As we've reached the longed-for hilltop, Are we not worthy to be heard? Just four years ago we came here We had reached High School at last! These four years we've worked and studied, Gaining wisdom as they passed. First believing all they told us, Swallowing bait and hook and all, Looking for the elevators, Tickets to assembly hall. Then the next year, growing wiser, We gain courage as we go. Then WE lord it o'er the Freshies, Telling them the mark to toe. Each semester brings new interests, Football, basketball, and gym. Clubs and music, plays and dances Fill each moment to the brim. We've worked and played with equal ardor, For the classroom work's not all. Other things than Math. or Latin We have found in Learning's Hall. Many a lesson for Lifeg problems That will always help us through, Sportsmanship and friendly spirit, Service, and obedience, too. So, dear West High, we hate to leave now, Happy have been these years with you. But to Life's higher goals We hasten, Seeking greater deeds to do. And now we say, good-bye, dear West High, Good luck to those we leave behind! May the lessons you have taught us Ever linger in our mind. .lane Kauffman. -1--onwo--0--of-o--a-4'-ofma--0--0--o-o-wo--0--0--wsa-no--ofca-on0--of-0--0--0--s--0--o--q..g........g..g........g........g..,.. 15 1921 coMMENcEMEN'r NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Class Song QWords and Music by Marjorie Needhamj I Dear old West High We have longed so for the day, That would crown our efforts here, Send us on our destined way, Prepared to meet Life's sorrows and its joys And the hardships that befall us With a purpose strong and brave. May the class of twenty-one Never cease to do the right, And keep up the reputation Of our Alma Mater dear. So then it's Dear old West High, To you a fond farewell May God send his richest bless ings To the school we love so well. II Dear Old West High We regret to leave you now, We have been so happy here With our schoolmates, teachers dear. As we go forth To ascend life's rugged hill, May the lessons learned at West High Be a guidepost to us still. May we aim with sturdy will, To perform our tasks with skill. Let each one do his duty In being ever prompt and true. So then it's Dear old West High, To you a fond farewell May God send his richest blessings Tothe school we love so well. The Wars of Peace N EARLY childhood we loved to play war with martial pomp and show of infant valor. With what zeal we donned a paper hat plumed with a jaunty rooster feather, and with a gleaming dishpan as shield, charged the ramparts of the doughty knight next door. And over the din of the conflict came the cries of encourage- ment from the fair ladies, arrayed in big sisters' long skirts. O dash- ing, impetuous youth! Deeds of daring told in rousing verse or prose formed the most dearly loved treasures of our literature. Who was not thrilled to vibrant response on first reading Scott's immortal lines: Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, 'This is my own, my native 1and!' Who has not known the delightful torment of mounting the school platform to deliver Browning's Incident of the French Camp ? No music so charmed us as the martial Marching Through Georgiaf' no art so impressed us as the vivid scene of Washington Crossing the Delaware. That lust for combat early asserts itself in the normal youth, those childish struggles and instincts are but the earliest expression of a quality which is one of the richest inheritances left us by the races which for centuries maintained their prestige through instrumentality of war. It was due to the continuous struggle of weak versus strong, right versus wrong, inspired by that combative urge, that eventually 0 0 o o o c o c 1 o Q 9-4.4..g..g..g.-a..u..c..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g g........g..g..g.g g 9 g Q ,..g..g..g..g..g..g q 9 16 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 out of chaos, comparative order possessed the land, till this twentieth century dawned upon our nation in as free and settled a state as might fairly be achieved. Then in the memorable year 1917, the foreboding clouds about us gathered and the storm burst. The rallying roll of the drum again summoned our people to battle's stern arrayg our flag, unfurled to the blood-tainted breeze, spurred them on to glorious death or victory. The air was charged with a patriotic fervency before unknown. The thought of the time, the talk of the time, was centered alone in the progress of the war. The press, literature, drama, art, music, indus- try, the entire scope of 1ll3,Il,S activity, was dominated by the war. '40 Mars, the mighty Jove himself Uneasy is when o'er the land you stalk. Our brothers, our friends,'the fiower of the land, leaped up responsive to the martial call. And can you wonder that our boyish hearts longed to join that manly throng, to fight with bomb and bayonet the bar- barous forces whose sinister power threatened the established civiliza- tion? That same instinct which in childhood prompted us to stirring snow battles and clod fights, cried out in this crisis for expression. Yet to the vivid appeal of the glory, the glamor of warring on the field of battle, we had to give answer No, we fought our own fight in pursuance of education, hard though it was in such spirited times to keep the even tenor of our way. For four interminable years the world stxuggle continued with its hideous devastation, its degradation and degeneracy. But as Right must ever triumph, so its united defenders emerged from this titanic conflict victorious. Freedom was retained, saved from the bestial sovereign who would have worked his evil will upon the world. Aye, freedom is ours! Yet must we recognize that this freedom achieved is not an end, but merely a means to an end,-that it was not alone for freedom but for the achievements which freedom makes possible, that so many of our heroes gave the last full measure of devotion. Peace, at least for us in America, was ushered ing victory was ours with the attainment of that freedom. And some of the youths, deep down in their hearts were a little despondent, for it now seemed that there was nothing remaining in life that might call out their strength, their courage, their manliness and heroism. They had longed to enter the fray that they might test their mettle, try their strength against another's, glory in the dash and daring of the struggle, that they might be brave in the face of danger and fearless in the face of death. But now, with the advent of peace, it seemed that there was nothing left to fight for. As the livid flames from the battlefield faded out into the purer light of peace, life seemed drab and almost futile by the contrast, to youthis imagination. The monotony of the commonplace, toil, and the daily rounds, seemed colorless, indeed. But oh, could we all but realize the great challenge, the fierce struggle, the keen demand upon the heroic stuff we are made of, that this peace hurls at each one of us! Everything noble, everything 1I'1I0'O''II'lf'lI'O lf'Ol'l0O0O0OMO0O0O O0OUlWl0l'4 l O7'0 'l''OHCUIHI O O O O0lCI-IHIUOI-Olfllvll 1921 CONIMENCEMENT NUMBER--THE TATLER 1921 worthy for which to put forth our strength lies before us. The wars of aggression waged with weapons of steel and iron for spoils of land or goldg Wars fought by the people for the aggrandizement of the ruling fewg wars of destruction and carnageg wars entailing famine and deathg Wars which have borne man from the fields of civilization and progress to a state of fiendishness and barbarity, are, please God, no more to enter our lives. With all these behind us, let us look for- ward and acknowledge the challenge of the wars of peace. For the peace in which we find ourselves today is bristling with battles to be fought, teeming with opportunities for each to prove his valor. The old idea of the peace of which the dove was a symbol is found unsus- tained and inadequate in view of the present situation. No time in all the centuries has summoned with more imperious call the man of brains and brawn, will and courage, to fight its battles. No wars of all time have yielded such rich returns and benefits to the victor, as these mighty wars of peace,- Wars of science against superstition. Wars of courage against cowardice. n Wars of knowledge against ignorance. Wars of wealth against poverty. WVars of health against disease. Wars of hope against despair. Wars of faith against doubt. Wars of right against wrong. Wars of all that is fine and deserving against all that is crude and base. The wars of peace! With what clear voice their trumpets summon us to the fray. Let us answer the call shoulder to shoulder on this great battlefield, supreme under the leadership of God! Goidon Johnston. Senior Closing Out Sale! Moving to other parts. Wish to sell cheap!

Twenty Years Hence fNews items taken from the society page fand elsewherej of Des Moines' largest newspaper in the year of our Lord, 1940.5 Rev. Gordon Johnston delivered the address at the dedication of the new West High, which was completed last week, after fifteen years' work. The masterful sermon was heard by an enormous audience. Although it is said 100,000 were present, there was seating capacity for all in the school auditorium. Rev. Johnston referred to the days when West High, located then on Center St., was a village school of 1,500. Music lovers are shocked to hear of the serious illness of the world's most famous bass singer, Arthuro Gaddo. The latest reports say that there is danger of his losing his powerful voice altogether. Without him music will never reachthe same volume again, say music critics. Principal W. Z. Proctor of West High has established some new rules for his students. It is believed that East and North will not be long in adopting the same. A great improvement in school disci- pline over former years is expected. A few of the most noteworthy rules are here printed for public criticism: Expulsion from school will henceforth be necessary for the follow- ing offenses: 1. Chewing gum. 2. Shoving in the hall. 3. Powdering in public. 4. A boy in company with a girl. 5. More than one lesson unprepared. Commodore Craig has at last arrived in the U. S. after having been given up for lost upon his latest exploration to Mars. He returns with astonishing reports of the new found land. People of every country believe he is the greatest explorer and scientist the world has ever seen. Without a doubt the old name of f'Mars will be changed for the popular one now heard upon the tongues of millions, Craig-land. The new Ruby Cafeteria was seriously damaged by iire last night.

Whence did the pretty snowflakes come, I wondered, as they fell, Upon my coat were falling some, One shaped just like a bell, A drop of water once had been This tiny little flake, Once warm and clear, now white and keen, From a glistering lake, But it is melting on my sleeve, Clear water once again, Such wonders Nature does achieve Before the eyes of men.

