Hearts that have loved thee have won in life’s fight, Names that we honor thy standard holds bright. Our Alma Mater dear, to thee we sing, May all thy future years new honors bring, May friends thy banners raise, thy foes grow less, All love and praise to our old R. H. S. West High Alma Mater Proudly waves old West High’s emblem, black and orange fair. Floats triumphant in the breezes, no dishonor there. Student days have fondest memories, comrades here we stand, As our troth to Alma Mater pledge we hand in hand. From thy halls, dear Alma Mater, we at length must part, 13ut thy memory shall not perish from one student’s heart; Far away on life’s broad highway, all shall fortune try, Still our loving hearts will cherish thoughts of thee, West High.

Latin [ 8 ] The Faculty Class Poem—1911 My tasks were clone; and weary of the world Of care and toil, I wandered forth alone. The path I trod stretched toward the setting sun Whose vari-tinted rays lit up the sky To right and left and far above my head. On either side, tall sentinels rose up, Their leafy branches swaying in the breeze And humming a low lullaby to hush All nature’s children far and wide. And as I gazed upon them there, I could not guess If they were set there for such souls as I, To give protection from the woods within; Or to conceal from curious human eyes Nature’s sweet purity. And, walking, I Espied, while pondering thus, a smaller path Which went athwart the first, and which at last Did lead me, following with weary feet, To where the woodland foliage gave way And left a space all open to the sky; And with a verdant carpet soft as down. And all around there rose a grassy mound Which sloped down gently to the central 'spot. I paused; afar I heard the muffled roar Of steady waterfall, which strangely seemed To mingle with the sweetly murmuring breath Of slowly dying wind. And nearer, was The last faint twitter of the woodland birds, Which just before had sought their nightly perch. A feeling of serenity lay hold Upon my soul, and with a thankful heart 1 lay upon the grassy mound; and as I looked upon the little, cup of green Queer fancies trooped across my mind. Perhaps This was the very rendezvous of elves And fairies, who were dwelling in the woods; Perhaps by night this formed their banquet hall; Or else, perhaps, their queen here held her court; Perhaps— But here there broke upon my ear The sound of distant music, born along Upon the last faint movements of the wind. [ 10 ] And nearer grew the sound and nearer still Until the woodland rang with happy song Of many voices blended, and the whole Was mingled with the laughter and the shouts Of what would seem a multitude. As when The sun behind a darkling sky, at first Sends out a creeping ray with caution, slow; And then another beam steals out and joins The first; and then a third with courage gained By the success of other two, and bold Beyond the others, now glides out; and then Great shafts shoot out, and all at once the sky Bursts forth in light—so burst this joyful song Upon my ear. And from behind a group Of thick-branched brush, there came a crowd of youth And maidens fair, with sprightly step, and all Their faces full of joy, and free from care. And in their midst with dignity there moved A kind-faced man, who looked upon them all With yearning eyes which almost seemed to speak And utter forth a wish felt in his heart. And when they reached the spot near which I lay. They stopped and gathered everyone about Their elder and their friend. Then I perceived That in his hand he bore a chisel bright, And on its handle gilded, was this word— “Masterbuilder. And when they gathered •’round And sat upon the green, each one his eyes Upon the master turned and silence reigned. “My children,”—O the voice of him who spoke! It rose and fell upon the quiet air With cadence beautiful. A voice which seemed To mingle joy and sorrow into one. And such a one as makes the hearer trust 'Fhe man beyond the sound. And there they sat Enfolded by the quiet eventide And listened while he spoke to them. “My children well beloved, ’tis thus we meet Once more, but this will be the last of all. To-day, ye leave this life and pass beyond My care. At this last time would I, in brief, Review the teachings, I have given ye. For years in deeds and illustrations, now In words. O bear them well in mind, for ve Will need them daily in your coming life: C n 3 Build your foundation firm at first, for well Ye know the fairest building will not stand If its foundation is not sure. And this Ye had best build of granite hard and fast— The granite of sincerity. Upon This build of marble all the way— The marble of self-poise. As I have taught Ye, build; your pattern choose; but these at least Be sure are scattered in profusion thick, But each one firmly set with utmost care: The pearl of greatest price—that ye must have. The precious pearl of loyal constancy; The opal with its hope and cheerfulness And faith; the diamond of purity; The garnet with its warmth of love and trust. Just here I felt a something soft and warm Brush up against my hand, and looking round I found a squirrel with boldness sitting up And gazing with surprise upon my face. When I again looked back, alas! the youths And maidens all were gone and I was ’ware Of swiftly coming darkness. Then the squirrel Took fright and scampered off, and I arose And for a moment gazed at where but now There had appeared to be a thoughtful throng. Returning home, I passed along the path And pondered on the meaning of my dream. Then suddenly it flashed upon my mind. O our beloved Alma Mater, thou The Masterbuilder who hast taught us, all These four long—nay these four short fleeting years, Has this, thy earnest teaching, been in vain? Shall we not build our lives as thou hast taught? Thou hast held up the lives of men that were As perfect as mere mortal men can be, And yet shall we not follow in their way? Oh, classmates, let us build the way that’s best! If we build thus the structure beautiful will be. Moreover, these are buildings all may build. And let us thus bring honor to West High— The Alma Mater that we love so well. [ 12 ] MARY T. ROWND. [ 13 ] Senior Class Officers President: Frank Little. Vice-President: Josephine Weis.

