✓ HESPERIAN -'£ 1 FOREWORD PEEK ye first the good things of the mind and O the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt. Though countless days in high school seem a meaningless series of cancellations and futile attempts, every one would all the while believe there is something vital and worthy in him, and it is this faith that has led him on. Every member of this January class would pull himself 'out of the maelstrom of daily circumstance and see things in the light of understanding . So there are those who have seen in four years of high school more than bare necessities of physical existence. They have found Plato’s dear delight in doing those things that will give them not merely influence and leadership, but a chance to harmonize their desires and develop unknown realms of energy, conscious that they have done their best to gather the rewards of honest scholarship, unselfish service, and true dignity of leisure. The Hesperian a Record of Individual Achievement Enlivened by Group Participation in Study, Service and Skill January, 1930 T H E C L A S S THE classicism of ages past has been reinterpreted, dropping its gross artificiality and accepting in its stead a modern strength and simplicity, symbolic of character. To the members of the January class,and particularly to the twelve picked by their classmates as representing modern application of classicism is extended a place worthy of their own commendable accomplishments. lD , 7 30 .M( M V 3an.

Weeks must have been an Olympic games winner . . . or maybe he was waterboy to Ben 1 lur. A Kilborn has been found in an old feudal manuscript, one whose genealogical derivation is not connected with Script. The amazing chronicle discloses the fact that Sir Kilborn got his ancestral practice from rescuing damsels in distress. Statistics gleaned from many toiling, laborious hours in the musty volumes of forgotten lore resting in the aged dust of the office, reveal that Muirhcad and Kilborn either were not born—they just grew like Topsy— or perhaps they have dyed their hoary heads and plucked their straggly beards, ashamed to divulge the secret of their biological advancement. It is even whispered that they are Cartaphilus and Kotikokura in disguise. . . . If that be the case, then Kilborn must be a considerable artist at make-up! Witness his success in deceiving those famous masters, or rather mistresses, of that art. Barring these two of indefinite age, the genuine box-spring automatic wheelchair, (as comfortable and homely as Grandmother Brown’s four-poster), goes to one Dorothy I lolzbach. Possibly the date of her arrival. April first, some twenty years ago, has something to do with this revelation coming from the female of the species. Queen of the sixteen-year old kindergarteners is Brenda Fischer, who was given to the world within two or three days before Thanksgiving, 191.3. I ler subjects number eight, of which two are boys. Of the whole class, those who have weathered seventeen terms of Richardson, Beck and Lackerstecn equal the total of all the others. The three born in 1909, the fourteen in 1910, and the forty-four in 1911, together with the eight in 191.3, just equal half of the class. Figure it out for yourself. The diamond—not in the Edgar Wallace sense—has a very small following in the class: only ten were born in December. It is hoped that this has nothing to do with their post-school lives, as the percentage of marriages in the world is growing smaller. Snow and roses are the most popular among the caps and gowns; sixteen of them chose January, and a like number. June, in which to make their initial appearance. The devotees of the rose are luckiest when they receive pearls. It looks as if “tuxes,” in the future, must be accompanied with pearl studs in order to give the wearer a square chance. The favorites of blizzards must be satisfied with a lowly garnet, though not so unlucky at that. It is quite evident that garnets are not such purse purgers as diamonds and pearls are. Well . . . you probably stopped reading this long ago, so what is the use of writing any more. 11 1 s c H O L A R S H IN the ancient days of classicism, the learned were crowned with wreaths of laurel. In these days of modernism, knowledge still commands respect, and the laurel motif lives on in the border of the Golden Key of Scholarship.

SCHOLARSHIP About one hundred and fifty of the two thousand pupils at West are starred as honor students. Of this number twenty are members of the graduating class, and twenty-two will finish in June. Only four of the A Junior class have Key possibilities, but the B Juniors boast of thirty chances to scholarship awards. The 10 As have seventeen prospects, the 10 B’s, twenty-eight. Only six 9 A’s survived in the scholarship race of the first semester in high school, while the class that entered last September sent twenty-two from their ranks for a group picture. In the A Senior class Laura Hughes won first place by virtue of a perfect record of and is graduated with valedictory honors. Jack McBrien and Faith Anderson each have a rating of 2.96, but Jack was awarded second place because he has more credits. Faith I hies and Harold HepP tie for fourth place, both having averages of 2.90. © 122 1 NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY 11A Buck Row: Kurt . Second Row: Laxion, Hall. Front Row : Rirkc, Harrow.

At the close of each semester letters are sent to parents of prospective honor students, and this term a committee of three was named to confer with the school scholarship committee on possi- bilities of encouraging greater pride in good grades without allowing wrong ideals of preparation to creep in. A scholarship survey, based on observations over a period of six years, shows that seventy-three per cent of the failures occur in the four majors—English, languages, mathematics and history. Over half the school is enrolled in the major subjects. According to the report, three-fourths of the IOB Back Row: Klein, Bell. Gilman. Rader, Norell, AdeUheim. Kretlow, Hall, Waddington.

To remedy this condition, the scholarship committee is recommending application tests. Reports of the first two marking periods revealed a slight decrease in the number of failures except in English classes, where the 5.7 per cent of last term has risen to 6.2. Records of fails in mathematics remain at twelve per cent. History has decreased from 7.3 to seven, and languages have improved by a 9.5 per cent score as compared to the twelve per cent previously recorded. While the percent of failures declines, the number of students with honor averages increases. Each period finds about three hundred with honor grades. They are listed in the A class, the group with two A’s, two K's, or better, those with three A’s and a C, and lastly those having a B average. 9B Hark Row : Wenger. Allen. Corneliuc, John ion, Dech.

