tied 22-22, but at the· hall. it was 32-22, with W estside winning. The cagers had it easy f rom then on, as they were able Lo open up a 20-point lead. T he final score was 60-40 with forwar d Jim Jansen getting 16 points, Phil Blum getting 13 points, and Mark Jensen ten points. The loss of 6' 8" Jerry James was felt in the game against Lincoln. The Warriors were a ble to hold their own on rebounds, but couldn't control them as t hey had been able to in the past. The cagers started slow again, but opened a six-point advantage a t halftime. The Links came out the second half and shot over 60 per cent as they scored 45 points, abO\·e average for a high school. The Warriors battled on, but just could not contain the Links, losing74-67. The Warriors had balanced scoring as Phil Blum, Jim Jansen, Dick Tharp, and Mark Je.nsen all scored in double figures. Because of printer deadlines, t he Warrior game against A. L. cannot be printed, but my usually correct predictor says that W estside will win by a 76-60 score.

Mr. and Mrs. Hall are very happy for their daughter, though they hate to see her leave. Tamra has wanted to be an exchange student since she was in seventh grade and has known many returnees who inspired her to try.

In a story about sending clothes, food, and toys to Viet Nam, it was stated that W estside graduate Gale "Mac" Olmstead, now a soldier there, had requested the donations. This was incorrect since he made no such request. Someone who knew that he was serving in Viet Nam suggested the idea. We apologize to Mac and thank M rs . Olmstead for pointing out the error.

Respect, otherwise known as honor, esteem, regard, or reverence, is not an "in" word for teenagers today according to many people. When questioned about their problem, they say there simply is nolhinq left to respect. It is refreshing to see that this problem is absent from the Westside scene. Surely no one would believe that the adjoining unposed picture was taken in the Westside parking IGt. Likewise the scars left by a fast car, known to some as "scratch," are unseen in our tenmile-per-h-our zones. It is comforting to walk the halls, which are fiHed with courteous, thoughtful students, confident that you will hear no abusive language. Using the restrooms or thro wing tras h away pose no problems, because our students take pride in "obscenity free'' walls and waste cans. Many students would laugh if t old that someone actually spat in the senior hall a few dl!!ys ago. The fine q ualities of some stud ents, obvious at school, were also visible on a rece nt tt:ain migration. Stolen articles ranged from ash tra>ys to restroom curtains, and some students went so far a s to tamper with the wiring in one car. Daily witn esses of o ur problem are the mercha nts of a nea rby shopping ce nter, who must tolerat e not o nly loud or rowdy behavior, but shoplifting as w~ll. The time has come to help W estside achieve its full potential by developing some good qualities. Let's throw the spirit of District 66 behind our cause. Make respect an "i n" word .

Expert Lettures on Alcoholism When dealing with alcohol Rev. Dunn said, "Remember, it is habit-fomling, narcotic, anesthetic, and poisonous. It affects all major organs of the body, particularly the stomach, the brain, and the heart which pumps harder as the veins and arteries close." Of the 554 accidents during the Year's weekend about 61 per cent were caused by drunken drivers. For ev~ry drink a person takes, it requires three hours for the liver to burn it off. Adcfitio.nal drinking buiJds up the hours necessary for oxidation. Therefore, a cup of coffee does very little when a person has been drinking. N~w

New Swanson Library Discussed at Westside The relationship between public and school libraries was d iscussed by junior and senior high librarians and Mr. Newman, Miss Proux, and Miss Beal from the Omaha Public Library.
about his past and assured students he knew what he was talking about : "You're listening to a guy who's been whipped by it, found his way back and become a successful failure." He then elaborated on the stages of alcoholism, beginning with steady d rinking and ending with complete addiction and organic deterioration. Perhaps his final statistics had the greatest effect on the students. There are 9,500,000 alcoholics in America, half of them women, 5,000,000 more people are alcoholic-prone, and 145,000,000 people are involved directly or indirectly. The past two weeks have been filled with activities for sociology students nearing the end of their course. T hursday, J an. 6, R ev. J erry D unn, a reformed alcoholic now p as tor of the Open Door Mission, gave a group lecture on alcoholism. I n speaking to the students he gave a very human picture of a very big problem, "Before we can fight alcoholism, which is the third largest killer in America," commented R ev. Dunn, "we must understand the product, the person, ar:d. the problem."

manded an explanation of why one of his students was part of Mr. Stribley's class and especially why she was "repeating" a test he had just given. A hurried explanation brought the light of day. Any twin, whether identical or fraternal, always,has a few choice words about the other like what one of ' the :Sarber boys said: "Mike is more straight f~rward." Larry DeBuse has his opinion of his twin, Linda: "She is no help at all ••• except in schoolwork."
Most identical twins say parents "just naturally know" which is which. These pairs might be surprised to know the strategies that go into on-the-spot identification. ' A popular device is to call for one or the other with your head down so you won't have to look at one in particular, and hope the right one will respond.

The JVs fell behind rn the first quarter of play against the Eagles Friday. Westside caught the Eagles only once, early in the second quarter.

The Warriors met the Burke Bulldogs Saturday at Westside. :Burke seemed to do fairly well the first quarter and held Mr. Jack Peterson's Junior Varsity to an 18-16 lead. The Warriors did not gain much in the second quarter. The third quaiter was a different story. Westside pulled to a 50-36 lead by the end o,f the third period. Despite some varied ball control and fouls, Westside managed to stop the Burke drive, and the Bulldogs went home a beaten team.' The final score was Westside 67-Burke 50.
Sun, sand, and surf are three things which an Omahan can only wish for at the end of December, but for eight Westside subsurfers, this hope became a reality as they journeyed to Florida. Mr. Harley Haidison, science teacher, accompanied eight junior boys-Rick Albers, Steve Barber, Craig Dudley, Mark Johnson, Dave Morgan, :Bob Peckham, Tom Petty and Glen Spaulding--on a trip to Miami, Fla. They left Omaha Dec. 23, spent Christmas in New Orleans, and finally arrived in Miami four days after departure. The boys went skin diving and body surfmg. They caught numerous Portuguese Men-of-War and conches, but due to eightfoot breakers, they were unable to go scuba diving. 'The Subsurfers camped in John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo, Fla. Cooking thei r own food, "they would have starved if it wasn't for F I o r i d a Whopper Burgers," said Mr. Harclison. Ne' Year's Eve was spent in Miami. New Year's Day they saw the Orange Bowl Parade by journeying through someone else's hotel room to their balcony. That night they saw the N ebraska-Alabama game. They left Miami at 2:00 a.m., after the game, and arrived home at 9:30 the next night. Better time would have been made, had the navigator remained awake, because his nap resulted in their
Sophomores Gain .Prestig~ By Winning Four Games WHS has had an outstanding basketball season this year. The fifth-ranked Warriors boast of eight wins and only two losses, to Lincoln High, and Tech. The Junior Varsity has also had a fine season with only a few losses. Many Westsiders fail to remember that there is one more Warrior basketball team that has been winning, the Sophomore team. The Sophomores, coached by Mr. Robert Rademacher, have succeeded in four attempts for victories, defeating Boys Town in the first 56-34. In the second game of their season, the younger Warriors downed South 63-45. I n the Sophomores" last two games., the tide has changed. The Warriors met the Nort:h Vikings
in their third contest and had to come from behind late in the fourth quarter to win 40- 36. The top-seated Ryan Knight· had the misfortune of facing the Warrior team Saturday, Jan. 8 at Westside. 'The Knights held a substantial lead for the first three quarters, but in the last quarter Westside scored 11 points while Ryan scored only six. Terry Grabor scored the last two points with only seven seconds left in the game. R i c k Mankameyer totaled up ten points to add to the Sophomore 42-40 win. Westside!s future in basketball within the next few years do. pends very much on this year\ Sophomore team.

They scored 15 points the second quarter to take a 22-17 halftime lead. High scorer for the Warriors was Jim Jansen, who hit a deadly outside jump shot eight times for 16 poirits.

The three winning posters are displayed in the library, and other entries are in various rooms throughout the school. The contest ended D ec. 15, and was open to any Westside student who wished to enter a poster pertaining to general safe driving and hazards, winter driving and hazards, or pedestrian safety. Similar contests were sponsored b y Safe-Teens in the three District 66 junior highs, with prizes of $5, $3, and $1. According to Mr. Ed Stribley, Safe-Teens sponsor, about 90 posters were turned in: 50 from Westside students and 40 from the junior highs.

Students Need More Government Recent controversy among seniors over graduqtion announcemet)ts e nd within · the entire student body over semester breaks has pointed " P a problem, not obtrusive but definitely important.
Carfootl by Den•y Sponsler
It seems that students have no place to voice their complaints ~here action follows their suggestions. The 18-member student co:.m-
cil , our only instrument of student government, handles convocations , club co-ordination and the student lounge. The actual power of the o rganization amounts to little or nothing. In a school of I ,800 there is a definite need for a larger, more Cl iverse system of government. Students seem to have taken a completely passive, di sinterested attitude toward the rules and regulations which control them. They are unhappy but have no chance to prove their point as right or wrong. If interest is awakened and students take it upon themselves to prove their stand , a student senate, boards of control , and m.JCk cou rts could be establi shed. Then rulings, popular, or unpopular, would at le ast be our own. NANCY EATON
Couldn't Be Prouder, Just Louder Many statements have been made this year concerning the lagging spirit shown for our athletes. Students have voiced their di sapproval in the " Letters to the Editor" column, Mr. Jerry Koch has spo ken before the entire student body, and teachers have lectured o n thi s subject in the classroom. This may have been the case previous to January 14, but the spi rit shown at the North ba sketball game certa inly made up for the lack of .spirit in the pa st. The Lance staff would li ke to commend those students of Westside H igh Sc hool attending the game on their display of enthusiasm whi ch reflected uoon the character of the ent ire student body. In the past, the Pep Club ha s been the only group to cheer in an organized manner, however, it was an extremely gratifying moment whe n all the boys rose together for ': Go For Broke"-without the prodd ing of the cheerleaders. Perhaps it won 't be much longer before the boys can take pride in yelling " We're from Westside, couldn't be prouder. You can 't hear us now? We 'll yell a little louder." THE LA NCE STAFF

W ord 'Aficionados' Have No 'Xenophobia' By Lorna
J.
Love
Riddle of the week: What are thousands of years old, very new, common to every place in the world but sometimes limited to one region, used i\} every situation, people are never born knowing them but always die using them? The answer of course (if you check the upside-down printing at the bottom of the page) is words. Many people use words everyday that originally meant something ,-ery much different than now. Robert Morris, in his book Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins, gives these examples: In the original Gaelic, the banshee was usually depicted as a beautiful woman, not a hag. If you need money badly, you rnight be forced to go to the benny. In lhe lingo of the jazz mu-
SICian, a benny is a pawnbroker. · If teachers insist on calling you a dunce, counterpoint with the . argun1ent that this word comes from the middle name of one of the most learned and brilliant scholars of the Middle Ages, John Duns Scotus. He was of a strongly conservative bent and soon gathered around him many followers who shared his opposition to many of the changes brought about by the Reformation. These people persisted so long in blind opposition that in time it came to be considered stupid. Ankh, bleb, crambo, fyke, grigri, hoicks, phat, skua, titi and xylyl are all words, and if you are an avid crossword puzzle worker they may be familiar. Ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol of a cross with a loop at the top. A bleb is a blister. Crambo is a word-rhyming game. A fyke can mean either a kind of fish
I~
trap or fidgetiness. Phat is a term used in printing to mean " profitable." Skua is a gull-like bird. A titi is an evergreen shrub . Slang has really come into the spotlight over the last few years, but not all of it can be attributed to the imaginative teenager. The word gimmick comes from the slang of carnival midways. The first gimmicks were hidden devices by which a confidence man or grifter could control the stopping point of the wheel of chance. The next time you ask for some scuttle butt, don't be surprised if you wind up with a glass of water in your hand. Scuttle butt means "gossip," but originally it meant the lidded cask from which the ship's company obtained drinking water. The sailors would gather around to discuss the latest rumors of two-week liberty at the next port. With this handy guide of word
origins, no one need feel that he can't hold up his end in any conversation. Your severe case of xenophobia (fear of strangers ) will quickly go away, but the stranger will be a real basket case worrying about meeting you again.

Girls B.B. Team To Meet South Does Wesbide have a GjrJ's Varsity Bask etball team? Up to this moment, the answer would have been a definite "no!" A group of senior girls who are interested in this type of competition, however, have' organized a team. Their first game will be with South, Feb. 24, at Westside. The girls had wanted to play South in a football game, using the Senior Girl's Football T eam. The weather curtailed that · idea, though, and the South g irls thought a basketball game would be a good idea. Carol Stromberg, the organizer of the Westside team, said that " there isn't really any special reason for the game." There will be no admission. If the crowd likes this game, it could become a precedent of girl' s basketball at Westside.

Looking to the future in the math program at WHS, a course in Computer Math may be initiated within the next two years, and one in Calculus perhaps within five years.

Occupy Quill & Scroll Elections of new officers for Quill and Scroll were held on Friday, Jan. 14. The re~ults were as follows: Linda Tway, president; Ginny Highfield, vice president; Susan Kruse, secretary; and Nancy Eaton, treasurer. Initiation of new members was held the week previous to the elections, and anyone in the club was eligible for an office. Candidates were nominated, and then voted on by secret ballot. The project which Quill and Scroll is working on now is the
printing of new Student Directories. They are being printed by Midwest Printers, and are expected to be ready shortly after the new semester begins. The directories will contain the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all students, faculty, office help, cooks, and custodians. According to President Linda Tway, the cover of the book is to be quite simple, but the exact design is being kept a secret. She also stated that the books would probably sell for about 75 cents.

The IN thing to do this year is to swing a patent bag from a short, slim, gold shoulder chain. The established shoe for this year is the buckled pump in suede, alligator, and patent. The buckle is gold and the heel is low. The soft, squared toe is flat to the ground. Textured, transparent stockings are the biggest rage. Not too many ideas have changed for the new year. Courrege is still the most influential name in the world of fashion. The little skimmers and the white boots are a long way from being out. Don't overdo the current rages and fads and you'll be right in step for '66.

It will take the English students right to the spot where certain works of literature took place. For the math students, ETV will relate ideas, principles, and theorems. It will expose the origins of mathematics. "ETV is the way we will have education in the future in terms of enrichment, motivation, and supplementation," said Mr. Winchell. '"We can never give attitudes, values, or understanding via television, nor can we replace human relations with mechanical devices."

Clothes That Swing Unconstructed is the word in tailoring and the small, straight shape is IN for 1966. Sportswear is sportier than ever before. Poor Boy ribbed sweaters and bell bottom trousers are for the IN girl on the go. The Nureyev pants suit is in canvas, the newest fabric. The jacket has wide lapels and the length of the jacket hugs the hips. The pan t s are bell-bottomed, of course. Another great idea is the granny that isn't. It's really bell bottoms that are made for those at-home parties. The newest idea in sweaters is the ribbed sweater that turns to smocking at the waist. Narrow coats over a soft little slip of a dress is the dressy outfit for '66. The first idea to follow this pattern is the narrow doublefaced coat in clear, vivid green fleece over a slip of beige jersey. Or choose the narrow houndstooth coat of ivory and blue, double-faced in blue over a pale blue skimmer. Vinyl, crystal clear coats are coming on strong this year for the fashion-minded young lady. Mixtures of colors are here in houndstoo~h. As in Tattersall with ivory, buff, and in clear blues, reds, and browns. Geometric designs cover the outfits. Granny dresses are here stronger than ever. Calico seems to be the most popular fabric. Wiele. floppy ruffles are seen at the collar, cuffs, and neckline. Cotton \·oile is the popular fabric for dressier occasions. Dotted swiss and linen are fabrics used for the demure little-girl-look of the grannies.
The purpose of ETV, as a tool of education, is to create interest. They hope to develop a K-12 program to increase articulation and to ma'ke possible continual growth in eadr area.

The Junior Varsity was handed a 51-42 loss against the Prep Bluejays, Friday, Jan. 21. Westside played a much better game than the score might incticate. The first quarter was ·very close, and the fast Prepsters found it difficult to hold a two-point lead. The pace stiffened in the second quarter as the Warriors managed to pull within one point at halftime. The Warriors pulled ahead in the eady part of the third quarter, but the Bluejays stayed with them and finished another quarter ahead of Westside. The Prep lead was by one slim point, and it looked as if the last period was going to progress the arne as the first three quarters. Prep ,f,€,!emed to claim supremacy over the ball and racked up 17 points in the final quarter, and ''\lestside only scored nine. Although Prep held their lead for most of the game, the Warriors must be gi,·en credit for a wellfought contest. Da,·e Prall vvas high scorer for Westside as he totaled 12 points.

The Sophomores hit 44 per cent from the field , as all members scored against the weaker Central team . The Reserve victory over Central gave the Warriors their fifth s~raight victory of the season, but on Saturday, Jan. 22, their winning streak was halted by the overpowering Trojans. The sophomores kept up with the Trojans for the first half. Tech only had a few-point advantage at halftime.

The Warriors should take an easy victory in the metro meet on the 27, 28, 29. The results of the state meet should prove to be a little more interesting. If the team is up for the meet, and if all goes well the Warriors might have a chance to beat Southeast, the current state champions.
Ice Hockey Is Sport For 'Indoor Athletes" By Steve Leger The President's physical education program may be the rage of the nation, but at Westside it is very interesting to note what is happening. Mr. Wayne Wagner, physical education instructor, has been having his boys participate in the well-known w i n t e r sport of hockey. It is true that winter is here and the ice is now solid. Therefore, it follows that hockey is the thing to do. Attempting a last stand at nonconformity, Mr. Wagner's "plucky puck pushers" avoid the freezing temperatures in preference to the warmth and non-slip security of the gymnasium. Neither the boys nor Mr. Wagner are afraid of the elements. Westside at present does not have an ice skating rink, and consequently they are forced to play in the gym with their plastic sticks and little round ball.

Side Lines by Scott Hinckley
Westside had its finest victory of the season when it beat Prep last Friday night. Prep has lost two games this year, both of them to Westside. Westside must now look forward to the rest of the season, playing one game at a time. All of you who wondered about the big fight at King's last Friday night after the P.rep game can rest easy. You didn't miss a thing. The weather was too cold, and the only fighting was to see who could get into King's and out of the cold, first. Phil Blum felt that he was not given fair treatment when he was reported to have 18 points in the Beatrice game. We would like to set the record straight and say that Phil made 20 points.
Warriors have upped record to 11 wins and two with wins over North, Beand Prep. This puts in first place in the Conference with a 6-0 victory over North Friday, 14, was a foul-plagued conBoth teams had three playout. The Warriors took quarter lead and never reit. Although Westside 74-61, it was a close contest the last couple of minutes. Blum was high scorer with · Dick Tharp with 16

and Mark J ensen with 14 were close behind. Westside traveled to Beatrice the next night and outscored them in every quarter but the last to take a 72-61 victory. Westside was outshot from the field, but hit 20 free throws. Phil Blum was again high scorer with 20 points, and Dick Tharp, Jerry James, and Jim Jansen scored in double figures. The Warriors scored a 69-53 victory over Prep Friday, Jan. 21, upsetting the Bluejays for the second time this year. Westside led by as much as 22 points before Coach Tangdall substituted. The Warriors had a four-point lead at half, but opened the game early in the third period. Dick Tharp had 19 points, Rusty Welch had 14, and Phil Blum 13.

Westside has two tough games this weekend, one against South and the other against top-rated Benson. South beat Tech last week, and Tech handed Westside one of its two losses of the season. Westside must play as good as it did against Prep if it wants to beat Benson. Westside over South 73-57, and Westside over Benson 68-65.
Pop-Tops Win Fourth Intramurals is now into its fourth week, with the games still as "interesting and exciting as ever." The Pop-Tops won their fourth straight game and are expected to win their division. The Big Toads lost a game. in sudden death overtime, after winning in sudden death overtime the week before. Last week they beat the Barbarians to even their record to two wins and two losses. Senior Rod Broughton scored 18 points for the winners. Two intramural games were played this week, and there will be one each week until early March. Anyone may attend the games, which are on Tuesday nights.

