Embodied in this volume are memories of heroism, of determination, of tragedy, and of folly; all may be found somewhere and far in the future, when the students of 2.6 turn these musty leaves, perhaps a tear or a wistful smile will salute the memory of Hesperian-land that is awakened in this chapter of the never-ending story of West High School. ■LJM 111 y� s r :t1 yvv uiun j vc m w • p,.

ORGANIZATIONS RATERNITY in life may be found in the club meetings of the various organizations of the school, just as in the council rings of the red man. Just as the braves of old gathered in groups to discuss their problems, so do the clubs of a modern school meet with freedom unhindered to exchange convictions and ideas upon subjects of mutual interest. Thereon lies the foundation of the larger democracy which we call our country.

To satisfy this element in the Spanish classes, the West High Spanish club was reorganized two years ago. with Miss Frances Hicks as faculty adviser. We feel that the program which the club has followed throughout the year is the truest indication of the extent to which it has accomplished a feeling of interest in and friendliness for that far off country. Probably our most pretentious ventures have been the publishing of a newspaper in Spanish, and the presentation of Spanish plays written by the members of the club. We have been addressed by several Spaniards from outside the school in their native tongue. Among these was Joseph Arrieta of South High School. A vivid picture of the life of the Spaniard was given us by the mother of one of the club members, who very kindly lent us her collection of articles relating to Spain and Spanish customs. Above all. however, we have given those interested a chance to pul to practical use that knowledge which they have gleaned from the classroom. Tryouts are held at least once every semester. Contestants must give a two minute talk in Spanish. Membership is opened to all who have creditably completed one term of Spanish. A good deal of credit should go to Miss Hicks for the interest which she has shown in all affairs relating to the club as a whole. Fourteen Top Row- Brockman, Elixir.

Talked of uarriors and nations.” SPRINGING from a realization that the potential creative force in the youth of today is ever present, the Politics Club was formed in October, 1924. under the leadership of Mr. E. E. Hudson and Miss Marjorie Spaulding. Set as a standard above the heads of the founders was the ideal to be accomplished of helping the students of West to be worth while citizens with a broad minded attitude toward civil problems, and to instil in them a keener understanding of other nations and their affairs. In pursuance of this program, we have obtained the services of men and women eminent in their separate spheres, who have entertained the club by talks of the subjects in which they have been intensively trained. Some of the speakers have been: David Bryn-Jones, and Mrs. C. W. Seamons, wife of the chief immigration official at Ellis Island, who told of present day conditions on the island and some of the problems which this subject presents. Other current topics have been explained by the club members at the regular meetings as part of the regular membership requirements. Although the club is limited in number, any student of West High is eligible. Those who try out must give a short talk on some topic of general interest and submit to an oral examination at the hands of the charter members. We hope that this club will take a very vital place in the hearts and minds of the pupils of West High School. Fifteen Rack Rw -lUuu, Dsibman, Nolan. Vadoinoton. Moose. Smith.

Listen to the words of warning. FOK years the only club which sponsored formal debating at West High was the Tomahawk Club. In 1920 Miss Wanda Orton coached a Freshman Team which defeated the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior teams in formal debate and finally defeated the Tomahawk team. Around this nucleus the present day Debaters' Club was founded. Today it is the only means outside of the English classes whereby a student may gain training and poise along the line of public speaking. Although this club was founded primarily to promote debating, its curriculum has come to include a large amount of extemporaneous speaking, as this is the prevailing form today. In the autumn and winter months, programs included debates and talks on famous law cases. The club also participated in a debate before the Parents’ and Teachers’ Association. In the spring months the plan is to prepare for a program in which the Shakespeare classes will be given a chance to take part in the declamatory contest based on the plays of Shakespeare. Although no club ever accomplishes all that it starts out to do in the fall, the Debaters’ Club feels that it gained a good deal out of its work at Macalester College. It hopes to try again next year. This year Miss Anna Smart was added, as faculty adviser, to the club and both she and Miss Orton supervise all programs of the club. Juniors and seniors are urged to try out for this club next year. The time spent in debating and public speaking may not be as showy as the time spent in other activities, but it certainly develops the brain. Sixteen Bark Rote- Corn, Matciiak, Hinniii.

Grcwell • President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Faculty Manager “All our strength is in our union. All our danger is in discord.” THE Managers' Club of West High School has been for years an impartial cog in the school life of our building. It is composed of men who have won their “WY“ by managing some athletic team. The club was formed primarily to aid the cause of athletics and to raise the athletic standard. Since then, however, it has become quite active in athletics and school circles. Whenever any improvement is identified with a school-wide enterprise, the Managers’ Club will he found behind it. The present group consists of eleven members mostly from the senior class. As each year sees a change in the personnel of the club, its effectiveness is, to a certain extent, impaired. In spite of this, however, we have taken it upon ourselves to make the scoreboard for the gymnasium, to care for the trophy case, and to arrange and supervise the placing of the hoys in the halls. In addition to this, we have tried to cooperate with the school and faculty in helping to solve the many problems that come up during the school year. Each season makes an improvement measure to the effectiveness of the unit, due in a large measure to the fine cooperation and good will of the student body. We ask hut a continuance of this same good will and promise to oblige as well as possible. We believe that a club as the Managers' Club is an essential to any school, as it accomplishes without much noise many things which no other club could accomplish in the same way. The altitude of the school toward our club is most gratifying to us and we will try to live up to it. Seventeen B ek Rote White, Goiidam , Suvum, Mu.

Dudley Parsons.......................Faculty Adviser Such as these the shapes they painted On this birch bar : and the deer skin. E EK since man began to communicate with his fellows, literature has taken an ever increasing part in his entertainment and instruction. In order to discover the best talent along this line and to foster creative and original writing, the Script club was formed in 1920 under the leadership of Miss Jane Souba. We feel that we may truthfully say that the year 1926 has witnessed an epoch in the history of this organization. It has marked the completion of our anthology of student verse. This book was started in 1924 with Harold Burton as editor. As it has been submitted to the publishers, it contains some fifty poems written by high school students. These have been collected from all parts of the United States and comprise a representative piece of work. As far as the editors are aware, it i the only volume of its kind yet attempted on a national scale. In order to aid members in every possible way. it is planned to have an original manuscript read at each of the regular meetings. After this reading, the article is open to constructive criticism. Entrance to Script is highly competitive. All those who wish to try out must submit at least two manuscripts, preferably of different types, signed with a nom dc plume. This piece is judged without knowledge of the identity of the author. The interest which these attract throughout the school is truly indicative of the permanent place which such an organization as this must inevitably take. Mr. E. Dudley Parsons, present adviser, was elected to the Script club two years ago and has consistently striven to promote creative writing on the part of the members. Eighteen Beck Hoc. In . Lic � .

Because of a realization of the boundless opportunities offered for scientific and industrial research along these lines, a group of ten hoys met in 1924 and formed the present day chemistry club under the guidance of J. E. Morris. Each term since then, some one subject or phase of chemistry lias been taken up for more intense study than can be procured in the class room. Expeditions have been arranged to a number of industrial plants. On these trips the chemical processes involved have been carefully explained by the faculty adviser. Last term, in its study of steel, the club visited the foundry of the Minneapolis Steel Machinery works. We have also attended a number of chemical lectures at the University of Minnesota. In addition, the members are given laboratory privileges and are allowed to conduct experiments on the subjects studied in class or any others which may suit their fancy. Tryouts are held once every term. Each contestant for membership is required to perform a short experiment or give a talk on some phase of chemistry. He is judged solely on the basis of understanding which he shows through this medium. Dues are nominal and cover the extra laboratory fee. The future of scientific development, as do most of the problems of the world, lies in the hands of today’s youth. We therefore express our sincere hope that this organization will receive the interest and cooperation of all and we believe that they will be fully repaid for their pains. nineteen Back Roiv'- I.mutt.

AS a branch of the Hi Y Club at West, the Cog’s Club has existed since 1921- as a body desirous of rendering service in what ever form possible to the school and its members. Never, however, has it had as fine an opportunity for accomplishing this ideal as was proffered this fall. When Bud Henderson, West’s fighting quarterback was taken with paralysis as a result of his service on the football field, it was clear that some means of expressing school appreciation must be found. Therefore, at the suggestion of one or two of the faculty members, the Bud Henderson benefit was initiated. By the kindness of Eddie Ruben, former West football star, and part owner of the Finkelstein Ruben chain of theaters, the Lagoon theater was secured for the first week of the Christmas vacation. Club members were stationed in the school halls in order to sell tickets. The club was granted a ten percent commission on all tickets sold. Due in part to the fine program offered and in part to the eagerness of the students to help, a large number were sold. Approximately two hundred dollars net profit was realized. Of this amount, the largest share went toward paying Henderson’s hospital and doctor bills. The remainder was deposited to his bank account. Some credit should go to Alton Harvey, our last term’s president, for the businesslike way in which he conducted this campaign. Let us express our hope that we may, in the future, function as perfectly in our emerging as we have in the past. Tice at t Hack Xov lloiinM, Daiilckm. IIkhu, Swkm, Mi Mook, lluuoc. W. Moori.

IF one were lo gauge the success of a club by the length of its existence, the Daubers would most assuredly he put in the front ranks. I his group first organized in 1918 and has been active up to the present time. Its purpose was to give a certain artistic number of students a chance for further development than may he marked in the art classes. During the last year. Daubers has attracted considerable attention to itself by the designing of scenery for the “Chimes of Normandy.” The actual work of painting the finished scenery was also painted by a number of our members. A few of the Daubers have also done a good deal of work in painting signs for use in the front halls and in contributing to the pages of the Weekly and Hesperian. Meetings arc held every Monday in the Art room, 321. The members are allowed practically their own choice of the subject which they will work on during their meetings. A passerby might see examples of figure drawing, batik work, and clay (or soap) modeling being performed at the same time. Applicants for membership are allowed thirty minutes in which to do one of these things: draw a piece of still life, sketch from a living model, or reproduce a hit of statuary. Members are judged solely on ability. Under the direction of Miss Hazel Mooer and Mrs. Mary Wallace, the present advisers, the members feel that they have been, and will he offered great chances for advancement.

