We have tried to make The Tatler of this year better than the preceding one, and feel that we have succeeded in some respectsg but we also appreciate the fact that we could have done practically nothing had it not been for the aid and encouragement furnished us by the school. Concerning this-our greatest endeavorflittle more need be said than that this Annual represents the result of the careful and conscientious work of the whole year, and as such we commit it to the public. two ' THE STAFF. .

And when we too shall all be gone, both teachers and pupils, there will be other teachers and other pupils as grave and as gay as we, and it will still be the same dear old high school. It is our high school, but ours in trust only-a precious legacy from those before us, a legacy that we are to enjoy and in turn transmit unstained to those who will come after us. If we honor it, it will honor us. In the name of all the devoted teachers who have taught and are yet to teach within its walls, in the name of all the true hearted boys and girls who have gone out and are yet to go out through its portals into the greater school, I ask for old West High the choicest blessings in the gift of the gods. Here 's to the years that are gone, And here 's to the years to come. SUPERINTENDENT RIDDELL. S C V C I1 I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. L I 9 0 5 ANNUAL YV,D.hL eight- W. A. CRUSIN BERRY Principal WEST HIGH CHARACTERIZATION of West High School on one page will be little more than to name the elements that enter into its make-up. Our School. To old residents whose children have passed through the school, to new comers into our rapidly growing city, to graduates, and to the children in twenty grade buildings, looking to the high school as the goal of their educational ambition -it is Our High School. To the present students and teachers and patrons it is in a higher degree and with a more intense meaning than to any others, Our High School. We are responsible for its character, its tone, for everything that fits it to go forward into the years of its future destiny. We accept the responsibility and rejoice in our opportunity. Growth and Enrollment. From small beginnings in an upper room in Lincoln building it has grown to its present proportions in its present spacious and inviting quarters. During the current year 859 students have enrolled, l25 more tham enrolled the preceding year. At this rate of increase IO00 students will enroll in the year l905-6. The respective classes this year have approximately the following numbers: First year class, 3003 second year, 250, third year, I50g fourth year, 90. These decreasing numbers tell a sad story+a hundred or more students have been lost by the way as the class has passed from the first to the fourth year in the high school. Material Equipment. Our building-splendid in its appointments as a building-is our pride and joy. As to library and apparatus needed, we are hopeful that the opening in Sep- tember next will find us in possession of some much needed and long looked-for books for the library, and maps, charts, lantern slides and screens for the betterment of our class-room and laboratory facilities. Courses of Study. These give a wide range of choice, and with alternatives and electives offered, enable almost every student to find what he wants within a regular course leading to graduation from the high school. The Teaching Force. The strength of the school is in its teachers. This strength is much augmented by the boarcl's policy of continuing in the service those teachers who have proved their efficiency. We have terms of service such as the following: twelve years, thirteen years, fourteen years, seventeen years. The Student Body. We are justly proud of our students, and of the progress which many of them make. The development of those qualities which make for manhood and wom- anhood is rapid and marked and usually gratifying. Coming from the eighth grade with boy- ish and girlish characteristics dominant, they leave the twelfth grade young men and young women The Organization. Students in our musical, literary, and athletic organizations have not disappointed us. They have been loyal and helpful, and have reflected credit upon the school when representing it away from home. The Rank of the School. High rank is maintained with effort. Constant pressure is brought to bear to lower the standard and allow pupils to pass who are not willing or able to meet the scholarship requirements. But the rank must be maintained, for this is what makes a nine Q I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. diploma from West High valuable. Ask the graduate now in college or business, and he will tell you the value of our rigorous class-room work. The Cost. This is no small item. When we realize that the cost of running the high school is to be counted by hundreds of dollars a clay, and that the money is cheerfully supplied by the patrons of the school and the people of the districtfmalcing the school free to all boys and girls who will enter its open doors-the preciousness of our inheritance is enhanced.

