NEWHOUSE and ROGER A. GURLEY ?? 1923 HESPERIAN VOLUME XV DEDICATED CHARLES W. BOARDMAN WHO HAS GIVEN TO THE STUDENTS OF WEST THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP. HESPERIAN THE EXPRESSION OF THAT INTANGIBLE SPIRIT WHICH HAS PREVAILED IN THE CLASS ROOM AS WELL AS ON THE ATHLETIC FIELD THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR, THE SPIRIT OF THE SCHOOL, “WEST WINS”. Members of the Senior Class To understand American ideals and American institutions; to realize that we arc members of a social order and that as a result of this membership we have duties and obligations which, as responsible citizens, we must discharge; to seek after truth; to lx? tolerant of one another’s ideas and beliefs; to think for ourselves, not accepting ready-made opinions; to seek after high achievement, not content with mediocrity; to aspire to high ideals; to know that true happiness comes from service and to seek to serve with unselfish devotion; to desire character more than wealth and happiness more than fame—these are some of the ideals which West High School has endeavored to cultivate in you. The problems of the world today demand the clearest thinking and the highest intelligence. The need today and tomorrow is for leaders—men and women who have the ability to labor ami to inspire in others devotion to causes. The present generation looks to you for the leadership of the future. As you leave West High School may it lx with the resolve that you will continue to prepare to take the places of the leaders of the present day. I congratulate you upon the splendid achievements which you have already accomplished. We are proud to have you take your places among the loyal alumni of West High School, knowing that you will measure up to our hopes, our aspirations and our expectations. t 8 THE GREEN AND WHITE Ok colors gaily showing In vict’ry or defeat: The Green and White is blowing A thousand strong to greet. A thousand greet the banner With cheers of dauntless zest. Iff hold its priceless honor. And hail the flag of West. The green that ttotes so cheer'ly By Minnesota rills, The white that mantles yearly Our Minnesota hills. Have joined in league forever To stir in every breast Pure zeal and true endeavor. When waves the flag of West. Let us hail dear old West High In truth and loyaltyI We shall march in one procession When the Green and White we see. We shall proclaim thy victories Wherever see may beI Hats off to West High! Oh. dear old West High! We are always proud of thee CANT ABILE The thousand feet that pace this quiet tea Ik are note in school. The birds sing out a jargon melody to thrill some fool Who tries his best to “parlez-vous a bit Inside the brick abode. The goad of knowledge trips that lagging wit Along the narrow road. ANDANTE The painted craft that bloom so flower-like are still. The trees arc waiting, too, for that rare afternoon to thrill Some gentle landsman who would si! her near The turf upon the shore. Despite the jeering of her buccaneer So brave in deep-sea lore! ORIENT ALE The white moon rises high, diffuses perfumed light. The silver willows sigh and suay in mournful ecstasy For those who write a honeyed theme on Fudge To please an educator. Or read with sightless eyes— Barno by Radge And wish they did not hate her. LARGO The jales spin out the glowing thread of life in cheerless weaves. The writhing trees, in wild macabre humor, shed their leaves. U'e toil on minimum requirements. In deep and dark despair. Because the world is mad and lacks good sense— To fail, we do not dare! SCHERZO The little birds make melody again at heavens gates. The scudding clouds rebuke our former rage against the fates, We never shirk a lesson any more. Nor kick, nor scold, nor knock. Because tee would not stay within the door— Alas! 'til four o'clock!

We see not so many brilliant deeds, but rather, numerous small ones, which build a bigger and better West. When the jazz assembly periods and peppy games arc a thing of the past, we shall probably “drop in” once in a while to look on, if only for an old thrill, or to take some little Freshie’s seat away. Because our class was slow in organizing, we had to crowd all our business and pleasure into a few short weeks. The co-operative spirit and loyalty of our small class helped us present successfully, “Come Out Of The Kitchen.” W'e wish to extend our gratitude to the administration and faculty of West for the training they have given to help us become better citizens.

We started at the first of the year to make our last term at West a worth while one. hut we were disappointed, for the School Board dissolved the March Class liefore we had become fairly well acquainted. However, I do not think anyone regrets having Im cii a member of it. Although our class will he forgotten, we shall never forget the four years we spent at West together. In closing, on behalf of the class members, I wish to say goodbye to the faculty at West who, with untiring interest, have helped to make us lietter young men and women to do our part in the world.

We, the members of the Class of June, 1923. feel especially blue as the time of our graduation from “dear old West” draws near. The four years that we have spent here have been busy, happy ones, full of the hard work that makes success. We may justly feel that our class has lieen concerned in the victories of West in the last few years. In athletics, our teams have won the majority of the contests and many championships, but the measure of success is not always victory. West teams have sometimes sacrificed that in order to be clean ami true at all times. That is real manhood. Members of our class have been leaders in various activities which make up one of the finest parts of our school life. In scholarship, the primary object of school, the class as a whole has ranked high. The class is especially proud of the members of the Honor Roll. Although the class was a large one, and coordination was difficult, we feel that as an organization we were successful. I oyalty to the school has characterized every act. We are grateful now. and deeper will that gratitude grow, to our teachers who have so unselfishly labored to bring forth the best that is in us. We thank them for your untiring efforts and trust that we may live up to those high ideals which they have instilled in us. Our last wish is for the success of West in the coming years. Kobkkt Jacobskn. President. 29 MARY CAN HEN TEH W ll.l.l A l MUM The June Senior class met on November 22, 1923, to organize ami elect officers. Robert Jacobsen was elected president; Marjorie MacGregor, vice-president; Ruth Keenan, secretary; and George Langford, treasurer. The two members elected to the executive hoard were Mary Carpenter and William Meili. Although the social functions of the class were limited, because of rules made by the Board of Education, we did have a banquet, class day, and class play: and the B Seniors gave a very successful party for us. The class of June, 1923, was the first class to give a parents' reception, and it hopes that the future Senior classes will carry out this custom. Perhaps our most successful undertaking was the class play, ‘The Admirable Crichton ’ We gave this play two nights at the Central High School auditorium, and used the proceeds to buy a memorial which will help to beautify the halls of west.

One of the aims of the committee is to bring about such a distribution of the activities as will make possible a greater participation of activities on the part of the student body. Because of its youth as a leading faction in the school activities of West, it will need the support of the student body ami the faculty members. The committee will serve as a mouthpiece for student and faculty opinion on school improvements, and will endeavor to push forward these improvements to its l est ability. The representatives of the various classes will do their best to make this committee a success and we feel sure it will become one of the leading organizations of the school. George Langford.

BKSTON. DAUNT. Perhaps some one new to West High School, on seeing one of our posters on the bulletin board, would ask. “What is the U. C. Club?” The answer would be. “It is the most active and effective organization for girls in the school.” Every Junior and Senior girl is wanted in the Club, and that there are a great many of them in it this year is shown by the membership list which totals more than two hundred. One of the activities of which we boast, is the Big Sister movement. When freshmen girls come to West, the U. C. Club tries to help them and make them feel at home by appointing a U. C. girl to each one of them to act as a big sister throughout the year. This year we started ofT with a very successful party for both big and little sisters. This, however, is not the only thing we have done. If some of our alumnae should come back, they perhaps wouldn’t recognize the girls’ rest room, for this year the U. C. Club installed a new rug, a mirror, running water, and an electric light. Another place that has felt the U. C. Club's help is the front hall. We contributed to the fund for making it more attractive by raising money in various ways. We gave several well-supported candy sales, a sunlight, and a “birthday party.’ All through the year the regular meetings with good speakers and the holiday parties with lively programs and dancing have kept the members interested. Altogether, we feel that we have had a very successful year and hope the work of the club next year will he carried on even more successfully. Mary Carpenter, President. 63 BACK ROW—WHICH MATTERN MR.

