Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace. And saw within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold. Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said, What writest thou?” The vision raised its head. And, with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered, The names of those who love the Lord. And is mine one?” said Abou. “Nay, not so,” Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerly still: and said, I pray thee, then. Write me as one that loves his fellow-men. The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night It came again, with a great wakening light. And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,— And, lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest! —Leigh Hunt.

[Fourteen] Class of 1926 in 1940 While I was eating in a Klondike Mining Camp in the heart of the gigantic mountains, a gentleman came in dressed like a city dude, or salesman. He seated himself next to me and gave me a couple of hard looks. When he smiled, two words entered my mind. Those words were Petroleum Akins.” I at once slapped him on the back and said, “Hello, Akins. I mean Atkins. What have you been doing all these years, and have you happened to have seen any of the rest of the gang? Do you remember the last time I saw you?” “Let’s see,” he said, No, I don't believe I do.” Well, when I was in San Francisco, five years after we graduated you and your brother were just finishing a course in Science. What have you done, Dick, quit your profession? And what is your brother doing? And tell me if you know anything about the rest of our Class of '26.” Doggone the luck! There goes the whistle, Dick, old boy. Try and amuse yourself until this evening and I will meet you here and after supper we will talk over old times.” That night while coming down the street, I met Dick with a big smile on his face and a letter in his hand. He said, Do you remember Miss Sexton?” “Who? Virginia Sexton ? Why, yes.” “Well, you see I am a saleman for a large oil concern in the Middle States, a crude oil company, and Miss Sexton is one of the best stenographers in this company which I represent.” He showed me her name at the bottom of his letter from the Manager. “Say, Dick, do you know where Clyde Vernon is or Shiek Sharon?” He laughed, “Vernon is one of the best lawyers in the state of New York. His home is at Long Island. I suppose you know that Clyde is married and has a nice family.” I tried to think who Clyde went with, but he went with so many that I could come to no conclusion. “Joe Sharon is one of the greatest baseball managers in the big leagues. His team has won the pennant for the last five years, and Joe gets big money. “Now, how about Toots Felion? He used to be Elsie Steed’s side-kicker, you remember. Do you know where they are?” Well, the last I heard of Toots he was back in Minnesota on a large farm and doing very nicely; and as for Elsie, I heard she had become a journalist and has become very famous.” “Well,” said I, “I am very glad of that, because she always seemed to be the star in Miss Lord's English 4 Class. I guess you remember that, and if I remember right she was the Valedictorian of our class. I guess she earned it. Where is Fred Morrison? You know who I mean. Monk.” “Oh, Fred is still working in Westwood. He is head camp foreman of all the Red River Lumber Company’s camps. I was in Westwood last year and happened to meet Fred down at the Club, you remember that was our old hang- out; he asked me about you and some of the rest of the gang and he took me to dinner with him.” “Only two of our class are in Westwood. They are Fred and Harry Gilbert. Harry is a bachelor and a good one. Harry took Mr. Frodsham's position as efficiency expert, and is very highly respected by all his friends.” “Earl Lane is in British Columbia and has one of the largest fur farms in the [Fifteen] world; he keeps New York supplied with the largest quantity ever known.’’ Howard Costar is one of our greatest artists. After he graduated he went to Europe and studied art and many of his pictures have been on exhibit in the large museum at Washington, D. C. Howard did all the cartooning for our High School Annual with Earl Lane’s assistance, you remember. Where is Ellis Minshall? It seems that his ambition was to be a coach. I remember he used to help Coach Ashcraft.” Well, Ellis is, and has been for the last nine years, the coach at the University of Illinois. When he left Westwood he went to the University of Illinois and became very popular there, and graduated as a full-fledged coach.” Henry Coyle was always musically inclined and now he is a band director back east.” Victor Scammon after leaving Westwood, took up Construction Engineer- ing and is in charge of a big project