The Emblem THE West High School emblem which is so prominently featured throughout this book, is the result of a contest, conducted by the Hesperian Board, for the purpose of obtaining an emblem or symbol that would fitly represent the school. Various and good designs were submitted, but the design drawn by Chester Moody, ’ll, was considered to be most satisfactory in all respects and was therefore chosen for first place. It is the desire of the Hesperian Board of the Class of 1910. that this emblem be accepted as the official West High School seal, and that it be placed upon all printed matter, which is hereafter published by the various organizations of West High School. The Hesperian Board, 1910. Seven ALBERT N. OZIAS Principal To the June Class of 1910 LAST year West High School had no history. Its greeting to its friends and patrons was limited to a statement of its aims, desires and ambitions. Today with scarcely more than a year of effort, we note with commendable pride a substantial progress toward a realization of its goal. All of our activities, including Class Work. Musical. Literary and Athletic organizations, are progressing with rapid strides. In so far as opportunity has afforded a comparison of strength with the other High schools of the city. West can have no reason to feel abashed. While all honor is due those who pioneered in the various organizations last year, the pictures displayed in this year’s Annual of our Foot-Ball. Hockey and Debating teams will be scanned with an added interest and enthusiasm. All classes have contributed to this general result, yet we cannot refrain from congratulating the class of June. 10, in particular, for the leading part it has performed in bringing the school to its present level. As to the future, let us hope that our ideals will grow with the years and that the school with a closer union will exert a still greater influence and power. Albert N. Ozias.

It has been an enjoyable task to compile this book and as wc have done our best to make it a good one we hope that it will meet with the earnest approval of its readers. This was our first attempt at publishing a book and now that it is done, our only regret is that wc have not another one to get out. We hope that the June Class of 1911 will publish a book next year, using this book as a standard size and continuing to use the name Hesperian. IN the making of this book wc have many people to thank. Besides the faculty and students who so willingly co-operated with us to make this book possible we arc especially indebted to the Board of Control and the various organizations of the school. For business courtesies we have to thank Hahn Harmon, the printers, and especially Mr. Robertson and Mr. Olson; The Bureau of Engraving, Mr. Betting, in particular; The John Leslie Paper Co.; Miller’s Studio; The Western Architect; and Mr. Rawson, of The Minneapolis I ribune. The '10 Hesperian Board. Eleven t What Is True School Spirit? EVERYONE, I suppose, asks himself this question at sometime during his school life. It is a hard one, and yet it is one that every student must answer, whether he realizes it or not; because on his answer depends both what he does for the school and what the school does for him. I have not come to a decision yet but I have found out some things of which I feel very sure. It has often been said that the aim of the schools is to make good citizens. The state can afford to spend such great sums on its youth because it needs good citizens. It needs men with strong bodies, capable of bearing arms in time of war; men and women loo. of sound judgment and foresight; men and women of clean, wholesome morals; above all it needs men accustomed to work together, each sacrificing something of his own for the common good. Now a good school trains all of these qualities. If we are to follow the wishes of the state (as we ought to do, since it pays for our education) we ought each one of us to try to attain these four qualities, and not only one or two but all of them. A weak boy who finds studying easy should set himself first of all to build up his body; a strong boy who has trouble with his lessons should turn his attention not to athletics, but to his school work. So we ought, all of us. to devote the most time to those departments of the school—athletics, dramatics, debating, the different studies, or whatever they may be—that will do us the most good. The best thing one can do for the school, it seems to me, is the best thing one can do for oneself. Nothing that harms oneself can be good for the school. That may sound like Mr. Cook’s offer to boil water till it freezes, but if you will think it over, you will see that the best thing you can possibly do for your school is to make a man or woman of yourself. Earnestness, devotion, can make up for a deficiency in the rest, either in the nation or in the school. Fred Tryon. Tvctlct Week Bruchholz Van Duzee South worth Lewi Hayward Tumy The West High Athletic Association IN THE West High School, athletics form an important part in the interest and life of all the students. With the organization of this school, the necessity of organizing the athletics became evident. As all departments of the school are founded upon system and careful planning, it seemed advisable to organize the athletics. Mr. Ozias appointed a committee of three, consisting of Mr. Hayward, chairman, with Noyes Bright and Robert DeVoe of the students, to devise some form of central athletic management. This committee very effectively drew up the constitution of the West High Athletic Association, with the object of being representative of the student body, as to authority and power to act. 1 his constitution was adopted by the school and thereafter all matters relative to football, baseball, track, tennis or hockey come before this association. All students of the school who desire, may become members upon payment of the annual dues of fifty-cents. Meetings of the association are held at least twice a year, once in May and once in October, but meetings may be held at any time, upon call of the president or upon request of ten members. 1 he Athletic Association is made up of all students who have athletic Fourteen interests, but for quick and direct control, in a satisfactory and agreeable manner, it is necessary to have a few individuals organized within the general association. This body is known as the executive committee or board of control. By the constitution, these officers are as follows: the first members are the chairman and treasurer, chosen from the faculty. At present these are Mr. Hayward and Mr. Soulhworth. The remaining five members arc made up of three students from the senior class as follows: Phil Lewis. Earl I umy. and James Weeks. Two members must be chosen from the junior class; the present members are Frederick Bruchholz and Harold Van Duzee. Mr. Bruchholz is secretary and Mr. Weeks is assistant treasurer. The secretary, by the constitution is chosen from the association members by such members, but the assistant-treasurer is elected from and by the executive committee. The board of control meets every Monday when necessary. All officers of the executive committee arc expected to meet upon call, hear reports, to discuss suggestions from any of the student body, control all moneys, and elect a coach or director of each team. The constitution prescribes the duties and requirements for department member-chip, managers and organization. 1 he executive committee elects who shall receive awards as W's, sweaters and jerseys. It may be interesting to know of the financial side of the association for the past season.

About Foot Ball in 1910 ONE of ihe things which has compelled Minnesota to recognize West High School, is the football team that represented this institution in the season just passed, that of 1909. West did not lose a game and as this is only the second football team that has represented this school in its existence the fourteen men who won their letters are proud of their work. Football in Minneapolis is conducted in such a competent manner that every year brings out five high school teams which are the equal of any high school team in the country. University coaches claim that it takes two or three years to lay a foundation for a championship team among universities. One would think that this rule would follow in high school, but evidently it does not. for we laid our foundation one year and won the championship the next. This school deserved a champion team, for at each game supporters of West outnumbered and outyelled those of other schools. West has a school spirit seldom seen in a high school and it is to be hoped it will always have it. Looking at the season from a financial point of view nothing but success can be seen. West spent more money in looking after its players and made more above all its expenses than any other high school in the city and by this policy the Athletic Board has done its part in winning the championship. And last, but not least. West had two excellent coaches this season. It is the unanimous opinion among the members of the team that “Lex and Ed. Chestnut are largely responsible for our victories and one of the best things that can happen for football at West is to have these two men coaching its football team next year.

