The happenings of the year have been largely concerned with the Seniors, who look upon that as their right. There has been an attempt to record tho-.e events as an aid to memory in years to come. These pictures and paragraphs will remind you of many delightful associations and experiences which will be cher- ished throughout life. But graduation day, marking the completion of the first great task of life is also commencement day and, as such, holds a suggestion of the future. It marks the begin- ning of another and we hope larger task even more full of pleasurable rewards. The Covered Wagon is our seal and symbol. It stands for history and is our link with the past, but it also suggests the spirit of hardihood and adventure with which we all ought to undertake the duties that lie before us. We are proud of our history but our hope is in the future. ' •While Looking barknmni we are Thinking forward.

Many have answered the challenging call, With courage and honest will, But the pioneer was the greatest of them, And we pay him honor still. This man, with his covered wagon. His oxen and his tools, Conquered obstacles unforeseen, While many shouted Fools. Such a hero of effort and faith Is a beacon to eveiyone. Leading him onward by its light To finish tasks begun. So courage to follow is in us all As we struggle in life ' s press, Meeting each hardship valiantly While we journey toward success.

Slim Hi-Y : Latin Club ; THE OCCIDENT SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Swan, a charming play, was presented by the Class of 1931 in the auditorium on the evenings of April 30 and May 1. It is the story of a romance between Prince Albert (Merrill Thompson) and Princess Alexandra (Irene Johnson) in which the tutor of her brothers, Nickolas Agi (Joe Hutchison) affords the com- plication. Queen Beatrice (Anabel Breese) has one great ambition — for her daughter Alexandra to marry a prince and secure for herself a throne. It happens that Prince Albert pays a visit to the palace. Queen Beatrice, doing everything in her power to bring her daughter and Albert together, plans a reception in honor of the prince. She per- suades Alexandra to invite the tutor who, although surprised to re- ceive such an invitation, gladly accepts. The mother ' s plan is for Agi to play up to Alexandra — he is to tell her of the stars and of the moon — to dance with her. All this he does in a natural and charming way, because while living in the family he has learned to care for her. Prince Albert, as was intended, notices the attention the princess pays the tutor and immediately desires to win her affections for himself. Agi finally wakes up to the fact that the queen is using him as a tool to accomplish her purpose. Alexandi ' a, knowing that she loves the tutor but also knowing THE OCCIDENT it is impossible for her to marry him, in order to retain his respect for her, confesses everything to him. He is stunned, but assuming again the role of tutor, he tries to forget and prepares at once for departure. It remains for the prince to declare his love for Alexandra who, though con.senting, gives him only friendship instead of love. Through the kindly offices of his mother. Queen Dominica (Anna Roe.se) and Alexandra ' s uncle. Father Hyacinth (Don Craig), arrangements for the marriage are completed. Princess Symphrosa (Vivian Burris) added humor to the play with her nervous manner and her continual weeping. Others in the cast were Alexandra ' s brothers, Prince George (Jack Miles) and Prince Arsene (Gene Bice). The ladies in waiting were Countess Erdly (Ethelbelle Kelly) and Countess Elise (Mary Randall). Other char- acters were Count Wun- derlick (Sam Alford), Count Lutzen (Dick Downijng) , a na a i d (Catherine Reinhart). initlers (Bob Larkins and George Owens), the hussars (NN ' illiam Boye and Herbert Howard), the lackeys (Ray Wills and Charles Paugh). The second scene with its ball room dancing was delight- ful. Two musical numbers by members of the cast and Bennie Haynie and a specialty dance by Louise Byerly a n (1 George Hains- woith added to the pleasure of the guests and the audience. The orchestra, con- ducted by Mr. Hutch- inson, and the Rhythm Rangers, who played for the ball r o o m scene, performed mar- velously well. Miss Grain and Mr. Campbell almost excelled themselves in the splendor (7f furnishings and costumes. Mr. Montgomery had charge of lighting. Miss Kern anti Miss Flynn took care of the finances, while Mr. Neeb was re.sponsible for the ticket office and ushers. Miss Harrington .secured ade |uate publicity for the play in tlie city papers. THE OCCIDENT Associated with these