Time was when the industrious boy or girl who performed his daily tasks acceptably, who was punctual in his attendance and polite in his conduct, represented the ideal toward which all were urged to strive. But ideals change with larger knowledge. The best citizen is no longer the man who works, supports his family and pays his debts, but who in addition takes time to become interested in his city’s welfare, in all forms of public good, and to share all the thought and labor and sacrifice necessary to uphold and uplift his fellow men, so the best student is he who in addition to performing his prescribed duties, allies himself with the whole life of the school, including its athletics, its scientific and musical clubs, its debating teams, and any other opportunities for general culture that the school affords. The student who enters so deeply into school activities that he has no time for outside pursuits, gets the most out of the years, either in high school or university. One great argument in favor of eastern colleges for western students is that they are separated from the social life of their homes and so have less distraction in their school life. Looking over the years behind us and forward to the future, I urge you Seniors, wherever you go to enter completely into the life of your college. Identify yourselves with its high aims and live for it alone, thus only will you get the value of your time and money. To the classes in the high school who take your place the rule holds good. In school life, as in all life you get out of it in proportion to what you put in. He who would get all there is must give all he has. A. N. Ozias.

It has not been an easy task. Nevertheless, after working and studying and planning, we have arranged the 1911 Hesperian. We hope that it will meet with their approval. In accordance with the desire of the class of 1910, we have kept the size, and style of binding the same. We believe that those classes which follow can find no better and beautiful way in which to print their book and we trust that they will follow out the plan. We wish to thank the many people who have helped us by contributing to its pages. Of course it was not possible to print all of the material submitted— we have merely selected those drawings and articles which seemed l est suited for our purpose. Finally, we wish to thank The Architect Press, especially Mr. Robertson, for the thoughtful attention given us. To Golling-Hesse we are indebted for our photos. Also we wish to thank Mr. William J. Betting, of the Bureau of Engraving, for the advice and helpful criticism he has given us, and for the personal interest he has taken in our endeavor to present the “best annual.” THE ’ll HESPERIAN BOARD, Dean Campbell, Editor. (Class blotto: Essc non often (Class Colors: teel Cray aift $Uue KU iv To The June Class, 1911 THIS is the first class to graduate that has spent most of its course in the West High School, and, consequently, your teachers cannot help but feel a great interest in your future welfare. You bear their stamp, so to speak, more legibly impressed than any former graduating class and you can readily see that they are more anxious than ever before that you should amount to something. You have been going through the process of acquiring book knowledge be-cause your parents and yourselves believe in a high school education; as far as doing something is concerned, that is, some definite work, most of you have that experience yet to realize; but it is what you will be as a man or woman that touches your teachers most closely as that will determine how much the West High School does to develop character. Character consists in knowing, doing and being, and it depends on the tastes and qualifications that opportunity has developed. Your opportunities have been of the best. Suppose you take stock of your tastes and qualifications. Do you know anything? Can you do anything? Are you anything? The answers to these questions will determine your character. Perhaps, your stock of knowledge may not be great, but you ought to have the desire to know more. You may not be able to do very much but you ought to understand the necessity and dignity of work. You may not yet have had a chance to show that you are something, but you ought to know already whether you are trying to do right or wrong, whether you are honest or dishonest; in short, you ought to know what it means to be something so that when your time comes, your friends and acquaintances will know where you stand. “In labor as in life there can be no cheating. The thief steals from himself. The swindler swindles himself. For the real price of labor is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.” • Thomas E.