The author would be glad to receive material and suggestions from former students and others preparatory to the preparation of a more correct account of the school at a later date. 5 OTHING could be more modest or unassuming than were the beginnings of West Des Moines High School. On the second floor of a little brick school house situated at Sixth and School Streets, on a portion of what are now the grounds of Crocker School, a few pupils, with one lone teacher, assembled some time in September, IS64, to in- augurate the work of the new high school. The first formal step toward the establishment of this school had been taken May 30, l864. On that date Rev. Simon Barrows, county superintendent of schools, appeared before the board of directors of what was then officially known as the School District, City of Des Moines, West Side, and urged the necessity and propriety of opening a high school. Thereupon the board appointed Messrs. l-l. McClelland, W. H. l..eas, and M. S. Dicker- son a committee 'lto examine into and report upon the propriety and feasibility of establishing a high school next fall. Acting upon this report the board decided on July l to establish a high school in the fall, elected Mr. Barrows principal, and requested him to furnish a schedule of studies. Some time in September an examination of candidates for admission was held by the board, assisted by Mr. James S. Ross, 50 per cent being the passing grade. At this exam- ination Miss Louisa Napier won the honors with a grade of 94 per cent, a fact which secured for her shortly after a situation as teacher in the schools of the town. A committee appointed by the board October ll, to classify the schools and draft a course of study with special reference to requirements for graduation, reported about two weelcs after that the course was not yet ready owing to the recent excitement on accountgafw rebel raiders in the state. But the members of the committee must soon have laid down their arms and returned to the pursuits of peace, for a somewhat extended report was made by them and adopted November 9, l864. The following was accordingly the first course of study of the West Des Moines High School: fifteen Penmanship, Declamation, Composition, Singing. Grade C. -Spelling, Reading, Dehnitions, Arithmetic, Grammar, Algebra, Penmanship, Dec W lamation, Composition, Singing. Grade B.+Algebra, Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Latin, Composition. Grade A.-Trigonometry, Astronomy, Latin, Surveying, Botany, Composition, Rhetoric. It is an historic fact that four students escaped nervous prostration and were graduated from that course at the end of four years, having supposedly toiled through the entire list from spell ing to surveying. During its first year the high school had to give up its commodious quarters on the second floor and move into the primary room, which department was crowded and needed more space. At the close of the year Mr. Barrows appears to have severed his connection with the school. Although the only record regarding the election of the second principal names D Hornby as the successful candidate, the salary for the position, during the latter part of the year at least, was drawn by Mr. F. W. Corliss, who remained as principal until the fall of l868, when he was succeeded by Mr. W. A. Willis, who served until l870. Upon the completion of the Second Ward building, now Lincoln School, in 1868 the high school was moved to the third Hoot of that building, occupying one large room and two small recitation rooms. There were at this time three teachers for the school, but the number of pupils is not recorded. Professor Snow, Miss Mann, and Superintendent H. Thompson are named as principals between I870 and IS73, each serving one year. Ar this time began the hve years of ser vice of Mr. A. N. Ozias, who did much to organize and strengthen the work of the school and to give it standing locally and abroad. During his term the enrollment ran from IOO to 150, and three teachers were employed. Another of the long occupancies of the principalship begins in l878, when Princ1palL B. Cary assumed the position. Mr. Cary was very popular with pupils and patrons and the high school was a prominent factor in the town life. For a number of years two literary societies existed in the school which held meetings alternate Friday evenings in the high school room, and these evening entertainments were very highly considered by the young people in the school and out. Some of the literary and musical numbers appearing on these programs were of considerable merit. Each society ran one of the old-fashioned school papers, which were read instead of being printed, and these occupied fully as important a place in the school life as The Tafler does today. Allied to the literary society work were the declamatory or so-called oratorical contests the first of which, in I875 or I87 6, was won by Will, now judge, McHenry. Later the school entered the state declamatory contests, which are still being carried on by the smaller schools of the state. These contests toolc the place to some extent of the athletic contests and interscholastic debates of the present day, which were then unknown. The gold medal for first place at these contests was won for West Des Moines in 1882 by lda Clemens, in I884 and ISS5 by Edith Payne, in l886 by Rose St. John, and in I887 by Florence Musson sixteen Grade D.- Spelling, Reading, Definitions, Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar, U. S. History The fourth teacher was added to the high school corps in l882, when W. W. Ainsworth came as the first teacher of book-keeping the school had known. Physical culture was first introduced in ISS5, when Miss Kunkle began her work, raising the number in the corps to five. But all this time the enrollment continued about the same and no efforts seemed to avail to raise it above I50. During the principalship of Mr. R. D. jones, who succeeded Mr. Cary in 1883, the first regular high school paper, the High School Herald, was published, Alice Clark being editor- in-chief and Falk Younker, business manager. The first of a long series of debating societies was organized in l885. Perhaps a forerunner of the athletic trips of a latter day may have been the trip made during this administration by a class of boys and girls to the town of Panora, of athletic fame, where they entertained the admiring citizens by such mild forms of athletics as wand drills and fancy marching exhibitions in an overheated diminutive hall called an nopera housed Mr. Jones was succeeded in ISS6 by Mrs. L. T. Morrow, during whose term the board of directors began a more liberal policy toward the school, which resulted in the beginning of what has been constant growth ever since. The beginnings of a commercial course were made in ISS6, another teacher was employed, science was made more of a feature and laboratory methods were introduced, and on the nineteenth day of April, l889, the school dedicated its new building, a part of the present school plant. At this time one of the speakers remarked that Des Moines now had a high school building that would serve and be sufficient for the needs of all future time. But new accommodations and new advantages attracted pupils and the growth of the school has been very rapid. At this time there were 210 pupils, in l892 the 300 mark was passed, and in IS96 the enrollment was 476. ln l889 Mrs. Monow was succeeded by Miss Celia Ford, who was principal for two years. Mr. H. T. Kincaid served as principal from l89l to I893, followed by Mr. William Wilcox from 1893 to l896. Manual training and domestic science departments were opened in September, 1890, and much advancement was made in all lines of work during this time. Perhaps the first appearance of athletic activity of definite form was in the organization of a football team in l89Z, and since that time this has been a factor of high school life of ever increasing importance. The golden age of the high school came not at the beginning but in its most recent history. The administration of Principal W. O. Riddell, beginning in IS96 and closing but a few months ago, was an era marked by great advancement in equipment, by development of the courses of study, by increased influence and reputation of the school, and by the growth of a school spirit and loyalty which means much more than is generally understood. But extended treatment of this period is perhaps unnecessary at this time. The most notable event was the addition of the new building, which was occupied for the first time in October, 1903. Mr. W. A. Crusinberry, who entered upon the duties of the principalship in January, l905, had already been connected with the school for so long a time and had so favorably impressed teachers and pupils that his coming from North High was but the return of an old friend rather than the beginning of a new rule.

