t |TR Zo our bops in serbtce tofjom toe honor. The Hesperian, this year, is dedicated “ I'o our boys in service whom we honor” and you have asked me to say a word in recognition of the West High boys now enlisted in the service of their country. One docs not need a personal acquaintance with these boys to understand the spirit, the motives and the ideals which prompted them to turn from paths of pleasantness and peace into highways of alarm and war. One can appreciate easily. item: the enthusiasm of the moment, or item: the sense of duty, or item: the horrible vision of unholy might, any one of which is. in itself, sufficient apology for what these boys have done. What we cannot so easily visualize is the evolution in sentiment, in life and in character that is taking place in camp and on battlefield today and every anxious day and night as long as this struggle lasts. It is to this evolution in the lives of our boys, of your boys, of West's boys, that 1 wish to pay tribute; because in it lies, in large measure, the success of the proposition to which every loyal American has subscribed—a democracy for all the world and a democracy safe for all the world. The lessons of camp and field today are lessons that will never be forgotten. Nor in the years to come will they be mere reminiscences. They are being driven and burned and welded into every fibre of the being of these boys and when the war is over the memory of these lessons taught by the God of Battles will give us pause. There will be. I doubt not, tho 1 know hardly a dozen of our 350 heroes, an erectness of carriage, a seriousness of purpose, and a conception of the responsibilities of citizenship in a safe democracy that will make us realize in the deepest possible sense that paths of glory have other objectives than the grave. The enlisted boys of West are the natural and unquestioned leaders in the coming generation of Peace. That much has their experience taught them; that much must our gratitude and our loyalty ascribe to them. All honor, then, to the stars of blue in the field of our service flag representing the virile well-trained manhood that is coming back to us. and all honor too. to the stars of gold representing those who have paid, already, the last full measure of devotion” to school and home, and country and democracy and humanity. 7 L.

From the viewpoint of a student it was a wonderful production. West High, as a whole, is glad to make it known that this play was one of the finest things accomplished within its walls during the school year. We cannot praise too much those who gave up their time and energy in order to relieve the school of a long standing debt. CAST OF CHARACTERS The Professor's Love Story —J. M.

It is. therefore, with no little pride that we. the Junior Class, have arrived at this stage and may announce our organization. We shall not be satisfied to have it said of us that we were simply graduated nor yet will we strive solely for our own interests, but it shall be our aim, throughout the remaining short period of our sojourn here, to do all in our power to raise the standards of scholarship, and to foster and maintain the splendid spirit of Dear Old West; and it is to this end that we sincerely dedicate our efforts. ORRIN CORWIN. 14 Executive Committee COLIN JOSLYN DONALD BOSTWICK MEAUNENA SMITH CHARLOTTE KEYES RUTH MERRITT The A Junior Class met on Feb. 25. 1918. to organize and to elect its officers for the term. Orrin Corwin was elected president, with Jean MacRae as vice-president; Adelaide Leighton was chosen secretary, and George Friedman. treasurer. The members of the Executive Board elected were: Rulh Merritt. Meaunena Smith. Charlotte Keyes. Donald Bostwick and Colin Josiyn. The Class was well represented at its first meeting and shows great promise for the future. We were represented in the new Student Council by Littleton Gambill. Andrew Bakkensen and Colin Josiyn. Now that we have organized, the same West spirit will be sure to predominate in our Class and lead us to success as it has the former classes of West High. ADELAIDE LEIGHTON.

We are on the final stretch of our high school years. We will soon pass the last milestone which opens the way to new fields of achievement. As freshmen we did not have a great grasp of the fundamentals necessary to success. We strove together thru our sophomore and junior years for these ideals. Now as seniors, we realize with great satisfaction our work has not been without results. Let us not rest on our laurels but go into the new fields with the same desire for success, strengthening the ties of friendship and increasing ever the honor of West High.

Sometimes this last word is more of a proud recital of the achievements of the class, rather than a farewell. This year any boastful account of the deeds of the class of January. 1918, would be unnecessary and out of place. From the sections devoted to classes, athletics and organizations, the curious may learn of our record. Satisfied as we may be with the part we have taken in school life, at this time we put more emphasis on another incomplete record. We are more interested in what our class has done and will do to win this war. Time alone will prove our ability in this direction. What the school has done for us is another thing. Even in the short time since we graduated, we have come to realize the grip that the West spirit has on us. So when an alumnus tells you how much he misses the old school, you may be sure that he is not saying it because everybody says that sort of thing. He means it. In the same way, we do not say that we are sorry to leave West as a mere form necessary in a farewell. We mean that we feel genuine regret at leaving the school that taught us to believe that West Wins.

Their activities were many and successful, especially during the last term. In the early fall a wiener roast at Minnetonka was much enjoyed by all; it was followed by dancing at the home of Irene and Edwin Krafft. The next event was a dance in the gymnasium, with a large attendance. The biggest undertaking was the class play. “Green Stockings. which was remarkably well produced under the direction of Mrs. Blanpied. The baccalaureate address was delivered by Dr. Burns of the Hennepin M. E. Church, the Sunday before Commencement, in the church auditorium. As the climax of the high school career, the graduation exercises were held and the coveted diplomas were presented Thursday evening, January 24th; the essays and other numbers on the program were well received by a large audience of parents and friends. The final get-together was the informal dance immediately after commencement. It was with great regret that the members of the class separated, some to enlist, some to continue their education, and all to find a place of usefulness. VIVIAN LIENHARD.

The latter unfortunately is narrowed to the little group of players, who have struggled with more or less success through weary weeks to fit a personality large and cumbersome or small and to their own exuberant young spirits. And whether the success of the achievement be great from the spectator's point of view or small, there is no work where so truly may be said that the whole satisfaction is in the trying. To project oneself even for an hour, into another, to feel, see and do as that other might do under the given circumstances, opens up avenues of understanding of the other fellow which never quite leaves the individualist again. The problem solved, the players find themselves triumphant and different. Julia Putnam learned how to be a graceful widow, sad. and Myrtle Williams, grass, Jeanette Willoughby should always be tendeily solicitous of fussy old ladies, and David Sternberg knows that flutelike voices have certain advantages over cello voices. Chappies are chappies, the world over, but Edmund Taylor, Cecil Taylor and Charles Catlin invested each with a distinct flavor not to be found in any of the other three. Parker Brown may live to be a hundred but he never can quite achieve again his own charming admiral of December fourteenth. One hopes that Elsie Knudtson will not go through life with a lie upon her lips—also that Edwin Krafft will not be so habitually convincing. We do not claim any inherent value in the comedy Green Stockings. Pleasant folks meet and talk, and tell a lie. even as you and I, perhaps they do it in a cleverer fashion. We won't pretend to judge Green Stockings has no atmosphere unless it be that of homeiness. But every boy and girl from the perfectly poised woman of the world. Celia Faraday, to the stuffy old butler has grown an inch in being somebody else, which will make living with other personalities harmonious or dissonant an easier and a more interesting business. And the best of it was they didn’t know it—it was such a painless process. 22 WINIFRED BLANPIED. Honor Roll DeForest, Elliott Gazett.

It has been a pleasant task to direct and encourage your efforts Your mistakes have neither surprised nor disappointed us. We know that youth must learn many lessons by experience. It has been a privilege to be a part of the many influences which shape your lives. You are most fortunate young people. West has produced many splendid classes. But no other group ever faced the perplexing problems you must meet. A changed world awaits you. It would be futile to attempt to discern what is to be. You come upon the scene to share and make new changes. You are to be envied for your responsibilities. No easy task would be your worthy heritage. Glory in the work that lies before you. It is your privilege to serve society and shoulder your share of the burdens. We have an abiding faith in your future. Other classes bear witness and uphold the traditions of West. The Service Flag” is symbolic of the patriotism of the school. We are proud of West and expect you to add to its reputation. The community has made an investment in you because it believes you are worth it. Minneapolis has given you the best it could afford. There never was a time when high minded, unselfish citizens were needed as they are today. Make Minneapolis proud of your work. Be worthy of those boys who have given the full measure of devotion” for this nation. Let the Service Flag of West High have a meaning for each of you. May each of your lives be as a star on the Service Flag of our country. Yours sincerely, ALBERT J. LOBB. 34 Class of June 1918 Alice Dunnel. Ira Shattuck. Margaret MacLeod. Merrill Klassy, Secretary). President. Vice President. Treasurer. Our class has passed through four eventful years at West. All the members have shared together the trials and triumphs of freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. During this period we have been brought very close together, both in our studies and in our social life, and have become personally acquainted with our teachers. The class of June. '18. will not be forgotten. As Juniors we started off with a rush. When boys were needed for farm work, a good many of our classmates left school to help Uncle Sam. and in the spring of 1917 many Junior boys pledged their allegiance to their country in different services. As Juniors, also, we carried off the interclass baseball championship. Last fall a new plan of a social function was tried, excluding all except those belonging to the B Senior class. This plan had never been tried before, and its success is a mark of our spirit. Throughout the four years, in matters pertaining to the governing of the school, as well as in athletics, the class of June, ‘18. has been well represented. At last the time has come when we must break these bonds, which tie us to one another and to our teachers, and go out separately into the walks of life. However, in after life, each member of the class of June, ‘18, will look back with pride and tenderness on his high school relations and realize that these little companionships and these trials have tended to develop our class and fill it to overflowing with that bubbling, fresh, never dying West spirit, which is represented in our motto, “West Wins.” 35 IRA SHATTUCK. Executive Committee DONALD BARNARD PAUL MICHELET ALICE LEAVITT LOUISE ROBERTSON JOSEPHINE KENKEL The June Senior Class held their first meeting of the year September 18, 1917, for the election of officers. Ira Shattuck was elected president, with Margaret McLeod as vice-president, Merrill Klassy as treasurer, and Alice Dunnell as secretary. The executive board consisted of Alice Leavitt. Louise Robertson. Josephine Kenkel, Paul Michelet and Donald Barnard. The social activities of the class have been very successful this past year. The two informal dances were both enjoyable occasions. I he attendance of I 50 members of the class at our banquet proves their Democratic spirit. It would be hard to find a jollier crowd than the girls and boys who were represented on our sleigh ride. We hope that the Class of ' I 8 has helped to keep up the spirit of West as we have kept up the spirit of the class. 36 ALICE DUNNELL, Secretary.