in the Canal Region for the U. S. Govern- ment. Lee Ross was always a wizard in Physics, and we always believed he would turn out to be a second Thomas Edison, and he has carried out our wishes. He has made many inventions, both electrical and mechanical, and now he is one of the greatest science professors in Yale College. Ella Shults, was the official Coca-Cola distributor at the Store fountain to the High School gang, but at present she is Private Secretary for the Manager of a large oil company in Kansas.” Lydia McKinney, rather ‘Carrots,’ is in the Secret Service, and also a Newspaper Reporter; that always seemed to be her desire in school life.” Have you ever heard what little Anna Jacobsen is doing?” Yes Anna is a school teacher in St. Paul, Minn. She graduated from some large college in California.” Dick, do you remember our Senior Sneak Day?” I sure do! Wasn’t it a knock-out?” Do you remember who was the sleepy one in the gang that day?” Let me see—I don’t know as I remember. Who was it?” It was Amo Griffith. In all your travels did you ever run across her?” No, I don't believe so, but I read an article in the paper not long ago about her. She was making a trip to Europe with some wealthy merchants from New York to buy and collect some European fashions. She must have a pretty good sense of style to get a position like that.” And as for Clayton Boyer, airplanes were his ambition. The U. S. Government has appointed him to take charge of another flying squadron, to circumnavigate the world. If this is done successfully he will be appointed commander-in-chief of the U. S. Air Service. I sure wish him luck.” How many more of the class are there that I have not mentioned?” Let’s see—Milton.” Oh, Milton, is a mail clerk on one of the fast eastern mail trains. I happened to be in Chicago and saw him for the first time since we left High School. He [Sixteen] looked just the same as ever and after I talked with him for a while I saw right away that he was just as onery as when we held class meetings.'' “Patricia Pratt is a stenographer in the San Francisco employment office of the Red River Lumber Company and I believe she is going to be an old maid.’’ “Last, but not least (not very much), your kid brother, where is he? “Oh, he has become a zoologist at present. He is in the wilds of Brazil collecting specimens. “Well, Dick, I guess you wonder what I am doing up in this lost world. I shall tell you. The government has been having trouble with this mining company, and as I have made a study of this kind of work, and know just how much mineral can be taken from this ground, I was sent up here by government officials: then, again, I guess you wonder why I am working in the mine and not on the outside. Well. I make a record and send it in to the government every week. This mine will be closed down in about two weeks, because of the crooked work going on.” “This is a great life, Dick, but tomorrow night lets me out of here, thank heavens!” “When are you pulling out, old man? “I am pulling out tomorrow also. We will have to take the sleds and dog teams to Dawson: from there we will take a boat to Vancouver. Then we will be back in God's country.” One month later found Dick and me parting at Vancouver. I was headed for Washington. D. C, and Dick for San Francisco. I fe.t a great deal happier to hear about all the gang and I wished the best of luck and health to Dick. Then 1 hoped to meet some one of the gang so I could tell them all the news and fell asleep in time to have the porter come up to me, shake me and say, “Mister, de next stop is Washington Dee See.” —B. C. ’26. 1? A love for a higher purpose, For a betterment of youth. For the young hands and eager hearts Seeking the wisdom of truth. Friendship that is more than passing, Sternness for the ultimate good. Oh, the grief and care. And at times despair, For those that will not try. But the future is fair For those who care For success that is not all fame The ones who stay in the same old rut, Have no one but themselves to blame. —Lee Ross '27. [Seventeen] Class Will Faculty: Now, dear Senior Class of '26, do you feel yourselves to be properly instructed so as to make your way in this cruel, wide, world if we should let you go??? Class of '26: Surely!!! We, believing ourselves to be fully encumbered with knowledge, are anxious to try our wings. And knowing that we compose the wit and—(half wit)—of the school and feeling that it would be wrong to entirely deplete the school of such, do hereby bequeath it to the other classes to be divided evenly, perhaps being a trifle generous to the class of '27. Also feeling that we should have no use for the scholarship trophy out in the world we decided early in the year just to let the three lower classes compete for