Leila Wassom, Miss Genevieve Wise Typing by classes of Miss Bessie Young Back Once Again After the silence of several months the Spectator comes to you on this last day that the class of 1932 is with us. This publication is not a year book and makes no attempt at being any kind of an- nual, it is only a special edition of the Spectator, and published by the Spectator staff. We plan that the high school paper will make it regularly bi-weekly visits Friday af- ternoon next year, as it has done in the past, and that finances will be in such a condition that the issues may come continuously. To Students Next week will mark the close of another most successful year for West High school. New laurels have been added by our pupils to the already long list of outstanding achieve- ments of our school. An enviable record has been made in both the scholastic and ex- tra-curricular fields, nothwithstanding cer- tain handicaps imposed by the economic con- ditions. A rigid retrenchment of expendi- tures has been practiced resulting in curtail- ment of advantages usually enjoyed by pupils- 'In this connection the splendid spirit of sportsmanship characteristic of West High school student found fine expression. At this time we want to express our sin- cere appreciation to both pupils and teachers for the splendid spirit of co-operation evinced at all times. To our seniors we express all good wishes and the hope that success may be yours in large measure. To all we wish a happy va- cation. CHAS. A. KITTRELL. To the Seniors Today is the last day that about one hun- dred fifty pupils will spend in the regular schedule of duties at West High. We wish to congratulate you, seniors, upon your graduationg yet it is with a bit of sadness that we contemplate your absence from our halls next year. No doubt, in finishing our good school and with your much-coveted diploma, you feel that your hardest work is done. As the word commencement signifies, you are be- ginning not finishingg you are commencing not completing the greater school life. In this life of the great future that is be- fore you, may you always remember the ideals set before you at West High, may you always see before you the motto silently, yet daily taught in every classroom during your high school career-DUTY, HONOR, SERVICE. Executives Executives fill important positions in one and every lineg therefore, executives are im- perative in a smooth working organization such as our school system is at the present time. During the Kittrell-Gibson regime, grad- ually but forcefully, West High has stepped into her own. It was under fine management that we were successful in gaining extremely high honors, the highest to be had, in the State Academic Contest. In various lines, West High worked itself to the top. Music, athletics, individual honors in scholarship make up a small part of its accomplishments. 'Would these be possible under a loosely constructed executive head? Emphatically no! Extensive co-operation of student and faculty has developed-our West High.

WHY WE COME T0 SCHOOL It seems that I'm a Senior now I know the World by heart. I'l1 never have to study more, Because I know I'm smart. Now I've become a Junior, My knowledge is at best, So I'll never have to recitate Or study for a test. Hi, ho, folks! I'm a Sophomore, My green cap days forever o'er. I know all that's to be learned So I won't study, I'll be derned. Ladies and gentlemen, here am I, A nice new Freshman from Junior High. For Old West High let's give four cheers 'Cause we donlt have to study for the next four years.

