HEN the Community of Minneapolis became a great city with nearly half a million of population, with all the increased facilities for big accomplishment, with all the boards and systems necessary to carry on a gigantic corporation, with all the obligations and duties of a metropolitan municipality, it failed to lose its community character. Today, however, instead of a small, hustling community on the bank of the Mississippi, it is made up of a score or more local centers spread out over many square miles of territory. Each one is a distinct entity, each one has its distinct interests and ambitions, each one is proud of its individuality and its spirit. The public schools have had much to do with this feeling of local pride, and West High is truly proud of its community, its honor, and its glory. The Hesperian, this year, is dedicated to that community which so loyally and so unitedly has stood behind the interests and activities of the school. There is but one note of warning I would sound, one additional responsibility that I would impose, and it is this: In all the pride of community achievement, let us not forget that after all we are only a part of one big city and that we bear the same relation to that city that the several states bear to the national union. Our greatness must contribute to the greatness of Minneapolis or it is not real greatness after all. I am sure we all have this larger conception of our place as a community of communities. Very truly yours. Page 6 l. n. McWhorter. IN! I 908 Mki FORMAN QU'.LT THfc. CABIN WHICH STANDS ON THE S� TC Of THE POND CABIN THE LACOON BCTVJKEN LAKE OF'TWE.

A TRIBUTE TO THE WEST HIGH COMMUNITY WEST HIGH is proud of its community. All that a school could desire in the way of backing, no matter what the project, is immediately forthcoming from that source. One of the most active, the longest established organizations is the West High Parents and Teachers’ Association, whose beneficial results, if listed here, would be many and varied. Quite its highest pinnacle of service is reached in the closer co-operation between teacher and parent for the most effective advancement of scholarship. Then, too. who can tell how many lower classmen have been or will be spurred on to greater effort, inspired with higher ideals in learning when they see the recognition which the association now makes of the senior honor roll? Admission into the West Key Society, founded by this same organization in June, 1921, together with the gold key as a symbol of membership, is a worthy goal for which to strive, whose primary stepping stone is scholarship. To the Parents and Teachers Association do we owe the credit for much of the awakened interest throughout the West district in the last few years. The business interests of our community have long been loyal to West High School and its projects. Well deserved is the appreciation which the thought of such long standing support calls forth. Not only has our Weekly been considered worth while as a continual advertising agent but also every call for the use of furnishings in our class plays, for advertising in our yearly Hesperian—all these and more have been met with careful and considerate attention on the part of the solicited. Such prompt, dependable assistance has many times been an important factor in the success of the ventures engaged upon by the student body and faculty of West High. Although a newer branch of community support, the Athletic Mothers’ Club must lose no praise for its admirable work in the school. The Mothers of both the boys and the girls have joined to form one of the most gratifying organizations which this school possesses. Good, clean sportsmanship receives a life-giving impetus when these faithful patrons of athletics are to be seen at every game that West High plays. Corresponding to this club comes one that is even more recent in its establishment; namely, the Fathers’ Club of West High. Father is no longer just the usual business man; for he has become a boy again, together with all the other fathers, through the close companionship between father and son in the club. The plans for broadening the scope of the organization and for making it even more of a factor in school life than its late arrival in community circles now warrants, are well under way. Untold benefits are prophesied for such a club, the need of which has long been felt. For the privilege of calling such a community its own. West High is willing to do much. For have we not been told in some writing of the past, that, No matter what the price, no effort is too great when the ultimate ends justify the means. Hence our tribute to the most loyal community that it has ever been the good fortune of a school to possess, followed by our earnest pledge to make the best of our present opportunities, so that one day we shall become citizens who will be a credit to the West High Community. Margaret Weir. Page 9 CREEDS By Wanda Orton For tke Freshman 3f fflclteOf in clean, conspicuous books, in Seniors, and in minimum requirements. I promise to study all my lessons, to subscribe to the Weekly, and to greet my adviser every day with a smile, no matter how unfeeling that person may be in regard to my personal idiosyncrasies. 1 will at all times remember that it is the duty of the adviser to polish uncut stones, so that the gems may some day dazzle the sensibilities of the University of Minnesota. 1 shall have for my motto, Cheer up, little Koh-i-noor, you’ll be a crown jewel by and by. For the Sophomore 31 Jflflicbe in long auditorium sessions, in class excursions, and in minimum requirements. I promise to see all my fellow men with democratic vision—even Freshmen. Every day I will eat a well-balanced lunch, not combining pickles with milk, nor ice cream with hot soup. Under all circumstances will I endeavor to become enthusiastic about the square of the hypothenuse, book reports, and June lessons. My motto shall be, 1 may bolt, I may run, 1 may skip school if I will—but the minimum requirements follow me still. For the Junior 31 Jflfliebe in bidding farewell to the front hall crowd at 8:20, in cultivating an intellectual ten minutes in anticipation of the first hour class, and in passing all minimum requirements. For the hall locker I have at last received, the assiduous polishing from my adviser, and the important feeling 1 now possess, may I be properly thankful. Throughout the year my motto shall be. L’univers, I’univers, tout entier c’est a moi. 1 couldn’t have said that two years ago. For the Senior 3! Belittle in the general efficaciousness of English II, English V, English VII, and English X, in Batch, and our future athletic field. I no longer believe in minimum requirements; I don’t have to! They are my alter ego! 1 can confront with proper poise a parallel construction, a test by Miss Penney, or Mr. McWhorter. 1 promise to make my graduation pictures as interesting as possible, to buy a copy of the Hesperian, and to pay all my just debts. My motto shall be, All the world’s a stage. If I can’t play leads (as I am beginning to discover) let me make the characters worth while. For the Teacher 31 iBeliebe in the cheerful heart and the strong right arm, but not in too big a stick. I promise, after flaying myself daily with the scourge of self-criticism. to sleep peacefully and to arise next morning with incorrigible optimism. My class room shall be at all times a democracy; my motto, Which am I—grit in the wheels or oil in the cogs?” Page 10 THE VERDICT OF THE KU KLUX KLAN THE inmates of Tanglelodge were having a hilarious time. Shrieks of feminine laughter floated through the open windows. The bright lights streaming out into the dense foliage of the woods cast many a spookish shadow. The tall poplars softly whispered among themselves, while the grave oaks shook their heads in dire disapproval of the evening’s proceedings. Summery clad figures swayed to and fro in rhythm to the popular music that was being ground out by the Jazzerettes. Now when twelve of Tangleville’s most promising young women students of the largest high school, take it upon themselves to decide that man has become an old-fashioned ornament, something is bound to happen among the male population. At the height of the evening’s amusements, while dancing was still in its sway and refreshments were ready to be served, the door of Tanglelodge was suddenly thrust open and twelve white figures solemnly marched before the horror stricken gaze of girls and chaperon; the chief spoke. ’’We, the members of the High and Mighty Order of the Ku Klux Klan. do hereby order and ordain that these young women participating in annoying and unnecessary noise, and other actions known to ourselves, on this evening of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, have made it necessary for the male inhabitants of Tangleville to protest in the name of the law set down by the High Chief Potentate. A regular court session will take place. The organization will then remove to another apartment, returning within three minutes with verdict for said prisoners.” (Signed) HOKUS POKUM, High Chief of the Ku Klux Klan. Three minutes of anguish and terror had elapsed when the doors opened and the jurors filed in. The head juror, in a very dignified and solemn manner, handed over their written verdict. No need for requesting silence; the room was like death itself. Unrolling the document, the judge of the evening gravely glanced over the contents and shook his head. “It is decreed by my fellow Klansmen that this verdict be put in force because of the following transgressions of the listed delinquents. Mary Clemens, on Tuesday the ninth, came to her Virgil class unprepared; Gladys King, on Monday, reported with a failure in mathematics; Betty Mums on the seventh of said month snubbed our high and glorious basketball captain, Jim Dow; Dorothy Konn refused an invitation from our most lovable of football heroes, Dan Kenzie; Sally Mac, on same date was seen throwing paper wads at our illustrious instructor. Mr. Percival McProof; Dot, Betty, and Mitzel dared to call members of this Klan by undignified names that have never been used in the family Bible. Because of these violations, along with the unnecessary noises, disorderly conduct of the participants and the omission of the protecting male, it has been found necessary for me to read the following verdict: ‘That the condemned participants shall be made to dance for at least two hours with the members of this Klan.’ The watchful oaks and sleepy poplars heard many happy and relieved cries when the bogus Klansmen removed their masks and familiar faces were brought to light.