I 25 j THERE are always those few whose emotions and responses must find expression. Literature, drama, music, painting all are forms of emotional feeling, drawn from life and given to the less expressive world directly from the heart and soul of the artist. Art can not be measured, ordered or restrained by the bonds of classification,- nor can it be blended by chance, but by feeling and reason expressive of the secret life and the emotions of the human heart. fry' ’T-TT ' L THE HESPERIAN FOR JANUARY T E R A T U R E WEST HIGH WEEKLY B.ick Ron : Cronuinctatrr.

Peculiar how a person will spend half of his time in this world sleeping. . . Saw c|uitc a hit of Kilhorn and his hanker during vacation. Saw too much of the treasurer. We celebrated the coming of another year together. Goodness, how we celebrated. (Reason for much needed rest.) A rather funny incident happened to me on the night that comes before New Years. . . . Put Michael (Deutsche’s chariot) in the garage and returned for it later on in the morning. I explained to the garage owner that our party was the only four who were not polluted with New Year's cheer and then much to my embarrassment, 1 could not recognize my own car. Mr. Everest sprinkled some oil on the hall floors during vacation. Slippery gents these engineers. The Cleverness of Coppage would he a marvelous title for a short story. I am sure it would be a great seller. It is not every one who can elude the rigid rules of the school hoard and capture the presidency of the Y cabinet. However, the story should be noticeably short. I imagine that the school will not miss the noisy members of the Senior class as long as they can exhibit a B. Hawthorne or a Walter Meili. Critics will bear out my above statement. The Purple twilight and Lavendar have both left us. We know where the Purple twilight has gone, but have our doubts as to Lavendar's destination. 1 have heard that Mr. Jackson is going to pull a fast one and take his squad to Stillwater. No telling what these cagcrs will do. A blinding flash, a deafening report, the smell of smoke! . . . Another flash light picture. Save the surface and you save all. Exceedingly true statement pertaining to the weaker sex as they put on the war paint and set out to get their man. They certainly are scalpers. Another Day passes. I.et's hope he’s eligible next year anyway. Fourth hour of 302 would make a remarkable museum. At least there seem to be enough queer specimens within its portals to attract those who have eaten. As for audiences, first lunch contributes very liberally. It is most amusing I say most, perhaps almost would better display my meaning) to see hundreds of faces peer through the door windows and hands waving sandwiches at friends within. Clever students snake dance down the hall.

Moor, Hepp. SCRIPT By discussions of the works of well-known authors and criticisms of plays, prose, and poetry contributed by the members, Script has furnished an opportunity for those with literary talent. Five new members were initiated October 18. During November, members spoke on the life and works of leading writers. Leonard Thresher gave a scries of talks on the philosophy of Spinoza. Jules Moor discussed Edgar Allan Poe, anti the entire club studied Milton, Keats, and Sandburg. MODERN VERSE CHOPIN’S LIFE Slowly at first, then with a great large Flash of flame, the candle springs to life! Steadily, strongly, the flame on the wick burns on. Steadily, reluctantly, the wick with the flame burns down. At last the bright, light-giving candle is nearly To the half-way mark, yet the Flame still burns. Suddenly through the open window Comes a gust of wind— The Flame is out— —Jules L. Moor. AWAKE? Night- Dropping heavily On the world; Crushing out all Light, and Sound. And Breath of living things— 'The blackness, although seeming More unpleasant than light, Leaves a feeling of depression in the Dawning of another Day. ......Why? Jules L. Moor. SCENE Ebony trees— Fixed to their roots. Bold and bare. Bleak and cold appearing; (jiving to the snow-splattered Hill they stand upon A lost and forlorn appearance. A hill—is in a land Foreign to its whole summer environment. A place whose trees. Now in their hibernation, Shook while asleep, in Sum’rv dreams, And the leaves (those left) responding, Shook like tambors to the accompaniment Of Pan’s pipes, left beh'nd by him When he went to his winter sleep. For its melancholy aspect One could love the hill, And winter And the cold— Vet winter never loves; Winter's kiss is more a bite That shows the born traitor To the worship that man Would give a pure world. —Jules L.