A -an W . r 13 is f fffffkff lim n r ir I Fredricka's Failing REDRICKA, or Fritzie for short, was a freshman in high school and the one word Freshman describes her perfectly. She was a typical Freshy. Not only that but she was the bane of her older sister's life. Fritzie had one great failing, besides being a freshman, and that was an unceasing delight in puns. She was in the height of her glory when ever she was able to answer some one with a pun. Just as much as she liked puns, Ethel, her sister, had learned to hate them. She hated them, first, because she wasn't clever enough to think of them and also, because Fritzie was always able to get ahead of her. Every one knows, of course, how it hurts one's pride to have little sister get ahead of one. Every time Fritzie happened to think of an especially clever pun Ethel always answered her by saying, A pun, my dear, is the lowest form of wit. It just happened that on New Year's day Fritzie was feeling un- usually clever and was nearly driving Ethel mad by her clever re- marks. For instance, New Year's morning Fritzie was winding yarn for a sweater she was going to make. flt might be well to remark that the yarn was the brightest orange she had been able to buy. NVhat can you expect from a fl'8Si'llll3Il?i As usual she got her yarn all twisted in trying to make a ball and when her mother asked her if she was having trouble she replied, Oh! I'm all balled up! Then she turned to her sister and said, Wasn't that a yarn? As usual, Ethel answered, A pun, my dear, is the lowest form of wit. When she was setting the table for dinner and discovered that there was only enough butter in the house for the one meal she remarked, 'fMy how the butter flys! Then smiling sweetly she turned to her sister and said, How silly of meg of course, only the chimney flue! And she received the usual reply, Just before dinner Ethel said that she was so hungry she could hardly wait. VVithout a moment's hesitation Fritzie turned around and said, I just opened a can of plumsg go on out in the kitchen and eat yourself plum sick! Shortly after that the girls' mother was called to a sick friend and Ethel had to take charge of dinner. Between trying to get the dinner all ready and Fritzie's unceasing puns, Ethel felt as if she would go wild, so at last in sheer desperation she took Fritzie up to her TOOIH, 0 U 0 0 0 0 l 0 I I 0 I 0--I 0 Duo--0--0--0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0--0--0 0 0 U 0 22 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 locked her in and told her that when she would promise never to use another pun, she could come out. At first Fritzie considered it a joke but as time Went on and she saw that Ethel was in earnest, she began to worry, for she had no intention of missing out on a perfectly de- licious dinner. She waited a while longer and then she began calling for Ethel at the top of her voice. She received no answer. So at last she ran to the door and cried, 0! pun the door! Still no answer. She called again and again, but Ethel seemed not to hear. At last she sat down on the tioor to think it over and she made up her mind that she would never promise to stop using puns even if Ethel made her stay there all night. For an hour she sat there and by that time she was so hungry that she began to feel that maybe she would promise after all. She was just on the verge of tears when she broke into a smile for she found herself saying, 'Tm just like a false toothel haven't any nerve! This struck her so funny that she would have laughed aloud if she hadn't at that moment heard someone coming up, stairs crying, The someone was Ethel, who came to Fritzie's door and without even unlocking it said, Oh Fritzie! I've done something awful! I was trying so hard to have everything nice at dinner and when I went to pour father's second cup of coffee I dropped the coffee pot and spilled coffee all over mother's new table cloth! Why, how upsetting! exclaimed Fritzie sympathetically. Of course one couldn't expect sympathy from you, came from the other side of the door, and Ethel walked off, 'Tye done it for sure! Fritzie said to herself. She won't let me out at all now. I wonder if there is any chance of escape through the window? She went to the window, opened it, put her head out, and saw that there was no chance for escape. In disgust she brought her head in, bumping it on the window sash as she did so. I'm so awk- ward, she complained, and then with her usual cheerfulness she added, Such is life-just one bump after another. Louise Starkey E4. Bedtime Stories For Freshmen O MICE talk and converse as human beings do? XVell, I should say they do. I know it because one afternoon we were decorating the church in Cloverton when I saw a mouse run across the floor. I followed it to its hole and there I heard voices. One mouse was saying to the visitor: Why, good afternoon, Marie. Come right in and make yourself at home. You really must excuse the way my house looks though, for lately the most people have been here decorating this church, and I've just had to scurry around and keep out of everybody's way. f'At first I didntt know what it was all about but I heard a man say, 'These are going to be the best exercises for graduation that Clover- ton has ever witnessed' They are to be tonight, may dear. Oh, I tell you Marie, you must stay and lunch with me on some of the crumbs left from the supper they gave the graduating class, and see the exercises afterwards. 23 ,-. ' -' -'Y 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 At seven thirty that night I stationed my chair near the hole of the mouse hostess so that I might hear her account of the performance to her friend. Oh, look Marie! she said. What? Can't you see? I'll tell you all about it then. All the people are in the church and the graduating class is seated in a semi-circle on the stage. Now a big impressive looking man with a white vest and gold watch chain is getting up to speak, I can't hear all he's saying, but it's something about 'our fu- ture citizens of Cloverton-and sons and daughters of respected in- habitants of our gr-owing young city!' He's announcing 'the first num- ber on our program will be a recitation, tCurfew Shall Not Ring To- Night,' by Miss Elviry Hempstead. Elviry's getting up now. What does she have on? Well, she has a pink dress with puffed sleeves and wasp waist and a green sash. Oh, her hair is red fand so is her facel and it's parted in the center, slicked straight back and tied with a green ribbon. She's reciting very dramatically-no, very automatically. Well she's through. I wonder if Ezra Perkins who will render us a vocal solo, 'Silver Threads Among the Gold,' will do as well. Ezra has on the handsomest checkered vest and red tie, but my goodness, don't you think his singing is awfully fiatted? Amanda Brown, that tall freckle faced girl, is giving the senior class's farewell speech. It's something about 'this class of nine grad- uating pupils bids farewell to the old school with streaming eyes and breaking hearts, that-that, etcf She has stopped and she is looking for some one in the audience. She's shifting around from one foot to another and-why I declare-she's crying and has to take her seat. Too bad-poor girl! Now George Howland, Judge HoWland's son will follow this with a speech about the future of the seniors, and the twins, Henry and Henrietta Peters, are going to give a dialogue. What is the matter with Henry's shoe string? It's the longest one I ever saw and it's untied, too. He's advancing toward his sister- Bang! he tripped on his shoestring and fell and the audience is laughing! Well, Annabelle Marsh's reading, 'The Pilgrim Fathers' ought to sober them up. There are only two people left and they are going to conclude the program with a duet, 'Home Sweet Home.' Isn't the organ wheezy, though? lt's 'most all over now and that tall man is telling how they will miss this fine class of boys and girls and how well the program has gone off. He's saying that at this late hour fit's only nine o'clock, MarieJ they will depart for their homes, always to remember this excellent per- formance?

Twice the class to her that there is to the girls around heref' 'tYes. the second speaker replied and she's as thin- Oh! The little figure, huddled out of sight in the depths of the big davenport, could hardly keep her indignant ejaculation from be- coming audible. t'Oh, oh, oh! She stuffed her lingers into her ears and burrowed her pretty flushed face into the pile of downy pillows. Then the brown head came up and a small foot came down with some- thing very near a stamp. By this time the persons eliciting her in- dignation had passed on, but she knew who they were. She was very sure of that. Who cared for Fred Nelson's opinion of the girls around here or any place else? Not she. Bob Banning was differentg at least she had supposed him different, but he was really just like the rest. Just like all boysg for of all ungrateful, disloyal, blind stupid creatures boys took the banner. To be taken in by a girl like Elaine Blake! To slight the girls of their own crowd! And Bob Banning admired Miss Blake because she was thin. No doubt he thought her fat. And he had always pretended to admire her. Hadn't he even told her one time that girls of her type just suited him, the deceitful thing? And all the time it was thin, scrawny, girls like Elaine Blake that attracted him. Well she was through with them all. Finding her way to the telephone she called up her father to come for her-she wanted to get home early. Then murmuring an indistinct excuse which included 'theadachew and home early and father to her surprised hostess, she was ready when the familiar honk sounded outside. Safe in her own room she gave full vent to her indignation. The evening had been horrid-horrid. oooooso canoe ooooeoc--o--one--n-use uno ooo ooooacoooo 25 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER--THE TATLER 1921 It had all come about through the guest that Helen Lodge had brought home with her from school for the Thanksgiving vacation. Helen Lodge was such a-well Mother had given her a lecture on slang that very morning, so she supposed she shouldn't say boob- but if she couldn't say that how was she to express her opinion of Helen Lodge? Helen was always ready to follow anyone's lead, to bask in the reflected light of anyone a little extreme and Helen was enjoying immensely the sensation that Elaine was making. It wasn't just this thought that stirred her wrath, Rosemary told herself and truthfully too, it wasn't that she was jealous of Elaine's popularityg there was something about Elaine Blake that made her feel she was not worth all the attention she was getting. The pretty red lips set themselves into such a grim line as she met her reflection in the mirror that not even the dimples in the corners came out. Oh dear, it is terrible to be fat! one hundred and ten pounds! and I don't sup- pose Elaine weighs more than ninety-eightg I have always wanted to be thin. It is most interesting looking. I'll just show Bob Banning I can get thin, if that's the kind of girls he admires so much and then S-then I'll let him know that his type doesnit interest me in the least. With the true spirit of a soldier, Rosemary took herself in hand. The next morning she ate her grape fruit and a little dry toasty the rest of the things she left untasted. Then after hunting out the vari- ous diets for reducing she had clipped from the Woman's Corner of the paper, and deciding on her course of action, she walked down town and back. Elaine and Helen had departed but Elaine had promised her host of admirers to return at the Christmas holidays and already festivities were being planned in her honor. Rosemary kept herself out of things for the weeks between the vacations. She had two reasonsg first her diet did not include fudge that was invariably served at the parties or ice cream or anything that made life worth while. Even the box of candy that Uncle John had sent her for Thanksgiving-and Uncle John always sent simply delicious candy-was locked away with only one piece missing. Her other reason was that she thought it would be a good lesson to some people to know that her world could go on without them. Three times in one week she had given study or other engagements as an excuse for not accepting Bob Banning's invitations, and other boys she had put off the same way. A week before Christmas her Mother remarked at the breakfast table one morning: Do you know dear, I have been wanting to tell you how pleased I ani with the way you have been attending to business lately. Bed at nine o'clock, and all the lessons prepared with of course an occa- sional good time thrown in, is my idea of what is proper for a young girl. You looked so sort of peaked around Thanksgiving that I was beginning to worry about you. But I have never seen you looking ooooooo e one noone og..o........,..........0 ,.. ,,,,,,,,. 26 1921 COMMENCEIYIENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 betterg your color is so good and your eyes so brightg why I venture you have gained five pounds in the last two weeks. t'Why Mother! exclaimed Rosemary in dismay. I have notg I'm not nearly so heavy. I've been dieting and I've surely lost instead of gained. Her mother laughed merrily, Well, you surely don't look it, dear! There was little consolation in her mother's compliments and she was out of humor when on turning the corner she met Bob Banning, the first time in days. Why Rosemary he said where have you been keeping yourself? We've missed you from everything for the last two weeks. The bunch is going skating tonightg won't you go with me? Rosemary ignored the last requestg she preferred skating to all other sports and even in her present mood she couldn't Hnd it in her heart to refuse this invitation right on the spot. Oh, I don't imagine it was I you have been missing from the good timesg it was probably the absence of Elaine Blake that has been making things dull. Let's see, she and Helen will be here the last of this week, won't they? Elaine Blake! Bob's voice expressed genuine astonishment. I am sure I don't see why you think I should have missed her. Be- sides, she isn't coming home with Helen again. Haven't you heard about it? It seems Helen's folks didn't approve of Elaine and they gave Helen the choice of cutting the whole bunch that she had gotten in with or coming home. I guess Helen chose school, but it's all off with her and Elaine. Then she won't be here for the holidays? Too bad! You boys will be disappointed, wonlt you? Now see here, Rosemary, you don't mean to insinuate that I fell for Elaine, for I didn'tg I sized her up from the very first. Oh yes you did Bob! A little of the iciness had left Rosemary's voice but she was going to show him that she wasn't so easily fooled as he thought. You were just as much taken with her as any of the boys. Didn't I hear you myself praising her?l' When did you hear me? Rosemary, I tell you- Why Bob I heard you with my very ears say you thought her thin. Yes thin! that's just what I said to Fred. Thin you know, noth- ing to her. Just light and showy, that's all. I meant mentally, not as a compliment, you know. Fact is, though, she is thin, isn't she scrawny? I never did admire that type, I like the ones with the dimples, you know. Rosema1 y's were all showing now and he was on safe ground. They had also come to the class room door and he had just time to say, You,ll go tonight, won't you Rosemary? Yes, if Mother thinks it all right she answered and her world looked very rosy again. For she liked Bob and skating and Uncle John's candy and all had again entered her life. .. Patricia 0'Keefe, E5.

