McWhorter, our principal and leader; to “MACour friend, a true booster of the Green and White, we respectfully dedicate this Hesperian. •foreword To the Pupils of West High School: 1 trust that, in reality, the Senior class, this year, has not dedicated the Hesperian to me, but to that principle and ideal which I have tried to emphasize since 1 have been here, and which, to some decree, at least I hope I have impressed upon the school, viz., ti e recognition of responsibilities and obligations. not as opposed to, but as parallel with rights and privileges. It must come strongly to our mind that we are not a group of isolated individuals, each working for himself alone, but that we are a social unit, a community group, in which each member is as deeply and as sincerely interested in the progress and advancement of his fellows as he is in his own. That above and beyond all allegiance to clique, or faction, or party, or sect, is the allegiance to the school which embraces us all. West High must grow out of the spirit of individual and selfish interest into the broader spirit of democratic service and helpfulness. This is my message to you ami with it goes the hope and the belief that this is the trend of your thought and the direction of your will. Very truly yours, Contents Book 1. Till-: SCHOOL. Book 2.

Cook lias announced his intention to leave the Minneapolis schools at the end of the current year. Mr. Cook has devoted himself to the teaching of natural science; he came to this city when it was possible for one man to take care of all the branches of his subject that were taught in one high school. He. of late years, lias confined his work to physics. It is due to Mr. Cook that the first wireless stations were erected in this city, first at South High then at West. To his inspiration and leadership also, the school system owes the Engineers’ clubs found in all high schools of the city. These organizations of enthusiastic boys, with the high place taken, as a result, in government service in aviation, and in wireless stations, by West graduates, call forth a strong feeling of gratitude to the man who made such work possible. Mr. Cook takes with him to California, the high esteem of all his West High associates, both young and old. SC Page eighteen WHS -A yCUssa £ to tbe (Blrls By Miss Jessie Caplin WEST MI ST BE BEST Miss Jessie Caplin, Dean of Girls This phrase is a slogan, which may be lx th an opportunity and an excuse. It gives an opportunity for leadership, and an excuse for work which can make West a wonderful school for your smaller sister to come to. Leadership means that when you start to do something which should be done, you can get others to help you. Is it in your power to influence others? Will you use this influence for the good of the school? West must be best. Work means doing a thing which has to be done, even after you are tired. Work means “keeping at it till the goal is reached. Will you volunteer? West must be best. You know what West really is; others judge the school by what they sec. Your appearance, your manners, your standards of honor, your actions and your conversation make or mar the reputation of the school. Are you fair ? Are you reliable? West must be best. The slogan calls for ambition and persistence. 1 lave you these characteristics? Will you give interest, effort, loyalty and co-operation? West must be best. For my girls I want progress—progress which constantly lifts your personal standards to a higher level, strengthening your character, as physical lifting strengthens the muscles. Girls, what do you want? Do you always stop to think what is right and what is wrong? Do you take account of what will hinder, what will help? Are you all going forward? Then, West will be best. Yours sincerely. Jessie F. Caplin. Page nineteen Page twenty Our Oeacljing Staff i n= WHS Xi 3B Z51)e West THigb -faculty SL Supt. of Schools...................-.......-.......B. B.

This policy has proved to be a good one in many respects, but has had a tendency to separate instead of to unify the various athletic interests and to divide the student body into groups, some, loyal supporters of the game of football, others of baseball, etc. Such a condition made it impossible for every West team to receive equal sup-l rt and valuation and many a time West teams were unable to accomplish what they might have done if there had existed an unified West spirit in lieu of a specific team spirit. It was found impossible to secure an unified interest in athletic activities unless one man was made responsible for the complete supervision of all athletic activities and since this responsibility has been placed uj on mv shoulders I will do my utmost to weld all athletic interests into one. so that West High will be able to boast of an athletic spirit in the broadest meaning of the term. First of all. it will be my policy to endeavor to make into one, the several athletic interests of the school and to centralize all athletics; second, to direct the work in such a way that the majority will receive first consideration and so that the true purpose of athletics will not be obliterated; and third, will be my aim to uphold the name which West has made in scholastic competition. The true life of a school is determined to a very large extent by the athletic spirit displayed, and the student body that stands as a whole behind its athletic teams, is the student body that is truly loyal to its school. The success of any school activity depends upon the support of the student body, and if we desire to make West teams all that they should l e. let us have a true representation of West High at all athletic contests.

Gruwcll, McWhorter, Kiblcr, Drew Financial Statement of West High Athletics for Year, May 1, 1918-19. The total receipts for the year, from all sources, have been SI,137.11. divided as follows: Football. $449.38: Track. $25.00: Basketball. $153.45; Baseball. $58.00; West High Athletic Association. $326.47; lost equipment. $10.00: all other sources, such as the sale of ribbons, arm bands, caps. etc.. $114.81. The total expense for the same period has been $1,298.62. The balance on hand May 1. 1918, was $261.16. while the balance on hand May 1. 1919, is $99.05, showing that we have spent during the past year $163.11 more than we have received. The total receipts from tickets sold for games the past year, has been far below other years. This is accounted for by the War. and the poorer attendance at all games, and by the Influenza Epidemic, which occurred last fall during the football season. This prevented the sale of tickets for one of the contests and cut the attendance seriously at the others. 1 lowever. we expect to start the coming fall season free from debt, and with the revival of athletics since the war. we look forward to a successful season for 1919-20.

Kelsey Countryman—Secretary. George Friedman—Treasurer. The W Club is a club with a purpose, or. more correctly, with purposes. The club was organized with a three-fold purpose. The first, to stop smoking, has been accomplished by offering our whole-hearted support to the student council committee. The second, to encourage athletics, has been accomplished bv the fellows pledging themselves to participate in some form of athletics every season, hoping in this way to set an example for the other fellows in school. The club is eagerly waiting to fulfill its third purpose, to help secure an athletic stadium for West. This organization is in no way connected with the pre-war “Alumni W Club,” but it is composed only of “ Ywinners now in school. It is hoped by many that the two athletic organizations will merge when our athletes return from Over There.” Because of the unusual character of the membership of the “W Club. I feel safe in predicting that in the future the “W” Club will become the most active organization in West Hi. Since all elements arc represented in the club, a great and varied activity is bound to be the result. In the past the athletes have been the leaders; and so it is still, the leaders in school activities are athletes. When so many leaders arc in one organization, it is a sure sign of strength. Graduation will be to the “W” Club as pruning is to a tree: it will give it new life and energy to continue its good work for West. Frank Roos, President. Page thirty-six 1918 football 3 evie w Bv COACH D. C. MITCHELL MITCH” represented by a bunch It is rather a difficult task for one who occupied the position 1 did, relative to football, to write a resume of the past season. The war made it necessary for farm boys to remain at their work until at least November 1, and that made it possible for me to get away from my regular position at the School of Agriculture and help at West until a year around coach could be secured. I knew the situation in the Minneapolis High Schools, so expected to have a difficult task in giving West a team that would win all its games. I lowever. this school has always been of “scrappers ’ so I believed we could give a good account of ourselves. We did accomplish that much. I have always thought that the real strength of a football team lies in the line, and so our efforts were spent, for the first three weeks, on developing good linemen. Our game with South showed that we accomplished what we were after. However, it also showed that we had concentrated too much on the line, for when it held, as it did all thru the game, our opponents resorted to the forward pass and our “backs” could not break it up. South won 32 to 6. every score against us being due to forward passes. As a consequence. I took the best man in the line, Clinton Merrill, and moved him to full back. The game, the following week, against East, justified the move. East had a team on a par with any in the high schools, and was able to work only one forward for a touchdown, and intercepted one of our passes for another, while Merrill intercepted one of theirs for our score. We lost 13 to 6. Poor selection of plays and hard luck really lost us this game, for our yardage was double East’s. In the last half they failed to make a single first down. E Page thirty-seven 0c X WHS X! I personally felt that with the line-up as used against East, with more opportunity to work together, was destined to give the rest of our opponents trouble. The injury to Merrill received in the East game and Bros' absence in the fire district, weakened us considerably for our St. Paul Central game. Again forward passes and a poor selection of plays was our undoing. We lost 19 to 12. Merrill never returned’; Osman. Gambill and Bourdon left for the army and only the shell of our former selves remained. The champion North team defeated us 56 to 0. and our old rivals. Central, had to fight hard to win 24 to 0. 1 feel, and have been gratified to hear West’s authorities also state, that the record made this year has been no disgrace, but has been an illustration of how West's athletes fight to the finish even when in as unaccustomed a place as Page thirty-eight xTwhs :------ 1918 football 5qua6 Gruwell, MeCantpbell.