members of the faculty were groups of students worlting under their direction. The arduous hours given by the stage hands warrant a mention of their names — Gene Constans, Paul Roberts, Bob Tharp, Raymond Anderson, Elmer Smith, Edward Fox, Fred Perkins and Woodrow Link. Katherine Goldhardt and Martha L. Weiss deserve mention for their faithful performance of the numerous tasks assigned to them. Taking it all in all many people contributed to the success of the play and to each the thanks of the class are given in unstinted measure. IN THE GREEN ROOM The Swan is a ducky play but at dress rehearsal it was rather goosey and might have become an ugly duckling, had not the genius of Mr. Leahy shown the cast how to act their parts. The life of a dramatics coach is one tragic moment after another, if he wants to take it that way. Papa Leahy assumed the role of press agent, salesman and what not. At first, the ticket sale was not progressing worth a snap. In his plea for an audience he said at least two rows in the balcony would be filled from the show of hands. The idea! We believe we ' ll have to supply the poor fellow with a brace of Colts to force tickets on his victims. And so progresseth life for the blest. To ramble on, I remember on the day the rotogravure pictures were taken, Sullivans had forgotten to send Caesar ' s (George Owen) costume. Ambitious George borrowed a car and, chasing everybody and everything, nicked a few curbstones, but got his co.stume and was ready to be shot very near the appointed time. Frequently Mr. Leahy took the part of an absentee. And what a prince, princess or tutor he did make ! Of the way he carried the role of the naughty young princess, I ' ll say no more. Poor Don Craig had a horrid time with a voice that did not carry well, and his dilficulty in getting used to a clerical habit. When he failed to make the .study room understand his lines, Mr. Leahy told him to stop talking down his shirt front. Oh, yes, and did you notice how well Don sat in his long robes? Well, he was told by Coach Leahy that if he (Mr. Leahy) looked like that when he sat in a Trig class he wished some one would hit him with six dozen superhiliated eggs, meaning over ripe or somepin. Now you all can get reven ge if you ever take trig. But he has a good heart. Tired of my chatter? Well, just the same, the Swan certainly was a beauty and the cast was great, but most of all I want to stress the question, What could we do if our dramatics coach was without a sense of humor? THE OCCIDENT NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Arnold Fink, President Betty Rustemeyer. Secretary Twenty-seven from the upper third of the Senior class were selected to membership in the Otto H.

Gracebelle Day Vice President.. Norman Broadway Treasurer Mary Allison The Student Council is composed of students who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership and proper attitude toward school life. The mem- bers are elected at the beginning of each school year by the respective registration rooms. The work of the Council is accomplished through committees. The Athletic Committee sold season tickets for all athletic contests. The En- tertainment and Publicity Committee took charge of the sale of Operetta, Mid-Winter Frolic and Class Play tickets. The Activities Committee com- piled a list of registered clubs and was responsible for the early organiza- tion of the Junior Class. The Auditorium Committee promoted programs for the assemblies on Tuesdays. The Building Patrol Committee had charge of the monitor sys- tem and kept the halls and drinking fountains clean. The Art League Committee promoted the beautification of the building and grounds through the collection of dues once each month. The Publications Committee supervised the subscriptions for the Occident and Annual. The Scholarship Committee sponsored the reorgan- ization of the L Society. The Officers and Committees co-operated in making the past year a successful one for the Council in the government of the school. A great deal of credit for this success is due to the faculty advisors, Mr. Neeb and Miss Kern. THE OCCIDENT BAND Ui EKETTA 5U THE OCCIDENT MUSIC The music department has shown remarkable development in the past year. West has now not only the regular high school military band and orchestra, but an entirely new nine-piece dance band, The Rhythm Ran- gers. A student body without a band would be in a sad perdicament indeed. Nothing could replace the band music which instilled so much pep into the football games last fall. New members were added from time to time throughout the year and as only a few will graduate