Sulutatorian 93-2 The Parting The wind blows free on the harbor docks; To its port our boat is steering. Into our hearts a sadness steals, For we know the end is nearing. Four years we’ve sailed that ship, o’er which The flag of knowledge is waved; For four short years we’ve paced those decks, Where the way to success is paved. Three times while in port, we’ve dropped a class, And greeted a stranger band, But now comes the time to sav farewell, For we are the ones to land. Farewell, dear ship and kindly crew; We will always remember you. May your firm sides forever hold, And your guests be forever true. Pearle Boggess Thirty-tight To the June Class THE graduation of a student from high school generally marks the most important epoch in his life, for it is the period which produces more lasting changes than any other. Consequently our coining separation from high school activities and associations will probably be greater than most of us realize. Five years will probably see us scattered in all parts of the country and ten—well, it is futile to even guess at the possible results of ten years. However, this does not mean that graduation should be a time of gloom, for l efore us we have every prospect for a successful future and with us we take the results of a well rounded school career. 1 digress a moment for an apology. I want it understood that it is not through any wish of mine that you are inflicted with this time honored dissertation. hut you can lay it to the door of the editor, who demanded that I fill a page of his space. Seriously, however, I am very glad of the opportunity of expressing my hearty appreciation of the class support. First, I want to thank the committees for their most eflicient work. Second, but by no means the least, comes the greatest achievement of the 1911 class, the Hesperian. The fact that this year our annual was the only place we were allowed to show our talents makes that work doubly important, and I feel that the class cannot give enough praise to the Hesperian Hoard, especially the editor and manager, by whose faithful and untiring efforts we were able to have “the l est annual of its kind ever published by a Minneapolis high school.” And now before closing, I want once more to thank all members of the class for their kindness and consideration during the year, for their active and able help in class matters, and to wish all of them the happy and prosperous future which is their due and which will undoubtedly be theirs. Sincerely your president, William Callaway. Every Worthy Teacher Has a Saying All His Own ( ur work is o’er Hut nevertheless We hold some mem’rys dear Of all our teachers In this school Who’ve been to us sincere. ()ur clouded brows Clear up soon On hearing a new sound. For when we come Into A room, A voice says, “Turn square, round.” We’ve studied hard Our chemistry; And now with books arc toying. We soon recite All that we know. Then, are told to “keep a’going. We hurry in To English Lit. In our haste, forget the rules. Alack, alas! We’ve come again Without those needful “tools.” Hazel Johnson. A Memory of the North Game Forty Forty-one AT THE first meeting of the social committee this year the question was asked, “Would the class support four parties as the class of 1910 had done?” This question was debated on at length and at last the committee decided to give three informals, and, if these were well attended, a big Commencement Day. Accordingly, Mrs. Noble’s Hall was secured for the first party, held on Feb. 10. This dance was a splendid success. Mr. May-ward paid the class a fine compliment by saying that it was the finest party given by a high school class, that he had ever attended. Incidentally the class netted $30 above all expenses. The party of March 17, held at Mrs. Noble's new hall, was even a greater success than the preceding one. Over eighty couple enjoyed the dance while the committee turned over $51.00 to the class treasurer, making a total of $81.00 clear for the two parties. At the present writing the party of May 12 has not been given, but it is the aim of the committee to make this party a bigger and better one than any that have been given by any high school. Harold Van Duzke, Chairman. ?: P Fortff'ifo MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL SEPTEMBER 21, 1930 NKW FINANCIAL SYSTEM. Minneapolis is proud to hear of the great honor shown to the Hon. Wm. Calloway who has recently been appointed secretary of the treasury. His new financial system promises to l e of great benefit to the country. PICK POCKET. Harrison Root once popular in West High has now become a professional pick pocket. It is said that this tendency was brought on by his endless extortion of money from his classmates while he was the treasurer of the 1911 class. FOREIGN FLASHES. Isabel Vogt and Dorothy Womack are engaged in missionary work in South Mars. Harlan Frost is holding school for Eskimos at the North Pole. SPOUTING NEWS. Frank Leslie, who has become too expert a tennis player to lx? classed with the common lot, such as Harmon Watt and Hob McLean, has risen a step higher and has now mastered ping pong. CHILDREN’S SHOW. The beauty prize for children at the Art Gallery has been awarded to little Ruth E. Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Davis, of this city. NEW BOOKS. I’lie young author Charnley McKinley, lias brought to public notice a startling treatise on Chemistry. It shows in a clear, concise way many things up till now unobserved. Frederick Bruchholz has just published a remarkable work on “Hot Air as a Motive Power.” SOCIETY NEWS. Theater Party. All Minneapolis came out to see the performance at the new Keith Theater last night. An interesting bill held the hoards. A1 Robertson appeared with his company in the dainty sketch, “The C. C. C.” Next came Mile. Haupt, tres petite, leading a chorus of dancers. The Hubacheck, Powers, Harper, trio gave an excellent acrobatic act. Miss Helen Flynn entertained a group of her women friends at the matinee today. Tlte party included the Misses Slyter. Stout. Mamill. and Franklin. We read in the London Times that the Duchess of Hit or Misky. formerly Marion Armatage, of this city, has fallen heir to several millions of dollars. Last evening Mr. R. Thayer entertained at dinner for the leading young bachelors of the city; those present were Merton Dunnigan. Harry Shippam, Elmer Olson, of the class 1911 of West High School. TOWN TALK.. Great Scott! Poor Alvin fell on the track of Rich Helen, hut lost out the Emmons who was more Abel (s). Paul ash has realized his ambition to become a high flyer. He is elevator man in the new High Life building. 