In accordance with this generous custom. the class of nineteen eight left as its me- mento, the beautiful lunette, Study and Recreation, which was painted by Mr. Harold Miles, once a student in West High himself. Nineteen nine, not to be outdone, added the rich, wine-colored cur- tains of silk velour, trimmed artistically in gold. Harmonizing so perfectly with the frescoing and woodwork, both gifts add great beauty to our assembly room.

A longing for those happy days now o'er Will linger in our hearts forever more: The trials, pleasures, friends whom we have met,- That vivid vision we shall not forget. Then, Alma Mater, do not mourn or sigh, The Senior Class, alert, with purpose high, Will scattered be, but ever think of you And, thinking, to your standards e'er be true. Some truths are firmly fixed and lessons learned, Some principles into our hearts are burnedg For these, enriched by happy, care-free days, We give our gratitude and heartfelt praise. Tho' strangers say, To West High bid farewell, We answer, In our hearts she'll ever dwell. LAURA MCCLARY, 'IO Harl Eslick, Pres. Gerald Hunt, Treas. Sarah Davidsonb, Sec. Lenore Mudge, Vice-Pres. Morrison Gardt, Sgt. at Arms UIIII IIII ,IIIIU H Class of 10 E1 l-lll Il ll II ll Ill-l There has long existed a somewhat justified aversion to class histories. The chief accusation brought against these narratives is, that they resemble breakfast foods. That is, the nutrition offered the brain is slight in proportion to the bulk, and, they are dry. These objections have, however, been due to cause rather than effect. The objects written of have been uninteresting and it naturally follows, the accounts provoked criticism rather than approbation. Not so wit-h the class of l9l0. Every aspect of her record presents one grand panorama, a motion picture so to speak, of interesting action. From the very advent of her three hundred and fifty verdant, yet courageous members, they have always measured up to and, in many activities, surpassed the previous standards of West High. i ln the most important activity of school life, studies, our class has amply demonstrated her worth. Enola Eno is the only recognized flunker of the class. It is truthfully stated that she only received 95 in geometry once,- astoundingly humiliating, shocking, to say the least. The many forms of athletics have had the best material for the past seasons from the class wearing the numerals ' l 0. So universally is he claimed throughout the entire school, that we dislike to appear selfish in the least, but Archie Sanders, the best punter in the state, and an all-around athlete, is an honored member of our hosts. Plato Redfern, or Red the Enthusiast, is another athlete of wide repute listed among this year's seniors. In every branch of sport our boys have shown themselves true sportsmen. They have entered for the sport's sake, and for the purpose of helping establish West High supremacy. What class would not be proud to claim such debaters as Luella Clark, Scioto IVICACIOW, Robert Dodson and Harl Eslick? Last year out of six members of the lirst team we had three, and this year the above four, out of the same number, represented us, a strong evidence of our support of debating. This, however, does not represent the complete interest in such lines. It is in the Philomathean Society where the class has exemplified her truest loyalty for debating and literary work. Those people who serve the school perhaps more assiduously than any other pupils are the members of the Tatler staff. The management of the paper this year has naturally devolved upon three Seniors. The class justly prides itself in having these members who have so successfully conducted the best paper of the school history. Thus it would be possible to continue analyzing the dramatic activities, glee clubs, in fact every branch of school life, and to see the same result- l9I0 supremacy. But why go further? To do so would be unjust. It would unwar- rantably overshadow the past, and cast a dismal, gloomy mantle over the future. Yet the class of 'I0 measures not her greatness by individual achievements. She has attained her position by co-operative action, by unity of sentiment, and there she will remain as a striking example of class harmony. Nevertheless, it is but in keeping with the general trend of doing things in West High and in Des Moines that we occupy our enviable position in class annals. Our unanimous hope in leave-taking is: May this spirit of progress continue forever: may success and true glory crown every undertaking, and may the sons and daughters of old West High take advantage of their training by becoming loyal, active, boosting alumni, and citizens of the world.

In nineteen hundred seven Some Freshmen entered West, Tho' brightly green and timid, We tried to do our best. As overbearing Sophomores We went our cheerful way, We shirked our rightful lessons And used that time for play.