in ' 31, the organiza- tion is expected to be of even greater service to the school. The annual hand concert held May 23, was heard by an appreciative audience. The orchestra, which officiated so ably at the operetta, also has shown great improvement. The Rhythm Rangers made their first public appearance in the mid- winter Frolic which was sponsored by the music and dramatics depart- ments. The members of the dance band were as follows: Trombone, Wil- liam Lee; trumpet, Sheldon Kline and Tommy Stoner; saxophone. Arnold Fink, Leon Fenstermacher and Robert Fine : drums, Donald Johnson ; banjo, Herbert Murphy; piano, James McCullum. There were several other outstanding musical organizations this year, including the Senior Boys ' Quartet; the Junior and Senior Girls ' Trios; and the Senior Girls ' Glee Club. The music class is recognized as one of the most progressive of our organizations, this year. There were lectures each week on the apprecia- tion of American music that were made interesting with the addition of phonograph records and the stereopticon. OPERETTA Riding Down the Sky, an operetta in Latin-America, was presented by the Music and Dramatics Departments in the Auditorium December 4 and 5. Joe Hutchison, as a young American aviator, with Irene Johnson the first night and Bennie Haynie the second playing Carmelita, a beautiful princess, took the leads convincingly. Audrey Evans as Rosa, Carmelita ' s guardian, played opposite William Lee, who was Don Jose, an elderly suitor for Carmelita ' s hand. Mary Allison was Pepita, a young Del Monican flapper, who, with Sam Alford, a Marine sergeant, furnished the comic situations. Merrill Thompson, a fiery revolutionist and Robeil Nichols, the president ' s con- spiring bodyguard were the villians. Catherine Maupin was the revolu- tionist ' s wife; William Southwoi ' th, the president; James Rawlins, the airplane mechanic and William Brownfield, the millionaire oil man from America. They all displayed talent of a high order. Gracebelle Day, mistress of ceremonies, gave a superb display of dancing. In the fall festival scene she presented Sally McWilliams, Mary Connor, Valeda Gugger. with James Rawlins, Margie Backus, and a group of ten girls in different types of dancing taught by Jack Sherick, a grad- uate of 1930. Audrey Evans and Helen Richter played accordions, and Prospero Gianvito the harmonica. There was a chorus of boys and girls in native costumes, who fur- nished a realistic background for the principles. THE OCCIDENT LIBRARY COUNCILORS President Edith Myers Secretary Vircinia Hamilton Reorganized under their new constitution, the Library Councilors this year became an approved ckib. Committees weie foi-med to carry on the various departments of library work and a I ' egular time was set for meet- ings. It is now a rule that no one is eligible to be a Councilor who has not had library training — Junior high students who have other (|ualifications are admitted to the training classes, which meet once a week. They also must spend some time in the librai-y, putting into practice the rules which they have learned in class. As soon as they enter Senior High and com- plete their training course, they are entitled to become active Councilors. The regular Councilors give as many periods as ])ossible to the libi-ary. They spend theii- time either mending, shelving, shellacing or charging books, and to a certain extent, answering the (luestions of the students when the librarian is busy. There are ahso some commercial students in the group who perform other duties, such as typing bibliographies and l)ook cards and taking letters for the librarian. With their work they also have some pleasure, planning one, or two, social gathei ' ings duiing the yeai-. This year ' s outstanding event was the (Christmas paity in which the novel idea of exchanging white elephants was introduced. Under Miss Smith they ai ' e making more plans for next year which should make the organization more effective. . ' )! THE OCCIDENT LATIN CLUB Consul. Olive Grimm Praetor.... Norman Broadway Qimestor — WILLIAM BOYE Aedile Madge Markins The largest membership in seven years was the boast of the Latin Club of 1931. When first organized by Miss Kern, it had only a few members, but this year, there were 125 enrolled. A new method of planning and presenting the programs was intro- duced. Each class eligible sponsoied one monthly meeting, using any type of program desired. The working out of this idea gave varied pro- grams which included reports on the lives of Virgil and Cicero, playlets, slides and talks on the familiar sights of Rome. An attempt was made