Along the silent, hidden, moonlit way. Where you can see the moon there also may You see her dark twin sisters’ shadows shifting; The one so fair, more beautiful than day. The others always shifting, never lifting From the path their soft black feet, but always drifting. Winifred Lynskey. AFTER THE STORM A sweep of snowy plain To the western sun A mist of threat’ning sky Although the storm is done. A group of eerie ghosts That yesterday were trees. Weird wailing of the winds Across the frozen seas. Now the storm King’s power Has wrought its mighty will. Wrapt in its shroud of white The world is passive, still. Save from yonder thicket A flitting opal flame— Against the dreary background A blue-jay calls for rain. Page 12 Loleta Stout. MARTIAN LEARNING (Being an excerpt from the novel, Looking Down,” by Snosrap Yeldud. Edited by E. Dudley Parsons.) (( A ND what are they?” asked the Martian. They are students,” I replied, focussing the etherscope upon West High School, and putting the etherphone attachments on our heads. ‘Students? What are students?” “They are boys and girls who run from room to room in the great building that you see and tell persons called teachers what facts they have gleaned. Do these students learn to think by this method? No. There are too many of them for that. A student now and again forms independent opinions. Usually they think what their teachers think and the teachers don’t think much because they were trained in the same way.” We could never tolerate a system like that! How do you teach your young? No one can be taught; he must teach himself, chiefly through observation. No one teaches a baby to rub his eyes, to walk or to talk. Every child on our planet is guaranteed not only sustenance but opportunity to learn. In fact, we make it easier to learn than not to learn. In every neighborhood there is a playground, workshop, garden, picture-gallery, laboratory, museum, music-hall and library. Therefore our children reason about scientific, artistic, literary, or mechanical matters as easily as your children reason about their play. Or do your children reason? Oh yes. outside of school they do. As infants they are often wonderful with imagination and joy, quick in observing, ready at response. One of our philosophers has said that they come into being with memories of a former and richer experience, ‘trailing clouds of glory,’ but that as they grow into the cares of our earth, ‘shades of the prison-house begin to close’ upon them. At any rate they begin to lose originality as they become older. What do you Martians do about your higher education? There is no ‘higher education' any more than there is a ‘higher’ thought, ‘higher’ beauty, ‘higher’ love. These savages, as you called the denizens of the jungle that you showed me yesterday, were doing as reasonable things as your West High students—feasting, decorating themselves and chattering —and they seem to be building and destroying without so much self-conscious worry as what your civilized people betray. And you? I asked. Ah, we Martians solved the problem of living so many ages ago that what you show me of the earth is almost unbelievable-----cities where people starve, while a little distance away, farmers burn food. Electric heat, light, and power passing over the heads of millions who crave these boons; the careful salvation of idiots, while your best young men are slaughtered in meaningless war, or heedless industry; laughter smothered by murderous assault and song choked by pain. And you? I repeated. We are the angels of whom you dream dimly. Of us your little children have heart-knowledge and are happy. Among us nature moves with calm, and life is balanced. -------- Page 13 GYPSYING Comes a call .... Strong as the throbbing floods of spring Over the rock beds foaming. Strange as the plaintive notes that bring The heart from the wildest birds that sing; That is all, A gypsy heart is roaming. Comes a call .... Sweet as the scent of fading flowers. Secret as the gloaming; Cradling the heart through quiet hours In the lulling lap of summer showers That fall, A gypsy heart is homing. Agnes Turner. PREFACE TO A JAZZ DICTIONARY I N hope of gaining renown for that which its own nature forbids to be of ' general use. I have devoted this book, the product of several modern “teen” minds, to the teachers of the country, trusting that it will enable them to more readily translate and assimilate the thoughts which modern students expound during the course of an ordinary conversation. Not wishing to conflict with my contemporaries, I have debarred from my dictionary all words which have heretofore been regarded as the tools of the literary and business worlds, unless these words have come into usage thoroughly disguised, as has the adjective keen” of late returned in the form of a noun to puzzle the minds of the grammarians as to the constitutionality (grammatically speaking) of the popular colloquialism. There’s the keen. Therefore, I dedicate this book, in the hope of simplifying the art of pedagogy, to those who, due to lack of proper association and environment, have failed to become proficient in the twentieth-century art of draping the line. Wishing also to give proper recognition to the patron who has been the immediate inspiration of this work, through constant looks of awe when confronted in class by the phraseology of her youthful subjects, I hereby especially dedicate this book to Miss Edith M. Penney, who as hitherto stated has made me realize the necessity of such a volume. Trusting that this work will dispel the clouds of despair. I ask to remain, Her Ladyship’s most obedient (sometimes) and most humble servant, GOODENOW R. WINTER. Page 14 TEA WE were lounging idly before a roaring fire in my English friend’s comfortable home near London. The house was, as he was, typically English. The chairs, the table, the tea kettle, the blue china cups, were all unmistakably English. I had a feeling that all 1 needed was a red muffler round my neck and a pair of silver buckles on my shoes to be an accurate Dickens character. But nevertheless, I had had a fine, a well-er-comfortable dinner, you know. I had no doubts about it. 1 was beginning to feel that delicious warmth and content that radiated from the fire, overpower me and slightly numb my consciousness, but 1 was fully determined to keep my mind on my friend’s conversation. “I say, Hal, what are you thinking about?’’ This question, seemingly out of a void, roused me again to life. “What I shall dream about tonight,” I responded foggily. “1 say, Hal, don’t you think you'd better have another cup of tea?” I declined with a shake of the head which caused me an effort. The Englishman believes his beastly tea to be a remedy for everything. It's even a stimulantl “Do you always plan your dreams? asked my friend. “Always, 1 replied, but sometimes they forget to follow the plan. How strange, murmured my friend, and in the midst of wondering whether he meant my plans or the fact that the dreams sometimes refused to obey me, I was startled by hearing the same exclamation uttered in an entirely different voice. How strange! said the voice. 1 sat up hurriedly and with a suddenness that made my head throb. Standing in the doorway, with a dark cape thrown over his shoulders, was a tall man whose features I could not distinctly make out. May 1 ask what is so strange to you? 1 demanded brusquely of this intruder. He made no answer but gazed fixedly at my companion and then advanced with outstretched hand. Bobby Thornton ! To find you here! Bobby seized his whiskers in one hand and the stranger’s fingers with the other and gazed into his eyes. “Max! he said in a hoarse whisper, Max Nicovai from the south of Russia! As the man advanced into the firelight, I saw a remarkable face. Black waving hair tossed back from a high, broad forehead, level brows, and clear-cut features. But his eyes as he glanced at me' seemed to send a shudder to my very heart. They were hot gray, black-rimmed, filled with a tragic intensity of feeling and set in a white mask of a face. My friend Thornton came out of his trance and presented me to Nicovai and we all sat around the fire and sipped luke-warm tea. Nicovai spoke in sentences or rather half-sentences that left them to your imagination to fill out. 1 met Max on that Russian adventure 1 told you about, Hal. said my friend; he was the young gentleman who secured the boat and maneuvered me down the river that memorable night. Can 1 do something for you, Max? Yes. replied the Russian, passing his long white fingers through his hair, strange to come to you. There is trouble. A shipment of goods sent Page 15 from China through Russia and the Balkans. Tea. I believe. At Litzen, dangerous ammunition was substituted for the tea. No one knows save the agents and I. The tea arrives at Penning Station at 12:40—tonight. He turned his eyes to me. May I ask, said I, have you the confidence of those agents? No. Against them. I know, but they do not know me. Something must be done, said Bobby, twisting the ends of his gray moustache fiercely. You know? Nicovai nodded. They will unload that shipment on the right bank of the river. You know what buildings lie on the other side. Come. We put on our coats and went out. It was as dark a night as I have ever seen. No light and little sound. Just a thick, pitchy blanket that weighed on my mind like an unpaid debt, for I am conscientious. I looked at my watch as we silently stumbled along. It was 12:38. As we approached the station we heard the signal and the rumbling of the on-coming train. I felt Nicovai’s hand guiding me and presently found he had led us to a high fence. He motioned us to conceal ourselves in the bushes, where we could see by the watchmen’s lanterns something of what was going on without being seen ourselves. The train drew up, puffing and blowing. Men gave hoarse orders and began unloading. Box after box was lifted from the freight cars and carried to the barn on the river bank. So long we watched that my knees grew cramped, my back lame and my throat dry. I wanted to croak, yell, or sing, but the powers of action were denied me. The train groaned, puffed, and slid away into the darkness and still we had not moved. The minutes passed and the silence hung around us like a dense, oppressing fog. Then I felt a pressure on my arm and stiffly rose to follow my companions. Stealthily we crept along the fence until we were behind the barn. Nicovai whispered an order to Thornton, who immediately disappeared. He led me to a small door at one side of the bam. It could hardly be called a door, since it was scarcely a foot and a half high. Watch inside and wait, he hissed in my ear. His hot gray eyes flashed into mine for an instant and then I was alone. I drew a deep breath and squeezed through the opening with difficulty. Darkness—inky darkness, blank and solid. I thought of matches and then of the ammunition and then the matches again. A foolish fear seized me. I must have light! The match sputtered and flared up. All around and stacked up to the ceiling were the boxes of ammunition labeled tea. Tea! Tea! Tea! Strange, ominous, threatening tea! The match went out, but the picture remained stamped on my mind. How long I stood there with the burnt match in my hand I do not know. I only knew that sooner or later I should scream—and yet I could not. I could feel those boxes as though I had their entire weight upon my shoulders! I turned blindly to the door and saw to my horror that a body was worming through the aperture. I stood rooted to the floor. 1 could not move. I could not speak. The figure stumbled to its feet. A match flamed, and, amazed, I stared into the wide, terror-stricken eyes of Max Nicovai. Why, what’s the matter, Hal! came Bobby Thornton's voice close to my ear. Been having a bally nightmare, what? I say, really, you look bad! Let me fix you a good hot cup of tea!

O’Gordon Mi Ruth WiUon TO PROMOTE athletics, fellowship, and co-operation at West has been the purpose of the Aces club since it was formed. The Aces boost good, clean, athletics of all kinds, and do all they can to live up to the school slogan. West Wins. Every member of the Aces either has earned a school letter or is trying hard to do so. It is the only organization of its kind in school, and it should always continue to function as a club which promotes the best interests of West High. This year the club has given several successful social affairs for the school. Meetings are held every two weeks, the members entertaining in turn. At the meetings school problems are discussed and if there is anything the club can do to help out at West, it is always ready. At this time several of the members are graduating; so their places will have to be filled by other fellows who have the old West spirit in their hearts. We who are graduating wish good luck to the fellows in the club next year, and sincerely hope that they will continue the work of the Aces in such loyal manner as shall carry West High to the front rank of the most progressive High Schools of this country.

A meeting of the club is held one period every day in order to prepare the operas and other musical productions that are given during the season. For this reason the work required of the members is placed on an equal basis with other major subjects. Glee Club productions are worked out in such a manner as to develop mentality, musicianship, self-control, and initiative. This season the patriotic pageant, To Arms For Liberty, was presented in the West High Auditorium. The opera, Chimes of Normandy, was given in the city auditorium, on February 28, 1922. Robin Hood” will be presented during the spring term in one of the Minneapolis Parks. All the members enjoyed the party which was given in March. The Glee Club work is designed to serve two major purposes. The first, and most important, is to make Glee Club members reliable and conscientious workers, men and women who will be helpful citizens, constantly striving to attain high ideals. The second purpose is to produce both dramatic and vocal work of the highest quality. The standards which members of this organization must conform with are very high and one should feel proud to be a member of this active and efficient organization. The Glee Club appreciates the support it constantly receives from the Parents, the Faculty, and the Student Body. The co-operation of the Board of Education, Mr. L. N. McWhorter, Mr. T. P. Gruwell, and Mr. Giddings has made it possible for the Glee Club to accomplish its many tasks. West High School can depend on the Glee Club to support any constructive movement for the betterment of the school and the community. Berkeley Leighton, President.

The members of this club represent practically every organization in the school and through this have done their best to help the school in every way. At the different games in which the school has participated the W Club has tried to show the best of sportsmanship and keep down all forms of rowdyism that have appeared. It is thought by many that the W Club is not as active as it should be, but if a person looks under the surface of things it will be found that the W Club has acted even though there has not been much said or heard about it.

We are rather an unobtrusive, taken-for-granted organization. Indeed, it’s very true that our cheers do not ring through the auditorium during session, but our poems and stories do enliven the pages of the Weekly and Hesp.” We admit that we have not turned out any prodigies of Shakespeare or Milton, but some of us have written things that the members themselves will always hold within their memories.