Beck Although the Ace’s Club is still in its infancy as a club, no one can estimate its far-reaching influences. It was founded in May, 1920, by a far-sighted group who felt a great need among West students. This need was for a club to foster not only athletics, but also cooperation and good-fellowship among the students. Perhaps the biggest undertaking of the Aces this year was the paper sale conducted for the purpose of collecting funds for a trophy case. The school supported this campaign so well that it has been possible to make arrangements for the purchase of the case. This case will be placed in the alcove in the lower front hall. Very successful Sunlight dances have been held in the girls’ gymnasium under the auspices of the club. The club has an active membership of twelve. To be eligible a man need not necessarily l e a “Letter-man,” but must be one who is working for the best interest of West High. The cooperation of the student body in the past is greatly appreciated, and it is hoped that we shall continue to receive the support of the school.

However, when the club took in its ten new members last fall, it was so pleased with the ability displayed at the tryouts, that it was encouraged to present “The Florist Shop.” and “The Loving Cup ’ These plays were very successful and added approximately sixty dollars to the club treasury. The money from these plays was added to the money saved from the club dues for the purpose of buying seven screens to be used as backgrounds. The Club of 1922-23 takes great pleasure in claiming the distinction of procuring these much desired screens which have been so much in demand for our own auditorium, in presenting short plays. During the spring term, a committee was appointed to select a suitable name for the club. This committee passed a resolution to the effect that the name. “Dramatic Club should be dropped for “Marionettes. 65 Marion Latta, Secretary.

A spring concert was given by the Glee Club, and the annual party was held in March for Glee Club and Orchestra members. The entertainment consisted of dancing and special numliers by members of the two organizations. On January twenty-seventh, the Glee Club sang from station WLAG.

Orchestra The West High Orchestra can he considered one of the most interesting and instructive organizations in West. Under the new instructor, George C. Kreiger. the orchestra lias gained rapidly from the setback it received when it lost ten of its most seasoned players last June. At the present time, it can be greatly improved by the students of West who have enough school spirit to come out and lend their talents to the school. We are decidedly lacking in cellos, basses, drums, oboes, and French-horns, while we have a profusion of violins and saxophones. Not wishing to drop any of the latter, we must supply enough of the former to keep the balance even. The orchestra has been busy with the following music: Light Cavalry William Tell La Traviata The Caliph of Bagdad La Paloma Anvil Chorus Schubert’s Serenade Mikado am pa La Dame Blanche 67 CARPENTER M.

I followed directions and entered the large, sunny room in the front of the building. I was immediately surprised and pleased at the evident cpiiet and serenity of the room. Every student seemed to have something to do ami was bent upon accomplishing his task. There were two or three students collecting the library slips and at the same time hushing the whispers of a few careless pupils. I asked one of the girls how the library was conducted. She informed me that an organization made tip of Juniors and Seniors called the Round Table, with Miss Clara Leet as faculty-adviser. collected the library slips and filed them for every period in the day. The Club showed its loyalty to the si'hool by sponsoring a hook drive last fall, which added about five hundred volumes to the library. At the present time. I was told that a fund had been started to provide the library with a linoleum floor covering. During the past year, a tiny silver excalibur with the initials R. T. on the blade had been chosen as the Club Emblem. My interest in high school libraries had led me into the different high schools of the city, and I was pleased that I had found in West High a club that was attempting to increase the right spirit of the school. 68 MUCKER CONKLIN KMIN TURNER LEFKOVITS STEVENS DEINARD BURTON LARSON CLEAVELAND COOK MISS SOU8A KKHK KOCIIKOIU) HARTWELL Script Club Officers Richard Kerr .....................

During the fall term this organization sponsored not only the “Extemporaneous League.” but also the “Discussion League tryouts. An Auditorium was held in which the winner of the “Discussion League,” Lillian Forus, gave her speech and in which the final eliminations were made for the “Extemporaneous League.” In February both champions were sent to Macalester College. Several debates were held in which only members of the Debaters' Club participated. In the spring term a debate was held with Miss Souba’s classes.

The Daubers are a group of girls who have organized for the purpose of furthering the interest of art in West. With the exception of one or two, all the girls in the club are art pupils. The work done by the club is done outside of school time. It gives the girls opportunities to learn new crafts, and to accomplish things that they do not get around to do in class.

Many good speakers were obtained for the meetings. The Triangle Club is similar to the Hi-Y Club but with a membership of freshmen and sophomore boys.

Last June the annual cadet camp was held at Fort Snelling where the time was taken up by special military instruction and tactical hikes, and by practicing for the competitive drill, which was to decide which company should hold the colors for the next year. The West High company, under the leadership of Hans Ramm, won the colors. Just before Christmas vacation the cadet companies gave a dance at Central. A great many of the cadets attended this, which was the first social event of the season. This spring the company will drill on the athletic held.

Exceptions prove the rule, it is said, although the logic of the statement is not clear, for according to that asseveration, the more exceptions, the truer the rule; therefore the best rule would cover hut one instance. However. West High School is an exception; it has not lost the faculty to play; perhaps, because West never loses anything—it does gain some things it would like to lose. “What did the faculty play?” “The Professor’s Love Story.” Naturally, as a school function, the play would Ik about a Professor or a Professoress, and the Professor is so much more popular: then, too, the female is said to 1m “deadly.” and the desire was for something lively. Love Story, there was “the rub.” to make it proper for “guides, philosophers, und friends” of youth to admit the existence of the tender passion, much more to simulate such feeling. To this end, the “faculty to play’’ selected as star, as shining head, a way-worn Benedict for the bachelor-professor, and for the married man a callow youth with mind still so wedded to tennis rackets, basketball, turning hand springs and such like joys, that when he heard marriage culled an “honorable estate he thought it meant lauded possessions—as sometimes indeed it does. The dual low-comedy love affair was also in the hands—no, hearts— of two most sedate and serious family men, and the saucy minx of their pursuit— well—the young lady was smart enough for the part. Of course, also, there needs must 1m a man of note(s) for one character; a pretty, sweet, young Miss (such are as plenty at West High as—as the plenties! thing you know) to balance the saucy Miss, for another; and two stately society dames to give an air of elegance; and last a Mrs. Whiffer. Thus propriety and perfection were assured. Whose comedy is it? Originally, it was the work of Sir James Barrie, but after the cuttings-down, the addings-to, the new interpretations, the makings-over, the adjustments to time, place, and persons. Sir James would never recognize its glorified form: it is the supreme product of West High. If a prophet is without honor in his own country, an actor will have little applause on his own stage, and in this case the actors had no stage on which to get even that little applause, so they borrowed the property of a kindly, courteous neighbor. That stage, henceforth, renowned shall Im for the play of 1923.

It is not the aim of the Dramatic Club to portray hyprocrisy, but as Gurley's character was not known, it is excusable. The story shows him and Marjorie MacGregor, parties to one of these “over night romances, for at the opening of the play they have only been engaged for fifteen years. They are both saving up until Marjorie gets enough money so they can l c married. Maxine Wilcox, as a romantic soul with a big heart and little education, plays “Romeo to Marjorie in place of Gurley, much to the regret of Berkeley Leighton, the proprietor of the flower shop. Jealousy aroused in Roger's bosom brings about the termination of this short engagement. They were married and Gurley found a place where he can buy orchids for $1.75 apiece. No sales to Mr. Gurley are yet reported.