TH E SPECTATOR 9 West High Trophies Student Assembly Among the important activities sponsored bythe West High Stu- dent Assembly this year in the in- terest of an improved West High citizenship and general school bet- terment are the following: School clean-up campaign, raising the money for a football scoreboard, the establishment of the thought- for-the-day project, and the citi- zenship award. The scholarship committee of Student Assembly, with the aid of the teachers, home room advisers and students, has been successful in promoting a spirit of industry and enthusiasm which has given West High one of the most impos- ing scholarship records it has ever had. The Student Assembly regrets the loss of its present senior A members, Forrest Makinster, presi- dent, Elizabeth Harris, chairman of the social committee, James Gordon, chairman of the citizenship committee, and Dorothy Thompson, all of whom have a record of out- standing accomplishment in the assembly's activities. Elizabeth Harris has the unique distinction of having been a mem- ber of the Student Assembly since its origin in February, 1929. Dur- ing her sophomore year she held the secretaryshipg she was vice- president in her junior year, and this year has served as chairman of the social committee. When the school year began last September, the spirit to win seemed to have been imbued into the West High student body. This spirit is well represented by this noble assemblage of trophies, contibuted to by every department in the school. Not only the track, football, and basketball teams, which have contributed the larger portion, but also the musical or- ganizations, both vocal and in- strumental, Hi-Y, and debate teams have added their share. Magnificent honors, indeed, have been bestowed upon West by her winning these trophies. In addition to this collection, three more awards were won by West athletes at Ames, Saturday, May 21, but they were acquired too late to be photographed with these. The tennis team and the track team acquired the three additional prizes. Debate The debate teams for 1931-32 have had a successful year for West High. The question for dis- cussion this year was: Resolved that the several states should en- act legislation for compulsory un- employment insurancef' In this West High was represented by Wells Barnett, Art Waterbury, Eleanor Stoddard, Donita Smith, Ruth Sutherland, Marian Barker, Bob Gibson, and Bob Slifsgard. They won from Cedar Falls High, Teachers' High, Cedar Falls, Dubu- que, Clinton, Roosevelt High, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, and Decorah, losing to Clinton, Dubuque, Mason City, Iowa City, and Maxwell. In the Round Robin Debates held at Cedar Falls, West High won first in its district, but was eliminated in the semi-finals by Dubuque. In the 1932-1938 the debates will be either on: Resolved that a sale's tax should be enacted, or Resolved that at least forty per cent of the state and local taxes should come from some source other than tangible property. There will be five from this year's team available for first semester r year and four available for of the year. There will also 3 a regular debate class similar to the one this year. 10 THE SPECTAT OR Declamatory Although West High's twelve declamatory entrants for this year did not win the silver cup in the quadrangular series of contests, as did their predecessors of 1931, dramatic ability seldom seen in high school students was displayed. The results of these quadrangular contests were as follows: Dramatic Alice Bellinger, winner of first place at home contest, first felimi- nated because of overtimejg Jean Garner, winner of second place at home contest, second, Marian-Ban ker, winner of third place at home contest, first, and Helen Louise Bernbrock, winner of fourth place at home contest, second.

At the first round of the state contest, West's representatives, Russell Fergason, Alice Bellinger and Betty Lichty, received second, first and fourth places, respec- tively. This contest was held at the Dike High School, Wednesday evening, February 24. When the following contest in the state series was held at Shell Rock, Wednesday evening, March 9, Waterloo swept away major honors, as its only two entrants, Kathleen Adams, representing-East High, and Alice Bellinger, repre- senting West High, won two unan- imous firsts in the humorous' and dramatic divisions, respectively. The other first, in the oratorical division, was won by Ora Harvey of Hampton. After receiving another first at Nashua, Alice Bellinger was de- feated at the district contest held at Maquoketa.

West High opened the season with a Mississippi Valley confer- ence meet at Iowa City, and fail- ed to look impressive, placing in but a few events. On April 2, at the state indoor meet at Iowa City, West placed second, Fairfield, last year's state champions, nosing the Wahawks out by one and one-half points. The two-thirds mile relay team composed of Scott, Clark, Moore, and Schuck took first place, and the medley mile relay team placed third. Schuck, quarter miler, won first in his heat, Clark finishing third in the 60 yard low hurdles. West High next defeated Dubu- que in a dual meet on April 9th by a score of '75 to 56. Slifsgard, crack West High sprinter, won both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Scott, Schuck, and Moore placed one, two, and three in the 440 yard dash.

At the Drake Relays on April 30th, West High's one-half mile relay team competing with teams from surrounding states placed third, first, and second places CContinued on page 121 Football During the 1931 football season at West High, Coach Gordon Meeter, assisted by Coach Glen Strobridge, produced a better than average football team, which won all but two of the games on the season's schedule and displayed a brilliant brand of football. West also gained a coveted place in the Mississippi Valley Conference, a circuit of schools which includes Grant and Washington of Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Iowa City, Dave- enport and Clinton.