THE FIRST YEAR CLASS 5' 'x X N THE tenth day of June, l904, crowds of us, smiling boys and girls, could be seen S N . . . . . Rnd? Hocking toward the new high school building. Many were the astonished faces as we gazed at the beautiful surroundings which were soon to become our home. Assembled in the large auditorium with our superintendent, Mr. Sheakley, and our future prin- cipal, Mr. Riddell, we were soon made to feel at home after their cordial greeting. Before dispersing we were given certificates, signifying that we had rightfully gained the title of high school students, which we were to assume on September 6, l904. On that day we returned, eager to begin the new year's work. One could easily distinguish the first year students from those of the higher classes, because the former looked so fresh and green among those almost withered flowers. Of the 800 enrolled in the high school, 300 are first year pupils. Obviously, we far exceed all other classes in numbers, in the course of our career we shall doubtless also excel all in knowledge and ability. In all the high school organ- izations we hold an important place. Besides forming over half of the first and second year music class, we are well represented in the orchestra and the girls' glee club. The rooting at the football games would be quite tame if it were not for the many vigorous voices of the first year pupils, who come en masse and shout themselves hoarse in support of old West High and the team. And what of the gymnasium classes? They would be con- siderably smaller without us. True, the fourth year students would probably be very willing to spare our young athletes, for if our girls of the basketball team were out of the way there might be some chance for the upper classes to win a game. Then here 's to the class of '08 ! May we succeed in all our undertakings so that at the end of the four years we may grad- uate still claiming the title of the banner class! t Q' Freshrfiehfwe are, and we're proud of it, too, Ready to abide by what we should do, Ever obedient to teachers and rules, Safely we say we 're the pride of the schools. n Harmonyn our motto, Discord' not knowng Merits we claim which we rightfully own. Every good trait l can 't here relate: V Now then, Three cheers for the class of '08 ! IRMA B. SHLoss, '08. t w en ty -fo u r S SSN YEAR I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W, D. M.

M. ight 'U Q1 :1 4 Conlin E SECOND YEAR CLASS TH I 9 0 5 THE SECOND YEAR CLASS ANNUAL E., ON the authority of the teachers of West High School, consider the second year W' D' M' S class the most polite, studious, and in short the most reliable class we have. We shall show wherein the other classes fall short of the model set by our class. The first year students have not yet grown accustomed to the strenuous high school life, and conse- quently very little responsibility is given them. Third year students are beginning to wish they were Seniors and to seek for the same rights and privileges granted to the Seniors. As a result, they are not to be depended upon. The Seniors-oh! the Seniors-they are not mortals and so can not be classed in with the rest of the school's pupils. So it is left for us to fulfill everyone's expectations of model pupils, and we answer nobly to the call. Everyone' knows that there are many members of this brilliant class in every line of workin the high school. Wherever we go we always find them right in the front ranks, bravely striving to climb higher and higher up the mount of knowledge. This admirable class consists of about 235 members, everyone of whom is interested in all the others. In music, art, and debating, as well as in the regular line of school work, our class has at- tained a high degree of excellence. Many of its members with marked musical abilities are found in the orchestra or glee clubs. Much of the designing for The Tatler is done by the young artists in this class. ln debating the class has a high record. The mere fact that it was represented in the preliminary debate is worthy of note, but that it was represented in the six from whom the final team was to be chosen is indeed an honor. Not only in intellectual ability but also in physical prowess, does our class gain distinction. l Sumner Macomber, john Newman and Carl Harris, three of our bovs worthy of mention, were on the football team of last fall, winning great glory and making their class very proud of them by their wonderful feats. The class is well represented by its thirteen candidates for the l spring athletics. Even if they do not all gain places in some event, still they are a credit to their class. 1 The members of the class have already gained much renown and we feel sure that we shall always succeed in the things we undertake. F or its good spirit and its obedience to the laws of the school the class will always be re- membered and used as a model for later classes. ln the near future if you hear of some great achievement of the members of this class, you need not be surprised, for our prophecy will but l be fulfilled.