Sweet memories hallow every sunny spot, The tangled paths were very soon forgot, By time unraveled. The future to these eyes cannot he shown, The journey yet to come must he unknown, And hidden ever. But, though our pathway clear or dim may he, Twill be enhanced by memories fond of thee, West High, forever.

[ 35 ] Harmony “Tim the Grouch,” as he was called by the quarrymen, was merely a being, a man only because of his structure. He passed his days upon this earth of ours, but he lived in another world of his own conception as barren, as rough and rugged as the quarry in which he worked, and as ugly and hapless as the dirty unkempt district of quarry-workers’ shacks where his family, which he believed to be his curse, struggled along their hapless journey to their graves. The world was not fair. He was a man; and who on earth was more? Had not all one common origin ? Did not he claim the same earth for his abode, as did all others? And yet the God whom men called just had sold his world and its pleasures for gold, and had given it to rank. To him who had abundance, he gave abundantly; but on him who had nothing he placed a heavy tax for life- slavery, worry, discouragement and crime. This was the world in which he lived, of whose comforts he had been robbed and from which he had sworn to take by force what he could get of his due share. All day long Tim had worked in the hot summer sun among a thousand other men, but without one pleasant word to lift the burden of their labor from his fel- low-workers, and from himself. He only worked, his face as set as the stones about him and his heart as hard. When the whistle blew at evening, the joy of homeward bound did not fill his soul, no happy expectation of his wife’s and children’s greetings made him glad, he only trudged along the hard beaten path to his shack and here with rough and cheerless words he ate his simple evening meal, and went back alone into the evening’s gloom. He set off toward the town and walked slowly so that darkness might settle before he reached there. His eyes were bent upon the ground and his hands thrust into the pockets of his shabby clothes, his mind was at work. He heard or saw nothing of the evening’s beauty about him, as he passed along, there was nothing to see in his world, he could only plot revenge. There was a man in the village, old Mr. Carter, whose actions Tim had, of late, taken pains to study. Late every evening on his way home, the old man went a little out of his way to pass the old church on Maple Street, a dark and deserted thoroughfare, and carried with him articles whose value was not small. This was what was working in Tim’s mind and with this in view he laid his plot. The world should give him what belonged to him or he would take it. Slowly he walked along; here and there idling away a few minutes until, when night had gathered all its darkness and lighted it with its full bright moon! he reached the town. Avoiding notice as much as possible, he made his way to Maple Street and selected a dark corner on the steps of the church from which [ 36 ] he could watch for the approach of his prey. A short time passed, then the clock in the tower above sounded forth the hour, and Tim knew that he had not long to wait. “Damn that moon that it should shine to-night, he angrily muttered and then as a sneer played on his lips he half laughed, “Providence, a fair providence that would guard one man and would not lend another aid. 1 11 oppose them both and when it’s done I’ll laugh at providence. As the angry smile left his lips he saw a figure turn the corner of the street and move slowly toward the church. It was old Mr. Carter, enjoying the summer moonlight as he strolled along toward home. Tim crouched low on the step and in his hand he tightly held his leaden club, wherein alone lay justice. The old man moved on and when he reached the church he stopped, looked through the doors, which Tim had not noticed were opened, and then at the clock in the tower. Tim was almost within arm’s reach of him but was waiting for the more oppor- tune position when he had passed to the other side of the steps. Old Carter, hesitatingly, looked again through the open doors and then started to move along. Tim crouched like a tiger, ready to spring upon his prey in the next moment, and then—Music! One soft chord echoed in the empty church room, and then another, and more, sweet sounds of royal birth that wove themselves in perfect harmony, grew sweeter, richer, more divine and filled the whole church ’till the golden mel- low strains drifted out into the summer's quiet midnight air and blended with the moonbeams. The organist was at his practice. Old Carter stopped again and listened, the happiness of all was reflected in his honest face. The rough quarryman was at first rigid in his crouching position, then gradually his limbs lost their tension and he arose unconsciously and dropped his club. The music had gripped him with its enchantment. Its magic workings had passed through him and had touched the tender chord that set is heart in tune. The old man smiled and passed along, but Tim remained, standing before the open doors. Me could not move and would not. It was all new. It was divine. He felt that it was his soul’s ascent to Heaven, God knew that he had been born again. All had been revealed. 