ACT ONE The stage is entirely barren except for a feu.' pieces of scenery scattered at random over the stage: In the right foreground may he seen a quaint Grecian garden, U'ith sundial and fountain. The babbling of the fountain almost drowns out the noise made by the moving hands of the sundial. Overhead, a loon is singing sweetly. 'Through the dense thicket of violets and poison ivy at the left of the stage may be seen the roof of a dog house. In the immediate foreground rises a step ladder, obstructing the view of a huge, moss-covered gate in the center background. Through the bars of the gate comes a medley of sounds, denoting revelry. On the gate is a barely readable, weather beaten sign . . . T.I TEX T CLUBS. The word talent” is very faint, indeed. and the letters seem to be of a rosy hue which some claim to be a blush of shame. Voices (from the other side of the pate): Whoopee . . . what do we care . . . we’re so exclusive . . . whoopee! Gate (opening slowly): Clique . . . clique . . . clique . . . .7 group of gay youths, dressed in the characteristic garb of their respective clubs, scrambles through the open gate. They assume a dancing formation directly behind the foot lights, and sing in chorus. Chorus: Oh, we’re the talent clubs, you sec We're talented as we can be There're none so talented as we At what ? At making whoopee! .Is the song is being sung, a young girl shyly walks onto the stage, surveying the revelers with jaw agap. She wears flat-heeled, high-topped shoes, long curls, straw hat with long streamers, and black bloomers, .is the group completes the song, it traipses back through the gate. ‘The last one to enter is about to dose the gate, when the little girl, who has remained unnoticed, runs up. Girl (with a pronounced lisp): What arc vouth people doin’? Kin 1 come in with youth? Oh. so youth is tha talent clubs? How lufflv. Youth ith justh the people I am looking for. I would just love to be able to dithplav my talents. Kin I come in with youth? I promise that I will attend all the meetingth, and will twy to cultivate my talents vewwy muth. By this time, the entire group has surrounded the little girl, laughing and snickering among themselves. First Talent: Ha! Ha! Did you hear that? The poor deluded kid wants to display her talents! If she has any, she certainly struck the wrong place. And she promises to attend all the meetings! Second Talent (to the little girl): And what on earth is your name, you peculiar creature? Girl: My name ith Thweet Innocence. But I don’t like to be called pecula’. I’m a nice little girl, bccauth my mamma said I wath! So there! Third Talent: Did you hear her name? Sweet Innocence! How appropriate! Fourth Talent: I didn’t know that there were such people existing in so modern an age as the present. Second Talent: What a bother it must be to be practical minded! Fifth Talent: And it must be still worse to have a conscience. Innocence (timidly interrupting): Kin I came in with youth? 1 alwayth did want to dewelop my talenth. Pleath lemme. Sixth Talent: What? Do you think we’d let you into our clique? If we did, you’d always be trying to get us to do some work or something. Second Talent: And we couldn’t ever think of doing any work. Innocence (beginning to sob): Well, why don’t you lemme in? I’m a good ittle girl, an I'm vewwy talented. I wanna chancet to dewelop my talenth, and you are the Talenth Clubth Fourth Talent (rudely interrupting): You mean were the 1 alent Clubs. We re living on the reputation made by our clubs years and years ago. Why we aren’t really talent clubs at all. That’s just a good excuse for existing. Innocence (sobbing more violently than ever): Why. I think you people arc just too mean. Where can a poor ittle girl ike me go to expweth her talenth, if she doesn’t go to the Talent Clubth? Why won’t you lemme come in? (sob . . . sob . . .) Third Talent: No, we don’t want people of your type in our clubs at all. We’re here for a good time, and somebody like you would always be pestering us to do something,’ or else f 30 J NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY you’d squeal on us and have an investigation or something started. Innocence (to herself): Inwestigation? Inwestigation? Inwestigation? (she smiles—very faintly). Sixth Talent: No, you absolutely cannot come in! All the Talents (in chorus): Now, that’s final! Stay out! They all go nut through the gate, closing it after them, and leaving Sweet Innocence all alone. Gate (as it closes): Clique . . . clique . . . clique . . . Innocence (sticking her face close up to the closed gate) : I’ll make you cruel people sawwy! I’ll get even with youth. I’ll start a inwestigation! (Curtain) ACT TWO As the curtain rises on the second act. the various talent clubs rnay be seen in session on various parts of the stage. The most noise seems to be coming from a small group of furious debaters. First Debater: . . . and so I conclude in summing up the points which I have so conclusive!} proved (applause). Firstly: Our present educational system is inadequate (applause) because no arrangements are made for parties during school time, or for the development of individuality (applause). Secondly: The feelings of the individual arc not considered at all (applause). Thirdly: Our educational system is nothing more than a mill, turning out hundreds upon hundreds of carbon copies a . . . The meeting is interrupted by the entrance of Sweet Innocence, leading a horn-rimmed spectacled gentleman with a brief case and a magnifying glass. Innocence (shouting loudly so that all the clubs hear her, and cease their meetings) : I told youth I'd make youth all sawwy! Lo: k what I have went an’ did. I have started an inwestigation, I have. (Turning to the horn-rimmed spectacled gentleman with the brief case) Clean ’em up, mister; they done me dirt! The Inspector goes over to a group babbling away in some attempt at a foreign tongue. A person. evidently the president, is speaking. President: Law circle alley ray en ord re. Lee secretaire lira lay minutes de law meeting passay. Madame Secretaire prendra la floor. Apra} cela, nooz oronz lays rayfreshments. 'Foot law mond est invitav de restay ici pour lay rayfreshments Inspector (interrupting): Now what on earth is all this supposed to be? Have you a hot potato in your mouth, or is it merely a severe case of sinus trouble? President: Why, I’m almost shocked! We are speaking French! Here, have un ray freshmen t as we say over in Paris. Here is a dixie cup. We always cat at our meetings—they always do over in Paris, you know. Inspector (making a note in his note book): So you were speaking French, heh? I guess it must have been something like that, because it wasn't Knglish. Well, I’ll mark down your club as O.K. Thanks for the eats. He passes on to a group that is painting bricks on a canvas wall, eating peanut-butter sandwiches as they paint. Inspector: Now, really, my friends, I believe it would look more realistic if you didn’t put in so many triangular-shaped bricks. Artists (in unison): ITHATHH The Inspector is deluged with paint by the infuriated artists. Hr smiles as he licks off the paint. Inspector: Oh! How I love temperamental people. (He marks down an O.K. in his note book and goes over to a group practising something akin to dramatics.) Inspector: And what, may 1 inquire, arc you doing ? Actors: Why, we're practising Sun-l'p.” We've been practising it for about two semesters now, so we’ll probably be able to give it in a year or so. Inspector: Well, you're O.K. (to Sweet Innocence, who is at his side). Why, my dear child, I see nothing the matter with any of these clubs. You were only misinformed, poor thing. I see no reason at all for continuing the investigation any farther. He stalks off, with Innocence running after him, sobbing violently. As soon as he is gone, the clubs throw away their work and rush toward the center of the stage. Talent Clubs: Whoopee . . . let's have the music. They all join in the chorus of the song sung in Act One, As the Curtain Falls 13 J THE HESPERIAN FOR JANUARY HVGftS’ 03T STVD HALL Most popular boy Most popular girl Most studious boy Most talented girl Peppiest girl Wittiest boy Wittiest girl handsomest boy Prettiest girl Best boy athlete Shortest girl Longast boy Most bashful girl Snootiest boy Snootiest girl Best dressed boy Best dressed girl o [32] NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY FAME Kilbom CHughes,Robertson .Greaves Me Briert Greaves C.Huqhes McIntosh E ischer Kilbom C.huqhes MJohnson Davidson Stewart J.

