To show their appreciation of us and to show how much theyloved us, they placed us in charge of the nurses, Miss Bryan and lVliss lVloore CGod bless themj. Our kind. nurses with their wise sayings and watchfulness managed to save us from falling in evil ways and kept us in school the required time. And then, oh joy of joys! They allowed us, poor little infants that we were, to go into politics. Yep, they let us elect a president Cimagine itl, a vice president and a secretary-treasurer. After great deliberation CH and wild waving of hands. we managed to make lylr. Wallace understand that we wanted Jake Schultz for our presidentg Reba Kelly for vice-presidentg and DeForest, llliller for secretary-treas- urer. Oh, we were a wise little bunch of infants even if the upper-classmen didn't think so and, what is more, told us so. VVhen we were two weeks old, we showed the other classes that we were alive and kicking by winning third place in the Spectator contest. The Seniors thought that all they needed to win the contest was to tell the world they were Seniors, but the Freshmen, pcor little ignorant children, CSenior Versionj sent their DeForest Nliller out and he, going to all the lXIillers in town, managed to win first prize for himself and third place for the class. Then when we were a little older, we were permitted by the upper-classmen to have a booth at the Fort Dodge lVIixer. Later, on November 14, the l'infants with their year-old brothers and sisters, the Sophomores, held an interesting party at IClk's Hall. Believing in advertising, the Freshmen used their colors very plentifully the green showing our Ufreshnessll and the white, our upurityf' ClVe had not yet been contaminated by the upper-classmenl, Again, on llflarch 27, we broke in the new 'lfoundlingsn who arrived in January. By this time we had more confidence in ourselves, and were able to enjoy ourselves. When next we gathered together we were Sophomores. illost of the yrung men had lengthened their trousers and the young ladies had quit wearing braids and rib- bons. This year, with a little order prevailing, we elected Fred Dehe, presidentg lldark Nesbit, vice president, Ruth Lumry, secretary-treasurer, and Nliss Ames, class advisor. CThe boys of the class were beginning to develop their eyesightj Owing to the undesirable influence of the upper-classmen, and partly to keep from spoiling the order of things, we condescended to allow the Seniors to win the Spectator contest, the Juniors, second, while we took third place, and permitted the Freshmen to occupy their logical place, fourth. On October 7, the Sophomores helped to make the Freshmen Reception a sur:- cess. Our own trials and tribulations being so fresh in our minds, we acted as pro- tectors C?D for the Hkidsf' A little later we chose our class colors, red and white, and as a result, we were all taxed fifty cents to purchase a flag. On lylarch 24, we had a class party, and another one in llflay. At both parties our flag occupied the most important place, to remind us of our ideals Calso, the void in our pocke'ts formerly occupied by a fifty-cent pieced Both parties were a great success from all standpoints, even the Seniors said so. This year the Sophomore class had the honor of having the last issue of the Spectator named the Sophomore Issue. This was because we turned in more material than any of the other classes. Then too, athletics were beginning to claim our attention. Pick Thomas. -lake Schultz, Boscoel' lVlanning, and Holder were the football artistsgu Red Royce, basketball performerg Roland lllaguire gave exhibitions on the art of lllerr curyg and Miltoin Puterbaugh began to tell us what was and what wasn'tH in debate. llfly, how time fliesl lt was September 21, IQ16 almost before we knew it and on that eventful day we elected our Junior class officers. lllilton Puterbaugh was Forty elected president: Nlark Nesbit continued on his path of vice as vice presidentj Frances Nliller was chosen for secretary, and Donald Cole was elected treasurer. Kliss Jones received a majority of the votes for class advisor. On October 4, the results of the Spectator contest were announced, and they were highly satisfactory to the Class of '18, We were in the first place with a percentage of 170. It certainly showed that the Junior class had all kinds of Upepu and plenty to spare. A week later our flag was raised over the high school building and then a program was given by members of the class in the Assembly. hflilton Puterbaugh accepted the Spectator cup for the class at the same time. Willard llall was the scene of our first Junior party. The party was given to celebrate our victory in the Spectator contest and was held on October 18. The hall was tastefully decorated in the' class colors with yellow and black 'ftrimmings to carry out the Hallowe'en effect. A cheery log fire was kept going in the fire- place around which the old veterans of the class could congregate and talk ushopf' Light refreshments were served about ten-thirty, while games and dancing were the amusements of the evening. On October 28, the junior class assisted at the reception given by the three upper classes for the Freshmen. The reception was held in the high school and was a great success. Again, on February 6, we held another party-this time at the high school. fVVe were beginning to hit the high spots as you can see by the number of parties! The only drawback at this party was that we had not figured on the increase in dimensions of some of our classmates. As a result, we ran short of eats, Roscoe Nlanning, Harry Shaffner, Nlartin and Carl Holder, and a few others taking more than their portion. fThe food conservation law should have been in effect thenj lllarch 30, one of the best if not the best Junior play ever given in VVest High was put on by the Class of '18, It showed that there was plenty of stage talent in our ranks and also netted the class over a hundred dollars for the Junior-Senior res ception. ' This year there was talk of not having a Junior-Senior Reception and using the money for some war purpose instead. But after long discussion it was decided to have the reception as customary. Therefore on lylay 25 the Seniors. soon to de- part into oblivion and their successors, soon to spring into fame, gathered together at K. of P. Hall. The hall was decorated in the colors of both classes and was surely attractive. A delightful dinner was served and then a program took up the re- maining part of the evening. Finally comes our Senior year, when we can have a little rest from toil and hardships. Our dear teachers seem to realize this fact and are therefore verv thoughtful and considerate of our welfare. They are so anxicus to have us graduate they even keep us an extra period after school if they think we are resting too much. This year we chose VValter Brown, president, Samuel Rubin, vice-presidentg Frances llliller, secretaryg Ruth Lumry, treasurer, and Bliss Green, class advisor. Again we demonstrated our superior ability by winning the Spectator contest. As a reward we were allowed to give a play, A Reunion of the Staff in IQ47,H and to have the last issue of the Spectator named the Senior Issue. We held a class party on November 23 at the high school. The event of the evening was the indoor track meet between Hudson and f'-lesupf' lt is useless to attempt to name the various membe'rs of our class who have distinguished themselves in the service of the school and of the Nation. Suffice it to say, the Class of '18 is justly proud of the boys she sent to the army and the navy. of the fellows who have fought on many a field for old West High, and last, but not least, of the members both boys and girls who have talked their way to victory for the school. ' Wishing you all a continual success in West lligh, and assuring you that we will think of you often, the class of 1918 bids you Farewell. MERWYN NIERRICK, '18. Forty-one Class Poem Dear school of ours, we leave you now. VVe hear the world calling us, But first we'll make our solemn vow, For you have placed your trust in us. You are sending us into a world of war To battle that ideals may liveg When the world has need as ne'er before And you have taught us our best to give. llIany boys have gone from your love and care To give their all in Freedomls name. The'y're thinking of you in the lulls over thereg Their deeds will brighten the shield of Fame. And some of your girls will enter the fight To nurse the maimed and the infirmg VVbile others at home will pray through the night For our laddies who will not return. So we'll help in the struggle that soon we may win And the banner of peace be unfurledg Hut you've taught us that then our task will begin For we are the hope of the worldfy And this is our vow to you, VVest High, Wherever we are, whatever we do, NVelll pay the price through sacrifice For our country, the world-and you. The class of 'IS is ready to go But welll cherish the memory of old West High, And youlll follow us by the deeds we do. Dear school of ours, goodbye.