it, hoping all the time it would land in the hands of the Juniors. Because we are all so clever we have several individidual bequests to make. I, Howard Costar, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to marcel my hair perfectly to Robert Gleason, trusting him to make good use of it. I, Earl Lane, do hereby will and bequeath to Thomas Weitzel my melodious tenor voice, and my sheiking possibilities to Don Sommerville. I, Joe Sharon, do hereby will my jet black hair and five jars of “Gloco” to go with it to Marie Phelon (although she really doesn't need it). I, Richard Atkins, do hereby will and bequeath to Richard Brown all my surplus flesh, and to Einar Knutson my vast oil fields. I. Amo Griffith, do hereby will and bequeath to Marion Huggins my ability to be an all round athlete. I, Milton Rosenstreter, do hereby will and bequeath to James King all my freckles. I, Lydia McKinney, do hereby will to Maggie Martin my ambition to become the first lady governor of California. I, Fred Morrison, do hereby will and bequeath to Lewis June my habit of regularly sleeping in classes (trusting he will not snore). I, Edward Felion, do hereby will and bequeath to Pat Ross my ambitions to become a world famous trapper. I, Patricia Pratt, do hereby will and bequeath to Reinette Fowler my sur plus avoirdupois. I, Elsie Steed, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to draw down ones (l’s) to Cifford Ross. I, Harry Gilbert, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to sheik all the girls to Charles Mollart. I, Henry Coyle, leave to Kenneth Lofstedt my ability to play a sax perfectly. To Mary Tisserand, I, Ella Shults, leave my ability to be a master soda jerker. I, Bill Corbett, do hereby will and bequeath to Donalda Felion my talent as a pianist and to Robert Gleason my talent on the “sliphorn.” I, Virginia Sexton, do hereby will and bequeath to Marjorie Williford my habit of regular tardiness. I, Ellis Minshall, leave my position as President of the Student Body to [Eighteen] anybody who is fool enough to take it. To Thelma Long I leave my golden locks. To Thomas Weitzel, I. Lee Ross do hereby will and bequeath my ambition to be Minnie Martin’s sheik. I, Victor Scammon, do hereby will and bequeath my slender figure to Laverne Payne. I, Clayton Boyer, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to be the teacher s pet to Lois Taylor. To Marion Norton, I, Anna Jacobson, do hereby will and bequeath my sprightliness. I, Clyde Vernon, do hereby will and bequeath anything I leave behind me to anyone who wants it, but would particularly like to will to Frank Swaim my ability to write English themes.

Football was a new sport at W. H. S. and many of the men reporting had never before played the game. With the call for opening practice twenty-four men reported. Of this number nineteen stuck to the end of the season. From this group a squad was developed of which W. FI. S. may well be proud. A record of three victories and no defeats in the first year of competition in any sport is certainly worthy of mention. Much credit must be given to Coach Ashcraft and Assist- ant Coach Pershing for the splendid showing made by the team.

FOOTBALL CUP A fitting conclusion to a successful season came with the presentation to the High School of a silver loving cup by Mr. Fletcher L. Walker. This award given in recognition of the fine spirit shown by the High School during the season just closed is properly engraved with the record of the games and the names of the players. WITH THE LETTER MEN ELLIS MINSHALL, Captain and Center On and off the field Captain Minshall displayed a remarkable quality of leadership showing a spirit of clean aggressive fight, a spirit which was instilled into the entire team. In addition, in every game, he played a stellar game both offensively and defensively. He followed the ball in every play and ran inter- ference well. In the Susanville game particularly this feature of play stood out. On several occasions during the season he was called back of the line to carry the ball and in the final Modoc game called the plays as well. W. H. S. loses a valuable man when he graduates in June. PAUL BRINK, Captain-Elect and Guard In his position Brink consistently played a good offensive and defensive game. He showed himself to be a hard and willing worker, being in the game every minute. He has two more years in Westwood High School and should give a good account of himself. RICHARD ATKINS, Guard Not many of the plays of the opposition got through Atkins’ side of the line. Particularly in the final Modoc game he shone as a defensive guard. [Twenty-five] repeatedly stopping the line plays of the Alturas team. Atkins graduates this year. His place will be hard to fill. EARL LANE. Guard As