11 erl ert Rose is cultivated by P. Rogges. It proves to be a harrowing experience. WEST HIGH NEWS. The new term at West started out last week with Prof. B. Allen as principal. Miss K. Hervey has been designated as his assistant and remarkable work is expected from that school this year. The lunch room which was at a standstill last year was again opened under the management of the excellent sandwich maker, Muriel Thayer. The school has lost two of its most promising pupils this term, as Prof. Haverstock. not approving of the high school method of teaching, has taken Henry and Ruth out and will tutor them himself in the little time that he spends away from his classes at the University. The new Latin teacher. Miss Inez Thompson was yesterday elected faculty president of the society formed for the overthrow of the “feminine frivolity vulgarly known as rats.” The seniors are this year studying from Wanda Orton’s “Advanced Latin Text,” and the literature course has been improved by the outline l ook of L. Ungerer. We are pleased to hear that our two late teachers. Misses Carpenter and Churchill, are gaining knowledge wandering about the Toombs of Egypt. A suffragette meeting was held yesterday in the Auditorium under the auspices of the Girls’ League. Miss Walton, president of the M. S. S., presided over the meeting. Those suffragettes, alumni of this school, who made remarks were Misses Rennet, Hauser. Anderson, Bengston, Carlson. Carney. Bertrand. Heighton, Lincoln, Schneider and Stout. Monseiur Hawley, the great violinist who spent his early days at West will give a violin recital in the Auditorium next Friday evening. PERSONAL MENTION. Dean Campbell, who in his youth was so promising to the world of debate, is now on the streets of Chicago calling, “Violets, Who will buy my Violets?” Assembly Hall Place: Assembly Hall. Time: Fifteen-Minute Peri- od. Assembly of students, who are talking, laughing, whispering, giggling, studying, yelling and everything else except sitting still. Mr. Ozias, folowcd by several distinguished looking gentlemen, mounts the platform. The students begin to applaud. The gentlemen bow and take their seats, and the students again turn to their interrupted conversation and studying. Mr. Ozias rises and stands and waits for the pupils to give attention. After an interminable space of time the noise gradually subsides. Mr. Ozias begins to speak. “1 have the great honor this morning of introducing to you—etc., etc.” Applause. Gentleman introduced rises. Applause. He begins. “It gives me great pleasure to look upon so many bright, intelligent faces, etc.” As he continues his speech the students gradually begin to whisper or study again, occasionally looking up and applauding some witty remark that they have sub-consciously heard. Time passes rapidly and at last the speech is finished. Vigorous applause. Mr. Ozias again rises. “You are now dismissed for the third hour class.” The room instantly Incomes filled with a howling, yelling mass of students. Occasionally a school yell is heard above the roar of conversation. Ten or fifteen minutes later all is again peace and quiet. L. N. All Turn Out Big Faculty Baseball Game.

Ozias I Iu-fivr Forti - ir Greetings From The Alumni ONE of the duties of an alumni of a school is to furnish sage advice to the under graduates of their alma mater. No doubt when ’09 and ’10 have been out a few more years, they will have a great deal of good counsel to give you, hut you must consider their youth and not expect t«n� much of them. For the high school senior, after six delightful months ending in the white glare of commencement, feels something of a shock when he plunges into the whirl of everyday life, or falls, perhaps to the insignificance of living a freshman at college; '09 and '10 have been very busy learning things since they walked through the brass studded doors for the last time, but about all they can tell you is that going to high school is merely the first step in finding out how much one doesn’t know. The alumni have watched with loving interest the progress of the school during the year. Not a few of them have been by to cheer the team to victory or help bear the weariness of defeat. Those whose duty called them elsewhere have often thought of the green and white when the grandstands were cheering, or have watched, with greater solicitude the l earing of the school under the severe discipline of hostile criticism. If there have been things to be ashamed of, there have also been things to be proud of, and on the whole, we may rest in the assurance that West High has been true to itself. 1 almost said “true to its traditions.” but the traditions of West High are in the making. Do not forget that they are yours to make. ’09 and '10 have done something but their day is over. Upon you. Seniors, and even more, under classmen, rests the responsibility of shaping the future spirit of the school. Shall West High stand for fair play and sportsmanship, or winning at any cost? Shall it mean honor or meanness, faithful work or idling, righteousness or moral indifference? It is yours to say. Hack of you stand the alumni. They will do what they can to help you, but their power is limited. Vours is the responsibility, and in your willingness to meet it we of ’09 and ’10 have all faith.

