The first settlers, compelled by need to settle near the foaming waters, scarcely thought of them. « ....As time passed, huge manufacturing plants were erected near the roaring falls; they took away their beauty and forced the settlers to move toward the lakes. So, for the first time their beauty was discovered and appreciated...Only Lake of the Isles was neglected. A mere pond, it hardly seemed as if it could ever be reclaimed, until one day man conquered nature! A dredge appeared and the pond was transformed into a tranquil, tree-bordered lake, on whose margin beautiful homes were built. ....Just as the lake district has progressed even over Nature's beauty, so has the city moved steadily forward. From a few hamlets by the turbulent river, has sprung a great city, stretching miles into the country. It has become the center of progress and a haven for beauty-seekers. And so we toast: A Greater Minneapolis, a Greater Lake District, and a Greater West! HESPERIAN °°of 1q9 °°° Annual Publication of the Senior Class of West High School Minneapolis, Minn.

Today the book is much larger, and a more elaborate publication, but it still holds to that primary pur-poser frThese, in brief, arc its aims this year: to chronicle school events and to tell, in as connected a form as possible, the progress of the State, the West District, and the City—a City for which we have unbounded respect.

A monument to the hopes and ambitions of its builders, every new girder put in place is a new stone in the foundation of the city: every stone laid is an integral part of the walls and spires which constitute the ideal Minneapolis—a city which has made heauty a watch word x xAnd when the building is completed it is a fairy castle whose spires ierce the air and inspire the passer-by—a castle where eauty and business work in harmony ttttHHttt BRIDGES A BRIDGE is a cool, white arrow shot from one bank ySjf of a river to the other. Romantic and beautiful when it is completed, it is still more romantic when in process of construction. Girders may jut out in wild disarray, the effect may be one of disorder, but there is a romance and a charm, bom of blazing days and starlit nights, which claims all half-built bridges as its oivn. Workmen are toiling on this structure, elemental and strong. And their strength is reflected in the bridge, a bronze and steel women, shouting power to us all tttftttt GRAIN TERMINALS A GRAIN terminal is an essential part of a Minne-jSJi tot a city skyline. Rearing its huge bulk against the sky, it represents all that has made the state prosperous and beautifulw Especially at dusk is this building impressive. Its sharp lines loose their harshness and blend into the horizon y blue-gray. Like an unfinished cathedral, the massive structure stands out against the sky, and the growing darkness serves only to accentuate its beauty. More than any other thing does this building represent the state; it is the realization of pioneer hopes WATER POWER NOTHING is quite so beautiful as a Minnesota y river Gliding along so smoothly, it holds an endless fascination, urging the voyageur ever onward into new lands. Occasionally the water roughens, sharp rocks appear in the smooth course and the once calm river is transformed into a raging torrent, foaming down a rocky bed, or dropping from dizzying heights This force of nature, the last untamed thing,, has at last been harnessed by man. Without loosing any of its former beauty, it has become an aid to the community. AGRICULTURE HEN the first pioneers toiled sloivly across the plains in their covered wagons, their purpose was the finding of a promised land. One can imagine the line of wagons coming over the crest of a hill to look down on the majestic, slow-rolling Mississippi, with its fertile bottom lands and then to see the rolling lands across the river, veiled in a purple haze, with the sun painting every hill scarlet. Yes, this was and is the promised I a nd Modem science has made farming a pleasure; it has made the desert blossom like a rose.

A n more quiet group of students cannot lie found—hut that does not mean that the club does not accomplish anything, or turn out prominent students. On the contrary, the club has turned forth, in its five short years of existence from 1920 to 1925, three of the five Hesperian editors, two editors of the West High Weekly, many members of the Hesperian and Weekly board and staff; two valedictorians, and many all-around students. In actual projects, the club has also been singularly active and successful. It originated the “Eagle Feather” column in the West High Weekly, which contains the meritorious work of members and also of student non-members. Through its influence, the literary quality of all West High publications has steadily improved and, as Miss Lulu B. Utley, faculty adviser of the West High Weekly, says, “The Script has raised the literary content of the Weekly to a place where it is praised by the entire country.” By making a collection of student verse from all parts of the United States, to be published by a New York book house, the Club has made itself nationally famous. This anthology, edited by Elmer Fehlhaber and Harold Burton, is now in the process of assimilation. When finished, it will be the first anthology of student verse to appear in this country.

THE Upper Class Advisory Council has always stood for the highest interests and advancements of West High School. The Council was founded in 1022 by Charles W. Boardman for the purpose of working out a plan whereby extra curricular activities should be limited. Since this plan was devised, the Council has taken a most important part in the organization of West. Last year the Council helped with Green and White day. it took charge of several auditoriums, and it has sponsored ways to keep West clean. The Council tries to uphold the honor and integrity of the school. It holds together the Upper Classes and gives the A Juniors more voice in running the school. In this way, it prepares lower classmen to step into the places left vacant by graduating Seniors. Members of the Council are elected from the A Junior Class and both Senior Classes. When once elected, a member holds ofiice until graduation, providing he remains in his class. By this plan, the Council is kept intact from term to term. Four members are elected from the A Junior Class, six from the B Senior Class, and ten from the A Senior Class, making a total of twenty members. The officers are chosen from the different classes; the president from the A Seniors, the vice-president from the B seniors, and the secretary from the A Juniors. Mwli. Jacob«on, Lonc. Cranpmx.

EACH year seems to find the Girls' 4 W” Club membership growing smaller. Girls’ athletics have been promoted a great deal this year and we hope that this promotion will help to add a few members to the Girls’ “W” Club. A girl must earn six hundred points in the various sports offered to win her “W” and a membership in the “W” Club. We arc sure that the girls at West who are fully alive and who are interested in athletics will do all in their power to make West a real representative of girls’ athletics. We are constantly making innovations. New sports such as horse back riding and field hockey have been added to our already long list of activities. Girls who participate in the sports offered will soon become members of the “W” Club and the proud owners of a “W.” Later they may win the greatest honor of all, a silver loving cup. In the fall of each year new officers arc elected for the club to serve throughout the year and then alternately the meetings are held at the homes of the members. When a girl becomes an active member, through initiation, she receives a gold pin in which the “W” is engraved. If this year finds new members in all lines of sport the “W” Club, too, will find new members. With the support of the girls at West all of this project will come true. Since athletics for girls is almost an indispensable attribute of modern civilization, we see no reason why the Girls' “W” Club should not increase and prosper. Post.

AMONG the various local institutions, the “W” Club represents one of the most important organizations of West. This club was founded soon after the school had begun to participate in high school athletics, and has grown steadily until the present membership has increased to the large number of seventy-five members. The purpose of the club was to encourage and to boost athletics in every possible way, but today the members stand ready to help the school at any time they are called upon for service. The members represent practically every organization of West, and through this unity they have done their best to help the school in every way that they can. When an athlete receives his first letter, he becomes a member of the “W” club, and is then permitted to have all the privileges of a member and to wear the “W” pin. A “W” is a reward for faithful work and for success in the various branches of sports. 'l'he inter-class basketball trophy which was presented to the school by the “W” Club to encourage inter-class basketball, was the cause of a great deal of anxiety and excitement this year. The trophy was awarded to the Junior class which came out with a clean slate after playing good, hard basketball in all of their games. This trophy has been a great assistance in reviewing pre-season material for the basketball team. Ro� � , Wunuc, Reabmax, Mattvjx. Faibbaxks, Rabton. C.b� «� . Joiixetox. Fixxicax. Feioy, Errix.

IN May. 1920, a group of fellows interested in the activities of West got together and formed the Aces Club. In forming this club they had three definite aims: first, to promote cleaner and better athletics, second, to establish cooperation among athletes, students, and faculty, and third, to create a better spirit of fellowship among the student body. In short, the general idea of the Aces' Club was to promote general harmony and good will. This June several of our members will be lost by graduation; however, we hope to fill these vacancies next year with fellows who have the true interests of West at heart and who will carry on the work so successfully begun by our charter members, flic Aces' members wish to express their appreciation to our faculty advisers. Miss Wilson, Miss O’Gordon, Mr. Zavodskv, and Mr. Richardson and to our friends for their part in our most successful year. All in all the Aces’ Club represents a general movement for uplift of the school and the betterment of existing conditions whenever they are found to be faulty or in need of improvement. Such an organization will always have a permanent place among the institutions of any high school. Jtcotwx, Matt © . Muuitui. Conway, Yiuanb Harvey, Crandall, Heir .

Treasurer “Mine honor is my life; both grow in one: Take honor from me, anti my life is done” THE West Hi-Y Club is divided into two chapters, the “Cogs” and the “CXC. Each one has its own meetings and officers, hut they arc united in carrying out the Hi-Y purpose, “to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The chapters also combine in putting on campaigns and projects. One of the projects of the fall term is publishing the Hi-Y Handbook. The staff endeavors to collect all important information about the school and to print it in a handy and interesting form. This handbook is especially valuable to new students. The way in which the school accepts it indicates that the pupils realize its worth. Besides this work, the Hi-Y Club serves the school in directing new freshmen: ushering at commencement, and securing speakers for a few assemblies. One of the most important campaigns is the “Vocational Guidance” or “Find Yourself Campaign.” The object is to give the fellows of the school an opportunity to discuss the occupation they intend to he their life work, with a man who knows it. During the interview, the fellow can discover if he is suited to that line of business, if there is a futuruc to it, and if he is laying the right foundaton. The other side is the development of character and ideals received froc club meetings and conferences. Sthonc. McPiii.koom. Hiintvw� n. K«M� r. Joiinmn.

Is better to me than gold.'' THE Round Table is an organization of West High, formed for the purpose of promoting interest in our school library, and of serving both the student body which spends vacant periods in the library, and the library itself in every way possible. Members of the Round Table collect the library slips each period from the students, sort them out, and carry them back to the study hall to the study hall teachers. Its membership consists of Juniors and Seniors of commendable scholarship, part of whose duties is to check attendance in the library each period as indicated above. This year the Round Table sponsored an art contest in order to select a book-plate for the West High Library. Many interesting entries were submitted by West students. A first and second prize of five and three dollars respectively were awarded for the most appropriate designs. Our name, as you may guess, revives interest in The Round Table of King Arthur. The walls of the library tell bits of his story. Pupils have only to look at these pictures, many of which are memorials, to get inspiration for digging into and for searching out the better things of life. Round Table members arc cheerfully willing to render service at all times wherever it is needed. Before the days of the organization of this club, methods of library service were varied, but inevitably uninteresting. Round Table work is something to look forward to; it is work which Juniors and Seniors certainly like to do if they are lucky enough to be appointed.

