-—•———----- A D V E R T I 1911 (■Continued from page 111) WEST HIGH BOYS ACCEPT DEFEAT. The West High Independent team will be hereafter known as Occidentals. Although refused permission to use name of WEST, the players have taken a name September that has been long and intimately associated 4 with the school. EAST PROFITS BY WEST’S MISTAKE. Since the principal and the Board of Education have united to forbid the West High Independent team the use of the name and barred them from the field; the September East team will be organized under the name ip of Orientals, and will have no connection with the school. 1912 DIPLOMAS FOR NINETEEN GRADUATES. West High School proudly presents diplomas to large class as first brood of chicks leave Mater’s wings. The proudest moment that West will, in all probability, ‘January ever know, occurred tonight when she grad- 25 uated her first class. We wonder what reflected glories she will reap from the honors to be attained by these earnest young people whose youthful fervor and dignity illumined the assembly on this momentous occasion. We trust that they will soon be our great men and women. FOURTH ANNUAL WEST HIGH DAY HELD AT CONVENTION HALL. High carnival held court at Convention hall today when West High held its annual West High Day with song and dance and e ruary booths filled with fascinating objects. An excellent idea of the fun had by all may be obtained by glancing over the features offered. The “cold drinks—coffee—chocolate—sandwich committee” had an intriguing little booth in which all sorts of sandwiches with mysterious fillings might be obtained. They catered to the he-man appetites with good black coffee and hot chocolate, for those whom training rules barred from sipping the national beverage, and for the frailer participants supplied lemonade of a most delightfully frivolous pink color. In all this booth might well be conceded the center of attraction. A close competitor for honors as favorite was the ice cream booth where delicious dainties of frozen cream were dispensed. King Cream himself sat there enthroned and bestowed his benign blessing with the aid of mem¬ bers of his court. For two weeks before the event Miss Ruth Crippen went about sweetly urging people to contribute sweet¬ meats for the confectioner’s cave. This same cave exerted a Lorelei attraction over a certain portion of the attendance; whether due to Miss Ruth or its wares is not known for certain.
