Instead fI9icture 41 she is proving herself a perfect Irish lady. This picture was taken at the time she kissed the Blarney stone. fPicture 51 Poor Farshler is in an awful muddle. He canit decide which he likes best-girls or dollars. CPicture 141 Earl Graber's monkey has succeeded Polly and Her Pals as a laugh producer and money maker. Henry Ginsburg furnishes a surprise. He never buys books now simply because he has read them all. fPic- ture.1 Instead he writes his own books on the Art of Con- versation and Oral Endomebiasisv and in his spare mo- ments plays baseball. .QPicture1 eMinnie Huston, Hazel Ryerson, and Elma Robinson, all normal school graduates, are striking for higher pay for teachers. fPicture 61 Dorothy Holmes is chief of the Hello girls. She got our number long ago. fPicture1 Fowler Harper is on the stage with a rapid- fire act of piano and trombone playing, with a little preach- ing on the side. Somewhat on the Sunday style. Every deck has its joker, QPicture 71 so has this one. And Leonard Hartsook hasn't forgotten the part. CPicture 81 Dr. Hoff is in the business for money alone. He admits it. And- fPicture 91 Wow, that looks suspicious with Hutt, the undertaker, following right along after him. That's serious business. While we are talking about doctors I must tell you that Willo Hecker is still studying medicine. Urcil Jones is demonstrating ten cent music at Wool- worth's. fPicture.1 iPicture 101 Harry Johnson got tired stringing tele- graph wires, so he is now an electrical engineer, telling oth- ers how to do it. fPicture1 Hayden Jones, farmer, sings while he Works. You can see him singing a Welsh song. However, you won't mind that as much as hearing him. CBlank1 Here you see Raymond Kipp appearing to you as he ever did. Ethel Glick writes poetry in a modest way. She has refused to let us show her, so we pass on to CPic- ture 111 Paul Kershaw, who is a Quaker preacher. He never spoke till the spirit moved him. Matilda Stuart is his very able assistant. Harold Link graduated from O. S. U. with a farmer's degree fpicture1, but here his natural ability led him out of the furrow. He is now a dictionary demonstrator pro- nouncing forty heterogeneous, homogeneous, intermingled, anthropophagus words a minute. fPicture 121 Liles quit catching professional ball to finish playing his violin. CPicture1 Helen Miller raised a good he'ad of hair for herself and is now employed doing hair-raising stunts for the movies.

20 THE OCCIDENT Flhe East will anh Elvatament nf Qllami 1915 Whereas the Class of 1915 is about to dissolve partnership and fall sep- arately and individually into the hands of a receiver, and whereas it has learned from a close study of the lives of great men like J. D. Rockefeller, O. H. Magly and J. D. Roney that under such distressing circumstances it is cus- tomary to dispose of all unconcealable assets to one's friends and next of kin, so that creditors may not have to ac- cept more than two Q23 cents on the ilollar, we devise our collateral as fol- ows: I. Mark Ruhl's Napoleonic attitude to Lovell Rohr to use when making speeches. fMark had an invitation from Mr. Baker to act as model but Mark answered him in his character- istic way, I can't do that. I don't care for notoriety, anyhow. J II. Anita Thomas's ready made smiles to Frank Shugert. fThis smile has won Anita a Senior- Junior bid, a paragraf in Round About West and a G in History, now added to Frank's usual sweet ex- pression-well, what will happen ?J III. To Stuart Watson, Hazel Lin- ville's sense of the eternal fitness of things. fNo, Stuart doesn't need it. He has a developed appreciation of the suit- able all his own, but we just had to leave him somethingmj IV. Henry Ginsberg's flowery elo- quence to Adele. fHenry has too much, Adele too lit- tle.J V. Carmen Stocklin's new, strictly scientific method of falling downstairs, guaranteed to give at least one black eye, to Vontel Haines Willard. fCarmen never did believe in Safety First. J VI. Ruth Emmitt's ear-piercing shrieks to the Columbus, London and Springfield Company to be used any- where along the line except as the cars round the corner of Town and Central. VII. Starling Hutt's 'floating sen- tences, never known to reach earth or period, to Wright Bros. CStarling's recitations always re- minded us of the high cost of living.J VIII. Marie Renner's galvanized, guaranteed-to-take excuses to Glen Owen. f She has only seventeen varieties.J IX. Harry Johnson's canoe to the Camp Fire Girls. fWe hope, though, that they won't imitate Harry and ride on Monday in- stead of Sunday. The wages of sin, you know,-Harry fell into the water and they might toolj X. To Miss Earnest all notes, mu- sical and promissory, and also Hazel Ryerson's motto, Be natural, never be Hat, but always be sharp. fThat's good-you know Miss Earn- est is too easy. That's her one fault- she just can't be sharp.J XI. The Senior Class Colors to St. Patrick with a large portion of the green to the Freshmen. fThe Freshmen in this school, you know, aren't the least bit verdant.J XII. The near-graduates to the City Refuse Department. f The flunkers don't mind-they know that they belong on the dump heap.J XIII. Mr. Kiehl's recitation cards, by which we learned to recite so effect ively, to the Junior Class. fWoe unto them, though, when he changes the order.J XIV. To the Literary Society the privilege of inviting all former mem- bers of the L to Miss Blair's delight- ful spreads. XV. Our musical ears, used only once in the study of Physics, to Mr. Kiehl. XVI. To our parents and teach- ers, who have helped us, to our school- mates, who have encouraged us, to all those interested in West High School we give our love, our thanks, and our best wishes.