It is sincerely hoped that this unfortunate person was present at the performance of the Admirable Crichton. From the time the curtain went up to present to us Carman Doran as the perfect butler. Bill Crichton, who wants always to play the game, and Ernest, who is only Stuart March in disguise. imploring us to suppose that “we were all little fishes in the bottom of the sea.’ to the very end, there was not a moment ill spent. As if being engaged to Lord Brocklehurst, alias Frank Connell, was not enough, poor Lady Mary (Effio Harrington masquerading) can’t imagine anything more trying than to spend a whole morning trying on engagement rings. Before the first act was half over, we were all feeling very sorry, indeed, for Lady Mary and her two poor tired sisters, Agatha and Katherine, who were portrayed by Elydab Wheeler and Mary McCabe. And T weenie, poor uncultured, unconquerable, uncomfortable Tweenie! Maxine Wilcox was all of that and more too. Her giggle will long 1m remembered, not only by the audience, but by Miss Penney and the cast as well, for it caused many restless nights and troubled dreams. It is whispered that Maxine actually giggles in her sleep from so much practice. Philip Fairchild, as the young minister, was excellent. Katherine always thought he'd make good. As Lady Brocklehurst, who does everything for Brocky. Marian Latta was ideal, stately, inquisitive; but always getting just what she wanted. She made this part a tremendous success. Lord Loam with his unforgetable proverb was a source of merriment to all. This delightfully eccentric old gentleman was played by Berkley Leighton. Special note should 1m given to the Island Scene. It was splendidly done in spite of its difficulty. The persons in the play underwent a complete change. From London society people, they became mere castaways with Crichton their undisputed lord and master. The principals of the cast were admirably supported by those playing minor parts. We had no idea that we had so many perfect servants in our midst. The scenery was designed w ith the greatest care to suggest the atmosphere of the play. The rich hangings of the first and fourth acts made a fitting background for an English lord’s home, and the island scenes were most picturesque. T O n § The $kr nn 1?k AcpTiOt S0IJLH1H1V Mil.

The money has been received as follows: Football, $2,552.69; Basketball. $524.07; Green and White Day sales, $380.30; Baseball, $281.78; Hockey, $117.65; Track, $58.17; Tennis. $21.50; Lost Equipment, $63.70; and miscellaneous sources, such as Banquets, $252.60. The necessary calls upon the athletic treasury are constantly growing. This is due to the increased cost of all equipment and the larger number of boys taking part in athletics each year. We are also in need of funds for the improvement of the athletic field. It is to he hoped that the next year will show an increase rather than a decrease in receipts, so that we may have sufficient funds to carry on the work to the best advantage. T. P. Gruwell.

The two teams who, on the pre-season dope were to finish at the bottom, came out on top. upsetting all the calculations of the experts. North and West were the two surprise packages. Of the two. West was, perhaps, the greater surprise. With but three veterans to build a team around, “Batch ' had a difficult task l)efore him. With dogged patience and driving, he finally succeeded in building a team which came home with the coveted championship. Although the school is proud of the fellows who were members of the championship team, still the fact cannot he overlooked that a great deal of the credit is due to our fighting coach. “Batch.” It was through his splendid efforts that West was brought out of the athletic rut to which she had sunk in the years during, and closely following, the war. We, the members of the 192!? football team, wish to thank him for the wonderful spirit which he instilled into us. George Langford. Captain. 92 MEf cromr- Jf r. LB_Lxr m HESPERIAN r jjgg Football Review In reviewing the 1922 football season one loses faith in pre-season dope. West was conceded no chance at all to develop a championship team. Presumably, the graduation of a dozen letter men, some of whom had been veterans for two or three years, had something to do with the prediction that West would not be a championship contender. The West football squad for several years has numbered around a hundred, many of whom are freshmen or sophomores. This squad is picked from a large number of candidates. The process of developing material is going on constantly, and there always has been a valuable man ready to step into the shoes of the veteran who plays his last game. Starting the season with but three veterans was not the handicap it seemed. With Captain Langford. who proved himself to lx the headiest field general for several years, to lead the team; with Meili, an “All-City’’ tackle, and Prescott to steady the line; and with a promising crop of graduates from the second team, a coach could hardly ask for better prospects. Six men playing their first year of high school football made their letters. The first practice game with Dunwoody resulted in a defeat for West 6-0. Every member of the first squad received a tryout. Captain Langford's injury in practice previous to this game was a severe blow. Much improvement was shown in the following game with Edison High, which West won 35-0. The development of the team up to this point was rapid, but additional captain lancpord injuries necessitated the rebuilding of the team. On top of Langford’s injury, which kept him on the side lines for five weeks. Anderson, Mattern, Eidsvold. Alt-fillisch and Jacobsen suffered injuries which prevented their appearance against North in the opening game. Ihe game with North was ragged as far as football was concerned, but spectators were never treated to a gamer exhibition, nor a fiercer brand of fight. 'Hie game ended 0-0. North should have won, but West would not lx lx aten. Meili’s punt from behind his own goal line, after North was held by a few feet from scoring, was one of the features of the game. The ball was touched back behind North’s goal line. In 93 CAPT AIN-EI.KCT MAN , I.ANCFOKI) J ACOBSF.N this determined stand Spahr suffered a broken collarbone. West defeated Central the following week 12-6. By blocking a punt in the first few minutes of play. Bros recovered the ball, which he carried over for a touchdown. A forward pass, inn to Meili, netted another touchdown. Meili, receiving the ball in an open field, cleverly eluded the secondary defense, who had been completely fooled by the play. The strong South team, doped to win the championship. fell before the aggressiveness of West by the score of 23-6. West, by blocking three punts in the first few minutes of play, scored a safety and a touchdown, demoralizing the South team, which could not find itself until late in the third quarter. On a well-executed pass. South scored its only touchdown of the game. Encouraged by its score. South started a march down the field WEBER MAN'S 94 which was not stopped until the team reached the thirty yard line.

A few seconds later Altfillisch broke through tackle and scored from the middle of the field. Farmiloe, to even up for his missed goal kicks, drop-kicked a goal from the forty yard line. The return to the game of the injured members strengthened the team fifty per cent. Langford's leadership was superb. As in 1921. W;est played Fast for the championship. In 1921 West failed to cop its second consecutive championship. West did not forget that defeat. In 1922 East failed to cop its second consecutive championship, but she failed by twice the score which West had failed the previous year. It was a sweet revenge. West by her aggressiveness so unsteadied East's center that he passed CRANSTON PRESCOTT 95 MKILI KAKMILOK BROS over his backfield’s head on the first play. West recovered the ball and on two cleverly executed plays pushed it over for a score in the first minute of play. East could hardly believe that this was West, the West whom they believed had no fight. In the last few minutes of play, Mattern broke through tackle and scored from the middle of the field. The game was won 1 1 0. In conclusion. I wish to stale that the 1922 football team was the scrappiest bunch I ever coached, and the keenest to take advantage of the breaks of the game. Too much credit cannot be given to a bunch who, in spite of the most disheartening obstacles, never gave up nor even thought of it. The sportsmanship trophy speaks for the type of men who represented West on this championship team, and for the kind of support which kept West at the front. H. E. Batch elder. Coach.