On May 7th at the Interscho- lastic Meet West High competed with 17 of the strongest teams in Iowa at Grinnell. With but 8 men competing, the Wahawks scored 28 points to win the meet. The 100 and 220 yard dashes were won by Slifsgard, West High sprinter. Clark and Schuck took second places in the 120 yard high hur- dles and 440 yard dash. Scott placed third in his heat of the 440 and Clark placed third in the 220 yard low hurdles. Second place in the javelin Went to Kloster. The one-half mile relay team, compos- ed of Scott, Moore, Clark, and Slifsgard, cinched the meet by nosing out Dubuque and shattering the 25-year-old meet record in this event. Those members of the squad not competing met East High on the Old Rose track, the Wahawks win- ning this affair. On May 13th VVest High track- sters placed second in the District meet at Cedar Falls.

The records show that the team won 21 games and lost only two. Albert Lea, Minn., administered to them the first de- feat, Dec. 29, 1931, at Albert Lea, by a score of 31 to 13. The team then went undefeated until the finals of the district tournament, only to be beaten then by Washing- ton High of Cedar Rapids by a score of 29 to 24. The team started slowly, it man- aged to eke out two pretty slim victories over Orange Township and Cedar Falls by means of some very good basket shooting by vPaul Grange, the young freshman star. Then, starting with Vinton, West began to hit its stride, and Vinton, La Porte City and Washington High were polished off in a period of five days' time. The defeat of Washington High of Cedar Rapids by a score of 29 to 21 was out- standing. Coach Strobridge used his substitutes most of the last quarter of this game. The next victory of importance was over Estherville, Principal W. W. Gibson's old school, where West defeated them 27 to 23 in a highly exciting finish with Illian starring. He accounted for 14 points that game. Double victories over the old rivals, Mason City, Charles City and East Waterloo, were all particularly pleasing. West's de- feat of Mason City twice seemed to prove the fact that the local team had a better ball team than they did. Mason City, however, went to the state tournament, while we did not. In the sectional tournament held at West High, West won three games, defeating Clarksville, Teachers College High and Jesup in three consecutive nights to win the tournament. On the all-sec- tional team West placed three men -Rugg at forward, Illian at cen- ter and Kloster at guard. 'In the district tournament, held at Waverly the week following the sectional, West won the first two games from opponents of the high- est calibre. Next the West team defeated Waverly, one of the best teams in Northeastern Iowa, by a score of 31 to 19, and then went on to administer to Dubuque, one of the strongest teams in the state and undefeated until then, a 20 to Front Row: Captain Rugg, Fridley, Camp, Schuck, Illian.

Then, pretty well worn out by these two hard games, the team dropped the final play-off to a scrappy, fighting Washington High of Cedar Rapids team by a score of 29 to 24. - Delancey Schuck, by means of his wonderful fighting spirit and ability, earned for himself a place on the all-district team. Bob Klos- ter also earned a place and was given the honorary title of captain of this team, his work being out- standing in every phase of the game. Later on in the year, Jack North, sports editor of-the Des Moines Register, honored Wayne Illian and Gordon Camp by giving them places on the third and fourth all-state teams. Dick Rugg was also given honorable mention by North. Letters were given at the end of the season to the following play- ers: Capt. Dick Rugg, Wayne Illian, Bob Kloster, Wm. Delancey Schuck, Gordon Camp, Vaylord Fridley and, last but not least, the freshman star, Paul fTarzanJ Grange. To earn a letter one had to play in one-fourth of all the games. Of the prospects for next year, Lyle Wagoner, Elmer Bratton, Vir- gil Jackson, Virgil Swem, Willard Wahl, Don Peterson, Jerry and Red Nipper, Ronald Wachtler, Dave Misner, Miloh Murrah and George Dutcher seem to have the best chance at present. Bob Kloster and Paul fTarzanJ Grange are let- ter men returning. West High has entered the Mis- sissippi Valley Conference next year, and has one of the most diffi- cult schedules, which is as follows: Nov. 23-Orange Township, here. Nov. 25-Tentative. Dec. 2--Teachers College High, here. Dec. 9-Clinton, there. Dec. 16-Washington High, Ce- dar Rapids, here. Dec. 23-East Waterloo, there. Dec 30-Iowa City, there. Jan. 6-Dubuque, there.