Lees Malison THE SECOND TEAM A Championship Team for 1910 EVERY day the football players who played with the 1909 team are asked the question: “Will West High have another championship team in 1910?“ We think so! We think that we arc to have a team which will surpass the team of the season just past. We lose Tumy, our last ycar‘s captain. Hopwood. Austin. Lauritzen. Lewis. Wheaton and others, but we hope for new material and with the material which we already have are sure of a good team. This year we are looking forward to a few out of town games as well as the city games. I would say that West has never had such a good opportunity as she has this year of having a championship team. Parker Tenney. Captain. 1910. Eighteen Review of the Season AS THE 1909 football season approached, the natural question of what kind of a team will we have this year was the conversation of nearly every boy in West High School. All the schools of the city had good material to start the season, but the determination for a championship team among the West boys was not to be equaled. October 15th, West lined up against East for the first game of the season. The game was hard fought from beginning to end. Score: West, 1 I ; East, 0. A week later, the 22nd, was the big game with Central. It was a great game and showed the individual work of the team. Score, 17 to 0-Mechanics Arts was the next on the schedule. Score, 0 to 0. On the 6th of November. West was in the height of training and played their hardest game against North. Score, 0 to 0. On November I 3th South was defeated, on a field of mud and water, by a score of 10 to 6. giving West the title, “State High School Champions.” Vest-wAHO ho' ‘it Sinclair Williams Mackin Wheaton Walker Hudson H. Lees Griswold Shannon Plank Haines Crawford Weiskopf Hale SENIOR TEAM Inter- Clan Champions The Inter-Class Games ON THE Tuesday following the close of West’s football season, the first two of these games were played at Nicollet Park. The Juniors first played the Freshmen. The contest was much closer than it was at first expected it would be. Weight told, however, and. after a long sec-saw contest, the Juniors managed to push the ball over the Freshman’s goal. No goal was attempted and the score was 5-0. This game stopped here so as to give the Seniors and Sophomores a chance to battle before dark. Ticenty-one ■■■ ■ B ■■■ This game was nearly a repetition of the first, the Senior team being heavier, and. therefore, able to wear their opponents away. It resulted in a 5-0 score for the Seniors. Here the game was called as it was already quite dark, and a continuation of the game would have been useless. The next Friday the Seniors and Juniors met for a battle-royal on the Parade grounds. The two teams were very nearly of the same weight and the individual players were well matched. This game was played in two '‘halves.’’ The first one lasted for one hour and ten minutes, in which time neither team was able to score. After a fifteen-minute rest they went at it again with the Seniors looking the best. I he Junior line soon wore down and most of the gains in this half were made through the line. After about thirty minutes of play the Seniors started a march right down the field with line plays through the guards and a touchdown was the result. This meant the Championship for the Seniors, for here the game was brought to a close. These inter-class games showed two things. First, that there is class spirit, as well as school spirit, in West Fligh School; and second, that there is enough football material in these classes to produce Championship school teams for the next three years.

Overlook UNDER the leadership of the capable little captain, Orth, the hockey team repeated its record of last year, by winning its second championship. Through the influence of Dr. Keen, physical director of the Minneapolis Public Schools, we obtained a rink from the Park Board. The article of hockey played by the team this year was far superior to that of the previous year, and the team was more than gratified in the way the school supported the game. Although hard luck attended the team at various periods, they redoubled their determination, and came through with colors flying. North was the first team to fall before the West ( puck chasers ) by the count of 6-0. Next Central was taken into camp and defeated by the score of 4-0. South proved somewhat weaker, and were beaten 8-0. East was the next team to suffer defeat, score 6-0. I he second round was but a repetition Ttcenlt - four of the first. North was again beaten 11-2. The second game with Central proved to be the fastest and most exciting of year, as the championship was practically between these two teams. However, West played a clever game of hockey and defeated Central 3-2. East was again beaten 5-0. The season ended by West defeating South 7-0. I otal points: West, 45; Opponents, 4. Every man on the squad deserves much credit for the sportsmanlike conduct that was displayed throughout the season. The following were awarded their W's : Orth, Callaway, Bruce. Ganslc, Brown. Thompson. Overlock. Inter-Class Basket-Ball ON ACCOUNT of our not having any gymnasium of our own it was necessary that West High should go without any regular school team in basket-ball. This did not interfere, however, with the inter-class games. With little or no practice, teams representing each class of the school, met at Cooke's Gymnasium on Friday evening March II. for the class championship. The gallery and floor was crowded with supporters of their various teams. The Freshmen and Juniors played their game first. The Freshmen equalled the Juniors in playing ability, but the men of ‘I I were so much heavier that the weight counted and they won by a narrow margin. Next the Sophinores and Seniors went to it. This was the closest game of the evening and neither side was sure of victory until the game was over. The Seniors won. Then the Juniors and Seniors went at it after a short interval for rest. This game was practically a walk away for the Seniors. 1 hey won by a score of 18 to 6— thus winning the inter-class championship for their class. I he boys that played on the Senior team were as follows: 1 umy, Haines. McCarthy, Thomson. Cobb, Plank. Twenty}-five Fcelcy Rom Gee Robertson Scott Track Team IT IS A hard proposition to say anything of interest of a track team, as early as it is necessary to write this article, for serious training has just begun, and there have been no interscholastic meets in which the team might test its worth. It has. however, got an excellent start, and there is an abundance of spirit and enthusiasm among those fellows who really intend to go into the sport with an earnestness. I hrough the courtesy of Dr. Grant, of the University, the team has the use of the Armory indoor track lor one morning each week, and this is a great help toward putting the men in a fit condition. 1 he hard outdoor work will come as soon as the weather warms up sufficiently to allow it. Albert J. Robertson was re-elected manager from last year, and he has had charge of the team since the season opened, with its winter training in the latter part of December. At a meeting several weeks ago Alvin Scott was chosen as captain for 1910. and with his aid. both as a runner and leader, there is no reason why West High’s track team should not be one of the first rank. Albert J. Robertson, Manager. Twenty-Six William Thomson Chapin Tennis UNFORTUNATELY interscholastic tennis is divided into two seasons by the summer vacation. This necessitates the holding of two tournaments, one in the spring and the other in early fall. The three winners of the spring matches arc sent to Decphaven. where they compete for the interscholastic championship of the northwest. “W's” arc awarded to this team by the Athletic Board. Last spring it was composed of: Harold Williams................................Champion Harold Chapin................................Second Man Everett Cox...................................Third Man While West did not show up wonderfully well, the tournament gave the men valuable experience for the coming 1910 championship. The Fall Tournament is really held only for practice and to keep up the Tuxnty.scocn interest in the game. No Ws are awarded to members of this team. After nearly a month of playing the following were chosen: Everett Cox ................................. Champion Mctellus Thomson................................Second Man Henry Reedy......................................Third Man Owing to the delay in finishing the matches, no meetings with other schools were held. In the three tournaments thus far held in this school, great interest has been shown, and from twenty to thirty candidates have entered for the three positions. 1 his spring it will be started extra early, and even more candidates are both looked and hoped for.

