The Qvmazunian lghalemx The Amazons were an aneient raee of women warriors, conquered tit memory serves eorreetlyl hy the Duke of XYellington at Ther- niopylae. Their great eontrihution to eivilization is the Amazonian phalanx. The modern applieation ot' this dreaded and invineihle forma- tion consists of two or more maidens, locked arm in arm, in tirm array, who patrol the halls during recess or between elasses. lt is seen to the best advantage, promenading the erowded halls at recess, or hloekading the stairway with slow and stately tread. As it sweeps down the hall, Bur juurnvg Zfrum VVe are now going forth into a new lite. The great happiness of ehildhood lies behind us and no matter how mueh time is given us in this world, we will never tind our way haek. ln the Book ot Lite, we are turning our seeond page. Oh, that every page might he as the tirst one, pure and elean. May the seed, so earefully sown on those assemhly days, our greatest pleasure, bring forth an ample harvest. YVe here take the opportunity like a great tidal wave. a litter of pens. peneils, papers, text-hooks, and sandwiches point out its path. When a tormidahle ohstaele appears sueh as a drinking fountain, or a teaeher, the threatened wing makes a switt detour, and deftly reunites with the main hody. ltesistanee is useless, for a sweet smile from one ol' the tair warriors never tails to quell the most irate youth. Sareastie words and haletul glares have thus far failed to have etfeet. Oh, that a Ca-sar or a Napoleon might arise, and invent a sueeesstul defense! Our Serene Quinn to thank hoth him who so diligently planted the seed, and those who helped the seed in its growth. But this is past. Oh, you who are going torth into this strange new life, which nevertheless, offers you many joys, may Memory hover over you and may you ever think ot this, your seeond home, with feelings of regretful joy and loyalty. 2-Xtlgletirs hvllill is the dream ot' lflast High? NYhat does it need the most? Or you might make a eonundrum out ot' it and say: What is it that North, South, and Central have, that iWest has somewhat, that lflast hasn't at all?i' I will tell you, it is a gymnasium. llow can lflast expeet to lead pp 5 itast Rev -1 AST never quits. That is our slogan. our hattle ery, and a good one it is. ln l'aet. l have seldom heard a hetter. Never to quit. that implies a sturdy eourage, a vast enduranee, perseverance, and will power, Never to give up, that means to fight without stopping until the vietory is yours. That is the spirit that wins. XVQ have heard this many times on the toothall tield ol' hattle has turned against us. The whole East staml aeeord and the spirit of light within us all, eomes to the with our team, out there tighting on the tield.

XVe tight on, and the one who doesn't know when hels down, the one who won't stay down, the one who 'tnever quits is the vietor every time. l10