Aside from the usual course of events there were two unusual exceptions. The National indoor track meet was held in March at Northwestern University, where Captain Rugg, the sole representative from West, won undying fame as the highest point winner of the meet. The other event consisted of a relay carnival at Ham-line where West High won the half-mile relay and a few special events. The success of this season, in niv judgment, was largely due to the healthy character of the boys themselves, who worked faithfully and consistently during the entire vear. Thomas Rugg. who captained the team for two successive seasons, finished his athletic career at West in a blaze of glory, having established several records that will be diflicult for many an aspiring athlete to approach. LOUIS ZaVODSKY, Coach. 97 Track Review LOUIS ZAVODSKY, COACH Winning the Twin City Championship, and placing third in the Northwestern High School Track Meet, the 1922 Track Team may lx considered a successful one. Captain Kugg, who closed his track career last year, was the high point winner of the season. In the only dual meet of the indoor schedule. Tommy scored twenty-eight points. West beat Cast in this meet, 49-15. Because there were not enough gymnasiums in which to run them off. the other indoor meets were cancelled. In the Northwestern High School Track meet, Kugg placed fourth in the shot-put. and first in the high jump and pole vault, tying the pole vault record. The first outdoor event of the season was the Hamline Relay. Cast captured high honors at this meet, the Green and White winning only the half mile. The following week West met East in a dual meet which proved to ! e a one-sided affair. W est w inning, 66-26 • . West continued its string of victories by taking the state meet by 58 points. East placed second with 26 points. In this meet. West proved that it had not only individual stars hut a team that placed in every event. For the fifth consecutive time Wrest won high honors in the Carleton meet. The meet at Northfield produced the closest competition of the year, hut W;est was not to be denied, and with Captain Kugg taking three first places, the Green and White team came home winner hy a comfortable margin. Six men closed their high school track careers in the Carleton meet. It was the last time that Rugg, Anderson, Bertram, W;iggins, Frost, and Baker donned their track suits for the Green and White. Kugg and Anderson took care of the field events; Bertram and Wiggins were the hurdlers; and Baker and Frost were the dash men. W'est's Track Team has l cen considered by outsiders as a one man affair; but its success has been greatly aided by other strong track men. Marshall Frost shares the record for the 100-yard dash with McWhin-nev. Durward Anderson was one of the best all-around men WVst has ever had. Bertram. Wiggins, and Baker starred for West in their senior vear. Besides these 98 CAPTAIN-EI.F.CT CHAM PINE Jm moWi BCOfU seniors, there were several men from among the juniors and sophomores who showed promise of becoming stars for the Green and White. With the graduation of so many veterans, there is great demand for new material. If West is to retain honors on the track, the freshmen and sophomores must respond and do their share in making a winning team. Although Wrest now has the enviable reputation of having captured all honors in this branch of athletics for several years, she must have a constant supply of new men for her teams if they are to continue to be winning ones. The fact that West has not lost a City Meet for six years proves that her success is not due to individual ability but to collective effort. It also shows if West has a one man team that man is one whom she will not lose, we hope, for some time, Coach Louis Zavodsky. luxe WIGGINS CHI'WILL MARCH MOORHEAD LANCFORD BRADLEY (Coach) A. CONWAY EIMVOLD malmstedt creen (Manager) PERR FLYNN CURLEY WARREN SAWYER (Captain) J. CONWAY PARKER TURNER BYERS JOHNSON KANE CROSSMAN Hockey The hockey season of 1923 ought, it seems to me, to he considered an unqualified success; and when I say this, I am not thinking so much of games won as I am of other things which mean more to all true sportsmen than mere favorable scores. The hoys hung up a splendid record, playing twelve scheduled and practice games, and winning all but one; they scored in their Minneapolis schedule twenty-nine times to their opponents’ three times, and in all the games played, scored a total of forty points to their opponents' eleven. They won the undisputed Minneapolis championship and lost the Twin City championship by one point. There are certain definite reasons why the 1923 hockey squad was able to establish a good record. The spirit of the squad was of the best throughout the season. Each man was doing his best to win for West, not merely to win fame for himself. A large squad was out the entire season, and to those men who were unable to win letters, but furnished the opposition for daily practices, belongs no small share of credit. W. W. Bradley, Coach. 100 Hockey Review For the second consecutive year, West’s hockey team went through the local season without a defeat, losing only the Twin City title. Coach W. W. Bradley issued a call for all hockey candidates about December 1. Prospects were not encouraging, as only two veterans were hack. Two weeks of hard practice in the girls' gymnasium found the squad in good condition to take the ice after Christmas vacation. Central, our old rival, was defeated first by a score of 1-0, which seemed to be a standard score for the first part of the season. North was the next victim to fall before the West sextet. Led by Captain Sawyer and Eidsvold, the Green and White team counted four times, while Edwin Kane managed to keep West’s goal clear. Edison was next on the list, and Coach Bradley's men turned the Wizards hack by the same score of 1-0. West then took on the South team, the weakest in the city. The Orange and Black, by playing a six-man defense, kept the score down; but West manuged to keep up the same average by tallying four times, while South was unable to score. West’s backers were given a blow when Captain Sawyer was declared ineligible. It was largely through his work that West had come through the first round in such easy fashion, but when we met Central for the second time. West obtained a 3-1 victory, being scored against for the first time in the season. By 3-1 captain sawykk scores, the West team defeated both the Edison and North teams, assuring itself of the City Title by the latter victory. The only defeat of the season came when Mechanic Arts of St. Paul and West clashed for the Twin City Title game. West started out in great shape by scoring three points to Mechanic Arts two in the first half. Over-eagerness to add to their score lost the West team the championship. The St. Paul boys took advantage of the rather loose defensive work of the Green and White team and scored two goals. The season ended with the game against South, when West came out on the long end of a 1-0 score. 101 W. W. IIKADI.KY, COACH CAPTAIN-F.I.KCT CONWAY Graduation claims its share of the members of the Hockey team. Langford. Moorhead, Gurley, and Parker are all to be lost. Langford's fighting spirit enabled the Green and White team to win many of its games. Moorhead, although injured in a practice game at the start of the season, came back strong and played nice hockey throughout the year. Roger Gurley, who made his appearance in only a few games toward the close of the season, undoubtedly would have proved more valuable if he had started playing earlier. An error on the eligibility list kept Gurley out of the first games. Parker, a substitute, displayed a nice brand of hockey whenever he had the chance. Coach Bradley has great prospects for another winning team next year. Captain John Conway, who is equally as good on defense as on ofTense, together with Eddie Kane, should make a strong defense. Eidsvold. Sawyer and Warren will l e back to advance the puck up the ice, and with these prsopects. West should have little trouble defending herself upon the ice.

In doing this it was further necessary to shift several men from their regular positions to other positions new to them; such a change as this is almost always a serious handicap to the players at least: but in this instance il has worked out very satisfactorily. Of this year's team, four men, Captain Jacobsen, Bill Meili, McGlashan, and Booth will Ik lost through graduation. Captain-elect limes. Belton, Mans, Beckett, and Haney will return next year. To the sport writer, I have left the task of reviewing the season and making individual comment, hut I should like to say that I have never worked with a finer squad of men, nor have I ever enjoyed the association more thoroughly. 1 wish also to pay tribute to those men who comprise what is known as the second-stringers. Without them, the teams would not have been possible. Hamilton Cummins. Coach. 103 Jg ramr ooooQi rrin rrg icncdc Basket-Ball Review When Coach Mumilton Cummins called basket-ball practice just after football season. “Bill’ Meili was the only seasoned veteran West had; and he and Cap-lain “Bob” Jacobsen, who bad seen some service the preceding year, formed the nucleus of a team which placed fourth in the city. The team was greatly strengthened by two men new to the school. Paul Mans came to West from Dun-woody as a sophomore in the fall, and made his letter in football and basket-ball, proving a valuable asset in both sports. Don Innes, who formerly played for Ames. Iowa, proved to In one of the liest men West had. His accuracy in free throws gave West many needed points. He will be back next year as Captain. The schedule this year, u double round of fourteen, was the longest ever played in the city high schools: West came through fourth, winning seven of the fourteen. The r« sults of the first round are as follows: Cen- tral 25. West 9: Edison 16, West 19; East 15, West 27: Vocational 13, West 25; Roosevelt 17, West 30; South 31. West 13; North 7, West 10.