And the proof of a school is in its Alumni. To be sure, high scholarship within the school, and sturdiness of character, among the students, count for much. Yet the world judges the man or woman, not by his or her school life, but by the results of the schooling. That school which sends out into the world or on to higher places of learning, men who are capable of steady application and profession in their chosen careers,—that school is the best school. A school is not alone a place where youth is taught the three R’s (1 am considering now the High School and University) ; a school is the place where the boy enters and the man comes out. In this formative period the High School plays much the more important part. Rarely docs the High School graduate, possessed of a good moral standard, go wrong. It is in High School that the tide of a boy’s life drags him down to degeneracy or pulls him up to the level of a Man. Therefore, let every student at West High School struggle towards graduation. striving not only for personal success, but for that much broader end, true Manhood or true Womanhood. West High is a new school. I raditions and standards have not yet grown about it, nor been raised within it, by classes upon classes of now illustrious citizens. It is for us. Alumni and Students, to raise such standards. Work must, above all, be faithfully done. School spirit must be fostered by enthusiasm in Scholarship, in Debate, in Athletics, and in occasional social affairs. Class organizations must not die out after graduation. The Alumni must be well organized and ready to help in any work of advancement. ' In the present day. one travels across this great continent in five or six days. But when America was new. our forefathers struggled thru wilderness and over prairie, across valley and over mountain. It was a long, hard journey. So, in a sense, are we pioneers. And we have a tremendous task before us. We may lose our way at times. But. always, let us return to the road which leads steadily on to Accomplishment and Success. M. E. Moore, Jr., ’09. Thirty-two Bad Boy s Dream 1 DREAMED I saw an awful sight Last night as I lay sleeping; I saw a great, tall, sheeted ghost And goblins ’round him peeping. And as I looked, this sheeted spook Turned blacker than the night. And with his blazing coal-red eyes He glared with all his might. With long, uncanny arm stretched out. He pointed straight at me. Then slowly gliding, he drew near, A-groaning horribly. His icy. death-like, clammy hand He pressed upon my head. And all the little goblins came And danced upon my bed. Then one wild desperate shriek I gave And from this dream awoke. And all the little elves ran off A-laughing at their joke. A. T. G. Thirty-three The Four Bells THERE are four bells in West Side High. And each one tells a different tale. The first three cause us but to sigh, I he last one turns our faces pale. The first bell rings out harsh and straight. And echoes thru the corridors long. It tells us that tis ten past eight. Ten minutes yet for romp and song. And then bell two peals forth, alive. And to us all it does proclaim That time has reached 8:35, And silence now alone must reign. Next then bell three sounds, fresh and perty. And gives a warning to us all That now the time is just eight thirty; Three minutes 'fore the late gong’s call. So now bell four brings up the rear. And makes us know, with tones of weight. That if we are not now all here We surely must be very late. And so in this same order sure. These bells peal forth each passing day. And give us messages galore Concerning rules during school hours stay. L Envoi When our last flunking is finished, and the marks are posted and filed, When the oldest plus minus is written, and the latest minus has riled. We shall rest, and faith we shall need it, lie down for a minute or two. Till the Profs, at the University shall put us to work anew. And those that are sharks shall be happy; they shall shine in their history. And with but a glance at mathematics shall solve every mystery. They shall find real subjects to delve in. too many to recall. They shall recite in every class room, and never fail at all. And only the E’s shall praise them and never the blue slips blame. They shall work for Phi Beta Kappa, and every kind of fame. And each in his study chamber, and each in the lecture hall, Shall endeavor to be approved by teachers, one and all. 7 hirty-four Hestor Camp. A Perilous Venture AN ATTEMPT far more hazardous than that of trying to discover the North Pole was Commander Ozias’ endeavor to annihilate the Fifteen-Minute Period. It was in the autumn of 1909, when the officers summoned the crew on board the good ship “West bound for the Salt sea, and requested the crew to prepare for the voyage. They felt that they were forced into taking this unpleasant journey as the Cook, the Baker, and the Brewer had joined forces with the officers. There was no alternative and so they started. I he Fifteen-Minute Period had always flourished and no sailor had been daring enough to Try-on so venturesome a role as the capturing of it. first Mate Hayward exclaimed, “At the West there is a great Dun-bar, and Watts the use of striking it?” Up spoke the officer Holz, I’ll bet a Penny we do not come near the Dun-bar with our ship, if we Ster-ret the right way. They sailed past the village of Mandeville and at the I owns-end they saw the point where the Andalusian Brooks Du-flos into the sea. The valiant officers sailed on and for months tried to take the Fifteen-Minutc Period, but of no avail. The crew was overworked, the officers discouraged and when mutiny seemed inevitable the Parsons advised the abandonment of the undertaking. The officers were obliged to admit themselves defeated. So they turned the ship homeward, to the great joy of the crew, and left the Fifteen-Minute Period unmolested. Catherine D. Leland. Thirty-five We Love Our Teacher, But Oh You Lessons I. MISS West likes her Geometry; Miss Holtz her William Tell; Miss Griffith likes her Senior-Comp.; Miss Caplin, HCL. And each of these most worthy ones, Demands first-class deportment; And each one thinks right honestly. Her subject most important. II. Each one of them stands up each day. And faces toward the school; And gives out lessons of a length That would make hot lead turn cool. And then they say in sweetest tones. That quiver soft and low, “That the lessons really arc too short. But it’s as fast as wc can go.” III. We like the teachers, yes, we do. But we wish that they would try And remember that we're human