Phill Blum perfects his style in p ractice
'Athlete of the Week' Phil Blum's outstanding offensive and defensive play in the North and Beatrice games has earned him Athlete of the Week honors. He was high scorer both games, bagging 17 points against North, and 20 points against Beatrice. Phil was born in Omaha, and has lived here all his life. He first came to Westside when he was in seventh grade. He started playing basketball as a freshman on the B team, playing regularly. His sophomore year, he was on the Reserves, and his junior year, he was part of the one-two punch that led the Reserves to a fine season.
Although he alternates at center with Jerry James, he is the third highest scorer on the team, behind Jim Jansen and Dick Tharp. When playing with Jerry, his 6'5" frame adds a lot of strength to our defense and rebounding. Phil also plays tennis; this will be his fourth year of it. Phil is active in other things besides sports. He is now president of both Hi-Y and Interact clubs and treasurer of the Student Council. He is also a member of theW-Club. We hope that Phil will be a great help the rest of the season like he has been o far.
Warriors' Machines Those who read last issue's car column will recall a statement that Rusty Welch's car beat Phil Blum's. Phil has an answer to this. ''I have a six cylinder car, and one of the cylinders is frozen, leaving just five working. That is why Rusty ·beat me." Phil drives a 1960 Rambler Classic that has only 5,000 miles

on it, with power brakes and power steering. Phil calls it the " Green Hornet," because both the outside and the inside are green. He has classic hubbies with an R imprint. There is no chrome on the car, because he feels that it would slow his machine down. The automatic three-speed push button gives it its power and take-off. He is also proud of his radio and heater that he claims work. Phil drives the Green Hornet to school every day, but because he is such a demon behind the wheel, he may be kicked out of the lot for the safety of others. He says it is not his fault, but his machine is hard to control.

Three Clergymen To Speak Feb. 14 On Brotherhood A convocation in connection with Brotherhood Week will be given in the boy's gym on Monday, Feb. 14. Mr. Andreas, history teacher, has engaged three speakers for the program. The speakers, one from each faith, will be Rabbi Rubenstein; Dr. Stempson, a Presbyterian minister; and Father John M. Ginsterblum, a Catholic priest. Each of the men will speak on any aspect of brotherhood that they chose. The Lance wishes to correct an error it made in the Jan. 18 issue of the paper. In the story about Westside's twins, a few of the people listed as twins are not. We apologize to these people and wish to thank them for pointing out the error.
Lance Tells WHS History Do you ever wonder what used to happen at WHS? "Have they a I w a y s had a Sweetheart Dance?" you might say. J ust five years ago this month, the highlights were as follows: There were 166 students on the first semester honor roll. W Club nominated their candidates for the Sweetheart Dance. They were Sharon Church, Shorty Jenkins, Linda Kimmel, Pam Neuhart, Judy Peterson, and Tina Swanson. The six seniors on the basketball team were Larry Hammer, Bill Lutz, Chuck Mumma, Bob Saffer, Dennis Simmons, and Jerry Switzer. Prep defeated Westside with a score of 52-66. Plans were being made for the musical "South Pacific." Jana Doxon and Felix Meyers were chosen for the leads.
Juniors to Select '66 Prom Theme Junior class officers and the Prom committee met last week to select a theme for this year's Jr.-Sr. Prom, according to Sharon Brock, Junior class treasurer. General chairman of the May dance is Bonnie Tomek. So far this year the juniors have raised money by selling booster pins and plastic coin purses. A sock hop in December netted about $125. Future plans include sponsoring another sock hop after the Feb. 25 game with Fremont and selling class pins. Proceeds from the annual Jr.Sr. Girl"s Basketball Game will also go to the Prom fund.
This will be Mr. Kellogg's 15th leading role for the Omaha Civic Opera and one of the more than 30 leading roles which he has sung in his professional career. He has sung with the St. Louis Municipal Opera, the Central City Opera House Assoc., the Greek Theatre in HoiJywood, the Denver University Theatre, and the Omaha P layhouse, as well as with the Omaha Civic Opera. He has been soloist with the Lincoln and Omaha Symphonies, and he wi ll be singing with the Sioux City Symphony March 27 in a Lerner and L oewe Concert. Verdi's opera " R igoletto" is set in and near M antua in the 1500's. R igoletto is the hunchback jester to the Duke of Mantua. His one daughter, Gilda, he jealously guards from the intrigues of the court, but the Duke discovers her, and, disguised as a student, wins her love. A group of courtiers, anxious for revenge on Rigoletto for his taunting insolence, enlists his aid in kidnapping his own daughter by telling him he is snatching someone else. When he discovers what he has done, he swears revenge. Rigol etto forms a plot to kill the Duke, but Gilda suspects her father's plan. She goes to the

Honest Students Scorn Cheaters
::Dear {;Jifor D ear Editor, An article in the Feb. 1 evening World-Herald contained a pic· ture of two Westside students, one a member of our starting five, "Hanging in Effigy" McBride. I feel that this was in bad taste, because it shows very poor sportsmanship. Even though I don't agree with Mr. McBride, I feel that our Warrior team is in a better position psychological· ly. The team and coach will not have so much pressure put on them as if being noted as No. I, They won't fail us, I'm sure. When the final ratings come Westside will be on top! A Loyal Fan
Students now involved in the new classes as a result of semester changes have practically forgotten the pressure of exams and the gra des for which they worked so hard. Perhaps the most forgetful people, who also laugh at the memory, are those who cheated for t heir grades. In order to understand the cheater, it is necessary to understand his motivations. The initial pressure is for good grades and behind that, the desire for college acceptance. It is hard for the student to accept that one-fi fth of his grade will be based on his semester exam, and, in many cases, it may cause a drop of a full grade point. The old adage, "Cheaters hurt no one but themselves," sounds very good but means very little when sincere students get lower grades and reprimands for their lack of study. Teachers seem afraid to accuse without concrete proof. It seems th at added discipline would be appreciated by the majority of students who do not cheat and are powerless to defend themselves against these "grade robbers," NANCY EATON
Our Responsibility To The Future Westside High School has become so much a part of us that we often forget there is another world beyond these halls. While we are students, the high school environment dominates our academic, athletic, and extra-curricular activities. During this period, the attitudes and values in life are formed. Therefore, we must realize that high school is a period of preparation. Our'education should be more than an accumulation of facts; it must be an awakening to and an acceptance of our responsibilities. We must progress in maturity and develop the ability to think reasonably and to evaluate accurately. Only with maturity will we be able to realize the importance of our daily acts and decisions. Youth today is often ashamed to be marked as patriotic or religious, words upon which our nation was founded. Loyalty, brotherhood, and love have lost their meanings. Conscience no longer refers to the inner guiding self, but rather to the dictates of the social order. Rebellion and discontent are "in," while harmony and understa nding are "out" among many of our generation. The remedy for these social ills is an objective evaluation and re-evaluation of self. This introspection must be based upon mature and educated reflectio n which has been cultivated through the years in the home, church, and school. The school must provide the stimulation for the intellectual growth and maturity. In the final analysis, howe:-;er, it is the res ponsibility of the student to utilize these opportunities. The challe nges of the future demand that we take full advantage of all available educational opportunities. Steve Ladwig
Sfam Happy He slams the door! He slams his book shut. He even slams the books on his desk. Everything he does is in slam-happy fasr..ion. Does he like the noise and the attention it causes? Or is he so manly, so violent that every act must be followed by a slam?. Hardly. The slamer is just a little boy who thinks that making noise is fun-fun. He never grew out of
those third grade thrills that required every boy to drop his pencil at a certain time-particularly when a substitute teacher was assigned to take over the class. Fun-fun-fun. Older, but not wiser, the slammer is still dropping pencils. What does it matter if the binding of a book is weakened? Or if the door hinges become undone? It's just fun-fun to the slam. So slam he does-this big, little third grader in long pants.

Schedules Give Freedom Giving students the opportunity to use free time where they need it is the basic principle behind flexible scheduling. Four faculty members recently returned from Decatur and Norridge, Ill., where this concept is employed. The system utilizes team teaching-large group lectures with various teachers and small group discussions. Classes meet for different lengths of time on different days, depending on the nature of the course. Students are able to go at their own speed and have freedom as long as they can handle it. They also have more time for research, individualized instruction, and extracurricular activities.
Smile Awhile The crowd cheered wildly as the team trotted onto the court. Five determined men going forth to fight for the old school. With them came Charlie. On the campus, his genial personality had made him many friends. He turned and faced the fans. He smiled. There was determination in his smile. He assumed a pose the fellows had seen so often, and with an assuring tone in his voice, barked out, "Peanuts, popcorn, candy."
Mrs. Judy Hoyt, Mr. Dick Tonjes, Mr. Jack Peterson, and Mr. Wayne Wagner found the system, hinging on team teaching and free time, to be "realistic, p ractical, and highly desirable." According to Mr. Peterson, the only drawback is confusion.
Thought For February A tall man came along about a hundred years ago and taught us a lesson perhaps some of us tend to forget. What a man is, what he can do, what he has to say-these are more important than whence he came, where he lives, or what he looks like. Heredity, environment, appearance, and education are not of themselves passports to stature. The components of any success are difficult to isolate, let alone assess. There would be no cut diamonds if there were no uncut diamonds first. Would you let a Lincoln wart overshadow a Lincoln virtue? "What is a weed?" asked Dr. Emerson. "A plant whose virtues have not been discovered." Reprinted from Newsweek
Did you ever have trouble with adjectives? Why not take Mark Twain's advice? "When in doubt, strike it out."
Early Life Of Dan Cupid Exposed By Lorna
J. Love
It 'Was a late evening on Feb. 14 in the borrough of Brooklyn, New York, when Danny was born to Marcia and Ross Robonowitz, two not-sa-well-known vaudeville hoofers at the Golden: Globe Theatre. Let's face it. "Robonowitz" is just not Marquee material. So, they were on the bill (the bottom-following the man who roller skated under tables), known by their stage name, Cupid. Dan was an unusually good kid-in comparison that is. He never stayed out more than a half hour after curfew; nobody ever heard him speak anything but good King's English (He even liked school); and, worst of all, he :was .seen J;wice helpin.g his
mother in their cold-water, walk-up flat. He just about ruined the lousy reputation the rest of the guys on the block had worked so hard to acquire. All in all, Dan was a pretty happy, non-psychotic boy. Only one thing bothered him. How much confidence can a guy have when he's only three feet tall at the age of 14, and people keep stepping on his knees? It did present a problem, to say nothing of claustrophobia in crowds. It became increasingly obvious to Ross and Marcia that he just wasn't cut out to be a doctor (couldn't reach the operating table) or a big time lawyer (he could hardly see over the court railing) or a famous athlete (not too much call for a five foot pole yaulter). Finally the decision
was made. Dan joined his parents' act. The months went by fairly well for everyone, but soon one of Dan's talents was becoming the gossip of the city. He was forever being stopped on the street by women who wanted free advice on their love-life, and he was constantly asked to write articles for Hugh Hefner because is s~ems that Dan (Cupid) Robonowitz had gained national fame, not as a song and dance man, but as a counselor in affairs of the heart. It hardly seemed possible, but what Dan lacked in height he made up in matchmaking ability. Few people are aware of the grim beginning of Danny Robonowitz, but every store in America at this time of year cashes in on his later fame and popularity.

Language Department Looks To The Future Accord ing to the dictionary, language is the expression or communication of thoughts and feelings by means of vocal sounds. This year 750 Westsiders are spending an hour or more each day learning to communicate their thoughts and feelings in French, German,. Latin, or Spanish. Originally Westside's Language Dept. offered students two years of French, Spanish, or Latin. However, increased facilities and the f<;~ct that many students began a language in junior high have caused the department to expand.
Spotlight on ••• Fran and Bob
Michigan U Gains From WHS Pair by Susan Kruse With the oeginning of their last semester in high school, seniors naturally begin to look forward to college. Two W'estsiders who will probably spend their next semester at the same college are Fran Bladt and Bob Johnson. Both students have been accepted at the University of Michigan. Math Background Fran Bladt has already started her career as a teacher. This summer she taught program math at Westside, and she recently began tutoring a student in algebra. ~eedless to say, Fran plans on being a math teacher.' Music is another of Fran's favorites. She has played the piano for eight years and has given lessons for a year. Fran also participates in her church choir. Fran's scholastic and extra-curricular activities combine to make her a very busy student. She is the secretary of Z Club, a member of National Honor Society, a ~ebraska Regents alternate, and a member of GAA, Pep Club, Math Club, and FMA. Fran is also a past member of Spanish Club, International Club, and YTeens. In addition to her many organized activities~ Fran is interested in all types of sports, spectator and active. She is the vicepresident of her church youth organization and teaches Bible classes every Sunday morning. Despite all these time-consuming activities, Fran still finds time to work part time at Virgies. Another ''Troopie" Fran is the third Troopie to be in the Lance Spotlight this year. T he Troopies have made trips to Halsey for the past two years, with the help of Mr. Hardison. T he object of these trips is to learn more about nature, human or otherwise. The girls hope to make another trip this summer. Mr. Hardison, Mr. Tangdall, and Mr. Gloor have been a great influence on Fran during high school. She feels that they are genuinely interested in their students, 'and pass their interests on. Fran has also applied to Stanlord for college admittance. She has chosen Michigan and Stanford for their excellent Math,
Chemistry, and Music Departments. Business Administration Bob Johnson has chosen to go to Michigan because of its excellent Business Administration Department. He hopes to become an accountant, and with his tal·ent, he could very well be whatever he hopes to. Bob won a Nebraska Regents Scholarship with one of the top 24 scores in the State. He has also been named a National Merit Semi-Finalist. In the time that Bob is not studying, he likes to read, play chess, play tennis, or go bowling. He is presiden t of Chess Club and Math Club. He was vice-president of both of those clubs as a junior. Bob is also a member of NFL and Key Club. Last summer, Bob traveled in the East for three weeks, visiting the World's Fair. He has come to the conclusion that "Bob Johnson is a hick." He just doesn't like big cities with their aggressive attitudes. "That's another reason why I decided to go to a midwest college," was Bob's explanation. Academic Strength Bob has learned to appreciate Westside's academic standards. "The high academic standards at Westside move the students to accelerate more than they might have," commented Bob. His experiences in the Omaha Public Schools have helped him to come to this conclusion. Bob has appreciated Mr. Winchell's help throughout high school. He believes Mr. Winchell gives students direction in their lives that can be used outside school as well as inside.
Why, Yes!
At present the curriculum includes four years of German and L atin and a five-year program for French and Spanish students. Fourteen students are taking advantage of a fifth year of study, 13 in Spanish and one in French. "Next year we plan to add courses in fifth year German and Latin," commented Miss Juliann Donoghue, head of the department. At Westside the use of the language lab and in-class speaking are stressed. The language lab was added to the department in 1963 an d is used to accust"0m students to native accents and to evaluate their progress from recordings. The teacher may listen to the entire class's responses or tune in on an individual student to check his responses. Ten teachers make up the staff for the Language Dept. this year.

The place to find the right d ress for you is just across th e street.
All of us like Valentine's Day because it reminds us of pleasant things in the past. We don' t observe this day like Christmas or Easter, but we obsen路e it in our own special ways. When we were younger, we used to decorate big boxes and stuff all the valentines for our little friends into them. If there was a special girl or boy, but we didn't want her or him to know, we might even have stuck a piece of candy in that friend's card. The shy little boy would place his card or candy on the doorstep, ring the door bell, tnd then run. Mothers will tell you their happiest moment was the time their small child scrawled "To My Valentine" on a funnyshaped heart. Most of the older boys think of sending candy and flowers to their special one. Many times we are surprised when the boy
or girl we didn't think knew we were ali,路e sends a card. Cupid always comes to mind ,,路hen we think of this day. All of you can probably remember your most memorable Valentine's Day. Each one means more as we grow older.

WHS Tankmen Gain '66 ·Metro Title
Westside ca,ptured its second· straight Metropolitan Conference swimming championship, Saturday, J an. 29, at Westside's pool. The Warriors made a definite show of strength by winning the meet with a total of 315 points, 89 points ahead of second place Creighton Prep. Steve George, Westside sophomore, helped the Warrior team by setting two meet records. He snatched a record in the 200yard free-style event by upping the mark to 1 :55.3 in the prelims, and only fell behind that mark by .2 of a second while winning a first place in the finals. George also gained the record at the finals in the 400-yard free-
style event with a time of 4 :11.6. Sophomore Todd Smith · of Westside held on to his Metropolitan d i v i n g championship, which he established last year. Smith also set a record in the individual medlay, with a time of 2:14.4 at the prelims, and matched that mark in the Saturday finals. WHS set new marks in the 100-yarq free-style, the breaststroke, and the medlay relay. Senior Steve Snodgrass copped the breast-stroke title with a time of 1:08.

Sophs' Drive Slows In Prep, T./. Games The Sophomore basketballers have begun to lose a little of their sparkle. They were downed in their last two games with Thomas Jefferson and Creighton Prep. The T.J. game on Saturday, Jan. 29, was all but a spirit booster for the basketball-youngsters as the tough T.J. ball club began a barrage of field goals. The Warriors fell behind early in the first quarter and never were able to catch up. The 7253 loss was the second they have sustained this season. Westside met Prep Friday, Feb. 4, at Westside. An "I make a basket, you make a basket'' theory prevailed in the first quarter, and both teams were tied at the end of the period. The second quarter went much the same as the first, but the Bluejays managed to grab a twopoint advantage at halftime. Prep changed the pace in the third period as they scored 17 more points than th e Warriors. The 52-37 lead did not effect the
sophomores, as they came back scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter. Three Warriors finished in double figures. Dale Bekin and John Tatreau were on top with 14 points, and Rick Mankameyer hit ten. The Warrior return performance was in vain, and they fell for the third time this season. The final score was Westside 55, Prep 60.

The Westside gymnasts and matmen won contests last week over two of their toughest opponents, Tech and Boystown. In the gymnastic meet Thursday, Feb. 3, WHS defeated Tech by a 21-point margin. Four firsts were nabbed by the Warriors. The firsts were landed by Chuck Culberson on the rings, Steve Capoccia on the high-bar, Jim Kavorik in the free-exercise event, and J ohn Moore on the trampoline. K avorik scored in one more event as he took second in tumbling. Roger R ehurek and Dave Duffin also took seconds, Rehurek on the parallel-bars and Duffin on the horse. The final tally of points showed the Warriors on top 6948. This was the most decisive win this season for Coach Bob Moscrey and his boys.

THE LANCE
Lines by Scott Hinckley
Many Westsiders feel . that the school has been slighted in the state ratings. The Warriors beat Prep for a second time, once by ten points and once by 16 points, and were still rated behind them. The next week, the Warriors beat the number one team in the state, Benson High, by 19 points and were still rated behind Benson. These may be good reasons for feeling slighted, but the state ratings don't mean that much now. Wait until after the state tournament and the Warriors will be number one.

The Junior-Senior Girls' Basketball Game will be coming up soon, and the juniors will be trying to get even for the loss in football. The game last year was close, and the boys got more excited than the girls. The cheerleaders were great, but it is of popular opinion that one of last year's officials was prejudiced. This year they should have two senior boys officiating the game, so there will be no doubt of the fairness. The Warriors have a tough game with Tech High tonight. Tech is one of two teams who have beaten the Warriors this year. Tech is a hot and cold club that can beat any team on a given night, or lose. The Warriors have improved since their last meeting and will take a 66-57 victory. Westside must face a tough Boystown team next week. They have the best defense in the league and have beaten Benson. Westside does have the height to match and will win 61-53.

Girl's Basketball Team To Play South Feb. 24
The Warrior Machine for this issue is John Andracki's 1962 M.G. Midget, which is black with a white top and red leather interior.
A basketball game against the girls from South High is being planned for Thursday, Feb. 24. Carol Stromberg, senior, has made the arrangements with South for the game,
It has an Isky 505 Magnum Cam with Jahns 12.5:1 pistons. The car has twin bored S.U. carburetors, and also a Smith Tach, an oil, amp, water cylinderhead, and vacuum gauges by Stewart Warner.
As of yet, no team has been chosen, but any interested senior girls are welcome. Carol hopes to have a team organized soon, so that practices can be scheduled to prepare for the game . According to Carol, the girl's

As for the sponsors, all they can do is stand and stare and recall that such places were raided for such activities when they were young.

Female dropouts are more likely to work as domestic servants in private homes. Female graduates are four times as likely to find clerical work as dropouts. Unemployment rates are highest for female dropouts. These and other facts were cited by President Johnson when he called for cooperation from employers, unions, civic, trade, and religious organizations, and state and local governments to "exert every influence they command to bring to our young people facts on the importance of education."

Jewell and Mark became Westside's 1966 Sweetheart royalty as a result of voting by the student body in first period classes on Monday, Feb. 14. The gym was decorated according to the theme "Spotlight on the Stars." Candidates' profiles were fastened to the curtain on the stage, and the names and numbers of all the senior basketball players appeared on one wall. Scores of the games which the Warriors haYe won were placed on the other wall, and a large, red heart and balloons hung from the ceiling. Stars also adorned the doors, wall s, and ba>kets.
Twelve committees of Pep Club girls worked on decorations, publicity, procession, and refreshments to help make the dance a success, and W Club member sold tickets and helped decorate. Music for the annual Sweetheart Dance was provided by the Chevrons.
Westside Juniors fo Attend Institute "It takes people to get people well" is the theme of the human sciences conference to be held Saturday, March 5, at the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute. Westside representatives will include journalism students Janet Christensen and Val McKinnon, and science student Dianne Casper and Brian Hill. Journalism students are invited, because persons skilled in the communication arts are needed to translate and transmit the files of human sciences to the public. Science students are attending, as they have already expressed an interest and ability in human sciences. The conference program includes briefing sessions, separate science and journalism panel s, tours, and question, answer, and discussion period with professional workers. The program's purpose is to expose students to the opportunities and requirements. and to proYidc ince ntiYe for career selection in the firld of human sc ience,.