In the fall of l907, all unheralded, there came into West High, a class destined to leave a deep impression upon the future of that school. From that time on, the class of 'll has been well represented in every branch of school activities. In the home meet of the first year, the Freshmen won eleven points. The football squad of the next fall included some five Sophomores. Aflixed to a banner, seen at certain seasons in the study-room, are the numerals 'l l, placed there by a championship basket-ball team, our second year. This past year four of them were missing. Otherwise we believe there would be another 'l l upon that banner. But let us not indulge in vain regrets,-for another 'II may yet be placed upon it. Not only in athletics, but likewise in more intellectual fields has this class shown superiority. In the daily class-work, so unusual is the ability shown, that none of us would be left to the succeeding classes, were it not for our altruistic desire to give them a nucleus for their organization. In the Tatler's story contests, members of this class have at different times won first, second, and third prizes. In debating, which combines in a peculiar way, lightning thinking, and thunderous speaking, this class furnished two of the three representatives who defeated Westport High of Kansas City. Next we come to the branch of human expression known as dramatics. ' It need only be said that the two farces, lVlr. Bob, and A Box of Monkeys, were presented to the largest and most enthusiastic audience that has ever attended a similar entertainment in this school. Whatever influence this class may wield is due, not to its achievements which are merely incidental-but to its true class and school spirit-the spirit of help- ful co-operation. With this spirit and the privilege which the Seniors so covet, that of one more year of high-school life, our history is but half written. There is scarce a limit to what we may yet do. ln closing let me give this warning to any Junior who has not come out for school activities as yet, but has intended to do so later: Your days as an underclassman are over. Get busy. NORMAN Scorr, 'I I.

We may all forget the I9 l 0 Tatler Annual but we will always remember Halley's Comet. I-IALLEY'S COMET On the morning of the 12th of September, l'-909, the world was thrilled by the news from Heidelberg that Halley's Comet had been sighted from earth. Although eminent astronomers had assured us of its return and an incessant watch had been maintained for more than a year, yet human incredulity could not force down the question, Will it come? Of all celestiallobjects known to man, the comet is the most mysterious, and if we add to this the novelty of pre- diction, we have a situation that justly commands our profound admiration. In l685 Sir Edmund Halley, after making calculations, most laborious and extreme, dared to publish the never-to-be-forgotten sentence, Wherefore, if it should return according to our prediction,'about the year l758, impartial posterity will not refuse to acknowledge that this was first discovered by an Englishman. Its return in l758 and 1835, alone would have been enough to give the object and its predictor lasting fame in history. It was not satisfied however, with this glorious career. Its early and accurate discovery in l909 attracted the keenest interest, but when later it was further predicted that we would pass through it, all things else celestial sank into oblivion. Nine long months inter- vened between its discovery and its appearance to the naked-eyed public. When at last it was seen in the east in our morning sky, its glory was not abated nor had the people's interest in it suffered by reason of the long wait. As its tail grew visually, the world waited anxiously, the credulous and superstitious in dread, the thinking and calculating in hope. Every human aid was given the astronomers in their effort to secure new data. Our city's lights were turned off that they might not dim our view of it or interfere with the work of obtaining the first series of photographs of a comet twenty-one centuries old. Even the clouds seemed unusually kind. May I8 at l0:00 o'clock P. M. Central Standard Time, was set as the date for our passage through this mist of mystery. The day dawned bright and clear and our faithful sun was never more watched through telescope, spectroscope and camera. As night approached, the stars had full sway, and the people gazed. The ever-present wag tried to deceive himself and the people .with the artificial. In spite of the insistent denial on the part of the astronomers that anything extraordinary would happen, the world was awake. At its accustomed time, when the earth was supposed to have passed from west to east through it, the tail threw astronomers into confusion by making its appearance in the eastern sky, and nothing had happened. On the morning of the l9th, at the Lick observatory, Mt. Hamilton, California, the tail was seen to extend l4O degrees, nearly across the entire sky, and was greatly curved. An attempted explanation of this seemingly strange behavior would not be pertinent here. At the present writing the tail is still in our midst. D. W. MOREHOUSE.

