From the time of 54-40 or Fight to The Skin You Love to Touch , the aim has been to wrap all emotions in a compact bit of phraseology-in short, to sloganize. West has followed the trend, but there is no spirit, no motto, no creed, that surpasses The Spirit of West That Knows No Better? The very name-Westvis symbolic of the spirit so preeminent here, it figura- tively suggests bravery and resourcefulness, individualism and rugged- ness. To the newcomer, the geniality and the good humor of the West faculty and students are novel, to the present members, West breathes an essence of home-of courtesy, good-fellowship, and attainment, to the alumni, the remembrance of the helpful, yet happy and carefree hours passed within its walls recreates the old Fight, you Cowboys Fight! spirit, and life becomes more vigorous. The manner in which the activity tickets are consumed by the en- thusiastic student body is indicative of eager loyalty to the school. The pulse of West beats with its athletic encounters and throbs with victory. May the pulse of West throb forever! This is your Annual. You have made it by your actions, your voiced opinions, and your attempts at being studious. The greater part of the book is, of course, composed of your interpreted actions and opin- ions, the third component being such a novel rarity as to render it practically nil for all literary purposes. The making of a year-book re- quires diligent research into what makes high-school students students, and if there be anything left out of this, the 1936 Yearbook, please forgive us, it must have been a deep, dark secret. We have tried to deviate from the routine make-up and have this Westward Ho warm and personal and a part of you-in short, to make it the type of Annual that down deep in your heart you can be proud of.-The Editor E .

AMES STUART MOTHERWELL was a gentleman of the old school and a scholar in the true classical sense. A man with many sides to his character, a lover of solitude among his cases of cherished books, and yet a man who possessed that rare gift of companionship, which endears his memory to all his friends. A far traveler was Mr. Motherwell, returning every second year to his homeland, his beloved Scotland, for 'tis true that he liked to be, as he used to quote, with the bonnie blythe blink o' my ain fireside . We of West remember him like the happy wayfarer of old, going back and forth to school with his little black bag always with him, which, like the older scrip, was filled with-whimsies perhaps, philosophy of course, and a vast treasure of kindliness and consideration for others. Mr. Motherwell was ever a keen observer of life in the class- room, where to receive a nickname was to receive a personal estimate, on the annual senior picnic day, where he watched the games with genuine interest far beyond that of a mere specta- tor. Ya dinna do sae badlyv was high praise for a dusty con- testant on the field. At the senior promenade, of which he was ever the genial host, his special greeting given each couple placed many a boy and girl at their -ease, thus causing that evening to remain one long to be remembered. Mr. Motherwell could look beyond the surface into the heart, and for all he held an old-world courtesy, an unsurpassed toler- ance of life itself. Through the troubled, confused present he walked with unfaltering dignity and poise. He knew how to keep the great things great and the small things small. More and more as the years pass will his words of kindly wisdom, his wealth of allusions return to us, and together we shall take up the cup of kindness whicl. he filled for auld lang syne. In the words of his well loved Virgil, Meminisse juvabit we are glad to remember James Stuart Motherwell, a gentleman and a scholar. AVE ATQUE VALE!

Many of the instructors had traveled, studied, rested, and some had ac- complished much. Among the latter is Mrs. Amanda Lopez Knecht, the dark-eyed Spanish, teacher. She had an unusual, an epoch-marking' day-Coronado Day-for the City of Denver.

The Chev- rolet that replaced, in their affections, the old Dodge was not such ia combination of ancient history, but it would never provoke larceny, hence, there was no necessityzof extra expenditure for theft insurance.

Once more over the halls of West hangs that in- tangible thing, that feeling of happy friend- liness, of joy that is combined with the de- termination to, win. Bright and clear arrives September the fourth. Boys and girls flock to one building. The girls hurry ing but note, however, a lagging on the part of some of the boys. Within the building is an unmis- takable roar and a peculiar congestion near the entrance. The mass of struggling, shout- ing pupils is around the bulletin board, the world's most popular place for the first two days. - Where,s my home room?', roars a senior. Let me find mine firstln comes from an anxious sophomore. Out of the way, freshie! You've got to make room for the juniors. Then a future member of the Annual Board listens in on a conversation between two well-known senior Lotharios: Say, Red, did you see the keen number in the office? Net yet, Bill, but I'm on my way. I need a new girl now that mine has fallen for the new music teacher. A bell is heard, then a rumble, more like the famous Thundering Herd than a group of students going to their respective home rooms. Come, let us look in on this scene. We behold awe-stricken freshmen, cocky sophomores, quiet juniors, and mighty seniors. We see perspiring teachers with hopeless expressions on their faces. Sign here, sign there, sign everywherelv Lavender cards, yellow cards, long per- forated white cards, little papers, big papers are-passed out by students volunteering af- fably. CThey're working for a stand-inlj With the exhortation to return the cards Or you will be listed as delinquentv, and with the clang of another bell, the rumble again begins, the pupils are going to first hour. This continues throughout the morn- ing. Near noon the final card has been checked in, the girls have given the once over on all the boys, the older Cowboys have spied around for new football material, and the teachers re- lax. The opening day of school is over. Throughout the week many adjust- ments have to be madev for students l20l THE R who find out a subject will require them to study, or who wish to be in a class with a certain girl or boy. But on the whole, West students desire courses that will be of ben- efit to them either financially or in prepara- tion for college. The next exciting moment of the new school year is the assembly. The seniors, in View of their prestige are seated on the stage. In the front row are the new teach- ers and Herb and Kay , the newly chos- en round-up bosses for the coming se- mester. This is the beginning of their many assembly speechesg they assure everyone of the hospitable spirit of West and herald the beginning of new interests and new friend- ships. Oh boy, the first dance or social hour! This is the time when loves begin to bud, hands start being held, and gossiping tongues loosen.

What a mon- ey-saving joy it is that some students study music, are generous with their time and abil- ity, and have the physical endurance to play for all the dances. Big horns, little horns, saxes, drums, and piano make the hours hot for the gang, who make themselves hot by all kinds of queer and lovely movements. Some dancers require and take all the floor in their cavorting and running full speed aheadg others lazily dawdle in a spot three WHAT PLEASURE . . . does a dance orchestra derive from a social hour?

All events of this merry life will be investigated and disclosed throughout the pages of this Annual. W YOU PUT YOUR . . . left foot out, the arm goes round and round. Ho- ho-ho-ho-ho! ' Q 5.- ,, The Administration GSGOOD morning! Ever since the new building of West has been in use, this has been the customary greeting to all teachers and to those students coming early tothe office. The words come from Mr. Harry V. Kepner, the principal. He is a young-old man, kind and fatherly, always worrying about his exuberant herd, always cheerful, always right. He is an alumnus of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity and has his M.A. degree from Har- vard and a Doctor's degree from Colorado State Teachers College. In addition to his school work here, he is president of the Board of Trustees of the educational col- leges at Greeley and Gunnison, a member of the Secret 400 Chemists, a thirty-third degree Mason, a member of the Lion's Club, a great traveler, and a successful business man. Because of his versatility and his note- worthy achievements he is in the Whois Who of the United States. For the past eighteen years Mr. Kepner's energy has been directed to the improving of West. The school building, the faculty, the subjects in theircurriculum-everything has increased four-fold. The thousands of young lives his influence has stimulated tes- tify now, and will testify forever, to his in- trinsic worth. The major portion of the contacts with the pupils is made by Mr. Clark H. Stone, the assistant principal, and Mrs. Hildegarde Sweet, the dean of girls. 'Tm going to the office means, generally, a conference with one or the other of the above. l Miscreants will never forget the sentences pronounced by the dapper Mr. Stone, who fusses them often with the question, Well, what can I do you for? A thousand-word essay on good citizen- ship will help clear the air. Sit on the bench and ponder on your conduct. Four times around the race track will impress upon you not to run in the halls. Mr. Stone received his A.B. and M.A. de- grees from the University of Denver and has studied at California. Be- fore coming to West, he was principal at Wheatridge High School. His keen sense of hu- mor and quaint stories make him one of the best beloved disciplinarians in the city. Mrs. Hildegarde S. Sweet came from Scott High School, Toledo, Ohio. She was grad- uated from Michigan Uni- versity and received her M.A. from Columbia University in the Teachers College. She is as distinctive in her appear- ance as in her poise and her just decisions. Her knowledge l23l 24 1936 VVESTNVARD HO of the interruptions in the work of the secre- tary and her clerks.

No, Mary is not here today! What? She should he! W0'll check again and let you know. At the counter, reading sundry ex- cuses, some of which are accepted, others are not, early each morning stands Miss Alice Luckey, the at- tendance clerk. Filing of records is her par- ticular hobbyg seven times a day she accu- mulates reports on the whereabouts of the two thousand West- erners. When an A.W.O.L. is discov- ered, the bench is soon occupied for several hours. Luckey rosewood polishers!

