XX i l ' f, f QXQCIDEM-1' 4 We Wonder lf a day will pass when nobody is late. If Packy McFarland can tell the girls how to marcel their hair. VVhen Louise Mason is seen alone. VVhy Bump Howard arrives at school so early! How Teddy Dimon Keeps the school- girl complexionf, . VVhy Ed Loysen can't find a desk large enough in Room 221. VVhy Emma Otto aims so high. 'Some people are so dumb they think danc- ing King is a foot ruler. ' Curses That Count Damns have had their dayll' cried Bob Acres a century and a half ago, but despite his optimistic efforts at reform, the damns are still with us as thick as Fords at a county fair. There is no meaning in the common oaths-nothing but their antiquity makes them respectable. The ordinary oath is in the same class as common slang. Even a college professor of English does not object to slang. What an- noys him is hackneyed, threadbare, overworked slang. You are not the only pebble on the beach, may have been refreshing when Demosthenes contemptuously sputtered out the sharp-cornered pebble which cut his tongue and'didn't fit into his elocutionary stunt, but to use the figure today is a sign of arrested development. A high grade moron should know enough to substitute, Youyre not the only condenser in the radio, or You're not the only Tut in a tombf, So too, with curses, you're damns and Hhellsy' indicate a barren- ness of invention. . V K -Scribner's. Band Is Formed Several players from the junior high schools have joined our band so that there are now about sixty members. As finances are low, Mr. Clute is troubled about getting money for the sweaters for the new-comers. BW' fPurify the Genesee---Conlinuedl pollution of the river can be stopped and the water's purity restored. just now we are in the midst of an educa- tional enterprise looking forward to the build- ing of a greater and a finer Rochester. It would be most fitting for those men and women who are leading in planning for a university whose buildings are to overlook the river to include in their plans whatever is necessary to restore so far as is possible the natural beauty of the Genesee. The river that fiows by the Greater University and through the Greater Rochester must play a harmonious part and be really beautiful. Hereafter, the Occident will be offered to the students and faculty for one half the for- mer selling price, in other words, ,for ten cents per copy. The object of reduction is to bring the magazine within the range of every findi- vidual's pocketbook, to exclude the possibility of cost as an argument for not purchasing West High's Occident. . Because of the qualifications of those stu- dents elected for Occident composition, the student body is assured a superior magazine as regard short stories, special articles, cur- rent topics, and editorials. Because of the selection of five girls as mem- bers of the staff, the Occident is in position to gratify the desires of those whom these five represent. Lack of girl interests is no longer true. All editorials and articles of influence will be written in a style conducive' to the pros- perity and well being of all. The Occident will be managed in such a method as will give the most service to West High in the solution of her problems and the conducting of campaigns. No partiality shall be shown toward any individual or group of individuals. If an issue arises between two organizations, or individu- als, the Occident will act in the sole capacity of mediator.

My Favorite Poem It was on one Sunday morning On Friday just at noon, About the middle of September On the fourteenth day of june. The moon lay white upon the ground The snow shone in the sky It rained so hard all day that night, It splashed the water dry. ,Xi l 1 !, SSQCIDQ KD' 4 About four o'clock in December Along in the month of May, It was Saturday night on Monday About Thanksgiving Day. The day was warm and chilly, The wind was full of breeze, The flowers were full of music And the birds were full of trees. And this is just a fable The truth is all a lieg ' For how could the trees be still the leaves On the fourteenth of july? -Exchange. Little Johnny was out in the back yard shak- ing his- pet rabbit ,by the ears and yelling, Seven times seven! ,Come on now! I'll give you an earies one! Two times two l Still shaking the rabbit. Now I know the teacher was lying to us ! His father then appeared on the scene and asked, Why Johnny, what are you doing? The teacher said that rabbits were the greatest multipliers in the world, replied Johnny, and I knew she was lyin' to us. Do you stand back of every statement you make in your newspaper ? asked the timid little man. Why-er-yes, answered the country editor. Then, said the little man, holding up a notice of his death, I wish you would help me collect my life insurancef, .IEIEIEIEIIEIEE SAY rr w11'H FLOWERS ' Flowers leave nothing unsaid.