Then, as the wind blew stronger still The trees responded to his will, And sang this song entranoing: Last night when the moon was high in air And stars were twinkling everywhere, The fairies all came out to play And frolicked till the break of day, Their gauzy wings of rainbow hue A-sparkle with the diamond dew, Flitted in the changing light Made by the candles of the night. The trap of a mortal's court The pranks of Puck and all his sort, A living drama for me made As through the night the fail ies played. But, hark! there fell upon the ear The sound of a trumpet deep and clearg The queen with all her court array Had vanished at the dawn of day. Viola Jewett E7. What's in a Name? ISS LORIMER'S pupils were greatly depressed. The last day of school, before the Christmas vacation, she had told her classes that she would not be with them when they would return from the holiday festivities. I know I shall miss being with you boys and girls, for I have indeed enjoyed your company, she said. Oh Lorimerj, said Ted Knotts, 'fmaybe we won't have those interesting debates any more. It's going to be hard to understand a new teacher's methods. I fear that I shall lose interest in my study because with Miss Lorimer I always looked forward to having perplexing questions straightened out, remarked Percy Penny, the prize pupil of the class. Any one who could imagine Percy losing interest in deep problems must have been possessed of a very vivid and unnatural imagination.

Now I am going to tell you something which I am sure will be of great interest to you. A lady is to fill my position whom I know you will all admire. Her name is Miss Prudence With- ers. I once had the opportunity of meeting her and I know you will enjoy her acquaintance. The Christmas vacation came and went. School opened and Miss Lorimer's pupils, coming into the familiar room, remembered that she would not be there. The Hrst bell rang, and as there was nothing to do they talked in low tones for fear that the new teacher would arrive at any moment and hear them. Miss Prudence Withers! That sounds rather dried up, doesn't it Felix? asked Ted Knotts of a disconsolate looking boy at his right. Uh huh, it does rather, and it sounds rather wise. The Prudence part of it, I mean. Mercy, this suspense is very disconcerting, exclaimed Percy the perfect. But I suppose we must take things as they come. I've just been dreading this day, and I must say the name certainly doesn't improve the outlook. This last from Madge Downs. I sup- pose she'll wear her hair tight back, and it will be straight as an In- dian's, and she will wear large amber-rimmed 'specsf Yes, I mean 'specs,' she added seeing Percy's look of disapproval. And, she continued, she will be continually frowning at our mistakes. Her name certainly gives her away. There was a sound at the door and the boys and girls stopped breathing for a second. The door opened and a stern-faced woman walked primly to the desk. Settled there, she looked them over criti- cally, and at last broke the silence by saying, I suppose now that the holidays are over you will one and all be doubly earnest in continuing your work. V Could it be possible? Yes, she truly was taking some amber-rimmed specs out of a case and was adjusting them on her nose. I have brought a book along with me, which I am sure will be of great benefit to you. It is directly in line with the work I understand you are to take up. Then she opened the book and began to read in a dull, monotonous voice, pronouncing words of amazing length with wondrous ease. Some time was spent thus, and finally the first bell rang. She con- tinued to read, and not till the last bell rang did she close the book. For t0l1l0I'I'0WYS assignment you may write a synopsis of what I have just read. You may pass. The class rose mechanically and tiled out in solemn procession. Little was said by these orderly pupils and it was not until the next day at the same period that there was opportunity to discuss the happenings of the day. Each was armed with a synopsis. Some time passed and as the last bell had rung some time ago, the foremost of the class held a whispered conversation.

Yes, I admit that you were a good prophet, said Percy nodding. Just then the door opened and in came a sweet-faced woman with fluffy brown hair and sparkling brown eyes. My! she exclaimed, I was almost sure I had mistaken the room. It's so quiet here. I thought perhaps this room was vacant this hour, but I looked in to be certain. She did not notice the interested and somewhat bewildered look on the faces before her. I know I'm going to have a pleasant time teaching this class. You all seem to be so earnest. Growing bewilderment on students' faces. I was sorry that I could not be here yesterday, so we could have become acquainted sooner. I suppose you know my name, don't you?', Percy, the self-possessed answered rather weakly, Why-er we are not sure, I believe. Why, it's Miss Prudence Withers, she said sweetly. Whew! exclaimed Ted Knotts, who was now on the road to re- covery. Miss VVithers. I'd like to ask a question please, said Maude Crowley. Certainly, I am always ready to answer sensible questions. Do you know the name of the lady who took your place- yesterday? Yes, she answered graciously. That was Miss Fanny Darling. Ruth Klimpke E6. His First Dance HURSDAY night, Harold Hall had been accepted into the A. E. R, High School Club. He had been told to come the following evening for initiation. Friday had gone much too fast for Harold and in the evening, as he was walking up the club house steps, thinking how he would keep his dignity and grace through the horrible ordeal to come, the door opened and he was handed a large white envelope on which was plainly written: Harold Hall Do not open, until promptly eight-thirty tomorrow evening. On your honor.-A, E. R. Quickly he put the letter into his pocket. It was like a pound of lead. As he reached home, he gave it to his mother to keep until the fateful minute. Eight twenty-five, ,Saturday evening the letter lay before Harold. At exactly eight-thirty he feverishly opened it and read aloud: . ......g..g.....g..g..g........g..g..Q..g..5..g..Q..Q..g..g.....g.....g.....g..g..gag..g..q..,..Q...........,..,........g.-gum.: 0 o 0 30 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Harold Hall At exactly nine o'clock this evening you are expected to be at the Kimble Kross Klub Dance. You are to be dressed as slick as though you had had a twenty-four hour notice. You must dance with at least five strange girls. A. E. R. Now Harold had never been on a dance hall floor in his life. He turned pale and really trembled, then he began to imagine many odd things. lVas he going to be like one of those characters of the foolish dance comedies he had often seen at the movies? Everyone would laugh at him and call him a Hayseed. How could he get a girl to dance with him after they all found out that he could not dance? They would make fun of him. Oh! If he could only escape, be taken suddenly ill or something. But that was impossible. He had to go. At eight forty-five with a red face, shiny oiled hair and his best suit and shoes on, Harold was running for the street car. His overcoat was part way on one arm while the other hand was trying to pull his cap on. ' At thi-ee minutes past nine, Harold entered the door of the dance hall. He checked his overcoat and cap, then managed to slide across the slippery dance hall floor. Finally he found a seat right beside a girl. Harold was not bashful but he did not know how to dance. The orchestra began to play a dreamy waltz. Harold glanced dazedly toward the outer door where he saw two young men from the A. E. R. club. He must be game, but what should he do? What could he do? He had heard some one say, a long time ago, that one could learn quite a little about dancing by watching the dancers' feet. Harold watched every movement. He became very much interested but was interrupted by a voice. It was one of the club men addressing the girl beside him, This is my dance, isn't it Elaine? Then a piece of white paper Hoated to the floor. After the couple had gone, Harold picked up the paper, on it was written: Only seven more dances. He must get busy. Over across the hall sat a blonde girl. Hesitating, he stood, fixed his collor and tie, then walked slowly over in front of her. Pulling down his vest and coat he began. Er-a-This is-er-my dance-isn't it-um- Elaine? Surprise was registered on the girl's countenance. Seeing this, Harold hastened to correct himself by saying, A-o-I want this dance. May I have it?,' The surprising answer came, Certainly. Oh, what a time that was for Harold. Everyone was stepping on his heels or else trying to knock him off his feet. And the poor little girl he was dancing with-what did she think? Looking down at her, Harold saw that she was smiling. That was some encouragement at least, if the smile was meant for him. At any rate, Harold was de- termined to finish. It was becoming almost easyg he had decided that it was great fun-then the music stopped. Forgetting to thank the girl for the dance, he escorted her back to her seat, Then bowing twice very politely, he went over to his old place by the door. ,,.4...........9.....,..g..q..g..g..g..g..g.....g.................g..o1-0-.,..o--Q--g...........,.....,..g.....,..g..,.....g... , , , , -1 01 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TRTLER 1921 The next dance was a foxtrot. Harold started to push his hair back with his hand. andAwhy his forehead was wet with perspiration, his hands were damp and cold while his face was burning- honest sweat, indeed, it was. It seemed the hardest work he had ever done. The rest of the work proceeded fairly well, butgwhen fate decided that he should have a partner who did not know much more about dancing than himself, woe to Harold, he found that a crowded dance hall floor was no place for two persons such as they were. He also learned that by not thinking about his feet and watching the crowd, he could keep much better time and have more grace. Alas, when the last strains of Home, Sweet Home died away, there was a pang of regret in his heart. He would have liked to have started all over again. The following Friday afternoon saw Harold, for the first time down to Social Hour, reminding Betty of the third dance, coaxing Daisy for the next foxtrot and begging Ruth, who was the best dancer in the High School, for the last waltz. Then when Ruth promised to teach him many new steps, at her home, some evening, he could not imagine why he had so despised dancing one week ago. Eleanor Sigsbee E2.

Neither of the girls was bad looking nor were they handsome by any means. But Lauretta's name seemed'to help, for who wanted to go around with just plain simple Suzan Jones? Since the time Suzan entered the grade schools at the age of six her name had been a great source of annoyance, and pain to her. It was common for her to hear on the play grounds, Oh, it's just Suzie. And when all the boys and girls would hail her on the High School Campus by Hello, Suzie, it was too much. The second year of high school she entered her name as Suzetta Jones, it sounded a little better, but every one just laughed and cona tinued to call her Suzie. Two years later when she was in the graduating class she was still just plain, common, ordinary Suzie. The day of the try-outs for the senior play Suzie was not there, of course, for she knew that a part could not possibly be allotted to her. But the day after she was told to report to the Auditorium after school. Suzie reported and was given a small part of an Irish maid, for the Senior who conducted the play remembered Suzie's ability as an acl tress and as the dialogue was difficult thought she would do best. In a few evenings Suzie had learned her part to perfection as it was only a very short one, yet one which added somewhat to the humor of the little play. During all the rehearsals Suzie spent her time following the leading part-taken by Miss Lauretta Harrington-a thing she coveted beyond all else. In as short a time as Lauretta learned it, Suzie had also mastered it, and was sure at times she could remember the cues even better than Lauretta did. The evening of the play came, also the last dress rehearsal, but where was the heroine? No one knew where Lauretta was. After calling her home, the gifted senior managing the play received the startling and horrifying news that Lauretta was taken sick with diph- theria. There were only two things to considerg either they must find a substitute or refund the money for the many, many tickets already sold. It seemed impossible that they could find anyone. Just at this point Suzie came in for rehearsal and shyly asked of someone, What is all the trouble about? After she was told she said, I think maybe I could take it. I know all of it and I am sure I can follow the cues as well as she did. Many were rather dubious but they decided to have her take the part. The little High School was shocked beyond all belief when they heard the announcement just before the curtain rose, Due to the illness of -0--o--o-u-o--o-w-o-one--ol-anwas-rm-m.o--o--sau--um-mmm-wma--ono--o-9.0--...non-.4.-o--4-................ 33 1921 OOMMENCENIENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Miss Lauretta Harrington, Miss Suzetta Jones will substitute in her place. All over the auditorium could be heard the exclamation, Suzie! The play was a great success although the part of the Irish woman was left out. Suzetta carried her part with the highest possible honors and from then on Suzie Jones ceased to existg she was now Suzetta. Florence Johnson E3. The Snowflakes One night from out a winter sky, A multitude of snowiiakes slipped, NVhite-Winged creatures of the air, And caught by rough winds while on high, They fluttered here and everywhereg And clothed the earth in white. Like tiny stars the snowflakes seemed The symbols of true purity. Like fairy flowers delicate, These rarest gems from heaven gleamedg Designed in patterns intricate Like dainty bits of lace. At last they reached their journey's end, And softly settled on the earthg Each branch and twig they crowned with snow, The housetops, trees, and earth to blend, That the snowflakes in the morn might show A mantle over all.