The program was held in the old high school building, and Dr. Floyd Barron, the great evangelist, was chairman for the evening and introduced the different members taking part in the program. The program was given a very good start when lX'Iiss lXIary VVatkins, who has been in grand opera for some time, sang a solo. lkfiss VVatkins was accompanied by her great pianist, lllartin Holder. After this Milton Puterbaugh told of his movie work and announced that his star vampire was Naomi Broell. Hortense Ebel and Cato Shaulis, his comedians, and that his best director was Harland Shaw. Nlore music followed this by the Painless Trio, Chautauqua Singers. The trio consisted of Leland Burbank, lVIark Nesbit, and Raymond Heinrich. One of their songs was written by lllerwyn blerrick, with the words by Edna Lichty. Blr. Merrick and Blix Lichty's songs are growing very popular. Frances lXfIiller gave a few of her ideals that have made her slum work so successful. A violin solo concluded the program. This was given by Miss Floy Abbs, who is with the Nfetropolitan Company. After this the members of the old class were invited to a banquet at the Lamb Chop Housef' The members arrived at the Lamb Chop House in limousines furnished for the occasion by lyliss Forbes. Miss Forbes is said to be one of America's foremost automobile dealers. Upon entering Mr. Lamb's place of business, they were greeted by Mrs. Lamb, who was formerly Bliss Helen RIcDowell. After this the members seemed to be dazed by the wonderful music and still more when they recognized Mr. Walter Brown with his wonderful Symphony Orchestra. As soon as the guests were seated, the orchestra struck up a lively air and who should come into the spot-light but Belle Hanna and Clarence VVilson, the famous dancers. After this Helen Cowles and Carl Holder gave a truly spectacular skating stunt which certainly proved that the Class of '18 had some high rollers. It was then announced that the banquet which the class had just consumed had been planned by the great economist, Robert Noonan, and his wife, Greta McIntosh, and had been prepared by the best chef NIL Lamb could secure, Sam Rubin. Although a great many of the old class could not be present, the editor was in- formed as to their present life directly or indirectly. Reba Kelly is living in France now since the war.

Forty-four Class Statistics The Class of ,18 started in as Freshmen with a class roll of one hundred twenty-five. Some were long and lanky, We all had lots of ambition, Others were short and fat, And were all determined to win, Some had lots of ginger, So we opened up our text-books But some cared not for that. And began to dig right in. Seventy-eight of us have been digging in ever since. There are forty-four girls and thirty-four boys in our class now. Some of these are engaged in occupa- tions which are useful, amusing, and otherwise, for we have among us five Millers, one VVagoner, one Smith, and one Burbank. Among the possessions of the Seniors we find the following articles of value: a Ruby-an especially large and brilliant one, a Belle. a lot of Ioye, one Grace, a Buzzard, a Carol and a Cobb. one Kins- man, a few Cowles, some Powers, also some Noonan, a llclntosh, a pair of twins, a Lamb, a lX'Iark against us but not a very big and black one, and interjection- Oh Shaw, you know-, and two Ilolders. The members of our class have bought eighteen Liberty Bonds and sixty-eight Baby Bonds and will undoubtedly buy more during the summer. Variety seems to be the spice of life in our class, for seven of us are to become nurses, one a designer, four, secretaries, ten, teachers, five, musicians, five, home economists, two, dentists, four, medical men, four, stenographers, four, farmers, three, financiers, one, a proprietor of a beauty parlor, one, a detective, and we are also to have one playground worker, five engineers, eight civil service employees, a librarian, and a housekeeper. VVe can see from these figures that we would naturally have a wide range of favorite studies. English ranks first among these' and Physics second. The most unpopular subjects seem to be German and Mathematics.

Fortyasevcn Valedictory From the earliest time man has been interested in his rights. He has protected them, he has sought them out, he has gone to war to gain them. The history of the progress of the world is but a record of the struggle made in behalf of man's rights. One illustration of this is the pressure that was brought to bear on King John of England which resulted in his giving the English people the Magna Charta-com- monly and properly called the safeguard of English libertiesf' In that great charter of 1215, you will remember, the people were assured justice to all and representation in the government of the land. Then we have the example of the Frenchmanls fight for liberty. The Rights of Klan, a concession gained from the ruling class in 1789, declared that all men are equal, that the people are the real sovereigns, and that law is but the expression of the general will. A violation of these rights a few years later brought on the French Revolution with all its terror and bloodshed which shocked the civilized world. And finally in our own America we are familiar with the course taken when American rights and liberties were trampled upon and disregarded. We prize very highly that wonderful document signed in 1776 which declared our independence and stated our rights. This, too, brought on a war-a revolution, if you please-but a revolution which left the world to gaze upon the first application of Democracy to a people 3,000,000 strong. There was no reign of terror, no rule of anarchy follow- ing the newly-gained freedom but a new experiment in the government of a nation. Throughout the operation of this experiment opinions were formed and condi- tions noted which led men to conclude tnat true Democracy-and when I say Democ- racyll I speak of a sentiment, a spirit, and not a form -of government which is only the outgrowth and the result of the former-that true Democracy, was interested in first, equal opportunity for allg second, fair play for everyoneg third, free- discussion in speech, in the press, in the pulpit, and fourth, the loyal service of all in the com- m-on good. It is this fourth and last fundamental that we shall consider this evening. ls it not possible, Ladies and Gentlemen, that in our attainment of liberty and freedom we may have become narrow-minded and selfish, and may we not right now have somewhat the wrong conception of Democracy? We are told that the Anglo-Saxon tendency is to value liberty supremely. The social function of liberty, we find, is to insure variation and progress, to permit the new to modify and -im- prove the old. But liberty without fraternity and equality would disintegrate society. Theodore Parker, a New England theologian, has cleverly said: Democracy means not, 'I'm as good as you are,' but, 'you're as good as I am.' H And we feel that this must be the true conception of Democracy. In our jealous guarding of our rights we must not refuse to recognize the existence and validity of the rights of others. In IQO2 in an address to the New York Chamber of Commerce, Colonel Roose- velt gave evidence of seeing this ideal conception. I-Ie stated there that the first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight, that he shall not be a mere passenger, but shall do his share in the work that each generation of us finds ready at hand, and furthermore, that in doing his work he shall show, not only the capacity for sturdy self-help, but also self- respecting regard for the rights of othersf' It is evident, then, that the task of all government is to reconcile equality with liberty. By equality we mean that social condition which prevails when a just government restrains those who, being power- ful, are also unscrupulous, from taking any unfair advantage of the weak. We believe with Professor Cooley of Nlichigan that the desire of possession is in itself a good thing, a phase of self-realization and a cause of social improvement. It is immoral or greedy only when it is without adequate' control. In considering this idea of equality we immediately recall the conditions in the sweat-shops created by the greed of the owners, the conduct of the men who con- Forty-eight trol wealth, and the work of politicians. All these men may not be absolutely in- human but they have all forgotten the rights of others in the attainment of what they consider to be their own rights and liberties. Now we would not be misunderstood. YVe wish to point out that to permit the intelligent and the strong to profit by their superiority so long as they derive their gain from the bounty of nature, and not from the enslavement or robbery of their brethren, is one thing, to permit or encourage them to use their superiority at the expense of their fellows is a different thing. VVe do not presume to say that Democracy, standing for equality as well as liberty, insists that everyone be on the same level. Only those who have given the subject but little thought and who have developed an abnormal degree of socialism will preach this doctrine. James Russell Lowell says that Democracy is commonly supposed to reduce all mankind to a dead level of mediocrity in character and culture, to vulgarize men's conceptions of life, and therefore their code of morals, manners, and conduct--to endanger the rights of property and possessionf' But we hasten to point out to those who regard Democracy in this light that the enlargement of social consciousness does not alter the essential relation of individ- uality to life, but simply gives it a greater field of success or failure. Thus we conclude that the watchwords of Democracy are liberty, equality, and fraternity, and we have come to see that only the community which rightly values equality and fraternity can permanently maintain its cohesion and stability. We have come to see that service is the slogan of every citizen of a true democracy. In re- ferring to a citizenys wealth, power, or talents, we believe the question should no longer be, How much d-oes he have? nor even, How did he get it ? but HVVhat is he doing with it?y' lt is encouraging to note among the choicest people of our time -those who are most representative of the inner trend of Democracy-a certain generous contempt for distinction and a passion to cast their lives on the general current, and among the reading and thinking members of our Democracy, there is at least the feeling that the working of the whole ought to result in the fulfillment of some humane purpose. l am sure that the thought uppermost in our minds now is that Americals fulfillment of some humane purpose is to give true Democracy to the world. NVe are waging this war to make the world safe for Democracy, we are told. lf that is true, then when we do help to establish this ideal in the world may it be the true form of Democracy. lt is our duty to do this. A patriotic American today is a man who is not niggardly and selfish in the things that he enjoys that make for human liberty and the rights of man: He wants to share them with the whole world. The great task for America is to give the world a form of Democracy which consists of a larger equity and its perfect expression and guar- antee in the institutions of civil liberty. Certainly there is no one who will question why this is America's special work. It is because we, alone, of all the belligerent nations have recognized the moral and humanitarian issue in this VVorld VVar and are in a position to offer the world a balm for her wounds. An influential London newspaper speaking as the unof- ficial representative of the Allies recently stated that the Americans look on the war from a point of view, which after four years of stupifying vicissitude, we have lost. There are millions of men among the Americans who are fighting in the simple faith that they are doing duty in a good cause. So it is by the other nations themselves that this duty is placed on the great American people. And it is a comforting and encouraging thought that we are particularly well qualified to assume the burden. America has all the forces and conditions neces- sary for the perfect achievement of the task. The American people have developed a spirit of helpfulness, of humane brotherhood, which alone will suffice to make the reconciliation of equality with liberty complete and lasting. Forty-nine So let us take heart in the knowledge that we have this gigantic yet wonderful task to perform and let us congratulate ourselves upon the fact that we are spe- cially qualified to undertake the Work. Let us show ourselves Americans by show- ing that we do not want to go off in separate camps or groups by ourselves, but that we want to cooperate with all other classes and all other groups in a common enterprise which is to release the world from bondage. , mg? MII.TlJN PUTERBAUGH. Salutatory, The Girl With a Purposen Lingering for a few moments to catch a breath of inspiration as we near the end of what has seemed to us a tedious and difficult journey, we glance around somewhat wearily to find ourselves almost surrounded by the barriers of uncer- tainty. On one side rises the almost unsurmountable heights of fameg on the other the depths of failure and disappointment. Behind us in the dark expanse lie the by-gone days with their varied experiencesg before us lies the future with its golden opportunities. The girl who imagines she can gain eminence without a fixed purpose and without following the well-beaten paths which her successful predecessors have trodden is more liable to meet with disaster and defeat. A few years ago it was the custom to give girls a very limited education if any. Weziltliy families placed their daughters in some finishing school in order that they might learn to manage a home and to become social successes. The poorer classes of people were unable to give their daughters any education whatever excepting that which could be given at home. NVith such an ideal it was not strange that girls did not enter professions. But out of such conditions certain girls possessed by high ideals came forth not only in home and social life but also in the highest professions. Along the broken path innumerable girls have followed these leaders until it has been proven that with opportunities equally to those' of her fellow-man she is capable of filling any position where skill and intelligence are demanded. -lane Addams and Helen Gould, the great philanthropists, girls who, dominated by altruistic purposes and controlled by indomitable will-power, accomplished their ideals. Hy so doing they have made life worth living for many people. llellen Keller is another example of a girl with a pzzrposrf who has overcome difficulties which before seemed utter impossibilities. Today more opportunities are offered than ever before but only the girl with a purpose will rise above the ordinary rank and file. She asks no favors: she seeks no honors except those fairly won. Keen, alert, a lover of true sport, sympathetic, true, capable of sacrifice and hard tasks, honest and pure, such is the girl with high ideals. To her who seeks a life lived on higher planes, where ease and comfort seem to dwell, must come the realization that their heights were not obtained without m'uch labor. The tones with which Schumann-Heink holds audiences breathless: the per- fect abandonment of self in the care of others by Clara Bartong the establishment of Hull House by Jane Addamsg the propagation of temperance reform by Frances Willard, which today foretells the possibilities of a saloonless nation, all thrill ul: with admirationg but we must remember that all this was only made possible by in- cessant study and toil. The girl with a purpose will work conscientiouslyg will not be deterred from her forward course by temptations or allurements but with her purpose firmly in- trenched in an honest mind, strives on, on, and on, until she reaches the height of her ambition. Then when the activities of her life have ceased she will look 'back on a well spent life full of great achievements. Since the days of Augustus the world has realized that the poet spoke the truth when he said: 'fLabor omnia vincit,', Labor conquers all.

