Activities IN winter, when the crops had been gathered and the caravan had reached the end of its journey for a few more years, the settlement gave itself up to the lighter and more inspirational side of life. On frosty, starlit nights, the gay young people skated on the pond close up to the little group of cabins, whose lights shone out over the hillside—the evening star of a new country. When the winter grew too inclement to skate, singing schools and discussion societies took up the leisure time of the pioneer. These organizations unified and gave expression to the life of the community, just as school organizations and clubs do to the present day school. . .

The WEST HIGH WEEKLY has completed its ninth successful year in the Held of high school journalism. The Weekly started in 1915 with a four column paper and has grown to its present size of seven columns. In 1920 and 1921 the Weekly carried off first honors in the contest held by the Central Interscholastic Press Association for the best high school paper in the United States. It tied for this same honor in the decision of the Wisconsin judges in 1922 and 1923. In spite of frequent changes in the editorial board, the Weekly has attempted to publish news of interest to the whole school, and although many of the workers will graduate this June, those who follow’ will strive to maintain past standards. -VL Page Seventeen DEAL JACOBSEN BRACKETT SWAIN' WEDGE INXBS MAC RAC MOOS NORTON HAKDWKLL MOORK KORBUTS ROW® ANDERSON IIEAI.Y OFFICERS William MacRae......................President Arthur Anderson ....................Vice President Lf.Roy Jacobsen ------- Secretary TUI- UPPER CLASS ADVISORY COUNCIL was organized in the spring of 1923 to foster student self government and to allow the upper classes an opportunity to participate in the administration of the school, as the need for such an organization seemed apparent. I rnler the leadership of George Langford, the first president, and including such members as Bill Meili, Roger Gurley, and John Weber, the organization originated the point system for the purpose of limiting the activities to which a student may engage in, and started the practice of assisting at various auditorium programs. Beginning with the fall of 1923 the Upper Class Advisory was organized with the following officers: Margaret Murray, president; Russell Brackett, vice president; Helen Swain, secretary. It was during this semester that the Upper Class Advisory Council perfected the point system by changing the number of points for each activity. Another feature which it is hoped will come to mean more and more to West High School was the sponsoring of the adoption of an original creed which would seem to embody both the aims and aspirations of every class at West. After a careful consideration by the judges of the many creeds which were submitted by the students at large, the creed written by Earl Gcisen was selected, as it seemed to contain the sincerest expression. Another movement fostered by our group was the idea of specially rewarding the senior who shows marked abilities. William MacRae, President.

Its purpose is to promote interest in taking of good pictures, and to teach its members the principles of composition and how to obtain artistic effects, as well as how to learn the technicalities of developing, printing, and enlarging. The club is continually adding material to the dark-room apparatus, and the products of the club have been improving noticeably since its organization. During “Education Week” the Kamera Klub was the only club in West High that was represented, having a collection of prints taken and mounted by the members on exhibition in the library. Meetings are held in Room 321 every Tuesday, one meeting being devoted to business, another to developing or printing, and, when necessary, the time is spent in enlarging and mounting, or in holding discussions that may arise between members on problems of photography. In exceptionally good weather, the club goes on hikes and picnics, taking pictures on the way. As the available dark room space is small, the membership is limited to twelve, but under the faithful guidance of Miss Georgia M. Rees, its faculty adviser, the club accomplished much in its own interest, and has contributed largely to the photographic sections of the Hesperian. We hope to be able in the future to add to our equipment and to increase our efficiency, John Lincoln, President. Page Nineteen POST PKIOT A. MC DOM ELL HOPPER THOMSON POWERS POSBERC. M.

In order to win a “W” and to be a member of the Girls’ “W Club a girl must earn six hundred points. This means that she must go out for several branches of athletics, for two hundred points is the largest number of points that can be earned in one sport. In the fall of each year an initial meeting is held for the election of officers and initiation of new members. At this meeting the plans for the work of the club are laid out and discussed. Regular monthly meetings arc held at the homes of the members of the club. The first of the meetings is devoted to business; afterwards refreshments are served and the remainder of the afternoon is spent in dancing. With the growing interest in girls’ athletics and the increasing number of “W” winners we have every reason to believe that in the near future our organization will be able to boast of as large a membership as the boys’ “W” Club.

Lbbt....................Faculty Adviser OOD things come in small packages. This time worn state-merit may be well applied to the Round Table. Although our membership is small, consisting of Juniors and Seniors of good scholarship who are willing to assist in the library one period a day, we feel that our organization takes a most active part in the every day life of West. Aside from our assistance to Miss Feet, we have started a permanent library repair fund; we have given a successful sunlight; and we have attempted to bring to the school the value of a well regulated and well used library as an aid to concentrated study. We have monthly business meetings during which the problems that arise daily are discussed and remedies offered. We also have one social function in the home of some member. Our new members are usually taken in during the fall of each year and the activities of the club start immediately. At present we have only eight members, but intend to take in new members to take the place of those who graduate in June. Formerly teachers directed the study in each period, but this year a decisive step toward student government has been taken in the placing of the students on their own honor while in the library.

In the fall, soon alter the election of officers, the activities of the club immediately began, and the club gave a very successful sunlight in the girls’ gym. The proceeds from this sunlight were used to buy a basketball trophy. The purpose of this trophy was to create class spirit in inter-class basketball games. The first winners of this coveted award were the sophomores, who won after a series of hard elimination games. With the graduation of Richard Sawyer and several other prominent athletes this winter, new officers were chosen. Leigh Altfillisch was elected president, John Conway, vice president, and Joe Gitlin, secretary. The “W” Club in its efforts to exert its influence and energies throughout the school has offered Mr. Boardman its services to aid in keeping the corridors and rooms in good order. This year a pin also was adopted as an emblem, consisting ol a small green enamel “W on a white background. This pin is now being worn by the members as a permanent insignia of the organization. It is the hope of the club that next year the work and organization will be completed with the same success as was encountered this year and that its possibilities as an aid to a better West will he seen by its members and by the school.

President l ice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser LAST September before school opened there was a group of West boys who attended Camp Icaghowan at Cireen Lake, near Chisago City. They were there three days, and during that time they formulated plans for the making of a better Hi-Y Club at West. A membership of about forty boys was built up around this group in the months that followed. A helpful program was arranged with some notable speakers listed for the different meetings. Twelve delegates attended the Older Boys’ Conference held at Mankato, from November 30 to December 2. I bis was the largest group that the club had sent for several years. One of the club members, Russell Brackett, was honored by being elected vice president of the conference. It was decided after the conference that the club needed a more varied program, and with the opening of the winter term a new and successful program was launched. Three sets of discussions led by capable leaders were arranged. The publication of the Hi-Y-An, a handbook of West High School, was attempted in February for the second time. It was received very well by the student body, especially by the Freshman group. It was intended that the book should prove to be of the greatest value to them. It is the hope of the club that this publication may be put out annually. Avery Moore, President.

In forming this club they had three definite aims: first, to promote cleaner and better athletics; second, to establish the co-operation of the athletes, students, and faculty; and third, to create a better spirit of fellowship among the students. We have at present an active membership of fifteen. To be eligible a man need not necessarily he a letter man, but he must be one who is working for the best interests of West High School. This year the Aces organized a Rooters Club, a group of about seventy-five fellows who are all sincerely interested in the athletics of the school and who are helping preserve the slogan “West Wins.” We believe and hope that with the successful start we have given them and with their own pep and initiative that they will become one of the most active and progressive groups in the whole school. This June several of our number will be lost by graduation; however, we hope to fill these vacancies next year with fellows who have the true interests of West at heart and who will carry on the work so successfully begun by our charter membership. We, the Aces members, wish to express our appreciation to our faculty advisers, Miss Wilson, Miss O’Gordon, Mr. Zavodsky, and Mr. Richardson and to our friends for their part in our most successful year.

Duel President Vice President Secretary Faculty Adviser THE AIDES DE CAMP CLUB was formed in the fall of 1923 for the purpose of bettering auditorium conditions at West. This school year at West has been more crowded than ever before and the need of some kind of organization to take care of the crowds in our small auditorium led to the forming of our club. Its members were chosen from the senior classes to assist during all assembly periods. The membership of the club was limited to fifteen students. During the past year our club was able to be of assistance to the school, although our organization was not yet perfected. Our Aim—“To be of service to out school ” Our Motto—“Those who work best serve best”. Although we were practically unknown at first, the students cooperated with us, and we feel that after we have graduated there will be others ready to take our places and complete the work already started. We hope that the Aides Dc Camp will become a permanent institution at West. Cloys Frandbll, Vice President.

C. CLUB of West High, an organization composed of junior and senior girls of the school, has for its purpose the maintaining of the ideals of our school, and the promoting of a spirit of co-operation among the girls. The club, because of its large membership, has been divided into twelve circles. Each circle, called bv a Greek letter, has carried on the activity which interested it most. Some of the circles have cared for needy families: others have sent girls to settlement houses to entertain Page Twenty-Six the children; several have contributed money to various funds, while still others have been making Christmas gifts for next year. Through the circles more girls have taken an active interest in the affairs of the club and have come to know a larger number of their classmates. Two circles have dressed three dozen dolls for the Near East orphanage of Syra, (ireece. Besides the circle meetings, the club has held a general meeting once a month, which has been addressed by an outside speaker. At one of these Miss Alma Haupt, a West alumna, gave an interesting account of the work of the visiting nurse; at another Miss Poole of Wells Memorial I louse, told of the activities there; at the April meeting Mrs. Arthur Brin spoke in behalf of the World’s Need for Peace and Freedom and told us of the Youth Movement. Besides the circle meeting, the U. C. Club has held a general meeting once a month. Miss Alma I laupt, an alumna of West, and Miss Pool of Wells Memorial House have been among the many good speakers. The club has given three receptions: to the freshmen, to the teachers, and to the “Girls' Club of Central I ligh School; all of which have helped to promote a friendly feeling among the girls and their teachers. A banquet to the mothers and daughters was the final event of a very successful year and we hope that the L C. Club will be even more successful in its undertakings next year.

SCOTT ( F F ICERS Horace Morse -Lillian Forus -John Louis -Elspbth Scott -Miss Wanda Orton - President l ice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser FOR five years the Debaters’ Club of West High School has aimed to stimulate interest among the student body in the art of public speaking. The aim of the Debaters’ Club is to give equal opportunity for all members in good standing and exploitation of none. For this reason the Debaters’ Club docs not care to push a team at the expense of a number of inactive pupils. During the first semester, the Debaters’ Club held a careful tryout and took in ten new members to replace those who graduated last June. Immediately after, a scries of debates was held on the question: “Resolved that the Phillipines be given their independence immediately.” Elimination contest narrowed the struggle down to two teams, and a final contest was held in the auditorium last December. In February, Horace Morse, who won first place in the extemporaneous contest at West, was sent to Macalester College to compete with other ambitious orators from secondary schools. Lillian Forus also went to Macalastcr College to represent West in the Discussion League Contest. The results were as follows: Horace Morse won a place in the final state contest, and was one of the last six, receiving a bronze medal. Lillian Forus tied for third place in the Discussion League, and won a scholarship at Macalester College. Horace Morse, President.

Marion Fleck.......... President I'ice President Treasurer Secretary TI IK outlook lor the Marionette Club last fall was not very bright. All the famous old stand-by’s were gone, and those few members in whose hands the fate of the club rested lacked experience and self-confidence. Kncouraged by the results of the fall tryouts, the club began immediate action. In November the following three one-act plays were produced: “The Rehearsal,” by Christopher Morley, a play for girls which depends upon the clever acting of the cast for its success; “The Wonder Hat,” by Ben Hecht and Kenneth Sawyer Goodman, an artistic harlequinade; and “Who’s Coward,” by Katherine Kavanaugh, a typical modern play with an intriguing plot. Aside from the handicap presented by the lack of proper stage facilities, the plays were successful. The proceeds from these performances were put into a fund which will be used some time in the future for stage properties and more screens. In former years the club has rarely put on more than one group of plays in a school year. This season one of the aims of the Marionettes has been for quantity as well as for quality. So in March another group of one-act plays was produced, “The Trysting Place,” by Booth Tarking-ton, “Fourteen,” by Alice Gerstenberg, and “Enter the Hero,” by Thereas Helburn.