It gave opportunity for artistic settings which were designed and executed by the Daubers' Club, with the assistance of the Art and Manual Training Departments. It also gave opportunity for some of the best acting ever done on the West High stage. The theme of the play, The Inevitability of the Consequences of Every Human Act. is worked out most effectively in the characters of the play. The simplicity and naturalness of acts I and IV. and the romantic element in acts II and Hi gave the actors opportunity for a wide range of character portrayal. I he parts of Elspeth, Kenelm. and Adrian were especially well interpreted, but it is to be said, to the great credit of the cast, that there was not a weak character in the play. Jack proved a real hero, to the delight of his audience. Malena and Will succeeded in drawing the interest of the audience, for a time at least, away from the hero and the heroine. Elinor won her audience by her final yielding to her persistent suitor. The comedy element, so necessary to the success of a play, was supplied by Norah and Aunt Harriet as well as by Adrian Tompkins, to the evident satisfaction of the house.

LONG 72 Football at West in 1917 IT seems that each football season, something unusual and unprecedented develops. 1917 certainly did establish a record for itself—West was at the bottom of the list. Never before in the history of the school has such a thing occurred. And West isn't at all ashamed of its 1917 record. For thereby hangs a tale —a tale of patriotic duty and love of country. The reason West didn't win the championship was because practically all of her experienced football men. instead of wearing the Green and White, were wearing the Khaki or the Blue. Minus Captain Leighton, one of the first to enlist from West High, the squad of 1917 assembled. Not only were two of the 1916 championship teams in the service, but the majority of the crack 1916 second team had also followed the example of Captain Leighton. Accordingly the squad which assembled was the greenest of the green. It was also a very young bunch most of the men being Sophomores. With the exception of Roos, the squad was as light as it was green. The line itself didn't average over 145 pounds, and the backfield was even lighter. In addition to these conditions Old Man Jinx was on the trail and took a toll of collarbones, which prevented several of our best candidates from playing during the season. So it was under very discouraging conditions that the season opened. But the men realized these things and worked the harder through the long weeks of preparation. The first game was against South. Just a few days before the game. Shorty Long had been elected to take the leadership of the team. He realized his responsibility and played his best game against the Orange and Black. But the impossible didn't happen. West was outweighed and facing an experienced team. Although the team fought to the finish it was defeated. However, a number of things were learned in this game and when the team lined up against North, it was a better team. Here the heavier and more experienced opponents were held on equal terms for almost the entire first quarter. Then, through an unfortunate break of luck. North scored. West kept playing and fighting, but could never cross the North goal line. The next game was with East. This team had more experienced men than any team in the city. Several men had had three years of high school experience. Although West had improved, the rushes of the East backs could not be stopped by the lighter Green and White line. But the team kept fighting and succeeded in holding the Cardinals scoreless in the fourth quarter. 73 The last game of the season was with Central, an undefeated team. West had been beaten three times, but the do or die spirit was still present. The men went into the Central game determined to play harder than ever before. They did. This was unquestionably the best and hardest game West played. But the Central backheld was too fast and the Central line too heavy for the West team. But West threatened the Central goal several times. The Green and White was on its toes looking for every chance. In the very last seconds of the game Merrill distinguished himself by picking up a fumble and dashing 75 yards for a touchdown. Just as Garzon kicked goal the whistle blew and the 1917 season was over. Every one distinguished himself in this last game, but Ozman. Garzon and Merrill stood out above the rest. So West went through a season without a victory. But there are worse things than defeat. Defeat with honor is much better than a dishonorable victory. And the West team played hard, played fair, played the best it knew how. What more could be asked of any team? The winners of the championship did no better. ADRIAN L. VOIGT. 74 75 Football, 1917 LEWIS GRUWELL LARSON ROOS VOIGT ABELES GRANT MANOEVILLE LABATT TAYLOR BROS SALSBURG GARZON MICHELET MERRILL BROWN CAPT. LONG BECKER YERXA In most respects West had what would be called an unsuccessful football season this year. There were several reasons for this. One of the reasons was our men's bad luck in sustaining injuries during the season. Another was the great war which disrupted the football teams all over the country and took a greater toll from West than from the other schools of the city. Our greatest loss was that of our Captain, Seldon Leighton, who enlisted in the Marine Corps at the very start of the war. When the whistle blew for the start of our first game there were only two men in the line-up who had ever taken part in a game of high school football. Next year, with a veteran back for almost every position West ought to come out on top with flying colors. On behalf of the graduating members of the 1917 team I extend the best of wishes to the men of 1918. WARREN LONG. Field Captain 1917. 76 1918 Football ALBERT SALSBURC Once more we are confronted by the proposition of filling the places left vacant by graduates and also of filling the vacancy left by Coach Voigt. The prospects, however, are brightened by the fact that our new coach will have seven regulars of the 1917 team as a foundation for building up a new machine. He will also have a strong second team, and a large list of new candidates to choose from, and if the old West High spirit shows itself stronger than ever before, the 1918 football team will bring back the championship, which should always remain with West. ALBERT SALSBURG. 1918 Captain Elect. 77 Senior W Men MANDEVILLE (Guard) Ables (R. H.) Michelet (End) Graham Mandeville Tuck” was a consistent player. In both offensive and defensive his opponents found him a hard man to play against. His brainy work opened many holes in the opponent's line for the West backs to plunge through. Mandeville played every quarter of every game. Louis Abeles Abeles was chased all season by old man jinx. Breaking his collarbone early in the year, he did not get a chance to play until the Central game. Here he proved his ability and made consistent gains until he was again injured. Had Louis been playing all season our story might have been different. Paul Michelet Michelet made some of the best tackles of the season, often breaking up plays which seemed infallible. His receiving of forward passes improved greatly during the season as did the rest of his playing. He also played in every quarter of every game. 78 Senior W Men Long (Q. B.) Garzon (F. B.) Rosenburg Julian Garzon “Spike’’ was the fellow who furnished West with a splendid game throughout the entire season. His hcadwork was fine and his calling of signals gave the other fellows lots of pep. He tackled low and was always sure of his man. Warren Long (Capt.) 'Shorty was the smallest man on the team—but oh my! He tackled well and carried the ball better. Opposing teams found his speedy dodging puzzling, to say the least. His pep and fight often helped hold the other team for downs when the West goal was threatened. George Rosen burg ■Rosey’’ tried hard, both at track and baseball, but he favored the latter, winning his “W” in 1917. Catching flies is his favorite sport, but he admits there is fun in knocking a few. George is one of the best sportsmen West has ever had. 79 Senior W Men King Hay JOSLIN Allen King Allen won his W in 1917 running on the relay team. Since then he has improved greatly and is considered one of the fastest dash men in the city. He also showed West that dash men are sometimes good broad-jumpers. George Hay Hay was cross-country captain in 1917. He won his “W in the half-mile at Northfield, but this year has taken to the shorter distances: 220 and 440. He is also a hurdler of ability. Jack Joslin Jack is one and all for baseball. His playing was regular and its quality of the best. At times he was wont to be lazy but Coach Jones usually managed to keep him awake. Joslin is now in the navy with his brother. 80 Senior W Men Fowler Blanchard Taylor Francis Fowler Fanny” practiced for tennis by running cross-country. As a runner he proved his ability by making the team. In tennis he won his W, the second of the Tennis 3. Charles Blanchard Chuck is one of the Tennis 3. He is also a basketball player of ability. Edmund Taylor Ed is the last of the Tennis 3 and incidentally one of the best players West has ever had. As captain in 19 I 7, he showed that tennis is one of the major sports. 81 Lincoln McWhinney (Capt.) Mac is the fastest 220 man in the Twin Cities. He holds the record for this event indoors at the Central Gym. and outdoors at Northiield. Link also hurdles and pole vaults, but oh. that relayl Douglas Roos Roos was the heaviest man playing football in 1917 (325 lbs.). Nevertheless, he played hard and well. His passing was accurate and his work on offense helped West in many of her gains. Gee! but he hated practice. Hiram Brown Ram” was the speediest man on the team and well deserved his nickname. In offense he picked holes with great care and made big gains. In defense he did as well, often breaking up plays before they were fairly started. Brown joined the army immediately after football season. Jack Becker Becker fought with bulldog tenacity in every game, the best. Jack is now in the service. 82 His playing was of 83 Review of frack 1917 THISS VOIGT CRUWELL MURPHY MOES HAWKINS ZIECLER UELAND BAKKEN'SON RIDDINGTON KING MC WHINNEY HAY The West High indoor track team of 1917 met East on the Central track and defeated them in the opening meet of the season. The West-Central-North triangular meet brought another victory to our team. With great confidence we went into the dual contest against Central but were defeated by a close score. Coach Voigt, not liking the effects of defeat, worked the team harder than ever for the final clash of the season, the City Indoor Meet. We went into it with determination, with the idea of winning. When the exciting meet was over. West had won the City Indoor Championship. It was a glorious closing of a series of interesting meets, making the fourth championship the school had won during the year 1916-1917. 