The Freshmen at length ventured to gaze re-verently at the august Juniors and Seniors and through the efforts of Keith Buechele they were made to feel at home. U Those who had been in school one semester had elected Roland lVlcGuire, president, Gertrude Holmes, vice-plresidentg and -lames McAlvin, secretary and treasurer. The new Freshmen met enthusiastically in Nliss Jones's room and, in a noisy meeting, chose Lloyd Shepherd for president, Dorothy Klenks for vice-presi- dent, and Elizabeth Forrester for secretary and treasurer. The Freshmen entered into the activities of the school at once and were represented in football by Pick Thomas and MZulix Schultz. The class basketball teams, captained by 'cljickw Thomas and Evangeline Powers were declared basketball champions of the school and celebrated their victory in a rousing banquet. Herbert Mattliews, presidentg Clyde Milleir, vice-presidenntg and Gerftrude Holmes, secretary and treasurer, guided the Class of '19 through its second success- ful year. Several important events will make that year one of lasting memory. In the first place, the basketball team again won the Inter Class Basketball Champion- ship. Then the Sophomores had a sleigh ride and a picnic which were certainly enjoyed by the outsiders who attended. The winning of the Home lfleet in the same year brought the class more than its share of honor. Those who starred for the class in athletics were: Uzulixl' Schultz, ulaickl' Thomas, Clyde Miller, and Herbert lVIatthews in football, Clyde Miller and blames lVIcAlvin in track, and Herbert Mattliews and Clyde Nliller in basketball. This year, as Juniors, under the capable leadership of Leslie VVilharm, president, Ruth Miller, vice-president, Elizabeth Forrester, secretary: and Ruth Stevens, treas- urer, the class has boosted all the West High activities. Clyde hfliller, captain-elect, and Herbert llflatthews, represented the class in football, f'fZulix'l still played on the team but in some Way he was left behind with the Sophomoresj Herbert blat- thews, Clyde Miller, and James lVlcAlvin, in basketball, and James lVIcAlvin, Charles Brown, and the renowned pole-vaulter, Fritz Leimer, in track. The one party which the Juniors had during the year was postponed so long on account of the coal shortage that the Juniors did not attempt to have another. However, the Junior-Senior reception surely made up for any lack of parties. The most important date in the Junior year was February I5 for the Junior play, Advertise', was presented that evening. The Juniors proved that night that they had as much dramatic ability as the classes that had gone before them. The Juniors are proud of the cast and expect even a better 'play next year. To be sure, the Juniors have not done much yet, but next year the spirit of unity and school patriotism which has been gradually developing in the class during its three years of high school life will qualify the Class of ,IQ to fill the Seniors' place and lead in all the school activities. C. M. ,lQ. Fifty-two 3 L.. - Fifty-three Junior Class Play, Hftdvertisen One of the best Junior plays in the history of VVest High was presented in the auditorium on February 15. lt was a success viewed from any point. The room was packed with an appreciative audience due principally to the efforts of Robert Easley, business manager. Chester Owen, behind the scenes, and Evelyn Wiegand, with selections on the piano, kept the audience in good humor. Great credit is also due Miss Baker for her excellent work in coaching the play. The cast in order of ap- pearance, was as follows: Mary Grayson . . . . .Elizabeth Forrester Johnson ............. .... I . Paul Sheridan Countess De Beaurier .. ...Evangeline Powers Rodney Nlartin ..... ...Herbert Matthews Cyrus Martin .. ...... Cecil Gorman Ambrose Peale .. ....... Fritz Leimer Marie ......... . . .Janet Townesley William Smith . . . .... Charles , Brown Miss Burke ....... . . .Doris Walker George McCbe'ney . . .Leslie Wilharrn Ellery Clark ...... ...James NIcAlvin Charles Brcnron .... . . ........................... Joseph Lipkin The play, Advertise, had a clever plot and it was well brought out by the actors. lt is the story of a young Scion of Wealtli and his business venture in the soap market in competition with his father. The play, itself, abounds in humorous passages and farcical situations although at times it has almost a touch of tragedy. It ends satisfactorily for everyone, however, except the villain or rather the villainess. Herbert Matthews as Rodney and Elizabeth Forrester, who played opposite him, did excellent work in their parts, while the acting of Fritz Leimer as Peale will not soon be forgotten. .