With these as a nucleus, the interest manifest in our leader was spread throughout the school, and new members were constantly added until an enrollment of eighty-four members was reached, and today, West High boasts a Glee Club second to none in the city of Minneapolis. The West High Glee Club aims to produce oratorios and cantatas, to entertain at special assemblies, to offer opportunities for individual expression in operas, and to study compositions of merit. Considerable time and effort was spent in committing “The Messiah,” by Handel, to be given at Christmas, but conditions in the school rendered its production impossible. Mr. Krieger at present contemplates offering a minstrel show somewhat later in the year. This sort of thing, although it is somewhat different from what the school is accustomed to expect from the Glee Club, will, I think, prove to be thoroughly entertaining. Many times during the year, it has been our pleasure to afford entertainment to the school at large in special assemblies.

WARD IIURTORD LARSON FINGER DKOROFF at the memorial service for ex-president Wilson, at the program to celebrate the Minneapolis Civic Music Week, and on many other occasions, the club furnished appropriate numbers. A great deal of benefit is derived by many individuals in the club who possess unusual talents, through the vocal and dramatic training which they are given in the production of operas. A spirit of co-operation is encouraged by these operas. It will be noted, that our time is given to the study of those works which are of the better class and by the best composers. Voices for membership in the club are tested for accuracy in singing true, and are passed on by a full vote of the club. By this method we are enabled to secure only such voices as are best suited to ensemble singing. It is to be regretted that our school does not afford an auditorium suitable for our performances, we finding it necessary to go to some other school to stage our operas. We trust that in the very near future this deficiency will be corrected, and we may soon have such a room as will be suitable for such presentation. As a member of the Glee Club I wish to thank the student body of West for their splendid support of our latest comic opera, 1 he Bohemian Girl, which was given in April. In producing this opera we tried something new in that instead of taking so much of the students’ outside time for the practising of the play, we used only the Glee Club period except for a few days just before the presentation. It probably took us a little longer to prepare, but our studies did not suffer as much as they would if the usual amount of outside time was used for rehearsing.

X Contrary to predictions, the club is still alive and in the opinion of Miss Souba, “Stronger, more interested, and interesting than ever.” The Script lives because it affords an opportunity for self-expression. The aim of the club has been to serve the school through the West High Weekly and the Hesperian. While Amy Lowell and Robert Frost have not as yet sent in their congratulations, we continue to print our work in the Eagle Feather of the West High Weekly. In each issue of the column, the Script edits and prints not only its own work, but also the compositions written by a West student other than one of those not belonging to the club. Each issue is edited by a different member of the Script. At our meetings, held every other week in 304, we have, besides refreshments and regular business, an anonymous contest in which poems and stories written by the members are read and discussed. After a poem or story has been read by our faculty adviser, each member in turn guesses as to who wrote it. It is needless to say that each member has developed several deceiving styles since this bi-monthly contest came into existence, while new stars have boomed up at every meeting. Since the above picture was taken, two members have been taken in: Charlotte Larson and Theodore Brandt. Ralph Bricker, President. Pagt Thirty Tv. • KfAvSOTIT GRAHAM WF.HDKB MKYKK KNUTSON GOTCHA!.!.

The West High Key Society was organized in June, 1921, by the Parents’ and 'Teachers' Association of West High School. Its purpose is to create and encourage high ideals in scholarship among the students. Its emblem is a Greek key bearing the letter “W” in Old English and surrounded with a symbolic laurel wreath. The activities of the society have expanded considerably. Each year the Key Society entertains the undergraduates who have a place on the honor roll. A plan is now under way whereby these students will be further recognized. The honor members of the June class were initiated into the society at a banquet held in the school building the latter part of March. The Key Society wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Fairfield, its faculty adviser, who has so generously given her time and assistance in helping to make the society a success. Three members of the Key Society who arc not in the picture arc Eleanor Vanderbilt of the December class, and Doris Clark and Louise Bestor of the June class. Martha Baker, President.

Krieger, the West High y-J Orchestra has just completed one of its most successful years. At the start of this year the orchestra made plans to increase its equipment and its membership. At present it boasts a membership of lifty-four pieces, however, there is still room for students who have some talent and who wish to increase their proficiency by daily practice under able supervision. In order to obtain an ideal balance of instruments, we still need some French horns, oboes, and basses. It is our hope that these required instruments may be obtained next year, and that enough new players will join us to take the place of those who leave this June. The orchestra has always played an important part in the activities of the school, for it has played at all class plays, commencements, and school functions in years past. This year it has also played an important part in student assemblies and entertainments. During Music Week, it held a special auditorium in conjunction with the Glee Club, to bring to the school a better appreciation of classical music. Our efforts were received in a most satisfactory way. Many famous musical masterpieces were worked out and although they proved to be more difficult than the average compositions played by high school orchestras, the organization has done creditably well and has received the commendation from its director, Mr. Krieger, that it was the best high school orchestra with which he had ever been connected. Any success that the organization may have had, can be attributed in a large measure to the unselfish and unceasing efforts of Mr. Krieger, who has turned out an orchestra that is a real credit to the school.

In the graduating class this term, there are six 1 lome Club girls. One of that number, Violet Larson, is on the honor roll and the others are to be commended for their good grades. It would he worth while also for those interested to be present at one of the Girls’ Home Club parties. Since the girls are free only in the evenings, the club parties arc held every other Friday night, and a more jolly crowd never frolics in the school library. After working hard and steadily at their domestic duties and studies all week, these care-free, joyous parties are a haven of delight to the girls. Worries are forgotten, new friendship formed, and as the old saying goes, “A pleasant evening is had by all.” Enough praise cannot he given to the girls who have the courage to work their way through school. About three years ago, Mrs. Malva Cameron Lockwood decided to try to make it pleasanter for these girls, and she organized this club. In three years, through the untiring and faithful work of Mrs. Lockwood and mothers of the I . T. A., the club has grown into an organization of which every Home Club girl is more than proud. Martha Quehl, President. Pag Thirty-Fir IIMriOM Cl SS DAV ULOOMQfIST MILLHPAI'OII GIUS ONE of the most beautiful things in the world is music. Sometimes in the rush and bustle of our regular school activities we forget about those students who have devoted their time and study to becoming accomplished in their particular line of music. For the last four years there has been held in all the city high schools a harmony contest to determine the best three or four in each school who would compete in a big city contest for three prizes given by the Minneapolis Journal, the prizes being $50.00, $30.00, and $20.00. 1 he judges are members of the Thursday Musical Society. Each con-, testant must enter an original piano composition. West has been unusually successful in these contests. In 1921, the first year of such competition, in the city contest held in our auditorium. Gwendolyn Brewster received the first prize, playing a composition entitled “A Song Without Words.” Marjory Feet, won the second prize with a composition called “Incense. Again in 1922 West won first prize when Harriet Levinson was the winner. Fast year West failed to place in the city contest. This spring in the tryouts held at West, Bernice Bloomquist, Babette Millspaugh, Mary Alice Day, and Bernice Giles won the right to represent West in the all-school program given at Jefferson Junior High on April 1. Bernice Giles of West won second prize in this contest. Harriet Fake of Central, and Norma Anderson of Edison, won first and third prizes respectively.

There are represented several different instruments as well as both boys’ and girls’ voices. To become a member the student must pass tryouts and be approved by the membership committee. Judges for tryouts are Mrs. Jenkins, Mr. Krieger, and a member of the Ladies’ Thursday Musical. The purpose of the club is to promote a higher standard and a greater interest in good music, and to give to students an opportunity for musical expression. To gain this end the plan this year has been a series of illustrated talks on famous composers. This not only familiarizes the members with music and musicians, but also gives them an opportunity to become accustomed to playing in public. The club is yet in the making, the picture being that of the charter members. It has the interest of many musicians in the city and if a success, will probably be the model for similar clubs in all the high schools. Martha Baker, President.

During our earlier meetings, numerous problems and difficulties arose which hindered our progress materially, but now we feel that we arc ready to start our work of extending of a better understanding and appreciation of the Spanish language among the students and our members. We not only study the language but we also study the life and customs of the people of Spain and the Spanish-speaking countries of South America. We devote the first part of our meetings to the giving of oral topics in Spanish. We attempt to give our members a closer insight into the peculiarities of this tongue by presenting speakers from South America and Spain. Our membership is now very small, but with the interest that has been shown thus far, we expect that our influence will spread throughout the school, and that our members will increase, enabling us to widen our scope of activity. It is the hope of our organization that next year more students see the possibilities of a group like ours, and that we will become one of the leading clubs of the school. Myrtle Grunnet, President.

Faculty Adviser THE DAUBERS’ CLUB was organized in 1918 by a group of ambitious art students from the art classes of Miss Rees and Miss Willard in order to do some extra pose and craft work which otherwise would have been impossible for them to accomplish. The club was then led by Helen Melrose and Dorothy Nelson. By the following year the club had increased to twenty-five enthusiastic members and six honorary members. Miss Rees and Miss Willard were then instructors of the club. Soon, however, Miss Willard left school and Miss Rees organized the Kamcra Klub, and as she could not handle both clubs, the members chose Miss Hazel Wheelock as their adviser. The Daubers’ Club meets every Monday afternoon in room 319. The club members are now doing costume pose work, which is being done in color. Three weeks are spent on each pose, while during the fourth week they are judged, and the best work is saved for the final exhibit, which is held at the end of each term. A prize is awarded to the person who has done the finest work. The members of the club arc always willing to make posters and signs for the teachers and various clubs about the school providing sufficient notice is given. Miriam McKinnie, President.

It is here that we come for our pleasant noon hour repast every day and yet we really know little of the workings of our school lunch room. The work that is required is hard to imagine, but under Mr. Giles’ fine supervision the lunch room has run along smoothly and it has completed another very successful year. In order to get a clear view of the large amounts of food prepared a few figures are necessary. Daily 220 eat in the lunch room; an average of 100 lbs. of meat is prepared each day; also 200 lbs. of potatoes and 650 bottles of milk are bought by the students. It requires 22 employees working at part or full time to keep the lunch room running efficiently. Ten arc there all day and they arc the regular employees while 12 students work there during the three lunch periods each day. Many people think that the lunch room is operating for profit, but all profits that are realized are used for improvements so that the lunch room can serve meals in a better and more efficient manner. I.ast year alone three thousand dollars were spent on lunch room improvements making that institution a self-maintaining organization.

Since our school body has grown to twice its original size, it has taxed the capacity of our library so that its usual condition is very crowded. The attendance of the pupils in the library is cared for by members of a library club, the Round Table. The work of reference and charging of books is aided by a library clerical class consisting of seniors and post-graduates who are interested in the subject cither as an immediate vocation or as a preparation for a college library course. The average daily circulation of the library is about 200, while an average of 450 students use the library daily for reference work Page Forty-Three OFFICERS Mrs. W. B. Roberts -Mrs. Charles A.

Announcement that C. W. Boardman has resigned as principal of West High School has moved the Parent-Teacher Association to voice its deep regret at losing his leadership- Coupled with the disappointment that Mr. Boardman will not return to West next year is a feeling of gratification that this school has been a stepping stone to a broader field, which will doubtless in turn give place to further advancements for so able an educator. Through the two years of his association with West, there has been a harmony in the working out of problems by the Parent-Teacher Association and Mr. Boardman which has resulted in definite benefits to the institution. A strict adherence to the highest principles on the part of both Mr. Boardman and the faculty has been reflected in the work of the student body, shown in the scholarship and character development of boys and girls of the school. During the past year activities of the Parent-Teacher Association have included programs of interest each month, the fitting of the first floor rest room for teachers, and taking part in efforts to overcome handicaps under which both the teaching and the student bodies have labored.