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer AT THE beginning of the school year last fall the Hi-Y Club at West underwent a complete reorganization. Officers were elected, and after the committee chairmen were appointed a definite program was laid out for the club. The three committees are the Membership, Program, and Service. Each committee has a definite task to undertake. Under the able assistance of Dick” Haupt, West Lake Y. M. C. A. Secretary, the club made rapid progress. Before long the membership list consisted of forty-five fellows. At the close of the first term in December the U. C and Hi-Y Clubs participated in a very successful party consisting of a banquet with a very interesting speaker followed by dancing in the girls' gymnasium. A freshman reception was given by the Hi-Y Club at the beginning of the second term which was a great success. Another event of the year was a two-day outing which the club took during spring vacation. Although the membership is limited to junior and senior boys, the club’s enrollment should not be small. This year “Batch has been our faculty adviser and the fellows appreciate the interest he has taken in the club. There are numerous things that such a group of fellows can do to better the school and further its interests. If those who are not in the club now will become members next year they will see that the Hi-Y Club does the most for those who put the most into it. Wallace Reminton, President. Page 26 ORGAN OUR new pipe organ was installed in April by the Woettler-Holtkamp-Sparling Organ Co. of Cleveland. Ohio. This gives West High School the only pipe organ in a high school in the northwest. The organ was secured entirely through the efforts of the Glee Club and the Orchestra. Two operas. Pinafore and Chimes of Normandy, netted sufficient returns to pay for the organ, which cost $2,500. The organ is placed in the music room, where it will be used in connection with Chorus and Glee Club work. It will also be available for public recitals and concerts. Mr. Earl L. Baker has had the organ in mind for several years and it was through his untiring efforts that it is possible for our school to enjoy this splendid instrument. As he says, There is nothing too good for our young men and women in the school. The organ is of the manual type, electrically equipped and is so constructed that extra units can be added from time to time.

Baker, has accomplished much. The part that the orchestra played in making the opera “Pinafore a success will long be remembered. The Unfinished Symphony, by Shubert, was creditably played by the orchestra for the commencement exercises of the December, 1921, graduating class. The orchestra also played a major part in the pageant, To Arms for Liberty.” given as an Armistice program November 10, 1921. Many splendid overtures have been played during the past year and the quality of the work has been of the best. The school orchestra is suffering because of a lack of balance in the string section, namely the violas and cellos. These instruments add rich, full, and expressive tones to any composition, and we need them badly. The orchestra members are given a daily training in solidity and balance of tones. Contrast and variety of tones are carefully studied. The uses and abuses of each orchestral instrument are carefully explained to the members, which makes them more efficient artists on their instruments. The orchestra librarian has received one hundred dollars worth of music from the board of education, and is delighted with this much needed material. West High School orchestras have successfully played: The Messiah The Creation Christophorus To Arms for Liberty Fair Ellen Death of Minnehaha The Jupiter Symphony The Unfinished Symphony Pinafore Mikado Chimes of Normandy Robin Hood Page 29 DcGrool Jacobsen Morris Gill Applwjuist Cochrane Connell Hammond Leighton Winter Beyers Baker Chowning Sweet Wells MacGregor Thompson Hopkins Miss Wilson Wilcox Harrington Cooper Officers Maxine Wilcox...............................President James Gill................................Pice-President Marjory Thompson............................Secretary-Treasurer THE Dramatic Club has continued its work this year with the purpose of studying and producing the better plays of the East, and of our own city. Our greatest difficulty, however, in doing this, lies in the fact that we have no stage, no place where we can produce our plays. Miss Ruth Wilson, our faculty adviser, has kindly offered her room, but still our problem is unsolved. The room will only accommodate between 40 to 60 people and plays can be produced only on a small scale. Besides having regular business meetings, we have had social meetings at which short plays have been produced for the members to criticize. Our first two plays. Tommy’s Wife, and Miss Civilization, met with much success and encouraged us to undertake the production of a Patriotic Program in February before the whole school. We wish to thank the faculty and the students for the support they have so generously given us. Maxine Wilcox. President. Page 30 “MILESTONES (i M 1 LESTONES proved true to its name as one of the most important IVI events in the history of the December 1921 class. Presenting a play of the excellence of “Milestones” is in itself a distinction, but presenting it as well as the December class did. is a real achievement. Nannette Jayne as Gertrude, Octa French as Rose Sibley. John Jordan as John Rhead, Philip Elliott as Ned Pym, and Tom Groverman as Lord Monkhurst, did work that won for them places in West’s dramatic hall of fame. Close rivals for favor in the eyes of the public, the other members of the cast did their full share to make the production most excellent. The rest of the cast were: Sam Sibley. Donald Gilhllan; Mrs. Sibley. Aubine McCrea; Emily Rhead, Dorothy Adams: Arthur Preece, Karl Witt; Nancy Sibley, Marguerite Ryan; Hon. Muriel Pym. Rosalyn Skellet; Richard Sibley, Robert Rice; Thompson, Willis Kimball; Webster. Doree Pommer. “ROLLO’S WILD OAT a p OLLO’S Wild Oat” was presented by the H June class at North High. April 28th. This play proved to be most satisfactory both from the point of view of adaptability to the actors, and from the point of view of the enjoyment by the audience. A large share of the success of the play was due to the cooperation of the costume, art, and property committees working under June Crysler. Elizabeth Cuzzort, and Dorothy Womrath, and the faculty committee: Mr. R. L. Southworth, Mr. T. P. Gru-well. Mr. C. R. Richardson, and Miss Zelma Goldsworthy. Rollo, around whom the play centers, a typically modern youth, was played by James Gill with an ease and understanding that gave him credit. Marjorie Sweet. The Wild Oat, took her part exceptionally well. Priscilla Cooper was the cutest little sister that Rollo could want. The character parts were remarkably well taken by George Boos. Franklin McWhorter, and Goode-now Winter, who in turn brought humor, gruffness, and solemnity into the play. Shakesperian actors: Katherine Salmon, as Mrs. Park Gales; Dwight Hammond, as Mr. Skitterling. and Kenneth Nelson, as Camperdown, all did their parts to make the play a success. Mr. Lucas, known as Charles Morris, made a very eloquent lover as well as a Shakesperian actor. Aunt Lane, taken by Marcella Rossiter, and Bella, the fresh maid, taken by Pauline Smith, both in their way helped to pacify the household and to arouse excitement. “PINAFORE” IN JUNE, 1921, the West High School Glee Club presented “Pinafore,” on ■ Lake Calhoun. Much time and labor was spent in preparing for this operetta, but the proceeds from the box office, which totaled over $2,000, fully merited this effort. Through the courtesy of the La Crosse Dredging Co., Mr. Baker was allowed to use barges, that were at the bottom of Lake Calhoun for the deck of the ship. Every afternoon the boys and girls of the Glee Club went over and pumped water out of the barges. Soon they had them raised and built into a stage much resembling a ship. Electricity was obtained from a nearby current, and the foot and overhead lights were excellent. Sidney Beskin and Corice Woodruff played the leads, with much ability. Arnold Schulz, who played the part of an old sailor, Dick Deadeye, amused hundreds of people by his antics and graceful dives. Berkeley Leighton as the Hon. Sir Joseph Porter K. C. B. with all of his sisters and his cousins “whom he reckons by the dozens, and his auto,” was well received by his audience. “THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY THE mid-year production of the Glee Club was a great success. The Chimes of Normandy was given in the Minneapolis Auditorium, which, through the courtesy of Mr. T. P. Giddings, was received gratis. After a nine weeks’ rehearsal the operetta was put before the public with Sidney Beskin as the Marquis de Cornville, Effie Harrington as Geumaive. the lost Marchioness, and Genevieve Naegele and George Langford as the good-for-nothings.” George Seymour and Berkeley Leighton, who performed in the comedy parts of the Notary and the Bailli, created much amusement for the large audience. The proceeds—which amounted to $600—were added to the Pinafore profits, and the whole was used to buy a pipe organ for 404, our music room. Officers James Barton -Robert Clayton Georce Cornell ....

Any person can join the Club if he expects to take Physics three terms. The Club was reorganized in the fall of 1921. rhe principal interest of the Club so far this year has been Radio. We have ordered a set and hope to receive and have it in working order before the close of the school year. The receptor is a Grebe CR9 with a detector and a two step amplifier. We hope to be able to receive more than 2,000 miles with this set. The transmitter, which is a combination wireless telephone and wireless telegraph, is an Adams Morgan 2-5U, 400 C. W. Type. We hope to be able to send 25 miles with the phone and 500 miles with the telegraph.

Faculty Adviser THE Daubers’ Club, organized for the purpose of creating an interest in art, has just completed another successful year. Tryouts are held at the beginning of each term, and from the appearance of the large number trying out for the club, it is evident that more and more of the students are beginning to appreciate the value of a helpful art club. In order to raise money for necessary materials, a candy sale was held last Hallowe’en. The decorative boxes in which the candy was sold were made by the club. The chief work of the club during the first term this year was assisting with the staging of the December class play. With the advice and assistance of Miss Edith Penney and Miss Georgia Rees, we planned the color combinations for the different scenes and also helped with the stage settings. Part of the club, who belong to the regular art classes of the school, have enrolled in Mr. Dudley Crafts Watson’s interest sketching class at the Art Institute. We hope that next year will be just as successful for the Daubers as this year has been. JEAN HALLSTROM, President.

The membership at that time was fixed at twelve girls, all those except freshmen being eligible to try out for the club. Present—This year, the Club has had for its primary object that of creating more general interest in debating in the school as a whole. To further this aim, in a co-educational school, the membership is now composed of nine girls and nine boys. The debates that have been held throughout the year have been well worth the time spent by those who prepared them, and those who attended these exhibitions of forensic art. Future—Outside of the obvious wish for the Debaters’ Club to expand and to become even more successful than it has in the past, we have one important hope for the future, which is to put inter-scholastic debating on a permanent basis. Furthermore, under the splendid and capable guidance of our faculty adviser, Miss Wanda Orton, we mean to make the project a definite part of our next year’s program. Marcarf.T Wf.ir, President.

At that time the common troubles of such an organization were discussed and remedied as far as possible. Under the new plan, only second year Spanish students are eligible and these must be true enthusiasts. By this method the undesirables are eliminated and the speaking of Spanish during the meetings is greatly facilitated. The Spanish Club is. primarily an organization for the broadening in every way of interest in Spanish. The meetings are held every third Tuesday at the home of various members. Following a short business session is the literary program which has included many interesting talks by prominent men. a few short Spanish plays and some musical compositions. The club is especially favored in its faculty advisers: Miss Frances Hicks studied in Spain last summer and Senor Jorge Alborta is a South American. We hope to attain a real Spanish flavor during the meetings before the close of the year.