Kenneth 'Peterson and Hllocl' llfliller were also placed on the team that represented the school at the Drake Relay Kleet. Our well-known reader, Virginia VVcolley, again honored us hy winning first place as usual in the Humorous class at the Triangular Declamatory Contest. ln the Home-coming 'Parade during f'Cattle Congress VVeek, we were well represented hy an attractively decorated float. y The most magnificent social event of the year was the renowned Sophomore party 'held in the reception hall after a play given hy some of the distinguished actors of the class.

This was September 3, 1917. Since then, happily for the repose of the upper- classmen, every small advance or early usurpation of power has been successfully suppressed by our class advisor. YVhile the class spirit has been restrained, it has not been subdued and the upper-classmen had better watch their steps, In November the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores departed from their attitude of Just a Freshman and gave us a charming eveninggthe Annual Mixer. We arrived clear-eyed and radiant and enjoyed VVatching the Dancing and likewise the Hooverized refreshments. Vivent les Upper Classmenl Two of our members, Lucille Dawson and Clara Jensen, have won places on the First Philomel and lfvelyn VViegand acts as accompanist of the organization. Gerald Turner graces the Glee Club with his presence. It really seems that our class is musically inclined for we also have four representatives in the Orchestra. But music is not our only accomplishment. VVe are wonders when it comes to track. At the Home llleet we were honored by winning fourth place. McCarty won firstplace in the pole vault but there were only two contestants. ln the relay we Ucoppedl' fourth prize.

Barnes, a graduate of lowa State Teachers' College and the Springheld Y. lNf'I. C. A. VVest High gridiron warriors started training for the hardest schedule of any team in the State and acknowledged by football experts to be one of the hardest schedules ever made by any team in the football history of Iowa. Conceit was not the cause' of this strenuous football list, but overwhelming confidence in the unusually large number of pigskin stars which unfortunately were called to the colors at Uncle Samls entrance into the world war, robbing VVest High of the best chance it ever had or undoubtedly will have to tuck away the football championship of the State. But undaunted by the loss of Hetts, Gordon Vaughan, NIcGuire, Koester, Capt. Thomas, Nauman, Gaylen Greene, Sindlinger and liagle Coach Barnes put in his best efforts to build a team out of the material left and succeeded in whipping a team into shape which reflects great credit both on his work and the school. A To start the ball rolling VVest High opened the season at home with a victory over the lfldora eleven by the score of 16 to O. For an opening game the tean? gave signs of developing into a star aggregation and enthusiasm. reigned supreme. The following Week the team ran rough shod over the Oelwein bunch on their own field, piling up 34 points and holding their opponents to a goose-egg. On the next Saturday VVest High was to receive the acid test with the title contending West Des Mioineis warriors. To make a long story short the acid proved a little too strong and our gang were defeated at the Drake Stadium, not before throwing a big scare into the Capital City crew by scoring the first touchdown and outplaying them in the first half of the encounter. But experience soon told and Des Moines checked in two touchdowns which the auditor after much figuring an- nounced to be enough to win and the score went down in the books as 12-7 in the enemyls favor. With renewed vigor Coach Barnes and his men worked hard to get into shape for the Dubuque game which was to take place at home the succeeding week. The affair was a battle royal with the Key City 'leben emerging on top with a I2-5 count. A hoodoo seemed to be on our trail and again we were defeated, this time by the strong lVIarshalltown aggregation on their own field. The fellows seemed to lack the pep and spunk which makes a winning team.

They held the un- defeated Hawkeyes to a scoreless tie and came within a few yards of the coveted goal. A stumble by Zulix just before he was going over lost our only chance for victory. In the game' with Cedar Rapids, the dope in our favor, the jinx once more started on its destructive work and another defeat was chalked up against West High, the Bunnies winning by the heart-breaking score of 7-6. Nloralz A close miss is as good as a mile. Now we come- to the greatest battle of the VVest football war, the game with the 1917 State Champions. Before one of the largest football crowds in the history of VVaterloo VVest High made up for all the defeats and achieved favorable com- ment from newspapers all over the state by holding the new Champions to the smallest score of the year.

Next year we will read of their wonderful playing on the first string line-up and no doubt most of their ability will be due to their ambitious efforts on the second team. The following men were awarded letters: YVilson, Gorman, Burnham, Haven, Reaney, Leonard, Vinton, Banton, H. Barron, KIcAlvin, Owen, Anton, Klerrick, Gardiner and Sherman. Jake Schultz, being unable to participate in football games owing to injuries received last year, took charge of the second squad. Schultz is deserving of much praise, for his helpful hints have been of great value in developing the Scrubs into a machine worthy to compete against the Firsts. Sixty-seven Sixty-eight J.

HOLDER WILSON LICHTY Individual Players .The first man that comes to our attention is Captain Holder. Mart', played a whale of a game at tackle and was connected with every play. He had a knack of judging just where a play was to be pulled off and he was surely there to meet it. This is Mart's last year and his football glory had a fitting climax' when he was picked for the all-state second team. K The captain-elect for next year is Clyde lyliller, for two years a regular on the varsity. Clyde played a smashing game at end and was known all over the state for his ability to catch forward passes, which time and time again he turned into thirty or forty yard gains., Clyde was chosen to play beside lN'Iart on the all-state second team, and will make a splendid leader for next year. Next we have Zulix Schultz, who, by his scrappy attitude and heady playing, placed VVest High on the map by being chosen by football experts as tackle on the mythical all-state eleven-an honor which only one other West High man has had. Although a natural lineman, Zulix', was shifted to fullback and made his name a by-word in all athletic circles in the state by his whirlwind defensive and plugging offensive work. The East-VVest game was Zulixls last game with the Old Rose and Black men and he will be greatly missed next year. Now we come to a name which itself means football. Paul Simpson attracted attention all over the state by his wonderful open field running and by the intelli- gent management of his team as quarterback. Paul was placed on the all-state second team and his absence will be mourned by every VVest High Booster next year for Paul graduates this year and leaves to serve in Uncle Sam's Navy. Don Cole, another man who is lost by graduation, was a model of a consistent aggressive player. There was not a minute that Cole slacked up in his work and he kept his guard going from. whistle to whistle. 'lColeyfl ended his football career at West High by being given 'honorable mention on the all-state football list. By constant plugging and' 'hard playing, 'lHap Hitchens gained an end posi- tion on the varsity, and for a first-year man showed up in great style. Hitchens's great feat was to spill interference, and a run around his end by VVest's opponents nearly always proved a failure. Hap', will be with us next year and is sure to develop into a star of the first magnitude. Introducing Bob Noonan, the boy that knocks 'em cuckoo. Bob made a hit in every town in which he played by his peppy tactics and fighting attitude. Rarely when the little half-back was called upon to carry the ball, did he fail to gain and he kept plugging away from whistle to whistle. Bob graduates this year. Towering above his fellow players, stands the giant Herb Mfatthews who held down a tackle position. 'llylatty was noted for breaking up plays and worry- ing his opponent. Although amusing off the field, lNIatty proved to be a very serious chap on the gridiron, always pepping the boys up and fighting as if his life depended on it. Uncle Sam claims NIatty as one of his fighters for Democracy. Glenn Miller held down a halfback position this last season. Docl' madt many a touchdown possible by his speed, outdistancing his opponents at many stages Sixty-nine Seventy Seventy-one 4. of the game. Doc,', who was placed on the all-city team., will be with us next year and should without doubt carve his name in the hall of football fame. Roscoe Manning is another of Unicle Sam's fighters and has represented West High on the gridiron for three years. Roscoe was one of the most dependable men on the squad and was a 'iRock of Gibraltarn in the eyes of his opponents. He was forced to quit before the end of the season on account of an injury. The pivot position this year was held by Floyd Barron, another choice for the all-city team. Tony received favorable comment all over the state for 'his ex- cellent passing ability, not making one bad heave all season. He had a habit of getfting the jump on his man which made him a most' valuable asset and his loss through graduation will be keenly felt. 0of!', This is the story of the opposing players when they 'hit Carl Holder. Stonewall worked his way from the ranks of the Scrubs intfo a Varsity position at guard. Although very quiet, Carl, who was always on the job breaking through the line and hurrying the attempts at punts made by the opposing team, proved to 'oe a valuable cog in the machine. Carl also graduates this spring., Rooster Liehty was the man who proved the greatest. pest of all to the op- ponents' attempts at end runs. Time and time again, Rooster, would scoot out from his end position, spill the interference, and down the runner in his tracks. As a receiver of passes, Rooster', was par excellence, and will be a valuable man on the IQIQ team. Four years of hard work tells the story of Lewis Powers making the first team. Handicapped by his size and weight, LewyH made up for it by his indomi- table fighting spirit, and alternated in the quarterback and end positions, outplaying his opponents to a fare-u-well. Powers was the deadliest tackler on the squad and his presence next year will be greatly missed. Last but not least we have Paul Farr, another man now in Uncle Sam's ranks. Paul was the hardest smasher on the team and was always good for a substantial gain and as a spiller and tackler, was excelled by none. Owing to injuries Paul was forced out of the game at various times- during the season and he never had a chance to show his real worth. elf Individual Scores Goals after Touchdowns touclidowns Field Goals Total Simpson . . . .... 6 0 0 36 C.