"Show and Tell' Pledge Disregarded In elementary _school, we learned the basic; skills which were _to lerve as a foundation for our seconda ry education. Advanced sen1or ftlath would be impossible if we had not learned to add, subtract, ftlultipl y, and divide. On the other hand, the "mickey mouse" institutions of elementary school were dropped upon entering secondary school. Upon entering seventh grade, we beca me adults, for we no longer had to take afternoon naps, share our e xpe riences during "Show and Tell, " or recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the American f lag . Naps and "Show and Tell" are rightfully where they belong-in o ur memories. It is sad to note, however, that the Pledge of Allegience, honoring the country to which we owe so much, is among the tanks of these elementary school cast-offs. The Pledge does not take more than two minutes. First period o r history teachers could try to fit these two minutes into their daily plans. If this would waste too much valuable time, it could be worked Ot..t on a weekly basis. Even reciting the Pledge en masse at our convocations would be better than not reciting it at all. We were taught the Pledge of Allegiance with the hope that it would carry over into our later lives, daily reminding us of our country-"one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Now that we are mature enough to truly understand the Pledge instead of merely spewing it forth, it has been discontinued. WHY? JANE THOMPSON
Discretion Should Guide Buying " We no longer keep up with the Jon ses; we keep up with the young ." This statement by Bruce A. Gimbel, New York City department store president, should cause us to stop a minute and consider how much influence we have. Have you ever · thought of yourself as having any importance to anyone beside yourself, your family, and your friends? Teenagers, collectively, have become one of the most closely-studied and (without knowing it) closely controlled groups in th e world. One of the re·asons for the great interest is found in a recent survey by the Associated Press which showed that the nation's 24 million teenagers now have a combined spending power of IS billion dollars. A large number of businessmen are reorganizing entire prodtJction and sales programs according to the demands of the youth market. The unseen control comes from the advertising world which shapes the teenagers' fads and demands in such a way that kids think the decisions are their own. California's consumer counsel, Mrs. Helen Nelson, said, "Teenagers have replaced farmers as the economic backbone of the nation." If we are this important, it is no wonder that we are the target of daily "propaganda" from advertisers. While glancing through a popular teenage magazine , it is possible to find hundreds of products whose appeal is directed entirely to the tee·n age mind. Each one guarantees to make us more popular, more fun, or more "in." This is not to say don 't buy, but use discretion and common sense to judge true value. By developing better buying habits now, we will be prepared for wise spending as adults when choices are greater 1n number and our decisions are more important. NANCY EATON
Pep Rallies Defeat Their Purpose Friday, Feb. 18 I witnessed what 1 consider to be one of the poorest examples of a "pep rally" I've ever seen. In fact, most of the student body would rather have stayed in class than view such a display of student indifference. Everyone of us can take a certain amount of criticism or kidding. Indeed, we would be very weak if we could not; but deliberate, personal slams have no place in a public assembly. If the purpose of a peo rally is to unite the classes and show school spirit, this rally and several before should never have been presented. Team members, always willing to oblige, were obviously unhappy with the entire situation and I'm sure received no feeling of team support. The remarks passed at sophomores and seniors in particular did nothing for inter-school unity. People were so disgusted that they walked out on the school song, something I've never seen before. These rallies seemed to contribute to the feeling of friction between classes which hurts everybody. It has been said, "A house 'divided against itself cannot stand." Likewise there can be no solid school support if it is more important to know a person 's from the class of '66 or '67 than to know he's from Westside. NANCY EATON

or. Toinhstones Can Be AlllUSII /
By Lorna J. Love Many people can spend most of a lifetime looking for a source of amusement, but seldom would they think of looking in a graveyard. Now, not all creative writing is found in Modern Lit. I n fact some of the most original material (to say the least ) can be found in the comic epitaphs, from the very best old graveyards, of course. For all the gentlemen who suffered through married life within the shrewish reach of a screaming wife, a few epitaphs have been written to express their feel- . ings, such as: "This spot's the ~weetest I've seen in my life, For it raises my flowers and covers my wife." What more could one ask? And, no one could quarrel with the sentiments behind this
one: " Here lies my wife in earthy mould, Who when she lived did naught but scold; Good friends go softly in your walking, Lest she should wake and rise up talking." Some are short and sweet: "Tears cannot restore her: Therefore I weep." The definition of an epitaph is a memorial that usually lies above about the one that lies below. Whoever the · people are who think up some of these must stay up all night working on · them. Some of the things written on tombstones are more descriptive of the people for which they are intended than any biography could be. "Here lies Ann Mann: She lived an old maid, But died an old Mann." Anyone would remember this man long after he has gone on to his reward. "Jon-

Letters To The Editor Dear Editor, Pep Club members recently voted for Sweetheart Queen candidates. These candidates had to have been senior members of the club with an award earned during their junior year. The Pep Club sponsors this dance and Homecoming with W Club every year. Now my point is, would it or would it not be more fair to the Warriors for at least one of these affairs to be an all-school effort? For example, if the Sweetheart Princess were chosen, all the clubs in the school could help with preparations and each sponsor one candidate for queen. The king could be selected from the wide range of all the winter sports. I truly believe that this type of arrangement would carry much more interest and enthusiasm for the student who is not in Pep Club or W Club, but does participate in the various other school organizations that are, granted, not as large, powerful, or well-known. Is it not time for a minority rebellion at WHS? · Ellen Wheeler
Dear Editor, Many people believe that the Class of '66 is the most athletic class Westside has ever had, and I'll readily agree. But I'd like to amend that motion by adding the part most important to the junior athletes. This is the ability of the seniors to identify themselves with the younger athletes (affectionately known as "Rookies"). I first noticed the policy toward "Rookies" of other schools during the last Boystown game where I saw six of the second string warming up on the side of the court. Does this generate enthusiasm and spirit? Through three years of junior high and high school athletic competition, the majority of us, the junior boys, feel we owe a great deal to the seniors and their encouragement, and I hope we further the tradition of close relations, experienced advice, and help to our younger athletes. Only through these relations will self confidence, desire, interest, and the spirit of which WHS is proud be applied to this statement: " You can only be as good as you make yourself." Junior Letterman

They were required to submit a black-and-white perspective, four elevations, a floor plan, and a complete model of the house with landscaping.

Martha McGuire and there next year. She wishes to Andy Denes devote a great deal major in math and become a of their time to the fields of music junior high math teacher after and art, respectively. graduation from college. New Westsider New to Westside, Martha McGuire moved to Omaha in August of 1965 from Fargo, N. D. In her senior year at Fargo Central High, she was to have been the class treasurer, but her plans had to be set aside because of the anove. While in North Dakota, Martha was a member of the lchool's Chamber Orchestra, and a lso played in the Concert Civic ! ymphony, a professional group. Martha's move to Omaha hasn't affected her interest in music. She plays the viola in Westside's orchestra, and is a member of the Omaha Youth Symphony. This fall, Martha attended music clinic in Columbus as a part of the orchestra. Z Club, Latin Club, International Club, and Pep Club fill Martha's spare time. Martha's hobbies include water skiing by the McGuire's cabin in Minnesota, sewing, cooking (I can testify to that), reading, and playing the piano. She has taken piaoo lessons for five years, took violin for four years, and has been taking viola lessons for the past three years. "More to do" Since experience is usually one of the best means of comparison, 1-.hrtha can do a good job of elaborating on W'estside' s finer points. "I like Westside very much," comme.n ted Martha. "You have good extracurricular act1v1t1es and very high academic standards." Martha says that there is really much more to do at Westside than there was at Fargo. She believes that the majority of teachers are "interested in the students and want you to learn something and get somewhere."
Art I n terest Andy Denes has spent the last four years at Westside studying art under Mr. Grizzell. That is not to say, however, that he hasn't been doing a variety of other things, too. Andy has been a member of the Varsity football team since his sophomore year, and has lettered as a halfback for three years. He was a Student Council member in his sophomore year and the treasurer of Ski Club in his junior year. He attended the Midwest Music and Art Camp before his junior year. Andy started his art "career" when he was five years old, drawing mostly war pictures. His real interest in art, however, began after his sophomore year. At that time, Mr. Grizzell started to help him out as a student with real talent. " Mr. Grizzell gave me a lot of constructive criticism and suggestions about what to read and look at to develop myself," Andy began, "and he has given me suggestions on what colleges to attend next year." Andy visited the Art Institute of Chicago during the summer and plans to attend it next year. After graduation, he wants to become a freelance artist, but as people don't live on paint alone, he may become a commercial artist. Andy was born in Munich, Germany, and came to America when he was two years old. His parents are Hungarian, and Andy speaks Hungarian quite a bit in his home. Another thing that may have been an influence upon his artistic interests was Andy's residence in Mexico City while he was in the sixth grade.

"The g reatness of our country is built on the fact that we have many groups here. Brotherhood is realizing our differences," sta teed Rabbi Larry Rubenstein. T hree speakers, R abbi Rubenstein, Father J ohn Ginsterblum, and R ev. Edward Stimson presented their feelings on brotherhood to the W estside student body, Monday, Feb. 14. Rabbi Rubenstein, the assistant at T emple Israel, went on to say tha t " brotherhood is unique in America. " However, we do not have an ideal concept of it yet. The contributions of Americans have made us great, but "not until we have the same ideals will we have brotherhood." Rev. Stimson, of Dundee Presbyterian Church, stated that "the belief in brotherhood is an abstract, lovely ideal." America is known as a melting pot, but it hasn't all melted yet. We are still plagued by traditional prejudices and unfair generalizations. " Brotherhood has to be taught, because we live in a world today whose philosophy seems to be to lie and steal." Father Ginsterblum, the Assistant Professor of Theology at Creighton, stated his belief that brotherhood is "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." He listed three affirmations of brotherhood present in our lifetimes: the Pope's Encyclical Letter which was accepted by all faiths, Pope Paul's address at the United Nations, and the late President Kennedy' s stand on Catholicism.

Hansen, Bowen Attend Brotherhood Breakfast By Steve Bowen O maha had its "Firs t Annual :M ayor's Prayer B rea k fa s t" T hu rsday, Feb. 17, a t 7 a.m. Wes tside Principal K enneth H ansen a nd junior journali st Steve Bowen were the W es tside rep resenta ti ves. Principals and journalism students from Om aha area schools were invited. T he breakfasts a re crea ted to inspire brotherhood a mong businessmen and government officials. A "Four-Way Test" of ethics was set, concer ning business tra nsactions and related subj ects. The four questions of the test are ( 1) Is it the truth? (2) Is it fair to all concerned? (3) Will it build goodwill and better friendships? ( 4 ) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Presiding Chairman was J. D. Anderson, President of Guarantee Mutual Life Co. and member of the Citizens Committee. The main speakers were Mr. Ulric Jelinek, President of Severna Manufacturing Co., and Mayor Sorenson. A prayer was offered by Dr. Edward W. Stimson, pastor of the Dundee Presbyterian Church. Mr. Jelinek and Mayor Sorenson both received standing ovations following their speeches. Mr. Jelinek discussed the relationship between science and religion, coming to the conclusion that all scientific discoveries prove that God exists. Present at the Prayer Breakfast were the O maha City Council, the Citizens Committee, the Council Bluffs Mayor, representatives of high school newspapers, their principals, and hundreds of Omaha businessmen.

Drill Squad Adds Color To Half Time Activities Drill Squad performed during half time at the game against Fremont, Tuesday, Feb. 22. Practices usually begin at 7 a .m. sharp. Late-comers are charged a 10 cent fine for being late. Routines consist of porn poms, straight drill, and flags. This year's fines went toward a breakfast for junior Janet Lefler, who moved recently.
Drill Squad's performances this year have been the result of the hard work and practice of the girls. Practices have been wellorganized, and the drill routines have been accurate and formal. Tryouts for the 1966-67 squad will be early in May before the cheerleading tryouts. Like this year, the squad will consist of junior and senior girls with four sophomore alternates.

Sophs Fall In Final Game The Sophomore basketball kids have finished the 65-66 season with five wins and six losses. Dale Bikin lead the free throw d epartment with 81 percent, while Mike Manning hit 47 percent on field goals. The most total points, and the highest scoring average went to Rick Mankameyer. Mankameyer hit 97 points for the team this year. Westside's sophomore team began the season with five straight wins, and it looked a~ if they we1路e going to have an uudefeated season. On Saturday, Jan . 22, the Warriors were dealt their first d efeat. The 66-44 loss to the Tech High Trojans however, was only the beginning. They lost the next six games. Although the sophomore's winning streak was broken, their d rive was not altered a t all. " ' HS met Abraham Lincoln, Saturday, Feb. 19, at A.L. The basketball youngsters fell ten points behind early in the first quarter. and it .looked as if the game
would progress as did their previous losses. In the second period of play Westside displayed much better ball control as they scored 11 points to A.L. 's 18. In the third quarter A.L. reall y jolted the Sophomores. They applied a press, and flood ed the margin to 19 points. The fourth period was a fine show of team spirit. The Sophs functioned as well as they had in any other game this season, and at one point tied their much taller opponents. The drive proved to be futile when the referee called back six Westside p oints, and the Warriors lost their final game 57-59.

Mr. Bob Rademaker, sophomore basketball coach, and his youngsters have played a great season. W estsiders should look to the future with high hope;; as these boys enter varsity rank .
Semifinals Raise Hopes These semifinal wins by Burdic and Bach, as well as wins by other Westside matmen, raised W arrior hopes of a top five finish in the Class A competition. However, Scottsbluff and Tech had different ideas. Scottsbluff's Ben Shaver pinned Burdic in a time of 5:06, and Tech's Clarence Whitner decisioned Bach, 4-0, to cop first place in the 120 lb. diVJSJon. In the Shaver-Burdic match, Burdic, behind most of the time in points, was finally pinned by a pressure hold applied to his head . The Whitner-Bach match, although not resulting in a pin for either contestant, did give a decision against Bach, who was unable to score a single point on his Tech High opponent. A complete list of Westside competitors is as follows: Friday's results: First Round- Junior Jim Joh nson defeated by Kurtz from Sidney, 4-0. 95 lb. division . Quarterfinals-Senior AI Bach pinned Bu rrows from Lincoln Southeast, 1:54. 120 lb. division.
Westside To Face Stiff District Test Westside has always had a rough road to the state tournament, and this year will be no exception. Westside is in the same district as Boystown, Tech, and Burke. Boystown and Tech have both beaten Westside before. The Warriors did even the score against Tech with a late season victory. Westside was seeded first and will meet Burke on Wednesday, March 2, at the Boystown field house. The winner of this game will play the winner of the March 1 game between Tech and Boystown . The game will be played Friday, March 4. Last year, Westside beat Bellevue and Benson, to go to state and capture third place after a one-point loss to M cCook. The two previous years Westside had to face Prep in the district and lost both times. One year Prep went on to become second in state, and the next year the Bluejays took state.

The trend in skits has not been to honor our teams, but to see which class can cut up the other classes the best. The team used to be happy to go along with the skits, but recently they have become disgusted and fed up. It all came to a climax when most of the student body were so disgusted with a skit that they walked out during the school song. Things should have been stopped long before this. I'm not blaming just one skit, but the trend in most of them. Let's all show school spirit, not class dissension, and honor our teams.

'Athlete of the Week' Two athletes have been chosen to receive this week's Athlete of the Week honors. They are sophomores Todd Smith and Steve George, both of whom are swimmers. Todd has earned this honor for taking state in diving for two consecutive years and for taking third in state this year in the 200yard medley. His contribution helped Westside tremendously in tying Lincoln Southeast for the state swimming championship, although Lincoln Southeast was favored by 12 points. If Todd weren't moving to Minneapolis this year, he would be favored to take state in diving for two more years. He was named to the All-American swimming team last year and should be again this year. Todd is also the Metro diving champion and the 200-yard medley champion. He likes other sports also and played Junior
Varsity football until he was mjured. Steve George was a double winner in the state meet. He won the 200 and 400-yard freestyle. He holds the best state times in the four freestyle events, but was allowed to enter only two events. Steve was also a double wmner in the Metro meet, which Westside won. He will be back next year with the majority of our swimming team, and the Warriors will be looking for a state title of their own. Honorable mention this week goes to the seven wrestlers who made it to the state finals. West· side had only three qualifiers last year and took fifth in state. With more wrestlers this year, they stand a good chance of taking state. Seven of the wrestlers took district and received byes in the first round.
Warriors' Machines The Warrior Machine for this week is th£ yellow Mustang with a black vmyl top whit:h belongs to Bob U rosevich. He sports spinner hubs on the. wheels for pure class. The car would be labeled by a popular singing group as a "Nogo show boat," because it is only a six cylinder. Bob has a chrome gearshift nob for his three-speed and a radio and heater. It has a white interior with black floor mats, a strong clutch, and bucket seats. Bob never beats his machine. Honorable mention this weP.k goes to another of Bob's cars, a
1963 Falcon Futura. This i:; al<o a six cylind er, but it is a fourspeed with full sincro-mesh. The Falcon has a brand new white paint job with a black interior. It has no hubbies anl brand new rear tires. His radio has both front and back speakers. If anyone is interested Ill-buying this car, g~t in touch with Bob. One 0£ the best drags of the year would be between these two cars. The Mustang is newer with a better-built engine, but the Fal· con is lighter and has a fourspeed.

Flexible Scheduling Argued The flexible scheduling used at Westside three weeks ago caused much controversy and many discusswns among students. When students were asked what they thought of the innovation, the Lance recei,·ed these responses: Linda Gilmore: "I believe in the possibilities of the flexible scheduling program. It is beneficial to both the student and teacher to use the extra amount of time for the varying periods. However, each period should be planned according to the allotted modules of t ime. "Yet I believe it must be de. veloped more extensively for effective use in Westside's curriculum. Five days of flexible programming is not enough time to allow either student or teacher the proper advantage of this progreSSl\·e inno,·at ion in scheduli~."
J ewel deFreese: "The shortened period was a nice change, but the long periods were wasted, because many times there wasn't a lecture or discussion group."
Polly Johnson: "Although it has its good points, it's not that easy, essential, or useful. Instead of regulating time on a wellpaced schedule, it throws the school into utter confusion."
La R ae K oppit : "The program should be continued. Although in my classes some time was wasted during the hou r and a half period, I think this was merely due to the experimental-type situation. If the plan were put on a permanent schedule, indivi dual classes would be arranged so to take advantage of the long periods for labs, panels, discussions, etc."
J oel Wiese : "It was all right if you like to have too much time for the work in one class and not enough time for the work in other classes." Steve K elley: "I think the flexible schedule is a very good id.ea, because it takes the monotony out of going to the same classes ev!!ry d ay. I t also makes it p ossible to cover a larger or more involved topic than is presently possible in one class period ."
Colleen M ager : "I think that . it could be used and make the routine a little more interesting if it would be a little better organized and everyone was aware of what was going on."
Friends, Romans, Countrymen Meet
Jim McShane : "They are great. They sa,·e teach ers more free time to help student who are in trouble."
Ned Whitesell: "During ninth grade I attended Hammond H igh School in Alexandria, Va. In this school a rotating schedule was used which caused the student to miss one class each day. This ga,·e students more time to prepare lessons and lightened the homework load. This system was often very confusing for teachers and students, but its merits outweighed its disadvantages. As for the flexible scheduling used three weeks ago, I don 't see the purpose."
Elaine R ichart: " I liked it very 111uch. Some days seem dull when classes are the same length all day. It was different and enjoyable to cut some classes short and be able to discuss points in another class longer. I think the program should be continued."
Terry Erikse n : "I thought the flexible schedule "vas too lengthy, and it is not fair to have you sit in one class for more than an hour. If you have to listen to the same subject for so long, you get bored and aren't as attentive to the teacher."
Steve Ya rbrough: "F lexible schedules are a necessity in today's world where fields of learning are constantly being broadened." Susan Petersen: " For those who have lab course it may ha,·e been helpful, but for me all the short hours were when I need ed long ones and vice versa."
By Ellen Wheeler All the senators were there in their stylish togas. The Sanitation Patrol of Rome was represented. Slaves were going fot three and four doll ars at the auction. No, thi · wasn't a highly-advertised sla,·e auction attended by wealthy senators. It was the Roman banquet attended by 33 Latin students. Mrs. George, Junior Classical League sponsor, thought the feast "was great." Mrs. Clare, Latin teacher, was also there. The banquet was held in the dining room of the Ranch Bowl. Slaves taking high prices were sophomore Cheryl Donnermeyer, $4.50, and senior Pennie Anderson, $3.35. Slave Penny was made to stand on a table and say "Two Bits" for the Sophomore Class by her master K ent Chamberlain. Although there was no planned amusement, junior Hale Aust presen ted a monologue. Sophomores were introduced. The victuals of the R omans (senators and slaves ) were fried chicken, french fries, and pie.