And when I ope my lips, let no dog hark! THE Debaters’ Club of West High School was organized six years ago with Miss Wanda Orton as faculty adviser for the purpose of creating greater interest in the art of public speaking and debating. An elimination tournament was the outstanding event of the fall semester. For this contest, the club was divided into six teams of three members each. The individuals participating in this tourney gained some fine experience and an expert knowledge of many current questions. Some of the subjects used in this series were “France in the Ruhr,” “Restriction of Immigration.” “World Peace,” and “Capital Punishment.” An oratorical contest was held in February to determine the club’s representative at the annual state “Extemporaneous Speaking Contest” at Macalester College. Vidor Brorby won a medal and a scholarship at the final contest. It was the first time that West ever took this honor in Extemporaneous Speaking. In 1924, Lillian Forus received the same recognition in formal debate at Macalester. In March an auditorium was sponsored by the Debaters' Club to recognize pure extemporaneous speaking. A challenge was received from Roosevelt High School to a Debate Scries on the question of “Child Labor.” and the first contest scheduled for the third week in March. Minks, Keim.ii mien.

The interest that the school displayed in the fall tryouts clearly foreshadowed good support. Of the many students that tried out, fourteen were chosen for membership. These were initiated with due ceremony and mystery in room 217. Then the club decided to give two one-act plays; one, “Evening Dress Indispensable, and the other, “Mrs. Oakley's Telephone.” After careful rehearsals. these plays were presented in November. The audience enjoyed laughing at the mixing of the telephone numbers by an Irish cook, and the useless struggle of a fond mother to tame a “Russian soul in a modern daughter. These plays were a financial success and brought forty dollars to the treasury of the club. In the spring term, members of the club attempted something entirely different from their usual line. In the spring, the club entered a Health Play Contest which was open to all the High Schools in the U. S. The object was to write, direct, and produce a play that would bring out the idea of good health. This end was accomplished with the help of the school. The pins which were formerly used were discarded and new ones were adopted. These pins proved so popular that a second order had to be sent in. 'fhe Marionettes urge all Junior and Senior students to tryout when it conducts its annual tryouts in the fall. Dramatic work affords a scope for self-expression that is unusually appealing to a large number of pupils. Caikill, I’mjiat, Mou, Far, Hta � . Wlu , Soiuacar. Counnin, Moot.

THE Daubers Club is the only organization in West, outside of the Art classes, that stands for the furtherance of art among the students. This club meets every Monday, at 3:15, in the art room. 321. After a short business meeting, the members pursue their different types of work. Some sketch, others draw from life, some do batik work, while others model in clay. Any West High student interested in art is eligible to try out for Daubers’. The tryouts are usually held toward the beginning of each term. Applicants for membership are given their choice of drawing one of three things: first, a piece of still life; second, a pose of a living model; and third, a reproduction of a piece of statuary. Afterwards the drawings are judged and those showing most promising ability are accepted. During the past years, the Daubers’ has been active in the Pageants for Green and White day programs. Since the club began in 1918. it has for its faculty adviser, one of the art teachers. Miss Rees, Miss Willard, and Miss Wheelock have served in this capacity in the past. Reginning in the fall of 1924, Miss Whitten has been the faculty adviser, and with her new ideas and enthusiastic leadership the club feels that it has gained much in the past year. Holmooi:, Keixy.

Tttentf -nine GLEE CLUB Gborce Greaves Eleanor Gage ■ Van Leach -Harry Thomas • President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer “If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it ” WHEN the roll was called of the Glee Club at the beginning of the year .924-1925, it was found that a great many of our members had found it possible to continue their membership in the club. This long nucleus was constantly augmented as a result of tryouts until the limit of enrollment was reached. Due to the enthusiasm manifest in the school, we were enabled to be very critical in the matter of tryouts, which were unusually good, and as a consequence. West High School may well be proud of her Glee Club. Phe Glee Club aims to create and maintain a standard of good music in the school. In order to do this, we stage operas, cantatas, oratorios, and eventually perhaps a minstrel show. In collaboration with the other school glee clubs of this city, we present concerts and contests. In all of these productions, nothing but music of the very best merit is considered, and in the final presentation neither time, energy, nor effort are spared, that we may come up to our standard. The only monument of achievement which a school glee club may look back at are the operas which it has produced. Besides the general good which is derived from these operas in the drill in ensemble singing, a great many persons who are able to take principal parts are greatly benefited by the training and experience which the opera affords them.

It has always been the wish of Mr. Kricger. our leader, to prepare the operas without interfering with the regular school curriculum, and in this opera he had the pleasure of swing his ideal realized. The rehearsals held in time belonging to the school was reduced to a minimum and the principals of the opera all had passing grades. It is to be regretted that West does not afford the Glee Club a suitable auditorium in which to present these operas. In all of our productions, we must labor against great hardships occasioned by the necessity to go out of the school for a suitable stage; however, in spite of this fact, we have set a standard in our recent production which will be hard to surpass. On February 5th and 6th, the West High Glee Club produced the comic opera, “Robin Hood,” by l)e Hoven. The Glee Club wishes to thank the student body of West for their splendid support of this, our latest vehicle. It is truly gratifying to perform to such a large and courteous audience as we were privileged in having. May we again urge every student, whether or not he believes himself to be a singer, to try out for the Glee Club—ami if he isn't accepted, to try out again? Tryouts train you in singing, make you more self-confident, and add to your poise. We are always in need of good singers, and our tryouts, held yearly, offer you a chance to become a member, and aid us in finding new talent to take the place of the graduating students. y.M Clark.

Krifckk • Melba Car wick “There’s music in all things, if men had ears; Their earth is hut an echo of the spheres.” THE past year has been a very successful one for the West High School Orchestra. Much of the credit goes to Mr. George C. Krieger, the director, for his unceasing efforts to form an orchestra of which the school could he proud. At present it has a membership of about fifty-five. A large proportion of this number is violins. We need some more violas and flutes to keep the balance of harmony. Our aim is a complete instrumentation so that our orchestra can be the best amateur organization of its kind in the city. This organization has played a prominent part in the activities of the school. The orchestra is steadily increasing in the number of talented people. Better talent offers us a greater advantage in playing some of the more difficult musical compositions. Many of these compositions have been done creditably well and the organization has received much commendation from its director. The success and accomplishments of the organization are due to Mr. Krieger’s unselfish efforts and his desire to have the West High School Orchestra the best that it is within his power to make it. Everyone will agree that he has turned out an orchestra which is a credit to the school. Wm d a i ' M HI KjNC, HaMII.TON, Ht� N«. lloNLY, F. SMITH, B ICC«, ZnCLEB, C.AHII., 1,01.KIN. A.

THE Madrigal Club was organized in 1924 for the purpose of furthering an interest in good music. In becoming a member of the club, one has the opportunity of furthering an interest in good music. In becoming a member of the club, one has the opportunity of expressing himself musically and of becoming familiar with public performance. Through the help and cooperation of Mrs. Jenkins, our faculty adviser, we feel that we have accomplished a great deal in the past year. The history of music was studied during the first term, and the study of famous and interesting operas, the second term. Programs arc given at the regular business meetings which are held every two weeks. Several miscellaneous recitals are presented during the year which are open to interested students in the school. An auditorium is also given once a year in which soloists chosen by the club members perform. Two initiations and several parties are held during the year. Also the members of the club in a body attend the symphony orchestra concerts given from time to time. The piano, violin, cello, saxophone, flute, voice, and organ arc all represented in the club. Our study, programs, and entertainments should be of interest to every music student in West, and we urge that such students come out to promote and develop this organization.

Which I with sword will open” THE West High Key Society was organized in 1921 by the Parents’ and Teachers’ Association of West High School. Primarily its purpose is to stimulate scholarship, to increase respect for scholastic ability, and to recognize the merits of ability in school work. It means to a high school student what Phi Beta Kappa means to a university student. The emblem of the West High Key Society is a Greek key, hearing in old English the letter “W” which is surrounded by a laurel wreath. The Key Society provides for its members an impressive ceremony. It also entertains the members of the honor roll of each June class. Without a society such as the Key Society, West High would lose immeasurably its opportunity for just appreciation of scholarship. Membership in the Key Society is based on high character as well as excellence in scholastic attainments. Much of the progress of the Key Society is due to the unselfish and wise leadership of Miss Elizabeth Fairfield, who always helps to make the end of the high school career enjoyable for each member. In 1922 a reception was held at which all members of the honor roll since the founding of the school in 1907, were present. It is the ever present aim of the Key Society that its scope should not end with graduation, but that it should enlarge so that its memory will ever be with its members. Wniniut, Mom, Rioomcrkn.

Yet there has always been an organization of this type at our school. The Managers' Club of West High School was reorganized in the fall of 1925 and has for its members the individuals who have won a “W;” managing some athletic team. The club now consists of ten charter members who are responsible for keeping the club operating to serve the best interests of the school at all times. The object of this organization is to establish a better understanding between the various teams and the student body, to advertise the athletic events of the different seasons by means of posters on the bulletin board, and to give talks by some of the members during advisory period, and to assist the faculty managers in every possible way to gain the attention of the student body, and to focus interest upon coming athletic events and games. Although our club has not been before the notice of the student body as much as other clubs, we have endeavored in our way to cooperate with the school in general and to assist in its athletic life in particular by keeping West at the top in every way. We only ask the students to, in some measure, appreciate our efforts and cooperate with us in what we arc trying to do. Our aim is to serve the school to promote the best interests of West.

THE largest membership in the history of the Mathematics Club of West High School was the achievement of this year’s organization, in which some fifty students were enrolled. Last fall the club was completely reorganized under the leadership of Maud G. Beck, with new constitution and new officers. Mathematic students immediately showed immense interest in the club and the membership quickly mounted to record heights. Meetings were held every second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from three to four o’clock. A program committee, elected by the club, planned the schedule of each meeting. A speaker with a thorough knowledge of his subject was provided for each meeting. Among those who addressed the club were Professor Beale of the University of Minnesota, who spoke on “Geometry's Use in Astronomy,” and Mr. T. P. Gruwcli, who spoke on “The Transit.’ Whenever possible, members of the club explained the subjects studied. The fourth dimension, the various uses of the transit, and queer algebraic fallacies were some of the things presented by the students themselves. After each talk, a general discussion was held in which each member had an opportunity to question the speaker and discuss the subject with his fellow members. By this means, differences of opinion and new ideas were brought out. Ckclmax, Kinc, Elliott, Zitc.ua, Switt, Whit . Sacm, Hmmteman, CixniDX. Am. Nth. Duh, F.mi, Oucirr Sciivmaciiu, Cuanmjh.