W'e, who as Seniors must leave our Work on The Tatler, feel doubly the changes this time will bring. Although the publication has meant work often long and laborious to us all, yet we gladly served in Various capacities, We feel a sincere appreciation of the co-operation which has made these Tatlers possible, To the student body of West High we offer heartiest thanks for their patient perusal of these pages as well as for their actual support in many ways. We are grateful to the faculty and especially to The Tatler advisers for their interest and their untiring help. Because of our efforts this year to make The Tatler one which is worthy of W'est High, the foremost thought in our minds today is the hope that The Tatler may always flourish and prosper.

OFFICERS President, Helen Crouch Vice President, Isabelle Diehl Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Potwin The West Athletic Girls' Association has been one of the organiza- tions of WVest High for the past three years. Its object is to make the girls strong physically, mentally, and morally. For two years the first and second degrees have been awarded by the W. A. G. A. to the girls who have successfully completed certain specified requirements. This year the degrees will be awarded, but it was deemed advisable to change the requirements. The awards for the degrees are in the form of monograms. The first degree has the blue letters, W. A. G. A., while the second has the yellow letters. The first degree can be won by earning eight of the following points: l. Gymnasium-for receiving a grade of two or above for class work. 2. Apparatus--for completing four of the following: a. Rings-one round trip. b. Long horse-front vault, flank, or riding seat, three-fourths circle. c. Bars-rear vault, or traveling. d. Trick-stride vault, front vault, flank, or standing jump. e.

The other four teams were given hard battles and in most of the games it was anybody's win till the final whistle. We eliminated Ames, Boone, and Grinnell from the title race and we were also the only team to score on Grinnell this season. This was accomplished in the final quarter when with West High iight we made 14 points, ending the game 28-17. The team fought hard and clean till the final whistle in every game. This is the spirit of West High over and over again. We landed two of our men- Lawson, tackle, and Orebaugh, end, on the all-city team. Orebaugh also won a place at end on the all-state team and he is considered one of the best kickers and receivers of the forward pass in the Iowa High School football season of 1920. Captain Smith worked hard and did his best to make this year stand big in West High football. For next year there remain: M. Coon at centerg C. Coon and Ro- mano, guards, J. W. Clark and probably Lawson, tackles, Bilz and R. Clark, ends, Brown and Lutz for quarter, Allward and Flaherty, halvesg and Berg and Cordaro, fullback. With these first squad men back under the leadership of Coaches Harris and Freberg, West High has an extra good chance to win the state title next year, if the school and the team back each other as they should and as they did this year. The men who won their W. D. M. this year are Smith, McGregor, Lawson, Stocking, J. W. Clark, M. Coon, Ray Clark, C. Coon, Berg, Orebaugh, Allward, Knotts, Romano, Cordaro, and Bilz. The men who won the W., the secondary letter, deserve much credit, as they helped make the first team. They were: Brown, Flaherty, Lutz, Mead, Ford, Amend, Anderson, Sweeney, Jacobs, Chesley, Kille- brew, Severson, Stacey, Hammond, Koebrick, McCoy, and Cohen. The yell leaders awarded monograms for their excellent Work were Johnstone, Tillia, and Strief. This is the first time any award has been given to the cheer leaders. 1920 Schedule and Results West Des Moines 12 Boone 7 VVest Des Moines 48 Ames 0 West Des Moines 14 Fort Dodge 17 West Des Moines 28 Grinnell 17 1Vest Des Moines 0 East Des Moines 14 iWest Des Moines 0 North Des Moines 13 West Des Moines 16 West Waterloo 21 Total 118 Total 89 .g..g..g..g..p.g..g..g..g.4-.g..g..g g..g..g..p..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. 5 Q g 9 g g 9.4..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g.....g..g..g..g,. 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Knotts was also a winner of the W D M monogram .g..g..g..g..q.-g..g-.Q--3.-Q--g.-g--g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g.....5..g..p..g..g..q..q..g..g..g..g..g..g..g.4.4.-g..g.. 46 1921 OOMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 F 4 Koebrick and Chesley were also winners of the W mo rlogram 'l . . . l QNO O'lQ0'O .

F EATURE5 V E 1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 The West High 'Mythical Eleven As Selected By Ivan Adamsapple Ends4Miss Fegtly and Miss Hafner Were selected because of their preponderous ability to intercept passes down the wrong stairway dur- ing a tire drill. Tackles---Gordon Johnston and Jane Kaufman were chosen because they were in every play. Guards-Albert Bennett and Eldon Parker were chosen because they have demonstrated that they can guard their lunches against the jam going into the cafeteria. Center-f-Gretchen Habenicht was picked because every time there was a dance she was the center of the ball. - Quarterback and Captain-Myron Thompson was unanimously picked by all the critics of the game because when you loan him Hfty cents you get a quarter back. Halfbacks-Ralph Amend and Ralph Hadley were selected after much thought, barely nosing out Bob Lawson, because of their ability to make interference, cover ground, and stall for time. Fullback-John Stotts was chosen on account of his everlasting kick- ing, his ability to kick out of bounds, and the kinetic energy coupled with the centrifugal force he puts into his smashes. As is customary, I will add that the second team can give the first team a battle for the positions they hold and the honors bestowed upon their innocent heads.

Sheriff Carolyn Hinsdell was hot on the trail And succeeded in landing bold Billy in jail. The Records say that the dog catcher of Nick Is the honorable person we called Marie Quickg That the order of 'tCats has as High Chief Blarney Our shy and demure Kathryn McCarney. We see by the papers that Virginia Neff Skipped out Wednesday night and eloped with a chef, And that Allegra Mitchell, whom we thought very sane, W'as arrested for bootlegging on a Milwaukee train. Miss Mary Madison is making a hit As a tonsorial artist in the village of Britt, While Miss Mary Hatfield, we would casually mention, For between two young men she's the bone of contention. At 215 Locust Street, where all the girls stop, Stanton Marquardt is running his manicure shop. Wendell Moore, his side partner, does the permanent wave And knows how to do it to make the girls rave.

Commencement Issue 4 1 I J 1921 JUNE COMNIENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Mr, H. T. Steeper, our principal, came to us last September from Great Falls, Montana. Although he has been with us only these two semesters, he has be- come almost indispensable to us and we do not see now how we ever managed without him. He has been a part of the West High spirit from the first and the things he has done for us have become necessary parts of our school life. NVords cannot show you the man, but every student in West High has become a little Iiner this year because of his friendship with Mr. Steeper. He is an excellent principal, a sincere friend, and a good man, and West High hopes to MR. H. T. STEEPER keep him for some time to come. Last fall when we again entered the halls of West High, the older students were agreeably surprised, for they saw in the office and the halls an old familiar face which had been missing for a year. It was that of Mr. Weeks. He had returned from his war work and taken his place in West High as vice principal. There is no need of saying that he has discharged his duties as vice principal and athletic manager of the school successfully, for everyone knows that. However, we are pleased to note that his absence did not seem to affect the old West High Spirit in him except to make it all the stronger. Through the whole year this enthusiasm and spirit has radi- ated from him and Mr. Steeper and permeated the whole school until now we see the beginnings of a come-back staged by the old-time West High Spirit. The sight of Mr. Weeks again makes it seem like old times. But already it seems as if he had never left us, so completely has he stepped back into his position among us and into the hearts of both the faculty and the students. MR. N. H.

Senior Class Gladbrook High With raven hair and well-known name, Hc's beginning early in acquiring fame. Presidenfs Address We leave with exultant hearts, weighted by the chains of regret. We leave, feeling that we have been of service to West High and feeling that West High has been of infinite service to each of us. As we now bring into critical review each year, each day, each hour, and each moment, we realize that mistakes have been made. But with such a realization we truly feel that those unfortunate endeavors were but to better contrast our many accomplishments. We stood shoulder to shoulder in staunch determination as we passed through the horrors of famine, fire, epidemic, and war. Each of these obstructions we have cleared from our path and we now rise as a body 'crowned with the laurels of victory. Never before have the fires of love and appreciation flared as they now do. West High is dear to each of us. We love every one of its class roomsg we love every colored and dingy addition: we love every brick in its structureg but we are drawn on by the unrepelled hand of time. Never shall we forget the refining spirit embodied in each school tra- dition. The habits and characteristics of each of us have been molded within these walls, and their influence will cling through our future success. ..,.....,........,..,..,..,..,........,..,....................,..,..,.....,..,..,..... . , , . . . ,.....,.....,.....,..,.....,..,.....,. Page Twenty-nine 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 In the game of life we find our physical prowess but a foundation for intellectual development. And as the game is played in this boundless field we find him of mental eliiiciency directing our being. May it be des- tined that the endeavors of each of us be diverted into such channels. As we visualize and picture our future, so shall it be. That prophetic voice within our souls, unmindful of our wavering consciences, whis- pers in acute assurance that these are the big things of life and the things to strive for. Tender in the heart of every classmate are the sweet remembrances of our days spent here. Dear to us is the friendship of every school- mate and teacher. May God bless each of them. And as a friend to each of you We bid our fond adieu. Samuel Orebaugh. Class Poem 'Ere we go forth to Life's conliict, to strive in its perilous warfare, Pensive and sad. let us pause to speak of our hopes and ambitions, Voice, if we can, our feelings of love and indebtedness, partly, Humbly beseeching thy blessing, O, West High, and promising simply Always to do our best, to follow the paths you have shown us, Adding, by all our deeds, some honor and praise to your record. Even as Freshmen we loved you: our passion out-did us in stature, Striving to keep thy name bright, to be truly builders, not knockers, Patterning after our elders, who offered us shining examples, Loving, defending, exalting the standards of West High the whole year. Then, as complacent Sophomores, whom little could rouse but thy pleadings, Still to our school was given our loyal, whole-hearted devotion. Down at thy feet we placed whatever of power was in us, Saying, O Foster-Mother, accept what is worthy thy using. Nearer the goal were we drawing, and closer the day of departure, When, as strong, laboring Juniors, to Thee still the fruits of our striving 4--l--M-0--0--0--0--0--o--0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 a 0 0 0 s o que.-on0--o--0-'O--0--0--I--0--0--vU 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Page Thirty 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Brought we, as children to Parent, obeying, nor caring to question. West High and her traditions have been our Hrst sweethearts, the best ones. Now, as her Seniors, we cry, Long live, O, most wonderful Spirit! Ever and ever march onwardg may victory ever attend Thee! Proud may she be to rest in Thy halls, to abide with Thy emblems. Schoolmates, O, dear Underclassmen, who have fought at our side the good battle, You who in daily toiling have helped and inspired us always, Yours be the joy with which we, setting out from your midst, can no longer Thrill in the pulsing of youth, and Whose warmth can enclose us no longer. Yours, O, Class of 'Twenty-two, be the torch which, reluctant, we part with, Carry it high, as have we, to gleam through the dark mist of evil, Guiding the wandering youth to places of joy and contentment, Unmindful ne'er will we be, but will think of you much with affection, Always with interest deep in your contests of brain and of muscle, Ready to help if we can, but too glad to repay in some measure Our obligations to Thee, O, school of our joys and our sorrows. Thus do we leave thee behind, and sadly we pass from thy threshold, Carrying deep in our hearts the imprint of our loved Alma Mater. fWith due apologies to Henry W. Longfellowj Katherine Smith, E8 Class Song Here's to the Class '21, Long may its memories last! School days o'er, ' Life before, Soon they will all be a sacred past. Sweethearts and friends say good-by, Parting to never return, But in our leaving We'll cast out our grieving And just say good-by, old West High.