SIBERT'S WHITE LAUNDRY BEST WISHES 211-215 East Sixth St. Girls' Sports Forward March. Thus the An- nual Gym Demonstration of West High began April 8, in West High auditorium. Over three hundred and fifty girls participated in marching, tumbling, and pyramids. Dances, modern and old fashioned, showed ease and grace of rhythm, and were enjoyed immensely by all. Rendezvous was exquisitely interpretated by Katherine Gal- lagher, Lydia Cole, and Dorothy Jane Dinsmore. On the Side Walks of New York, a tap dance, brought great applause to Helen Gross and Mary McCall, who gave a fine characterization of two street urchins. A wedding was performed for the Painted Doll, Corrinne Hutch- inson, and the Bridegroom, Jean Garner in a background of Fol- lies' girls and Mother-goose char- acters. As the curtain fell on the last dance the audience felt that they had once more witnessed a very successful Gym Demonstration.

During the course of the year two new guns were received from the War Department, making a total of four loaned the club by the gov- ernment. This year about 26,000 rounds of ammunition were fired. At graduation the riiie team will lose Bill Sampson,For1-est Makin- ster, Don Durchenwald, Clark Ben- nett and Bob La Rue.

The number of failures is comparatively low considering other high schools' records. Home Room 9, a sophomore girls' room, is the most outstanding in its scholarship record. There are a certain few members of the high school that have been on the honor roll for each period. In oth- er words, they have attained the requirements of at least three A's and one B. Among those consist- antly noticed on the honor roll are Billy Fort and Ruth Suther- land, both seniors. In preparing scholarship reports, there are a few interesting facts to be noted. For instance, the number of boys in a home room is comparable to the number of fail- ures in that home room. Another interesting fact is that the first week of a period the failures are relatively low, but during the next three and even four weeks, the number of failure goes up. But the last week the pupils make a recovery and improve greatly. The scholarship committee, ad- vised by Miss Dorothy Wilson, wants to congratulate the student body as a whole on their co-op- eration in making this a red let- ter year in scholarship. Florence Blough and Delaney Schuck at the commencement ex- ercises are to be awarded two of West High's most coveted prizes, the Citizenship awards. A committee of fourteen com- posed of the citizenship committee of the Student Assembly, the ex- ecutive committee of the Student Assembly, together with Principal W. W. Gibson, Mr. C. C. Duns- moor, Miss Mabel Heller and four other teachers acting as advisors, chose Florence Blough and Delancy Schuck as the best girl and boy citizens in West High. The chart of qualifications by which these two students were judged contains the following four main requisites-character, service, leadership, and scholarship. Quill and Scroll The seniors this year to be giv- en membership in the international honorary journalistic society are Helen Louise Bernbrock, Jean Gar- ner Wm. Fort, and Erwin Sias. Erwin Sias also has the journal- listic distinction of .having twice won awards in international con- tests sponsored by Quill and Scroll, his first award was on a feature story submitted by him, and the second for an editorial on depression. Howard Hauserman also won distinction for a copy entered in a Quill and Scroll contest.