Simpson and Paul Farr as a nucleus and a squad of thirty volun- teers to pick from, Coach Barnes developed a team which made a very favorable showing, winning ten games and losing eight. The war again played havoc-breatv ing up the team at three different times during the season. After a winning com. bination had been found, Warnieir, the star center left school to take examinations for Annapolis. lblatthews took his place and after playing about five games, de- cided to join the army and left for France. Not in the least discouraged, Coach Barnes developed lVIcAlvin from a raw recruit into a fair center and things were going along nicely, when suddenly Dame Fortune injected the patriotic spirit into the hearts of Farr and Simpson who, just before the tournament at Cedar' Falls, left to join the Navy. This brought us from first place to last on the lists of the tournament dopesters as the first game with Greene resulted in an expected defeat. Instead of the regular basketball schedule this year, Coach Barnes conceived the idea of organizing a league of eight teams, each team playing one another twice, once at home and once away. This idea proved a great success and the Cedar Valley League, composed of lVIarion, Independence, lXfIanchester, Iowa Falls, Reinbeck, Teachers' Training, Cedar Falls and VVest Wziterloo went through their first annual schedule. This league gives promise of developing into a permanent organization and should promote' a greater spirit of enthusiasm for basketball among the student bodies of the several schools, I The League standing was as follows: I. Cedar Falls 5. Reinbeck 2. llffarion 6. Teachers' Training 3. Iowa Falls 7. bdanchester 4. VVest VVaterloo 3. Independence VVest High considering all the setbacks that it has been subject to, has made a showing of which any school should be proud, defeating our old rivals Cedar Falls one game and losing the other by one point and scalping our neighbors from the Training School twice. In a special game with lldorgan Park lVIilitary Academy CChicagoj West won 39-16. The receipts from this game, amounting to about 5540, were turned over to the Red Cross. Schools have been represented by teams composed -of greater stars and teams who have won more games, but no school has ever been represented by a team which has fought more, or attempted to accomplish more for their school than did the team which represented VVest High for the season ending 1918. At a banquet given at the home of Capt. Paul Simpson, Fat Leonard was unani- mously elected captain for next year. Leonard has always been a hard worker and should make a successful leader for the 1918-I9 season. The following men were awarded Honor VV s: Simpson, Farr, C. lVIiller, Leonard, lVIcAlvin and Rubin. The Second Team Owing to the wealth of available basketball material there was enough left after choosing the first team, to make one of the best second teams ever known in the history of VVest High. The Scrubs had a heavy schedule but succeeded in winning the large majority of their games. In praising a first team the Seconds, who really deserve the greater credit for coming out every night and being knocked around by the first team fellows, are often' forgotten. But this year, with Powers, Nehlsen, Hitchens, Heinrich, Brown, Holder Doc lVIiller and Trugman furlnishing the object for comment it is impossible to brush over them without giving the bunch their much deserved praise. VVe hope to hear much from these men in higher circles next year. Seventy-four QPF' FARR MCALVIN RUBIN COACH BARNES LEONARD SIMPSON MILLER Scvcnty- li ve Individual Players Despite the fact that several teams were developed this year because of enlist- ments, each team produced worked as a unit, playing for the glory of the school. 'llhese men were light, fast and shifty and composed a team recognized as being one of the best ever representing West High. goals, and the 1918 opponents for a few Playing beside Simpson we have Paul Farr, a fitting running mate for the speedy forward. A dead-shot at a tricky passer, Paul proved a valuable cog in machine. Although closely guarded by his who knew his worth, Paul always got away ringers when baskets meant victory. Farr is also lost to West High by graduation. Starting with Captain Paul Simpson, we have one of the lightest and fastest men on the team. A veteran of many games, Gaptain Simpson was always a cool and steady leader while he also managed to cage baskets from the most difficult angles and dazzled his opponents with his speed in dribbling. There was never a game in which the blonde haired boy failed to register from four to eight baskets. Paul's services next year will be missed, for he graduates with the 'Class of lI8. At a guard position we have Clyde llfliller, perhaps the fastest man on the team. Clyde, at running guard, was wonderful at breaking up plays, and throwing the ball to his forward for abasket. Clyde scored in nearly every game and at the same time held his forward to a very few baskets, and should make a star next year. Seventy-six We now usher in Fat Leonard, the smashing little guard. Fat'l played a great game, outplaying most of the larger fel- lows pitted against him. He was very tricky at dodging and making his -opponents look cheap, by getting away from them and shooting a long, accurate pass to his team mates. Leonard is cap fain-elect for next year and he is sure' to be one of the corner stones of the IQIQ aggregation. 'llhe pivot position was held hy lXlcAlvin, who won the place by hard, conscientious work. Although green at the first of the sea- son, ulylacn developed into a sure shot and an accurate passer who was always on the go throughout the game. Nlylacn will be a val- uable asset next year. Sam Rubin played guard most of the season but was shifted to forward at the tournament in place of Simpson, who was taking his examinations prior to entering the Navy. Sam had lots of fight and ginger and aided the team many times with his close guarding.