Can't you see the crepe? Yes, the spirit has departed for parts unknown, Though the class is greatly mourned, the large estate of the late senior class is divided equally among its survivors. To those nearest: Helen Crouch, Miriam Kirbye, Gertrude Teach- out, Chauncey Howe, Margaret Lewis, Bill Strief, Alice Ely, and Bob Killebrew, we leave rose-colored memories of many happy hours of pleasure spent in the company of democratic seniors, To Katherine Van Meter, Sally Barnes, Marie Schuler, Jean Mac' Kinnon, Harriet Bredimus, Peggy Hunt, Gwen Bennison, Peggy White, Maxine Mather, Gertrude Arant, Peg Cummins, and Jerald Sherwood, Bill Wiseman, Si Biggs, Harry Mott, Norman Moon, James Myerly, George Tibbets, Jimmy Lutz, Bill Marsh, LaVerne Herring, Dick Rol- lins, Dave Schuyler, Wayne Summey, Joe Keefner, Chuck Cownie, Augie Bilz, Junior Schee, Gordon Lovegrove, and John Maddox, we leave all unconquered territory, advising only that our steps to victory be carefully followed and not to let the memory of our perfect success discourage your attempts. To some future Al Jolson we bequeath Al Levich's musical talent. May his bones jazz in peace. To Raymond Dalbey and Buck Brown we leave all track honors. To those deserving of the honor we leave the leadership of Kather- ine Gilmore and Sam Orebaugh, May the future presidents of the student council, football captains, and presidents of the senior class bask in the light of popularity now existing. To Ellsworth Holl and Alex Miller we bequeath the fair complexions of Milton Coppersmith and Wheeler Carpepnter. To the orchestra and band we extend our sympathies in their loss of Jarnagin, Knouf, and Chesley. To Sue Junkins we leave Beany Zwart's pep with the hope that she, also, will use it to advantage. To the Cooper-Bjorkman, Kirbye-Conner, Johnson-Bernd, Roth-Keef- ner, Proper-Ryan, De Bord-Bennison, Moore-Parrish, Hinsdell-Teachout, Wright-Herring, Orebaugh-Brown, Hewitt-Harley, Giltner-Utter duets we leave our locker doors and all window seats. To Julia Carpenter, Martha Richardson, and Clella Wright we leave the golden apple for beauty and conquest. To the school we bequeath the space occupied by the cars of Cot. Dalbey, Walter Ferrel, and Kenneth Seick. To the faculty we leave our thanks for their co-operation in turning out the future international leaders of po'itics, society, literature, and religion. To Katherine Kivits we bequeath Betty Lucey's popularity during social hour and to two girls who are new to the school next fall, we leave the popularity of Mabel Smith and Mary Hatfield. These, we, the Senior Class of 1921, being of sound mind and con- sidering the uncertainty of life, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Senior Class of June, 1921.

Page Thirty-two 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Our Class Reunion in 1946 Classmates, another year we have come together to renew old friend- ships, clasp again the hands of pals we've not seen for many a long year, and exchange reminiscences of the days that used to be. We need no introduction to one another, for what better introduction is there than to sit next any person in a mathematics class and suffer together in silence, as we called it in those days. But our four years spent in the big school on the hill were not all hardships. Not by any means! From our Freshman days to the days of our dignified Seniority, we experienced joy and frolicking in some form or other at every turn. Across the years, as these memories come to us, they do not, I believe, seem childish, but are surrounded by a tender halo of unforgettable happiness. Who, for instance, as a Freshman, can ever forget the bright May morning when, lilled with awe, he watched our beloved building in dan- ger of destruction from the demon iire? Or as Sophomores when our rival school, North, sent us their principal, Mr. Eaton? The institution of home rooms and record periods came then, We all recall. And as frolicsoine Juniors, how we studied a little and played a little, dream- ing of the next year! The long-looked-for year, year of wonderful prom- ises, arrived, and we were Seniors with a new principal, Mr. Steeper, who is with us today. Some of the happy moments we recall are the hot campaign carried on incident to the election of our class officers. the jollity of Kid's Day, trying out for places in the Senior play, class day, Baccalaureate, and then-the goal! What delicious little thrills of joy and sorrow crept along our spines as, dignified in caps and gowns, we gazed upon the sea of loving relatives and friends before us! Graduation was pleas-ant, but with separation and farewells came the heartaches. But, by our reunions, faithfully held year after year, we have strengthened the bonds of friendship. It is a splendid record for a class to have held reunions for twenty-five years. As for the years that have passed since that June evening in 1921, they have been characterized by success in some form or other for us all, Among our number are great scientists, doctors, lawyers, profes- sors, artists, and writersg in fact, every profession and trade is here represented. ' But for tonight we are not grown upg we are just high school stu- dents, pausing a few hours 'midst the busy whirl of the world, to feast and reminisce. Carefree and hopeful, with every seemingly gray hair, golden, brown, or black, every brow unwrinkled, we pause to meet classmates and say, Hello, old chum, how are you ? And in closing, old friends, let me urge every one to hold the date- June 9, 1947-in your hearts. For we shall meet again and be West High students for an evening. Erma G.

Stern faced Wendell Moore was in the judge's chair, His fair brow wrinkled with loads of care. Naidine Throckmorton, that quaint little dame, Now had Doctor prefixed to her name. Paul Hubbard, now old, feeble, and gray, For the Fountain of Youth, sought vainly each day. William Wickham for president once entertained hopeg Now he was agent for a shaving soap. Our dashing young friend, Len McCord, Had bought out old Henry Ford. Varina Hunter, now on the stage, Was the noted actress of the age. And that shy little girl who was Erma Snow, As an explorer to the South Pole, did go. Betty, in school never had any fun, So in a convent she was now a nun. Virginia Foster owned a millinery slmopg Gerald Hunter manufactured a new kind of pop. Helen Taylor had long since married And her second husband had just buried. Though bald and old, Chet McMichael Was agent for a motorcycle. . As older we grow, we all must fade, So Gretchen was destined to be an old maid. Allegra Mitchell was an author, but just the same, She had Mrs. prefixed to her name. And now we come to Lynn Stacey- I'm sorry to relate his lite was a bit racy. Dorothy Rawson, led by some mischance, Had become instructor of the latest dance. Lloyd Philips, tall and thin, An undertaker he had been. So be it, for better or for worse, Catharine Miller was engaged as a nurse. And Katherine Smith held a ninety-nine year lease On the office of justice of the peace. But imagine, if you can, Kenneth Seick as a missionary to Japan. -0 -0-0-0-r-0--0-0-o-0--Q--m-one-0-A--0--of-0--0-so-fu--1no-awowmm-4--o-who--0--0--one--v-of-0-0--0--0-0-0-0 -0--Q--on Page Thirty-four 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Katherine Gilmorestarted life as a lovelorn adviser, But ,wound up as a hypnotizer.

The Seniors 'Twas four short years ago we entered Longed-for gates of old West Highg How we feared the doughty Seniors, Wished for grade school days past by. As the weeks grew more in numbers, Grey-cloaked Latin would o'er us loom, I History, English, vied for honors, And Mathematics seemed our doom. Sophomores then, just one year nearer To the goal for which we worked, But o'er us seemed a shadow falling, For in foreign fields death lurked. There was War and Death and Famine, And our boys had crossed the sea, Ours the duty to keep smilling, Praying for the Peace to be. In our Red Cross rooms the hours Turned out bandages of gauze: Made the clothes for little children Whose oppressors knew no laws. Then at last it all was ended, Right, victorious, was the king, But our work was not yet linished, Sorrowed hearts we taught to sing. Then our Junior year we entered And what pleasures it did hold, Clubs and contests and dramatics And our heroes, athletes bold. In all fields we carried honors, All for her, dear old VVest High- She was in our thoughts forever, Just for her we'd do or die. Then at last they called us Seniors! 'Twas for us to pave the way- Ours the duty to be leaders Until our Commencement Day. In our work each day we've striven For the good of dear old West, To raise her standards, hold them high, And place her name among the best.

BSN? 55 For three and one-half years the class of January, 1922, has been striving to uphold the standards of West High, to the best of their ability. The individual achievements have of course, been great, but they are far too numerous to mention here. The result of this con- certed effort is the enviab.e position which they hold, as a class, today. Looking back over the years during which they have been endeavoring to do their best for themselves and for their school this group must feel pride in the realization that their class has been a credit to VVest High. With this past, it is impossible to conceive of them with any but a brilliant future. Much will be expected of those who step into the place of the class which is now leaving, and much, without doubt, will be realized. With the motto of their school ever before them, they should set a worthy example to the under-classmen and grad- uate with the honors usually attendant upon those who leave this school.

L One more year and then a worthy group of VVest High students leave the sheltering halls of this school and set out on their various walks of life. The Juniors have participated in almost every activity and they are to be envied the privilege of remaining another year in NVest High. They have set a good example to underclassmen by their good work and sportsmanship. We should expect big things from this class, as the prospects show they are going to push and strive to put over anything which they tackle. ln all possibilities, the Class of 1922 will be one of the best classes ever graduated from West High. i f :W A yy, , QFFHQN.C.00052.!1Al.J'mz,itHI'm.fI,S'i'AW!.H3'.5-I ITUUS. fagKring.iQififii'tiiiiPiii?'sii5 r.+.iiuii'. r-1. worm. wfrrmxn. -x. smrrn. fII'N'l:.'lf,U'CHH1N. mimi HUT-ffj13AXl.!N, uxumyrm. wium.

Certainly no more earnest class has ever entered West High than this Sophomore class. Such musicians, such artists, such all-round regular people are a credit to West High and no doubt will some day make the world Usit up and take noticef' It is with sincere respect that West High gazes upon these Sopho- mores. With their ability they are certain to represent her in future years in a most creditable way.

Page Fifty-two 4- 1921 JUNE COMNIENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TRTLER 1521 Freshmen 9 The Freshmen of VVest High, in making their debut to the school, hope to live up to, and meet our expectations, in the three years that are ahead of them. While yet but mere Freshmen they are proud of the class's name because they have already made a place in West High. They have set their standards high with a threefold purpose: to gain their high school training, to stand back of the old school in all activities, and last, but not least, to live up to the school's motto: 'Tor West High, I WVill. When their turn comes to be graduated, they want to be able to say they have fuliilled their duties to the best of their ability. Then they will have attained the satisfaction that comes only to those who deserve it. xox: new-xx sms'-x. itilih si rt, czslsm, xx xnkm-. ll lu1Xul1.iI,1,ll'X1'l!,U.l1 -may. mir mu. -me-1-wismx umm -, :mx zu-me u un ri' um. mr,xu.i:lxs.1'uLm:,1x::si-1s.u tlsuX.5X1Il'll tnzmv mm sv unwffmfn. pixma-x, r.mfm.x:K, .xi mzcru. lllNAl11.l.,fhXliKlil.ll. vs um, xnru N, min-Ks, in n 1-. mmm-, ' rm mu mm rr im I- mx sm xrarvm ilmurl, l!Xr'l-,T. lm-xxxm.nw rr was--x, mm xspw, mn-Hx 1:r:xxm.r: mvxx-ms.