Much amusement was afforded the audience when the most secluded spot in the hotel was intruded upon by the private love affairs of Mrs. Briggs (Leith Shackle) and Mr. Ingclsby (Peter Grossman) and Bessie Briggs (Varian Prescott) and Bob Smith (Edson Curry).

On the contrary, we see the home of Mr. James King, as a wealthy American. Sidney Goldfish acted the part of the disgusted father especially well. The audience was moved by his portrayal of a man suffering from the strange malady of a perfectly normal reflex action of the knee. Virginia Hay was simply made for the part of Eva King, who always managed to have everything her own way until she ran up against that stone wall, Adam Smith (otherwise known as Dick Lindsay), in her eyes an atrocity wearing sleeve-garters and a tic clasp. This atrocity”, however, is to he commended on his aptitude in interpreting the part of Mr. King’s business manager. Harriet Stevens was very charming as Julie Dc Witt, who was very particular to have the flower which she put in her husband’s button-hole match his necktie. Toward the end we became anxious for some allusion to the Garden of Eden.

Page FortfStvrn Literary ON certain winter evenings when the driving snow outside locked the cabin doors more tightly than could any lock and key, the young folks found it pleasant to read, or to listen and to munch apples while grandpa and dad “swapped” stories. L Their books made the memories of T? old occasions back East live again—or called up new scenes to lire their (ft imaginations. In spare moments, too, they read literary works, in some instances neglecting their other work in their desire to finish the story—for their books and contemporary literature occupied the same place in the early life that modern literature occupies in our lives today. WHILE THE CARAVAN RESTS The last rays of a June sun were slanting across a sandy field, on whose flat surface the shadows of the approaching wagon train assumed a strange shape—the silhouettes of a group of figures playing desperately at hall. The caravan ascends a rise of land overlooking the plain, and soon settled down for the night. Overhead the stars shimmer in a mist-black sky: all is peace and calm. Each covered wagon symbolizes the future homes of the sturdy pioneers who will find their promised land. Nothing disturbs the stillness of the wonderous night save the heavy winging of a few' night hawks flying toward the lake shore in search of prey. As the night fires flicker low, Hesperus the leader of this sturdy band of pioneers, is cast into a spell by the beauty of this strange, unsettled land lying steeped in Western moonlight. I lis words, of the athletic field, the future of the present site of West, and of the leader that will come to the school, tell their own story: This sodless waste, Unfinished, forgotten when earth was made, Is a left over scrap of creation Misplaced when earth’s pattern was laid. And this hill which has for ages stood Above this field of brown, This place where, through a peaceful wood. Old Indian trails wind up and down. It is the center of the trails That stretch to North and East and West, Trails o'er which the settlers come To learn their school, the wilderness. The wagon trains shall come and come and come; Their clumsy, lumbering line will streak the sky— A century shall go by. From the future a voice speaks, “Shall come a leader, bring peace— Here shall he raise his stately building high.” Time has gone on and on and on, 'I hr caravan has reached its journey’s end. True to the voice, the man has come, And he is known as friend. Page Forty-Nine RAIN-HARPS The wind caught a tune from the end of the earth And brought it home to me. With the rain as its harp and a tree as its frame It spun its gold notes in glee. Of a hot dry land of shifting sand The harp twanged in a dusty rain. And the wind, with soft hand, retold how the band Found the trail and oasis again. Again, when the rain fell in fresh, pungent streams. And a ghost of a wind poked about, It hummed a tune of that dream of dreams— A love that lasted throughout. A wind that has blown around the zvorld Has played my rain-harp for me, And is it telling of things as they are, Or of things as it likes them to be. Elizabeth Robinson. •8-------------9- GREEN AND WHITE T is not the colors themselves of our school which we honor; it is the ideal for which they stand. Green and White is a symbol. All that is right; all that is honorable; all that is praiseworthy is centered in our colors. They symbolize the school spirit: high ideals, clean activities, steadiness in victory, and cheerfulness in defeat. West High alwavs has stood for and always will stand for the things which mark the leader, which make one school stand out from among many others, and which attract the attention and commendation of the public. Whenever we see the Green and White together in some unlikely place, away from the school, we involuntarily smile, because the sight brings back the memories of stirring victories, and unequalled pleasures which were a part of our school life. So let us always honor and proudly hail the Green and White; and beneath our fluttering pennon we shall ever see inscribed our motto: “West Wins.” Horace Morse. Page Fifty FUTURITY PEATED beside a roaring, crackling lire, my attention was wont to change from the book I was reading to the bright llames before me. Finally, with a yawn, I abandoned my story, and pulling my chair closer to the fire, I sat gazing into the Hames—and dreaming. It is a cold winter day. The large, white snowflakes, whirled about by the howling wind, touch the ground, and lo! behold a whiteness, clean and fresh as nature herself, covers the earth. Glancing down the storm-sw’ept street, I sec a lone girl. Vet, at a closer glance, I see that she is not alone, for in her hand she carries a violin. Reaching the first of the houses in this poor, this wretchedly poor district, the girl turns and enters. Five minutes later a mother and five children dirty, thinly clad, and ill fed, are listening to the story of the violin. Clear and sweet the notes pour out, shaping themselves into a beautiful song which seems to say: “Brave mother and dear children, fear me not. The gold that you need, the sympathy that you long for, and the happiness that you deserve, I will give you. The girl has finished her song. Laying the violin down, she gives to the mother a few gold pieces with promises of more. Sympathy of the kindest and sinccrest sort follows this act, and then more music. Overcome by her kindness, it is not until the girl has left that the mother is able to express her thanks, w'hcn the gratitude in her heart is voiced in the simple prayer, “God. be kind to this noble girl who is somebody’s daughter, and pride and joy. The girl, who is known to the concert world as one of the best violinists in the world, is hurrying on to another unfortunate home, there to spread happiness. So you shall leave me, sitting and dreaming by my cheery fire, dreaming of the day when I may spread happiness over small parts of the world.

Page Fifty-One THE LEGEND OF THE SINGING OAK ANY moons ago, before the white men invaded their hunting grounds, the tribe of the Sissetons was one of the mightiest along the Father of Waters, but the anger of the Great Spirit had descended upon them. The Sisseton encampment along the banks of the mighty river lay in peace. The squaws, sitting before their wigwams, crooned their evening lullaby, the Hawk Song from Natoma, while the braves squatted in silence around the camp fire. Just as the sun, reddening the western sky, sank behind the tree tops, the singer, standing alone beneath the great oak tree, chanted his song of praise to the Great Spirit. As the last notes of his song died away, the Chief slowly rose and gazed on the stolid faces of his braves. “My scouts,” he solemnly began, “bring me news of a settlement of the pale faces. Tell me, are they our friends or our enemies?” Unbroken silence greeted his question. I he darkness deepened. The fire, burning brighter and brighter, was reflected on the glistening faces of the warriors. “Tonight my medicine men will consult the Great Spirit, and tomorrow they will tell us his soul,” he added. The braves returned to their wigwams. Far out in the river a fish jumped. The crickets sang their evening harmony. Night had descended on the Indian village. The next evening, after the Singer had again chanted his song of praise, the warriors gathered once more. The chief, followed by the medicine men, took his place at the fire. “My medicine men will tell us the wishes of the Great Spirit.” The first medicine man, the eldest warrior of the tribe, assisted by two young braves, rose. “My medicine says war with the pale faces.” One by one the medicine men stood up and gave their messages from the Great Spirit. “War with the pale faces.” The braves turned their eyes to the youngest medicine man, the Singer, who squatted in silence by the fire. Quietly he stood up and surveyed the faces around him, his lithe body outlined against the fire straight as a young pine. “My medicine says peace with the pale faces. They are our friends.” “His medicine lies,” grunted the first medicine man. “He is young,” the braves muttered. The chief raised his hand, “The Great Spirit says war with the pale Page Fifty- Tzeo faces. Tomorrow we attack their camp.” He gave the word, and the braves, decked in their war paint, began their barbarous dance around the fire. No one stirred in the settlement of the white men, although the sun was already high above the trees. Stealthily the Indians crept toward the camp. With a terrible war whoop they attacked the walls. But they had come too late. Another and more powerful visitor had been before them. The Great Plague had come among the white men, and few remained. The braves, imbued with the spirit of war, pillaged and burned. The only captive was a young girl. Terrified by the fierce warriors, she had clung to the Singer, who attracted by her beauty, had saved her from the tomahawks of the other Indians. Triumphantly the braves returned home, bringing with them the pale face girl, and an unwelcome guest, the Great Plague. It knew no mercy. Squaws and children died. The strongest warriors fell before it. Even the medicine men were powerless in its presence. The Chief gathered the remaining warriors in a council. The medicine men gave the will of the Great Father, “The just Manitou punishes us because of the presence of a stranger in our camp. He desires the life of the pale face girl.” The Singer quickly sprang up. Hostile faces surrounded him. ‘‘No, the Great Spirit is angry with the Sissetons because they disobey his wishes. It is his will that the white girl shall live. Slowly and deliberately the Chief stood up and faced the Singer. “The pale face shall die,” he decreed, “and you, O Singer, shall die with her. Your medicine is untrue.” The stake was prepared beneath the great oak. The Singer and the white girl were led forth. Just as the sun sank behind the trees, the flames leapt up around them. The warriors stood in silence. Suddenly, the mellow voice of the Singer was heard chanting his song of praise to the Great Spirit. As the flames hid the girl and Singer from sight, the song grew louder and louder. Even after the fire had died out and the Singer could be seen no more, the voice still issued from the depths of the oak, and the braves lingered, enchanted. The voice of the martyred singer continued to haunt the oak, and the remaining Indians, awed by a superstitious tear, willingly exchanged their land for a few trinkets and moved away. People passing in the evening still pause and listen to the aged oak. chanting the Sisscton’s song of praise to the Great Spirit. Ruth Snyder, Script. Paf e Fifty-Three I 4 ' i • ‘ A SCHOOL BOY’S THOUGHTS ON WORLD PEACE tCTT HEY have healed the hurt of my people lightly, crying ‘Peace, -i. Peace,’ where there is no peace.” This is indeed the condition in which we find the world today. Five years ago we signed the Armistice. But neither the League of Nations nor the Disarmament Conference nor the Outlawry of War is able to establish a lasting peace. And why? Merely because complete public opinion is not behind these things. An institution is as strong as the approval behind it. ♦ How can we expect the masses to abhor war, in view of the fact that down through the ages the soldier has been represented as the highest type of virile manhood. In the cradle we are given bright colored war toys; in the nursery we are encouraged to play with tin soldiers. History portrays Napoleon as a great man, a hero, though his every aim was selfish, his every act was for himself. Pages are devoted to campaigns; mere lines to philosophers. History, written from the point of view of one nation, creates race hatred, outworn superstition, and international prejudice in the heart of the student. We should be constructive rather than destructive. Children should be given clay to mold, crayons to draw with, and microscopes to examine the unknown. They should be taught that higher than any nation is humanity! The Bible says that God is our Father, and that we are all brothers. Instead of spectacular patriotism, history should teach that service to country, to humanity, to God, is the only true patriotism. The noblest function of education is to teach us to think in terms of humanity, and to develop a world mind. When education will have accomplished this purpose, it will have realized its most sacred duty. The coming generation, inspired by such an education to a more noble conception of humanity, will forget its petty jealousies and prejudices which have ever been the prolific causes of war. Then will the words of the prophet become an actuality. “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more.” Then shall the hurt of all peoples be healed, and there will be peace. Harold Lefkovits, Script. REALITIES Seated here, in a four-availed schoolroom With teacher murmuring unrealities; Memories float to me unbidden On the birch-bark fragments of Remembrance— Of a lake, Blue with the light of heaven, Where loons, with mocking laughter Frolic on the spray-washed shore Or breast the mighty currents of the air— And know the feel of cool, clean wind Beating on outspread pinions; Where cold, clear springs Deep beneath the water bubble through; Where pines stand sternly straight In studied silence, and whisper age-old secrets of the forest— And I am part and parcel of it all; I am the sturdy voyageur laughing among the waves, Or wandering miles through pathless forests; I know the feel of cool, clean winds come from afar— With me, the age-old secrets of the forest Remain unsaid—inviolate. I am part and parcel of it all— Though here in a four-walled schoolroom. Harold B. Burton, Script. FANCIES I would not fancy castles, but a cabin by the sea, Where I might live the life I love and do what suited me. Vd like to row out far upon that rolling sea of blue And fill my net with silvery fish, as Norsemen fishers do. Vd like to hear the racuous scream of seagulls overhead, All gathering round my fishing craft, impatient to be fed. I would not mind the weariness that comes when day is done, For then the stars their vigil o’er the world has just begun. Beside a dying campfire, I would watch the moon’s pale glow. My dreams would take me down that path where moonbeams beckon so. Corice Woodruff. Page Fifty-Five GIDDAP LONG years of experience had made Jenkins, the teamster, an adept at the art of “stuffin' city sports,” as he called it. Seasoned resorters, who saw through his yarns at the start, encouraged him to greater efforts for the sake of the entertainment there was in listening to a vivid imagination running wild. One of Jenkin’s duties was to entertain the guests on the ten mile drive to camp by feeding them up on tales of the life in that neck of the woods, and especially of the advantages to be derived from spending a vacation in that particular camp. Jenkins was engaged in taking out to the resort a young fellow, who Jenkins immediately decided would make excellent material upon which to work. • .9 “Old Bess, this here mare had to kick a wild cat out of the road cornin’ in,” began Jenkins, as they settled back in the seat. “Are you sure it wasn’t a rabbit?” countered the visitor. Jenkins turned quickly, looked the sport up and down, and spat over the dashboard. “Giddap, Bess!” Nothing was said for a while. They rattled and bumped over the road for a mile or so without talking. It wasn’t proper, though, Jenkins reminded himself, to shirk in entertaining a guest. He’d try him out. “Whoa, gals!” he suddenly shouted, after watching the roadside carefully for a while. Then, pointing to the ground next to the wheel rut, “See that track? A mighty big buck has passed here since last night.” “H’m, I’ve seen sheep tracks that looked just like that.” “Wa’al, mebbe you have, and mebbe you hain't. Giddap, Bess!” Jenkins was utterly routed. His stock had sounded a new lower level. He decided to say no more. However, the sport had become interested, so he proffered the routed one a cigar as though nothing had happened. With a “Don’t kear if I do,” Jenkins was once more at his ease, and the way was paved for farther conversation. The clouds of smoke from the choice Havana soon made him thoughtful, and it wasn't long before he had another story on his conscience that had to be “got off.” This time, however, he advanced cautiously. “This cigar reminds me of old Doc. Stevens. Yep, he used to pass out these here kind. Him an’ me, we used to go huntin’ together every fall. One time I’d just downed a big buck when I hears Doc. holler. It seems that Doc. had just plastered a doe an’ was openin’ Page Fifty-Six her throat, when sudden a crazy buck comes tearin’ at him from out of the brush. That wild-eyed old buck made for Doc. and knocked him sideways up agin’ a birch in a jiffy. An’ if 1 hadn’t a come along an’ plastered that ferocious animal, Doc. would’a been playin’ a harp now. The old boy was knocked clean silly, and so I had to tote him to camp on my back. He weighed nigh two hundred, so I had my hands full. After I carried him to camp a mile away and brot his senses back, 1 went out and lugged two deer in on my back.” This was altogether too much for our visitor. “You mean to tell me—” he began.—“Whoa, gals!” yelled Jenkins. The horses stopped with a jerk. There in the road just ahead of them lay a great windfall blocking their way. “Holy gee whiz!” exploded Jenkins. “She’s a birch too, tougher’n blazes to chop out, an' I left my ax in camp.” Sure enough, it was a tough old birch, and on account of the thick underbrush on both sides of the road, there was no room to drive around. With a disgusted frown Jenkins jumped down to look it over. Suddenly his eyes lighted up, for he had seen that it was a hollow, rotten old scrub, held together by only the tough bark. From where the sport sat on the wagon, it looked like a heavy, three-foot, hardwood birch. “Wa’al,” mused Jenkins for the sport's benefit, “If 1 did have an ax, it would take more’n two hours to chop ’cr out. There's only one thing to do, so here goes.” Thrusting his broad shoulders under the trunk where it had broken off, he gave a stout heave, and with a crack the scrub came loose from the stump. Then, staggering theatrically, he crossed the road, keeping the hollow end away from the sport’s sight, and dumped the windfall into the brush with a crash. The visitor gasped, “You certainly are a wonder for strength. Why, I actually believe you did carry that Doc. person and those deer home on your back.” “Yep,” spat Jenkins, “we has to do desprit things once in a while up here in the woods.