1 le had listened to God’s perfect harmony, nature, man and music, and was now a part of it. The world was fair. God was not unjust; but it was man that robbed him- self of happiness. He gave to everyone alike, all that he had, the most that man could wish, the universe, his perfect work of nature and all that man could find therein. Man bought it all with appreciation. Money was but the invention of man. Wealth was not measured by gold, but happiness; and happiness was the harmony of all of God’s great creation. Tim kneeled before the open doors and thanked the Giver of a timely Provi- dence. and went away with his desired share in the world which all men own alike. II. MORTIMER SMEED.

Sous of West High,staunch and loy-al, wmm 11 'f f i p f FTr Editorial The past year has been one of great changes for West High. A new prin- cipal has taken office, and two great factors of our school life hitherto have been eliminated. Mr. William Bennett has succeeded Mr. Herbert Weet as principal. Mr. Wcct was appointed Assistant Superintendent of Schools last spring, but he remained with us until the close of the term, Mr. Bennett entering upon his new duties in September. Mr. Bennett was formerly the head of the physics depart- ment, and his knowledge of the routine of the school and his acquaintance with many of the pupils made him singularly fitted for the place. Mr. Weet is a remarkable man, with abilities far above those of the average principal, and to some of us it seemed that no one could ever take his place. Mr. Bennett has done so most nobly, however, and as time passes we realize and respect him for the able way in which he has taken command. Football was abolished last spring, by order of the Board of Education. There was much dissatisfaction expressed at the time, but no real loss was felt until the fall, the football season. Then how we missed it! After a year or two other activities will have taken its place, but this year everything else seemed slow. The fact that football had taken such a large place in our thoughts, inter- est, and time was the main reason for its disfavor with the authorities. All true, no doubt, but a bitter pill to swallow, and we earnestly hope that if football in any form is ever taken up again by the Rochester High Schools, it will be in moderation, so that we, who will be alumni then, may see a few more football games before we-die. In January of this year fraternities and sororities were abolished from the Rochester High Schools. Too much has already been said on this subject for us to offer our opinion. As in football, the depressing effects of this decree are felt most strongly this year. Next year there will be no sororities nor fraternities at all—everyone will be on a common footing again—elections will not be retarded by the fact that some students arc not eligible for candidacy—and truly, that will be a happy time. The period of revolution through which we are now going is inevitable, and by far the most practicable way out of a difficult problem. Surely it would seem, at casual thought, that we have much to make us gloomy and pessimistic. But we realize that the suffering—it is really suffering for some of us—which we must now undergo is only temporary. The benefits to conic in the future arc innumerable. Older and wiser heads than ours have thought of this, and it was for the sake of the students yet to come to the Rochester High Schools that those seemingly harsh decrees went forth. The Board of Education gained noth- ing when football and the fraternities were abolished. It was not done to dis- tress us, nor to test our patience. There must be present ill for a few hundreds in order that there may be future good for many thousands. The Senior Annual is published under a new plan this year. The publications of former classes have been uniformly successful, except on a paying basis. This year the Juniors have taken the business management of the book, hoping that, having more time than we Seniors preparing for graduation, they may be able to assist us, and incidentally, institute a custom to be continued hereafter by all Junior classes. This Senior Annual before you illustrates most satisfactorily their success. [ 66 ] The Year’s Dramatics A Senior Annual would be incomplete without, at least, a cursory glance at the year’s dramatic activities. In accordance with the custom started in 1909, there were only two plays this year, with the result that they were probably in point of attendance and presentation the most successful senior and junior pro- ductions, respectively, that West High ever witnessed. As usual Mrs. Chas. S. Ellis personally directed both of them. Too much cannot be said of her excellent work in getting up these plays, which bespeak her efficiency in this