On Commencement night, two members of the graduating class were each awarded u $200 scholarship. They arc now registered at the University of Nevada. With the application of the proceeds of this year's High School Circus to the scholarship fund, we feel that it has now become more than an experiment; that it is an established habit which will continue through the years. -The aim of the student body is to raise money each year through the Hi Skule Sirkus” for at least one two hundred dollar schol- arship, to be given to the most deserving graduate. A small amount is also added to the permanent fund each year, which it is hoped will eventually provide for another scholarship. In case the Sirkus nets us more than enough to provide one scholarship, as happened this year, it rests with the Scholarship committee to deter- mine whether the sum available shall be divided usually between two students, whether one scholar- sh.p of two hundred dollars and one of smaller amounts shall be given, or whether one scholarship shall be given and the remainder added to the permanent fund. The Scholarship Committee is composed of the president of the student body as chairman, two upper division students appointed by the chairman, in consultation with the principal, two members of the faculty appointed by the principal, and a member of the board of trustees. The prin- ciple upon which the appointments are made has to do with consistent scholarship, intergrity of char- acter and degree of necessity of financial aid in order to pursue further education. The scholar- ship is not awarded therefore, to one who could go to college without it, but to someone to whom it will be of real assistance in securing the first year at college, and who is well qualified in mind and character to make good use of the opportunity offered and to reflect credit upon our school. Westwood High School is justly proud of this scholarship fund for it is no small matter for a student body of less than ninety members to es- tablish and maintain such a fund. Besides aiding others it is also helping us to break away from the selfish idea which is so well expressed in the colloquialism of the school yard, after me you come first. Above all we are learning the value of united effort for the good of the community, a most important lesson in the training of the future citizen. M. R. P.

And the cool and crystal lake so far away; And the tears they dim my eyes, In spite of all that I can do, As I cuss the crooked faculty, and aay— Chorus Darn the faculty, the fish are jumping This detention’s put my fishing on the bum. Fishing season will be done. By the time I’ve served my time— Oh. gosh. I wish I wasn’t quite so dumb. Before the faculty I stood— While many charges fierce were made; My character they trampled on the floor, I was trying to explain. But they shut me up dismayed— Then they sentenced me. and threw me out the door. So here in detention hall I am waiting for the day When H. D. shall come and open wide the door; Then my heart will sing with joy. When I hear Prof. Miller say: Now get out. and don’t come back here any more.” O. C. 24 PAGE FOUR HISTORY, WILL, PROPHECY Senior Class History September, la, 1U2U, fifteen trembling fresh- iiumi entered the mujeslic portula «if Westwood High School. After two weeks, those surviving were treated as full fledged members of Westwood High School. I.ale in the year they returned their reception with a weiner feed to the rent of the school. It was a roasting affair. On September 12, 1921, twelve of these sophiati- cated ex-freshmen registered us sophomores. Well aware of their i•-ponsibillties, the incoming frosh las was duly initiated. During this year seven im'W members were welcomed to the class. On September ! . 1922, nine of last year's sopho- more ehns registered a juniors. During the year one fell by the wayside and three more joined our ranks. We royally entertained the seniors and gave them the send-off that they deserved. Only eight of th - eleven came back in September, 1928, as seniors. Throughout its entire course, this class has been loyal to the school; taking an active part in all student body affairs and in all athletics. We are leaving with the hope that we leave the school better than we found it. S. I). '24. Senior Class Will Dune and signed this 7th day of April, 1924. The class of 1924. Class Prophesy In the summer of 1924, during the war between the Zulus and the Americans over the possession of the Island of Madugaagur, I was stationed with my regiment at the little town of Sadi-Bou-Said. There 1 met one of my old schoolmates. Winifred Rod- man from Westwood, California. She had come to Africa ut the outbreak of war with the Ameri- can Red Cross and was doing relief work ut Sadi- Hou-Said. As she adminstered to my wound caused by a javelin in the hands of a Zulu warrior, she told me what the class of '24 had done and were doing. “Hans has taken up boxing and will meet Demp- sey at Selby next summer for the world’s champ- ionship. Gee, 1 would like to see that fight, she exclaimed, but I suppose I will have to mend husted ribs here for another year at least. Where’s Potts? I asked. The nurse’s face was sad as she replied: The last I heard of him he was in Turkey buying harems for the Sultan at exorbitant prices, and has twelve wives. And Stanley—I suppose he has made a name for himself in the medical world? dent of the United States and got elected and re- signed nml put George in her place, and now she is only the first lady of the land. What fools some people are. And now about yourself,” 1 naked as ] studied her frowning face which told of troubles both domestic and otherwise, what have you been do- ing since that eventful year of 1924.’’ I've been married six times.” she announced, but men are all the same. This was accom- panied with a shake of her head and said with a finality that allowed no contradiction. A moan came from a corner of the rude ward, There, I've got to beat it. She jumped up with much the same agility as when she used to fix the nondesciipt tires of the Star. “Thut guy has threatened to die for three weeks, and he might do it this time if I don't make it snappy—So long.” H. W. ’24. HE TOOK ME TO THE MOVIES ONCE The wedding bells were ringing. But their ringing was in vain, The sexton might have saved his arm. Allow me to explain. A fair young maid was standing In her wedding garments drest, And in her hand she held a ring Which had not stood the test. We, tho reverent and noble Seniors, about to withdraw our elevating influence from this respect- ed place of learning, and not wishing to leave it without any hopes for gladness, do hereby de- clare this to be our last will and testament. First, as a whole we do bequeath our respect and appreciation to our class teacher, Mrs. Graham, ami the ease with which we get in Dutch to the rest of the Student Body. Scond, to the faculty, our hopes that anolncr Senior Class as excellent as this one is, will soon develop. Individually, we bequeath to deserving students the following assets with which we are blessed: 1, Ruth Jensen, will and bequeath my famous Physics’ stare to Dorys Drake hoping it will net her as many one as it has me; my pull with the Faculty I bequeath to Shorty and Jack; my vocabul- ary to Bob Iaimson. I. Winnifred Rodman, will my surplus weight to Laura Chaffin; my typing speed to Howard Costar; my innocence to Rosemma Priest. I. Harry Wilkinson, bequeath my manly beauty to Red Muyhew; my power I give to future basket ball squads; my penmanship shall go to Einar Knut- son. I. George Chipmnn, bequeath my curly hair to Dill Corbett, my height to Monk Morrison, and my drag with the teachers to J oc Sharon. I. Stanley Davis, will and bequeath my length to Jesse Swaim. my grace to Frances Simpson, and my place on the Honor Roll to Delbert Chipman. I. Flnyd Myers, ho hereby will and bequeath my curly hair to Maryann Martin; my mccknc� to Doc Adams; my deep bass voice, pride of my heart, to Paul Kasapain. I. Hans Jacobsen, yield my place on the basket b I' team to Charley Conley; my devilishness to I-re.I Davis; my beauty to Rudolph Klotx. I. Fred Neipnth. will my punctuality to Leona Summers; my affection to the Freshman girls; my unusual marks to Elsie Steed. “Stanley.” she exclaimed in amusement. Do you mean to tell me you have never seen him?” No, I haven’t been back since ’24,” I replied. Well, no one needs to go to Westwood to see him. He’s to be shown at Sadi-Bou-Said tonight. Sadi-Bou-Said tonight!” I exclaimed in amuse- ment. “Stan in Africa?” No. I see you are as of old. fifty years behind the times,” she said with the thinly veiled sarcasm which had always been such an asset to her ir. Civics. Did you by any chance know that Rudolph Valentino had died?” Yes, I heard something about It; but what has that to do with Stanley?” Oh. nothing, only he has taken his place in the movie world.” Yea Gods! Imagine Stan as a movie star and taking Rudy’s place as «hick of filmland. Where’s Curley? Has he gone into the movies too?” Oh,! she thought a moment, what do you call those places where boys are educated? Reform schools, jails, colleges, I supplied. Yep, college, that’s it. He’s head of one of them things in Palo Alto—Stanford—that’s the name of the joint.” Well, Ruth and George—at least chose a de- cent profession, I bet. I put in; remembering Ruth’s qualities as Student Body President, and George’s industrious habits of staying after school at night to work algebra.” I II tell the world they did, and if anyone ever saw a newspaper in this hole, I could prove it to you.” Ruth was n good Student Body President, wasn’t she? she demanded. She sure was,” 1 agreed. And George used to work once in awhile. Perhaps,” I assented doubtfully. Well they-------- “They? 1 interrupted. Yes. they got married and Ruth ran for Pre.-i- Senior Horoscope I know the ring's no good, my dear, The groom elect «lid say. His blushes made his collar smoke, His eyes were turned away. His bride-to-be gazed at her beau With tear-drops in her eye, And when she heard the ring was false. The Mai«len did reply. '• u took m«- to the movies once And then you fetched me back, I asked to eat; you gave no treat; A buggy was our hack. So take your imitation ring Then go—and shut the door. You took me to the movies once. You won’t take me no more. This second part is sadder still. The young man went away: To Wop-town he went on a tear. And stayed drunk night and day. He drunk up all his fortune Then, dead broke, in «lire need. He crawled away and starved to death. Now. from his cares he’s freed From all his earthly sorrows He is free; and now the youth Is sleeping 'neath the daisies In a garden in Duluth. When his sweeth« art heard he had died. She cried herself to death. But she didn’t die from sorrow. Twas just from lack of breath. And now they're picking Shamrocks In the valley of the Moon. The youth has bought another ring And they will wed in June. S. A.

Our chief virtue is doing nothing. Hut wait perhaps, perhaps It will be possible to dig up •oiiie old hones from our Illustrious past. Ar retex Is it sale? If if� like the usual family tree there'll be. of necessity, a nerve-racking akel ton. Hut as I think or those whom our con- versation concerns I feel no qualms as to the outcome of our research work, for the class of 1926 is above all reproach. I,et ns to the graveyard go. Ah! Hones at last! U 'ou remember this one? Whut a hair- raising rumpus wheu as Frosh we first stepped into the Holy Portals of the Westwood High School. Eggs flew as thick ns hail. As we went in the old building nod to visibly brighten; it appeared to look to us to do things. We I veiled the rheerless currieulum for several weeks. With our coming a new era took place. Stu- dent Body government was fully organized and. of course, that would never have been but for as. We were SO good. SO brilliant. SO wide awake and on the ulert that the school as a whole deemed it wise to allow our ideas to take form. That famous year the Slrkus was Inaugurated for the first time so as to allow our talents full expression. Our spirits wero so exuberant, our breathing rapacity like that of Paul Banyan’s llig Blue Ox. and our physique—Miss Neill grew old. and feeble, and gray trying to give us enough exercises. We were sent to CedarviUo and Alturas to play basketball, and in that way our athletic relations were extended. A most melodious orchestra was created which brought forth to the listener harmonious tones. So you see that even our aesthetic spirits were cultivated. Since the upper classmen were gelling too old and staid and needed a good limbering up of joints, etc.—a never-to-be-forgotteu kid party was given for this purpose. At the end of the year 1921-22 we departed with tears and laments but feeling that wo had enlightened the old school enough to pay for all our efforts. Good heavens, another bone; but this seems a bit brighter than the one before—let’s see— why surely don't you recollect this one? Don't you remember when we became full fledged sophomores? As If we could ever forget! Such a time—such a time! Grandfathers still shake their heads about It and sigh and ask. What's going to become of this generation? Why. when I was a lad. etc., etc. We're only young once, so we have to make good use of the few years of youth granted us. Please don't think that we had lost any of our sparking wit and brilliancy by our change—nay. nay: we gained. If that were possible. A barber shop was started the very llrst day of the new term and all Frosh boys were cor- dially Invited to attend. Oh. the BEAUTIFl L ,tiff urea that angrily stalked out of our shop. • Junior Horoscope Secrets—I'll tell you how it was done. First of all a lock of hair was shaved lengthwise and then crosswise from the heads of the victims, then as a mark of our special favor the hair was deliciously perfumed with rotton eggs. Others were given u shampoo guaranteed to clean. You see we still believed In being thorough In every piece of work we attempted. Then camo the Sophomore Hop. The usual good time was enjoyed by all. So ended our second year. We did not. as In our first year, grlevo openly, but gulped down the sobs, mastered the tears and treinelo In our voices and departed as befitted such learned persons. Dig—more digs — dirt — more dirt. Great Caesar! Say will you look at this! Mah goo'ness, what a bone. Did you ever see such a thing? But why shouldn't it be an extraordinary article? Do you realize that this is the worry of our third year? I do believe you forgot that wo wore upper classmen—Ahem! Of all great and un- forgotable Junior Classes this is the most “un- forgetablest.” Why. didn't we start a new fad? Our candy booth at the Slrkus was the first really successful one. Why. my children, after the candy was disposed of I ura found that she was « ven stepping on some because there was so much of it. Rockefeller was poverty-stricken beside us that memorable night.

Some ram from the grammar grades, some from a far country and some from other hulls of learning. They were received with much rejoicing by those who it was decreed should henceforth guide their faltering steps along the highway and byways of knowledge. K.i t they ui ii- ushered into a mam presided over by two disciples of Learning and there they made out their courses. Then they were turned over to the tender mercies of a certain hand of wild beings called -Sophomores. who. because of their taste for Freshman blood caused them great suffering. They wrought great miracles, making the boys as girls and girls as wild beings terrible to behold. But from some unknown source the Freshmen gathered courage to repulse the attack and preserve the dignity of their class and now much honor is shown them for their divers accomplishments In athletics, dramatics, music, society and last but not least, scholarship.