COACH CAPTAIN-ELECT INNES The South game set a world’s record for basket-ball when the teams played four extra periods. It was considered one of the best games ever played in high school circles, and it was only after four extra quarters of tight playing that either team could make good its chance to win. A free throw finally gave South the game. The slump into which the team fell in the middle of the season probably cost W'est one or two games, but it had little effect on the final standings. The inexperienced W est team was matched against teams of veterans who had been playing together: and although they 104 pul up a good fight they could not compete with the South and Central teams. Their showing against the oilier teams of the city was entirely satisfactory, and surpassed the expectations of most of the fans. Judging from the number of games won. the season would not seem to l� e very successful; however this should not he the only determining factor. If a team has learned to accept defeat rather than to sacrifice sportsmanship, it has learned the lesson that athletics should teach. The 1923 Basket Ball Team was coached by a man who realized this. The fine spirit of the team is in itself a great credit to the school. Captain Jacobsen, “Bill” Meili, Clinton McGla-slum, and Kenneth Booth are graduating this year, leaving a fairly substantial squad for next year. Captain-elect limes. Mans, and Pelton. with several others of the squad may be depended upon to bring more honor to the Green and White next year.

Owing to bad weather conditions, the first two weeks of practice were confined to the gymnasium, with the pitchers and catchers working out each evening. The first two weeks of outdoor practice were spent in cutting down the squad of eighty to forty, and a month later to twenty-five members, who were kept during the entire season. The past high school baseball season was very successful, and a good brand of ball was played, many games being decided by one point. East won the championship, going through the season without a defeat. North finished second, and West third. Two of our players, “Wally” Remington and Warren Olson, were placed on the all-city team. Graduation claimed both Captain Donald Quimby and Wallace Remington, each of whom played four years on the baseball team. The season marked the close of their splendid high school athletic careers. Olness and Clough, both dependable players, were also lost through graduation. L. W. Chamberlain, Coach. 107 Baseball Review Having one of the strongest teams in the high school league, the 1922 haschall team finished in third place. Bad baseball in the crucial moments cost West the championship. Had West received the advantage of the many breaks that accompany a close game, the result of the season might have been different; however, a team must take the breaks as they come and win on superior ball playing. In the initial contest of the season West won a hard fought game against South by the score of 16 to 14. West’s heavy hitting gave our men an advantage over the Orange and Black which determined the result of this closely contested batting session. West lost the second game to North by the close sponsible for the outcome of the game. In the first game ever played on the West athletic-field, the Green and White lost a very close game to East by the score of 4-5. Fumbling at the crucial moments cost West the game. swimming meet tliun a baseball game. Clean handling of the ball was impossible, and the game finally ended when Nicollet Bark became flooded. The Bed and Blue won by a score of 6-5. The poor condition of the field was responsible for the erratic playing which was outstanding throughout the game. The second game with North ended in a disputed tie L. W. CllAMBKRI.AIN, COACH score of II to 12. This was a poor exhibition of base- ball. both teams made many errors. Bad fielding in the pinches gave East the best of a pitcher’s duel lietween Langford and Gu .y, each pitcher being credited with fourteen strike-outs. It was in this game that Langford first showed his merit as a pitcher; the game ended 1-4 in favor of the Cardinals. At the half way mark. West had a five hundred per cent average by beating Central in a well-played game which ended 9-4. The second round opened against South. As in the first game. West had little trouble in hitting South's strongest pitchers, and pounded out eleven runs while the Orange and Black were able to score only three times.

The Iasi inning was ordered to be re-played. Coach Chamberlain's men ended the argument in the twelfth inning by scoring the needed tally. The loss of this game put North out of the running and gave East the undisputed title. The season, although disappointing to many fans, brought out much good playing. The pitching of George Langford was especially commendable. The addition of “Lanky to the pitching staff released Remington from the mound, so that he was able to resume his regular position at short stop for the rest of the season. The loss of Rex Lawson at first base left a gap on the right side of the infield which was never filled satisfactorily throughout the season. The North game closed the athletic careers of “Wally” Remington, Captain “Don” Quimby, and Jack 01 ness, all valuable men. Captain Quimby and Remington had both played four years of baseball for West and are a great loss to the team. OlIIMBV 109 ME1LI REMINGTON 110 ZAVODSKY (Coach) D. FFJDT ROCRRS THOMAS IIAZELTON W. PKLDT (Captain) WAKKINCTON Cross-Country This cross-country season was very successful from many standpoints. The men on the team trained and practiced faithfully for many weeks l efore the first meet. This kind of faithful work resulted in West's placing third in the list. All the men fought for each place and gave everything they had to put West in the lead. The very close scores in the meets that were lost show how hard they fought. The prospects for a team next year are fairly good. Several men who won cross-country letters this year will be hack next season. There is one spirit which helps all teams to win championships which was noticeably lacking this season. The school spirit ought to follow’ a team in a concrete form. It may l e that cross-country is losing favor in the high schools of the city, and if this is true something very radical must happen to keep it as a major sport in West. Let’s get behind all the teams next season and see how many championships West can capture next year. Ill r Wellington Feidt, Captain. 1 Cross-Country Review The West High School Cross-Country Team of 1922 opened their season with a defeat at the hands of her traditional rival. Central. This set-hack, however, did not dampen the courage and the pluck of a dozen hoys who, under the able leadership of Wellington Feidt, proved more than a match for other teams, with the exception of South, who was ul lowed to escape with a meet and the City Championship, by a narrow score margin of one point. Even though they failed to win supreme honors in all the contests, these boys deserve every respect for their unselfish and strenuous efforts to represent honorably and loyally their school in this none too popular sport of the fall season. The outlook for next season is not exceptionally encouraging. Captain Feidt, Gerald Warrington, and Gael Rogers, all men of ability, are lost through graduation, which will place the burden of representing West in this sport on the shoulders of the lower class-men.

A swimming team is greatly handicapped when it has no individual stars. West had no such men, but had an evenly balanced team. In the first meet with St. Paul Central, West received a severe beating, the score being 47 to 21. In the return meet a few weeks later. West, greatly improved, came back and defeated them. This meet and the Hamline meet were the only ones that the West team won. In the Northwestern meet, “Eddy Kane placed second in the fancy diving contest, and the relay team won third place. Next year's team should be a fairly strong one. Kane, Lucke, Witt, Crocker, Furbcr. Wilkinson, Brackett, and Harris will form the nucleus of the team. Milton G. Dunlap, Captain.