REALIZING that lilt practice of “shooting pictures’ is as infinitely fascinating as its more destructive brother, hunting with a gun, a group of students met in 1920 and formed the present day Camera Club. Primarily, its purpose is to promote interest in photography and to give to its members a realization of the varied activities which this form of entertainment offers. In past years the club has contributed largely to the pages of the Hesperian by developing snap shots. Since then, it has conducted quite an extensive program of study along photographic lines. Some of the subjects taken up during the last year arc: the enlargement of photographs, a study of developing, and a complete study of the working parts of a camera. In order to pay for our picture in the Hesperian this year, we have developed snap shots for students at a nominal price. Photography is quickly coming to the front as an interesting science, being one of the few sciences which keep out of doors. Surely there is no better way of appreciating the beauties of nature than through this medium. I hcrefore, we urge all who are truly interested to try for membership in our club. Entrance is largely on the simple merit of understanding the subject matter. Mr. Slifer is our present faculty adviser. As such he has been practically indispensable to our welfare because of the advice and help which he has given us. He has also extended the use of the chemical laboratory to us for some of our work.

Utley........................Adviser “Calls the tribes of men together. Calls the warriors to his council. THERE has been an increasing tendency in the last few years in educational circles to give more attention to the development of the executive ability of the pupil than heretofore been thought necessary. Realizing that the best way to mark progress along this line is by the assumption of certain assigned duties, the upper class advisory council has accomplished several notable reforms in the past year. As a forerunner of further improvement, student government has been established in the study halls and bids fair to become a permanent thing. I nder this plan each member of the council is assigned the duties of chairman during some period of the day. The way in which the student body as a whole has responded • to this honor is indeed commendable. Power of reprimand rests entirely in the hands of the committee in charge. We have also made revisions in the extracurricular activity point system. At the present time no student may hold more than eight points nor be a member of more than three “talent” clubs. The points are signed in the order of the duties which they entail. The object of this system is to prevent over-indulgence to the point of interfering with scholastic work. The Council is exclusively a representative body. Members are elected by the various classes. It aims to act as a link between the faculty and student body. It is only as the former gives its sincerest cooperation and the latter its serious consideration in the wise choice of delegates that our ultimate success will be assured.

They will tell you that it has existed for many years as a medium for founding a number of firm friendships and for furthering the advancement of high ideals and standards of the West High girlhood. It was originally designed particularly for those girls who are not living at home, but are continuing their education under their own guidance. This year there are about one hundred student members all of whom are actively engaged in the activities of the G. 11. C. As the feature of this year’s program, we were invited by the Parents’ and Teachers’ Association to attend the performance of Tony Sarg s Marionettes at Jefferson Junior High. Aside from this, however, and a weekly social meeting, the members have obtained much in the fine opportunities offered for general character building so that the words “G. H. C.” have come to mean in the truest sense generosity, honesty, and courtesy. The Club wishes to extend its appreciation to the faculty of West and the P. T. A. for the wonderful help and good times they have given us. An immense amount of credit should also go to Mrs. Lockwood for her truly fine support and interest. Ttcenty-Fonr Rack Aov-Butct, Walter .

AS far back as we can remember tin Glee Club has been one of the most influential organizations which West has bad. Directors have changed; pupils have come and gone, but this club is always up to its membership quota and producing to the 'nth degree. It has been the aim of the group to interest the student body at large in the very best classical music. Members of the club have become acquainted with masterpieces such as the “Messiah ’ or the “Stabat Mater” and learn to sing them. Every year, the club produces at least one public performance such as an opera or a public concert. I ast year it staged the light opera “Robin Hood.” The scenery designs were made by members of the group. This year. “Chimes of Normandy” was made an overwhelming success due to a large degree to the untiring efforts of Mr. George Krieger and Mr. Floyd Chandler, the dramatic coach. Critics pronounced it one of the best in the history of amateur high school performances. The part of Gaspard, the old miser, was especially commended. Dick Myers and George Bruntlctt played this part on respective nights. During the spring term the club plans to work on certain selections which will include the whole club. In the early summer a contest will be held including all the high schools, in which we will participate. Twenty-Five Hack flow—Patton, Ju� t. Chub. lltniT, GotMUNMK. Ca� ia, I.arlmon. Htuct, Carlylc.

THIS organization, the Orchestra, was originated much for the same reason as that of the Glee Club, namely, to stimulate the appreciation for good music throughout the school. Orchestral numbers are studied rather than vocal, as in the Glee Club. It is the aim of the Orchestra, not only to sponsor good music, but also to encourage the young and ambitious musicians. Whenever there is a vacancy in the program of an assembly, the Orchestra is always ready with some musical selection. Little do we realize or appreciate the countless hours of tedious practice which precede one such extra number. Anyone who plays any kind of an orchestral instrument is urged to join. Members of the Orchestra are selected with the utmost of care by Mr. Kriegcr. the director of music. In late years the younger musicians of the school have been encouraged so that they may become accustomed to playing in a body, and thus can render the compositions with a greater degree of perfection. It has been the custom for the Orchestra to accompany the annual production of the Glee Club. Since a performance of this kind cannot be given successfully without some kind of an orchestral accompaniment, the Glee Club is very thankful for the huge service which this body has so highly rendered. This year much of the success of the production “The Chimes of Normandy” must be accredited to the exact accompaniment of the Orchestra. Behind every such movement will be found some moving force. In this ease it is our leader, Mr. Krieger. who has so patiently promoted our welfare. Tuxnty-Stx Hock An —CtuitNuiN, Strrii, Smith, Wallace, Mate . KoiiLa. Patwx, Cavannaii, Cadlyle.

He the sweetest of all the singers.” ALTHOUGH the Madrigal Club has existed for but a comparatively short time, it has, we feel, conclusively proved its merits. We were first brought into a definite state of organization by Mrs. Bernice Jenkins in 1924. Since then the group has become a fitting complement to the Glee Club in furthering the interest in truly fine music. Membership is of immense practical value as well as a means of gaining pleasure. That each member may become familiar with public performances, the club aims, once a year, to present a program consisting of its best talent at an auditorium period to which the student body is invited. Meetings are held every two weeks. At these “get togethers” parts of operas are thoroughly discussed with regards to the technical points involved, and miscellaneous recitals arc given by the members themselves. Several teachers in the Mac-Phail School of Music have been exceedingly kind in consenting to address the club on various subjects relating to the general study of music. Although we regret the loss of our first faculty adviser, Mrs. Jenkins, we feel extremely fortunate in having obtained the services of Mrs. Ruth Hill. She has been very diligent and deserves a large amount of credit for the services which she has rendered. Music is and has been since time immemorial, the most effective means of expressing joys and sorrows of nations. Like every other science, however, it requires countless pains and immeasurable time. The Madrigal club aims to the best of its ability to help those who wish to acquire perfection along this line. Tutentty-Sevrn Bark Kote—Sciiall, Fimiocan, ViLUd. Mimu, Gmckman. Vos knrn, Chill.

That the lime may pass more quickly.” IN 1919 the Dramatic Club was organized for the purpose of studying the dramatization of plays and to promote the interest of the school at large in dramatics. It was originally a girls’ club, but in 1921 it was reorganized with boys and girls. In 1923 the name was changed to Marionettes, and has remained so. It has been the custom of the club to present one or two groups of plays during the school year. This year the first group consisted of “Three Pills in a Bottle. a delightful story of souls incarnate; “Nevertheless,” a comic story of a nice big burglar who was reformed by two had little children; and the “Turtle Dove.” a Chinese love story. These were so enthusiastically accepted by the school that a second group was presented; “The Romancers,” a costume play of love and gouty old fathers; “A Night at an Inn.” which kept the audience stirred up with its mystery: and “Wisdom Teeth.” a farcical comedy of a dentist’s office. It is safe to say that the club has experienced the most successful year, both artistically and financially, of its existence. Much of this success is due to Mrs. Haertel. faculty adviser, and Miss Orton and Miss Hill, coaches. The Marionettes urge all Junior and Senior pupils interested in dramatic work to take part in the try-outs to be held early in the fall. This year's success has opened wonderful opportunities for next year, and the new facilities for staging performances are added inducements. Twenty-Eight Bark Ron Hum, Jckiin, Turnu, Mi� � Cinm.

Collin GIRLS’ “W” CLUB Ruth Benjamin.............................President WANDA Toba................................Vice-President Eleanor SwiCK.............................Secretary-Treasurer To the land oj the Dacotahs, 1 o the land of handsome women.'' THE Girls' ‘ Club, because of its small membership during the past few years, has probably slipped a notch from the foreground. Although, for this reason, the club lias not attracted much public attention, it has enjoyed true success in the sense of accomplishment. I nlike many of the other clubs, it requires a long period of time and a great deal of hard work before a girl may be eligible for membership. The requisite for entrance to the group is the earning of six hundred athletic points. Only two hundred of these may be earned in any one sport. There must be one hundred major and five hundred minor or vice versa. Therefore, to earn a letter all contestants must participate in at least three types of sports. After the winning of a “W,” it is the ambition of every girl to procure her silver loving cup, the final and supreme award. A girl must earn one thousand sporting points in order to obtain a cup. There are only six girls at the present lime who hold this coveted honor. To all girls of West High School, the “W club wishes to send a sincere invitation. We want you to become interested in athletics, to make a place for yourself on the various teams, and, finally, to become members of this organization. It is not. in the least sense of the word, an honor to be considered as thrust upon one. It is one worthy of your best effort, one worth striving for and obtaining. The girls of the “W” club are leaders in girls' athletics, girls who have set their heart upon the idea of attaining that which they finally have succeeded in getting. They arc the girls whom the younger aspirants for honors similar to theirs are constantly watching. They are the ones to whom the feeling of success has come. Every girl should strive to attain the level which these girl have reached. May their number ever increase. Twenty-Sine Hack Non -ClirriM, Lee. Smith. Known. Best, Ion. Andembon.