THE THIRD YEAR CLASS HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1906 ANY months ago-to be exact, it was the year one thousand nine hundred and two, ninth month and fifth dayfif you had chanced to stand on the comer of Fifteenth and Center, you would have seen a sight long to be remembered. Crowds of good looking young men and women were coming from the various paths and byways to what has been and always will be the Center of Learning. Now if you had, out of curiosity or thirst for knowledge, asked those who seemed more promising or brilliant than the rest to which class they belonged, they would have replied im- mediately that they were entering the class of '06. It is now my purpose to relate the history of that far-famed class. QO thou noble class of '06, thou star of all classes, how canl do thee justiceD We have just seen them entering this vast hall of knowledge as freshmen Most freshmen classes are considered green and rather looked down on by those who are so unfortunate as to be created a year or so earlier. Not so with this class. Teachers and pupils alike felt that the grade schools of West Des Molnesv 'ln framing this new class, so grand and true, F or it their long used molds aside they threw, And, choosing those in wit and brain well mixed, Had fashioned this, the noted class of l906. From the first they received the laurels of the school. What victory could be more com- plete than that which they gained in their freshman year over the three upper classes in de- bating? During their sophomore year their representative in the East-West High debate was with- out doubt the best debater on the platform. During their junior year two of this illustrious class had important roles in that glorious victory over Omaha. As a crowning victory to this year's achievements two of her goodly number took first and second prizes in the contest given by the Political Equality Club for the best essay on Why Women Should Vote. But not in brains alone is this class superior. Does it not hold its own in the Orchestra and Glee Club ? What would athletics be without her sturdy youths? The junior class has been by no means behind others in social life and functions. Even the seniors agree that the junior class went beyond all expectations and eclipsed past records in that brilliant gatheimg, the junior Prom. This was held at the E.lk's hall and certainly the juniors have a right to be proud of the way it was conducted, and also of the farce given dur- ing the evening. Of course a large part of this glory should be laid at Miss Allabach's feet, but what achievements of theirs do not either directly or indirectly owe their success to her? Now as the year is drawing to a close and they are looking forward to the coming year as one in which they will merit the reward of being called Seniors, the hope of the class is that they shall deserve as never before that which one teacher was heard to say of them: These are the noblest scholars of them all, They are the ones on which we build our hopes. Their lives are gentle and the elements So mixed in them, that we can now stand up And say to all the world, 'This is a class.' WINIFRED WRAGG. thirty-three I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W.

M- ., , THE ART CLUB HE Art Club was organized on the twenty-fourth of November, l904, in Miss Kef'fer's room. The officers elected were Florence Keffer, president, Florence Sprague, vice-president 3 Gretchen Garst, secretary g and Zenetta Harrison, treasurer. No constitution was drawn up, as the club did not at the time feel the necessity of having one. However, the twenty-five enrolled members decided that all second-year drawing pupils should be eligible to membership, that the meetings should be held monthly and in the Art room, which, by the way, is adorned with all manner of water-colors, charcoal drawings, and pencil sketches, bizarre and grotesque, as well as attractive and picturesque. The aim of the Club is to study the art of different countries by discussing the life, work, and influence of the noted artists of the respective countries in turn. Several of the members are especially prepared, and the others, afterwards, speak extemporaneously. They have studied the art of Germany, Holland, and ltaly in particular,and that of less important countries less thoroughly. The proposed design for the permanent pin of the Club is simply the letters A and C intertwined in a small artistic monogram. They have only had one social function, but that was a decided success. Miss Keffer and her sister, in the guise of colonial dames, received the young ladies at their home, decorated for the occasion with appropriate adornments. The entertainment provided was pleasing and everything was in harmony and tending to the sensuous enjoyment of the guests. Besides, the Club has planned a picnic for the last of lVlay. They intend to find one of the most beautiful spots in Des Moines' rural districts and there, with pencil and paper, sketch the fleeting phan- tasmagoric clouds, the rippling brook with leafy trees, or rolling meadows as a background, or the face of one of their comrades with the gossamer-like locks disheveled by the gentle breezes. Next year, with an earlier start, the Club expects to accomplish more. ., 4 .V gi-sfiriir 1 , f , Ty' .. f '. fr- fist is - 'L -W'i:f-f f ' K, y ,,,,. r K Wf-, ,,,., 1, ,Q-, s W. .5g, ,r . , f , -r ,r ,.,, .