AS LEADING CRITICS SAW “THE YOUNGEST” It would scarcely he fitting to let such an opportunity for dramatic criticism go by without notice; however, the Hesperian dramatic critic. Carton Smiles, is on Broadway, so the desperate journalist uses the old trade trick of writing divers comments himself, signing them with the names of the first people to come into his mind. Sec what happened! “............Macintosh's acting in ‘The Youngest' proved my theory about banning high school plays.........” —C. R. Richardson. “..........Deutsche's sneer sent thrills up and down and sometimes sideways of my • M spine.......... —L. Goldberg. ..........As an old first-nighter I feel that 1 can truthfully say that ’l he Young-est’ was the lousiest performance I have ever had the pleasure of watching......” —Prompter Holt. “..............Tom Gerber is now the man of my dreams. I think he is adorable... —John Manning. “...........Doug Macintosh's style in clothing ought to he copied in all big cities.....................................” —Bradley Laird. ...........If another performance like 'The Youngest' is given I might be persuaded to go again..........” —Miss Lack erst ken. .................Smooth acting ... a slight plot hidden by clever lines......... Brenda Fischer certainly proved she was cast correctly when she served as the crowd .........” —Bob Tenner. ..............Lavcndar Greaves showed her abilities as an actress when she appeared to really care for Macintosh................One could close his eyes, stuff his ears with cotton and imagine that it wasn't a play at all —no indeed, real life stuff instead........ —Ruth E. Wilson. ...............Dean Ahrens shifted scenery without misplacing a single window. The usual noise of changing scenes was missing —perhaps because the talking behind scenes covered up anything else . . . .

In order that it might function smoothly, Miss Annette Sandhoe, adviser of the organization, with the help of the officers selected two committees, one to handle the finances and the other to select casts. Two new rules were introduced by the executive council regarding attendance and active membership. Any member not reporting to a formal practice with Miss Sandhoe, unless excused by her, is to be dropped from the cast and the club. Any member appearing in a public performance is to be listed as a player member and is eligible for a club pin. Only player members are permitted to work in three-act plays. ‘‘The Return of Aunt Deborah, a two-act comedy, was given in the student program at the P. T. A. meeting held December 16.

Programs of outstanding interest included a debate between Miss Harrigan and Mr. Bradley, an extemporaneous play given at the initiation, a formal debate, and the preparation of a club constitution. The lectures given by the club were held in 302 with special sanction from the office. All social science classes were encouraged to attend.

This review is not a revision of previous publications but an entirely new edition. The foot notes and references have been added for the convenience of the student.

THE FUTURE OF 9ERT Little did Marconi know when he invented that instrument of ether expulsion that some day, in the vast, far future, he would benefit those pedagogical inhabitants of Minneapolis’ institution of learning. West High, by presenting an unconscious plan (that’s the word—Ed.) to relieve the congestion of auditorium periods. The value derived from this plan is infinite in scope. The grey locks of Mr. Greer will give way to a darker shade; Everest, janitor-plus, will recall that ancient smile of his and paste it on his features; and the SI students, those that write of auditorium congestion, will rise to ecstatic heights of majestic joy. For the Radio Club, organization of statisticians, has developed a plan of marvelous logic and practicability, viz., install radios in every room, and present speakers through the medium of the microphone. Later, when television is introduced, West can have song and dance revues, and raavbe Daddy Jolson will sing a song about Sonny Hoy . . . ( Hut that’s too much to hope for, of course—Ed.) This I topian dream will soon be visualized, for the office has issued a statement requesting lunch students to throw all tin foil in specially rigged boxes, the proceeds to espouse the cau;e Ah! What a future . . . Vet, supposing that Willie and Wanda Westerner would cultivate the habit of throwing the foil into the crates instead of piling it in a corner of 302 for Everest and the boys to dig out, such might be the sounds emitted from the special class room amplifier: “You have just listened to a group of songs sung by Miss Connie Hughes, accompanied at the Baldwin by Kathyrn Over-street.

This program has come to you through the courtesy of the Greene Flexible Toothpick Company, makers of the famous cork-tipped tobacco-filled toothpicks. ‘They Pick as You Smoke.’ And now we turn the microphone over to the De Pol club, which will present its five-hour discussion of ‘Coddling in Education’ . . Activities of the Radio Club were retarded at the beginning of the term by an accident to the principal receiver. Sending from the 9ERT station was heard in Canada. A series of practise tests was prepared by Bob Conary as a method of coaching members for license examinations. The club failed to pass the first series but members had worked up their code practise to better than the required speed by the end of the term.

MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB The Model Airplane Club, one of West’s newest organizations, spends its time in the construction of different types of planes. The work is supervised by John Litchfield and Russell Camp and is carried on in the physics laboratory. A. A. Andrews is the faculty adviser. An endurance flight contest was held November 30. Planes entered had to fly 20 seconds, have a fuselage eight inches long, have a landing gear, and be able to take off the ground. The type of tail was optional, but the motor could not exceed eight inches in length. The group is working on an examination to be given boys seeking member hip, and is constructing an all-metal model of a plane used largely for transportation purposes. KAMERA CLUB The Kamera Club took pictures of the athletic field during the summer in the various stages of construction. Revision of last year’s S. and R. picture has been made for a future showing.