BOYS’ ATHLETICS BASKET HA LI, Basketball was the first sport that Westwood High School took up this year and it proved a great success. We didn't win all the time. w« didn't lose all the time, but we learned all th time the meaning of good sportsmanship and “fair and aquaro play,” and the value of athletics for Its own sake. By working with the boys for several weeks, Mr. Noyes was able to develop two fairly good teams, one of 120 pounds and one un- limited team. The 120-pound team played very few games but lots of good material was found for the first team iu tho coming years. Harry Mitchell was elected captain by the first team at thu beginning of the season, but he soon left school. Fred Nlepoth was then elected and held tho position for the rest of tho season. Lawrence Hemlcr and Bill Corbett acted as suc- ceeding captains of the weight teams. The first game for the lights” was with Green- ville. They showed there that they knew their stuff” by beating them by a score of 15 to 14. The Greenville boys were willing to come back for more u few weeks later, but this tirno the Westwood boys outclassed them and gained an easy victory of 20 to 0. Because of the difiiculty of making arrangements the third game was not played. Tho unlimited team’s first game was also witn Greenville. The floor was smaller than we were accustomed to, but our boys were able to keep from going through the walls. We won tho gamo, however, by a 35-26 wore. This was a (Continued on Page 1—Second Section) r PAGE TEN GIRLS’ ATHLETICS. DRAMATICS, Girls’ Athletics WESTWOOD VS. GKKXYILLK W. II. � . :� l—G. II. S. IT The Ural basketball game of the season 14 usually lire one about which there is the least speculating. We think wo know what our teams call do. hut we don’t know what they will do when put to the test, and so eagerly await rofcrec’s whistle which tells us that the hall is in the air and the game is on. This year the Urat game held au additional Interest Tor us. Our teams had been invited to compete with the Greenville high school teams at Greenville. This was the llrst time w.- had had any competition with our neighbors in Indian Valley. We understood that there were to be two boys' games and two girls' games, and so one Saturday afternoon machines carrying some fifty or sixty Westwoodltes start- ed out. When we arrived wo found two boys' teams and one girls' team awaiting us. llut when we karnod that there wore only ten girls enrolled in the school we were unanimous in our expression of admiration for the pep and spirit that played no small part in tho organization of a team of which any school would be proud. After tho games refreshments were served and dauclug followed At midnight wo started home and brought with us the promise that the Green- ville teams would be our guests in the near future. WESTWOOD vs. McAKTUUR V. 11. S. 15—F. It H. S. lO Our next game was with McArthur aud was played at Kail River Mills. Tho Westwood teams left home at about 10:00 a. at., and although some cars mistook cow trails for roads in one or two instances, they dually all checked in a; McArthur at about 3 o'clock that afternoon. At flvo o'clock the welcome sound of the dinner bell brought tho crowd to life. When tne second � ,«■' rang a few minutes later a perfect attendance at the dining hall was recorded. The games wore played that evening. Alter a hard fought game our girls Unally emerged with a victory by the very narrow margin of live poiuls. After the game a splendid banquet was served and at this time many plans were made for future games. The following morning several partios visited the Pitt River Power Plant No. 1 and other points of intorcst before starting on the roturn trip. When we were ready to leave considerable discussion arose concerning the route to be taken. Our boys' second team hud a game sched- uled with Blebor that ulght and a good many vere anxious to be among those present and givo the boys some support. Miss Neill and her ••gang” decided to return by tho shorter road, while the rest voted to prolong their trip. Al- though the latter did not get to bed until the following morulng most of them can say that they arrived tho same day they started. We were disappointed is not being able to en- tertain the McArthur teams this year but are look- ing forward to meeting them in Westwood next season. Unsettled weather and the illness of st-uie members of the McArthur teams made a return game impossible. WESTWOOD vs. GREENVILLE W. 11. S. —G. H. S. 14 This was our first game at home and due to the fact that we bad to call the first game at seven instead of eight o'clock In the evening we did uot have our usual crowd. We are planning on making some different arrangements next year for we cannot afford to lose any gate receipts. Our girls were again victorious but not with- out a hard struggle. At tho end of the first half Greenville was leading but in the second half our team played some real basketball and began to score and carried off the game by a margin of eight points. WESTWOOD vs. LASSEN HIGH W. II. S. 4—L. I’. If. 8. 18 Next on the II-1 was the first gamo wRn Lassen. It was played at Susauville and resulted In u very decisive victory for our rivals. Iu spite of the thoroughness of our defeat the game was a very exciting one. Our team was able to hold them to a tie score during the first hull, but from then on it was Lassen's game. Super- ior individual playing and excellent team work told the tale and when the final whistle blew tho game was theirs by 11 points. After the game, refreshments, consisting A cider and doughnuts, were served and a dance was held in the High School Gymnasium. About twelve o’clock we returned home without the game, but with a firm determination to give a better account of ourselves in the return game which was to be played at Westwood two weeks later. WESTWOOD vs. ( KDAKVH.LE W. II. S. II—Ceditrville i Odarville was the second addition to our list of athletic rivals. The game had lo be played li the high school gymnasium which is a most uu satisfactory basketball court. Hut this was our only chance to play Cedarvllle and we could not afford lo miss the opportunity. The game was anybody’s right up until the last whistle blew and the victory was all the more appreciated. WESTWOOD vs. MOIMX: W. 11. 8. 5—M. 17...H. 8. 14 We are always glad to welcome the Modoc teams and this year was no exception. AHer playing a hard game with Lassen they journeyed to Wesiwood after bacon and got it by nine points. It's getting to be sort of a habit with them, but we're not yet convinced that wo can’t beat them. Lood out. Modoc! We’re rarin' to go! We’re going to have to play two games In one next year in order to make up for the re- turn game we couldn’t give you this year. WESTWOOD vs. LASSEN HIGH W. II. S. 11—L. U. II. S. 137 Once more we matched our skill with that of Lassen and once more we went down to defeat, tii.i time by a score of 11 to 27. The Lassen teams brought a good sized rooting section with them which was the subject of much favorable comment. Come again, Lassen—Hie more the merrier. We won't let you have the gamo If we can help It. but we’ll provide a pluce for your rooters and they'll have many opportunities to try out their voices. This was the last game of what wc consider, in spile of several defeats, a most successful sea- son for our girls' basketball team. We're look- ing forward to meeting you all again next year and may the best team win. GIRLS' INTKR-4'LASS MASKKTI1ALL Soon after wc had played our last interschool game our Senior-Sophomore and Junior-Fresh men oluss teams were organized. A three-game schedule was arranged, the team winning two games to be awarded the girls interclass basket- ball trophy. The teams were very evenly matched and the games most exciting, especially the last one which docided the series, each team having won one game. The final game was takeu by the Junior-Freshman team and with U the Inter- class trophy. Dramatics Our first dramatic venture of this year came rather late. Our school is so small that we al- most have to take our activities in succession and athletics occupied all the first semester. We wero very pleased with the two little skits, ”Zc Modern English,” and The Economical Boom- erang. presented under the direction of Mrs. Graham for the meeting of the Parent Toachern Association on March fourth. They were well worth waiting for. The cast for Ze Modern F.nglish was as follows: Ralph Random..................Stanley Davis Marquis dc Trouville .... Hugh Adams Tom Fen'-hurch........Harry Wilkinson Mrs. Random......................Ruth Jensen Envy, hfr daughter..............Dorya Drake Marie de Trouville..Josephine Peaslee Ralph Random, while in France, lias taught English to the marquis but it is English of the sluugiesl sort. The marquis has taught his duughler, Marie, the same sort of English. Ralph is engaged to Marie, but when she aud her father visit Ralph in America their slang shocks all Ralph's friends. The young man fears the marquis will break the engagement when be learns the trick played on him. Ralph’s sister saves him by suggesting that the American lan- guage changes rapidly and that the murquis and Marie would better learn it again. This quiets Ralph’s fears and he and Marie go on with tholr plana for marriage. Tlie other skit, The Economical Boomerang.” wus ulso very cleverl presented. The cast was: Mr. Dabblelon.............Stanley Davis Mrs. Dabbieton..............Rulli Jensen Maggie, the Servant ...Leona Summers Mrs. Bird Plover................Marjorie Brown Mr. Bird Plover..................Vincent Felion The Doctor.................Floyd Meyers Mr. Dabbloton's plea for economy induces his wife t attempt her own dressmaking. She uses her husband as a figure for draping, and while thus engaged, callers outer unannounced. They think Dubbleton is crazy. The doctor says so. Maggie, the servant, helps it on. and everything Dabbieton does confirms it. After a trying ex- perience Mr. Dabbieton decides that it would In- better to hire a dressmaker so that his peace of mind may be preserved. •TOME Ol'T OF THE KITCHEN Come Out of tho Kitchen,” a comedy by A.

Crane is very particular that white servants be in the house, so the Dalngerllelds wire to Washington for sonic. At the last minute u telegram is rocoivcd that the servants can not come. At Olivia's sugges- tion the Dalngerflelds decide to ini personati the servants until more can be obtained. Many amusing complications follow, when all the rqen fall in love with Olivia, who is masquerading as cook. As always, the play ends In the wedding of the hero and heroino, who live happily ever after. Rehearsals are going smoothly, with plenty of pep. as a result of the excellent coaching of Mrs. Jayne.