84 R. D. ZIEGLER. At the beginning of the outdoor season. West’s chances in track were not in any way obese. Of the team which had won the City Indoor Meet, most of the dependable point winners and veterans had either enlisted or left school for farm work. Martincau, famous captain and star, who was occasionally styled the West track team by caustic wits of the enemy camps, was among the enlisted. First place hopes departed with him. and Larson and Ruben and Leighton and Mortland. The squad which remained was small and green. It piacticed regularly with the coach. It worked hard all the time. But it had lost more heavily than most teams. Inevitably, it fell short of the championship. Following are the scores of the two official meets: Twin City Meet, Northfield City Meet, Northrop Field St. Paul Central . 6OV2 points Central 80 points Minneapolis Central . . . . 35' 2 points West 37 points West. Minneapolis 33 points North 30 points Humboldt, St. Paul. . . . 9 points East II points Mechanic Arts. St. Paul. 7 points 83 1918 Track Lincoln McWhinney Never before did the outlook for the 1918 track team appear so poor as it did at the opening of the season. From the team of 1917 only five W men reported for practice. The rest were green material. Perhaps our greatest loss, though, was that of Coach Voigt. Nevertheless the fellows, without a coach or adequate means for practicing, buckled down to work. Realizing the situation. Mr. Jones and Mr. Zavodsky, both of whom had had experience in coaching before, volunteered their services. Under the direction of these able coaches the team is slowly being moulded into a championship machine. If things keep on as they have been the team will surely win another championship for West. LINCOLN McWHINNEY (Capt. 1918). 86 Baseball 1917 KALTON JONES DE FOREST GRUWELL AIDIAN JOSLIN CAMBILL CAPT. PORTER GREEN BURG GARZON OVERLOCK POND HAMMOND ROSENBURG At the beginning of the 1917 baseball season. West's prospects were rosy. Then, the United States entered the Great War. West High athletes were among the first to answer the call to the Great Game. Enlistment followed enlistment. Three teams were assembled, only to be disrupted. The fourth aggregation was put in the field only three days before the opening of the season. The first three games were lost to East. North and South in quick succession. By this time, however, the boys had found themselves. They defeated South, East. Central. North, and Central a second time, for five successive victories, and a tie with North for the championship. The highest praise is due every member of the squad. West has just cause to feel proud of its 1917 baseball team, and of the boys who answered their country's summons to lay their all at the feet of Liberty. J. W. JONES. 87 Cross Country Team MARSHMAN GRUWELL MURPHY THOMPSON BARNARD JONES MEYERS FRENCH SNURE ZIMMERSC HIED ROCHFORD CLARK POND DREW CAPT. HAY For the first time in its history. West High ran real cross-country races. The two-mile course was laid out over the Glenwood golf links, starting and finishing at a high promontory, which provided the spectators with an excellent view of the entire race. Our first contest was with East, whom we easily ran away from. This gave us too much confidence and allowed us to be beaten in the Central-East- West triangular meet, by---points. Due to bad weather, the Central-West dual meet was postponed until next year and so we were unable to avenge ourselves. Next year, with Drew, Jones. Furnholm. French and Captain-elect Thompson, Coach Gruwell will have no trouble in building up a championship team. CAPT. GEO. B. HAY. 1918. 88 Tennis Team 1917 TAYLOR BLANCHARD FOWLER The 1917 tennis season was a successful one for West in two respects. In the first place, more men entered the spring tournament than ever before, and secondly. West was only defeated once in dual competition. The team last spring was composed of Haglin, Taylor, Fowler and Blanchard. This team defeated Blake and East in easy fashion, but lost to Central by th “ score of 4 to 2. In the Northwestern Interscholastic Tournament West finished third out of eight schools entered. The usual fall tournament was won by Blanchard, and he, together with Taylor and Fowler, formed the team in the above order. Because of unfavorable weather no dual matches were played and there were no fall tennis activities. This spring, with the return of Fowler and such men as Beckett, and Weetman. West should give a good account of herself in the annual mid-year play. 89 EDMUND TAYLOR. Winners of the Girl’s Virginia Vorhees Alice Townsend Frances Maunsell Alice Dunnell Marian Grimes Girls’ Athletic Association The Girls Athletic Association had a good beginning this year, its membership running up to two hundred and forty-five. Its purpose is to promote interest in the gymnasium and in out-of-door sports as a means of recreation, and as a means of securing the physical development and comradeship of its members. The G. A. A. has helped to maintain good scholarship among the girls, since all who compete in any of the sports must keep their average up to eighty per cent. Numerals can be won in swimming, hiking, tennis, volley-ball, indoor baseball, and skating. One hundred points is the requirement for numerals; 500 points for a W. The freshmen won the volley-ball tournament, with the sophomores showing up well. The hikes have all been well attended; seventy-five girls started this work though not all of them stuck.” a goodly number are still working for their numerals. Two parties have been held during the year. The first was in the nature of a track meet and the second took the form of a Children’s Party. Both affairs were very successful. A splendid start has been made, and it is hoped that many more girls will come out next year to win their numerals or letters. ALICE TOWNSEND. 90 In a time when school leadership and school support of West's ideals was the most urgent need, as the past year has proved, the clubs of West have come to the fore more prominently than they have any preceding year of the school's history. Not only have they rallied to support the banner of West, but the nation’s call has found them playing an important role in representing the name of West High on the list of the country's patriotic schools. 1 he opportunity has been offered them in a year such as we have just passed through to make the club a more firm institution in high school life. What has been the result? The school has come to recognize its clubs as patriotic groups that are really the means of expressing to the outside world the accomplishments of the school. It has seen that the club is an important factor in the solving of the problems of high school life. A number of new clubs have been formed during the past year. Two new language clubs are represented on West’s lists, the Latin and Spanish clubs. Besides, there have been organized a Boys' Bird club, an art club, called the Daubers, the All X club, and the Student Council. West’s motto. West Wins, has come to signify more than a firm school spirit. It stands as a motto that has been upheld by real deeds. The following pages contain a more complete record of these deeds of our school organizations. Oh pessimists, you cannot criticise These brotherhoods and call their efforts lies. For they have formed a friendship that lives on. And done a rvork that never, never dies. 91 Student’s Council W. MICHELET, SALSBURG, JOSLYN. LARSON. BAUMAN. ODELL KUHLMAN. YERXA, THOMPSON. GAMB1LL.

BAKKENSON The new Students' Council which replaces the Forum and the Executive Board was organized on April II, 1918. The Council has been created to satisfy the need for a more representative student organization which may discuss all matters pertaining to the welfare of West High and take whatever action is deemed best. The constitution provides that the Council shall consist of twenty-five members. Twelve of these are from the two upper classes: three A Senior representatives, three B” Senior, three A” Junior, and three B Junior. The lower classes have eight representatives, two “A Sophomores, two “B” Sophomores, two ’A” Freshmen, and two B” Freshmen. There are five athletic members: one football, one track, one baseball, one general athletic representative, and one girls athletic representative. The principal and two faculty member? act as a board of appeal. The Council aims to be truly representative of the student body, and intends to be an active promoter of school organizations and activities, and establish and maintain a high moral standard in the school. To accomplish these ends the Council needs the active co-operation of every loyal West High student. TORVALD UELAND. The Student Council is really a Forum; it is of 'em, by ’em and Forum. 92 Y Club ?

The club is founded on the principle that the development of true character is the ambition and aim of every boy. The success the club has attained proves that its object has been accomplished.

MICHELET VILETT SCHLOSS The end of the school year in June, 1918, will find the 1 oinahawk Club completing one of the most successful seasons in its history. In former years, the club has been purely a society for the fostering of public speaking and debating at West, but during the past year the scope of its work has been enlarged. The part which the United States is playing in the world struggle has given rise to many problems which have never confronted the nation. Many of those problems the club has discussed. Military movements have proved interesting and a few technical talks were given on the decisive battles fought on European soil. Scientific subjects, such as Darwinism and manifestations of occult phenomena, have been discussed. The Tomahawk Club believes that its members can be welded into a more lasting and more enduring group by bringing them into closer association. To this end. a number of home meetings have been held, which were successful in their purpose. The younger members of the club have caught the spirit of the club's work and future years will find them promoting the high standards of the organization. The Tomahawk Club stands in the front rank of the many school organizations, which labor, not solely to advance their own ends, but to bind the students into a common fellowship. It has endeavored to contribute to the growth of that ideal we call “School Spirit and make of its members loyal supporters, who will always believe that WEST WINS. MYLES NELSON. President.