VARIOUS reasons for taking Spanish exist in West High School. Of them all, the true desire to know not only the Spanish language, but also the manners, customs, and peculiarities of the Spanish-speaking people is the most worthy. It is to benefit students who take Spanish for that reason that the Spanish Club exists; for its main purpose is to enable students to acquire more knowledge of things Spanish than is possible in the class room. Due to the fact that the Spanish Club, in its present form, has been in existence only one and one-half years, our chief business during the year has been to get organized in a way which would enable us to carry out our purpose most efficiently. To further this end, a meeting of all the Spanish Clubs in the Minneapolis High Schools was held at West on December 15, 1924. At this meeting, which was attended by representatives from four schools, each club told the others of ways in which it was succeeding in its own school. The result of this exchange of ideas was highly satisfactory, and it is hoped that a Pan-Hispanic meeting will become an annual event. In order that the members may acquire an aptitude for the ready understanding of the Spanish language, we present Spanish plays, give oral topics in Spanish, and hold Spanish debates at our bi-weekly meetings.

The purpose of the dub is twofold: first, to create interest in the French language: second, to create interest in “la belle France. ’ The two purposes of the club have been carried out. Interest in the French language has been created by sponsoring interesting French programs, given at the regular monthly meetings, the chief feature being a delightful French play. Many members of the club have started correspondences with French students in Paris. Interest in the country has been created by the sending of a Christmas box of gifts to “L’Orphelinat des Armees, a well known French institution. The club received a note of thanks from the secretary of the institution a short time ago. Great interest has been created in the French department of West High School by the activities of the club. These activities have been surprisingly successful when one considers the short existence of the club. Miss HiscoCk’s inexhaustible efforts have added a great deal of vim to every meeting. The club certainly could not have been a success without her help and initiative. We hope that the French Club will continue to function as a permanent language club at West High, and that we, its first year members, may leave a record which will inspire our successors to added efforts. . y o - j I -RSUJ'J kUWKJP.

WHAT is the Girls’ Home Club? This question is often heard among the students of West High School, when they first hear about this club. The Girls’ Home Club was organized four years ago by Malva Cameron Lockwood, West High Visiting Teacher, for the benefit of girls who are working their way through school. Most of these girls do not live in their own homes and find it impossible to attend any club which meets in the afternoon after school hours. An evening meeting and party is planned and sponsored by the P. T. A. for every three weeks, and these parties are held in the Girls’ Gym of the school, or at the home of one of West High Mothers. At the parties, friendships are formed, higher ideals established, and an opportunity afforded the girls to have real fun in a wholesome way. The members all feel that the G. H. C. is a great success and that it will always be as long as we have the kind of help given by our Principal, Mr. J. N. Greer, the interest of the faculty advisers, Malva Cameron Lock-wodo, Mary Knox Potter, Neva Schrocder, and the cooperation shown us by the West High Faculty and Parent-Teachers’ Association. Olson.

The evening sun that smiles the clouds away. IT was during the fall term in 1924 that a group of fellows met and organized the Cogs Club for the purpose of improving the spirit of the student body at West in regard to all school activities. The Cogs have steadily worked to accomplish their purpose by helping clean up the lunch room, by keeping the auditoriums more orderly, and by suppressing a better brand of sportsmanship at school games. The club has at present an active membership of sixteen boys, including our leader, Bill Chambers, secretary of the West I ake branch of the Y. M. C. A. New members are chosen from the student body on their merits as conscientious workers who will work toward the betterment of West High. Our weekly meetings have been devoted to programs of a Christian nature. Mr. Greer and Ben Chapman of the Y. M. C. A. gave talks at recent meetings. One meeting a month is held in conjunction with the monthly meeting of the Hi-Y at the central Y. M. C. A., and the club has heard some very interesting talks as a result. Conditions seem to have improved around West considerably, but there is still much room for improvement. Every student should have the best interests of his school at heart; we appeal to the student body for their cooperation in making a better West. The Cogs Club aims to run smoothly, to function as a unity, and never to mesh through faulty coordination. Hitch in on, Yd-land. Nu on. IIakri on. Mtimo. Conway, Gcnnu Hazutt, Cvuan, G«(KN. Haivky.

REALIZING that West had never had a really successful science club, four chemistry students decided to remedy this situation, and organized the Chemistry Club in January, 1925. As a club of this kind can function better if its membership be small, it was decided to limit the quota to fifteen. Members of three classes are represented as follows: the Seniors, the Juniors, and Sophomores. This method of choosing from several classes guarantees a nucleus for the coming term and assures the permanency of the organization. The club plans to visit the various steel mills around Minneaepolis, to be present at chemistry lectures given at the University of Minnesota, and to conduct experiments during the club period. Thus it will be seen that our program is a varied and an interesting one. The club hopes to accomplish much this term, and to establish itself firmly in the school. The ultimate aim of the members of the chemistry club is to make the club one which is well known throughout the schools of Minneapolis for its interest in science. We urge all pupils interested in chemistry to make plans to join the chemistry club next year in order that through cooperation the club may have a prosperous program. Chemistry is not just a science of the shut-in laboratory; it is something which permeates all life today. EcKMAKir, Fav, Mu. Maw. iici.n, Siwiw Niciiol . Lri_ANt , Wallace. Wiilciak.

BOARD Eleanor Swick......................... • President Wanda Toba...............................Pice-President Miss Ruth McGarvky.......................Treasurer uWe live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths. In feelings, not in figures on a dial. THE purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to establish girls' athletics as one of the most important activities in high school. To do this aim the G. A. A. has been offering different sports for every season: hiking and volleyball, in the fall; skating and swimming, in the winter; baseball and track, in the spring; and hiking and tennis, in the summer. During the last year this schedule has been considerably enlarged by the addition of horseback riding and field hockey. The former has already taken its place as one of the major sports in the G. A. A. A riding club for beginners as well as experienced riders has been organized. Up to this time, field hockey has only been played slightly in practise for next fall. It will then be played in class teams and points will be awarded as in baseball and volleyball. The G. A. A. is also making plans for golf which will be added to its program next year. As a means of advertising each sport individually the following girls have been appointed to act as managers: Evelyn Sampson, volleyball; Barbara Pank, hiking; Anna McDonnell, skating; Charlotte Yerrell. swimming; Ruth Benjamin, baseball; Katherine Cudworth, track; Helen Dwan, tennis; Helen Sterling and Eleanor Gould, riding; and Margaret Eliason. field hockey.

It must appear in other ways than words.” IT is only fitting that this should be a tribute to Mrs. Glenn R. Matchan, who founded the “Mothers of Athletes,” an organization devoted entirely to the needs of the pupils in West High School who take part in athletics. Realizing the problem of the Athletic Board in keeping so many boys in suitable equipment, Mrs. Matchin in nineteen hundred and twenty-one invited the football mothers to a tea at her home and suggested that they meet occasionally and do all of the mending and darning on the athletic garments. It met with hearty response and in this way the club was organized. Mrs. Matchan worked untiringly for the spiritual as well as the material welfare of the boys. Her home was a gathering place for the boys, and she was a pal with them. The attendance of these “Mothers” at the games was ever an inspiration to the players and helped to build up a wonderful school spirit. This organization soon included the mothers of all athletes, and finally took over the work for Green and White day which occurs twice during the year and has become a big institution at West. The nineteen twenty-five “Mothers have set the first Wednesday of every month, from ten to four as their meeting time. Their only aim is to serve faithfully the interests of the school and prove worthy of those who so unselfishly gave the best they had when they founded the “Mothers of Athletes.” Mm. Cilixu. Mu.

The notice failed to observe that Hazelle Haug was responsible for the clever costumes, and that Mrs. Shakelton was the coach who put over the playlet, “Early Ohios and Rhode Island Reds.” The Shepherd was beautiful, but how could he have been otherwise, surrounded by a bevy of lovely creatures, the ugly Wazicr, Vizier, and Nubian slaves? This fantastic pantomime was ridiculously funny and represented hours of work by the art department where the costumes were block printed, the properties and curtain made and painted by the students.

How this seventeen year old keeps the neighborhood in an uproar through his puppy-like adoration for Lola, who is supplemented by a microscopic atom called a poodle, and answering to the name of Flopit, and how his pathetic sorrow at her departure wrecks his whole life—almost form the highlights of a play written for youth, and absolutely true to life. No better play could have been chosen for the June Class production, since it has a realism and an uproarious trend that make it primarily a play for high school students. Managed by Hay Nelson, the play moved smoothly, and much gratitude is also due Mrs. Leota K. Goodson, Mrs. Hacrtcl, and Miss Ethel Ulvin for their competent coaching and supervising. The Central High Auditorium was used for production, and the settings and costumings were more than adequate, forming an accurate and realistic background.

However we. the members of the class, feel that through our small membership we have had a better chance to become acquainted with each other and to make many friends. Our class has proved itself easily one of the most progressive that every graduated from West. It ranked extremely high in scholarship; in athletics many of our members have made a great name for themselves; its members have been leaders of both their class and of the school. We feel justly proud of our record and consider it one that could not easily be attained. The most progressive and democratic step taken by the class was to give a class vaudeville, offering parts to nearly everyone in the class. In a vaudeville there is more democracy to he shown than can be shown in a class play. Whereas a play gives parts to only a very few, a vaudeville offers a chance to everyone, and everyone can show his talent and ability. Both in a monetary and an abstract way the vaudeville was a success; it bound the members of the class together more closely than anything else could; it enabled them to give to the school a memorial which ranks with the other class memorials; it made them a compact unit—working for the good of tiie school. As we leave school, our class is widely separated, but wherever its members may be, I am sure we will look back upon our four years at West as lour of the most profitable, most enjoyable, and most inspiring yet spent. I hrough the untiring efforts of our teachers, we have had instilled in us the highest principles of life and we feel prepared to enter the world fully trained whatever tasks we may have to face.

Page Forty-eight W (tyfTtftl -rvI'vQL'J BOuTTA iS LA � ' , 0 , r'- CLASS OF JUNE, 1915 THE four years at West have passed like a dream; development of our character, expansion of our athletics, and the fine spirit of fellowship between the faculty and the students all has made this dream pleasant and worthwhile. But now comes the awakening; the realization that we shall soon he “on our own” to work out the troubles of life for ourselves and to seek our own council. We shall no longer have anyone to act as our mentors; we must be independent. Many of us will be going back to school and others will go to work, but whenever we go or wherever we go, we can not nor will forget the four years at West High. Our class holds the distinct honor of having the largest number of honor students graduating from West at one time. In athletics we have not been so successful as have other classes, but after all it is the hard fighting teams and the true sportsmanship that count. Whether we win or whether we lose, we should all know that the only thing that counts is our ability to act and feel like true sportsmen. Now that we are to have our parting from West and now that we are to leave West for good, we realize that it was through the wonderful cooperation of the faculty that we arc able to graduate and we want to thank all the teachers for their kind friendship. As we go out into the world, may we profit by the lessons— not of the classroom, but of life, and show that we appreciate the guidance that we received and that we may profit thereby. We give to the June Class of 1925 our best wishes for a successful chance to put into operation the lessons it has learned during its four years at West.

