We, the annual staff, on behalf of the graduating Seniors of 19 56, proudly dedicate this fourth edition of "The Shield" to our Senior sponsor and friend, Mrs. Ethel Davison.

She,

because of her seemingly endless patience, has invested countless hours ofwork and sacrifice into our every need, and has been undoubtedly a deciding factor in our obtaining the coveted rank of graduates.

Westside started the season off with a bang by defeating Bellevue 18-0. Chambers' 80-yard run sparked the Warriors in a game which was also blessed with rain and a dusty wind.

Westside continued their winning ways by trouncing Blair 31-6. Kiser and Fischer played an outstanding game and the Warriors rolled to an easy victory.

The Warriors blasted their arch rival Ralston 24-0.

Rod Fosler was an outstanding lineman in this longawaited rematch of a now traditionalbattle.

We romped past Plattsmouth in an easy victory, 39-0. Steve Dickinson's spectacular broken field running paced the Warriors' efforts.

Fremont, Westside's first Class A foe, tumbled before the smooth Warrior attack, 34-12.

Monroe and Sipherd, our hardcharging guards, helped smother the Pioneer's attack.

Ashland furnished the Warrior s with their stiffest c ompetition, but Westside emerged victorious by a score of 20-13. Kiser and Fischer led the way with their reckless broken-field running.

Valley was a stepping stone to the big Homecoming game with Columbus.

Nevertheless, the Warriors played their usual sharp game with Woodford's center play and Millett's crisp blocks opening the way to a 2 7-0 win.

Westside's was again victorious when Columbus fell before the onslaught of the powerful Westside team. Shelley, Nielson, and Daniels provided W e stside with a stiff defense.

Westside closed their victorious season by downing the Wahoo eleven 20-0. Anderson and Barnhart stood out in this, the final game for the Warriors.

Westside's first undefeated season was due not only to the tremendous team-work shown by the boys and the great coaching of Mr. Morrison and Mr. Hoyt, but also to the unity of followers, both school and adult, with our whole squad.

FRONT ROW, left to right: Pat Fischer. Jim Anderson, Rod Fosler, Ron Saffer. STANDING: Mr. Koch. SECOND ROW: Terry Hill, Steve Dickinson. THIRD ROW : Dave Humphry, Ernie Noel, Don Hunt, Tom Wilson. FOURTH ROW: Dan Daniels, Terry Kiser, Bob Kovarik, Bobby Saffer. BACK ROW: John Lovgren.

Our winning ways carried over from football into our basketball season this year, for we had the best season in our history. During the regular season we won thirteen while dropping only five, and three of these games were lost by only one, two, and three points. Our team was sparked this year by the fine balance and team spirit displayed during the season. Rod Fosler performed well at the pivot, while Don Hunt and Pat Fischer displayed amazing ballhandling and dogged defense. Tt:rry Kiser and Jim Anderson sparked the team with their timely rebounding and jump shots.

We started our season at Plattsmouth where we dropped a disappointing 49-48 ball game . In our first home game we were edged by Columbus, one of the better teams in the state, by 56-58. Despite these losses everyone realized our potential and we knew that we would win a lot of ballgames. We then started to roll, and our win streak began. We beat Millard 68-51, Elkhorn 64-49, Wahoo 64-58, Blair 88-61. and Ralston 74-32. We then entered the Ak-Sar-Ben Conference Tournament at Wahoo. We played sensational ball in this tournament and brought home the First Place Trophy, Westside's first in tournament play. We had little trouble with our opponents, beating Auburn the first night 74-43, then Bellevue 72-58, and on the last night we blasted Tecumseh 68-32 for the Championship.

After this grind of three ballgames in as many days, we had to play the next night at Valley. This game will long be remembered because we set a new scoring record by swamping them, 100-63. Our next game was against a strong Sidney team. In one of the most exciting contests of the year, we edged them, 60-59. We then traveled to Nebraska City and pounded them, 68-51. We played a very smooth Lincoln University High team, and their sharp-shooting earned them an 81-59 victory. This snapped our winning streak at 11 games. We met our arch-rival Bellevue on our home court and, in one of our best games, crushed them, 76-44. Our squad next defeated Ashland, 81-40. Westside followed with one of those "cold" nights at Lincoln Southeast and subsequently lost, 52-49. We closed our regular season against Fremont, one of the best AA teams in the state, and were overrun, 81-60. The following week we entered our District's Tournament, met Plattsmouth, and came out on the long end of a 62-50 score. Our next game pitted us against Nebraska City, one of our early-season victims. Though controlling the exciting ballgame throughout most of the contest, the last few seconds found our State Tournament hopes shattered, 74-70.

