but wc won the basketball championship, the track championship and I hope that, before this is published, wc will have won the baseball games. We have been very ably represented on the regular school teams. On the football team, the last of its kind which will ever represent the Orange and Black, we mention with the greatest pride the following who played on the champion- ship team last year: Art Markham, Jack Forsyth, Harry Thomas and Ed. Long. The basketball team will miss Captain “Tim” Mahaney and Wilbur Woodams from its lineup next season. The class was exceedingly well represented on the track team by Captain Art Chamberlain, Oscar MacBain, Julius Kuhnert, “Dutch” Stahlbrodt, Lawrence Angevine, “Fete” Turney and Jack Forsyth. The names of Forsyth and Markham stand out prominently in the baseball lineup. The class has been equally well represented along other lines besides athletics, such as in debating. On the boys’ team which debated against East High we had James Bills and Arling Brown ; on the girls' team Charlotte Graves and Winifred Howard are of the graduating class. On the Occident staff we have Dick Well- ington and John Babcock. In the Musical clubs the man who will be missed most is Howard Lewis, who has been leader of the Glee and Mandolin clubs for the past two years. There arc also numerous other Seniors in both the boys' and girls' Glee clubs but it would take too long to mention their names. Now wc have followed through, briefly, the history of the class and some of the accomplishments which its members have attained in a short four years. But this history is in comparison with that which would go to make up the life story and at the best it could only tell a very few of the deeds of this small percentage. If we could only tell of the strivings, the victories and the failures of every stu- dent in the class this would indeed be a history. But just think how insignificant this history is in comparison with that whch would go to make up the life story of the class after each has finished his mission in this world! You can now sec what a poor attempt this is. “All the world’s a stage,” says Shakespeare. Our life in high school is a very small scene in the play which might be called “The Twentieth Century” and. which is now being staged on the world. The teachers of West High prepare each one of us to act our humble part to the best of our ability. They have, however, only a small fraction of our time in which to give us training for such a great play, so let each of those players, who are to get their training in West High in the future, do his duty both to himself and to the world at large by getting as much out of his life in high school as he can. F. L. T.. Historian.