The members of teams representing West Des Moines High School in interscholastic debates are eligible to membership without election. Members of class teams may be elected to membership by a three-fourths vote of all the members of the club, and any other student of the High school who shall have shown exceptional ability in debate. Every alumnus of West High School who, at his graduation, shall have been a member of this club, can become an honorary member, and any other person not an undergraduate student may be elected an honorary member. The officers of the club are a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer, and an executive committee consisting of an instructor in the high school, the president, and one other member elected by the club, elected each semester. ' The executive committee arranges programs for all meetings, and debates with other clubs when they think it wise to do so. The club held regular meetings every week during the school year until preparations for the debate with Omaha made it impossible. Socialism, govemment ownership, and similar questions were discussed. The officers the first semester were Ralph Finnicum, president, Walter Stewart, vice-pres- identg Carl Byoir, Secretaryg Almer Sanborn, treasurer, and Mr. Merrill, Bura Cruinand and the president, the executive committee. For the second semester, Carl Byoir, president, Earl Phillips, vice-presidentg Clarke Tinsley, secretaryg Willard Halverson, Treasurerg and Mr. Merrill, Almar Sanborn and the president, the executive committee. Great benefit was derived by the members in practice in debate and parliamentary usage and the study of important questions, and still greater benefit will be derived in the future, when the club has grown in membership and in years of experience. s i x t y - s e v e n I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 WEST HIGH WINS FROM OMAHA HIGH W D M N 'Q' YEST DES MOINES HIGH SCHOOL debaters won over the Omaha team in a contest in which honors were almost evenly divided. Professor Ed Sanford, one of the judges of the contest, in announcing the result, gave it as the opinion of the board of which he was a member, that the treatment of the subject by all of the young men was extremely good and the grounds of argument well chosen. The question in debate was, Resolved, that, for the present, labor unions in America are justified in opposing the movement of the employers for an open shop. Carl Byoir, who presented the opening as well as the closing arguments for the Des Moines team, received an ovation on his appearance and as he closed. His manner was free and his style of handling his topic forceful and convincing. He was well seconded by Almer Sanborn and Ralph Finnicum, both of whom were well up in the logc of the labor organization, its uses and abuses, as well as the absolute rights of the employer. The Omaha debaters, Charles Brome, Carl Van Sant and Ware Hall, were all capable, and centers of extreme interest while they occupied the rostrum. Their definitions of the union shop, closed and open shop, were such as to excite the admiration of more learned per- sons in the study of sociological problems. The West Des Moines debaters held for the rights of the employers, believing in the established principle of liberty of action. ln support of their contention they cited from the speeches and writings of the foremost of labor leaders, among them John Mitchell. A On the other hand, the Omaha speakers declared that the organization, being a mutual affair, exists for the uplifting of a condition, and, while operating as a body, does not act against the non-union man as a tyrant against a martyr, but as a righteous movement against a selfish person, who withstands the appeal of the majority because of a principle which gains him noth- ing, yet loses him the very thing for which he strives, and can only hope to strive-his daily bread. Notwithstanding the wide chasm between the teams in point of argument, they came dan- gerously near to each other at times, but cautiously withdrew from a technical agreement. The program was commenced with extremely pleasing musical selections by West High organizations. A quartette composed of young high school ladies was especially worthy of mention. President Hill M. Bell, of Drake University, presided. X - Regisler and Leader. s i x t y - e i g h t GIRLS' LITERARY SOCIETY I905 ANNUAL E MEETING of the Girls' Literary Society was held May 22, l905.

The officers are Emma Spencenpresidentg Almer Sanborn, vice-presidentg Vesta Peak, secretary, and Givin Chase, treasurer. Their term of office is to last during good behavior' or until the end of this school year. The num- ber of members is limited to thirty and the degree of scholarship necessary is decided accord- ing to the number of wise pupils. The club meets every two weeks, altemately at the school and at the home of one of the members. At the school meeting a program is provided in which several give talks or read papers and then the others join in an impromptu discussion of the subject. They have talked of the value of the study of Latin, Roman names, and sub- jects pertaining to the manners, customs, and amusements of the Latins. When they meet at some residence the hostess provides the entertainment for the afternoon. It varies from Latin spell-downs to writing valentine verses in that dead language and is both interesting and in- teresting and instructive. The pin of the club, not only for this year but for coming years, is a disk with the head of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, on the face and on the back the motto of the club and the date of the pupil's graduation. It is to be the custom for the club to have a public debate with one of the other clubs and to give a classic play. But because of the lateness of organization and other difficulties neither was done this year. SCVCIIIY-ORC I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M.