Florence Blough Dramatics On October 23 the curtain went up on the first act of the dramatic season when the all-school play, Nothing But the Truth, by James Montgomery, was produced. This comedy of errors was very effec- tively portrayed by Ross Randall and Marjorie Parlow in the lead- ing roles, ably assisted by Ray Strayer and Jeanne Ogle. The second act took the form of a mystery, when on Febrary 12 the Marionettes' play, In the Next Room, by Eleanor Robeson and Harriet Ford, was presented. The plot, concerning the wiles of a criminal, was well carried out by Erwin Sias, Celia Kronberg, Fred Wimber and Forrest Makinster taking the important roles. The climax was reached on March 18 when the Junior play, Miss Lulu Bett, by Zona Gale, a comedy with a touch of pathos, was presented. Don Short and Marian Barker in the leading roles, and Mary Penly, Kathryn Mak and Helen Gross successfully carried out the plot dealing with a woman in her thirties who had never mar- ried. The curtain closed on the fourth and last act of the dramatic sea- son when a beautiful play, Chil- dren of the Moon, by Martin Fla- vin, was presented by the Senior class on May 20. This tragedy, full of life and beauty, was well enacted by Elizabeth Harris and Fred Wimber in the leading roles. 16 THE SPECTATOR Vocations The junior high school principals, Miss Ruth 'Updegraff and Mr. Charles A. Hoffman, co-operating with the guidance department, have started the practice of sending letters to the parents of 8A stu- dents as an aid in registration. The letter explains the four cur- ricula offered in the high school, suggests courses which should be taken in ninth grade and senior high school, and invites the parents to confer with the principal and home room adviser regarding the pupil's work. This arrangement will assure a carefully planned high school education adapted to the vocational interests and needs of the student. Sixty-two of the 72 12A boys availed themselves of the Rotary interview service this year. Seven of the ten who did not sign up have already decided upon their vocations. Fifty-nine of the '71 12A girls availed themselves of the Business and Professional Women's club in- terviews. Only two of those not signing up for interviews are still undecided as to a vocation. Betty Potter, vice-president of Home Room 213, presented an un- usual home room discussion on various means of earning money while attending Iowa University. She based her material on a recent pamphlet issued by the university. Members of Miss Bessie Young's stenography class and a few other graduating senior girls interested in stenography or secretarial work visited business offices on Tuesday, May 17, a group of nine going to Black's Department Store and nine to the Penn Mutual Insurance Company. Sixteen visited Rath's offices on Thursday, May 19. Home Room 5 conducted several mock interviews of applicants for the position of stenographer, sales- man and saleslady, pointing out both the desirable and undersiable traits. A faculty member chose the best of the iinal interviews and 'told why. Max Hughes, he came, he saw, but Houndered. It was his soul's own slaying, When the French horn papa gave him, Maxy learned the art of playing. Mid-Year Prom The place-Hotel President. The time-Jan. 23, 1932. The event-West High's annual mid-year Junior-Senior prom. Approximately 100 couples at- tended the mid-year Junior-Senior prom this year. The dance Hoor was a riot of contrasting colors- the boys, in their dark suits, mak- ing a good background for the colorful winter sport dresses of the girls as the couples danced to the music of Bob Schnieder and his orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Dunsmoor, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Strobridge, Miss Nona Timm, Miss Ruby Patterson, Miss Eva Adams, Mr. Palmer Low- ry, Mr. Donald Holt and Mr. Ralph Logan chaperoned the dance. Oh, Art Van Doren, may his tribe decease, Will leave West High, Oh! once more peace. We hope that we don't say it wrong, But why did you have to stay so long? We wish to extend our most sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 1932 and hope that each of you will achieve success, happiness and prosperity.