The bewildered freshman stammered, Huh? Whad'ya mean, course? I mean, are you going to college? or do you wish to enter the trade school? or-just what work would you like to follow? J! And thus freshie is inaugurated into the maze of school activity, from which he is graduated a finished product four years later--perhaps. It is almost imperative that a student en- tering high school know first his professional inclination, and second, the college, if pos- sible, that he desires to attend. To enable further the student to choose his subjects carefully, eight trained counselors have been appointed to confer with him and to guide him to ultimate success and happiness. West High School offers two predomin- ently important courses: the general and the college entrance, in addition to diplomas from these, students may receive certifi- cates from the Trade School and for special achievement in commercial work. In order to carry college work success- fully, a student should maintain at least a B average, in fact, many colleges have de- clined to accept any student whose scholastic rating places him in the lower third of his class. The Colorado requirements for nurses, as well as those of a number of colleges, defi- nitely bar anyone who has a D on his rec- ord. Every student is required to complete two majors before graduation, these consist of three years of English and the same number of social science. The English offers courses in literature, composition, public speaking, and dramaticsg the social science, commun- ity problems, World and American history, modern problems in government, and world relations. Since these subjects are required of all students, the teachers in these departments far outnumber the others. To vitalize these classes in English, teach- ers sponsor several activities. S I ,Ni .m. , 26 1 . X THE CURRICULUM 27 Miss DORIS COLEMAN, the first-and very popular, too-exchange teacher ever at West High School, was born in Buxted, England. She -attended high school in that historical city, St. Albans, rich in traditions, which was named after the Norman Cathedral begun in 1076 on the site of the an- cient Roman villa, Verulamin, and dedicated to St. Al- bans. She received her B.A. degree at the U. R. A., Uni- versity of London, then later she took S a teachers training g course at Oxford. She majored in modern languages. Prior to her ex- change, Miss Col- man taught at Altrincham High School in Cheshire, a school composed entirely of girls. Miss Vera Thompson of West High is now filling Miss Coleman's position there. Chief among the characteristics of Miss Coleman are joviality and the spirit of ad- venture, both greatly influenced by the quest for knowledge. In Europe, Miss Coleman has traveled much, and her walking tours in Germany with stops at the Youth Hostels, her trip to Oberammagau with her light- weight tent on her back, her mountain ex- periences in the Alps, and her canoeing through the land of the beautiful blue Danube have been a source of much inter- est to the pupils of West High. MISS DORIS COLEMAN -' Now she has purchased a car, and at every opportunity she takes a jolly interesting trip through the surrounding country, into New Mexico where for the first time she has seen Indians. She has visited the pueb- los and reservations, and watched the tribal and religious dancesi of the native Americans. On her return to her home- land she expects to go by the way of California and the ' Panama canal, stop- ping at New Or- leans to see the ne- gro in his regular southern home. Among the little things that the stu- dents have learned from Miss Coleman are the varieties in colloquialisms. It was noted that the English slang- ster compared quite favorably with the American word-wrestler, and to facilitate relations the following phrases are interpreted: , English American To flunk Hood of automobile Pull a boner Gum the works Plow under Bonnet Drop a brick Pull a bloomer To Miss Coleman we, the students of West High School, offer our felicitations for a future quite as cheerful as is Miss Doris Colman herself. a Cheerio!

Some of these are intramural and others are inter-school activities sponsored by public-minded citizens. The first one of the 1935-1936 year was the Robert W. Speer Essay Contest. Any student under eighteen years of age could enter and write on the character and life of Robert W. Speer, one of Denver's progressive mayors. Dorothy Brose has been the winner of two twenty-dollar prizes. Her first one was for an essay on the impression she received from a display of all kinds of electrical conven- iences for the home. Her second prize was for the best Speer paper, at this rate she,s apt to pay income tax her senior year. In future years Dorothy may become a Willa Cather of a Dorothy Canfield. Who knows! Lucille Chase, a Pen Rambler, won the second prize in the Sons of Revolution Con- test of 1936. Last year Lucille tried for recognition in the literary field, she failed by such a narrow margin that her teachers advised her to read the works of some recog- nized stylists in literature. She read all sum- mer long, and reward came to her. Hats off to Lucille! She has the true West spirit. SHAFROTH CONTEST The Shafroth Contest was established in 1923 by acceptance of the following gift from the Honorable John F. Shafroth: Washington, D. C., January 3, 1921. The plan for public speaking contests among stu- dents of the high schools of Denver is entirely sat- isfactory. I shall purchase a Government Bond tomorrow and have it registered in the name of the Board of Education. Each year now, a girl and a boy from each of the live Denver high schools are chosen to compete. Sixty current topics are selected as follows: twenty from the field of local interests, twenty from the field of national interests, and twenty from the field of in- ternational interests. Two topics from each Held are written on a slip of paper: thus v- -W - 1- - THE CURR there are six topics on each of the ten slips. No two slips bear duplicate topics. Contestants met at seven o'clock in West High School and each drew one slip. After an hour of deliberation and preparation, each one presented a seven-minute speech on his chosen topic. Ethel Belsha and Gordon Butler represented West at the contest. The Wfest orchestra furnished the music for the school. This contest in extempore speaking is the most difficult one engaged in by this school or by any of the other high schools because - our 'Www' -v - - Q Q ICULUM 31 no outside help or consultation can be ob- tained. Each speaker has to be sufficient unto himself. THE DEBATE CLUB THE chances are .02 of 171 that you are a member of the Debate Club. This particular club is, without a doubt, one of the smallest clubs in West High School. At the beginning of the year there was a fairly large attendance, but with the delay of tak- ing pictures for the Annual and the im- pending work necessary to participate in de- bating, the slackers and deadbeats dropped out. It is to be acknowledged that some were forced to resign because of an over-crowded program, but in too many cases the fear of actual work surpassed the desire for public- ity, and the club finally resolved itself to a total of less than six members. Working with Miss Julia Daly, the few remaining members have done their best to revive the spirit of intelligent disputation, and-West still has a Debate Club. The subjects debated this year were on State Medicine and The Supreme Court. The oflicers of the club are Gordon But- ler, president, Birda Tuckett, secretary. 4 , WU 'vt' 32 1936 WESTWARD HO KEPNER EFFECTIVE SPEECH AWARD WITH the discontinuation of the Wm. Dwight Meade Medal this year, a do- nation was made for a similar award on the condition that the medal be known as the H. V. Kepner Effective Speech Award. The contestants were: Marcia Milliken, Ruby Brady, Bill Yockey, Albert Gorman, and Herbert McCarthy. Herbert was unani- mously selected as victor, and in addition to receiving a gold medal, he represent- ed West at the in- ter-school Kiwanis Contest. The sub- ject on which all ' competitors spoke was, How Can American Y o u t h Foster the Pioneer Spirit in the face of Increasing World-Wide Pater- nalism?', Rober t H a h n presided at the pre- liminary contest in i West. PEN RAMBLERS GGWFIOEVER told me I could writeln zish-sh-sh, and another crushed bit of scribbled paper found itself in the waste basket. Yet it's through just such dis- couragements that the Pen Ramblers came into existence. First as Junto, then the Creative Writing Club, and now under the present name the embryonic authors of West banded together under the guidance of Miss Emily Marrs, have written plays, poems, essays, and stories, and have entered successfully into competitive contests. The youthful writers composed a book of their various compositions, which they ex- hibited at the N.E.A. convention last July, this year they displayed another compiled from the best selections from the members of the past three years, it was called West Ink Trailsf, just before the Thanksgiving vacation the club put on a play written in Betty Fowler and Margaret Kline, two members, at the assembly period. It was aasatire on the pres- ent way of observing the once almost sacred Thanksgiving celebration. The officers of the club are: Betty Fowler, president, Edna Pickell and Lorraine Boddy, vice-presidents, Jean Steele, treasurer, and Virgil Rose, manager. MMM, W .

Well, who in the Ccensoredj pulled that curtain? Ah, woe is me! You mugs have cut the big love scene between fthe editor re- ceived two theater passes to omit Young- kin,s namej the hero and the heroine. And there you have a back-stage view of the stage-craft out of commission, which doesn't happen very often. The Stage Craft Club is sponsored, di- rected, and censored by Miss Lois Griffey, dramatic teacher. She keeps the boys in sus- pense until the first play is a success and then invites nine of the group to become mem- bers of the club. Apparently one requisite for membership is that you first become a specimen,' for the make-up division of the dramatic class. One little gurgle when some- one puts mascara on your ruby lips or rouge on your nose, and-out you go! The nine boys who are smiled upon by Fate and Miss While the boys are working, be plays chop sticks on the piano Griffey to become members of the very es- sential club are responsible for all the stage settings, light and sound effects, and scen- ery.

Those who have attended the plays andien- 34 1936 WESTXVARD Ho joyed the benefits of back-stage cooperation feel that the Stage Craft Club should be lauded for its hard, incessant, and fine work. The officers of the club are Clayton Bru- ner, president, Robert Allison, assistant manager, Clark Paylow, secretary. THE MASQUERADERS IF a daring young pupil of West desires to display his or her histrionic ability, that brave young person endeavors to join the Dramatic Club-Masqueraders to you. He must memorize ten lines written by a man named Shakespeare, stand before a crit- ical jury of old members, and expound-or is it stammer or stutter4his selection ac- companied by the knocking of his knees and the audible thumping of his heart. If the aspirant did not have a nervous breakdown, he is allowed to become a member after a week of slavery. The club gives one play a year and parti- cipates in all the others. When not prancing around on the stage, the actors study stage design, scenery, lighting effects, costuming, and make-up.

INTERNATIONAL Fuji , Y RELATIONS . 5 CLUB MRS. FRANCES MooRE originated and still sponsors the club with a long name, which is an outgrowth of the once active Clio Club, the love of the former Miss Carrie Hopkins. People with brains join this club, and they are real- ly interested and take a viral interest in world affairs. During the year several very traveled and 5. Y' fs-i X.

This is open to contestants from all the states of the United States, and the winner gets a free trip to Geneva with all expenses paid. The contest is an examination on the text and operation of the League of Nations and re- quires several hours to answer the questions.