Rees in the fall of 1920, by a few students who were interested in photography. The purpose of the club is to promote the art of photography. The members are learning how to compose, expose, develop, print, and enlarge. In order to raise funds, the club took pictures of the school and sold the postcards for a small sum. During the latter part of the year, the club has been devoting its services to the Hesperian, taking pictures for the feature section, title pages, and headings. The membership is limited to twelve members. Francis Kif.rski. President.

Those eligible for membership are juniors and seniors of commendable scholarships, who are able to assist Miss Leet in the library one period each day. The system of taking attendance in the library has been well organized and has proved helpful. Aside from its duties during school time the club has had one social meeting each term. In the spring of 1921, the Round Table had a Book Drive which added to the library many worthwhile and useful books. During the winter term the club entertained several other clubs and the Senior Class at an afternoon tea when Mr. Wells talked on Book Collecting as a Hobby. Isabel Bladon. Secretary and Treasurer.

Cadet 2nd Lieutenant THE West High Cadet Company has just completed its most successful year. At the annual cadet camp, held at Fort Snelling in the spring of 1921, West’s Company won the Company Rifle Competition. At the same time, a West High cadet. Private Rolf Smith, won the individual rifle competition with a perfect score. Last September the Company was raised to a strength of seventy-five cadets, making the largest company West has ever had. During the fall, many expeditions and tactical walks were made; trips were also made to the rifle range at Fort Snelling. In December a supper was given, and Central men were invited; Major Sherburne gave a talk on West Point. The Company took part in a great many school activities of the year. In December, the West Company made a splendid showing in the competitive drill. It won second place, losing by a small margin to Company “B” of Central. During the winter term, a system of scholarship merit ribbons was introduced; here again West came to the fore, having two gold bar men. In February, Captain Stanley McKay was promoted to Major, and Hans Ramm was appointed Captain. Page 40 m TEACHERS WEST HIGH PARENTS AND TEACHERS ASSOCIATION Officers Mrs. L A.

During this length of time the members have been brought closer together, both in our studies and in a social way. We know that the spirit of the class has made itself felt while we attended West, but now that we have graduated, much as we may wish to, we can do but little to help influence the destinies of our school. Although the December 1921 class may be forgotten, we know that we can never forget the four years we have spent at West. They have been full of happiness and it is with the deepest regret that we say good-bye to the school and the teachers that have done so much to help us become better citizens. Class of December. 1921, John Jordan, President. Page 44 Matciian Ryan Witt DECEMBER EXECUTIVE BOARD A LTHOUGH December classes will always have the obstacle of a short-ened term to overcome on account of the time consumed after the long summer vacation, in getting the wheels of administration to running smoothly again, in warming up the class enthusiasm and spirit, and in the installing of new officers, we, the class of December, 1921, have proved our greater unity and strength by the quality and quantity of activities accomplished in such a short time. As B“ seniors, we gave a picnic at Spring Park in honor of the June graduates. Our class day, banquet, and dance were notable events in our history. The class play, “Milestones. was given December 9 in the auditorium of Central High. A goodly sum was netted which was added as a class memorial to the fund now on hand for the erection of a stadium and athletic field. When this dream stadium becomes a reality, our class will look upon it with especial pride and satisfaction and will always feel that our mite was rightfully placed. An especially helpful baccalaureate address was made December 4 by Dr. Bugbee of the Hennepin M. E. church, and commencement exercises were held in the West auditorium on December 8. We have found that the smaller size of the December classes need be no hindrance toward success and accomplishment, and in many ways is a distinct advantage. Closer friendships may be formed, individual talents recognized, and the affairs of the class handled by a larger percentage of its members. We are especially proud of the greater proportionate number of honor students and W“ men included in our personnel. And so let us go into new fields with the same desire for success and as alumni endeavor to do honor to our beloved West High School. Octa French. Secretary.

We accomplished our desires, and although a small class, we showed a great deal of class spirit. We were not allowed certain privileges other graduating classes were allowed, still we had perfect unity, and I may safely say we set a good record for any other March class to follow. In athletics, school activities, and social affairs, we have met with much success. We all know of the untiring work in which the teachers of our school have given their patient assistance. The March Class especially wishes to thank Miss Goldsworthy, and Mr. Richardson for the part they played in the success of the class. 1 take the liberty to extend to our principal and teachers our most sincere appreciation on behalf of the March Class of 1922. Albert Stiefel, President. page 59 Waldron Stout Jonh MARCH CLASS EXECUTIVE BOARD THE March Senior Class met to organize and elect officers in September, 1921. Albert Stifel was elected president; Irene Helgerson, vice-president; Loleta Stout, treasurer; and Harrison Simmons, secretary. William Waldron was elected to serve on the executive board with the officers. Our class of 1922 was small, as has been the case with previous March classes. However, this did not interfere with our class activities. Tire first affair handled by the class was the taking over of the Lagoon Theatre for the purpose of raising money to finance the March dinner dance. The money was easily raised, and the dance was given March 9, in the school library. It was the first of our social gatherings, and was a great success. It was decided that on account of the small number in our class, the class play would be given with the June class. March 1 2, our baccalaureate service was held at the Hennepin Avenue Church. The sermon was preached by Dr. Lucius Bugbee, and the diplomas were given out by Mr. L. N. McWhorter. This properly closed our activities at West. Page 60 Harrison Simmons, Secretary. Donald G.

THE members of the Class of June. 1922, have now reached the time of our departure from West High School. Probably the greatest idea we had when we were freshmen was to graduate, and get out of school, yet when that time of graduation comes and the freshmen has passed year by year, he wishes that he could begin all over again. It is very probable that the class of June will graduate a greater number of school athletes than any class of the past. Our class has also achieved a great deal of success in scholarship and in social activities. We only hope that in the coming years the class of June. 1922, can look back to West High and still see the fighting spirit of the teams, and the support, and sportsmanship of the student body, prevail above everything else. We have done our best to help the school in every manner possible, and whether we have succeeded or failed does not rest upon our shoulders to decide. In one last thought we wish to express our sincere thanks to the teachers and to our principal for their faithful assistance and kindness in their efforts to do the most good for us. Tommy Rugg, President. Bykjls Mobri.s JUNE CLASS EXECUTIVE BOARD THE June Class of '22 has no precedent to establish. We have no special distinction for which we will be noted in years to come; in fact, we have only one feature which holds us apart from all other classes that have been graduated from West High School, and that is that we are the largest class that has ever left the portals of Dear Old West.” Some people would consider this a handicap, but we consider it an asset. The executive board, consisting of Thomas Rugg, Priscilla Cooper. Marjorie Sweet, Wallace Remington, Rodney Byers, and Charles Morris, while planning the various functions over which the seniors have charge, had supreme confidence in the class, because we knew that although we were large, each student had West High at heart, and that they would work together for the benefit of our school and our class.