A 1 1 HOUGH I he ” Club was originally founded for the express purpose of d helping those who are competing for this honor, it has increased through the years to include many other ami varied functions. Realizing that interest in winter sports needed stimulation, the organization initiated a plan of basketball competition among the various classes. Each class forms a team under the tutelage of some man who has already won his letter in this sport. A trophy was offered. In order to obtain this trophy tin same team must win the tournament three successive years. The present trophy rests with the “A senior class. Following along this same plan of attracting public notice to Hockey and Basketball, a contest has been conducted between the U. C. Club and the “ V ‘ men. Each group gave auditoriums advertising their sports. The Club which attracted most notice to their particular activity was to be banqueted by the other. The need of such a program as this need hardly be pointed out when one marks the poor support given basketball during the past year. Athletics are increasingly on the decline in West High largely through the refusal of the student body at large to cooperate in attendance. Let us. therefore, make a universal plea. The “ is endeavoring to promote this cause to the best of its abilitv. It has accomplished much, but the membership is small and can go no further without full school support.

In all youthful sports and pastimes. A SPIRITED and universal club is this body. The G. A. A. stands for both of these basically important qualities. Every girl may, and is urgently asked, to join our ranks. Because of the large membership, regular meetings are impossible. In a sense, however, there is a continuous meeting because of the sports going on in the gym at all times of the year. Knowing that a wide range of sports is necessary to keep the large membership intact and intere t keen in all factions, there has been added to the already large list, another activity, that of field hockey. This last fall was its first active trial and is proved beyond a doubt to be the most popular of all girls sports. It is now to become a permanent institution. The Girls Athletic Association has two regular parties each year. These are held in the spring and fall. The last one was held in the fall in the form of a Hallowe’en Picnic. It took place at the Minnehaha Tourists’ Camp. In this line the club has shown its power of entertainment to be as infinite as its faculty for leading. In order to get the girls actively interested in each sport, there have been managers appointed to advertise each particular phase of athletics. These managers are: Violet Bcrgon, field hockey; Katherine Cudworth, track; Dorothy Wallace, hiking; Gretchen Koehler, skating; Betty Broman, swimming; Ruth Benjamin, baseball; Helen Dwan and Eleanor Swick. tennis; Helen Sterling and Eleanor Gould, riding. In the last two years, the girls have been asked to check the sport in which they are interested. When activity in this sport began, they were notified of its commencement by the manager of that particular sport. In this way the activities have been made more easily attainable to a greater number of girls. Thirty-One Back Kate—Smith, Bate . E. Johnmn. Temeixton, Wombath. VniTCOMi. Tbite, Kent.

THE French Club was organized at West a year ago last fall, in order to create among the students a better comprehension of the French language and a more thorough knowledge of the land of France. Every year the students of the club and the various French classes send a box of gifts to the Orphelinat des Armees in Paris. This year, after Christmas, Miss Hiscock received a letter from Mademoiselle Parodi, the secretary of the orphanage, thanking us for our gifts. We are much indebted to Miss Hiscock. our faculty leader, who has done a great deal for the club. She has coached the plays and given unsparingly of her time to the betterment of the organization. Pupils having one term of French are eligible for membership. In this way-all those interested in the development of a more complete idea of the language and its history may do so by coming into active membership in the club. Eight plays have been presented during the past year. The students have entered into these with a great deal of interest. Miss Hiscock addressed the club at the September meeting, telling them of her trip abroad and presenting them with the posters she purchased for them while in France. Interesting programs are scheduled for the rest of the term. Thirtv-Three Rack Rate Kit kip, Go� � . Moniian, I.. Ford, Nvr. Si-ear, Dietrich, II am kin . Kmc.

Heck......................Faculty Adviser “For the earth he drew a straight line For the sky a bow above it.'' DURING the present times of turbulent construction and reconstruction, Mathematics as it is applied to countless engineering and industrial processes, is quickly coining to the front as an interesting science rather than a piece of mechanical drudgery. Following this trend, there has been, oflf and on through a good many years, a Mathematics Club at West. We were, however, put on a more permanent basis two years ago by the efforts of Miss Maud G. Beck and Mr. T. P. Gruwell, who have served as faculty advisers since then. The club meetings are held every two weeks. Before each, a committee is appointed which is responsible for the presentation and also the explanation of some phase of Mathematics. The topics taken up this term are: “Geometric Fallacies,’’ “Magic Squares.” the Slide Rule, and the Transit. Mr. Beal of the Astronomy department at the University very kindly consented to address the club on Mathematics as it relates to the stars. Other outside speakers have also been procured. Later in the spring a number of surveying trips will be taken to Glenwood Park, the Ford Dam. and other places outside the city. These trips are picnic affairs and arc of immense practical value. Any student of West is eligible to membership. 'File only requisite is that he shall be willing to contribute his share to the increased knowledge of the club as a whole. We arc sure that all will be well paid for the interest shown by the better understanding which they will enjoy in the classroom. Thirty-Four Back Note— Stvixk. Paoo.v, Cilicst, McCucoi. Lonc.

Fuck ROUND TABLE Gkokck Maiskii..........................President Marjorie Fi.kck.........................Vice-President Ralph Struck............................Secretary-Treasurer Miss C. B. Leet.........................Faculty Adviser “She. had sent through all the, village Messengers with words of wisdom.’' THE years have passed and the space which separates the clank of spear, the waving of plumes which characterized King Arthur’s time has widened beyond the call. Yet still the spirit which promoted those pilgrimages planned around the mythical Round Table lives—the spirit of service. It was primarily to serve that this offspring of legendary times was formed a number of years ago under the leadership of Miss Clara B. Leet, who has since given service ns faculty adviser. Doubtless the best indication of the extent to which this ideal has been accomplished is a realization of the duties which membership entails. All members serve as monitors during the study periods in the library by collecting library slips and communicating these to the teacher in charge of the study hall. By this system a good deal of worry and needless loss of time is eliminated. Membership is open only to Juniors and Seniors of creditable scholarship and good character. Since the history of the Round Tabic is inseparable with that of the library, it might be well to tell of the few improvements which this part of the school has undergone. At the first of the year a number of new books were added to the already fine collection. Among these are numbered source and reference books for history; books on debating technique; and volumes of a scientific nature. In the past, the members of the Round Table have faithfully served the school in promoting interest in the library and its surroundings. In the future those who may be appointed, must resolve to do their utmost in helping in the library and upholding the school’s standards of loyalty and service.

Joiikaom THE CXC CLUB Gordon Kruse..............................President Stanley Loye..............................Vice-President Edward Burrill............................Secretary- Edcar Perkins.............................Treasurer “Buried were all warlike weapons And the war cry was j or gotten” ALMOST as permanent as one of the bricks of the building itself is this organization, and almost as important as a factor in holding the school together. Ever since its founding, the CXC Club lias aimed to do all that is humanly possible toward helping around tin school and creating a feeling of brotherhood among the students. Each year it has engineered a number of projects which tend toward aiding in this direction. Perhaps most ambitious of these is the “Find Yourself Campaign.” Each student who was interested was given a self analysis blank. This form, when correctly filled out, contained information which would be of help to an outsider in advising a vocation. An auditorium was held the fifteenth of March to advertise this scheme. On the twenty-third of the same month, a banquet was held. At this time each boy who had filled out a blank was given an opportunity for a personal interview with some man successful in the vocation to which the fellow was attracted. In addition to this, which would seem to suffice in itself, the organization has held, each year, a “Get-together” for the freshmen and incoming students. Members are also in charge of the second hand book room, which caters so largely to the students at the start of each new term. In conjunction with the annual Fathers’ and Sons’ day, we plan, this year, to promote a Mothers’ and Sons’ day. Since the service which this club extends is of such immense proportions, membership has been made elective and conducted so as to include only the outstanding leaders of boys in the school. Boys are admitted to the club upon their word that they will work to the best of their ability toward the advancement of the school. Thirty-Six Back Roar— Dulman, Korn . Hum, IIa� lv, Mtm .

REALIZING that, whereas the high school athlete is acclaimed by the world at large, those who were scholastically high gained no recognition, the Key Society was organized in 1921, for the purpose of acclaiming and encouraging scholarship. Its emblem is Greek key bearing a symbolic laurel wreath, upon which is the letter “WM in old English text. One of these Keys is given to each member by the Parents' and Teachers' Association, of which Mrs. Charles A. Reed is presiding officer. At first they were presented at commencement, but the last two years they have been given at auditoriums before the whole student body in the same manner in which letters are awarded. In order to be eligible, a student must have throughout his course an average of 2.30 or better. In figuring this average, a grade of “A” counts as three points, “B” as two points, “C” as one point, “IV zero, and fail, minus one. Students with a 2.50 average are admitted when “B” seniors; those with an average of from 2.30 to 2.50 when “A” seniors. The Club wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Elizabeth Fairfield, its faculty adviser, who has so generously given her time and assistance in helping to make the club a success. Let us also extend our plea to all the entering freshmen to strive as faithfully for entrance to this group as they doubtless will on the athletic field. Thirtv-Sevtn Back R ou—Mm. Kttrn, Mu.