Never waiting for you. It does not pay to sit and dream. Just go right ahead and do. Tho' many times you are weary. And are ready to give up the game. Just smile and act really cheery. And you'll win both fortune and fame. —G. L. ’26. EDITORIAL, LITERARY PAGE ELEVEN Student Body Self-Government Government i the instrument by which society j impose rules upon the conduct of man, punishes those who disobey and steers society through the sou of man's selfishness, cruelty and passions. Student hotly self-government, of course involves only certain phases of this definition; it imposes j laws upon the conduct of students, it punishes the! disobedience, it controls the social life of the school, I and above all when properly maintained, it helps the students to realise the requirements for good i citizenship. Student laxly self-government, in form, is a re- presentative democracy, the elected student repre- sentative!. being the adminstrutora of government under faculty guidance. The students who take an active part in the management of school affairs •veeive valuable knowledge and experience in dis- tinguishing between right and wrong. They are constantly brought in contact with matters which require careful consideration, and above all. tact. But no matter how capable and tactful the offi- cers may lie, without support from the student body, they are helpless. Success of student self- government requires every student's support of all laws, b terest in all activities, and school pat- riotism. The first fact of citizenship in any democracy is the civic responsibilities of the individuals. One’s own conduct affects a school for good or for evil.) A demagogue in a student body is to be ns much i shunned as a political demagague, for his influence is deadly, and soon becomes a destructive element j in government. If a sense of responsibility is inculcated, each in- dividual i made safe for democracy. On the other hand democracy can only be made safe for the world by relieving it of demagogues, tyrants and those indifferent to duty. —Ruth Jensen, Student Body President, ’24. Practical Education In addition to the regular academic work our school carries on three practical branches of edu- cation : Domestic Science. Commercial courses, and Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing. These activities prepare the girls and boys, giving them a practical knowledge of things important in their life work, whether in industry, business or the home. Our girls are given a thorough training in the principles of housekeeping and dressmaking through a two-year course in Domestic Science. Our boys are given a practical course in shop work which covers the understanding and working of plans and drawings using both mechanical and hand tools. Both boys and girls enjoy the business training so vital to everyone in his everyday transactions. Wo have every reason to be proud of our students who are all interested in the various courses of our school. We appreciate, also, the generous equipment made possible by our School Board, who has spared neither time nor money to make our school one of the best High Schools of the State. In all activities our students have power, ability and service second to none. G. L. 26 t Government is reorganized and re-established in Westwood High School most satisfactory resulta will be obtained. Next year we hope to make up our complete schedule of student body activities curly in the year. The best plan would be to make it out at the end of the spring semester and this can be done in a general way. At any rate we should have a fairly complete program made out by the end of the first week of the fall semester. In this way� we will have no conflicts und each activity will have it’s share of time and attention. Our spring sports seem to be the most unstable of our activities. Whether or not we have any seems to be pretty much a matter of chance. Why not plan for them at the biginning of the year and having set our goal, set the pace necessary to at- tain that goal? We do not lack competition nor teams to represent us and wc can surely find some- way of financing our baseball ,and track teams. At the close of our basketball season we begin almost immediately to make plans for our Hi Skule Sirkus. This is one of the biggest events of the year and wc believe one of the most worth while, for the proceeds go to maintain a scholar- ship fund. Each year we try to make it a little- bigger and better than the previous year. The generous patronage of our many friends has made this undertaking most successful and we are already planning a bigger, better show for them next year. One division of our school activities which wc would like to see enlarged and given a more promi- nent place is music. We already have an orchestra which has earned its right to recognition and a place in the sun, by a long hard struggle over a period of three years. In spite of everything and everybody “it has arrived” and we feel sure, has come to stay. They furnish us with music on vari- ous occasions and not the least of their services to the student body has been the entertainment they have provided for visiting athletics teams. Why not have a High School Glee Club too?. We've talked a lot, started one once, but so far have made very little progress in this direction. It's a good idea. Let's not let it get away. Perhaps we can find time and place for it in our program for next year. Shortly after the Sirkus has become ancient history notices concerning tryouts begin to appear. It lias been our custom to put on at least one play during the school year. This year we have selected “Come Out of the Kitchen.” The cast is rehears- ing daily and all indications point to a successful production. We are very fortunate in having se- cured the services of Mrs. Jayne, and shall do our best to cooperate with her in every way. Last, but not least we have our school publica- tions or, more correctly speaking, publication. This year wc are trying something new and are publish- ing a school paper instead of the usual school annual. If it is successful we may look forward to a semi-annual publication. Such an arrangement would divide the responsibility, cut down expenses and give our literary department the necessary medium of expression. This may seem a large program for a school of nur size to fulfill, but if we each make ourselves responsible for some smnll part of it, when another year rolls around we wijl find our schedule com- pleted without excessive demands having been made on any one person or group of persons in the school. P. S. '25 Looking Forward Someone has sail!, “He who makes no mistakes, does nothing.” This thought is most consoling when one thinks of the year of 1923-1924. But what about 1924-1925? Wc are looking forward to bigger mid belter programs than ever before. We are going to do more and make fewer mistake;. We arc going to profit hy our experience of the past year. For the past two years Strident Government has been maintained in Westwood High School. This year, because of failure to inderstand and assume the responsibilities of Student Government, tin faculty found it necessary to suspend this privi- The year of 1923-’24 has on the whole been n successful one. but as our athletics relations have been furthered and we have had numerous other expenses it has been a hard pul! to make our funds cover the many things we would like to do. But Westwood High School never gives up and so in spite of many obstacles the Chipmunk is going to press. This paper contains a record of our classes and school actvities although somewhat condensed to suit our new form of publication. We have given all departments space for their usual writeups and pictures, and in addition to this material, views and sketches of our “One Man Town” have been included for wc feel that people outside of our community will be interested. This issue is an experiment. It it goes over well our Chipmunk muy be encouraged to ventured forth of tener than once a year. If he finds hi way to other schools we ask that you be kind to him. The staff takes this opportunity to express their appreciation to those members of the student body, alumni and faculty who have aided in the prepara- tion o� the material for this publication. M. M.'25 A P. '25 A Dog’s Life 1 woke up this morning and found my mistress gazing down ul me with a very horrible, screwed- up look on her face, anyway, that's what it seemed like to me. but I believe she used the term sweet smile” to describe It. Well, if that's u suille I never hope to see one again, especially i. sweet one. I closed my eyes In order to shut off the view, hut that only mude It worse for she hegau to Jabber at me In Chinese, Russian, or some other foreign language, anyway. It sounded something like this: Isootill tide n’seepy muvverslttypetlamb. He-s- soritty heart—slush, gurleg. slush—etc.” I opened my eyes and tried to give her a dis- gusted look but my long boolful locks.” as she called them, must have hidden my face, for the look didn't produce the desired effect on her. In- stead of leaving she only started again In another outburst introduced by a shrill laugh, and as she picked me up in her arms, temptation was so great that I could not refrain from kicking her in the face. This also had no effect for she prob- ably thought It was a little love tap a::d cooed __ over me some more. Then she took me ...... t little white room und placed me In charge of a young girl dressed in white who was supposed to be my nut id. I wus then placed in a little tub of warm water and scrubbed and dried; then, after tying a dealeatable lavendur ribbon around my neck. I was ready for my morning walk. How 1 wish it was a walk! But, ulus, it was any- thing but that for me. I was placed in a llniou- sin- beside my mistress and wc rode to the park where we got out. A chain was fastened around my neck and I was led around the park. How I longed to be free like the other dogs. They prob- ably didn’t realize what lucky dogs they were. I looked ut the others with envy as they scampered here and there free to go where they pleased. Then suddenly a bright idea canto to me and as u large collie passed me I gave a little yelp and he turned around to see what I wanted. 1 told him of my scheme and ho was more than willing to help me. I started in to yelp and whine some- thing fierce and limped along on three feet until my mistress picked me up. She started examin- ing m.v foot when suddenly there was a rustle and swish of skirts and then a heavy thud and my mistress was sprawled out on the cement walk and I was on my way to—any place but homo, followed by tho colllo. Ho soon caught up with me and directed me to an old back yard of some body's. On second thought It was probably just an old dumpyard for no one could have quite such a filthy yard as this was. Well,” he said, after he had gotten his breath, ”1 had a pretty tough time getting through all those skirts, but I finally succeeded.” Yos,” I answered, with a sigh of relief, You certainly did, and I am grateful to you.” Don't mention It. he said. 1 was also once a 'hot house pet,’ hut them days are gone for- ever.” Then we both laughed. Well, 1 am still free and hope to be the rest or my life, and If you saw me now you would think that I never in my life had taken a bath. —R. P. '26.

There are three chief processes of the lumber is cheap, both railroad and animal power art used the year around in the Lake District rail- road and sleigh hauling is customary. Logging in the Rocky Mountains is usually confined to the summer months, where animai power and skidding i� used almost exclusively. Power log- ging with th-- donkey engine has Been highly de- veloped In the Pacific Northwest and Is used ex- clusively in large timber. Over-head hauling j gradually being introduced and the use of elec- tricity for tins purpose Is being tested. Saw and planing mill have had many improve- ments in machinery and methods which have done much to curtail the waste und to aid In- creased production. Because of the great wastefulness which has formerly, and which is still, characterizing this great Industry in many respects, there has been much talk to the effect tlmt u timber famine Is threatening the Unled States. This wastefulness was due chiefly to card sanes in handling, be- cause of the great abundance of the forest, which could be acquired cheaply; because of the low prices offered for the best grades of lumber which made It unprofitable to handle cheaper grades; and because of the desire to clear lands rapidlv for agricultural purposes. As successive forest lands have became ex- hausted. the industry has moved westward and where such destruction either by removal o.- natural causes has occurcd without replacement, the water supply of the districts concerned have been vitally effected. Congress has met this sit- Tho Southern Forests extend from New Jersey south and west over the Atlantic and (lull States to Texas.

It is In this district that agricultural de- velopment has been the greatest, and vast arehs have been cleared for that use because tne soil is more fertile there than either to the north or south. However, enough oak. elm. hickory, walnut and other hurdwoods are milled to ship to a few distant consumers as well as to supply the local demand. W-st from the vast plains and prairlea of the middle western states are the Rocky Mountain forests. The bulk of the timber in this region consists of western yellow pine, fir and spruce. In the northern part is also found great quan- tities of larch, western hemlock, cedar and west- ern white pine. On the Pacific coast from the summits of the Cascades of Washington and Oregon to the ocean, and on the Coast range and the Sierra Ne vadus of California are found the heaviest timber and the largest individual trees ever re- corded. Among these are giant fir. cedar, spruce, redwoods and pines. This region for many years to come will compose the most Important timber center of the United States. The manufacturers of lumber constitute by far the largest single use of the forests. Numbering both the large and tho small, there are over 5000 sawmills in the United States. Tho making of lumber and timber products gives employment to more labor than any other industry in the coun- try; while in point of capital invested and value of output, the manufacture of these products ranks third in our great industries—surpassed only by meat packing and the foundry and ma- chine shop Industries. In the early days the most important part of the lumber trade of the United States was getting shingles and laths. From there the planing mill produces the various kinds and grades of finished lumber. These separate processes may he operated by different companies. Sometimes tho saw and planing mills are operated in conjunction. Very often, especially where the organization is largj. forest and are even controlling certain parts known as (lie National Reserves. Statistics show that the estimated amount of timber now standing in the United States is 2.800 billion feet and Is probaBTy about one-half the amount standing at the time settlement and cutting of timber began. Our consumption of sawed timber products now averages approxi- mately 5o billion feet a year. From these figures we may assume that at the present rate of con- sumption our forest will only furnish us cuttings for the next fifty-six years. However. If sta- tistics from other und older nations are any cri- terion. our annual per capita consumption of lumber will drop from 500 board feet to 48 or 60. thereby decreasing our total annual consump- the plant covers all processes and in addition In- tlon.

He wus ail duty to her m a minute; He had to run rignt otf and look her up. As if to say, ‘ Ihai a «� . how I� my wife? I hope she Isn't getting tnto mischief. No one was anxious to get rid of Paul. He'd been the htro 01 the mountain camps Kver aline, Just to show them, he hau slipped The bark of a whole tamarack off whole. As clean as boy do o� f a willow twig To muke a willow whistle on a Sunday In April by subsiding meadow brook . They seemed to ask him just to see him go, ••How Is the wife. Paul? and he always went. H«- never stopped to murder anyone Who asked the question. He Ju t disappeared Nobody knew In what direction. Although It wasn't usually long IP-fore they heard of lum in some new eamp. It., name Paul at the same old teal of logging. The question everywhere was why should Paul Object to being asked a civil question— A man you could say almost anything to, Short of a flghtlng word. You have the answer� . And there was one more, not so fair to Paul. That Paul had married a wife not his equal. Paul was ashamed of her. To mutch a hero. She would have had to be a heroine; lusP-ud of which she was some half-breed squaw. Hut if the story Murphy told wus true. She wasn't anything to he ashamed of. You know Paul could do wonders. Everyone's Heard bow he thrashed the horses on a load That wouldn't budge until they simply stretcho.1 Their rawhide harness from the load to camp. Paul told tho boss the load would be all right.

Hut I guess The one about his Jumping so's to lund With both his feet at once against the celling. Aud then land safely right side up again Hack on the floor. Is fact or pretty near fact. Well this is such a yarn. Paul sawed his wife Out of a white-pine log. Murphy was there. Aud. as you might say. saw the lady born. Paul worked at anything in lumbering. He'd been hard at it taking boards away For—i forget—the last ambitious sawyer To want to iind out if lie couldn't pile The lumber on Paul 'till l’aul begged for mercy. They'd sliced the lirst slab off a oig butt log. And the sawyer had slummed tho carriage hack To slam end on again against the saw teeth. To Judge them by tho way they caught themselves When they saw what had happened to the log. Th-y must have had a guilty expectation Something was going to go with their slambanging Something had left a blaek streak of grease On the new wood the whole length of the log Except, perhaps, a foot at either end. Hut when Paul put his linger in the grease, It wasn't grease at all, but a long slot. The log was hollow. They were sawing pine. First time I ever saw a hollow pine. That comes of having Paul urouud the place. Take it to hell for me. the sawyer said. Everyone had to have a look at It. And tell Paul what he ought to do about It. • They treated it a his. I You take u Jack-knife. And spread the opening, and you’ve got a dug-out All dug to go a-fishlng In.” To Paul The hollow looked too sound und clean and empty Ever to have housed birds or beasts or bees. There was no entrance for them to get in by. It looked to him like some new kind of hollow He thought he'd better lake his Jack-knife too. So after work thal evening he came back And let enough light Into it by cutting To see If it was empty. He made out in there A slender length of pith, or was it pith? It might have been the skin a snake had cast And left stood up on end inside the tree The hundred years the tree must have been growing. More rutting and he had this In both hands. And. looking from it to the pond nearby. Paul wondered how it would respond to water. Not a breeze stirred, but Just the breath of air He made In walking slowly to the beach Blew it once off his hands and almost broke It. He laid it at the edge where it could drink At the first drink it rustled and grew limp. At the next drink It grew invisible. Paul dragged the shallows for It with his fingers And thought It must have melted. It wus gone. And then beyond the open water, dim with midges. Where the log drivo lay pressed against the boom. It slowly rose a person, rose a girl. Her wet hair heavy on her like a helmet. Who, leaning on a log looked back at Paul. And that made Paul In turn look back To see if it was anyone behind him That she was looking at instead oT him. Murphy had been there watching all the time. . Hut from u shed whore neither of them could see him. There was a moment of suspense In birth When the girl seemed too water-logged to live. Before she caught her lirst breath with a gasp And laughed. Then she climbed slowly to her fe-t and walked off talking to herself or Paul Across the logs like backs of alligators. Paul taking after her around the pond. Next evening Murphy and some other fellows Cot drunk, and tracked the pair up Catamount. From the bare top of which there is a view To other hills across a kettle valley. And there, well after dark, let Murphy tell it. They saw Paul and his creature keeping house. It was the only glimpse that anyone Has had of Paul or her since Murphy saw them Falling in love across the twilight mill-pond. More than a mile across tho wilderness They sat together half way up a cliff In a small niche let Into it, the girl Brightly, as if a star pluyed on the place. Paul darkly, like her shadow. All the light Was from the girl herself, though, not from a star. As was apparent from what happened next. All those great ruffians put their tnroats together And let out a loud yell, und threw u buttle. As u brute tribute of respect to beuuly. Of course the bottle fell short by a inilo. Hut the shout reached the girl aud put her light out. She went out like a firefly, and thut wus all. So there were witnesses that Paul was married. And not to anyone to be ashamed of. Everyone had been wrong In judging Paul. Murphy told me Paul put on those airs About his wife to keep her to himself. Paul was what's called a terrible possessor. Owning a wifi- with hint meant owning her. She wasn't anybody else' business. Either to praise her, or so much us name her. And ho’d thank peoplo not to think of her. Murphy’s idea was that a man like Paul Wouldn’t he spoken lo about a wife In any way the world knew how lo speak. By Robert Frost.