beings. And that human beings die; And that when they make assignments For each succeeding day, They’d kindly just remember There are other books to slay. Thirty-six The Road to Wisdom OH TO be a Senior!” I he little Freshman sighs “A dignified, bright Senior. So wondrous, wondrous wise.” Not so the worthy Sophomore. Fie envies none their lore. For he thinks it impossible For a human to know more. The Junior really thinks I hat to speak, to read, to spell. He could instruct his teachers. And do it very well. The Senior, struggling hard. Plus minuses to earn Admits so modestly He has just begun to learn. And so the Freshman works. To get his lessons tough. The Sophomores and Juniors flunk. The Seniors merely bluff. Ruth Kerridge. Farewell GOOD bye, dear mates, I say good bye, and in no joking play. To us, dear friends, The time has come, to wend our separate way. And tho, dear mates. We never meet, God grant it that we may. Say so. dear friends. Your hearts and thoughts be with us night and day, And if, dear mates. In years to come, great sorrows rush upon us; Step up, dear friends. And cheer us on. and prove one blessing’s left us. And say. dear mates. You still recall, the days long since gone by. When we, good friends. Were students all, in dear old West Side High. Leonard L. Weiskopf. THE SECOND season of the West High Orchestra was opened by a program given before the school, on the 24th of November, previous to the Thanksgiving holidays. The numbers were received with appreciation. During the past, and beginning of the present season, the orchestra made great progress under the splendid leadership of Mr. John D. Heising, of this school. Unfortunately, however, Mr. Heising went west, and for some time the orchestra was at a standstill. Mr. Noonan, of the Symphony Orchestra, then took charge, and under his leadership, the orchestra played several difficult selections, with success, at the January Commencement. In addition to Edward fowler, concertmeister, and Albert Robertson, both very capable violinists, who proved their ability in the previous season, the orchestra is fortunate in having with them. Miss Arline Peachey, whose conscientious and tasteful playing adds much strength to the 1st violin section. Of the woodwinds, Horton Daniels takes the lead with the flute and is indispensable to that section. Miss Ethel Harwood, the pianist, is excellent, to say the least, and is a a great support to the orchestra. With these and other excellencies, such as the violas played by Donald Hawley and Ralph Colby, the mellaphone by Donald Piat, and a strong second violin section headed by Harold Chapin, the orchestra, with much earnest and hard work, and the loyal support of the school, hopes to win the reputation of the best amateur orchestra in the city.

Our first and second meetings were well attended, but after that, on account of difficulty in obtaining a director, they became complete failures and for a while the matter was dropped. 1 hen. encouraged by our principal. Professor Ozias. we again determined to procure a director and finally succeeded in securing the services of Mr. Lyons, director of the Gcthsemanc choir, a very capable and practised choir leader. Since then we have progressed rapidly, each meeting being well attended, and, although we have had but one public performance, that at the January graduation exercises, we think we have done fairly well. We hope to go on improving until West High School will be known through the city, not only for its football team, debating team and scholarship, but also for its glee clubs.

Miss Ednah Hall very kindly consented to again direct the club and under her efficient leadership the girls have been practicing faithfully, looking forward to singing at the January commencement exercises and in May appearing in a concert given by all of the musical organizations of West High.

As might be expected, it took some little time to work the club into proper shape and so we did not appear in public until late in December. However, the club has been received cordially on all occasions and. at times, even enthusiastically. The average attendance has been thirteen pieces, although there have been as many as twenty enrolled. What success has been achieved this winter was made possible by the fact that there was no small degree of talent. Our leader, Charnley McKinley, is a mandolin player of much experience, doing well not only as a leader, but also as a soloist. Bigger things are planned for next year and a club composed of players from all the high schools of Minneapolis is under consideration. Frank Leslie. Forty-fioc Engineers Club John H. Cook - Director Donald Farmer - Secretary; Kent Powers - President Ray Thayer - Treasurer Burns Allen - - Vice-President Arthur Mason - Librarian PUPILS on entering the physics classes are startled by the announcement: “Engineer's Club meet today.” They wonder what Mr. Cooke is springing on them now. In the first place, we have our meetings on alternating Tuesdays, thus avoiding conflit with the other school organizations. We meet shortly after school closes, either for the purpose of transacting business, or to attend a lecture on a subject of common interest. I hen. it has been so arranged that the dues collected annually are used for the subscribing for scientific journals and magazines, of which we have a good supply on hand. Members are entitled to the privilege of taking any of these for a certain length of time on application to the librarian. Many of the inventions of the day are taken up. those pertaining to electricity being the most popular. Several of the energetic members have established wireless stations not only in the school but in their homes, thus benefiting the whole club by their practical demonstrations. It is our hope to have the wonderful properties of liquid air demonstrated; but at this time it is beyond our means. Kent Powers. Wireless Club AS THE West High has taken the lead of the Minneapolis schools in the matter of wireless telegraphy, it seemed only a natural consequence that a wireless club should be organized under the banner of the green and white. This club has been successfully launched under the direction of Mr. Cook, of the physics department. Each member of the club has a wireless station of his own; his instruments being almost entirely of his own manufacture. These stations have been communicating with one another and with the central station at the school. LIST OF MEMBERS. Arthur Mason Walter Westerman Raymond Thayer Carl Hedwall Philip Edelman Chas.