At the state contest West High was able to capture two first place awards. A first was won by the reed sextette, composed of Arlene Bentz, Elmer Bickford, Roger Wolfe, Paul Loomis, Mar- jorie Seaburn, and Don Penlygthe brass sextette, whose members in- clude George Jenny, Sterling Myers, Don Penly, La Moyne Schrader, Marjorie Seaburn, and Max Hughes, also ranked first. The band received second place and the orchestra fifth. Individual honors went to Ar- lene Bentz, who won second place in the bassoon solo group, and Fred Bates, whose oboe solo took fourth place. In the district contest, Philomel and Boys' Glee club took first place. The band and orchestra won first in the district, while Arlene Bentz received first place with a bassoon solo, and Fred Bates re- ceived another first place with an oboe solo. Operetta The operetta, Chimes of Nor- mandy, presented by West High school's Philomel and Boys' Glee Club under the direction of Miss Naneen Davis and Mr. Ralph Logan, was one of the most color- ful and picturesque events of the year. The plot involved the love af- fair of Germanie, the Lost Mar- chioness, gracefully portrayed by Mary Renk, and Henri, Marquis of Corneville, characterized by Bob Sarset. Other outstanding parts were of the miser presented by Ross Ran- dall, the Bailli by Bob Slifsgaardg and Serpolette by Zada Corbin. Irene Rugtiv, Millicent Lucht, Celia Kronberg, Jean Rohlf, Art Van Doren, Cecil Scott, Gerald Scott, and Jack Estel were also characters contributing to the plot. The chorus with their bright colored costumes formed an ap- propriate background for the light opera. It's Jeanie now has dawn, I feel so sad 'at I tood twi, I hope 'at she is dood to Jack, And a'ways will be feewin high. V State.-Champ Dick Rugg, the state tennis champion of last year, easily cap- tured the state singles champion- ship again, Saturday, May 21, at the state high school tennis tour- nament held at Ames. Rugg scored eight points as in- dividual honors and at no time allowed any player to win from him more than three games in a set. In the singles Rugg defeated Brown of Ames, 6-1, 6-03 and in turn he defeated Hutton of Ames, who had won from Westis second man, Huffman, 6-2, 10-8. Extemp. Speaking An activity of which West may well be proud is her extempora- neous speaking. During the last year West entered in only three contests, but came out on top in two of them. In the local contest, in which 12 students competed, Wells Barnett, sophomore, was the victor. He spoke on Hoover's Cures for the Depression. West sent six students to the dis- trict contest, where Wells was again winner, this time speaking on the Lindbergh Kidnapping Case. Four members were sent to the state contest, where Wells spoke on Suggestive Platforms for a Possible Third Party. Banking H On the whole, school banking has maintained a satisfactory condition throughout the school year. Our average was only a few points be- low last year, in spite of hard times and depression. The bank failure had little or no effect on school banking. Home Rooms 9, 5, 12, 203 and 109 have consistently banked 100 per cent, very seldom going below. The sophomore class had the poorest record, with the juniors between the seniors and sophomores. The average for the year for Home Room 9 was 99 per cent, Home Room 5, 98 per centg Home Room 12, 98 per cent. Home Room 203, 99.8 per cent, and Home Room 109, 99.8 per cent, tied for first place in school. The year's average for the entire school was 86 per cent. The highest percent- age was on Nov. 17, 94 per cent, the lowest percentage was on May 11, 81 per cent. Every student has a bank book, and an average of 575 pupils bank regularly each week. ..

Now that an introduction is off our chests, we present without fur- ther comment, a part of our proph- ecy in all faith and good humor. 1. We see a manly figure, rather pathetic in ways, as he walks along the street in shuf- steps, selling rustproof hair Alas, 'tis but true, Captain fling pin. Rugg is out in the business world. 2. While high up in a nearby office structure, a heavily built man with a satisfactory front porch beneath his coat puffs laz- ily on a clear Havana and rests his feet on a polished walnut desk. Righto! It's our friend the broker, Howard Jacobsen. fOn the quiet. he whispers a hot tip to his old classmates, Iron Sponge is good now comes before us. She wears a blue dress and hat with a red band. Yes, it is the garb of an old Salvation Army lady. She has gray hair and large black eyes. Yes, it is none other than our old classmate, Geraldine Bickley, Jim is standing on the corner playing the drum. 4. A loud noise of machine guns is heard. We look around and a bullet goes flying through the top of our hats. It's two-gun Rubin, whom we formerly called Dave. 5. A tall slender blonde woman in a beautiful flowing chiffon gown is now seen walking madly around her cleverly designed apart- ment, trying to think of a new design. It is Corinne Hutchison now a prominent New York cos- tume designer. 6. A tall dark-haired woman and man are now seen getting in- to their good old Model T. They are followed by three small child- Tom Allen. Mrs. Allen was form- erly Miss Georgeanna Northey, our classmate of West High. 7. The attraction at McVicker's in Chicago this evening is a VVordly Woman starring Miss Elizabeth Kane. Miss Kane is in private life Miss Betty Kenyon. 8. Our beloved classmate, Ster- ling Myers, is now a gigolo in the Drake Hotel in Chicago. 9. We now see a long line of rattling old Model T Fords with Phillips 66 pasted all over them At the head of the long procession comes old friend Jack Brinkman who has gone in for collecting the old antique relics now. 10.