Thou art God's first Herald of the joyous coming Spring, Telling us and thrilling us with joys, thy coming brings. Charlotte Gray, Script. Page Fifty-Sr re a Classes BUT in spring the books were cast aside. A restlessness made more acute by reports of the wonderful country which lay beyond, pervaded the settlement. The call of the road was too insistent for all to resist, and soon it was rumored that part ol the settlement was preparing to go West. There was a hasty gathering together of belongings, the last good-bvs were said, and a new caravan, smaller and more experienced than the first one, lumbered off, and before long disappeared in the Western horizon. Our senior caravan, too, moves on, a smaller and wiser one than the caravan which entered four years ago. And the seniors are bidden godspeed with the same optimism as were the immigrants of yesterday. HONOR R O L L J anuary Alice E.

We have been fairly successful in athletics. Our athletes have tried to play clean and hard, and to win or lose as sportsmen. We have ranked high in scholarship, and we arc especially proud of our members who succeeded in making the honor roll. In school activities and from a social standpoint, we have probably accomplished quite as much as the larger June classes. In short, ours is a well balanced class, and I think we have done our bit to make a “better West.” The four years spent at West have been happy and prosperous ones for us, and our experiences here will be guide-posts in our later lives. We are grateful more than words can express to the faculty which has so unselfishly helped to develop us, despite our sometimes foolish attitude which at first we may have taken toward school. We can thank our instructors only by applying their teachings to our actions after we graduate. As we leave West, our class is widely separated, but wherever they arc, I think the members of the January class of 1924 will look back upon their four years at West as being not only very enjoyable, but as being also profitable in that the principles which their teachers so faithfully attempted to instill in them, influenced their lives in a way which they did not appreciate at the time.

We hope the future classes will feel our accomplishments an incentive for them to do even better things than we have done. One of the first things this class accomplished was the elimination of the long established executive board idea. Various committees have taken care of all class business very satisfactorily. We want to thank sincerely every committee member for the admirable manner in which he did his work. In athletics, in scholarship, anti in school activities, we have met with great success. Our athletic teams have won a majority of their contests. Although the records of the basketball and swimming teams stand out conspicuously during the last year, we have at times sacrificed victory in order to play clean. In scholarship, the primary object of the school, the class ranks high. We have more students on the honor roll than any graduating class has had. In school activities our members have been very prominent. As we give up the role of students and join the ranks of alumni, a strange feeling of regret comes over us. Many of us do not realize that we have just started on the path of life. Greater victories and more bitter defeats than we have experienced in high school will come into our lives. We are grateful to our principals and teachers who have so constantly taken a keen interest in the moulding of our characters. We thank them for the high ideals of Christian living they have instilled in us, and we hope that the four years at West may make us more able to fill our places in life.

