roiNNje vpous public LiettAttV THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION OFTHLGRADUATING CLASSES or WEST HIGH SCHOOL ----MINNEAPOLIS------- DEDICATED I -i ? 4 0 - o To the present and past faculty of West in appreciation of the hours of work and thought so willingly given, to inspire us to attain the highest ideals. H. EiiiU { and Managed fry J. WARD RUCKMAN and I'. DALLAS CORWIN CONTENTS ALBUM Page 9 ORGANIZATIONS 67 ACTIVITIES 85 ATHLETICS 93 LITERATURE 125 FEATURE 131 5 I I.or is N. McWhorter Principal. West High School 6 The Hesperian this year, as always, represents the pupils' jjoint of view in relation to a big school. It is a distinctly valuable contribution to the education of the Principal and faculty. We wouldn’t be without it. At the same time it reflects, I hoj c. some of the standards and ideals we have l ecn trying to develop in the class rooms, the halls, the auditorium and the lunch rooms. The classes of 191(M( 20 will constitute the largest group of young people ever sent out of West High School. I know the teachers are fully aware of the great responsibility involved in preparing for life work so large a number of l oys and girls. I hope and expect that to some degree at least you appreciate and comprehend your own personal, individual and collective responsibility in freeing yourselves from the routine and discipline of the secondary school and either stepping into a more advanced and more intensive course of higher education or finding for yourselves, immediately, a place in the work and interests of the world outside the school. Whatever your plans and your hopes, you take with you the very best regards of your principal and your teachers. That you may enjoy success, happiness, and, l est of all, a place and opportunity to lie of service to America, is our earnest and sincere wish for every one of you. Very truly yours. L. X.

Will there be much difference without from what it was within? Shall you be able to live any more happily with yourselves for the rest of your lives or l e letter able to contribute to the happiness of the whole from your experience in this senior advisory? When you release your energy, brain power and heart to solve the problems that confront you as a unit of the whole outside the walls, may the same fine spirit of co-operation, fair play, and following the rules of the game which you have exhibited within bear abundant fruit. A MAX DA St-NDKAN. Freshmen conic and seniors go. But we teach on forever. Because the above i true, our parting words have alxnit the same ring year after year. Xot that we love you less but because the hope that we cherish for every generation of seniors does not vary a great deal. That you will be honest, kind, purposeful, that you will be alive to the sweetness as well as the bitterness of life, that time shall but serve to make you more keenly conscious of your responsibility to yourself and to your fellow men is the hope that we have for you and every generation of seniors who pass out from the portals of West High School. Sincerely. Ciiari.es R. Richardson. 11 ALTHOUGH we are but one of the many classes to leave West High, we feel that in many respects we are entirely different from the majority of classes. In point of numbers we are the largest class ever graduated from West. Socially we have done much to put the social life of the school Lack upon its former standing. As one of our interested parents said, “The Senior class of June '20 is the most democratic group of young people I have ever seen. In athletics we have not been as successful as some former classes, but those who attended the football, basketball and baseball games came away at least with the feeling of having witnessed a team that was capable of hard fighting, hard working, and game sportsmanship. In short, our class has been composed of a good all around crowd and although many of us will come together at the “U” next year, we shall miss the times when we were all assembled at one of our jazz auditoriums, at one of our parties, or at one of our athletic contests tip at West. EMERHINE JACOBSEN, President. JACOBSEN, MACGREGOR, TlNGDALE, WILLIAMS 12 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The June Senior Class met on November 4. 1919, to organize and to elect officers. Emerhinc Jacobsen was elected president, with Helen MacGregor as vice-president, Mildred Tingdale as secretary, and Ralph Williams as treasurer. The members elected to the executive ! oard were Dallas Corwin, Archie Jameson, Elizabeth Shattuck. Clara Luger and Helen Blakely. Our class has had several very successful affairs. At the “Who's Who party, given March 12, a large majority of the class was represented, as was the case also at the All-Senior dance given by the Parents and Teachers' Association on March 19. The annual class picnic was held June 14 at Spring Park. Probably the most difficult affair that the class attempted was the staging of the play, “The Lion and the Mouse, which was presented May 28 in our auditorium. Helen Blakely, Chairman.

The natural result of this would Ik- rather a motley gathering consisting of those whose odd credits enabled them to graduate sooner than they ordinarily would have. I'his, however, did not seem to affect the real school spirit of the graduates, as the number of students who stayed for post-graduate work shows. More than half the list of March Seniors have stayed at the school to take additional work. It is our earnest wish that future graduating classes will get as much out of their four years at West as we did. It is also our wish to extend a keen and sincere appreciation to the faculty and administration of the school for the years of work which they have devoted to fit us for our lives; for the excellent foundation which we could have gotten in no other way. FRANCIS COLLIN'S. President. FRANCIS COLLINS President LAC RENEJOHNSON Secretary-Treasurer 50 '■jpllk executive committee of the March, 1920, Seniors appointed hy the president at the time • ( the class organization in January, 1920, consisted of George French, chairman. Laurene Johnson and Donald Norris. The only real work for the committee to perform proved to he the gathering of funds for a class memorial. Of all the plans submitted, that of a vaudeville seemed the l est. and its adoption was decided upon at a class meeting. The performance proved most successful. lca ing a balance of approximately $300 to the credit of the March class. Various plans for an appropriate memorial were submitted and discussed, and it was final!) decided to have made a metal shield upon which all the letter men in athletics would Ik | osted from year to year with a record of their deeds. An order for such a memorial has I een placed with a Minneapolis concern which promises the shield licfore the end of the term. This shield is to cost in the neighborhood i $150. leaving a balance of alxnit the same amount. It was decided to use part of the fund in furnishing Miss Caplin’s rest room. A table, chairs and rug were bought and installed, making the room very homelike. Unless something further is decided, it is likely the rest will go into the school fund to swell the balance which other graduating classes have contributed in the same way. GEORGEFRENCH. Chairman.

Now that we have been graduated, no longer to any great extent can we influence the destinies of our school. Much as we may wish to do, we can accomplish but little. Wc will be remembered bv the things which, up to this time, we have l een given opportunity to accomplish. It may l e that even these things will not suffice, and that we will be forgotten, l’.ut, however this may be. we know that we can never forget the four years we have S|K nt at West. They have been full of happiness, and it is with the deepest regret that we say good-bye to them and to our school. During our stay, there has always been one spirit more than any other that has influenced our class life, a spirit that has become the ideal of the individual and the group. That spirit has been loyalty to West. It is this ideal that our class will always carry with it. We know that wc shall remain, as we now are, loyal to our memories of school life and, above all. forever loyal to West. CLASS OF DECEMBER, 1919, Waltkr Harris, President. WALTER HARRIS Prrsidt'iit HELEN MUTTON I icc-Prcsidcnl MILO SMITH Treasurer 56 AS is usually the case with mid-year classes, the class of December, 1919, was unfortunately small. When we organized as juniors, the class was of an average size, but when, during our senior year, we were divided by the introduction of a three-term school year, our class was cut down to about fifty members. This, however, was not allowed to interfere with our class activities. The first of our social gatherings was a dinner-dance which was an unqualified success. Due to the shortening of the school term bv the three-term year, our next two gatherings, a get-together for the girls, and our class play, came in quick succession. For the large part that they contributed in the planning and the carrying out of these parties, we wish to heartily thank our faculty advisers, Miss Stmdean and Mr. Richardson. On the Sunday before the week of our graduation the baccalaureate service was preached to us by Dr. Freeman of Saint Mark's Church. During the same week, Hurry, Hurry. Hurry,” our class play, was produced, t'nder the coaching of Miss Penney and Mr. Kloepfer, the play was a decided success. The proceeds were used for a new set of scenery, to l c given as a class memorial. ( )n December 12th our activities at West were fittingly closed by our commencement.