First it is the largest class yet organized in West High; there being in the beginning two hundred and thirteen members. In spite of this fact it has not appeared in the least unwieldly and it has been kept by both its officers and members in such a balance that all its wheels have run smoothly and without friction. The officers were elected after a contest in which the rivalry was spirited, but at all times friendly, and after the election factional differences were put aside and all worked for the good of the Junior Class. It is rumored that the officers have unanimously declared themselves in favor of universal suffrage. The different committees have proven their worth by the manner in which they have performed their duties, and the officers have conducted their meetings in businesslike form. The scholarship of the Junior Class has been high with but few failures amongst its members. It has been well represented among the different organizations of the school and done all that it could to further the interest of West High. V’ou have set a good example for oncoming classes. Sincerely, C. G. Salt. THE Junior Class of 1912 was organized December 15, 1910. The committees were appointed and everyone started immediately to work for the best interest of the class. Within a few weeks the class business was running smoothly. Class pins were secured and the dates of the parties decided upon and carried out. It is hoped in view of the size of the class that we may establish a firm financial backing and start out on our next year with money in the treasury. 'ITie class owes a vote of thanks to the social and pin committees for their faithful and efficient work and to Mr. Salt for his interest in us and the help he has given us. We have set a new standard for the classes which come after us and we owe our success thus far to the fact that we have worked together as a class instead of a number of individuals and with the same spirit let us go on to bigger and lietter things next year. Sincerely your president, David Shearer. nr iv ’12 CLASS OFFICERS David Shearer, President Margaret Frisbee. Vice-President Elizabeth Loomis, Secretary Joe Mattern, Treasurer Fifty-one If Boys Were Girls and Girls Were Boys NOW, wouldn’t it be funny if for just out day, the boys of West High School were the girls and the girls were the boys? What a hubbub would take place in the boys’ cloak room, for instance. Imagine, if you can, the stalwart Chester Feeley, prancing around with a powder puff in one hand and a tiny mirror in the other. And can’t you just see Joe Mattern figuring before the looking-glass and asking in an agonized voice: “Oh, Chestah ! is my hair all right in back?” And then in A Room—just think what a peculiar state of affairs that room would be in, for there sits the dignified Senior President, giggling hysterically in a corner with Fred Hruckholz and Harold Van Duzee. In another corner, Harrison Root is passing around a huge box of fudge and telling a few of his most intimate friends a very mysterious tale which, after many injunctions, they promise “never to tell a soul.” And here comes St. Mathew Clark in a most wonderful “hobble,” mincing along as fast as his skirt will permit. And there is Russell Overlook weeping piteously and telling Mr. Hayward that he must go home for his head is “simply splitting.” Near the B Room door. David Shearer, who has, by the way, a huge pink bow perked coquettishly over his left ear, is telling his admirers how many, many parties he has been to lately and that the boys are all just about “wild” over him. And then, turning the tables, imagine Virginia Higgins coming up to Margaret Frisbie, and after a resounding whack on the back, saying: “Hello, Frisbie! How’s the kid this morning?” Then, too, we might see Marian Strieker, stalking down the hall, whistling cheerfully. And there goes Alma Haupt tearing up stairs, five steps at a time; only stopping long enough at the landing to pummel her good matured friend Elizabeth Tryon, who is making her descent by way of the “banisters.” In the upper hall, Dorothy McGraw having bumped ruthlessly into poor little Henry Allen, knocking him quite flat on the floor, assists him, politely, to his feet and continues her way. There goes Elizabeth Loomis, studying, down the hall jingling the keys and spare change in her pocket with great importance and smiling benignly on Mr. Salt who is vainly struggling with a very small and arrogant F'reshman. We are sorry to hear that Margaret IIincline has been suspended for having mischievously shot off, with a rubl er band and bits of cardboard, one of Charnley McKinley’s little curls. As for Lillian McLaughlin, the “sporty” cut to her suit, as well as her remarkable pompadour, excites the admiration of everyone, little Kent Powers in particular, to whom this dashing hero is quite an idol—but after all aren’t we glad that the boys are the boys and the girls are the girls. T. T., '12. Fifty-three THE Junior Class added momentum to the social whirl of the past season by the giving of two dances, the Junior dance, and the dance given for the Seniors. Both parties were well attended, not only by the Junior Class, but by the whole school. The first, given February the twenty-first at the Handicraft Hall, was a new venture, no former Junior Class having attempted more than the Junior-Senior. It was a success from every standpoint, and prepared the way for the Junior-Senior, which was held later in the spring. The Junior-Senior set a new mark for high school parties. A large number was present, many Seniors taking advantage of the one dance to which they were charged t1 no admission. We wish to thank the whole school for their hearty co-operation, and we hope to even outdo the past parties in our dances of next year. Wni f’lBPrvTFB. Chairman.

