VOL. V, NO. 15

This year's Senior Class President, Cal Lewis has been very active in and out of school. Besides being an excellent athlete, Cal is a member of National Honor Society, Brotherhood Society, M‑Club, and also winner of the S.A.R. award.

In athletics Cal has been on the Varsity football and baseball teams. Also he has been a member of the track and basketball teams. During the summer Cal has worked with the Park District as a coach.

After graduation Cal plans to attend Iowa State University on an athletic scholarship. He hopes to play football and baseball at Iowa.

Outside of school Cal has been very active in church affairs. He is captain and chairman of the high school ushers at the First Congregational Church of Des Plaines. He also has helped by acting as narrator in the annual Christmas Pageant.

As pet peeves Cal lists "girls who wear those very lavish hairdos and make fools of themselves." Cal keeps himself very busy with sports and a special senior girl. His favorite form of recreation would be either football or basketball.

"I enjoy working under pressure," revealed Phil Hway, Senior Class Vice‑President. "In two nights, I wrote 'Little Jeffrey,' which was performed by the Show Band!"

Phil, who has played in the Show Band since he's been at West, has been accepted at and plans to enter Harvard University in the fall. "I'm really looking forward to Harvard, especially since Jeff Clement and John Gabbert are going. We should have a real swinging time," exclaimed Phil. "At Harvard, I'd like to go out for rowing and wrestling and perhaps play some intramural Rugby."

Phil is one of the most talented pianists the Show Band has seen in some time and yet doesn't plan to enter music. When queried about this, he re­plied, "I had thought about a musical career, but there is too much of a factor of luck involved in being successful," adding quickly, "I am going to try to get a job playing in a lounge in Boston. That's good part‑time employment."

In the field of academic pursuits, Phil has been a member of National Honor Society for two years, an avid history fan who "reads a lot," and a future medical student.

"A person should be straightforward. Who are you if you're not yourself?" queried Phil, quickly turning the tables. Phil tries to be "straightforward and honest, without hurting anyone."

Phil has been active in class activities, last year, as Junior Class President, directing the building of the Junior Classs Homecoming float which "collapsed as it came onto the field, and as the chairman of his Junior Prom.

Phil is a member of the Brotherhood Society, which seems to indicate that his program of "straightforwardness" must make him very popular and well‑thought‑of by his classmates.

"Is that right!" exclaims Nancy Julitz uttering her favorite expression. This brown‑eyed brown‑haired, 5 foot 8 inch senior is secretary of her class this year.

Nancy is currently the Senior Class Council representative to Student Council. She belongs to Aquiana and says her favorite form of recreation is swimming.

As for pet peeves, Nancy ranks "freshmen who don't watch where they're going" very high. She also dislikes the loss of the student lounge.

Nancy's junior year was her best. "I've learned a lot in high school, but mainly how to get along with people." English has been her favorite subject. If Nancy could change something about herself, she would "get a pair of green eyes."

"School spirit is getting better. The baseball games have had a wonderful turnout, and this season has improved our spirit."

Nancy talks with pride of her brother Bill Julitz '60, who is graduating from Massachusetts Institute of Technology this spring.

A trip to California is something Nancy would like to do this summer, but the only definite plans for her future are college. She will attend Western Illinois University and work toward a degree in teaching.

The signs around the school promoting reading finally aroused the attention of Martha Muncy '64, treasurer of the Senior Class. Just recently she read Mrs. Hen Goes to Market to her drama class, while playing the role of Aunt Martha. Marty's favorite subjects lean towards drama and speech.

This grey‑eyed, blonde‑haired senior girl could be used as a synonym for the word active. "My senior year was my most active. I was co‑managing editor of The Westerner, Student Director at the Fashion Show, The Westerner representative to Student Council, and a senior leader."

"Working as Marilynn Skeppstrom's campaign manager was one of my most thrilling experiences," divulges Marty. "It was hectic, but I loved every minute of the fun and suspense."

As for being a class officer Martha feels that "it taught me to accept responsibility." Her opinion on Maine is that it is a terrific school. "The friendly co‑operation between the students and the faculty is to be highly commended," brags 'Munchie.'

Her friendly nature and sense of humor won Marty a Brotherhood Award. She was also accepted in the Quill and Scroll National Honor Society.

This vivacious senior's plans include studying at Illinois State College at Normal. After college she hopes to teach kindergarten.