Mr. Richardson IN past years the West Hi-Y Club always has accomplished those things which they have set out to accomplish. This year, as in former times, the club has maintained its standard of work, and in many ways has carried out the purpose of the organization, “To create, maintain, and extend a higher standard of Christian character throughout the school ami community.” Our memliership has totaled ninety-live and our organization and system have worked out efficiently. We arc especially grateful to Mr. McWhorter. Mr. Richardson, our faculty adviser, and to Mr. Chapman and Mr. Tripp, of the Y. M. C. A., for their helpful co-operation and assistance in our various activities. We have attempted this year to make the Hi-Y Club a live wire organization that works to make “West Win.” The officers and incmliers who arc graduating certainly hope that next year the club will “Carry On” even more successfully than it has before.

Siefkin 68 THE “W” Club is an organization made up of men having received their school letter playing on one of West’s athletic teams. Its membership consists of fellows with nerve, initiative and a determination to go through with any undertaking they start. It is the purpose of the Club to further the interests of West in every way possible, but especially in athletics. The spirit of the Club holds the interest of its members long after they have left the school for other fields. No other organization can say as much. The “W” Club has, in the past year, been instrumental in bringing back to its former basis the social functions of the school. It has accomplished this by firmly backing the administration in certain reforms, and living up to these reforms itself. My so doing, the “W” Club has set a high standard which, in turn, has set a fine example for the younger students in West. Too much praise cannot l e given an organization which can gain the respect and following that the Club has gained this year. The winners of the school letter are now permitted to wear a pin issued by the Club this year. It is hoped that the wearers of this pin will live up to their present ideals and will do nothing not in keeping with the spirit of West. EMERHINE JACOBSEN, President. Quimhy, McCamt.licll.

Club has aimed to promote friendliness and good feeling throughout the school and to maintain high standards and ideals. At the beginning of the term, the Freshmen girls were guests of the club at a Little Sisters Tea; a group of l' ig Sisters were selected front the Junior and Senior girls. With their help the Freshmen found a place in school activities. Different courses of study were represented by unique programs. The girls of the Art Department presented a style show. Miss Weiglev of the University of Minnesota was the speaker at the Domestic Science program. Alternating with the regular business meetings, were social events including a spook” party at Hallowe’en, a roller skating party, and dancing in the gymnasium. At Christmas time the service committee gave an entertainment at the Poor I'arm. Money for a tree and presents were raised by a program in the auditorium. The mothers of the U. C. girls were honor guests at an informal dinner given in May. The I’. C.-Y. Banquet was a fitting close to the year’s work. The graduating officers and members hope that their successors may accomplish more fully the aims of the club and may broaden its influence in the school. ISronk . Crandall, Mage. lUroicr. Kim non.

It was founded by a group of fellows interested in the study of literature, so it became a literary club. Then the mcml ers’ thoughts turned to debating and the club turned into a debating club. A year ag the club took on more oi a social turn though it still retained its debating aspect. This past year the Tomahawk Club has been a combination of the prime factors of the years gone by, literary, debating, and social. During the year the club has had ample opportunity to study the world’s problems, social, economical and political. It has been the custom to give one or more topics of national or world interest at each weekly meeting of the club. The club’s social life has not been neglected. Every month a home meeting has l een held at the various meml erj' houses. At some of these meetings initiations have taken place while at others business pertaining to the l ettcr-ment of the club has been discussed. Practically the whole club will remain next year so we shall be able to carry on the work from the | oint at which we have left off. This does not mean that we shall discourage membership. On the other hand, we shall l e glad to give mcmltership to fellows interested in public speaking and debate work. Frakklix D. Gray, President. Majics. Harris, Colwell, Clark, Itatiin Schrlilrup.

At the meetings, which are held every third Tuesday, various interesting and instructive programs have l een given. These have, for the most part, consisted of musical numbers, fancy dances, short Spanish plays and lectures. Ks| ccially interesting was a talk on Mexican Traditions,” given in Spanish by Scnor Vasconcelos, of the University of Minnesota. With the exception of the minutes, which are written in Spanish, all the business meetings and also part of the social meetings, have l ecn conducted in English, but in the future it is hoped to use Spanish to a far greater extent. So one of the goals for which we are striving is to conduct all our meetings in the Spanish language. l-a Prcnsa, a Spanish newspaper, was subscribed for by the dues of the 1919 Spanish Club. The paper is now on file in the school library. A debating team was chosen from the club to take part, if possible, in the final debate for the trophy offered by the West Nigh School Parents’ and Teachers' Association. Although still a young organization, the numl cr of members has already reached the half-century mark, and is increasing at every meeting, so that the Spanish Club is becoming known as one of the live, active organizations of the school.

Hut, nevertheless, the Script Club has been active; it has held the interest of all the members; it has given them something to work for; and unconsciously the members have been able to improve a great deal in their literary style from the criticism at their bi-weekly meetings. The club has been instrumental in furthering the literary life of the school. It has supplied both The Weekly and The Hesperian with much of its literary material. Some of the work of its members has been printed in the daily papers. At least one of the members has had work accepted by one of the country's monthly publications. In this way the training of the Script Club has shown itself. Although but a new club its talent has been such that it may safely be predicted that when its members are through with school and college training and start producing mature literary work of their own they will make a name tor themselves in the world of letters.

The players have a keener appreciation of their own skill than ever be fore and have shown decided eagerness to study more musical compositions. There has been an almost ideal balance of parts, notwithstanding the lack of support or harmony which could be procured by double losses and violas. The practice periods have been augmented, thereby affording five forty-minute periods weekly. The woodwind and the brass choir have done very creditable work, preserving the harmony and developing musical ideas continually. The Glee Club and Orchestra have procured four new instruments, namely, a melophone, trombone. alto horn, and an oboe. A double bass and a few violas will be secured next year it players are available. EARL D.

At this time the Good Fellows Club was organized by a number of West and Central fellows endeavoring to create a sentiment for better sportsmanship between the schools. The degree of success of the club may be measured by the difference in feeling at the football and at the basketball games. The club is composed of a representative membership from both schools. Many of the members are on the track, basketball and other athletic teams, while others have been prominent in other branches of school activity. In this way the club has been able to exert a broad influence in affairs between the schools. The social side of the club has not been neglected. A unique idea was started with the inauguration of week-end camping trips to places near Minneapolis. The first one took place about the first of May, when the club motored down to a spot near Stillwater on the I-ake St. Croix. Another week-end was spent at the cottage of one of the members at Lake Minnetonka. A sleigh ride party was also given during the winter. The Good Fellows Club has not been formed long but during the short time it has been in action it has accomplished far more than enough to warrant its existence. It is hoped that its influence between the schools may become greater and its scope wider in the future, and that the causes that led to its organization may be done away with entirelv. FELTON COLWELL, President. OFFICERS President. Harriet Jaros Secretary-Treasurer, Irene Coleman i’ice President. Lavra Van Camp Faculty Adviser, Miss Orton THF. Debaters' Club is an organization recently formed at West with the intention of giving girls the opportunity to debate and learn current topics of the day. During the 15th century when the United States was filled with Indians, it would indeed have been considered a joke to say, Women are capable of being leaders. But as time has taken its course, and people gained more knowledge, the statement Women arc capable of being leaders, came to be looked upon as a true fact. Now in the 20th century the truth of this statement is known all over the world, and we. “The Girl Debaters’ Club’’ of West High, arc living up to that idea, and arc desirous of proving to everyone that Americanization is very closely connected with this statement. Every member of the Debaters’ Club is willing to work, to maintain, and to fight (if need be) for ideals of true Americanization. Consequently, the bi-weekly meetings of the Debaters’ Club are held for the actual practice in the technique of the debate. As a new organization, composed of fifteen members, we wish to state that activity, resolution and determination are our watchwords. Moreover, we believe the enthusiasm of each member in striving for improvement, coupled with the constructive criticism of our faculty adviser, will never permit our club to suffer the fate of many student organizations—to die for want of motivation. We sincerely hope the Debaters’ Club will be remembered in years to come as an organization at West High which helps girls to realize their responsibilities as future citizens of the United States.