Myers, the present mayor of Minneapolis, offered a silver football trophy to the high schools of this city, to promote keener competition among the teams on the gridiron and to enliven the interest of the students in the game of football. These two aims have certainly been realized bv the past five successful seasons, during which the rival elevens have battled for the permanent ownership of the trophy. The conditions under which it was offered were as follows: 1. It was to be up for five years, finally going to the school winning it the most times. 2. It was to be kept temporarily at the winning school until another succeeded in capturing it. 3. In case of a tie, the team with the highest scholastic record was to be named the owner. Since its initial appearance in 1913, the Myers Trophy has resided in three of the city high school trophy cases. The champions, since its offering were: 1913—West ' 1916—West 191-1—North 1917—(Withdrawn) 1915—East 1918—North As, owing to the war, it was withdrawn from the competition in 1917, when Central came out on top. North High by winning last year were able to effect a tie with our school. West. Last October. R. C. Tapp, athletic head of the public schools, announced that owing to higher scholastic records of the Green and White elevens. West High would be named the j ermancnt possessors. And so, thanks to the hard efforts of our West High gridiron representatives, the hard fought for Myers Trophy, after staying its regular time at North, comes home here in our case, to stay. 0[ Page forty-one X WHS X! THOMAS YERXA, Captain Elect The prospects for a championship team at West this fall, are very bright. 1'he team will be entirely composed of veterans. While we will lose three W men by graduation, we will gain two who have returned from the war. The men have all decided to train hard, which is one of the most important things in football, because this strenuous game demands the perfect condition of each player. The team, being composed of experienced men in perfect condition, with the aid of our new coach. Mr. Kibler. must and will bring back that championship to West. There is one thing we must have, however, and that is the support of the whole school. Thomas Ykrxa, Captain T9. 30 Page forty-two Crack 3 cvicw of 1916 (By Captain Lincoln M Wiiinnky. ) Never before in the athletic history of West, has this school experienced a more lengthy, successful and exciting period, than the 1918 track season. I say lengthy because it covered a period of sixteen weeks with a meet of some kind nearly every week. I say successful because we improved the school’s finances. besides winning the Twin City Championship, and placing next to Shattuck, the state champions; and I say exciting because, well, you that attended the meets can use your own judgment. We started the season by defeating North on Feb. 15; and the next week we heat East by an unmerciful score. 84 to 20. We felt pretty bad in losing the indoor championship to Central, but the boys just gritted their teeth and said. “Wait until we get 'em on a cinder track. It was that small resolution, that resulted in the defeat of Central in the first MAC” outdoor meet of the season, on April 26, and started us straight down the road to victory, a road that gave us the Twin City Championship and added a few cups to our collection. The success of a meet usually depends on the individual effort of each man. except where the score is tied up to the last event, and it is up to the relay to bring victory; and this is just what our Bakkcnson-King-I lay-WcWhinney relay team did many times. This relay team was the fastest in the Twin Cities in outdoor track and also holds the indoor record for the Central track by running the le in 1 minute 31 2-5 seconds. Page forty-lliree ]E X5HZ c Throughout the season we were well fixed in every event except the middle distances. In the field events, with Moes. to count on for firsts in the shot and javelin, and an ample supply of material in the jumps and pole vault, we were particularly strong. All of the members of the team deserve great credit for their efforts in landing the honors, which we did. Captain-elect Labatt led many a fast field in the 220 and also starred in the broad jump, discus and on the relay team. Allen King proved to he a valuable man in the dashes and George I lay was a point-winner in the hurdles, 4-10 relay and broad jumps. There was no better miler in the Twin Cities than Art Drew. Henry Niles did his share in the hurdles, high jump and filled in twice on the relay team. Other men who helped Win iast season were Bakkcnson. How, McMillan. Jones, Baker, Friedman and Harold Myers, who enlisted in the navy during indoor season. Taken as a whole, it was a fine and worth-while season. The work of all concerned was very creditable and the school spirit and sportsmanship shown was excellent. It will no doubt be a long remembered season, especially by those on the team.

Indoor track received a jolt this season from basketball. Hut by the faithful work of a few men. we virtually won the indoor Twin City chani-pionship by defeating St. Paul Central in a dual meet. With eight last year's letter men back, an outdoor championship team seems assured, never before has the team looked so well balanced at such an early date. Niles can be relied uih ii for his usual number of points in the high and broad jumps and the hurdles. Mocs is in splendid condition and looks good for city records in the shot and javelin. Wildman and Phillips, from the Excelsior High School arc two additional point winners; with these men. under the able coaching of Mr. Zavodsky, it is safe to assume that we will make a high bid for the City, Twin City and Northwestern championships this year. Allan Labatt, Captain. t baseball 3 £vtew of 1918 W ith 15 victories and no defeats, the West 11 ij h baseball team of 1918. achieved a record that is likely to stand as a goal for Minneapolis high school nines. Better still the team set an admirable example in deportment on the field and in the classroom. Starting the season as virtually an inexperi-enced group, the men rapidly developed into a well rounded team. Pitching, fielding, hitting |K wer. sj)eed and all the other requisites of a successful team were represented. The keystone of the combination was Robert Ganibill, one of the most valuable men a team could have. Aside from his hitting and fielding which were exceptional, his qualifications as a leader made him an ideal captain. I fe displayed the fighting spirit that has made West famous. To him much credit is due for steadying the team and helping it maintain its fast pace. Milliard Beckett proved to be one of the great- est high school pitchers ever developed in the in'! northwest. Me could easily have held his own V among the leading colleges and universities of , the country, as was shown by the ease with which lie shut out the St. Thomas College team. Francis Pond was easily the class of the high school catchers of the year. I le held up his pitcher, sized up his batters and displayed a good throwing arm. In addition, he delivered many a timely hit. Francis Fowler, at first base, showed the greatest development of any man on the team. Almost without previous baseball experience, he did capable work from the beginning of the season. He led the league in batting, with an average well over 500 per cent. George Rosenberg played a steady game at shortstop. He fielded well and was a good base-runner. ••BILLY Page forty-nine Page fifty Str iX WHS 1918 (Djamptort asaball X3eam Paulas. Gruwdl. Jones.

The men were not involved in the scholastic difficulties often common to members of athletic teams. They co-operated in every manner possible for the betterment of the team, and made coaching a pleasant and easy task. The team deserves high ranking among the famous West High athletic organizations as a representative of the ’best traditions of the school. J. Wilbur Jones, Baseball Coach. 1918. Page fifty-one CAPTAIN BOB GAMBILL During the past three years. West has had a remarkable record on the diamond, one which has never been equaled by any other Minneapolis high school. This showing is due largely to the leadership of Former Coach J. Wilbur Jones, and to the spirit of “scrap-it-out which he instilled into his workers. Mr. Jones took the baseball squad in hand in 1916. when with the valuable aid of Captain Shorty Barber, the Green and White finished in second place, after a hard fight with Central. In 1917. after losing three straight games and nearly all of the first string players, the coach built up a new machine which started West's famous winning streak of twenty straight games, five in '17 and fifteen during last season. This string of victories resulted in two championships for West. At the first call for candidates, the prospects for a winning team in 1919 were not very bright. With the loss of Coach Jones and such men as Beckett, Fowler, Pond, Miller, Aidian and Rosenberg, there was a big hole to be filled. I fowever, with Coach Kibler at the helm: four vets. Rose. Countryman. Osman and Gambill back in the spangles, and with Bach, Williams, Thomason. Bellew and Jacobsen, they certainly ought to make a creditable showing this spring. Robert I- Gambill, Captain. ]0 Pa je fifty-two — xTwhs 1919 basketball beview (By Coach J. I). Kiblf.r) When I arrived at West last January I was very much surprised to learn that the season of 1918-19 was the first in which West had a representative basketball team, because in other parts of the country where 1 had been located, almost every village, town, and city school possessed a representative team. 'Phe fact that last season was the first time that basketball entered into comi etitive scholastic athletics, detracted somewhat from the initial interest in the game. At the beginning of the season, only a few of the fellows were aware of the fact that basketball was one of the most difficult American games and one in which a successful contender had to possess an unusual amount of athletic skill. Only the fellows who had seen and played the game to some extent, responded to the first call for practice; among this group were Wildman, McDonald. Koepkc. How, Stone. Rowe, Hair, Williams. Neuman, Remington, Johnson and Anderson. If the success of the season should be determined by the actual number of games won. nothing more could be said than that the season was a failure, but if consideration is given to the marked improvement of the team as the season progressed, the sportsmanship displayed, the augmented interest in the game, and the honest endeavors of the members of the team, the season can be proclaimed a very successful one. Captain Wildman proved to be a very able leader, a dependable one. and a great deal of credit is due to him for the fight and true sportsmanship that our team exhibited throughout the season. McDonald showed considerable improvement as the season progressed and before the close, was one of the best all-around players on the team. How played a very good game at guard, and succeeded in breaking up more of the opponent’s plays than any other member of the team. Neuman fought from start to finish, and proved to be both a good offensive and defensive player. The other members of the squad who deserve special mentioning were Koepke, Williams, Rowe. Remington, Johnson and Stone. The prospects for next season arc very encouraging. Six members of last season's squad will l e back, among this number will be McDonald, Williams, How. Remington. Johnson and Stone. McDonald and Williams will be strong contenders for the forward positions, I low possesses many of the requisites of a good center, while Remington, Johnson and Stone, will put up a hard fight for the guard positions. The Class League developed some very good players, who will offer strong op]x sition to the members of last season’s squad. J. D. Kiblf.r, Coach. MERRITT MCDONALD Captain Elect. 1919 basketball eam Gruwcll, Neuman, MacDonald. Remington, Johnson, Rowe, IIow, Korpke, Wildman, Kiblcr I’akon as a whole our 1919 basketball season was not a failure, in spite of the fact that many people may have considered it such. Basketball was a new sjK rt at West, as in all other Minneapolis High Schools, and at first the interest in it was rather lax, but it can be truthfully said that the school loyally supported the team all season. One of our greatest handicaps was the fact that we were able to play hut one scheduled game in our own gym, and it is hoped this will not be true next year. The two “flu” vacations, and the newness of the sport greatly hampered the polishing of the team as a whole. Two of our best games were, the East game at South, which we won 21-26, and the North game in our gym. which the referee forfeited to North 7-10, due to misunderstandings, through no fault of our team. The quint showed the right spirit throughout the season, and the work of all the men was very creditable. Led by Captain-elect McDonald and guided by Kibler, with good support by the school. West should surely have a winning team next year. Louis M. Wildman, Captain, 1919, Brown Koo , I’ond Labatt, I .arson, Collins Schatlcr, Gambill, Coffee, Nile The idea of a midget basket ball team was developed by Coach Kiblcr and it proved to be worth while and very much of a success. The players had to weigh not more than 125 lbs. at the beginning of the season. A team was develoj ed which was fast and elusive and which showed a snappy brand of basket ball. Ralph Williams was elected captain at the start of the season and he proved to be a very good one indeed. It is supposed that West will have a Midget team every year in the future. Gruwell, McMillan, Kiblcr Adam . Rote. Adamson Williams Hair Senior Ceam The Senior Basket ball quint copped the school championship in whirlwind style, running away with every other class they played in great form, altho there was many a battle royal. At times the audience had to look at the shape and size of the ball to see what game was being played, but never the less the games proved exceedingly interesting and worth the time and pains taken. As in other interclass sports no first team men were allowed to participate but this did not hinder enthusiasm in the least. Interclass basketball will doubtless increase in prominence and interest from year to year. We expect though, that that “Terrible Senior Gang of Sharks will be remembered for sonic time to come.