C.” Club, an organization of senior and junior girls, has for its purpose the promotion of a spirit of aiding where help is needed and a spirit of cooperation among the girls. There are more than three hundred members, who are divided into circles. These circles have worked together in pasting picture books for the children's wards in hospitals, in making favors for the Thanksgiving dinner given to the veterans at Asbury Hospital, and in dressing dolls for children selected by the Visiting Nurses. These dolls were presented at a Christmas party to which the girls brought the children. For several of the children it was their first automobile ride as well as their first beautifully dressed doll. The entertainment committee has provided fine entertainment and programs for the regular meetings. Outside speakers have told us of the Visiting Nurse Association, of the business of Advertising, of the Honor System in Schools, and of the Youth Movement for Peace. We have given receptions to the Freshmen and to the Home Club. A Valentine party was given to the girls’ club at Central. They reciprocated by entertaining us delightfully on Saint Patricks’ Day. Two new undertakings have marked our year: the installing of a museum and the responsibility of advertising the boys’ hockey games. The museum, placed in the upper front hall, will, we hope, prove a valuable asset to the school in providing a place in which to display material illustrative of history, literature, arts, and sciences. Boosting hockey, in competition with the Boys’ “W” Club, stimulated a wider interest throughout the school in that sport. As a consequence, a larger number of students attended the games. The club contributed twenty-five dollars to the community fund. The Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet, at which Miss Stella Louise Wood was the speaker, marked the installation of the new president. It also marked the end of the year 1925-1926. Jeannette Wells, President, Elizabeth Murphy, Secretary. Forty CALENDAR 1915 AND 192.6 September 21—Rally Meeting. .Mr. Greer, Speaker. 300 pledged.

Forli Ont CLASS OF JANUARY, 1916 WE of the January Class have now finished our four years at W est—years in which we have hoped, worked, and achieved—years in which we have, in our associations, been imbued with the highest standards of American manhood and womanhood. Every nerve, fibre, and grain of character in us has been so molded and shaped that we can give our very best to God and our country. As we search for some means of showing our gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful efforts, help, and sacrifices of those who have directed our career at West, we believe that we can best show our gratitude by struggling to attain those high ideals of honor and citizenship which they have instilled in us. We hesitate on the threshold, fearing to break the bonds of love and friendship for West. But they shall not be broken. We shall forever cherish the fighting spirit and the sportsmanship of West. Donald Long, President. Fortij-Tico CLASS OF JUNE, 192.6 WHAT a joy it has been for us, the June Class of 1926, to have spent four such years at West! Although our class is one of the largest classes that has ever graduated from West, our success in athletics, our unusual scholarship, our many members talented in dramatics, make it a privilege to graduate with such a class. Now, as we are about to leave West and meet the hardships of life which face us, the tables have turned; we no longer arc to expect favors, in the forms of advice and sacrifice, from the faculty. We will have only the appreciation of their kindness and patience. As we drift apart throughout the world, as we overcome our temptations and toil our way through difficulties, we will all have one common thought, that of dear old West. We feel that we have benefited mostly from the priceless experiences and lessons that we have gained at West. We desire to thank the faculty, as well as our fellow students, for the splendid spirit of cooperation which they have extended to us. We sincerely hope that the following classes may have the same success in all their undertakings as it has been our fortune to receive. The memory of our days here will be a lasting page in our book of life. Charles Warren, President. Forty-Three JUNE CLASS OR the span of years allotted to us, we are all runners -runners in the race of life. Success is the lot of those who endure best, for endurance is always needed if the runner is to reach his ultimate goal. Whatever the goal, it will best be reached by those who have untiring endurance and perseverance along the turbulent highway of life. To those who reach the goal, to them are given the laurels.

WEST’S outlook on the 1925 gridiron season was exceptionally good when the first call was made during the first week of school, with approximately 100 candidates reporting, ten of which were letter men of the 1921 eleven. With only four weeks before our first game, Royal P. Guctzloe, our new coach, quickly began to whip his men into shape and chose his first squad. Ihe Green and While pigskin chasers started their practice schedule against the St. Louis Park eleven September 22 on their own field, and came out with a 19 to 2 victory. Although the playing of the West squad was quite ragged, they showed indications of a great deal of fight and drive. The 7-0 victory over the much heralded St. Thomas High School team three days later, showed that the Green and White aggregation would be a team to be reckoned with in the pennant race, and drew the attentions of the football followers to them. Although practically the whole squad got into action in this game, the plunging of George LaBatte and the line playing of Ralph Gunner and Captain Merfeld strongly stood out. West started out with the wampum in the cup school race October 2, at Nicollet Park, when they took the South eleven into camp by a twelve to nothing score. The South team, although much lighter than the West warriors, was fast, and Discher’s runs threatened the West goal several times, but South's line was not able to stand up against the battering of the Green and White chargers. The next game, played a week later with Roosevelt, was a heart breaker. After Seventy-Six The Championship Tussle at North Journal photo the two teams had battled through three quarters without scoring, West finally stepped into the lead when Ralph Merchant broke away and ran fifty-five yards across the goal line. With only six minutes to play, the Teddies immediately opened up a passing attack with Stan McLeod hurling the ball, and John Kolesar on the receiving it, until they pushed the ball behind the last line. The West line blocked Kolesar's drop-kick, and the game ended half a minute later in a 6-6 deadlock. The game two weeks later, played against the Red and Blue team, also ended in a tie. Both teams showed a good brand of football, but because of the slippery footing, neither team showed much of an advantage, or threatened to score, so we were forced to be satisfied with a scoreless tie. hen the Westerners met the Edison eleven on October 30, on Central’s new athletic field, they romped away with a 10-0 victory, and stepped into a tie for the football lead. The game with North, played on the Blue and White field on November 5, saw the Green and White eleven up against a superior team, and ended West’s hopes for a championship grid team. Although the West team fought valiantly, they were not able to stop the attack of North’s backfield, Gordon, Mil leti. Back, and Welton, and were forced to take a 20-0 drubbing. The Marshall game, which concluded the season on November 10, ended with West on the short end of a 13-6 score, and left the Green and White combination with victories over South and Edison, ties with Central and Roosevelt, and defeats from the hands of Marshall and North. The 1925 football race developed into a very close contest between seven strong teams, and the championship was not decided until the last game of the season, when Central outfought North for a 20-19 victory before an Armistice Day crowd of over twenty thousand rooters.

West went through the season undefeated, winning five contests. West gained the jump on the other high schools in the race by starting practice several weeks before any other school had its team on the ice. The call, given early in November, was answered by five veterans of the previous year’s team and an abundance of good material. The West squad took shape rapidly and they played their first practice games during the Winter Carnival held at the Arena. They trounced the South team in a preliminary contest, and then overcame the First National Bank sextet the same evening in a well-played game. The score was 1-0. The playing of the West team showed clearly that it was to be reckoned with as a title contender in the coming hockey campaign. West opened their regular schedule against the strong Central team on January 6 and triumphed by a 3-0 score. McCabe, flashy West forward, began the scoring after three minutes of play when he flashed the puck past the Central goalie on a well-executed shot. It was the only score of the first and second period. The Red and Blue pucksters put up a stiff defense during the earlier periods but weakened near the end of the game in an attempt to tic the score and allowed two more West scores to enter the net during the last three minutes of play. West avenged the two former defeats from the hands of Central, the only two defeats handed a West hockey team by a city high school during the past five years. The next game was played three weeks later against North. The West team encountered difficulty in regaining their former stride after a three-week layoff. Seventy-Bight A Practice at the Isles This, coupled with the good defense play of .North held West in check for the better part of two periods. Neither team scored until near the close of the middle period, when Burr Williams, West defense man, skated through the North outer defense and let fly a beautiful long shot from mid-ice, which caromed off a North player’s stick into the nets for the first score of the game. West regained their former pace and counted three times in the final period, the North defense weakening. The next game, with South, proved a run away for the Green and White, the West puckstcrs counting eight times while holding their opponents scoreless. The Westerners had kept their slate clean thus far, no goal having been pushed past Goalie Malsed. The Edison game, played for the city championship, became an easy victory for the West team. With three West and one Edison regular on the sidelines on account of eligibility, neither team was accorded an advantage and both teams unleashed a varied attack. West clinched the city title, scoring a 5-1 victory over the fighting Tommies. Charles W'arren was the star of the West team, scoring three of W est’s five counters. Conway also played a big part in the West victory, scoring the first West goal after three minutes of play. Mis defense play also was of a high type. Warren counted a few minutes later when he skated through the entire Edison team and shot the puck past the goalie for West’s second score. West met the Roosevelt team in the final encounter of the season with its championship secure. Although they were headed for a few moments by a lighting Roosevelt team, they soon tied the score, took the lead, and were never headed from that point on. Spring hockey practice, a custom adopted last spring when the Arena remained open, continued this year with the various class teams in competition. Good material has been unearthed, as the veterans were not allowed to compete in these games. Coach Bradley will have a comparatively inexperienced group from which to choose his 1027 hockey team.