VVest High made a showing at the numerous track meets scheduled that any high school could be proud of. Not in any one meet did the team fail to score a number of points, and emerged victorious in half of them. lluch credit must be given Coach Barnes who has been instrumental in the wonderful development of the team in- dividually and as a whole, having produced such men as VValter Brown, perhaps the best quarter and halflmiler ever developed in VVest Highg Doc Iviiller, an ex- cellent dash mang Lewis'-Powers, a coming Simpson in the art of hurdling, and many other men too numerous to mention. To start things, Coach Barnes called for the annual Home lbleet to be held on April 12th, which the Seniors copped with gracious ease, scoring 61 points, while the Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen had great trouble in annexing 31 points, 22 points and I2 points respectively. This gave the coach a line on the material he had to work with, which made both himself and the school feel cheerful. After a week of hard training Coach Barnes and six men traveled to Des lVIoines to take part in the Drake relays in which High School, College and University teams participated. This event came off on the zoth of April, and although YVest Hig'1 did not make such a wonderful showing, yet they won a fourth place in the medley and showed signs of Hfuture greatness. . As a practice event just before the Cedar Valley lbleet, Coach Barnes took his proteges to Waverly to take part in a Triangular Nleet between Waverly, Nashua and West High. ln spite of the fact that Doc Miller and Peterson were sick West High managed to' win the meet by a safe margin, scoring 5616 points, mainly tnrough the efforts of Walt Brown, Lewy Powers and lVlcAlvin. Waverly placed second. The next scene of action was at Nashua with Waverlyf, Charles City, Nashua and West High the participants. West High again burned up the track, scoring 56 points, with Nashua and Waverly second and third respectively. On May 10th was held the Cedar Valley Track and Declamatory lWeet, the biggest in Northeastern Iowa. Not exerting themselves to their fullest extent on account of the Iowa City Nleet to take place on the following day, VVest High again Eighty walked away from all participants, scoring 63 I-3 points over a large field, Nashua with 36 points being the nearest competitor. Doc Miller won first in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and 440 yard run, besides helping out on the mile and half mile relay teams which won first place. Brown won first in the half mile, beating Robinson of Cedar Falls, who had won that race for the last two years. Holder placed first in the shotput, while lNIcAlvin, NIcDo-well, Shaffner and Powers accu- mulated their usual number of points. On the following day the team traveled to Iowa City. Some of the best teams of the state were represented, such as West Des lVIoine's, Davenport, Dubuque, llflarshalltown, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and many others. Our team placed fourth with seventeen points, being bested by VVest Des iNIoines, who took first with 47 points, Davenport, second with 20 points, and lVIarshalltown third with IQ points. Walter Brown placed VVest on the map by winning the half mile in a sensational race with YValters of Dubuque, considered one of the best half-milers in the state. VValt also won third in the quarter. Levxy Powers surprised both himself and all his friends by winning second in the low hurdles, running it in the fastest time he ever made. Holder placed second in the shotput, and third in the discus, while the half mile relay team composed of lXIiller, Powers, W. Brown and C. Brown came in third. Un the succeeding Saturday was held the greatest meet of the year, the State llIeet at Des ilfoines. You may talk of t1'ains, automobiles, and aeroplane: being fast, but from information tendered by the bunch who went to Des lXIoines some of those boys in the track events could out-run any machine ever invented. The only point which was credited to VVest High was that awarded to Doc NIiller who placed third in the 220 yard dash, beating Ty Smith of lN'Iarshalltown who won first place at Iowa City.In the mile, VValt Brown placed fourth, running the dis- lance in 4 minutes, thirty-seven and one-fifth seconds, one second behind the winner. Immediately afterviards Brown ran the half mile, but, tired out from the previous race, he could only secure fifth place. In view of the competition, YVest made a favorable showing and deserves much credit for the strenuous workouts which made them capable of keeping abreast with the top-notchers of the state. The above meet rang down the curtain for the most successful track season in the school's history, with all credit due to Coach Barnes, who has been instru- rrental in the training and development of the athletesvunder his guidance, and to the athletes themselves who have co-operated with the coach to make the best possible name for VVest High in track circles. Next year, with a few of the veterans back and new material to work with, VVest High should make a still better showing. West High Time Records 100 dash-G.

DEBFITE UEULFIVIHTIUN Iflgllty -tlmx 1- Debate Soon after the close of the football season a group of boys interested in debate began to study up on the question: Resolved: That the Federal Government should own and operate the railroads of the United States, constitutionality conceded. After delving into the subject until they saw how much work was required a few of the boys gave up the ship. However about twelve survived the painful operations till the tryout which was held late in December. At the tryout, after the surrounding air had been heated again and again by the gas attacks, the judges rendered their decisions as follows: Milton Puterbaugh was again chosen captain, with Clarence VVilson, Samuel Rubin, Leland Bowen, VValter Brown, jack Schultz, Carl Holder, and Jewell johnson following in the order mentioned. VVith three veterans on the team, one of them having had two years' experience, and with two other members who had had much platform work the prospects for a successful season were very bright. However a good thing docs not last forever and like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky came bliss Bunton's announcement that she was going to leave us. This made necessary obtaining a new teacher and llliss Baker was employed. As is unnecessary to say, taking up work started by someone else, is not an easy task and on Feb. 26, the day bef-ore the East High debate, the first one of the season, the debaters found themselves to be in a woefully incompetent state. Mr. Wallace, Mr. Hukill and Mr. Bates came to the rescue and in the few hours remaining whipped the debaters into shape so they were able to give a creditable performance in the East High debate. The affirmative team composed of Jake Schultz, Sam Rubin, and Clarence YVilson met the lfast High negative team at East High. Although putting up a strrng argument and fighting till the last ditch the affirmative met defeat to the tune of 2 to I, while at the srme time the negative team, composed of VValter Brown, Leland Bowen, Klilton Puterbaugh, and Jewell Johnson as alternate, met and vanquished the liast High affirmative by the score of 2 to I. The next and last debate of the season came Nlarch 15. This was a triangular debate between llilarshalltown, Cedar Rapids, and VVest Waterloo. West High's affirmative team traveled to Nlarshalltown to meet their negative team and the Cedar Rapids affirmative met our negative here. The West High teams won at both places by scores of 2 to I thereby winning the triangular debate. After the deb-ate at lvlarshalltown we- were shown the best treatment that the High School could give. After a luncheon at the School we went down town where Mr. Bates gave us a grand splurge. Considering the season as a whole ue can say that it has l'een one of the most successful debating seasons West High has ever known. Too much credit can not be given to hlr. Bates who gave much thought and time to the delfate work. C. H. VV., 'I8. Members of the Team illilton Puterbaugh, captain of the negative team, took up his debate work this year, in full keeping with his former reputation, digging to the very bottom of the question, for his constructive argument and rebuttal material, and in each contest presented those arguments, so painstakingly gathered, in a clear, logical, and forceful style, which carried conviction, thus doing much toward winning the decisions awarded his team. Leland Bowen, a newcomer in West High debating work, showed by his clear thinking and quick-witted rebuttal work, some splendid ability which will be a decided asset to West High during the next two years. Walter Brown, though a senior, had not before participated in debate. Never- theless, he developed such form, during the season just past, as to cause regret that he had not, earlier in his course, employed his talents in High School forensics.

Samuel Rubin, who also is not unknown in the argumentative work of West High, conducted himself throughout the grilling material gathering and training period and in the actual clash with his opponents in a manner that brought credit to VVest High as well as to himself and his team. ,lake Schultz, a familiar figure on VVest lligh's platform' with all his accus- tomed pep, drove his constructive arguments home in a convincing manner and throughout the debate was ever on the alert for the weaknesses in his opponents' armour, striking these weaknesses hard, with well thought-out logic, when given his opportunity in rebuttal. SAMUEL RUBIN VIRGINIA WOOLEY REBA KELLY Declarnation Shortly after school opened, active preparation was made by the new dI'amatic instructor, llliss Florence Baker, for the 1917-IS declaniatory season. Unusual interest was shown this year and a large number of candidates had visions of their ahility :Is Daniel VVebsters, Bernhardts, and U'Connells. Un a date set in November, the tryouts we 'e held to decide the representatives of the school in the Triangular Declamatory Contest. Reba Kelly led Il big field in Dramatics, Virgfnia VVoolley was again awarded first place in the Huniorous class, and Sam Rubin won first in Uratory. The one big event of the Declamatory season was the contest between lfast Vvaterloo, West VVaterloo, and Cedar Falls, and was held in the East High auditorium. Although WVest Iligh did not win, we made a creditable showing and had the honor of receiving a unanimous decision for first - W -- - place in the Humorous class, through the excellent efforts of Virginia Wfcolley, who-se hearers made a Charlie Chaplin audience look like a funeral congregation. llliss Wrrolley should he congratulated on her wonderful declamatory ability. 'lihough but a Sophomore, she has twice won first place in her class in the annual contest. Virginia will be a valuabe member of next yearls team.