Kulilman The tennis team of the fall of 1918, consisting of V illiams, Shollcy and Kuhlman. was greatly handicapped by the enforced closing of the schools, due to the epidemic then raging. However, there was probably more interest shown in the sport than ever before. There were more entrants in the fall tournament than heretofore, and the matches were all hard fought. ()ur team entered three men in the City Tournament with the result that Shollcy and Williams won their first starts. Shollcy was still in the running when the playing was stopped, owing to the influenza. In the spring the team was composed of Fowler, Beckett, iias and I hiss. This combination won dual meet with East. This spring, with interest in tennis at its height, and such men as Weet-man and Williams back, the team should take up the sport where it was left last fall, and enjoy a successful season.

Jewell, liooih At the opening of school in September, a good sized squad of men came out as usual tor practice twice a week over the Lake of the Isles course. Under the leadership of Captain Thompson, a good team was developed, although we missed Drew, who had not yet returned to school. Owing to war conditions, the Last High team did not materialize so that we were able to schedule contests with Central only. It was decided that we should have three meets, the winner of the two out of three to he declared the City Champions. We were coming along well, with prospects for some close contests, when the fire in the northern part of the state called out the National Guards, and incidentally Captain Thompson, the day of the first of the contests. We met Central, anyway, October 17. The race was run over the Kenwood course with fifteen men on each side. Central won 193-272, though Furuholmen of West was the first man in. Thompson was still in the burned district October 21. when the second meet was scheduled and run off. We (lulled up well over the first time, but lost by thirty-seven points, the score being 214-251. Central had now secured the title for the season, but West did not lie down. The team decided to run the last meet. Thompson got home and the last meet was held as scheduled. This time West showed that we do not give up; we won the meet 171-182, with Thompson and Furuholmen showing up splendidly. With the var over, and Arthur Drew back for 1919 captain, hacked up by such men as Klopflcisch. Jewett, Howard and Shute. West should be easily able to build up a winning team. L I . Gruwelg, Coach Page fifty-seven SWIMMING TEAM REVIEW, 1919 For the first time in the history of the school. West was represented by a swimming team. The team was developed and coached by Mr. C. A. Hyatt, of the Minneapolis Athletic Club, and practiced at the M. A. C. and the Y. M. C. A. pools. Our first meet scheduled was a dual meet with the Shattuck Military School swimmers, but owing to a misunderstanding, this contest was not held. A meet was held to decide the Minneapolis Interscholastic Championship, on March 19. In this tilt, West. Central. South and East were represented by teams. West had the honor of winning the first Minneapolis Intcrscholastic Swimming Championship by a wide margin, owing to the excellent showing of the whole team. With the swimming becoming more and more popular; with such swimmers as Merrill. Ruben, Carter, Gray. Stuart, Jeffrey, French and Lehman; and with the proper kind of support.

This fact has brought vividly to mind a deplorable condition that has long existed—the grave danger of which we have little realized. Should the young women and girls he given a similar test, no doubt the same startling condition would Ik revealed. It is to help remedy this state of affairs that Physical Training has been instituted in the schools. One branch of the work—athletics for girls—is a new feature at West High School and comparatively few girls are availing themselves of the opportunities offered. For those who find pleasure in being out-of-doors. what could he more enjoyable than an afternoon of hiking with congenial companions. or a set of tennis played with schoolmates? In athletics the spirit of rivalry and competition should put us ’‘on our mettle and spur us on to do our very best for our team, our class, or our school. Many girls say. “West is a boys’ school,” but, girls, do you know that you are to blame? With the substitution of volley hall for basketball, girls are offered the same branches of athletics as lx vst and receive practically the same recognition. It should be the ambition of every girl at West to earn either her class numeral or school letter in athletics. Every girl of high school age should be bubbling over with health, energy and enthusiasm and how can she better conserve these qualities than by taking good wholesome exercise out-of-doors or in the gymnasium with other girls who are brim full of good spirits and happy just to be alive. Every girl in West High School should be taking part in some form of athletics and that is the goal toward which the Girls’ Athletic Association is striving. Frances N. Cushing. MISS FRANCES CUSHING Girls Athletic Director 00 Page sixty-five XWHSX SirU’ -Athletic Association Pace, Ilnllxtrom, Kelly George, Krueger. Kooplc, Krueger Kalin, Cushing, Baltwcbbcr, Murray, Hicks The Girls’ Athletic Association is an organization to which every girl should belong. If she docs not she deprives herself of many good times with the girls and the opportunity to gain added health and development. The first event of last fall was the volley hall interclass tournament, which proved to be very exciting. The Freshmen were captained by Doris Deutsche, the Sophomores by Mabel Stein, the Juniors by Elizabeth Zimmer, and the Seniors by Harriet George. The tournament was opened by the Sophomores dealing a dashing blow to the Seniors who were weakened by the lack of enough players. The Sophomore and Junior teams easily proved themselves to be the stronger while the Freshmen and Seniors were an even match. The championship game played between the Juniors and Sophomores, was won by the Juniors with the score of 15-14. and was a most exciting struggle. The “Flu vacation gave plenty of time for hiking and many eight-mile tramps A-crc taken. The girls found lovely spots around Minneapolis, learning that automobiles arc not the only means of locomotion, and that high heels arc not made for country roads. The following girls took the required hikes and won their numerals: Ruth Murray, Edith Ballweber, and Harriet George. The others will complete their hikes next term. At the swimming tryouts held at the Y. W. C. A., in November, the number present proved this to be a most popular sport. Many girls made the requirements for gym credit by swimming sixty yards and taking two dives. The requirements for class numerals arc sixty yards with one stroke, twenty-live yards with another stroke, plain forward dive, and twelve yards under water. These numerals were won by the following girls: Edith Ballweber, Adelaide Burns. Helen McGregor, Carol Shannon and Harriet George. On account of the weather the usual skating tryouts were postponed until next year. Only the Seniors were given a chance to try for the requirements, which arc skating forward, skating backward, sculling backward, heel-toe turn forward and backward and cutting ice forward and backward. After much trouble, the aspirants for numerals finally arrived at the Hippodrome the day before it closed and there Edith Ballweber and Harriet George won the required points. This year a Girls’ Track Meet was held at West for the first time. The girls EC —J Page sixty-six 0E XMHSX practiced hard and enthusiasm ran high. Four girls, Helen Peet, Isabel Allen, Ruth Murray, and Marian Jeffrey, gained more than one hundred points, thus winning their numerals. The record of the meet is as follows: High Jump.

HalUtrom, Rallwcbbcr, Gambia The West High Athletic Association is a new organization in school. It was formed in the latter part of May, 1918, to bring about a closer relationship between athletics and the students. Its pur| ose is to promote, an interest in all school sports: a high standard of sportsmanship, morals and excellency in athletics, and to execute all measures which shall directly pertain to athletics.” The total membership in the Association since it was organized is 1,025 students. At the present time there arc 450 active members. Throughout the school year the association has been doing many things which have kept it to the front. A football banquet was given in honor of the 1918 team. This banquet was attended by 175 students, one of the largest banquets ever held in school. The Association has also taken the responsibility of managing the Sunlight dances. These dances were given on Fridays, when there was a bye school. As well as helping to develop the social side of school life, the association has boosted athletics to the utmost. It held different rally and pep meetings for athletics at various times and staged the largest indoor track meet of the season. This meet was the Record and Medal track meet held at Central High Gym. on April 4. in which some 75 boys participated. In view of the fact that this organization is a new one in school, there are many problems which time alone can work out. Success of this organization depends upon the student body and with their membership it will make the liveliest organization in school, worthy of the name. West High Athletic Association. Robert L.

The ship moved on. and the sky above Was flecked with clouds half-grown, Like stone-grey omens pointing down To an evil, yet unknown. The moon man glided through the clouds To an open space of blue. While he stared far down through the gloomy depths At the secret that he knew. He could not tell to the mortals, there. Of the U-boat far below. There was just one chance for him to take: This thing, then, he would do. So he sent forth his clear, white rays As the funnel came in sight. The ship’s men saw, and understood,— A flash broke through the night. The light was gone: the dark prevailed; The moon behind a cloud; The sea and sky, as one, were clothed In a grey and misty shroud. The moon sped on to his mountain home. The U-boat gone for aye, Our soldiers safe at a foreign port To welcome the dawn of day. —Hortcnsc Roberts. v e n i it g The day, so bright and fair was at its death, The sun his labor o’er, had disappeared, And in the west whose splendor held my breath, A band of purest amber softly cleared. And harmonizing, blending with the gold. Was richest crimson, blood of dying day. With silver smile the tender twilight folds Into the brilliancy a softer ray; With swift yet stealthy tread came darkness on, And from the sky there stole the radiance As sadness from a soul when joy is gone. But in the violet heaven, did night advance, The starlight cheered the dusky eventide, As hope illuminates life's darkened side. —Viola Allen. WHS n Cbe ong of Westabiwa i Should you ask me whence this clamour. Whence this loud and frenzied shouting. Echoing along the hallways, Drowning out all other noises. I should answer. I should tell you. 'Tis the moiling of the students As they cry out for their fodder. ’Tis the clink of dimes and pennies As they jingle on the tables, ’Tis the swish of mashed potatoes. 'Tis the rumble of the sandwich. ’Tis the murmur of the ice cream, And the gurgling of the white milk. II Can you see him as he stands there. Face half hidden in his Latin. Cringing fearful, and expectant That his name will be pronounced next? Says the teacher to her pupils. Peering out through burnished glasses, Seeking out her newest victim, Tell me of this verb, Delere. Tell me all its quaint inflections. Use a sentence to illustrate What you tell me of Delere.” Can you sec him as he stands there Shameful, hopeless, eyes averted As he stumbles through declensions. As he mutters different tenses. As he fails to satisfy her? “You will pass not. says the teacher. You will pass not for you know not Of the nouns and of the pronouns. Of the adjectives and adverbs: You will take this o’er and over Till your brain is filled with Latin.” Then despondently he utters Such a cry of mortal anguish That his very freckles rattle, That the windows shake and quiver, That the seats all groan and tremble, That the very bells of passing Ring and clatter with his anguish. III 'Tis the seventh lapse of dullness; Through the school a buzz of study. Now pulsating, now resounding. Echoes up and down the hallways. And the lonely students seated In the Library arc thinking Of their past and of their future, Long to break away from study, Long to wander in the sunlight Where the brooks arc ever laughing, Where the sky is ever azure, Where the trees are ever pleasant, And the earth is ever smiling. Think again of school and teachers. Think and swear about their duties. Till at last the hoarse hell ringeth. Liberating to the sunlight All the prisoners of learning Who with books and rules and pencils Trudge into the mists of distance, To the kingdom of no study, To the land of rest and quiet. To a home of peace and freedom. JAMESON. SC Page seventy-one Seasons In Springtime when the buds unfold And scented breezes banish cold, Youth dances, wild with ecstasy And unfulfilled expectancy.