Senior Dramatists To Present 'Man Who Came To Dinner' Scenery is being nailed in place and props are stacking up as the rehearsals for the Senior Class Play grow in number and lengt.h. The play chosen for this year is a Moss Hart and George Kaufman comedy, "The Man Who Came · To Dinner." ·
In order to present the play most effectively, Mrs. Anna Clark, director, chose to extend the stage by use of platforms. Although it changes audience perspective somewhat, it facilitates the movement of Whiteside's wheelchair.
The three-act drama is set in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley of Mesalia, Ohio. The Stanleys, Mr. Stanley's sister Harriet, and the children, Richard and June, are hosts to Mr. Sheridan Whiteside, nationally known "critic, lecturer, wit, and radio orator.''
The production may be seen March 24, 25, 26 at 8 p.m. with a possibility of a March 28 matinee. Tickets may be obtained at the bookstore or at the door, at a cost of 50 cents for children and .$1 for adults. Tickets are free for those with activity tickets.
Mr. Whiteside became their guest after a fall on their front steps confined him to a wheelchair. His presumptuous manner and extravagant friends cause great disorder in the simple Stanley household.

Westside Salutes Mr. Jim Tangdall
;})ear {;Jilor j
"A top-rated athlete at Superior High School and Nebraska University, Mr. James Tangd all has come to Westside for his first year of teaching. Furthering his love of competitive .athletics, he serves as coach of golf and freshman sports." With this beginning recorded in the 1957 Shield, Mr. Jim TangClall has come to be one of the most well-loved and deeply respected members of the Westside faculty. In his ten years of coaching, Mr. Tangdall has shown the type of devotion which commands loyalty from team members and fa ns alike. Those of us who have been here since junior high can remember that '61-'62 season when the records showed 2-14. It takes an oustanding coach to change those statistics to 17-4 and earn ratings as high as we have this year. It is obvious to anyone who studies human emotion that coaches are the most concerned people at any game. Yet in all the games as others lose patience, yell at referees, or scream at their players, Mr. Tangdall maintains his self-control. Now with another season behind us, we pause to reflect, and we remem ber the handsome, well-dressed young man who always lost his voice but always made himself heard. THE LANCE STAFF

In an effort to continue the campaign for the forgotten obligations of respect, the lance wishes to point out another obvious abu se. It is possible for Westside students to see disrespect daily, hourly possi bly, if they watch the treatment of school property. There is hardly a desk or a chair which has escaped the destructive effects of pens, pencils, and fingernails. Book carriers underneath the seats have become footrests and are usually broken or covered with mud. The lower surfaces have become perfect storage places for used gum or dirty kleenex. Some seats have been transformed to "recliners" by bending the metal back supports. More obvious abuse is given to books. At the beginning of the year, instructors asked their students to cover their books for protection. Refusal to pay ten cents for a cover has resulted in damages sometimes equal to the original price of the book. In addition to cover de5truction, torn pages, notes in ink, and missing pages make study more difficult for future students and cut the life of the book severely. Even the most beautifully bound library books have come back in dog-eared condition. Whenever the label, "Property of District 66" appears directly or indirectly on anythinq we use, think of it as property of an individual who loans it for our own benefit in hopes that it will be treated with respect as it was given with trust.

Spring Brings Problein CoJninon to Job-Hunters Springtime is dra wing near and young men's fancies are turning toward track, baseball, cars, and parties at Ray's. Among the thoughts of summer, t~l rea dy beginning to penetrate the minds of young Warriors, comes a persistent and pressing problem, "W here am I going to get a job for the summer?" All too numerous are the volunteer jo bs which pay little or nothing. Most desira ble is a job which pa ys enough to I. cover a year's tuition at college, 2. meet the payments on a car, 3. buy a new fall wordrobe, or •· pay the rent on an apartment. In some cases, the kind of job one wants is automatically d etermined by his field of study. A student who plans to pursue a busihess career will find little t roubl e securing a position whic hinterests him, as well as prepares him for t he future. A musician or artist co uld
find a job instructing at a summer camp while an athlete might help with a summer recreational prog·ram, Many people, despera t e for a position, have resorted to somewhat unusual su mmer jobs. For example, Simmons College once placed a girl in a T.B. sanitarium~to count the number of coughs. Jobs specifying the need for pea pu sh ers , pebblers, pie-bottomers, orange washers , odd-shoe girls, tufters, and turkey scalders are not in great demand. However, don't wait too long to apply .•• In all seriousness, summer jo bs are extremely hard to find. Th is is especially true if the applicant is under e ighteen and plans to qu it after the first week of September. It is advisable to beg in looking now, not to get discouraged, and to take anything which is available.

CHS H·osts College Night by Mr. Karl Pecht Wednesday, March 16, is the date of the Omaha Central High School College Night. From 7:15 to 9:30p.m., students from Westside are invited to visit college representatives from over a hundred colleges. The College Night has become a tradition at Central, and representatives of colleges from all over the country will be present. It is a valuable opportunity for sophomores and juniors who are planning ahead. The University of Nebraska will present .two "shows," in the Central Auditorium. It will be possible to go to one of the Nebraska programs and still have time to make the rounds of the other colleges. · University of Nebraska faculty members will be from Arts and Sciences, Agriculture, Business Administration, Dentistry, Dental Hygiene, Engineering and Architecture, Home Economics, Jour-
nalism, Medical Technology, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Teachers College. Also pre• sent will be four officers from the various units of ROTC. Students wanting to find out about scholarships, loans, employment, and financial aid should hear Dr. Edward E. Lundak who directs that office at the Uni· versity. Parents as well as .students are invited to College Night.
Bulletin Board Added Westside has been graced with a new addition. It can be found in the upper hall behind the library in the form of a bulletin board. ' The board, financed by the Student Council and the Activity Fund, was the responsibility of junior council member, Jim Coe.

When announcers have passed these basic prerequisites, they are then taught one of three different deliverys: "young-energetic-fun," "country corn," or "sicky sweet." The first announcer is characterized by his sly remarks about what fabulous date he could be out on if he didn't have to come to the studio every night. These asides are thrown into his previously prepared "off the cuff" dialogue to show that he too is human (just in case there was any doubt),
The country boy announcer is usually characterized by a specific jargon all his own. The people listening in are no longer 'the audience' but all have been miraculously transformed into 'my friends'. In this particular instance, it doesn't matter if you can't tell time or do commercials. If, however, you have a nasal twang, you're in.

Jewel, Jer Contribute In Sports, Activities by Susan Kruse The tallest basketball player in Westside history and a member of the Varsity Cheerleading Squad who cheers his team on combine in this week's Senior Spotlight. Jewel deF reese and .l erry J ames have joined forces to ad,·ance the causes of Westside's ti nest basketball team. Active Jewel deFreese, a Westside cheerleader for the past two 'ears, was a cheerleader in Hastings before she moved to Omaha . She attended cheerleading camp in Oklahoma last summer and decided that "the experience is worth it, no matter what you Jl lace!" The squad placed first in rac h day's competition, until the final day when they placed second. After attending the camp, .lc"·el went to Church Camp in Hordville and then vacationed " ·ith her family in the Black 11ills. Jewel loves to camp out or oo almost anything that is in the lrast athletic. She is taking sen:n r girls' gym along with the enthusiastic few who think it neces,a ry to keep fit even when it isn't compulsory. Vice-president of the Senior C lass, president of Esquires, and president of her church youth ~ roup, Jewel has her share of leadership responsibilities. She is ;1 !so a two-year member of the 1c nnis team, a member of Pep Club, and a past member of YTeens, Latin C lub, Spanish Club, a nd International Club. R eading, 'ew ing, and playing tennis take up Jewel's spare time. Jewel has applied to Augustana College in Rock Island , Ill., and Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis. She has been accepted at Augustana, a school he chose because of its "student body." After graduating from college, J ewel would like to go into the field of political science or be a physical ed ucation teacher. Jewel appreciates the " relationship between the faculty and students at ·westside" and "the opportunities to advance in studies and extra-curricular activities that are presented." To Jewel, Mr. Nelson is a teacher who has been an influence in h~.r senior )'Car. He ha giYen her "a greater
appreciation of the ad\'antages and disadvantages of the American government." Jewel also has great respect for Miss Donaghue because of her "concern for the entire Westside student bod y." Tallest ! Jerry James is the head and shoulders that stand out above the crowd. Being that tall, he has made an excell ent rebounder and post-man for the Varsity basketball team.
The sophomore program follows the Nebraska Curriculum for English. The literature read concerns itself with the way in which man tends to conceive the world about him. The year's study is divided into three basic units: man's picture of nature, man's picture of society, and man 's picture of moral law. In the first unit man's picture of nature is dealt with as it appears m generally animistic works, in classical works, in Christian works, and in the works
of writers who write under the influence of the scientifi c re,·olution or of such writers as write in rebellion against it. The second unit, man's picture of society, presents a study of leadership in four different periods. In each period the students read a representative political thinker for the theory of leadership and a representative literary work in which the theory of leadership is applied . The works read here are Salisbury's T he Sta tesman's Book, The Song of R oland, M achiavelli's The Prince, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, selected letters of Thomas Jefferson, Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln, K enned y's Profiles in Courage, and Guareschi's The Little World of Don Camillo. This unit stresses the way in which literature reveals the ideals of its age, spe-
cifically the id eals of leadership The last unit, man's picture o moral law, deals with man's sep aration from God and from th good. It is taught in two phase! The literary works of the firs phase present the genuine ex pression of an often vulgarize, theme, the frustration and lone liness of the individual mind i1 the human condition. The liter ary works of the second phase en deavor to show something of ho\ the tragic writer treats the suf fering, isolation, and loneline which beset the tragic hero. tragic hero is not only an isola and suffering man, he is also erally the leader of a group. is a man who must discover place in nature, in society, and relationship to the laws of and man.

A member of the Student Council since his sophomore year, Jerry also belongs to Junior Red Cross, Interact, and is in the Senior Class Play. He is the president of his church youth group. Believe it or not, Jerry played Reserve football when he was a sophomore, but he must have grown some since then . Jerry likes to read almost anything, play ping-pong for coordination, play basketball, and visit cats named Bucky in his spare time. He attended basketball camp this summer with Jim Jansen, and gained experience from that activity. Nebraska Wesleyan or Parks College in Parksville, Mo., are Jerry's college choices. Both of these schools have good athletic teams, and J erry likes the campus of Parks College. After college, he would like to play pro or semi-pro basketball or go into a teaching career. English or math are the fields that Jerry would like to teach in, with the job of coaching basketball on the side. Jerry admires Westside kids, especially because they have shown him so much concern. When he was in the hospital three years ago, he received 500 cards from Westside students. Du ring his last stay there, he was visited many times. Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Nelson have given Jerry a lot of help during his senior year. Mrs. R ogers was Jerry's teacher when he was a freshman and is again his teacher this semester. "She really cares for her students,~ was Jerry's comment. Mr. Nelson "is different," according to Jerry. He keeps his classes interesting and exciting.

The ideal thing to do would be to have a Batman party and see which person can outdo the oth er. For those of you who are in-terested, they have Batman capes and masks for sale. I wonder w h a t t h e administration would do if some one came to school that way. Oh well-

Spring fashions have a light touch- the colors are mellow, the fabrics breezy, and the shapes soft or pared away. These ru les apply to dresses, suits, and especially to sportswear. Sportswear for spri ng is something new and refreshing. There is something for everyone. The wildest way to go man trapping is in the rust and yellow separates that can be mixed and matched. Bolero-type tops are in bold yellow or rust with yellow polka dots. The hip-bugger pants are the same as the tops and can be worn with either one. Another wild idea is the rust and gold checked skirt and gold ribbed sweater. The hip-huggers and ribbed sweaters are the most outstanding separates this sp ring. These separates strike forth with bold color and so will you. Fresh excitement is coming up. Another en·s emble serves up a taste of spring with a spirited coffee flavor. The pants are a finely-tailored, brown-belted pair for informal parties or for a bicycle built for two. A matching brown and white ticking stripe sweater goes along for the ride. To really get the total look, how about brown and white plaid sneakers and a coordinated plaid tote bag? You'll be ready for any sporting event in this outfit. Poorboys, plain and striped, alo!1g with belted hipsters, jams, drum dream skirts, and stove pipe pants, are the wildest creation in which any girl could dazzle that " Poor Boy." The Pales of pink, blue, and green team together in
sepa rates to give this new idea a wild start. Voile and poplin team together to give you that irresistibl e !()()k. You'll look and feel 'like a daisy in -the lime green and turquoise ensemble. The voile top has cut out flowers all down the long sleeves. The blue pants a re tapered. The way to play your game and have him want to join in too is to wear the smashing slacksuit. The slim slacks and blazer are of cotton plaid poplin. T he sh irt is a cotton knit with plaid piping around the neck and sleeves. Bermudas, shirts. and skirts can also be bought in this suit game. Another sassy little suit number is the pink and white checked denim sui t. The double-breasted jacket, poor boy sweater, and bell bottom slacks reall y turn on the charm. The only way to describe the new spring sportswear is wild , wonderful, wacky, d e m u r e, poised, and way ahead.

District Tough for WHS ·w arrior gymnasts placed third in the district contest held Saturday, Feb. 26, at Westside. Creighton Prep was crowned district champion with 62Y2 points, and South High finished second with 39~ points. The '1\'arriors scored a hard-earned 28 Y2 points to squeeze into third place. Fourth place went to North, 15, fifth place to Bellevue, SY2, and T ech fini shed last with only three points. Seniors Carl Troia and John Moore grabbed firsts in tumbling and on the trampoline. Troia, a transfer from C reighton Prep, gave a flawless tumbling performance, winning his title.
He also added team points by tying Prepster Jack Garvey for third place in the floor exercise. Moore captured the number one position on the trampoline, while his teammate Tim Herrick finished second in that event. On the side horse, Westsider Stuart Jones tied John Car of North for third place, and Steve Capocia of Westside gained fifth place on the horizontal bar to complete the Warrior's point total. The W -a r r i o r gymnasts, coached by Mr. Bob Moscrey, completed their season with only a few wins, but Westside has been well-represented.

They employed a full-court press early in the fourth quarter. Dennis Humphrey, 6'2" center, and 5' 1OH guard Jim Musil added to the Pop Top's press by scoring eight points each.

With the ending of the basketball, swimming, wrestling, and gymnastics seasons, spring sportsters have begun to workout for their favorite athletic contests. Mr. Bill Hoyt, varsity track coach, has kept his boys busy in the annex for the past few week . The cindermen had a somewhat disappointing season last year, but they stand to gain prestige in the coming meets. Westside's golfers finished their season last year with a second straight Metropolitan Conferen ce Championship. Senior Larry Hamer should help to boost the team to another championship. Hamer finished third in M etro last year. Rich Young, Nebraska tennis champion, is looking for another state title this year. Young d efeated two year champion Jerr y Soboczek in last year's finals . Seniors Phil Blum and J eff Gaillard are also strong hopes for court contests. Along with the rest of the anticipating spring athletes, the baseballers have started to improve their swings and throwing accuracy. Westside had a great '65 season, and with its returning lettermen has a fine chance for a state title. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the Winter sports, bu.t along with them, track, tenni s, golf, and baseball are equally important. They require the same amount of practicing and deserve an outstanding show of support. With some luck and team support, Westside will round off its 1965-'66 season with the best sports year ever.

Westside had a fine basketball team this year. Although they didn't make it to state, everyone at Westside can be proud of them. They lost to Boystown in the district, and Boystown has a good team. If they play like they did against Westside, they should have no problem taking state.

This is 10wn by his desire in other Jorts. Mike was voted an all:ate football team member. He as played football for four years nd hopes to continue in college.
During the spring and summer, Mike is found working out with the track team. He believes in always keeping in shape. Honorable mention this week also goes to a wrestler, Al Bach. Al also took second place in the state meet in his weight division and was a consistant winner all year. Al plays quarterback on the football team and is a member of the track team. There have been requests to know liow the Athlete of the Week is chosen, so I will take time here to do so. The Athlete of the Week is the athlete who contributes, or tries the hardest to contribute, to Westside athletics each issue of the Lance. It is always hard to choose, because all athletes are always giving their hardest. This is one reason why no athlete usually becomes Athlete of the Week more than once.

After losing our three top scorers last year, many people felt that this year would be a mediocre season, but not so. The team gave all they had all year, and that is what can account for the year's success. Westside does lose nine players from this year's team, including the top seven players. Many of you feel that because of this, we are doomed to have a poor season next year. May I remind you that other teams graduate also. Benson loses all of its team. Boystown loses its top five, etc. Westside does have three good players with which to build a new team next year. Terry Johnston and Bob Brown will be battling the boards for us all season long, and Guy Ingles will be. taking over the role at guard. With these boys and· others coming up from the R eserves, Westside will be battling: for the title again.• Baseball and track seasons are almost upon us, and outlooks in both sports are good. Westside has most of its basebaU team back and will be a strong contender for the state title. They lost two pitchers, but still have a good team. The boys out for track will find it a little bit rougher going, but they will be favored to win their district and go to state. Westside will be strong in the sprinting department and should take the two-mile relay again. Good luck to both sports. Last week the skiing trip was once again cancelled because of the hot weather. Over the weekend the skiers were able to see plenty of snow, but the only problem was that it blew right through the state to Iowa. Better luck next year. The last pep rally Westside had was one of the best ones all year. It showed school spiritcongratulations.

Boystown Drops Westside; Warriors End 17-4 Season Westside Warriors lost to last year's state champions, Boystown, in the finals of their district, after beating Burk-e High in the semifinals. The Warriors applied different tactics after losing to Boystown two weeks earlier, 62-4t Westside tried shooting more from the outside, but the shots just wouldn't fall. They were able to tie Boystown at the quarter, 1010. The Warriors spurted to an early six-point lead in the second quarter, but Boystown came back to take a 28-25 half time lead. Many baskets were the results of tap ins, although B o y s t o w n played without 6'8" Jim Hester. The third quarter once again proved-to be the Warriors' downfall, as Boystown built up a commanding lead. At one point, Boystown was leading by 20 points, but Westside put on a press of their own and cut the lead to 12 points. Boystown finally won, 68-56. Earlier in the week, Westside met Burke fligh in the first game
of tte district. The- Warriors scored more than twenty. points in each quar.ter, as they easily beat Burke, S.J-49-. The Warriors scoring- was balanced; with Di-ck Tharp, scor.ing 22 points. Coaeh T an g d.a II cleared the bench in the last quarter and the.y scored more than twenty points. Bob Urosevich and Guy Ingles each had 6 points in the last quarter. The loss to Boystown ended the season on a bad note, but no matter how you look at it, it was a successful season. The Warriors travelled. to Hastings and Columbus and had victories there to start off the season. They then met Bishop R yan at home and won 60-40. The Warriors met a hot shooting Lincoln team in Lincoln and lost their first game of the season. The Warriors then beat Abraham Lincoln to warm up for the Holiday Tournament. The Warriors took third in the tournament, beating Prep by 10 points, losing to Tech, and then beating North. The Victory over North started a ten game winning streak that included: Central, Burke, North, Beatrice, Prep, South, Benson, Bellevue, and Tech, before a loss to Boystown.

Rivalries Help Pro111ote Best of School Spirit by Scott Hinckley It is once again time for tate tournaments. and school rivalries ha,·e reached their peak. Part of eYery season is seeing who can pull the bigge t pranks on other schools. Westside has had its goalposts painted, and the "·alks leading to the side entrance and the walls have had huge blue feet painted on them. The ticket shack was even painted. That was one of the best pranks, because Westsiders were blamed. A certain school in Omaha had a '·W" burned into the front lawn with bleach and once a whole statue was e,·en painted. The d<Jors and tennis courts were painted, and a dead blue chicken once greeted the student body as it came to school in the morning. School rivalries are all over the nation and include colleges al so. A outhern college once had its pet mascot steer killed and eaten bv a ri,·al school. Two schools pla~· ed each other 111 a basketball game, and the

final score was 9-8. Both teams planned to stall the game, so that is what happened. There were many turnovers in the game, but neither team would shoot. After this game, they decided not to play each other again. Pulling pranks is not the only thing that occurs. Pictures of other teams' mascots are often painted on the floors, and it is up to the student body to scrape them off with their shoes. When pep rallies make a laughing stock of the other school, team spirit is at its height. Between rivals, neither is ever favored , no matter how good it it. Both teams are always up for the game, and more upsets take place during this type of game. Where football rivalries are concerned, the worst possible thing can happen. After weeks of doing everything possible to crow on the other school and pulling the meanest pranks, and of having them do the same. the two teams tie.