Art Editor Publishing Editor I N iii The Tatler Press THE TATLER PRESS The story of the purchase of The Tatler Press is one that should have more extended notice. In brief, the need of a press and a few fonts of type for The Tatler job printing had been frequently mentioned. It so happened that a short apprenticeship in a printing office, some years ago, enabled the principal to appreciate the possibilities of such an outfit in a school like ours. It became apparent in the spring of l909 that under the splendid business management of Dan lVlcGorrisk and Editor-in-Chief William Spurrier a consid- erable sum could be set aside for this purpose. Immediately all began to look for bargains in printers' supplies. The picture above gives some idea of the realization of the plan. We now have a motor, press and over sixty fonts of type of all sizes and styles, from small job fonts to full news cases. It is well selected and as good as new. It answers all our present needs and is a most valuable addition to our school activities. During the year some very good work has been done. All the job printing for The Tatler and Annual, as well as a great amount of school printing, bears the Tatler Press imprint. Most of this work was previously done on mimeograph or was not done at all. Book cards, programs, courses of study, school blanks, stationery, tickets, ballots, cross-section paper, examination questions, and circular letters to alumni represent the kind of work now being done by the press. To the Staff of T908-l909, and especially to William Spurrier, the school owes much for The Tatler Press. Robert Dodson Harl Eslick Stuart Hoover Philornathian Literary Society The growth and development of the Philomathian Literary Society is worthy of especial notice. The charter members, could they visit us today, would find in the present organization, something like a realization of their ideals. From a small band of twenty-five, Philo has increased its membership to nearly one hundred and fifty. In 1908, the society became so large that a division into three sections was deemed expedient. One section now devotes its time to debating and parliamentary practice. From it we develope our splendid debating teams. The other two divisions have a more varied program. Once a month the three sections meet in the Assembly Room. These joint meetings are greatly enjoyed by all. Stories, music, debates, dissertations, and recitations preclude any possibility of monotony. This year the programs of Saint Valentine's Day, April Fool's and Christmas Days were particularly enjoyed. They contained innumerable good-natured roasts and clever allusions. Many visitors are present at the meetings. The Freshmen hear so much about Philo that they look with envy upon the members, and long for the time when they, too, may be admitted to take an active part in the proceedings of Thursday afternoon. Election of officers is held three times a year, when chairmen are elected for the society and for the several sections. Only those who know from actual experience can fully appreciate the benefits to be gained from this association. Ease in public speaking, knowledge of par- liamentary drill, information on varied topics, as well as the spirit of good- fellowship, opportunity for making acquaintances, wider enthusiasms and added energy, all come to him who makes the best of his membership privileges.

West faithful and painstaking High owes much to assistance rendered Mr. Jordan. hy Miss Moore. TO MR. MERRILL During the assemblies of the debating season Mr. Merrill takes the platform and we are always glad to welcome and applaud the leader of the season's activity. He has led many teams to victoryg he has consoled and encouraged those who have met defeat. In return they give to him loyal admiration and esteem. Herein the school voices its sincere appreciation of his faithful and untiring interest. All honor to the Father of Debatingu! X THE TRIANGULAR THE AFFIRIVIATIVE TEAM The third debate against Kansas City took place March eighteenth on our own platform. The question was: Resolved that the government should encourage competition to the extent of prohibiting any form of artificial monopoly. Our representatives were Maurice Harrison, Luella Clark and Norman Scott. The masterful way in which they presented the affirmative side will not soon be forgotten. Our hopes were at once raised high by Maurice's effective and earnest speech, which opened the debate. Norman's skillful refutation and well- handled arguments sustained and strengthened the claims of the first speakerg and, after l..uella's closing speech and magnificent rebuttal, West High laid claim to a well-earned victory. The negative speakers, too, were excellently prepared and Kansas City may well be proud of them although they gained the decision of but one judge. The Triangular debate has come to be one of the most important events of the year. LEAGUE TEAMS ' THE NEGATIVE TEAM The negatixe team fought its battle at Umaha, in the third annual struggle against Omaha High School. The team consisted of l-larl Eslick, Robert Dodson and Scioto lVlcAdow, and was one of the strongest and most alert that West High ever sent away. From all reports the debate must have been intensely interesting and the result in doubt until the end. Harl never appeared to better advantage, and by his careful analysis of the question, Scioto's calm, clear statements, and Robert's clever impromptu work, the negative was bravely upheld. But the Omaha boys, by introducing a totally unexpected argument won two of the votes and were declared winners. Notwithstanding the decision, West High never took greater pride in the work of any team and we say, in the words of the judge who favored us, West High did real debating.

It is important as a preliminary and it is an event in itself. This year the school auditorium was crowded when the class presented its two farces, and all, from the Freshmen to the alumni, unite in declaring the entertainment an unqualified success. In the first farce, A Box of Monkeys, there were fewer strongly dramatic situations, and a corresponding need for effective acting. Herbert Horton, as the nervous suitor, gave an excellent piece of character acting. His work was matched by that of l..ucile Romine, as the Hippant but charming little western girl. The play ran smoothly to its climax, with creditable work by all the cast. lVlr. Bob was filled with amusing situations and clever speeches. Jessica Oliver, as the stage-struck maid, kept the audience in tears of laughter. Harold Wilson who, at the eleventh hour, took the role of Jenkins, played with the spirit of a professional. The entire cast was excellent, and the performance was carried on with a swing and spirit rarely seen in school theatricals. Much credit must be given to Miss Winn, who developed the talent of the Junior Thespians.