a guard Lane gave a good account of himself whenever called upon to play. A consistently hard worker will be lost to the team through his grad- uation. EINAR KNUDSEN. Tackle Throughout the season Knudsen showed a keen joy in mussing up the plays of the opposition. His work in this respect was a source of joy to the supporters of the team as well. He has one more year at W. H. S. With the experience gained this year he should next year develop into a smashing, “rarin,” go-getting tackle. RICHARD BROWN. Tackle “Dick'’ played opposite Knudsen and held down his share of the job equally well. Probably no other member of the squad enjoyed making an opponent eat the dirt as did Brown. He too has one more year with the team. This fact alone goes far to assure the prospect of a good team another year. FRED MORRISON, End Monk” showed a remarkable capacity for getting into the midst of the plays of the opposition before they got well under way. This was the source of much consternation to the opposing players and of pleasure to the supporters of W. H. S. He will be lost to the team through graduation. HARRY GILBERT, End Smallness of stature meant nothing with Gilbert. In the center of every play all of the time, he manifested a quality of fight that never quit. Playing opposite much larger men he acquitted himself in more than worthy fashion. KENNETH LOFSTEDT, End and Quarter-Back Early in the season Ken” played an end position and gave a good account of himself offensively and defensively. Later in the season he developed a remarkable punting ability. In the last game of the season against Modoc he played quarter and was called upon to do the punting. His work in this regard was a considerable factor in the decisive defeat given the Alturas team on this occasion, many of his kicks going fifty and sixty yards. He has one more year of high school football. THOMAS WEITZEL, Quarter-Back Weitzel possessed a good knowledge of the game and had the rare faculty of calling the right play at the right time. As a safety man he was a good handler of punts. Tom will be a senior next year. [Twenty-iix] JOSEPH SHARON, Half-back “Joe” possessed a happy capacity for crossing up the opposition on end runs. This was perhaps his outstanding achievement. With this ability, combined with an unusual speed, he was able to make long end runs against every oppos- ing team. As a forward passer he got away with some long and accurate passes. Against a forward passing attack Joe was perhaps the outstanding player of the local squad in breaking up the play. In the final Modoc game he was used as safety man and returned punts for an important gain of yards. CLYDE VERNON, Half Back Vernon was another fast man. He was Sharon's running mate with an equal speed and ability to carry the ball. His best game was a wide end run that gave him an opportunity to use his speed. He shone particularly in the Susan- ville game where he gained many yards. In this game he also handled the kicking end of the game getting his punts away for a good yardage and converting one touchdown. In the first Modoc game he recovered fumble on the Alturas thirty-yard line and carried it over the goal line for a touchdown. This was Vernon’s last year of high school football. EDWARD FELION, Full Back “Toots” played a strong game in every encounter. As an offensive player he made many smashing line bucks. Whenever a few yards was needed to gain a first down he could be depended upon. In addition he was valuable in running interference. This was particularly true in the Susanville game when he dropped opposing tacklers with remarkable regularity. Defensively he showed an unusual strength in backing up the line. He graduates this year and his absence from the line-up will be sorely felt. [Twenty-seven] Sitting: Gilbert, Chipman, Morrison, Vernon (Captain), Lamson, Felion. Standing: Coach Ashcraft.

The first game resulted in a hard won victory for the former by the close score of 20-18; the second in a victory for the same team by a 26-19 score. The girls’ contest resulted in two equally hard fought games. The Senior-Sophomore girls went down to defeat at the hands of the Junior-Freshman girls in two consecutive games by the scores of 13-12 and 6-5. Third games were thus not necessary in either case to decide the school championships. All games were hard fought; the outcome in every case was in doubt until the final whistle; all furnished plenty of thrills for the spectators. Track The interclass track competition this year resulted in a victory for the senior boys and girls with the juniors in second place. High point winners for the meet were Ellis Minshall for the boys with 17 z points, and Adelyn Stout for the girls with 2l i points. [Thirty] First ROW: Ross. Mollart, Dick, King.