The ball season was all but over, an’ the Waterloo an’ Rubcvillc tames were toid for the championship av the league. The deciding game was to be played in Rubcville, much to the regrit an’ sorrow of all the “fans” from our town who did not have enough money to Ik afther a spindin on railroad fare. Oi shal nivir fergit the soight that greeted me eyes whin me an’ me tame mates entered the ball grounds. The stands were already filled to thr’ utmost capacity an’ ivery wan was cheerin’ as if thir very loives dipinded on how much noise they made, while the brass bands of both towns were vayliantly tryin’ to drown out each other wid phwat was supposed to Ik music. Foindly, the gong sounded an’ the great championship game was under way. From the very shtart. it was a hard fought battle, an’ the last part of the ninth found the score only two to wan in favor of Rulieville. For some rason or other our tame had not ! een playing up to standard. Spike Kelly, our heavy hitting left fielder, had fanned throughout the game an’ oi ineself had fumbled about half a dozen little grounders, that oi could hav caught wid me eyes shut under ordinary circumstances. As oi hav’ said before, it was the last half av the ninth inning an’ in it lay our only hopes av winnin the game. Oi was first mon to step into the batter’s box that inning, an’ you may rist assured that oi felt as shaky as a novice on roller skates whin oi faced that Rubeville pitcher. Well, as luck would hav’ it, the very first ball pitched, struck me in the nose an’ loiked to hav’ made it look into me left ear. Hut wan of our boys threw a bucket av water on me an’ I managed to walk to first base. The next mon to try his luck was Moike Flanigan, but the best he could do was to fan out. Wild Bill Monahan followed suit an’ there we were wid two men out an’ the score two to wan. Spike Kelly was the third mon to face the music, an’ oi could sec from the luk on Spike’s face that he was resolved to ayther knock the cover off the ball or doi in the attempt. The pitcher eyed Spike for a moment, thin afther havin’ waved his arms an’ legs about in the air, threw the ball straight towards the plate. But, alas! Spike missed it by about two feet. By this toimc oi had reached third base where oi kept me eyes open fer a chance to stheal ‘home.’ 'Fhe next ball pitched played the same mane thrick on poor Spike at the first, much to the delight of the Rubeville band which tryed to rattle him by playin’ ‘Kelly’s Gone to Kindom Cum,’ but Spike only grinned an’ pulled in his l lt about four notches. Agin the pitcher threw the ball an’ Spike swung his bat. But this toime there was a sharp crack loike whin a mon sthicks his foot through the bottom av a chair. Begorra! The way that ball sailed over that fince was a caution. Of course Spike Kelley was the mon of the hour for it was his timely homerun that had whipped Rubeville three to two. Merton Costigan. I i lu crrn AT OUK one and only meeting, we were told, clearly, that the Girls’ League of West High School was for the purpose of developing a higher standard of womanhood, and it was voted to give two parties. Wednesday, March 1st, 1911, the Sophomores and Freshmen entertained their guests with the faculty’s assistance. This affair was a brilliant success due to the hearty financial support extracted from the superfluously wealthy Freshmen. The Seniors and Juniors assembled to partake of cookies and frappe on Thursday. Invitations to these functions were issued at one of our well beloved fifteen- ■ minute periods and the masculine element was invited to he conspicuous by their absence. But sometimes “woman proposes” and man disposes, and so several bold masculine spirits appeared. If we had been informed of their intentions we might have granted them the much coveted (?) privilege of sharing the expenses, and if their contributions had been as generous as their appetites we might have supplied an elaborate spread. Thus the girls l egin their work and we shall. I sincerely hope, flourish and live to fulfill the prophecies of our many well wishers.