As the days grew warm and lengthened into summer, the “old swimmin’ hole ’ grew in popularity. To the drowsy hum of bees,pioneer boys made merry as they tried their strength. But they knew not the skill which was some day to characterize boys’ athletics, nor did they know how large a part athletics of today would represent in the busy life of a school. INNRS MANS ZAVODSKY ANDKRSON MR. C.UETZLOK FE1DT CONWAY BRACKETT MR. NORTON MR. GKUWKU. MR. ROACH ARNOLD ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL THE year just passed from March 1, 1923, to March 1, 1924, was very successful in regards to the amount of receipts taken in from athletics. The total amount of receipts come to $4,303.32. This is an increase of $51.00 over the receipts of last year. This year’s total is divided as follows: football, $2438.94; basketball $665.96; Green and White days, $542.98; baseball, $176.11; hockey, $172.86; lost equipment, $92.80; track, $90.66; tennis, $10.25; and miscellaneous, $123.26. Although the receipts from athletics here increased during the last few years, the number of boys participating in athletics has also increased and at every opportunity new equipment has been bought so that West’s teams may be as completely outfitted as possible. I bis winter the basketball team was issued some new sweat shirts, which are entirely different from the kind formerly used. T. P. Gruwei.l. Page Onr llunilreil Nint CROCKER ARNOLD LKACII MR. ROACH CIIAMilERLAlN MIKI.I CRBKN HRACKKTT LUCKK RYAN IINN FINN CHAPMAN MATTERN RIKHK KIDSVOID CHRISTIE DUNLAP GKISKN MANS MURPICLD KIRK PERRY ALTFILL1SCH FOOTBALL STARTING the 1923 football season with a hundred candidates out O for practice, it looked as though West was out for another good year, but handicapped because of a lack of coaches in the first few days of practice, the squad got off to a late start. Perhaps the hardest game of our schedule came first—that North game. Things looked rather bad for West until late in the tilt. In the first quarter, “Roots” Mattern, all-city half-back, was lost to us, and so serious was his injury that he could play no more during the season. By effective use of fresh men in the last quarter, West scored one touchdown and had the ball on the two-yard line when the final whistle blew. Score 19-6. Arnold, subbing in the back field, had the honor of scoring West’s first touchdown. Good work on the part of Ryan, Eidsvold, and Finn showed up here, and Finn started his good kicking. We were outfought in the East game. That really tells the story of that hard 3-0 defeat. With Mattern and Kirk out with injuries, Alt-fillisch hurt in the second quarter, and Perry injured in early practice, the West team showed to good advantage in mid-field, but lacked the scoring punch. South sent West into further defeat by a 7-3 score. Finn got in his excellent booting here, and also scored for us via the drop kick route. Gicsen and Murfeld began to show some of their good work as tackles, and Kirk was again able to show his stuff at guard. Playing Roosevelt at South field, West won easily to the tune of 38-12. Using two complete teams, West won its first game of the season and broke the hoodoo that seemed to be hanging over our heads. Page One Hundred Ten Cheered by a victory and a two weeks rest, the Green and White went into the Central game to do or die; they outfought Captain “Dutch” Beum and Company for a while, but the co-champs were not to be denied and finally won 13-6. Chapman furnished the thrill by running 98 yards for a touchdown after recovering a fumble. The Green and White showed that day to good advantage. The last game found us the under dogs, but not willingly, although West went into the contest without the services of Captain Mans. Over confidence on the part of Edison, and a determined fight on our part brought us victory. With Altfillisch back in shape, West made many long gains. Finn was always good for yards through the line, ami his drop kick made it look good for us. When Gicsen blocked a kick and carried it to the six yard line, we surely thought we had the game, but we failed, and it remained for our line—a fighting charging unit that day—to give us victory. A bad pass from center by Edison was downed behind her own goal line; this gave West the needed victory margin, two points, but it was victory well and honorably earned. This 5-3 victory closed the West season for 1923. It was not as good as we hoped for, but certainly not a disgrace. Several green men, a new coach, and many injuries were all hindrances, but West played clean and played better and better as the season advanced, so we are fairly well satisfied. Capt. Mans R. R. Roach, Coach. Coach Roach Page One Hundred Eleven ARNOLD RIKHK CRKKN MR. ROACH CHAMHRRLAIN HARVEY MIKU PKLTON CHAPMAN PECK l.VNIS MANS JACOBSEN BASKETBALL A I niOUGH every game was played on a foreign Hoor, the basket-ball team had undoubtedly the most successful season in the history of basketball at West. Immediately after the football season, Coach Roy Roach issued a call for candidates and nearly one hundred responded. After going through the process of elimination, a capable squad was picked and a series of practice games was arranged. These games with a single exception were all won, and on January 18 the team started the season by going up against North, but suffered its first defeat by losing after a bitter battle by 18-15 score. Coming back with blood in their eyes, Roach’s men gave East a severe drubbing by a score of 32-22. In this game perfect team work was attained. Following this tilt came the Edison contest with Edison being represented by an entirely veteran team. However, the boys from West showed the old fight and came out on the long end of a 20-19 score, when Chapman sunk a basket in the last minute of play. Starting in the second round of the season against North, the team entered the game with the odds against its members. This time Captain Innes led his team mates to a 26-25 victory and putting them in a tie for first place in the North-East division. Still continuing their win- Page One Hundred Twelve ning streak, they came back with a 26-16 defeat over East. In one of the fastest games of the season, the Green and White quint had a tough battle with Edison, hut came out with the long end of a 28-26 score, after playing an extra period. Meeting North once more the team was given a 24-16 defeat, due to the uncanny long distance basket shooting of the Northsiders. The final game of the season was played with Central on the Kenwood armory floor before a crowd of more than 4,000 spectators. However, the old jinx could not be done away with; the Red and Blue took its ninth straight basketball game from West. Much credit must be given to Coach “Roxie” Roach for the team he turned out and for his faithful work with the squad. And as much credit is deserved by the members of the team for the wonderful spirit and fight that they showed in every one of the contests. Led bv their captain, Don Innes, the team constantly showed the never-die spirit and proved to he a worthy representative of the Green and White. Raul Mans, Don Innes, Walter Chapman, Ellis Reck, and Milo Relton are the letter men who will be lost to the team by graduation. Although the team will be hard hit by the loss of these men, there still remains enough veterans to form a good nucleus for next year. LcRoy Jacobsen was elected captain of the 1924 squad. “Jake” proved himself to be probably the best standing guard in the city and was placed on various all-city teams. Jacobsen was noted for his scrap and aggressiveness and should be an able leader for next year’s basketball team. Capt.-Ei.fct Jacobsen Capt. Innis Page One I unJreJ Thirteen MC HEATH HUDSON MK. BRADLKY G ASK ILL YKLLAND MARCH RUSH FLYNN TYNKR SAWYKR GILBERT WARRKN CONWAY MALSKD HVKRS GROSSMAN MC CABK HOCKEY T T OCKEY apparently came into its own as a high school sport in 1± Minneapolis in 1924. The competition was keen; the teams of Central, Edison and West being of especially high caliber. The increased interest shown in this wholesome winter sport indicates that all that is necessary to place it on an equal footing with football and basketball as a drawer of crowds is a suitable indoor rink on which to play the games. About seventy candidates reported for practice at the beginning of the season and of these, twenty were carried on the squad throughout the season. Practically every man on the squad played in one or more of the regularly scheduled games. In the middle of the season West was forced to change her line-up considerably, due to the loss by graduation of the veterans “Dick” Sawyer and Harold “Yiddy Eidsvold and by the dropping out of school of “Ed” Kane, goal tender. However, led by their fighting captain, “Jack” Conway, the boys fought their way to West’s third consecutive championship. The best win of the Pagr One HumlrtJ Fmrtttn season came in the first Central game, when after being outpointed 3-0 in the first two periods of play, the team came back in the last period and scored three times to tie the score and in the ten minute overtime period counted three more times to win the game by the score of 6-3. The poorest played game, which resulted in the first defeat at the hands of a Minneapolis team in three years, was the oft-postponed tilt with Central which the latter school won by the score of 1-0. The game came after the regular season had closed and West had already won the city championship; hence there was a lack of interest in the game which Central took advantage of and deservedly tucked the game away, thereby taking second place in the city league and relegating the strong Edison sextet to third position. In the play for the Twin City title, West was at a disadvantage on the unfamiliar ice of the St. Paul Coliseum, yet held the clever St. Paul Centralites to 1-0 score during the first two periods and threatening many times to score themselves. In the final period in a desperate effort to net the puck, West sent its defense men down the ice only to find Central’s goal impregnable and to have Central slip in three more markers past the unprotected Green and White goal. In spite of failure to capture the Twin City crown, the game was a distinct satisfaction to all who saw it. The members of the 1924 hockey team tried earnestly to live up to the motto of the school. They fought to win and they did win, but they won by playing the game fairly and honestly. W. W. Bradley, Coach. Coach Bradley Capt.

Davidson is rapidly rising into the world of fame through his spectacular ball playing. He has been clouting out a .300 average for the past six years. “Yiddy” Eidsvold has been selected to do the brunt of the pitching for the Yanks. “Yiddy” has just perfected a triple ctirve ball that he has been working on since ho began his ball career in a Minneapolis high school. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 30, 1928.—Under the tutorage of Charley Paddock, a famous runner of by gone days, Leigh Altfillisch is developing into one of the fastest runners in tho world. Recently at the Olympic games young Altfillisch tore off the 100-yard dash in 7:02 seconds. He attributes part of his success to the training of Mr. Louis Zavodskv, his former high school coach. Paris, Dec. 18. 1928.- With but three minutes loft to play, Captain • Dicky Boy ’ ' Sawyer scored four goals for the American Olympic hockey team in the rubber game of the World Series. This is the second time Sawyer has led his teammates to victory over European aggregations. Madison Square Garden, Nov. 2, 1928. —“Tex” Jvirk, famous fight promoter, has at last secured a match the public has boon waiting for. After considerable dickering he was able to sign the world's champion, Battling Bob Sewell for at 15-round match with “Brick” Wall, a former Minneapolis pugilist. Sewell himself is an old Minneapolis man, so, as Mr. Edward Morgan, a sport authority, says, “As soon as the first bell rings both men will forget that they are gentlemen and proceed to turn tho ring into a slaughter house that will make Armour Co. blush.” New Haven, Oct. 31st, 1928.— For the third consecutive year, • ‘ Huck ’ Finn has been placed on every All-American football team in the country. This young Irishman, who came into prominonce in 1923 when he was playing for a West High School in Minne apolis, has so far averaged 79 yards in all his punts, and has alone scored 106 points for Yale during the season. Chicago, Dec. 30, 1928.—Swimming with a broken collar button Frank Lueke defeated Johnny Weismuller in three events. In tho forty, Lueke broke all A. A. IT. records when ho made it in 15:01. In tho 220-yard free stylo ho surprised the officials by meandering the distance in two minutes. But in the 100 yard free style he knocked Weismuller for a row of intellectual looks when ho traveled over the course in 45:02.

There were but three experienced boys in the organization who naturally assumed greatest responsibility in keeping West on the long end of the score, although the balance of the team made a creditable showing in both the minor as well as in the major contests. I'he indoor work consisted of a series of dual meets in all of which the boys scored heavily except in the one in which the unusually strong team from Central tied West for the city championship. The outdoor competition was practically a duplication of the indoor performances; Central again tied West in the city meet for championship. The usual invitations from the University of Minnesota and Carle-ton College to participate in the Annual Interscholastic Meets were accepted and West made a strenuous effort to wrest premier honors from her ever-threatening rival Minneapolis Central. But, alas! Both meets were lost by a scant margin, and both for practically the same cause. Pajff Out Hun,!tt,l Eijfhttn Inexperience of the largest portion of the team pushed them hack to secondary honors. With practically all the 1923 veterans gone, the 1924 track team had to he huilt up almost entirely from new men. William MacRae, La Monte Warrington and Marshall Crowley were the only letter men back. This number shrunk to two when Warrington became twenty-one last March. The situation at the first of the year was very alarming. There seemed to be no interest at all in track, but gradually the squad increased and we managed to have a team ready to enter in the race. At this writing, the Green and White has won three indoor meets. North withdrew from the race so West won on a forfeit. In the next meet our runners overwhelmingly defeated South by a 70-19 score. I he event with Last was almost a repetition of the South meet. West ran up 73 points to the Cardinal’s sixteen. The notion that a graduating senior can join a track team at the eleventh hour and make good is just as fallacious as it ever was. Phis season’s work proved that fact conclusively to many, I hope. A man may win a point or two in a dual meet and be perhaps entitled to receive a school letter, but in as far as influencing the score in a major contest is concerned he could as well be sitting among the spectators. There will never be winning track teams at West again unless the prospective candidates devote more time and effort to the sport by coming out early and staying late. Louis Zavodsky, Coach.

The team had a fairly successful season, although it did not win the championship. Coach Chamberlain had over ninety men answer his first call for diamond men, and after about a month's practice the team went up against CentraT for the initial game of the season. George Langford, on the mound for West, hurled nearly perfect ball, setting the Centralites down with but one hit. I Iowever, some bad breaks, two errors, and the inability to hit Thomas when hits were needed, lost the game for the Green and White by a 2-1 score. Coach Chamberlain’s men annexed their first victory of the season when they took the Cardinals in camp by a 12-2 score. The contest proved to be a field day for West. The Green and White’s biggest inning was the third when four runs were scored. The team made nineteen hits during the afternoon. West was put out of the running for the championship when it lost to South 17-11. The Green and White got over twice as many hits as the Southerners, but West’s twelve errors tell the story of defeat. Page One Hundred Twenty Langford pitched another good game against Edison and his team won 9-3. As in previous games the stick work of the Westerners was heavy. Langford, besides his good pitching, also cracked out three hits. West won its third victory of the year from Roosevelt 7-2 with nearly an entirely new line up. E ids void, with Jacobsen as his battery mate, pitched his first full game of the season and held the “Teddies” to four hits. With Langford plainly off form and with Shussin pitching one of the best games of his career, North beat West 8-6. The whole affair was nip and tuck, the Blue and White not winning out till the ninth inning, when it scored two runs. West finished with a .500 percentage— having won three and lost three games. West was tied with Edison and North for third place. South won the title while Central was second. Four veterans ot the team, Captain “Bill” Mieli, who played for three years, “Stew” Philips, Warren Olson, who played in the outfield for two years, and George Langford, who was placed on the Weekly all city diamond team graduated last June. The 1923 season also marked the re-signing of Coach Lynn Chamberlain, who left West to go into business. Mr. Chamberlain coached baseball for two years at West. I Ic is succeeded by Royal B.

This schedule this season consisted of eight dual meets, and participation in the Northwestern Interscholastic Meet sponsored by the University of Minnesota. West easily won all eight of the dual meets, thus giving us the swimming championship of the Twin City high schools. Jn the Northwest meet, West tied with Minneapolis Central for first place. As Central finished ahead of West in the relay, the meet was awarded to the Red and Blue, according to the rules. The first meet was with Hamlinc University on January 11. The Green and White won by a 44-24 score. On January 17, West continued the good work by defeating University High 48-11. The team met St. Raul Central on February 6, and won 39-29. A week later West beat the John Ryan Baths' team 38-30. In the next three weeks. West met Mechanic Arts, East, and Humboldt High defeating them by the one-sided scores of 44-24, 51-16, and 49-19. On March 12, came the meet which was to decide the Twin City Championship, the meet with Minneapolis Central. This meet was close and exciting, but West came through with a 38-30 win.

By placing five men in the city meet, West tied with Central for third place. A real leader, which the cross-country teams of West have had in the past, was noticeably lacking this year. The star of this year's team was surely Coach Louis Zavodsky, without whose untiring efforts nothing could have been accomplished. Because of the losing by death of Harry Nagell and by the graduation of Willis Norrdin and Glenn Jacobs, the outlook for next year is none too bright, and the team must depend largely upon the lower class-men to build up the 1924 squad. We also hope that the school will give the team a little more recognition and if this is forthcoming, we may expect a more successful season next year. Dan Feidt, Captain.