Some go because they enjoy reading, others because they must. Many hate the confusion of study halls, others hope for a chance to hold hands un- der the tables. The latter usually return to study halls with month-prohibitive slips in their hands instead of what they hoped for. Not everyone loves a lover, especially the puppy-love variety. As it is, an average of five hundred young people use the library each day to enjoy the 8370 books there. Miss Edna Gustafson and Mrs. Florence Foltz aid all comers upstairs, while shy Miss Ada Bright, the clerk, hides away in the dark, cold triangle called 204. In addition to the above librarians there is a staff of girls who assist in checking the students' slips, in marking and stamping new books, and in running errands, of which there are a goodly number. These girls are Sylvia Boscoe, Arloa Bun- nell, Mildred Cooper, Bernice Dion, Sonya Flodin, Lorraine Hansen, Bernice Haulrnan, Ardyce Hendrickson, Barbara Inniss, Imo- gene Reinke, Mary Rice, Edra M E Schrumpf, Ina Blean, and Lucille Mitchell. The average valuation of the books is two dollars apiece, and about one thousand new books are added-each year. A math pupil might try to Hgure just how long it would be so full of literature that students could not enter. That time will never come so long as many West students are still unappreciative of the taxpayers' money. Last year ninety-seven library books and thirty-nine classroom library volumes were stolen, three hundred were so roughly treated that they had to be rebound. This is not all the vandalism. Many Eng- lish teachers augment the classroom collec- tions with their own copies, of these some 1 THE CURRICULUM 37 few walk away with stu- ' ' ' ' dents or have pictures torn out by smart Alecsf' Without any warning, locker inspec- tion is called now and then, and around four hundred books - some long missing-are salv- aged. Would char everyone knew how to play fair! Surely some interpret the motto The Spirit of West', as it Knows no Better than to steal. MINORS HE second requisite in the curriculum is two minors, subjects that are pursued for two years, representing a total of diver- sified studies. The minors may be tabulated under six headings. First under this group- ing, by virtue of semester hours offered, comes mathematics. Here are offered four semesters of algebra, three of geometry, trignometry, two of practical math, busi- ness arithmetic, and shop math for those in the industrial courses. One club offers diver- sion from the regular type of instruction. MATH CLUB GGARE you wise, wiser, or wisest? If you are wise, you'll hand your name into room 309. If you are wiser, you'll join the Math Club. The wisest will be at the meet- ing Tuesday, Gctober I. Thus ran the bulletin. Now look at the picture and see the wisest people in the school. They came to learn the manipula- tion of the slide rule. Slide rule? Slide rule! Babies play with it by the hour, sages treas- ure it. Far be it from the Annual Board to tell what goes on in 309 where Mr. Lewis Fergus explains to the pupils and faculty fthis is one club they joinj this intricate phase of mathematics. Suppose you become a member next year. The oflicers of the club are: Elbert Lewis, president, Orville Brelsford, vice-president, Vivian Raines, secretary, Miss Demetrius , Z' was A .13 x Q 0 jx i. f V Y -V --nw T as a 193.

Offered here are astronomy, geology, and radio-all without laboratory instruction- chemistry, biology, and physics, with ex- periments in laboratories. Fostered by this group is the Nature Club and the very ac- tive and important Camera Club. CAMERA CLUB THE temperature hovers slightly above freezing, Mr. Shirley Taylor, with his aide, George Cooper, shivers in the cold morning air. Pictures are being made. Remember the mornings when you dashed to school at the ghastly hour of eight o'clock in order that your pictures might be taken for the Annual? This year has been particularly trying to all cowhands because pictures have been snapped at every place Cno spot has been se- cluded enough to be sacredj and at all times. If you don't believe it, just take one little peep at this book, and you can see for your- self. The Camera Club has been the offend- er, but the ample collection of pictures in the Yearbook happily compensates for all the inconveniences and blushes. With one of the finest cameras money can buy, and with excellent equipment for de- veloping, printing, and enlarging pictures, the members of the club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Shirley Taylor, the instructor in chemistry, learn the rudiments and the fine points of photography. Every member of the club acquires not only an enjoyable hobby, but also has a potential course of in- come, for pictures, both still and moving, Q.-f' V ,.-- .,'. -.- . ,.

To the cooperation of the Camera Club the students of West High School owe thanks for the largest collection of snaps ever printed in any Westward Ho. The officers are: Robert Bosco, president, Keith Euler, vice-president, and Pete Fran- gos, secretary. NATURE CLUB GGTHE ciony pig is doing very Well, thank you. Nip QTuck diedj is the name of the cony pig, and he is used, along with White rats, PICTURES . . . tell tales none can denyg they show people as they are. goldfish, rabbits, and plants, for experimen- tal purposes by the Nature Club. The sole interest of this diligent group's meeting as a home room is to furnish an out- let for constructive experimentation in var- ious hobbies. Diets, cross-pollination, genet- ics, and the habits of both land and aquatic life are observed by the members, most of whom are former biology students. T T A very enlightening bit of research was performed with a snake and a rat to deter- mine the stronger.

The rat had proved his superior prowess by devouring the major portion of the natural foe of all ratkind. Some taxidermy is taught, but the law of live and let live' is strong, and speci- mens are few. Many have dreamed of mounting a big bull moose or a Kodiak bear, but-there is a fine collection of little chlor- s oformed butterflies on display! The officers of the club are: Patricia Kelly, presidentg jerry Lahr, vice-president, and Jack Hamilton, secretary. FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN the field of foreign languages Spanish takes first place. Here eight semesters of the subject are offered. In West High there are over a hundred students of Spanish- American and Mexican extraction. Most of the people intending to enter college elect THE CURRICULUM 41 Latin and finish with the 7 regular eight semesters if 6 3 the language does not Hnish them. French is again growing in popularity with six semesters given in that field. No German has been taught since the depression as the number desiring it has not been the required forty to make a class. Once there were clubs in all the languages but Latin, now the French Club is all that is left. THE FRENCH CLUB !, ParleZ-vous francais? Oui, oui, je parle francais je le parle tres pauvre.', Such noises venture out of 243 every Wednesday morning, and they originate from a group of early-risers who are inter- ested in the informal use of French in songs, plays, games, cross-word puzzles, and corre- spondence with students in France. This club has survived the depression, and the members are becoming the very best of pals , maybe it,s because it has no officious oificers. Then, too, there's the candy! What wwwh,,,,., mam M -real candy? If you wish to know about that, take French, join the club, and find out for yourself. Miss Louise Starr Peck has succeeded not only in maintaining interest in, but also in stimulating, the study of one of the most aristocratic languages, if not the most, the world has ever known. The western section of this land goes very solidly for the study of Spanish since the proximity of Mexico enables students of that country's language to have immediate practice in its use. Nev- ertheless French holds its own in spite of the fact it is seldom, if ever, heard spoken by any real Frenchmen. ma vhs-, s 42 1936 WESTWARD I-IO Oflicers of the club are Helen Boothroyd, president, and Sophia Athens, secretary. HOME ECONOMICS ANOTHER popular series of subjects from which a minor may be chosen is those ofthe Home Economics group. This department consists of two divisions, sew- ing and cooking. In the sewing branch, in- struction is given .in dress appreciation, clothing construction, personal appearance, and costuming. In addition to the regular class work, the students make all the cos- tumes 'for the many plays and the operetta given during the year. Mrs. Josephine Bar- tosch also aids valuably in the work of the Needlework Guild by cutting out all the garments to such an advantage that many more are obtained from the materials pur- chased. No one knows the mending that is done daily in 106. Every girl who gets a run in her stocking stops her work to run to 106 or 108 to stop the run. Boys chase down for buttons, girls, for hooks or eyes? both hie to first floor for all rips and tears. In the cooking branch, instruction is giv- en in dinner cookery, feeding the family fand themselves with all they prepareb, meal planning, and applied economics for boys. It is really interesting to know how many boys do take the courses especially de- signed for them. In ad- dition to cooking, they learn to darn their own socks, budget their in- comes, and the art of be- ing good husbands and fathers. Why shouln't they? Even Amelia Ear- hart advises, through the newspapers, that all men should learn to cook, and in this depression women have been able, 1 in many instances, to obtain positions when men havenitg therefore many men have been forced to do housework. What does Mr. Putnam do while Amelia flies around the world? Une boy said that the reason he was taking cooking was that he intended to marry a good stenog- rapher. The world is changing rapidly at present, and everyone should be prepared for emergencies. Cooking is not all taught in this department, the alphabet of vita- mins is really mas- tered hereg bud- geting the family income is made possible, all the THE CURRICULUM 43 niceties, correctness, and charm of serving, outing, and living are acquired Cwould they were always practicedj in the ec classes. COMMERCIAL SUBJECTS THE constant tap-tap-tap--tap in the lower hall northeast makes one cogni- zant of the fact that typewriters are busy helping produce the future business men and stenographers of the City of Denver. If you doubt this statement, look at the voca- tions of the seniors in this issue of the An- nual. Business training is a particularly out- standing field of endeavor in that it pro- vides possibility for direct placement for an income in this money-mad world. In the commercial courses there are offered sub- jects that ind immediate usage in the busi- Tviwi- '- P 44 1936 WESTWARD HO ness ofhce, such as two semesters of junior business training, four semesters of short- hand and two of transcription, three of bookkeeping, one each of commercial law, salesmanship, business arithmetic, and com- mercial geography, and three of typewrit- ing. There is a regular sequence of these sub- jects that pupils may follow, and if they do well, show a congenial personality, and pre- sent a neat and pleasing personal appearance, they receive commercial certihcates, which are similar to diplomas. Throughout the year competitive speed tests are taken in typewriting and stenography, the victors in which are awarded medals. 1 Because of the close proximity of employ- ment to the subjects taught in this depart- ment, there is felt no immediate need for clubs, yet if there were any, they would be so overcrouded that little could be ac- complished. About half the two thousand students enrolled take some or all of the courses offered in business, and the once ac- tive Commercial Club 'was unwieldly when there were about half the number of boys and girls attending the school, therefore, what would it be now? THE CURRICULUM 45 MUSIC 66 HAT are those frightful noises com- ing from back of the stage?', asked a visitor being shown through West, at the same time a panicky student banged shut the doors of 223. Ah, that's the kids practicin'.,' And sure enough, noises consisting of squeaks, squawks, blasts, toots, and rumbles were coming from the future Rudy Vallees and Ben Bernies, although some of them did sound mighty like Jack Benny's Love in Bloom , nevertheless, there are still miracles in this modern World, for harmony, lovely harmony, develops from just such begin- nings. Never in the history has the music been so outstanding as it has been this year. Mr. J. Warren Turner, the sole director for sev- eral years, has had such heavy Work that he gave up the orchestral branch to Mr. Nor- ton C. B. Trustman, a young man full of vitality and-music. In a miraculously short time there Was a band, a real one, that officiated at pep rallies and football games. and players! The drums boomed and the trumpets blared the eleven on to victory. It is the hope of every person in West that next year this deserving organization -may have natty, colorful uniforms. There are now two orchestras, the senior and junior, playing at most of the evening gatherings of the school, and in many of the assemblies. Soloists from the organizations give frequently and cheerfully of their en- joyable talents. Here it would add much to the appearance of performers if uniforms could be obtained. Musicians the school will love to remem- ber are che trumpeters Rudy Borga, Jimmie Van Nostrand, John Leavitt, Leonard Faullg IW hat an inspiration it was to the ' ists John and Frank Burg, the trom- 46 1936 WESTWARD HO Who will have uniforms next year? The band! Who?,' THE BAND! bonist Earl Payne, and Bob Younkin, the drummer with the handsome face and tan- talizing eyes. In the voice department are two big chor- uses, known as the girls' and boys, glee clubs, and an A Capella Choir. The latter is new at West and gives promise to become a group of which the school will feel justly proud. It needs, too, the customary robes to make it impressive. Lessons in voice are given by 'Mr. J. War- ren Turner, who is himself a talented per- former, to aspiring students, many of whom take leads in the annual operetta, the one big public performance of the music depart- ment. The appreciation of music is also taught by Mr. Turner, by taking this course, pupils learn to understand and, hence, enjoy the compositions of great com- posers. The slogan of this class should be Farewell to Jazz. OPERETTA GGTHE Count and the Coedn, the annual song-and-dance fest handled by our producers par excellence, Mr. Warren Tur- ner, Mrs. Mabel Randall, and Miss Lois Grif- fey, was happily of a more appealing nature this year than were its two Spanish prede- cessors. With scarcely a complete rehearsal, and with the operetta to be produced within the week, wild-eyed students gathered at least partly in costume for the all-important dress rehearsal. Running overtime and defy- ing the attempts of the best technicians to chronicle the tempus in quo, the momen- tous event proved a nightmare to the prac- tical minded, and a merry-making occasion for the performers. And then the night came! Their lost poise miraculously regained and their hopeful audience complete, the per- formers had nothing left but to come to scratchf' And how tlfc? d' 'tl The Count, played by rv'lle'Qrels d, really laid 'em out on t 'be r ed by t e swe sing- ing th o Ra o .Why so bashful, ' g1nia?QFr 'ots created by the smart y f otor c p, Elwood Kirkpatrick, wh yell- igh stole the show by making tense situations and by cleverly singing and' motioning himself out of them, to the love dreams cherished by Lee Mcllvain and Magdalena Gonzalez, the op- eretta was an unusually popular success. ff' LA' K .,vf'k , u , . ,. . .1 THE CURRICULUM ' .'s?,xfvf x 47 fi f j Qf,v,c'vxXr.v.,vk The orchestra, making its debut in oper- atic accompaniment, is to be highly com- mended for the quality and accomplishment displayed on the occasion.