VANDERVELDTH Since the class of l889 gave the first Senior play this activity has become more and more popular. Unusual ability has been displayed by members of the various Senior classes. Their friends remember with pleasure the successes of these casts. Among the notable achievements were The Great Catastrophe, ,OIQ HA Modern Cinderella, ,025 Sweet Lavender, ,035 The Second in Commandf' ,065 A Rose o' Plymouth Town, '07g The Professofs Love Story, '08, and The Manoeuvers of Jane, '09. The class of l9I0 had a great undertaking to produce a play that would stand high in the annals of Senior dramatics of West High. A dramatic committee was elected by the class to select a play and cast. After many hours of study and deliberation The Fascinating Mr. Vanderveldtn was chosen. This modern play is a comedy of four acts, written by Alfred Sutro. The action is laid among the castles of happy old England. The whole atmosphere of the play is gentle and reserved. Each climax is quiet and artistic. The story of Mr. Vanderveldt is charming rather than exciting. Its general con- struction is thoroughly modern. The interest is held to the last moment when the comedy ends with but two actors on the stage. The class of I9I0 secured the Princess theater for the evenings of June I0th and l lth. Mr. Sambroak, assistant trainer of the Princess Stock Company, and Mr. Guiberson had charge of the training and staging of the play. The cast for The Fascinating Mr. Vanderveldtf' as chosen by the dramatic committee of the Senior class, was as follows: Lady Clarice Howland . . . . Margaret Linnane Aggie Coles . The Marchioness of Hendengby . . Lady Clementina DesBorough . . Miss Pelling . Mrs. Brevell . Mrs. Mellon . Mary . . Mr. Vanderveldt Colonel Rayner Lord Woolham . Sir Bartholomew Cardiclc . .

There was the largest and most en- thusiastic squad of candidates in the history of West High. Our men were earnest and capable. The veterans were tried men. The candidates were worthy. The pre-season scrimmage with Drake showed up some exceed- ingly good material. The season opened with a farcical contest with Fort Dodge wherein West High piled up a score of 72 points. Marshalltown was next in order, and victory was sweetened with the joy of revenge. Then Ottumwa held us to an unexpected and unworthy 3 to 0 score-there after some little demon of mischance pursued us through the unlucky season. The coach arranged and rearranged the line-up and we went to Lincoln to be bewildered by a team understanding and using brilliant open play. Again our players were shifted to unfamiliar positions and the boys played a fierce tie game with North High. Still the men failed to fit into their places and we came up to the East High game with another rearrangemeiit of the back field and ends, and West High met- the inevitable defeat. Even with the encouragement of our captain, Archie Sanders, who made the greatest field goal of the season, the team could score no more. Every man on the team played himself all in and each fellow had to be dragged from the field with the odds against us, 20 to 3. Next year with the thorough coaching of Bob Evans, West High should show to the state her real strength. The game will be new. So let there be one hundred earnest boys who will go into football next September with eagerness to learn the game, and West High will have a different story to tell.

The condition of our prospects previous to this meet was practically unknown. The result of the initial try-out, however, placed the demand for a championship team upon a substantial basis. The home-meet records equaled, and even surpassed in several events, the time made in the home meet of l909. Even the home meet of the i908 champion- ship team shows few better records. The meet was characterized by a healthy West High spirit. The medals so happily provided by the loyal stu- dents seemed but a side issue, for each fellow seemed to be trying to set a mark, not for himself, but for his team and school. Several star performers appeared. Verne Rex captured individual honors with l6M, points, winning both hurdles and the hammer throw. He also helped the Seniors win the mile relay. His lead in points was closely followed by Redfern and lVlcBain, each of whom won two firsts and a second. The Seniors won the meet easily with a total of seventy-four points. The summary of events is as follows: l00 yard dash-Woodward first, Harper QS, second, Hunt third. Time, :II l-5. l20 yard hurdles-Rex QS, first, Garst QS, second, Main third. Time, :I 7 4-5. 440 yard dash-Kirkpatrick QS, first, Pippin QS, second, Beatty QS, third. Time, :56 3-5. 220 yard hurdles-First preliminary, Rex QS, first, Lewis second. Time, 229 2-5.

But this year, though the weather was fine, but few enthusiasts accompanied the team. O, that lucky few! For West High set a hard record for high school athletics by winning from a strong college Freshman team. Two new men made their appearance, McHenry and Reed. Harry McHenry took both hurdles in line form, while Reed made excellent time in both dashes. The hardest race of the day was the mile. After Denny had wearied Mr. Haggard, Reds opponent, by a furious pace, Redfern drew up and led the Ames man to the tape. This race was the fastest mile ever run in the state by a high school boy, the time being 4:39 l-5. The meet was exciting to the last event when West High found she had won by four points. It was a happy bunch that returned to Des Moines with the welcome news. The summary of the meet is as follows: High hurdles-McHenry first, Main second, Rex and Brown CAD tied for third. Time: :I7 2-5. lO0 yard dash-Reed first, Clutter CAD second, Tyler CAD third. Time, :IO 3-5. Mile run-Redfern first, Haggard CAD second, Smith third. Time, 4:39 I-5.