The stream of Immigrants which poured Into the United States between 1846 and 1315 was the greatest movement of population in all history. Within those yeurs nearly thirty millions of people left foreign countries to seek homes In America. In tho earlier years of the movement the Im- migrants came front western Europe, from Eng- land. Scot laud, Irelund. Germany and France. After the close of the Civil War a tide of Immi- gration began to flow steadily from Norway. Sweden und Denmark. The immigration from the northern countries of Europe continued until nearly one-fourth of all the Scandinavians In the world had settled in the region thut stretebeu from laike Michigan to Puget Sound. In the last years of the nineteenth century another great stream of immigrants set in. This time they came from southern and southeastern Europe- -Italians. Greeks. Slavs. Poles. Bohemians. Slovaks. Ru- | then la us, Serbs. Magyars and Croats. In opening years of the twentieth century the new stream became a flood. In 1907 over a million and a quarter foreigners entered our country; the great majority of them came from southern and southeastern Europe. The result of the mighty Influx of recent years went far toward chunging the character and the complexion of the American population. At the outbreak of the war with Germany one-third o? our people had to he classified as being of foreign parentage, while the foreign born numbered ono- sixth of all the adults. -1 The regulation of this Incoming tide oi ’uil- manity devolves upou the federal government Before lXus. because of the terms of the consti- tution Congress could not regulate Immigration. Since that date, however. Congress has full con- trol of immigration and the federal government has pursued a liberal policy jn dealing with It. It has thrown open the doors of hospitality and given a welcome to the strangers of almost every land. About 1SSO. however. America began to feel thal immigration of such a large character was no longer desirable and demanded restriction. First the Chinese were excluded in 1882. In the same year Congress ordered that the character of all immigrants he looked into, and restricted from admission all lunatics, convicts. Idiots and other persons not able to take care of them- selves. By the law of 1885 It is made unlawful for certain classes of labor lo enter the United States, if they huve previously entered Into a contract to perform luhor here. Any person brought here under a contract to perforin labor cau be sent back at the expense of the vessel which brought him. While putting up the bars against immigrants, consideration of the part immigration has played in the development of the country must he taken, for in the building or America we have rolled in no small degree upon the Immigrant. Had not the great influx of foreigners occurred, much of the country would still be a wilderness, and today in the Industrial and agricultural life of the na- tion tho services of the immigrant are immense. Now. however, the United Slates Is populated by about one hundred and ten millions of people, who have occupied all the habitable lands except those covered by forests. It is true that Americu has uot as many people as China or India, but neither is the standard of life in the United States as low- as in cither of these two coun- tries. It is bocause of the danger of lowering the standard of life, that some of the foremost stu- dents of the immigration problom think It is high Cont. on Page 1 (Second Section) PAGE FOURTEEN ALUMNI Alumni In an old iwue of tlio Chipmunk un ulumni (.■ditor couipaml a high school without alumni bucking to a cannon hull without a cannon. We arc glad to suy that Westwood High School has never found Itself In this deplorable condition. Ileginning with our first alumnus, who graduated in Ibis, and continuing to the present time, we can truthfully say that the cannon has always neen In good working order. At the present lime the alumni association boasts of thiity-flve members, several of whom are students in various universities, where life Is always very busy, but they have found time t send a few words of greeting to the present stu- dents and friends of their old High School. Hey Frosh! Faced ut the very beginning with perhaps the hardest problem of his college career, many a freshman stands annually at the forks of the road. Into his hands Is Intrusted the momentous decision, the result of which tuny keep Inin in th • University or. again, may put an end to h J happiest days before they have scarce begun. At one road let us erect a sign hearing the legend The Kvll of Carrying Too Much ; at tho other, one which reads. The Kvll of Carrying Too Little. To the average llrst year man these two roads constitute the only ways through a college course, and many a man today would have graduated from the University of California if the medium or u middle route had been ap parent. Too much study or too much activity means a neglect of one or both, with most disastrous re- sults to the student. In a like manner, too litti'- study or uu interest in too few activities has eve , a worse effect. Those who hold themselves aloof from contact with activities and from the com «fV.yi.J'lterests of their Alma Mater lose the most precious heritage of college years—-KitIKNUS. At no university are there more opportunities ror part let I pat Ion in literary, forensic, or ath- letic Helds than at the University of California. In addition, the social life of class and university absorbs its quotu of new blood, and ever longs for more. Of prime interest to the high school senior at the present time is the freshman year which faces him or her in college. President W. W. Campbell of the university has said that If a student survives the first semester he stands an excellent chance of completing his four years or education. Realizing the Importance of correct guidance during the initial month of a college career. California has an extensive advisory sys- stem with a personnel made up of faculty and senior students. This group of advisors have a dual purpose. They are responsible not only for tin freshman's course of study, but also the kind and number of activities in which he participates. Jack of all trades and master of none. is a time-worn adage which, while ancient, is the most descriptive term which may he applied to tile average college man or woman interested In activities at California. Without exaggerating on present conditions it Is safe to say that half who become “flunkouts are relegated to this class simply because they attempted to do too many things. In a similar manner a large percentage of first class athletes fail to make the team because In their freshman year they were not advised to limit their activities to one sport. It is impossible in college for the average person to follow the high school custom of being on two teams at the same time. Perhaps the greatest problem of all associated with university entrance Is that Involving the question of Shull I become a rraternity man? In after life the thrusts of the world may dull your sensibilities and east a haze over tho mem- ory of some college events, but nothing can over dim or tarnish the recollections of rush week. The night that a new found friend pinned a symbolic pledge button over your wildly beating heart will never be forgotten. Put. like all good things, entrance into a fraternity stands consid- eration and bears the giving oi a little sound udvlce. Call It the don't of the frateruily aspirant if you wish. Don’t he too eager, don't bo forward, don't anticipate your bid. and then find out before you accept with what kind of a group you are afitl.at.ug yourself. Hotter wear uo pin ut ull than one ot which you are not proud. Wealth does noi recoin mend a fraternity, neither does it condtlun it. Men aie men for all of that. What is true of u men entering a university D likewise true of a girl. The problems of the one ar • the problems of the other in a slightly altered form. Faculty advice, while always intended foi the best, may full simply because the instructor did not have enough lac.s concerning the student at his disposal. ' enior advisors are upt to be prejudiced aiu oiased lu their decisions. The fact that they are always personally interested in some house or activity cannot help but have a bearing, however small it may he, upon the ad- vice they offer. In the innumerable problems which dally come up during the freshman year, there are alumni to whom the newcomers may always turn for help. At California toduy are men and women who once chanted the fighting gong of Westwood High. From them can be gained help, if the person wishing It will only let them know. Uit- foriuntcly, advice in the freshman year is ten- deied by most upper classmen very sparingly, for few appreciate laughter for their pains. The salf- suhlciency of sonic freshmen is actually pitiful. The alumni ure never too busy to talk to you longer than a faculty Instructor or a senior ad- visor. At California today ure alumni of Westwood High who but a few short years ago drank from tho same fountain of clear mountain water as you today will drink. Today these same alumni mey he drinking from the marble fouutain on the Sathcr Terrace from which you some day will drink. What, then, can he more tilting than that from them you may learn, and that to you may ever extend the common and binding tie of comradeship in the school among the pines. Sincerely yours, H. E. CASSIDY. Berkeley. Cal., March 31. 1924. Dear Editor; I wus greatly pleased to have been called upon for a contribution for this year's publica- tion. If the little I have to say will do someone some good by influencing them to go to college, I will feel that 1 have accomplished a great deal. I have been more than repaid for the efforts I have expended toward my schooling and each day 1 am hotter able to appreciate the real value of education. I used to think that tho college or university was a place where well-to-do people sent their sons and daughters, but that Idea certainly has been changed since 1 came down here. Eighty per cent of the students of this university are work- ing their way through, and it Is an houor, rather than a humiliation, as some are prone to think, to work in order to continue education. The University of California has been severely criti- cized for the apparent prevalence of social func- tions, dances, etc. Every one. I think, will ad- mit that a certain amount of play distributed at the right and proper time is desirable If not nec- essary. Our institution is so large and thore arc so many groups that the public is led to believe college life here Is Just one big party. We who urc here can best testify to the error of this Id � . As far as most of us are concerned wc buy our A. S. U. C. cards which admit us to all contests in the way of sports. Including base- ball. basketball, football, soccer, wrestling, box- ing and crew races. Through some of these channels one can get a little diversion from bis studies, as well as a lot of enjoyment. If there is anyone in the graduating class who I; planning to go to college, just recommend to them this university and give them my ad- dress. I shall be glad to help them register, ar- range their toursc, and do auything 1 can to make the hist few weeks u little easier. With best regards to the faculty and student body. I am. your friend. LEWIS E. ERUES. L of N.. Reno. Nev., April 3. 1924. Dear Editor: Purliaps you would like to know how some of tho Westwood graduates like Nevada and how they are making out. Nevada Is recognised as one of the best small universities in the west; the student body num- bers about seven hundred and fifty. As you know, a small university has certain advantages over a large one. We come in closer contact with both students and faculty than is possible at the larger schools. If there Is something that you do not fully understand your professors are always ready and willing to help you. which is not always possible at a larger Institution. We have a very good faculty, all of whom are capable, and some even are nationally known. A small school tends to be more democratic, because studeuts and faculty get better acquainted with each other. Along the line of athletics. It is much easier to make the team in football, busketbull, track and other sports. You have more attention and are recognized quicker. One of last year's West- wood grads, for Instance, made Ills class numerals iu football here and he had never been In a a suit before. This can be duplicated by most anyone, not only in football but in other sports as well. One may think a small school can not put out as good a team as u larger one, yet Ne- vada, last season, put out a team that held California’s wonder team to a scoreless tie. The varied departments of the university art- all well organized and equipped. Courses In mechanical, electrical and mining engineering, arts and science, agriculture uiid education arc offered. The Muckay School of Mines Is the best lu the west. The College of Agriculture is also very good, the dean of agriculture being a na- tional authority on soils. There are numerous social events each semes- ior such as dances, musical entertainments, dra- matics, etc., all of which tend to make college worth while, for It rs there that one makes new frionds and new acquaintances much more rpad- lly and you learn how to get along with other pooplo. At present the student body is fairly small, but It huH more than doubled In the last few yoars. New buildings ure being built as the size of the universRy warrants. It will not be long before Nevada will rank as high as any of the universities on the coast. We hope that in the future we may have the pleasure of seeing more W’cstwood graduates here. All of us are getting along very nicely and fully intend returning next fall, and we hope to accomplish even more than we have this year. We, the undorslgned. wish succ;ss to Westwood High School and the Chipmunk. Sincerely yours, AUGUSTUS M. DIXON. JOHN CARNIATO. ERWIN J. MORRISON. Berkeley, Cal.. April 2. 1924. Dear Kids: I have now started my college career and 1 just want to tell you a few things about roy ad- vent Into college and how it ull appeared to me. College ain’t all It's cracked up to be.” Looked at front the outside, things always appear dif- ferently from what they really ure. und niy first sight of the University of California scared rather than inspired me. Through all the rush of registration and getting started 1 was wishing that I was back in dear old Westwood High. ' (Continued on Page Two—Second Section.) WESTWOOD PAGE FIFTEEN Westwood Young children lore lo build with block� : the build barns. houses. bridges, engines; older chil- dren like to build sharks, robber rot rout� and torts: still older children love to build real houses, bridge� , engines and towns. Plans for the to vn of Westwood wore begun years ago when .Mr. Thotnus Harlow Wulker. head of the Red River Lumber com puny, after invest!- sating all timber prospects in the 1‘nlted States, decided that California offered the most attrac- tive business proposition. It is healthfully lo- t iled, and could be well adapted lo the policy of marketing Minnesota lumber together with pur- chasing timber In California. To this end a mill was built and operated at Akeley. Minnesota, and the resulting proceeds were invented In timber lands in Northern California. , furnished the material for a boarding house, a small store and a few single cottages, all at which were east of Robber Creek. In July. 191.1. .Mr. Fletcher Walker’s house and one stable wen- built on the west side of the creek, and later the' stepping atones were supplanted by a bridge. Hy this time the railroud had reached Susanville and 1 provisions were brought front there by eight horse teams. When the silvery bells on the: leaders would be heard, everyone wondered what there would he to eut the next day. There was a severe t.nowfal! during the win- ter of 1911-11 and the Southern Pacific workel against heavy odds. At one time a snow plow drawn by thirty-two mules was sent out in an endeavor to clear the right of tvuy. in Febru- ary. 1914 the steel was spiked to the tios Into Westwood and it was n thankful group which hold In the Opera House, and later In the Kin- drgarten Hall. The first school was erected in eleven days and had two teachers and twenty-seven pupils. In September. 1913. the small mill burned and the present mill began its activities, growing to its present slxe of four double cut band mill� and ivu horizontal bund resaws. Operated with the r ill is a log pond 200 by 1500 feet for winter sawing, and a storage pond with a capacity of twiniy million feet of logs; four hundred feet of chain for sorting the green lumber: nineteor power lumber stackers to prepare packages of lumber for the locomotive crane yarding and dry kiln loads. The lumber yard has a capacity of one hundred million feet of lumber and the dry shed. 300x400x33 feel has a capacity of ten mil- lion fed. The battery of dry kilns, twenty-four In 1912 an agreement was made with the Southern Pacific Railroad to extend their line from Fernley to the site of Westwood and active operations f-� r the construction of the town were begun m Jul . The first carload of tna -hiiiery for the new plant was shipped in September from .Minneapolis to Keddie on the Western Paclfit Railroad, then hauled forty-five miles througi Feather River. Indian Creek and Wolf Creek canyons to Westwood. The number of stages using this narrow road, tmide hauling dangerous and slow, so sueeedlng ears of machinery wore sent to Doyle in Honey Lake Valley. This neces- sitated a haul of seventy miles over Fredonh Pass, which Is 5700 feet high, tint less danger- ous than the Keddie route. Eight days were necessary for the teams to make the round trip. In the fall of 1912 a portable mill was hullt, and timber wjs cut lo erect a one-band mill which In turn cut the necessary material for the con- struction of the large mill. This small mill also watched the lust spikes driven. The lumber yard then bousled ten million feet of lumber, and three hundred men were on the pay roll. Late in 1913 the store was begun and some rooming houses anil dwellings were built on the present townsitc. In October and Novem- ber. 1913. Mr. Green and family anu Dr. Davis and his family arrived, so Westwood was cared for spiritually and physically. The first hospital was a three-room house on Cedar street and Dr. Davis’ office was where the stacker now stands. The neighbors did the cooking for the hospital until the adjoining wood-shed was annexed and made Into a kitchen. in April. 1914. the first part of the present hospital was hullt. presided over by Dr. Davis, two nurses and a cook. Our opera house was finished Just In time for the Christmas celebration and was lavishly dec- orated for the occasion.. Tho only drawback was tha.t the drop curtain was delayed In a snow- drift. Church and Sunday School services were In number, have a dally capacity of 4So million feet of lumber. The three dry lumber down stackers with sorting chains have a daily capacity of seven hundred thousand feet. The power plant is equipped with boilers of forty-four hundred horsepower, turbine gene- rators of three thousand kilowatt rating, lath mill and hog house. with three sixty-inch hogs. The planing mill has four double surfacers. five matchers, six rip saws, three band resaws, and a twin band ripping department with three twin- band saws, and sorting chains with a daily ca- pacity of two hundred thousand feet. The box factory has twenty cross-cut saws, six twin-band resaws, five band rip saws, one hori- zontal band resaw, two surfacers. ten sash and door cut-off saws, and two printing presses for box shooks. The efficient manufacturing of tin- lumber In the box factory developed a shortage of fuel, so a hydro-eleetric plant was Installed on PAtiK SIXTEEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION tin bank of Feather Hlver, nix miles from Westwood. Two twenty-four hundred kilowatt generators wore installed. The flume taking the water of Feather Hlver and Clear Creek, pre- paralory for the four hundred and twenty-live foot drop, la three miles long. The sash and door department has u dully ca- pacity of a thousand doors and fifteen hundred sash. Thu moulding department has two baud resaws. five rip saws, eight moulders, two siding saws and a moulding storage shed. The logging i all mad requires seven working locomotives and three hundred cars; the largest day's haul being one million nineteen thousand feet Of logs. The logging at the camps in done by donkey engines, hydraulic-lift high wheels drawn by caterpillars, and slip tongue high wheels drawn by horses. I he horses used In the high wheel work are splendid animals and are kept In perfect condi- tion. There are six barns, a wagon shed and veterinary hospital where horses out of condi- tion are cared for by n veterinary surgeon. Three hundred and fifty liorsrs arc used in town and camps. Three company ranches raise hay for these horses and the thousand head of cattle, which supply the Club and Cafeteria. The little bunch of nondescript dairy cattle has given place — ■- —‘tested herd of one hundred and ninety-six Holstein cows. Approximately one thousand quarts of milk per day are properly cooled and delivered. A chicken ranch is also maintained which supplies the town with fowl and fresh eg � - The flrst Red River Lumber Company store, which would be crowded If twenfy people were shopping, has grown to an establishment carry- ing practically everything necessary for a town. The refrigerating plant makes possible fresh meal, and the warehouse operated in connection with the storo has a year's handling of fifty thou- sand tons of merehanuisc. There are meat, gro- cery. fruit and vegetable, stationery, candy, drug, men's furnishing, dry goods, ladies’ fu-- nishings, news, tobacco, jewelry, music, radio, hardware, furniture, men's and women's shoe, fountain and lunch, and beauty parlor depart- ments. The laundry from a small beginning, has grown- to an establishment employing seven men and eighteen women, where the work of club, cafe- teria. hospital, rooming houses, camps and fami- lies Is systematically and efficiently done. Tho laundry also handles dry cleaning and pressing. The flrst fire department apparatus, which consisted of a small wagon painted red and car- rying garden hose, has attainod tho dignity of a hall of Its own. with seven motorised fire trucks consisting of two pumps, two chemicals, hook and ladder and two hose carts. The first little school building which housed twenty-seven pupils, has grown to separato build- ing� for the high school, grammar school, manual training and gymnasium. The grammar school has a principal and fourteen teachers, with an enroll- ment or five hundred and twenty pupils, while the high School has a principal and nine teachers and a regular attendance of 81 pupils. A child may begin school in the kindorgarten and gradu- at from an accredited high school, which offers all academic subjects required for college as well as excellent departments of commerce, domestic science and manual training. In 1917 the i'copie'a Church was built, with a mating apuclty at seven hundred and ttfty. in .ouneclion with it Is a kitchen and dining room for the use of the Ladies' Aid and other organiz- ations for entertaining. The Sunday School has an enrollment or three hundred a id seventeen pupils. Tho County and Westwood libraries an housed in the church busement and connected with it is a large reading room where free s u tiouery is supplied to men employed by the com i pany. It is very popular with the men, parti u- I .arly those living in the bunk houses, because 01 I tne number of shower baths located Just off this j room. In 15� 23 Our I-ady of the Suoss, the pretty new Catholic church, was erected and is holding r g- ular church and Sunday School services. The hospital has been enlarged; it has now three doctors and twelve nurses, mid at lut present time is undergoing sufficient enlargement to accommodate one hundred beds, it will havt an up-to-the-minute X-ray department and op- erating rooms. It is the largest and best equlppej hospital in California north of Sacramento. A United States hospital inspector who visited it recently stated that it was the only fully equipped hospital in the United States maintained and oper- ated by an industrial company solely for the bene- nt of it employees. Westwood now has a fine auditorium opera too by the Community Association, where induoi baseball and basketball ure played and wrestliug and boxing matches aro held. Roller skating, danrliig. lectures and concerts ure also enjoyed. The Opera ttouse has a seating capacity of five hundred und fifty, where the beat pictures are shown. The International Nows reels are shown here at the same time they are shown iu Sa i Francisco. A modern bakery produclug one thousand two hundred and fifteen loaves of bread per working day. and dozens of pies, cakes, cookies and French pastries, is part of the town's convenience. The flrst rook house wus the California und was the scene of many lively scrambles for pluces at the table. Now the people are comfortably sorved at the Cafeteria where two thousand aud thirty meals are averaged per day. or at the Westwood Club Restaurant where one thousand one hundred and eighty are dally served. The club fountalu serves two hundred and sixty-five persons a day; three hundred play pool or bil- liards. and sixty-three a day use t{ie bowling alleys. In the Club Duilding is a barber shop, mani- cure department aud tables for chess and check- ers. reading, writing and radio equipment. The town lias grown to include. Ash. Birch, (.edar, Delwood, Elm, Kir aud Greenwood streets running north and south, and double blocks on First to Sixth streets inclusive, running east and west. The Red River Lumber Company, when Its camps are operating, has about thirty-five hun- dred on Its pay roll. This growth Is the product of twelve years, and Westwood is still growing. —MRS. FLETCHER L. WALK Kit. In their opinion was too strong to overcome. The financial statement showed an Indebtedness of over one thousand dollars. It was thought that tho work started could be mure successfully done by a local organization and so the Communlly Associatiou was formed. A meeting was called which all citizens In- teristi d were iuvUed to attend, officers were elected, and a membership committee was formed, •le. .bership in this new Association Included free use of showers and athletic equipment, free ad- ml.'tion to all local games sponsored by the As- sociation. half price admission to games and contests between local and outside teams aud bait price to all entertainments under the auspices of the organization. Membership dues were fixed at one dollar for each individual and five dollars a month for each ! organiza.ion holding membership as a group. The High School was admitted to the Association through the group system, the Student Body membership cards being recognized and given the same privilege� as community association cards The flrst big attraction obtaiued by the associ- ation wa the third of a series of baseball game� between Orovllle and Susanvillo for the cham pionship of Northern California. The second was a very excellent entertainment by the Jubilee Minstrels. Then came two wrestling matches for the light-heavyweight championship between Bill Mahler of Susuuviilc sud Mike Yokel, holder or the championship belt. This match was followed by anothor between Mohler and Dave Jones, u challenger for the championship. Ted Thye of Cortland. Oregon, secured tho championship belt by defeating Yokel ami he was then brought in to wrestle Mohler. Outside critics have staled that no town In the country twice the six of Westwood could boast of such a classy wrestling program. Through the good offices of the association all tho lodges and organizations comblncu in bold- ing a monster Christmas tree for Westwood’s llttla ones, and so great a success was It that not a child In town was overlooked. In order to entertain our citizens other than athletic fans. Ople Read, America's best beloved Community Association In January of 1923 tho Y.M.C.A. sent a sec- retary to Westwood to establish a branch of Its organization. The Red River Lurabor Com- pany, with its usual generosity, turned over to the local committee the Auditorium, rent, light aud heat gratis, to be used' as an indoor play- ground and recreational hall. An addition was then built In which were hot and cold showora. and lockors were installed aud equipment for basketball and indoor baseball and volley ball was purchased. In spite of a strong member- ship committee which was appointed there was not the usual respouse by the community, only sixty-live members having been enrolled. Differ- ent membors of the committee reported they had met a decided opposition to tho ”Y itself, which author aud lecturer, was secured to give an eve- ning of story, wit and humor. It can bo safely said that no entertainment was ever more en- joyed in Westwood. Shortly before the Ople Read lecture the As- sociation had succeeded in wiping from the slate all obligations. Several hundred dollars have been invested In roller skates and so strongly has the craze taken hold of the community that tho Auditorium is operating three evenings, two afternoons and one morning to accommodate the skaters. The policy of the Association Is to provido Westwood with the best amusements nnd entertainments avail- able and to use its utmost endeavors to make the home life of Westwood as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. —CHARLIE MITCHELL. EDITORIAL PAGE SEVENTEEN Civics and High School Citizenship School used to he considered merely a training for life jum as civic lessons were training for fu- ture citizenship. But the school period is truly a part of ones lift, and in that period one can be a good citizen oi a poor citizen as one chooses und ac- cordingly as civics helps one understand what good citizenship should be. The civics assignments are not merely things to be learned and recited parrot fashion, and then put aside at the end of that period. So keenly is the idea felt that the practical use of good citizenship in all school relations is truly a part of the civics work that in some schools the grade for civics which appears on the report card is divided between the actual class work in that sub- ject and the citizenship displayed throughout the school day. Since student body «elf government has become almost universal in high schools it has served as the most valuable supplement possible to the study of civics. The ideas about interest, pride, and par- ticipation in und resja.nsibility for government can be pul in actual practice. Even where there i no student body self govern- ment either good citizenship or poor citizenship can be displayed in their relations to their fellow pupils and to the faculty, in their support of school affairs, anti in their pride for the reputation and standing of their institution. The study of civics is highly important and cer- tainly if a text is well understood the knowledge presented in that civics text will be put into actual use in school and not merely laid on a shelf to be used after the pupil has attained the age of twen- ty-one.- I illiax Cartier-Graham. The present school year hus not been particu- liarly marked by special achievements in any cer- lait W bile our athletic standing is perhaps nut a.« high .is could be desired, let it be remem- bered that our boys nnd girl have been required to maintain a passing grade hi each of four sub- jects. In comparison to the requirements of other schools, of passing in three subjects, it is readily seen that the Westwood player ” have first had to be workers. Each month a record of the grades of all Stu- dents who have attained an average of 90 percent or above, is made and jiosted. The honor roll is limited to the ten student � of this group who have the highest averages. Any others are recognir.d by honorable mention. Five students earned places on the honor roll for the first month, and the number of candidates has constantly increased until it has reached twenty for the past month. A synopsis of these groups furnishes an interesting study. In the Freshmen group, Susan Allen has twice been on the honor roll. Pansy Milani, three time , and Marjorie Brown, six times. The Sophomore class has been represented by Milton Rosentretcr, once by Ellis Minshall, three times, and by Irene Boshoff und Elsie Steed every month. Elsie has twice headed the list with 93.5 and 96.5, while Irene has held first place two months with 96.2, and tied for first a third time with 96.2. Irene has also the honor of a record free from absence or tardiness for the 7 months, with no grade below a one-minus or 92.5 per cent. The Junior class has been well represented by Frances Simpson and Angeline Petterson once each, by Maryann Martin, twice, by Dorys Drake, three times, by Laura Chnflin and Fred Davis five times. The Senior representation on the honor roll con- sists of four times for Floyd Myers, six for Stan- ley Davis and five for Ruth Jensen. Had it no , been for Ruth's absence for several weeks, clue to illness, she would undoubtedly have been on the honor roll the other two months also. Ruth headed the roll for two months with 95 and 93.7 and tied with Irene for first place another time, with 96.2. Ruth’s record shows no grade throughout her high school course below one-minus or 92.5 per cent. In uddition to the name mentioned above, the following students have received honorable men- tion: Pauline Minshall, Rosemma Priest, Hugh Adams, Helen Morrison, Kenneth Lofstedt, Edward Felion, Emmaline Allen. Alma Rice, Myrtle Fuller, and Una Durham. There will very probably be u number of ad- ditions to these lists in the two remaining month . We are proud, and justly so, of our honor rolls for the seven months. There should be keen eom- petition for the schlorships in the future. Ruth Jensen's average computed to the end of lust semester is 94.8 per cent for the entire course. This makes her the Valedictorian of the Senior class. Stanley Davis comes second with an aver- age of 90.8, which makes him the Sulutatorian. H. I). M. The Box Factory and School The Red River Lumber Company Box Factory at Westwood is one of the plant’s most productive units. From the finest stock for cherry boxes, which must be without u single flaw in order not to bruise the luscious fruit which it will carry, to the huge ends and sides of boxes for packing oil can , the box factory saws cut them all with an efficiency which ranks among thu best in the land. I t us follow some of the boards through the factory. First of all. the transfer brings a load of lumber from either the sheds or the planing mill and deposits it at the cut-off saws. The cut- off saws arc circular cross cut saws mounted on a rigid frame and each run by an individual motor. The board is placed on a movable table running at right angles to the saw. The sawyer runs the board ahead to the desired length, which is governed by metal stoj� s placed on a low frame, and then throws his weight against the table and the board is cut off. The man that takes the short lengths from the table is called the tail-off-man. It is his duty to keep the boards separated into the right pile according to length and grade. The expert cut-off man must needs think quick and act quicker. His eye must detect a crack or streak of pitch in the board in a fraction of a second, must he bo able to tell White Pine, Sugar Pine, ami Fir from each other. A good cut- off man is one that is highly paid in the factory. As the main product of the box factory is neces- sarily box shook, let us follow a piece of lumber that will end up as the side of a box that is used for packing fruit in, know in box factory language as 91-P sides. This piece as it comes from the cut-off saw, is 17 Vi inches long. 1 Vi inches thick, and it may be anywhere from 5.% inches to 9 inches wide according to the width of the board from which it was cut. At the cut-off saw, the board is loaded with hundreds of others just like it on a four wheeler truck and hauled away to the band rip saw. This saw is a vertical band saw revolving at the terrific rate of 2500 revolutions speed that requires about 1 Vt seconds to rip a 17 Vi inch board. At this saw, the board is ripped down to 5 inches and placed upon another truck. When the board has been cut into the . desired widths it is again placed on the truck and taken I to the big resaws. There are two types of resaws, the horizontal and vertical. On the horizontal saws two hand saws vun parallel to each other and the board is shoved through by rollers. The prin- cipal of the vertical saws is the same except that the saws run parullcl to each other and up and down. At these saws the board is cut from one piece 6-4 inch thick in four pieces 3-1« inch thick. As the boards come from the saws they art placed upon racks nnd tied with common haling wire. From the resaws, our hoard now in the same bundle with fifty others just like it, is sent to the shook warehouse, unless there is an immediate demand for that particular kind of shook. In this case the shook is sent directly into the car to he loaded. We must not gain the impression, however, that packing box shook is the only brand cut. Peach boxes, crate stock, dried fruits, apple, oil. cherry cannery stock, and many more, in all making about fifty different kinds of shook are manufactured. Perhaps it would he well to state here that only the best lumber is handled in the factory. The tailings from the band saws in the planing mill and other places are brought over to the factory and converted into shade roller stock, all kinds of lath and carstraps and many other forms of sal- able material. In this bustle of activity and work there i nothing wasted. The sawdust from the sows i� all sent through huge fans and blown over to the suwdust pile or boiler room. The larger scraps from the cut-off saws arc sent up to the block house to be sold to the people of Westwood for fuel at u very reasonable price. The scraps from the saws, too small for wood, are sent out to the hog to be chewed up into small pieces and blown to the sawdust pile. The hog is a big steel cylinder 80 inches in diameter carrying thirty- six steel knives. This cylinder travel at the rate of about 1500 revolutions per minute. Boards 3 inches thick are chewed up like a sheet of paper in the mouth of a billy goat. So we see that while the work of turning out the material to make thousand of boxes daily goe on thoroughly and steadily, there is nothing wasted, not even the scraps from the smallest cleat machine in the factory. Let us apply this .o our school lives. Let our lumber be the brains .hat our great Creator gave us and from this lum- ber let ux turn out products of which we can be ustly proud. Let us make the scraps of time and energy count just a little toward driving our men- tal wheels round and round with a steadiness of purpose that will get us somewhere. Let our men- tal mechanism be well oiled with plenty of good healthy play and fun, but be careful that we do not flood our minds with the wrong kind of fun and make our minds grow cold nnd dead. Let u pick our friends with ull the care and thought that the cut-off man gives a piece of A No. I Cherry stock. Aye. and more too. because a board if cut wrong, can be cut over again, but a habit once made, may possibly be broken, but the faint re- membrance of that habit remains, ready to flare up into a flame and send us back into the old ways at the least relaxation of vigilance. Ami last, but not least, comes the one command. Watch yourself.” As a sawyer on one of the huge resaws watches his great saws as they howl and scream through the boards, watching with a never relaxing vigil their actions and cor- recting the tiniest fault; so let us watch ourselves, refusing admittance to evil thoughts and habits and stamping out the flames of anger and passion hh they rise within us. Let us not he afraid to apologize for a mistake made. A coward may well i sneak out the back way in time of trouble hut it lakes a brave man to face the music. If you think that you are right, keep going until you have lost the battle, and having lost it. be enough of a man to acknowledge yourself beaten. Because the battle lost fairly, is worth ten won by unfair mean . E.