The prospects for the season were not bright since there was not one letter man back. However, the semi-annual tournament developed a team which fought its way to second place in a race of some of the best high school teams in years. The team suffered its only defeat of the season in the championship match with Central by a score of three matches to two. The West doubles team, composed of Crandall and Davidson, accomplished a noteworthy performance by going through the entire season without l eing defeated. Good play throughout the season was hampered by a lack of favorable weather conditions. Many matches during the season were played on very cold and windy days. Of the team, composed of Crandall, Davidson, and Rowe, only the latter is lost for next season. Other men. such as Conway and Smith showed up well in the school tournament. With such a nucleus, the outlook for next year is exceedingly cheerful. Captain Davidson. 116 J f— : — Min rr fflES PERI Tennis Review The Fall Tennis Team had a very successful season, placing second only to Central in the final standings. Practically every school entered teams, and there was a great deal of close competition. West lost to Central by a score of three matches to two. 'fhe school tournament was hotly contested, and after the regular tournament, the men had to play off two challenges, which resulted in many changes. The team finally selected consisted of Crandall. Davidson. Rowe, and Greenleaf; later in the season, Smith was called on to play. Letters were issued at the close of the season to the first three named. Tennis prospects for a championship team are bright, with a number of good men out. Much praise is due to Mr. D. 0.

In the elimination contest, many close mutches were played, and in several instances the contestants had to play extra holes to determine the winner. The team that was finally selected to represent West consisted of Bauer, Nye, and Jacobs. Upton, Soderberg, and Rosenstein alternated as the fourth man. The Green and White team could compete in only two of the many meets scheduled because of the bad weather conditions. West won the first from North, 4-0, but lost to East. Although the season could scarcely be called successful, the fact that there were so many candidates out for the team snows a growing interest in golf as an inter-scholastic sport, and speaks well for West’s future in this game. 118 FROST CHAMBERLAIN LA BELLE CUMMINS (Coach) FINN NEW HOUSE JOHNSON MORCAN ItlEBK CHRISTY MELCES PARKER Second Football Team Primarily and fundamentally, a second team, or rather u second squad, is maintained to aid in the development of the first team.

Dun woody failed to threaten West’s goal, and was forced to play defensively throughout the game, while West totaled twenty-one points and left its goal line uncrossed. Against Vocational High the next week. West played better ball, displayed a stronger defense and a much more varied attack. Again the seconds kept their goal line not only uncrossed but unthreatened and piled up twenty-eight points. On the Thursday following they met North, who had in previous games evidenced considerable strength. Throughout the entire first half the substitutes of the seconds held North on even terms. At the beginning of the second half, the regulars replaced the reserves and, as in the other games, forced the Blue and White to assume the defensive. During the remaining minutes the West team pushed over a touchdown, kept the North team constantly on North territory, and was halted on its march toward another touchdown by the final whistle. Most of the men will be back next year and should In strong candidates for the Varsity. 119 Hamilton Cummins. Coach.

The season uncovered much promising material for the future Green and White teams within the next three years. Although West won hut three games, the fad that these came toward the end of the season proved conclusively that the members of the team had learned the value of team play. Coach L. W. Chamberlain at the first of the season was confronted with the problem of picking a team from about thirty candidates, the majority of them having had little, if any, previous experience with the game. With the gym available only two days of the week and then for only an hour, the coach set to work drilling the team in the fundamentals of the game. After the Christmas vacation, the squad was cut to fifteen members. The first round showed that the West men lacked the ability to shoot baskets.

The teams on the whole displayed a lietter brand of hall and showed more pep and enthusiasm than usual. At practice each team played well and it was rather hard to tell what class would come out ahead. Some of the experts had it doped out that the Juniors would again cop the championship. At the end of the first round the Juniors were in the lead, with the Seniors close liehind. The most thrilling game of the season was between the old rivals, the Juniors and the Seniors. It was really a remarkable game because of the girls' ability in handling the ball quickly and accurately. The final count was 15-14 in favor of the Seniors. This made the two teams tied for first place, with the Freshmen and “Sophs” in second and third respectively. This tie was played off at the end of the second round. The result was that the Juniors won the championship by emerging victorious in the last game. Each team had its captain: Seniors, Ethel Teagle; Juniors, Margaret Farwell; Sophomores, Ruth Snyder; Freshmen, Anna McDonell.