The Green and White finished second to Central, after losing a hard fought match by a 2-1 score. The members of the team were John Murphy, Archer Crandall, Neil Stewart, and John Rowe. The fall tennis season of 1923 was a repetition of the spring season in that West defeated every opponent decisively except Central, losing to that school twice by a score of 3-2. West defeated East, South, Edison, Roosevelt, and Vocational in the city championship race. North was defeated twice, once in the play-off of the tie which existed between North, Central, and West, at the conclusion of the season. The team was handicapped by the loss of Captain John Murphy just before the Central match through ineligibility. Captain-elect Gerald Smith filled in the vacancy in excellent fashion for the remainder of the season. The fall season of 1923 closed the tennis careers of Captain Murphy, Crandall, and Davidson. When Mr. Otis Smith left West this winter, the tennis team was without a coach, but Mr. W. R. Morton has been selected as his successor.

In the city meet with all of the other high schools, the team showed up just as well, if not better than West golf teams of the past. Instead of selecting the team in the haphazard fashion used before, it was picked in regular big tournament style. A qualifying round was held in which the sixteen low scores entered the school tournament. The four men that won their way to the semi-finals became members of the team. For the first time since golf has started in school, the tournament was played to the finish. The winner of the tournament is the school champion for the season in which he wins. The Athletic Board of Control voted to award the winner of the school championship a golf medal. Practically all of the team practices and tournament matches were held on the Glenwood course.

The purpose of the second squad is primarily that of furnishing good competition to develop a strong first team and the material for the future West High teams. No effort was made toward picking a regular second team to meet other school teams. During the season, however, several games were played with some of the other schools. These games were lost by close scores, and usually because of inconsistent playing and lack of experience. The squad showed improvement in action and a knowledge of the fundamentals toward the end of the season. Practically all of the squad will be back next fall, and should offer strong competition for positions on the first team. Royal Guetzloe, Coach. rTMim -A .

The team met and defeated teams which were admittedly possessed of more age, weight, and ability. The main object of the second team is to develop future first squad material. T his end has been accomplished. I'he new men who till the shoes of those graduating this year will be instead of raw material, experienced, hard-fighting youngsters who will only need a little first team competition to develop them into stars. This year is the first that West has had a second basketball team. Heretofore the first team material had been developed from the freshman squad. Royal Guetzloe tutored the team through its season and proved himself a capable mentor. His aid proved invaluable in giving the hints and suggestions that wear off the rough spots and develop finished team play. This system will, undoubtedly, become a permanent factor in the development of West High basketball teams, as the experience gained in second team competition is invaluable to the pro-motion of those smooth-working, hard-fightmg teams that West High fans love to sec in action on the floor.

Brackett Russ” was not exactly a rookie” on the football team in 1923. He was on the first squad in 1922 and bad played second team football before that. When Russ” gets time off from playing football, he usually spends it as captain of the swimming team and president of the senior class. SENIOR Geisen Earl waited until he was a senior before he became a regular tackle on Roxie Roach’s 1923 eleven. That year, however, justified his hard work to gain the position. He was placed on the all-city second team at the end of the season. Perry Ralph came to West from St. John’s military academy in his junior year. He made the first squad his first year here but did not become a regular till his senior year. Ralph was a fightin’ fool and was noted for his ability to break through the enemy’s line. Page One Hundred Thirty-One Walter Chapman . Robert Ryan Lf.igh Altfillisch Harold Eidsvold Chapman 'I'his athletic lad from Boone, Iowa, came to West in his senior year and immediately broke into the limelight. He played spectacular football and basketball during his all-to-short career. His 98 yard run against Central will not soon be forgotten and he ranked among the high scorers in the city basketball league. Altfillisch Leigh’s two years of football for West were featured by his hard driving off tackles and his sweeping end runs. He was one of the hardest hitting backfield men in the city. Aside from this he was an extremely fast track man. having won two letters in this sport. SENIOR WINNERS R an “Bob” won two letters in football while at West. He was a fast shifty backfield man, his defensive play being especially commendable. His work was praiseworthy for his hard, accurate tackling. “Bob” also earned two baseball letters, plaving shortstop in 1923 and 1924. Eidsvold “Yiddy’s” graduation deprives the school of the services of one of its most versatile athletes. He competed in football, baseball, and hockey and played brilliantly in all three sports. His loss will be felt keenly on all three teams. Page One Hundred Tkirly-Ttio Milton Dunlap Jack Christie Frank Lucre Harrv Finn Dull I dp This youth blossomed out in his senior year into one of the hardest fighting linesmen on the football ream. He distinguished himself during the season by his aggressiveness. Last year was Red’s” fourth on the team. He was also a star on the swimming team, winning many firsts in his favorite events. Christie “Long John did his stuff in a creditable fashion during last football season at center. Jack works hard at whatever he docs whether it be football or being feature editor of the 1924 Hesperian, and this, coupled with his unfailing good humor has made him a very popular student. SENIOR Lucke Frank started the 1923 football season as a substitute lineman, but when injuries to other players gave him a chance he showed himself to be a dependable regular in the forward wall. Besides his football activities Lucke was a star on the swimming team. Finn Finn was the only man to gain all-city recognition on the football team last fall. Huck’s punts were something that made not a few people sit up and literally gawp as the ball meandered through the air for about 55 yards. Harry was also a line plunger of no mean ability. Page One Hundred Th'trtyThree Frank Grossman Edwin Pickler Fred Byers John Conway Grossman Pickier “Red” was one of the speediest wings on the hockey squad this year and showed the spectators and opposing teams just what the word fight meant. Last winter was Frank’s second year on the squad. flyers Fred won his letter in hockey, where in his senior year, he developed into a fast and aggressive defense man. He .deserves a world of credit for his three years of hard work to gain the coveted felt. “Dutch also managed to he secretary of the June class and activities editor of this book. S F.

He came out strong in the golf tournament last spring. ‘“Eddie was one of the veterans back for the spring golf team this year. Cornu ay Jack Conway was one of the best hockey players and most able captain that the school has seen in a long time. His ever-present fighting spirit saved the teams’ three years’ unblemished record in more than one trying situation. He is a fitting captain for a championship team. Page One Hundred Thirty-Four Ralph Boos ' Henry Keyes Richard Furiier Lulof Enkema Boos Although this was his first year on the team, Boos showed up remarkably well, placing in practically every event he swam in. For the past year Ralph has also led the mobs in cheering at the football, baseball and basketball games. Furber Although at first a back-stroke man. Furber turned out to be a mainstay on the relay team, and a fast man in the forty yard dash. He was always dependable when a few extra points were needed. ‘‘Dick’’ is one of the fellows who says little but does a lot. Keyes S E N I O R WINKERS Henry was the handy man about the office and took care of the financial end of all athletics until it was found that he was an excellent swimmer. Hank swam against stiff competition this year but he managed to gather in enough points for a letter. Enkema Enkema was a speedy dash man and could always be counted on to bring in needed points. His favorite event was the forty yard dash and the relay. Aside from being on the swimming team he was one of the managers of the supply room last fall. Page One Hundred Thirty-Five Richard Sawyer Donald Innis Milo Pelton Charles Zinn Sawyer I nnts Graduation separated from the hockey team an all-city wing, when “Dick” received his diploma. Sawyer played regularly for two years on the puck team and managed to get in two games this year. In 1923 he was captain of the team. Pelton Although handicapped greatly by his size, Milo won letters in two major sports during his high school career. He was probably the smallest athlete in school, yet he became a star in both baseball and basketball.

He was a valuable man and his loss will be felt keenly when next year’s football season rolls around. Jack Daniel Eugene Aygars- Eli.is Peck Ellis Harris Daniels Jack is a three year man on the tank team, being one of the fastest men in the backstroke event. He was always good for several points in every meet. Jack” is also an able musician, playing with the Musical Monkeys.” He blows a mean Sax.” Ay gam Aygarn was the man who pulled down a first place in the breast stroke in the Northwestern meet last March. He won steadily in this event all year, swimming against some of the speediest swimmers in the Twin City high schools. Gene” also rook a crack at the A. A. U. meet and placed in the semifinals. S ENIOR W INNERS Peck Red” Peck was famous for two things on the basketball floor, his fighting spirit and his ability to follow in under the basket. He gave his best at all times and was unequalled in the city league, for taking his team-mates’ shots off the backboard. Harris Ellis won his letter in swimming. He is the only man who has been on the team for four years, and in that time has developed into one of the best plungers in the city. In the Northwestern Interscholastic meet last March, he pulled down a first place in his event. In seven out of eight dual meets he also took first. Page One Hundred Thirty-Seven Marshall Crowley William MacRab Joe Gitlin Willis Norrdin Crowley Marshall won two letters in track during his stay at West and was a consistent point winner in the pole vault. He was one of the few veterans around which the 1924 team was built. Gitlin Joe was West’s champion all-around manager for three years. There is another side to athletic contests other than the playing of them, and Gitlin deserves much credit for the extra time and hard work which he has spent on the managerial end of athletics. IVar ring ton Ineligibility claimed one of the most able track men of West when “Monty” became twenty-one last March, and was unable to participate in any spring track. S IS N I O R Norrdin Norrdin first won his letter in cross country in the fall of 1921. After an absence of a year, he returned to the team this fall and proved himself to be one of the best hill and dale runners in the high schools, scoring consistently in every meet. Willis was also a member of the track team. MacRae “Bill” is an example of what hard work will do. He started his track work early and worked faithfully every season until he became a finished track athlete. He is a true sportsman, and a credit to the school. Page One ItunJrrJ Thirty Eight Edward Davidson Donald Anderson James Yovnc Cierald Smith Davidson “Eva” held down second place on the baseball team for the past three years, and pulled many a game out of the fire by spectacular stops and pegs. Besides playing on the nine, Ed was a tennis player of no mean ability, and was captain of the net team in 1922. Young Young is another member of the tennis team who has worked hard to earn his letter. He plugged his way to his letter by winning a good number of his matches in some stiff competition. S E N I O R W I N N E R S Anderson Don received the coveted felt in the spring of 1922 when he played on West's first golf team. Because of his ability and on account of his being a veteran he was elected captain of the 1924 team. Andy” swung a wicked brassie and will be missed by the team next year. Smith Jerry won his spurs in tennis where he has been a member of the team for two years. Though inexperienced at first, he rapidly developed into a first class player, giving a good account of himself in every match. His graduation will greatly hamper the success of next year’s team.

Her activities were limited, it is true, for in those days girls were taught that they must neat and decorous be”, no matter how much they wanted to romp as the boys did. But they were allowed to ride horseback -on a side saddle—just as hard as the boys did. This athletic stunt of the girls was, like those of the boys, the forerunner of girls’ athletics of today. The pioneer girl would look on with envy at the varied athletic events in which the girls of today participate. “Girls will be girls, and boys will be boys, but in athletics the twain shall meet.” MISS FRANCKS CUSHING MISS MARY STEVENS GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Each in its season, With rhyme and with reason, Come hallgames anti hikes Just as one likes.

The Girls’ Athletic Association has attempted to aid in the progress and welfare of the school from many standpoints. It has endeavored to promote leadership among the girls of West. Each year we have a large number of girls who join this association, but, we would like to have all the girls in West belong to it, for its benefits are directed toward social as well as mental development. On the first of October 1923, officers for another year were chosen by the members of the G. A. A. Later in the month the following chairmen were appointed for the various sports: Marcelle Ilolen, volley ball; Katharine Cudworth, track; Marcia Burgess, swimming; Lillian hranklin, baseball; Leslie Hopper, skating; and Bernice Davison, tennis. Ability in these sports enables a girl to win a class numeral, a “W,” and a silver loving cup. I his organization as a whole, has an earnest desire to create and encourage within every girl at West, enthusiasm and patriotism for her school. I he present aim is to foster a movement for interscholastic athletics for girls.