line of work. On December ninth, the seniors presented “Tom Pinch, an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel of “Martin Chuzzlewit. Although the play was a difficult character study, there was not a dull nor lifeless moment in it. From the rise of the curtain to the final encore the play seemed to grip the audience and held their attention as few amateur performances do. This can be attributed to the hard, conscientious preparation the cast put in. I shall tell about the boys first, even if the girls did get all the bouquets. The leading male parts of Tom Pinch and Mr. Pecksniff were ably taken by Frank Schoonover and Herbert Brigham. George Fleckenstcin played the role of John Westlock with rare accuracy and understanding. Leland Stilwell was very effec- tive as “Old Martin Chuzzlewit. For the girls, Josephine Weis and Jeanette Kies divided honors in the roles of Mary Graham and Ruth Pinch. t Miss Jean Moore and Miss Edna Kuhncrt gave an almost perfect impersonation of Pecksniff’s daughters, Charity and Mercy. Miss Charlotte Paul made a very satisfactory maid. y Next in order came the third year play on May fifth. “The Twig of Thorn bv Marie Josephine Warren fulfilled all the expectations it had aroused. A sweeter or more lovely play is seldom seen. The scenery and costumes were everything that could be wished for. The entire cast seemed singularly well fitted for their roles. Music played an important part in the production. An Irish lilt, that took the audience by storm, was danced in the second act. Those sweet, haunting mel- odies of old Ireland linger in one’s memory long after the play itself is forgotten. The plot of two lovers suing for the same girl’s hand, was told in a delightful manner by fairy creatures, who lent a charm to the atmosphere of homely Irish life. We hope that future plays will be as deserving of praise as was “The Twig of Thorn. The winning of the Amherst Alumni Cup by the famous Miller Trio seemed to us a sufficiently dramatic event to warrant notice here. [ 68 ] CHAS. H. STOKER.

[ 80 ] The Year’s Activities As we look hack-over the several activities in West High for the past year we can not help but congratulate ourselves upon having teams and fellows who have always upheld that spirit of fairness and sportsmanship which has heretofore been so prominent in West High. Last fall, football was abolished in the High Schools for at least one year, and so the interest and support of the student body turned to the basketball team, one of the strongest and most successful teams in the history of the school. I'lie basketball schedule opened on Thanksgiving with a victory of 56 to 7 over Batavia. Next followed Brockport Alumni, Albion, Keuka College and Canandaigua High School, all being clear victories for West High. From this point, during the next three games, either the wrath of the gods was turned against us, or the opposing teams were more skillful players, for we were thrice defeated. Nevertheless all were close and hard fought contests. Again the men rallied and we started toward the goal of victory by defeating Batavia for the second time. Next in order came the games with Starkey, Brockport and Lafayette, and then lastly the all impor- tant game with our sister school, Hast High. All the fellows practiced hard for this game and were quite inspired by seeing a large crowd turn out to cheer them to—defeat. West High held the aggressive in the first half of the game, but the weight and size of the East High team soon told and slowly we were left in the dust and when the second half closed, defeated by quite a score. Thus endeth a most praise-worthy season of Basketball. The condition of the ice last winter prevented much of a showing by our hockey team. Two games were played with East High and one with Lafayette High School of Buffalo. All were victories for the other fellows but in spite of this fact much praise is due the team for their efforts and gameness. During the winter the track team organized under Captain McBain and worked hard for the dual meet which took place with East High. But lo! for some unaccountable reason we did not come out as well as expected, leaving East High again a victor over West High. Not long after this occurred the annual inter-scholastic meet at the Armory between several different schools of the state. In this meet West High came out third best, being outclassed by the East and Lafayette High Schools. [ 82 ] While it has no direct connection with the school track team, yet something ought to be said about a track meet which was held between the boys' study rooms of the school. Room eleven was the winner of this and earned as a prize a large banner given by Scrantom and Wetmore, which now decorates their room. An activtiy which has not formerly appeared in the years’ write-up, but which in reality deserves a good share of the support and praise of the student body, is debating. No one ever realizes the amount of work a team does in preparing for an interscholastic debate until that person is on one of the