Guctzloe was confronted with the difficult task of moulding together a team which would creditably represent West in the race for the prep school championship. However, his call, given out late in March, was answered by a promising lot of underclassmen. Practice, held for a time indoors, uncovered some good material. After a short time of extensive drill outdoors. West met the St. Louis Park nine on April 3 in their first practice game. In a surprisingly close and well-fought game, the St. Louis Park team triumphed by a 3-2 score. Roth teams were in unusually good condition for so early in the season, playing practically air-tight hall throughout and giving good support to their moundsmen. A second practice game was played against Minnesota Business College. These games were followed by a series of practice games with the Edison nine. The schedule was opened on April 24 against Central on the West field. The Centralites triumphed over the Westerners by a 9-2 score. Central played remarkable ball in the field, making only one error, while Captain “Lefty” Evans moved down the West batters with eighteen strike-outs. Nye, after an indifferent start, was relieved by Saunders, who finished the game in good style. On May 1 West engaged in their best game of the season, dropping a pitchers' duel to John Marshall High by a 2-1 count. After the first inning, when each team scored one run, both pitchers, l eo Vessels for West and Robert Lee, Marshall's ace. tightened up and pitched air-tight ball. The winning counter was made in the seventh inning, when Bashaw, W est left-fielder, lost a fly ball in the sun. Eighty West vs. Marshall Journal Photo North, undefeated thus far, was met in the next game, and handed the Westerners their third consecutive defeat by a 20-7 score. The Bine and White players, led by Beano Mileti, went on a hatting rampage and they clouted the offerings of the West pitchers to all corners of the field. Bashaw was the West star at hat. I he Green and White players ended the first round on the Roosevelt field on May 8 when the Teddies overcame them 18-10. Vessels pitched winning hall for West until the sixth inning, when the Roosevelt batters, held at hay up to this point found his offerings for nine runs, gaining a lead which West never threatened. The second game with Central, played on the Central field two weeks later, ended with W est on the short end of a 1.4 4 count. West broke into the win column the next game when they defeated Marshall, untouched during the first round, in the biggest upset of the year. West secured fifteen hits, overwhelming the Cardinal players, who were unable to solve the offerings of “Lefty” Vessels. The second North game, played at North Commons a week later, turned into a slugging bee. Frequent downpours of rain during the game interfered with the playing of both teams and accounted for the loose playing and heavy hitting. I he teams garnered a total of thirty-five hits during the course of the afternoon. A wet ball and slippery footing also accounted for the inability of the fielders to handle the leather cleanly. The final game of the year, played against Roosevelt on May 26. resulted in another victory for the W esterners. This proved to be W est’s second upset of the season. Turner led the West batsmen by gathering four hits out of five trips to the plate. Thomas and Bashaw were not far in the rear, each obtaining three blows apiece. West’s outlook for the coining season is exceptionally brilliant, with seven “W men answering the first call for practice. The team is a veteran one and should place high in the running for the prep championship. Eighty-One Back Rote—Coach Zavoo k y. Voooukc, Myth . Mattson. cai-t., Coym.ano. I.aRait.

Debt, Jacob , Zekman TRACK But the memory of the strong men Lingered long among the people'9 IN many respects the work in track during this season was almost identical with that of previous years. The honors which were won in the usual number of meets were again of secondary calibre. Central High of Minneapolis again won the city and Twin City championships and West, not far behind in points accumulated in each meet, stood second. There were, however, a few deviations from the usual routine: one, an Indoor Track Meet Festival sponsored by the Fenia Club of the Twin Cities,—an athletic event in which the World Champion middle and long distance runner, Paavo Nurmi of Finland, together with several United States champions participated. The local high schools were invited to compete in the relay races, and West put in the field her first two-mile team and, as luck would have it, came out victorious with a silver loving cup and medals for each runner as trophies. The other notable event was inaugurated during the outdoor city track meet in which Captain Carl Mattson distinguished himself by breaking the city record for the high jump, five feet, nine and three-quarter inches. His teammate, Chester Copeland, duplicated the feat by shattering the javelin throw record of one hundred and fifty-nine feet. The customary indoor season, as one might expect, was not a crowning success insofar as winning of meets is concerned, but it served in a large measure as a conditioning factor for the outdoor work. The four meets that were scheduled were lost to West except one—the North contest. The other schools, particularly strong in running ability, pushed West to the bottom of the championship ladder. No sooner had the indoor schedule been completed, than the outdoor work began. The customary Hamline Relay Carnival, conducted in the first week of May, gave the squad but three weeks of training outdoors for the races. A few bad weather High ty-T tco The Start ok the Hurdles Journ-il Photo interruptions handicapped the work even more, so that no victories were recorded for West on that day. The Carleton meet that followed was a total disappointment to all the contestants. The rainy and cold weather ruined it all. Central, again with a well-balanced team, plowed through a sea of mud to victory, and West came second in scoring. The City Meet was better for our boys, as they performed that day the best, for they came within points of winning the city championship. Captain Mattson and Copeland scored heavily on this day. The State Interscholastic Meet, held at the University of Minnesota, concluded the track season. The weather, being unusually hot and oppressing that day, did not help our boys to perform very efficiently. The result was, however, approximately the same as in the previous meets. Minneapolis Central again won ami West maintained their usual second place. To sum up the work of the West track team of 1925, one is safe in saying that it distinctly Incked the necessary balance, a feature often responsible for the success of any athletic organization. In the weights, jumping, and vaulting events, the boys managed to hold their own. They were also consistently successful in hurdles and the middle distance running, but the apparent weakness in the sprints caused them to bow to Central, who was particularly blest with an abundance of sprinting material. The morale of the team was splendid and the leadership of Captain -Mattson was superb. He proved himself of great value to the team both as a performer and a modest, consistently influential leader. The training of athletes in crowded, dusty, narrow halls, is, obviously enough, not conducive to good results. The writer is convinced of the fact that many West boys, athletically inclined, become discouraged when invited to train three long winter months in an atmosphere charged with micro-organisms detrimental to their health, just for the privilege of representing the school in two or three contests in the spring, which, being always short, offers no opportunity for training out of doors.

Their lone victory came when they defeated Marshall in the final game of the season. W est opened the schedule against North on their own floor on January 15. They emerged from contest on the short end of a 38-21 score. A week later they suffered their second straight setback when the Roosevelt team look them into camp by a 31 1.8 score. The work of Thomas for W est and Kolesar for Roosevelt featured. On February 2, the Westerners suffered their worst defeat of the season, bowing to their traditional rivals by a 31-8 score. Central outplayed them in every department of the game. A comeback was made against South, then tied for the lead, when the Green and White team held the Southerners on even term? for the first three quarters, finally allowing them to draw away in the final period. The score was 25-11. W hen Marshall met West to decide the cellar occupant, West was defeated by a last minute rally on the part of Marshall by a 22-19 score. In the second North game the Westerners outplayed the North side players throughout the game, only to see their victory snatched away during an extra period, when North assumed a two-point lead. The final score was 34-32. West broke into the win column in their second game with Marshall, the final contest of the season, when they assumed an early lead and held it throughout. A rally by Marshall in the final minutes of play was halted and the game ended in a 22-21 victory for West. Captain Harry Thomas, Francis Farrell, and John Bashaw were the outstanding players for W est. Farrell receiving honorable mention for an all-city berth. Eighty Four Hock Hoi NtiuOK, Ami: , Sunil.

None could swim so fast as he could.” qrHE Green and White's 1926 swimming season was practically a repetition of the previous years competition. With practically all the interest and strength centered around the West and Central teams, the competition developed into a battle between these old traditional rivals, and became so close that a post-schedule meet had to be held to determine the champions. West’s hopes for another championship team were floating sky-high early in November, when Coach A. I). Norton issued the first call. Seven veterans of the previous year’s team answered it. together with a good supply of new material. Practice began at once. After bowing in a practice meet the first week of school after the Christmas vacation against the John Byan Baths team, the Green and White swimmers began their schedule February I at the ’t . M. G. A. against Central's team. Although the Green and W hite team took a majority of first places, the Bed and Blue fish were able to garner enough points to finish the meet with a 38-31 lead. After each team had defeated the Edison team by a decisive score, they met on February 25 in the last regular meet of the season. West avenged their former defeat and tied Central’s claims to the city title by a 38-31 victory. George Hobart, West’s high point man in every meet of the season, carried the Green and White colors in the national prep meet in Chicago. He returned with a second and third place victory in the 100 and 10 yard free style swims, and carried the Green and White, two days later, to two firsts in the Northwestern meet, one of which was a new record. The swim-off for the city title, held March 25, resulted in a 39-31 victory for West, and captured for them their second consecutive city title. George Hobart was again the high point man of the meet. As a result of their victory, the West team will represent the Minneapolis High Schools in the state meet in Biwabik.

It developed into a smoothly running machine as the season advanced and brought out a great deal of promising material which will undoubtedly be of value to the next Green and White eleven. In addition to standing against the battering of the West first stringers, it launched a campaign against the second teams of the other schools, a large majority of which were defeated. It opened its schedule against St. Louis Park’s first team. The Parkers avenged their defeat at the hands of the West first team a week before by handing the Green and White second squad a 7-0 setback. The West team then traveled to orth and look the Blue and White aggregation into camp by a 19-13 count. Best opened the scoring, running twenty yards through a broken field for the initial touchdown of the game. Later, in the second half, Captain Baas and Copps increased West’s lead to safe margin by scoring a touchdown apiece. The game with the Roosevelt second eleven, played a few days later, proved to be a runaway. Coach Krieger’s charges launched a strong attack against the Teddies, scoring twice during the first half. Wilbur Palm carried the ball across the line each time. In the third quarter, Harry Copps increased West’s margin to nineteen by intercepting a Roosevelt pass and dodging 55 yards until he had crossed the last chalk line. Shipley concluded the scoring when he recovered a fumble late in the game, behind Roosevelt’s line, making the final score 25-0. A series with the University High eleven was divided, West winning one and dropping one. North was met in a second encounter and defeated by a 13-12 count in a very exciting game. West also tied the Central seconds and dropped their last game to the heavier Edison team. Eighty-Six Hack Koie—Kinneca.n. Saou-tr. C. Ix omi� . Asunms. Mr. Zavooakt. White.