As the Chipmunk goes to press the team has played but two games against high school competition. Both of these were played with Greenville as the opposing team. The first of these, played at Greenville, was a hard fought battle which went into the tenth inning before Greenville was able to score the run which gave them the victory by a score of 5 to 4. In this game, Sharon struck out seventeen men. The second game, played on the local diamond, was marked by numerous misplays on the part of the team, as well as by timely hitting by the visitors in the pinches. The game ended with Greenville leading 12 to 6. [Thirty-one] [Thirty-two] Literary A NEW YEAR'S TALK “Here I am,” said the New Year, popping his head in at the door. “Oh, there you are. eh?” replied the Old Year. “Come in, and let us have a look at you. and shut the door after you, please!” The New Year stepped lightly in, and shut the door carefully. “Frosty night,” he said. Fine and clear though. I have had a delightful journey.” “Humph,” said the Old Year. “I don't expect to find it delightful, with this rheumatism racking my bones. A long, cold drive, I call it, but to be sure I thought it pleasant when I was your age, youngster. Is the sleigh waiting? “Yes,” replied the other, “but there is no hurry. Wait a bit, and tell me how matters are in these parts.” “So, So!” the Old Year answered shaking his head. “They might be better, and yet they might be worse. They were worse before I came. I have done a great deal. I expect you to be a good year and follow my example.” “I shall do my best,” said the New Year, “depend upon it! And tell what little there is to do.” “In the first place,” replied the other, “you have the weather to attend to. Be sure you have a clerk to help you in that, but he is not always to be depended upon; there is a great deal of work in the department. The seasons have a habit of running into each other and getting mixed up. The months are a troublesome set too. Then you must be careful how you turn on wet and dry weather. One thing I want you to be careful of is, to watch the leaves that are turned.” “I thought Autumn attended to that,” said his companion. “I don't mean leaves of trees,” said the Old Year, “But at the beginning of every year, half the people in the world say, ‘I am going to turn over a new leaf!’ meaning that they mean to be better in various respects. I know a great many little boys who promised to turn over a new leaf, and not tear their clothes, or lose their jackknife and bring mud in the house on their boots and girls who said they would keep the bureau drawers tidy and keep buttons sewed on. But I haven’t seen much improvement in most of them.” “I’ll attend to it,” said the New Year. “Any other suggestions?” “Well,” said the Old Year, smiling, “I have never found that young people, or young years, were very apt to profit by good advice: Don’t start any new inventions—there have been quite enough lately. Take care of the children and give them all the good weather you can. And now.” he added, rising slowly and stiffly from his seat by the fire, “the horses are getting impatient and my time is nearly up. You will find everything in good shape. You will think I’m an old foggy, as perhaps I am. Well, goodbye, my boy! Good luck to you!” Theodora Trask 1928. [Thirty-three] THE HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS HE EVER EXPERIENCED A newsboy was standing gazing in a window of a large department store, which was very richly decorated with Christmas gifts, consisting of many toys and other beautiful things. The lad stood there, with tears in his eyes wondering if Santa Claus was going to bring him some nice things. The little fellow had been waiting for Christmas, ever since the last one, but his parents were poor and could not afford a large dinner and nice Christmas tree. s he walked along the sidewalk going home that evening, wondering what he could do to make his poor mother and father feel happy, he saw across the street a man breaking into a beautiful home. He raised the window and the boy could see him going on his tiptoes across the room. The boy at once realized what was being done. Rushing down the street he told a man who had .Just bought a paper from him a few seconds before, what was happening. His patron at once ran into a store and called the police. In an instant three large policemen came running down the street and were flagged by the boy and his confidant. The boy repeated what he had seen, directed the policemen to the house, and showed them the window by which the man entered. The house was dark now; not a sound could be heard. The police approached the house leaving the boy on the sidewalk. As the officers disappeared around the house the boy stood near the fence close to the sidewalk. Twenty minutes later the officers came out with the burglar between them. The newsboy emerged from the tree feeling very safe. One of the officers said to him, Come along with us. You are deserving of a little of the credit for capturing