OAKLEY'S TELEPHONE Mrs. Oakley -Mary - - Constance Jeanette - I.LCILF, BAYEK Flora Sikbald Jeannette Wells Ruth Peterson “Mrs. Oakley's Telephone.” a one act play produced in the fall, had some clever acting in it. There is a good deal of comedy, the comedy part being that of an Irish maid. The maid mixes two telephone numbers and asks Mr. Oakley to plan to stay over night, and the guest for dinner to bring alligator pears and oysters. As a result of her mistake, u young couple are reconciled. The play weaves around the telephone very cleverly ami excites a great deal of laughter. It was ably played by an all-girl cast and well liked by the audience. “Evening Dress Indispensable” was produced at the same time as Mrs. Oakley's Telephone.” The play is of a more modern type, dealing with the mother and her love affair and the daughter and her Russian soul. It tells of the daughter that is very tired of the foolishness of the younger generation and decides to develop a Russian soul. She expresses her soul in wild splashes of paint and music. Mrs. Waybury's friend attempts to make Shiela reform, to no avail. Then when Shiela refuses to accompany him, her mother says that she will. Seeing her mother in a very becoming gown. Shiela becomes jealous and reforms. It is an amusing play. It uses the younger generation as a plot. Contest. This contest was open to all public high schools, the requirements being a one act play, lasting thirty minutes, dealing with health. Many of the members wrote plays, but the final decision of the judges, teachers interested in drama, went to a play called “Well?” by Leland Schubert. This play deals with a family consisting of mother, father, and two college children that go into the Canadian woods and rent a summer cottage. The mother pretends illness in order to test the children. After many accidents, the young visiting nurse comes in and straightens things out. Of course the father, hearing of his wife’s sickness, comes home quickly, but lie finds everything all right, thanks to the young nurse. It is a well written play, the first attempt of the Marionettes along this line.

Either through natural ability or pleasing personality or a combination of both, they come to the front in the course of their school careers and make a permanent place in the school history. Such arc the Progressive IPcstenters. They have shown especial talent in their particular activity, and as such arc worthy to be called truly progressive, and leaders of the school. Pope Fifty-three ssi L mW l Y V V- AN EXPLANATION WHEN the idea of Progressive Westerners was first broached, it was called “impossible.” Countless people argued that the election would be merely on the basis of popularity; that merit would not enter into consideration, but only how the student was liked; and that the students would not be fair in their choice. The contest was held. What were the results? Every student chosen was a fit representative of the activity for which he was chosen; the teachers had an opportunity to express their choice of candidates; and the students acted with all fairness in making their choices.

Chamberlain WITHIN the opening day of school, football began to hum at West. Over one hundred boys were in suits getting in shape at the end of the first week. With only three weeks to get ready in, and with only three letter men in school, there was work ahead for the coach. Bud Chamberlain was elected captain for the season of 1924. The first game with John Marshall, played at North field, did not draw very well. The few that came saw a nip and tuck battle all the way. The game should have ended in a scoreless tie. Neither team earned a touchdown that day. An unfortunate fumble just before the game closed, gave John Marshall the kind of opening to score two plays. It was in this game that such men as Labatt. LaBelle, Copeland, and Odell started to show their worth. As experience, the game was worthwhile. The second game with South at Nicollet Park found West the best team on offense and defense. A blocked kick and a pretty open field run for thirty yards by Cabatt gave West the necessary twelve points for a win. It was in this game that a twin intercepted a pass and ran it back for fifty yards only to have the half end before it could be carried over for another touchdown. Injuries, that bane of footbal teams, claimed both Mer- I'agc Ninety-six The Big Snow Fight At North fold and Leach. For South High in the backfield, Discher kept us worried by his sweeping end runs. The Roosevelt game was a sad exhibition of football. West was clearly off form and seemed to be greatly handicapped without Murfeld and Labatt. Labatt being lost for the season with a broken foot. One bad quarter in which Roosevelt scored twenty points was our undoing. But it was only in this second quarter that the Teddies were able to score. The good end work of La Belle in this Roosevelt game was very noticeable, as was that of Glassberg, whose passes were always accurate and proper. Gunner also came through here with some good tackling and opened our eyes to his worth. The Central game found us playing a superior team which outclassed us. Leach received a wrenched shoulder which kept him out of die game. McMichael also was injured. But the boys fought it through to the end. They took their beating like men. Again fighting against a superior team, we next met Edison at orth. We held them even the first half, but we could not keep up the pace, so we were finally defeated. Thomas, in a final trial at scoring, dropkicked a perfect goal from the twenty-five yard line. This kick was another sample of the good work he had been doing for West all fall. He was one of the small guards in the city, but also one of the best. The final game was a snow fight with North on their own field. It closed a disastrous season with a score of 20-0. In six inches of snow good football was impossible and neither team showed much football. The football season thus closed. Capt.-Ei.ect Merfeld rat,,- y erni Mi. Roach, C� :i:n. IlmiWN, It. Wtxcii.

THE 1924-25 basketball season at West opened with a number of practice games on which we about broke even. We divided a double bill with St. Paul Central; we lost to the Hamline Freshmen, and we won over St. Louis Park. Shakopee, and Excelsior. The first game of the season found West the winner over Roosevelt by a score of 18-13, and we started on for the top position in the percentages. Fast breaking, close guarding, and superior shooting won for West in the game, which was highly exciting. We dropped the next game to North by a ten point margin because they played the better game. Their favorite long shooting came in heavily here so that we were outclassed. This outclassing led, of course, to West’s defeat against Edison on our floor, we were powerful and played very well. The 20-15 score does not half tell the story of the closeness of the game with the Welch twins leading the attack and with Jumbo under the basket, it worked out nicely for West. Then the game against Marshall on their floor was close and exciting all the way. It was a very good game to watch. Twenty to eighteen was the final score and West was still tied for the top with three victories and Capt. Jacobsen one defeat. m?t'! iffi A . Page Ninety-tight That Central game with the crowd packed in like sardines, let the folks see a real game, 11-1 at one time, 22-23 at another, finally 22-25. It was truly a great game and as close as any West team has ever come to heating Central. Poor playing against Roosevelt, North, and Edison dropped West to fourth place in the standing of any degree of accuracy in shooting would have won the North game to the Edison game hut we couldn’t seem to convict and were out-scored hut not out-played. The basketball season of 1925 was completed Wednesday, March 18, at the Central gymnasium. Although the score was 26-11 in a well-fought game. West started out in great style, but in the second session was forced to a lower score. A spurt in the last half failed to roll up a victorious score for the Green and White team. Central, who has won thirteen consecutive games with West in the last six years, simply won again. But West never lost heart. The games of the second round with Roosevelt, North, Edison, and Marshall, were also not the kind which roll up big scores, but all the same the men deserve credit for their consistent work. The team will lose by graduation some of its best players, but there will be a few staying on for the games of next year. From these a new fighting machine for 1926 must he built. There is always a chance that we may yet beat Central. You never know your luck, and one half of our school color is green. As a sport, basketball is a clean, fast, and exciting sport with plenty of thrills for the supporters. R. R. Roach. Coach. Coach Hoach Tub Boys “Take It Easy' Page Ninety-nine Fry. March. LaBtixk.

PLAYING for the first time in the history of the sport in an enclosed rink, the hockey teams of the Minneapolis high schools exhibited a type of game which bids fair to make hockey an ever increasingly popular winter sport. With the opening of the new Minneapolis Arena, where five thousand people can view the games in comfort and ease, there is no reason why, with a little backing from the managers in the other high schools, hockey cannot be made a really big thing in winter sports. When the game is played as it should be played, there is no faster nor more thrilling game from the spectators’ viewpoint than is hockey. The 1924-25 season was an experiment in indoor high school hockey. Apparently the interest in the sport increased as the season progressed and it is hoped next year that we may begin where we left off this year and receive the support of the school. The schedule was disappointingly brief. West, Central, Edison, North, and South being booked to meet each other only once. However, due to the fact that West, Central, and Edison each lost a game, the schedule ended with these teams in a triple tie for first place. In the playoff West drew the bye, Central won from Edison Coach Bradley handily, and a week later West downed Central for its Page One Hundred fourth consecutive city championship. In this game, a typical West-Central affair, the teams battled for three periods to a scoreless tie, but in the last minute of the fourth period, McCabe scored on a pass from LaBatt and thus climaxed a great struggle. At the time West closed its hockey schedule, the St. Paul schools still had two weeks of play on their books, with the winner of the title there still in doubt. For this and other reasons, West had practically given up the idea of a Twin City title game, however, when Mechanic Arts was declared the winner of the St. Paul title, West was approached for a game. After some negotiations the game was agreed upon, to be played at the Minneapolis Arena, March 4. After two weeks of inactivity, the Green and White tried its best to get into condition in order to capture the Twin City event. That they fell short is evidenced by the score of 5 to 0 in favor of the St. Paul Mechanics. In justice to Mechanics it must be said that they clearly outplayed the Westerners individually and as a team. However, in justice to the Green and White it must be remembered that they were against a team of older, heavier, and more experienced men, a team of university size and caliber. Nevertheless, the game was exciting and interesting. The outlook for 1925-26 is more promising than it was at the beginning of the present season. From the squad of 16 men, Captain Warren, LaBatt, Yelland, McCabe, Conway, Malsed, Hcinrick, Jensen, See, and Copeland will return. W. W. Bradley, Coach. Caft. Warren Paoe One Hundred One ■I Mb.