Lovely dancers delightfully entertained the au- dience with some very artistic dances with Ethel Belsha as leader. The costumes this year were particularly attractiveg they Were made by the girls in the costume class of the home economics department, and many of them Were designed by Myrtle Chestnut. X BOYS TAKE A LESSON . . . from the girls above. Double your number for next year. Ag, 48 1936 WESTWARD HO ART HE art department has three divisions: mechanical drawing, painting and drawing, and clay modeling. Boys dominate the mechanical drawing classes because they are to become the drafts- men and engineers of tomorrow, yet once in a while a girl has courage enough to enter this holy of holies, to sit on a high stool, and to make blueprints and designs-not on the boys, though. This department also works in conjunc- tion with the Trade School. The blueprints used for the machine and wood courses are made in-the mechanical drawing classes. In the freehand drawing and painting di- visions the lovely, refining, cultural phases of life are particularly emphasized. There are classes in art for the home, art appre- ciation, and commercial art. The pupils, never to mention the teacher, in the com- mercial art classes are outrageously imposed upon by every person, every organization, and every undertaking in West High. We must have oodles of posters!,' The art department will make our place cards! Let's et the art de artment to do the 8 P decoratinglv The masks can be made in the art de- partment! ' Miss Longan will do the advertising! Such are the comments made daily in every part of the building, and, strange as it seems C pardon the slip, Mr. Ripleyj, the art department does everything it is asked to do and more also. Remember the election of head boy and girl, how the halls were filled with signs and placards. Never was it e I ui THE CURRICULUM 49 so overworked as at the i time when everybody was preparing for the N. E. A. But that's past history now. Clay muddling is somewhat new in the school, and almost every student thinks he must get a hand or two in this grown-up mud-pie making. Just look at the results! Many times during the year most at- tractive articles are on display: book-ends, vases busts, incense burners, l and the long row of death masks-all testify to the many busy young teacher has something to do with the hours spent in 317. Maybe the interesting popularity of the course. V FINE ARTS CLUB NCE upon a time the fine art depart- ment had an active, promising clubg but rumor has it that since the meetings are before school, the club mem- bers have taken to late sleeping and come strag- gling in at all times- some never do even the straggling. This club is the origi- nator of the art exhibit in room 314. Here is a large collection of re- productions of famous ' aiu , 3. 50 paintings. The first con- tributions to the exhibit were presented by Miss Elizabeth Spaldingg they are Wood blocks, The Omen by Edith Trues- dale and Mr. Donald Baer, an alumnus of West, and The Loopf' also by Miss Truesdale. The president of the club is Carl Hinkle, and Miss Rosemary Longan is its sponsor. 1936 WESTWARD HO THEY DECORATE . . . the halls nowg may be they,ll decorate the walls in the future. IT'S A JOY . . . when the pictures resem- ble the girlg but a tragedy, should the girl look like the pictures. Trades Education ' 'HE eyes of commoners constantly peer through the glass in the doors on first floor in the south wings of the building. All kinds of intriguing devices are inside, many of them have wheels going 'round, and boys are playing with them. Here is really the sanctum sanctorum of the Trade School where timid folk never venture. West is the only Denver school giving trade certificates to those desiring a purely mechanical training instead of an academic one, yet the boys must study English, shop mathematics, shop science, and American history before they are eligible to receive their certificates from the State Board for Vocational Education. Three-year courses are offered in machine shop, electricity, and auto mechanics under very efficient instruction given by Harry W. Forrest, Edgar R. Meyer, and Edward I. Watson, respectively. These courses are ap- proved by the State Board, and when a boy completes a course, he is given a certificate by it. The following chart shows the back- ground of the instruction: WEST HIGH TRADE SCHOOL MACHINISTS - AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS ELECTRICIANS - A THREE-YEAR COURSE YOU AND THE JOB YOU WANT Your value on that job equals M-l-T-l-I+J+Mo+Ex+Em MIM:-.Istery of tools and skill.

Mr. Waldo S. Mil- ler presides over the wood shop where every- thing of moderate size in wood is made most artis- tically. Christmas, birth- day, wedding, and grad- uating presents come from here by the scoreg and often teachers have neat little articles of furniture made. Every day broken chairs, Ifll 52 1936 XVESTNVARD HO if ie fs drawers, stools find their way to the wood shop to be repaired. Handy filing drawers and boxes throughout the building are the work of fingers skilful with hammer and saw. Many boys cannot afford to provide the lumber necessary for the required work, therefore teachers furnish it, keep the boys busy with the work, and have better class- room equipment. The printing shop is an indispensable branch of West's curriculum. There is never a day that does not bring office cards, pro- grams, school advertising material, or what not to be printed. The Rodeo every two weeks comes off the West press, and this is the second Annual put out from this shop. Two years ago the'Me11zory Book of 1934 was printed by Mr. George L. Jennings, and with it, his troubles began, growing into the huge task of turning out the Annual. Were it not for Mr. Jennings' individual efforts- hours long-West would have no Yearbook, he saves the publication over three hundred dollars, thus enabling the finance committee to meet the necessary bills. It is he Whom the fContinued on Page 551 INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION S3 AT THE N. E. A. . . . Convention attractive speci- mens from the industrial depart- ment were on display in East High School.