THE West High Club was organized October I I th. 1909. The aims and purposes of this club can probably be best understood by quoting the objects from the conslitulion: First, Io create, maintain and extend a high standard of Christian character among high school students. “Second, To encourage high school students to further their education. Third, 1 o promote social fellowship among members of the organization. In the same week that the West High Club was formed, there was a similar organization started in East and Central high schools and since that time a club has been formed at North High school. But the clubs in this city are only a few out of many which have been formed within the last few years in the principal cities of North America. This movement is only a part of the movement which was also started several years ago among college men. Forty-seven ; Two years ago similar clubs were formed in Buffalo, New York, and the average attendance at the weekly meetings of these clubs during the past year was one hundred and seventy-seven. Thus far this year, they have had at their meetings each week between one hundred and ninety and two hunudrcd and fifty fellows. This being the Minneapolis club’s first year, we have not such large figures to present. The total membership of the four clubs is one hundred, forty of these being members of the West High school. The total average attendance each week is seventy-five. On the first Tuesday evening of every other month, a supper is held at which the members of the four clubs assemble and hear an address by some well known speaker. At our first dinner there were eighty fellows present and the speakers were Dr. Cyrus Northrop and Mr. W. F. Webster. Dick Grant, the University of Minnesota track coach, is the director or leader of the West High Club. Of. Mr. Grant nothing needs be said, save that he is one of the foremost athletic coaches in the country. The members of this oiganization are anxious to increase its membership and will be glad at any time to talk to any fellow who would like to become interested in the promotion of the objects for which this organization was formed. Frederick Bruchholz. horty eight AT the beginning of the present school year, it was thought best to divide the Literary and Debating Society into two distinct organizations. I he Literary Society decided to carry on their work along the lines of a newspaper with its various departments. In the department of Current Events. the most important topics of the day have been presented. In the department of Local Items, matters of interest to our city and school have been discussed. The Editorials written have taken up various school matters: school spirit, school athletics and debates. In the Literary department book reviews of some of the best of the new books have been given. In the department of Music all the work done has been in connection with the Wagner operas. Among the operas studied are Lohengrin. Tannhaiiser. The Flying Dutchman and Parsifal. In the Art department we have studied the most famous of the early Italian artists: Pcrugino. Fra Angelico, Michelangelo. Raphael, Andrea del Sarto, and Guido Reni. We are glad of the opportunity to present our work to the student body. We feel sure that there are many students in the school who would be interested in the work of the Literary Society. We invite investigation. Forty-nine DEBATE Our Debating Society and Team AS a feature of our school life the debating society has played a part more important than conspicuous. The society has been more characterized by its spirit than its numbers. I hose who have taken part in its activities have been zealous to an extreme, in making the organization a worthy one. In my judgment, they have met with notable success. The debating society has proven a signal benefit to those who have taken an active part in the programs; it has afforded a wholesome adjunct to our school life and ranks well with the other organizations as a means of developing the proper school spirit; it has furnished a training school for debaters—the only one we have, in fact. Out of the debating society there was developed the material for our debating team. Our society has furnished an excellent means of discovering and bringing out such talent in forensic thinking and oratorical aptitude as may be found in our student body. Our debating team for the past season was made up of two divisions. 1 he first or regular team is composed of Dean Campbell. Fred 1 ryon and William Callaway. This team has represented us in our contests with the other high schools. On the second team were enlisted the services of Harlan Frost. Marshall Dunn and Warren Bell. The actual debate that has taken place between these two teams has contributed much to our success in the formal contests. The question for debate this season was, Resolved. That Minnesota Should Adopt the Initiative and the Referendum.” In our first debate we were Fifty, assigned the defense of the affirmative side of the question. Our representatives lacked experience and not having appeared in any of these contests previously, the experienced team of North High, naturally, won the decision. In our second and third debates we defended the negative side of the question and were successful in both of our contests with South and Central. Each contest has given us added strength and confidence and we hope to win from East High in the closing debate of the season. Owing to the method of counting the votes, we are precluded from any possibility of winning the championship, but we feel well satisfied with our showing and are confident that our team will close the season with a most enviable record. ’These contests between the high schools of the city have been signalized by their clean, sportsmanlike character. The game has been strenuous, even fierce, at times. In the heat of the discussion our boys have showed the stuff they were made of and have fought the fight to the finish. In no case, however, have they allowed themselves to be carried beyond the rules of legitimate debate. It is unfortunate that the student body have not come out more generally to these contests and to support their team. However, we realize that the spirit of cooperation is growing in our school and are confident of a most generous support in the future. E. D. Baker. Fifty -one S O CIETY ■ SOCIETY DURING the past year many important social functions have been given by the West High school and its alumni. Dancing parties have made up a large majority of these. The first, a Senior dance, was given toward the latter part of November and the three other Seniors, the dance given by the Alumni of the school, and the Junior-Senior followed at short intervals throughout the remainder of the school year. The dances given by the Seniors of nineteen-ten have been of greatest success, not owing alone to the help of the Senior class but because of the splendid support given by the whole school. A series of four were given at the hall of the Minneapolis School of Music and unlike many dances the first was not the big one of the season, they all were big ones. Differing again from ones given before, each dance “paid and therefore was of no expense to the class treasury. T he hall was beautifully decorated on every occasion and there was very good music. Refreshments, an important factor to some, were served at the last three. Neat programs were designed for each meeting by several young ladies of the class. All who were called upon in any way to help the Seniors along did their very best and so to them most of the credit of success is due. The dance given by the alumni of the school was unusually successful considering the fact that there had been but one June graduating class up to that time. More will be given in the future which, from indications, will far surpass the last one. The most important social event of the year, both to Juniors and Seniors, was the Junior-Senior Dance, given on April eighth, at the new Masonic hall, by the Junior class. It far surpassed anything ever given before by the Junior classes cither at West or at the other high schools. It was a complete success, owing to the loyal work of the Junior social committee, consisting of Harold Van Duzec, chairman. Frank Leslie, Kent Powers. Chester Moody, and Katherine Bright. Ruth Egleston. Helen Holten and Irene Wilson, and the Junior class president. Frederick Bruchholtz. The hall was beautifully decorated in green Fifty-three and while, one of the best stringed orchestras in the city furnished the music, handsome embossed programs were given out. refreshments were served during the evening, and everything was delightful, and much appreciated by the Seniors. As a whole this year has been a ‘‘winner” in every way. West has again surpassed all. Fijty-fout y FRESHMEN About the Freshmen WITHOUT a doubt, the Freshman class have held their own” with any or all of the other classes. Beginning in September with an enrollment of about four hundred, to which at