This is particularly true in considering the uu- OMlotliable and interior races. These luclude the peoples from southern and southeastern Europe especially, because the percentage of illiteracy is highest in those sections, as well as the Mon- golians. Only white immigrants should be ad- mitted at uil, and then only when a high intell.- gence lest is passed. If such u restriction could he observed, it would nutter little whether tho candidates for citizenship were Nordics or Al- p.ucs. The Oriental should uol be admitted un- der any conditions, other than for travel or study. It is a proven scientific fact that tho white race cannot assimilate the yellow because of its difference in racial heritage. Ideals, cus- toms and standard of life. The same thing ap plies to the brown and black races. Then, too, tho American laborer can not com- pete with the Oriental because of his higher standard of life. The Japauese or Chinese can subsist on food which to another person would be a starvation ration. Not only does the Oriental live on a small amount of food, but he does not require the ordinary housing accommodation- essential to a white family. For instance, in al- most any part of southern California oue can hml the home of the stoliu Japanese. It is very simple, one or two rooms, with an adjoining shed in which implements, horses, seeds and all the rest of the absolute necessities are sheltered. Not always is a house necessary. Sometimes the entire family, which is usually large, finds a suit- able place to sleep among seed sucks or in a rough shelter of boards thrown together in any convenient place. American laborers can uol hope to cope with these conditions. The average American must be well fed. well clolhi-d and well housed, lie must have some form of eutertuiument as well as cer- tam leisuru lime to make up his standard of life. It was because of this difference in the standard of living, which enabled the Japanese to save the greater part of his lucome, that be was able to gain a foothold. The slules of the Pacific coast are the only ones In which the Japanese question has assumed formidable proportions. For many years the Californians have endeavored to obtain relief through Congress, but it was but recently that it was to be had. A bill was introduced iu the House lowering the immigration quota, es- pecially upu . the Japanese. Legislation of this kind is much to be desired, and it is hoped that it will receive favorable propagation. Kuo it immigration is uol absolutely uecos- sary iu America, there is room for more people, if they are of the right kind. • To keep pace with the rest of the nations and for self-protection, a certain measure of this right kiud of immigration is extremely beneficial. The United Statue will always hold her own if the best stock of the white races is admitted, to the exclusion of all others. —K. M. ’24. Such Is Life Pepe was happy. Why not?