Robb P-Q-Y-S-Z. The signal came to me early in the evening of June 9, 1940. The message came from Washington, D. C. Mr. Kenneth Newhouse, Republican candidate for president, will speak. Ladies and gentlemen, elect me for president, and you’ll never be sorry. Why elect Franklin McWhorter? He’s way above you. Put one of the common people in the presidential chair.” Then Elizabeth V. Cuzzort, candidate for the vice-presidency, announced her intentions of fighting for the No Dog License amendment if elected to office, and declared for the prohibition of Eskimo Pies. I turned the tuning coil, and presently I heard Harriet Levinson playing in Chicago. Miss Levinson gives lessons at $500 per hour. She was playing the old-time musical favorite, K-K-K-Katie. Then Margaret Weir, the world’s famous pipe organist, who had just returned from five years’ study abroad, played a part of the beautiful The Jazz Queen. 1 turned the tuning coil again, and heard Charles Morris, the great Irish advocate, who was talking from his home in Cork. His orator friend, Harry Applequist, followed him with a lengthy oration favoring a study of Bolshevism in all colleges in the world. Again radio proved my messenger, for into my ears came the famous soliloquy of Hamlet, spoken from New York. The words, To be or not to be. came booming, and I recognized the voice of the famous Shakesperean actor, Goodenow Winter. Miss Marjory Sweet’s rendition of Ophelia was magnificent. A slight turn of the tuning coil, and 1 heard Miss Martha Slaughter Her-delberg, Ph. D., giving a lecture on The Value of Ignorance. The station was Paris, and presently Miss Mary Joeckel, designer of Parisian gowns, gave the outlook of gowns for the next season. Then from Boston, came the voice of Agnes Turner, America’s most popular poet, reading a sonnet entitled, To My Husband. Priscilla Cooper, popular movie star, and Doris Deutsche, a comedian of national fame, gave talks. Miss Cooper spoke on The Good Old Days of Censorship. while Miss Deutsche spoke on Why the Movies Made Me Thin. A-E-F-U-S, and then General Stanley A. McKay presented the need of a new cannon to guard the West High Campus, as an appropriation bill was before Congress for that purpose. He was followed by Miss Mary Staples. United States Immigration Commissioner, giving a resume of the work in her department. From Joliet, Illinois, came the excited voice of Governor Franklin Roch-ford saying, The State Prison is overcrowded; we’ve got to have more room. Why. just the other day, Ralph Clark, the prison warden, told me that when one fellow moved, all the others had to stand still. We must change this state of affairs, or it will mean death to democracy. Do-Re-Mi. An excited rattling and then: We have this announcement: Thomas Rugg has broken all official records by jumping over the Eiffel Tower. 1 moved the tuning coil, but there was nothing more for this evening. Well, anyhow, there were a lot of record-breakers that came from West High. Page 101 OPPORTUNITY—OUR PILOT Agnes Turner, '22 As hewn in marble on the crags of time, Among the ruthless gods Our Pilot holds His sway. And in his dauntless eyes a will sublime Lit by Heav’n’s serenest ray Halts mortals in a sluggish way; Forward he seems to leap. And with impassioned bugle to his lips Resounding from the highest mountain tips. Calls us from sleep. Not ready yet He deems us for the quest Whose faintest notes our stirring hearts have known. He only calls us from an aimless rest. But in each heart a seed of knowledge sown Will one day bear a fruit He calls His own; With troubled eyes we gaze on stranger world. Naught that we seem to know but what we feel Of truth, will be a welded sword of steel. And her bright flag unfurled. Like ships upon the ocean’s bosom swell Whose drooping sails in dismal shadows fall. And whispering waves of darkest secrets tell Beneath a slumbering water’s wall. That lie, and listen to the plaintive call Of chiming bells in ever distant spire— And men must fall upon their knees and pray. Where burns, that they may sing and weep each day. An altar-fire. Above the world in misty crags He stands. Upon His chosen, stern compassion bent, And from the bugle in His up-raised hands. Far-flung the silvered notes are sent— The veils of earthly knowledge rent; Deep in the sheltered bay the echoes fall. Like a flock of winged birds together lie. And lifting lofty pinions to the sky Answers His call. Side by side we stand upon a threshold where We learned the lessons, that the great may teach, But dimly glimpsed the goal we longed to reach; There once again the Pilot’s voice we know. Where out upon the bay He sees us go— And when in separate ports each sail may fall, Together know again a magic hour. And every friendly heart reknow the power Of bugle call! Page 102 JUNE 1922 CLASS WILL WE, THE Senior class of West High School, being in our right minds, strange as it may seem, declare this to be our last will and testimony. We give, devise, and bequeath our property and privileges; To the Freshies of said school, we first and foremost bequeath the right to aspire to the dignity of our lofty position, then, and then only may you have freedom of speech and actions within the great halls of West. To you we leave the front hall, a rendezvous of the ten hounds and the ten houndesses. and placed there in the ever-patient and ever-standing radiator, a leaning post for all the mighty Seniors. To those who pursue the art of learning, gum chewing, and gossiping, we bequeath the funereal library under the rule of the Queen Leet. The above inheritance also includes all the old tennis shoes found in the halls along with all our old playthings. The privileges of occupying the velvet-cushioned seat in the balcony of the awe-inspiring auditorium of West, and the sole right to use our ever serviceable elevators, we also leave to the Freshmen. To the Sophomores who are renowned in their knowledge and their worldliness, we here bequeath the privilege heretofore enjoyed by the Seniors, of assuming the personal guardianship of all erring Freshmen. We also leave the exclusive right of using all the excuses and the official line of bluffs which we originated while at West. We also agree to bestow upon our worthy heirs of the Sophomore class, all the space in the lunch room originally occupied by Deutsche and Dooley. The hope of the possibility of spending the time of advisory period paddling over the watery billows of Lake of the Isles we also leave to the Sophomores. To the Juniors we leave the full rites of the Seniors and hope that they will be able to help Mr. McWhorter run West. We also bequeath unto them a prize package marked left overs.” whose credits were found lacking at the eleventh hour. To T. P. Gruwell we leave a well-earned Rest in Peace that he has not known since he first undertook to check up our credits. To Miss Susan Heffernan we bequeath all lost and found articles which she has the right to pawn, while to Miss Wanda Orton we leave all the high-heeled shoes on the premises, and to Miss Penney all the old Weeklies which she will have the sole right to sell in order to pay her traveling expenses for her trip abroad. To Batch we leave all the surrounding willow trees which bear on their branches an ample supply of switches. To Miss Labreche we leave the remaining package of blank excuse slips which she may sell at five cents apiece to those who may aspire to skip in the coming year. All the old broken padlocks and lost locker keys, overshoes, books, and gym clothes, with regret we leave to our janitorial staff. We bequeath the front lawn to any stray cows walking up Hennepin Avenue. Unto Miller’s studio we leave several huge baskets of unused proofs from which film stars might take lessons in facial expression. But last of all. Oh Juniors, we have something more than trivial things to leave you. We leave you not only things of small temporal value, but also great things; things that go unnoticed from day to day but which in reality Page 103 are the prime factors in the mill that grinds out the splendid young men and women that yearly leave our Alma Mater. In the first place, we leave to you, Juniors, because you will be the next class to leave this school, dear old West High, with all its traditions, with all its honors and fair play, its victories and its defeats, its championship teams and its teams who know how to take defeat. We give you also the spirit of fair play that has helped us to bring honors and records to our school and prizes to our trophy case. We bequeath to you that name that we have endeavored to keep unsoiled; take up the work where we have left off. Upon you. Juniors, do we confer this honor. To you. we bequeath this task—the ambition of our school career—a bigger, better, and a greater West. We leave you our principal, and our faculty, the fairest, squarest, and the most patient group that ever guided a class of erring students through the pitfalls of those halls of learning. To you do we bequeath them; you will need them badly. Under their guidance we leave you our clubs, military company, the Weekly, and the Hesperian. In love we do hereby bequeath to you everything that goes to heighten the standards and the honor of West. On you we pin our faith. In everything in which we have failed we expect you to succeed. We expect you to take up new ventures and carry them to a victorious conclusion. We ask and we demand that you do this, oh Juniors; and to you do we give the Green and White—see that it remains unstained! Luethi A MILITARY HONOR MID all the successes West has achieved within the past years there is one of which she should be particularly proud. We may boast of the best drilled high school cadet in the Twin Cities. To this cadet, Carl Luethi. West owes the honor of receiving the highest possible recognition in the competitive drill held at St. Thomas. On the eighteenth of May this competition took place between picked men from all the companies of Minneapolis, Cretin High and St. Thomas. In all, eighteen men drilled for the honor and so close and strenuous an exhibition has not been seen for many a day in military circles. The drill lasted one-half hour, at the end of which Cadet Luethi was judged the best, thereby winning a gold medal. Luethi is first sergeant of West’s drill company and has been a cadet for two years. Page 104 Christen Cammon Robb THE CAVOUR LANGDON ESSAY PRIZE MERLIN CAMMON and Izetta W. Robb of the June class, and Marguerite Christen of the March class, are the winners of the Senior essay contest. This is the third year that Mr. C. S. Langdon has offered the prize but it is the first year that he has been willing to have his name mentioned as the donor of the prizes. Merlin Cammon, who entered under the nom de plume of Edward King, wrote on the subject of “Great Lakes to Sea. Izetta Robb, under the name of What,” wrote on the subject, “The Wide, Wide World,” while Marguerite Christen, with the nom de plume Cora Smith, also wrote on the “Great Lakes to the Sea.” A new system of judging was used in this contest. Each judge gave the entrant a number indicating the place that he believed the essay should have. The totals of all the judges were added, and the essays receiving the lowest numbers were awarded the first three places, respectively. Ten points being the lowest number received, gave its owner (Merlin Cammon), first place. Izetta Robb received twelve points, and Marguerite Christen sixteen. The number of places used ranged from eighteen to twenty. A percentage mark was also given and the totals added. These percentages ranged from 262 per cent, received by Merlin Cammon. to 206 per cent. Fifteen students participated in this contest. Eight subjects were written, which are as follows: “Great Lakes to the Sea,“ “Uncle Sam’s Daughter,” “A Home For the Japs.” “Main Street and Main Streeters, “The Wide, Wide World,” “Five to Ten, The Time Has Come,” and Eyes They Have and See Not. The prize is offered once a year to the graduating Seniors of either the December, March, or June classes. This reward has been helpful in stimulating the production of more original and less stereotyped essays. This prize has not only stimulated interest in writing but has been beneficial in interesting the student in affairs of the day. It is exactly the right kind of a prize in that it carries honor to those deserving honor and gives all an equal chance to participate. Page 105 A GLIMPSE OF THE WEST HIGH OF THE FUTURE WEST is wealthy in plans for future improvements. As the alumni have been responsible for furthering the welfare of the school in the past; so the possibilities of putting these plans into effect depend entirely on the co-operation of recent, present and future graduates of the school. Patrons and friends of West have a vision of a greater institution which, when completed, will cover the entire block. There are two general schemes being considered and when the dreams come true” one or the other will in all probability be used. One idea is diagrammed on the opposite page. In order to construct this field the property on Hennepin Avenue must be purchased and the buildings torn down. Then the whole field will be leveled, the dirt taken from the upper part being spread over the lower part. This will give the field the appearance of a bowl on the eastern end. As planned, the ticket office will be on Hennepin Avenue with a promenade of ten or fifteen feet on both sides of the wall. A flight of steps will lead down to the field. The wall at this end and the ticket office will be made of concrete, but, owing to the nature of the sub-soil, wood will be used in the remainder of the fence and the stands. The large stand near the railroad tracks will seat about five thousand, while the smaller stand on the other side will hold about three thousand. The field is so laid out so as to provide for all outdoor games. The running track will be a quarter of a mile long and twenty feet wide, while the gridiron and the diamond will be of regulation size. There will be plenty of room at either end of the gridiron for jumping and vaulting pits. Three tennis courts will no doubt boost tennis at West, since the team is now obliged to play at the Parade grounds. In the northwestern corner are located two buildings. One will contain the locker rooms, showers, and coaches’ offices, while the other is to be a tool house, where athletic equipment and tools to keep the field in shape will be kept. The other plan is to confine the athletic field to its present boundaries and construct a new building on the ground facing Hennepin Avenue. The field would be improved and a fence with stands put up. but there would not be room enough for a quarter-mile track. In architectural design, the new building would be similar to that of the present school. It would contain a gymnasium, swimming pool, auditorium, rooms suitable for small gatherings. University extension classes. The gym would be laige enough for contests with seats on two sides. Another prospective addition to the school is a memorial to the boys from West who lost their lives in the service of their country. Its location in the open space in the front of the building would increase greatly the architectural beauty of the grounds. Nothing definite has been decided as to what the memorial will be, but a fountain or some form of stone, tile or brick has been suggested. The names of the boys who died in the war will be inscribed on a tablet on the memorial. One more improvement is receiving consideration. The architecture of the new and old parts of the building does not coincide. Plans are in progress to change one or the other so as to give harmony to the whole structure. Not until these dreams become realties will the students of the West High of the future will have facilities that will be adequate for their needs. Page 107 fl ClinvpxPe Iivto i'Ho Priivl J Kop I H View of tke Pre r Poonv IN RECOGNITION OF OUR PRINT SHOP THIS year the West High Print Shop, under the direction of Mr. E. W. Lawrence, has completely taken care of the typography for the 1922 Hesperian. The feat is something never before accomplished or even undertaken by any Minneapolis high school, and the students should feel justly proud of their annual, which is strictly a local product. The Print Shop began its work for West in 1918, when a Lee, a two-revolution news press, costing about $1,200 and additional printing material which brought the cost to about $2,000, was contracted for by the West High Weekly. Classes in printing were conducted during the school year, and the equipment was used during the summer by the Board of Education for the printing of bulletins, pamphlets and miscellaneous matter. This was the small beginning of what is now a highly important department of West High School, and an important factor in the printing for the Board of Education. Although School Officials promised to furnish a two-horsepower motor the following fall, Mr. Asa Brooks, printing instructor at that time, was sending out an S. O. S., “All habitual kickers will be welcomed in 225 to learn the gentle art of press-feeding. The astonishing class enrollment had already reached the number of seven. Mr. Brooks had had a wide all-around experience in the printing trade, and was a partner in the Brooks-Dillman Company of this city. In 1919 Mr. E. W. Lawrence, who is still in charge of the Print Shop, became a member of the West High faculty. His most important change in conditions was to organize the department on the basis of downtown shops. Under this new management all branches of trade were considered, the shop working in co-operation with downtown. In 1920, since the department was continually growing in size, the Print Shop, under the direction of Mr. Lawrence, was entirely rearranged so as to accommodate twice as many pupils. The old-time Student Council office was added to the department, which was then handling 8 1 uppils in regular day classes, and 1 9 in the night classes. As the Print Shop grew more room was necessary, and Room 240, then occupied by Miss Eleanor Donaldson’s classes, was taken over. This last addition has made three rooms in all devoted to printing. The equipment for the shop has also been increased from time to time by purchases of the Board of Education, until now it consists of the following: A two-revolution Lee press for the publications, a newspaper folder, 10x15 Gordon press, 7x1 1 Pearl press, 32-inch Diamond power paper cutter, Boston stapler, proof press, and a large variety of display and body type. The department with this equipment now prints four high school newspapers, various grade school publications, and miscellaneous job work for the Board of Education. The shops runs the entire year, the summer being devoted to Board of Education printing. Classes in printing are held the entire day, including the eighth period, besides those held for grade school groups from the Douglas, Sheridan, Rosedale and Clara Barton schools twice a week and a special class for teachers on Monday from schools with small printing plants for project work. Next year it is planned to enlarge the plant to take care of the advanced students throughout the entire school system.