After the exceedingly successful ('.lee Club of 1918-19, the Glee Club of 1919-20 has earnestly endeavored to equal, if not surpass, that year's organization. In this we feel we have succeeded to the fullest extent of our ability. In point of numbers we have far exceeded last year's club; the results of our work must he judged by others than ourselves. Most of our efforts have been centered on the production of The Mikado,” which proved to he the peak of musical dramatics. The cast was unusually well balanced, the honors going to Koko, taken by Arnold Schulz, who played the part to perfection, many commenting that his acting was on the par with that of Jefferson I)e Angelus. Violet Tangren, in the role of Katisha, took this difficult role well. The Mikado, interpreted by David Holbrook, who proved he could be serious at times, far exceeded expectations. The vivacity and gayety of Loleta Stout, as Yum Yum, won at all times the hearts of the audience, as well as the heart of her stage lover. X'anki Poo, taken by Charles Wilds. The part of Yum Yuin's schoolmates, Peep Ho, and Petti Sing, were ably enacted by Selma I Sideward and Jeannette Kosholt. The high and mighty I ord High Everything Else. Pooh ljah. was acted to perfection by Lorraine McCoy, who will be remembered as Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B., in Pinafore. Too much credit cannot be given to Lorraine for the part he took in The Mikado.” Elliot Burdick, taking the part of Pish l ush, made a typical Japanese nobleman. The credit for the success of the opera must be given to Earl L. P.aker, director of the (dec Club, and Floyd A. Chandler, coach of the speaking parts, who spent many hours whipping the cast into shape. The chorus showed itself to be one of the best, if not the l est. Mr. Baker has ever trained. Chas. D. Wilds, President. 79 FRENCH, ! CLUB HERETOFORE, the French Club has devoted its energies to the support of a French orphan, Paulette Lc Mairc, but this year it has helped in the construction of the Joffre Institute. At a meeting last fall. Miss Blaisdcll. who is secretary of the Orphinelats des Arinees, spoke to the club, pointing out the necessity of the Joffre Institution in France. It is to be built so that the poor children can be taught some trade that they like instead of being put into unhealthful factories where there is no chance for advancement. At another program given in April, the playlet, “Pauvre Sylvie” was presented. The cast was made up of the members of Miss Hiscock's classes and the play was coached by Miss Hiscock. Several musical numbers completed the program. The annual flower sale of the French Club was held later in the spring in accordance with the custom of former years.

Some of these activities wc have taken over because of their highly practical nature as contrasted with the somewhat theoretical nature of the multitude of subjects wc have had to choose from. Under the guidance and through the effort of the sharks, the radio outfit was set up and used for communication. A great deal of ingenuity was necessary to put the outfit in working order as the lack of some of the essential materials was a great handicap, but difficulties were overcome, and the apparatus was soon in working shape. mong the subjects upon which the club heard lectures, was color photography, the production of photographic negatives in the natural Colors of the scenes taken. A most excellent discussion of this subject was given to the club and numerous actual negatives were displayed. The club also listened to an explanation of the audion bulb, its history, present uses, and future possibilities. Several members devoted no little time and energy assisting in the construction of a Little Theatre. Wiring and scene construction were a couple of the ways in which these members aided. The club also, in attending to legislation, so amended its constitution as to admit without special vote, chemistry students who had not taken physics. Of all its activities, however, its greatest success consisted in its part in the vaudeville of the March graduating class. The club put on an act in the vaudeville consisting of chemical and electrical phenomena oi a rather spectacular mystifying nature. Though many of the stunts were extremely simple to the initiated, to the others the act was one which aroused curiosity, and the club hopes and believes that this act created and promoted interest in the sciences. The club's work, on the whole, is oi a nature which merits the attention of all. and the present officers and members sincerely hope that the work of this year will be supplemented by at least double that amount of work next year.

Marion SI TO study the dramatization of plays, and to promote the interest of the school at large in dramatics.” That is what the Dramatic Gub stands for and with this in mind it can be readily said that it has just passed a successful year. Tryouts were held early in the fall, followed two weeks later by the initiation of twelve new members, thus increasing the membership to twenty, not including two faculty members, Miss Wilson and Miss Moore. As a foundation for the year's work, the development of the modern drama was traced tip to the present plays, that phase of the work terminating with the play, The Importance of Being Earnest.” Besides regular work meetings there were several social meetings, taking the form of an initiation party, a tea. and a roller skating party. The greatest accomplishment, however, was the establishment of the Little Theatre, where one-act plays arc given. All who have visited the performances given there have l cen impressed with it simplicity, and have also realized its true value to the amateur actresses and to the audience. Julia Patty, President.

Nolan, Potty, Cray 82 THE All X Club of l‘ 20 was somewhat slow in organizing, which was due to the fact that the Club was originally organized to help the government of the school to carry on the war campaigns in the school. The active members of this year reorganized the club with the main idea in mind to help the community as well as the school, because of this the club has made great headway in benefit work for the old clothes collections. Sunshine Society and numerous other benefits of that character. The club was also engaged in helping « restore dancing to the school by their private work as well as by the sunlight dance which was gn, n under the direct auspices of the All X Club. Our members are representatives of nearly all the different activities of the school. Six of the members have won letters in the various branches of athletics. ()ne is the only three-letter man in the school, and another a close second with two letters. One is the treasurer of the June class. We have two members on the student council, the president of the Ui-Y Club, associate editor of the Weekly, and the famous cartoonist whose drawings have appeared in both the Hesperian and the Weekly. In this representative membership all have worked for the general welfare of the school. We wish, in closing, to say that we are not as dead as some people may think tor the reason that our work has been divided between the school and outside interests. THE ALL X CLUB. Kochford. Patten.

It was representative of him and his ideals. He, alone, was responsible for it. Today it is representative of the community for which it is edited. This is particularly true in regard to a high school publication. And this is why the West High Weekly, with its ever changing staffs, lias never radically changed its policy. But because no one person or group is responsible for the paper but rather the school for whom it is edited, and because the school is represented by its paper more widely than by any other institution, a great responsibility rests upon the staff to represent the school as it would be represented. So this year we have tried, as ail other lioards have tried, to be really symbolic of the Green and White. And only inasmuch as we have succeeded in this do we feel that we have succeeded in editing the paj cr. FALL TERM Editor..................... Associate Editors.......... Personals...................