I ,I.-pxI.,.' Y A LITTLE MIX AT THE DRAKE STADIUM FOOT BALL HE foot ball season of I904 came in accompanied by a small bacillus which swaggered in quietly, took a good firm grip of us, shook us good and hard until only a remnant was left, made us yell typhoid four times and thenf left us feeling a little crestfallen and blue but still in the arena. We take our hats off to the measly little germ. He was too much for us. but he was kind to us, nevertheless, for he taught us our lesson, and it was a lesson of great consequence to Old West High. We now know not only that we can not take a drink out of any old ditch we come to-unless we filter it through a sieve and call it city water-but, that the time to get acquainted with ourselves and create a thing known distinctively as the West High spirit is the time of disaster such as the past season of 1904 furnished us. May we extol our virtue so far as to say we met this emergency in a way un- expected even to ourselves. and caused the awakening of that which shall long be known as the Fighting Spiritn of Old West High. The story ofthe season of I904-without recounting the series of mishaps which befell the team because of typhoid fever claiming as its victims Buell McCash, left guardg Lewis Strawthers, right half-backg Kenneth Macdonald, guard and quarter-back, and Locke Macomber, tackle and full back-may be briefly told. With the opening of the school term the team was found without a coach. Practice was begun at once, however, under the direction of Captain Wells and 7 Terrell '01, an old faithful of West High. The work of the team had passed through the stages of preliminary practice before Mr. john Middleton, an old time foot ball player from Simpson College, was secured as coach. Mr. Middleton took immediate charge of the team and rounded it into shape as best he could in so short a time to meet the strong team from Capital Park, October lst. seventy-eight The defeat by Capital Park of 5 tofO, though not altogether unexpected, was dishearten- ing to the team and put an end at the very beginning of the season to any hopes of champion- ship. The coaches got busy during the next week's practice and by the time of the Panora game put a team into the field which succeeded in defeating the Farmer Lads of Guthrie County High School IZ to 0 in two short halves. At the close of the Panora game Mr. Middleton, who had but gotten started on his duties as coach, took leave ot the team as he wished to accept an offer from Utah which would permit of his carrying on his engineering work. Mr. Chase, a member ofthe l899-l90l - I902 Grinnell football teams, who as physical director had up to this time had charge of conditioning the team, was then given complete coaching charge of them. This change of coaches during the season naturally necessitated a slight change in the system of play, which always hard on a team. The week following the Panora game in the 41 to 0 game with Oskaloosa the team gave encouragement to its supporters as it displayed at times some of the best team work which it put forth during the season. The game with Lincoln resulted, as was to be expected with Macdonald, Hyland, Strawthers and McCash all out of the game, in favor of Lincolnf I 6 to 6. West High's fumbling and erratic playing was all caused by the inability of the coach to find a man among either the first or the second team who could fill the quarter position accept- ably. The playing of the team in the last twenty-five minutes when they scored a touch-down and were two other times within striking distance of Lincoln's goal gave the first indication of the fighting spirit the team showed during the remainder of the season. The only case of over-confidence the team showed during the season resulted very disastrously, and it was defeated at Marshalltown by inferior playing with a 5 to 0 score. A week later, however, they braced up under the most discouraging conditions, for Locke Macomber was hopelessly out of the game and four of the remnant of the team had been out of the game during the week previous, sickness in the form of a slight attack of malaria fever being the cause. They defeated North High I6 to 0. The team which represented the school in the North High game remained intact for one whole week. To this fact in large measure may the splendid showing made against the State Champion be accounted for. The annual East-West High game came this year on November l8th. To describe in detail this magnificent game would be the only real way to give an adequate idea of that contest. Seldom do lookers-on have such a chance to see high-grade foot ball played. Seldom do supporters of two teams find teams so worthy of the splendid cheering and loyalty which was shown on that occasion. Seldom is it the privilege of two elevens to say the victory is theirs. To East High is all credit given for the consistent manner in which they took advantage of their one opportunity to score-and for the score of six which they secured. To West High is all credit given for the stubbom fight they put up with a team hardly expected to hold their opponents to a better score than 30 to O. Of both teams it can be said, that they fought their best fight-that they played a hard and clean, manly game 'that they put up an exceed- ingly high class article of foot ball. It was one ofthe hardest fought, best supported, and cleanest games of foot ball ever played between these two schools. It was a game which will long be remembered by those who saw it played and by those who took part in it. seventy-nine I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. The game on Thanksgiving Day with Dubuque brought the season to a pleasant close as the score resulted IZ to 0 in favor of West High. Not alone is the credit clue for the showing made in the season of I904 to the team and its supporters+but to a band of faithfuls whose names follow and who this year went to make up what was known as the scrubs, is a large share due. The second team had on its roll at different times during the season these men: Collins Denny, Allen Chapell, Joe Perry, Alfred Evans, Harry Loudermilk, Willard Halverson, Brahman Hyde, Everett Stevans, Ralph Allen, john Burrows, Earl Coffee, Carl Heiclt, Randolph Marshall, and Donald Wagner. The second team played but two games during the fall. Their game with the C. C. C. Cfs resulted in a score favorable to C. C. C. Cfsg while on Thanksgiving Day they defeated North High Seconds l 7 to 0. SCHEDULE OF GAMES W. H Oct. Capital Park at Des Moines 0 Oct. Panora at Panora . I2 Oct. Oskaloosa at Des Moines 41 Oct.

This series was inaugurated by Mr. Chase in response to an urgent request from many girls that they be given some attention ath- letically. The enthusiasm manifested throughout the entire series was great. Every practice day girls Hocked to the gymnasium to try for their teams. It was with considerable difiiculty that some of the teams were selectedg many of the girls displaying about equal abilities as players. About the first of March teams to represent each class were selectedg each team choosing its own captain. The series began by the Seniors playing the Sophomores and the Juniors the Freshmen, and continued until each team had played one game with each of the other teams. A linal game was played between the two teams having the highest average scores of games won. The Freshman succeeded in winning all their games and the Seniors all theirs, except that against the Freshmen. ln the final game the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a score of l l to 7. The winning of the final game by the Seniors made the games won stand three for the Freshmen and three for the Seniors. Therefore a championship game was arranged and played May 4th, when the Seniors were again victorious,this time by the close score of 5 to 4. The playing of the girls showed both skill in making baskets, accurate throwing, and fine team work. The rapid manner in which they learned the game and the improvement which they displayed as the series progressed argues well for a fast series of games next year.

D. M. their seventh annual play, Sweet Lavender. The production was well received and the cast certainly showed talent and care- ful training. Every character scored a hit and it would be impossible to say that one sur- passed another according to the part each one had to act. The only regret we have to express is that the Senior class next year will not have the same stars to win them fame and glory.