THE MOST . . . useful and artistic pieces of furniture come from this shopg homes on the West- Side testify to this fact. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION students of West must thank for this book. Mr. Fred L. Rinne has the general and girls' shop, in it is taught the care of all the conveniences of modern everyday life from the smallest household equipment to minor troubles in automobiles. Girls learn to han- dle carpenters, tools deftly enough to make handy gadgets for the home. In addition to his regular work, Mr. Rinne has charge of school locks: he sometimes wonders if locks do not comprise his regular work, and shop, his extra-curricular activity. Working with the industrial unit, some- what, is Mr. Herbert H. Sess, the head of the mechanical drawing classes. The very best instruction is given in the fundamental courses of engineering drawing, and in addi- tion all the boys of the industrial classes are taught to make blue-prints for all their me- chanical devices. The work of the classes in this department is not so showy as those in the shops or in the art department, but the prints are exact and scientific, just What is demanded by expert mechanics and engi- neers. The trade-boys are among the staunchest supporters of the activities of West, they vie with the Boosters in donating food for Thanksgiving baskets and in furnishing play- things for the Christmas trees. Then, too, they make innumerable repairs on everything mechanical about the building. West doesnit ap- preciate sufliciently the true worth of these boys because their contacts with the academic teachers and pupils are very few. Many of their number are the most gentlemanly members of the student body. They are good looking, they attend strict- ly to business, they learn a lu- crative trade, they get a job, then they are married. Better consider them, girls! Watch the halls and you'll see this piece of advice is unnecessary. ss 'I' Physical Education HN a modern school evincing such high academic standards as does West, there must be a form of Wholesome and invigorat- ing recreation. This diversion from routine study is found in the physical training field. Physical training has been a part of the school system for ages, in the old Greek schools there were but two subjects taught, music and physical culture being the only ones deemed important enough by the sages to Warrant study. Later religion became the sole topic of the school at the expense of physical prowess, but now the latter is again required in all reputable schools. At West, at one time, even upper-classmen were re- quired to take part in this branch, but school finances, sadly cut by the depression, freed the mighty senior from compulsory partici- pation. CHOW the exalted dislike to have to do anythinglj Physical education is divided to meet the requirements of all students. There are the regular classes, the corrective work, the rest', groups, the military training, and the evzr popular athletics. For the regular physical-ed classes, ex- aminations are given to determine the num- ber of days per Week these young Herculeans may gleefully romp. The corrective classes are comprised of those who are laboring very successfully to alleviate physical deficiencies. Much praise must be given the fine Work ac- complished in this department. The rest classes are made up of those pupils physical- ly unable, at least tentatively, to enter into the more vigorous sports. In this group are those who are recovering from operations and broken bones Cbroken hearts come un- der another groupingb , and many other de- ficiencies prohibitive to strenuous exercise. GIRLS, SPORTS IN contrast to the sport program of the boys, the girls confine all their contests to intramural games among the different PHYSICAL EDUCATION 57 x Ibvl u . ,r P ' f ' classes About two hundred girls come out for the after-school sports, and, of course, there is great competition to become a mem- ber of the teams, which consist of such a few girls. It is truly an example of the old Biblical verse: Many are called, but few are chosen. Honors received by the girls range from DW Qne hundred points earn a small felt D , all additional hundred points give a chevron. A girl entering as a freshman must have a thousand points to earn a big D , one entering as a sophomore needs seven- hundred and fifty. Many girls make two hundred extra points and thus receive the coveted gold ND. the lowest, a chevron, to the highest, a gold fy. 'v S8 1936 WESTWARD HO The year began with Mrs. Mabel S. Ran- dall and Miss Louise McNiff as the able in- structors in physical education and sports. But gloom filled all the halls at West When it Was learned that the beloved Miss McNiff was to be transferred to Manual. At Man- ual, Miss McNiff became the head of the de- partment. Although this change Was a Worthy promotion for the friendly West teacher, nevertheless tears filled the eyes of most of the girls who came to her classes, for she was the kindliest, cheeriest pal to her charges.

D GIRLS WE hear so much of letter men-those fellows who have the girls in a titter over their letter sweaters-that we almost forget that the girlies are playing the two- fisted, he-man game. Not until we see a bright, athletic-looking young lady stepping down the hall with an Old English D blazing on the front of her black sweater do we realize that we have not only letter he- roes, but also heroesses. Girls stop to admire orange jerseyed, be- helmeted gridders-maybe Don Quixotes- fighting a tackling dummy, and they pick out the ones who hit the hardest as the re- cipient of their feminine wilesg while around on the other side of the practice field ap- praising youths spy on the lithe Dianas as they make short work of a speedball game. Then comes the day when lad and lassie receive their letters, here's where the girls have it over the boys.

The Junior League of Denver is re- sponsible for her being at the school, and to them are all the pupils and faculty indebted for the valuable assistance she gives.

This is the com- mand and by-word of the Reserve Officers Training Corps innovated in the Denver schools on Sept. 3, 1935. Number- ing 5 00 members, the Denver unit is in charge of Major James G. Devine, formerly of the Coast Artillery Corps of California. At present he is professor of Military Science and Tactics of the R. O. T. C. in Denver. At the opening of school, Lieutenant Pres- cott Manning was Major Devine's assistant at West. The fact that he was handsome and young made him very acceptable to the girls, his personality and experience won him ad- miration and respect from the boys. Lieu- tenant Manning was born in the Philippine Islands not very long ago and has studied in Nebraska, Hawaii, Chicago, Tennessee, New Jersey, being graduated from South High School, Denver. About the end of the first semester he was transferred to a C. C. camp. Sergeant Elmore P. Moore is the able suc- cessor of Lieutenant Manning. He was Per- sonnel Clerk with the 2nd Engineers at Fort Logan, Colorado, and Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics of the Denver R. O. T. C. He attended Cathedral High School in Denver, was a student for two years at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, and for one year at St. Regis. The Ph.B. was given him by St. Thomas Seminary. Because of the large enrollment at West, it was deemed necessary to form two com- panies The officers of these are: First Company-Captain: Ralph Carr. Lieutenants: Jim Washburn, Sidney Kauff- man. First Sergeant: Earl Cook. Second Company-Captain: Gerald Clay- ton. Lieutenants: Rolland Dare, McKinley Johns It has been the custom in past years to se- lect a girl to be honored as the Sponsor of the Cadets, she represents her school at the impressive annual Military Ball and lends an atmosphere of charm and grace at the com- petitive drill, where the best drilled com- pany becomes Company A of the entire Denver unit and has the distinction of lead- ing all parades. The diminutive Pat Mat- thews is the able emissary this year of the Cowboy troop. The advantages derived from participa- tion in the R. O. T. C. are quite numerous. Uniforms and equipment, totaling 55100, are furnished by the national organization, three years' training in high school is ac- cepted bythose colleges having the military units as equivalent to two years of college military work, and the former R. O. T. C. I f 's W 64 1936 YVESTWARD HC student immediately begins his advanced course upon entering the institution. In ad- dition to the credit for two years' work, the student receives remuneration for his colle- giate service, thus financing either part or all of his college course. West's organization was, during the first semester, very fortunate in having for its sponsor Mr. E. I. Watson, a member of the faculty and a veteran of the A. E. F. He takes an unusual interest in the activities of the corps and his valuable assistance was of marked importance in the progress of the Cowboy unit. Because of his extra heavy teaching program, Mr. Watson was forced to hand over his duties to Mr. I. Scavotto, mathematics teacher at-'West. Mr. Scavotto is new in West this year, but not new in be- ing helpful and in assuming responsibilities. He is a registered pharmacist, having re- ceived his Ph.B. through studying in Califor- nia and Colorado. By virtue of his technical training, Mr. Scavotto is a lieutenant in the R. O. A., the Regular Army Reserves. He is the recipient of an award from the Ameri- can Chemical Society, a distinction cherished by everyone specializing in any branch of chemistry. His educational training was ob- tained at the Colorado State College of Edu- cation, from which he received degrees of A.B. and A.M. He is a member of Phi Delta Pi social fraternity and of Phi Delta Kappa national fraternity for men in education. It is interesting to know that West has several teachers who served overseas with the American troops in the World War, they are Elbert F. Chapman, Charles R. Craven, Harry wi Forrest,'Waldo S. Miller, and Ed- ward I. Watson, the latter two being severely wounded. Clark H. Stone was in training in a camp in California when the armistice Was signed. In the Denver school no effort is made to force students to join the cadets, but a per- son well-trained in military tactics has an enhanced opportunity for either West Point, Annapolis, or training Held for aeronautics. An excellent education, a permanent posi- tion, and a comfortable retirement income are the reward for him who makes good. at-2. ' rv. S f 'Ji' ,'-'A'-Wig Inter-Scholastic Sports PROMINENT in the field of physical en- deavor are the athletes of West. Here we have the interests of the school personified, here are those stalwart he-men who stalk and bring home the proverbial bacon. West has always maintained a high rating in sports, not so much because of consistent victories but because of adamant good sportsmanship. A letter-sweater means Cask Norm for de- tailslj that the fellow has fought for and upheld the traditional glory and honor of the Orange and the Black. Because the Denver Public Schools have no athletic field where admission can be charged, the Denver University Stadium must be rented for football and track and the Merchants Park for baseball. The golf games are played on the Park Hill links, and hockey when, if, and where there is ice. For two years the first contests in the foot- ball season have been played at night. This arrangement has enabled many alumni and parents who work during the day to see their favorite team play and, incidentally, to add more sorely needed cash to the various ath- letic associations. But in addition to adding the cash, some spectators donated unneces- sary ucheerf' Of. course, the consequent rowdyism was laid to the high-school stu- dents by the University and the Tramway Company. Although the pupils were cleared of all drinking, the Administrators forbade any more night games. All miscreants on the cars have been dealt with intelligently, and it is to be hoped, conclusively A preva- lent belief among the students is that ifthere were more tram-cars running on game days, there would be less tendency on the part of passengers to become promiscuously' noisy and rough.