this victim.” The boy did not know what it was all about, but followed instructions. They arrived at the police station and after quite a bit of talking between the judge and the policemen, they brought the victim in. The judge said to the lad, My boy, you have reported to us this man who has been an escaped convict for seven years. You are to receive a reward for five hundred dollars to-morrow morning at ten o’clock. The lad's eyes opened wide. He began to think what he would do with all that money. The boy received the money from the police department and his name was published in all the newspapers in the city. The day before Christmas, everything was made ready for a big dinner at the newsboy’s home. He invited three of his little Chums in to celebrate the affair. Christmas morn arrived; the boy was up before day light. He crept into the living room which had never been decorated so beautifully before. His eyes were opened with a great surprise, to see all the nice gifts that Santa had left for his three chums and himself. That evening the mother and father joined the boys in playing games and none of the household retired until the sandman had closed in upon them. The little boy had experienced the happiest Christmas in his life that day. Bill Corbett '26. THE FRESHMAN’S STORY I knew as soon as I awoke this morning that today was to be an eventful day in my life, but, try as I would, I could not remember why it should be. Ah, I finally remembered. School was to begin today and I was to enter that wonderful Mecca of which all grammar school students dream. High School. When my sister came into my room to wake me, as she had always had to [Thirty-four] do, for I am a notorious sleepy-head; she was surprised to find me awake, an unusual event. Finally I was dressed and ready to eat my breakfast, but I was so excited that everything I ate tasted like saw-dust and choked me. At last I was ready to leave home, and although it was still early, I decided to start for school. The school-house was several blocks from home, so I knew 1 wouldn't be too early. School was reached at last, and , as I drew near, a large crowd could be seen gathered on the front steps, and among them some weird and scared looking new comers. The cry of “Freshie” greeted me. A small group of girls detached themselves from the large group and came to meet me. My pride which had deserted me, arose, for I thought surely such a person of importance as I must be to have them come to meet me at the edge of the school grounds, could never be treated as the rest of my classmates had been. Alas, I was not left long in doubt. The group was composed of girls I had been with all summer, Sophomores. Upon reaching me they broke rank and I was in the midst of them. My arms were grasped roughly and I was propelled onward to the building and inside. There, my hair which I had combed so carefully only a little while before was fixed in an outlandish manner, my dress, of which I was justly proud, was taken off me and an old ragged-looking thing put on me. In short, when I emerged from the dressing-room I don’t believe my own mother would have recognized me as “her darling child.” So through a day of ridicule and fun (fun for the others, not for me). Four o’clock came at last after a period of time which seemed twice as long a time as it really was. This program was daily, until Freshman Reception, when we were accepted as full-fledged High School students. Looking back upon my freshman days I can see now the fun that I had when I thought it was woe, but I vow that next year the poor unlucky Freshmen will receive no mercy from the Freshmen of this year. —L. M. ’26. HOW THE FOURTH YEAR ENGLISH CLASS TAXES MISS LORD S PATIENCE The fourth year English class is held the first period in the afternoon. If Vic happens to get to school before the bell rings he is usually to be found in the class room studying for the written lesson we have every day without fail. Time flies and the first bell rings. In come the other members of the class in two’s and three’s. Most of them take their seats immediately on entering the room, but a few of them always have to take their daily exercise by writing on the blackboard. There are about four boys who participate in this pastime. The penmanship is not all that you could expect it to be under other circumstances. These boys always have to write with all possible speed in order to have the board decorated before the coming of Miss Lord. She admires the work and then has it erased for the coming of the next day’s decorations. Now begins the tedious task of amusing ourselves while the roll is being taken. After Richard and Ken eliminate their gum the lesson is begun. Miss Lord passes paper out and places the questions for us to answer on [Thirty-five] the board. During this part of the period there is much craning of necks and straining of eyes until the papers are collected. While Miss Lord is deciding where we left off reading the day before and who is to read first, Dick