THE SPECTATOR 19 Inter Nos Regular meetings of the Inter Nos Latin club have been held each month during the school year. 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.

18 TH E SPECTAT OR Class Prophecy It is with mingled emotions and deepest feelings of sorrow, regret and patos, along with joy- ous anticipation and some justifi- able pride that we are able to predict the dimly seen future and lift the veil which enshrouds it. 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. Jane and Art are happily UD married and are conducting a studio of music and dancing. Art teaches the fahrandole lessons while Jane is a maestro at bagpipe. 11.

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.