COOK The objects of the Engineers Club are to educate and help in every way the future engineers in this school, and to promote interest in the sciences, as well as in the more practical subjects that come within the scope of engineering and physics. During the year, the Engineers’ Club has been seriously handicapped by the closing of the wireless station, but has made progress along other lines. We have heard lectures on construction engineering, liquehcation of gases, photography, the Panama Canal, the war. by authorities on these subjects. The interest in wireless telegraphy has not died out. even with the aerial down. About twenty members have shown their interest in forming a wireless class, with the intention of becoming proficient in the art of wireless telegraphy and of future enlistment as wireless operators for the government. The photographic section of the club has also been active. This group visited the University and spent a profitable afternoon in the well-equipped laboratory with Mr. Burke, an expert photographer. Although this has been an unusually busy year, and several of the most active members have joined the navy, the club has had a good membership. JOHN QUIGLEY. Engineers are the forerunners of constructive aggressiveness. % Student Teachers GAMB1LL MERRILL LARSON LABATT GEORGE THORVILSON SOMERBY The chorus classes this year adopted self-government and have made such a success of it that outsiders have come to visit these classes and have gone back to their schools to try the same plan. Two pupils, one girl and one boy, are chosen by the students of each chorus class as student teachers. The duties of the student teachers are to take the roll, to see that all the pupils have books, and to maintain order. The plan has succeeded for two reasons: First, because of the force of character and enthusiasm of the student teachers; second, because of the fine spirit of co-operation on the part of the chorus classes.

At the outset, they determined to forsake the beaten path of school endeavor and to strike out along new lines. Evidences of the club's individuality are “The Carnival of Wonders. at which 3.000 people were entertained; the Thrift Stamp Campaign, with sales averaging more than $500 per week; the Books for Soldiers Campaign, which netted more than 2,000 books during the first ten days; and the Eyes for the Navy and the Old Clothes Drives, which are still in progress. The All-X Advertising Department has done splendid work in making posters for various activities. The club was given the honor of marching at the head of the West district in the Liberty Loan parade. Under the personal supervision of Mr. McWhorter, the club had charge of the Liberty Loan at West. The All-X Club may justly feel proud of its record. The club’s conspicuous successes bear eloquent tribute to the fulfillment of its high ideals. J. WILBUR JONES. Faculty Member.

Miss Lenore Broberg. an accomplished pianist, has certainly added her share to the success of this organization by her clear interpretation and thoroughness which she has at all times displayed. Symphonies, marches and operas were the selections chosen this year, and not the least among these were “Fair Ellen and Hiawatha. both of which were very successfully rendered.

It is largely due to Miss Beck who has worked so earnestly for the boys since the beginning of the war that we were able to send copies of our paper to them.

They have not gone in blindly; they realized when they joined that they must be ready to die for their country, if necessary, and some have already made the supreme sacrifice. In the letters from the fellows in camps and overseas the attitude of West’s men towards life and towards the army is plainly shown. About all the letters there is an atmosphere of light-heartedness and optimism, and yet a complete understanding of just what obligations they have put themselves under in enlisting. One boy says, ‘ Honestly. 1 don’t care a continental whether I ever come back or not,—that is. so long as I get there. Lots of the fellows feel the same way; they want to do just as much as they possibly can to help. I heir feeling and attitude toward life shows the truth of the statement. It isn’t when you die, but how. Each realizes that he has done the right thing, and so is not worrying about consequences. Those in the service have joined because their country needs them. One of West’s men who died for his country wrote, As you know, the people who only want to live on the country and not for it are not the kind we need now. We want people to serve in the best way they can. This West hero lived for his country and died for it. too. 1 here are two ways of living in this world,—one may be a parasite, or ore may live primarily for the good he can do. West has reason to be proud that four hundred and sixty-five of her men have shown themselves to be of the right sort and have nobly answered the call to the colors. 106 In Memory of Our Comrades The mist lay heavy on the trees; But soft the sorrow-drops Of Heaven’s own sympathies Fell from their dewy tops. Our flag lay heavy on its staff. Its colors dimmed by grief; But slow it came to rest at half. In sure tho sad relief. Our hearts were heavy for our friends In death sealed up for aye. Until we thought what noble ends They served, who dared to die. Then Death had lost its bitter sting, For Life was ours again, 1 o do the daily fretful thing That makes heroic men. And then our spirit flamed to you. Oh comrades of our past. And you were born in us anew— Our flag is at full mast. • E. DUDLEY PARSONS. 107 Harold Barber Died in Service, Nov. 5, 1917 In a letter received from Harold Barber while the I 5 1st F. A. was still at Ft. Riley, Kansas, the spirit that characterized him is made evident. He writes: It is most gratifying to know that we are still remembered by the people of West High. In return for this remembrance, we shall always do all in our power to uphold the good name of West. It shall always be an endeavor of ours to bring fresh laurels and honors to our school. West ts a word which has come to be recognized by all down here as a synonym for fair play, squareness. honesty, and loyalty. Capt. Hugh H. Barber bears witness that the splendid courage and loyalty which characterized Harold at West were evident in his brief life as a soldier. Somewhere in France. January 2, 1918. My Dear Mr. Barber: Permit me to extend to you my sincere sympathy in the loss of your son. Harold. Believe me, I was deeply grieved. 1 thought often of the mother and father at home whose grief must be greater than mine. Chaplain Harrington surely expressed mine and the entire Battery's feelings when he said we had lost as fine a man as the American army had in France. Harold was a true leader and a splendid soldier. He was always quietly and unostentatiously helping others,—writing letters for those who lacked education, taking the part of those whose lack of judgment or education made them the butt of jokes, and volunteering to do the work of those who were sick. The memory of his fine spirit and cheery ways is still and will always remain, one of the elements of a splendid morale. We all have joined and do join with you in your grief. Respectfully. 108 Captain. I 5 I st F. A. HUGH H. BARBER. Lieut. Walter A. Jones Died in Service Nov. 10, 1917 Lieut. Jones was of the 1 7th U. S. Aero Squadron. Camp Taliaferro. Texas. His com-mission from Washington as First Lieutenant in the U. S. Signal Reserve Corps was dated November 8th, 1917. After finishing his aviation course. Lieut. Jones was ordered to Camp Hicks, Texas, as instructor. The commanding officer, Major G. H. Bou-nell, wrote later that the first officer he picked for promotion was Cadet Walter Jones. The efficiency he displayed won him singular honors in rapid succession. As Others Knew Him His superior officer. Major G. H. Bounell said of him: I took a liking to Lieut. Jones from the beginning. His personality and charming manly manners made him respected by ell. He was without doubt one of the best pilots in the squadron. The 1 7th Squadron pays the following tribute: Walter was our nat- ural leader; he was the most honored flyer in our squadron of 1,200 men. (Signed) Brother Flying Officers. Letter from the War Department expresses regrets of the untimely accident, thus depriving the government of his valuable services in his chosen field. (Signed) A. M. Ferguson. Adjutant-General. From Brigadier General Roy Hoffman. Camp Bowie. Texas: He would have done a great work in this war had he lived. As it is, he died for liberty and humanity.—as glorious a death as though he were on the battle front. From R. H. Jordan, his principal at West High: His life, short though it was. was filled with honorable achievement. 1 am sure his friends and associates join in the feeling that there is glory in his supreme sacrifice for his country. Harold Wood, his intimate friend, says: 'Casey' is the third of my friends to go away, and the dearest. It will be our friends who go first—the noblest and the finest responded at the start. I only hope that 'Casey's' death will spur others on to the common service. 109 Lieut. Roger Kennedy Died in Service. Sept. 12. 1917 The spirit of our young soldiers of West is exemplified in these excerpts from the letters of Lieut. Roger Kennedy to his mother: The marvelous destructi-bility of everything but good works seems to me to be one of the great wonders. Eveiy-thing is transitory except what we can do for humanity; that is permanent.” 1 realize aviation is a dangerous branch; but we cannot be too particular. You know that the goal is to exert as much power for good as possible. Of course, I wish the war could be brought soon to a satisfactory close. I am not so eager to kill any Germans. but if, as it seems likely, the war continues for some time. 1 won’t be any the less sorry that I joined the aviation corps. 1 did not join merely to learn, but to learn to serve. It does seem as though we ought to be able to overcome the rule of might in some other way than by force. W'hen one nation is at bay. the loyalty of the people is dominant. The world must now know that war is out of place, and if the Germans can be convinced without being humiliated, we may still see the day when peace is the order of things. However, until the time comes we are anxious to do our best to impress the idea on the Germans by force, with the knowledge of right as the basis for courage. 110 Honor Roll •Died in Service Abeles, Emmons, Lieut.................Cavalry Allanson, Gerald.........................Army Allen, George .......................Aviation Alvord, Wilbur.........................Ground Aviation Anderson.