I’ll never be able to find my way around. There was an awful roar. I thought I must have gotten into the planing mill by mistake. But there was a nice little lady at the top of the stairs who smiled at me as though she thought I belonged there. I said to myself, I wonder “Watts” that lady’s name. She kept saying, “Latin course pupils to room three.” How did I know where room three was? Just then I saw a dark object bearing down on me and a long arm shot out from the neighborhood of the ceiling and hustled me down the corridor at a rate I know exceeded the speed limit. That dark object was Mr. Hayward, but I didn’t know it by name then. When I came to my senses, 1 was standing or rather cowering outside a door labeled 13. I always knew that was an unlucky number. Just then a gong pierced the air with unearthly din. While I was standing dazed and hopeless wondering what would happen next, I saw a teacher coming and plucked up courage to ask, “Where is room three?” She answered all in one word, “Just-around-the-comer-next-to-room-four.” Well, of course, four would be next to three. Did I look as fresh as all that? I was just traveling around the comer as directed when I ran plump into a vision with a capital V. She might have been a princess in one of those oncc-upon-a-time stories. She had golden hair and all the rest of it. To my delight I found that her room was No. 3 and my troubles were over for a while. I went to drawing feeling uneasy for fear the teacher would ask me, “How many schools of art are there,” or “Why is Michael Angelo?” But she didn’t. She only asked my name. Luckily I knew that. When 1 went to English the teacher said: “Will you please inscribe your no- men and cognomen?” Seeing that I was handicapped without a dictionary, she kindly translated it for me. For Latin I went back to the Princess. Then 1 climbed a mile of steps for Algebra. “Heaven is not reached at a single hound.” Neither is algebra. 81 tv At recess I went to the lunch room for a sandwich and got sandwiched in such a crowd that I hastily extracted myself, slightly damaged but still breathing. I went to Mr. Hayward’s room for my vacant periods. I wondered why they were called vacant until I looked around and saw all the children sitting about with their mouths open, indicating that their minds were vacant. I studied from 1 :30 until 9:00 o’clock. High school is just fine, but I’m rather sleepy. Four Years Later When the Same Boy is Beginning His Senior Year Monday, September 4. Hack to school for the final “wop.” Hope I didn’t make a mistake to turn down all those flattering offers to go into business. Well, it’s the same old grind! Stumbled over something in the hall this morning. which proved to Ik a Freshman. It looked at me with big appealing eyes—like a dog. I think it may live through the day with care. They really ought to have a separate nursery for the kids. It’s an imposition on the upper classmen to have to Ik bothered with the greenies. I’m booked for Hayward’s room. The teachers gave us the same old jolly about good marks and high ideals. What rot! The fellows want me to take hold of the Hesperian. I think I’ll have to do it. It needs bracing up. I studied till midnight. I began at a quarter to twelve. I think I’ll have to write my excuses with my left hand after this. June 6th. Only 24 hours more of high school. Poor old West! I don’t see how it will survive without me. There isn’t a man in line who is fit to take my place on the football team to say nothing of the Glee Club and the Hesperian. Well—what is West’s loss is the University's gain! To be sure I didn’t get any honors. But then a fellow can’t do everything. I have enough loyalty for my alma mater to be very sorry to see the way the classes are deteriorating. No good stuff in sight after us. Well, au revoir, old West, don’t miss us too much. Elizabeth Gray. Word and Music by Donald Hawley All hail Co West, the Queen of schools; To all her graduates; All hail the class of 1911. The last to leave her gates! We’ve studied with this pleasant end For four long years in view; Although for some the task was hard. At last we all are through.

Under the capable leadership of Roswell Wilkes, the band played with creditable results at all of the football games between West and the other schools. Although we were handicapped by a lack of cornets we made up by having many more clarinets and harmony parts than is usual in a school organization. Owing to the limited time for practice we did not have any too great amount of music at our command; but the school was very tolerant and raised no serious objection to our forced repetition. It is hoped that the West High School Band will become a permanent organization and meet with even greater success than it did this year. A. How ard Riley. The Orchestra WEST HIGH school can boast of much musical talent, and it organizes all available material into vocal and instrumental clubs. The orchestra began its work late in the year,—after the football season was over. Practice was regular during the remainder of the first term under the leadership of John Heising. The system of credits for work done in music increased the number of players temporarily, but only those with the true spirit can endure the strain of regular attendance and thoughtful effort and the ranks now are reduced to the musicians. With the opening of the second term Roswell Wilkes took up the baton and John Heising began work as player of the French horn. The orchestra is in fine condition, and much is expected from its appearance in the Faster concert. isty-flve Girls’ Glee Club THE Girl's diet Club was organized in Scptemlier, 1908, with a membership of thirty; the numl er lias been increased in two years to ninety. It has lieen the good fortune of the organization to have as its director Miss Ednah F. Hall. Miss Ethel Harwood and Miss Estelle Broberg have both served ably as accompanists. This organization has furnished music for commencement exercises and each year has given a concert successful financially, as well as artistically. The girls also appeared in the Engineer’s benefit concert last year. It seems that the Glee club is attracting some attention not only in school but in general musical life, as Mrs. W. O. Fryberger, editor of the Thursday Musical Clarion, commented upon the good work being done. By faithful practice the girls have in their repertoire many g«K d selections such as the “Bridal Chorus” from “The Rose Maiden.” several compositions by Schumann. “Barcarolle,” by Offenbach, and Rest,” arranged from Rubinstein’s “Melody in F.” All the persons interested in the club are looking forward to the concert which is to he given shortly after Easter.

The club was called together in December of last year. It immediately drew up a constitution and proceeded to elect officers. From that time forward the boys have practiced faithfully each Friday afternoon from 1 :30 until 3:00. Under the leadership of Mr. Darr we have l een able to take up and master several difficult pieces liesides a variety of national and school songs. The aim of the dub has been to make the West High Glee Club the strongest and best organization of its kind in the city, and under the able leadership of Mr. Darr and with the support of the school we exjiect and arc sure of accomplishing our aim, thus making West High the standard in another department of school life.