Tryouts were held the first week in April, and during that week the entire cast was chosen by the judges. Miss Penney, Miss Wilson. Mr. McWhorter and Mr. Klocpfer were the judges, and at that time chose the cast that appeared before the school in the play on Friday night. May twenty-eighth. After six weeks of hard study and work, the actors came to realize the value of practice and co-operation, and it was with these thoughts in mind that they presented the play. Under Miss Penney's careful guidance they slowly liecame the characters of their part and were able to represent their class to the best of their ability. The play itself was a difficult one and the acting a real task, but if the school feels that something was accomplished. the cast is satisfied. Every manlier will long remember the joy and also the work on the production, and all of them arc leaving the school with a greater friendship for their fellow actors and for the coaches. The value of such a play can only lie in the benefit it gives the school at large. If “The Lion and the Mouse” not only afforded an evening of pleasure, but also added another accomplishment for West to be proud of. then it may lie called a true success. THE MARCH VAUDEVILLE For the purpose of raising money for a memorial, and other class expenses, a vaudeville performance was given March 5. by the March Senior Class. Talent discovered in clubs, classes and other organizations almut the school was made use of. George French, chairman of the executive committee, was the chief motive power of the performance. A very good program was presented. A demonstration with a high-frequency coil, chemical apparatus, and equipment from the physical laboratory was given by members of the Engineers' Club. Charles Milkcs. Karl Krib-ben ami Richard Mathes startled the audience with some interesting demonstrations of all sorts. This was followed by a pianologuc by Aurora Larusson. A little one-act play, “Mrs. Oakley's Telephone, was given by the Dramatic Club. Helen MacGregor, Doris Williams. Mildred Tingdale and Wilhelmina Nolan took part in the little skit, which would have done credit to any performance. A typical vaudeville stunt was given by Arnold Shulz and Gordon McMillan, who gave a dialogue which nearly brought down the house. Shulz also starred as Koko in sketches from “The Mikado.” under Mr. Baker's leadership. A splendid exhibition was given by the tumbling team under the direction of Mr. Kiblcr. This was followed by a chalk talk by Hugh Hutton, a former student of West and a war-time entertainer, assisted by Philip Elliot, who is taking the art course at West. A black-face quartet, contused of Preston Higgins, Tom Yerxa. Richard McCampbell and Nathan Simmons, specialized in “barber shop chords. The audience thought they were so good that they presented them with a number of bouquets. Fancy dancing was one of the main attractions, which ended with a dance by Marjorie Leet. with Mr. Powers as her partner. The performance was entirely successful with a net proceeds of about $400. 90 “HURRY, HURRY, HURRY.” HURRY, Hurry, Hurry,” was by nature of its title exceedingly apropos to the spirit of the times in which it was presented. Handicapped by a shorter senior term than any preceding cast, its producers and its would-be stars came to realize, in the largest sense of the word, the exact significance of the verb to hurry.” The cast was small, but select and made up in quality what it lacked in quantity. Under the skillful direction of Miss Penney and Mr. Kloepfer, and the efficient business management of Walter Harris. Hurry, Hurry. Hurry was presented on the night of December 10th to a capacity house. The proceeds were expended to purchase the scenery used in the play as the class memorial to the school. The story of the play centers a1 out the betrothal of a popular society debutante who is approaching her twenty-first birthday as hurriedly as the footlight action progresses on the eve of this eventful anniversary. A crash in the business affairs of her devoted father, leaves the financial deliverance of the Hooker family in the hands of our heroine, to whom a maiden aunt has left her entire fortune on condition that the girl be engaged before she is twenty-one. And she will be twenty-one at midnight! The match-making diplomacy of her parents and brother involves three unsuspecting men. and precipitates them all into a whirlpool of lovemaking and noble attempts at lovemaking. And in the meanwhile tempus fugit. By eleven thirty, however, the young lady has dismissed all candidates and hope is lost. But when deceived by a trick of her brother into believing that the hour has struck and that she must be no longer influenced by mercenary motives, she recalls her true lover iu time to promise him what they usually promise before the town hall strikes twelve. And They lived happily ever after. 91 jlWLST HIGH CADETS THE second year of drill at West has been a vjry successful one. Instead of the ordinary routine of military fundamentals there have been competitive drills, exhibitions, and camps. The first event of the year was an all-citv drill at the armory. At that time the various schools drilled for a sailer. Central won first place, defeating West by only three-quarters of a point. This spring there was an assembly of all the cadets in the city at the parade grounds. At this assembly the corps was presented with a set of colors given by the Scottish Kite of Minneapolis. Each June there will lie a competitive drill between the various schools to sec who will retain them the following year. Next was an individual drill, in the manual of arms, for a medal given by Ketitz Bros. An auditorium was held for this event. It was a close contest but Sergeant John Leslie was finally chosen as the winner. The first camp for Minneapolis cadets was also held this spring at Fort Snclling. At this camp it was the object to give the boys a touch of real army life. They were put on K. I , and guard duty as well a having a bit of trench warfare training. Another feature of the camp was target practice. ICach cadet was allowed to fire five rounds of ammunition on the 100-yard range. The camp was held May 13 to May 16. The annual competitive drill for the colors will l e held the first week in June. West is confident of success. The West corps consisted of fifty cadets this year. According to next year’s plans there should be 300 taking drill. EDWARD BRADDOCK, Caf t. H If. .S'.

The spirit of the school has been fine. No athletes could ask for better supf ort. The spirit of the athletes has been fine. Xo school could ask for harder fighting. The spirit of our coaches has been fine. Xo school, no players, could expect greater efforts. Last fall. West failed to reach a high standing on the gridiron, but they did not fail to show some real football. Too much praise can not be given the plucky lads, who did all in their power to push the oval over the line for the Green and White. Too much praise can not be given to the second squad which carried away victory after victory, and yet loyally supported the gritty, unfortunate first squad. Too much praise can not be given the two coaches who worked day and night for West. If the same support and the same spirit are present next fall. West will soon regain her reputation as the footl all school of Minneapolis.” Last spring. Coach Zavodsky pulled another championship train into the West High depot. The material was the finest which has been in the field for any school in years. Xo team could give our athletes any real comj etition, and the squad literally ran away with the Twin City title. The Xorth-westem meet was lost by but one and one-third points because of a dose of hard luck. Three first places were lost to us after they had l een won. the winner being disqualified on a technical point each time. Had West gotten credit for any one of these events, the championship of the Xorthwest would now be in our halls. Right now the team is climbing toward the fourth consecutive title through the efforts of the coach and squad. Baseball this past year was a training season for the teams of the next two or three years. Practically the whole squad was made up of freshmen and sophomores. The nine, however, played clever ball and was not below par. Things look good for our diamond athletes in the future as good men are steadily l eing developed from our lower classmen. Old Man Jinx' chased our basketball team all winter. Right from the first, the five began to suffer. Injuries, loss of men, and fluke” plays again and again turned apparent victory into defeat, but the boys never faltered. Disaster only seemed to spur them on and. as in the gridiron schedule, the hardest game was the last one. Although few veterans will appear on the floor next year, a good team can be developed from the members of the interclass teams of this year. The second Twin City championship was brought to West bv our swimmers. West has completed two years in this sj ort, and has taken two titles. It is very probable that the. team will repeat its victory next year, as but one or two of the members will graduate. The future development of West in athletics lies with the student body. It is up to them whether or not we regain our old name as the home of athletics. Remember that it is your school and that you should make a name for it. Get out on the field, and fight for your school, its honor, its traditions. Make our motto ring—West Wins. Arthur E. Ames, Athletic liditor. ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL May 1. 1919—May 1. 1920. The total receipts for the year from all sources have been $2,289.58. divided as follows: Football, $1,120.04: track. $88.89; basketball. $240.51 ; baseball. $82.20: West High Athletic Association. $25971; tennis. $18.00: lost equipment. $63.15; miscellaneous, such as the sale of ribbons, arm bands, caps, etc., $417.08. The total expense for the same period has l een $1,688.6)6. leaving a balance of $773.83, approximately the amount on hand May 1. 1920. The total receipts this year have been slightly more than twice the total receipts for the last year. So far. the price of the games has not been advanced with everything else, and we have been able to accumulate a fair sized balance to our credit. I he cost of equipment has advanced so much, however. that this has been possible only with very careful watching for all loose ends. We expect to have more men to equip every year, and in order to do this properly we shall need an ever increasing amount of money. T. I . GRUWELL. 95 Mr. Gruwell Clare l.uger, Arthur Ann, Helen MacGregor W. H. A. A. THI£ West High Athletic Association is nearing the completion of the second year of its existence. Because of the things which it has accomplished during its brief span of life, it has fully justified its foundation and continuance as a vital force in the student body at West. The Association has striven constantly to bring about a greater interest in athletics on the part of all the students; this interest to take tangible form, either by participation in, or attendance at all games or meets at which a West High team is represented. Participation in athletics by the many instead of the select few is the end it has always sought to attain. A large membership drive was held during the fall quarter which brought about one-third of the entire student l ody into the Association. The proceeds from memliership fees arc used to help defray the expenses incidental to equipping and maintaining the various teams. The football banquet, given in honor of the 1919 squad, was attended by two hundred and fifteen students, the largest number ever present at a similar West High affair. In addition to the regulation W given all members of various athletic teams, it has lieen decided that all member of championship teams Ik awarded stars, as further recognition of their excellent services. In order that this association may continue to l e a strong factor in the development of a high standard of sportsmanship at West, it is essential that it continue to have the whole-hearted support of the school. Claim: Lean. Secretary and Treasurer. 96 THE 1919 foottall season opened with bright prospects for West. With eight letter men back, and some cracking gtxxl 1918 second squad men. there was a real tighter for every position. Things looked good for West. Vet, in spite of the ' do| e.'‘ the Green and White landed in the cellar for the third time in her foot-Ixtll history. It was not because they did not fight: they did. but there was some missing element which kept West down. West lost her first game to South by a score of 28 to 6. although but one of their touchdowns was made by straight football while the rest were flukes. Inability of our men to make easy tackles hel]R-d South considerably in her ground-gaining. West’s score was made in the third quarter. They received the kick-off and went through South for seventy yards before they were held. South's punt-out was blocked by Verxa. and Cleveland.fell on the ball, scoring our 'six points. West and North fought on a sea of mud in a drizzling rain to a 6-to-6 tie. North scored early in the game but failed to kick goal. The Green and White was hani| crcd by the mud liecause of the superior weight of their opponent’s line, but they fought heroically. At one time West held on her two-yard line for four downs, then held for four downs on the one-yard line because of an off-side penalty. The touchdown for West was made in the last five minutes of play by Sinunons, who made a seventy-yard run after catching a long pass. West played the poorest game against East, losing by a score of 21 to 7. The principal reason for the defeat was the fact that half the field was covered with mud through which line-plunging was impossible. West also lost many yards every time the teams exchanged punts. Osman scored the lone touchdown for West. According to custom, West showed her full fighting strength against Central, playing a brand of liall which redeemed the reputation of West as fighters. West lost. 14 to 0. but it was an honorable defeat. Both teams went into the contest at their l cst. The first quarter was scoreless although the tail was continually on Central’s side of the field. The first touchdown went to Central after West had received two fifteen-yard | cnaities. Their second touchdown came in the last peritnl after an unfortunate pass to Ku1 en. The team repealed their North exhibition of the stone-wall act for seven downs. On the last down, however. Central scored by a short pass. The game ended with West fighting desperately to cross the goal line. In spite of the disastrous season the fact remains that our boys fought and fought hard. Going through the lineup, comiK'tent men were to Ik found for every position. tter the South game the end positions caused no worry to the coach. Left end was cinched the whole season by Walter Page. Right end was well filled after the South game by Nathan Simmons. Both men were sure, hard tacklers and good on forward passes. It was Simmons' great catch which saved West from a complete shut-out in the North game. The tackle jobs were filled by Captain Tom Verxa and Allan Odell. Both men were steady fighters and few gains were made over our tackles, while these were the points over which West made most of her yardage. West was unlucky in filling her guard positions. East and Central made the majority of their gains over one or the other of these places. The fault was not. however, in the men. as no one man was at either of the position long enough to learn how to work successfully with his side partner. Emerhinc Jacobsen. Donald Cleveland. Clarence Bros. Andrew Schulc. Charles Wilds. I.con Moes and Rol ert Gray all played at guard at different times. Jacobsen and Cleveland would have completed the l cst line in the city but I'oth were kept out because of injuries. Had regular guards been in. West would have had better looking scores to show. Center was well taken care of by Leopold Fiskc. Fiskc was at the pivot every quarter West was on the field except the four periods in the Central game when he played full. George Matchan gave a fine account of himself in this game at Fiskc’s place. The quarterback position was very well filled by Arthur Ames and Preston Higgins. Higgins was a good defensive man. and peppy at calling signals. Ames, on the other hand, was the best backfield defense man that West had, l eing strong on dying tackles. He was also a heady field general. Both of these plucky little men well earned their letters. West had two of the Ixrst offensive halfbacks in the city in Sidney Kul eu and Max Osman. Irving Rose gave a good account of himself whenever he was in. Ruben was. perhaps, the l est line-plunger in high school football, while Osman was the speediest man back of the line. Rose excelled as a defensive man. Leon Moes completed the lineup at fullback. He was a g« od punter and forward passer although not very-steady. His line plunging was good and he was a fair interference runner. This completes the eleven which Coach Kibler had to work with. The boys worked hard, showing real pluck and courage. Coach Kibler did the best he could and worked hard but failed to get results so far as scores were concerned. But it cannot l e truthfully said that the 1919 team did not fight. These boy fought with the kind of spirit that anyone could l c proud of. They showed the old West fight, playing only for the glory and reputation of West. Written by Thomas F.