McKnight of the Theodore Peterson Post to Superintendent W. F. Webster clearly states the purpose of giving these awards: In the opinion of our post, nothing is of more importance than encouraging the development of high school girls and boys along the proper lines. We would not confine such development solely to scholarship or athletics or any one phase which enters into the education of American youth. All-around leaders should be developed, and with this end in view our post wishes to offer an appropriate medal to the girl and boy who, in their senior year in the Minneapolis high schools have demonstrated conspicuously their value to their school. The necessary qualifications for the best all-around girl and boy are as follows: First, that their scholarship is above the average of the class; second, that by their examples and activities, both in and out of school, they have shown that they are worthy of recognition; third, that they are generally useful; and fourth, that they are popular in the true sense of the word. As the first step in picking the best all-around girl and boy, Mr McWhorter presented to the senior class a list of all the students who were eligible for winning the award because of scholarship above the average of the class. From this eligibility list the members of the class were allowed to vote for the ten per cent of the boys and of the girls whom they considered most deserving of the award. The final selection of the best all-around girl and boy in the June senior class was made by a picked number of teachers and Mr. McWhorter. The Theodore Peterson Post of the American Legion is presenting an award to the boy and girl in each of the Minneapolis high schools showing the best all-around leadership. The post hopes to make the donation of the medal an annual event. The idea of presenting such an award is not a new idea. For many years certain colleges and schools, especially in the eastern part of the United States, have presented awards of merit to boys and girls who deserved them. The object of such a prize is always to encourage leadership in all activities. The offer of awards in the Minneapolis schools was received with approval by Superintendent W. F. Webster, who said: Consideration of the prize to be offered by the Theodore Peterson Post brought unanimous approval by the Board of Education. 1 am sure that once established it will encourage young men and young women to be more helpful, and to act in greater co-operation, and to serve the community better than they have in the past.

We have taken in more money from athletics this year than ever before in the history of the school. However, our wants grow with our receipts. We want to have as much money as possible to put into the improvement of our athletic field, and as we get on a firmer financial basis, we shall be able to furnish more and better equipment to the various teams. The number of boys who come out in the various sports is constantly increasing. It will be our aim to meet all these demands for the coming year, and with the success of the present year repeated, we should be well able to do it. T. P. Gruwell. Page 113 Hopkins. Rukk.

G« rKt Matchan Ex-Captain Jeortfc Langford Capt.in-Eloct HIGH SCHOOL football in Minneapolis, is on a high plane. West is doing her share to keep it there. School spirit and co-operation. good sportsmanship, a faith in football, what it can and does do for the school and the participants, are the greatest contributing factors to the success of football and the team. What we put into football, we may expect to get a part of in return. For the past two years we have had a winning team, and the spirit and sportsmanship have been such as to evoke commendation on the part of parents, faculty, and spectators. The co-operation has been splendid at all times, the faith in the team and the squad has never weakened, on the football field or in the class room. Football at West seems to be on a firm foundation. Every teacher, every student, every fellow who has won a uniform. or helped in putting football over, has helped to build that foundation. With such a foundation, any coach can build a structure worthy of West. The team, ably led by Captain Matchan, finished second in the championship race after losing a close, hard fought game to the veteran East team before the largest crowd ever assembled at Nicollet Park to witness a high school game. Starting the season with five veterans and the largest squad in the history of the school, championship prospects appeared very good. An informal practice game with Dunwoody furnished sufficient opportunity to size up the strength of the team, several touchdowns indicating great offensive strength. Opening the season against Central, West’s greatest rival, was not advantageous. In past years the West-Central game has always been placed last on the schedule because of the intense rivalry and hard play. West won over Central 1 3-7, but both teams suffered as a result of the strenuous play. Two weeks later. West completely outplayed North, winning 49-0. At this time the first evidence of overconfidence appeared and a slump which is inevitable, after bringing a team to form so early in the season, enveloped the squad. East and West battled for the championship and East won, 7-0. There was no alibi. West fought and lost with honor, but the punch apparent in previous games was not there. Eight thousand spectators witnessed a football game and went home, some happy, others disappointed, but it was a game. Losing the services of six regulars would shatter the morale of most any team. Losing such a critical game served to test the spirit of West. With unshaken spirit, and with Matchan, Frost, Rugg, Jordan, Gray, and Yelland on the side lines, disabled with injuries from the East game. West came back and defeated South, 14-7. In summarizing the achievements of the five high schools, West scored the highest number of points for a single game, the highest total of points for the season, and turned out the greatest percentage of its student body to the games. Henry E. Batchelder, Coach. Paft 115 TRACK 1921 T HE track season of 1921 was but a repetition of the performances of previous years and the team, under the peerless leadership of Thomas Rugg, amassed enough points in all their competitions to class them again as the leaders of High School Trackdom in the State. The previous season had left a few experienced men to form a nucleus about which was to crystallize a scoring machine that could hope to maintain supremacy in this branch of sport for another year. This group of veterans consisted of Captain Rugg. McMillan, Wunderlich, Frost, Anderson, and Wood—all seasoned men —who had yet to reach their highest development and efficiency. Out of some sixty candidates a few new men were selected to complete the team. The indoor season started early in March with an easy victory over East followed by a walk-away over Central, who had come out victorious in a triangular meet with North and South the previous week. On April 1 st the team entered in a championship contest, sponsored by the St. Paul Athletic Club. Because of its unusually large size, the St. Paul Auditorium was chosen for this track meet where it was hoped a large number of athletes and spectators could be accommodated. The West team, being well primed for action, claimed premier honors, winning easily from a large field. Trophies and medals were awarded, the West boys bringing home most of them. This contest, then, marked for West the Twin City Indoor Track championship. With the advent of favorable weather, the squad worked faithfully in preparation for the outdoor season. Following the plan of the indoor schedule, faculty managers agreed upon one triangular and two dual outdoor meets. West defeated East in a dual meet, and the following week disposed of Central, the winner in a three-cornered meet the previous week. The U. of M. invited the Twin City Schools to the annual Interscholastic Track Meet held May twenty-first on Northrup field. The West team, in prime condition, encountered little opposition and won by a large score. Thomas Rugg Page 117 Thom ah Rucc displayed unusual form that day. shattering two records, pole vault—1 1 ft. 11 in.; high jump—5 ft. 10 in. At the invitation of Carleton College, the West track squad, twenty-one strong, traveled to Northfield May 27th, to take part in the annual Classic” on Laird Field. The meet, conducted in perfect order by the Carleton management, resulted in the usual victory for West. Rugg again attracted much attention by his exceptional work in the field events, bettering his high jump record made in the City meet by three-eighths of an inch. There now remained but one meet—the all-city affair which was to be held on Northrup field during the early part of June. But before the final go arrived, our formidable rival. Shattuck Military School, was heard from, and a meet was hastily arranged. It seemed that the hour of reckoning to avenge defeats of former years had finally presented itself as the West team felt strong enough to subdue the strongest opponent. History, however, was bound to repeat itself and West emerged on the short end of the score, 54-60. A defeat at the hands of a more mature team, a team possessing the best facilities for development and training, was not excessively depressing, particularly when the discrepancy in the score was so small. The City Meet which followed the Shattuck defeat, concluded the season’s work and awarded West her fourth consecutive State High School Championship. One cannot speak too highly of the character and spirit of the team that so nobly represented West through this long season, even when the support of the student body was lacking. The material awards for their athletic prowess on the field were far below the measure of energy, perseverance, and self denial, expended in attaining them. These lads, from the humblest to the most efficient, had developed not only a wonderful skill and control over their physical makeup, but had acquired a high sense of duty from which only the best type of citizenship is born.

Rugg Matchan Mitchell Wiggins Thomas Wunderlich Weber Frost REVIEW OF TRACK SEASON OF 1921 THE Track Team of 1921 has achieved a great deal of success and brought many honors to West High School. It was successful because of the hard and faithful work of members of the team. The Green and White team won the City, Twin City, and State Championships. In only one of its many meets during the indoor and out-door seasons did the team lose; this being to the Shattuck Preparatory School, by only seven points. It was proved that a well balanced team practically always wins, as the team placed at least one man in every event in every meet during the season. In behalf of the team I wish to express our sincere gratitude to our coach. Mr. Louis Zadovsky, for his patient efforts to perfect a winning team. Tommy Rugg. Captain.

Jacobsen Morris Humphrey BASKETBALL. 1922 BV AND large, the Basket Ball season recently concluded, was not only unusual; but most peculiarly unusual. From the standpoint of aggregate marginal points, the season was a rather disastrous one; but one who has made an inquiring survey of the season could have discovered only that most of the games were decided by the so designated breaks so often widely conspicuous in athletic contests. With a few possible exceptions, games that have turned one way or another during the last few swiftly passing minutes—even seconds—of play are games in which the element of luck—or whatever that indescribable, but not intangible influence may be called—has played no small part. Meili, Morris, and Anderson formed an excellent passing combination whose only weakness lay in effectivity at the nets. Of this combination Anderson was by far the most consistently reliable performer. Meili and Morris both played well over the floor; but were equally inaccurate in their shooting at critical times. Bed Ludlow developed into a most dependable stationary defense man; Hav Jones was not only a strong defensive man. but was also an important cog in the offensive play; Bob Jacobsen scrapped very effectively through several games at guard; and Ray Humphrey carried his elusive gridiron tactics to the basketball floor. In conclusion, 1 wish to express appreciation of the splendid support of the student body through a rather discouraging repetition of unpleasant terminations. Hamilton Cummins. Coach.