to have each program in keeping with some Roman event which took place in that month. One of the outstanding playlets, was that depicting A Day in a Ro- man School, given in costume by Miss Jones ' seventh period 12B class. A bust of Caesar was added to the collection of statuary in the Latin room by this year ' s club. The class of ' 30 purchased a bust of Virgil which was not placed in the room until the fall semester of the present year. The club has been enabled during the past few years to purchase several pieces for the Latin room, through the dues, together with the profits of popcorn sales, which were conducted once a month. The club this year was under the supervision of both Miss Jones and Miss Kern. THE OCCIDENT r.x J - i i it ART CLUB ALPHA OMICRON DKLTA 58 BB THE OCCIDENT ART CLUB President Howard Wellman Vice President Charles Taylor Secretary Leo Farran Treasurer . Laura Distelhorst The Art Club of West High was newly organized this year. It is made up of the Art Ad and Smock Clubs of former years. The club held its first meeting January 13, in the Senior High Art room when a consti- tution and reorganization plans were discussed and agreed upon. At the second meeting, held January 10, the officers were elected. At present there are about fifty-one members. Only those belonging to Mr. Campbell ' s art classes are eligible. The purpose of the organization i? to develop an appreciation of the fine arts. The members of the club visited the new art gallery on the day after it was opened. On January 20, the Arts Club had charge of the assembly and pre- sented for its speaker Karl Bolander, director of the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts. Mr. Bolander gave an interesting talk which was of special interest to the pupils. He showed many practical applications of art to our own lives. The stage was decorated with the work of the various art classes. There were large works such as the A. I. U. Citadel and the Chrysler building and many small pieces were exhibited. The girls in the Gesso classes had an array of decorated jewel boxes, magazine racks and tele- phone stands with very clever designs and attractive colors. ALPHA OMICRON DELTA Chief Draftsman Melvin GiRBERT Designer Adolph Lustnauer First Tracer Glenn Shaffer Second Tracer Kelly Wills Awards, given this year for pupils participating in last year ' s draft- ing contest, were won by Melvin Girbert and Adolph Lustnauer. Melvin won first place in the city finals in the junior machine drawing and second place in senior architectural drawing. This enabled him to have his name engraved on a silver plaque, which is in the possession of the drafting department. Eleven new members have been added to the club during the year. In order to be eligible for the club the student must have a drafting grade of G4- or above, satisfactory grades in other subjects and have completed a special drafting project. THE OCCIDENT L SOCIETY President.. ... William Boye Vice President Leon Fenstermacher Secretary Vivian Burris Treasurer Ruth Marlowe The L Society was reorgfanized this year, having been inactive for some time. The programs wei ' e arranged with si ecial attention to a variety of literary work, and a desire to create a love for good literatui-e. At the April meeting the newly elected members were guests of the club. After the address of welcome by the President, a junior member responded. Two very interesting travel talks were presented to the L, one in Uecembei ' , when Miss Mickey talked on her visit in New England, and Miss Burns told of her delightful trip in Spain at the February meeting. The May party, held in the auditorium was a delightful affair. The music was furnished by the West High Rhythm Rangers. Following the example of the Latin Club, the L is appropriating a sum of money to be used to buy a gift for the school. The membership numbers 170, which is the largest in the history of the club. (U) ■a. 1,ik i THE OCCIDENT THE OCCIDENT ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Witli sonic additions to replace the loss of retired faculty members, the athletic committee has functioned nobly again this year. Mr. Marquand still acts as chairman; Mr. Montgomery as secretary, and Mr. Cole as treasurer. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Michel are the other members. One unit of a permanent stadium, thanks to their hard work and enthusiasm, has become a reality. Two substantial payments have been made upon it without any one individual or organization feeling too much the burden of them. Student interest has betn maintained on the fmancial side of athletics. A smoothly working machine for selling and delivering season tickets has been developed in the Student Council. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS COACH WISE Athletic Director Harold E. Wise is finishing his second year at West. Since his coming to the school, the teams have constantly improved and the lagging school spirit has revived until now the entire student body .stands sciuarely behind the coach and the teams in their en- deavors. Each season presents a new need, this year with the growing interest there was a demand for an ade- quate and comfortable seating for the spectators. Through the efforts of the Athletic Committee and the coach this need was met by our new stadium. Coach Wise has charge of Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Due to the growth of the school, there was work for an additional coach, and Mr. Buchanan was add- ed to the staff this year. He is a graduate of Ohio University, as is Coach Wise. He has charge of track and minor sports, swimming and wre.stling. He is a very competent coach, as his previous record proves. His sympathetic and understanding at- titucle toward the boys under him makes them eager to follow his instructions. Although the teams have not won consistently this year, they have improved and much may be expected of them in the future. COACH BUCHANAN THE OCCIDENT FOOTBALL Football practice was begun September 8 with a squad of about fifty boys reporting to Coach Wise for the initial workout. Eight letter men, Blackburn, England, Follmer, R. Johnson, Knisely, Schmidt, R. Wills and W. Wills reported and with these as a nucleus West developed rapidly. The Cowboys downed Logan 62-7 to start the season. Chillicothe was subdued 21-0 in the second out-of-town game. The city league race was opened with a 15-0 win over East. Central broke the three game winning streak by taking a 7-0 decision in a night game. The Red and Black (1931 city champs) was the only city league team to score on West during the season. Newark finished on the long end of a 13-7 score for the only other defeat chalked up against West. The annual battle with South ended in a 0-0 deadlock. The Buff and Brown again hit their stride against Jackson garnering three touchdowns and an extra point, while holding the out of town players scoreless. West defeated Aquinas 26-0 Thanksgiving morning and then wound up the season in a blaze of gloiy by humbling North 13-0 and thereby finishing with South in a tie for second place. Six members of West ' s 1931 machine were placed on the mythical all high team. Honorary Captain Ray Wills was chosen as quarterback by all three downtown newspapers and was the only one to receive this distinction although Deshler, Knisely, R. Johnson, W. Wills and Schmidt gained the honor of being named on a second team. In addition Deshler and Knisely rated first team positions on two papers. Captain Wills received two football letters, one for the 1929 and one for the 1930 season. Charles Redman was awarded the Senior managers letter and Bill Coon was given a cheer leader ' s award. Additional letters we)-e granted to W. Wills, Schmidt, Starkey, Foll- mer, Knisely, Stettler, Rogers, H. Johnson, R. Johnson, Deshler, Eng- land, Nicklaus, Casey, McCollum. Of this number R. Wills. Follmer, Knisely, Stettler, and Deshler will be lost by graduation. THE OCCIDENT BASKETBALL Prospects for a winning basketball team looked bright this year with Deshler, Davis, Follmer and W. Wills, letter men fi ' om last year, back and Blackburn, Cole, Knisely, Mason. Myers, Schmidt and Witting, re- serve lettermen. Because of the prolongation of the gridiro n season West had little practice before the Wellston game. Nevertheless they ran up a 28-17 score. Following up their advantage, they beat Newark in a two-overtime period game 21-17. The Cowboys were handed a last minute defeat by Zanesville 20-19, to conclude the pre-.season schedule. The Buff and Brown baskcteers started like champions in the city league, winning IVom Aquinas . 52-19 and fi ' om Kast 18-17. The team then lost two games in succession. Central beat We.st 26-19 and North won 45-33. South dropped a thriller to the Hilltoppers 29-28 and ended the first round. The Alumni were turned back 3(i-21 and Aquinas was again beaten, this time 38-22. East stopped the Cowboys 34-24. West then lost three more in a row to fini.sh the citv league jirogram. Central won 32-19. North 28-25, and South 21-19. Delawai-e High exteiidt ' d this losing streak to live by winning a po.st season contest on Edward ' s gym 2(i-19. West pulled a surprise in the Delaware Tournament by defeating Lancaster 32-17, but Delaware High again beat West 27-19. This victoi-y eliminated them from the tournament and made them finish the season with an equal num ' oer of victorii ' s and defeats. Honorary Cai)tain Davis and Schmidt were named on the second team all high as a result of their jilaying. F ' irst team basketball letteis were given Captain Davis, K. Wills, W. Wills, Schmidt, Casey, Myers and Mai ' shall. Jack Miles received the senior manager award. Coach lUichanan ' s I ' eserve team didn ' t fare (|uit ' so well, winning only 2 games in 12 stai ' ts. Curriei ' , Witting, Mason, Dye, Van Scoy. Nicklaus and Cole were pre- sented reserve letters. 