and Monk take their time in starting a foot contest. The idea, presumably, is to see which of the two can overturn the wastebasket and make the most noise. After a time Miss Lord delays the contest, thinking that one is as skillful as the other at it, but the boys are anxious to see who the winner is so they go on with the contest at different intervals in the period. But neither seems to win as it is continued from day to day. 7 he reading begins. After a time Miss Lord looks in Clyde’s direction to see if he has finished his beauty sleep, but usually finds him oversleeping his time. In order to wake him she asks him to read. After vainly searching for the place, Dick points it out to him and the lesson proceeds. During this time Bill thinks it a good opportunity to make some bright saying of his and the lesson draws to a close. After this strenuous period of teaching Miss Lord considers it necessary to rest for forty minutes before being able to teach her next class successfully. —V. S. '26. UTOPIA Westwood is known all over the western coast for being one of the prettiest cities in the northern part of California. It lies in a basin in the mountains surrounded by heavy green timber, there being no stumps or rotten logs within three miles of the city. If you should come to Westwood in the summer time the memories of it would never leave you. As you come driving in on the pavement from Clear Creek and look directly east you see the court house stately in the evening glow, flowers growing everywhere. The flowers and lawns of the respective residences are being watered with the ever plentiful mountain water. If you take another look you will see the mail carrier now nearing the end of his route. The places all look very fresh for never does any dust fly to mar their beauty. Business men and women are steadily pouring in and out of the big depart- ment stores and the many cold drink parlors are fairly over-flowing with people who have stopped for slight refreshments. Real estate agents are busy showing property to their prospective customers. Cars are whizzing up Main street, now and then being stopped by the traffic officer and told that they were driving too slow and if they didn’t keep up to the speed limit, which was sixty miles an hour, he would have to turn them in. But ever looking down upon the busy beautiful town are the stately mountains, their serenity lending a note of abiding peace to the clamor of the village. —Adelyn Stout, 1928. [Thirty-six] [Thirty-seven] ORCHESTRA Sitting: Fred Atkins, drums; Kenneth Lofstedt, saxophone; Milton Rosentreter, saxophone; Henry Coyle, saxophone; Arnold Rosentreter, clarinet; James King, violin. Standing: Marjorie Williford, violin; William Corbett, trombone; Miss Schuyler, director; Victor Scammon, violin; Oliver Torgerson, violin; Robert Gleason, trombone; Viola Leonard, piano. The orchestra has this year been developed into a considerable organization, one of which any school might well be proud. It has furnished the music for most of the school functions of the year, as well as for a number of functions outside of the school life. The Chipmunk on behalf of the student body wishes to thank Miss Schuyler and the individual members of the orchestra for giving so freely of their time in the interest of the social affairs of the student body. [Thirty-eight] HIGH SCHOOL PLAY “Clarence” the annual High School play was given in two performances, matinee and evening at the Westwood Theatre. The students showed unusual skill and ability in taking their parts. Howard Costar, as Clarence delighted the audience with his dry humor and patient attempts to explain his peculiarities. The part of Miss Pinney, the governess was very successfully portrayed by Amo Griffith. Lois Taylor and Clyde Vernon played the parts of Cora and Bobby Wheeler and kept everyone interested in their heated arguments and love affairs. The part of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler were played by Ellis Minshall and Frances Thomas and one could not help sympathizing with them in their efforts to untangle their family affairs. Joe Sharon as Mr. Stem, a wealthy widower, did his best to interest Miss Pinney but was forced to give way to his successful rival. Clarence. La Verne Payne and Lee Ross took the part of servants and were most successful in portraying the life of that part of the household. SYNOPSIS Clarence has no medals, no shoulder bars, no great accomplishments. One of the “five million” he served where he was sent—though it was no further than Texas. As an entomologist he finds—on this side of the ocean—no field for his specialty in civil life, and seeking a job, he secures a position in the home of a Mr. Wheeler, a wealthy Englewood man with a family. Because he'd been in the army” he became guide, philosopher, and friend to the members of that agitated and distracted family group. He mends the bathroom plumbing, tunes the piano, types, and plays the saxophone. The Cast Mrs. Martin Mr. Wheeler.. Mrs. Wheeler .