These courses are not a part of the Nebraska Curriculum for English, but each one builds upon what is taught in the literature_, language, and composition of grades ten · and eleven. Composition, Seminar, and Modern Literature are comparatively new courses. Each has beeri introduced within the last five years. World Literature, too, is comparatively new. These senior courses are the exception rather than the rule as far as high schools go. Westside is the only school in Nebraska which offers such a program to seniors and it is one of a very few in the nation which do. The semester course offerings of the junior and senior years make it possible for students interested in the humanities to take nine or ten semesters of English during high school rather than the required eight. This English curriculum can best be described as college preparatory-with 90 per cent of Westside's graduates enrolling in college and 80 per cent remaining in college for four years, the English curriculum should be and will remain college preparatory.

St. Patrick's Day 'Festivities' Typical For 'Spirited' Ireland By Lorna
J.
Love
Saint Patrick's Day has become a well-liked holiday in America, but from its origin in the green isle, Ireland, March 17 has been the day on which the Irish commemorate their great national saint who died at Saul (Sabhal ) , County Down, in 493 at the patriarchal age of 10?. He was buried at the chieftain's dun, or fort, two miles outside the town. From all parts, it is recorded, bishops, priests, and townspeople gathered round his tomb to honor the venerable father of their faith. For over 14 centuries, this same spirit of reverencing the memory of Patrick has survived in the hearts of Irish men and Irish women in every part of the world. In fact, it is so well-remembered that many stories of fun and games have been attached to the holiday. The Irish distaste for drinking in the quiet of the home used to make the annual St. Patrick's Day dog show in Dublin one of the year's most popular sporting events. Until the law was
changed a few years ago, pubs were closed on St. Patrick's Day but one bar at the dog show was allowed to stay open during that event. Consequently, the show was stormed by crowds of nondog lovers, but then, it was a ll in the holiday spirit- you should excuse the pun. Not all Irishmen feel so wellinclined toward St. Patrick' s Day, however. From history, it would seem that ·n othing in Ireland is non-controversial, and it is also true for this holiday.
Th e exact opposite of St. Pat· rick's Day in "Green Ireland" is the Orangeman's Day celebrated by Northern Ireland inhabitants When March 17 comes each year, all Northern Irish stubbornly wave orange banners and enjoy a long standing rivalry between the green and the orange. Be listen· ing. Even after all these years, you will most likely hear the now-famous cry "Up with the Orange," shortly followed by a dull thud which is a 'green' shilalah being applied to the skin of the Orangeman.

The sweet but dissonant sounds of choir boys waft across the stage, while the "charming'' Sh eridan Whiteside (Jeff Meyers ) announces to his listeners, "This is Whiteside speaking on .this eve of e~es, when my own heart is overflowing with peace and kindness. I think it might be fitting to tell first again the story of that still and lu strous night, nigh unto 2,000 years ago. " Suddenly this delightful scene is interrupted by the frantic screams of a distraught nurse, "A penguin bit me!!"

Concert Choir Presents 'Our Miss Brooks' Concert Choir will present their second annual musical " O ur Miss Brooks," Friday, April 1, during fifth and sixth hours. Students may purchase tickets for the matinee during the week before the show for twenty-five cents. The leading characters in the performance are: Miss Brooks, Ann Wallin; Ted Wilder, Jim Dinwoodie; Coach Hugo Longacre, Lyle Swenson; Mrs. Allen, president of the school board, Lorna Love; Rhonda Allen, Tammy Hinders ; and Principal Wadsworth, Quyn Epperson. The leads and understudies have been rehearsing the show in class, after school, and in the evenings. The production is under the direction of Mr. William Kellogg and the accompaniment of Mrs. Kellogg. Mr. Kenneth Ploss has been doing the choreography for some of the songs during the Concert Choir classes and at the eyening rehearsals.
Although the students in the show have been giving up a few hours of homework for those rehearsals, they all agree that "rehearsals are · a lot of fun." For example, there is the result of misinterpreting ( ?) stage directions. At one point the cast was told that they should act excited at the point in the play where they are told that one of their friends had just been rushed to the hospital in time with appendicitis. From the back of the stage came a somewhat excited, "Yippee!" The musical wi ll be presented for the public on Monday, March

Where the Students Are by
1\fr . R. St einke Counselor
Why do students wait for passes from the counselor before they come to see him ? Why don't more students come t o the Guidance Office on their own initiative? Do students know that the study hall teacher and supervisor will give them passes to see their counselor if students ask for one? Where are the students?
Spring Fever Hits Westside Winter has come and gone for students at Westside High School and spring has arrived to take its place. Accompanying the fresh , new atmosphere comes the student, Mr. Spring Fever, who forgets that he has twelve weeks of school left. Mr. Spring Fever assumes that his work is done for the school year and he intends to just sit back and wait for summer vacation to begin. He spends most of his time daydreaming in class about his car, his girl, or his vacation plans. Mr. Spring Fever is unresponsive when called upon in class and can be caught doodling at any time. Unexpectedly when he is given a test, Mr. Spring Fever does poorly and yet he makes no plans to improve his grade. His only comment is, "What difference can one test grade make?" If Mr. Spring Fever would check with his teacher, he would be surprised to find six more tests scheduled before the course was complete. Along with Mr. Spring Fever's outstanding study habits, a slight restlessness is evident. When 3:00 p.m. arrives, he is not only the firs t student to his car, but the first student to drive out of the parkin g lot. Mr. Spring Fever certainly is impressive os he turns the corner on two wheels. With Mr. Spring Fever driving towards his home, the rest of the conscientious students at Westside High Schoo l can sigh with relief and be glad that there is only one such person in the school. Or can we be relieved? Let us examine ourselves to see whether any of the characteristics of Mr. Spring Fever can be found in us. Janet Christensen
Are You AHigh School 'Dropout?' " It doesn't matter." "I 'll do it later." Those two statemenfs are probably the most frequently uttered words of a typical student about anythi ng that concerns school in the spring. Some students prefer to follow the first statement. They blissfully drop courses , ignore homework, and "enjoy" themselves. They, and this particularly applies to upperclassmen, never stop to realize that the final grade they receive for a course is just as important as their semester grade. After all, colleges don 't stop to consider that the reason a student received a low grade on a course was because it was spring. These students also cheerfully drop out of the clubs they so loyally joined in t he fall. They decide that as long as they joined, paid the ir dues, and are therefore "members" of a club, no one will ever know if t hey stop attending meetings and working on projects. The only reason they joined the club in t he first place was because they knew that colleges look to see if a student joined clubs and participated in other extra-curricular activities. Then there are the students who will "do it later." They are fully aware of the fact that they have three term papers, and a book report due, not to mention assorted tests, but they confidently announce that they will study later. They are probably better off th an the previous group; they know that school is very important, but thei r problem is that they decide that the things they would rather do are more important than school. But soon they come to the same tragic downfall by not studying until the last minute and getting poor grades. Colleges are wary of the student who does excellent work the first semester and poor work the next. That student is likely to have the same problem in college, and tho ugh he may be considered by a college, there will be many students who will appE?ar t o be more promising. O nly when that student is rejected by the college of his choice wi ll he realize that his whole future depended on t he work he did in hig h school. Hopefully, those two types of students are the exception and not the rule at Westside. Those "students" will find that, as Shakespeare once said, "Truth will come to light . •. in the end truth will
out." Dee Eaton
Some exciting things can happen in counseling and guidance if students will assume some responsibility for using their counselor. I have suggested to several students this year that some types of counseling can be done in small groups of 6- 7 or 8 students or less. If several students wish to discuss some common concern or ideas as a group with a counselor present-let your counselor know and he will arrange this. Juniors and Seniors have opportunities available in the areas of vocational appraisal and exploration which are excellent. Westside now has a set of the Strong Vocational Interest Blanks available for mature Seniors and Juniors. This is one of the best vocational inventories and may be taken for a cost of $1.25 to cover scoring and handling expenses. Again, if you are interested, ask your counselor about arranging to take this Inventory. College: Research - StudyDiscussion and Visitation Plans are Sophomore and Junior opportunities through counseling and guidance this time of year. College is a planned affairWestside has a good collection of reference materials available to students, these may be found in the library and across the hall in the room between Mr. Pecht's and Mr. Koch's office. These materials belong to all students in the school and may be used by them. If you want help ask your counselor for it. The list of opportunities and types of activities available to students could go on and on. Students-can you explain why you don't take more initiative in using your counselor and the services he can provide? If anyone has ideas or suggestions to offer, which would help the counselor getting to students-Where the Students are-stop by the Guidance Office, Room 214, and share them with us. The greater your obligations, the more you can do.
Letters To The EditoJ Departments Receive Commendation
Dear Editor: How many students at Westside truly appreciate the Englisl partment? I am a junior and have always liked English-this y. not an exception. So far, I have not had enough experience English L iterature to comment on it, but I found American 1 ature one of the most interesting courses I have ever taken. I'll < that Emerson, Thoreau, and W hitman thoroughly lost me at but by the end of the semester I could almost give a definiti1 T ranscendentalism and really understand it. Also, I think that ing works by T. S. Eliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and others gave great insight into modern society and its problems. I will nev( how anyone can say th at English is " dull." A JunioJ
Dear Editor: I believe the library and its staff is one of the most worth departments in the school. The librarians are willing and eag help any student asking for it. Anyone can walk through the doors with a blank mind and e a rms and walk out with a mind full of answers and arms full of b Often the student that speaks of the library with disgu the one who used the library as a time saving cut through jar halls, or perhaps the one who owes 40¢ on an overdue book. Thanks to the library for all its help from every student tha used its services. An Appreciative Studen' Dear Editor: I would like to commend the History Department at WH including a course on the history of Russia. Mr. Paul Andrea structor of the subject, deserves credit for being one of the fe· dividuals that teaches it in· the United States. I am taking this course at the present time. Since Rus the number one competitor with the United States, I feel it is r sary to have general knowledge of the country and its history. I would recommend every student to take advantage oJ wonderful opportunity to learn about Russia and its people. History-Minded JunioJ
Cafeteria Collects Comments Dear Editor~ This has probably been said before, but I'm sure somethin1 be done about the cafeteria. No one likes to sit at a table when set your arm down and you get milk or salad on your sleeve. I someone wipe off the tables before the next lunch shift? Also we have hot dogs or hamburgers, the mustard bottles always to be empty and you spend two or three minutes finding one isn't. Can't they be filled and placed at every table? . Dirty Table: Dear Editor: Westside's cafeteria is excellent. Most of the meals prepared are balanced and appetizing an students are lucky enough to be able to purchase fruit, desserts, other extras for little cost. I speak from experience for although I came from a ~chool many good qualities, its cafeteria wasn't one of them. Westside students are lucky that they don't have to bring own lunch everyday.
Complaints About Complaints???
Dear Editor: I'd like to write this letter in complaint of all past compla letters. Sure, we're not allowed knives in the cafeteria, and the only two windows open at the ice cream counter for ice crea1 course we all lack privileges especially seniors, there's no school s we have to read terrible books in English, the decor (paint) o building is wrong, the halls are crowded, there are not enough vocations, and the fountains are dirty. Can you think of a w< please everyone ? I s there really anywhere you'd rather go? "Satisfied"

Alumni Aid Guidance Dept. Can this school be of further ice to you?" "If you could eat your high school education y and be free to choose any d of information, training, or ~ect ... what would you like tudy ?" These and other ques1S are being asked on a q uesnnaire that has been sent to :st·ide alumni from the classe '65, '63, and '61. fhe purpose of this survey, ich is being conducted by the dance department, is " . . . to . evaluate and improve upon overall program at Westside, cially the courses offered and guidance services available." e service evolved from the inests of Mr. Steinke, Mr. Han-
sen, and Mr. Phelps in what happens to the W estsider after he graduates. Several trends have been revealed by the twenty per cent of the survey that has been received so far. The girl graduates have developed more of an appreciation of WHS business courses. Looking back, they are especially interested in typing, book-keeping, home economics, and art. Another tendency of girl graduates is to spend 1, 2, or 3 years in college, marry, and then work full-time. When the rest of the quest ionnaires are in, the guidance department hopes to draw up pred iction charts based on the per-
formances of the alumni according to their various board scores and class rankings . Surveys similar to this one ha\"e been conducted by Bellevue, Ralston, Papillion, and Gretna high schools. Westside also has run a survey prior to this one. Taken by seniors and sophomores, its purpose was to determine the vocational and technical interests of students in and after school. This year, four more business courses are being offered, including second year shorthand. Around June first, the results of the follow-up study will be avai lable. They wil l be submitted to the Administration and the Board of Education and released to the press.

Student Builds Laser "It can drill holes in razor blades and pop balloons," jokingly remarked Dick Jones, ophomore physic student. Dick was speaking of the small laser beam which he has just completed building. "The initial power is 2000 volts direct current which ignites the trigger circuit of 15,000 volts (seven times t he amount of voltage in an electric chair) which supplies the power to the flash tube, which produces a light that is reflected on foil to the ruby rod, which excites the atoms that give off their own light. This is a laser beam."

Debaters Lose by One One point can seem as big as a million, if you don't believe it, just ask John Williams or Jeff Miller. In a recent Novice Debate Tournament at Lincoln Northeast, John and Jeff were debating a highly rated Benson team in the final round. Previous to this time they had won their first three contests. In this round, however, the score was tied at the end of the debate. The judge then miscued in giving the win to the affirmative Benson team. (In" case of a tie, the win is supposed to go to the negative.) When~ res).llts were posted it was found that another Westside team of Tim · Fiied and Dwight · Johnson had gone 4-0. Thus, if the .team of Miller and Williams had won, Westside would have claimed first on the highest total speaker points. As it was, they finished eighth.
Other Westside teams participating were: Steve Grundy and Ernie Evans who also finished with three wins and one loss; and that brilliant team of Lynette Dixon and Janet Dauffenbach who notched a record of no wins and four losses. The Benson Tournament is coming up and Coach Hansen intends to enter six teams. Among those chosen is the team of Sam Bonacorso and Tom Barton. The former boasts Westside's longest winning streak, having gone undefeated in· the la st nine starts, including a second place finish at Central . High School and collaborating with Tom for a first place finish at the University of Santa Barbara. Sue Wurl and Warren Whitted placed second at this tournament.

After conducti ng a very scienic survey on a vital issue of to' I have come to some rather usual conclusions. The quesn asked of students and teach! was "What are you going to ss the most over spring vation ?" The first reaction I usuall y got ts a definite blank stare fol ed by definitely brilliant ans!rs. From· 20% of the people ·ed the answer I received was rather hysterical 'Nothing! ' · e tone of voice with which this s said was sometimes· with sad spair and sometimes with refllious joy. .Either way it might em to be indicative of the poparity of this million-dollar initution. lA similar response came from >% of the people. The look on teir faces was one of bewilderlent as they tried to think of 1mething they might miss over 1e long recess. They said they fanted to think it over. This lso seems representative of a certin attitude.
T here was also class distinctions in the answers. Three-fourths of the seniors asked turned around and walked away. Could they possibly need the vacation worse than the underclassmen ? There seemed to be a trend in the answers of the faculty members. They all told of certain classes they would miss. Mr. Miller will miss h~ s 4th hour and lunch ; Mr. M cConnick his sixth hour study hall. Mr. . Wisnieski couldn't give a straight answer but he thought he might miss his sleep. · Mrs. Limbaugh w;ts sure she'd miss h er first four hours. Miss Peterson, studept teacher, said she'd probably miss Westside. There are two qu~sti:ons that cannot be answered. Will Dave Wilkie, L arry Keating, Dave Morgan, Tom Findlay, D ave Turnquist, really miss school? And will Gary Peterson, Dave W i 1 k i e, Harriet Willoughby, Mary Lou Egbert, Jewell deFreese, miss the school lunches? These people really do need a vacation!
:Plans Made for Fair Westside will be represented at he Science Fair to be held at )maha University on Saturday, lpril 16. Displayed in the Uni·ersity Fieldhouse will be exJibits and projects made by stutents from all over Omaha who .re interested in science. "There will be about ten stulents from Westside presenting heir projects and papers," stated vir. Harley Hardison of the Sci!nce Department. According to Science Club President, Mark Snyder, the projects this year will be very in:eresting and informative. Tom fohnson is making a Xerox copier ~nd Ray Moulis and Rich Hoyt are working on an expansion type cloud chamber. Responses of protozoa to stimuli are being observed by Mike Gendler.

Small boys on ska teboards swoop down sidewalks wearing dark-grey capes. Parents and sociologists spend hours in front of their TV sets trying to deduce what on earth anyone sees inBatman. Springing from the fertile field of comic book adventurers, the caped crusader is the embodiment of the pop superhero. Tall, lapping over his utility belt, he stands flatfooted on morality, patriotism, and integrity. He manages to combine, simultaneously, high idealism and utter moronity. Once, in a noble attempt to capture the Madhatter, Batman turned to the batcomputer to inquire what comes in dozens. The crusty machine acidly ticked out that anything that comes in twelves comes in dozens, leaving Robin to exclaim, '·Holy donuts, it's right!" Such inanity leaves one quivering in hilarity or absolutely cold. Article upon a r t i cl e has been written delving into the social significance of B a t m a n -what far-reaching effects his serial will have on impressionable young minds and the decadence of the American culture as revealed by his viewers. Each piece trys to analyze the humor of Batman and each fails, perh aps because, as it has been suggested, the dissection of humor and a frog are similar-by the time the dissection is completed, both are dead.
Each person is like a nail; You must point him in the right direction, drive him hard, and he will go as far as his head will allow.

areas are needed to translate and transmit the field of human sciences to the public. The Westsiders met with students from many other schools around the Omaha area. They attended briefing sessions, and separate science and journalism panel discussions. Touring the Institute, the students were able to see the many areas where jobs are open for interested persons. The facilities seen included the Social Service division, which operates mainly in the community; the Occupational and Recreational Therapy areas; the Metabolism Ward, the Cycogenetics and Biochemistry labs where research is being done into the causes of mental illness; the Mental Retardation Clinic, the Children 's Ward, the Special Education, and the Communicati\·e Disorders areas; and the Communications and M edical R ecords rooms.
Becky Burling, senior, is in the process of completing a history project begun last year for Mr. Miller's history room . In the second quarter of Becky's junior year, she began drawing portraits of the Presidents as an extracred it project. Fifteen drawings were completed then, and as a proj ect of "personal satisfaction" Becky is drawing the others in her spare time, although she does not take a history course this year, and will receive no credit. The portraits are done in charcoal and sometimes p encil sketching is added. They vary in size, generally 4" by 6"', white on black.

Spring has come to settle down e light winter which the stuents at Westside enjoyed for bout two months. Most stuents feel that spring brings good ather, more enjoyable nights the drive-in, and hard yard ork. Some students think that estside has completed its sports hedule for the year. They are r.roud of the fine showing by ~he football and basketball teams. ~he unheard of sports such as folf, baseball, and tennis go unnoticed. The importance of these rports are not shown by the needed enthusiasm of the student. Participation is needed in any sport and the better showing of spirit enhances the teams as a whole to work twice as hard. The teams realize and appreciate the appearance of the students at each game, meet, and match.

Coach Tangdall's golf team this year is young with only on.e returning letterman. Larry Hamer, a four year letterman, qualified for the nationals last year but was unable to go. Mr. Tangall is expecting fifty to sixty boys to tly out and he will only keep ten or twelve. Coach Tangdall reveals his hopes in the sophomores who swing a mighty mean club. Mr. Bob Rademacher, the tennis coach, started working his boys last week. He looks forward to a successful season with the help of four returning lettermen, Phil Blum, Jeff Gaillard, Randy Nogel, and Woody Vosburg. Coach Rademacher has thirty boys out for the team with only fifteen eventually going to make it. Mr. Rademacher is developing the boys both in the gym and on the court. Baseball begins its season with seventy-five to eighty boys trying out for positions. The varsity baseball team will have approximately sixteen players on it. The team will consist of sophomores, juniors and seniors. H elp will be contributed by six returning lettermen, Dick T h a r p, Rusty Welch, Mark Jensen, Steve H artung, Bob U rosevich, and Roger Herring. The team p assed district by beating Benson and losing to R yan in the state games ast year.