FRENCH CLUB Talks on France, visits to the Art Museum, philanthropic enterprises and social programs made the fall term of the French Club interesting and busy. Hetty Gay Baxter, at the second meeting of the year, told of her experiences in France on her European trip the past summer. During a loan exhibition of French masterpieces at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the French Club visited the museum and enjoyed a conducted tour. Later in the month about twenty-five members accepted the invitation of the North High French club to a tea. Following a custom of several years, the group contributed to Orphelinat des Armees. and gave a Christmas program of carols and plays in French. CONTEMPORARY FRENCH TALENT It may be all right when it comes to translating French into English, but things begin to happen when French students are told to write original compositions in the foreign tongue.

SPANISH CLUB “Buenas dins, amigos mios!” and the Spanish dub enthusiastically greeted the new term at its first meeting on September 27. The outline for the term included plans for an auditorium for the entire school, joint meetings with other talent clubs and talks on subjects pertaining to Spain. The roll was increased by seven after applicants for membership had discussed Spanish affairs to the satisfaction of the judges. Irregularity of attendance, however, caused several members to be dropped, and tryouts were later planned to refill the absent places. During one of the meetings, a spell down in Spanish was featured. On Green and YY’hite day, the club served tea and cake and told fortunes from leaves in a Spanish atmosphere created by national costumes and scenery. Around a miniature manger, filled with carved figures, a feature of the real Spanish celebration, members ended the term by singing carols in their original form. A NIGHT IN SPAIN In keeping with the name of this club, and the work accomplished by it, we present a resume of all the time worn tricks, jokes and other means of annoying serious-minded individuals, and entitle the same (resume) “A Night in Spain,” or “It’s An Old Spanish Custom.” To elucidate: YYOien a small, unsuspecting freshie approaches the grim portals of YY est, some humorous-minded senior accosts him and, in a friendly way, offers him library slips “at a reduction.” The Freshie is more or less embarrassed, because he was under the impression that the library was free! A Malicious Spanish Custom! During any of the periods of the day one may see furtive planning in what manner to go about tricking some dutiful senior study hall monitor into letting one skip. Then, when all is planned, out comes a fountain pen and some paper, and each writes an excuse for the other changing the penmanship to a straight motherly type of writing. These Designing Isabellas! Invariably, after school is well on it way, some flustered girl causes a sensation and breaks her necklace of beads on the floor of the quietly calm study hall. Just an Old Spanish Custom! Next, a brutal sort of soul wishes to show his superiority over the freshie, and informs him that YVest has been presented with one of the most famous statues in the world, and the overawed youngster hows low to Joan of Arc. Even Scotch Love Old Spanish Customs! YVhenever out of funds, pencils, paper or any other necessary commodity, inquire of your neighbor “How’s for a piece of paper,” or, in a sad way, remark, “I guess I’ll have to walk home unless, (hopefully) you could lend me a token? The Raucous Hull Fighting Spirit! At a football game, invariably the favorite yell is the “Loceemotive,” and the boiler maker may be heard for miles around as the gang gives its customary yells. Fridays, when YYrecklies are being sold, the customary remark to make, when approached and glowered upon by an urgent salesman, is, “I’ll be back!” It always works.

Because the “great god” football occupies the center of attention in school sports, reviewers are inclined to discount the prowess of a school in the field of less spectacular athletic events. Football which nets financial suport for other contests did not find West in a place of honor this season, but of the other three sports, West earned two championships and a third place. Cross country anil golf found the teams holding honors for the third and fourth years, respectively. CROSS COUNTRY After sweeping through city and state championships for two consecutive years and retaining possession of the prized Jostcn trophy, the chances for a 1929 cross country title seemed very dim with only one returning letterman. Several schools had dropped out of cross country competition, leaving four in the running. South, Roosevelt, Edison, and West.

Coach I ouis Zavodskv issued an early call for men. Thirty-two candidates reported at the first meeting, and led by Willard Tatam, the only letter-man back, the Green and White hill and dalers began a season of intensive work. The first meet was with Roosevelt, reputed to be a strong team; however, the Westerners upset the Teddies by a score of 80-4. Captain Tatam was first in this meet with Halbert, Curtis and Blixt close behind. The next week West overwhelmed Edison 97-13. 'This was the greatest score piled up by any team during the season. Again Tatam crossed the line first, followed by Lewellcn and Curtis. The third and last meet was with the strong South team. Again the Westerners were victorious, although the Tiger harriers almost defeated the Green and White hill and dalers. The final score was 63-57. B virtue of the last victory. West won the city cross country championship and won the permanent possession of the Josten trophy. This trophy had to be won three years in succession. A week later the state meet was run off. Here South runners proved their worth by copping the state title. The Westerners finished second. Taking into consideration the material with which Coach Zavodskv had to build a team, it was one of West’s most successful seasons. Besides Captain Tatam, cross country ranks lose Ahrens, Carvcll, Frandecn and Curtis. Ten men received their W's in this sport. TENNIS Front Row : Adolphu ronniiiK atcr. Kricdt. captain.