Mattson TRACK SEASON OF 1924 “With Atlanlean shoulders, fit to hear, The weight of mightiest monarchies THE track season of the school year of 1923-24 can fairly be characterized as being the least successful in the history of the school. With exception of a couple of minor dual meets that were held during the winter months, victories on the track for West were the thing of the past, I.ack of interest on the part of the school as a whole, coupled with a lack of material resulting therefrom, and serious injuries to promising members of the team seriously reduced West’s chances. The general apathy for this branch of sport had its inception in 1922 when during that year West reached the height of its success in track. That year graduation had depleted the ranks of trackmen to such a degree that scarcely any experienced men remained to maintain the high standard set up by teams of previous years. Worst of all, no new material presented itself wherewith to rebuild the shattered scoring machine that once worked so smoothly. In 1924 conditions were much similar to those that existed at the beginning of 1923. Material of any promise drifted into other sports. With a handful of candidates training had begun and a team was put in the field for the initial contest. West defeated Edison and disposed of South in the same manner a week later. It appeared at the outset, that once Vugt One Hundred Tico On Your Marks—Go! more track at West was to rule supreme, but a bitter disappointment was in store for us all. Central, West’s traditional rival, by virtue of her usual wealth of material and coaching facilities humbled the West team (more than doubling the score) in a dual meet in the University Armory. West was able to capture but three first places in this meet. The outdoor competition ran true to form. The first appearance took place in April at the Mainline University Relay Race Carnival. Rut, alas! a thrown javelin penetrated the leg of one of West’s best sprinters. The wound thus inflicted totally disabled him for the rest of the season. As expected. Central won practically all the races that day, giving a strong indication to duplicate in all the meets to come—and it so happened. The City Meet that soon followed went decisively to Central; West had to be contented with secondary honors. The annual pilgrimage to Carleton College had its usual interest. The weather was ideal and the beautiful surroundings which this good school has been always willing to share with its visitors presented their customary charm. The track meet was conducted with its usual precision and Minneapolis Central, as expected, made off with sixty points, winning easily from a large field of contestants. West finished second with twenty-five. Other Twin City schools in class “Tv trailed along with a dozen or less points each. Next week, the t niversity Meet was held. The competition was keener inasmuch as the schools from Duluth were entered into the same class with those of the Twin Cities. The schools from other parts of the state constituted a class by themselves. Coach Zavodsky Paye Ow Hundred Three Timnui. Skalijh'd, Finw. V. Welch. Crocker, Thomas K. %'ucii. SnajMM. Hoad, Ml.

No stranger in the crowd could doidtl ’twas Casey at the bat !” THE 1924 baseball season at West brought out a new schedule of eight games with four of the six other high schools. West did not meet East or Roosevelt. Two games a week were played and a few bad rainy days caused a crowding of games tow’ard the end of the season. The high schools all played a good brand of ball all season, but the Edison team wras in a class by itself, and we are glad to concede this to our opponents. They won the city championship with seven wins and one loss. Two of West's players were given positions on the all-city teams. Arnold, who led the high school players in batting at third, and Pelton in left field. Other players at West who did not make positions, nevertheless did good work. West’s team was not a success as far as games won and lost was concerned, but it played a good game and met the leading teams in the city. We lost four and won three, which was not inspiring, although it was not so poor either. South was defeated twice by the score of 8-2 as a result of good pitching by Peck and the hitting of the team. Edison, with its strong clouters, put us back twice Cait. Thomas with the big scores of 11-3 and 21-5. Central lost to Faye Oiu- Hundred Four Hoar, Thomas and Westbekc--Vetera ns West in a great pitchers’ battle between Finn and Evans with Finn having the edge of it throughout. The second Central game was never played, as it rained twice. North won the two last games of the season during the last week of school when West was minus its only catcher, Westberg, who was ill. Most of the team disrupted with graduation, leaving scarcely any veterans. West lost heavily through graduation as both pitchers Finn and Peck. Davidson on second, Chamberlain on short, and Pelton and Stevens in the outfield, played their last game and Captain Arnold has left school. The 1925 season docs not look very promising with only one letter man back, but you never can tell. Certain dark horses may come prancing in. Let us hope they do not prove to be Caseys. The team consisted of Westberg and Skalrud, catchers; Peck. Finn. Crocker, and Nye, pitchers; Thomas, first; Davidson, second; Chamberlain, short; Captain Arnold, third; Pelton, Stevens, Welch, Turner, and Reibe in the outfield. If West High wants to do something big in baseball (that royal old sport which has cheered the hearts of thousands in its time) it must have a big bunch of boys twirling the ball and developing a kinky set of curoes as difficult to decipher as a Greek cross word puzzle in a Hottentot school. Baseball can not be played in a parlor nor beside a warm radiator. If you want to adorn a baseball cap, you must use what lies directly beneath the cap. Come on. West! Let’s go!

And patience all the passion of great hearts'' THE West basketball second team bad a fairly successful season this winter. Under the tutelage of Coach Royal P. Guetzloe, the scrubs won five games and lost six. The second team is a comparatively recent institution. Until last year, there has always been a freshman team which had its own schedule and provided the first team with scrimmage practice. Last year it was thought advisable to have a second squad which would give sophomores and juniors, as wel as freshmen, an opportunity to obtain experience for future years. The team journeyed to Roosevelt for the first encounter of the season with the Teddie seconds, and won handily by the score of 36-18. In the two succeeding contests, the Westerners easily defeated the North seconds and the University High aggregation on the West floor. Following these victories, the Green and White struck a slump, dropping five games in a row, three by close scores. Dunwoody. Edison second team, De La Salle, Minnesota College, and the Gophers were the quints that turned the trick. The latter is a team composed of West students who have won the Y. M. C. A. championship two years in a row. West won two out of the last three games, beating Roosevelt for the second time by the score of 29-19, and swamping the Bethlehem five 35-12. Much praise is due Coach Guetzloe for his fine coaching during the season. Besides his duties with the scrubs, Mr. Guetzloe has done notable work in aiding the first squad to get into shape for their contests. Pane One Hundred Six It ■ . tin it it.

I.ARAON. l'AUf. lllNOIAWN SECOND FOOTBALL TEAM “When Greeks joined Greeks— Then was the tug of war.'’ THE West second football team proved a huge success during the current season. They did not sustain a single defeat during the entire season, having only one scoreless tie with South, which marred an otherwise perfect record. As Coach Guetzloe’s charges gained confidence and experience, they gradually developed into a smooth working combination. This fact is plainly indicated by the score?, which are as follows: South - 0 West - - 0 Ellison 0 West - 7 North • 13 West • - 20 South 6 West - - 18 Roosevelt • 0 West -North - - 21 - 0 Minn. College West - - 25 13 West - - 46 The second team play was characterized by hard driving power and the never-sav-die spirit. There were twenty-six members on the squad. No regular team or lineup was used because every individual was frequently sent into the game. The purpose of this frequent change of line was to give everyone a chance to gain the experience that he will need in securing a position on the Green and White next fall. The West seconds met formidable opponents during the past season. Many promising recruits were developed by Coach Guet .loe for future West teams. When the second squad started practice last fall, it consisted of a group of fellows who knew little about the rudiments of football. However, through hard work on the part of the players, and through the individual efforts of Coach Guctzloe. the squad developed into a well organized and instructed team.

Swifter than arrow from Tartar's how! THE cross-country season of 1924 was, in some respects, rather outstanding. Had it not been for the spirit which never say die. even when the odds are heavily against a team, the cross-country team could never have withstood its season with anything like the sportsmanship that it did this fall. Had a trophy been awarded to cross-country for sportsmanship, most certainly West’s cross-country team would have won it. With only fifteen men reporting for practice and less than that number entered in practically every meet, it is no small wonder that West suffered six defeats in seven starts. But the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. In spite of the fact that the cross-country team was next to the bottom in the standings when compared with the various other high schools, the season was a success in more ways than one. Certainly every man on the team felt that sentiment through and through. With only one letter man graduating this year, the cross-country team of 1925 will have as a nucleus fully twelve veterans. There ought to be enough enthusiasm at West next year to make a decided rally to the banner of cross-country work. With the team working hard to get fifty men out next fall—as it is resolved to do—West will surely be well represented if the student body responds. All the success we have had and all the fighting spirit we developed last fall arc due to the efforts of one man. All the success we hope to have in cross-country next fall we owe to our coach.

Jewett TENNIS “Good form in tennis must be icon; ’Turns ne’er entailed from son to son.” THE tennis team of 1921 had a very successful year. Although the team did not win the championship, it finished quite high in the standings, winning from all the schools except North. The match this year with Central was exceedingly interesting, our team winning three matches to two. When the season ended. West, Central, and North were in a tie for first place. In the play-off. North defeated West three matches to two. Our team put up a good battle and North had to put forth all of her energy to win. In the final match of the year, Central nosed out North in a very interesting battle. A successful tennis team must have men with some ability, but the most important thing is to have men that are willing to come out and practice. No matter how much ability a tennis player may have, he will never get any place without practicing. The members of the team are selected by an elimination tournament that is held every spring and fall. The team carries six players, one of them being a spare, and in every match enters three teams of singles and two teams of doubles. The members of last year’s team were Charles Grecnleaf, Clifford Jewett, Arthur Brown, William lleydrick, and Gilbert Crandall. The tennis team of the coming year will have fine veterans, and should have a very successful year. The team is fortunate in having Mr. Duell for a coach. He is a very able coach, and has greatly aided the team. It may interest our readers to know that all of the matches were played at Powderhorn and the Parade Grounds. Come out for tennis and get a healthy complexion for your pains. I’ngt Onr Hundred Sine I H Harlot, Graham, ii.uamwo. Horart, IIhko, Mr. Norton, Johnron, Biuci . Cox km. Stkonc March, Leahy. I’rimt.

ON December 17, we met the alumni team and were defeated by them 40-27. Then after two weeks hard practice, we won two practice meets, defeating East Side Baths, 39-29, ami the University High, 45-23. Our first regularly scheduled meet came on January 29 with Edison High. This was Edison’s first season, so our easy victory of 54-14 was according to “dope.” The meet with Minneapolis Central on February 11 was our first hard meet. It was a thriller from start to finish. After the last event, the score stood 34-34, but West was awarded the meet by virtue oi having won the relay. On February 17 we defeated St. Paul 56-12, and on February 19 wo defeated University High 32-27. On February 25, we again defeated Minneapolis Central by a score of 41-27. This victory gave West High the city championship. In the Northwest Meet, West made a strong bid for first place, but Shat-tuck won the meet with 30 points. West was second with 26. and Minneapolis Central third with 17. We entered the State High School Meet, handicapped by the loss of our two back-strokcrs because of illness, and two of our plungers because of ineligibility. Virginia, with a well-rounded team, won the state championship with 34 points, West taking second with 29 points, and Mechanic Arts of St. Paul and Eveleth High tieing for third with 9 points each.

So� f.n on GOLF “Hut on and up, where Nature's heart Heats strong amid the hills.” MORE than forty candidates reported for golf last fall showing that interest in this sport at West compares favorably with that shown in other sports. A qualifying round of thirty-six holes was played. The sixteen low scores were taken, and the draws made for an elimination tourney. The four men reaching the semi-finals were selected to represent West in the interscholastic competition. Of the five matches played. West succeeded in winning hut one, that with Marshall. However, the other matches were lost by only a few strokes which indicates the team was right up in the running. The entire team is back again this spring; and with other candidates who made formidable showing last fall, West should be right at the top as the other schools are handicapped by graduation. We would like to quote from a most interesting article in the Literary Digest: “A purely frivolous game could never have originated among the Scotch.’' So you who think golf is a young ladies’ affair had better just listen to this: “Among all the contributions this hardy people has made to the world, there is nothing to suggest softness or frivolity. One is not surprised, consequently, that the one great game for which the Scotch people are responsible should be the only game which has a moral purpose and is definitely tinged with a touch of the spiritual. There are other games which minister to the well-being of a man by developing the physical and disciplining the mental. But for ministering to the real good of a man’s soul these other sports arive at what results they do achieve in this field rather indirectly than directly. With the game of golf it is different. It is the one game with the spiritual residing in it. It is a means of grace.” Page One Hundred Kleven tel I m H i‘, 1 4 O v Ox, Rayful Trick Stuff Louie and the gang— w Snowbound Oh, my!

