Three Occidental Track Men Enter City Championship Meet Although no West High athletes placed in the city championship track meet Saturday, September 13, thanks is due those who went out on the Genesee Valley Park track in an effort to bring back honors to the Genesee Street Institution. Q Charles Shaver, Edward Decker and Paul Rekers. all of the VVest High track team, made their appearance. Rekers placed fourth in the pole vault but that place was not taken into consideration.

,X N l ' f, f sggcinrah' 4 Five First Team Veterans Eligible for Court Team Storandt, Fumia, Brown, Katsampes, and Schroclel To Form Nucleus of Basketball Team BY HARRY MEYER If the battle-scarred Ralph Tichenor, the coach with the winning smile, recovers from the effects of the soccer season, which is now in full swing, he will soon issue a call for basketball candidates. It is hoped by each and every member of the school that Tic recovers as prospects of a crack and unusual basketball five are insight. The fact that our school was wretchedly rep- resented in basketball last season, has no effect on this yearlspossibilities. Several men who were barred from participating in the game last season, will be on hand next month for the practices. Had these men played last year, it might have been an entirely different story. Forgetting the past season, and looking over the prospects, new material, and the veterans, West High has a wonderful opportunity to be represented by a winning team. The Occidentals lost Bump Howard, one of the best guards this state has ever laid eyes on. It is going to be a long time before West High will have another man of Howard's ability. Besides him, the Orange and Black suffers the loss of Bill Darling and Russell McFarland. Darling was lost through graduation while Packy, the perfect lover and most studious of all, is handling the faculty's medicine. Tichenor will look forward to five first team veterans besides an innumerable flock of scrub team veterans. The tive first team letter men are: Paul Woodridge, center, Paul Kat- sampes and Howard Brown, guards, Robert Schroedel, Lloyd Storandt and Victor Fumia, forwards. All these men have had plenty of experience and a crack team is expected. Merton Fahy, Robert Harmon, Wesley Ash- ton, Edward Hall, Raymond Kirkpatrick, Austin Bleyler, and James Shedd compose the squad of second 'team veteran men. COOL WEATHER WILL BRING p FIRST CALL FOR WRESTLERS As soon as it is cool enough to work inthe gymnasium, Coach Hulek will issue a call for tumblers. The team is going after City Championship honors this year and by the looks of things, they have a fine chance. The mat sport is get- ting to be quite a pastime in our school, judg- ing 'from the amount of interest shown by the student body last year. Five veterans remain from last year's team, which made East High and Tech High step along to capture first honors. The latter men who returned to school are Shorty Barons of the featherweight class, joe Krank who did wonders in the 135 lb. class, Bob Knight of the 140 lb. class, Gilbert Sandholzer of the 145 lb. class, and Anthony Gentile of the 120 lb. class. The team will suffer a great loss in the heavyweight class as Art Moehlman and Horse Bishop have not returned to school. Moehlman graduated and Bishop will not re- turn to school until January. A ' The league will again operate this year with teams representing East High, West High, Tech. High, Charlotte High and Kodak High. These teams will ,meet once at week for eight weeks to decide the city high school champion- ship. It looks like a big season for the mat artists. I 0 Each one of these men will battle away at the practices to earn a place on the first team. It would not be surprising if several former second team men are seen in the first team lineup. Bobby Fisher, star fof last year's second team, islost through graduation. As is well known, West High is one of the five teams in a league,'drawn up by the Health Education Department. Besides these games, the Occidental manager, Richard Jackson, is booking some fast outofttown teams, for play on open dates. Q fFifte3.n

WEST HIGH JOUR AL VOL. III. OCTOBER, 1924 NO. 1 Our Motto-Many a high hat coversa low brow. LES MISERABLE' By Dauber Chapter I. A man sat on a wall. Walls were invented by somebody and improved upon by somebody else. The Chinese were the greatest customers of the wall factory. The man still sat on the wall. Chapter II. The sun went down. It got tired of staying up. Darkness came on. Darkness is a great shadow which arises from the earth when the sun gets underneath. The man got down from the wall. He was afraid the wall would break. It did. That's why he got down. Chapter III. He walked across the street. Streets are good things. Walk in the street and you can collect your 75c accident policy. He went into a house. He saw Marie, his sweetheart. She was kissing another man. He was shocked. Chapter IV. Marie said to him, I will marry the man who brings me a stewed lobster. Stewed lobsters are patentedg all those appearing with- out the author's signature are infringements. They will be only prosecuted. A Chapter V. Our hero was tall and handsome. All heroes are. All the girls like heroes. Some heroes like girls. This hero liked but one girl. Marie is the heroine. The other fellow is the vil- lain, The villain is dark. He has a mouse- tash. All villains have. Chapter VI. The hero faced the moon and said, I will do this even tho my life be forfeited. All heroes do this. Then he took the villain with him. Marie cried when they went. The heroine always cries. Chapter VII. They approached an inn. The villain rapped on the door. The door opened. They walked in. The villain ordered gin. The hero drank milk. The villian got intoxicated. Intoxica- tion is the state one experiences when large quantities of ethyl alcohol are blotted up. Chapter VIII. ' The hero reached in his pocket and with-' drew a block and tackle. He tied a cable around the intoxicated villian. Then he drew on a rope and turned the villian upside down. Fighting is prohibited in this stateg only pugilists can fight. They get money for it. When we fight, we get thirty days. Chapter IX. He put the villian' on his back and carried him to Marie. Marie was all dressed up. She said she was going to marry another fellow. The hero handed her the stewed lobster which he made from the villian. She spurned it. The heroine always does. Chapter X. The hero went home and put on his red flannel B. V. D's. Then he went and ate the stewed lobster. He liked to eat stewed lobster. It reminded him of his father. His father was a bootlegger. Chapter XI. The heroine came from her house on her husbandis arm. He was a very strong inang he must have been. She saw a man lying on the walk. I-le had stewed lobster sticking from his throat. He had died a noble death.. Bride sings: And at the coronerys inquest They called it suicide. Seventeevi