We owe much of our success this past season to the fine coaching of Mr. Koch and Mr. Hoyt. Much credit is also due to the fine reserve strength afforded by Bob Kovarik, Terry Hill, Steve Dickinson, Ron Saffer, Ernie Noel, Dave Humphry, Tom Wilson, and Jody Stocker.

"The Student Council is a representative body with the purpose of coordinating student activities, bettering the relationship of student and faculty. and serving as an intermediary whereby both the students and faculty can express and formulate new ideas for the better government of the school."

This is the purpose of the Westside Student Council as stated in its Constitution. At present, the council consists of fifteen members, three from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, and two from the seventh , eighth, and ninth grades.

This year the council has met every day to have either a general meeting or to have a meeting of the committees. At the beginning of the year the officers established three standing committees to discuss and solve the problems of the council. These are the Convocation Committee, the School Spirit Committee , and the Citizenship Committee. Since the council sets up the convocation schedule for the school year, tire first committee handles all difficulties that might arise from this schedule. The School Spirit Committee is to do all it can on the subject of promoting proper school spirit. The Citizenship Committee has the broadest field of all, and often, if it is busy, some of its duties are assigned to the other two groups.

Westside's Student Council has reached many of its goals this year, and much credit must be given to the officers--President Don Hunt, Vice-President Dave Humphry, Secretary Robin Axtell, and Treasurer Steve Dickinson, and to the sponsor, Mr. Wells.

The Hi-Y is a boy's club which is affiliated with the Y.M.C.A., and includes boys from the tenth through the t we 1ft h grades. The club is a service organization and strives "to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character."

The Vice-President invites speakers to almost every meeting, and varied topics such as psychology, pro-football, the Better Business Bureau, and the Armed Services are discussed. The club plans its projects, its two annual parties, and how to divide and donate its funds at the bi-monthly general meetings.

The Hi-Y included in its man y duties and services this year the job of cleaning up and dismantling after the annual Westside carnival, and it sold school directories to all of the students. The club collects the material for and sells these directories every year. It holds inter-denominational church services for the student body, which are held before the first morning class. Ministers from all over the city are asked to speak at these gatherings.

During Lent, these services are held every day during Holy Week.

One of the most important yearly projects in which the Westside Hi-Y takes part is the "Youth In Government" day. This is a mock legislative meeting held in the State Legislature at Lincoln and every Hi-Y group in the state is represented. This year, the Westside Hi-Y feels very fortunate in that one of their own mock bills was passed.

The first major activity of the Girls' Athletic Pep Club was to sponsor the Homecoming Dance. Committees of girls did all the planning and decorating that made the dance the success that it was.

The next project of the G. A. P. was to initiate our new members. Part of the initiation took place during school, and the other activities were held in the evening at a city park. After the new members were all initiated, dinner was served.

In the spring of the year, our annual banquet is held. The members and their mothers are invited; and this is where the G.A.P. letters, bars, and chevrons which the girls have earned are presented. This same night the officers of the club for the next school year are installed.

In the spring, an overnight is also held, usually at Camp Brewster. This is a night for much fun and no sleep.

To earn a letter there is a required number of activities in which the girls must participate. For example, they much go to a certain number of games. be helpful to the club, go to intramurals, and serve at games. After they have earned a letter, they are able to work for bars and chevrons, which are earned in the same manner as letters.

This club is for girls who like to participate in sports, for on certain nights after school, intramurals are held. There is also a bowling league to which the girls may belong. The main purpose of the G.A. P., or the Pep Club as it is commonly called, is to back the team and send them on to victory.

The Westside High School Booster Club was organized in the spring of 1953.

Mr. Walt Humphry was the first president, and he remained in office until the spring of 1954. At this time new officers were elected, as they have been every following year. club consists of about 125 active members. It meets once a month and has a monthly board meeting. The board has as its members the four officers, Mr. Elley as a permanent vice-president, and the president of the past year.

Each of the officers works as a couple, so they proper way to list the present officers is: President, Dr. and Mrs. Charles Kierscht; Vice-President, Mr. and Mrs. ChuckSpaulding; Secretary, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Smiley; Treasurer, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Nelson.