In Autumn when the daylight fades And gardens turn fantastic shades, Youth walks a well-taught minuet— Pleasure mixed with pain as yet. Since Life's a Dirge!

BE iXWHS X: Ol)c Millionaires Always under his left arm pit, L’Ombre, the noted French criminal, carries his knife. The knife is so sharp that L’Ombre shaves with it every other Saturday. You can go with him to an apple orchard and designate to him a certain apple on a certain tree, and so great is his skill, that he will, from a hundred yards, throw the knife in such a way as to peel the apple while it is yet on the tree. Always in his left vest pocket L’Ombre carries his automatic pistol. Words arc weak things, and they fail to express the almost unbelievable accuracy of his shooting, lie can grease a bullet and at a distance of three blocks butter a piece of bread. Always around his right wrist L’Ombre wears a William club. This is fashioned of knotted leather and so quick is his stroke and so hard is the club that he is able with but one blow to shatter into bits plate glass. He is a bad guy to argue with. Each night it is the pleasant custom of the guests of the hotel Builticss to congregate in the lobby and pass away the dull hours with social functions of varying nature. Every Tuesday and Friday night an elaborate and costly dance occurs in the ball room of the hotel, at which, needless to say, gowns rare and magnificent appear around beautiful debutantes and rank ladies, that is, ladies of rank. Musicians in a far corner of the room till the air with sweet seductive airs, which cause most of the men to partake of drinks at the hotel bar room, which is in another corner of the lobby. And now the orchestra drifts from the classic, Ja-Da, into a rousing dance piece from Beethoven. Merriment and pleasure reach a climax, and the room is filled with the clever stories of the men and the suppressed, shocked laughter of the women, when enters through the door a person disguised as a gentleman. Me seems strangely out of place. The canary birds suspended in gilded cages from the rafters, eye with envy his flowing heard, and are seized by the desire to make their nest therein. To all appearances he seems respectable but a keen observer could discern, totally concealed by the gentleman's arm pit. left vest pocket and right coat sleeve, his knife, pistol, and billy. The stranger watches the dancers for seven minutes. Then he invites the men to drink with him. While they are occupied at the bar he slips quietly away and joins the ladies. He draws his automatic pistol and lircs through the ceiling. The women are frozen with horror, but the men who arc drinking at the time do not hear the shot. While the women arc recovering the man swipes all their jewels, and jerking off his disguise, speeds from the room and leaps into his Winton, which is waiting for him at the door. Seated in the deep divan in her father's library, Helen Vaseline looks moodily at the rows of books opposite her. Harorl Pyrex by her side is speaking. Hel,” says Harorl, “Why do you so chide and harass me with them words, when you know 1 did it all for your sake?” “You art a thief, and thieves arc not welcome in my house,” replies Helen, pre- Page seventy-five XHHZ ciscly, throwing her gum into a brass receptacle provided for such things. “But no one knows that I was the one who performed the deed. Listen Hel, I disguised myself as L’Ombre, a noted French criminal, and then re-disguised myself as a gentleman. Having studied the methods of L’Ombre. I knew what he would do under similar circumstances. So. I just grabbed the sparklers and then jerked off my gentleman's beard and everybody thought it was L’Ombre who dashed out.” Helen, realizing how clever is her prospective husband, throws herself into his arms. Just at this instant liarorl feels the form of the girl stiffen with terror, and secs through the window a face. Then he sees a figure creep snake-like into the room. It is no other than L’Ombre himself. Then L’Ombre speaks. My time is short.” says he. I should by right drill a hole through you. But Sacrbleu! I need money! I will spare your life on but one condition: You will hand over to me all the hardware which you obtained in my guise. Besides this you will give me $500,000.” Half a million.” cries liarorl, as if his cars did not record the words of the other. Half a million? Why, I have not even a thousand of my own. I fear you must shoot, L’Ombre.” L’Ombre pulls down the safety of his automatic. No, no, no, no!” screams Helen, terrified, My father is rich. I will buy his life. Here is the money. And she hurriedly takes from a safe bonds amounting to the specified ransom. L’Ombre. bowing low, says. I thank you.” And quickly quits the room. liarorl clasps the shouldering girl in his arms for II minutes and then he whispers. I must go at once to the police station and inform the authorities of this outrage.” You can’t.” replies the girl, “you are no better than he is.” The muscles of the man grow rigid, but when he speaks his voice is calm. Hel, I must go forever. I cannot look you in the face again. I am not worthy of you. I will pay the money back sometime. Goodbye. This time, for good.” He departs, leaving the girl looking moodily at the rows of books opposite her. But as lie goes, he does not sec the tear in her eye. Outside on the street Harorl again meets L’Ombre. They shake hands. They turn and walk down the street arm in arm. It worked to a perfection.” says L’Ombre, and if it comes off in the next three towns as good as it did in the last three—why—we’ll be multimillionaires, kid! Harorl laughs gleefully, as the two brothers hurry down the street with one-half million dollars locked in the small black satchel which they carry between them.—JAMESON. Page seventy-six Hcrlig.

This is the second year of the Student Council, a representative hodv of students having a voice in the administration of West High School. A better understanding and a closer relationship between the faculty and students thus brought about have been productive of much good. Many an entanglement has been straightend out satisfactorily to the principal and the students concerned. The responsibility resting upon the Student Council has been felt this year by its members, as shown by the attendance at meetings and the careful and serious consideration given questions coming before them. Among the progressive acts of the Student Council, is the establishment of the student general information and help bureau, known as the Student Office. The Student Office relieves the General Office of much work and makes the students mutually helpful by giving to one another such information or assistance as desired. That which will be considered the biggest piece of work, is the organization of plans for the acquirement by West High of an athletic field. Conditions were not such as to make practical the accomplishment of this feat this year; but the Student Council, recognizing the need of having the foresight, believes that plans ought to be made at once for the securing of such property as would be needed to complete the ideal site, back of our present building, and to secure funds for the completion of this natural stadium. Such is the work done by the Student Council. Andrew Hakkenson, President. EC 30 Page seventy-seven Page seventy-eight Joylyn. Schloss. McLain, Kelly, Schallcr, Niles. McLaughlin. Pidgeon.

To create, maintain, and extend, high standards of Christian character, thruout the school and community. In other words, to help ourselves, and the other fellow, to he the right kind of fellows in the school and community, is the purjjose of the “Y” Club. Whether or not we have fulfilled this aim is to l e determined by others, rather than ourselves. We will at least say that we have tried. The “V club, an organization for Junior and Senior boys, is a club that should reach every upper-class fellow in the school. From a standpoint of character, there is no fellow, either so good or so bad. that the “Y club will not put him on its roll. The basis on which the club is founded is such that a chance is offered for mutual l encfit. As has been said of us, we are not a bunch of angels with wings, but simply a bunch of fellows striving for higher ideals; and the fact that one of our number slips a cog now and then is no reason why he should be dropped from the club. In fact, if a fellow makes a break the other members arc ready to give him a boost for the l cttcr. Last fall we were seriously handicapped by the flu epidemic, during the time in which we were organizing, and we were not able to get a good start until the latter part of the year. However, with the able assistance of Mr. Koehler, Dad Tripp, and Clifford Borden, of the Y. M. C. A., we came back strong, and now have one of the largest memberships that the West Club has ever had. Next year the club will be run along slightly different lines. In the past, one secretary of the Y. M. C. A. has shouldered the “Y clubs alone. Next year, each club will have its own secretary who will be responsible to the high school boys' secretary. The West and Central Clubs arc indeed fortunate in having Dad Tripp as their leader. In West, Mr. Tripp will be assisted by Clifford Borden, an alumnus of West and a former Y Club worker. Mr. Borden is a loyal supporter of West and her activities, and so under his leadership, together with that of Mr. Richardson, our faculty adviser, and the competent officers recently elected, the Y Club will certainly be a “top-notch organization next year.

The Tomahawk Club has just completed another successful year. In the spring of 1918, we won, a second time, the cup for debate, presented by the Parents’ and Teachers' Association, but only after one of the closest contests ever held at West. 'I'he plan of having certain topics of current interest presented, together with weekly debates, has been employed. Certain battles of the Great War. the conditions attendant on the Peace Conference, as well as many mechanical and scientific problems have been presented and considered. We have also debated some of the most vital problems before the world today. During the year we have had a series of meetings at the homes of the members, believing that in this way we would obtain a better spirit of fellowship within our group. Our hopes for the future are great. With many problems arising from world reconstruction, the Tomahawk will have ample material for work; and so will undoubtedly remain among West's foremost and indispensable institutions.