The history of this branch of sport at West bears witness of this fact as the perusal of the official archives in possession of the faculty manager will fully corroborate. Particularly is this true of teams developed during the past four or live seasons, when almost without exception, the Green and White prevailed against opponents representing much larger institutions. The climax, however, of this series of successes was not reached until the season of 1919. which will long stand out in memory of every loyal follower of West. Never before has assembled to the defense of the Green and White such an array of athletic prowess! To begin with, every member of the team possessed the necessary machinery that always spells success, namely : well proportioned and developed body: proper leadership, clean habits, sound moral characters, which in my judgment is paramount in a successful athlete, perseverance that knows neither discouragement nor failures, even in studies. The previous season kindly handed down as a bequest a few men of marked ability, men that were to serve as a nucleus for the team of the ensuing season. This heritage proved of infinite value, since it embodied material of no less renown than Capt.-elect I.ahatt. Nines, Niles. Drew, McMillan, and How. all veterans of mam conquests of past seasons. With this. then, apparently small squad, together with a few recruits that were added, the indoor track season was started. For West the task of getting started was easy, but other schools gave little or no attention to the sport, living chiefly occupied by basketball. On that account, competition with local high schools was impossible. St. Paul Central, however, was willing to meet us on their floor, where, with an uphill push. West scored a complete victory and came home with a Twin City Indoor Track championship. “We'll get them outdoors. was the slogan at St. Paul—and they had more than one opportunity. Accordingly, soon after the vacation. West met the St. Paul Central team at the St. Thomas field. Their organization possessed considerable strength and ability, but West showed superiority in the fact that these elements of force were more evenly distributed throughout the whole team, thus giving her a balance of power that was impregnable. Needless to say that West gained an easy victory that day. Minneapolis Central was somewhat destitute of track material that season, hence her opposition was negligible. The real test came in the Northwestern Meet, where the best athletes of the Northwest competed. In the early stages of this contest, it developed that the real issue was lietween West anti Shattuck Military School, other schools falling too far behind to exert much influence on the result. By virtue of a more seasoned and matured team. Shattuck barely pulled the meet out of the fire at the eleventh hour. The score stood West. 40' j : Shattuck, 40-kj. The Twin City Meet at Carlcton was marked by a clean-cut victory for West. There was one record broken. Captain Allan Lahatl went 20 ft. 7 j in. for a new Twin City count in the running broad jump. The final triumph came during the City Meet, which again demonstrated the superb strength of the West track team. The final count registered West. 79; North ; Central, 7. Moes again demonstrated his exceptional ability as a weight man. He threw the javelin 154 feet, a new mark for the Twin Cities. To praise the team that performed so well would lie superfluous as their deeds speak in clearer language than one could utter. Captain La bail's masterly conduct as a leader proved no less brilliant than his stellar performance on the cinders. Niles, another mainstay of the team, lived up to the expectations by contributing bis large share of points to the final count, while Moes, ever faithful to bis duty at the weights, added an undying fame to track athletics at West bv shattering two records the same season—a feat destined to he repeated this year. Watch Moes! The other mcmlicrs of the team deserve a word of appreciation, as their contribution was, of course, indispensable for the season’s success. L. Z.WOOSKY.