Goodbye, country of mine, goodbye, he murmured softly— « I am sorry, my son. but you will have to re- turn to your own home.

Becoming a “Frosh” Dutch. an overgrown Dutch boy, just come from Holland, was always in a slate of suprome surprise at the actxhuns of dem crasy Ameri- can� .'’ While in the eighth grade he heard the boys say that when they were Frosh next year they would show eighth graders how to act. Dutch, iu surprise, asked them, “Now. vot iu tunder las a Vrosh, and vot should you do to be von? Vy.” said one of tho boys In mimicry of his brogue. A ‘Vrosh’ is� vot you call a vlrst grader iu der high school.

Our illustrious Seniors get so wan and weak toward the end of the year that we are going to give them a real honcst-to-goodness banquet, so as to bolster up their spirits until commencement. Ana now that you have heard all we’ve done and are going to do. you probably wonder how such a handful of children could possibly do so much. Simple—quite simple. Have you by any chance seen our class roll? There’s the reason. Eleven girls and live boys. I’ve never realized before how great the fomalo mind was. Our motto Is Carpe Diem” (Sieze Oppor- tunity.) If. next year, we live up to that old saying the Senior Class will be a mighty splen- did class. We, everyone of the Juniors, hope that next year we may be a credit to Westwood High School. We hope that we may do some- hlng really worth whllp and prove ourselves worthy of our places as the leaders of our school. —D. D.. ’25. BOYS’ ATHLETICS (Continued front Page Nine) good start. We were given a return gutue later, but they were not able to coine as close to our score as before. This was perhaps due to the floor, as it is several times larger thau the Greenville floor. The score of this game was 35-12 In Westwood's favor. Our next game was with McArthur. Their floor was a little smaller than ours, but this did uol Interfere vitally with our playing as we came out on the long end of a 32-13 score. McArthur was to have returned the game, but several of their players became ill a day before the game and it had to be postf n� � -d. No other date could be arranged. The day after tne McArthur game the second team played Bleber und took them to a clean- lug” by a score of 23-11. Bieber was game” and wantod to play agaiu, so took the long trip to Westwood where they had worse luck than before.-the score being 37-6, again in our favor. Susanville proved too much for the light- weight team and took them to their first defeat which was a real one, as the score shows. 15-1. When the return game was played in Westwood the results were almost the same, being 14-1 in favor of Susanville. The unlimited team also received their first beating from Susanville. We have no excuse or alibi to offer. We just didn’t play basketball. The defeat. 19-12 did us a lot of good. When the return game was played our team had im- proved a whole lot but not quite enough. With about one minute to play the score stood a tie— both teams did thoir best to get the winning basket and Susanville got it and a free throw besides, and won. 20-17. Cedarville was the next team which Westwood met. The game had to be played in the high school gym, which made it hard for either team to run up a very big score. However, Westwood was able to win by 4 points. The score was 1S- • « • PAGE TWO SKCOND SECTION UTERARY H. We Intended io go to Cedarville and retura the game. but I lie weather would not permit. We played Altura the next night, which was a lot easier than we expected. We always con- sider this our big game. At the end the score stood 29-14 which gave us our second successive victory from our best-liked rivals. The boys were able to go to Alturas for a return game al- though the roads were In pretty bad condition. If we had tuken our toboggans along wc could have hail a lot of fun. We did lake on a littlo foot- ball' up on the plains to loosen up but this proved to be a very slow game as the mud was very atlrky. When we arrived in Alturus we were ready to play basketball. The lightweights were given the tirst ehanee to see what they could do and I guess they are still looking, for they were beaten b a score of 28-12. The unlimited team started out fairly good and were in the lead at the end of the first half, hut when Alturas got loose we had even greater difficulty In seeing the llnal score.

The High School is a building of two stories and a basement. The basemeut has a gymna- sium with girls and boys' dressing rooms, equipped with showers. The kindergarten has a large, well equipped room on this floor. The tirst floor has four class rooms, and a kitchen accomodating sixteen girls and a sewing room with five sewing machines. The second floor has two class rooms, a large assembly hall which has a stage for small dramatic produc- tions, and which serves as a study hall, a large art room and a well-equipped laboratory for Science work. The Grammar School is a fully equipped building of thirteen rooms, modern In every re- spect. There are about five hundred and twenty pupils iu the Grammar School. The Manual Training Shop has a good assort- ment of the best tools. In addition to benches for twenty boys there are several modern machines. These include a Jointer, a table saw, drill press, mortice machine and a lathe, ail of which are electrically driveu. Tho attic of the shop is used for storage of lumber.

