No, Mat didn't have his picture taken-yet. X :nc X Instead of the Rochester Exposition and Horse Show it should have been the W. H. Ex. and H. S., judging from the number of W. H. S. men and boys that worked there. Among the Horse Show's 400 there were Bob Fisher, D. Faragher, Ken Chase, Ken Loysen, Reg Westbrook and-others, too num- erous to mention. wk ak wk Gordon Cowles was the main ballast on the rear extremity of the Manitou Line car he rides on every summer. Ray Clark tried to save his father's pay-roll money and expense by driving his truck this SLlfl'll'HCl'. Pls Pk Pk Fritz NVahl and Bob Harmon were in the barber business during the summer months.

mm ,X i l I X, bex XQCIDEA gf' 4 Dawn's Rapture Waking in the early light of morning's dawn, I listened, raptured, to a lonely robin's song. 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

FF az: 1: Louise' Mason tried to keep house between house parties this summer and seemed to en- joy it. We hope the house enjoyed it as much. af Pk ak Marie Farrow spent part of her summer on house parties and part in Canada. , Pk Pk wk Betty Hellen spent part of her vacation at the lake and the rest painting. Getting the paint on correctly is quite an art. Dk lk Pk Gladys Ridgley enjoyed a much needed rest at Sodus Point and on a house party at Can- andaigua Lake. vf x Pk Avis Baker believes that staying at home is just as much fun as going away for the sum- mer. If you don't believe it, try and see. ar :of -uf They say that traveling is an education in itself. That is the kind Ruth Fagan acquired this summer thru many short trips.

Wall Street Financier .Speaks to Students of West High ' At the first assembly of the year, on Friday, September the fourteenth, the school had the privilege of hearing Cameron Beck, Personel Director of the Stock Exchange, New York City, gave a most inspiring talk. Mr. Beck is a man who started out on three dollars a week, part of which he 'spent to hear the well known Professor, John B. DeMotte. He said that he would never forget, as long as he lived, what Professor DeMotte said. VVhat you are to be you are now becoming! Mr. Beck told of a time, not long ago, when he was camping in the Rockies. He went into a crossroads store and saw a package on a shelf. He asked the price of it, bought it, put it in his pocket and went out. Again, while going through the Adirondacks, he stepped into a small store, saw another package of the same kind, bought it and went out. Here in Rochester, he saws a third package of the same kind and he purchased it because every pack- age, and every cracker in every package put out by the National Biscuit Company bears its trademark which is the trademark of an honest Workman who is not ashamed to show it to the world. So, said Mr. Beck, is your character the trademark of your soul. The words Mr. Beck left with us, in closing, were only two, but really worth while remem- bering! Carry on! Other speakers on Friday were Mr. Guggel- man, of the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Benjamin Chamberlain of Cornell, an alumnus of West High. A New Feature Beginning with this issue, the Occident will publish a series of articles, written by members of the faculty, concerning the particular hob- bies in which they have a vital interest. This month the staff' is indebted to Mr. Pultz for his exceptionally interesting article, Purify the Genesee. Read these installments and be convinced that the faculty has interests other than teach- mg.