Chance, Hot rm CROSS COUNTRY “He lia l moccasins enchanted, Magic moccasins of deerskin.’’ CROSS country running in the fall of 1925 at West started with keen enthusiasm and interest manifested by a large group of candidates, a large number of whom were experienced runners. Almost the entire of the previous season returned to “punish,” if possible, some of the opposing teams who, in the past, have administered a few stinging defeats and they almost completely succeeded in their attempt. The Roosevelt runners were the only team that subdued West. Roth teams, running in the last meet of the season, so far undefeated in their schedules, were striving to gain the championship, and a hard fought battle was waged between the representatives of the two schools. The other teams fell before the Green and White harriers in due order. Captain Fairbanks was the mainstay of the cross country squad, placing first in practically every meet, being nosed out in only two meets. Robert Nelson, former captain, was also a consistent point winner, as was Daniel Feidt, also a former captain. The scores of the meets are as follows: West 93 South ...27 West 79 Central ...41 West 64 Edison West North West 117 Marshall ... ... 3 West 37 Roosevelt .. ...33 The success achieved by these representatives of West's fall athletics may he ascribed in part to a few experienced men, but in a large measure, the team’s accomplishments were cine to a number of new candidates who never before ran a race for West.

West won from Marshall, North. Roosevelt, and South, and was defeated by Central and Edison. It was a very successful season. Thirty-two candidates answered the call soon after the start of school and look part in the school tournament. Among these were three veterans, Willard Brown. Clifford Jewett, and William Hcydrick. In the ensuing tournament Chandler Ide became the fourth member of the team. On October I. West won its opening match against North, defeating the Blue and White players 1-1. In the South contest, the play was stopped on account of darkness. The score stood at two matches won by each team and the third and deciding match tied at two sets each. West won the playoff. Roosevelt defaulted to the Green and White net men. and West stood tied for first place in the race for the prep championship. In the next match against Central, the Westerners suffered their first defeat, three matches to two. Pendleton of Central defeated Jewett of West 6-2, 6-3 in the opening match, but Hcydrick evened up the game by beating Carney of Central. DeGrofi put Central into the lead by beating Ide 6-4, 6-4, only to have the match tied up once more when Jewett and Heydrick defeated Carney and Pendleton in a doubles match. DeGroff and Woodsworth won the deciding match by heating Ide and Brown 6-5, 3-6. 6-5. After losing to Edison 3-2. West ended the season on October 20. with a win over Marshall, placing us in a tie with Central for second place. Heydrick was the luminary of the West team, going through the entire season undefeated in a singles match. The outlook for the spring campaign is exceedingly bright.

' WEST'S golfers got into swing early last fall and played off the qualification round for the school tournament shortly after school started. William Hal-lenbcck was a school medalist with the score of seventy-five. The lowest sixteen scores qualified, leaving the high score at ninety-one. At the completion of the first two rounds, the team was chosen. It consisted of Fred Moore. William Hallenbeck. William Heydrick. and Robert Lee. Hallenbeck and Moore, the finalists in the tournament, played off their match for the school championship, and Moore triumphant. won up in nineteen holes. The golfers opened competition with the other high schools on Oct. 3, when they trimmed the Roosevelt aggregation by fourteen strokes. West’s team score of 319 was the low score of the day. The next day the team was off form and dropped their match to North by fourteen strokes. Captain Pierson led the Blue and White players with a score of 75. while Hallenbeck led the West aggregation with an 82. The following week the West outfit recuperated and took the South team into camp by a margin of 28 strokes. In their next match, they finished fourteen strokes ahead of the Marshall representatives, and closed the season when Central defaulted to them. The West team finished in second place in the season’s standings, and with all the fellows for the spring campaign, the outlook for the 1926 season was unusually bright. Captain Pierson of North took the low honors for the 1925 season by going around in 68 and leading his team in their remarkably low score of 292.

Tnm, Bmwbtt, Andomom GIRLS’ HIKING “As she tvandered through the village In the early gray of morning ONE of our popular modern authors says that ‘ as long as there is romance, there will be high heels.” On the other hand, it is equally true that as long as hiking is indulged in. there will be low, sensible-heeled brogues; for as long as girls are sensible, their shoes for trodding over hill and dale will also be sensible. It is not to be wondered at that hiking in the past year has attained unusual success. The girls themselves realize the value of it in more ways than one. It brings about more new friendships than would otherwise be possible. When the girls start on these hikes, they are naturally drawn to another girl in the group. When they reach the outskirts of the city, they are somewhat acquainted with their new companion. Probably, somewhere in Nature’s passes, they will discover more than one thing in common. The result is that they become strong school friends. Another cause for the popularity of this sport is the ease with which points can be earned. In order to win fifty points a season, thirty-two miles must he hiked. This quota is usually divided up into four, six. and an eight mile jaunt. There are four of the former and six of the six mile hikes. Only one of the eight mile hikes is provided for each season. To the enthusiastic hiker, these distances seem next to nothing at all. The girls, with Dorothy Wallace, who is in charge of hiking, find the most popular stretches around Lake Harriet, Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, and out along Minnetonka Boulevard. Although they have crossed and recrossed these familiar areas, interest in them is never lost. Why is this true? Just because Nature has worked to a perfection, her many arts and tricks in these certain areas. While hiking has achieved decided success, it is hoped that the girls will show even more spirit and enthusiasm for this sport in the future. yinttv-F.ight Back K- u—! A tr� o . Amuejuv . Bi� WKTT.

To a GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY INSTALLATIONS of new sports do not always meet with immediate approval, but field hockey was found to be all that it was primed up to be. The girls turned out almost as rapidly and enthusiastically as small boys answer the clang of an approaching fire engine. In field hockey the girls have found a sport entirely different from any of the older ones. The variety serves to increase the popularity of the new activity. The girls arc able to show their merits both individually and collectively. The head work of a player comes more into play in this sport than in any other. In order to gain the greatest advantage over the opponents, the girls of one team must use teamwork and headwork. 'fhe manager of field hockey was not chosen until the practice season was well under way. Because of the all around ability that she displayed, Violet Bergon was finally named as manager by the G. A. A. Board, with the help of Miss Loose and Miss Culler. fhe Sophomores and the Juniors put forth the best teams as the season advanced and appeared in line for the championship. In order to keep the interest at a high pitch, these two teams did not meet until the end of the season. After a closely fought contest, the Juniors emerged victorious. fhe score was 2-1. The teams showed a great advancement over the form shown in early season and the teamwork of both teams was of a high order. Field hockey has been added as a major sport, and it is hoped by the girls in charge that interest will continue at a high peak. Prospects for strong teams next year are fine in every class and the girls are urged to turn out and support their class team next fall. The girls have shown great interest in this sport in its first year, and it should be a great success in the future. If the reception given it this year is any indication of its popularity in the future, field hockey for girls is going to be the most popular girls' sport at West. yinetv-Sinc Hack Raw -Gvnnui.

Heart and hand that move together.” TEST as the boys wish the attention of the student body to be with them as they arc engaged in the rivalry of the baseball diamond, so the girls wish to draw attention to the gymnasium to a girls’ sport similar to baseball. Baseball has become a part of the inter-class rivalry with the girls, just as it has an inter-school rivalry with the boys. During the past year the interest displayed in baseball has been excellent, and an encouraging number of girls have turned out for this sport. The class teams were picked from abundant material, and the enthusiasm for the games continued high throughout the season. Many of the girls showed marked ability and the captains were chosen. Anne McDonnell led the Seniors, Ruth Benjamin the Juniors. Dorothy Cavenaugh the Sophomores, and Audrey Proctor the Freshmen. Each of these girls played fine games in the class tournaments, and led their teams well in the hard fought games for the championship. The Sophomores, with Dorothy Cavenaugh as captain, finally won the championship, after several thrilling games. The girls who played on the winning team were Wanda Toba, Olive Peeke, Charlotte Young, Violet Bergon, Ruth Johnson, Alice Ensley, and Evclync Sampson. The team had several good players, but it was the fine teamwork and cooperation with one another which led these girls to the title. Baseball, being a fall and winter sport, is played largely in the gymnasium. It has always been popular among the athletic girls and has been fairly well supported. The limited space afforded indoors and the impossibility of playing out of doors, however, has somewhat hindered the development of the sport. It is hoped that the outdoor facilities will be furnished in the near future and that baseball can be developed to the fullest extent of its possibilities. One Hundred Back Bow Kwisc, McUsun.