Faye One Hundred Twelve LETTER MEN Chamberlain Although West had a rather tough season, “Bud” did his part to help, and he can be given a great deal of credit for his hard fighting. He played a steady game and showed lots of grit. He also handles a basketball and baseball with enough skill to suit most anybody. His graduation is a ease of gone but not forgotten. Frost Has “Justie” got fight? We’ll say so. He s small—but oh my! For two years he spent the football season with the second squad, but this year lie worked with “RoxieY’ first stringers and showed more fight than you’d think even an Irishman had. Every time he got a chance to play he was there with everything he had and he sure didn't care what he stepped on. Glassberc Here’s one of the original fighting fools. His hair’s red. he’s husky, lie’s big and boy. when he gets everything working! “Irv” was the center of attraction last fall. The team was built around him. He started out for guard, but when he showed what ability he had as a center. he was changed, and turned out to be one of the best centers in the city. LaBelle Do you know this fellow? If you don’t you should, lies one of tin- scrappiest guys this side of the gulf. The way he handles himself isn’t slow. “Butch showed him how to fight and he never forgot it. He’s a hard worker and is ready for anything. Dick also played a good game of hockey on Bradley’s icc squad.

Herman docs his stuff on the basketball floor as well as on the football field. He’s a tough opponent for any man and he plays a clean hard game. Herman first came into prominence as a football player last year and has played steadily ever since. Odell Well, look what blossomed out with a “YV.” YVe guess he earned it, though. He has worked hard for three years and had more tough luck than was absolutely necessary. His first two years were spent with the second squad but he spent his last year with the regulars. He was handicapped with a bad knee and a bad head (take it either way) this year, but managed to earn a letter. R. Welch Here's a fellow with plenty of fight. Roland worked hard for three years to earn his letter in football and he certainly deserves everything he got. He is the kind that gets what he starts after. He won the part of the negro. Genesis, in the June class play, and if lie does as well in the play as he did in athletics, he ought to bring down the house. V. Welch This is the brother to the other Welch. That doesn’t entirely identify him. however. He's one of the fastest men on the floor squad. He’s light but you’d ought to see him go. Y,’crnon has worked hard ever since lie was a freshman to make a letter in basketball, and it was by hard work and skill in playing that brought him his letter this year. He also plays a good game of baseball. Page One Hundred Fourteen LETTER MEN Jacobson “Jake can easily be classed with the hardest fighting floormen we have ever had. He played his own position and then some. His clean sportsmanship and hard fighting has gained him a place of high estimation among his team mates. His good heartedness and big smile have gained him great favor among his schoolmates. We have nothing to kick about except that he's leaving us. GASKILL This was a real season for “Bob.” Although he did not play all the time, he did enough to show the school that he could play hockey and play it right. He showed wonderful ability in skating and handling a puck. No one was ever disappointed when he went into the game. Coach Bradley will lose a good man in Caskill. March Sam has won a letter in swimming as well as hockey. He worked hard and easily earned his letter. Although he was not entered in every event he showed up well when he did get a chance and gave every ounce of energy that he had. Sam is a good fellow as well as a good athlete and everyone likes him. Mattson In “Bud” we find a type of athlete that’s hard .o heat. He’s a leader among the fellows and captain of the track team. He throws a mean shot and discus and can lift his 190 pounds over a high jump bar with little difficulty. “Bud” played football last fall but had to quit because of a bad knee. This has been a handicap to him, but regardless of it he certainly does his stuff. Page One Hundred Fifteen LETTER MEN Priest “Judas” might be considered the handy man around the house. As far as swimming is considered, lie was right there. When -a man was missing and a fellow was needed, he was “Johnny on the spot. He swam a good race at nil times and won much favor from his mates. He was a consistent point winner. a good sport, and a good kid. Crocker Neal surely deserves honor if anybody docs. He first came into prominence as a 9tar tank man last year. This year he is carrying off much of the honor given to our championship swimming team, lie was a tough opponent for anyone who raced with him. He was a good sport and took a defeat as well as a victory. He was a high point winner in practically every meet this season. Jacobs For a hard fighter and a good trainer there is no one better than “Sam. He was one of the best athletes on Coach Zavodsky’s track squad. His hurdling and dash work brought many points for the Green and White. His former experience gave him training sufficient to make him one of the fastest and most skillful hurdle men in the city. F.very-body thinks a lot of Sam Jacobs. Robb Joe was a fast man. Although he did not always come out at the lead, lie was generally good for a few points which all count up to win a meet. It is not the stars that make a track team, hut it is the consistent point winners and Joe is considered as one of these. Joseph certainly works hard and we appreciate it. I’mjf One Hundred Sixteen LETTER MEN Weiss Jack’s a good swimmer from way back. He’s very good and especially in the breast stroke. He could give any breast stroke man in the state a good run for his money. Jack has always been a good sport and we’ll have to hand it to him. He certainly knows how to paddle along. He was always to be counted on for a second or third if he did not cop a first. Jack will always be remembered for his work. Strong For his first real year at swimming. Harlan showed up well. He started out big right away. He kept on working hard all the season. He was reliable and showed up well at practice. He was the kind that is “small but oh, my. When he starts down the tank, just watch out. The only thing that we regret about this fellow is that he did not come out three years ago. Wkstberg “ClifT” played a wonderful game of baseball last spring and well deserves his letters. He went strong from the first and was a great help to his leant mates. His skillful handling of the sphere distinguished him as a first class member of the squad. He is one of the many letter men that has left us for next year, and we’re all sorry to see him go.

The unconventional has become the conventional, and women have proved that they are fully capable of taking an equal rank with man. Athletics for women, once forbidden as unladylike, have today become an established institution, with girls taking part in nearly every branch of athletics, holding inter-school competitions, and proving themselves true athletes.. Girls’ athletics are making possible an all-around woman and fitting her for a normal life. - --------------------------------------------— L ---------------------- Page One Hundred X incite n CmrriTH, KottMvniN, Knicmt .

And prouder still the loftier they uplifted me. «np HE West Aquarians,” a swimming club, was formed last fall by the girls interested in that sport. Charlotte Vend I was elected president; Margaret Eliason was elected vice-president; and Harriet Altton was appointed secretary and treasurer. It was decided that any girl who was a member of the G. A. A. was eligible for membership and could enjoy all the privileges offered by the club. “The West Aquarians” has two classes of swimmers, the experienced and the beginners. A special class for the beginners is held every Tuesday. In this class they are taught the requirements of the first test. The group of old swimmers are instructed in the difficult strokes and in the essentials of life saving. Swimming is the only all-ycar-around sport on the G. A. A. schedule, but special effort is made to concentrate attention on it during the winter months when the meet is held. Besides the meet, tryouts are held the first Monday of every month. The first one hundred points in swimming are earned by doing different standard strokes and dives in perfect form. Extra points are added for fancy diving and strokes. The second hundred points are won by passing a life saving test. The requirements of the test are as follows: respiration, breaking drowning hold, three standard carries, undressing in deep water, and retrieving object in deep water. The girls who have excelled in swimming and who have successfully passed the second test are Virginia Griffith. Margaret Eliason. Betty Bro-man, Marian Kent, and Isabelle Kosenstein. Much credit should be given to each, as it certainly takes nerve and force to win honors in swimming. r tf e One Hundred Tirenty I’ktkbmn, Cmrririi, Davimok Smyou, Mi� � Cunx . Mu� l-ooit. Ilomm GIRLS’ VOLLEY BALL “Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate” THK championship of the 1921 volleyball season was captured by the Senior team, which was victorious in five games out of six. The Junior team placed second with four games to their credit. The Seniors won the title in spite of two handicaps, the lack of the right number of players, and their record for being a losing team during their first three years of playing. The first game of the season, between the Seniors and Freshmen, was a close victory for the Seniors by a score of 16-14. The score was a tie 14-14 until the last moment, when the final serve was made by the Seniors. The next game was a 15-14 score for the Sophomores when they defeated the Juniors. The Sophomore-Freshman was a walk-a-way for the Sophomores with a score 15-1 to their credit. The decisive game of the tournan ent was the second encounter between the Senior and Sophomore teams. The loss of the game would have meant a triple tie between the Sophomores. Juniors, and Seniors. The Seniors suffered only one defeat at the hands of the Juniors, the score being 24-23. In the last game of the season the Frosh were defeated by the Sophomores 34-28. After the school tournament, the picked star volleyball team challenged the North star team. The first game was a complete victory for West, but North, surging ahead in the next two games, finally won. After the contest, refreshments were served, and the girls danced. The gym was trimmed in blue and white, and green and white, the two school colors. Girls of West High are invited to come out for volleyball. t'aye One Hundred Tirenty unc Aasj? .(M UnU lX, BtNMKIK, FtMUJN. CwmoBTW GIRLS’ TRACK “There's language in her eye. her cheek. ier tp, ;Vay, � er oo speaks THE girl athletes, who are aspiring for track honors, work hard in the girls’ gymnasium at the same time that the hoys are racing and hurdling in the halls of West. The girls go home in the late afternoon with aching muscles, sore and tired bodies, hut they come back the next day just as enthusiastic as the first time when they started. They go into each event with earnest efforts to gain good form and speed as soon as possible. After several weeks of practice, the big day arrives ami every one tries to win places in the various events of the meet and to do honor to West High. The honors of last years' track meet were carried off by Eldora Kickcy and Katherine Cudworth. Eldora was high point winner, placing first in three events and third in one. Katherine, who earned ten points, was runner-up in the meet. The three other girls placing were Margaret Farwell and Lillian Franklin, both of whom won eight points, atid Ruth Benjamin, who won four. Henceforth, track is not to he carried on as a minor sport hut as a major sport. Instead of individual competition there will be a track team for each class. Under this new system more girls will be given a chance to earn points, and class spirit and team work will be developed. Hurdling will he introduced as one of the big events of the meet and track practice will be held outside instead of in the gymnasium. Girls’ track is a sport of diversified interest. No matter what skill you may possess, no matter what degree of ability, and no matter what year you may be—there are waiting for you, in track, opportunities of absorbing interest. Turn out for track next year. West needs track girls as skillful as it needs track men. Faffe One Hunlred Tirenty two Swick, Pticn.. CuDvroani GIRLS' BASEBALL “To be strong Is to be happy! AS in ail athletics, girls or boys, the main object is to get as many as possible interested in activities in the gymnasium. This interest promotes health and good sportsmanship, and is emphasized through the four years of high school. Team work was not thought necessary for girls in the past, but now we realize that it is just as important for girls to learn to pull together as it is for boys. Toward this end, interest in baseball as an interclass sport is fostered. The Seniors won the 1924 tournament after a hard fight with the Sophomores. At the end of the fifth and final inning the score was tied; one more inning was played; the Seniors won by one point. Alternating between pitcher and catcher, Margaret Farwcll, captain of the Senior team, showed exceptional ability. AH through the tournament her pitching was outstanding. In one instance she struck out twelve successive players in four innings. Starting as Freshmen, this same team won the baseball championship all four years of their high school course. From the last place on the tournament in their Freshman year, the Sophomores, captained by Ruth Benjamin, jumped to second place over the Juniors in their Sophomore year, giving the Seniors a hard run for first place in the tournament. Although no one player starred, it was the team with its strong teamwork which so nearly upset the high record held by the Seniors. We hope in the future to be able to play outdoors. At the present the low gymnasium and no available outdoor space is a great handicap to the games. Poor One Hundred Ticenly three McLavchun. Dmumuc, Smusc. lt� Ai� rcAi . Urru, Andcrbom. L.