Do you call to mind the All-X Club of old. and their well-known activities, or does the picture of the present All-X Club, seemingly dead, pass your vision. In nine cases out of ten, the latter is your thought. But we of the All-X Club, are not dead, in fact we object most strenuously to being so described. If you remember, the All-X Club was organized by us fellows, to push the war interests of Cncle Sam in the school. We succeeded, there is no doubt alxnit that. Then peace was declared, and with it came the slump in the field of activities for our club. The question next came to our minds: “What branch of school activities shall we take up this term?” For a long time we were undecided. We even considered disbanding. But finally we decided to take part in all school activities, not necessarily as a club, and to do away with the extensive self-advertising we had carried on the previous year. And we have not failed in our purjx se. hive of our men are members of the Student Council. Seven of our members have letters won in various branches of athletics. Three of us are officers in class organizations. The editor of the Hesperian and the president of the W. II. A. A. are members of our club.

The club functions, of course, as a collateral and extension of the Physics Department; and most of the members of the club are physics or chemistry students who possess special ability, or at least an intelligent interest, in one or more of the subjects which come under the general head of engineering. 'I'he activities of the members, both past and present, outside of the club, show that the experiments carried out by the club do not merely serve as “hobbies or amusements for the members; but are a real help, producing enthusiasm, and stimulating systematic study in those who are adaptable to practical scientific work. The value of the club in this direction has been clearly shown in the past two years of war. when members leaving as privates returned as commissioned officers and lectured the club on the branch which they had chosen in the service. This was especially true in radio work, some in a few months becoming instructors. who had obtained their training and technical knowledge in the West High wireless room. After an unusually late start, interest in the club work was brought speedily to a climax by a number of interesting speakers; including former club members and scientific men from several fields. An electric furnace was built by the club; and pictures were taken for the Hesperian by the photography section. “High frequency and radio work were, of course, among the subjects discussed. The club is. however, far from approaching the limit of its possibilities; and the graduating officers and members can only wish that those who follow will carry out more successfully the Engineers’ Club purposes, and derive a greater benefit from its opportunities.

The Script, a new organization at West this year, is one of the few clubs in school whose membership is based on honor and merit. Our purpose is to study creative writing, to improve our own and to furnish material for West's publications. The membership is limited to seventeen. At the end of each term, tryouts will be held to fill vacancies caused by the graduation of members. Any l� Senior, A or 15 Junior or A Sophomore, is eligible for the test of meml er-ship. All contributions will he placed in the hands of competent judges, who will decide the winners. The authors of the best prose or poetry will, after proj� er initiation, be considered full members of the Script. Several meetings have been held during the past term, both in school and at the homes of various members. These gatherings have been made interesting by the study of different forms of writing, both poetry and prose, and by criticism of our own original work. When we organized last fall, we were rather uncertain and slow in getting started, but we are here now and we are here to stay.

The chief purpose of the Spanish Club is to promote an interest in and a knowledge of not only the language itself, but also the history, life, and customs of Spanish speaking countries. Membership is not limited to those who are studying Spanish in school, but is open to all students who are interested in the language. The club has met about once in every four weeks since its organization, and varied programs have been given, sometimes by members of the club and at other times by people from outside. These programs have consisted of music, short plays, dialogues, or talks about Spain or the other countries where Spanish is spoken. Whether these programs have been presented by ourselves or by others, we feel that we have gained considerable, and have developed both the ability to understand Spanish anil to speak it more fluently and more easily. Plans are now being made to close the year by a joint meeting with the Spanish clubs of the other Minneapolis High Schools. Martha Bartlett, Secretary. Page eighty-four French Club Lurci-.

The meetings which have been held once a month, have been exceedingly helpful and interesting. At the April meeting M. Catel, a French officer,.now attending the l of M.. sjx)ke to us. both in French and English. The stories he told were all the more interesting as he himself wrote them. Several pupils have taken part in these meetings, thus learning to entertain in French as well as in English. Last spring the club did a great deal of war relief work. Besides continuing the support of our French orphan. Paulette Lemaire, 300 undergarments were made and old clothing collected for refugee children in France. A comedy, “L'Anglais tel qu on le Parle was given by the students of the French department. The club gave $5.00 to the Red Cross and $20 to the Industrial School of Paris. May 12, 1019. the 3rd annual flower sale of the French department was held. Under the splendid management of Harriet George, the sale was decidedly a success, the proceeds amounting to $57. $36.50 of this money is to be given to our orphan. Paulette Lemaire, whom we have supported for three years. Doubtless the club will decide to give the balance of the flower sale money for reconstruction work in France. The speaker of the May meeting was Harold Purdy, a former West student, who has just returned from two years’ service overseas. His study of French enabled him to tell us in French of his experiences during the war. We who have had the advantages of the French Club for the past three years, realize its value to French students, and we advise all who are studying French to become active members of the club, and continue in tile future to keep the French Club of West High a live organization.

Mr. Earl Baker—Vacuity Leader. The Glee Club is an organization from which more is heard than from any other organization in school, except of course, the Rooters Club. This year we have an organization of which we are justly proud. Never before has the club been better balanced, and better able to carry on its work. Our labors this year have consisted chiefly in the production of the Chimes Of Normandy. which was termed, splendid, tuneful, musical singing, such as we like to hear more frequently. by a prominent musical critic. We feel that the efforts expended by the club and Mr. Baker, in putting on this opera, were repaid by the hearty appreciation that we received from the school. The proceeds from the two performances of the opera arc to go toward a pipe-organ for the school. Marjorie Dreher. who took the part of Germaine, (the heroine) played and sang her role with the ease and grace of a veteran; Francis Pond, taking the part of Henri, (the hero) played his part well; Louise Nagel and Genevieve Naegele, who alternated in the part of Serpolette, are to be congratulated for the way they conquered this difficult role; Sam Sutherland, with his wonderful voice, made a real hit with the part of Gaspard (the old miser); Colbert Searles made a good Grenicheu (the cowardly villain); Don Bostwick made a typical Balli and Milton Huber brought down the house as the Notary. Although all of this year’s soloists are in the graduating class, the club seems to have much promising material for some fine work next year, and the retiring officers wish next year’s club all the success possible.

Under the leadership of Mr. Earl I laker, the orchestra has learned to play with a greater conception of the musical qualities to be found in such works as Grieg’s “Peer Gynt Suite. A feature of the music has been the interpretation and analysis given to each new piece of music by Mr. Baker. The biggest and best thing done by the orchestra this year was the score to the Chimes of Normandy.” It was played in the manner that would do credit to a more experienced professional orchestra. The orchestra has found two new musicians this- year. Paul Stoess, a newcomer, has shown that he is a violinist of greater ability than we have had in the orchestra for quite a while. Lathan Crandall, has developed a tone on the cello that has been a great help in our string quartet. Two members of the orchestra are members of the Minneapolis Musicians’ Association, and are holding down professional jobs evenings, so that we think the work of the orchestra is practical in every sense of the word. The coming year we are to have an olxic, double bass, trombone, mello-phone and viola, so that if the orchestra has been somewhat short in its instrumentation this year, this fault will be remedied, and we shall have a bigger and better orchestra that will make the school sit up and take notice.

The Daubers Club is still in its childhood, as it was originated but last year, by Helen Melrose and Dorothy Nelson, two active art students who wished to have a greater opportunity to do sketching than offered in the arts course. By now. however, it is quite a lusty child, for it has a regular attendance of twenty-five wide awake members and six valuable honorary members. The honorary members consist of graduates of the school. The work is composed of cartooning, sketching, illustrating and pose work. From time to time art educators give interesting talks, supplemented by sketches or lantern slides. Sketches have been made of members of the school in appropriate costumes, which later help in making posters. With the growing list of honorary members, it is hoped that the club will prove to he an important factor, not only in West High school life, but in the city of Minneapolis. We wish to express our deep appreciation to Miss Rees and Miss Willard for the helpful interest they have taken in the club. Florence Knox, Secretary. Ainsworth, Chamber . H.

Club lias grown and improved, until now in its sixth year it is one of the largest and best known organizations in West. The purpose of this club of Junior and Senior girls, is to promote friendliness and good feeling throughout the school and maintain high standards and ideals. Although the work this year has been rather irregular for various reasons, we feel that much has been accomplished. The club has been re-organized so that we may co-operate with the Y. W. C. A. and receive from it the benefits of its long experience with girls. The club has profited greatly by its advice, and we hope for still greater success. Throughout the year, interesting as well as instructive programs have been given; and numerous social events, arranged by the social committee, have been enjoyed by the club members. Among other accomplishments of the club, which deserve mention here, was the making for the Red Cross of a patch work quilt, upon which every member worked diligently. Also the refurnishing of the girls' rest room, which was greatly in need of attention. The money for this purpose was raised by a candy sale and also an exhibition of simple styles for school girls.

