A TRIBUTE TO THE WEST HIGH COMMUNITY WEST HIGH is proud of its community. All that a school could desire in the way of backing, no matter what the project, is immediately forthcoming from that source. One of the most active, the longest established organizations is the West High Parents and Teachers’ Association, whose beneficial results, if listed here, would be many and varied. Quite its highest pinnacle of service is reached in the closer co-operation between teacher and parent for the most effective advancement of scholarship. Then, too. who can tell how many lower classmen have been or will be spurred on to greater effort, inspired with higher ideals in learning when they see the recognition which the association now makes of the senior honor roll? Admission into the West Key Society, founded by this same organization in June, 1921, together with the gold key as a symbol of membership, is a worthy goal for which to strive, whose primary stepping stone is scholarship. To the Parents and Teachers Association do we owe the credit for much of the awakened interest throughout the West district in the last few years. The business interests of our community have long been loyal to West High School and its projects. Well deserved is the appreciation which the thought of such long standing support calls forth. Not only has our Weekly been considered worth while as a continual advertising agent but also every call for the use of furnishings in our class plays, for advertising in our yearly Hesperian—all these and more have been met with careful and considerate attention on the part of the solicited. Such prompt, dependable assistance has many times been an important factor in the success of the ventures engaged upon by the student body and faculty of West High. Although a newer branch of community support, the Athletic Mothers’ Club must lose no praise for its admirable work in the school. The Mothers of both the boys and the girls have joined to form one of the most gratifying organizations which this school possesses. Good, clean sportsmanship receives a life-giving impetus when these faithful patrons of athletics are to be seen at every game that West High plays. Corresponding to this club comes one that is even more recent in its establishment; namely, the Fathers’ Club of West High. Father is no longer just the usual business man; for he has become a boy again, together with all the other fathers, through the close companionship between father and son in the club. The plans for broadening the scope of the organization and for making it even more of a factor in school life than its late arrival in community circles now warrants, are well under way. Untold benefits are prophesied for such a club, the need of which has long been felt. For the privilege of calling such a community its own. West High is willing to do much. For have we not been told in some writing of the past, that, No matter what the price, no effort is too great when the ultimate ends justify the means. Hence our tribute to the most loyal community that it has ever been the good fortune of a school to possess, followed by our earnest pledge to make the best of our present opportunities, so that one day we shall become citizens who will be a credit to the West High Community.

CREEDS By Wanda Orton For tke Freshman 3f fflclteOf in clean, conspicuous books, in Seniors, and in minimum requirements. I promise to study all my lessons, to subscribe to the Weekly, and to greet my adviser every day with a smile, no matter how unfeeling that person may be in regard to my personal idiosyncrasies. 1 will at all times remember that it is the duty of the adviser to polish uncut stones, so that the gems may some day dazzle the sensibilities of the University of Minnesota. 1 shall have for my motto, Cheer up, little Koh-i-noor, you’ll be a crown jewel by and by. For the Sophomore 31 Jflflicbe in long auditorium sessions, in class excursions, and in minimum requirements. I promise to see all my fellow men with democratic vision—even Freshmen. Every day I will eat a well-balanced lunch, not combining pickles with milk, nor ice cream with hot soup. Under all circumstances will I endeavor to become enthusiastic about the square of the hypothenuse, book reports, and June lessons. My motto shall be, 1 may bolt, I may run, 1 may skip school if I will—but the minimum requirements follow me still. For the Junior 31 Jflfliebe in bidding farewell to the front hall crowd at 8:20, in cultivating an intellectual ten minutes in anticipation of the first hour class, and in passing all minimum requirements. For the hall locker I have at last received, the assiduous polishing from my adviser, and the important feeling 1 now possess, may I be properly thankful. Throughout the year my motto shall be. L’univers, I’univers, tout entier c’est a moi. 1 couldn’t have said that two years ago. For the Senior 3! Belittle in the general efficaciousness of English II, English V, English VII, and English X, in Batch, and our future athletic field. I no longer believe in minimum requirements; I don’t have to! They are my alter ego! 1 can confront with proper poise a parallel construction, a test by Miss Penney, or Mr. McWhorter. 1 promise to make my graduation pictures as interesting as possible, to buy a copy of the Hesperian, and to pay all my just debts. My motto shall be, All the world’s a stage. If I can’t play leads (as I am beginning to discover) let me make the characters worth while. For the Teacher 31 iBeliebe in the cheerful heart and the strong right arm, but not in too big a stick. I promise, after flaying myself daily with the scourge of self-criticism. to sleep peacefully and to arise next morning with incorrigible optimism. My class room shall be at all times a democracy; my motto, Which am I—grit in the wheels or oil in the cogs?” Page 10