The reason for this is that now they can obtain their six afternoons in skating as well as any other sport. Spending this length of time on the ice should make them more experienced on skates. It is little wonder then that they are more interested in earning their numeral in skating now than l efore. The different events that they had to accomplish in order to win a numeral included sculling forward and backward, plain skating forward and backward, cutting the ice. the Dutch roll, the heel-toe turn, etc. The girls were particularly fortunate this year in having Leslie Hopper the chairman of skating, for she is a very accomplished skater and was able to show them how to overcome any difficulties that they might have. Perhaps it is for this reason that so many girls have won their numerals this year compared to other years. In 1920, Florence Tenney was the only girl to win a numeral ,while at least ten girls won theirs this year. In concluding, I might say that skating is, without a doubt, the coolest sport offered at West. 125 Kathryn Havkn. POST FOSBURC FARWIXI. POWERS KAK.IIt.I.DKH CI.ARK LARSON II. SWAIN BLOOMCREN RICKEY TEACI.E LEASE DANFORTII Track There was to lie a Girls' Track Meet, that fact had been well advertised. Considered by the participants a great event hut of no real importance to the school, was the attitude. I discovered, taken by most of our classmates. Consequently, my anticipations were not very high. But. when 1 entered the gymnasium that afternoon, I found to my surprise and secret satisfaction that the West High students, including invself. were wrong, dead wrong. The cheering crowd of spectators, mothers and friends urging on their favorites; the girls racing with Old Father Time and Inciting him to the tape; these same young women defying the laws of gravity by jumping amazing heights and by heaving the halls and shotput extraordinary distances; the smashing of old records, and the establishing of new ones; the thrills, the suspense, the uncertainty, the enthusiasm— all contributed to the developing of an honest-to-goodness track meet and to the making of it the most successful one we have had in our school's history of girls' athletics. Girls, yours is a worthy accomplishment for you not only won the City Championship, but you proved that if given the chance, West High girls can make good in iuterscholastio athletics. 126 Mary Goodman. MEADKK I. ARSON Cl. ARK BENNETT PACE HAMPEL FEIDT RICKEY JEFFREY Swimming In a very short time swimming has become a splashing success among the athletic girls of West High. On May 16 a water tryout was held at the Y. W. C. A. pool. The would-be mermaids must have forgotten their skill after the long winter, because only Katherine and Elizabeth Scott won their points. After the swimming meet on December 7, eight of the dripping crowd were very happy, for they had won their numerals. That same day several veterans and a few of the new numeral holders tried for extra points. The rest, who were not so fortunate, did not allow their enthusiasm to be dampened, but vowed to win their prize next time. In former years the girls chalked up extra points by doing fancy dives, various strokes, and unusual stunts. Now, however, the second numeral eaii be won only by doing the breaks, holds and carries of life-saving. As the position of life-saver has always been claimed as a man’s job and privilege, you can never tell what may come from the girls’ invasion in this field. 127 Dorothy Herman. DAVIDSON BF.NDKK Tennis I wenty-five of West's future Lenglens and Mailorys responded to the 1922 call of the racquet and the net. Pep was the password and Spizzerinktum was the slogan! Mightily did they achieve! Through their superiority of footwork, the accuracy with which they served the ball, entitled Florence Tenney, Bernice Davidson, and Helen Bender ultimately to defend the honor of West on the tennis courts in the interscholastic tournament. Our three representatives battled their way within reaching distance of the championship in the most fiercely contested of all interscholastic games. They battled until eliminated through sheer exhaustion, all but Bernice Davidson, whose pluck carried the colors of West gloriously through the semi-finals. A serve with the speed of a bullet, a return as swiftly as sent, again across the net, and then a return high and slow heart-breakingly just beyond her reach! Lady Luck scorned West that day. The breaks were all against her team, and the shame of it was that no team was more deserving of victory than the 1922 team. 128 Mary Goodman. NORTON SNORE THOMSON M. MC DON ELL CKIFFITH FOSBCRC CLARK POWERS FARWFJ.I. ME AUER Baseball The 1922 season was very successful in that it brought to light a great many new stars. As usual, in the spring there were many girls that turned out for baseball. There was a wealth of good material and. consequently, the teams were l� etter than usual. The one drawback on the Junior team was the lack of an experienced pitcher. It was. perhaps, for this reason that the Juniors lost all claim to the championship. The “Sophs” were fortunate in having a number of equally good pitchers. That was why they were able to defeat all their opponents, and chiefly the Senior team. This team for three consecutive years had walked away with the inter-class championship and was expected to do the same this year. However, the tables were turned and the “Sophs” were the victors. The Freshmen had a good all-around team, but lacked confidence in themselves. The girls gymnasium, in addition to being small, has a very low ceiling and is, therefore, a poor place for baseball games. For a long time the girls have lived in anticipation of playing out-of-doors, and when West acquired her athletic field theil hope seemed about to lie realized. This year their ideal is a reality. Kathryn Haven. How to Earn a “ItT So many girls have come to me inquiring as to how they might obtain their school letter that I decided to use this means of informing them. Requirements for a “W” are six hundred points out of a possible fifteen hundred earned in the various sports. These required points toward a “W” may Ik won in two years in the same activity, except in swimming and skating. An individual loving cup is awarded to the girl winning these six hundred points required for a “W” and an additional four hundred points. One can earn these points by participating in the following activities: Indoor Baseball, Folk Dancing, Gymnastics. Hiking, Skating, Swimming, Tennis, and Track. A class numeral is awarded for the first one hundred points earned in one sport. For each additional hundred points a letter indicating the activity is placed in the corner of the numeral. If one has less than one hundred points, she can apply them toward the total for a letter. A girl competing for honors must have a passing grade in at least three subjects. To win one hundred points in baseball or volleyball, one must make the class team and play four out of the six games in the class tournament. In gymnastics a numeral is awarded to any girl acting as squad leader for one year and proving her ability by leading a class in marching, in free work, in games, and in folk dancing. To win a numeral in hiking, one must walk 32 miles a term for two consecutive terms. Kaeh hike is not less than four or more than eight miles in length. In skating and swimming a numeral is awarded to the girl who executes the prescribed events. In tennis there is a school tournament and an interscholastic tournament. The girls who participate in the finals in the school and interscholastic tournaments are awarded numerals. To win a numeral in track, a girl must take part in the final meet and win two firsts and one third or two seconds and one first. Each year the wearing of a “W” is l ecoining more common in West High. More girls are interested in earning this coveted letter, and this year twelve of them have obtained their “W’s.” Four girls have worked so hard and unceasingly that they have attained the highest honor that any Minneapolis High School can bestow upon girls in athletics—the individual loving cup. Frances N. Cushing, Physical Director. CHANCES N. CUSHING 130 4 Cup Winners Dokis Clark In one year Doris won her loving cup, in addition to completing the necessary points for her “W.” Kathryn Haven As a lilting climax to Katie’s athletic career at West, she has obtained her coveted cup. She is proficient in all sports and an “all around girl. Alice Powers Although she has won the highest honors, that of a cup, “Al is still very active in the field of sports. Ethel Teacle “Tiggie,” always a star in track, won this year's meet, in which she broke several of her own records. She holds the city record for the broad jump and the dash. 131 “BT Winners Helen Bender “MollaV skill and speed on the taped courts earned for her a position on the tennis team. She is proficient also in baseball and swimming. Doris Clark “Riz was the star server on the champ's volley ball team and could be relied upon for extra points. Her successes on the cinder path and the baseball diamond were innumerable. Katherine Feidt “Katie” is a valuable asset to any volleyball team. Her long and trusty right arm returns the balls before they top the net. Track is also one of her specialties. Charlotte Fosberc Good in every sport, but particularly capable in baseball, is “Mike’s” reputation. She is noted for her home runs and remarkable catching ability. 332 sir.:: M I — '1 V ' “ffl” Winners Leslie Hopper “Les” is a celebrity in her lines. She is so skill ful that no one dares to challenge her title as our champion skater. Marion Jones All of a sudden Marion decided to win her felt. This she did by making her class team in volleyball and baseball. She also proved her worth in swimming and skating. Margaret Kelly It would lie difficult to tell in which sport “Mugs” excels. She went out for every team and made good on all of them. Marguerite Lentner Our little lightning fiend finds time now and then to hold down first base on the championship baseball team. This time it is again a case of quality and not quantity. 133 Jm - rifir rr r.'-im.gi.f'.Ai''. . Bc iJdfSPERIR “IB” Winners Bernice Larson “Bee got started rather late in earning her “W. Slie deserves a great deal of credit for her hard and consistent work. Mildred McDonell “Millie,” an all around athlete, starred in every branch of sport. Her skill as a pitcher made her team formidable and aided them materially in winning the championship. Pearl Pommer By steady and unceasing work. Pearl won her letter. Volleyball seems to be her long suit, for it is in this sport that she shines. Eldora Rickey Last, but not least. Kldora first distinguished herself by winning first honors in the 1922 girls’ track meet. She placed first in high jump, in dash, and in broad jump. 134 LITERATURE This Must Go in the Yearly (With apologies to Mother Goose) This is the principal of the School, So he must go in the Yearly!

Elizabeth Cleavei.and, Script. 135 Sugar or Salt ? — Romance or Realism Do you believe that the medicine of life is always better if taken in sugar-coated tablets? Isn’t it providential that this constant thread of romance is to Ik found in the most unexpected places? (Sigh, gentle reader, and read on!) The train cuinc roaring into the little station of Hire, and stopped only long enough to admit an aged couple smothered under rice, old shoes, and laughter. The town seemed well named. I hen the train started, and the happy pair came into the car. There was a huge sign. “Just Married,” pinned to the back of the little lady's cape. I, of course, became interested and did the impolite thing. I stared! I noticed that our lady was small with silvery hair, sparkling eyes and pink cheeks. The man seemed as straight as a boy. at least till he had been on the train a few hours—he crumpled up slightly later on. His kindly face was shining, and the brightness seemed reflected in his neat black suit. It was queer, but after traveling for a few hours they did not stop being interested in each other enough to look at the scenery or the people of the car. Yes. it did seem odd that an old couple could Ik so wrapped up in each other. I guess they must call that the sugar of life,—for them but not for me. Another time at a bank I was waiting for a return check, or something of the sort, when 1 noticed through the bars of the cashier's office, a young man telephoning. A sweet young girl came up to him, looked around (she didn't see me), lifted her palm, and twisted a small gold band around (I guess she wanted a better one), as immediately afterwards she put her hand into his and smiled and smiled at him— Oh. you Romance! Then, of all of the embarrassing things, she looked up—at me. I was gaping through the bars, mouth, eyes, and ears open. Again I had observed the sugar of life—for them: not for me! But there are other times when I have observed without being observed. Often as I am doing my lessons. I will watch the living picture that the young couple next door make in the window. One time, I saw u stuffed davenport, shaded lights, and flickering shadows, caused by the fire. I heard children’s laughter, or weeping overhead as they were most likely being put to bed. Best of all I saw the young father and mother on the davenport trying to be interested in an “Atlantic Monthly” but yet not l eing able to keep their eyes off one another. Then alas, or was it alas? hairpin had fulien from her hair and a little curl dropped to her shoulder. Of course, it must have looked like golden taffv to him as he immediately began to pull at it. The poor old “Atlantic Monthly fell unheeded to the floor and was left alone. That must Ik another ease of the sugar of life—for them: not for me! Sugar may sound inappropriate but salt—salt sounds so practical. Maybe that is’nt all in life, though. I have seen business women who seem cheerful enough and contented; I have seen teachers who ure seemingly happv; I have seen nurses who seem contented. I wonder who can tell what that life is—sugar or salt? 136 E LB RUN ROCHFORI). _ _ _ ■_ ERIfih. . j paaManMaq pr - ••'-L L - HES nL .