The affair was pulled off by the W. H. A. A. under the able management of President Robert Gambill. The guests of honor were Mayor J. E. Myers, Superintendent B. B. Jackson. Mr. I.. McWhorter, Mr. J. Wilbur Jones, the man who turned out two cham- pionship teams in one season last spring. Coach I). C. Mitchell and the members of the 1918 football Squad. Many peppy speeches were on the program after a sumptuous dinner. During the course of the meal, the team withdrew to another room and elected Tom Ycrxa, veteran tackle, to captain West’s 1919 gridiron rep- resentatives. Clarence Bros, in behalf of the members of the eleven, presented “Mitch” with a “W” sweater. Soon after they had posed for Hibbard, the camera man. the party adjourned to the girls’ gym. where the remainder of the evening was taken up with dancing to the jazz of Milt Huber's Orchestra Supreme. Page ninety-seven XMEEX -A. Senior 2)ance The Senior Class lias enjoyed two peppy dances during the past semester, the first on the evening of February 28. and the second on May 2. Both were pulled off in the girls' gvm and just the right sized crowds attended. Dickinson's Jazz Band furnished the music at the first dance and kept the pep of the crowd up during the evening. Punch was served on this occasion. The feature of the good time of May 2. was the A-Xo. 1. jazz of Squyers’ orchestra, a six-piece professional outfit. Some forty .or more couples one-stepped and fox-trotted to the strains of Jazz Baby, Down East, Arabian Nights, and numerous other popular pieces. During the course of the evening, amid volleys of pistol shots, an attempt was made to take a flashlight picture of the party for the llesp.. but luck was against the photographer and no results were attained, except the excitement and novelty of the attack. The success of the party was due to the management of John Todd. K. r.-y Club Part? In spite of two previous attempts, the fourth annual U. C.-Y. Banquet was finally held Tuesday evening. April 29th, in the school lunch room. After a hearty dinner had been “done away with by the crowd. Vim” Hcegaard. starting out with an antique anecdote of uncertain origin, introduced Don Bostwick as the first sjieakcr. Don made an earnest appeal for more co-oj era-tion between the two clubs and extended a welcome to the t . C. girls on liehalf of the V Club, file next speaker was Charlotte Keyes, who told of the work of the I . C. Club during the preceding year. Miss Caplin, the girls' adviser, and Clifford S. Borden, of the Y. M. C. A., were also on the program. “Cliff also made a plea for co-o| eration between the two clubs. 'To wind up the program. Harold Purdy, who had recently returned from France, where he was with an Ambulance I’nit. gave a modest exposition of the various medals and insignia which he was wearing. To break the monotony of a long list of speakers. Gladys Kcpner and Hazel Moren each gave two recitations, imposing in most cases ui on the crowd’s sense of humor. After the talks were over, everybody adjourned to the girls gym. Here the greatest attraction of the evening was located, namely, a good floor and an impromptu jazz orchestra. After dancing for about an hour and a half, the crowd dispersed to their divers and sundry homes and studies (?), each one of the one hundred and eightv-two jxioplc claiming to have had a “corking good time. sc I’agc ninety-right xSBZX 1918 Party The Barge Party, given last year on Friday, June 14th. was the grand and glorious finish of all West High social events for that term. The day was ideal—sunshiny and cool. The crowd gathered on the dock in St. Paul, every Jack with his Jill, carrying a lunch basket instead of the proverbial pail. The barge started about twelve-thirty and went down the river as far as Hastings, where it made an hour's stop. There were very few who did not leave the barge to give I Iastings the once over in the time allowed before starting back. Most of the time on board was delightfully spent in dancing, strolling the decks, or sitting in the cool, shady nooks to view the passing scenery. The barge docked again in St. Paul at eleven o'clock, at the end of “a perfect day.” 194 9 I Page ninety-nine yftar? Hane s “Mary Jane’s Pa,” the three-act comedy presented by the Seniors of June, 1919, proved to be a fortunate choice. The play is well suited to amateur production, because of the large number of excellent roles, the interesting plot, and the well worked out theme. It has, moreover, that essential of essentials— humor. With such a play and such a cast as that furnished by the June, T9 class, there was no doubt of success. Colin Joslyn had a rarely difficult task for a high school lx y, in being for an evening a man of maturity and travel, whose inheritance and experience have almost made him bitter, but not quite. And the remarkable thing was that he actually accomplished this task with an ease which astonished even his most faithful admirers. Gladys Kepner was a joy to the most bored class play goer. She was in herself that most unusual of stage characters, the real ingenue —freshness of charm and youth incarnate in the child, Mary Jane. Hazel Morcn. as Mary Jane’s Ma. and Phyllis Lampson. as Mary Jane’s big sister Lucille, endeared themselves to the audiences as “real folks. whom it would be a pleasure to know in real life. Frank Roos as Rome Preston, won the pity of the audience, even if he did not win the hand of Portia. George Friedman, who took the part of Barrett Sheridan, proved himself just the man to rescue Lucille from the humdrum of life in the small town of Gosport. Local color, as well as the element of comedy of the play, was supplied by the village characters. The part of Miss Faxon, the village milliner, was played admirably by Catherine Davis. Edith. Ballwcbber “clocutcd eloquently” as Ivy Wilcox, the village l ellc. John Todd, Eugene Merryfield (with the accent on the “Merry”) and Edwin Adamson as Lcwellyn Green, “our young friend with a sense of humor.” proved themselves quite capable of running the printshop of Perkins the Printer. and of defending Mis' Perkins, whenever occasion required. Donald Bostwick, as Joel Skinner, gave a splendid impersonation of a small town politician. Star Skinner, as played by Henry Xiles. created a sensation whenever he appeared. Henry modestly disclaims the title of star in this all-star cast, but he at least sees the “stars, thanks to the healthy swing of the modest Lucille. Claude Whitcomb, who hates “to miss the 2:15 freight. played by Alfred Perlman, made all the young ladies in the audience eager to be favored by one of his New Year’s calls. Harold Lees, as Link Watkins, quite melted the audience bv his frequent appearances in his fur coat. He seemed rather warm himself most of the time. Welles Gray, as Amos Whipple, gave Joel Skinner excellent support in his attack on Mis’ Perkins. I’agc one hundred X«HSX The success of the play was the result of splendid work on the part of the cast and also on the part of those who staged the performance. Mr. South-worth. with the assistance of Mr. M. R. Libby and Mr. Guy Lander, and the manual training classes, constructed the scenery for Acts 1 and 111. and the furniture of Act II. including the presses used in Act II. Miss Rees and her classes designed and painted the scenery for Act 1. while Miss Willard and her classes did the same for Act III. The play was coached for its very successful presentations by Miss Penney and Mr. Kloepfer, and managed by Orrin Corwin. The funds raised were invested in the class memorial.

Page one hundred one 3une, 1918 'I'he West High School has never so thoroughly and beautifully welded all its own elements of faculty and students into an enthusiastic working unit, and so put itself in touch with the community, the city, and the state, as in its pageant of June 12, 1918. Time, the mysterious organizer, has removed all traces of weariness, necessarily attendant upon that day, and the confusion, resulting from the hundreds of participants in the scene, to say nothing of the spectators—and has left us only memories of a golden day, a wooded amphitheater of delicate June loveliness, and a passing show of youth in allegory, all pervaded by a meaning and a spirit so fine and high that it makes us catch our breath even now, nearly a full twelfth-month from the event. Too much credit cannot Ik given to the work of Mr. Parsons and Miss Orton, who produced verse of real merit and beauty in an incredibly short space of time, upon the imperious and anxious demand of the harassed committee in charge of general arrangements. And their work is typical in its tirelessness and enthusiasm of that offered on every hand by teachers and clubs in the school, and individuals of the school and community. The theme of the pageant, that opportunity finds its natural corollary in service, was never better illustrated than in the production of that same pageant. At this distance also certain characters stand out from the ensemble. The Liberty of Julia Putiutni. of the class of January. 1918, was a stately and gracious interpretation and most satisfying. Margaret MacLeod made a stirring Star of the North; Myles Nelson invested his Spirit of Education with a fine dignity. But these, no’more than each of all the many others, played their parts that day with a spirit that records the event high in the annals of W est High School. And last, when shadows fell and bird notes ceased,” those sun-kissed boys and girls and fathers and mothers all trooi cd within doors to see the last scene of all. played out in a way that sent bored yawns of stereotype commencement programs a-glimmering. To have had so fine a spirit for one long summer's day, even through the twilight, is not to be easily forgotten by those who worked or watched. 0[ Page one hundred two =X AH SX: T5 )i Student Office MANAGING BOARD FALL TERM '18 Henry Niles William Heegaard Hazel Moren Muriel Frelander Torvald Ueland Charlotte Keyes Coralyn VVallar Uniting eight different SPRING TERM Coralyn Wallar Frank Pond Robert Gambill Karl Witt Archie Jameson 19 branches of school activities under one head, the Student Office has turned out to he one of the most worth while improvements of the Student Council this year.