Knitting, work for the Red Cross Benefit Bazaar, portfolios sent to the boys, an ambulance, and money, are a few of the ways in which this school has aided the cause. Knitting the various articles needed, such as helmets, sweaters, socks, and wristlets, has proved of especial interest to the girls, as knitting is an art in which it is comparatively easy to become proficient. The Girl Scouts of the school have been great workers; the duty assigned to them at Red Cross headquarters was the picking of oakum, a most difficult task, but one which the girls willingly and perseveringly kept at. At Christmas time the girls of the art department made neat portfolios to send to West boys in service. These were then fitted with writing materials. It was the teachers of the school who made these gifts possible. Every room in West has joined the Junior Red Cross Auxiliary. This organization held a big bazaar shortly before Easter, and here West cooperated with the other schools in making a success of the affair. The All X club has shown that it is capable of handling big propositions, and so it was to be expected that it would be successful in collecting books for the soldiers, which task it undertook with the assistance of Mrs. Hall. Through the students over eleven hundred books were gathered together. West, never behind, has kept first place in Red Cross work. The Y. M. C. A. War Fund Campaign During last November the Y. M. C. A. launched a campaign for the purpose of raising thirty-five million dollars with which to help support its work among the soldiers at home and abroad. It was the plan that the boys of the country should earn and give one million dollars of this fund. The amount apportioned to the Minneapolis boys was five thousand dollars. The Y. M. C. A. secretaries appointed sixteen captains from the boys of the city. These chose their own teams, consisting of ten boys, including themselves. There were two teams in each high school, and in addition to these a working boys' team and grade school teams were also organized. Harold Street, of West, was chosen commander-in-chicf of the complete organization. He also was captain of West’s Junior-Senior team; while Vim Heegaard headed the Freshman-Sophomore division. The campaign was to last four days. When the teams met for supper on the first night to report, six thousand seven hundred dollars had been pledged. The campaign ended on the second day because a sum over double the quota had been raised. The boys of Minneapolis had raised in two days twelve thousand three hundred and fifty dollars. The team members had no trouble in soliciting from the boys of West for all were ready to do their part. With that same spirit with which West does everything, she won. 124 125 M1SRAE MSMlLLAN STONE LARSON VitSRAF MSIN TYRE WOOO ROSSITER STERLING Ambulance Day West students have been accustomed to having auditorium periods more or less frequently, but these auditoriums have been just ordinary ones, with possibly a few exceptions. The exception which stands out most strongly in the minds of West's students is the session of December I 4th. December the I 4th was Ambulance Day.” I o show that she wished to do her part in winning the war. West undertook an enormous task, that of raising eighteen hundred dollars to buy an ambulance to send to Europe. Such an amount raised from one school indicates that somebody must have worked hard to make it a success. All the teachers and students helped by their contributions, but if it had not been for Miss Beck's untiring energy and persistence, there would not be a West ambulance on the fighting line now. It was decided at the very beginning that all the money necessary should be raised within the school. Several times outside aid was offered but respectfully refused, and the eighteen hundred dollars, every cent of it, was finally raised in West. Stirring music by the Dunwoody band opened the program. Mr. McWhorter was unable to preside because of his duties in the Home Guards. Mr. Jackson introduced the speakers. He said he was glad to see that West had put across this stupendous project and remarked that it was characteristic of West to support anything that was worthy of support. The formal part of the day’s program was the presentation of the ambulance. Allen King in his presentation speech said: We at home have tried in our small way to do our duty. West’s records in the Liberty Loan and Y. M. C. A. campaigns have been excellent. The school is trying to help the boys by making their life at the front more comfortable and pleasant. It was this desire to stand behind our schoolmates at the front that prompted us to send an ambulance. . . . With a desire to be true to the spirit of the school, we present this ambulance to the Red Cross for the service of humanity in the trenches of Europe. Mr. Carl DeLaittrc accepted for the Red Cross and said that the quality of the machine's construction far exceeded his expectations. Mrs. Moorhead presented a service flag to the school. Three hundred and seventeen stars represented the total number of West's soldiers and sailors in the service at that time. There are now four hundred and sixty-eight boys who deserve to have a star on the flag in their honor, hour silver stars in the center represent our heroes who have died in the service of Uncle Sam. Mr. Gruwcll accepted this emblem, and it now hangs where everybody may see it—on the north wall of the auditorium. The program for the day terminated with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. Nobody who was present will ever forget this memorable day in West’s history. 127 128 129 130 131 Thrift Stamps Playing its part as a cog in the great allied war machine. West has made as its motto for the Thrift Stamp Campaign. ‘Every student a War-Saver. With this motto as a guide and with the view of the great goal ahead, she has responded to the call of Uncle Sam and willingly given her aid by investment in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. She has served by saving, realizing that the request of the government to do her utmost to support those at the front, on land and sea, is a small request in comparison to the sacrifices being made by those actually shouldering arms. When the Thrift Campaign was first promoted at West, the only place for the investment in these Savings Stamps was at the office. A short time after the All X Club assumed responsibility for distribution. The stamps are distributed during advisory periods held every Tuesday. Representatives bearing military titles were elected from each advisory group to serve on a general council of the school, which West has given the title of the 151st Regulars. Rainbow Division, in honor of the West men in service. The All X Club remains in executive control. This efficient and able system managed quite successfully by the All X has brought splendid results. Extracts From the War Diary of Marshall Bartlett, a Former Student of West High. He Was an Ambulance Driver in France. May 19—At last we are on the mighty Atlantic, with the next stop either France or the bottom of the sea. June 12—Bill Grandin had his head shaved today. He looks just like a convict. Guess I’ll keep my wool. July 6—This evening we were let off to visit the municipal movie where we learned a few customs. The men keep their hats on and many of the women smoke. August 4—We carried our worst care today—a man with a stomach ache. He carried on worse than men with part of their anatomy gone. August 12—My brother and 1 arc stationed at a little town and we are the first Americans the people here have seen since our country came in. Every time we walk down the street the whole village turns out to see us. —must think we're a show of some kind. 132 133 134 ■Hi 135 Why? What Is It? By CURTISS SPRAGUE. Why did you enlist?” simpers the sweet young thing. 1 think you look perfectly splendid in your uniform, but why did you enlist? A perfectly fair question, but 1 must admit that 1 do not know. I was an artist. Yes, that's bad enough, but I was not only an artist but 1 lived in Washington Square in one of those artistic holes one’s asthetic soul seeks for atmosphere. And then war was declared and I enlisted. Now. my idea of the army was a queer combination of early American history and Bellum Helveticum. I thought that all that was necessary in enlisting was to walk into the office, say I do” to the enlisting officer, climb into a uniform, shoulder a gun and start out to get the Kaiser. 1 was all wrong. They were willing enough to take me but they insisted on knowing who, why. what, and how I was before they would do so. I was a little skeptical about one thing, —I had to be examined physically. If they found a flaw, my little hero stunt would be knocked in the head right then and there, but seeing that it was part of the game 1 took a chance. They led me into a long room, filled with a number of wicked looking machines, designed and built especially for discovering all the human ailments. Along one side were a number of small booths. They shoved me into one of these and told me to strip. Well, as you know, my previous training as an artist had prepared me for almost anything, but I still had a little modesty left and I was a bit reluctant about appearing in my birthday suit. I mentioned this, but it seemed that it had to be done, so 1 stripped and appeared in their midst, wearing one of those foolish grins. Judging from the glee with which they grabbed me, I should say that hunting for flaws was great sport. It seems that they had the human figger” divided into four parts and each officer had been designated his particular section. Number one had been allotted my chest. He started in by pounding me on the back in a very familiar sort of way. Out of curiosity I asked him what he was doing that for. He came to with a start, looked surprised for a moment and then smiled, turned me around and started in with the same pile driving movement on my chest. 1 he overdeveloped curve on my back had deceived him for the moment and he had confused my retreat with my advance. His knocking on my chest had absolutely no effect on me. Since he could not find anything wrong there he turned his attention 136 He Htartcd in by pouncing me on the back to my heart. It worked like an Elgin movement, but I am sure that he was disappointed, because it did not have a Westminster chimes attachment. He had a worried look on his face as he held his ear against my left side, as if he expected to hear it strike at any minute. A few more jabs here and there and he turned me over to the next one. Number two concentrated all his attention on mid-ship. He turned me around suddenly and rammed his thumb into the most vital part of my alimentary canal. Now I am not a boxer and have not been trained to take sudden jabs in the solar plexus, so naturally I jumped. Ah. ha. he said. It is as I expected. But in the end he decided that my center of gravity was all right, though I had a very sensitive nervous system. Number three reviewed most of the parts that had already been blue penciled but was particularly interested in my feet. I have always been aware of the fact that I had two pedal extremities but I had never given them much thought. Aside from having a small corn once, they had never, at any time, given me any trouble. I very politely informed him of this fact but he would not believe me. Numbers one and two had failed and someone had to find the flaw in this most perfect specimen of humanity. He was well aware of the fact that none of us are perfect, and as I was getting dangerously near the finish either he or number four had to pin something on me. After making me jump around on my toes for several minutes, and finding that it did not hurt me. he insisted on trying to run two fingers under the arch of my foot. I thought that he was becoming facetious and was trying to kid me a bit. because it really tickled, and I started to giggle like an asinine fool. I was all prepared for a This little pig went to market, this little pig stayed at home performance, when he handed me to number four with a disgusted grunt. There was no question about it now. Number four simply had to find something wrong. He looked in my throat, tried my hearing, and tested my eyes: all to no avail. Nothing doing! You, dear people, having read this much of this impossible drool, and realizing what a loosely hung brain it must take to write such stuff, have probably discovered where the flaw really is. but they did not. so they decided that I would make a very choice bit of cannon fodder. You are wondering how four qualified doctors could pass over so obvious a flaw? It is very easily explained. I merely kept my mouth shut. If one will refrain from talking, he is perfectly safe. As I left their presence, these four !!— -? ’’—!!! doctors joined hands and sang with lusty voice: You’re in the army now; You’ll never drink rum. You son-of-a-gun.