I venture to say there is not one of us but who would give his life for his m0ther's sake, if necessary. There is rarely an occa- sion for giving your life, but many a one for thoughtfulness and con- sideration. We don't know what the little things we do for 'tMother mean in making her life happy because she loves us more than any- one else in the world and she is our best friend. Did you ever think of the heartaches we have caused her in some small act, perhaps, in which we have been thoughtless? Did you ever stop to think that she walked through the Valley of Shadows to give you life? How she tenderly cared for you in your helplessness? What a debt we owe to her for the lifetime of sacrifice which she has joyfully given that our pleasures be many and our sorrows few. Can we not show our appre- ciation and love for her in the small things that count? It does not take a great deal to make a mother happy 'and her pride in you is second to none. Remember that though a man were to lay down his life he could never pay the debt he owes to a Christian Mother. There is a little piece of poetry which expresses in simple words the mean- ing of Mother better than all the elegant words in the world: M is for the milllion things she gave me, O is only that she's growing old, 'KT is for the tears 'twere shed to save me, H is for her heart of purest gold, E is for her eyes with love-light shining, 'AR is right and right she'll always beg Put them all together-they spell 'Mother'- A word which means the world to nief' Chester McMichael, E8. ,.....................,..,.....,.. , ,.....,...........,..,........,..,..,..,..,.....,........,..,........,..,..,..,..,..,..,..,.....,..,. Page Sixty 1821 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TRTLER 1921 Ode to Seniors I E WAS terribly green When first he was seen In the halls and round about the school, But he worked day and night, For a goal was in sight And he made it his steadfast rule. II He improved with the years And he lessened the fears Of his friends, as with lessons he'd fight, And he went in for track Because he just had the knack Of bringing back laurels so bright. III He stood for old West Through her worst and her bestg He helped her through all desolation, Through thick and through thin He stood by with a grin And this trial was his consecration. - IV Oh, Seniors so grave, So true, and so brave, You set us examples to follow! Be loyal to school, Enforce every rule, For West High I Will is our motto. Gail Guile, E. 4. Getting By T IS NOT improbable that in the long run events in Germany will be the keynote to the European situationqin Jimwas just turning a page of Life when he heard Father make the remark to Mother. It is not at all likely that it would have gained even his passing notice were it not that it uncomfortably re- minded him that the next day's History assignment was on current events, the German indemnity in particular, with topics and sub-topics innumerable, and this was the first reminder he had had of it since he left the class. But luck, as he said to himself, had always been with Jimg so why distrust it now. More than likely he wouldn't be called upon and if he were, why--and with this comforting philosophy he was again lost in the enticing page. Never looked at it, was Jim's laconic and comforting announce- ment as he met his fellow students at the door of Room 62 at fifth hour the next dayg and the rest of the crowd, confessing the same lax- ity, he filed in with the others, a sympathetic hand of a comrade on either shoulder, D-'O'vOuM'O0O'4v9'M-lwOWOMb+OnOMQvO'llv4M0'OwCv4'4vO'40O-'01-lwlvl-'O''O O00--lvl'-l'vO0O0l'-lvOvO0O0Ov'O D' Page Sixty-one 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 But Mr. Davidson surely had his crowd spotted on this particular day. Question after question had battered against their phalanx and boy after boy had gone down in the slaughter. Mr. Davidson was be- ginning ito .grow red and a little incoherent and Jim knew it was about his turn, Somehow, he felt it would be better to volunteer than wait to be called, and as the fellow in front of him went down in confusion, Jim coolly remarked: 'tls it not possible that in the long run events in Germany may prove the key to the European situation? The words came out as glibly as if they had some meaning for him, and as he had a well-shaped head and passable face, why doubt his in- telligence? In any case, whatever it had to do with the key to the European situation, the statement seemingly was the key to the store house of Mr. Da.vidson's massive and retentive brain, for he launched forth on the subject of the German indemnity, giving it from the standa point of every nation, big and small, and so Jim settled back comfort- ab.y, knowing for the rest of the hour at least no effort on the part of any pupil would be necessary. Mr. Davidson checked himself in time to remark before the class was dismissed, My dear young people, why do you let your opportunities slip? History is being made now as in no other decade. Why do you not read and form intelligent opinions, as this young man fdesignating Jimj evidently has? And Jim, becoming conscious that he was being signaled out, preened himself and looked the part. One may as well pick up the gifts the gods throw at one's feet. Outside the door Jim did, however, pass some uncomfortable mo- ments because the situation was hard to explain to those smarting from the lash of confusion and ridicule. It was in vain he pointed out the fact that he had staved off Mr. Davidson. He was on the top and they were on the bottomg that was the matter and it was enough for complaint, Only by the most abject wheedling was he able to extract Jackson's note book from him in order that he might copy the proofs of the theorem that Jackson had honestly worked over the previous night. By putting on a little extra speed, he was able to get it copied before time to hand in his notebook and the next hour passed peac- ably. ' Altogether, fortune was at high tide for Jim that day, for on the way home Clarke Sanders, linking -a comradely arm in his, remarked: How about a date with Irene Valentine and her cousin tonight, Jim? Irene asked me to bring a'ong some nice fellow. You know her cousin is here from Chicago. Jim surely did know, and he knew all the fellows were crazy about her and would be green with envy at his luck in securing a date, and so he could not suppress the gulp of satisfaction with which he shot back, Sure, that is all right with me. It meant breaking a date with Betty Beechler and he hated that, but he had no doubt but that he could tix things up all right with Betty. She was a brick and he wouldn't for the world offend her: he had too hard a. time getting in right with her to risk that. But he was sure he could think up some- thing' plausible, which he did by seven o'clock. , '01-0 0 0 000 0 l-'I'-0 0000000000 000000000 00OO0O00000O0000 Page Sixty-tivo 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 The regretful voice with which he explained to Betty over the phone, how his mother had just been notified of the serious illness of a friend in a remote part of the city and father not being able to get away to drive herlover, the duty fell on him, aroused no doubt in the mind of the worth-while Betty. But fortune's tide began to ebb that evening, when on coming out of the theater with Irene's cousin, he was met in the aisle by Betty with her father and mother, and Betty's haughty little bow: only added to his confusion. It was still on its way to the ocean when Mr. David- son opened the class next day with the remark: And now, Ji1n, will you please explain to the class what you had in mind yesterday when you said that events in Germany wi.l be the key to the European situation? Shades of the past! When had he said such a thing? European situation, indeed! For the last twelve hours he had been unconscious of any other situation in the world except the one existing between himself and Betty, and he had forgotten there was such a place as Germany. But Mr. Davidson had him on his feet, and the drubbing the other fellows had got the day before was nothing com- pared to his. He was utterly routed, to the enjoyment of the class, and the evident satisfaction that Mr. Davidson seemed to get from the process made Jim suspicious that he had been either tipped off or heard some of the remarks after class the day before. And the tide was very low when in the Geometry class Mr. Roberts handed back his note.book saying: Will you write out the proof of that fifth theorem on the board, Jim? You left out the third and fourth proposition in copying it in your note book. But then even Fortune's Favored doesn't get by every day. Patricia O'Keefe, E. 6. Grandpa Attends His First Field Meet HY, hello, grandpa! Are you back so soon? We weren't look- ing for you for some time yet. Oh, John brought you in his car? Well, that was fine. You look tired, better sit down and rest now while I put supper on the table. I'm glad you could come out this nice day, I know you enjoyed it. Enjoy it! My sakes alive, Mary Ann, I'm jes' plum tuckered out. Why, I never did see such doin's in all my life. Those young folks jes' went crazy and that boy sittin' next to me sure did make a fool of his- self. I jes' wished every two minutes I'd stayed at home or else had a big 'kerchief to tie over his mouth! Why, that boy jes' yelled like a Comanche Indian, and got so hoarse I'll bet his Ma had to tie a turpen- tine rag around his throat when he got home. 'Everybody 'twas there jes' acted like 'scaped lunatics. Onc't or twic't I changed my seat, but everywhere I went it was jes' the same. You know when those chaps got to runnin' down there on that track, all the folks around me would jes' stand up and holler. Well, I couldn't see nothin' then and so I had to stand up, too. I looked down on that track, and there were a lot of boys all lined up as if they were a goin' to run or sumthin'. Right in front of 'em was a whole row of ................,..............,....., . . . . . . ..,.................,.....,..............,..............,...........,...........,.... Page Sixty-three 1921 JUNE COMNIENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 them hosses that carpenters use, right in the middle of the track. I was so skeered they'd stumble over 'em and break their fool necks, that I yelled, 'Get them things out of the road.' Do you know, they never moved a durn one of 'em and all the folks around me jes' turned and gawked at me and laughed. Well, first thing I knew, first one and then 'nother of those tellers was a jumpin' over them hossesg so I decided they must be there on purpose. I jes' had to set down, I was so weak, and all the folks in that stadium, I guess they call it, was whoopin' and yellin' like they's crazy. ' Purty soon they got quiet and then there was more doin's. Some fellers pulled themselves up with poles and jumped clean over a Iishin' pole without touchin, it. Some others had a rock tied on the end of a rope and they was a slingin' it around. Glad I wasn't near, 'cause if it had a hit me, it would a busted my head open! But law me! When they had the last race, I thought I'd never live to get home! They lined up those fellers in a row on the track, then purty soon one chap shot off a gun, and all those tellers started to run. I bet he jes' did that to scare those boys and make 'em run faster. Well, I couldn't get head or tail of what they's a'doin', and all those people around me was a yellin' so I thought my ear drums would crack. I decided 'twas no place for me and so I started to git out, and afore I knowed it, all the others was startin' to go, too. The way they pushed and crawled all over each other to git out! I thought there must be a tire, or else sumbuddy'd been killed and the police was after 'em.

An Exciting Experience I 7'IP-PEE! Get up Pete, come on Dorrit, we're off. 7 Coming, I answered. At last I was to enjoy a long coveted treat of a hunting trip with my father. The sun was just rising in the gorge to the left of Old Baldy and everything gave promise of a grand and glorious day for a hunting trip. A moment later I jumped on my pony and the journey was begun. After about a half hour's ride I stopped with a jerk, What can that be? I called, and added with a shudder, t'Oh, there are bleached bones all around. With a laugh my father drew up his horse. Nothing to be afraid ofg it's a bear trap. There was a triangle built up of logs, leaving one side open. Boughs were placed over the top and Father told me that the meat of a horse, or of some other animal, was placed in there as bait. There was a large log which had a heavy chain attached to it, on the end of which was fastened a trap. It was not set then, but the surroundings showed signs of its real use. After this we rode along in silence for a while. It was nearly noon when Dad drew up his horse and tied it to a tree. I stopped my pony and watched Father creep silently through the bushes. Then I heard a bang! A moment later he called out, Grouse meat for lunch today, so we might as well stop now to eat. Our dinner over, we started on, A large black cloud gathered over- head and in a few moments raindrops fell. t'We'll make it up to 'Squeaky' Bob's if we hurry. It can't last long, he said, as he urged his horse on. A By the time we had reached Squeaky's, the rain was coming down in torrents.