least one hundred and fifty more were added at the beginning of the spring term, they have taken part in all of the different organizations and contests as well as “making good” in their regular school work. At the games during the football season, members of the team say, that had it not been for the hearty support given by the school, the championship would not have gone to West. It is well to remember that the majority from any one class, in attendance on these games, were Freshmen. It is also a source of much satisfaction to us to know that two of the “first team” were Freshmen, Herman Hans, left tackle, and Clifford Pollock, left guard. The latter also was chosen for the all-star high school team. The second team as Well, had a good showing of Freshies.” In class athletics we turned out a team which played the Seniors for I hour and 22 minutes before they were scored on. The members of that team were as follows: R. E.. Tenney; L. E., Wert; R. T.. Reiter; L. T., Harding; R. G.. Honstain; L. G., Boidman; Q. B.. Stacey; C., Douglas; R. H., Caswell; L. H.. Bronson; F. B.. Ryan. In the debating societies as well as in the literary and dramatic clubs the Freshmen have been very well represented. The Boys' Glee Club has quite a number of Freshmen in it and a like organization for the girls is almost entirely made up of those taking Freshman studies. Several of the orchestra members are Freshmen although that organization is mostly made up from the higher classes. While the Freshmen have taken part in nearly everything that has gone on in the school it is to be hoped that the Freshman classes of next year will exceed, as far as possible, what was done by those of 1909-10, to help make West High the fine school that it now is. A. Howard Riley. Fifty-six A Sophomore Just Fore Passing Time (Apologies to Eugene Field.) FATHER calls me William, sister calls me Will, Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill. Sorry that I go to school—ruther play 'nstcad. Thout studyin’ old algebra an’ languages that’s dead; Love to tease me brudder and me auntie cross an' stern; Hate to study lessons that my teachers make me learn; 'Most all the time, the whole year 'round I have the mostest fun. But just 'fore passing time I’m good as any one. Got a mouse named Charley, took him once to school. Set him on the teacher, I only meant to fool. The room was in an uproar, the teacher on her chair; And Harry Jones just whispered low, I don’t see how you dare.” I thought ’twas time to skip then an’ started for the door. But a feller stuck his foot out an’ tripped me on the floor. I’ll leave you to imagine the following misery. But just ’fore passing time I’m as good as I can be. For passing time’s real serious for a Sophomore like me. Who’s got a score of minuses and a card not fit to see; So I get all my lessons an’ read a lot beside And my teachers have to pass me. when they see that I have tried. For I march into the classroom all solemn an’ sedate, And in my seat with folded hands I set up fearful straight. As to why I’ve changed so sudden-like my teachers just can’t see. When just ’fore passing time I’m as good as I can be. Gertrude C. Hoppock, ’12. Fifty-eight IF one were to characterize the class of I911.it might be summed up in one word “organized.” for I consider that the organization of this class has been in almost every respect all that a class should be. Free from factions, harmony in all its workings, it has accomplished the chief end of making the class as one. From the very first meeting every thing has been done in a business-like manner and your officers have proven their worth many times in the efficient manner in which they have carried out their duties. The work in class this year has been as a whole of a very high standard and but very few members of the Junior class have found it necessary to drop out because of failure in work. This is a splendid record and one which I hope will be continued through the senior year. Your hearty cooperation in working to make conditions as they should be. is most commendable and in closing. I offer my best wishes to the class of 1911. C. E. Salt. Sixty 7'r 3U Ethel jgSZSi -11 -w-y V � ,lifrrl rrr k Lil 1 Br«d� hoU ugh,J lAsS O 1 c£Ps Sixty-0 The J une Class of 1911 THE June Class of I I was organized December eighth, nineteen hundred and nine. The next step was to do something. The first and chief difficulty which the officers met was a lack of class spirit. T he principal cause for this was the fact that there was no time at which class meetings could be held other than at the close of school. To overcome this difficulty Professor Ozias kindly reinstated the fifteen-minute period, thus making possible a full class meeting and as a result we have been brought closer together as a class. Class meetings have been held on the average once a week and few days have gone by that a committee meeting of some sort has not been held during this period. As for the future, we Juniors hope to set a standard and example which may well be followed by the future classes. Financially, it is our aim to leave a good sum in the treasury for our class next year. Thus far we have been very successful in the task of collecting class dues. Fellow classmates, we still have before us another year in West. Let us aim high, striving to attain to the best we know, so that when we have left this school, it will be said of us by our principal and instructors that nineteen-eleven was a remarkable class. And after graduating, though we may become scattered as a class, yet let each one of us be joined in the effort of moving on to better things. Frederick Bruchholz. President. The Junior Hall of Fame WHAT could it mean! On arriving at the far-famed school of learning and ascending a wide iron stairway, we found ourselves in the midst of such a crowd and confusion that for a moment our sight was blurred and our brains whirled. Taking a quick survey of the scene we observed at either end a drinking fountain out of which flowed the pure, rich beverage, Donaldson’s artesian well water. Around each an eager group impatiently waited their turn to refresh themselves after four periods of honest toil. Scattered up and down the hall were many groups some large, some small, among which promenaders tried to force their way. Everyone was occupied in chatting and nibbling ham sandwiches or sweet chocolate. The first group that attracted our attention was near the end of the hall at which we entered. We strain our eyes Sixty-two and discern Stanley Harper in the midst delivering one of Cicero’s orations. Foremost among the ardent admirers are seen Harlan Frost, Lillian McLaughlin. Wanda Orton and Albert Robertson. We pass on and inquisitively turn our heads as we hear strange words behind us; but it is only Muriel I hayer, Katherine Bright and Minnie Condy gayly talking a la langue francaise.” Our attention is next attracted to two individuals walking side by side in a solemn gait. One has his eyes buried deep in Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress. while the other carries a tin cup in which lies one lonely fifty cent piece, this he thrusts into the faces of all passing Juniors, who, however, only salute the two. We learn afterwards that they arc the esteemed president and treasurer of the class. From the further end of the hall come wild rushes of sound and turning our steps thither, we come upon a band of musicians, led by Roswell S. Wilkes, who is translating German at the same time. The condescending leader plays all music requested in its turn. We first notice Mr. Salt whispering his favorite tune to the band master and the musicians strike up “School Days, at the end of which Miss Anderson. Miss Brooks and the Robertson twins vehemently applaud. Then Helen Holton asks for “Sing Me to Sleep. which appears to soothe the muddled brains of Marian Strieker, Vera Cohen, and Ellen Fertig. As time presses we leave the scene (not however without hearing Kent Powers’ request for “I’m Afraid to Come Home in the Dark ) and hurry by a secluded corner where Harold Van Duzee is instructing a freshman in vocal music. We also reluctantly pass by Emmans Abeles, who is performing a clever vaudeville stunt on his strapped school books. Among the appreciative audience we distinguish Helen Carpenter, Ruth Eggleston. Dean Campbell and— But in the midst of the gayety. a gong reverberates through the hall which seems to be the signal for dispersal. A tall, savage looking man rushes out of A room and making violent gesticulations scatters the remaining stragglers in every direction. At the same time our dazed minds are cleared. We realize that the scene we have witnessed is only the recess period in the main hall of West High School. Sixty-three The Great 1910 Fire Tvvas half past four and all was still Throughout the halls and schoolrooms there. Save where the class in chemistry Its next day’s lesson did prepare. Save in the physics room divine. Where Cook did scan with proudest look The marks of all his