CLASS OF JANUARY 19 17 MARGARET HARRIS EDMUND BATES LEIONNE SCOFIELD DE WALT ANKENY (Secretary) (President) (Vice-President) (Treasurer) Our high school days arc now over and it is with sincere regret that we leave West High and the teachers who have been our closest friends during the last four years. Having passed the second eventful period of our school days, we find that we are now just starting out on life’s long journey, and 1 am sure everyone of us will more than live up to the standard established by our class. We, as a group, have been seriously handicapped by our small numbers and by the lack of an auditorium, but we have shown our true character and ability in the way we surmounted these difficulties. And in gazing back over the class activities we find that our accomplishments have far exceeded our highest expectations. We have upheld the honor and fame of our school and are all proud to be members of the class of January 1917. 20 EDMUND BATES.

Executive Committee RUDYARD DAVIS MARION APPLEARD HAROLD WESTERMAN BERNICE BERRY SUSAN GRECG The Senior Vaudeville was the principal event among the class activities of the past year. The class being small, there was not enough material to make up the ten acts planned, and volunteers from other classes and other schools were joyfully accepted. An act was contributed by Central, one by St. Paul Central, and one by the alumni. With such assistance, the vaudeville could not but be a success. A large crowd attended the performance at the Central High auditorium on January 19th. and the consequent swelling of the treasury made it possible for the class to purchase as a memorial two additional sections for the frieze of paintings which is to adorn the new library. The remainder of the money was added to the fund for a motion picture machine for the auditorium. Commencement proved to be a pleasant disappointment to those who attended. The program was short and interesting and the type of speeches given set an example for future graduation exercises. MARGARET HARRIS. 21