Immediately following this ordeal we became acquainted with our superior , the Jolly Soph- omore . The ttr� t few week these meet tugs with them ure more or leas embarrassiug for u . We certuiuly huve to be on our good behavior and be most eutertaining. There is only one consoling feuture of this part of our reception into college, it ouly applies to the boys. In oue place can be seen a Fresh” pushing eggs across the street with his nose, which seem to be a very humorous stunt—for the Sophomore . In an- other plaeo may be seen a poor bashful fellow, with trouser rolled to the knee and shirt-tail dangling from beneath his coat, worn in reverse style, on hi knees ardently proposing to some upper class queen. There are many other forms of hazing and all for the purpose of making the Freshmen ridiculous. After this was over and wc were full fledged Frosh we began to observe more boldly about us. We found that the affairs of the university are governed the same as in High School ouly on a much larger scale. There is a president, vice- president. secretary, etc., elected at large by the student body, who hold office for one year, and who have charge of the Associated Students of the University of California aud the different committees of student control, such as the execu- tive committee, welfare committee and the stu- dent affairs committee. Of course, we Frosh do not understand all about its workings, but «very year helps and as we go along we grow older iu (lie ways of government. The biggest thrill I experienced my first senic ter in college was the California-Stanford foot- ball game. I Just can t tell you about it. You have to see one to feel It. but anyhow it was simply great (seeing we won.)

Reno. Nev.. April 3. 1924. Dear Kditor: I am very glad to say a few words concerning college life and how I am making out. College llfo, what does it mean to some people? To some it Is Just an advanced school for studying; to others a place to have a good time, and to still others It is of no value at all. At college one studies and has a good time also. Oue can go to college and make nothing of himself, but It is not the fault of the college that ho has failed to take advantage of tho opportuuitles offered him. The student who has determined and intends to become somebody will succeed iu the end. There may be many stumbling blocks. 1 have found that out for-myself and will probably keep on running into them, but I know that in order to accomplish some good later on I must over- come these little things. These stumbling block do not occur altogether In studies, but In the Sophomore Wisdom (Continued F'rom Page 6) what the masters of the House are trying to do for us—for we have considered them as masters rather than friends; but our wisdom which is much greater at the end of this year, makes us see. in part, (hat they are much more friends than musters. And we discovered that our erstwhile friends, the Juniors, are still our friends, though they are high and mighty Seniors. Isn't it too had that they are soon to write their word or two” and pans into the night? Such is the way of the world, though, and next fall we will find another Senior class beginning to got ready for the night When we first entered this House of Knowl- Alumni (Continued from Page F'ourteen) It seemed as though I’d never And my way about the rumpus and learn the names of the various buildings and where they were situated so 1 would know where to tlnd my classes. But when once started, after a good deal of pushing, things skipped merrily along and I soon became accus- tomed to college llfo. One nightmare you’re sure to have is the Sub- ject A examination. If you’re lucky you’ll pass and If not you must cheerfully part with ten dol- lars more of that hard earned cash for another chance to take it. This prettv nearly broke my heart, who over heard of such a ridiculous thing? social and athletic lines which contribute, to n y inind at leant, one-third of college education. It is therefore Important that one should become acquainted with these things at the same time that he or she is making the necessary academic units. When a student tirst goes to college he is very green” in the art of studying, although he may- think he knows well enough. At college you are managing your own aeroplane and unless you know how to run it you do not get very far. You are left to yourself. The instructor does not keep telling you to do your work, you either do It or you are out luck as the saying is. A student must first learn how to Mtudy and think for himself when he enters college. He will find it advisable to budget his time so that the courso will not suffer because of too much at- LITERARY SECOND SECTION PAGE THREE tentum given something else. He will loam ta take books written by vurlous authors: he will draw his own conclusion� and apply the infor- mation thus gained to his own particular prob- lems. College either makes you or breaks you. It is .■ Une place to find out whether you are worth anything and I certainly feci that any chance a person gets to attend college should not be over- looked for it will be regretted later. The Westwood High School Scholarship fund is a very practical means of encouraging the seniors to iro on and finish their courses. It is indeed worth striving for. In uwurding one of these scholarships an added Incentive is given the recipient. He must make good, not only for his own sake hut for that of the school. It certainly has been a great help to me and I sin- cerely hope that the rund will continue to grow and open the door Tor many future graduates of Westwood High School. Sincerely. J. CARKIATO. Freshman Scholarship (Continued from Page Seven) are available, hut they give a fair idea of the general average of the class. Ileginuing with the first month of the school year we have post d a Freshman Honor Unll each time grades were given out. During the pas’, six munths twenty-three Freshmen have earned only child and when he died he left me all of his property, including the ship. He hud never allowed me to be a sailor and as that was my greatest desire 1 was quite overjoyed at this op- portunity uuw offered me. Having an abundance of wealth to keep me comfortably the rest of my life, I decided to sail the seas lu quest of adventure. I did not like the idea of going alone, however, so I invited a friend to go along with me. and. being a sailor and a very reckless one. he accepted. So one sunny morning lu April we set out on that ne'er- to-bo-forgotten voyage. We sailed for two or three weeks not knowing or caring where we wont. Late one afternoon one of the men sighted land and the anchor was dropped. We did not go ashore that night, how- ever, because wo did not have time to pitch camp. The next moriilng the long boat was lowered and the whole crew went ashore with provisions to last several days. The shore was smooth and sandy, but after traveling a short way inland we discovered that the island was rocky. There were also dense forests and we saw a great many monkeys play- ing in the trees. Finally wo found a spring and pitched camp after which the whole company hiked off Into the wilderness to see what we could And. It was dusk when we returned and being very hungry as well as tired, we set ubout getting supper. One of the men took up a bucket and went to the spring, which was about an eighth of a mile from camp. He had not been gone long places on their class honor roll. To earn this recognition one must be passing In all subjects when , ,hriek rent the „r whlch fr0re'the blood lu our veins. Presently the men resumed their and must have a general average of at least SO per cent. The first mouth there were only six candidates. The sixth month there were nine- teen, seven of whom had an average of 9« per cent or bettor, and three of those seven held places on the school honor roll. Marjorie Drown headed the list for five con .•cui.vu i .«mills und the sixth mouth was forced (O ylef (It first place lo Pansy Ml la ul whose aver- age of 9 per cent gave her a two point lead tasks but they cast sidelong glances of terror as they worked. After some time had passed and the water carrier did not return, we became anxious as to his welfare. I persuaded some of the men to accompany me and started out to search for hitu.

Dick Drown has been an ever present member of the class honor roll and has several limes given keeu competition to candidates for posi- tions on the school honor roll. Victor Scammou has also been a consistent point winner. He has always been one of the 80 per cent or better class. Melford Kupps has Ave times found a place on the class list. We expect his name to appear on the assembly hall bulletin board before long. Pansy Milan! has made four appearance� in the Freshman Who'� Who list and two on the school list. Kmtnaline Allen is slowly but surely working her way up to the tap. She has hud her name on the class list four times. The past month has shown such derided progress that we expect her to soou gather in more laurels for herself and her class Susan Allen has evidently been hiding her taleuts and abilities hut last month she decided to give them free rein. When the reports were all in and the grades averaged It was found that she not only ranked third in her class but was also one of the three Freshmen whose averages were among the ten higiieat in school. Helen Morrison lias also won one of the much coveted places on the honorable mention list. Her average for the past month was 90 per cent. Edward Fellon last month reached tho 90 per cent mark. Let's see you go over the top. Toots. The Isle of Missing Men This is a story from which I hope some foolish boy like myself may acquire some good My father wus a seaman. He owned his ship und he had sailed almost every sea. i was hi� man for whom we were searching. The men who were with me. Ailed with terror at this horrible sight, took to their heels lu the direction of the camp. They left the lantern and by its feeble light I searched for some sign of the one who hud committed this crime. But uot Undiug any because of the thick bed of leaves which left uo •.print or other clue, I took up the body and went back to camp. The men's nerve were shattered and they were intent on returning to the ship: but Anally 1 persuaded them to stay—for I wanted to solve this mystery. 1 afterward wished that wo had left, for two days later a storm came up and the anchor line of the ship was broken and the ship was driven on the rocks and disdbk-u. As time went on and we did not bear that horrible scream again our fears were somewhat allayed. 1 was determined to discover the cause of our comrade's death, so I moved on into the interior with a part of the men while the rest stayed behind to repair the ship. We had pushed through the deuse undergrowth for several days when we came to a small lake by which there wus a spring of cool, clear water. We decided pitch camp here and rest our tired bodies. We stretched'out on the soft leaves and were soon fust asleep. When 1 awoke It was late In the afternoon and I turned to direct the men to pre- pare supper. Dut to my astonishment they were not there. I looked around for a clue to thoir absence but could see none. I could not see which direction they had taken, for again no tracks or other signs were left on the Icarcs. I was wondering what I should do when that terrible shriek came to my oars; and thon as if this were a signal, an awful din of terrible noises broke upon the air. I was shaking with t -ar but not knowing what else to do, and thinking that lh men might be In trouble, I started In’ the direction from which the noises hud come. I had been walking for ages it seemed, when I heard the noise again. This time I was in the very midst of them aud though I peered through the bushes in every direction I could see nothing that might hnve given voice to such heart-rending sounds. Thon suddetily I heard a thud behiud me and a pair of hairy arms closed around my face and neck. I struggled for breath, but that strong grip did not relax and presently all went black. I had fainted. When I regained consciousness I was In a very dark place. It was narrow and 1 assumed that It was a natural tunnel which must lead some- where out to the light. I stood up and with arms outstretched I felt my way along the winding tunnel. Suddenly I stopped out into space and I shot down. down, down, until what seemed to me minutes later I struck something and I found myself half buried in soft, slimy mud. At tho same time I heard a loud growl. There being enough light now so that I could see a little, I started wading through the mud as fast us I could, the roaring animal floundering after. He gained rapidly and was almost upon me when I ugalu shot into space. I thougTit my hour had come, but presently 1 plunged into deep water; aud I came to the surface Just In time to see my pursuer fall on a rock by my aide. I looked about me and perceived a shaft of light down the stream. 1 swam toward It and was able to squeeze through the openiug. To my delight 1 found myself outside the cave and I crawled upon the bank of the stream still alive but exhausted. Dut now another problem confronted me. I did not recognize any land mark and 1 believed myself to be many milos from the camp and the ship. I had no food or water. I picked up my weary body and started walking. I had not gone far when 1 saw a camp in a small clearing. Who,” 1 asked myself. Is ramping here in this wilderness? 1 crept stealthily Into the camp and to my astonishment und delight I saw my men who were repairing the boat. 1 told them of my adveutures and of the mysterious disappearance of the other men. After wulting in vain for several days for the unfortunate men we set sail, never to return again. —C. K. '26. About Women There are two stages in the llfo of women— when they are girls and after they have become sophisticated. I shall tell you about both. (Hrls are the sisters of boys, have bobbed hair and wear dresses and powder and rouge. Most every family has one girl in It and some have two or three. Wo have a girl in our family who is my sister. Girls grow older aud gel younger. My sister, before she was married, was twonty- two for three years and 1 was afraid that some day we might be twins. Girls play the piano and talk about the boys, and the funny thing about it is that they can all talk at the same lime and not miss a thing that Is boing said. Thin girls want to get fat and ful ones want to gel thin, and they all want to marry either Ramon Na- varros or Rudolph Valentinos. Why girls wore mude, nobody knows, unless it was for the boys lo have something to spend money on. Dut they aro clever, we'll have to haud it to them for that. When they get u hold on one of us insects, they cleverly guido us to a movie house and while the screen hero says, liable, let me be your permanent meal tlckol,” we so far lose our heads as to whisper, Them's the very words I've been wanting to say for six years, but could never think of 'em.