Of the 1918 Championship team there were but three men back. Captain Bob Gam-bill, Irving Rose and Max Osman. With these men as a nucleus, and some fine first string material of the preceding year. Coach Kiblcr undertook the task of building up a fence-busting team for West. After much shifting around, capable men were found for every position. Catch was filled by Emerhine Jacobsen, who became, perhaps, the l cst backstop in the league. The pitching staff consisted of one little man who did admirably. Karl Bach pitched every inning for West and showed himself to be a real pitcher. First base was covered by Harry Starn, second base by Bob Gambill, and third by Donald Quimby and Bob Bclleau. Ralph Williams played every inning at shortstop. The fields were well covered by Kelsey Countryman, Max Osman, Irving Rose and Wallace Remington. The batting staff was strong, although a trifle unsteady. Bob Gambill led easily in this department, while Jacobsen, Osman, Williams and Countryman all did more than excellent work. West ended her season with but three victories, one over North, and two over Central. The team did. however, play a good brand of ball, showing many brilliant spurts during the year. Prospects for this year’s nine under the leadership of Emerhine Jacobsen arc good, providing a pitcher can be unearthed. Karl Bach having left school. West must develop a delivery man. If one is found then the Green and White has no weak s|mt in the line-up. Robert I Gamhiu. and Arthur E. Ames, Captain igig. 104 WALLY HAKE. 5 A THR.EE BAqqE-R. ANOTHER. STRIKE-OUT QUine y in action SMILtb __ AMD evERYTHiriq WE- CEMTRAL BASKETBALL IN the List two years of basketball we have learned at least to lose games squarely. It is bard to be a good loser, but otir five certainly showed fine self-control this year. The men displayed a fine exhibition of true sportsmanship and loyalty to their colors, while the rooters also deserve credit for their good support of the quint. The season opened with over one hundred fellows out. including three letter men of the preceding year. But hard luck soon appeared over the bright horizon and West’s prospects declined materially. Merritt McDonald, one of the best basket-shooters in the city and captain-elect of the team, was forced to quit because of the doctor’s refusal to allow him to compete in athletics. Robert Johnson was elected to lead the five. West won her only victory in the first game over East in an extra five-minute period of play. At this time the team was lined up as follows: Center. Page; forwards, Ogilvie, Johnson and Williams; guards, Rischmiller, Remington and Jacobsen. Walter Page was pro! ahly the best center in the league, being an accurate goal shooter and an aggressive scrimmage man. Burton Ogilvic and Ralph Williams were two of the swiftest men on the floor, while both were good field-goal men. Rob Johnson was a clean, hard tighter and a clever man at handling the ball. AI Rischmiller and Emerhine Jacobsen were perhaps the hardest and roughest players, both being great assets to the team. Cornell Remington won a name for himself by his sensational long shots and perfect free throwing. After an unfortunate series of games, West again received a setback in the loss of Jacobsen and Page. The absence of these two fighters was keenly felt although the team did not lie down. Rowe went in Page's place and showed up well as a real mixer. The last game was played without the regular line-up, but it was by far the best game of the season. West fought every minute and it was only su] crior organization that won. There will not l e a letter man back next year but this should not be discouraging as there is much good material from the class teams of the past year. Robert Johnson and Arthur E. Ames, Captain tyjo. 106 EST won the Twin City Championship and missed out on the State title only because of the loss of two of the most promising men on the team. The City meet was a walkaway for West, the team having thirty-one points over the only real competitor. Central. The Twin City meet was a fight from start to finish, no decision being possible until after the relay. George French, captain and coach, was the high j oint winner during the entire season. Next season's pros| ects arc very bright, practically the whole team coming .back. Paige Lehman will lead the swimmers. George French. Jr. Captain 1920. 107 ALTHOUGH there were no meets held with the other high schools of the city, the 1919 West High Cross Country Team can rightfully claim the city championship in this branch of sport, on the ground that Central, the only other school with a team, refused to meet us over a cross country course. Coach Zavodsky did all he could to obtain a meet but they refused to run further than 1 % miles, which cannot be classed as cross country. A practice race was arranged with the U. of M. and the fellows showed up exceptionally well against the older men. The score was 67 to 39 in favor of the L Drew took second, Donnelly seventh, while three other West runners crossed the tape among the first twelve. There was much good material found during the past season. Stocs, Fcidt. and McCoy all developed into fast men and will be back again next year. Paul Stocs was unanimously elected to lead the 1920 hill and dale runners. It is hoped that next year there will Ih- some competition with the other high schools and that West will again have a championship team. Artiitk Drew. Captain fylV. Gruwcll.

In the only encounter of the season, the trio played the Easterners to a tie in a dual meet. In the spring, Pidgeon, Douglas and Weetman represented West on the courts. This team had a two-thirds hold on the city championship when the playing was stopped. They also showed up well in the Northwestern interscholastic meet.

He has two letters in swimming and two in football. Mr. McWhorter says he was glad Sid indulged in one clean sjiort. So were we after watching the last Central game, and we bet Central was. too. CLEVELAND Don is a blond; he parts his hair in the middle, combing the strands to the right and left alternately, lie is noted for his big mouth and foolish grin. Rut he also is some football player! Cleveland won two grid letters, getting an all-star guard berth on the Daily News team last fall. AMES Few fellows have liecn at any school as short a time and made as many friends as our little quarterback and W. H. A. A. president, Art Ames.

Wilds is aim a good half-ntiler. JOHNSON Bob is a basketball man and a good one. He won two letters in this branch of athletics and was captain of last winter's squad.

But Burt doesn't care what you call him. as he can stand most everything. He came from the village across the river. RISH MU ELLER A1 comes pretty close to heating Moes out of the title of Tar .an. lie won his letter playing guard on the basketball team. He was the best mixer the five had. and made many an opponent realize that.

Williams was one of the fastest basketball men in uniform last season. Otherwise, he is somewhat slow but, girl . while there's life there’s hope. JEFFREY Kenny won his letter by swimming on the 1920 championship team He was a plunger and his steady, hard work made him a real asset to the squad. He is quite a student. far outdoing his playmates in the noble art of studying. FRENCH George is a fish, although not a poor one. He was captain of these athletes last season, and a member of the squad in 1919. He is the state champion for 1920 in fancy diving, ami was sent to Chicago as the M. A. C. representative. French was the high point winner on the championship squad this year. WEETMAN Bruce was our tennis captain, all-round manager, general utility man, and “Tippee” Grttwell's janitor. Oh, yes, and he’s official photographer. We guess that is all. but it kept him fairly busy. He has three tennis letters and one manager's. 116 |V GOSS Goss is the proud possessor of two letters, one for swimming, and the other for managing the 1918 football team. Kenny has a great future before him, as he worked, here at West, under the direct supervision of Mr. Gruwell, HEWITT Harold earned his letter in the indoor track season just before graduating. Mis great work ir the North meet will l c long remembered. Beside being a West letter man, Harold is a veteran of the A. EL F., serving a year in France.

LABATT AI got his writeup in last year’s Ilcsp. Even if he didn't, we could say nothing that you have not heard about the northwest's fastest man (meaning track). Beside being a track man. AI was a member of the 1917 football squad. HARRIS Walter is a student front start to finish. But in between he found time to make a letter managing the 1919 footltall squad. FISKE Todd, sometimes known as our handsome kewpie. won his felt at the pivot last fall. He knocked 'em all dead, male and female. Fiske was badly wounded while serving with the Marines in France. In spite of this, lie came out for the eleven, when he returned. and made a great center. DREW Art won his letters in track and cross-country. He was one of the fastest mil-ers in the city l cforc that race was discarded. Since then he has become, perhaps the l est half-milcr in the Twin Cities. Drew was captain of the 1919 hill-and-dale team and led that team efficiently in every way. including running. THE Senior Kasketball team swooped up the inter-class championship in great style, winning four fast and furious games. Their type of play was characterized by the team’s more common name, The Senior Football Quintet.” No competition was given to this aggregation except by the Freshman team, which had been acting as the second school team for a month preceding the game. In spite of the rough play of the Champs, they showed real floor skill. They were able, several times, to hold their own against the Regulars, once even lieating that team by a substantial margin. Aside from their school victories. the Seniors won several games with outside teams; in fact, they won every contest they entered. But six men played in all the games, leaving but one substitute. Nathan Simmons played at center and was an important scoring factor. Maxwell Meyers proved himself valuable, taking care of the lighter and more skillful part of the play. Emerhinc Jacobsen. Irving Rose, Preston Higgins and Arthur Ames played at forward or running guard. The latter men brought victory by their hard and reckless playing, with which no opponents seemed able to cope. Anyone having seem them play, and surely any former opponents, will long remember this terrible football five which never tasted defeat. 117 Il 1 r ... - sir,1 I ■ —■; ’ r' J(| mji ] as?

She has accomplished the unusual, playing on the hasehall and vol-tey hall teams, and competing in track, tennis, and hiking. The association has given two parties this year. The first was given last fall, and was a hare and hound chase. About twenty girls started ahead as hares and made a trail out to Glenwood Park, where they were pursued by over a hundred hounds. The chase ended with a weiner roast. The second party was given in February. It was in the form of an entertainment, stunts being given by different members of the association. Refreshments and dancing concluded the program. Every year more and more people realize the value of athletics for girls, and we hope the next year to have our active membership doubled.