The aim of this organization as stated in its constitution is this: "The purpose of this organization shall be to further the welfare of the youth of the community and to strengthen the bonds between the school and the community."

The Booster Club has followed through in its aims with some real accomplishments. The club has one large money-making project every year. This is the West side carnival, held every fall on the high school football field. This carnival has been held since the fall of 1953, and every year its profits have increased. Last year it netted at least $2,900.

The profit made by the carnival is used for the benefit of both the school and its community. The club sponsors the Boy Scouts and donates to their cause.

Gradually, it has bought a good share of the school's band uniforms. The high school library has increased every year through the club. Every year money is given for the winter and summer athletic programs. The Booster Club has paid all the expenses for Boys' and Girls' State every year, bought two popcorn machines, a reading machine, a football scoreboard and clock, and quite a bit of kitchen equipment for Westside. The club has given Mr. Retelsdorf money for stage equipment and has even bought new grass seed for the football field after the carnival. Their main civic accomplishment was a door-to-door drive for a Pacific Street sidewalk for the Westside students. The Shield itself can thank the Booster Club for its generous donation this year of a camera for the audio-visual department.

The Westside High School Booster Club is truly a credit to our school and community.

A huge bonfire at dusk started the Homecoming festivities at Westside this year. The cheerleaders kindled excitement with their cheers and enthusiasm.

As a climax, a large shield, standing for the Columbus team, was toss¡ed into the flames. The group disbanded, singing "Fight on, Westside" as they left the field.

The football game with Columbus followed the bonfire. Westside's football team again showed its strength by a convincing 20-6 defeat of Columbus.

To add to the color of the occasion, the drill squad did precision marching to the music of the school band at the half. This was a very colorful performance and boosted the already enthusiastic homecoming spirit.

The school gym was beautifully decorated for the Homecoming Dance, which followed the football game.

Gaily colored balloons were strung from the ceiling, and two large thrones for the king and queen were placed in the center of the stage. North High School's Dance Bob Zampese and Ron and Sue Band played for dancing. The candiBarnhart. dates for queen, chosen by the Junior Class, were Robin Axtell, Marla Ferry, Jeanne Gordon, Susie Matthews, Jill McKibben, and Karen VanAmburgh.

Jim Anderson, Ron Barnhart, Jim Chambers, Dick Gilmore, Don Hunt, and Dick Woodford were the candidates for king. Ron Barnhart and Marla Ferry were crowned Homecoming King and Queen by their predecessors to the throne, Bob Zampese and Sue Henderson.

Everyone agreed that Westside's Homecoming was an occasion to be long remembered.

The 1955-56 WHS "Warrior" marching and concert band represents an impressive giant-step tit Mr. Darwyn Snyder's future plans for the WHS instrumental music department. Combining the talents of 43 WHS students, the band has presented itself outstandingly not only as a flashy precision unit during the football season, but also as an exciting concert organization during the remaining school year. This year the band took trips to Nebraska University's annual Band Day and the Aksarben Conference Band Clinic at Plattsmouth in addition to the usual yearly jaunt to the District Music Contest festivities at Fremont. The organization proper produced many unique small groups for performance at various programs and contests, including a brass sextet, a saxophone quartet, a trombone trio, and a clarinet quartet. There have also been a few small impromtu groups that have sprung up independently from the original organization, such as the Softones, a dance band, and the Hungry Five, a dixieland combo. Having already acquired some new and unusual instruments, including a set of chimes, the band sold magazine subscriptions to help pay for some additionally needed uniforms. The band elected by the members of the organization, is listed as: band manager, Bob Kovarik; secretary, Meroe Harvey; treasurer, Julie Harvey; drum major, Calvin Carlson; uniform manager, Earlene Durrant; and librarian, Phil Robbins. Mr. Snyder, in addition to organizing all these activities, is attempting to build a future band of larger membership by spon an extensive grade school instrumental program.

The Softone's- and the Hungry Five are tow musical groups that have emerged from the ranks of the instrumental music department to fame not only within WHS but also the surrounding area. The Softones officially established themselves as our school's dance band this term after making their debut last year. Acquiring instruments and personnel, they have received many engagements from some of our neighboring schools, besides playing for our own school dances. The Hungry Five's origin also dates back to 1954, when a few of the band members first got together for an old-time "jam session". Making their first public appearance in this year's What- Not, they added members (though still retaining their original name}, color, and a slight bit of comedy to become a delightful Dixieland aggregation.