64 THE OCCIDENT BASEBALL Fourteen players who had been out for baseball last year reported to Coach Wise when he called for candidates this spring. Since all the other schools in the city league lost heavily from graduation, West has bright prospects for a successful season. West won its first city league game from Acjuinas 9 to 7, scoring seven runs in the third inning; however the team lost a closely contested battle with South 4 to 3 which was its first city league defeat. This encounter was not decided until the ninth inning when, with the score tied, a South player hit a home run to right field. At this writing, altho they have lost a game. West has not yet been eliminated from championship consideration as the schedule for this year requires each school to play every other school once, then the three leading teams will play another round among themselves and the total percentages will determine the final league standing The players who will be graduated this June and next mid-year are George Blackburn, second baseman ; Floyd Fischer, outfielder ; Roy Riggs, outfielder ; Roger Mason, third baseman ; Jack Miles, outfielder ; Robert Witting, first baseman ; and George Owen, utility. These players will be missed greatly as several of them have rendered valuable service to the team. TENNIS This makes the second year in which West has competed with other schools in tennis, under the direction and coaching of Mr. Montgomery. A representative team, consisting of Hippie, Lee, Jones, Fox, Bice, and either Newlon or S. Kline, as sixth man, was developed ' through a process of elimination with forty players in the original bracket. THE OCCIDENT TRACK Track, under direction of Mr. Buclianan, has been made a major sport tliis year, foi- which the deserving athletes will receive a major letter. At the present time, West i s handicapped from lack of a running track but in spite of this, twenty-three boys are working out daily. Of the group, Hedrick will be lost by graduation and Sohl and Mar- shall will become ineligible at next mid-year. In West ' s first track meet which was held at South High School, the Bulldogs were victors by the score of 72-49. Marshall was the Cowboy ' s high scorer with 12 points to his credit. Coach Buchanan ' s boys then went to Newark where they participated in a triangulai- meet with Urichsville and Newark. Urichsville won the meet with 77 points, Newark garnered 7(i, while West scoi-ed (iO. i IcCol- lum led the Cowboy attack with 8V-i points. In the third meet of the year West was victoi ' ious over Noilh, 56-50. Rain and mud forced the abandonment of the pole vault and the b ' oad jumps. Marshall was once more high point man, having a total of 8. At the pre.sent time the squad has four more meets and is expecting to bring more ribbons to West. SWIMMING West High ' s first swimming team was composed of Juniors and Sophomores who improxcd greatly as the season jirogressed, scoring more points in their last meet than in all the rest jiut together. Those who were actixe this year were John liatham, (ieorge Matson, Elvin Lorenz, Eugene Grubbs, Elmer Smith, (Jeorge Sohl, Glen Howell and Lawrence Nicklaus. All will be eligible next season, except Howell and Sohl, who graduate at mid-year. McClain High, Greenfield, should he congratulated upon their eft orts to p()i)ularize the sport. With the completion of several pools at Ohio State, swimming is expected to become quite popular in the city high schools. (jG THE OCCIDENT WRESTLING Special recognition should be given the wrestling squad, as it was through their efforts that West has received the only trophy awarded her so far this season. Of the fifteen boys who practiced faithfully for two months under the coaching of Mr. Bateman, George Mick, a Senior, won the city cham- pionship in the 14. lb. division, gaining the trophy for his school. William Stettler also 31 was defeated in the finals, after having won his first round match. GOLF West High school has placed a golf team in the field this