Each school was represented by a well-balanced team with the result that most of the games were close, with low scores. East won the championship, going through the season without a defeat, followed by Central, who lost but three games. West and South tied for third position, leaving North at the bottom of the list. Owing to the resignation of Mr. Steffey, who had been selected to coach the team, baseball practice at West was started rather late; but after a week’s practice under the direction of Captain Remington. Mr. Batchelder took charge of the squad. Although West lost five of the first six games played, each game showed a decided improvement not only in team play but in team spirit as well. It was this fine fighting spirit that brought victory to West in the last two games. L. W. Chamberlain, Coach. Page 122 ZL - z. i P-2.-2 I'°J KVrv | ommy Vlu ££ ' o On nccondS t l«« .

Remington Yelland Bassett THE 1922 hockey season may be characterized as a success in every way. Playing South, Central, and East, in a double round schedule the West pucksters won six straight games, scoring a total of 33 goals to their opponents' 6. and giving West the undisputed city championship. The St. Paul Central-ites, however, stopped the West team in its bid for the Twin City championship. St. Paul winning 4 to I. But more important and more satisfying than games won or lost was the spirit shone by the West team throughout the season. Captain Wally Remington and his teammates proved themselves to be men as well as good hockey players. Regularity at practice, willingness to cooperate with captain and coach, team play rather than individual work, and clean playing throughout the season characterized the West squad. These things indeed would give West High School reason to be proud of their hockey team even if they had not won a game. But on the contrary, it was these very qualities that made them a championship team. William W. Bradley, Coach. Page 124 Gitlin iManager). Scarborough. Warrington.

The prospects for a winning team were not very encouraging. The material was very immature and inexperienced, lacking many essentials of a successful organization. Nevertheless the boys were more than willing to train faithfully, and work consistently; and because of these qualities, they achieved the desired results. They defeated South, the last year’s champions, in the first lace; and easily disposed of the other teams in due order, winning the city cross-country championship. What more can anyone ask? The school owes these boys a debt of gratitude for their spirit of loyalty and perserverance which was chiefly responsible for their brilliant success. Louis Zavodsky. Coach. Page 125 Stewart Winter Green Daniels Harris Jacobsen Kane Keksi Carter (Capt.) Roberts Goldfish REVIEW OF THE 1922 SWIMMING SEASON P HE 1922 swimming season was not as successful as previous seasons. ■ This was due chiefly to the loss of several of the best swimmers in school. Seymour, Prins, O’Herrin, Witt, Geis, and Boos, were all lost to the team for various reasons. With these men on the team, the results of the meets might have been different. Swimming is one of the best and most healthful of winter sports. Interest in this sport has greatly increased during the past few years. This might be shown when one notes the increase in the number of meets. This year we had a meet with East, two with Central, two with St. Paul Central, and one with Mechanic Arts. The letter men were Winter, Keksi. L. Jacobsen. Daniels, Stewart, Roberts, and Carter. Witt and Geis won letters but were lost during the last of the season through graduation. Owing to the large number of men graduating, it will be necessary to make up the team mostly from new men. It is thereforefore essential that all freshmen and sophomores interested in this sport try out for the team so that West may annex another title. Page 126 Miles Carter, Captain.

The reason for this was that all the schools were represented, and had a regular schedule to follow. The West team finished in second place, having tied North for the championship at the end of the schedule, but losing to the Northerners in the play-off by a score of 3 to 2. The stellar playing of Murphy was one of the main factors in keeping the West team in the lead. He won all of his singles matches, and was one of the mainstays of the doubles team. Next season with such men as Murphy, Goettman, and Davidson back. West should have a championship combination. Page 128 I awrence Baker, Captain. SECOND FOOTBALL SQUAD Brackett. Anderson. Younsr.

Bate holder Kahn Breen Herman Tenney Cryaler Haven Moore Cushing Shannon GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION THE Girls’ Athletic Association is the only club in school which includes girls of all classes and of all scholastic standings. The purpose of this organization is to promote interest in the gymnasium and in out-of-door sports, as a means of recreation and of securing the physical development and comradeship of its members. The first of June, 1921, the officers for the year 1921-22 were chosen by the girls of the school in an auditorium session. Carol Shannon was elected president; Margaret Murray, vice-president; Jean Moore, secretary; and Miss Genevieve Breen, treasurer. An outdoor chairman, Florence Tenney, and an indoor director, Ethel Teagle, were also balloted in at this time. A girls’ auditorium was held at the beginning of this school year as a start for the membership campaign of the association. Miss Ermina Tucker, director of Girls' Athletics in the Minneapolis schools, spoke highly of the achievements of the West girls in athletics. This year’s campaign was very successful, for 1,200 girls joined the organization. In proportion as the school grows, the membership of the G. A. A. increases. The success of this organization depends upon the girls of the school, and if they co-operate as well in the future as they have in the past, the Girls’ Athletic Association will keep its reputation of being one of the liveliest organizations in the school.

Meetings have been held every other Tuesday during the school year. Every other meeting was held at the home of one of the members. By having the home meetings, the girls were able to have speakers talk on subjects of interest to them. The first activity the club engaged in was a tea given for the mothers of the W’’ winners, and those of the girls playing volley ball. At this tea a Mothers' Auxiliary was formed. In the future, with the aid of the mothers, the club hopes to push girls’ athletics to the front at West. “ Page 141 Florence Tenney. President.

Bestor Wedge HIKING IV 1 AY, aren’t you terribly tired after that eight-mile hike this afternoon? 1 ■ I should say not. You see we start in slow and easy by taking a three- and five-mile preliminary around Lake of the Isles and Calhoun. By that time, we’re in trim for six-mile hikes, and after four of them, we take one-eight mile, and say, they’re fun! You don’t know what you’re missing by not going out for hiking!” Almost every one of the hundred girls that went hiking either last fall or this spring will say the same thing to you. And hiking is one of the best things in the world to make a healthy girl. Just before the cold weather starts in, in the fall, and just after the heavy thaws in the spring, it was not an uncommon sight to see a regular parade of hikers start out for a walk on the roads near the school. Excelsior Boulevard, the St. Louis Park Road, and Cedar Lake Road were three of the most popular highways. Each year hiking becomes more popular as a means of securing a numeral or for obtaining the required six afternoons of gymnasium credit. According to the increasing number of freshmen out for hiking each season, the whole West faculty will soon be required as chaperones. Marjory Keyes. Page 142 VOLLEYBALL Goodman Cushing Feidt Thomson Sanborn Powers Clark Sorenson Haven HerrinKton VOLLEY BALL THE Volley Ball Tournament of 1921 took place the latter part of December. There was much rivalry among the classes because the teams were so evenly matched. At every game, there was an enthusiastic crowd of supporters who cheered their team along. The class captains were: Seniors, Carol Shannon; juniors, Zetta Goldberg; sophomores, Kathryn Haven; freshmen, Norma Birdsell. After the first round, it was very evident that the sophomores would get the championship, but the next question was who would get second place? The junior team was a strong contestant for first place and gave the sophomores a bad scare in the last game of the season. However, the sophs emerged victorious by a score of 15-11, putting the juniors in second place. The seniors and freshmen were tied for third place, each having won one game. Sportsmanship was the keynote of every game. Kathryn Haven. Page 143 §1® SWIMMING . ■■ rn, Rundcll Bclnir Moore Bi Herman Herman Neemes Danforth DURING the past year the Y. W. C. A. pool has been the scene of many water contests held by enthusiastic Western mermaids wishing to win a numeral in that much admired sport, swimming. In the spring of 1921, a few West High Aquatic champions held a swimming meet for extra points. Among those who took active part were Marjory Keyes, Margaret Murray, Eldora Rickey, Arline Witt, and Marian Libby. On November 29 at the popular Indoor Ocean Beach a number of water nymphs heeded the call to work for numerals. With Miss Cushing substituting for Father Neptune, Eleanor Belair, Ruth Bitterman, Margaret Laird, Beatrice Marsh, Mary Neemes, and Jean Moore finally accomplished all the stunts and won their numerals. A week later a group of swimming gymnasts wishing to give the “Y pool a treat went out for higher swimming honors. Eleanor Belair proved to be the star of the day by winning 90 points. Mary Neemes won 60 points, Dorothy Herman won 40 points, and Ruth Bitterman won 10 points. Page 144 Scott N'easc Morrison Hopper Svensrud Moore McDonnell SKATING is one of our least known sports. Although we take advantage of the lake which is only a block away, few of the girls seem to know what the various forms of skating are. They indulge in mere pleasure or speed skating without trying the more difficult stunts of Dutch Roll, Figure 8’s, and Grapevines. At the annual tryouts, sixteen girls appeared at the Hockey Rink. Leslie Hopper starred easily. With her graceful turns and swings, she won admiration. Mildred McDonnell, Florence Nease. Marion Svensrud, and Elizabeth Scott also won their numerals. We hope that next year more girls will win numerals in this popular winter sport.

TRACK. 1921 AFTER looking over this Hesperian, dear readers, you have no doubt come to the conclusion that athletics are for boys, since more pages are devoted to boys’ athletics than to girls’. You would surely have thought differently, however, if you had been in the girls’ gymnasium on March 15, 1921, at our annual track meet. The way the girls jumped, ran, and put the shot, made everyone present see that girls deserve a big place in sport pages, too. It is very much worth while to enter a track meet, for if you come two-thirds of the time before the meet, enter the meet, and participate in four events, you receive eighty-five points. In addition, fifteen points are offered for a first place, ten for a second, and five for a third. If you get a hundred points, you will receive a numeral which, in 1921, about a dozen girls were able to win. Our Tommy Rugg was Ethel Teagle. for she carried off four first places; in fact, she took first place in everything she entered; the fifty-yard dash, the high jump, the broad jump, and the rope climb. Lucy Meeds came close upon Ethel and took one first place and one second, tying for another second. Who wouldn’t go to a meet to watch Hazel Durheim put the shot, or to see the long legs of Lucille Jeffrey do the high jump? Who wouldn’t want to shout Ethel Teagle on to victory in the fifty-yard dash, or watch Lucy Meeds hop, step, and jump? Nor are West’s boys the only ones who can carry off honors, for although there was no inter-scholastic track meet, the records of the high schools of the city were compared and our girls won first place in every event they entered except the high jump, in which they tied with Central. So each year the interest in track grows; each year there are more out for this important branch of athletics; and each year more records are broken. In 1919 there were but nine who succeeded in getting on the team; in 1920, seventeen, and in 1921 there were twenty-five, and the meets keep getting better all the time. If this keeps up, where shall we be in 1940? Dorothy Wilson. Page 147 Shipman Tenney Shannon Kcye Andren Crysler Durhclm Goldberg Gilbert THE baseball season of 1921 started off with a rush. Large practice squads ■ were out, and teams were the results. The juniors were true to their class, and captured the bunting after a stiff race.