Set my heart singing with the meadow larks. At length 1 rode up a steep slope, Which steeper grew, and 1 dismounting, led My partner steed through maze of brown mesquite, And over, round, between, and under rocks, Footing my way o’er shale and sliding sand, Yet ever upwards. And at last I and my horse Came out upon the summit! God! What I saw there! North, East, South, West, The same expanse of scorching sand and rocks, Nor yet the same, for here a green, cool spot Where bees hang lazy o’er the isolated spring, And there a bold, bluff butte, its deep-scarred walls Cleft in the center with a Canyon deep, Parting the mesa into lone, twin peaks. Rugged, yet cedared. and pleasing in their aspect, Yet tragic with the tale of how a band Of hardy pioneers here lost their lives; Died with the redskin's rifles flashing from Below, their own sending the age-long Message, “We yield not, but die!” And as I gazed— Low in the west sank that bright desert sun Which is seen nowhere else, and o’er the sage, From nearby brush to purple distant haze, Spread a weird light, a golden touch. I stood on a high rock and saw the world, It seemed, spread out below, all tinged With that ethereal light, and breathless I Did see as in a daze the light to fade, And gray supplant the gold, when on a sudden The sun went down like thunder, and the spell was broken. But I—I waved my hat above my head, And cried aloud, “Hurrah for God!” But now ’tis gone! The losing of it! Ah. wc who lose the greatest thing in life. And that forever, cry to thee. 0 God of Nature, To avenge the crime! 139 Dustin Adams. And They Called it Boston I was wandering about the old city, Around me were ancestral buildings, Old buildings, historical, memorial, Shrines of a nation’s fathers— Monuments. Monuments to bravery, freedom, liberty. Here they lived, those grand old men of yore— Lived, and living, worked, toiled, bled— Fought and bled for a hope, a dream,—an ideal. ’Tis not the same place I saw But a moment before; nay, For no longer is it dull, drab,—old— It pulsates with life, a nation's life! I thrilled to the life in it— Expectancy, hope of a re-acting of that drama Before my eyes,—I saw it!— An idol, a dream, hope—despair—then joy! A nation’s birth. I walked beyond, and in the midst of the city, Dignified, severe, at rest they lay. Did they know of the success they had started? —In the heart of the city, at peace, lay These soldiers. What was the motive, what the incentive For those deeds of valor, lauded to the skies? A tyrant’s hands, binding, drawing, cutting, A brave heart, a freedom loving soul. And THAT! I gazed heavenward, to that symbol of their courage. Red, white, and blue it shone against the sky. For that they fought, and bled, and died. And now were at their peace. For that! My eyes were bright, tear-dimmed, but bright. I thought of what it meant to die like that. My head was high,—I walked on air—forgetful— Then—1 slipped—a Boston puddle— Darn illusions! 140 M. J.

Every day now Georgie plays Sunday School and drops his birthday pennies into mama's big glass fish bowl. Maxine Wilcox, at the age of two years, has astonished the dramatic world by her artistic rendition of “Little Bo Peep.” It is expected that her extraordinary talents will revolutionize the stage. Alfred Moorhead is royally indifferent to the fact that he is looked upon as the sheik of the nursey. He even ignores pretty little Mary McCabe who gazes with childish adoration at his pink cheeks and long black curls. The tyrant of the nursery, Billy Prescott, believes that the king can do no wrong. He has just seized poor little Roger Gurley's brand new choo-choo train, utterly oblivious to that young gentleman's vociferous protests. Tiny Gracie McDonald has just discovered that life’s worth living after all. Big Brother painted his canoe yesterday, and Gracie finds that the pretty yellow paint changes the color of her hair to a most delightful hue. Little Helen Hall is being punished by having to stand in the corner with her face to the wall. Helen stin k out her tongue at her teacher, and absolutely refused to play Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C Sharp Minor. Roly-poly Clinton McGlashan’s mother has just discovered that the l eefsteak that she was planning on for dinner went with Clinton and his little friend, Donald Murray, on their last excursion to the Pirate's Den in the vacant lot. Tiny Katy Haven's feelings were cruelly lacerated in kindergarten today. Katy's aunt has just bought her a brand new red raincape just like Red Riding Hood's, and teacher hard-heartedly refused to allow her to wear it during school. Margaret Pratt has just cut her pretty curls so she can play football with the little boy next door. Margaret is going to glue them on again if daddy objects. Jean Richardson and little Marge Poehler walked home from school today with Somebody; it didn't matter that he was on the other side of the street. J f The man haters Rasse 11 of spring Is it Good?

The Hesperian Epic Listen and hear me while I try to sing Of the trip of Aeneas, the hold Trojan king. Aeneas had been through a long cold hard reign. And he needed a rest for his gout and his brain; So his trustworthy swords, and his age-rusted wards. His triremes and triremes.—aquatical Fords, He lined up on the shore and prepared to set sail. And told the post-master to forward his mail To the Hesperian land, a place of great fame Of which he had learned in a book of that name. But the signals got mixed as they sailed away; Palinurus, the pilot, had soon lost his way. And got caught, while sailing Hesperian water. In a peach of a storm sent by Saturn's dire daughter. The biremes grew tri-remes; the tri’s multiplied: Each ship was all rent on top. bottom, and side. The sea consumed sailors, and they consumed sea— Neither taste nor appearance was flat, you can see. Then Neptune or Pluto (some god of the water) Raised his ire and his head to see what was the matter. A storm raged without, and one raged within: But old Piute appeased both with his raging and din. Then our heroes proceeded their wearisome way. And stopped at grand Carthage a while to stay; There Dido spread banquets and filled them up full. While Cupid shot arrows, bold Aeny shot bull. Both marksmen were skilful I and both made a hit; Queen Dido on Aen’s beefy booty had bit. But Aeny was out on a vacation trip. And so, early one morning, he gave her the slip. A broken heart would not kill her dead. So she jumped in a burning brush-pile instead, While one flame sailed away, many more licked her head; Ere the Trojans were far, darling Dido was dead. So he builded himself a Hesperian town. And married a wife of Hesperian renown. Aeneas’s gout was just about cured. Of a quiet life, he was fairly assured. So our Hero retired with slippers and pipe, And read the newspapers from morning till night. While Lavinia, his wife, mended socks and washed dishes. Aeny sat by the Tiber a-fishing for fishes. Their progeny live in th Hesperian land. And have built them a nation majestic and grand. 15 1 M “V: t:rc rr:- Absolutely All-Star Casts If “All the world is a stage, as Shakespeare says, wouldn't you like to see these characters dramatize these plays? “Lightning Thunder: Hail: Spring Showers: “Her Tragic Moment The Alarm Clock: The Heroine: Cruel Teacher: “Held by the Enemy Senior Boy: The Enemy: “Prisoner of Gender” He: She: It: Berkeley Leighton Johnny Weber Ruth Keenan M Baby Ben Lovey Jones Miss HefTernan � � Atwood Cranston Mr. Richardson Phil.