— You’re in the army now. 137 138 The Art of Successful Horse-Management WILLIS THOMSON. Yesterday we rode. 1 fell heir to a rather tame beast with a knowing eye. He was quite fixed in his ways but we got along fairly well together. In fact we went different ways only once. You see we were both going fast, but in slightly different directions, so it was absolutely necessary for us to part. I would willingly have gone his way. for I am not of an obstinate nature, but he did not tell me that he intended to go at a gallop and turn a corner at the same time; so there was nothing left for me to do but continue in my original direction. Captain Nichols didn’t say a thing about my horsemanship, but he did say that I surely did know how to roll after I hit the ground. In one exercise we had to lie back on the horse,—back to back with him. This was too much for my horse’s conservative nature. It wasn't customary, not done in the front led if he’s stand for it. The man behind me later told me that the noble fellow gently raised his hind feet two feet in the air. I’ll not quibble over distance but this same man the day before estimated a water tower to be 2.000 yards off. while the government map says that it is 10,000 yards distant. What happened during the next moment is lost to history. However. I do remember that I grabbed the horse’s neck as it passed beneath me, and that horse was due for the strongest manifestation of affection that ever passed between man and beast. The horse evidently wasn't of an affectionate disposition for he endeavored to escape my caresses. But 1 am glad to say that where harsh words and angry looks would have availed nothing, a bit of affection carried the day and I landed back where you are supposed to be when riding, but so often aren’t. After this the horse was an example of extreme docility. Later when dismounted. he playfully stepped on my foot and rubbed his face against mine. He enjoyed it,—so much so that he did not wish to stop showing me how much he loved me. I suggested that he move, but he smiled a sweet smile that plainly said that nothing could make him move from my side. And to show that he wasn’t jollying me he tried to rub the skin off my cheek with his head. I am sure that he was sincere, but the best resolves are sometimes upset. One of the fellows dismounted close to his head and he gave a start. When his foot came down, mine had been carefully removed. God knew what he was doing when he put only one-fourth of a horse’s weight on one foot. 139 Vive La France!’ Jeanne had tramped, tramped, tramped, it seemed, for hours. Her numb feet dragged, her tired heart pulled wearily.—she stumbled—no. she must go on. Io the left of her, she heard the moans of her companions; to the right the wails of grief-stricken mothers; before her. the cries of little children lost from loving arms; behind was the sight of old men and women who were silently dropping in the roadside, never to rise again. And on all sides the beasts and tyrants of Germany’s army were beating and driving her people from their homes and native village. Unnoticed, little Jeanne dropped by the roadside while all her loved countrymen fled past her like cattle. Later Jeanne painfully dragged her bruised, aching body across the ruins of her native village. Where once the peaceful tow'n had stood were haunting remnants of walls and homes. In the twilight she could distinguish the only thing which had been missed by shells. Like a beacon stretching far into the heavens stood the church spire, a haven to the weary. Perhaps God saw in this little maid of France a new Joan of Arc. In the shelter of the altar she fell into a sleep interrupted by the occasional crash of cannon. Darkness fell as a blessing to her. Upon opening her eyes, in the dawn of a new day which barely penetrated the dust-laden and smoky air. she observed the figure of a man kneeling at prayer before the altar. He was not a German or he would not be there, and he did not wear the uniform of a French soldier. So absorbed was he in his devotions that she remained unnoticed. Suddenly she saw him draw from his pocket the emblem of his country—the flag to which he had pledged his life. Reverently he pressed it to his lips. It was the Stars and Stripes of the U. S. A. The little village had been recaptured by American troops. Gently a hand was laid upon his arm as the little French maid knelt beside him before the altar. With tears rolling in happy confusion down her checks she whispered: ’’Vive 1 Amerique.’’ He answered. ’’Vive la France.’’ Ellen Stone. NO 141 142 Halt! Who’s There? (John Knox Mortland, Jr.) Ten miles from water. Kansas. Dear Ingwald: I was put on guard last night; it was very interesting. Before my turn came I thought 1 had better learn how they did it. so after taps I went out and hunted for a sentry to practice on. I found one pretty quick; they are as common as cyclones down here; I walked towards him. He says: Haltr 1 did. “Who's there? Friend.” I say. and start on. Halt! says he. aiming his gun at me. Wha's matter? say I, drawing closer. Halt! he yells like a bull.—so 1 halted. “Gee. says he, pretty close for you. 1 was just going to shoot you. I have to. 1 halt you three times.—then shoot. 1 see right off these fellows were not the people to learn anything from, so 1 moved on. The next night 1 went on guard at the reservoir. 1 walked around it taking pot shots at niggers, spies, cats, shadows.—most anything. When 1 had been out about an hour 1 heard a noise near the edge of the reservoir. Halt! I bellowed. Who’s there?” Next minute an agonized voice said: “Holy Moses. It developed that a fellow had fallen into the reservoir. We fished him out, and judging from his breath the taste of the water must have shocked him some.—and in a dry state, too. 1 walked on around the reservoir meditating, when suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by a rustling in the bushes. 1 drew my trusty (also rusty) weapon and gave the three well-known halts. The rustling continued. If the moon had only stayed out I should have soon got a look at the intruder, as it was getting near a clear space. But luck was against me; the moonlight grew dimmer and dimmer. Still the rustling continued. I drew a steady bead on the center of the place the rustling came from and fired. 143 Dear Ingwald,—there is a fellow down here who owns a fine Jersey cow carcass. Don't you think it would be a good plan for me to buy it? I think I will and give up my salary every month to pay for it. Yes, I’m sure 1 will. So you see. Ingwald. that my pockets are doomed to be empty for the next few months, but such is luck. Sincerely as ever, your heart’s desire. Private No. I 33. War Orphans Among the many war activities in which West has had a part is the adoption of war orphans. When the cry for help came over the seas, the whole country answered and offered both homes and money to these little children. At the time of the earliest appeals Miss Beck’s advisory group raised the necessary amount and adopted the first war orphan in the school. Last fall a number of other groups followed the example of Miss Beck's students. Miss Hicks’, Miss West’s. Miss Griffith’s and Miss Hubachek’s advisory classes have each an orphan for whom they are responsible. The history classes who have recited during the last two semesters to Miss Kennedy decided to raise the $36.30 necessary to keep one of these children comfortable for a year. This money was finally obtained and the orphan is now their ward. A French orphan was chosen by Miss Marion Moir for the French club. Besides this club, other school organizations are anticipating such adoptions. In order to encourage war gardening as much as possible and to show the students of West that their hearty and sincere cooperation is needed at the present time, the Botany Department during an auditorium period very successfully and skillfully presented A Pill for Kaiser Bill. The manner in which the cast presented the play was evidence of the fact that Miss Anderson drilled them long and hard. The play brought home very forcefully the fact that everybody should be actively engaged in some war work, especially in gardening. 144 THE WORD BY SEERS, OR SIBYLS TOLD STILL WHISPERS TO THE WILLING MIND. 145 If Owing to the influence of Kipling we print the following: First Version If you can come on time when all the others Are coming late and stalling 'bout the car; If you can get your Math when both your brothers Flunked and gave the folks an awful jar; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting; And not complain; they say it's for your best; If you can bear to see your padlock broken. Remembering all too late your key's inside; Or smile to hear the words you’ve spoken. Repeated to your rival by her side. If you can listen well when profs are joking. Or make a speech when everything's been said. If when this life seems most provoking, You do not yield and wish that you were dead; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of work and fun. You’ll get an A and all they say goes with it. And what is more—you're through in June, my son. Helene Melrose. Second Version If you can answer questions set before you And answering keep your eyes on your own page; If you can work along when all around you Are acting as becomes the youth of tenderer age; If you can fill the hour for fun with laughter And yet keep silent while the others speak; If you can keep in view the goal you’re after And keep on climbing toward the highest peak; 146 If you can do just what you have been told to And doing use your own gray matter, too ; Or try some new experiment to aid you In testing out a method old or new; If you can scrawl: be proud of your creation! Hand in a poem! Put Kipling in the shade! You may just win your teacher’s approbation. And maybe you will get a passing grade. Katherine Milne. Third Version If you can stand in line before the bookroom And be crowded, jammed, and pushed on every side. Then find at last you’ve neither cash nor book-list And retreating, bolster up your wounded pride; If you can lunch on split-pea soup and cocoa And gulp them down before the sounding bell; And meanwhile, not be done” by friendly (?) Seniors Who say they’ve auditorium seats to sell; If you can find your way through ’’Subway Tunnel,” Or not get lost while searching for the lift” And arrive all safe in teacher's room To learn that through the halls you must not drift; If you can conjugate your verbs in Latin And find the value of your x-fy-f-z’s And warble like a bird in chorus. And never slack, nor take a bit of ease; If you can keep this pace and not grow weary. Get up at six and laugh, and call it fun— Yours is High School life and all the work that’s in it. And you've earned the right to be a Freshman, son! Dorisclare Williams. 147 Indebted To You, Albert J. Lobb Among my many days at school. 1 once came under Albert’s rule. He made a man out of a fool. Mister Lobb. He taught me how to study books. How politics are played by crooks. He seldom gave us chilly looks. Mister Lobb. For there's more brains within his dome. Than all the heads of ancient Rome. That's why I'm writing him this pome. Mister Lobb. But when I ever acted wise. And tried to blow before the guys. He took me rudely by surprise. Mister Lobb. His humor was as pure as snow. He's as handsome as a fashion show. There's not a thing that he don't know. Mister Lobb. And when I'm rich and great and grand. I'm coming back to shake the hand. Of the grandest man in all the land. Albert Lobb. CALVIN RISK. I like the lock of khaki and the cut the navy wear. And the men of mettle wearing it, at home and over there; But there's something at the hearstrings that tightens when I meet A West High Sammy or a Jacky bright and neat. 148 HONK HONK. ALICE ■SEA WEED OH MAN I 10 Ml. TO MPLS. SIMPLE SIMON A GOLD BUG RAGS ANY BOTTLES? TAVLOQ AT IT AGAIN 149 On the Death of Hockey No more fun with the old-time game. No more renown and no more fame. Sorrow, despair mark the days of our lives. Of what use is study? Of what use is strife? Sad is the feeling and empty the rinks. For now the fellows play tiddledy-winks. Joslyn and Yerxa and all of the team. All show long faces. Gone is their beam. They wander around thru the halls without aim. For no more can the joy of hockey inflame. This state of affairs is dreadful, methinks, For the fellows are busy with tiddledy-winks. They gaze at each other with glances too sad, A feeling of hopelessness greets every lad. They hang around Rudy’s the whole afternoon. Each humming a desolate, heart-rending tune. They look at the ice and the heart of each sinks. But they still have permission to play tiddledy-winks. When the boys all grow older and leave dear old West, They'll fight the big fight of the world with the rest. We all are behind them; we hope they won’t fail. As we think of the hardships they’ll bear, we grow pale. Never mind, if in school they’re bereft of high jinks. They can still beat the Kaiser at tiddledy-winks! Dorothy Bronson. For A’ That and A’ That In a’ the school there is a fool Who hangs his head and a’ that. Who bows him down and acts the clown And blunders much and a’ that. For a’ that and a' that.