My kingdom for a horse! IjN order to meet the ever increasing demand for riding as a regular girls' sport in which numerals might be gained, the West Riding Club has been organized during the past year under the supervision of Miss Mary Cutler. This is a new and novel means of creating vitality in girls’ athletics. It is the only one of its kind in the city high schools and as there are numerous bridle paths around the beautiful lakes and shady parks near West, it is a sport especially well adapted to the school. Any girl who is interested in riding is eligible for membership to the club. As special rates for horses have been offered to members of the club, the expense has been reduced to the minimum. A separate group has been formed by the beginning riders who receive special attention and who are taught the first essentials of riding. The class of advanced riders under the supervision of a groom practice hurdling and the more difficult gaits. Under the regulations made by the G. A. A., members of the riding club may earn two hundred points toward a “W” or a loving cup. The first hundred points are awarded for the rider who shows good form and ability in exhibiting a horse in three gaits—walk, trot, and canter. A girl who is able to hurdle a three foot barrier and to display a five gaited horse is able to win one hundred additional points. When one considers the practical value of good horsemanship with its creation of skill and poise, and when one remembers the romantic charm of the character of the horseman (or should it be horsewoman) in the days when knights were bold and gay. is it any wonder that riding is rapidly becoming a sport of exceptional allure here at West.

However, Bernice Davidson, holder of the championship title for both the school and city in 1923, challenged Helen to a tell-tale match and won after two hardly contested sets. The games of the first set piled up in Helen’s favor, but “Bunny” caught up and soared ahead in the final run of the set; her superior experience coming into play. West was represented in the city tournament by Helen Dwan, Betty Darby, and Dorothy Bennett. The two latter were defeated early in the tournament but Helen reached the finals before she lost out. She was defeated by Helen Hardenberg of North High, who won the city high school championship for the 1924 year. The winner of the fall practice tournament was Ruth Snyder, who, in the finals, defeated Betty Darby in two out of three evenly matched sets. A tennis club was duly organized by the participants in the semi-finals of the fall tournament. Helen Dwan was elected president; Betty Darby, secretary-treasurer: and Miss Katherine Loos, faculty adviser. The aim of the club is to foster and promote interest in tennis. In carrying out this ideal, the members of the club have assumed supervision of the beginning tennis players group. The beginners class, which is open to anyone who has never played tennis, is instructed in the form and technic of tennis playing, as well as in the actual playing of it. To develop and to perfect their own games, the club members have practiced in the gymnasium during the winter. Girls at West should develop more interest in tennis.

The incrusted surface shall upbear thy steps! JUST skating is interesting, but real hockey is thrilling. Just fancy, girls playing lux-key! A great many schools in northern states have established girls’ hockey teams. This idea is and will continue to be our aim in skating. Handicapped by long cold winters, much of our athletics must necessarily be held indoors; therefore indoor hockey would be a more valuable sport for girls. One hundred and ten points in skating may be won for plain skating, including: skating forward and backward, sculling forward and backward, cutting ice forward and backward, and heel turn backward and forward. Additional points may be won in figure skating or in individual stunts. In order to gain efficiency as well as to gel outdoor exercise, six afternoons are required before the tryouts. Each girl must skate in good form the required distance before competent judges. An early season saw skating starting on the heels of the volleyball tournament. More than thirty girls turned out for the six afternoons of practice at Lake of the Isles. Although the ice was exceptionally good, the extreme cold weather hindered the practice considerably before Christmas. Intending to have the tryouts the last of January, we were forced, by the warm weather, to hold them at the Arena, an indoor rink, several weeks later. Dale Whittemore and Virginia Tilfer showed up exceptionally well with one hundred twenty points each, followed by Eunice Garrigncs with one hundred points. Owing to confusion of practices and date of tryouts, a second tournament was held indoors at the Arena about the middle of March. Page, One Hundred Ticenty-rix DniNcrr, McDonnBA. Cornux.

Panic, jmmkrman, Coixjn GIRLS' HIKING “Lovely in deed, the mimic works of art, Bid Nature's works are far lovelier.” ALL of the lovely roads and trails not too far front West High have been tramped over by long healthy lines of hikers bound for several different points around the outskirts of South Minneapolis. The first hike toward a girls’ fifty points is a three mile walk around Lake of the Isles. This hike must be successfully accomplished. Next comes a five mile hike around Lake Calhoun, which must also be traversed. Third, there are six mile hikes on various other oads leading south on to Lake Minnetonka. Four of these must be taken. At the beginning of each of these hikes, the girls, who plan to take them, give their names to Miss Loose. Again they do this at the half-way point, and for a third time, they give their names when they get back to school. Since hiking is strenuous work, demanding endurance, most of the girls who go out for biking bring old comfortable clothes, good walking shoes, and slouch hats, so as to be less tired on some of the longer hikes. One hike was taken last fall to the G. A. A. party at the Minnehaha Tourist Camp, where the girls cooked their own supper outdoors over roaring fires, and where they told stories and sang songs to the accompaniment of a piano and several “ukes.” All in all, the occasion was a pleasant one to remember. When the hikes are over, the girls all agree that there can be no way to win a numeral that is so pleasant or so beneficial both physically and spiritually as taking to the open road with hikers. The combination of a cheerful mind, a sturdy body, and cheerful companions cannot be equaled as a recipe for happiness.

Ada is, in fact, a good all around athlete, for she is a point winner in baseball, volleyball, and track, as well as in hiking and swimming. Helen Swain Helen won the coveted felt mainly through her merits as a baseball player and also as a volleyball player.

My dear Editor: It is my contention that extra-curricular activity such as athletics should he curbed if not prohibited. I cannot see how students have time for such things. This is my program. Every afternoon I study my Virgil. Chemistry and English. In the evening my Civics and French, and the preparation of these subjects completely absorbs my spare time. Moreover, I think it a very wise schedule. How then any Other student would neglect his work to the extent necessary for participation in extra-curricular activities. I cannot see. I for one, do not approve of it. Alton Harvey. Great Woman Editorial Writer Writes Especially for the Hesperian on Goon Manners Manners s good sence n cvry scnce ’o the word. Therefore taint good manners t’ sass a teacher back when y think y aught t’ get a C and she gives y’ a D. Cause from my ’xper light, that taint no use arguin’ with ’em. Just give ’em their way graciously, an’ sey fr instance. “Well. I'll get a C sure next time, for I’m goin’ t’ work hard fer one.’’ That’ll flatter ’em and mak ’em feel good, and y sec if that teacher don’t giv’ v’ a C with a gold star an’ a hunch o’ carnations next time the cards com’ out. That’s manners cause it’s good sence. Not her thing. When y’er at a basketball game and the spectators ’r crowded in the bleachers like a hunch a newsies at a free theatre parly and yer sec yer teacher file in th’ door, brethren and sistems all. if a 100% clear call of “Here sa seat. Miss Oakcntub,” echoes thru the hall from your tonsils, you’ll sur’ get a beautiful little mark consisting of a 1 and two well-formed, fine looking, oval-shaped 0’s against your name in the courtesy column of the little sheets the teachers make out. And then if you ever want t’ get a job somcwhercs and they look yer up and find 100 against your courtesy, you’ll sure get th’ job, and believe me Ezekinl, Mordccai.

There’s a big blowout on that night at the Whiskers and Fur. We didn’t have a spare tire so we just had to walk. Well, when we come in they was a big game of dominoes deluxe going on. But we hadn’t any life insurance, so we couldn’t use our own cuboids. Shortly—about $3.00—we drifted over to the Washington poker game. This pastime of hide and seek was very exciting, but ours was all hide ond no seek, loiter—about three hours and all our possessions—we barrelled out. Three blocks afterward wc met two well-dressed gentlemen, ami then they barrelled on. Belter to have lost and met. than never to have met at all. Atom and me. feeling pretty gay in our new rags, ambulated over to see the Fur Fly dance at the Mouse Trap. Atom met two ribs he knew, and we had to feed 'em some groceries. We went to Kiddies. Atom ordered rodent steak and tea. They sent us rodent steak ami nitro-glycerine. It wasn’t half an hour before every cat in sight was playing a fiddle, and you could hardly see the moon for the cows jumping over it. Then I put on my hat and the nitro-glistening must have gone to my head cause the impact of cloth on ivory set off the soup” and blew my head to atoms. But Atom didn't want it. so he gave it back to me. Nells bells, there’s three big dogs out in the yard. I’ll have to go out and beat ’em up. Meow till manana. r | 4-V 'v 1 r’v'v!