Morris, then a youthful graduate from Colorado College. Since then he has worked unceasingly to develop his boysv into good athletes and good sportsmen. An outstanding athlete himself, he trains the boys to participate in sports with the ideal of good sportsmanship and clean playing predominating. Next on the list is Elbert F. Chapman, the physical director, who is head coach in track and aids Coach Morris in the football sea- son. As an all-round athlete at college, he now carries on at West, giving freely of his knowledge of physical health and sports. Unlimited praise should be heaped upon Wilfred H. Woody. Besides being in charge of all sophomore athletics, he works untir- ingly for the student activity ticket and all other money-raising attempts. He's the financial go-getter. Coach Woody and his youthful aspirants stay well in the back- ground until the players emerge from their cocoons as junior and senior football stars, then they display the true value of Mr. Woody's conscientious training. Coach of wrestling and baseball is Fred L. Rinne, one of the shop teachers and for years connected with athletic organizations of the city. After previously coaching at Manual and East, he realized his mistake and came to West where his real ability is being shown daily. He has the very pleasing task of being the director of the Rustlers, drilling them to form all the figures in the between-halves on the gridiron. Two short years ago another graduate from Colorado College by the name of Don 1 ft 66 1936 WESTWARD HO L. Harrison was added to the West faculty. He assists Mr. Woody with the doughty sophomores. He has made many friends with both faculty and students, they like him and his looks. The latest member of the staff came this fall, he is Earl A. Paul and assists in the gym- nasium with the physical education classes. He was in charge of the golf team and helped Mr. Morris with football. He possesses infec- tious cheerfulness and has smiled himself into the hearts and confidence of everyone. At present he is listed among the counselors, and as such he will be very valuable in assisting fellows in making out their choice of studies because he comes in contact with all the boys through his gym', work. FOOTBALL IIN regard to football, we can all emit a sigh of relief and gratitude in saying, 'QWell, we won! I guess we showed eml, Each game was hard fought against a worthy opponent, but skill and good leadership triumphed to bring to West another championship to add to the already long list. This was a clear-cut victory without a defeat. Team and student body, faculty and alumni rejoiced vocifer- ously at our uncompromising championship. In the final branding, Ivan Gaskin was awarded, by the vote of the entire student body, the title of The most popular foot- ball player of West in 193S',g John Pudlik received the gold football awarded by Coach Morris for the most valuable player of the season, Herb McCarthy was chosen captain by the team, Pudlik, Cockrell, McClard, Gaskin, and Seidenberg made the first All- City team, Leavitt, Mandel, Compton, and McCarthy made the second. WEST 0-NORTH 0 The first league game of the 1935 football season brought together the two strongest teams in the league. West, fresh from a 14l0 victory over Loveland, was held to a score- fx. ok N ... - H. , ,,,....L-,..,.... , Ll , ,W ATHLETICS 67 less tie by North, the surprise team of the league. Although outplayed by West's stronger team, they were able to check the Cowboys' scoring offense. In the last half, West took to the air and reached the one-foot line, but was unable to put the scoring play across. An attempted placement kick by - Pudlick from the 35- yard line was, like Cockrell, short and wide. Two shorter kicks by Cockrell were blocked. McCarthy and Pudlik played the starring roles in the backfieldg and Compton, at end, displayed his ability in snagging passes, thus starring in the line. WEST 7-EAST 0 Keyed up and determined, West took the Held against East, pre-season favorites, and left the gridiron an hour and a half later leading by the score of 7-0. Displaying both an offense and defense that far exceeded that of the previous game with North, West not only outplayed but outfought their tradi- tional foes throughout the game. West's lone score came in the final period after splendid offensive work by McClard and Gaskin had placed the ball in scoring territory. Herb McCarthy plunged over for the score, Cock- rell's educated toe booted the extra point. The Seraphs' only threat came in the third quarter when a long run was finally halted by the safety-man, Seidenberg, who pulled the runner down from behind. The game ended shortly after Ivan Gaskin, West's flash and newly discovered star, had put the pig- skin deep into East's territory by a thrilling 40-yard run. The team displayed rare co- operation all during the game WEsT 7-SOUTH 0 West defeated Souths Rebels 7-O on Sat- urday, October 1, in an afternoon game, but the score fails to reveal the true margin of over the hapless charges scored in the first spectacular Ivan Gaskin 1 end to score, standing up, on a 23-yard touchdown romp Glen Cockrell contributed another of his unerring kicks for the extra point to conclude the day,s scoring. The West eleven held the Rebels -com- pletely in check and threatened to scoreionf five other occasions after the opening touch- down. The Rebels' defense stopped the Cow- boys' thrusts on the following yard lines: 1 ,V .' Q .,,' A l ll . 68 1936 WES 22, 20, 30, and 153 the half-gun halted a West march on the 7-yard stripe. The entire West line functioned in superb fashion on defense with two tackles, jerry Lahr and Glen Cockrell, outstanding. Lafe McClard incurred a fractured nose in the contestg this accident caused a weakening of West's offensive power. Gaskin, McCarthy, and Seidenberg carried the ball on many spectacular jaunts throughout the fray, but the Cowboys' offense seemed to bog down when they entered into touchdown territory. The true story of West'sfsupremacy is shown by the statistics The Cowboys gained 265 yards on the ground and through the air, while holding South to only 13 yards on passes and 72 on running plays. WEST 19-MANUAL 0 Revenge is sweet! Still stinging from che defeat of last year by which the Bricklayers threw us into a titular tie with South, West ran roughshod over Manual to the tune of 19 to 0. Speed Demon Ivan Gaskin scored the first MANDELL GASKIN TWARD HO touchdown early in the first quarter on a 30-yard run. Cockrell's toe forgot its edu- cation, and placement kick went wide. The second touchdown came in the sec- ond quarter. A lateral pass and a forward to McClard was the scoring play. The cha- grined toe failed to regain its poise, and the score stood 12-0 at half-time. The third score came after an aerial at- tack by West. A lateral from McCarthy to Gaskin brought the score. Cockrell made a perfect placement. The last quarter was dull because of frequent substitutions. Stars of this game were Lahr and Cockrell in the line, the back-field aces were McClard and Gaskin. WEST 21-NORTH 12 In what proved to be the championship game of the year, West defeated North in one of the finest displays of football ever beheld in the local prep league. Masked Marveln McClard started the ball rolling by e game for McClard an injury to removed the line-up rest of the est's lead was overcome by a touchdown drive by North, with Sugar- man going over for the score. That ended the scoring for the half. In the last half West, demonstrating how a championship- bound team should blocking a Viking kick a safety. On the ATHLETICS 69 play, filled the air with pikskins and flashing, tricky line plays for three touchdowns. North, scoring again in the last quarter, put on an aerial show of laterals and forwards that amazed the spec- tators. The Cowboys, star- ring more as a team than as individuals, played perfect foot- ball, breaking out with an aerial display which startled and baffled the foe. WEST 7-EAST 6 West's Cowboys scored their fifth victory of the season by eking out a 7-to-6 decision over East in a traditional clash on the morn- ing of November 10. The West cohorts left the Held trailing 6 to 0 at the half, but Coach CTubJ Morris injected new life into the Cowboys during the rest period, and they came back to win and to stay one step in front of North in the title race. West took the second-half kick-off and marched 66 yards to a touchdown, with Ivan Gaskin's brilliant running the feature-point in its irresistable attack. Gaskin squirmed through a hole in the line and raced 32 yards for a score, with the East secondary unable to match his speed. Glen Uumboj Cockrell booted the winning point squarely through the uprights to give the Cowboys their vic- tory margin. East scored its six points in the second pe- riod on a S0-yard march in six plays, which was climaxed by an 11-yard pass for a touch- down. The Angels' attempted plunge for the extra point failed, and the door to the Cow- boys' victory was left open. The Cowboys were outplayed throughout the first half, but reversed the procedure throughout the entire second half, with johnny Pudlik, Gerson Mandel, and Glen Cockrell performing in stellar fashion in the line. Ivan Gaskin, the Spirit of Sunken Gardens, gained 113 yards in 18 tries for an average of 6.3 yards each time he carried the ball. Lafe McClard backed up the line in stellar style. West outrushed the Angels 158 yards to 136. 67 66C- 1 T - .A 70 1936 WESTWARD HO WEST 3 5-SOUTH 0 Scoring almost at Will, West's gridiron machine rolled under a weak but game Southern eleven. Held scoreless in the first quarter by a fighting South team that stopped West on the 1-yard stripe, the flashy Cowboys cut loose at the beginning of the second, scoring two touchdowns. An end- around pass, McCarthy to Pudlik to Seiden- berg, placed the Cowboys on the 9-yard marker. On the next play Gaskin tore through left guard for a score. Later in the second quarter McCarthy, plunging through right tackle, ripped off S9 yards for the sec- ond touchdown. The half ended 14-0. A few minutes after the second half opened, Albertson punted to Seidenberg, waiting on the 31-yard stripe. Vic raced down the field and through the entire South eleven behind the beautiful blocking of his teammates for a touchdown. The tilt ended in semi-darkness but not before Lloyd San- chez, sub-back, lugged the pigskin across the goal-line from the 2-yard marker. Cockrell then kicked his fifth extra point of the game 0 COMPTON MCCLARD through the uprights. Seidenberg raced 25 yards for the other touchdown in the third quarter. WEST 7-MANUAL 6 Over - confidence and a fighting Manual team all but over- threw West in the last game of the year. The Cowboys lassooed the football championship in their last round-up of the '35 season by the margin of Glen Cockrell's place-kicked point after touch- down. This triumph, achieved in a dead-Y even struggle, gave West its first undisputed grid crown since 1928, its third champion- ship or co-title in the last four years, and the seventh in Coach Morris's twenty-one years as mentor. The winning touchdown came in the first period after Gerson Mandel recovered a fumble on the Manual 40-yard line. Taking the ball from the center, McCarthy started to the right on a fake sweep and flipped a short bullet pass over the wing to Pudlik, who tossed a short lateral to Seidenburg. Vic broke away from his tacklers andraced into the open, only to be overtaken on the 2- yard line by Cole. McCarthy scored on the next play around left end, standing up. Cockrell kicked the extra point for the sec- ond time, eking out a 7-6 victory of the sea- son. Manual's touchdown came in the last pe- riod, but on a plunge at center they failed to garner the needed point. ATHLETICS 71 McCarthy and Gas- kin were carrying the burden in the back- field. Mandel was do- ing good work on West's lineg Leo Maur- er, substitute guard, also slipped through Manual,s line for sev- eral timely tackles. L. ALLEN LEAVITT SUMMATION OF THE GAMES , won.

' The last team, which was always acknowl- edged asa team to beat, was the chief thorn in the side of 4East,.the pennant winner. Since it was late in the season when there was found a clicking combination composed of Nikkel and i:'Seidenberg at forwards, McCarthy atcenter, and Sullivan and Pud- lik at guards, the efforts of the team to annex the prep l.eague banner fell short of the mark by onebasket-that is if it had come at the right moment, which was in the last three minutes fof- the second round East- West game when the score was East 14, West 13.