Makes Freshies tremble at his word. He’s but a quiz for a’ that. For a’ that and a’ that. His haughtiness and a’ that. The Juniors gay and Seniors grave. They look and laugh at a‘ that. The Junior all bespectacled With earnest soul and a’ that. In quiet nooks submerged by books. He plies his pen for a’ that. For a' that and a' that, His studiousness and a' that. When comes a chance he’s there to dance. The Junior’s gay for a’ that. Behold the model of the school. Our hero, he's been ca'd that, The Senior great in all his state Knows that he knows and a’ that. For a’ that and a’ that. His “lordliness and a’ that. His frantic haste to graduate. He’s King o’ Men for a’ that. Then let us say that come what may Of clannishness and a’ that. The class is but the guinea stamp. The school’s the gowd for a’ that.

'GIB PPOOT THAT THEY WERE TOGETHER POLACK ♦ '-SOLIE AFTER -SCHOOL JOeVwEEZER JUST HAD LUNCH WHAT‘5 THE JOKE A LITTLE BUG-r GY AND FULL OF PRUNES ■ 152 A Wonderful Dream I had a strange, strange dream last night. It was a weird and wonderous sight. The realm of misty fantasies, The world of haunting memories. The land of awful mysteries Inspired me with delight. I stood where rushing waters swirled. I stood where gleaming peaks were pearled With caps of white, where earth untrod Stretched out its arms and yearned to God. Where undefiled were air and sod. And viewed the hollow world. I stood, and in a misty trance I looked and saw with piercing glance. I saw the earth in space's span; (And haze did not my vision ban) I looked upon the world of man And his significance. The light of earth is called away. And rings the fiery cry “Repay! The snake of Crime springs from its coils. And strikes, and kills, and blinds, and foils. (The Melting Pot groans as it boils) And man longs for the day. The Wheel of Time from black turns while, Relentless dark speeds from the sight. But as the day creeps on and on Man wishes for a lull, anon: He loathes his weary task and wan. And longs, and longs for night. Peace casts its hallow o'er the sky. And man shouts out with bitter cry, Oh give me opportunity To demonstrate my brilliancy. And advertise my piety; Peace gives no chance to die. 153 I long to fight, to strike, to quell; This life to me is worse than hell! Oh let me loom of great renown; Oh king of war, your summons sound. And I will serve, and thus be ground In God's great Human Mill.” War! The sun's red, fiery flood Kindles the mire and boils the mud In which the shells of humanness Become, through scorching and distress, A putrid mass of rottenness To mingle with the blood. And from his tortured, reeking dream Man shrieks and calls with piercing scream, God, smite this fearsome king of war; God. wash away his stains of gore; God, give us blessed peace once more. Wipe out this bloody gleam!” The dream was stopp'd by growing day. But am I not true when I say. Man strives to reach the goal that taunts. Man longs for impossible haunts. He reaches them, and then he wants What he has thrown away? But tarry not o’er my belief. In other things find your relief. Waste not time on things of this sort. For there is truth in your retort, For that. Infinity's too short; Eternity too brief.” Archie Jameson. 154 How To Make a Senior, According to a Freshman Here is an excellent recipe which will turn out successfully if the directions are followed. As a foundation take an ordinary human being in his later teens. Add to this the audacity of a freshman, the superiority of a sophomore, and the gravity of a junior. Mix well with a pound self-importance which contains a few superfluous offices, like the editor of the Hesperian. Stir in a large amount of gayety; then beat well with a quart of conceit which has been spiced with contempt for lower classmen, teachers, and such. Use for flavoring half a bottle of business without doing anything, poured in slowly, drop by drop. Put the mixture into a large pan well greased by fondness for clothes. Bake very slowly in a lukewarm oven for four years or more, opening the oven door occasionally to add a bit of Latin. English, geometry or history. When well done take it out and frost it with assumed dignity. Adorn the whole with a smattering of brains, which may be left out if desired. When all is finished, lo and behold, you have before you—a Senior. RUTH KRONICK, 20. The Rubaiyat of a School-Boy Awake! For night is fading fast away. And darting sunbeams spawn a glowing day. Thy parent’s rasping voice has forced thine ear To pause and hearken to its rousing lay. Ah—cleave the mantle of Oblivion. And rise to greet the beneficial sun; And go thou to thy task with lagging heart. As, in the buried eons, thou hast done. Next comes the hated, wet and soapy douse; While from thy brain the imps of Sleep carouse; I hen, to escape the daily, vapid work, T hou rushes breakfastless from out the house. Oh quaff the cup of bitterness, and then Fare forth into a world of cringing men Lamenting for thy morning meal the while. And cursing sullen fate aloud again. 155 And if thy teacher bores thee as before. And kicks thee and thy friend from 3-0-4, Yet keep thy temper lest thee lose it, and Be outcast, spurned, and hated evermore. What! would thee smite thy loving teacher hence? Oh spend thy life in lonely penitence! And throw into thy arm a Shot to drown The Memory of this Impertinence. Oh friend, could thou and I with Mac conspire To gain control of this great school entire! Would not we break its customs down, and then Remould them nearer to the heart's desire? If Waldemar infests thy fevered brain. And with him brings the Noble Athelstane. Then thou wilt gnash thy hair, and tear thy teeth. And, shouting loudly, damn that inky stain. Thy teacher stares at thee with glowing eyes; And thereupon begins to criticize Thy work. Oh why can she eternally Refute with laughter crude, fantastic lies? But there thee sits upon thy portly foot. And cannot with thy Elder's truth dispute; Oh pray unto the Gods again—again Thy Ignorance to Brillancy transmute. And yet. although a thousand days have sped. Are there not waiting thousands more ahead To fill and fill again the vacant place Until the Father of the Years is dead? So, when the Day of Thee had fled to Night. When Black treads on the Heels of dying Light, Then like the school-boy wilt thee don the cloak And shuddering speed hurriedly from sight? Archie Jameson. 156 157 Dedication To those whose names we use herein, I o those whose faces grace these pages. To those who smile and groan and grin At these old jokes known through the ages.

But Hiram wiped her tearful eyes And whispered in her ear: Chorus Good-bye. my darling Nellie, Farewell, you homely prune; Although I’m going off to war I’ll be back pretty soon.

He has something to do with the Ladies Aid Society, at least that’s what his friends say. He has that “every girl loves me” look in his eye, and then his irresistible poses surely become his supreme, manly build. Elsie, the leading lady in “Green Stockings.” is much offended over being called red headed when it’s only a sort of pink. If you want to bawl a person out get the technicalities right anyhow. Elsie was managing editor of the “Hesp and even if she didn't work so very hard, she at least had a desk that she called her own.