The girls, feeling that they needed parliamentary practice as Well as the boys, decided to organize a club which would be devoted to the study of parliamentary law. Nliss Baker kindly consented to direct the work and through her interest and the interest of the upper class girls the club was started on its road to fame. The first meeting was held Klonday, February 18, IQI8, in which the club was organized. The election of officers resulted as follows: Chairman ......... Clara Belle VVilson Referee. ................. Bliss Baker Vice-Chairman ........ Frances lldiller Chairman of Program Committee. . Clerk .......... Katherine lNlcCartney ................ .Joye VVoodruff Critic .................. Belle Hanna Inside Guard .......... Cleone Harker During the year we were especially fortunate in our program committees. Our programs were Well planned and well given. One of our topics for a program was Russia. In this meeting Russia was discussed from the viewpoints of literature, art, and politics. At this meeting Helen Cowles furnished some Russian music which was very much appreciated. The debate topics ranged from questions of politics to the wearing of hats. Our last meeting was held April 9, IQI8. This was a joint meeting of the Cyclrne and Hericane clubs. The program was prepared by a joint committee and both clubs were called upon equally. The chairman of the Hericane took charge of the business meeting and a representative of the Cyclone acted as chairman of the parlia- mentary practice. Our meetings, which were held every lllonday evening, were well attended. During the year we enrolled seventy-six members. These were mostly from the Senior and Junior classes, although the Sophomore class was well represented. We feel very Well satisfied with the work accomplished this year and hope and expect this Work to be carried out with even greater success next year. VVe hope to hear of the name' and fame of the Hericane club in future years as an established department in VVest High. C. B .VV., yI9. Eighty-eight Cyclone Club Soon after Christmas vacation the boys of the High School began inquiring. NVhen is the Cyclone going to start ?'l A committee spoke to llr. VVallace about the matter and he advised starting it if enough boys would pledge themselves to attend the meetings and support the club. VVhen the first meeting was held in January about forty boys were present which was a sufficient guarantee of success, so an organization was effected and the Board of Governors got busy lining up programs.. About ten meetings were held with good attendance until the daylight saving law and the warm evenings began to lure our future orators from the forum to the field. lt has been noticed that the fact the Hericane Club met the same evenings as the Cyclone Club brought out several people in both clubs who were not in the habit of studying parliamentary law. As a whole the attendance was very satis- factory, averaging over forty to the meeting. At different times during the term of meetings lllilton Puterbaugh, YValter Brown, and Spaulding llliller held the office of prezident. The work which the Cyclone has done is demonstrated by the fact that all of this yearls debaters were members of the club and those of the boys who lay claim to any ability to speak in public have gained their ability from the Cyclone. It seemed that more boys this year were looking forward to being president of the U. S. than ever before, and they wanted training in this line. The training the Cyclone gives will certainly help anyone in after life becaufe it gives the ability to speak clearly in public and to hold the hearer's attention. Also a good knowledge of parliamentary law is one of the most useful things a person can acquire. The year's Work was ended with a joint meeting of the Hericane and Cyclone clubs, which meeting was a demonstration of the work both clubs have been able to accomplish. Muchof the success of the work this year was due to Mr. Sherrill and Nlr. Bates who gave much of their time and thought to the club. VVe wish all the success possible to the club in the future. Hay it last as long as the school lasts, getting better every year. C. H. VV. 'I8. Eighty-nine 4 Girls, Hi-Y Club The Girls lli-Yi Club had its first meeting early in September and elected the following officers: ' Vice-President .... llflildred Court Secretary ........... Ruth Ganz President ....... . . .Lucile Hekel Treasurer .... Elizabeth Forrester As soon as the officers were installed and the work for the year was started, a large party was held for the Freshmen girls, which was a great success. As could be expected, the Freshmen Were shy and bashful but after much coaxing began to smile and join in the numerous amusements. At Thanksgiving the girls sent jelly and jam to the cantonments and at Christmas made candy bags for the Social VVel- fare League, but much to our disappointment we didnlt have a chance to fill them. Delegates were sent to a High School Girls' Convention at Ames, who brought back helpful and inspiring reports. The girls lately have been doing Red Cross work, the boys buying the material needed. At the beginning of the second term a party was given for the eighth grade pupils in order that we girls might more easily become acquainted with the coming Freshmen. At different times in the year we have enjoyed talks by many prominent people. Our closing event was a Mother and Daughter banquet, the first of its kind in the city and it is 'hoped that it will become an annual affair. The officers for the coming year are: President ....... ..... R uth Ganz Secretary. . . .... Jean Hosteter Vice-President. . ..Dorothy Jenks Treasurer. ...... Dorothy Lumry All together We have had a very successful year but We hope that next year We may do even more than We have this year. MILDRED COURT, ,IQ. Ninety Boys' Hi-Y Club ' Due to certain unsettled conditions, the Boys' Hi-Y did not hold meetings until llecemher. These meetings were held every Tuesday noon until the month of Klarch. A new plan was followed this year in the time and manner of holding the regular meetings. Formerly the meetings were held in the evening and all the classes were together. Linder the plan worked out l'y the officers in con- iunction with Klr. Hersch, the Boys' lVork Secretary, who very ahly assisted in the success of the meetings, every Tuesday noon the hoys went directly to the Y. Nl. C. A. when school was dismissed, where they enjoyed an appetixing meal rerved for twenty cents. The cluh memhers then divided up according to classes each class having its own teacher. The classes then went into separate rooms where they enjoyed Hihle Study or other things of interest to high school hoys. The officers for the year were as follows: President ..Clarence XVilson Secretary .. ...... Glen Nlastin Vice President . ..l5ernice Hiller Treasurer ..Kenneth Peterson Une of the features of the cluh this year was a contest with the Hi-Y cluh of lfast lliggh. This contest was hased on niemhership and attendance and the win- ners were to he the guests at a social provided hy the losers. VVhen the contest was over and the percentage tallied up it was found that Iiast High was in the lead hy only a few points. The lVest High cluh, wishing to do its duty, put on a well arranged social in the gymnasium of the Y. KI. C. A. The students of hoth the high schools were invited to attend the social. Games furnished the amusement for the evening, after which refreslnnents were served. The Hi-Y cluh closed its meetings with a Father and Son Banquet held at the lfirst KI. lf. church. Ahout two hundred fathers and sons were present to enjoy the fine hanquet and the splendid time afterwards provided hy the enter- tainment committee.Although handicapped hy a late start the memhers of the Boys, lli-y feel that the time they spent at the meetings was profitahle, and hope that it may he continued with just as much or more enthusiasm next year. li. hl. Ninety-one Delphian' Society Ever since the Delphian Society was organized, which was in the year IOII, it has been very prosperous and this year has been no exception. The first year of our existence we had only 43 members, while this year we have a membership of 66. VVC have representatives in almost every branch of activity which VVest High supports. YVC Were well represented in athletics this year, especially in foot-ball, by Simpson, Nlathews, Hitchens, Powers, Cole, Horsey, Holder, and Fentiman. 'We were also represented in Declamatory and Debate. This year a new office of Reporterl' has been created in our society, as well as in every other society, whose business it is to report the different meetings of the society. VVe have also worked especially hard on Parliamentary Practice this year, and I am sure every one has been greatly benefited by it. The officers at the beginning of this year wereas follows: President ...... .. .Ruth Luinry Critic ...... hlilton Puterbaugh Vice President . ..LeWis Powers Illustrator .. .... Floyd Selensky Secretary ...... .Theot Buzzard Reporter .... ..... P aul Johnson We, as a society, are mighty proud of the large number of boys from the Del- pxhian Society who have answered the countryls call. lylany of them are over in France, giving everything that they have to their country. Below, is a list which includes all the boys who have been in the Delphian Society at some time since it was organized: Paul Simpson Charles Teeter VVesley Case Herbert' hffathews Clarence Nlyers VVilliam Cotter Harold Fentiman Keith Buechele Glenn lVlcDowell Ernest Henderson Richard Bennett Nlilo Nliller Williziin Bennett R. L., '18, Ninety-two Forum Society As the Forum was a place of note in the Roman life, so the Forum Society is if place of the zmlwl in our day and age. The literary society of VVest High, known rs said famed and renowned Forum, although not the largest, has certainly had 11 very successful year. The reasons for the success of our society are really so many we will not enu- merate them here, but will pass on to the main features of the past year. 'lille fall term opened September 28, 1917, and, all the regular work being disposed of, such as instructing the new members as to the conduct expected and re- quired by our goodly company, the following people were elected to be the officers President ....,....... XValter Brown Senior Critic .... ..... S am Rubin Yice-l'resfdent . . ..Robert Noonan lllustrator . . . .Jewell Johnson Secretary ............ ,loye VVoodruff Reporter ....... .Russell Stevens Ar the first meeting of the new term, the ones chosen to guide the destinies of our society were: President .... .. .-lames Gardiner Senior Critic . .. .VValter Brown Vice-l'resident . . . . Maxine Thompson Illustrator . . .Jewell johnson Secretary ............. Lucille Dillon Reporter ....... .Aloye VVoodruff At the suggestion of our new Public Speaking teacher, Kliss Baker, the presi- dent chose two people to act with the yice-president as a program committee. The two named were Mary VVatkins and Cecil Gorman, and their efforts in assuming the responsibilities placed upon them have been appreciated by all in the society. Members cf our society have participated in football, basketball, track, debate, and declamation. VVe are also proud to state that many of our former nrembers are now in the service of lfncle Sam. There are many members with ability left to carry on the work next year and the departing Seniors wish all the members the greatest possible success in all the undertakings of the society. NI I NV, ,IS Ninety-three Washington Irving Society This society has had, this past year, one of the most successful years in its entire history. Six' meetings have been 'held and each one was as enjoyable as it was instructiye. Although our instructor, bliss liunton, left us in the middle of the year, bliss Baker came to the rescue and they work was carried on as before. The greatest number of interesting programs has been given by this society this year that it hazy probably ever known. The members of the society are energetic and ambitious so we decided to give a few more people a chance to work. Kathryn KlcCartney has the honor of being the first reporter of the society and as a result of her work We always had a good report of the meetings in the Spectator. VVe also instructed the president to appoint a connnittee of three to arrange the programs for the meetings and Klark Neshit was made chairman with two capable helpers, Yvonne Barton and Dorothy l,umry. The programs which this committee made out were certainly new and well planned and the impromptu program which all enjoyed deserves special men- tion. Two sets of officers were elected during the year and under the direction oi this last group, the annual Patriotic Program was presented. President .............