All of the teams played with snap and vigor and were very well matched. At first the chances for championship seemed to point to the Freshmen or Sophomores. The Seniors, however, soon showed that in spite of their disadvantage of having an incomplete team they were not to be downed as they walked away with the other teams. At the end of the tournament the Seniors and Sophomores were tied tor first place. Although the Seniors had twice been beaten by the Sophomores they went into the final game with a determination that could not be shaken, and fought their way to victory by a score of 15 to 9.

This assurance was due to his inheritance, for he was the great-grandson of Chief Cloud Man, whose teepee once crowned the steep l ank of Loon Lake, now Calhoun; and he was the grandson of Dad Russell, whose house, amid its grove of plum-trees, a half a century later occupied the site of West High School. Harvey's size was due chiefly to his youth, for he was but twelve years of age. Harvey's father had obtained his education at Dartmouth, where, instead of losing his Indian nature, he had really found it. In the sickening days of 1862, amid the blood ami prejudice of the massacre, an Indian was worth very little in Minnesota, except the renegade who would betray his people to the whites. Accordingly, the son of Cloud Man could at the best hope only for indulgence from most of his white neighbors. At college, however, whither he had been sent by a missionary society for the redemption of his race, he had soon become a hero. He could tell a story with the best of the whites, and besides he could explain just what an Indian was. to the satisfaction of his associates, deceived alike bv the romanticism of Cooper and the realism of the magazines. He had supplied the correct settings for plays, poems, and tales innumerable, until. Ask Cloudman had become part of the college slang. Moreover, he had won the respect of the boys for prowess in athletics, and of the girls for living just as nice as he could l c’’; and thus he had been graduated in medicine with high honor. Now Harvey, with such a father, would have had a right to assurance even if he had been all white: but. considering that he had entered high school in the day of pageantry for the emltcllishment of which all things Dakotah were living eagerly clutched at, and that his mother was president of the West High Parents' and Teachers' Association, chiefly by virtue of having liven bom on the Russell homestead and of having given her father s bookcase to the school where it shone with trophy cups and other memorials of victory, certainly the Seniors should have liven more discerning than to have put him down as a mere freshman with a small f,” and try at once to sell him a ticket to the auditorium and send him for a four-foot yardstick. Harvey had run the gauntlet of the principal's lecture to Freshmen, the assistant principal’s check-up on his program, his adviser's directions how to find his way alxuit the building, and his Big Brother’s caution u beware of upper classmen's humor: he had settled down to the routine of Latin. English, algebra and history; and he had already prospected for cross-country and debate, when a peculiar thing happened—the safe in the office was roblied one night while the parents of Freshmen were lieing received by the teachers. No one knew how it was possible for such a deed to be perpetrated; but there it was—some $800 of the athletic association’s funds gone, and the football season coming into full iiloont. The principal had commanded that nothing in the office be touched until Detective McGillicuddy, of the Central office, could make a complete examination. That was why, when Harvey, sent to the office by his over-conscientious adviser, to find out why the adviser period was twice as long as seemed necessary to her. noticed a quantity of torn paper on the thior of the inner office where the safe stood. The detective had succeeded in frightening the office-girls by some unpleasant questions and was engaged in a whispered consultation with the principal. Harvey's Indian eye caught the impression of a foot upon several pieces of this paper lying directly itt front of the safe; and after a moment of careful scrutiny, he made out a second print at the distance from the first natural to a person standing while manipulating the combination. Conan Doyle had taught Harvey that a person steps a distance proportionate to his height, and Harvey had himself determined, acting on this suggestion, that a person standing separates his feet a distance proportionate to his height. On this premise he soon visualized a person five feet tall; and. perceiving that the footprint showed decided trace of a French heel, he soon deduced that the guilty person was none other than Doris Volksky, a Russian Jewess, who alone, of all the girls of her set. persisted in wearing French heels after the dress reform movement had swept West High School. So strongly did Harvey feel that he was right in his deduction that he immediately lodged a charge against Doris with his adviser; and the girl was sent for to be handed over to the detective. Boor Harvey! lie soon found himself in such trouble that he Itcgan to doubt both his Indian intuition and his Anglo-Saxon reasoning. His own mother testified that she had seen Doris in the auditorium during the entire program, which began at 9 o’clock: and Professor Cook, leader of the orchestra, several students, and a janitor added their witness to strengthen the girl’s alibi. The lad was overcome with chagrin. To make matters worse, the captain of the footlvall team, who courted Doris between periods, threatened to mop up the hall with the little runt.” and the Inns of his adviser's group nicknamed him. Hawkshaw. Old Chief Cloud Man still spoke in the boy. however. Harvey had heard his father tell how, when surrounded by t hippewavs, Cloud Man had lain hidden under a hazel-bush for several hours while his enemies scoured the woods for him; and then had crept out and single-handed killed three Chippewavs in rapid succession, rejoined his band and led them in the scalp dance the same night on the hill where now stands the I„akcwood mortuary chapel. Determining to l e as cool-headed, Harvey endured the jibes and waited. One day while fingering some of the pieces of paper that he had picked up in the office he noticed that there was some writing, and on one of the pieces he read: “Nine o’clock. “Dear Edna: I have come in here before the program logins to write----- The sentence was interrupted by the irregular tear. On another piece he made out: May be able to see you. Doris.” Ah. lie had it now! Doris had stolen into the office, written the note, then torn it up. What about the alibi? That puzzled Harvey until he remembered that the auditorium clock was always ten minutes slower than the master clock in the office. Therefore Doris had been able, acting on the knowledge of the combination, learned while assisting in the office and on the sudden temptation, to take the $800 and establish a complete alibi, save only for Harvey’s Indian sharpness and Anglo-Saxon logic. 127 —E.

If. haply, thou art blessed with a number five tablet. l e shy of showing it: or if thy conscience prick thee, reveal thy material to a select few. but let it l e to the lilierally-allowanccd: they will return the sheets (generally anticipating the time appointed) with usury, amplified by courteous opinions tripling thy reputation for generosity.

Nearly reach the sky, Then like my dreams they fade and die. Fortune’s always hiding. I’ve looked everywhere, I’m forever blowing bubbles. Pretty bubbles to the air.” And far down the gaunt, grim corridors the old, old song echoed, and the men who could hear did not sleep, but sat on their cots and listened. Tin forever blowing bubbles— The song in a clear, unfaltering tone came from a death-cell and Varnall. the man who sang, had only six more hours to live! Pretty bubbles to the air—’’ At sunrise they would take him out and strap him to a big. black chair and then— “They fly so high—” —then a movement of a switch— “Nearly reach the sky— How could Varnall, a man doomed to die. sing through the long hours of the night? In the death-cell the song broke suddenly off and the singer turned from the small grated window and sat on his cot. Bits of his life came hack to him. With a tight clenching of fists lie thought of battle-scarred, blood-wet France where he with his comrades hurled himself to the greedy guns, lie remembered the smoke-clouded day when he had met a certain German, how the German had groveled and begged for life in such a snivelling way that Varnall had lifted his face to the seething sky and muttered fiercely, “When 1 come to die, God give me strength to die game!” And then his mind trailed backward ten years to his mail, glad, glorious school days. One time in particular he thought of—when Varnall. the Senior, had walked the halls proudly, busily, aimlessly. He recalled that first day—the hearty handshakes—the fellows he used to know—the teachers -the girls—■ Oh what was that strange stabbing pain about his heart now? He rose and walked to the iron-grated window for as in a dream he seemed to hear the swelling song of the “radiator gang” on that dear, dim. first day. I’m forever blowing bubbles. Pretty bubbles to the air. They flv so high. Nearly reach the sky. Then like my dreams— But then the bell rang. So that is why the men who could hear did not sleep, but sat on their cots and listened. The far cast took on a pale radiance, a faint, wondrous, white light stained the sky; and still the song from Varnall in his death-cell echoed down the gaunt grim corridors. “I’m forever blowing bubbles—” At dawn they came, and unlocked his door, and led him into a room. And even the officers who had performed this duty often before wondered at the strange smile on his thin lips. Varnall walked about the tragic room for a minute or two and commented on the beauty of the breaking day. And then of his own accord lie mounted to the chair and laid his hands on the metal plates—still with that same twisted smile. They strapped his wrists to the chair—his ankles—and pressed the metal cap firmly onto his head. And then the officers wondered even more tor in a low. humming voice. “I’m forever blowing bubbles. Pretty bubbles to the air. They fly so high. Nearly reach the sky. Then like my dreams—” But then a man moved the switch. 129 —Jameson. I. It with pleasure you arc viewing any work a man is doing. If you like him, or you love him, tell him now, Don't withhold your approbation, till the parson makes oration. And lie lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow. For. no matter how you shout it, he won’t realb care about it. He won’t know how many tear drops you have shed. If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him. For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead. II. More than fame and more than money, is the common, kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval of a friend.