September 18, in the High School auditorium, the Freshman girls were duly initiated according to the custom of the school, to the great amusement of the three upper-classes and the faculty. The initiation started with a fashion show, representing about every impossible style of hair dressing and costume. This was followed by many little individual stunts, which were rendered good naturedly by the Freshmen. They proved themselves worthy of a reception which was given to them October 3 in the grammar school gymnasium. The party started at 8 o’clock and the high school orchestra was there with lots of pep. They had a Frosh dance but most of the Frosh boys were too bashful to dance. The party was over between eleven-thirty and twelve with every Frosh in good spirits. Student Body Party Friday, November 13, after the Modoc game the High School gave a dance in the Grammar School Gym, the High School orchestra furnishing the music. After the dance a supper was served. The visiting teams were our guests. Annual Sophomore Hop The Annual Sophomore Hop was held in the Grammar School Gym, Friday. December 11. As it was nearing the Christmas holidays, the hall was decorated accordingly. Santa’s gifts were under the tree. After several hours of a jolly good time we were allowed to open our presents which were boxes filled with a dainty lunch for two. Skating Party The evening of the twelfth of January, the High School had a skating party at Indian Ole Dam. The ice was quite smooth but hard, as many bruises will testify. There were about fifty present and all had a good skate. Around the bonfire you could become warm while listening to music for one thoughtful student had brought a phonograph. Hot dogs and coffee were served and the party was reluctantly broken up at ten o’clock. Frosh Return Party Friday, January 29, the Freshmen gave their annual return party in the High School Gym. The hall was cleverly decorated in their class colors, orange and black. The high School Orchestra furnished the music, and at eleven o’clock supper was served. The girls were given tags with numbers corresponding to the package lunch. The boys found their partners by comparing numbers. After supper dancing was resumed until twelve o’clock. The Freshmen have shown their ability to entertain as it was a very successful party, everyone enjoying himself. Clarence Party” Tuesday evening, May 4, the Faculty entertained the cast and staff of “Clarence.” Supper was served at six o’clock at the High School. During supper speeches were made by various members of the cast and staff. After supper every one went, upon invitation out into the the Grammar School Gym and danced until nine-thirty. Music was furnished by Wayne Carroll and Mr. [Forty] Briton. All those attending say without hesitating that it was one of the best times they have ever had at a high school function and that the faculty certainly knew how to entertain. Friday, April 23, the Juniors gave a class picnic at Clear Creek. In the afternoon, about twenty innings of basketball were played. Then Mrs. Cralle and Miss Neill, chief cooks, announced the supper. Later on, one of those great bonfires everyone loves was built, and marshmallows were roasted. While sitting around the fire, Marion led in singing songs, and a regular girls vs. boys was started. Games were taken up and so, much fun was had by all. Time fairly whizzed by and the end came much too soon. Sophomores’ Picnic The Sophomore class of the Westwood Hi had a very successful picnic out at Clear Creek, Wednesday from 3:30 p. m. until 9:00 p. m. The games were baseball, run-sheep run, kick the can, horse shoe pitching and others. Miss Lord sure slings a mean horseshoe. A big feed was certainly enjoyed at 6:30 with a marshmallow toast later. Senior Sneak Day The senior Class after many days of restlessness, arose at an early hour on Wednesday morning of last week and took their sneak, leaving the poor Junior’s undisturbed in the best hours of their slumber. Every morning but the morning of the sneak, the Juniors were out prowling about, when the roosters were beginning to crow, looking for seniors but without any luck. The class motored toward Diamond Mountain, but had to turn around because of an impassable road. Upon arriving at a beautiful picnic ground at the base of the mountains surrounding Honey Lake Valley, the cars were halted and the day was spent in playing ball and other games. A picnic lunch was served and everyone ate freely. Late in the afternoon the group departed for home, wishing that there were more sneak days. Frosh Picnic On Thursday of last week. Miss Dow, with her class of Freshmen enjoyed a picnic out Clear Creek. Games were played until the coffee poured forth its sweet essence. Then a lunch, suitable for just such an outing, was served. After lunch a song rally was held between the new and old Frosh with Mr. Cralle and Miss Taylor officiating as judges, their decision being that neither group was the superior. Later in the evening marshmallows were roasted. After all this was enjoyed the class departed for home, all declaring it a great success. Junior-Senior Ball The Junior-Senior Ball was held May 7, in the American Legion Hall. Everyone danced to the peppy music of Wayne Carroll’s Orchestra until eleven o’clock when the last dance was announced. Delightful refreshments were served by the Juniors and Seniors. All of the guests left talking of the good time they had had but feeling bad to think that it was over. “Music Night” On May 14, a “Music Night,” was held at the American Legion Hall. A good program was furnished by the orchestra and Boys' and Girls’ Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Schuyler. [Forty-one] [Forty-two] School Calendar September 11—Registration.