Iff TZilitar? Draining at Wist Military training in the schools is not intended to consist solely of carrying a rille or executing squads right. Carrying a ride and close order drill are necessary, but they arc a very small part of the whole scheme. Some of the things desired to be brought about by this training arc, strong physically fit boys; sincere love for, and loyalty to our country and dag; loyalty to the school and its activities; morale and discipline that recognizes authority without question or argument; initiative and leadership, so that the boy or man can be called on, and relied on, should any emergency require these qualities; self-respect, backed up by conduct which warrants it; a spirit of obedience, whereby a boy will promptly and cheerfully carry out the request of his parents and teachers, or the commands of his officers, or development of a good carriage and gait instead of a slouch and shufde: proper respect for the laws of the country and city, and the regulations and customs of the school; manliness, and the ability to give and take by fair means only; to be neat, clean and orderly; to make all boys good citizens of the United States only. The West High Battalion of cadets was inspected by Lt.-Colonel C. R. Lewis, Regular Army, and the showing made was very good indeed. The school should be proud of its cadets, and the cadets proud of themselves. The officer detailed as Military Instructor, is proud of the cadets and the school, and while he may feci that to some extent he helped put over a good inspection, he knows that the “principal argument in the case” was the hard, earnest work of the cadets during the past months—together with the hearty support given the military department by the school officials. Let’s have 300 cadets in the battalion next year! William S. McWade, Captain, Infantry, U. S. Army. Page one hundred five xC«hs = ira Obc War Drive As in all other patriotic enterprises, the students of West High came across strong in the 1919 War Chest Drive. The amount allotted for West to raise, was $8,500, and in order to raise this amount the Student Council appointed Andrew Bakkenson at the head of the boys' drive and Charlotte Keyes to head the girls. Under these leaders the teams raised $7,500 in the first three days of the campaign, and went “over” far ahead of the other high schools. Before attempting the campaign, the school was systematically organized so that each boy and girl in the school might be reached. Colonel Bakkenson appointed as his Majors. Don Bostwick and Vim Heegaard; these fellows each appointed three captains, who in turn chose their teams of ten men. Colonel Keyes had as her Majors, Adelaide Leighton. Helen McGregor. Verna Hall-strom, Ruth Merritt and Meaunena Smith. In addition to handling the drive in the school, a group under Walter Briggs solicited all of the grade schools of the West district. The grade schools subscribed $3,600 in two days, which was far above all expectations. West au6 tb Victor? TCoan When the people of the United States were called on to lend their money to the government for the last time, in the Victory Loan, the students of West High, in accordance with their custom, pledged themselves to do their part. West was second among the high schools of the city in obtaining pledges. Thirty-four per cent of the students pledged. East led the schools of the city, but West was a close second. Miss Brigham’s advisory group was highest in the school as 88% of them subscribed. Mr. Chandler’s and Miss Hubachek’s were a close second and third. The schools of the city gave 14,778 pledges, and West can feel she did her part to finish the war job. 13) 3fc$pcrlan Drive Hunchback” Hugo, the “i ep inspirator of the 1919 Hesperian subscription drive, took the school by storm in a special auditorium period. March —. The result of the week’s campaign, which followed the play, was a record-breaking total of subscribers, numbering well over 1.100. The farce. “Hunchback Hugo’s Heritage,” was one long drawn out dash of pep and laughs from the time the curtain aviated till “Mac said, Lass to your advisers.” Archie Jameson, as the poor Hunchback, hunched like a professional; went crazy as if he was well versed in the art, and fought cops like a dime novel hero. He did so well in fact, that before the end of the play. Sue (Nadine Evers), the heroine, was up in arms against him. Sue got away with the sob stuff in the court scene famously, and she didn’t even blush when the hero began to get personal. Maurice Mazuma. alias Welles Gray, villained like a “vet.” Charlie Chaplin never received a pic with such relish, as Welles cuddled up against the pic in the robbery scene. Other stars were Frank Roos and Bob Gambill. as the rival spitfire attorneys; Barry Collins, as Frank Furter, the Mayor, and Walter Briggs, as Judge Josiah J. Judkins. The play was written and produced by Henry C. Xiles. Page one hundred six Weekly Staff Kaufman. Mitchell. Smith. Schloss. Thill. I’erry Wilds. Fairbanks. Tborvilson. Goldberg. Nolan.

While it is true that every class should have an ideal memory of itself to which its members may look back in after years with loving recollection, and while our class can see no exception to this in the heartfelt loyalty and pride of its members, it is also true, and especially true at West, that loyalty to. and desire for the welfare of our school has always overshadowed class spirit, no matter how loyal it may be. Our class has many memories in which it takes peculiar pride and many accomplishments of its members in which it delights, but perhaps nothing can be said of it more pertinently than that it is joined with all other classes of West in loyally upholding the school standards, both of scholarship and of living. As we go into a different experience awaiting us. we will bear this memory with us with a gratitude to West for the pleasing recollections and the training it has given us. Walter Harris, President. I’agc one hundred ten “Executive 35oard Moore. Clark Grime , Hitmens, Hall The B Seniors had time only to organize in their A Junior year, but have started on the B and A Senior journey full of spirit and enthusiasm. The class is rather small as is true of almost every January class. A number of the members of the class made up their work and are to be graduated in the June Senior class. The first party the B Seniors gave was a dance. Xow we are planning for our second party, which will probably be a banquet or a picnic. Looking forward to a very promising A Senior year, the Class of January. 1920. makes its debut into the Hesperian. Irene Mullen, Secretary. Page one hundred eleven KC4HS Class of Hanuar?, 19 OFFICERS MILLER SOMERRY DOWD JACOBSEN (President) (Vice-President) (Secretary) iTreasurer) The Class of January. 1919. feels proud of its record as A Seniors, particularly on account of the extraordinary spirit exhibited by the group, one of the smallest ever graduated from West, in leaving a memorial to the boys in service. Although conditions prevented a class play or even a big Senior dance, by which to raise funds for such a memorial, the members of January 1919, numbering less than eighty, finally secured the necessary funds by individual subscription in the class. We. the members of the Mid-Year Class of 1919, presented the tablet to the school, as a tribute to all of West’s men who served I’ncle Sam. and in special memory of those who died in the khaki. We did not give the tablet as a memorial to our class, but only as a monument to perpetuate the names of West's war heroes: we desire no personal expression of appreciation, but only that the memorial, in its permanent position in the Auditorium, will ever be a reminder of what thoughts and expressions of appreciation, we owe to “our boys” who gave their all. The class of January T9 passes on. out of the portals and activities of West, with a feeling of satisfaction, that we have done something to repay in our small way. West's heroes of 1918. Don Miller, President. 0[ Page one hundred twelve Executive %oar6 CrcgR, Pond Kerr. Herman. Archer In spite of the fact that an epidemic hampered the activities of the Class of January, 1919, which graduated in December. 1918. it was not lacking in school spirit. The most successful social event was the class banquet to which most of the entire class turned out. The usual A Senior Dance had to be given up because of the epidemic. It was a great disappointment to the class that it was unable to present a class play. However, thru individual contributions of the members of the class, a large tablet in honor of the boys from West, who were in the service, was presented as a memorial. The epidemic also, interfered with the graduation exercises. The class which is called the Class of January, 1919, should proj erly be called the Class of December. 1918. for it was on December 15. 1918, that the graduation exercises were held. As church services were the only public gatherings j ermitted at that time, the members of the class received their diplomas at the baccalaureate service at St. Mark's Church. The sermon was preached by Dr. Freeman. The girls of the class showed good judgment in wearing dark dresses for graduation. They set an example for future mid-year graduation classes to follow.

First, that you leave West High School animated by a definite and altruistic purpose toward life; that your dreams and ambitions for the life that you are to live shall embrace nothing that is petty, mean, or provincial, but shall have an all human scope in their bigness. Second, that you will never lose the human touch; that education ami success shall but serve to make you more sympathetic, more tender, more kindly to those about you who are less fortunate than yourselves. In short, that you will live a life enriched by a spirit of unselfish contributiveness to the world, is the best wish that I can make for you. CHARLES R. RICHARDSON. My Dear Senior Friends: Your j criod in West High has been coincident with the greatest struggle in the history of mankind. You have given generously of your time, your comfort and your money to aid those who have been most actively engaged in this struggle. It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to work with you in the various enterprises the school has undertaken to aid in the cause of justice and humanity. My close association with many of you from the time you entered high school has given me a very great interest in the class and the work it has accomplished in the past four years. Your opportunities for service have ! een greater than those of any other class that has been graduated from West High, and it is a matter of great pride to me that you have shown yourselves equal to the unusual tasks set for you. The ready response to these many demands has enlarged your vision and increased your capacity for service. As you take up your life work. I shall watch with the keenest interest to see how you meet and solve the problems of life, and be assured my sincere wish is that you may be both prosperous and happy. Cordially, Page one hundred twenty-three =xC«STX Officers JOSLYX HALLSTROM LEIGHTON TODI) (President) (Vice-President) (Secretary) (Treasurer) With the close of every successive school year, a group of young people leaves the portals of West High to enter into new activities and to occupy new positions in life. Some enter the universities and colleges to continue the training which will fit them for the life work they have selected: others take up positions in the business world and shoulder the full responsibilities of the business man or woman. But regardless of where they go. or what they intend to do. there is always a place of tenderness deep within their hearts for the good times and the school life they have enjoyed here at dear old West High. And so it is that we. the Senior Class of June. 1919, leave forever, as students, the familiar haunts of West. After four long years of work, in which we have pulled together and well for the best interests of all branches of school activities, we arc leaving, and it is with the most ardent desire that, tho gone, we shall not be forgotten, and that our absence will leave a vacancy in school life which will be felt by those of you who are to remain. As we look back over our activities for the past four years, we find nothing for which to be ashamed, nothing we should desire to cover up. We need not mention the things we have so successfully accomplished; they stand out preeminently as exemplary monuments in the history of West. And now, tho we leave the school, we shall not forget the large part it has played in our lives, and no matter how confidently and gladly we leave on June 19, it shall be with a tender sjx t in our heart for the school we leave behind us. Senior Class of June, 1919, Colin Joslyx, President. SC DS Page one hundred twenty-four Cxccutivc 35oar6 Bostwick. Furuholmcn Merrill. Keyes. MacRac When anyone says to an A Senior. “How does it happen that yen are going to have four Senior ‘affairs’ this last term?” We all grin and say “Flu.” Then when they stare in blank amazement ( why is amazement always blank?), we hasten to explain that last term we were not able to have even one party because of our enforced vacations. Now we arc making up for it. And don’t we feel big, grown-up and “Seniory.” Our first dance was a real success, and was worthy of the class that calls themselves A Seniors. There were about seventy couples there. The A Seniors set aside Hesperian day as the famous Bum’s Day, when everyone forgot their dignity and were kids” again. It is to the everlasting credit of the class that there was no rowdyism or anything hut the best conduct shown. The second Senior dance was a repetition of the success of the first. The class play, “Mary Jane’s Pa.” was the biggest thing undertaken by the class. Before we leave we will have two more Senior functions to our credit, and also Class Day and an interesting commencement week. Thus the June Class of 1919. leaves its heritage of good times.