Omega Society I, the Omega Society, being the newest and by the way the best Ca-heml of the fem' societies of NVest High, do hereby demand a page in this honorable year book to tell of my wondrous career. Some tin1e during the year 1915 the need of a new society was felt at NVest Iligh because in Kliss Zartman's room on Friday afternoons each chair was forced to accommodate about six persons. Thus I came into existence. This year has been an especially interesting one. During its course, my mem- bers have had the honor of giving two public programs. 'lihey also gave an enter- taining performance called Si Slocum's Country Store which every one enjoyed. Of course it isn't nice to boast, but among my illustrious members are Jake Schultz, the Spectator manager, Belle Hanna, the actrefr, Clarence NVilson, the de- bater. our little declamatory star, Virginia VVoolley, and many others. So it is no wonder that the parliamentary practice which generally follows each program was lively. September 9 our first meeting was held at which the following officers were elected: President ..... . . ,Bernice Miller Critic .... . .. . .Naomi Broell Vice-President .. ...... Belle Hanna Illustrator .. . .Caroline Xlunn Secretary .......... Virginia VVoolley Reporter ........ . .Norma xlennish On December 14, it was decided to transfer the great honors to hlilton NVar- ner, Spaulding Xliller, Ruth Ueitz, Belle Hanna, Caroline Xlunn, and Norma Jen- nish respectively. VVe regret the loss of our president, Xlilton VVarner, who is now serving Uncle Sam in the Navy and it is needless to say that we are very proud of him. livery year l count over my senior memlwers and wander how we can exist without their guiding presence and this next year the absence of the members in the Class of ,Ig will be keenly felt but l sincerely assure them that my more youthful followers will do their best to keep up the name which the Seniors helped to establish.

A ' There were twenty-four members in the chorus this year and at the annual meet- ing for organization, the following officers were elected: President, Helen Cowlesg Vice-President, -loye XVoodruff1 Secretary and Treasurer, Yvonne Bartong Librarian, Katherine Klclfartneyg Pianist, lfyelyn XViegand. Ar this time the members made a rule that the following year, it would be necessary for each new member to have had a yearls training in the Second Philomel before they could be admitted to the First llhilemel. Although the Chorus will lo.e ten of its irembers, the ranks will lie filled next year from the Second Philomel. . According to custom, the Annual Philomel Picnic Supper was held at the school Xlarfxli 17. The Heats were wonderful and everybody felt like a whole note, as they climbed the stairs to the third floor, where they tripped the light fantastic until a few minutes before nine, then most of the members disappeared and it is reported that they enjoyed the Plaza. Tl,i:z organizaticgn lizs furnished music for almost every public program and the cemmencement exercises. Ifvery girl who sings in the Philccmel for four years receives an extra credit. Two of the girls will receive this credit this year. The Philomel owes its success in large measure to its ever enthusiastic leader, Bliss Sullivan. ' Y. M. B. '18.

Second Philomel Chorus The Second Philomel Chorus has had but one yearys experience for it is a new musical organization in VVest High. The purpose of this organization is to give the girls in the underclasses training in chorus work to prepare them to sing in the First Philomel. ln accordance with the new regulations, no girl will be allowed to sing in the First Philomel Chorus who has not had some preliminary training in the Second Philomel. There are no officers this year as the club has not been actually organized. The girls ireet every VVednesday and practice under the direction of Bliss Davis, the Assistant Klusic Supervisor. During the ycar the club has appeared several times and has rendered some truly pleasing numlters at the Public Programs. Next year we trust that the club may be fully organized and we are sure that hefore long the Second Philomel will assume its proper place in the activities of VVest High. C. B. VV.'19. One I I uudred gs 'S- Glee Club At the heginning of the season with eight experienced members, namely: Fred Dehe. Lewis Powers, Floy d Barren, Lloyd Smith, Roscoe Manning, Harry Shaffner, Klilton Puterhaugh, and Donald Cole, the prospects for a successful season were bright indeed. After filling the ranks with these men: Gardiner, Gorman, Bowen, C. Brown, Peterson, XVilharm, Lipkin, Turner, Lamh, Kliss Sullivan started things going. The cluh elected Floyd Barron President and Charles Brown Lihrarian. During the sea- son Lloyd Smith and Roscoe Manning joined the colors, leaving two places to he filled by memhers of the Second Glee Cluh. The Cluli appeared rs a unit at each Public Program and several times with tha Philomel Chorus. It rendered selections on several special occasions and a concert was given with the help of the Philoinel girls at the end of the season. Bliss lfvangeline Powers has very faithfully and efficiently acted as accompanifii and the inemhers are very much indebted to her for her part in the work of the cluh this year. 'Foo much credit cannot he given Miss Sullivan to whom most of the suc- cess of the Ulee Cluh is due. Her buoyancy and good nature have carried the club over the rough spots an-l landed it safely at the end of another year.

Although the orchestra this year has not played at every occasion, the efforts put forth by the mem- bers to perfect the organization was clearly shown by the numbers rendered at the Senior Class Day Exercises. From the number of people applying for membership the following were selected to form the organization for the past year. Bliss Sullivan has been the leader and has selected some splendid music and it is because of her capable leadership that the' orchestra had such a successful year.

Clilmrlra M. Glhapman The first loss of the war came to West High in the announcement of the morning paper on May fifth, that Lieutenant Carl Chapman, class of 1914, an aviator, had fallen with his machine in flames behind the German lines, on the day before. He had gone up on patrol duty and encoun- tered and engaged an enemy machine which also fell. During his West High days Carl was in the midst of all the school activities. A diligent stu- dent, light hearted, clear headed, he excelled both in debate and athletics. His democratic and genial spirit won him many friends. By intuition and practice he always showed himself a gentleman. He left America before the United States en- tered the war, having joined an ambulance unit from Amherst College, and in France changed to aviation. His last brilliant work against the boche is typical of his spirit, and leaves a splendid ex- ample of unselfish patriotism more than worthy of the war cross bestowed by the French government. The Spectator joins in the hope of his friends that the official announcement of missing may possibly mean that the fall did not prove fatal.