Competition in baseball is between the classes, and last year, by hard playing, the Juniors won the championship. The other class teams led them a difficult race, however, and but for the perseverence of their captain, Margaret Farwell, and the superior teamwork of the team itself, they would not have received that honor. The girls play under heavy odds by having to use the gymnasium for their games. Balls often hit the further wall and bounce back, to the great convenience of the fielder and the sorrow of the runner. Because baseball has become such a popular sport, and has created so much enthusiasm among the girls, we hope that some time in the future, they will not only be able to play ball on an outside field, but that our all-star baseball team may meet the teams of various other schools and play on the diamond to maintain the supremacy of West.

One three, one five, four six, and one eight mile hike in the spring, and the same number in the fall comprised the eighty miles, for which each girl received a numeral. Each hike covered a different route, some routes being around Calhoun, Glen Lake, Lake Harriet and Lake of the Isles; so, besides rosy complexions and sturdy legs, the hikers became acquainted with the outskirts of our city. As all one has to do is to walk and enjoy the scenery, what could be an easier way to earn points for a “W” or cup? Page One Hundred Forty-Five lAKWKII. MIH StKVKNS SWAIN TRACK TT MILE the male athlete of West is aspiring for fame in his efforts VV to refrain from knocking down the hurdles in the halls, and to see how near, without colliding, he may come to an innocent maid in the front hall, as he dashes around the corners, the opposite sex is also performing similar stunts in the girls’ gymnasium. Backs ache, muscles become sore, in the girls’ earnest efforts to gain good form and speed. Indeed, Miss Cushing often has to demand that some young hopefuls stop practicing, so as not to become over exhausted by their efforts. When the day of the big meet arrives, how much they strive to win places in the various events, and what good sportswomen they are. Each track meet reveals some champion, and last year it was Ethel Teagle, our grasshopper and winged mercury combined, who finished with highest honors. She not only won three first places, but also broke several city records in doing it. Margaret Harwell clinched second honors, and the rest were close thirds. West now holds such enviable records in track, that it is our sincere hope that we may keep them always.

For four consecutive years, the '24 girls have won the coveted volleyball championship, have proudly held the ball when the volleyball pictures were taken, and have had their names engraved on the championship plate. The reason why volleyball is so interesting, is that every player has a part in the game nearly all the time, and each one has his chance to serve, as there arc no special positions. “Obstruction is a common word in the West volleyball player's vocabulary, because the beams on the ceiling arc so low that the ball seems to delight in hitting them. Despite handicaps, however, volleyball is a very popular game, especially to those girls who have held the championship for the last four years.

The waves tossed over her and immediately a shower of spray crowned the onlookers. Nothing daunted, other graceful maidens, performing various maneuvers, dived swanlike into the water below, and swam through the clear water with such ease that even the fish themselves were enraged with envy. Finally, they reached the tape, where each girl climbed out of the water, exultant at having conquered the power of the blue aqua. This year, more girls than ever before have endeavored to secure points through aquatic activities. A hundred points must be earned first, in the fundamentals of swimming, and then a hundred more points may be won by performing successfully the breaks, holds, and carries of life-saving. All of our swimmers were stars this year, so none could be singled out, but as a whole, it may be safely stated that they are fitting representatives of the Green and White.

IIOPI'KR STKVKNS HARWELL FOSBKRG FKIDT CLARK SKATING THE call of the great outdoors has come to the girls of West and they arc flocking into the open, hand in hand with Jack Frost. Over the ice they glide, curving gracefully around the bends, and greeting the brisk, cold winds with crimson cheeks and sparkling eyes. What strange figures they cut on the sparkling ice! In and out they thread their way, weaving webs of happiness and health. Theirs is the joy of living, the fresh enthusiasm of youth. Mark their merry laughter, their perfect poise, and feel their exultant ecstacy of existence. Who is she that skims like a swallow over the silver mirror? Io be sure, it is Leslie Hopper, Queen of the Ice, for this maid is a veritable sail, blown about by the wind. Many more girls we could mention who take a great joy in skating and have earned points in it. Of course, ihe skill of the hockey player can be admired, hut after all, what is more graceful or more interesting than a clever girl skater? Page One Hundred Forty-Nine BERNICK DAVIDSON TENNIS ND who won these two cups?” asked a little Freshman of a Sophomore, as he was admiring the many trophies in the front hall. “Oh, this cup was for the winning of the girls' tennis championship of the city last spring; that one was won by the champion girl tennis player of West. Bernice Davidson won them both. She was presented with them both in an athletic auditorium before the whole school, and as both her hands were full, she couldn’t even shake hands with Mr. Boardman. Baseball is a splendid game for teamwork, but no game is better than tennis for individual interest and honor. Many girls of West realized this and plied their racquets in quest of the silver trophy. Everyone could not win, unfortunately, and Bernice with her racquet soon left all competitors behind. Pag Oh HumJrrJ Fifty Katiii rise Fbidt Mildred McDowell Charlotte Fosbkrc Leslie Hopper Fcult “Katie” is our champion fish; in track, she shines with the promise of a second Rugg; in skating and volleyball she is a regular star; and in kit-tenhall, she is an invaluable second baseman. McDonell Mildred believes in trying for everything. Aside from being a partaker and star in every kind of athletics, president of the G. A. A., president of the Girls’ “W” club, and a winner of a “W” and a cup. what else could she do? Fosberg Charlotte enjoys volleyball, having helped her team earn the championship for four consecutive years. In baseball, she is an opponent to be feared, for she as catcher, is always either putting someone out at home plate, or is sliding across the same plate in a home run. Hopper Leslie is our champion skater; she skims over the ice as easily as a bird. She’s a good ‘jumper’ too; in fact, she has taken part in so many sports that she was able to win her felt and cup by the end of her junior year.

She skates and she swims. In track others trims. And a loving cup wins for her spree. Eldora can not only out-swim a fish, but she can also out jump a grasshopper, and seems to have borrowed the wings of Mercury, for she certainly can run like a deer. Franklin “Lil” stars in volleyball; when one sees her looming up on the opposite side of the net, she must screw up her energies, for her opponent is a sure enough point winner! rage One Hundred Fifty-Two Margaret Far well Anne McDonm 1 Jessie Thomson Evelyn Post Farwell Thomson We should give Margaret a laughing cup for her wit, but so far, she is satisfied in being champion server in baseball, in having records in track, in acquiring captaincies of several teams, and in having won a “W.” M c Done I I The younger “Mac” has succeeded in maintaining the family reputation; she starred in every type of sport, but especially merits praise in kittenball and in volleyball of which teams she once was captain. Jessie was one of the girls on that volleyball team which won the championship four years in succession. She’s very quiet, but she gets what she wants; and in athletics, the same as in her studies, whatever she does, she docs well. Post Evelyn is our little track demon; she may be quiet, but the dust flies high when she takes part in the dash, and the baseball is hard to find after she has hit it.

Page One Hundred Sixty THE 1924 ROAD-GRADER The above derelict is a picture of the new 1924 busses plying between Hopkins and Anoka. Price is ten rubles F. O. B. Detroit. Guaranteed not to rip, rattle, or run down at the heels. The “Spark Plugs” come extra, but any garage carries them in stock. Steam heated and running water through-out. The country needs a good shaking up and this machine will give it to them. Once you ride in this bus you will never ride in anything else—you can't. Will go a hundred miles on a gallon of gasoline, but it doesn't use any, so you don’t have to worry about it. Note the classy silk lined sun shade in front; it keeps the driver from getting sunburned. Ax, guns, and shovel go right with the rest of the junk. A new high grade radio set is also thrown in—it might work. You would be surprised how fast this contraption can go down hill. It comes to a splendid stop too. Pry and get one to go. Why go elsewhere to get cheated—try us. Adv. It was in the year of 1888 that Mr. I. C. West was traveling in the original of the above machine. lie had a blow out (not a party) on the spot known to the inmates of the said institution as West High. The improved model of this car is still selling today and is advertised above. Mr. West liked the Minikahda golf links so well that he decided to stick around the neighborhood. He, like Caesar, was ambitious and so he built a hot-dog stand. The school started around this very stand. Page One Hundred Sixty One HOW IT HAPPENED Sept. 3—Things started where they left off.