The main clause in the constitution is to create, maintain, and extend a high standard of Christian character among high school fellows. The clubs from the five high schools meet weekly at the main building of the V. M. C. A. A light supper is served, after which some prominent man delivers a short speech on some vital topic such as. “The use and abuse of money.” “Work. “Politics,” etc. At the close of the address the club adjourn to separate rooms. Here a short, snappy discussion is held lasting from twenty minutes to a half an hour. Each club has a leader who directs the discussion. 'Phe West High Club has been especially fortunate in its leader, Mr. C. M. Way. He has given his time, his help, and interest, and under such guidance it is hoped that we may Ik even more successful in the future than we have been in the past. David Shf.arcr. iTty-pim Third Term Physics ANEW departure has l een made in the Physics Department, and again West High sets the pace in science work. At the loginning of the second term Mr. Cook, in compliance with a special request made to the Superintendent, was granted the privilege of conducting an advance class in physics, not with the intention of carrying students into university methods, but with the purpose of making the work more practical and of showing the application of the principles of physics that have been carefully studied during the first two terms of the course. The present “pioneer class has made an investigation of the motive powers,— heat, hydraulic, and electric,—and under these topics they have made themselves familiar with the workings of the internal combustion engine, the water turbine, hydraulic pump and the electric motor. During the term visits were made by the class to the various industries of the city and the recitation work was supplemented by laboratory work and the making of useful apparatus. It is the expectation that if the “third term” idea is a success it will be introduced into all the high schools of the city. Seemly EXHIBIT AT THE ELECTRIC SHOW Engineers’ Club THE Engineers' Club of our school still flourishes. Both the aeroplane ami the wireless divisions “made good” during the past school year by the work accomplished. The club made an enviable record for itself at the electric show held in the Armory during the first week in February. Their exhibits were as follows: Earl Billiter, spark gap and high power wireless key; Chas. Boehnlein, wireless telephone; Alexis Casewell, sending and receiving wireless sets and storage battery; Ralph Colby, portable wireless outfit; Philip Kdelman, water-cooled wireless telephone; Loren Franklin, receiving wireless set and loose coupler; Chas. Hedwall, wireless telephone; Arthur Mason, complete receiving set and variable condenser; Wm. Rochford, electric boat and pocket wireless outfit; Raymond Thayer, complete receiving set with automatic control, and Tesla coil; Frank Webster, monoplane of his own design; Walter Westerman, receiving set loose coupler and detector of his own design. . ■' rrnty-onc DEBATE TEAM Dean Campbell (Captain), Edwin Chapman, Alvin Scott. second team Donald Timmerman, Emmons Ables, Robert McLean, Frederick Hanna.

After all. the season was a successful one. The success of the team was due in no small measure to the untiring efforts of an unusually strong second team. Robert McLean, Emmons Abies, Donald Timmerman. and Frederick Hanna made up this team and before each debate the members of the first team, Edwin Chapman. Alvin Scott, and Dean Camplwll, were made to fight for their places. It would -be impossible to state of how great importance was such competition. At the present time a schedule of inter-class debates is being arranged for the purpose of securing candidates for next year, and to arouse greater interest in debate. In Edwin Chapman, West has a speaker of no little ability, and under his leadership a championship team seems more than a mere possibility. The first team leaves in April to debate the strong team of Duluth, Minnesota, whether they win or lose, it can Ik counted on that they will give a good account of themselves, and if they show the true West “fighting spirit” which has thus far characterized their work. Duluth will at least have an opportunity to hear a real debate. H. Dean Campbell, Captain, '10, ’ll.