The girls will be swinuning after Spring Vacation. April 16 the club will hold its annual campout at Camp Brewster. Donna Slatin captains the Holy Basketball team . Dale Smith, Mary Ellen Kinnally, Linda Schat, Dee West, Pat Miller, Linda Liston, Val McKinnon, Carol Petersen, Barb Skrable, Sherry Wilson, and Maggie Fritz are team members.
Robin Hoods Hit WHS Is that Robin Hood and Friar Tuck in yon Sherwood Forest? Hey!! Wait a minute! Since when does Robin Hood have a fiberglass bow? Robin Hoods seen at Westside High School are girls of the physical education classes who have started a new six week archery unit. The students seem to enjoy the sport because for most of them it is a new experience.
After opening the door and your imagination too, a picture comes into view of a blue interior with no floor, a piece of sheet metal to cover up the transmission, a glove compartment missing, and a weak clutch. This car does have a radio and it does work, but only when the car makes a right turn. Denny doesn't worry about heat because his transmission keeps him warm. Stepping or climbing out of the car the realization comes about that Denny has only one
windshield wiper. The chrome has either been stripped or knocked off to enhance his elimination time trials in the school parking lot. The added power needed to get off the line quickly is no problem for Denny because he has painted his left front wheel gold to add twenty hor es to his already mighty engine. M<>ving to the rear it is no路 tied that his brake lights are not in working order but he com路 pensates for this by having his turn signals checked every six months. Looking under the hood you find a new battery and valve cover gasket. D enny has a '66 M ustang convertible which he uses on date , so girls, if .!_t.s,~ ks you out) _9on't panic.

Spanish Leads Students Down Interesting Path An introductory course for a language can be new and challenging, or it can be plain drudgery. Sixth-hour Spanish students this year have found their firstyear studies to be an interesting path on the journey of lea rning. The ingenuity of Mi ss Graciela Canto and the equ ipment of the language d epartment have been responsible for keeping th e Spanish-speaking aspira nt. out of the pitfall of indifference. Instead of simply having class recitation. as many teachers do, Miss Canto asks questions concern ing the matter being studied, and has the students participate in actual con versation . Short dai ly quizzes and speeches at the end of each
WHS Junior Girls Travel Overseas
{
France, Sweden, boats, and planes seem to be foremost in the minds of several WHS students this year. Warriors going to Europe on student tours include Jan Orth, Linda Gilmore, Val M cKinnon , and Stephanie Lincoln. Linda and Jan are going on "An Experiment in International Living. " They will stay in their country (Sweden for Jan and Germany for Linda) for eight weeks. There are six Omaha students going on this tour. There will be ten Americans to a town where they will stay with separate families. At the end of their stay they will be able to go to a European capital before they return home at the end of Augu st. Val will leave June 20 and will tour the major part of Europe for 43 days. She will be going with the Student TraYel Overseas Program (S.T.O.P.) . Her first stop will be in England and from there will go to Holland, Berlin, West Germany, Austr ia, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. Travel will be made by steamers, train, bus, plane, and subway and they will visit such places as Hofbrauhaus (a beer garden in Germany ), a resort, a hit play in London, a bullfight in Spain. and the French RiYiera. Stephanie will be studying in France with a group of girl from Sioux City. Iowa. In her sixweek stay she will a lso ,·isit It a !~ · and S"·itzcrland.
chapter keep the class on the right road. The speeches are a good example of how Miss Canto makes the work interesting. She allows the students to use their originality in deciding what they will talk on . A trip to the language lab also holds the attention of the sixthhour class. It offers the student a chance to tak e a major step forward by privately working on his own pronunciation. The class also has its lighter moments. A pre-Christmas party gave the stud ents an early start on their vacation. Also, visits by Pete the rabbit are regular highlights.
Confusion Is . . . Confusion has alway played a big part in the running of a high school. However, it reigns supreme in Room 145, when Junior journalists are putting out the cub edition of the LANCE . Cries of "Where did the story go for page three?" are answered with, "Oh, I thought it was fini shed, so I sent it down to the printer's!" This has happened only once before this year, and you are now reading the second attempt at the Junior journalists' cub edition.
By Mike McNabb If a common denominator could be applied to Omaha teenagers, that denominator would be radio station KOIL. It might be interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes and find out j ust what makes up KOIL. For this reason Bob Benson, K O IL's news director was interviewed. An interesting person to interview, Mr. Benson was very direct and frank with his replies. H e came right to the point and said that the format of programming at KOIL is designed to appeal to a wide range of listeners. Through its blend of news, music, and contests, KOIL tends to stay away from block programming, that which would appeal to just a particular group. Its public image is a major concern for a radio station. Mr. Benson said that the "promotional end of the station is very large." He noted that the discjockeys keep in touch with their listening audience by " keeping on top of everything that's happening" and through their man y personal appearances in this area.
Like any organization, KOIL tries to be the best in its field. The station's news director said that a feeling among the men working at KOIL is that "nobody said it was impossible, so you might do it." In connection with this feeling of pride in one's organization, Mr. Benson stated that " radio announcers realize that they have a responsibility to the community." Mr. Benson mentioned that the news presentation of radio and T.V. is a little different from th at of a newspaper. He said that the news given on radio will not put so much emphasis on "statistics, but rather on details which the listener can more easily remember ... whereas a newspaper can publish all the statistics because the person can choose whether or not to read them ." Omaha Teens Are Aware As far as Omaha teens are concerned, Mr. Benson replied that for the most part "they are intensely aware of the things going on around them." Thi s does n' t just mean local affairs for he added that they ( teens ) "are
well-informed about Vietnar The news director also thoug that the " World-Hera ld Te Section is one of the best I' seen." Although a radio announc job may seem superficially gla ourous, Mr. Benson pointed o some drawbacks. His worki day begins at 4:30 a.m . ~nd Ia• between 12 and 14 hours. keeps this working schedule days a week. Also, holidays off the biggest audience, and a rad announcer must work. Mr. Benson attended the U versity of Illinois and Butler Un versity, where he received F A .B. in communications. F worked for NBC in Indianapo for three years before being o fered KOIL's news directors last August. Wh en asked why I took up radio news broadcastin Mr Benson replied that I thought this field offered him "chance to be of service" ar that he felt "a real responsibili to keep Americans aware." said that he was proud to be member of KOIL, "a vital, gro ing organization."
Spring Brings New Fun by Bob Wilson
Instead of going home and studying after school you may find most Westsiders (boys, that is ) shooting a little stick (pool, that is ) . Skylark Billiards is the place to go, and your money does go. For the hungry at heart and the "cycle rats" Todds and Kings are where they meet the pack. How many cokes have been consumed since September 13? Now that Spring is here, more young lovers will be at Memorial Park, stopping and enjoying the
view. The view cons ists of football games, traffic jams, a nd just general fun. There are always jobs for the industrious, but we'll leave that subject where it li es. And for the studious, the place to go is the library. No matter what you' re studying, you can find it at the library, from g irls to Shakespeare. As for the girls, they follow th e boys. More convertibles full of girls are seen looking .. . looking and sometimes they find . .. A few are going home to sleep.. Are they resting up for the big week-end, or are they just recuperating from the last big week-end? No matter what shape Westsiders are in, they're usually having a good time.

Spring Spirit Overrides Car Safety
::bear {;Jifor
There is no doubt that the spring spirit is in the air and the effe cts are far reaching. More important than the growth of daydreamin g, sen ioritis, and puppy-love, however, is the obvious disregard of sa fety in the daily driving habit of spri ng-struck teens. In our rush to get away from school to the nearest hamburger, pool table, tennis racket, o r bowling bowl, we foolishly forget our common sense and restraint as we slam that car door. Necessary for any good time are friends, lots of them. We ask, th ey accept, and soon we ha ve a earful with which it is hard to be careful. Drivers tend to forget that they cannot be pa sse ngers while they are at the wheel.
It is especially difficult when one is riding in a convertible with the wind blowing and the sun shining, to feel any danger. Actually , any sudden stop cou ld easily throw everyone in the car to sudde n death. Spring mean s more cars, filled with more teenagers and more potential danger. It would be wise for all of us to remember, "The shortest distance between two points, is a safe line. THE LANCE STAFF
'Fox's Facts' Enlighten Warriors There are a lot of things to do in Omaha after the day's work is done. The evening activities provided by the schools and city are varied and numerous. Unfortunately, they are also doomed. However, students are not taking any chances; they are playing it safe and staying indoors after sundown. The reason for this forced seclusion is widely known; a horde of man-eating wild animals mysteriously appear every night and prowl the city terrorizing anyone who happens to meet them. They pose a real danger and an elusive one, too. Repeated efforts to track the fiends down the following morning have failed. One time a group of courageous young souls, armed with exploding cans of Gaines Burgers, spent the better part of a morning carefully following a · set of d eadly looking tracks only to end in defeat. Somewhere along the line, they apparently made a mistake, for the trail led them to the doghouse of a tailwagging, hand-licking, lovable little puppy-dog. Mostly they just scare the daylights out of people. One fellow whose hands were still shaking and whose eyes were wide, told how this huge elephant-like creature with a cask hanging from his neck had chased him ih his Volkswagen all the way to Memorial. But be patient, fellow victims; with a fresh quarter upon us, no one will have time to walk around the streets at night and with no one to pounce on, the creatures might move on in desperation (and hunger) to happier hunting grounds.

Hmm ' Would You Believe ... ? '
By Lorna J. Love Dan'! Boone may be the first to tell you that pathfinding isn't all it's cracked up to be but Denny Burrows and Lauren Gregg will surely second the motion. H erein unfolds a tale of the bizarre and unreal but it gets so wild you have to believe it. Our intrepid adventurers started out at 10:30 one morning on an assignment to deliver copy for the Lance to the printers (one of the evils of printing a cub issue). Denny was driving his mother's blue Mustang. They had a hard time deciding where to fin d the place but at last they arrived (fanfare). After about twenty minutes they thought they better make a stab at getting back. Many plans were suggested before they decided to retrace their first route. Lauren had neglected to mark the trees they had originally p assed and so Denny took a right at a corner where they should have gone left. Soon, they were crossing bridge after bridge (after bridge) with no way to turn around. At last (are you still with us?), the Council B I u f f s bridge loomed ahead of them. It dawned. Wrong-way Corrigan had nothing on these two. Continuing- across this minor obstacle, tlJCy managed to turn
around in a fi lli ng station (in Iowa, yet). They are just beginning to pick up some steam on the return crossing when Denny detects a· thumping. It was either a stowaway or . . . no, no, it couldn't be. The flat tire was the right rear, if you're picky about details. "It's all a dream," Lauren told himself. "It will go away in a minute. Sure it will." It didn' t. Lauren piled out of the car and thumbed his way back ( 1~ miles in the rain ) to the filling station for advice. The attendent wisely suggested, " Well, ya better get off the bridge and pay somebody to fix that tire there or you'll be paying a ticket for obstructing traffic. Haw, haw." Spurred on by this sage thinking, our duo started up the car and thumped across the bridge to a Deep Rock filling station. The attendent there checked for tire size and (naturally ) didn't have it. It might be pertinent to say that Denny didn't have a spare and there was no trunk key anywho so what did it matter, right? At Deep Rock's suggestion, the Phillips station across the street was tried. The size was right but two dollars were required. A quick check showed a grand total of 52 cents between them. Leaving the registration to Denny's own car as collateral, they get the tire but
Who's Driving?
the Phillips guy declines the favor of putting it on and tells them to 'go back to -the station they came from.' The Deep Rock man wasn't thrilled to see them. vVhile hP- changed the infamous tire, Denny and L auren 1vaited in the station (out of the rain).
The two, now with · only 42 cents ( 10 cents went for a candy bar) made it the few blocks to Mrs. Burrows office where she contributed three dollars to ba ~J them out of debt at the filling stations. ' The gas tank was registering empty by this .time and when that was remedied th"y ~tarted to go back to the stations. Denny forgot the way momentarily so he took a right into a one way street . . . going the other way. He finally got turned around and wound up down by the truck loading and train track area. They were going along fine until they ran out of road and tried driving on the tracks for a way. By this time they were both thinking, "What is this? See Omaha First week?" At last (or should we say 'at least') our daring twosome made it back to Westside just in time to catch the last quarter of sixth hour. M r. Farrar was called in for consul tation and after the (Continued on Page 3)
one-hour essay-writing exercise. The ACT tests are taken in two parts. The first part, the Student Profile Section, contains questions concerning extra-curricular achievement and educational plans. The second section consists of four tests in English, mathematics, social studies, and natural sciences.
Scheduling Explained Mr. Richard Tonjes, Administrative Intern, and Mr. Jack Peterson of the Guidance Dept. were guest speakers, Tuesday, March 22, at the meeting of the Northeast Nebraska School Administrators held at Wayne State Teachers College. Speaking on flexible scheduling, Mr. Tonjes stated that the program will be carried out as an experiment at Westside next year and more extensively in the following year.
Panhellenic Council To Present Program Four members of the Panhellenic Council will speak to the senior girls about soronttes on Monday, April 25. Mothers are also invited. The panel will give infom1ation about Rush Week and the sororities at Nebraska, Omaha, and Creighton Universities. About a week before the program, each senior girl will receive a letter from the Council, telling of the program. At the· bottom of the letter is a form to be filled out and mailed back. It asks for information such as what college the girl plans to attend. This information is kept in the Counci l's file and is used by the different sororities.
Dear ¥iss Nancy: For some time now I have been going to write and tell you how much I enjoy receiving copies of The Lance, and just today I read that it has been awarded a first prize from the Columbia Schol· astic Press Association. Certainly, this award is recog· nition of the time and effort that you and the staff have spent in publishing such excellent news· papers. I want to add my con· gratulations to the many you have already received and to commend you for your fine work. Thank you, too, for your kind· ness in sending me editions of T he Lance. I look forward to it eyen more now. Kind regards. Sincerely, Roman L. Hru ~ka U. S. Senator Nebraska Dear Editor, The time has come once again to start considering those eligible for National Honor Society. In order to be eligible, a student must have done superior work scholastically, be of good char· acter, and display leadership through extra-curricular activi· ties. A credit sheet, used in determining the amount of activities in which a stu dent participates, was passed out in English classes. On this sheet, a certain number of points are allowed for each of· fice held or club membership. This is the part we are concerned about. For- -example, .,..4 points are given for being treasurer of a class, but only .3 ·if you are the secretary. What constitutes this difference? If you answer the phone in the office for an hour a day, you receive as many points as the editor of the paper or yearbook. B~ing president of any club is worthy of .3 points, but president of Pep Club is only . worthy of .2 points. In most clubs, the work of the officers is divided fairly evenly, so why have any difference in the allotted points of officers at all? We feel that this credit sheet should be carefully examined, for if it was effective at one time, it has completely lost its meaning. It would be sad indeed if anyone was barred from the Society because of the misplaced points on the credit sheet. Students can only point out this injustice-it is up to the faculty to take action. The Shield Staff Editor's Note: Changes in the point system are not the responsibiiity of the faculty. Mrs. Conner, sponsor, and the senior Honor Society members will review the present credit sheet and make any neces• sary and justifiable changes.

Mr. Bob R ademacher, tennis coach, has made his final selections for the senior, junior, and sophomore tennis teams. Phil Blum, senior letterman, will head the Warrior team in the singles. O ther senior lettermen are J eff Gaillard and Randy Nogel. California transfer Greg Kinney, and Tom O'Brien, transfer from South Dakota, round off this year's team. Mr. Rademacher said he was "thinking in terms of a conference championship and a state championship." Prep and North should prove to be Westside's biggest obstacles in attaining a championship. Woody Vosburg, letterman, will lead the junior team. Other
The Warriors scored in fi ve out of ten events in the Omaha track meet. Westside did fairly well in field events, with Guy Ingles taking fifth in broad jump and Bob Hardt taking third in the shot. Other scorers were Westside's 240 shuttle team, Dan McCormack fifth in the 60 yard dash, and the sprint medley team. Bishop Ryan fell before the Warrior track team 99Y2 to 23Y2· Westside took 13 first places out of 15 events. Junior transfer Bob Hardt, junior Guy Ingles, and senior Dave Brown were all double winners. Guy won the broad jump and triple jump, Bob the shot and discus, and Dave the 60 highs and 100 lows. Other event winners for Westside included: Dave Ross, high jump; Art Denny, 100 yard dash; Terry Johnston, 440; Warren Whitted, 880; and Westside's two
mile and 880 relay teams. Bob Hardt broke the state record in the discus at the Cohunbus meet. He was a double winner, as he also took the shot event. Westside had a great team effort in taking third place, less than three points behind Kearney. The Warriors took first in three events and scored in six others. Westside, with its added field strength, will be a strong contender all year.
Ole For Cook's Baby Mexicans like to think they are superior to all foreigners. There is the story of the American woman who gave birth to a baby on the same day that her Mexican cook also had a child. After six months, the woman came bursting into the kitchen, saw the. cook, and said, "Isn't it wonderful? My baby has just said his first word!" Whereupon the cook's baby sat up on an old mat and said interestedly, "Is that so, madam? And what did the little fellow say?"

The next two team members participated in the Leap Frog Relay. In this contest, both team members were given a test on which they worked for 60 minutes. This was followed by a fiveminute break during which time the partners could exchange ideas. In the next hour, they exchanged papers and checked each other's work. In the Marathons, questions were flashed on a screen for a short time. Contestants had to
record their answers as quickly as possible, for as soon as the "Mad Hatter" felt several people had answered the question, he flashed another. All contestants could play the individual games during the time they weren't participating in their own events. These games included three-dimensional tic-tac-toe and pentagonoes. Contestants had to win at least two rounds to qualify for the semifinals.

WHS Teac.her, Student Tour Bell Laboratories Mr. Charles Lang, physics instructor, and senior Don Marquardt returned to Omaha Tuesday, April 15, after a two-day tour of Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N. J. Sponsored by Western Electric, two boys from Omaha were chosen to take the trip, one from the O maha School District and one from District 66. Don was chosen from District 66, and representing the Omaha Schools was a Benson student. The Omahans left Sunday morning, so had Sunday afternoon and Monday morning free to look around New York, see Rockefeller Center, go to the top of the RCA Building, attend an Off-Broadway Show, and tour the UN. Students and teachers began their tours of Bell Labs with a look at the research and development labs Monday afternoon. Such exhibits as a picture phone and a laser in action were viewed. Monday evt:ning . they heard a
speech on "Making an Art of Science." A lecture on digital light deflectors was presented Tuesday morning. It dealt chiefly with the theoretical application of the laser to computers. Bell Labs are concerned with such a topic, since the laser (and also the transistor ) were discovered there. Later, the visitors toured the labs in small groups. Mr. Lang chose the electronics discussion group, whiie Don went with the chemistry group. The final speech was given by the head of the human factors research at Bell Labs. Prior to the New York trip, the four students and teachers were shown through the Western Electric plant in Omaha. Thinking back on the trip, Don c a II s it "inspirational," realizing that Bell Laboratories was "the place where some of the most momentous discoveries of our time were maC:e."

Guide Voting With Good Judgment During the next week, all the elections for class officers and club officers will be completed. As with any election, votes have no value unless they are placed by an informed, responsible voter. Before we elect people to lead us, what do we consider to qualify them? Are they nice, sweet, good-looking, and lots of fun, or are they intelligent, diligent, sincere, and dedicated? We, of course, want people who we like, and who we feel like us, to have the honors and to lead the activities which are important to us. How many times does our affection for one, or our jealousy of another, cloud our judgment? There are many people who possess an equal amount of personality and leadership qualities, but many times it seems that only a small number win all the contests. While they are honored, they may also be overburdened in the coming year. It is necessary to think of each candidate, weighing his merits, while considering the load he is already carrying. Then, when we vote we are prepared, and we need only be honest with ourselves,
Seniors Develop Epicurian Attitude The Epicurian philosophy, revamped slightly, seems to prevail among seniors during their final eight weeks .•• "Eat, drink, and be me:rry for tomorrow we shall graduate." And why shouldn't seniors adopt this attitude? Acceptance or rejection has been confirmed by the various colleges, and it is believed that the last set of grades will not appear on the record. However, the senior who allows the malady called "senioritis" to afflict him is letting himself and others who have faith in him down. It feels good to sit back now and let the grades slide, but in June when grades come out, it doesn't fee·! so good to have self-pride slip a notch or two. Nothing is more discouraging than a report card filled with 6's and 7's. Seniors, with graduation drawing near, have ·the attitude that the high school curriculum has nothing to offer them for they are above it all. Hence, more can be gained by gazing out the window in communion with Henry Thoreau than can be gained by listening to the teacher. If seniors would be attentive, they would find that helpful advice is now being thrown out by the teachers and those who are listening a re greatly benefitting. Will our class, the Class of '66, be remembered as run-of-themill or the class which wouldn't quit?
Of himself, Joe says, "Each year I don't play · I get better! The first year on the Banquet Trail I was a Eormer Ballplayer, the second year I was great, the third year one of Baseball's Stars, and just last year I was introduced as one of Baseball's I mmortals. The older I get the more I realize that the worst break I had was playing !" Everything begins at the clubhouse. Some are plush and others would have to be painted before they could be condemned. The Cardinal clubhouse is a great one for music, with the emphasis on hillbilly records. They even had their own songwriter in catcher Hal Smith. He was the author of such immortals as "Sittin', Spittin' and a-Whittlin' ," "Churn Full 0' Chitlings" and "Purt Near but Not Plumb." Reading material is a big part of the clubhouse. Comic books rank high. If Yogi Berra can sharpen his eyes on them, who's to knock it? Most players can tell you how Dick Tracy will come out and nobody really cares if Little Orphan Annie is 48 years old.