Let the words of true encouragement l e said. Do not wait till life is over and he’s underneath the clover, For he cannot read his tombstone when lie's dead. —James Christy. THE IDEAL LIFE Take a dash of water cold. And a little leaven of prayer. A little bit of sunshine gold Dissolved in the morning air: Add to your meal some merriment And a thought for kith and kin. And then as a prime ingredient A plenty of work thrown in. But spice it all with the essence of love And a little whiff of play; I.ct a wise old hook and a glance above Complete a well-spent day. Acnes Thorvilsox. DAY AND NIGHT i. The day brings hope and courage To meet with toil and strife: While night, the great restorer. Renews the needs of life. II. The day shouts of its triumph: Men build ami tear and rend. But when the night shuts in the world, All work and fighting end. III. The day with all its glory fades As the sun sinks in the west. And night blots out all troubles, Bringing peacefulness and rest. IV. So man goes on through all his days. Striving with every breath, Till the night of life enfolds him In the silent arms of death. —George Kelly. 130 Immmm .■ ■ WSk •Ms r t v ZJt ‘-.v .-v' ■ %L' ?: v’4 . . w • V ?V‘v •‘v vtrvi iHXHl rccj i© Tj lj life WHY should we slight anyone—even if he is a teacher?

A. unprinted canto of Milton's ’Taradise Lost 'long unknown to the world, has been unearthed l v two of the world’s leading savants. Robert Parker and Donald Bostwick. This old manscript, which was discovered hidden in a secret panel of the old refrigerator at Shebat’s Quick Lunch, is of immense imj ortance because of the exact figures and data which it discloses upon the downfall of the angels. The owners have given the 1920 Hesperian the exclusive right of publication of the missing fragment. It is printed in the original with the figures of the angels’ speed corrected up to the ver minute that the 1 lesperian went to press. Over the Golden Gates, into the pit. Bottomless, abysmal, without an end. The angel Gabriel, waxing might’ly wroth. Kicked with his number 9 th’ unruly crowd Of angels blackened with contrariety. Veiling aloud they swore with violent oaths And slapp’d their thighs in dire antagony; But all of no avail, for turning back. The angel Gabriel amused himself By making juicy pies with mud of Heav’n. And so beyond the rim of space they flew. I'alling. racing, dropping, speeding, rushing. Hurrying, dashing, crashing always down They fell—and fall eternally, until They reach the bottom of the endless pit And since that day they have lxrcn dropping fast Through star-spear’d vacuum, void of air and rain. Accelerating every instant more Until their speed is nigh l cyond belief. The years to count 5000 now have sped Anti still they drop, those damned angel-souls; And years 5000 arc as seconds more. 1_5—7_6—9—4— —8-8 And 0—0—0; the figures make billions. Each second secs them thus far downward fall. The first 5 digits of the miles are these: 1—2—1—1—4. but that is not all. For there are 4—8—9—4—1—7— 6—0—5—8 more ciphers unexpress’d Which printed of a type one-half an inch Would follow 50 times around the earth.

Disguised as a deluge of water, 1 L'Omhrc. the noted French criminal, runs rapidly down the gutter. In a recent skirmish with twenty-four Gendarmes. L'Omhrc has contrived to lose his knife and short club, hut his well-oiled automatic is till in his left vest pocket. The noted French criminal, hurrying on his way, suddenly discovers that he has hut ninety-three centimes left. “Sarpejen! he exclaims, “and I wanted to see the opera tonight. Greatly desiring to hear the new Prima Donna, Madame Swellpipcs. L'Omhrc breathes a silent prayer to Krappes, the God of Chance, and. throwing off his disguise, steps out of the gutter before the dingy door of a notorious gambling-hell. There are few Temples of Luck indeed with whose password L’Omhrc is unfamiliar, hut it so happens that on the preceding evening M. Roulette, the proprietor, has changed from the French phrase which he had been using to the American expression, Bull Run. L’Omhrc knocks nineteen times on the door, pauses twice, and knocks eleven time- more. From a narrow slit, two ferret-sharp eyes gleam at him. L’Ombre pronounces the secret words, “Punime de Terre. in a low voice that the officer three kilometres away cannot hear. “That is no longer the sign says the guard. “I am forbidden to open the door without the proper word. Recurring as he is wont when deeply jH-rturhed to the American vernacular, L’Omhrc roars, Oh, Bull! Run away! L'Omhrc is admitted. Fifteen minutes later he quits the place with three million francs in gold crinkling in his hack pocket. L’Omhrc has broken the hank, and M. Roulette is employing expressions which it would be imprudent to publish. Hardened and hlood-sullied as he is. the criminal cherishes deep down in his heart a soft spot for all whom life has broken and scarred. And so. when he sees a little girl leaning against a street lamp, he pats her gently on the wet curls and asks her what it is that troubles her. I’nfortunately.” says the child, who at most is not more than two months of age, “my mother's finances have met reverses which render it imperative that we tender our creditors our entire estate, as well as many of our jxrrsonal effects. In a weak moment I was giving expression to my deep sorrow, scarcely expecting interruption on such a dismal night. L'Omhrc, who by this time is crying, too, presses into the child's hand two million francs and continues on his way in much better spirits. II. Ol'K next scene is laid in a musty cellar eighty-seven feet below the level of the Seine. The moisture oozes from the rocks and runs in little streams down the walls. In the center of the room is a crudely constructed table .n ! seated about it on ivory soap boxes are two men. Where is our master? asks one, whose face is hidden behind a neat mustache and bushy eyebrows. It is alreadv three o'clock and he is always punctual. “Patience, De Rot, patience! replies the other, who in the underworld of Paris is known as lx? Borgne because of his keen eyesight. The rues of 1c Quarticr Latin are winding and its alleys are filled with mishap. The candle flame wavers and grotesque shadows jig restlessly. He will come ere long, I.c Borgne goes on. Men may arrive, and men may depart, but L'Omhrc continues eternally. ’ Scarcely has he finished speaking than a concealed door in the masonry opens and who should stand there but L'Omhrc himself! Only when the door has closed tiehiml him does the criminal sought by the police of three continents speak t . “Bon soir, tm friends. says he. I regret my delay, but it was unavoidable. “We have been patient. responds Le Borgne. Scat yourself, master, and tell us of your adventures since we I have been only wandering. says L'Omhrc; here i« a sleazy thousand francs. With these words he throws that amount on the table and seats himself on a crystal soap box. L’Omhrc docs not mention the other nine hundred and ninetv-nine thousand in his back pocket. flow have you passed the time.' For answer Le Borgne produces two hundred and seventeen francs and De Rot lays down a plate worth four hundred and eighty-three francs. ....... . , , “The average is far almvc this says L'Omhrc. busying himself with paper and pencil. In twenty m mites he announces that there are 1700 francs to show for the efforts of the evening. Then, according to their custom. De Rot pours white wine from a long-necked bottle into three glasses, hacli lifts a glass high atavc his head while L'Omhrc slowly repeats the toast. “Long live Crime!” They drink and three glasses crash simultaneously on the floor.