THE “West Aquarians ’ a swimming club that was formed last fall with Charlotte Verrell as its president, has been exceedingly active this year in the promotion of this sport among the girls. It is now made up of all those girls who have attained their one hundred points in swimming and functions in both advanced and beginners’ classes at the Y. W. C. A. Any member of the G. A. A. who has attained her required one hundred points in swimming is eligible for membership in this club. Although swimming is the only all-year sport on the G. A. A. program, it is especially featured during the winter months, and it is during this time that the big meet is held. The meet, however, does not furnish the only opportunity for gaining points toward G. A. A. honors. In addition to it, there arc try-outs the first Wednesday of each month. Points are given in these tryouts for: sixty yards with one standard stroke, twenty yards with any other, the plunge, front dive, floating for one minute, surface diving, and bobbing up and down ten times in the water. These strokes suffice for the first hundred points. A further one hundred points may be obtained through the life saving test. The requirements for this test are: respiration, three standard carries, breaking a drowning hold, undressing in the deep water, and retrieving an object in the deep water. As there are no interscholastic sports for girls permitted, there is little or no need for team play. Last year a team was organized to enter the state meet at the Minneapolis Athletic Club, but upon the discovery of the above-mentioned ruling, it had to be withdrawn. Betty Broman, who has received both the first test points and the life saving points, now represents the sport on the G. A. A. Board. She is also in charge of the helping of the beginners classes, held each Wednesday at the Y. W. C. A. One Hundred One Dwa . BcMMcrr, Swioc. llo� r, V. Collin GIRLS’ TENNIS “Bring not here a useless woman. Hands unskilled. feet unwilling. THE cal) of tennis is becoming more and more persistent every year. The girls are supporting it with increased zeal each year. In the tournament held last spring, Helen Dwan, the school champion, defeated Ruth Snyder in three stirring sets. The match was close throughout and was not decided until the close of the third set. Helen Dwan, Ruth Snyder, and Betty Darby represented West in the city tournament. Ruth and Betty were eliminated early in the play, but Helen played through to the final matches before she succumbed to the city champion. This tournament has been one of the greatest aids to the interest in tennis that has yet come to the front, as every girl wishes to be one of the few chosen to represent her school. For the past two years, a fall tournament has been held, chiefly as a forerunner to spring tennis. The tournament serves to bring out new talent and keep up the interest. In the one of last fall. Elaine Hosp, Dorothy Bcnnet, and Patricia Collins were the outstanding stars. The play was run off on the “ladder tournament style; that is. the girls names were placed one above another, and a girl could challenge any girl not more than three rungs above her. This type of tournament play has proved more successful than the ‘bracket kind, as in the latter two good players often meet in the early matches with result in the elimination of one of them. In the former type, it has been found that the best players are always near the top of the ladder. Tennis, especially for beginners, has been sponsored by the G. A. . for the past year in the effort to interest girls just beginning to play. Eleanor Swick has managed this part of tennis. Through the push and enthusiasm of Helen Dwan, school champion and manager of tournament tennis, it has been very successful. The G. A. A. hopes that the enthusiasm will keep up and tennis will hold its place with the girls. Oif liimdirti Tim Youkc, Gauiciie , Tance . Wallace, Anduwn, Cavknaucii, Turn.

In previous years track has been only for those girls who were able to star as individuals. This year, however, the team play has characterized the meets. All of the girls received instruction from Katherine Cudworth, who showed unusual ability in the various jumps. Teams were selected by means of a preliminary meet, which served also as a forerunner to the final meet. In the final meet, the Sophomore girls nosed out the Juniors by the close score of 27-24. Led by Charlotte Young, the Sophomores won consistently in the field events, while Eunice Garrigues, also of the Sophomores, starred in the dashes. The Juniors were never far behind, however, and completely outclassed the other teams in the various jumps. Katherine Cudworth showed rare class in these events, breaking the record in the hop, step, and jump event. She was upheld by Ruth Benjamin, who kept the Juniors in the running in the field events. From the Seniors, Anne McDonnell exhibited the most ability. The fourth year class, as a whole, was nothing out of the ordinary. The fact that the two leading teams contained such a great number of sure point winners made this very apparent. The Freshmen ranked third, showing promise of becoming much stronger as they gain more experience. Much is expected from several of the members of the Freshmen team before they graduate. In the election of the captains, the girls used great foresight. In every case, the captain was a high point winner in her class. From the Seniors, Anne McDonnell was elected; from the Juniors. Katherine Cudworth; from the Sophomores. Charlotte Young; and from the Freshmen, Louva Jenson. Since track has been established as a major sport, we expect a great deal in the future.

SraUNC, Dwan GIRLS' RIDING Heard a shouting, and a tramping. Heard a crashing, and a rushing.” RIDING has become increasingly popular and well-supported activity among the West girls, largely through the influence of the West Hiding Club, organized last year under the direction and supervision of Miss Mary Cutler. This club sponsors both beginning and advanced riders. The club received enthusiastic response from the girls and was immediately able to form large beginning and advanced classes. The riding is supervised by the groom. Membership in the club is unlimited, all girls being eligible to belong to the club who arc interested in the sport. At the last meeting in May, 1925, about fifty girls rode for their points. It is this method by which the girls are awarded points by the G. A. A. toward their “W” or the silver loving cup. In this May lest, five attained one hundred points, while two gained one hundred and fifty. Points were awarded for exhibiting a three gaited horse, the correct holding of hands and reins, mounting and dismounting, and the three-foot hurdle. Plans arc now being made to hold a horse show sometime near the close of school. The riders obtained their horses from the Park and Minneapolis Hiding Academies. These academics gave the club reduced rates in order to cut the price to minimum. The girls who head the sport on the G. A. A. Board arc Helen Sterling, representing the Park riders. Lorene Larson, of the Minneapolis, and Jeanne Pnust, of the Allen Hiding School. During the season the Hiding Club has held several before-breakfast and midnight rides to various clubs and cottages in the vicinity of the city. These excursions have heightened the enthusiasm for the already popular sport and have been a source of much joy to the participants. In recognizing all that is perfect, horsemanship adds to the poise, skill, and grace of the rider. One Ituurlrfd Four Rack Rote- Jvnrtxx. Mm Ci-riu, Cmwonni. YoiiWfl front Rote- Hou i:n. CiAir.

There seems to be some special call among the girls for this sport. The late fall, the period for this sport, is always one of great joy among the girls. The Senior girls can now feel that the jinx has been broken. They have at last, after three long years of struggling for victory, defeated every team placed against them and returned champions. In many different sports, and on many different occasions, they have held victory within their grasp, only to lose it through some unseen occurrence. The championship is even more emblematic when the handicap of not having sufficient girls to choose from is taken into consideration. Even though they were victorious in every one of their games, the Seniors were pressed hard by the Junior and Sophomore teams. In the latter game, they were forced to overcome a thirteen point lead in the last half. In the Junior game, the score of 33-28 indicates the closeness of the game. Every team had its outstanding star, which, in most cases, was the captain. Ruth Benjamin was captain of the Senior team; Patricia Stevenson of the Juniors; Thelma Forus of the Sophomores; and Patricia Collins of the Freshmen. Following the precedent established in previous years, an All-Star team was chosen. This year the girls of that team challenged the Edison girls to a series of games. The result was that the Edison girls won two very closely contested games by the scores of 21-15. and 21-16. Ruth Benjamin was the star of the West team, while Florence Cick starred for the Wizards. We hope that volleyball will continue to have its hold over West girls and that many will turn out and try for the teams. Stronger teams will be formed if a great number of girls will answer the call and make competition close. One Hundred Fire Dorothy Carlyle, Patricia Collin . Gretchen Kohler. Mr . Dr Lancet. Marion Collin , Louisa Smith GIRLS' SKATING “Ever thicker, thicker, thicker. Froze the ice on lake and river” FOLLOWING close after the end of the volleyball season, skating was joyfully heralded with the first cold weather by the girls interested in this sport. Fairly mild weather kept the girls on the rinks and fostered the backing of this healthy and pleasant outdoor sport among the girls. The skaters turned out in good numbers at the Lake of the Isles for the six afternoons necessary to be eligible for the try-outs. The awards made by the G. A. A. for skating include the following accomplishments: skating forward and backw-ard, sculling forward and backward, cutting ice forward and backward, and heel turns forward and backward. By doing figure skating or individual tricks, additional points may be secured. As another stipulation, each girl must skate the required distance before qualified judges. These points may be applied toward a “W” or the silver loving cup. Hockey, something that for a long time has been regarded as a desirable but unattainable goal, has not yet been taken up by the girls in the skating program, but it has been tried and recommended by several girl skaters. It is hoped that something definite will be accomplished along this line soon. Gretchen Kohler, who has displayed outstanding ability in skating and enthusiastic interest in the sport, has been the leader of this sport on the athletic hoard during the past year. Gretchen, with the assistance of a few other girls who are prominent skaters, went to the Lake of the Isles on appointed days and helped in the instruction of those girls who were interested enough to come for the help gained. Credit was given for those girls who came to these practices. The girls hope to promote skating even to a greater degree in the coming year, and prospects appear good for the next season. The interest has been kindled and. although the support was not the best during the last year, it is expected to be better during the next.

One Hundred Thirty-One MODERN LOVE Dear Inga veld: Just a note from your long lost mother-in-law, who is wintering well in Hong Kong, Budweiscr. Just a story to advise you that “All's fair in love and war.” This, I think, is a good way to begin my thrilling story, as 1 have hud no experience in this affair (for it is really a terrible affair to be in love). I will relate that I have observed in my short hut lengthy career. Last fall I was walking with my friend. Jim Grillisky, in the twilight of the bountiful September eve. when he told me of his wonderful Margy. He would moan and groan. “Oh—those eyes, that wavy hair, those ruby lips, those pink rhecks, and ah—those pearly teeth!!! The poor hoy, I surely felt sorry for him. Little did he realize and know what a good marcel will do to the hair, lip-stiek to the lips, murine to the eyes, and a good pair of false teeth to the mouth. I thought to myself, is she doing the right thing by him? Well, after meditating a while, I decided she was, for “All’s fair in love ami war.” It happened that I was visiting a girl last month by the name of—no, I will not be so bold and cruel as to tell. The first thing she started telling me was about her new “sheik!” “Oh. dear, he takes me to the Met. every week; he sends me Fanny Farmer chocolates every day; he wears a big hear coat, and takes me riding in his Rolls-Royce roadster every hour! He is a great big he man. I'll tell the world!! Now it happened that I knew this so-called “sheik of hers. The Kolls-Knycc was loaned him by a true friend; the coat was bought at the secondhand store on Washington Avenue; the candy was bought at the clime store and packed in “Fanny Farmer boxes, which he secured through a pretty clerk in Fanny’s store, and the Met. tickets—why, I gave those to him myself. Again 1 thought to myself, was he playing fair with her? Why, surely, for All’s fair in love and war. Only lust week I was dining with a friend who was telling me about a wonderful girl he met that day. When we had finished feeding our faces, he asked me if I would like to go out pleasure-riding with them. Needing some fresh air, I gladly accepted. Sitting in the back seat listening to the man’s eloquence. I marveled at his talking of love to such a short acquaintance. I was indeed greatly startled when 1 heard him ask this fair maiden to marry him. I had heard that it was a common thing among the younger generation to see a gir! one day and marry her the next, but 1 had never seen it attempted. The girl, quite naturally, refused. My friend told her either to promise to marry him or get out of the car and walk home. gai� she refused his offer. At that his ire was aroused, and handing her a car chip, told her she could get on a streetcar when she reached the city limits. 1 asked my friend if that was a proper way to treat an innocent girl. He gaily replied, “Why, all's fair in modern love and war. Thommeg Hayrack. Here’s for bigger and better pretzels Well, thanks for the buggy ride From a love-sick “would be but “can't was.