Captain ’ll Such is our 1910 record. Although we did not win all the games, 1 think that we can feel justified in saying that our team was the equal of any other high school team in the twin cities. Practice was called rather late, Mr. “I.ex” Chestnut, one of the coaches of the 1909 championship West team l eing appointed coach. From our championship team of 1909 only five men remained, Ganssle. Hans, Feeley, Clark, and Mattern. Many promising new men were out, however, and as the date of our first game approached the team took on a very promising aspect. Everything went along smoothly until just l efore the Central game, which was for the championship of the Twin Cities, when we lost three of our star back-field men; Gardiner, fullback, Root, quarterback, and Van Nest, halfback. This loss made it necessary to substitute three new, inexperienced men, making things look rather gloomy for us. Although we did not win this game and though we lost the championship this year, you may feel • tft-HlHC aaM THE SECOND TEAM assured that every man on the team did Ins best to uphold the standard of West High School. We wish to thank our loyal rooters for their grand support given us at all the games, and also the meml)ers of the faculty for the splendid banquet given us at the close of the season. Joe Mattern, Captain, 1910. The past season was not as successful as some of us desired. But in looking forward to next season a good team seems assured. Although we will lose some of our best men.—and their loss will be felt,—the material for next season is unusually promising. With such men as Mattern. Hans. Torrence, Lewis, Bateman. Gardner, Van Nest, and Walker, and an exceptionally strong second team to select from, it would seem an easy matter to build up a strong team next fall. There is absolutely no reason why West cannot send a championship team into the field, and it is toward this end that we will work. Chester Feeley, Captain, 1911. Eifjhti Kit h I ft Oltr Hockey Til 10 Hockey season started with its usual rush, and from the tir t practice a large number of promising candidates appeared to try for positions on the team. Owing to a new eligibility rule we found but two of last year's men in the line-up for the first game of the year with North. But this did not dampen the confidence of the team and they proved their worth by trimming their opponents 8 to 0. The next game which was played with East, proved to In. one of the fastest games of the season. West, however, managed to win a 3 to 2 victory. In the following game with Central. West was defeated 1 to 0. The very poor condition of the ice did not permit any team work, and the game of shinny that followed was not a fair test of either team’s ability. North was again met and handed a second beating of 9 to 1. East proved less invincible in our second game with them and received the small end of a 7 to 2 score. Our second game with Central was the most hotly contested game of the year. The game started at 3 o’clock and ended when it Ixrcame so dark that play could not Ik resumed—6:15 o’clock. The score stood 3 to 3. Owing to Central’s disregard for eligibility rules they forfeit this game and two others, which gives West the hockey championship beyond a doubt. The following received their letters: Callaway, Ganssle, Doer, Puffer, Benham, EblhtV1 Track Team THE West High Track Team is just commencing its third season. The first season of track work at West was not highly successful, but last year due to the excellent coaching of Dick Grant, of the “U. of M.,” the team showed wonderful improvement. This year our coaching combined with our experience will put us in a position to put the best track team in the field of all the Twin City High Schools. We have planned, this year, several inter-class contests consisting of a cross country run and an inter-class field meet. The Faculty of the school have generously offered a cup to the class winning the field meet, and this will lx sure to bring out the best competition between the classes. We have been provided with suits, and it is now up to the team to make good, and I think a successful team may l c predicted for 1911. Alvin E. Scott, Manager. Mohtu thrtr R. KENNEDY G.

Walker had five hundred buttons to be sold so that the baseball team might have new suits. Mr. A. N. Ozias, the principal, announced that Wednesday, March 8, would be “button day.” The time it took to sell those five hundred buttons was just the fifteen-minute period of that day. The school body showed its desire for a team. The “sphere chasers” will try and turn out a championship team to show their gratitude to the West High School supporters. “Captain” E. A. Walker expects to have some of the following men in the line-up: Paulick, Clark, Burleson, Hocum, Gardner, Root, Madison, Van Nest. Davis, White, Eeeley, Lincoln, Scott, West, Mattern, Jones, Ash, Bateman, and Campbell. Mr. O. L. Lord will be the baseball coach. St. Mathew Clark. The annual inter-class basket ball games are to be played in Cooke’s gymnasium on Friday evening, the twenty-fourth of March. From the sale of tickets a large crowd is expected to turn out and will be treated to a fine exhibition of basket ball and an interesting program by some of the University gymnasium team. Owing to the fact that the Hesperian went to press before the games were played, it is impossible to give the results, but each class had a strong team in the field. The Senior, Junior. and Sophomore teams all are composed of old players and an interesting fight for the championship is predicted. William Calloway, Manager. I-lyhty-flee Ash, ’08. Austin, ’09.

When going through the lunch room, please cross from side to side as this creates endless confusion and amusement for the spectators on the outside. 2. Please do not buy your tickets at the book room. The young lady is placed there for ornament only and does not like to be disturbed. 3. If you have no lunch tickets, don't worry, but help yourself, as the lunch room is run for charity purposes only. 4. If you find an oyster in your oyster stew, you will probably faint, and as the soup is usually cold and highly diluted, kindly ask your neighbor to dash a little of it upon you to revive you from the shock. 5. Upon dumping your soup in your neighbor’s lap, kindly assure him that you didn’t like soup anyway. 6. When crowding through the lunch room, kindly rub your ice cream cone into the neck of the person ahead. This is a popular diversion enjoyed by all with but a few exceptions. 7. I f upon arriving at the lunch room door you have forgotten your tickets, don't mind the teachers, but turn around and return for them, and if pursued break into a sharp trot, this will afford your pursuers sufficient exercise of which they are beyond a doubt greatly in need of.