students bright. Within his daily marking book; When suddenly straight down the hall, Longside Cook’s room, front Caplin’s door, The janitor came rushing swift. As loudly he did ’’fire,” '’fire,' roar. At first the class and Pa John too. Thought ’twas but some practical joke. But still did brother Thomson yell. “The engine room is full of smoke. Then bather Cook began to move. And cried, “Come quick, you lazy males, Bring coffee pots and water tanks. And noon-day lunch room garbage pails. And hurry up there Neutson, you. And Plank and Ncwlin, hop longside; Fill up those pails with H two O; Miss Caplin, carbon dioxide. Then all flew on in stumbling line. With water flying in goodly shares. With vessels, each, of every shape. Straight to the engine room’s steep stairs. And down they go, heroic band. To quench the deadly flames wide-spread. When lo! they stop and burst in mirth, ' bis but the jan’tor’s cot-like bed. And all ablaze it merrily burns And smokes and fills their throats with chokes. And thus you sec we add this to Our many other West High jokes. Sixty-lour THE Senior Class of the West High School for 1910, like Charles Surface, has knocked down its ancestors with their own family trees. Made up of pupils originally enrolled at the other high schools of the city, this class has borne a considerable part in placing West at the front of high school activities. In scholarship, it has a valedictorian with an average higher’ than any obtained in the city this year or for many years. In athletics, it formed the bulk of our championship football team and furnished two members of our championship hockey team. It has also other distinguishing characteristics. Its finances arc in excellent condition, due, no doubt, to its having a treasurer who can compel its members “to plank down the dues. Socially, it promotes good-fellowship. It is a noticeable fact that its parties are real high school parties and there has not been that separation into cliques that was so apparent at high school parties several years ago. Altogether, it is a class of which any school may well be proud. If all senior classes that represent West have as little to regret and as great promise for the future. West’s standing in the community will be assured. Thos. E. Hayward. Sixty-six Earl Tumy President Franc« Work Secretary CLASS OFFICERS Gladys Harrison Vice-President Howard Plank Treaturer k Seniors THE lime is approaching when we. the Class of ‘10, are to leave this school as its graduates. I he worth of a school is known by the graduates it turns out into the world, cither to seek higher education than is offered here or to enter into the field of industry. All of us modestly admit that West is the best high school in the Northwest. Now, as representatives, it is up to us to convince the people with whom we meet, later in life, of this fact. Therefore let us begin immediately. When we leave this institution in June, we should start on our varying ways with the firm resolve to give West High School a reputation throughout the country of turning out as high a class of scholars as can be turned out by any high school in the world. We are a foundation class; following classes are going to try to eclipse our record, for that reason let’s make our record an extremely good one and force the other classes to extend themselves to their limit. By this method we can have an influence on the classes of this school that shall live long after we graduate. Hoping that this advice will be earnestly considered by all of you and thanking you for the honor which you have given me, I remain. Your president, Earl S. Tumy. This class has been especially fortunate in securing sufficient funds for carrying on its varied activities. Owing to the careful management in the Junior year of our class we were able to have an ample sum to commence the necessary functions of the Senior year. Several financial problems have been encountered which have arisen from unavoidable causes but have been finally overcome after faithful planning. H. G. Plank, T reasurcr. The illustrious class of 1910 was organized early in the school year. Our president showed very good judgment in his selection of the various committees, for all were most energetic and faithful in carrying out their appointed work. The series of dances arranged by the social committee were very successful, and the Annual Committee were absolutely untiring in their ambition to achieve this brilliant result. Nor must we forget to mention the Picture Committee who were Sixty-eight. our peacemakers when we failed to have our pictures taken on time. The class turned out nobly for the Senior play contest, and although we all knew that there were but eight speaking parts to be assigned, still about forty tried out. Miss Holtz spoke before a class meeting and gave us some idea about preparing for the contest. She more than deserves the thanks, which I am sure we all offer, for her help in our preparation, as well as the time and strength she is now devoting to training the cast. Our class spirit is inspiring, and the memory of the class of 1910 will be, we hope, a pleasant and lasting one in the mmds of all. Frances S. Works, Secretary. COMMITTEES. Social Committee.

UNDER the skilled and untiring direction of Miss Holtz, the class of 1910 believes they will be able to give a production equal to. if not a rival of. that given by the class of '09. After much consideration, a play of Puritan times was chosen. A Rose O’ Plymouth Town.” I he prologue. Edward Everett’s famous oration on the sufferings of the Pilgrims. will be illustrated by especially prepared lantern slides. Following this will come six elaborate tableaux, to emphazie the historical side, and bring the audience into the feeling of the time. There will be an especially designed Puritan interior with an old-fashioned fire-place, and all properties and costumes will Seccnl }-one Earl Tumy Maurice Keating Frances Works Gladys Ainsworth Viola Minor Arlinc Peachey SCENES FROM THE CLASS PLAY be made according to old book plates. There are thirty-five persons in the cast, and among the unique features will be, fencing, Indian dance and song, and girls in a flower drill. The plot is based absolutely on history and is briefly as follows: Captain Standish and his wife. Barbara, their cousin Miriam, their friend Rose, and the Captain’s Aunt Resolute, all live under one roof. Philippe, Rose’s brother, and John Margeson. both colonists, arc frequent visitors there. John comes to see Rose, who favors his suit little, and in turn he cares naught for Miriam who thinks a great deal of him. Aunt Resolute is a quaint old English gentlewoman, who derides Puritan customs and living; and she only, of them all, sees through Bully Margeson. The colonists are sheltering, for a time, a band of settlers bound for Wcssa-gussett, and one of these, Garrett Foster, tempted by the sight of growing corn, steals some. and. being pursued by Margeson. dashes into the Standish home. Here he finds Rose, who hides him from John, close on his heels. I he captain discovers corn and thief and orders Foster out to the whipping post, for every grain of corn was precious in those early times. But Rose pleads for him. so the captain fixes another punishment, namely, to eat all the corn he took. Foster lives on peaceably among the colonists for a time, so the Governor offers him a strip of land to settle on. His love for Rose has increased each day and he now asks her to marry him. and she promises to him her answer that evening. Before evening, however, misunderstanding arises. Margeson angered by Rose’s preference for Foster, insults him. whereupon f oster calls him to fight a duel. There is a minute of sword play when the captain enters and demands the cause of the quarrel. Margeson points to Garrett, whom the captain in anger then banishes from the colony. A few of the colonists, with Standish, make a journey to Wessagussett, and Philippe brings back a letter for Rose from Garrett Foster. In this Foster says that rumor has it Rose is to marry Margeson, and wishing her happiness, says he will soon start back for England. In anger and grief, she later accepts Marge-son’s offer, although she does not love him. But Foster having learned that the Indians are on the war-path, and heading towards Plymouth, makes his way there through the snow and cold, arriving late at night, completely exhausted, in time to warn the colonists. When the Indians attack at early dawn, the men rush out and Foster is thought to be still sleeping. He, however, hears the noise and snatching up a coat, which happens to be Margcson’s, hurries out to defend the break in the stockade, he made the night before. The men see him. but think the noble deed Margson’s. John, on hearing of it, prevails upon Foster to promise not to reveal the mistake. But in the end the truth comes out. and Rose takes the better man. Frances Works. Seventy - three Our Alphabet A IS for Ainsworth. Sweet Gladys by name, With great bluffing power.