WEST HIGH SECOND IN FAST MISSOURI VALLEY MEET .MMT FOUR RECORDS GO Captain Redfern Breaks Two Records 1 The weather was ideal. The track was fast. As a result Des Moines held the fastest Missouri Valley meet in years. The records of at least four of the' athletes were remark- able. Their performances will probably not be bettered by any Missouri Valley college athletes this season. The two sensational races of the day were the mile and the half. In both of these Captain Red- fern left a strong field far be- hind him and broke two Mis- souri Valley records. His Capt. Redfem, with strong finish, breaks mile record. time of 4 3-5 in the mile and 2:04 in the half will sur- vive for some time to come. The two husky Kansas City stars were Koenigsdorf and Kanatzar. These men could undoubtedly make a great showing in any college meet in the country. Koenigsdorf tcok the medal for Individual Honors with seventeen points, only two points more than his team mate, Kanatzar, won. Kanatzer broke his own record of last year by hurling the discus I24 feet, 4 inches. The fourth man of this high school quartet was Wiley of York. Besides taking a close second in the broad jump and a third in the 220 yard hurdle, Wiley cleared 5 feet, I0 I-2 inches in easy style. He barely touched the bar at six feet, but as it was he had leaped three inches above his head. This performance will not be equalled in the state in any of the college meets. But West High had men in the meet besides Redfern. It was only by the work of such men as McHenry, Smith, Lewis, Henshaw, Harper, McBain, and Nourse that West High won over Kansas City Central for second place. Mc- Henry who competed in a large meet for the first time sustained his reputation gained at Ames by grabbing a third in the high and second in the low hurdles. Lewis, showing excellent form, placed fourth in the lows. Walter Smith with a strong finish took third in the mile, while Henshaw grabbed a point in the half. After a long fight the many contestants in the pole vault were eliminated and Harper tied for tfird place, adding a few more points. Finally the real con- test came in the jumps. These events were to decide whether West High should have second or third place in the meet. Nourse jumped higher than ever before and took one point, while McBain took first in the broad jump at 20 feet, I I inches. The meet ended with West High 2 I-2 points ahead of Kansas City Central for second place. The Missouri Valley High School Association is composed of eight of the strongest schools in this section of the country. Six of the schools entered are larger than lowa's largest school, West High. The fact that West High can win second place in a meet representing twelve thousand students indicates that we have an unusually strong team. TI-IE SUMMARY.

It is interesting to note that the only two events in which the lowa state records are better than the Missouri Valley records are the M mile run and the broad jump, and that both are held by West High. I . STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GUES T0 WEST HIGH West High Breaks Three Records and Ties One They came, we saw, we conquered. West High has finished one of the most successful track seasons of her career. The l9I0 track team has gone down in history as the winner of the most closely contested and most record breaking meet ever held by the Iowa High School Athletic Association. For some years past the state meet has re- solved itself into a contest between West High and Ida Grove, with the other schools of the association taking the remaining honors in turn. Last year Ida Grove was lost in the shuffle and East High grabbed first honors. This year the points were more evenly divided, as the ranking of the teams shows. To win but 27 points, and to be represented in the summary by but six men, to place in but live events, and to have broken three and tied one of the records in those events, is the peculiar achievement of West High's winning team. Reed gave West High the lead at the start by defeating Crates of East High, and tying the state record in the IOO yard dash. The fact that both Reed, who won the l00, and Byers of East High who won second in the broad jump, and tied for first in the pole vault, are Freshmen was one of the unique features of the meet. Captain Redfern tied with Hoper of Hartley for individual honors, and repeated his performance of the preceding week by breaking both the half mile and mile records. Then, although he had run the half mile in 2:02 4-5 and the mile in 4:40, he electrified the crowd by winning his race in the short relay. In this event he defeated Monroe, the winner of the 220 yard dash. Our captain is, without a doubt, the greatest distance runner who ever competed in the state of Iowa, and it will be many years be- fore his records are equalled. Henshaw, who ran a strong second to Redfern in the half mile, and Smith who finished third in the mile, will never be for- gotten by those who witnessed the events. McBain exceeded his great per- formances of the earlier season with a jump of Zi feet 6M inches, and broke a third record for West High. McBain has every chance for a victory at Chicago. Harper also proved that he is among the best of Iowa's athletes by tying for first in the pole vault. The height of I0 feet ZW inches was some- what affected by the condition of the field. The two relay teams and McHenry, Lewis and Main in the hurdles gave all they had, and were only defeated by superior strength. Hutchin's fSioux Cityl time of 27 I-5 seconds in the low hurdles was faster than that of any previous state meet hurdler, while Aldrich fSioux City, and Miller flndianolaj tied in breakng the state high jump record, at 5 feet 7 inches. Too much praise cannot be given to Coach Bair and the fellows, whose faith- ful work made this victory possible. A summarized account of the meet is as follows: RANKING OF TEAMS.