A study of Roman life and customs has been made. Short talks, book reviews, debates, and plays con- tributed by the members have con- stituted the entertainment at the meetings. Picnics and parties have provided varied entertainment during the year. On Friday evening, May 13, the Foreign Language Clubs' ban- quet was held, this included all students of French, Spanish and third and fourth year Latin classes. Club officers include Billy Fort, president, Celia Kronberg, vice- president, and Elizabeth Harris, secretary. Commercial West High Commercial Club, under supervision of Mr. Earl Tre- giligus and Miss Geneva Colony, has had a variety of programs. An instructive trip through the Telephone Company and Rath's packing plant by a few of the members were two of the main events of the year. Monday, May 16, a picnic was held in honor of next year's members. Wednesday, May 11, new officers for next year were elected. Those receiving offices were Lyle Wag- oner, president, and Lorene Fish, vice-president. Other vacancies will be filled at the beginning of next semester. W Club Under the capable leadership of Bill Sampson as President, De- lancy Schuck, Vice President, and Sadie Sorenson as Secretary- Treasurer, the first club for win- ners of major athletic letters at West High was initiated last fall. Because this is the first year of the organization, the club did not accomplish any striking deed, but furnished a good time and excel- lent fellowship for its members. The club held meetings every third Friday at noon in the Cafe- teria for its business meeting, and held social meetings once a month in the gym. Basketball games were played, a tournament being conducted at each social meeting. C lub s i ai Le Circle Francais The French club started the school year with Jvone Lowrie as president, Jean Garner, vice-presi- dentg Sterling Myers, secretary, and Verl Sturgis, treasurer. Their meetings, held once a month during class periods, consisted of plays, talks on French institutions, cus- toms and provinces. At one of the meetings Verl Sturgis, Jean Garner and Jane Harned modeled what the young man wears for evening, sports and golf. Dorothy Thompson was the style, creator, and Jvonne Lowrie supplied the music. Not to be out- done, the boys gave a style show at the Language Club banquet. Sterling Meyers, Ted Perrin and Burton Pierson were charming models of what the young girl wears. Two social meetings were held, one a potluck at Ted Perrin's, and the other a skating party and pot- luck at Verl Sturgis' home. The officers for the second se- mester are Geraldine Bickley,-pres- identgGladys Bruce, vice president, and Jvone Lowrie, secretary. Friendship The Friendship Girls are about to close another delightful and use- ful year. The meetings, each first and third Tuesday of the month, have been both useful and inter- esting. The Service Committee has sent cards to the girls in West High who were absent because of ill- ness, gifts to those in the hospital, and bought lovely and useful gifts for needy girls at Christmas. The club participated in Girl Reserve conventions and Pat's So- ciety Circus, in which they pro- vided a gypsy dance and a band. Exchange of jewelry with India was projected by Friendship Club. A Mother-Daughter banquet was given last fall. May 18 the ad- visors were entertained by the cabinet at a picnic. El Clrculo Espanol The work of the Spanish de- partment has consisted of reading various books on Spain, Cuba, and South America. Every two weeks a program is given by each club consisting of reports, musical numbers, games, puzzles, and dis- cussions of La Luz , the Spanish paper to which they subscribe. The Spanish, French, and Latin clubs held a joint banquet Friday evening, May 13th at Black's Tea Room. To carry out the theater idea toasts on previews, features, and comedies were given by the presidents of each respective de- partment. For vaudeville stunts, each club staged an act repre- senting their country-a bull fight was staged by the Spanish de- partment, a fashion show by the French club, and a chariot race by the Latin department. Fine Arts Drama, Music, Art and Travel were some of the interesting and varied programs Fine Arts' Club enjoyed this year under the ster- ling leadership of Beverly Hesse, president, Georgiana Northey, vice president, Jvone Lowrie, sec- retary, and