Spinster Coppage (Rapping table with gavel). Attention, ladies, attention! Please have it quiet! (Removes her specs.) I should like to make a few remarks in opening. You recall the meeting we had two years ago! (All nod and whisper, “our last.”) Yes, the last meeting of the Spinisters’ Club, when we decided to meet again in two years. We have been widely separated since that time; some have traveled far, and all have met with old acquaintances. Now we are gathered at this reunion as we then agreed. Sister Casey, we’ll hear from you first, and go right around the circle. Spin. Casey. Well, my dears. I’ve had a hard time of it! But my path was considerably brightened by the meeting of several old school friends. I met Carl Lauritzcn with his pretty wife, Agnes Cox. on ship-board. At Hong Kong. China, I came upon dear little Gladys Harrison, who is doing good work among the heathen. She said she had already converted Earl Tumy, who is now her loving and helpful husband. At Kimberly. South Africa, I found Howard Plank, diamond digging. Then in Australia, whom did I meet but Willoughby Babcock, cobbling shoes for the natives! Spin. Conner. Oh. I met so many old friends in Alaska! Laura Hanke. Sevenly-six James Weeks’ happy wife, invited me to stay over night. The next morning an old. ragged and decrepit looking piece of humanity asked to clean the walk. He was dumb, so he presented his card, and on it was the name. Benjamin Paris! I hen my first patient at the hospital was a thin emaciated man. I was startled to recognize Deane Carpenter! Spin. Camp. Ladies, a most thrilling scene presented itself in New York City. Our school-fellow, Donald Hudson, poised on a cracker box. loudly proclaimed the virtues of his quack medicine and Arnett Leslie was rapidly selling it to the eager spectators! In one of my lectures I was opposed by the Rev. Harold Chapin, Q. E. D. (Hateful thing!) Alice Berry and Gladys Pattee. who arc influential women of the city, wrote me stinging letters of criticism about my address. Spin. Rarvitzer. One of the most pathetic characters under my charge in the asylum was Oliver Hale, who went violently insane because of unrequited love for Helen O’Hallaron Albert Haines was there because his beautiful wife. Hazel Davis, had left him. Among the people in the institution, on account of brain fever, were William Jessup and Ralph Knight. It is expected that they will recover. Spin. Greaves. Well, my brightest pupil was Matthew Crawford. Jr., much resembling his beautiful mother, Gertrude Kalton Crawford. One of my associate teachers. Miss Blodgett had a little pupil. Mary Folsom Peck. The principal of our Academy was the distinguished Donald Bruce, and the Mayor of that town was Lucian Sinclair. Spin. Cilberl. My literary work necessitated a visit to the editor of the Family Magazine. I thot the little office boy looked familiar and asked him his name. “Elmer Wheaton, Jr., Ma’am.” he replied. He ushered me into the presence of the editor, Karl Fastinau. and while I was there a big blustering fellow came in. “Hello, Kingsley,” said the editor, how’s your wife? Oh. Jean’s visiting my mother-in-law. Mrs. Gordon.’’ Then Mr. Weiskopf and his pretty little wife. Florence Goldberg, have written me for information regarding the training of their children as their nurse, Elizabeth Lawrence, is very incompetent. Spin. Nootnaglc. The famous “Discordonic quartet, composed of Kathcryn Webster. Leah Capps, Metellus Thomson, and Roy Walker, charmingly entertained my little orphans. Had you heard that Fred Tryon, now married to Florence Samuels, has adopted little Cora Bell, forsaken by her cruel father. Warren Bell? Think of it! Seventy-seven Spin. Griffith. My best customer is Ashton Gregg, proprietor of the ‘‘Stag Boarding House, where such men as Ellis Perrin, Horton Daniels and Harris Meyer, hang their hats. There I hear bits of gossip. I learn that Arline Peachey has lately married Mortimer Newlin, the great philanthropist, and that Ed. McCarthy is the great successor of Rockefeller in the Standard Oil Co. Spin. Leland. Let me explain in the first place, that my dealing is entirely with women. I obtain my supplies from the great wholesale concern, “Wright Ingraham.” Their competent forewoman is Gertrude Prindle and traveling agent is Echo Wells. I carry Beard’s sweeties for the mumps! Spin. Ainsworth. It is with joy in my heart that I again gaze upon these bright and shining faces. It reminds me of my call upon Donald Ricker, the worthy successor of General Booth, where I learned that Helen Clark is the soloist in Trinity Church, N. Y.. and Fred Legg is the organist there. In my work. I’ve come across Warren Hopwood, Luella Wheeler and Harry Lewis, poor and needy, and who have frequently sought relief at our station. Spin. Bard well. While I was lecturing in San Francisco, the Miner-Keating “hit of the season” was on the stage, so my meetings were not well attended. I tried lecturing in the street, but an insolent policeman who proved to be Fred Maughan, arrested me. I was fortunate in being brought before Judge Earl Neutson, who kindly acquitted me. Two of my strongest partisans were Marie Allen and Ruth Canfield. Spin. Works. People from all parts of the country flock to hear my lectures. I met Mabel Hinkley, who is an earnest Sunday School worker among the colored people. Madge Ford, my efficient secretary, carries on correspondence with Emma Peterson and Marguerite Allison, who are faithful W. C. I. U. women. Spin. Coppage. What a delightful afternoon this has been! Ladies, it grieves me much to leave this congenial circle, but today I must sever my connection with the society, for I—I—I, You remember Carter Gregg, well. I—I—I —he’s going to marry me! (All hold up their hands in horror.) (Curtain Falls.) Seoenlyj-eighl Senior s Life WHEN I get home from school each day And down to study sit. It seems as tho it’s always work And never any quit. Before me stands a stack of books Piled higher than my head. And note books full of stupid notes And poems to be read. I open first my English book. That’s worse than all the rest; I o get a single lesson done l akes several hours at best. And then I tackle Virgil’s lore In volume deep and dense. And try to make that gibberish 1 o sound like common sense. 1 hen next. Geometry I sound And strive to understand The theorem of spheres and planes. As dry as any sand. And so the live-long day wears on As I through duty plod, Alas, what profit is there gained To tread where saints have trod’’? Alcetta T. Gilbert.