But when the new building gave West High all the facilities of a fine gynasium, in- terclass basketball was introduced. Since then it has been a potent factor in the life of the school. In '07 a trophy banner was presented with the provision that the numerals of each winning class be placed upon the banner. This banner is to become the permanent pos- session of the class taking three succes- sive championships. Since then the interest in the class series has increased. This year more than one hundred fellows tried out for the team. The rooters of the different classes occupied every inch of available space. Loyal classmates fumished their teams with uniforms. The Senior class placed the first num- erals onthe banner in '07. ln '08 the Seniors again won the coveted honor. But in '09 the team of 'l l upset the dope and placed its numerals on the banner. This was the first class to lay a claim to permanent possession. This year again the Sophomores spoiled the well-set plans of the upper classmen and placed 'IZ on the banner. The work of the Sophomore team was well organized. Each man played a steady and heady game. Grandstanding was forsaken for team work. How- ever, all through the series each Sophomore played a brilliant game. The team proved to be the most evenly balanced five on the floor. The Seniors registered the only defeat which the Sophomores experienced. The Seniors excelled in team work until Captain Sanders left the game because of illness. After his loss the team played a hard but not consistent game. However, an extra game was required to establish the Sophs as champions. The Juniors lacked experience as well as thorough organization. The team was entirely new with the exception of Witter. Their playing was always fast and fierce, but the end of the season found them in third place. The Freshman team was composed of men entirely new to basketball. But they showed the fighting spirit in every game. Next year the class of 'I3 will see its team among the leaders. It is in these class games that future football and track teams are discovered, while a friendly class spirit, that element which goes so far towards making a greater school spirit, is also fostered. From such a wealth of material West High could turn out a championship basketball team. As it is, however, the game trains and interests a vastly greater number with the four class teams than it possibly could with one school team. Basketball has a bright future in West Des Moines High School.

To encourage the contests the Wave- land Golf Club turned the links over to the tournament with all the privileges allowed their own members. The Waveland Club also kindly of- fered a full membership to the winner of the tournament. Dr. Dorr, who acted as referee, increased the interest by adding a gold medal for the winner. The athletic association also provided for silver and bronze medals to the runner-up and to the winner of the con- solation, respectively. The enthusiasm was greater and the entry list larger than last year. The only drawback was the disagreeable weather. But in spite of this many played, and the winner of the tournament was in doubt to the last contest. The tournament was very successful, and next year, with an earlier start, the golf tournament will interest West High even more. The date will probably be changed from the middle of October to the last of September. When all the matches were finally played off, Harold Edwards was winner. Edwards with good golf has won both tournaments, '08 and '09. Frank Caldwell ran Edwards a close race for honors and finished as runner-up. Walter Boyd won the consolation. There will be some good matches when these golfers come together again in next year's tournament. A T lm lfendg mms f X A, f H , ff 'Z MWA- -Nr? 7 f 54444 :,,LZ:-3iiif ,K fd, if ,H U v ' A 'Af iii..

She is traveling with the Salvation Army and has reclaimed thousands of grovelling sinners with her birdlike tones. It is interesting to note that Miss IVIcAd0w was formerly a resident of this city. She has numerous friends, who will enjoy standing on the street corners and watching her wave the tambourine. SUFFRAGETTE RENOUNCES PLATFORM For years the American women who are eager for the vote have looked upon Miss Lizzie Chamberlain as their avcwed leader and staunchest supporter. She has inflamed their fiery hearts with her vehemence and has silenced the caustic tongue of many a scornful son of Adamg she has traveled thousands of miles in working for the ballot, and has forsaken luxuries and even comforts. But now she resolutely turns her back upon her dismayed followers and changes her irrpassioned appeals to pleasing prattle on cozy fircsidesf' home ties and loving duties. Nowhere could better proof be found that it is a wornan's privilege to change' her mind. Though prudence forbids our mentiozing names, we heartily congratulate the man in the case. EDITOR OF NEW DEPARTMENT The Capital has secured a valuable assistant in Miss Marion Townsend, who will edit the new department, I-Iints for I-Iousehold Happiness. Miss Town- send is well fitted to handle such delicate questions as, How to send him home at I I :30, without undue violence or injury to his feelings. If you are in doubt on any such point send a self-addressed and stamped envelope accompanied by fifteen cents to Miss Townsend and she will gladly help you out of your difficulty. NEW ATTRACTION AT THE ORPHEUM The bill at the Orpheum theater this week is decidedly unique in character. As headliners Eno and IVIcCIary appear in a wonderful act in which they devour twenty large books with avseemingly voracious appetite. Even those in the front row failed to detect any bluff, and the house rang with applause. Cecile Long- shore gives a graceful dance and song entitled, I found my braid on the Christmas tree, hut I lost it ere the Spring. Gray furnishes further musical entertainment with his Scotch songs, of which I love my Jean was the most enthusiastically received. Flossie French proves herself an acrobat of unusual ability when she per- formed the seemingly irrpossible feat cf sitting on her neck. Benge and Everett present 'an amusing little dialogue, The Merits of Clifford, and Bruner and Slzughter contribute a clogging act of indifferent value.