year under the direction of Mr. Wise. The first team of the kind that West has had since moving into the new building, is composed of five boys, all undercla is- men who rank in ability as follows : Prospero Gianvito, Mike Melfi, John Stark, Dave Brannigan and Robert McNabb. The squad has engaged in two matches to date, winning from South 7 to 5, but losing to East 10 to 2, after a tie match with them had bsen plaved. MANAGERS CHEER-LEADERS A vote of appreciation should be given to West High ' s cheerleaders and managers for the faithful and patient work that each performed. Those who led the cheers during basketball and football seasons were Bill Coon, Elmore Price, and Charles Paugh. The managers performed their tasks with an interest that only hard working, faithful boys could do. Charles Redmond was the head mana- ger for football with Paul Myers and Orville Smith as his assistants. Basketball managers included Martin Sharp, and Kenneth Morris, with Jack Miles as their chief. In baseball James Wagner was head manager with Orville Smith, and Paul Gathers able assistants. The two track managers were Inglis Miller, and Pierce Snyder. THE OCCIDENT EDITORIALS ANNUAL BOARD REDUCED With the development of the school, there comes an occasional change in organization, which takes place in the interest of elficiency. The idea of an Annual Board has been continued from last year, but the former one was so unwieldy that it has been reduced to six working members. The Editor-in-Chief with his associate, the business manager and an assistant have acted for the two journalism classes, while the class president and secretary have represented those under whose auspices the publishing of an Annual has been undertaken. Though thei-e has been in every case a full discussion before the vote was taken, the final decision upon all matters has i-ested with them. FORMER POLICY CONTINUED The student organizations as a whole have been more active than in any previous year. The announced policy of the Annual not to place on its eligible list tho.se that had failed to function has been at least one factor in producing a more lively group of activities. Most departments of the school now support a volunteer club whose purpose is to foster the interest of the student in the subject and to enlarge his field of vision. We trust it may become a fixed policy of the board to honor only those student groups that have functioned regularly and pi-omoted in some active way the wellbeing of the school. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT Each year new panels must be made for mounting the Senior pictures. Francis Erlenwein llA has the credit of designing the mo.st satisfactory W that has yet been created for these panels. Our thanks are due him for woi ' k that was not in his course and done outside of school time. A dozen members of the 10th year drafting class generou.sly laid out the panels for mounting. OUR ADVERTISERS Without their generous support, the issuing of an Annual and a school paper would be impossible. We, as a school, owe them a great debt but it is only as individuals that we can discharge that obligation. When ever you can, patronize them and say that you appreciate what they ai ' e doing for West High School. LIST OF ADVERTISERS ARNOLD ' S PHARMACY AWANDA STUDIOS BAKER ART GALLERY BARNETT REALTY CO.

Hi, diddle, diddle, The horns and the fiddles, Were Reaching for the Moon — The whole school clapped To see such a sport. But the band quit playing too soon. Ike, be nimble, Ike, be quick, Ike scored with a beautiful kick. I had a little Math book. They called it Alge-bray. I lent it to a student, To take to class one day. He ripped it, he tore it. He dropped it on the floor. I would not lend my Math book now. No, never, never more ! Haughty, haughty seniors. Whither do you wander? Upstairs, downstairs, Many in our number There we met a monitor Who would not let us pass. We merely stopped and laughed at him, Then went on to our class. Three class cutters. Three class cutters, See how they run. See how they run. They ran down the hall, all in a flutter. When they met a teacher, they began to splutter. Three class cutters. Sleep, students, sleep, The Virgil is too deep. The teacher is telling what Aeneas did see, But what does that matter to you or to me? So let ' s sleep, students, sleep. When I was a freshman, I studied all the time. When I was a sophomore, I rested my little mind. When I was a junior, I studied hard, again. When I was a senior — I took life easy, then. Don Craig could eat no fat, Wayne could eat no lean, So between them both, you see. They licked the platter clean.