Was bored a bit. so he snored a bit. And dreamed a Latin dream. He saw a Latin monster. With a crooked Latin fin. Distort his Latin features In a hideous Latin grin. He saw the monster beckon. With his frightful Latin hand; And he led him away for a night and a day To the shores of Latin Land. And there he saw some verblets, With cruel Latin hearts. Dancing a jig in a Latin wig. And flaunting their principal parts. He saw a Latin prison. And watched the Latin sinners. And all the crooks were caged with books Called “Latin for Beginners. And then he saw a terrible thing. Which robbed him of his breath; He gazed upon a Latin beast. Lying still as death. Freshie turned to his Latin guide, Why doesn't he move? asked he. That is the Latin Language. And it is dead, you see. And so the Freshie dreamed on, In Latin slumber sunk. But when he awoke, it was no joke. For he got—a Latin Hunk!! RUTH SMALLEY.

Our hurdle stood so shakily, Down in the lower hall, No one dared e'en take a breath. Lest our poor hurdle fall. All bandaged up with string and cord, A pitiful sight it made. From a dozen brand new hurdles once. This one alone had stayed. The runner sprang into the air. And gave our hurdle a mighty boot. Vainly it tried to keep its feet. But 'twas gone and well it knew’t. Our hurdle grasped the hurdler's foot. And spilled him on his head; Our hurdle's last great fight was won— It hit the floor, broken and dead. Many a straying shin he'd scraped. Oh the abuse he’d borne. Till now with one foot in the grave. Still standing, scarred and torn— Bang! another runner came. Rushing to the attack; Our hurdle shuddered, shook. But stood and did not slack. A doctor buries his mistakes, tve publish ours. 177 The Mush Club Here, ladies and gentlemen, we present for your inspection those well-known organizations of former St. Peterites. escaped convicts, evangelists, and social butterflies,—the Mush and Slush Clubs. The purpose of the Mush Club is to make its members look like men. The Slush was formed just for fun.” Above is a portrait of C. Johnson, the famous Persian Hookah (also a member of the Mush Club), taken as he set foot on the shores of our country. We guarantee this to be the only landscape in existence with Count Bobo Von Shattuck, the notorious orator, and his wife, the Bearded Lady, as the foreground. No, Allen is not going to hide his mustache, he merely is about to sneeze. 178 The Mortuary A Live Man in a Dead Place is better than a Dead Man in a Live Place Written by WARREN MARTIN TINGDALE ( Himself) OH! MY. YES. This part of the feature aection it the veritable yellow journal of yellow journals. If you have any inside dope or real scandal about anybody, preferably teachers. send it in. it will obligate you in no way. POETRY LIKE MILTON DOES IT. This poem was prompted by a joke we heard at the Orpheum a while ago. You see we’re modest enough to give someone else some of the credit. All the girls are knitting For our soldier boys in France. And some of the things you’ll recognize With only the slightest glance. But listen: I’ve seen a knitted helmet look something like a sweater; I’ve seen some sweaters built like socks. And wristlets not much better. Now I could tell you truly of some other things as well. But I really saw some mufflers That surely looked like Hel—mets. TRY THIS ON YOUR PIANO. A guy is famous when he's got some money; he's notorious when he does not pay it back. So says Walt Morrissey, the Human Stummick. MORTUGRAMS. A West Championship—Just like sugar in your coffee. Good Marks—They satisfy. How did Noah know there were two asses and two monkeys on his boat? Ask Dad. he knows. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. No, Mr. Roos, obscene language will not be printed in this here book. Yes. we should like to see a good joke before death do us part. No. don't use stove polish on patent leather spats. Certainly not. Miss McLeod, no sixtecn-year-old girl should smoke. A recent advertisement contains the following startling information: FITTING AND PROPER. We know you'll be sick when you get through with this book. Antidote: Read some old Hesp. We know this is a rotten book, but we had a good time, and didn't work hard, and we’re going to graduate, and we're responsible as a group, not an individual, so we have protection. If you think these things are punk, you should see the stuff we turn down. Most of the material turned in is helping the salvage department of the Red Cross. Good jolfes are more to be sought than great riches—and as hard to get. 179 Dear Ting: I was cleaning up the quarters and happened to run across a bunch of cartridge boxes we had left after target practice. I threw them all in the fire as they looked sloppy. A moment later 1 remembered one of the boxes was still full of cartridges. so I thought I'd run over here (to the Y. M. C. A.) nnd write you a letter. Well, after six weeks in Kansas I have found out why Jess Willard became a prize-fighter. Two weeks more and I’ll be a train robber. Everything is on the level here except business and the inhabitants. Business is also slow, but not me. I know now why they put the Federal penitentiary here: to save transportation. I am strong for this life, in fact, all the fellows are; I notice it whenever I get near them. They are a good bunch as far as they go. but none of them ain't got started yet. We are all flat broke. You can't appreciate how hard up a soldier can get. It's a hard life. The other day I was on kitchen police duty. I got bawled up and put salt in the coffee instead of sugar. I was nearly shot as a spy. Well, from the reports I hear, I judge the box of cartridges has gotten all het up. Yep. sure enough, there comes a fellow through the window; no, he’s taking the window with him. Well, here comes the sergeant—through the roof—and I just feel that he is looking for me. XXXXX—Guess? No! They’re wal- lops. J. KNOX MAITLAND. JR.. Company A. 2nd Depot Butt., Fort Leavenworth. Kansas. S. W. A. K(ick). I’m not a literary person. So I do not o’er these gloat. But I know these poems are worse'n Anything that's wrote. If the gentleman who keeps the shoe store with a red head will return the umbrella of a young lady with whale-bone ribs and an ivory handle to the slate-roofed grocer's store, he will hear something to his advantage, as the same is the gift of a deceased mother, now no more, with name engraved on it. This picture was taken just as Weezer was going over the last hurdle when she broke the record and her right arm two years ago. Martineau was in the same race but his slowness is evidenced by the fact that he is so far behind that he can barely be seen coming down the course. EUSTICE RENDALL. The true lover’s kiss just as he was leaving for France with the 151st Field Artillery. Love is a wonderful thing. 180 Reading from left to right—Thaddeus P. Giddings, Supervisor of Music, Minneapolis Public Schools. This picture was taken while Robert Jennings O’Brian Murphy was rendering a ballad of his own composition. The billiard ball effect of his head was caused by just such people as O’Brian. Sophie was n farmerette last year and was some little agriculturist. She raised much comment and cabbages. DANCING (WITH) THE LIGHT FANATIC. I don’t see how you dance the way you do.” said Myrtle Williams, girlish like, as Fat Roos crushed her tiny foot beneath his massive bulk. EVEN AS YOU AND L The iueal half-baked clam, the pepless wonder, the eighth tragedy of the civilized man is the numbskull who, after a football, track or baseball contest, calls you up and wants to know how it came out. OUR DAILY SPECIAL. Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and Darwin is right. Joke Enkel sure got our goat when she rode around town in that Studebaker of her’n. Although taken years ago you can recognize the tame smile (on Miss Ken-kel, not the goat) as she now wears. AIN’T IT THE TRUTH? “It’s a hard world.” said ”lreland-Must-Be-Heaven Osman, as he was bounced from a Harriet car on to the stone pavement of Lowry Hill. HUMOR FROM ABROAD. In a letter from Ronald Scofield, West ooy with the Canadian Army, now in England, to Robt. Murphy, he says: “You may be an officer of the ’Y’ Club but ’A Man’s a Man for a’ That,’ as it rays in the Bible.” POWERS’ MEAT DEPARTMENT. Half Witt and Half Meat. Ask Alvin or Karl. 181 « fc Mi � r. No, you’re wrong again, the sign refer to the dump. No, the achool i not the dump we mean, we mean the « h dump in the back of the building. I’LL SAY SO. Will the young couple seen kissing in the auditorium a few weeks ago kindly report to our office? Both girls are well known. AN OPEN LETTER. (So the Pupils May Know.) My Dear Cecil: I hate to bring this up again but Wilson was re-elected last election. Should I send the $2.50 bill to your father or will you pay it? By the way, pay me back that shirt you borrowed for graduation, will you? Yours in haste. TINCDALE WHAT HAPPENED TO: The mutts who tried to raise mustaches last fall? The good old Hesperian with their good old jokes? The old lunchroom with the greasy spoons? The old library with its dozen books? A room? The Spectator? PORTRAIT OF MY SUMMER GIRL. She had freckles on her homely nose. Also on either hand; She had bright red hair. And still I'll swear She was built like a rubber band— Her back was bent, so were her eyes; She was pigeon-toed and lame. Her bow legs looked like a croquet arch, But I love her just the same. She only has 'bout three teeth left. The rest are gone all right; She's eight feet tall. And her ears ain’t small. But I love her with all my might. AIN’T IT THE TRUTH? The most optimistic dub in the world is the fathead who will sit through a high school vaudeville program of about fifteen long, dry acts and say, Aw. let's wait, the last act might be all right. 182 The ELECTRIC MACHINERY CO. of Minneapolis Manufacturers of Generators and Motors (from 50 to 3000 Horsepower.)