All these are written with the sole aim and purpose of purchasing Mr. Scott's brain after his decease. By his marvellous work it is supposed that the said brain is peculiarly composed.

A very pretty little story of an Irish lad, who after thrilling and varied experiences, comes to his own and is recognized as a genius. A pleasing diversion for an idle hour. THE REST CURE, a sequel to Snores at Noon, by Frances Prouty. The popularity of Miss Prouty's first book insures the success of her second. Both are beautiful tales abouncling in delicate pathos and warranted to draw tears from the most stony hearted. USCRATCI-lED,,' or The Mumpy One, by Miss Lela Sack. A breezy story, sparkling with wit and displaying a youthful talent which will expand later. A great favorite with the boys. HCONTRARY BUT CUTE, by Gladys Gilbertson, the author of Girlie, Miss Gilbertson's work displays some crudeness and much illogical reasoning, but is partially redeemed by the strong scene in the last chapter, where the heroine rescues her horse from a hail storm and then peacefully expires from the effects of her toil. HINNOCENCE LET LOOSE, by Gertrude Burns. As the appropriate title suggests, this story is of an infant wandering on the earth's surface, meeting with many adventures and braving many dangers.

THE JOYS OF COMBAT, or Scowling as an Art, by Mildred Melcher and Harley Pippin. Too much praise cannot be given this volume. Its authors have treated their subject delicately yet forcefully. The illustrations are from life and add great interest by their naturalness. The Hard Work of Debaters- SS THE BLISS OF PUNCTUALITYQ' by Audubon Seevers. A long, rambling autobiography, in whose mazes The Brigand sr E .5 The Captured M and intricacies the author seems to lose himself and miss his point altogether.

