Because my friends will not, as a rule, stand for this sort of thing, I must inflict it on my reader. As to briar pipes. If one visits the editorial rooms of a modern newspaper, the great things you will notice are the pipes. At any time, day or night, if there are reporters, columnists or such in sight, they will be smoking pipes. Of course typewriters are a necessity but a great many people can write their stuff out just as easily and with a great deal less bother. But of course it's part of the outfit. Now why in thunder is a pair of horn- rimmed spectacles necessary to success in the world of journalism? They usually make the wearer look not wise but often foolish. The more foolish the wearer the thicker the rims, as a rule, and the thicker the rims the more foolish is the look imparted. However, I know some people will disagree with me about this. Everyone to his taste. If, however, it is thought necessary for literary perfection to get a supply of briar pipes, -typewriters and specs, by all means let the Students Association buy a supply and fit out all members of the Occident staff. We must have perfection!!! Off to College Among our girls who have left W'est High are Marjorie Costello, who is attending Gard- ner Hall, and Jeanette Hillhouse, who is at the Montessori School, both of New York City. Dorothy Henry has gone off to the land of Canucks. She is at Branksome Hall, Tor- onto. Elizabeth Herrick is studying at Mechanics Institute, and among the others who are remaining nearer us, are Zoe Emery, Margaret Simms, and Helen Whipple, who are at the U. of R., and Virginia Morse, at the City Normal School. Eleanor Kemp has gone to Nashville. Faculty on Vacation This summer, West High was represented in the Old Country by several members of the faculty who, taking a steamer rug under one arm and.a crate of lemons under the other, assumed the delightful role of tourists for two and five-tenths months. V Miss Halsted, one of the globe trotters, traveling with Clarkls expedition, visited France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, England and Scotland and took a thirty day trip through the Alps. Miss Halsted became very proficient in scaling the snowy peaks as did Miss Allis who was present at the celebra- tion 'of the Swiss Independence Day. Many of the faculty spent their vacation in the vicinity of Lake Ontario. Miss Huff en- joyed her vacation on Ojibway Island, Georgian Bay and Mr. Pultz lished-and re- clined in the wonderful atmosphere of Lake of Bays, Muskoka. Mr. H. A. Carpenter stayed at his camp in the woods. Taking the real estate slogan to heart, he built his own lodge and attached a chimney which is a strict anti-tobacconist. . Mr. Lee McEwan and Mr. P. A. Carpenter, unable to separate themselves from scholastic- ties, corrected Regents Papers at Albany. Mr. Sauer, craving excitement, cranked his Hiv- ver and spent the summer backing down mountains in the Adirondacks. Mr. Spinning was with Mr. T ichenor and Mr. L. G. Smith at Algonquin Park, Ontario. After teaching six hours every day, he has returned to West High to rest up. Mr. Fulcomer toured with a Chautauqua through the New England states. The com- pany presented a popular play called, Crossed IVires. I We hear that Mr. Fulcomer had an import- ant part as one of the wires. No more accidents, no more booze No more split rails, lives to lose l So sang Bill Whaleyand Longnecker when the school term started. Where did they learn it? At the General Railway Signal Works, of course.

Patches of sky, soft-tinted, rosy, 'mong the leaves, Dissolving shadows fading from the treesg The sound of wavelets creeping on the shore To break and die-alasl to creep no moreg All living things in sweet accord with those above, When slowly, surely, my great liking turned to love. -Dorthea Douglas. Attending the Church of President Coolidge I We arrived at the First Congregational- Church late, as was or usual custom, and found that all the pews were filled. The usher then led us down the long, velvet-carpeted aisle to the front of the church and up the winding stairway that led fromnthe choir loft to the balcony. At the head of these stairs he motioned us to be seated. From our stairway pew we could see all over the church and the most careless observer could not fail to see us. Suddenly I remembered that I had come to church to see the President, so I began at the front of the church and looked at each man. VVhen I reached the-third room, I saw seated on the end a small man with dust colored hair, Whom I recognized to be the President. As I had seen Vice-President Coolidge many times in the Senate Chamber seated in his huge chair, presiding over the Senate, I found that he looke dquite different as the President of the United States, wearing a frock coat and being watched by Secret Service men seated all along the aisle. President Coolidge seemed very restless, for he occupied his time by looking over all the congregation. When his gaze reached the balcony, I felt sure he saw our party, for he looked in our direction. When the congrega- tion sang, Mrs. Coolidge sang as vigorously as anyone else, but the President did not sing at all. A , Our New Oflieers Declare Themselves Horace Bump,' Howard, President: As the ne-wly elected officers of the West High Student Association we pledge ourselves to the fulfilment of all our duties with the greatest diligence and to the best of our ability in a way to reflect credit upon the School. I As for you who have elected us, your re- sponsibility does not now endg it rather begins. Your greatest obligation is to give us a vigor- ous support in every undertaking. Let us work together for the good of the school, and make this year one of its best in every line of student activity. Emma Otto, Vice-President I appreciate the honor of holding the office of vice-president of the Students' Association and, with the co-operation of the student body, I'll do all in my power to make West High a real live school. E Mat Jackson, Secretary It is with all eagerness that I will take up my duties in my new office, and I certainly appreciate the election and will do all that I can to justify your selection. John Coco Grizangio, Cheer Leader VVith yelling help of the student body, I will do my part to give the school the best cheering it ever has had. Letls go! Coco. The Assembly Program In a letter to the Occident a student sug- gests that, if announcements are to receive full attention and consideration, they precede the remainder of the program. The Occident thinks this proposal well worth considering. At a meeting of the Executive Council, Bill Longnecker was elected manager of this year's team. Bill was an assistant of last year, and worked hard for the success of the team, and we wish him all the success in the world on this new job. I