THE OCCIDENT WHO ' S WHO AT WEST Jack Miles deserves our heartiest praise — For he with smiles and winning ways Has won the hearts of girls and boys — So may his life be filled with joys. William and Mary and Madge, we know Have never brought our class to woe, As officers their work was com- plete ; They too, in life will be hard to beat. There ' s Ricket who ' s been the Oc- cident boss. When he leaves, the school will suffer a loss. For in all his work, he did his best, And has proved that he can stand the test. Both Marys and EUwood and Ar- nold, too. Helped make each Occident seem quite new. For many times they stayed after school — And now Miss Burns thinks each a jewel. Bob Scully made the Occident pay By spending much time ' mo.st ev- ery day Selling papers and ads he gave his best — He did it all for dear old West. Dick Downing, Florence and Ethelbelle, Did their parts exceptionally well. Their help made the Occident pay this year. So that no deficit did appear. We must not forget Floyd Fisch- er, the one Who led the Council through work and fun ; His results were fine, his reward will be won In the joy that comes from work well done. Mary Allison and Gracebelle Day Performed their duty in evei-y way, They, in the Council, did their part. Helping the school from the very start. There ' s Vivian, too, who led the Reserves, May she find the joy she truly de- serves. In membership drives and hobby groups, too. She saw to it that the work fairly flew. The Annabelles, Martha and Ol- ive Grimm Were Girl Reserves, who with much vim, Planned programs and helped in every way To make the club what it is to- day. Thompson and Willbarger in the Hi-Y Helped make the club ever up- ward fly To heights unknown, making this year The best the group has ever had here. Nor can we forget how Annabel Did the tale of the Constitution tell- How Humpity-Dumpity had a great fall From our country ' s invincible wall.

A LITERARY RECIPE Here I sit with wearied brain, To write some verse I try in vain ; For says Miss Burns, our teacher dear, The annual must soon appear. Rhythm comes first, or so I ' m told, Then comes the end-rhvme, ages old. So, juggling words, I jot these down, An adjective adverb and noun. I needs must read of Aleck Pope, Who tells us how to get the dope. And soon, out of it all, you see, A poem wi ' itten by jioor me. ABOVE I RICE In our book of memories Let us put this thought. That the school friends we ha c won Can be neither sold nor bought. THE OCCIDENT SENIORS, DEAR SENIORS I O seniors! Dear seniors! Our fear- ful year is done.

Editor ' s Note: Do not read this article a.s it as printed by mis- take. Riding home on a street car yesterday we walked into Mr. Magly running down the stairs chasing a flying walrus that was attempting to .steal his pickup. Upon further inquiry we found that the walrus was not a walrus but a horse. (Imagine us getting a walrus and an equine mixed.) Anyway, it seems that Mr. Magly could not get his car going. The horse being the last near it was accused of absorbing the pickup. The poor blind fellow on seeing he was chased and knowing some- thing was amiss attempted to run away by quietly munching grass in the middle of Powell avenue. Mr. Magly despairingly gave up the chase and the pickup was lost ? ? ! ! : The day after yesterday Mr. Magly heard a peculiar noise which did not make a sound un- STAR BRAND SHOES ARE BETTER THE DAVIS STORES Shoes, Hats, Haberdashery Ready-to-Wear for Women and Children RA. 15.30—1250 W.

These baffling phenomena have withstood the ages and the elements because of the engineering genius, the patient workmanship, the boundless wealth that created them. Today man believes in another kind of perma- nence. Today an institution endures because of its ideals, because of its desire and capacity to serve. The Hilltop Business Men ' s Association is such an institution. For many years it has been working in the direction of a better community. Present plans continue to call attention to the future.