Beard ArtGalleries 66-68 South 10th Street Around the corner from Mcollet One night, years and years ago, as the moon was leaving the blushing horizon for its trip across the broad expanse of ether, a graceful dinosaur lumbered through a clump of palm trees, thoughtfully crunching on the tree-tops. This dinosaur’s name was Oscar. Three hundreds years before, when Oscar’s blinking eyes first perceived the light of day and when his tiny ears first heard the peguins warbling in the trees above, Oscar’s papa said, “In these little brown eyes there shineth forth great intelligence. We must name him with a name that carries great potence. Hence—Oscar. Now, on this particular night, Oscar was experiencing great consternation. He was a mere lad of three hundred years, but he had the soul of a full grown dinosaur. When Oscar looked at the clouds, he didn't just see a great mass of consolidated atmosphere, but he saw great folds of ivory vapor that floated listlessly about, and if he got in the way, they tickled his funny little nose. But then, this isn’t Oscar's biography, this is only a tragic chapter from his life. For nights, Oscar had been disturbed. He had been changed from a romping, care-free little dinosaur to the thoughtful conscientious Oscar of our acquaintance. It all came about this way: One night, while Oscar was ex- ploring some new-found canyons and gurgling in childish glee at his discoveries, he was suddenly aware that in place of the rhythmic chirping of the crickets there was another sound. Not the happy cricket sound, but an ominous sound. A harsh “A-y-e-e” that caused all the vertebrae in his spinal column to contract. What could it be? As there were no cats in those days, Oscar could not explain the weird, plaintive cry that echoed and re-echoed and bounded from rock to rock only to burst on his ears again. It was such a petulant, sobbing cry. Spleadling. So heartrending! As Oscar listened, three great tears ran down his little Sun-Kist face, forming the Great Lakes. He couldn’t stand it any longer. He just couldn’t! With one bound he cleared a mountain range, and landed in a moonlit glen. There in the center (Continued on page 150) One Hundred Forty-Eight J. M. Orman B. B.

THE SAD NARRATIVE (Coni, from page I IB) of the glen, his eyes dim with tears, sat Adam, chanting a selfish little ditty, that was entitled, “I want my rib!” All that was left for Oscar was to murmur apologetically, “Thanks for the buggy ride.”—But you know, Oscar knew, Adam knew, and I know: Adam didn’t give Oscar a buggy-ride.

There was a swish, ami he was resting nicely just a fool and a half ofT the ground. It was the year 1999 and he was reading the newest book just received by radio. As the automatic page turner kept up with his reading, he absently stroked Red, his Heinzc Terrier. Red had on a steel jacket, upon which the magnetic waves acted and held him up to the eighteen inch level, where he was frisking about. Suddenly, Red came in contact with the high tension wire of the hammock, which, with a lurch, raised to a level of seventy-five feet and started traveling with the velocity of the wind. A1 could do nothing, as he was afraid of falling if he should try to descend. Just then. AI noticed a thin-faced man riding a helium inflated balloon-tired bicycle on the same level. Al hailed him. but was terrified to discover it was no one else than the air-raider, who had terrorized many with his marauderous deeds. Instantly, Al put his hand in his pocket, where he carried his five hundred dollar Ray watch, which ran by the magnetic power of the moon. This he thought very much of as it had been given him for his bravery in carrying messages in the war with Mars in 1998. Then an idea came to him. He pulled from his pocket a thousand shot a minute gun, which he had used in the Mars war. He held it ready for action. Another minute and they would be together. The raider hove to and gruffly demanded Al’s money and watch, but Al was too quick for him and shot holes in his tires. As the raider sank past the hammock. Al snatched a parachute off the robber's back and dropped to earth. As the helium gas was slow in escaping from the tires. Al reached the ground first and covered the villain on his arrival. Then training his pistol on him with one hand, he took a pocket wireless out of his vest pocket with his other, and called the police patrol plane. When the officers arrived, they took Al and his prisoner to the station where we will leave them. The End.

Lnt sick of this town! An the reason I never have any fun with the few kids who are alive here is because I’m so darn good! Yes, Willy was too “darn” good. He missed out on the fun of the village because the “younger set” (all seven of them) considered the young Mister Bean a decided prig. Suddenly Willy’s usually solemn face brightened. He had it! He'd accept his cousin Phil’s invitation to a house party Phil was having! Now Phil lived in a distant town and sent the invitation as a matter of courtesy. Phil never thought for a minute that his prudish cousin would come a hundred miles to attend a rather wild house party. But Phil was in for a surprise. Within the next three days W illy spent all his time at “A. Goldberg’s Shoppe for Collegiate Youths. Mrs. Bean, Willy's mild little mother, was surprised and yet pleased that her quiet son had decided to visit his rich relatives. Although she was somewhat shocked at the loudness of the socks, ties, and shirts that Willy brought home, she packed his suit cases and sent him off with many words of caution regarding swimming, racing cars, wild women, and all evils in general. • • A big tear rolled down Susie Elliott's rosy cheek. She was lonesome- so lonesome. The entire village of Clarkston. where she had spent her seventeen uneventful years, was so dead. Oh! for something to do! Mrs. Elliott looked at Susie and shook her head. “Susie, dear, this is no way to begin the summer. Why don’t you accept Helen's invitation to the house party she and her brother Phil arc giving?” “But, mother! It is nearly fifty miles from Clarkston. Why, I—” “Never mind. I want you to go. A peppy group of young folks for a few weeks is what you need,” stated her mother most emphatically.

Willy merely shrugged his shoulders and laughed. He, too, was putting on a hold front. No one guessed that under his disguise he was a slow, prudish fellow who was disgusted with very “modem” people. Nevertheless, under this disguise he often shook with fear, but no one ever guessed that such a thing could be possible. He was greatly attracted to a slim goldenhaired girl.

Wicked Sheik Harem also loves Merringue, and he drives a mean camel. He hires a cowboy from Bum, Wyoming, called Sonora Slim, to kidnap Merringue for him. Sonora is a tall son of the Middle Border, who fearcth nothing. But he kidnaps the Child instead of Merringue. Trouble in large quantities follows. The camels of Sheik Harem run. All is confusion. Meanwhile a luminous son of the Fast, one Torchy, appear on the scene. The wicked Sheik plans to ask his Dad, who knows, what he shall do! But his Dad. Old Lord Chesterfield, cannot be found. Then Merringue discovers that she need glasses. She has gazed too long at the resplendent Torchy. But gentle Prince Spunky brings her a piece of smoked glass, which she is glad to use. They give thanks to all the Egyptian Deities, and stroll down the Main street of the desert. But a scream interrupts their bliss. The Child has escaped from Sheik Harem. And he leadeth the missing Camels without which Sheik Harem cannot earn his living. All are happy. The slaves break out with the pickled Herring and the Austin dog-bread. No expense is spared to have everything nice. Prince Spunky gets the girl, Shrrik Harem kisses each camel affectionately, Sonora talks it over with the King, and takes the Child back to the U. S. Torchy is made Ijord High Illuminator of the Boval Watts. Merringue shylv shows Spunky a recipe for lemon pie that has been in the family for years. Spunky knows what he is in for. but being a hero is obliged to be noble.

Moyer, Business Manager Wanda Orton, Faculty Adviser One Hundred Eiohly-Fuur ACKNOWLEDGMENTS N looking back over the work done on the 1926 Hesperian, we realize that but for the assistance and cooperation of many people who are not directly connected with the book, the Annual could not be as finished a piece of work as it is. We wish to extend to these people and to the Senior Class, our sincerest thanks for the efforts which they have put forth in our behalf. Miss Wanda Orton, our faculty adviser, through her experience with past Hesperian staffs, has been able to offer invaluable help and advice. Miss Hazel Moore, in charge of the Hesperian art work and art adviser, and Mrs. Mary Wallace, assisting her. have supervised the art work and have seen to it that the Hesperian received only the best art work of the classes. Mr. John N. Greer, principal, kept the interest in the annual alive, both in and out of the school. Mr. Thomas 1 Gruwcll, Miss Frances Frederiekson, and Miss Arline Blakely have lent valuable help with the business end of the publication. We feel indebted to the West High Weekly, for continued and lavish use of its columns in our advertising campaign. A great measure of the success of this book is due to the interest awakened by the Weekly. The Zintsmastcr Studios again acted as our photographers. They extended very satisfactory work and their service and photography were of the highest type. Merrill Holmes aided in taking some of the snaps used throughout the book, as did George Monahan. To Mr. A. A. Segal of the Bureau” we wish to extend our special thanks for his interest and suggestions in aiding us in our problems. To Mr. B. C. Kisehel and J. J. Sher we arc also very grateful. We feel particularly proud of the fine work given us by our printers, the Augsburg Publishing House. Mr. Randolph Haugan. under whose supervision the work was carried on, left nothing to be further desired in the printing. Hesperian Board.