Squeaky accom- panied us a short distance, We hadn't ridden far when we came upon fresh bear tracks in the mud which t'Squeaky Bob insisted were as long as the distance from a man's elbow to his finger tips. Whew, but they are whoppers. He came pretty close to my cabin and hasn't been gone long. Though I shuddered, I wou.d not show my fright, but rode bravely on. We said good-by to Squeaky at the small mountain stream and continued on up the mountain alone. Suddenly the horses came to a stand-still and could not be urged to go farther. We had been fol- lowing the bear tracks for some distance, and from the actions of the horses, the old grizzly was very near. We had better pitch camp here, Dorrit, and maybe I can get a shot at that old fellow.

He was thinking, thinking hard. He thought of the evening before at the dance when all the boys and girls had made fun of him. But he c0u1dn't blame them. People had always called him a sissy and said he wouldn't amount to anything. Even his mother and father made fun of him. The only real friend he had was his sister Gwen. He had al- ways gone to her for help and she had always gladly given it to him. But now, what could he do? He had made up his mind he was not going to be made a joke of any longer. He had it! He wouldn't stay: he would run away and get a job and show people he amounted to something. He went up to his room and began packing his things, when, all of a sudden, he remembered about Gwen. She was coming in on the eleven thirty-five train and he would have to wait to say good-by to her. He was to meet her at the station. He planned to give her the car and then he would take the train to-. Well, he did not know where yet. It was only nine-thirty, but he must leave before his parents arrived home from the theater. With his hurriedly packed suitcase he left the house, got the car from the garage, and started to the station. It was now raining slightly and in the northwest, light peals of thunder told of an approaching storm. By the time he reached the station it was pouring rain, and zig-zag lightning ran constantly in the sky. He waited impatiently in the waiting room, thinking of what he would do that would prove him a success. He went outside and walked over near the railroad bridge that crossed the river, The train was due in fifteen minutes. Then, all of a sudden, a loud crash and a splash almost made him deaf. The bridge had been struck by lightning and part of it had fallen into the river. Jonathan's iirst thought was of Gwen. His second was to signal the train, He ran with the greatest speed of his car and with equal speed went down two blocks to the next bridge, crossed the river, and down the two blocks on the opposite side. He stopped, jumped from the car, and grabbed the lantern from the dumbfounded flagman. He could hear the whistle of the train. He ran wildly to the tracks and began swinging the lantern desperately in the air. The train appeared and evidently noted his signal, for it began to slow up. It came closer and closer and he backed up farther till he was at the end of that part of the bridge which had not fallen. The train stopped in timeg but in the next instant there was another crash and splash and the other half of the bridge on which Jonathan had been standing was floating down the river, in pieces, with the hero somewhere in its midst. There were shouts of Save him, but no trace of his body could be found. It was a sad place at the Grayson home that evening without Jona- than. fl''O0O0Ov'l0'lllC-'O''O0O0O'vO0Ov-I-'C0O0O Ov-il-Owivvlwle'C'-Ouiwiwivlll-O-lO0O0O O'fO I--INOMO-ll-'Owl-viwiwfvbs-000' Page Sixty-seven 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER1THE TATLER 1921 Mrs. Grayson said, I wonder if that boy who saved the lives of so many people could have been Jonathan? No, answered Mr. Grayson. Jonathan would never have had the courage to do a thing like that. Gwen said nothing, for she had a slight suspicion that the hero was Jonathan. She knew that he really did amount to something. An article came out in the paper that the hero of the train accident was lost, and next to it was a report that Jonathan Grayson had left home. Nobody linked the two together until two days later when Jona- than was brought home in an ambulance after having been found clinging to a piece of the railroad bridge. It was a very happy boy who lay in bed, receiving friend after friend, who congratulated him. He knew now that he had won and he was no longer the sissy Jonathan, but the hero, John. Helen Holloway, E3. Interview With Josiah Kirby R. JOSIAH KIRBY, president of the second largest bonding company in the world and one of the outstanding figures in - the recent Iowa Business Convention believes that the school's the thing, 'tThe school is a means to acquire greater efii- ciency . . . and efiiciency is one of the important qualities of a successful business man, he stated. According to Mr. Kirby, during the present business slump the inefficient man is being weeded out and replaced by the educated or efficient man. He advises every man to stay in school as long as he possibly can, The school gives you an opportunity to cultivate friends who will prove of inestimable value later in life. Mr. Kirby was questioned as to the opportunities in the smaller cities as compared with the larger places, such as Chicago and New York. He emphatically declared that the smaller cities displayed fully as many opportunities and advantages as the larger ones. He said that the ambitious man would succeed whether in a large or small place. The man must avail himself of the opportunities offered and not be forever grasping after some pot of gold under a rainbow, was the way he expressed himself about chasing after a will o' the wisp oppor- tunity. Every student that is interested in commercial or business lines should take a course in law. It makes no difference whether he is planning to become a lawyer or a business man. He should study law on account of the valuable mental training it affords. Along with this, Mr. Kirby said that mental work offers many more opportunities than work of a physical nature. Man can succeed in a larger way, he explained. Mr. Kirby first started work as a professional ballplayer, but he soon learned the value of using the head instead of the hands. Though still a young man, only thirty-seven years old, he is one of the leading men in the bond and mortgage business. When commenting upon his achievements he said, Nearly anyone would be able to succeed if he only would learn how to apply himself directly upon the problem con- fronting him and refuse to give up when discouragedm' Darwin Tillia. .g..g..gup..g..g..g..g..o..s-.o..o.4..Q..g..qug..g..q..g..g..g..g..g..9.4..g..g..9.4..gng..pq..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. Page Sixty-eight 1921 JUNE CONIMENCEMENT NUM-BER-THE TBTLER 1921 Memorial Day ELLOW CITIZENS: The time has come again when we should pause in our work to pay honor and respect to those who fought that this, our nation, might be preserved. It is fitting and proper that we take this day not as a holiday, but as a day in which to pause, ponder, and refiect upon the deeds of those brave men who have kept possible our present state of national prosperity. lt is with the most reverent feeling that we today crown the living with honor and pay tribute to the dead whose work was the mightiest and noblest of all great deeds. As time goes on our appreciation for their service grows more and more acute. Let us suppose for an instant they had failed in their task. The hope of Germany to wipe out forever the right of the people to govern themselves and to place that government in the hands of tyrants would have been realized. For it was owing only to the fact that our country was still the United States that this plan was thwarted. Oh, men, the world now realizes and appreciates your valiant deeds, and those who were your enemies, yes, even those who opposed you on the field of battle must love you and honor your name forever. And yet you could not know what the effect would be upon the future history of the world. To you it was your duty to keep alive the spirit of unity which W'ashington and his brave patriots fought to gain. And we wonder if you had known, realizing the full meaning of your work, could you have shown more zeal than you did and would you have entered the fray more resolutely to win? We think not. American prosperity was the one issue with you and no other question could have excited determination in the breasts of such heroes as you have proved yourselves to be. Some of you have been spared to reap with us the abundant harvest your labors have brought forth, For you we have wishes that the rest of your life may be the happiest. The others have gone before you. For them we have tears and for all, love, honor, and respect. And now, fellow citizens, let us consider our dutyg let us seek a lesson out of the deeds of these brave men. We must strive always to keep America as they would have it, one nation, one iiag, one people, bound together by common ties of good fellowship. To do this we must have always the best of feelings for our neighbor: we must share each other's burdens and every act must be for the good of all. Good fee'ing is the soul of liberty. It enables a nation to carry on its work without the hatred of another nation, which tends to make the weaker one the slave of the stronger. But when good feeling is dead the nation is like the forest that has lost its treesg the sultry rays of anarchy may beat upon it, destroying everything that would take root in its fertile soil. VVe must guard proudly the principles of this country which have meant salvation to the world. We realize that nothing we may do can surpass the things they have done, but we pray the Almighty Father will allow our work to be a iitting climax to theirs that we may in some measure prove that America means as much to us as it meant to them.

And when looking all around you At the doors on every side, When you think no one is looking Down the banister you slide. Then you start to find the oilice And you meet a senior grand, Then you think, in your simplicity, He'll lend a helping hand.

And climb the steps so blithely, 'Till standing by her chair, You find three hundred. school-mates All laugh because you're there.

We're goin' down to Barney's, they called, and you'd better come along if you don't want to miss a lot of fun. But still Jack was obstinate. With the door safely shut from temptation, Jack began studying dili- gently. All of this was very unusual and caused much wonder in the family. Jack, however, had a good reason for getting that particular lesson. - It was English-the most hated of all his subjects. The class was studying letter-writing and, for once, even Jack had answered pre- pared that morning. But such preparedness! Just before going to school that morning he had happened to think about his English which, as usual, was not prepared. In despair he hurried back upstairs in a vain attempt to find a letter, for the assignment had been to write a friendly letter. Just as he was going downstairs, he happened to glance into his nineteen-year-old sister's room. On the desk was a letter. Quickly and quietly he tiptoed in and took that letter. But in English class-oh, how he wished he had never seen that let- ter! Miss Brown, that was his teacher's name, had taken the roll and asked the first girl to read her letter. Jack breathed a sigh of relief. But as soon as the girl had finished she said, Jack, have you your letter? Yes'm, answered Jack, as he began hunting around in his book. I suppose you are going to discover that you left it home, said Miss Brown, No'm, said Jack. Here it is. He took the folded paper from the envelope and began to read: Dear Mabel: It seems an age since I last saw you. You can't imagine how I have missed the wonderful hours with you. Every time I look at the blue sky I think of those great blue eyes of yours. Here Jack stopped, for he realized it was a love letter, but Miss Brown made him go on, saying she wanted to hear some more of the work he had for once prepared. We should never have gone so far without our parents' consent, read Jack, but since we did, I cannot stay away from you any longer and I am coming back immediately. Here Jack ended abruptly with Yours sincerely. That night he stayed in after school till tenth hour was nearly over, and before he left, he made up his mind never to be unprepared in English again. for worse than the time he had to stay after school was the laughing and teasing of the other members of his class.