AUTHORS NOTE The author of Sweet Lavendern begs to remind his American patrons-amongst whom there may be those who are unfamiliar with the mode of life he at- tempts to depict in this play-that a set of chambers in the precincts of the Temple, though constituting of only a portion of a house, is a distinct and separate establishment. Each set of chambers has an inde- pendent door, opening upon a common stairway, be- hind which door the occupant of the chambers is as much the lord of a castle as if he were in enjoyment of a mansion or a villa surrounded by a brick wall. Chambers consists of three or four rooms and perhaps a pantry, and are often occupied by two boon companions. The female domestic attached to the house-who Hits, not unlike the busy bee, from fioor to floor-is, in the phraseology of Temple life, called the Laundressg and if, like Ruth Rolt, she dwells upon the premises, she enjoys the further dis- tinction of being the Housekeeper. The man who shelters in the Temple precincts obtains a silent security from the conventionalities of society. He is untrammelled and uncriticised. ninety-five I 9 0 5 ANNUAL I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M.

I-le referred to the picture ofa young girl, in a big hat and bare shoulders, who peered from between two vicious advertisements in the latest edition of the Daily Transcript. Not half bad, l said. 'iWho is she? Oh, the Countess de Something-or-other. Christened one of King E.ddie's big boats the other day. mThe Countess Louise Agatha of Strathsholm christened His lVlajesty's ship Inconceivable the day before yesterday. Father and mother are traveling in America. She lives with her uncle, Count Darnley, attends Firmingham Hall School and is eighteen years old,' H I read at random. HA most interesting young lady, l concluded as l threw the paper under the table and reached lazily for a text book. Greek? asked Con. Greek, l replied. Greek, Greek, Hunk, Hunk, he soliloquized. Why in thunder didn't we take Swede- then we could talk with Tillie. A Con sat down, but only for a qminute. There! he said, as he grabbed my hat and started for the door, ul left my Dutch primer under Casey's bed. l guess l'd better go and get itg Casey not having the love and respect for books of learning that l have, is apt to neglect it. l was ears deep in Greek when Con returnedfwhich proves he was absent some time. He entered in his usual breezy manner and all thought of study fled. Say, do you know what Casey and young Balfour are going to do? he asked. Of course I didn't know because l knew Casey. 'LWell, he continued, Hyou remember what Bott has been springing on us in Dutch for the lastgsome time, about 'the excellent benefit to be derived by corresponding with some student in Germany who is striving as hard to master your language, as l hope you are, to learn his.' Well, my dear, said Con-resuming his usual manner after his lengthy speech imitating the eminent Dr. Bottfuthat fool Casey and young Balfour have picked out two promising Frauleins and they're going' to Write to them. Candidly it is the most childish pro- ceeding that ever came to my notice. Con threw himself into his huge chair with a grunt of disgust. I-le read the paper indus- triously for a long, long time. When at last he spoke he asked in a meditative way, Billie, what do you think of Casey and Balfour? 'AlVlost childish proceeding that ever came to my notice, l replied as l glanced quickly at Con. The god of meditation ruledg Con had dropped his paper and his eyes looked far away and dreamy. He seemed not to have heard my reply. Honestly now, William, what do you think of it? The most childish pro4-'H But it wouldn't be half bad if you knew what you were butting up against, he inter- rupted. one hundred Just how are you going to tell what you are butting up against? Pick your company, chumpf' But all names sound alike in Dutch, I protested. Does the Countess Louise Agatha of Strathsholm sound like any name you ever heard before? Frederick ! William! H But she isn't Dutchf, I said. Suits our purpose so much better, if she were, we couldn't write to her. as It s no use to try, Connie. She has some match-making auntie or some cruel uncle who opens all her letters. And besides, I never heard of a countess getting letters. Neither did I, but they get them all right-if they owe as much as their hubbies usually do. Why man, it's a cinch. Pa and ma in America. Letters postmarked 'Americaf No, no, auntie doesn't open letters from mamma. See? and Con winked horribly. You know the paper said she was a very democratic young lady and fond of a lark. Conf I said, in my most parental manner, be sensible. Do you know what it would mean for a humble student of the University of Harvard to write to the Countess Louise Agatha of Strathsholm? Why, man, you would be disgraced in the eyes of the world and the defendant in a breach of promise suit. Discretion to the winds, said Con dramatically. This night we hobnob with royalty. Will you write it? I ventured. A Just as soon as not. Will you tell me what to say? I'm so fussecl I don't know what to do. . Go get the ink, I said, it fell into the waste basket last night. I-low shall we address her? asked Con: My dear Aggie? Con and I flunked miserably in mathematics the next day. We also flunked miserably in German, but our hearts were light for the morning mail bore our joint letter to the Countess Louise Agatha. It was a fourteen page manuscript written in Con's very business like hand upon my monogramed frat paper. To quote the letter would be tedious in the extreme. We opened with a profuse apology for daring to hope that we might correspond with a peeress of the realm. This occupied four pages. Con's exploits on the foot-ball held-very modestly told,-and a detailed description of the weather occupied four more. Numerous questions on the English methods of doing numerous things, and incidentally,how it felt to be a countess occupied two more. The remaining four pages were used for more apologies and we closed with a very fitting climax in which we begged to remain her ardent admirers and hope for a further acquaintance. It took us until nearly two o'clock to perfect our labor and in consequence we flunked the next day, but as I have said, our hearts were light. Shall I describe the ceaseless hours of waiting, the sleepless nights, the anxious watching forthe postman, and the feverish haste with which we opened all letters? No, I could not bear to see it in print. I will carry the reader to a happier day, a month later, when Con, with trembling fingers, tore open a letter postmarked London, Ir was from Agatha. one hundred one I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. I 9 0 5 ANNUAL W. D. M. nDear Friend Mr. Connelly, it began, in a singularly legible hand, Nl received your letter a long time ago but Uncle Rupert was undecided as to whether he would let me answer it or not. He finally said l might, but my big sister, Lois Alberta-the one that christened the boat-laughed at me very hard. l was very glad to receive your letter because it is the first letter I ever received. Santa Claus was very good to meg he gave in I could stand it no longer, my head swam, lights danced before my eyes, and l staggered to the table for support. Con was a picture of utter despondency. His under lip twitchecl nervously and his chin sank until it rested on his breast. He looked vacantly at the bit of crumpled paper in his hand and then let it fall to the floor. Thus passed five minutes, ten minutes, a century, and then Con spoke in a hollow, unnat- ural voice. William, do we still possess that--rag of freedom that printed her picture? I sought Con's Dream Book where he had deposited the whole sheet. Ah, Lois, Lois! he sighed, why did they make that awful mistalceg why did they dig Connie's grave so deep? Billie, he said at length, Hthe Countess Louise Agatha will be seven pears old tomorrow, what shall we send her? C. GOGSWELL, J ff Y il IQ? ff .5 Tw ill j A , J xxx 1, fl! l ' X 1 H' f ' l A. A 21.