Page 146 REVIEW OF 1921 TENNIS SEASON A REALIZATION of the hopes of all those interested in girls’ athletics was in sight the Spring of 1921 when representatives of the girls’ teams from our five city high schools met at the Parade Grounds, May twenty-sixth. Ever since the Girls’ Athletic Association has been organized, the cry for inter-school athletics has been increasing. Although the girls have had all the thrill and competition of inter-class athletics, something seemed to be lacking. At last, through the repeated efforts of the Supervisor of Girls’ Athletics, and the kind permission of the principals, consent for an inter-school tournament in tennis was given. To select suitable representatives was our next problem. A school elimination tournament was conducted first. The girls were very enthusiastic and entered with the hope that they would be the ones to represent West. About twenty-five girls entered and the finals revealed Margaret Murray and Arlene Witt as real tennis stars, winning the right to represent our school in the inter-school Murr y Tenney tournament. The third member of our team was Florence Tenney. On the appointed day, these girls with a similarly chosen team from East, North. South, and Central, met at the Parade Ground Courts. Each girl wore her school colors and, needless to say, the West enthusiasts were thrilled to see the green and white ribbons flying from the arms of their chosen girls. The opponents for the first round. Central, South, and North, were successively defeated by Florence Tenney, Arlene Witt, and Margaret Murray. The second round was less successful. Arlene lost to North, 6-1, 6-1 and Margaret to Central, 6-3, 6-2. Florence, remaining our sole representative, was ahead to the very end. defeating successively East, North, and Central, thus winning the cup for West for one year. It was a proud momentl It proved not only that West Wins, but that inter-school athletics for girls are possible. There was a spirit of good fellowship and true sportsmanship among the girls that inspired everyone. It was a proof that girls’ inter-school athletics are not only possible, but draw us nearer to perfect girlhood. May this only be a beginning. Marguerite Kahn. Page 149 A CUP WINNERS FLO TENNEY JUNE CRYSLEK She wields a wicked racquet. Much against the bashful, blushing, bob-haired girl’s will, her picture was taken. Besides starring in baseball, skating, and volleyball, Flo won the first inter-scholastic tennis meet for West, bringing home the bacon in the form of a large silver cup. She’s a leader in the field of sports. Margaret was the first girl in West to win her letter and cup by her B Sophomore year. She has starred in every branch of sport, even representing her school in the inter-scholastic tennis tournament. Although she has won the highest honors, she still takes an active part in girls' athletics. MARGARET MURRAY Here’s our manager supreme. In June, you see a cup winner who has made her class volleyball team each year, who has been on the championship baseball team for three years, and who has managed hiking for several years. She also manages to get through in all her subjects. A combination hard to beat I Marge Keyes believes in an early start. She began slow and easy in her freshman year, and by the time she was a senior, she could shine in every sport, including volleyball, hiking, track, and baseball. Moral: The early bird catches the cup. MARJORY KEYES Page 150 Hip® pI WCLUB 111 KATE HAVEN Pep's her middle name.

She is a splendid athlete, huving starred three years in volleyball, the same time in baseball, and causing no end of trouble for her opponents. Hazel is our strong woman.

We’ll say she does. She earned 60 points in that sport, more than any other girl has ever done, and only about 10 have had the nerve to even try it. But Dorothy went in for the teams, too. She took part in the track meets in 1920 and 1921, winning points both times. She also played volleyball and hiked. KATHRYN RUNDELL ZKTTA GOLDBERG Page 152 DOROTHY WILSON � .

T The three judges were ‘‘Wally” Remington, Tom Rugg, and James Gill. After due deliberation and concentration on the subject of beauty, they decided on the results. A great deal of money was expended on this contest, as some of the contestants mortgaged their allowances for the next six years. Since Perc Cooper, Mary Joeckel, and Marj” Sweet were the highest bidders, the judges decided in their favor. Doris Deutsche was considered a desirable candidate because James Gill was thrilled by her smiles, but it was decidedly unfair to let anyone win but those who had been so kind as to fill the judges’ pockets with legal tender. So here’s to Mary, Marj, and Perc, Their beauty do behold. Now don’t cry out, your vengeance shout. It’s they, not you, that’s sold.

Now. you are ready to read this poem through with proper appreciation. That’s it. Now you have the general swing. Editor's Note: Such a dainty bit of verse attracts our attention. We find that the influence of Bacon is distinctly felt in the first verse, and with Browning in the second, it reaches a high degree of nonsense and sincerity. The Darwinian theory is clearly presented fourth, that the fittest shall survive. The last stanza is a reaction to the first as it regains its dignity.

I’m so afraid I'll get conceited; it’s so bad for boys of my tender years. C. L. Dear -------: Don't you think Mac’s handsome, and isn’t his vocabulary splendid? Mac knows he has a magnificent voice! He certainly uses it. Now, I just heard this, it may not be so. but I heard that Mac was the best bluffer at the State U. when he went to college. Now. I hardly think that’s true, but he certainly had the makings of a good one. O. K. Dear Yes, Mac” is good looking, but if you knew Stan McKay as well as I do you’d know Mac” would have to guard his position. Stan is planning an insurrection, and you know with all those guns, bayonets, and dumbbells. Mac Whorter won’t stand much chance. Oh, well, we’ll hope for the best. Dearest, The moon is waning. And I am longing, I’d write more, dear, But teacher’s coming. Hopeful. Dear T. N. T. They say Perce Cooper is the most popular girl at West, I always did say that Perc” had brains. . O. U. Hello. Did you hear the news? Mary Staples is managing editor of the Weekly. She’s using high-handed methods; she’s had steel tips put on the end of her shoes, so they’ll feel it when she kicks. A. M. Dear -------: Doc Matchan said that he cried all night after he had received his diploma, but it’s hard to believe. He said he knew how poor the school would be without him. and he always hated to leave anyone in the lurch. F. O. D. Dear -------: I’m just shivering because this morning I've got to make a speech in auditorium when I get my W. I don't know what I'll say. Jiminy fish hooks, I wish I could get out of it. IV. R. Dear -------: Jack De Groot was dozing in Commercial Law this morning so Marjorie Sweet poked him. and placed a piece of paper in front of him. This was the message: Wake up! ‘Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise.' ’’ Jack was so dense and half asleep that he said, Aunt Jane or Aunt Mary? C. O. D. Dearest. Oranges are sweet, The sky is blue, I’ve gone crazy. And so have you. Page 160 T. D. tmvtvs . Fine MR. MTCHCkOER, JVST Keep TH T cxncssio m A DO Page 162 .

We are sorry that we can't tell the exact age and date of each of these pictures. Mr. E. Dudley Parsons and Mr. Chas. R. Richardson feel quite flattered to be grouped with the fair members of the faculty. Miss Wanda Orton is taken giving her first speech, or reciting Horatius at the Bridge. We forget whether it was her mother or Mr. L. N. McWhorter who said Wanda always was a great hand for speaking. Miss Ruth Wilson is Charles Morris’ favorite teacher which makes her famous, even as famous as Mr. Parsons who crossed the English Channel in an airplane. Mr. Richardson is a good boss of the Seniors and Tommy Rugg. while Miss Frances Hicks slings a good line of Espanol. Everyone is just too cute for words so we won't say anymore. The group will be of sentimental value to all. We really are fond of them, but we hardly show it. The group was taken several years ago. We always remember the teachers who give us A’s. REVERIE With Grovelling Apologia to Mr, Milton Hence Spirit of School! Get thee out of here, you pest. Brain child of some meddling schoolboard who will never let us rest. Go to Africa or Greece, and leave us now in peace. Come Spirit of Pep and bring with you Dance that floats on the Magic Wings of Yoo-Hoo. 1 shall first bid good morning to the sun as it rises o’er our ash heap. Then go back to bed and 'till noon I will sleep. It is 12 o’clock; I must hurry now Down to the Nankin to park some Chow. Sweeter far than Lydian strain Is the sound that is made while eating Chow Mein. Oh, if ’twere summer not a minute should I waste, On the country—for barnyards and flopping chickens were never to my taste. But for one who loveth nature and holds all beasts most dear Why go to the country when South St. Paul’s so near. For myself I should go to a bathing beach, if there be one close at hand Do some fancy diving or lie basking in the sand. At night when darkness comes I could do with a show If there be a good bill to the Orpheum I would go (And since this is imagination) I’ll take a seat in the very front row. To me the scene at the Box Office has a significance divine. The ticket seller, like old Peter, divides the flock into $1.20 and $0.59. Fain would I eat again after the show And then to a dance that is not too slow. After the dance, home 1 shall creep, Don my robe de nuit and'address myself to sleep. Pat 165 Vivian Grant.

HOTEL RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF GUESTS The motto of this hotel is: Do others or they will do you. There are three departments—upstairs, downstairs, and out of doors. Out doors is the cheapest. If the bell in your room is broken, wring the towel. No alarm clock furnished by the management. Before retiring wind up the mattress and hear the bed tick. To prevent guests from carrying fruit from the table, we will have no fruit. Guests are not expected to pay their bills unless they prefer to do so. We have seen all trees leave its trunk for board. To avoid any accidents, guests are requested to retire before the night falls.

Far and wide he was known as “Old Hickory.” Now hickory was the pioneer’s best friend in those early days. Nothing could equal its strength, its endurance; no flaws, no imperfec-fections to cause disaster at critical moments. Hickory is an honest wood, sound to the core; and at night when the cold winds whistled ’round the cabin it was hickory that gave forth its warmth and cheerfulness from the great fireplace. And it needed hickory smoke to give the finishing touch to the famous hams and sides of bacon of those days (ask your grandfather about this and you’ll smack your lips over the story). So “Old Hickory” was just the name for Andrew Jackson—it became him well indeed. And now when you buy coal remember that Pittsburgh’s Pittston, the guaranteed hard coal, is the “Old Hickory” of the coals. No need to say more, except that it costs no more than the ordinary kind and is delivered anywhere, any time, blizzard, rain or shine. Pittsburgh Coal Company, City Sales Office, Lumber Exchange.
