1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 Snow I watched the snow come down one day, So soft and pure and White, In piles the tiny crystals lay So glittering and bright. 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.

1921 COMMENCEMENT NUMBER-THE TATLER 1921 The Senior gavel. Only thirty pieces out and the handle cracked. An invaluable heirloom for future graduating classes. President Mc- Gregor will be glad to show it to any prospective buyer. A favorite pompadour comb. Any Freshman desiring to cultivate the latest style in hair-dressing should take advantage of this offer. Mr. Lyman Grayson, owner, will be present in person to display it. A wagon-load of broken tennis rackets and balls owned by Miss Katherine Barnes. Any would-be champions take heed! Miss Barnes will give a private demonstration in the art of using them. 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. The proprietress, Miss Helen Ruby, estimates the loss at no less than S933,265.14. Miss Ruby has thus far managed most successfully the city's largest and most exclusive cafeteria. She received her training at the famous cafeteria of West High nearly twenty years ago. ................,..............,..,..............,..,.........................,,..........................,...........,........,........,..,..,.. 1 9