IIesperian Vaudeville The Hesperian Hoard, staff, and water boys, gave a vaudeville which made the Hennepin Orphcum look like a movie. Among the features presented was Spark Plug, along with Harney, Ed” Hurford. Jack, Harney’s better half, played a wonderful part at the front legs. Sparky looked more like a covered wagon than he did the famous horse. The Gargoyle Opera house company broke forth with a song, for which we still owe them $50,000. A play entitled, Just Wonderful,” displayed local talent in the form of Byers, Dunlap, MacRac, Robinson, Moore and Christie. Every one liked it as it was just long enough to break up a period. It cost Byers sixty cents for candy which Bill ate. Bill was sick for the next week. Paul Whitman of Chicago. played Stack O Lee Blues on the victrola. Those who got in free said it was worth the price of admission. The Hon. Business Manager gave an oration that eclipsed Nero’s violin solo at the burning of Thompson's Yards. Two hundred were killed in the rush for subscriptions. The moral of the whole affair was don’t believe all you hear.” Paye One llun lr ti Sixty-Six DRAMATICS (Con’t.) Dr. IVake's Patient Although this play was English, it was Cl reek to some. The plot was as thick as water. The actors played to a full house and won 32-0. Flowers were showered on them, that is, cauliflowers and cabbages hurtled through the air. Shakespeare turned over in his tomb, aye, and the whole country was in an uproar. Why r.ot? Did not the handsome Forrester kiss Geranium some forty odd times. Wasn’t the scene between Wake and the Hon. sad? It is, as The World’1 says, A wonderful drama which puts the grave-diggers' scene from ‘Hamlet’ on the shelf. Anyway, speaking in astronomical terms, did you ever stop to think that we occupy a very inconspicuous place on a second rate planet whirling through space, or that the star system is synthetically and sympathetically induced by .1 hump on the head? If you can, you can imagine the humiliating effect that this news must have on a parasite situated on the back of an underfed flea, whose habitat was the left ear of the proverbial church mouse, or the way the class play aspirant feels as he enters the stage for the first time to make a how to the over-stuffed audience. A feature of the play was the big scene from The Eve of St. Vitus, that heavy sugar spectacle which cost $845,( 43 and required a cast of 8899 souls, exclusive of camels. It is said that Speers, the leading man, has been strewn with feminine hearts. Before he started on his stage career, rumor has it that he achieved prominence as a six-day potato racer, and as a seller of spare pantry parts. No mean ability was shown by Miss Woodruff who played the part of Geranium Galena. The only mar on the whole performance was the time when the scenery fell in. Everyone thought it was the end of the play and started to leave. Nelson got a new suit for the play; in fact he wore the price tag right on the stage. During the intermission Lucke. Altfillisch, and Roberts went out into the hall and became so interested in a game of marbles that they forgot to come on the stage for the last two acts. Marionette Plays We saw, paid our way in, and were conquered. We saw for the first time in America, Charlie Young from Argentine, the Land of Four Horsemen Shicks and tangoes. Charlie is better known as The Wild Hull of the Pampas.” Already he has made himself known as the masculine counterpart of Gloria Swanson. If you have seen one play, you have seen the rest. Here is the plot of one: in the little town of Sparcribs-on-the-Halfshell lives Cuckoo and his little sister. They have barely enough to cat—not even one sparerib! The cute heroine, whose name is Wlag because she talks so much, is in love with Cuckoo. Hut she supposes him to be in possession of her father's secret for roasting almonds, and consequently makes him believe she is in love with Notredamski who rings the curfew. Nobody loves Halitosis, which is just as well. During the visit of the covered wagon caravan, Djerkiss sees Three Flowers and presents him with a sawed-off shot gun and a bag of apples. 'Phis act so enrages Cuckoo that he orders them to be thrown into prison and confined there until either one or the other or neither tells where they got the bag of apples. Anyway they, arc good plays. One play certainly took the audience by storm and that was about the Mysterious Voice. It was on the order of The Cat and the Canoodle Bird. only different. Hur-ford forgot his lines, but hr didn't have any so it was just as well. The stage hands for these plays have to have a big imagination. 'They work themselves to death. Prescott and Currv surely made a hit. They were hit before and behind. These plays are democratic and aim to please all. Page Oh Hundred Sixty Sett LITERATURE The Terrible Ruby With a knowing look, The Square-of-the-Hypotenuse, the world's champion indoor detective, greeted the others. Hurling a bomb at them, he exclaimed, The ruby isn’t real.” They paused in wonder. This gave him time to get near the door. A faint smell of rubies filled the air. He vanished through the door. With a cry the others sprang forward, but it was too late. He had locked the door and left the following message tacked on the inside, I have the ruby and it is real.” At once they knew who he was—Zig-Zag. international thief! Deep Stuff His esoteric physiognomy burgeoned under the scintillating effervescensc of her smile. Dim in the inner recesses of his cardiac region, buried beneath the folds of his Harr, Schaffner, and Marx, throbbed in an ecstacy of joy, his left ventricle! Even the crooked smile on his left cheek was working overtime. After surmounting unsurmountable odds like Napoleon of old, hemmed in by the cruel writhing of despair which bit at his heart at times like the snake of Cleopatra, at last he was free—free to demand his just reward. The envy of the world was his to brush aside with a haughty glare, for had he not with all the might of his cerebellum overcome the minions of ignorance ! He had just shown Mamma his report card with four B’s! ? Boarding School Sophia With a sob, Sophia heard the morning bell—it was four-thirty. She cracked the ice in her pitcher and looked at the picture of Rudy in The Squeak.” Then she slicked her hair back until her scalp cracked. She ate a cracker for breakfast. If I only had a manicure set,” she moaned, but nobody at boarding school ever has had such a thing.” She looked at her face in the cracked mirror. Someday she would be pretty. One Lung With a whisper, One Lung seized the chow mein and ate it. Three hungry chow dogs sat near. But he was kind. He gave them bits from his own jade bowl. Spirals of Vantinc’s Wisteria filled the air. Suddenly his friend, Ming Cha, entered the room. They conversed thus. Z$%—said One Lung pleasantly. C$ 89”) —W returned Ming Cha. It was almost time for the return of Dr. Chew Matches. Fear came to their faces. For the chow dogs had eaten all the chow mein. But One Lung in defiance composed a poem. Lotus buds on a muddy pool, Brussels sprouts on glass. My heart cracks— Ah, we live and learn. X Scaremutch With a yell, Marcel seized the library pass, and rushed off. Three halfbacks bore down upon him. Hurling a Hershcy Bar at their feet, Back, ye loafers, ye hungry wolves,” he roared in dulcet accents. They paused. Marcel sprang forward, and it was too late. The door of the library swung shut in the faces of the enemy. But a new peril awaited our hero. In front of him stood a cul-de-sac. They always do, if you happen to be a hero! The Last Second With a howl. Tubby seized the ball and rushed off. Three fellows bore down upon him. Hurling defiance at them, How dare you impede my progress, you poor boobs,” our hero gargled in hoarse tones. They paused. Tubby sprang forward, and it was too late. Defeat stared them in the face. Defeat has that taking little habit; she never looks, or glares; she stares.” And Tubby had time to make the final touchdown. The stands went wild. They always do if you are a football hero. Page One Hundred Sixty-Nine 1C ' a s HISTORY The Official Slory of West's Unofficial Basketball Team Well, Mike, you have asked me to write somethin); for the annual plague of “Hesperianitis” and so I am dropping my business dates (?) and taking up my typewriter to do so. Writing to you reminds me of your brother and that reminds me of the first basketball team West High ever had. We didn’t have a place full of ropes and splinters called a gym, like you have now up there, so we didn’t have no basketball team. So your brother and myself and four other morons got up a team of our own and held ourselves out to the public as the West High Basketball Team. The first and only game we played was with Hopkins or Anoka, or one of the other seaport country towns on the outskirts. I remember we journeyed thither and they gave us the coldest room in the world to change our clothes in. I think they had hired an Eskimo to look after the fire and he had frozen to death. Well, we put on our basketball clothes and went out on a Hoor totally surrounded by adverse critics and enemies. There was a balcony all around the wall in this place. I remember some bozo had lugged a two ton medicine ball up there, and he dropped it off socking our best player on the skull and I wasn’t able to play for about ten minutes. Everything went wrong as far as our team was concerned. One of our guards fell for a girl on the sidelines and during the last half he was over there talking to her all the time. The guy he was guarding would have set the world’s record for shooting baskets if it hadn’t been for the fact that the girl our guard fell for was also this bird’s. Then one of our near sighted forwards busted his glasses and got all mixed up about where he was going and shot four baskets for the other team before we got him handcuffed. The other team had two guys it claimed were deaf and couldn’t hear the whistle. So every time the referee blew the blooming thing we would stop and these two guys would come raring down the floor, clambor all over us, knock us down, and leave heel marks all over our anatomies. Then in addition to that, the ceiling was so low that Houdini himself couldn’t have gotten the ball between it and the edge of the basket. It was a great game and I think we only lost by about forty points. After the game we went back to our so-called dressing room, and discovered that some guy had cleaned our pockets as clean as the copy of the “Atlantic Monthly” in the library. We went out into the cold and wintry blasts of that forsaken town and I suggested that your brother (I think it was your brother) go down and see if he could borrow the price of a meal and a place to sleep from the chief of police, he being the only guy who stays up all night in one of them towns. And so your brother went down there and while he didn’t get the price of a meal he got a place to sleep and the only draw-back was that when we went down a little later and talked to him through the window about it. he was under the impression that he was going to sleep there for twenty-nine nights more. I believe they charged him with fragrancy.” The rest of us went down in the railroad tracks and a freight train was there, so we all got in an empty hopper car. The whistle blew and we got started, but not for long because the train started in the wrong direction and we nearly busted our hon. necks getting out of the car. Finally, we started to walk home and eventually got there, but if the West High Basketball Team ever has to undergo such hardships in the present as ours did in the past then I want to rise here and make a motion that basketball be relegated to slavery, woolen underwear, and kindred harmful evils.

ETIQUETTE At School Never appear at school with your lessons prepared as it is had form, and everyone will think you are high toning them. It is a good thing to leave your hat, tic, or coat at home at least once a week so that you will feel more like the rest of the hoys. Be sure to get into the habit of borrowing everything. Have “Lend me” right on the tip of your tongue. If you arc good-looking, wear overalls so that the women won't mob you. Be polite when you knock someone down in the hall, but whatever you do don’t pick them up. Just say, “The floors arc pretty hard, aren’t they, old man? He will laugh himself sick and will be your friend for life. Get acquainted! Go out and tell the people who you arc. Pass out your card or your picture—but by all means nose your way in. In Classroom Never pay any attention to your teachers, as they are secondary, anyway. And they do not like attention. Tell them you are naturally lazy, and that, although you would like to work, you just can’t be bothered. They will take pity on you and put you through. Sec how many times you can get sent to the office. It amuses the pupils and they think you are a good fellow. Use “yes” and “no” in answering questions as they arc brief and to the point. Leaving at the first bell always gets a big laugh. Be friendly with all your teachers. At Dances Always ask the girl the night of the dance. She will like your careless ways. Leave your car home and take the street car. The bigger the car, the better the girl will like you, so always take a train or street car. Have a lunch along. It will save you from going to Child’s. Home cooked food always tastes better anyway. Don’t fill out a program or she’ll think you don’t like her. Just dance with her yourself. It shows foresight and attention. Don’t say anything; it will break the spell. Be sure to leave her during intermission so you can do just as you please. If you do go to Child’s, don’t order anything she likes. Order something you like and you can cat it yourself. Iii the Lunchroom The motto of the lunchroom is “Graham Meto” or “help yourself.” This motto goes for young and old alike. Always try to sneak in line; it saves you time and worry. It also shows your ability to horn in and get popular. Try to join the order of the “Leaky Milk Bottle . This is one of the favorite young men’s clubs of West. Every noon the members get in line and sec how much they can get for nothing. The man with the biggest score at the end of the month receives a hand carved soup bowl for his endeavors. Most of the alumni of this organization are going to the “Stillwater Stoncbrcakers Institute” where they make little stones out of big ones. Watch your manners closely in tht underground tea room. If you spill a plate of potatoes on someone’s head, offer him the rest of your lunch and he’ll think you arc a good fellow. Pushing in the top of a milk bottle with your thumb and getting milk all over every one is a good way to create attention. Never take your tray out—no one ever does that. Every one likes a good joke, so put a milk top on somebody’s head, slip a knife in his pocket, or throw a meat ball in his eye. If you have a friend that is hungry, buy a doughnut and offer him the center. Eat slowly; there is plenty of time—nearly three minutes. If you get sick of the food in the lunchroom, bring your own.

The team began to train upon a malted milk diet. After the mud flats were drained off, the team spent two weeks harvesting the burr crop. A new game called “Dropsy was originated during this period. The game was played in this manner: the squad would line up and start to run down the field, Roach would holler '‘Dropsy,’' and everyone would drop on his hands. The man with the most burrs in his hands got first place and a chance to visit the doctor. It was at West that the name Gridiron was invented, and the field certainly lives up to its name. A cast iron factory is a bed of feathers compared to our little “playground.” At 4:00 sharp, Grape Nuts were passed around, and “There’s a Reason!” It makes the fellows want to practice all night; in fact you have to drive them in at seven. Chapman, of the Last Man's Club fame, had a case of enlarged knuckles the first week out and the second week was knocked out. The third week the squad was cut from five hundred to two hundred. If you got a uniform that didn't fit you, it was too bad. If you got one at all, you were lucky. Track Track call sounded at West High so loudly that the athletes knocked over three street cars in their rush to answer Louie’s’’ plea. West will have a track team this year as usual, but what the coaches are praying for is a turnout that will be so big that suburban folks around Hennepin and Lake will think the Olympic games are in progress behind the school. Lessons will be given in the art of winning the 100 yard dash this year by none other than Charlie Paddock By enclosing only two cents to the speed demon from California one can get all this information. Track suits this year will be unusually becoming. It is planned to have them trimmed with rick rack and lead piping. Horse cars to convey spectators to the track meet at Northfield will be furnished by the Spark Plug Company Incorporated. Due to the fact that West won her first track championship last year after losing out in the five years previous, prospects are bright this season for a repetition of last year’s overwhelming victory over Central and the other schools of the city and Twin Cities. The large crowds of two and three thousand that turned out for the 1923 meets are expected to increase still more this year. £ Swimming Swimming has a clean appeal to each and every one. It fosters a school boy complexion on the epidermis. About ten pretty fair candidates for this watery sport were drowned at the tryouts. One of the best divers dove into the tank without looking to see if there was any water. There wasn’t and he broke his neck. Hats off! A large crowd of five watched the Central-West meet. The fellows trained so hard this year that twelve starved to death. One of the unusual offers turned down by our boys was an invitation to swim down the Atlantic coast past Washington. Our team refused, because they didn’t think they could stand the oil in their eyes. Johnny Weismuller would not agree to swim a dead heat with “Red” Dunlap because Milt’s hair made the water boil, and he likes his bath cold. Brackett learned the breast stroke to the tune of “Open your arms, my Alabamy.” Some coeds at the “U” watched “Red” swimming under water, and we heard one of them remark, “Oh, look at the pretty-goldfish!’’ We also wish to reveal the information that because Harris keeps taking tiles out of the local tanks, they refused to let him swim in anything but a sheetiron tank. In spite of these drawbacks, we feel justified in asserting that the aquatic possibilities of next year are more than commonly good for uncommon strokes.