Practical jokers are a part of every clubhouse, They always have been and always will be. Walker Cooper heads the list.

How Well Can You Spell A high school girl was declared the winner in a recent national spelling bee.

Red Jones, an American League umpire, once cleared the whole White Sox bench for insisting through most of the game that he was a meathead. The next day, on his way to home plate, he went by the White Sox bench. In unison, the boys hollered: "Oh, Mr. Umpire, you won't have any trouble with us today." Red turned around and told them he was glad to hear that, but what made them so sure? It came out in chorus: "We can't call you meathead today because it's Friday."

Brand Names Become WHS Way Of Life
Eastern Colleges Accept Active Westside Seniors by Susan Kruse This is the time of year when the colleges throughout the nation become mighty familiar to high school seniors. Most of the Eastern schools sent out letters of acceptance or rejection last week, with v a ry i n g reactions from Westsiders whose futures ·were written in the letters. Two students who have been accepted to more than one college are in this week's Lance Spotlight, as representative o(l Westside brain power. College \\ound . Nancy Silverman and Dave Larkin have both been accepted to more than one impressive college. Nancy has been accepted at Chicago University and into the University of Michigan Honors Program. Last summer, Nancy attended the Northwestern University National High School Institution, taking courses in acting, speech, drama, production, and literary interpretation for five weeks. More than two hund;ed students from all over the United States attended this section of the institution, and Nancy enjoyed the people as much as the new learning experiences. · Nancy is interested in acting, and has been in the past two class plays, portraying the nurse in "The Man Who Came to Dinner."
have substantially helped Na ncy throughout her junior and senior years at Westside.
Nancy has a variety of extracurricular activities to take care of any spare time she might have. She has been a member of Thespians for the past two years and is the Recordei this year. Nancy is a member of Z-Club, NFL, a two-year member of Math Club, French Club, International Club, and National Honor Society. Last summer, she was inducted ao an Honorary M ember into the Northwestern Masque and Gavel speech club. As if that isn't enough, Nancy is also an assistant Sunday School teacher, loves to read and write, dabbles in art, and enjoys camping during the summer.
Dave is a member of Key Club, Math Club, W Club, and Chess Club. He was the chemistry lab assistant for a while this year and played the doctor in the Senior Class Play. He is a two-year member of National Honor Society, is on the Alternate AllState Scholastic Team for Nebraska, and also received a National Merit Letter of Commendation.
After graduating from college, Nancy would like to go on to graduate school and then teach some form of the humanities in college. Nancy thinks the courses at Westside have helped her academically. She adYocates that, "any student should exploit the facilities, fantastic courses and wry fine teachers at Westside." Mrs. Clark and Mr. Rod Hansen
Scholarships! Dave Larkin has obviously been very busy during his high school years, as seen in his scholarships to Eastern school s, his fine academic record, and his activities list. Dave has a $2500 scholarship to Yale, where he plans on going to college, and a $2800 scholarship to Brown, which he will not accept. After college, he also plans on going to graduate school and then becoming a college professor or a science researcher. Dave attended the National Science Foundation Program at Brown University last summer, where he "studied a little, and had a lot of fun." Out of 800 students that applied throughout the United States, only 80 were accepted into this program. It was at this time that Dave became interested in Eastern colleges. While not studying, writing Far East papers, or taking calculus at OU, Dave likes to read or participate in any kind of sports. He has been on the crosscountry team for the past three years and has three letters to prove it.
Dave is appreciative of all that Westside has done for him and just plain "likes Westside."
Why, Yes!
by Val McKinnon Have you ever stopped to consider how interesting and challenging a school day can be? In one day at WHS, we find an incredible wealth of interests. It is morning, your General Electric has rung, and you go through the motions of eating, dressing yourself, and leaving for Westside in the Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Pontiac, Dodge, or whatever. You arrive, go to your Fred Medart or Aurora, Illinois, a·n d proceed to dump the load of D.C. Heath & Co., and Harper Brothers, and gather together your Macmillans, Bytones, Westabs, and Spirals. Entering your first hour class, you plop down in the assigned American Seating, and commence doing any homework you did not finish the night before. A friend enters, and you comment on how nice their n~w Bobbie Brooks looks, receiving the answer, " I made it myself on the Singer!' Shocked, of course at this grand display of artistic ability, a discussion begins of sewing and clothes.
Th e Bu ,in es~ Dept. tries to fulfill it obj ec tives by giving students enough skill before th ey graduate for beginning employment or by giving them a n opportunity to di scover whether th eir interes t li es in thi s fi eld . At th e present time, th e Business Dept. has three 2-yea r programs: clerical, bookkeeping, a nd Distributive Education ; and it is adding a secreta rial program next year. These provide enough training to enable students to work in these fields or incentive to go on to further training. The sequence for the clerical program is at least one year of typing followed by the offi ce practice course, which teaches offi ce procedures and the use of office machines. The bookkeeping progra m mvolves two years of bookkeeping and accounting. In the DE program, the .student takes sales and marketing and one other related course p rior to his senior year and takes Distributive Education and onthe-job training as a senior. This course trains students for work in distributive occupations such as retail and wholesale jobs, merchandising, and advertising.

" They've got to know how to cook, weep floors, and polish your shoes." Finally finding someone able to fulfill these tasks, Mr. Calvin Delano recently reduced the ranks of Westside's bachelor teachers by 12.5 per cent. This happy event took place on Saturday, March 26, in St. Louis, Mo ..

Mr. Delano, chemistry instructor, and his wife, the former Brenda Masluk, spent a two-week honeymoon in New York, where Mr. Delano also attended a science convention. The Delanos met last summer at Stanford University, while both were on Shell Fellowships. Mrs. D elano is a physics teacher and is currently working on her master's degree in physics. When asked his .opinion on marriage, Mr. Delano said, " I'd recommend it to anyone 33 or older," but he qualified this statement by applying it only to men. "Women," he feels, "should get married somewhere after 23 or 24." Only ~eve n unfortunate bachelors remai n at Westside: Mr. Rod Hansen, Mr. Harley Hardison, Mr. D avid Hennings, Mr. Charles Lang, Mr. Philip Vreeland, Mr. Richard Winchell, and Mr. Stephen Wiitala. There is hope, however, as shown in Mr. Delano's shining example.

The seniors got a good talking to from coaches Phil Blum, Mark J ensen, and Jerry James at half, and took a 7-4 lead at the third quarter. A technical foul was then called on junior coach Guy Ingles.

The juniors were obviously out for revenge in the girls' basketball game, but the seniors managed to triumph. The main .reason for this appeared to be in the smartness of the coaches. The senior coaches seemed to be smarter than the junior coaches. During tryouts they picked the girls who knew how to play basketball, while the juniors were taken in by the charm and curves of the junior girls, instead of their basketball ability. It is the right time of year for baseball, but the wrong type of weather. One of last week's games was snowed out. Better luck in the future. Last week was the worst time of the year for all boys. The girls tried out for cheerleading. Both those who made it and those who didn't make it cried. The poor boys didn't know who made it and who didn'tj they lost either way. I guess it doesn't matter if they know, because they have no say in who is going to represent their school in cheerleading anyway. If the boys don't yell with the Pep Club and cheerleaders, don't give them a hard time, because they're not their cheerleaders. They are the Pep Club's. People say that the boys would pick the girls they like most, not the best cheerleaders. I say the boys would be just as fair as the girls. I have always thought that the boys make up part of the population of the school.

In this issue we have one of the best looking and running cars at Westside as the Warrior Machine of the Week. The British Racing green 427 turbo engine Chevy Corvette belongs to junior Jimmy Novak. It operates with a full race cam and solid lifters to help turn out 450 horses of unbelievable power. The top and leather interior are both black. The Corvette has a four-speed shifter for fast pickup, and during those awful commercials on the radio Jimmy listens to any song he wants to on his tape recorder. The pipes are on the outside just below the mustard yellow pin stripe that goes all around the car. Disc brakes on all four
wheels make it easier to- stop . This is Jimmy's second car. His other was a gray Stingray, but it couldn't compare to the one he has now. Hemi R ated in Europe Plymouth H emi has kept up its fine ratings in the European races and is now considered a· racing power. Because of the drastic changes that are made from . year to year, one can never predict who will be a power in a year. The major racing power has changed hands the past three years. No Drag News Because of press time we were not able to cover the drags last Sunday, and the week before they were rained out, but we hope to make it out there next Sunday.
'Athlete of the Week' Westside's only state record holder in track this year, Bob Hardt, is Athlete of the Week. Bob is a junior who transferred from Iowa. As a sophomore he held the Iowa state record for the discus throw. Bob is one of two Nebraskan athletes who have ever thrown the discus over 170 feet. He broke the state record in the second meet of the season. Bob also throws the shot and is one of the best in the state in that event. Bob also plays football and basketball. He will be a good lineman next year and will add scoring and rebounding

nearly all the 36 Key Clubs m Nebraska and Iowa registered at the convention. The theme for the convention was "Serve With Integrity," the 1965-66 Key Club International administrative theme. The main objectives of the convention were for Key Clubbers and their sponsors to learn more about K ey Clubbing and to elect officers to lead the Nebraska-Iowa District in the coming year. The convention program began Friday evening, April 15, with divisional caucuses and a tour of the Omaha Works of the Western Electric Company. At the caucuses, the 14 divisions elected their lieuteJ;.ant governors, who will represent their clubs on the district and international levels. Saturday at 9 a.m., Mr. Edwin T. Rogers, Governor of the Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis District, addressed the convention. Following this opening session, candidates for district offices delivered their campaign speeches. The luncheon session began at 11 :45 a.m. and was climaxed by an address by the International Counselor for the Nebraska-Iowa District. After the luncheon session, the convention recessed for the afternoon, providing opportunities for district contests and, later, a matinee of "The Battle of the Bulge." The banquet session, which
was the culmination of the whole convention, began at 6 p.m. Saturday. At this session, the winners of the district contests were announced . An address by the president of Key Club International, Daniel Richey, was followed by the announcement and installation of the new district officers. Two W estsiders were successful at the convention. Junior Bob Henderson was elected Lieutenant Governor of Division 11 of the District, and junior Tom Grossman won first place in the district impromptu essay contest.

Teachers, like seniors, at this time of year, find themselves victims
rnent, relief and nostalgia, at seeing another semester end. It is a g ood time of the year. Your numerous activities and social commitrnents vie with term papers and examinations for your attention. You have little time to pause and consider the benefits you might have received as a result of your years at Westside High School. You will probably devote less time to an analysis of your class and th e record it ha s made. A few observations about this are in order at t.his time. I want to congratulate the Class of '66 for the many fine and e xtraordinary achieve ments you have made in so many fields. We are aware of your excellent athletic record, your contributions in the fine erts and debate, and your outstanding academic ac hievement. Many of you will receive tangible rewards in the form of individual scholar$hips and awards at Commencement and at Honors Convocation. Impressive as all these things are, and we take justifiable pride in your accomplishments , we are more impressed with another aspect that characterizes your class. Fa culty members have often made the o bservation that your class is unique in your unselfishness, your dedi~ation to do in g a job well, and- your unity and respect for one ano ther. Seldom do we see a group of students with the sense of pride in achievement you have shown . If any one word might be used to desc ribe the Class of '66, it should be integrity. Your sense of responsibility is unique and is a trait for which young people are seldom recognized. You may not have always had the outstanding individual of the "one-man gang, " but your cooperative dedication ha s lifted you above our expectations. Your commitment to excellence has established a mark for other classes to follow. We are proud to have had the privilege of working with you, enCl we will follow your future ca reers with interest and expectation for continued success.

Students Need Democratic Example Democracy in its purest form wa s shown Tuesday, April 26, when the District 66 school board held a caucus to nominate candidates for b oard positions. With the growth of America, the "intimate democracy" of our early history has been lost to many people. It is refreshing to see evidence of traditions which seem to be forgotten, many times. The schools of the nation were founded to educate us in the basics of our democratic system. It, therefore, seems strange that the closest we come to actual practice of democracy is a district meeting which does not involve us. In the past, a County Government Day was held for juniors, wherein they could learn through participation. Two opposing parties elected candidates who then campaigned for an all-school election. With the increased enrollment, it is impossible for everyone to be involved, but everyone would benefit just from observing the contest. This would be a fine way to add an extracurricular acti vity :which would also be edu cational and of interest to all students.

Letters to the Editor D ear Editor: May we of the Famler-Stockman Staff add our congratulations to those of others you must have received after winning first prize from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Also congratulations to your staff on winning runner-up position for the Sweepstakes Award in the Nebraska Journalism contest. The fine editorial work of your staff reflects the thoughts and ideals of an excellent group of young people. Issues of the Lance constantly renew our faith in the young people about t0 take over the unfinished work of 'this great nation. Best personal wishes to all of you. Sincerely, Roy Alleman Editorial Director Dear Editor, Throughout history, man has found it to be a practical necessity to have his life regulated by some uniform method of keeping time. · Has Westside adopted some alien form of daylight savings? I find when I get to school at 7:55 (outside time), the last bell has just rung, and all over the entire school, the clocks are usually about five minutes fast. Would it be possible to go on "outside time" again? Or, if we intend to leave it the way it is, let's tell everyone else. Timmy Tardy
Dear Editor, In the past few days, I've h eard many people talking about how bad the cheerleaders have been this year. I think they've done a fine job and everyone at We tside can be proud of them, They showed a lot of spirit at the games, but those people who attend the games and don't cheer make the cheerleaders' job a]. most impossible. They can't gen. erate much spirit if they are the only ones yelling. The cheerleaders put in many h o u r s practicing and learning new cheers, and few people real· ize the time and effort this takes. The students .who complaiil might be those who haven't got what it takes to become a cheer. leader, and thus resent the sue cess of the present cheerleaders I would like to say thanks to the cheerleaders for the fine jol:l they did this year, and wish the senior members of the squad the best of luck in the future. M. R. Dear Editor, Lately I've been concerned about the attitude prevailing among students. Everyone seems to hate each other for petty reasons. The end of the year is coming and we are all just as tense as Conrad Birdie, but this is no excuse for hurting others' feelings. Even though it seems hard to smile, I think we should, because an awful lot of people are getting hurt. One Who Has Been Hurt

NOT BEGINNING OF END, END -O FBEGINNIM It seems impossible that the graduation for which we have waited so long is almost here. The feelings and mixed emotions we have cannot be explained to anyone younger. Many seem to feel that June 6 is the beginning of the end; that He from now on will be anti-climactic to what we have already experienced.
·«
<; :;
Of course we can never go bad again, but this should hold no sa dness, for graduation is actually only the end of the beginning. The life behind us has been valuable, and from it we have emerged as individuals. Our habits, beliefs, prejudices, hopes, and dreams are with us now. From here we must move ahea'd to prove ourselves, fulfilling our goals while ever increasing our knowledge. The past eighteen years have been the foundation upon which our lives will be built. We hope that we now can put a fin e "house" on that good foundation. As 'we graduate we take with us many things, and as we end the beginning, we begin again. Life is a book in volumes three The past, the present, and the yet to be. The past is finished, laid away, The present is what we are living today. The future is the last and the best of the three; It is written by God and He holds the key.* NANCY EATON *TakeR from the OVERSEER
Seniors Recall Many Memories Seniors Labeled Snea~ J. FroIn Their Years At Westside By Nancy Eaton If you're a person who believes in numbers you may be interested to know that this year the Class of '66 is graduating from District 66 and we've been at Westside for six years. The nice things about high school are the thousands of memories one makes, for it's a time of many firsts. Do you remember??? What's A Sophomore Slump? During our sophomore year we began to find our places in the
world as we studied man's place in nature via packets. Tom Swifties were very popular as were the Beatles. We had Go Beat Prep Week and the first show by the Science Seminar students. 1964 was the year for the first JuniorSenior Girls' basketball game as well as a Donkey Basketball game. Turfing was the sport and we were mentioned in Sports Illustrated due to our unusual pastime. R emember???

The Hardest Year of All 1964-65 was the hardest year academically as we ran into American history and English and had our beliefs challenged by the transcendentalists. We took National Merits and College Boards. We watched the seniors produce their play, "Charley' ~unt" and produced our own, "You Can' t Take It With You." There were national elections and we had one too. We- had Westside night at King Arthurs' and Farrar Girls supported his bid for the NESA position. Skate boards were the thing and we had a Scurting Relays to prove it. There were those first term papers and the Teacher Bowl and class rings (all seven kinds). There . was a Prom too. Remember???
The Golden Year Comes The year we wanted so badly finally came and now it's nearly gone. How do you remember all the details of a year so busy? There were college applications and more college boards. There was English Composition and a Powder Puff Football Game which we won. There were football and basketball games, Homecoming and Sweetheart. There were Regents' Exams, and Wonderballs and Batman. There was the senior play, "The Man Who Came To Dinner," and the musical " Bye Bye Birdie." There were announcements and senior pictures and senior superlatives. There was the migration to Columbus and National Honor Society. There were more term papers and sociology trips and honor study halls. There were senior privileges: Still to come are the memories of Baccalaureate, Commencement, the Prom, the Senior Class Picnic, and the Government Trip. "We're the Greatest in all the West ; T he Class of '66 is Best.'' Remember??? ?
By Lorna Love The sighs of relief usually reach epidemic proportions as the end of the year finally comes to our rescue. The most notable source of supercilious smiles comes from the departing seniors. It is only fitting that they should be given their moment of glory. The seniors leave behind them a tradition that, if WHS was lucky, would peter out, but judging by the rest of the year, will probably go on forever. Besides such catchy sayings, popular now, as "No more teachers, no more books, no more lunch rooms with lousy cooks," etc., the seniors are (happily ) turning over to the juniors many stock secrets (for future reference ). Study Halls There is, of course, certain study hall behavior that must be perfected if a junior is to be transformed into a super-superior senior. If you are assigned to the library study hall, this privilege being awarded to those of grace, charm, deportment and browns, you must learn to survive in subzero atmosphere.
Hall Performance The main idea is to stroll just far enough away from the lockers to prohibit anyone passing you on the right but not so close that they might have a chance of getting by on the left _(heaven forbid).
Skipping: The Art Thereof 1) Always look like you , going somewhere important. cafe across the street and ho do not count. (Hint: Try c· rying a small piece of white ~ per, looking suspiciously like pass, in your hand. When step out smartly and carry t paper, it is not likely you will stopped by a strolling teac with time on his hands. ) 2) Look to see how the tea~ ers skip out of convocations remember the escape route t decide on. After all, they h had more experience in th matters and can be trusted find the quickest and safest w Those who try the Hon Method and sign out to Village are usually caught an told to act their age. Oka Next time they will sign o for Mickeys. Being a senior is definitely it's cracked up to be. You get called down in study hall moved to the cafeteria. You get mashed into the lockers sophomores who already kn the art of passing groups on dead run. And you may sit untold hours in the girls' at convocations if you get caug skipping. But, after all, half tl fun of being a senior , • , is tr ing.

by Nancy Eaton It seems strange to be composing a farewell when I feel we ha just begun. It has been an exciting year for the staff and me as have tried to make the LANCE as important to its readers as it h been to us. We have made many changes both in format and in content hopes that the LANCE could become an effective voice for the st dents of Westside High School I t is impossible to thank everyone who has made this paper p< sible. First and foremost my thanks go to Miss Carol Page and to m staff. Thanks also go to the student body, the parents, the admin tration and the advertisers who have offered criticism, advise, appro al, and money. We hope this last issue will be remembered, especial by the seniors. It's been a lot of work but a lot of fun. Good lu to the new staff and best wishes for a successful year in '67.

Gymnasts Finish Third In District The gymnastics team, with the completion of its second season at WHS, has shown to people across the state that it can be a top contender in any tournament. Led by ,geniors Gary Spear, Carl Troia, and J ohn Moore who competed in free exercise, tumbling, and trampoline, respectively, the Warriors placed third in the district competition, held Saturday, Feb. 26, at Westside. This followed last year's fifth place finish in Metro-the best a first year team has ever done. The Warrior gymnasts, coached by Mr. Bob Moscrey, completed the season with few wins, but represented Westside well in the past year. Next year's team should provide even more flawless performances to even more gymnastics fans.
Senior Girls Win In Football, B-Ball
Westside's annual junior-senior girls' football and basketball games turned out exciting for everyone this year. The senior girls triumphed in both games, but the j unior girls will have a chance to redeem themselves next year. The senior girls' great combination of Carol Stromberg, quarterback, and Tamra Hall, end, resulted in one touchdown for the seniors. That play covered 78 yards. Sharon Forehead returned a kick off to the five yard line in the second half, and Lynn Koile took it over from there. The juniors were finally able to score, but couldn't over-take the senior lead, The basketball game proved to be a little more exciting, as the juniors put up a stiffer fight. However, the seniors still won out

in the end. The seniors had a 1-0 lead at the end of the fi rst quarter, but the juniors went ahead at halftime. Carol Stromberg came to the rescue and scored nine points in the game, as the seniors won by five points. The junior girls will be seniors next year, and we wish them the b~st of luck in redeeming themselves. If they lose again next year, it will be four straight defeats-a first in Westside history.