TENNIS Termination of the tennis season found West occupying third place in the league standing, with Central leading and North in second place. The team won four out of six matches. West defeated Washburn in the first match of the season 5-2. The next match was dropped to North 2-3. West won from South 3-2, then lost to Central 1-4. The Green and White took the last two matches from Kdison and Marshall 5-0 and 5-0. The team did surprisingly well considering the loss of so many of last season’s members through graduation, football, and ineligibility,” said W. W. Williams, coach. In the individual scoring of the singles matches, Kricdt won four matches and lost two; Wattson emerged victorious in four and was defeated in two; Arne Gronningsater came out on top in three and dropped two; Cool took one and lost none: and Ralston lost one. winning none. In the doubles matches Kricdt and Cool won two and lost one; Kriedt and Wattson split evenly, winning one and losing one; the Gronningsater brothers came out on top in five and were defeated in one; Laxson and Nichols came out on top in one and lost one; and Sammis and Twite dropped one, winning none. Three members will he lost by graduation, Wattson and the Gronningsater brothers. There will, however, be a strong nucleus for the spring team in Kriedt, Cool and Curie. Curie has been a valuable football player this fall, but will be back for tennis in the spring. GOLF Captained by Pat Sawyer, stocky Green and White state junior golf champion, the golfers retained their hold on the city championship for the fourth consecutive time. All of the matches were played on the Glenwood course. In the first match on September 28, the West club swingers vanquished Washburn with a team total of 308 to 318. Pat Sawyer was low man turning in a card of 73. Bill Boutell was second man with a 74. Playing a vastly improved game, the Opfcr-men chalked up their second win of the season by conquering the Inventors. Making his putts click with precision, Bill Boutell walked off with the medalist honors, a 71 accomplishing the trick. Handicapped by the soggy condition of the Glenwood course which slowed up the long shots, the Westerners continued their steady march towards the championship by defeating the Marshall quartette of Scotchmen, 312 to 340. Pat Sawyer’s 73 carried off the honors of the day. Shooting a brilliant 70, Bill Boutell was low-man in the match, Friday, October 25, and was an important factor in West’s one-sided victory over the Tigers. The team totals were 304 to 336. When the Opfermen encountered the previously undefeated Polars, their team totals suffered a reversal. John Nelson and Otto Hammerlund saved the day for the Westerners after both Sawyer and Boutell had encountered trouble on the hilly fairways of the Glenwood course. Nelson had a 75 and Hammerlund a 76. I « 1 1 NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOOTBALL When the 1929 football season ended, West was seventh in the high school league standings with a record of one win, one tie, and five defeats. Although over a hundred men turned out for the grid aggregation and Coach Carl Jackson worked hard to perfect the gridders, the Green and White had its poorest pigskin season in several years. In the first contest of the year, West lost to Edison by a count of 13-7. Next, the green and White took on the North eleven and came out of the struggle with a 20-20 tic. West’s gridmen were swamped by the Southerners 25-0 in a game which was played at Nicollet park, and then the Roosevelt players downed them, 7-6. Washburn was the only grid outfit that fell before the Westerners during the season. The Green and White players, although not expected to win, made 7 points and held the Millers scoreless. On Green and White day West met Central in a battle which the Red and Blue athletes won by a 9-6 score. The last contest of the schedule was with Marshall, and the Judges won. 7-6. Throughout the season, in spite of the fact that his team was losing. Max Johnson, captain and fullback of the team, played an outstanding game and helped keep up the spirits of his teammates by his enthusiasm. Louis Goodman, who played right half, was the most brilliant and flashy member of the team. He was honored by a place on the all-citv second team. At the annual banquet held in honor of the gridders, John Day, who substituted for Max Johnson at full in ’2K and ’29, was chosen by his teammates to captain the 1930 aggregation. Besides Day, the veterans who will be in next year’s lineup are Si Ryan. Wyman Elliot, Des Daniels. John Broughton, Paul Spooner, Robert Kick, and Kenneth Curie. Max Johnson was awarded the Cogs' trophy for outstanding playing. FOOTBALL R«« : Jnckion. conch; L.iBatte.

Athletics received most help from the club this term. Fourteen dollars from candy and paper sales and sunlites went to the boys who provided cars to carry the football team to practice. In a competitive candy sale, $80 was raised for football headgear. Advisory 310A won free football tickets for contributing unanimously to the sale. The receipts. $12.50, of the Turkey Trot Sunlite held November 27, were given to the hockey and the basketball teams for equipment. A paper sale was conducted during the week of December 16. Members of the Alla Hi-Y group volunteered to collect paper from homes that indicated a donation of at least 100 pounds of old magazines, and CXC assisted with the work of collection at school. COGS Cogs service to the school was limited to interest in athletic affairs. Continuing an annual custom of presenting a football trophy to the best all around player on the squad, the club this year presented to Max Johnson, a silver pigskin. Football programs were published and d‘s-tributed at all the football games in an effort to encourage larger attendance at the contests, and to create greater interest in the individual work of the players.

Graphs sent out by the Board of Fducation are posted in each room to present an accurate record of the percentage of depositors. Sophomores continued to lead the school, holding hack the juniors, their closest rivals. A drive in the early part of October resulted in a large increase in depositors, many advisories doubling their number. New depositors started agitation for a change in the hanking hours from 8 o’clock to the advisory period, and at present plans are being made to offer a more convenient banking center to the students. To stimulate thrift and give a comprehensive summary of each week’s banking, a large chart was posted outside of room 238 with the percentage of bankers in each advisory indicated by red tape. This graph resulted in a slight gain and brought to light the record of room 204, which under the leadership of June Gordon attained a 100 average. ROUND TABLE When 13 new members wearing grotesque costumes survived the initiation, the Round Table started the year with an unusually large force, necessitated by the uneven distribution of members in the library during the various periods. Student government has been inaugurated in the library, nearly 2000 passes have been distributed and filed, and the library has been opened fourth hour. Forsaking the customary routine at Thanksgiving time, the Round 'Fable attempted a new project, social service work. Members donated a complete dinner to a family consisting of a mother and three children. The results were so gratifying that at the Christmas holidays they again entertained the spirit of goodwill, and on this occasion made the donation more complete by including not only food but toys.