Returning lettermen for 1936 are: Pud- lik, Seidenberg, McCarthy, Trout, Burns, Allen, Sullivan, Johnson McClard. HOCKEY SEVERAL times in previous years West has attempted to have a hockey team, and a few games were played. This year the old thermom- eter slid 6 below thirty- to give ice sufficiently cs' Y thick for skatingf Then the new Mammoth Gar- dens, the elaborate ice rink, were opened, thus assuring Denver of facil- ities for ice games and gambols during the en- tire winter season. Now hockey has become a regular interschool sport, and next year the A ,P 1 games in this recreation -g p will be added to the ath- letic ticket-as well as Hfty cents. This sport has been very popular in eastern college and prep circles for many years, and now is attracting enthusiastic support here. When the student body has once experienced the thrills received while watching hockey contests, the students will place this new game along side football and basketball. Mr. Earl Paul, once a player in organized hockey, coached the West team. The game was new to many of the boys, some having .never seen one, yet the year has been bene- ficial in spite of the fact that the team made a meagre showing, for most of the boys will ATHLETICS 79 1 be back in the fall, and then watch them strut their stuff. Jere Honnecke, a senior, carried Off most of the honors, Cliff Tyron and Charley Youngberg Were close seconds. THE TEAM IERE HONNECKE, C. CHAs. YOUNGBERG, G. FRED PENNY, R.W. CLIFF TRYON, L.W.

Two consecutive victories, one each from Manual and North, placed the Cowboys in ecstacy and anticipation. South took the Westerners down a peg or two by triumph- ing over the hard-pressed team. East was de- feated in the last link tilt to put the Cow- boys close second to the champion Rebels. Mr. Paul was the proud coach of this team, comprised of Joe Duffy, Captain Jere Hon- necke, Bill Lind, Victor Yushka, Philip Oakley, and Lyle Grubb. A .

A TENNIS The tennis tournaments this year are a deep, dark secret. Not a member of the ' 6 80 1936 WESTWARD HO team will open his mouth, and the coach turns away in silence. Here is their picture, here are the rackets each backs. Solve the mystery, gentle reader. At assembly all went to the platform and received letters. WRESTLING No trophy of triumph has been brought home to hang on the wall of the gymnas- ium by the West wrestlers, yet one of the team won all-city champion of the 115-lb. class, he is James Gregory. Throughout the year James showed a perfect record of five victories and no losses, four times he threw his opponent, one being in the all-city meet, and once he won on a time decision. Other lettermen were: LeRoy Edwards, 105 pounds, Otis Shreves, 125 pounds: Leo Maurer, 15 5 pounds, John Leavitt, 165 pounds, and Jerry Lahr, heavy-weight. SWIMMING T HE ol, swimmin' hole had not been - opened when the Annual went to press, yet in the picture can be seen the boys eager to try their skill as amphibians.

ATHLETICS 81 ON THE SIDE-LINES 66WE'LL have plenty of noise today! said a wise senior as the bells clanged loudly for the noisiest assembly of the year-the choosing of cheer leaders. The politics of West are centered around two parties, Barnum and West Colfaxg those aligning themselves in party affilia- tions are recognized by the mud on the shoes and by the onions and garlic on the breath. On this eventful day boys of all description respond to the challenge: Short boys, tall boys, Fat boys, smwll boys, All murder their English but make the noise. Each one uses his voice and personality to gain the loudest following and, hence, the coveted office. There are always some who lambast the student body, especially if there is a meagre response to a poorly led cheer. Such contestants are never chosen. The ones who encourage the pupils and inject humor into the occasion win out. The choice for the 1935-36 season was Bill Yockey, Pea- nuts McLaughlin, and Burt Leisenring. Two organizations give valuable and col- orful backing to the cheering section of West, these are the Boosters and the Rus- tlers. BILL YOCKEY No words are necessary to cell why Bill Yockey's picture is here, and neither are any required to introduce him to the readers. Q ..-.14 ...iw-T--l Y iam.-Q-ng.m,,, . 82 1936 WESTWARD HO Every heart in West contains a big place for this Cowboy, whose willingness to back every good enterprise, to give generously and unceasingly of his personality and verve won him the enviable place as chief leader and inspiration of the student body of West. Everybody admires and loves Bill, even to the point of kidnapping him so that not a hair of his head could be harmed. BoY BoosTERs Several years ago the then Miss Mannix brought into life a club which was destined to become one of the finest boys' organiza- tions in Colorado. Before this time there was an outside group of lettermen unrecog- nized by school authorities. She realized West's need of a pep organization. Her movement was taken over by Mr. Cyril Reed, who carefully chose from the student body a number of boys who were leaders in the athletic and scholastic events of the school, together they built up the Boosters. Soon the eyes of the other Denver high schools were opened to the ardor of West. All the time Mr. Reed was thinking of some- thing that would really bring everlasting fame and glory to the school. For two years the boys sold shakers, tags, gathered and sold newspapers, now, thanks to the faculty and C . student body, West High possesses one of the finest drum and bugle corps in America. At every athletic game, pa- triotic celebration, and student meeting where a little added pep is needed, the boys are there in their bright orange and black uniforms, which truly sym- bolize The Spirit of West That Knows No Better. ON THE SIDE LINES 83 Outstanding members of the organiza- tion are: Robert Hambly, the first Drum Majorg Ray Vanous, the present oneg Bill Yockey, the presidentg Robert Heggenber- ger, the head bugler. THE RUSTLERS Get in line, over therelv Guide to the right! Your line isn't straightlv Such exclamations, accompanied by squelching looks from Mr. Fred Rinne, the sponsor of the girls, pep club,started another successful year. Three years ago this assist- ant coach of West organized the Rustlers, who immediately adopted the fetching uni- form of black skirt, orange sweat shirt, and grey ten-gallon hat. To join this club, every girl must have an average of C at least in scholarship and a B in citizenshipg furthermore, she must keep this record throughout the school-year. All the girls enjoy the drilling on the gridiron e between halves, but the rehearsal after school-nuf ced! XV h 0 is s h e ? Isn,t she cute? These Words were heard throughout the stadium as three-year-old Shirley Fitzsim- mons strutted across the Held at the first 84 1936 WESTWARD HO football game. The little mascot Wasn't bothered in the least,gfor when the cheer leaders brought her back from the opposite side of the field, she Was perched inside Yockey's megaphone, grinning from ear to ear. Her uniform is that of a true Western- er: the ten-gallon hat cocked on one side of her head, the orange sweat-shirt with a black bolero jacket, a pair of honest-to- goodness chaps, and a six-shooter in each hip pocket. She attended every football game and marched with the Rustlers on Armistice Day. The officers of the club are: Margaret Moran, president, Besadora Jaynes, vice- presidentg Violet Lofgren, secretary, Ruth Wurtzbach, scribe. The captain, Bertie l clubs of the Denver High Schools. She ofli- ciated at the first all-city drill, a very impressive and colorful sight. Will anyone ever forget Mr. Rinne's reluctant gun? VICTORY PARADE HN the past six years every parade held be- fore a gridiron encoun- ter has resulted in a glorious victory - but not for West. This time 2 ' .. the Jinx', wasn't with I ., us. The procession was started 'at one iofclock on Saturday, Novem- ber 11, with the championship as the goal. The best decorated car was to be the lead- er of the parade, consequently Elati Street was lined with a flash of orange and black. Incidently, Jack Hampton's model T, with the assistance of a police escort, lead the victory-bound Westerners on Speer boule- vard to Downing street, and thence to the stadium, Where our Men of the Ili, backed up our boast of Champs by a score of 7-6, with Manual carrying the low and losing number.