Page one hundred fifty-two ATHLETICS' WEST WINS ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP West won another championship today when the Tiddlcwinking team gained a hard fought victory over Anoka High. This game was undoubtedly the most thrilling of the season, the score being 0 to 0 up until the fourth half, when the greater endurance of our men prevailed, and they chalked up one point. Coach Coher says, “To me the game of Tiddlewinks contains more possibilities for developing the player than any other game with which I aiii acquainted. Football is good, too, but one is liable to get hurt. Tiddlewinks sharpens the wit and finger nails, strengthens the muscles and ribs, develops initiative and the mustache, and improves the digestion. Art Hyde, captain of the team says, “If every fellow comes out early ne?;t fall. West should again win the Twin City Championship. Remember. West Wins. Every fellow out for Tiddlewinks!” WHAT IF? 1. What if the Seniors were allowed a dance every Friday evening? 2. What if in the lunchroom they served “Bcvo instead of ice cream to lessen the traffic at the corners? 3. What if Miss Watts passed out gum before beginning each class? 4. What if there were a large play-ground with teeter-totters, merry-go-rounds, and nurse-maids for the Freshics? 5. What if Mr. McWhorter appeared in ”.302 once a week to tell the Seniors how wonderful they were? 6. What if West High sent out Green and White limousines to get the pupils in the morning and to take them away again in the afternoon? 7. What if Harold Lees never attempted to “experiment” in chemistry? 8. What if there were elevators? 9. What if every morning the “third hour class” were passed into the Auditorium where we would be entertained by an act from the Orpheum? 10. What if 302 were changed to a great lounging-room where we might spend vacant periods? 12. What if Frank Roos never did anything funny when occasion demanded his presence upon the stage before the assembly? Page one hundred fifty-three BC= EX WHS X Page one hundred fifty-four ' SX Ufow to be a Success at Crack (Not a motion picture.) General Advice: To be a successful track man. you must have three things—sound teeth, a good working knowledge of the game “Drop the Handkerchief.” and above all, short hair. Long hair increases the wind resistance when running, and consequently decreases your speed. Remember, the race does not always go to the swift. Instead of speed try to cultivate a winning personality. If you will learn to smile pleasantly when nearing the finish tape, the judges will be attracted by your pleasant nature, will not notice the other runners, and as a result award you first place. Now as to food. Eat a plate of ice cream every day. Try mixing ice cream, gently heated, with Toasted Corn Flakes (none genuine without the signature) and feed to the dog. It is very effective and is practiced by all track athletes. Listen to this letter from I. Blubber, the champion hurdler of Iceland: Dear Sir: This is to certify that I prepared your famous concoction and fed it to all members of the track team except myself. The next day I took first place in all events. Signed. I. BLUBBER. (Himself) How to Run the Mile We may as well be frank, in starting out. and say that running the mile successfully depends upon deception. This is what you must do. After running around seven laps, the judges at the side will hold up three fingers, meaning that you have three more laps to go. Now listen attentively to this. When you see their three fingers held tip. shake your head in reproval and hold up one finger. The judges will then think they have made a mistake in counting, and will apologize. You will then merely run one more lap, and will win because the rest will be running three. How to High Jump Everything in the high jump depends upon a strong spring. You must get one, preferably from a Big Ben. and conceal it in your shoe. The rest is simple. How to Run the Hundred Yard Dash The winning of this depends also on deceit. You know that it a runner jumps the gun three times in starting, he is disqualified. Very well. The starter will pronounce the formula “On your mark, get set.” As soon as he finishes the words, “get set” you must shout quietly, but firmly. “Bang!” The other runners will think it is the gun and start. The starter will call them back. Do this same trick three times. The other entrants will be disqualified and you win in a walk. How to Put the Shot Before coming to the meet, buy yourself a rubber ball, the same size as the shot. (To find the size of the shot, find its radius, square it. and multiply by 4 pic.) When you are ready to put the shot, substitute the rubber ball for the regular shot, and throw it as far as you can. Everyone will be amazed at your great strength. If it bounces, and the judges look suspiciously at you, merely iaugh carelessly and quote some appropriate saying. This little ruse was practiced with success by the Abbysinian delegate to the Olympic games held at Anoka. The judges to this day do not know how he made such a record. How to Run the High Hurdles This is a difficult event to run. If the high hurdles were only low, it would be different. However, do the best you can. Here is a little tip that is very helpful. DO NOT JUMP OVER THE HURDLES AT ALL. BUT RUN AROUND THEM. The other runners will be too busy jumping over them to notice the deception, and you will get first place. How to Act When You are Awarded the Cup for First Place After the speaker has made his little presentation speech, take the cup from him gracefully with the left hand, at the same time making a well-timed bow. After you have received the cup, turn it over at once to see if it is labeled “sterling” or not on the bottom. If it is not genuine solid silver, refuse to receive it. Insist upon nothing but the best. The best is none too good for you. Finis. Page one hundred fifty-file . To him he save him, hi and hers, But hers he did not sec. But he and her and him saw his.

Page one hundred fifty-nine w X5HZX Page one hundred sixty WHS X: Tamous Correspondence Course of the Slasfyem barber College (Walter C. Briggs.) We arc glad that you have decided to become a barber. The following lessons were carefully prepared by Will Sneeze, the famous hairpin expert, while on a trip through Turkey. North Dakota, and other foreign countries. Read them carefully. If at the end you are so unintelligent as to think that they arc not worth the money, we will be glad to refund your money on receipt of the purchase price. Lesson Number IV. To become a successful barber, you will need the following instruments and paraphernalia: a pair of sharp tin shears, hand embossed, a barrel of Eat de Bolognc, one large pockctbook, a wet towel, a dry towel, (both of the last named articles may be combined in one, by taking a towel, wetting one-half and leaving the other fourth dry) a sharp razor, and last and least, a thorough knowledge of the art of prize lighting, with the history of the leading pugilists, and also the latest dope on the local baseball club. After the above has been secured and paid for, you arc ready to begin. Stand by the door and await your first customer with wide open arms and pockctbook. When lie enters the door frown at him and repeat the multiplication table. (If you do not know it send a self stamped envelope to us and by return mail we will enclose one corrected to February 32, 1919). The customer will gaze at you in wonderment and commend you for your intelligence. Then Lesson Number II. lead him to the chair. If there is any blood on the lloor from the last victim, it might be well to kick it under the rug before you commence operations. If the customer desires a hair cut. carefully cut it off and give it to him as a souvenir. People always appreciate little acts like this. Remember “Do a kindness every day. Never mind what people say. Longfellow. Now take your towel, douse it in chloroform, and lay it over the face. Ask the customer if he would like a shave. Me will reply through the towel, Xoosh.” This means Yes.” Then take out your razor and try to strop it. It will do no good, but looks businesslike. Then remove the towel and commence. Don’t forget to keep up a steady jabber on the history of Ty Cobb and all his relatives, descendants and ancestors. The victim, being under the influence of chloroform, will not groan very much. Some people object to chloroform. If this is the case, pour him a tumbler of the Eat dc Bologne. This never fails. If you believe us ask Ed Pinaud. After you have finished shaving him. wipe away the blood and remove his pocketbook. Then pour a bucket of water over his head to revive him. He will rise from the chair, feeling like a different man. When he starts to put his hand in pocket for money, stop him and say “Never mind about that. I care nothing for money. I merely do my work for the enjoyment I get out of it.” As he starts to leave twist your face into a comical expression. The customer will depart smiling. Let this be the motto of your business—“I try to make my customers depart, smiling.” A smile from out the leaden sky Will soothe the mind and please the eye.” Eli Whitney.

If you arc satisfied and feci that this Hesperian is equal to the high standard set by West High Annuals of the past, we may feel with satisfaction that to some degree, we have accomplished our purpose: namely, to give you “snap ' and plenty of it throughout a truly representative West High Hesperian. Before you close this book and put it away, we thank you heartily for your support and backing in the publication of the 1919 Hesperian. We also take this opportunity to thank every person, who has had anything to do in the making of this book. Of our home talents, every member on the board deserves great credit for the time and labor, which he has spent, and for the results he has achieved in his particular branch of the work. Bruce Weetman, our photographer: Irene Mullen, of the Art Department and Philip Elliott, cartoonist, in particular, have hcljjcd to make this annual what it is. Our advertisers have made this Hesperian possible, and we sincerely trust that you will look over their ads l efore you do your shopping. Miss Marjorie Thill, who secured a big per cent of these ads. was truly a find, and without her, we wonder just how we would have come out. We have done our best and with a feeling of satisfaction for having done so. we make our exit, wishing the 1920 Hesperian Board the best of luck and suggesting that they organize early and get busy at once, to avoid the rush, next spring.

From the day I entered this school of schools, this has been my slogan: Never miss an opportunity, and make one whenever possible, to •peak a word for The American. FLORENCE J. LESSARD. After attending the A. B. C. for about five months the proprietors of the school secured me a position with the Chicago Great Western Ry.. but in a short time I secured a position with a land and investment company at a largely increased salary. Lateron I made a connection with the Fuller Johnson Mfg. Co., with which I am now connected as Branch Manager for the Northwestern territory, with headquarters in Minneapolis. The personal interest and attention shown each student in this school is a very valuable asset. and a strong reason why young people desirous of securing business training should attend this school.

You can become a better banker, a more successful merchant, a compelling salesman, an accurate accountant, a better bookkeeper, stenographer or clerk if you will take a few months’ training in our up-to-date school. AMERICAN BUSINESS COLLEGE 3 West Lake St. Minneapolis There are no word loo strong to express my appreciation of the American Business College and of the training I received there. The interest of the teachers in every student and the personal attention given throughout the entire course is an inspiration to all to do their very best. I have found the training I received in the A. B. C. the cause of every advancement 1 have made, and I can recommend it sincerely and cordially to any one who desires a business education. In my estimation the American Business College is the best business school there is. Its methods urc thorough and of the very best. One of the big things which I found paramount in the American Business College is the individual attention given to each and every student. They certainly live up to everything they say. Again I must say the American Business College has no equal. 100 BERNICE AVELDSON FRED W. WEIDENFELLER AUTOGRAPHS I