On the pages of this volume are flashed the various scenes that shall give to the graduating senior, and the underclassman as well, a remembrance of his high school activities when he shall open the book years after he has left West high school for other fields of industry. There are the views of the various student projects and activities, which all eventually fit together into that most complex, yet vastly interesting pattern of existence termed education. In the long intervening centuries between the forgotten years of the Grecian deities and the swift-moving twentieth century, the high ideals of education have not been lost. For those who in after life may forget their years at West, this Hesperian will remain as a reminder of their youth.

The several drives for funds that were started all came to no less a chaotic ending. Finally, after much deliberation, caused by difficulties both financial and otherwise, the Hesperian was put in the hands of the chosen editors, who were to begin work on it immediately. Because of the delays, the time allowed was necessarily short. The editors, who knew all too well the brevity of time, believed it would be fitting to dedicate the book to the Greek dicty Mercury, god of Speed, believing that his aid, as well as that of all available modern machinery, would bring the book to a successful completion. Therefore, it is with the hope that the young pagan god will heed the call of the Hesperian authors, that they dedicate this volume to Mercury. 1930 june JOSPorian- junc 1930 lesoemn the schoo The school is not a mere building of cold brick and unresponsive wood. It is an organized body of teachers and pupils all striving for the same goal—universal betterment of the human mind and body through general supervised education. Although this goal sometimes seems unattainable, and is obscured by the foggy mists of doubt and misbelief, the spirit of the group remains undaunted, and the supreme object is never for a moment lost to the sight. In living up to the high ideals of West, the pupils arc unconsciously preparing themselves for the loyalty required of them in the long years of later life, and for the co-operation with society which is the essential duty of good citizenship. A class is composed of a multitude of personalities, all different and highly individualized, each contributing his share to the common good of the school. It is these personalities that are to make up society, and the more perfectly they are developed by their associations with their classmates, the more perfectly they will blend with the pattern of the community in later life. As men and women they will continue to develop those traits of character which have been moulded during their lives as students. These experiences as individuals and as a class will never be forgotten. junc 1930 lesperan ------ and m It is to this group that the school must look for its leaders, for because of their majority in years and their greater experience, they are more properly fitted for leadership and responsibility. 1Q30 june in memoriam To our former classmate, Betty Schussler, who died October 16, 1929, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident, we, the June class of 1930, pay our tribute.

For it is they who are soon to receive the laurel crown of seniorship, and thus set the example for the increasing mass of yet unknown underclass students. The lower classes have supported the A seniors in all projects which have been put before them, and especially the task of upholding the Hesperian. It is because of the complete cooperation of all the other classes that the publication of the book has been made possible. ---------and it$ im porta nee The greatest number of students lies in the lower classes, and because of this fact, it is upon their loyalty and cooperation that the success of all the school projects depends. 1Q30 june letoeriari «i B SENIORS ! !-----------V A JUNIORS saoiNnf a A SOPHOMORES B SOPHOMORES A FRESHMEN B FRESH MEN ■Ci I'dRc Forty-flic 1Q30 ties june Derian- orqanircitioni The first aim of new students who are entering a high school is to become acquainted with the various organizations that exist in that school. Student life would seem strangely incomplete without the strengthening bond of organizations. Yet these clubs are not merely social gathering places. They have an intrinsic value far above that worth regarded as purely superficial. Talent clubs do a great deal of good for the school through universal support of projects. But greater than this is the fact that a talent club is a proving ground for those individual geniuses who may be the famous artists, musicians, or literati of the future. Besides providing a pleasant diversion and developing the talent of the students, these groups tend to maintain the highest standard of school spirit, which is the all-important factor in school life.

C. CLUB With the close of the mid-year membership drive, 38 5 girls were included in the list of members of the club. The first undertaking of the term was the refurnishing of the girls rest room. The furniture was repainted a bright blue, and new covers, pillows, and drapes were made. As a feature of their social service work, the club launched a “Clean-Up Your Lunchroom’ campaign, taking charge of the girls’ side. The enterprise was considered successful. The work in the library of the Northeast Settlement House was continued as usual. A cot for boys who are ill was provided by the office, and the U. C. furnished a cover, blanket and pillow for it. Paper flowers for the class play were made by the club as their contribution to the production. To follow up their social activities, the Girls’ club of Central and the U. C. club of Washburn were entertained at teas held in January and April, respectively. At each tea a program was given, refreshments were served, and dancing was participated in. The annual Mothers’ and Daughters’ Banquet was held May 15. The highlight of the dinner was a talk on “Measuring Up” by Mrs. Matthew Anderson. Jane Thomas, social chairman, Betty Cobb, membership chairman, Kathryn Overstreet, program chairman, Jean Hersey, social service chairman, Mildred Swan, art and publicity chairman, Barbara Dow. rest room chairman, and Jean Birkett, museum chairman, deserve special recognition for their work during the year. ill nc Q30 ies perian Page Fifty-four GIRL RESERVES First Row—Hudson, Forittr, McCulloch, Klein, Neuman, Gilmore Second Row—Kennedy, Avery, Rit enhouse, Mist Gnde, faculty aJtiter; Learman, Wright, Berry 'I MIRK Rom’—Clark, Farm.