Westside gridmen completed a seven win and two loss season and attained a state rating of ninth. In the Warriors' first game, they spoiled North High's record of never being defeated by the Warriors. They had defeated Westside four of the past five years and tied once. Westside won the game 2-0 on a recovered blocked punt in the North high end zone. Westside then met Thomas Jefferson and clobbered them in one of the easier games of the year. The next victory brought more satisfaction than any other victory

of the season. It was over Prep. Westside led 6-0 at the half, but scored 13 more points in the second half. That was the second win over Prep in two year~. Westside's first loss of the season was to a good Bellevue team, Westside had two bad breaks in the first half and went into the locker room losing 14-0. The second half saw a fine comeback by the Warriors, but they could only manage 13 points, not quite enough. Fremont was off and running in the next game, scoring in the first few plays, but Westside soon tripped them ...a~ scored more than 40 points to Fremont's 19. South and Bishop Ryan '-'\'ere two of Westside's easier victims, as Westside handled b,oth of them easily. Westside ran into a strong, fast Tech team in their next outing. Tech was only able to score 12 points, but they were also the only team to hold the powerful ' 1\Testside offense to zero points. In the final game of the season, ' 1\Testside stomped over Burke High, 47-0. Burke put up a good fight, but they were outmanned by the Westside team. Westside's two quarterbacks passed over 1,000 yards this year. Westside's power can be measured in its scoring 245 points and giving up only 51 points duri ng the season. It was a fine season and the Lance would like to con路 gratulate the team, especially the 27 seniors, and would like to wish the juniors good luck next year.

Side Lines by Scott Hinckley Westside has had one of its best all-around years in sports this year. The Warriors have had two state champions, one in swimming and one in golf. The cagers came in second this year behind Boys Town and the football team used a fine 7-2 record to place ninth in state. Last week the Warrior track team took fourth in state. These are only a few of the teams that have placed in the top ten in state ratings, and Westside has a chance for the overall sports championship as well. Todd Smith, athlete of the week, makes another great dive in the State Swimming Meet. 1

WHSMatRats Finish Hopefully Westside's grapplers, known to many of us as the "mat rats," finished their season as they started it-on a hopeful note. Juniors Ron Volberding and Al Bach are the chief providers of this hope and optimism as far as next season's wrestling team goes. Both were Varsity matmen this past season. Volberding, who competed in the 180 lb. weight division, was voted the most improved wrestler of the 1964-1965 season. Bach competed last year~ as he did this year, in the 120 lb. weight class.
Cagers Finish Second Westside enjoyed one of its best basketball seas~ns in years, as they took second in State behind Boystown and won 17 games, losing only four. Westside lost all-stater John Buller plus three other starters from last year's team, but still came through strong. The Warriors started out with three big victories, but, during the Columbus trip, the team got food poisoning and lost their next game to Lincoln High. Westside entered the Holiday Basketball Tournament a third choice and finished third. The first game the Warriors met Prep and played a good game defeating them, 53-43. Tech beat Westside in the second game, 56-54, as Westside had its worst shooting percentage of the year. North bowed to the Warriors in the third game by ten points. A ten-game winning streak had started, and Westside played its best games during this period. The Warriors beat Prep again, 69-53, and played their best game against Benson, beating the toprated team, 86-67~ Boystown proved to be the only obstacle in the Warriors' ·path to the state title.. Westside lost the Metropolitan. L e ague. game against Boystown, so dropped to second in the league behind Prep. Boystown again beat the Warriors in the District Tournament,
The mat rats, coached by Lou Miloni, didn' t have any first place winners in state competition this year, but iook very good for the 1966-67 season. With hard work and determination, next year's grapplers may top the 1964-1965 record of two state champions on a Westside team.
preventing Westside from going on to the State Tournament. Even though they did not make it to the State Tournament, the sports writers felt that West ide was good enough to place second in State behind Boystown.
New Precedent Set For '66-67 Harriers The 1965-66 Warrior crosscountry team established a somewhat new precedent for the upcoming harriers to follow. Warren Whitted set the pace for the team. Whitted was consistently a big winner for Westside. Mr. Robert Moscrey, crosscountry coach, was a bit skeptical at the beginning of the season, but as he gained confidence so did the team. The harriers did not place high in many meets, but it did show typical Warrior spirit throughout the year. Next fall Whitted and many other fine runners will be back to boost the team to another good season.

For the team, it was a year filled with m uch disappointment because of a 3-2 decision to Tech in district competition, whi'ch ended Warrior chances of playing in the State Tournament. For senior Steve Hartung, it was a disappointment because of an early injury to his arm, which sidelined him for much of the season. However, there were just as many exc1tmg moments. One such moment came in the April

Tennis Team Fails; Benson Upsets Blum All hopes for a district tennis title, or even a place in the top three, vanished Saturday, May 14, as the Westside Warriors were sent behind by North, Central, Thomas Jefferson, Prep, and South in the district meet at Dewey Park. The Warriors were s e a t e d fourth before the tournament, but a few upsets ended all possibilities for a district championship. Central's Bill Brunell gained a surprising 1-2 singles victory over WHS senior Phil Blum. Gregg Kinney, WHS senior, however, avenged Blum's loss by downing Ben Shapton, of Central, 2-4, in the second singles event. Mr. Robert Rademacher, tennis coach, had "hopes for doing better." He said, " We ·should have beaten Prep and South." Seniors Jeff Gaillard and Woody Vosberg were defeated 6-4 in one of the closest doubles events in the tournament. The Warriors finished with 14 points, eight points behind the pace set by North and Central. T. J. was second wth 20, and Prep and South were tied for fourth with 16 points.

In other games, such as those with Boys Town and Lincoln High, the b-ballers forced shutouts, 10-0 and 5-0, respectively. Warrior hopes were stymied, however, by the loss to Tech High in the district.

All in all, this season has been a successful one. And next year, according to the fatman of the batmen (known to his fellow teammates as Herr), "the Varsity team will provide Warrior fan s with another successful season." Warren Whitted looks to heaven for added strength.

india. The incense of the East rises most sharply from Harrison'S work on "While My Guitar Weeps," but there are whiffs of it on "Dear Prudence" and "I Will." Harrison, though, is still very deep -in the Indian mystique, as can be discerned on his Wonderwall Music LP, also on Apple. He wrote and arranged this music for the "Wqnderwall," and the sound is about 70 percent Indian, 10 percent Beatie and 20 percent electronic distortion. It all comes off rather well, and the out-'and-out Indian portions are quite well done. Harrison used a raft of musicians with Indian names (including one called Ashish Kahn, who may be Harrison himseiO; so there is a ring of authenticity about the music. The outstanding 'track is "Dream Scene," during which all sorts of wild things take place. Few other pop musicians, however, have Harrison's conviction, and their use of Indian devices is limited to either buzz-guitared imitations of the sitar's sound (a high-pitched, nasal twang) or vague assimilations of the concept of the raga's gat section when the main soloist improvises over a complex percussion pattern - and a hypnotic drone. For reference, listen to Riehl~ Havens, The Cream or, even, Canned Heat. Jazz musicians have taken the gat concept and used it more subtely and, at the same time, more overtly. For example, the late saxophonist John Coltrane infused his quartet performances with this concept of prime solo-
ist (Coltrane) improvising over a secondary percussion improvisation (played by his drummer, Elvin Jones) and repetitious and continuous background sound (provided by his pianist and bassist). Yet his music retained its jazz flavor (it didn't sound Indian), and the players never lost their identities. Perhaps the finest example of the Coltrane quartet playing in this manner is included in the Impulse album simply titled Coltrane. On Ravi Shankar/Easf is East ... In late 1961 or early '62, Coltrane expressed interest in recording with Shankar. Richard Bock, who recorded Shankar for his label, World Pacific, and by Don DeMicheal â&#x20AC;˘ The music of India is probably who was largely responsible for Shankar's popularity the world's oldest musical system, but it has only rein the United States, was eager to try the experiment. cently worked an influence on Western musics. Even Coltrane, however, later decided not to pursue the at that, only one type of Indian music, that of north idea, out of respect for both his own and Shankar's India, and one perfermer, Ravi Shankar, have made musics. any real inroads into the work of Western musicians, and these musicians are, in the main, of rock or jazz Perhaps guitarist Gabor Szabo, who stands bestride the pop and jazz fields, best put the true musician's persuasions. approach to Indian music when he said, "All I ever The Beatles have had a lot to do with the fad (now wanted Indian music to be was a strong, strong influbeginning to fade) for Indian music among the pop ence on my plane. -But I never for a moment thought musicians.

It's like the whole body." Despite the implications of his statement, Shanker has recorded with Western musicians, but none of these efforts-including the most recent, with violinist Yehudi Menuhin, West Meets East, Album 2 (Angel) -is as successful as his .pure Indian performances. Most of Shankar's finest work is on his earlier recordings, which were ,made in India or during the late '50s and early '60s in the United States. On most of these he is supported magnificently by Chatur Lal, the extremely sensitive and exciting master of the tabla, the pair of drums used in most north Indian music. These Shankar LPs include The Sounds of India (Columbia), Six Ragas and Three Ragas (hoth. rnL-- - . Capitol), and India's Master Musician and In Concert (World Pacific). The Columbia album is also an excellent introduction to Indian music, because in addition to the expository liner notes, there is a spoken explanation of the raga. Another fine introductory album is The ¡Drums of India (Capitol), in which Joan Prakash Ghosh and a percussion ensemble demonstrate various Indian drums-there are many besides the tabla. And there are other musical styles in addition to the north Indian; several of these, including the more ancient south Indian, are heard in Classical Ragas of India (Limelight), p. valuable collection of field recordings. Among other recommended recordings are any by Ali Akbar Khan, who plays the sarod, and Balachander, who plays the veena. Both instruments are stringed but have deeper sounds than the sitar. Both artists are in Shankar's league. Generally, any recording oflndian musicians, playing authentic Indian music, is a good buy. But beware those combinations of East and West. Kipling was right.

"with it," you're "today." At the same time it's easy and casual and seems as if you didn't really do anything to achieve it. It's neat, not fussy; young, not Juvenile; bright, not loud. It's got everything going for it, and it could be going for you, too. You've got the great look now, you say. And you probal>ly do. But since new styles, fabrics, designs and colors are constantly breaking out, take advantage of them. Be as up to the minute as the next tick of the clock. If you put your clothes together right, you may be the one everybody follows. Try the new four-inch ties, especially when y0u go for that summer job interview. Regency sportcoats are "hot," and would look great at that new discotheque. Apres swim pants can take you through a picnic, sailing or a barbecue. Add some of these items to your wardrobe, and you'll be high in style. Blow your mind over vibrant yellows, reds and greens. Keep your cool with great lightweight fabrics created especially for warmer weather. Get into a Western shirt. This is what's happening ... Now ... make it happen for you. So go ahead and get TIIAT look ... and then watch ... you'll be getting a lot of THOSE looks.. • Mr. O'Keefe Is Fashion Director of The Ame.rican Institute of Men's and Boys' Wear.

The publisher is none other than our friends from Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In" show, Funk & Wagnalls. And if you don't believe me, you can look it up in your Webster's.

ironclad rules for behaviour. The chapter on chaperones alone would send most high school girls of today into fits of laughter-or panic. "The conventions of propriety demand that every young woman must be protected by a chaperone, because otherwise she will be ... MISJUDGED," said Emily, and the threat in that word "misjudged" made a maiden's hair stand on end in 1922. And well it might. One poor girl went sailing with a young man back in '22. Emily sorely frowned on this, claiming a chaperone should be in the sailboat just in case the young man might dare to take his eyes off the sails. And, to describe the horror that might befall a young girl who went sailing without a chaperone, she t~lls this nightmare story: "The Maine coast is particularly subject to fogs that often shut down without warning and no one going out on the water can tell whether he will be able to get back within a reasonable time or not. A man and a girl went out from Bar Harbor and did not get back until the next day. Everyone knew that the fog had come in

as thick as pea soup and that it was impossible to get home; but to the end of time her reputation suffered for the experience." Where could you go with a date in 1922? According to Emily, hardly anywhere. "No young girl of social standing may, without ' being criticized, go alone with a man to the theater. Absolutely no lady can go to dinner or supper in a restaurant alone with a gentleman .. . she is sometimes (not always) allowed to go to a moving picture matinee with him." Never at night. Emily was apparently just warming up. In one final paragraph, she rings the bell of doom left and right. "It is unheard of for a gentleman to 'take' a young girl alone to a dance or to dine or to parties . . . nor can she accept his sponsorship anywhere whatsoever. A wellbehaved girl goes to public dances only when properly chaperoned. . . . It is not only improper, it is impossible for any man to take a lady to a party of any sort." All right, Emily. We hear you! On to the Cheetah! For the forlorn girl who wished to escape the watchful eyes of her hometown neighbors, and tried to get away frotp. it all, there was just no hope. Suppose she was lucky enough to have a handsome, eligible young man sit next to her on a train. Emily thunders her warning: "On a railroad train, if a stranger happens to offer to open a window for her, it does not give him the right to more than a civil 'thank you' from her.

One of the neat things about Gurney's racing program has-been the inside look at it he's given to several thousand enthusiasts through the Eagle Club set up by his general manager, Max Muhleman. Membership in the AAR Eagle Club brings you a periodic newsletter and access to a lot of great Eagle-type goodies, which are the bestlooking in the business. It also supports Dan's racing.

WHEELS ON WHEELS: dick smothers
Auto racing Is entertainment today, and entertainment's in auto racing In a big, big way. There always were entertainers who raced, like Jackie Coogan and Jimmy Dean, and others like Clark Gable and Mel Torma who really dug cars and racing, but they were rare. Today car buff;; among stars are legion. At the moment Dick Smothers has to be Number One on the list, because he really races in the drags and in the single-seaters of the Sports Car Club of America's Formula B class. Formula B is road racing, on tough tracks with a car capable of maybe 150 mph. It's not easy racing but Dick does well at it, if not exceptionally well. He also drives Oldsmobiles at the drags in a team set up with Carl Schiefer of clutch-building fame. Brother Tom isn't turned on by cars the way Dick is, but he goes along with the "Smothers Brothers Racing Team" tag that's b9en applied to McKee-Oids and Lola Can-Am cars and to the EagleChevy that won the 1968 SCCA Grand Prix Championship in the hands of Lou Sell. Dick's enthusiasm for cars is basic and longstanding, as he demonstrates every month in his highly personal column in Car and Driver magazine. Dick is very good for cars. We hope cars continue to be ·good for him. SCHOLASnC ROTO • MARCH 1969

The Joke's a Bit Damp, but the Anny Nurse Program's Teriffic Quick, stop leafing through those college catalogues and looking enviously at the sections on scholarships. H you've been thinking about a career in nursing (and that goes for both girls and boys), you're lucky because you may qual• ify for a college education practically free. Sound too good to be true? Well, the Walter Reed -Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., has set up a program unique in the field of nurse training, in fact it's pretty unusual in the annals of education period. WRAIN (short for Walter Reed Army Institute of Nursing program) was started five years ago to help relieve the shortage of nurses. Here's basically how it works: For four years Uncle Sam will pay your tuition and most of your other fees. During the flmt two years you attend any .college (provided . it's accredited and meets the minimum standards for a nursing degree) you wish, getting a broad background in liberal arts and science. The government foots the bill by paying tuition and fees directly to the school. You receive a monthly allowance to cover room and board. Then, at the end of your sophomore year, you'll transfer to the University of Maryland School of Nurs- ing which jointly administers the WRAIN program with Walter Reed. After you graduate With a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the University of Maryland, your only obligation is to serve with the Army Nurse Corps for three years. So in addition to a fine education, you have the security of knowing there's an excellent job wait_ing for you the minute you step out of your cap and gown. When your tour of active duty~ over, the next step is up to you. Many nurses find a career for themselves in the Army Nurse Corps. . This is a job possibility often overlooked by · students but, as the American Nurses' Asso- ciation points out, "the military does offer fine career opportunities for nurses."
Torque Converter-A hydraulic turbine-type device capable of multiplying torque from a driving source to the part being driven.

Can you qualify for WRAIN? See box on page 10 for further information. When you transfer to Washington after two college years, intensive studies in nursing will· get underway. Your time will be divided between the University of Maryland School of Nursing and Walter Reed; between Classroom courses and practical on-the-job training in the wards, operating rooms and therapy centers. Like any campus-based student you'll be able to use all of the school's facilities and participate in all its activities-athletics, dances, clubs and cultural events. And, as a member of the Army, you'll also have access to recreation facilities at Walter Reed, including a movie theater, tennis courts, swimming pool and bowling alleys. As you probably know, being in the service rates you many extra privileges, too: free medical care, membership in the Officers' Oub, shopping at the PX, and a chance to hitch rides on military planes when you go home to see the folks.

At a recent ·symposium between WRAI N administrators and high school seniors from the Washington area, teens were particularly eager to find out what happens after graduation. First, of course, you have to go through the same procedure a<; any graduate and satisfactorily pass a state examination ·to get your license as a registered nurse. Then you're appointed a second lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps. At this point the challenge and excitement of being an Army nurse really begins .
What will I be doing? Treating everyone from babies to 99-year-olds, not just military personnel. Where will I be stationed? It could be anywhere in the world. What arc my chances of being sent to Vietnam? This, as you might imagine, was the big question on everyone's mind. Replied Major Patricia Mmcr, WRAJN's deputy director: "At the present time our policy is that a new graduate is not sent overseas on his or her ' first Army assignment. You would go to a medica!

unit in the United States so that you can practice your profession in a more controlled situation." She went on t,o add, however, that "after about a year you certainly arc eligible for ovei'Scas duty but you have lots of choices throughout the world. We have hospitals in Germany, Italy, Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, Okinawa. It's not only Vietnam." Can I choose my a<>signment? Definitely because when you apply for your commission, you fill out a preference sheet listing three plaq::s you'd like to go and why. Suppose you're aiming for a master's degree in psychiatric nursing. Your choice of assignment would be from among hospitals specializing in this field. As far as they arc able, the Army will try to meet your preferences. Isn't the Army awfully regimented? Naturally, there are rules and regulations but what job doesn't have them? One teen, worried about restrictions on her freedom, put this question to a nurse who had recently returned from Vietnam: ''Has being in the Army changed your life?" "Well," said First Lt. EderJc, "I could never have gone to Southeast Asia by myself if it wasn't for the Army. I couldn't have gone shopping in Hong Kong or had such an exciting time in Okinawa. A lot is expected of you in the Army but you get a lot in return." Lt. Edcrle, incidentally, is one WRAIN alumnus who docs not plan to remain in the Army after her three years are over. "I'm married," she explained, "and I hope to start a family one day. Otherwise, I'd stay." That brings up one of the few "rules" that WRAIN graduates must follow. While both men and women Army nurses arc allowed to marry while on active duty, "women may not have dependent<; under 18 years of age." (Translation: a girl can't have children until her service is over.) This ruling docs not apply to male nurses. The Army makes no objection if a WRAIN nurse decides to resign after fulfilling her obligation. Furthermore, they don't feel in any way shortchanged. For an unbeatable education and a stimulating career, the WRAIN route to nursing is hard to top.

This is a smog chamber. And regularly a group of carefully screened volunteers gather in a room at the GM Research Laboratories in Warren, Michigan. They • seat themselves around the 5-foot by 9-foot stainless steel chamber. At a signal from a researcher, they move close to the chamber and peer in through small individual portholes. These people are exposing their eyes to artificial smog. It's all part of a study that GM's been working on for years to find out what effects various automobile exhaust mixtures have on smog formation and eye irritation. Inside the chamber, hundreds of lights closely simulate the spectrum of the Los Angeles noonday sun ... and trigger the complex chemical reactions that result in smog. GM's research has already paid some rich dividends. Recently, for example, our chemists discovered and ·identified a compound in the smog chamber that's 200 times more potent than formaldehyde, a known eye irritant. Their discovery may pave the way to improved fuels and automobile controls. Already such basic research has helped our engineers develop emission controls installed on all new GM cars. These control systems reduce by two-thirds the pollution levels of 10 years ago! Smog-free Amer:ica may not arrive tomorrow, but the prospect is brighter. GM is seeing to it. 0 0f5