I was standing on the corner this afternoon. A gentleman came up and said, Tell me, do you have to take a car to get to jail? I said, Not always, the last time I took an umbrella. He said, How long does it take to get out and back? I said, It took me two months to get out and about three days to get back. The first day out I wasn't feeling well. I went to see a doctor. I-Ie gave me some medicine. I gave him a dollar, and there was no change. The next day he gave me more medicine. I gave him another dollar, and still there was no change. The next day I went to see him. When he wasn't looking I put my hand into his pocket. I-Ie asked me how I was feeling. I told him I felt a little change, but not as much as I expected. One morning I was waiting to see the doctor and a lady came in and mistook me for the doctor. She said, I want you to treat me. I said, What'll you have, ice cream or soda? Then a man came rushing in. He said, My hair is coming out. Well, I said, I didn't know you kept it here. No, no, he said, My hair is coming out. Tell me what to get to keep it in. I told him to get a bag. An humble boy with a shining pail, Went gladly singing down the dale, To where the cow with the brindle tail On clover her palate did regale. An humble bee did gaily sail F ar over the soft and shady vale, To where the boy with the shining pail Was milking the cow with the brinclle tail. The bee lit on the cow's left ear, Her heels flew up through the atmosphere, And through the leaves of a chestnut tree The boy soared into eternity. - A---. - - . .

Classes indoors and out of doors for advanced and beginning students. Special classes for children. lnstruction will be given in all branches of free-hand drawing and painting. The subject matter for study will consist of all sorts of natural objects. fruit, llowers, bric-a- brac, draperies, plaster casts and the living costumed model. The classes will work out of doors about half the time, studying whatever seems most attractive in the parks and along the rivers, whether it be landscape or Hower. Continual attention will be given to pictorial composition, both realistic and decorative. Each member of the school will be given as much liberty as possible in the choice of medium, such as oil colors, water colors, pastels, charcoal, pencil, pen and ink and wash drawings. The object of the school is to help each one do in the best possible way that which he most desires to do. School teachers who wish practice in drawing and painting are especially invited to investigate the school. Art is to be taught for artis sake. The standard is universal. The student's progression is made, not so much through a gradation of subject matter as through conception. A child is taught to grasp the elementary phase of the ordinary picto- rial subject and worlc toward a more mature conception. For particulars call at or address THE.

IF NOT, CALL PHONE No. 2222, AND HAVE IT ENTERED There are persons in Des Moines so short-sighted that they ignore the general welfare of the community in which they live and make their living, and in the end are losers. The School Directors of Des Moines are not men of this sort. They know that the Mutual Telephone Company has been built and is owned by Des Moines capital, and that every dollar of its income is paid out and remains in the community. They know that it pays in taxes, to the treasurer of Polk county, over 5151600.00 a year, while no other telephone company doing business in the county pays 340000. They know that the 700 men of Des Moines who own the Mutual are interested in, patronize and pay thousands of dollars annually towards the support of the public schools. They know that the Mutual has so reduced the rates of telephone service in Des Moines as to make it possible for persons in every walk of life to have telephones in their homes. They know that the Mutual Telephone Company, and il alone, stands between the people of this city and a telephone monopoly--between the people and uncontrolled telephone rates. And knowing these things, the School Directors of Des Moines have chosen the Mutual as the official telephone company of the public schoolsg have installed a Mutual phone in every school-house in the school dis- trict and in the offices of their superintendent and secretary, and have engaged the Mutual, by written contract, to furnish them with telephone service for the next ftve years.