Forest Fires One should lie careful when In the woods, and not he careless with lire. Forest tires may he started la a number of different ways. The most common cause Is the carelessness : f the camper who iAnves his fire “for a minute. as he says. It doesn't take many of these minutes to start a large forest lire, hut It takes many hours to check one. There are many picnickers who leave the picnic grounds thinking that a few ember� could not possibly start a forest fire, but every unprotected spark of lire counts in our forests. Another cause is carelessness with matches. When a match is thrown down one should he curcful that it Is not still burning. Then there Is the thoughtless motorist who throws his lighted cig- arette out of the automobile. It may fall in the dust and cause no harm, but it may also fall into the dry grass and pine needles. Sometimes lire creeps under the pine needles for many days without being noticed, until it has obtained great headway. A forest tire is a sight never to he forgotten it is no fascinating In Its beauty, but oh. so ter- ribly destructive. At lirst a small puff of smoke is seen, hut before long large -volume of smoke are rolling into the sky. and the Haines are eat- ing their way Into the forest. It makes one heartsick to see tile lieauliful. line limber so de- stroyed. not only for tin- econo in Ic loss, hut how bluck and dismal the forest is afterwards. We wish our forests to he show places for our visitors, and not lie ugly, black eyesores. When once a forest has been destroyed by lire it takes many years for It to grow up green and beautiful again. If everyone would take to heart the Forest Re- serves' motto, YOU. Help Prevent Fires, there would be less of this ruthless destruction in our beautiful forests. —G. 1 '26. A Firelight Story Come oil. Crunddaridy, said small Jimmy. I want an Indian story before I go to bed. The IIrelight flickered and a huge log burst Into flame betraying the forms of the silvery- haired grandfather and the interested Jimmy who was perched on the arm of the old gentle- man ’s chair. “AII right, lad. replied the old gentleman. I have a story tonight that I have never told you before. Come and cuddle in my lup and I will tell It to you.” When wo were crossing the plains from Pennsylvania Iu 1836. our supply of meat became limited and we were obliged to make camp some- where in Nebraska so that the men could hunt. My brother. James, and I were Just small boy then, he being fourteen and I eleven, so we were exempt from the hunt. Arter the usual fashion of drawing our wagons into u circle, we made camp. Our camp site was ut the foot of u tall bluff, much to the delight of Jim aud I, for we had great fuu in gaining the top of the bluff and viewing the country. At lirst w« were very cautious when we left camp as we feared the Indians whom we knew lived on the plains. However, as we grew arcus , turned to the country we lost our fear und each da wandered a little farther. One day we dis covered a river and for adventure, we followed It. The day was cold, for It was in the Intter part of October and we could see thin sh'eets of Ice forming on the river. Ye Were so excited at the prospects of ice skating, that' we were In camp before we knew It. You can Imagine our sur prise at Hading that the river was none other than the one which flowed by our camp. At Intervals all night we drew our heads from the bed clothes to feel the nip of the frosty air and by morning, we were so thoroughly ex- cited that we could hardly wait to start. It was bitter cold and the ice was smooth as glass, so artef stuffing our pockets with the meager fare of the ramp, we headed up the rivor. Farther and farther we went, forging Into wilder country with every stroke, hut we did not notice anything in our wild joy. Presently Jim cried out. Look at that big crack ahead. About twenty feet ahead of us. a break of about ten feet in the ice was to be seen. From the broken lilts of Ice that were floating around it was evident that horses had recently passed through the river. Jim thought It would he a great adventure to follow the horses’ tracks, but I hud a strange presen tument of danger und begged that we re- turn to camp. Our conversation was interrupted. however, by a rustling sound in the willows. We were both almost petrified on the spot. With fright- ened glances we scanned the immediate banks and turned uround to flee, but were suddenly caught and dragged to the bank. Indians! We were taken to a camp some distance from the river and commanded by a dashing young brave In broken English, Show chief to walk river. We deducted from this speech that we had probably Tieen watched for some time while skating. Jim and I tied our skates on the chief ami one of his braves and proceeded to teach them some strokes. Itecause of their soft moccasins, their procedure was labored and very unsuccess- ful. Finally the chief made some muttering sound to his brave who in turn told us to put on th� skates and demonstrate tho strokes. Jim und I joined hands and started to skate la circles, our position on the Ire being far above the break of which we were captured. We both seemed possessed with the same Idea and accord- ingly widened our circles every time around. Finally our circle grew to a fifty-foot radius so Upon reach lug the curve on the downstream He, we loosened hands and started campward. The hideous hole loomed In front of us and we knew that having to climb the hank to gel around it might lose us our chance of escape. Nevertheless, we each made for the hank and la- boriously worked our way to the Ice on the other side of the hole. We could hear the blood curdling cries of the Indians; the heavy beats of the horses' hoofs as we were pursued. I began to cry—my feet were so sore and my entire body ached with fatigue. could see Jim’s big legs taking him farther and farther ahead of me. I Tell � o lonely, so afraid —«r- Jimmy, boy. are you not listening? The fire bad died down, only a few coal re- maining on the hearth. Nestled close in his grandfather’s arms was Jimmy, sound asleep, with a look of contentment on his tired little faro. Well, I'll be blessed, the little lad could not even stay awake to hear how we got back to comp. Oh. well—that will furnish a story for some other evening. I’m sleepy myself, so I guess I will carry the kiddie upstairs and retire. —R. J. 24. College Life Obtaining a college education does not merely consist in work. Participation in college activi- ties is at least half of a college education und It tends to broaden the mind and the outlook on life in general. It is true it requires a great deal of study to get through, but there Is always some tlme left for pleasure, time to enjoy the many activities that a college campus affords. Among the activities, football may be classed as the most important. Football games are wonderful, they are so thrilling and exciting. A student should never miss them. Then there are various minor athletic events, such as baseball, basketball and track. There are always held at an opportune time for the students to attend. At tho big rallies, held before big athletic events, college spirit is Instilled Into the students, or per- haps I should say baked, for such large bonfir«-s uro built that it is necessary to hold papers up to keep the heat from hlisterlng the face. The many social functions held at college, play a very importuni part, for they enable the stu- dents to get their minds off their studies, to get out. get acquainted, and have a real good time. College night dances are given every two weeks and any student may attend for the small sum of a dime. Anyone planning to attend college should not form the opinion that he is doomed to four years of solid work, for such Is not the case. There are many activities which afford much Murgaret Jacobsen.

For the past four years her head has beeu so rapidly swelling with her accumulation of knowledge that it has now assumed the most alarming pro- portious in each of eight Individual parts, and has caused all those who know her great uueasl- n.-ss lest it should burst and scatter broadcast its treasures of knowledge. She bus suffered many dizzy spells, caused We believe by the great heights to which she has climbed In her pursuit of knowledge. She Is ex- tremely nervous, and suffers frequent lapsus of memory. Her overworked brain has begun to wander even more than usual. In addition to all this she still carries many wounds to her vanity, received from unexpected failures and mistakes! scars which have not yet been completely oblit- erated. and many bumps and bruises, results of stumbling while attempting to run too fast and outstrip her competitors or climb above the aver age. Year by year she hns grown smaller and her burdens heavier. Undor these conditions who could wish her to linger longer? A short time ago a consultation of wise and learned specialists was called to diagnose her rase. When they saw the seriousness of her condition they gave her many tests und examina- tion . but they declared her to be in the last stages of excess Information on the brain and that she could not possibly last longer than the evening of June 5. 1924. Her heart, with all Its eight throbbing pulses, is heavy with the thought of the parting soon to come, and we ask you that you bear with her during the time she remains with us. and remem- ber only the good that she has done. Class of ’25 Fourteen Points The day saw nur team ready. And awfully full of pep; We really were so anxious That we made the teachers step. We were on our way to Susanvllle, To play a long sought game. We hoped before another day A victory to gain. The Junior Class, on one bright day. Marched down tho hall In grand array. All, in appearance, were very Hue Ah one by one they foil in lino. Rudy came first, a great sheik was lie. Who tried to vamp Laura at afternoon tea. Then we heard voices in loud contempt, Twas Pcrsky and Marty In hoi argument. Next cauie our treasurer loaded with dough. Which showed that wo wore not very slow. Carolina came with his curly lock And turned around to wave at Doc. Following closely behind were Dot and Hun. Who now and then would softly hum. While Toots kept time with chewing gum. Sparky came slowly ambling by And then Miss Flint with head flung high. Fall!. Ducky. Bud and Dolly Wound up the party that seemed most Jolly. —R. P.. '26. High School Orchestra The liigb School Orchestra was reorganized i’ the beginning of the school year for the doubl • purpose of assisting the school ilnancially and t aid and encourage the development of musical talent In the school. Its addition as a school ac- tivity has been a long and much needed one. Its assistance has been much appreciated in enter- taining visiting competitors, a school dances, en- tertainments and various meetings. Much credit for the success of the orchestra is duo to the efforts of its leader. Miss Fern Stitser. Much credit Is also due to the members; Piano. Josephine Pcaslee; saxophones, Stanley Davis and Kenneth Lafstedt; cornet, George Chiptnan; banjo, Enrl Lane; drums, Jesse Swann. —S. D.. '24. Early Morning The early morn is the best of day. Then's when you feel the breeze. Then's when the birds sing swowtest songs Amid the silent trees. The dew sparkle o’er the grass aud leaves Where none can e'er disturb their rest. The fawn drinks at the river's brink. Because he knows this time Is the best. The sun is pe klng o'er the hill. Tinting tho skies with brilliant light. But all too soon the calm is gone, Taking tho silence in its flight. —G. L. '26. When we arrived in town that day. The time seemed very slow. But Miss Neill just smiled and said, 'Savo your pep. then go. At last the night of nights was hen And we all wont to tho fray. And as we had some rooters there. Everyone was feeling gay. The whistle blew and game began. How fast the teams did play. We held our rivals down that half. That, at least, they let us say. When the whistle blew for the second half. We still had lots of vim. Though we played hard they beat us square. They. too. were in good trim. By fourteen points they beat us. Fourteen points to their fame; But all we said was wait aud see. Next year we hav i a game. Fourteen points ha tho Treaty of Peace. Which brought Wilson's name to rume; But the fourteen points that we know best Were those at the end of that game. -yj. L.. ’2«. Nothing to do but work.

Nothing to sing but songs; Ah! well, alas and alack! No where to go but on; No where to come hut back; Nothing to see but sights Nothing to quench but thrist. Nothing to have but what we’ve got. Thus through life we’re cursed. Nothing to strike but a gait; Everything moves that goes; Nothing at all but common sense. Could ever withstand these woes. D. C.

DAM’K IN HONOR OF TIIE AM l l During the Christmas vacation it was thought suitable to give a dance in honor of our Alumni. |� oor Alumni! Everyone was sleepy or tired, and the refreshments proved to be the only interest- ing uciileiil of the entire evening. ST I DENT I JOI Y DANCE After Christmas the Student IJody gave an- other dance and from all reports it was one of the most enjoyable of the season. Punch was served ami the High School Orchestra played. l-’ROKII It ETC IlN PARTY On the 29th nt February the Freshmen returned their reception with a Ia ap Year Party which prov-il exceedingly popular with the girls. Tho decorations were clever and the party original. A good time was had by all. SOPHOMORE IIOP Although the hoys Insisted that tin Sophomore St. Patricks party he a hard-times dance, the girls favored a strong opposition, and urged the contrary. After many hot arguments, etc., a compromise was reached, tin- hoys coming in liard-tlmcs cusi umes and the girls In party dresses. As tranquility was restored, the evening proved to 'e on� f tin most enjoyable of nil. .M NIOU-SEMOR IJAI.I. The Juniors and Seniors are contemplating giving their party together, although this is not fully dpdded as yet.

The North Far away in tho icy zones. Where the cold winds blow o’er the sea. The wild folk with their pitiful moans llring plaintive sounds to me. Oh, take me not,to this frozen land. Where the foot of man has rarely trod; And the terrible wild rage of the unseen hand I hut the hand of Cod. In this cold and icy north. Where the midnight sun is placed; Hold people venture forth. Thru the vast dark of waste. In every life is a weary waste Of a misspent «lay or week; So let us therefore all make haste The better things to seek. —J. E. P.. ’26. SOCIETY Hi Skule Sirkus Feb. 23, 1924 Auditorium Greatest Show in Captivity Unique Side Shows This is the way Westwood looked about the liftecuth of February. Every square foot of va- cant space in town was plastered with ads for tho greatest show on earth. It was some show, too—a very good main pro- gram. a Jitney dance, food and hot dogs, side shows and noise. She was some blow-out. As everyone know , this Sirkus is an annual event intended to finance the Wcgtwoood High School Scholarship fund from which one or more scholarships are awarded on the basis of character, scholarship and need. Tilts is perhaps the best tiling (he Student IJody docs, as it enables one or two people to at- tend college who otherwise would be unable to do so. Let us hope that each succeeding year will see the Sirkus bigger and better than before. Note to posterity—I ay in a bigger supply of ice cream and pop. G. C. '24. A . Snowstorm Upon reaching the forest, we plodded through he drifted snow wandering farther anti farther .way from our course with every stop. The harsh cutting wind driving the snow, blew through the trees. Sighs and moans were emitted with each sway from tho drooping branches of the pines. Huge drifts telling of the force of the wind piled and gathered around hushes and tree trunks. No sign of life wasto be seen save for an „• occasional rabbit whose hurrying an V Si-tIYrying «cross tho white carpeted earth betray his' fear of the storm. Silence except fur the1 trees, lent to he whole scene n mournful aspect. Weary and footsore we plodded on and were inally confronted with a most welcome sight. A mall shack in a clearing stood at some distance n front of us. Deserted, alone, and ghastly it stood partially drifted over with snowbanks, long icicles hung from its roof. Rude and mean hough it seemed, the thoughts of food and shelter invited us to enter. Thus being free to observe we watched the fury of the storm from n small window of the shack. After a seeming eternity the wind died away, snow Hakes ceased falling and silence reigned again in the forest. R. J. '24. Of Unselfishness Unselfishness is n virtue which shines out ami brightens this world of vices. It is a quality which when possessed brings peace of mind and satis- faction of purpose to the possessor. Unselfishness has been one of the stepping stones to most of the accomplishments of the world. The contributions of men in their various occupa- tions involve such things as material gain and the desire of fame, hut in most cases the desire “to give’’ is the underlying promotor. Prosperity and unselfishness are seldom seen to- gether, the usual companion of unselfishness be- ing poverty. Rut what value have earthly riches n comparison to the riches of the soul? Our Savior always furnishes us with the great- est example of self-denial. Ho was a mortal and the possessor of manly passions and desires, but liis love of the Father and of humanity made TTlm divine. To His unselfishness the world must bow in thanks for the freedom of their souls. R. J. '24. JOKES PAGE NINETEEN ■V- Jol Vincent (reading an editorial for the annual written by Ruth Jensen.)