They are a strong bunch, but we are all gentlemen, and as such we intend to meet them. Actual interview: ‘'I’ll say we'll beat those crooks!! They are a dirty bunch of cut-throats, but we know their game, and say. we’re out to clean on 'em. even if we pass out in doing it. And speaking about athletics we might discuss the status of the recently formed hookey tram. The hookey season as a whole has been very successful. Although handicapped somewhat by the loss of Riedhcad, the team made a fine showing, and finished second. It took the Office Force to beat them. For the benefit of those not experienced in the game, we will explain a few of the general rules. (1 The game is played by either sex. individually or together. I like to play it individually. The other way is likd by most people. (Correct this sentence in the light of the rules for parallel structure which you have learned in your dear English class.) The rules of the game are those that go with catch-as-catch-can wrestling, only in this case, the third one makes the other two run. In case cards are used, queens arc essential. The starting point is Shebat’s. i Personnel of the team as follows: Ted Fry Ruth Snyder Margaret Laird Young Conway Ann Nicolai F.loanor Romhild John Priest Desmond Pratt (.eonnrd Odell Eleanor Gage Bessie............... Barton Kerstettcr T. P. Gruwell. Coach And allow us to present History as It Might l aie Been. Hold on! Let the ladies see too. Mr. Chandler. Keep your seat, it’s only the wild man. Nathan Hale Heinz: “I regret that I have but 57 varieties to give to my country. Julius Caesar Lysterine: That was the most unkindest cut of all. hut only a child will tell.” Admiral Nelson Postum: “Don’t give up the ship, boys, there’s a reason.” Howard Payne Packard: “Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home. Ask the man who owns one.” Abraham Lincoln La Palina: “With malice toward none, let us strive to heal the nation's wounds, two for 15 cents.” Proving, ladies and gentlemen, that a rolling stone is worth two in the bush.

Dear Ren: One thing I wish you’d do for me. Ben. is to tell me how in the dickens you ever trained ‘Teddy,” that big dog who acts with you. to do the stunts he does. Honest. Ben. that mutt ain’t only human— he’s more than human sometimes! But the reason I’m hankering to know how you trained “Teddy” is that 1 spent about three hours yesterday afternoon trying to teach a few simple tricks to a dog of mine, but the mutt proved to be even more simple than the tricks were, and I had about as much success in my efforts as a disarmament advocate would at an Irish picnic. Inasmuch as the pup wasn’t good for anvthing on the face of the earth, being mortally afraid of rabbits and downright affectionate toward tramps. I tried to make a doe-actor out of “Vacuum. but there was nothing doing. The reason I called the dog “Vacuum. is because Nature is said to hate a vacuum and. judging from the looks of the finished product, she sure must of hated that pup when she was making him. He had a little bit of every breed, known, unknown and guessed-at. in him from Tasmanian tea poodle to Silierian elephant hound! He had a voice like a melancholy banshee trying to yodel, and was the possessor of an anatomy that run mostly to face, ears and tail. Well, anyway, I took him out in the backyard and tried to make a “Canine Thespian” out of him, as the Sporting Editor of the Transatlantic Monthly would say. I thought IM start him off with some- thing kinda easy, so I tried to teach him to shake hands. But he must have misunderstood me or something, because he immediately very’ intelligently flopped over on his back and began “playing dead. Then I got mad at last, and threw him down, telling him I was either going to make him “play dead or commit a canine murder in the attempt. Just as I was ready to park a knee among his short ribs, my wife’s cousin Iglasial. who stays with us, arrived on the scene of action. Iglasial is a kind of lanky hombre with a face that for general intelligence would make the visage of a fish look like Buddha, and it is a general impression among the neighbors that to refer to the yap as being half-witted is to pay him an outright compliment. Just about then Vacuum finally succeeded in parking his teeth in the hold for which he'd been working for the last five minutes, and some thirty seconds later I departed hastily for the house in quest of a new pair of trousers. When 1 got back again. 1 was met with Iglasial wearing a kind of a satisfied sort of a grin. “Look here. he said. “Yuli didn’t go at it right.” I looked to where he pointed and. sure enough, there was Vacuum laying on the ground, “playing dead as nice as you please. How did you do it? I asked skeptically. “Easiest think in the world,” answered Iglasial complacently. “I just hit the brute in the head with an axe. Sincere'v and truly. Oripiah Y. RfCCt.ES.

FINAL PERFORMANCE A company that has been running here for the last four years is making its farewell performance on Friday. June 12, in the play that has made it famous. “Hot Air for Two With Fry Caskii.i. Coming Soon The Greatest Play for the Year “ VACATION” Starting, Friday, June 12. I'm sure you won't want to miss it! Now that Coolidgc has been safely inaugurated, and the rest of our section done. and the danger of an invasion from the editor thwarted, we take pleasure in presenting the 1925 Progressive Hesperian Feature Stuff Platform. It is made up of 18 planks with no knots in them. It reads as follows: 1. We believe T. P. Cruwell to be the tool of big business. 2. We pledge to give Miss Orton one box of colored chalk per week for every work- ing week from September to June. 3. We recommend that Mr. Chandler be supplied with plenty of hat-pins. 4. We suggest for Miss Leet. head librarian, to read. “How to be a Better Detective’’ (with special suggesions for school teachers). 5. We recommend Busier Brown clothes for Mr. Kichardson’s boy. 6. We suggest How to be an Orator” for Mr. Bradley. 7. We suggest a new curtain for the auditorium. 8. We demand use of “the only organ in any high school” (seriously). 9. We suggest that Mr. Slifer. Chemistry lecturer, rather than waste his vast knowledge of psychology on his poor, innocent, unsuspecting pupils, publish a book. “What I Mean When I Say the Bight ttitude of Mind, thus giving his genius to he world. 10. We believe that the school aught to subscribe to “Gdlege Humor” for Elizabeth P. • Publius. I guess I Fairfield for the benefit of ber classes. Ask the kid that’s in one. 11. We believe that 404 is an insult to the honor, and conscientiousness, and studious-ness of our students. 12. We believe that Leroy Jacobsen aught to be awarded the N'obel Prize of 40.000 rubels for excellency of bluffing. 13. We believe Gordon Hoar to be our future Valedictorian and as such to be distributing his brains successfully. 14. We regret that we arc unable to find any resemblance between an elephant and a piano, refuting the statement of him who claims that the reason is that there is a b in both. 15. We believe that Art Goldberg is a politician, and gets his good marks from his good looks. 16. We believe that Mr. Kichardson is too great a poet to remain an ordinary school teacher. 17. We believe that Alton Harvey is a slicker in every sense of the word. 18. And finally we join Harold Burton, our dear Editor, in the pledge, “never again. And in the words of the Republican Parly in November of 1920, “We’re going back to normalcy.” We wish all you fellow-sufferers and torturers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and if we had time enough we would send a valentine to each and every one of you.

If we asked you offhand to name the oldest institution of higher learning in Minnesota—could you do it? Then let the Hesperian Hoard tell you now that it is Hamline University. Consequently Hamline possesses all the traditions which make for solidarity, in addition to the progressive ideals which characterize this annual. Hamline stands for giving its students that efficient background and training which arc so essential to the success of our leaders. Before you turn the focus of your attention to the great colleges of the East, realize that among the many colleges of Minnesota, none stands for better aims and ideals, none gives its graduates better preparation for meeting the problems of life—than does Hamline University. Two of the best men teachers at West High are sons of Hamline and proud of it. Macalester College Snelling and Grand Aves. ST. PAUL PUPILS and readers of this article! You have all heard the story of the wise Persian who traveled in search of the four-leaf clover. He became an old man who returned to his own door step sad in heart and weary in spirit. And lo! What did he find? The four-leaf clover right at his own door. . . . Such is life! Right at our own door we have a college remarkable for its maintenance of high standards of scholarship, worthy ideals of character, and close personal contact with its students. Why journey to realms afar? Why incur needless expense? Macalester College possesses many features which no other college has. Quality speaks for itself. Carleton College NORTH FIELD, MINNESOTA PARENTS and seniors of the West District! Do you want to receive all the cultural benefits of a college education away from home, and yet near enough to the Twin Cities to reduce the expense without sacrificing one advantage? Do you want to secure individual attention which is so often ignored in larger institutions? The record of Carleton needs no special mention—your sons and daughters, and your brothers and sisters already know the standard set and maintained in these activities. Whether your aim is scientific or musical—artistic or cultural— Carleton College can meet this aim. Before you forget, before it is too late, sit down now and write to Carleton College, Northfield, telling your problems. Or better yet motor down. PICTURES for Home and .. School ..

RF1ER THE OREDGC HRD BEEN rORGOTTLN From Former Years Page Our Hinulml Eighlu-tix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS MANY things go into the making of a Hesperian. Not alone through the efforts of the Board and Senior Class has the hook been produced. hut through the cooperation and helpful assistance of countless other persons not connected directly with the book. It is to them we wish to oft'er our sincere thanks. Miss Wanda Orton, our faculty adviser, has given much aid in the business and editorial work and through her experience with past Hesperian stafl's, has proved invaluable. Miss Grace Whitten, art adviser, and Mrs. Mary Wallace, in charge of all the art work for the hook, proved to he our mainstays in the Art Department. Supervising the work of the artists, they have seen that we received only the finest kind of work. Special praise should he given to our art editor, Donald Cokdry. Mr. John N. Greer, principal, has kept the hook constantly before the students, arid it was largely through his efforts that such a large subscription list was obtained. Mr. Thomas P. Gri well. Miss Frances Frederick-son, and Miss Arline Blakely, were also connected with the business work of the publication. Through the columns of the WEST High Weekly, which has generously given us much publicity space, we were able to “hammer home” the necessity of subscribing, and to keep the students informed as to the progress of the hook. flie Sly-Fox Film Company loaned us the “stills from their films, which appear in tin “West Life” Section, while the Northwestern National Bank very kindly loaned us cut- which appear elsewhere in the book. The Zintsmaster Studios acted as our photographers and were most obliging, giving us decidedly satisfactory service. The Civic and Commerce Association kindly loaned us the views of Lake of the Isles. J. Kits Owrk. William Affeld and Harold Kulp took many of the “snaps” which appear in the Athletics and Feature Sections. The Bureau of Encraving did all our engraving work, which was of a uniformly high quality. To Mr. A. A. Segal of the “Bureau we are especially grateful. He helped in planning the hook, saw that we received the best of service, and gave us many helpful and original suggestions which improved the appearance of the hook greatly. Mr. B. C. Kischel and J. J. Sher also helped with our plans. Our printers, the Augsburg Publishing House, have given us work of which we are justly proud. Mr. Randolph Haucan. under whose supervision the work was carried on. took care of the printing end of the work very efficiently and gave us much help in planning the hook. In the hook we have tried to tell of the progress of West High, the Lake District, the City and the State of Minnesota, and to show the relationship among them. Whether or not we have succeeded lies in your judgment, 'but we rest our work with the knowledge that we have done our best. The hook is yours—hut the regained spirit of loyalty and cooperation is ours! Hesperian Board.

Sadness will come to us who fail to trace The dreams we dreamed so certain to succeed; The dreams ice dreamed so certain to succeed; Time’s later generations will erase The dreamer and the doer and the deed. Then let us see these tranquil hills again; Fog-laden trees, the lighted homeward street; Let us not seek our former years in vain; Let us find youth unspoiled and living sweet— For us, once more the splendor and the pain Thinking the old earth trembles at our feet.