Page Sixty-fire 1930 jui he$ ie . pern m june 1930 lesporan athletic - - Good sportsmanship, loyalty, and co-operation, whether in defeat or in victory, has always been the high and worthy aim of all athletic teams. The athlete, plunging onward, straining his physical fibre for that distant ribbon and finally, in success or defeat, accepting the results with that wonderful sportsmanship which characterizes all that has ever been best in manhood, represents an all-important factor in the school that strives to bring the American youth nearer to the perfection exemplified in the glorious physical life of the old Greeks. Most fitting is West’s motto, So fair a day; so fought and bravely won.” --------------and tlieir future One of the vital factors in striving for a team is perfection by much practice. Heretofore this has been difficult to procure because of the lack of a place to play, but this year, with the advent of the new athletic field, the future of Western athletics has brightened considerably. june lesoerian- 1030 TENNIS First Row—Laxson, Taylor, Curie, Jeffery, KrieJt Second Row—Twite, Van Vakenbury, Williams, faculty aJuser; Thompson Third Row—Cook, Want, Coole, Andrews The outlook this season is unusually bright for a championship due to the return of several seasoned veterans.

Page Setenly-one for next june 1930 lespenar- lespemn feature' Fleet the time carelessly as they did in the golden age.” When one is joyful his most delightful characteristics arc made apparent. Only in this state of being can any one fully appreciate the real part that humor pbys in all of life. This axiom applies to the crowd —the School—as well as to the individual, but, of course, in a far greater degree. For the humorous side of the school’s life is as essential to the pupil’s well-being as its academic side of affairs. That the school may better understand the upperclassmen — and women—in their weaker moments, the feature section is presented with apologies to no one in particular. Page Snen y-iuo m GI IGIE WEBB BEV Page Seventy-three june 1930 ne Dcrian- SI a n q oF the we t Ic was predicted by such philosophers as Marconi, Henry Ford, and Charles R. Richardson, that there was to be a June, 1930 class graduating from a certain school. Accordingly, the Three Wise Ones got together and, finding themselves peculiarly congenial, predicted, likewise, several other things. Now, we do not claim that because of these predictions did the events forecast take place ... we are not fatalists. We merely accept them as natural matters of fact, and accordingly set them down to be read by all interested. Now in this class there happened to be two individuals whom we shall call A. G. I and A. G. II, merely by way of elucidation. These boys, predicted the Three Wise Ones, would take a long trip; but now the story commences. (Hold everything, Listeners, and what you can’t hold, drop easy.) One sunny day in May, the two highlights of a certain group of people were to set sail for points East, WEST, South, or North, leaving behind such interesting details and events as concerned the rest of the group in general, and COOPER three in particular. They wept. They moaned. They did not want to leave. In fact they declared WRIGHT then and there they would WALKUP to the Three Wise Ones and declare that they refused to be predicted about. The MOOR they thought about the ease, the MOORE they thought THISS WOOD be their solution. They proposed the plan to the class. Everyone wondered what in the DOOSE could be done, when DECLERK announced that a genius was present, who had a solution for the situation that would BOAL them all over. Accordingly the gentleman in question, after pulling out two or three different large pieces of paper, declared he thought it would be TWITE clever to have the class in a body WRIGHT a book all about themselves, and give it to the prospective travelers. Oh! SHAW! that’s easy! they rejoiced, and set down to the business of producing such a volume. In the book were to be many things, and the motif was to be action. A particular DOT skipped a great many periods and procured pictures of many of her classmates, the pictures being specifically action pictures.” For instance, there was little Johnnie MANNING his GREENE and WHITE boat. Kathryn was posed on the edge of a STILWELL, watching Ruth WHALEN. Page Seventy-four June, Elaine, posing with her report card, and her family coming in the distance, was looking GODWARD, while Louise, being hungry, was directing her STONE-like gaze HAYWARD. Marion was watching the NORTH star, and June was chopping WOOD. Many, however, were the trials and tribulations. For instance, the Literary Editor was ROSEY-red, and SPARKES flew from his eyes when his fury at a poor writer was uncontrollable. I’ve SCHOENER and SCHOENER how a GOODWIN should be, and still she can’t see DAY,” he thundered at the Editor, in a BASS voice, in the shrinking presence of the victim. Why—of all the DAUGHERTY slams, THISS is the very worst!” cried the blamed one. Pve never,” continued her persecutor, ’’read a DRYER piece of rot. I WILBERN it up, and Great SCOTT! you must write another right now!” As the girl was going away, he muttered to himself, That should WARNER.” WHITCHURCH will have Baccalaureate Services for us, huh?” he asked the Editor. The one, I suppose,” she answered, with the largest HALL.” Exit the Literary Editor. DAY in; DAY out did the class work. Several KNOX were received, of course, but that is inevitable. Finally the book was completely ready. The copy was sent down to the Printer’s and returned to the delighted students in beautiful black binding with the GOLDEN letters, Hesperian” on it. People went CRUZEN around getting autographs, and finally they remembered they must get down to the boat to see their two friends off on their trip. Accordingly, they all rushed down to the water front and saw the boys get on a bo3t named Hesperia.” The Gronningsaters (for they were the boys, you know) passed from their vision, and everyone went back to the West lunch room for a dinner of corn on the COBB (and other things), and a WHALLON good time was had by all. So endeth the talc. So, also endeth the predictions. The Three Wise Ones gather themselves and their frowns together, and commence again to plot . . . plot . . . plot. . . .

The years of high school were all too short, but they will always be remembered as the pleasant prelude to Life. The Hesperian has tried to be faithful to its essential and underlying purpose—that of an accurate chronicler of youthful activity. The reader alone can judge. If the book renews and holds memories that have departed, and brings back for a moment, in after years, the golden years of Youth, it has succeeded in its purpose. Eleanor Shaw ...............—.....