V ffvl .1 5, X N Organizations 1' ' addition to clubs, in which membership is purely voluntary, there are certain organizations not open to everyone. Many earnest students of West are rewarded for their sincere work, upright citizenship, out- standing leadership, and wholesome influ- ence by election to membership in such honor groups. The most coveted one of these is TI-TE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY For this group are chosen those students from the upper fourth of the senior class who have proved themselves to be foremost leaders in character and beneficial influence. A few of the elite never do become mem- bers because they have not been in West long enough to be eligible. If newcomers were previously in schools where chapters of the National Honor Society had been installed, then their recommendations and grades are accepted by West. Shirley Garlett is president of the group, Mabel Roller, the secretary. These officers together with Kay Sorenson, Amelia Perry, Alfred Nikkel, Ruth Kerber, and Dick Sul- livan, complete the membership as it stood at the beginning of the year. It is the cus- tom to elect, at the close of the junior year, a few of the most outstanding members of the class to serve as a nucleus of the society for the forthcoming year. The above stu- dents were thus especially honored. Twice a year other students are elected to membership, soon after the first semester grades are in and again near commencement. The members chosen at mid year are: Carl Allen, Geraldine Bartholomew, Ethel Belsha, Donald Bromley, Gordon Butler, Billie Eber- hardt, Pete Frangos, Bernice Houlman, Wil- ber Holley, Magdalena Gonzales, Patricia Kelly, Louis Kelly, Violet Lofgren, Herbert I 87 McCarthy, Rozetta McComb, Margaret Moran, Margaret Mitchell, Edward Perry, Roy Tally, Lee Scott, jim Washburn, Har- old Wells, and Elaine Salyards. Miss Josephine Harvey is the sponsor of the organization. SPUR THE Spur is the local honor group of West and is sponsored by Mrs. Barbara Couden. The symbol of the organization is a tiny replica of the regular cowboy spur selected as a Htting emblem for Westerners by the first members of the group, and for- tunate is he whose scholastic standing makes him eligible for membership. The record required for entrance into Spur is two continuous semesters of B aver- age in both studies and citizenship. Should a member fail to retain the necessary aver- age, he is dropped from the club until he again qualifies for admission. Only juniors and seniors are allowed membership. Not only is Spur organized to bring honor to its members but also to give the members a chance to be of assistance to classmates failing in their lessons and thus to stimulate higher standards of scholarship and citizen- ship. There is not enough recognition given by the faculty or student body to the members of Spur. Two-thirds of the pupils have no idea who are members until Annual pictures appear because few look at the lists in the bulletin board. This could be called an ama- teur performance for the National Honor Society, but there is no performance, just the amateur alone remains, and, of course, not all the members are initiated into the club for high-grade students. Harold Wells is the president, Gordon Butler, vice-president, and Dick Sullivan, secretary. What happened to the girls? l 88 1936 WESTWARD HO STUDENT COUNCIL AT the beginning of each semester a rep- resentative from each home room is elected as a member of the Student Council, one of the student government organiza- tions of West. It is an honor to be chosen a representative to the Council because no one can be nominated for either head boy or head girl unless he or she has served in the Student Council. The head boy is presi- dent and the head girl, vice-president. They bring before the group all questions perti- nent to school life, such as pay socials, rules for conduct in halls, assemblies, lunchroom, and on the grounds. STUDENT INTEREST COMMITTEE FEW of the leading Council members, together with presidents of the Na- tional Honor Society, Spur, senior class, and junior class, form the Student Interest Com- mittee. It is the duty of these people to pass judgment on' offenders of the rules passed by the Council. This year the Com- mittee have worked on a new WV book, have put to profitable use the money raised by pay socials, have backed pep rallies, pro- duced plays for assemblies, and considered many new activities that benefit the school. Mr. Clark I-I. Stone, the Assistant Princi- pal, sponsors both the Council and the Com- mittee. C- S M L..... ORGANIZATIONS 89 SAFETY COUNCIL ANOTHER very new organization of the students is the Safety Council, and long may it live. It was formed as a part of the nation-wide campaign to make our country safe to live in. The particular part of the United States assigned to this group is the halls and grounds of West High. Girls with large orange pins inscribed with S. O. S. stand at opportune places to check all running, pushing, and sparring in the halls. For the short time these girls have been working before the Annual went to press, the conduct throughout the building has been much improved. They work .un- der a committee with Charles Ellis as. presi- dent, Bonnie Simmons, vice-president, Dorothe Milzer, secretary, Ruth Wallace, assistant secretary. In charge of the grounds are Dick Erickson and Ed Tepper. Loyal Christianson and Bonnie Simmons have been assigned the supervision of driving. Norma Cassity and Shirley Garlett are the Head in- inspirations. Mr. Trustman attended a high school of over 9000 students, and the discipline of the assemblies and halls was in the hands of the students entirely. He vouchsafes that no disorder ever occurred in the building of six floors. It is evident that there is some- thing decidedly wrong with the Spirit of West that ought to know better be- havior. THE HI-Y T WO groups at West, not connected with any branch of the curriculum, are the Hi-Y and the Girl Re- serve, two great character- building organizations. The aim of both is to develop and to broaden the highest type of extra-curricular back- ground. The Hi-Y is a well-trained child of the Y.M.C.A., which offers many of its facilities to the boys who join the smaller branches of its workers. The West delegation meets ev- ery Wednesday night at the Y building, is permitted to use of the game room any time, and may swim once a month in the pool. Also a promiiient citizen is engaged by the Y.M.C.A. each month to give a help- ful evening for the boys. Again once a month there is an All-City meetingpand dinner held in the lunchroom West, to which an average of one hundred and Hfty boys come. The All-City includes members of Hi-Y groups of the Denver high schools and those of Arvada, Aurora, En- glewood, and Wheatridge. These meetings increase friendships of a much wider scope. The activities of the West boys are num- erous. First they are responsible for the epi- grams posted weekly in the bulletin board by the Social Room, and they provide speak- ers for some of the boys, assemblies and general ones, too. In the fall they give a dance to raise money for some of their num- erous charities. 90 1936 WESTWARD HO 1 The very best boys of the school comprise the membership of the Hi-Y. All of them are clean, straight-forward, and dependable, supporting all the activities of West and up- holding high ideals. The boys themselves vote on the seniors they think have been the best leaders during the year, upon these they bestow the Kepner Key Award. Mr. J. Paul Gourlay sponsors these boys, and he is just the man for the position. For five years he has been in charge of the Y.M.C.A. camp Chief Ouray near Granby: he understands boys perfectly, and it is due to his personality and friendly consideration that the interest in and influence of this club has never waned. The officers of 1935-1936 are Al Nikkel, president, Lee Scott, first vice-president, Mervin Lewis, second vice-president, Pete Frangos, secretary, Dick Sullivan, treasurer. GIRL RESERVES A sister organization to the Hi-Y is the Girl Reserves, carefully watched over by the city Y.W.c.A. Well might a vivacious, alert G.R. have reason to feel herself above the crowd, for members of this active body rate among the best and highest organizations in the ranks of prep-school life. To their less sophisti- cated sisters these potential members of the Y.W.C.A. represent the best in attainment and popularity, one of their chief aims being to enjoy a better type of social life than is generally found. Once a year there is the famous Boy-Friend Party at the Y.W. How good the boys are to the G.R.'s a few weeks before this annual hop. Minor parties are given in the same place every Wednes- day evening to their Hi-Y brothers. All such gatherings foster a very kindly feeling between the allied groups. More important than entertainments, however, is the work of this organization in fields of international relations and race equality. Upholding the ideals of the Y.W.C.A., Girl Reserves eagerly and sin- cerely Follow the Gleam of that elusive goal, the finding and giving of the best. About the most fun the members had at West was the Christmas Party given in con- junction with the Hi-Y to the less fortu- ORGANIZATIONS J 91 nate children in che neighborhood of West. It is often questioned as to who have the most fun with the toys, the big or the little children. Santa Edward Proilit not only brought the packages filled with gifts but stayed to en- joy the refreshments with the children and grown-ups, if any were there. The year's ofiicers are Kay Sorenson, presi- dentg Virginia Gotchey, vice-presidentg Eleanor Kindig, secretaryg and Marcia Milli- kin, treasurer. Much of the sponsoring of the girls is done by the Y.W.C.A. because West teachers are somewhat hesitant about assuming responsi- bilities for the girls at night parties that are in no Way connected with any school Workg they think the parents are the logical chap- eronsg yet Miss Marie Landen consented to Work with the girls because it is really a pleasure to be with them in their fun in spite of the oppressive feeling of responsi- bility. SERVICE CLUB AGROUP of boys who serve the school continuously is called the Service Club. These boys are stationed at advantageous places throughout the school building to watch the halls so that no outsiders may come in the building when the classes are in progress. They test the locks on che lock- ers to see that no careless person has failed to fasten his lock securely. In a building as large as West with its many entrances, strangers easily find their way into and through it. Children from neighboring schools are trangressors and, once in a While, 4 i 1 MJ 92 1936 WESTWARD HO vandals. The duty of the boys in this club is to prevent undesirables from taking liber- ties not accorded them, and to escort the desirable guests over the building. The mem- bers are prone to become round shouldered from picking up paper thrown in the halls by willful or unthinking students. The work of these boys is not particu- larly attractive, and it deprives them of the greater portion of a study period. Their schoolmates should show a better spirit to- ward them by ceasing to throw chewing gum wrappers and other scraps on the floor. Maybe this littering of the floor is done through jealousy by those who were not deemed worthy of assuming the responsi- bility placed on the members of the Service Club. Let us hope the new Safety Council will solve the problem. PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION West High Parent-Teacher association is one of seventy in Denver County, one of four hundred in the state, one of six thou- sand in the nation-with a total member- ship of 1,200,000. Practically all civilized countries have or- ganizations similar to the Parent-Teacher whose purpose is to create a finer relation- ship between the Home, School, Church and Community to the end that youth may be encouraged to become mentally alert, physi- cally fit, socially adequate and spiritually awake. All work in the P.T.A. is volunteer serv- ice, with fathers, mothers, and teachers giv- ing of their best gladly and freely because of a desire to help little children and youth possess their rightful heritage. We pay tribute to those interested per- sons who have supported the Parent Teacher activities at West High during the years and who have laboured unceasingly to bring about a more friendly sympathetic and co- operative relationship between the homes and the school.

Under its leadership a budget system has been instituted to insure an equitable distribution of school funds.

E.. 2,520.00 Some astonishing facts show up plainly in an analysis of the report. Practically one- half the student body pledged themselves to carry the heavy load of the 353,500.00 en- terprise. The non-participating half should be willing to shoulder some of this none-too- easy burden. If every student purchased an activity ticket the price would be 52.50 and still provide an adequate income for all activities. Ten issues of the Rodeo have been distributed making the income of each issue average about S10.00. That means only 200 additional pupils purchased Rodeos who did not hold student tickets. Considered an- other way, it shows one-third of the stu- dents support the newspaper while the other two-thirds read over the other fellow's shoulder. A little over 652, of the subscribed in- come has been paid in so farg this would indicate collections are running behind some- what. , The inference is obvious. West's financial burdens are unevenly distributed because only one-half of the student body is on the job. The other half, the indifferent one, should read this statement with the greatest concern. This condition is not in accordance with the Spirit of West That Knows no Better, and banner classes must certainly see to it that the family budget is balanced yearly, or many activities must necessarily be eliminated. il Q. jf yy, 94 1936 W THE ANNUAL BOARD Third Row: ROGER BOURSE, Make-Up Editor, ORVINE LINE, Associate Editor, GORDON BUTLER, Editor- in-Chief, GERALDINE BARTHOLOMEW, Assistant Editor, WILMER HOLLEY, Make-Up Editor.