Betty Kronberg, treas- urer. Mrs. W. R. Cole gave a delight- ful talk on her travels in China and on claisanne pottery. An ar- tistic garden was planned for the club by Mrs. G. W. Wood in hope that they might take more inter- est in beautifying their laws and gardens in the future. Hi-Y A basketball championship, a bob-sled party, and interesting programs are the chief events of the year for Hi-Y. Dick Rugg, Dick Young, Fred Bates, and Don Penly were the officers responsible for the suc- cess of the club. Next year's officers are: presi- dent, Dick Young, vice president, Bob Gibsong and secretary-treas- urer, Charles West. A room in the new Y. M. C. A. building will be turned over to ,the Hi-Y next year. 20 THE SPECTATOR Class Prophecy fContinued from page 181 Kay Barton Sias aren't a regular Min and Andy, because they really are in love they inform us. 13. You remember Ellen Hauge, don't you? VVell, she and Burton Pierson finally came to the part- ing of the ways. Remember it was kind of love at first sight at West High. 14. The sound of loud drums and moaning saxaphones greets our ears. The strains of a rythmic piece from a modern jazz band break forth. A mellow melan- choly voice is heard. Our old friend Helen Louis Bernbrock is a hostess in a New York night club. 15. You've heard of the famous Barrymore profile. The Barry- more profile is no more-for an- other has now taken its place. Forrest Makinster has taken over the throne in Movieland formerly occupied by John Barrymore. 16. You remember Don Penly- well, he once had high and mighty ambitions-but-they soon fell. He is now a street cleaner on the streets of Topeka, Kansas. He hopes some day to become head of the department. Good luck to you, Don! 17. Our poor old classmate Janet Troup has not fared so well. As we chanced to be won- dering through Hotel Astor the other day we found Janet dili- gently scrubbing floors. 18. You've heard of Ben Ber- nie, but you haven't heard any- thing until you've heard Freddie 'fMaestro Bates over XYZ chain and station NUT every Wednesday at 8:00 P. M. 19. You've heard of ten cents a dance girls, but you didn't think that We had any of them in our class, did you? Our old class- mate Ruth Sutherland has now be- come a Ten cents a dance, that's all they pay me. -and you know the rest. 20. You've no doubt heard Fred Wimber state that he wished to work in a hotel. His dreams have been realized, for Freddie is not only a full-fledged bell-hop, but he now has charge of all the other bell-hops. Incidentally he wears brass buttons and everything. 21. You remember that Eleanore Stoddard was always fond of Kansas Cityg we don't remember just why. She's now private sec- retary to Mr. Martin Bartling, Jr. He wonders how she ever got to know him. 22. Betty Potter is no longer a Potter but a Ridihalgh. Funny, she never seemed to go much for Ridihalghs when she was in high school. 23. Delancy Schuck is now seen as the owner of a huge mansion which is surrounded by miniature caterpillar tractors. He always did have a caterpillar craze. 24. Florence Blough is now a toe dancer in the East and is real- ly a second Pavlowa. She got her start from Miss Ruby Patterson, at one time gym instructor at dear old West High. 25. Billy Sampson finally be- came a salmon fisher. It seems he used to be called 'fsalmon and fish when he was a wee lad, but we never thought that he'd take it to heart. This is only a fragment of all those that we saw, but as our time and space is limited we are sorry that we can divulge to you only this fragment of the class proph- ecy of the June class of 1932.

This furniture includes doz- ens of book cases, tables for typ- ing classes, science tables, counters for the offices, and the West High library. As a climax to Mr. Jen- sen's accomplishments his classes are now building a house, English type, on the corner of Denver and Williston streets. During the last two years Mr. Jensen has had charge of the Unit, Trade woodwork, which course has been organized under the Smith- Hughes Act. Mr. Jensen has the distinction of having served the community the longest of any man now employed. The community and the school as a whole are much indebted to Mr. Jensen for his many years of faithful service, and it is the sincere wish of all who know him that happiness and good fortune will always be his.