My home is a fountain pen that belongs to a lovely teacher. I just know she hates me and the fountain pen will pay no at- tention to me. Only once did she deign to speak and that was to say she was ashamed of such a tenant and that I was disgracing her in the eyes of the public. The old pen needn't be so haughty, for it is not beautiful, but dark and gloomy, while I have a lovely rosy com- plexion. Not many admire it. I suppose they are jealous. I know I am very lazy, for I just love to make a 1. It is simple, but 4's or 5's are really too strenuous. The teacher and pen are very kind- hearted and just hate to blight a budding author or poet and so they let me do it. My hardest work comes every three weeks when the teacher hands in pink cards. One really needs a sense of humor in my business. Some of the things the children write are so ridiculous and yet they expect a 1. Envy is the worst thing in the world. The boys do not try to spoil my beautiful complexion. But the girls are so jealous. They even use salt water, which makes me turn pale, Landladies are certainly independent nowadays. The fountain pen told me I was to vacate by June 4. I must get busyg they say houses are terribly scarce in Des Moines. The teacher must be sorry for her actions, for just now she said she would take me with her on her vacation trip. Ha! Ha! The fountain pen looks so gloomy. The world needs my advice and so I will accept her invitation. Now I won't have to pay the outrageous prices these pronteering landlords ask. Charlotte Dickson, El.

Each of the schools had eight teams and eight men on every team. All eight men had to play in each game or the game was forfeited. North 'took second place in the series and East won third. The sportsmanship cup went to North High. The cup was won this year by gradings of the referee at the end of each game. At the end of the series, Miss McKee then added the points and announced North High first, with 127 pointsg East second, with 126 points, and West third, with 125 points. This was very close, considering the number of games played. This makes one year each for North and West to have the cup. West High should work hard in the future to win it three years. The school winning it three years will get permanent posses- sion of thc cup. The games furnished hot competition, and it was not until the finish of the last day of play that the city champions were decided. The sixty-four West High men fought hard in every game and showed the true West High spirit. Team A won the championship of the school, and team F was runner-up. Team F was the only team at West High not to lose a game during the city series. Much credit should be given coaches Harris and Freberg for their hard work, and the student body should be congratulated for their support.

West High was entered in three meets, the City Meet, the Ames Meet, and the Iowa City Meet. In the city meet they lost to East High by a three-point margin, due mainly to the fact that the contest was run on the basis of class competition. In the out of town meets West carried off the honors with little trouble. At Ames, the first Iowa high school swimming meet, the Maize and Blue men met with little trouble and managed to take 41 points. Their closest competitor was East High Des Moines with 11 points. Ungles and Taylor of West tied for individual honors with 8 points each. Captain Norwood of their team was next with 7 points. This was some beginning! Ted Cutler also served. The team then went to Iowa City where they repeated their victory. They copped 56 points, and their nearest rival was Iowa City High with 11 points. Ungles was high point man here, taking 17 points.

A large number of men Worked out daily on the cinder patch and good spirit was shown throughout the season. The Drake relays came before West's men were in true form but they took three places in five events. Then came the city meet and placing in twelve out of fourteen events, West pushed East High to the limit to win. After this performance a number of men journeyed to Iowa City. Only seven men went. The rest of the team, including practically all the point winners, were left at home on account of breaking training rules. However, these few men made a good showing. The first annual city freshmen meet came next. This being the first meet of its kind, it created a great deal of interest. Good time was niade and the younger fellows showed good material for future years. W'est won with 495 points, and Washington-Irving Junior High was second with 24 points. The regular team went to Ames where they took second place, get- ting two first, a tie for a first, six seconds, and two thirds. The squad this season consisted of Captain Orebaugh, Chesley, Law- son, C. Coon, Stotts, E. Brown, R. Brown, Marsh, Strief, Dalbey, Romano, McCoy, Crail, Jefferson, Wilson, Schee, Killebrew, Irwin, Vv'ood, and J. W. Clark. Captain Orebaugh was the star of the season, taking individual hon- ors in the Ames and city meets. Much credit should be given to the men who came out but failed to make the team. They were benefiting themselves both mentally and physically for future seasons. Coaches Harris and Freberg also deserve much credit for their Work during the season with the one interest of West High in their minds CContinued on page 84.3 0OMl l'Q0O0M1Ml0'l'vI0Ov40l04vvO0lwl0ClvIvI0Qv0O10MlMO' llvivlvfvlflif-Owl'-l'0O'vl0C0O1'l0I' Page Seventy-nine 1921 JUNE GOMMENCEMENT NUMBER--THE TATLER 1921 .Q..g..5..Q..5-.g..Q..Q..Q..Q..5..q-.g..g..g..g..g..g.-g..g..g..Qup4.4.4.Q..g..g..g.-g..g..g..guy...4.4.4..g..g..g..g..g..g..g....Q Page Eighty 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER--THE TATLER 1921 .q..g..g.-0-4-.g..g.................g g g .........g.....q..q..g..g...

Page Eighty-three 1921 JUNE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Good Posture and Health Did you ever take notice of people as they pass you on the street and note the difference in their carriage? Some are erect, brisk, splendid-looking, but a great number are stoop-shouldered, narrow- chested, and sluggish. Poor posture is caused by bad habits in sitting and standing. A student will slide forward in a seat and literally sit on the edge of his spine or double over a desk until his back forms the letter S. This causes the shoulders to droop forward, the chest to flatten, and the ab- domen is forced downward, and consequently the circulation of the blood, the free play of the lungs, and the digestion are interfered with. There are many people who, when standing, rest on one leg and throw a strain on the hip and spine. Some have a bad habit of con- stantly carrying loads with one arm, a position which helps to de- velop one side of the body more than the other so that Iinally the pull of the muscles on one side is greater and this crooks the spine sideways and brings the shoulder down on one side. An erect bearing can be acquired by practice, and the only way to have good posture is always to maintain it. Stand and sit erect, raise the head and chest. Do all your work in these postures and then you will find that the muscles will become strong and hold you there. Persons who stand and walk erect are attractive and nine times out of ten an employer will choose the upstanding, shoulder-square indi- vidual and reject the individual of poor posture. Good posture is an asset and it not only pays to be straight but it also pays to walk straight. O, L. Freberg. Track fContinued from page 79.1 The school turned out and supported the team in all meets, many going to Iowa City and Ames. The team held up West High's record this year! When next year comes they should do the same. Boost and Work! The past is remem- bered happily now. West should look to the future! Swimming fContinued from page 78.3 This is a fine record for the Iirst year and it should be kept up in the future since most of the swimmers are underclassmen. Ungles and Taylor are freshmen and Captain Norwood is a sophomore. Coaches Russell and Freberg should not be forgotten because their hard work made possible the winnings for West High.

This has been a very busy year and we fully realize how much such assistance has meant. It is impossible to offer an adequate estimate of Value of the service rendered to us by the various departments, for each, in its own field, has cooperated to the fullest degree and has been invaluable in the publishing of the Tatler. So, we take this opportunity for offering our hearty thanks to: the English department, for its assistance in contrib- uting literary matcrialg the Art department, for its help in the art workg the Commercial department, for its work in preparing the mate- rial for the printerg the Ofiice, for its general cooperation and willing- ness to helpg and, last but not least, the individual contributors to the Tatler. Miss Ida T. Jacobs The Tatler staff plus Miss Jacobs, equals a good Tatler. What does the Tatler staff minus Miss Jacobs equal? It is a con- glomeration of misspelled words and libelous write-ups. Some staffs consider their adviser as a person apart from their organ- ization-a grim ogre waiting to pounce upon the ideas of the staff members. In VVest High we take quite a different stand. We, adviser and staff, all are working for the best interests of the Tatler. Miss Jacobs is not merely an adviserg she is our adviser, our helper, and our friend. -The Staff. By the Editor After working on the Tatler since I was a freshman it is with a feeling of regret that I say farewellg regret for the many good times I have had in the journalism classg regret for leaving that wonder- ful co-worker and pal, Miss Jacobs, and regret for leaving the Tatler. I will always remember the Tatler and its associates. It has meant more to me than any other school activity and I treasure it accordingly. For twenty-eight years the Tatler has carried on, and may it car.y on for twice twenty-eight more! And in closing, may I venture to hope that the future issues of the Tatler be even more successful than the past issues have been.

' VVe cautiously turned the door and opened the knob and entered Mr. Reis- ing's cell. We inquired of the justly famous ju- dicious custodian if he would answer to our entire satisfaction this inquiry we were inquiring about. He gravely nodded his grave head and informed us, 'tthat he would, as he so enchantingly phrased his reply. We were about to propound our mo- mentous question-but he had to attend to his duties just then, and as a great man's time is his own we left, resolved to ask another. VVe espied the rabid Junior Schee rap- idly traversing down the halls, talking to a fair companion of the same seX. 'iJunior, we asked questioningly of him, can you tell us-representatives of the great student body of West High Kean you tell us, canyu? we asked. I would if I could but l can't and so l won't! was his sage reply in answer to our query. But we resolved not to give up, for a great man's time izzee's own, etc., etc. 24 Pls P14 Tripping and fantastically she came up the halls with light and graceful movements. It was no other than Marry Capfield. But alas! We had no time to propose our query because she gave us a deft look with her merry blue eyes and passed on enchantingly. We were about to lay down our quest and dance gayly after her, but we bumped into Ornia Smith. As Orma was so much smaller than we were fwe are quite tall and liandsomeb and we don't believe in hitting people smaller than we are, we let Orma dance after her and we went after the elusive inter- view.

It sure is the nicest school-big room with stairs and benches, where we are sup- posed to study, Jim, but I haven't been to that class yet, a sort of resterant where we eat atg and another big room called the awditorium where we sit to hear men talk. But, say, it sure is crowded here. A senior fellow called Sam says the reason he has to borrow my fountain pen and theme paper is that the school has so many kids the supply, room can't keep stocked up with fountain pens and paper., There's one fellow here who writes a book called The Tatler and he wanted to take my picture for a feeture page with big glasses on cause he said I sure was just the type to wear them. I don't think I'1I wear that red bow tie any more. The younger boys here don't seem to wear them to schoolg maybe saving them for Sundays, although this Tatler guy wears a red one. Talk about dangers! Say, the other day I went by the chemistry room just in time to see the terriblest explosion. I didn't wait until the smoke cleared away but I suppose Owen Stevens caused it. Marian Zook says I'm liable to be called to the office any day so I never chew the gum you send me any more. Have to quit now, Tom, and go to my home-room teacher. She wants to give me a yellow card. I donyt know what for yet. Yours expectantly, Johnnie. v I, ja ' X '95-n .ff f-25? I' .qw 'im gs iq if V. wr' A .1 I Q 1' T nga -Q .ra if :X P 5 f gm? . C H' -f .-. r iig ffx 4' tt cct -f .

Phone Walnut 4216 Noah Tall Editor Solves Your Problems Dear Noah: 4 Q 'fi I have a very serious problem that must be answered immediately. If a tame kangaroo can climb a greased telephone post in fifteen min- utes, how long will it take a thirty-year-old man to swim across a river in fifteen minutes? ? Yours hopefully, Katherine Smith. Answer: Katherine, we are surprised at your lack of knowledge. The answer is pure and simple and can be found in chapter two of Sandbanks' latest novel. As long as it takes an elephant on roller skates to swim across a mountain on overshoes. Dear Mr. Tall: What shall I say if I am ever held up? A Freshman. Answer: Stir his emotions by reciting some piece of poetry. For in- stance: 'Shoot if you must this old grey head,' but send me flowers when I am dead. Dear Editor: Can you think of any way that I can see both assemblies and get away with it? I want to be outside the law. Yours mysteriously, Melvin Martin. Answer: Merely go to both assemblies and if your home room teacher becomes inquisitive tell her that you were in the band. If she asks you what band, your doom is sealed, however.