She is carried away and con- cealed but a short distance from home and her frantic mother and friends. We follow her in breathless suspense, till she is at last restored to ber waiting parents. A unique incident takes place where she loses her heart and to the most desperate of the ruffians. , Senior Vote This list of twenty-five questions was voted upon by the members of the Senior class and the following results obtained. In each case the names of those three receiving the highest number of votes are recorded with such remarks as the judges deemed necessary. I. Who is the most popular teacher? Miss Kyle, lirstg Mr. Weeks, secondg Miss Beeson, third. It should be stated that every teacher received some votes. II. Which is the most popular course of study? Modern Language, flrstg Scientific, second: Latin, third. The Society course received one vote'g the Campus, one, the Rest, one, Flunking, one, and the Easiest, two. III. If you had your choice of any of the honors which West High gives to its pupils, which would you choose? Athletic, hrstg Debating, secondg Class Honors, third. The class showed a great variety of tastes in this matter, five desiring ardently to graduate, one the honor of being the most beautiful, four to be sharks, and one to be a trap drummer. IV. What do you enjoy most in the line of assemblies? Good Speakers, first, Music, secondg Athletic, third. Two votes were cast for vaudeville, three for assemblies where pupils speak, one for fudge, one for dancing, and five for long speeches. V. What is your pet extravagance? Theatre, flrstg Candy, second, English Books, third. Some of these Seniors have odd ways of disposing of their spare cash. Three voted for ice creamg three for the Tatlerg three for pencils, four for theme paper, six for gum, one for Hunkingg three for rats and turbansg two for shinesg one for pieg one for loud neckwearg one for shoe leather, one for sleepg one for clothes: one for gloves, two for golfg one for baseball, and one for an auto. VI. Who is the prettiest girl? Coryl Shaffer, first, Arloa Bald- win, second: Ara- bella Macomber, third. Since the votes were divided be- tween twenty-four fair maidens, the judges spent a rather warm quar- ter of an hour. Roderick Nourse received one very Uprettyu vote, and one devoted youth wrote s i m p l y ri - n IIIIIIC. VII. Who is the most popular girl? Bertha Cowles, Hrstg Scioto Mc- A d o W, second: Jean G a r v e r, third. Devotion was displayed again by the lad who voted for mine, and another cast his vote for The New One. While fewer were en- tered than in the beauty contest, the number yet ap- proached twenty. VIII. Who is the brightest girl? Laura Mcclary, firstg Hel- en Cowles, second: Elizabeth Chamberlain, third. Enola was of course not neglected in this contest, nor was Luella Clarke or Winni- fred Walsh. The choice here seemed very diflicult proving without a doubt that I9 I 0 has unlimited quantities of brilli- ancy among the girls. IX. Who is the biggest shark? Enola Eno, firstg Laura Mcclary, second: Harry Dil- ley, third. Enola took the lead from the first and held her place without much difhculty. One of the judges was heard to remark that he didn't think the honor was deserved by one who received only four ninety- nines on her report card, but little attention was paid to his words. Two people, waver- ing between modesty and truth, voted for themselves. George Alvin was not neglected here as he became the proud pos- sessor of one vote, as did Rol- lin Waldo and Mildred Dyer. X. Who is the brightest boy? Robert Dodson, flrstg Har- ry Dilley, secondg Blanchard Towne, third. I-larl Eslick and Ralph Selby were next in line and the remaining votes were about evenly distributed between the rest of the boys in the class. Xl. Who is the most studious? Enola Eno, first, Harry Dilley, second, Laura lVlcClary, third. The race between Harry and Enola was a desperate one, and the tellers fairly held their breaths, till the votes were counted and Enola declared victor by one only. Cecile Longshore, Russell Jordan and Charles Purchase received some attention and 'imyselfn was again awarded two votes. XII. What is your pet economy? Carfare, first, Study, second, Shoes, third. The results here were fully as unique as in the fifth question. The following are some of the answers given: Having books issued instead of buying them, saving pennies, paper, pencils, gallery at the Princess, new dresses, gum, candy, Tatler, time, lunch, barettes, washing own locks, fussing, soap, water, mid- night oil, stagging. Xlll. Which study was the hardest? Latin, first, English, second: Algebra, third. Geometry received almost as many votes as Algebra, and the next was Physics. French and Botany were the only studies receiving no votes. XIV. Which year was the hardest? Sophomore, first, Junior, secondg Freshman, third. It might have been wiser to ask this question after the finals. Most of the class seem happily confident. XV. What school event is mcst enjoyable? East-West Game, first, Senior Play, second, Senior Prom, third. The State Meet received one less vote than the Prom and Commencement three less. One hungry boy cast his vote for lunch priod, and seven people think vacation the greatest joy. Some held to basketball, others to the debate and still others to Senior meetings. XVI. Which year was the easiest? Junior, first, Senior, Sophomore and Freshman, second. How the Junior year can be next to the hardest and still the easiest is a little difhcult to understand, but the judges give their word of honor that such were the results. Consistency is evidently not a quality of the I9I0 class. XVII. What study was the easiest? Algebra, firstg German, second, English, third. The other studies considered dead cinchesf' were Geometry, History and French. One shining light deemed them all exceedingly easy and another, less happy, put down unonef' XVIII. Who is the most popular boy? Plato Redfern, firstg George Alvin Peak, secondg James Cummins, Harry Dilley, third. The same scattering vote was given here as in the girls' contest. Harl Eslick, Arthur Kirk and Archie Sanders were shown a good deal of favor and the remaining votes were generally dis- tributed. XIX. Who will be most successful in after life? Harl Eslick, first: Arthur Kirk, second, Robert Harper, third. Here opinions varied again as twenty-five can- dztes were entered. XX. Who is your choice for class orator? l-l a r l Eslick, first: George Al- vin Pealc, second: Robert Dodson, third. In this instance only was the vote almost unanimous, Harl Eslick re- ceiving nearly one hundred v o t e s. Walter D e n n y and Plato Recl- fern received one vote apiece. XXI. Who is the class dude? Roderick Nourse, tirstg George Alvin Peak, second: Blanchard Towne, third. R o d e r i c lc Nourse had diffi- culty in winning this decision as he had two strong contestants in George A l v i n Peak and Blanch- ard Towne. Rod- erick is to be heart- ily congratulated for being able to spend HD a d's money better than the other two. XXII. Who is the prettiest teacher? Miss Sunier, first, Miss McFarland, second, Miss Fowler, third. This election was very hotly contested. Miss Keffer, Mr. Slinker, Miss Allabach and Mr. Deming all had loyal supporters and the decision was in doubt till the end. XXIII. Which is the most desirable school activity? Athletics, first: Debating, secondg Philo, third. Two children expressed their fondness for sliding down banisters and one noble creature approved of 'treading Caesar.