teams himself. This year there were three debates scheduled. A boys’ debate with Lafayette, one with East High and a girls’ debate with East High. So far only one has taken place, that with Lafayette which resulted in a close decision for the Buffalonians. Two contests remain and thus far the prospects are good for a well earned vic- tory in each case. At present writing the baseball team has just been organized and is prac- ticing hard every afternoon intending to make a name for itself. The fellows are working under the captaincy of Herbert Benzoni, otherwise known as “Rip,” and are showing good form. From present appearances there is no reason why we should not have a mighty favorable season. One activity which has not as yet attained prominence in the school but which is steadily increasing in importance, is chess. Though perhaps some are ignorant of this fact, we have some crack players in the chess league who have scored vic- tories over some of the best junior players in the city. And finally as the close of our school life draws near we cannot fail to feel proud of and reverence most highly this school, our Alma Mater, both as an insti- tution of learning and one which is made up of students who maintain clean sport. Let this ever be the reputation of West High School. ARLING D.

[ 92 ] Chess Team Class Room and Corridor Drifting The moss covered rock, on which I rested, was one of many along the shore and the tall pines, just behind, threw their glassy images on the cool still water. While thus occupied, in an attempt to appreciate the charms of nature the hoarse chatter of the holcyon rang out with startling sharpness, as he perched on the shattered branch of an oak tree, some forty feet above the water. At this moment he dropped from his perch and swooped down into the water, immediately rising with a shining fish struggling in his beak. This incident served to distract my attention from the mystery of the rising sun to the surface of the water. The kingfisher passed from view but the lake spread its shimmering silvery veil wider and farther, until there in its midst shone the shadow of a bark canoe drifting— drifting—drifting with its prow turned to the sun’s eye and the soft water lapping at its sides caressingly with the greeting, “Whither oh brother, whither away?” Lifting the string of fish from the water I turned to the day’s duties, but the image of the drifting canoe and the query of the waves clung to me during the dav. ✓ At dusk I returned just as the sun was setting its purple for the coming of darkness. There lay the tiny craft still drifting—drifting and still the waves sang their query. A shaky form rose in the mist with these words: “A life without a purpose is like a ship at sea without a destination.” How sad it is that we of the younger generation cannot decide what our mis- sion on this earth is. What a great deal more of good we could derive from our work if we had a purpose. This applies most emphatically to those who are at present pursuing their high school course. We are at just the stage when we ought to have some plan to guide us in our work, some end toward which to strive. We might just as well try to make a success of life without a well defined plan, as to try to dig the Panama canal by pounding on the Crater of Vesuvius. Although this is not supposed to be an article on the most advanced theories of education, it is intended to point out the common sense way of going at things applied specifi- cally to starting out in life. One of the greatest faults with those of us in high school is that we do not plan our work ahead. The average student thinks of nothing but getting the required seventeen points for graduation with the least amount of work. Of course, a great per cent, of our number never aspire to a college education but even so, a careful and wise selection of the elective subjects will help toward anyone’s betterment. Put the point is that unless you have a pur- pose in view you cannot make the careful and wise selection of electives and there is no incentive but of getting the seventeen points required for graduation in the easiest possible way. Ambition is the product of an aspiration, a striving for a purpose. It is the lazy man who has no purpose. In the simile I tried to draw between the man without a purpose and the drifting boat you saw what became of the boat. It made practically no progress and was subject to the will of any exter- nal force. To be able to be independent is a credit to anyone but it must be remem- bered that this is only accomplished with the aid of a goal. Whv is it that we have so many of these purposeless beings? For the same reason we have drunkards and criminals. It is a weakness in human nature not to see the thing which is bound to hurt one. You want to know why, being unde- cided about your future life or without, in other words, that definite plan which you will pursue in after life, why it is going to hurt you. The biggest reason is just this: Existing for any time without a purpose is just as good for you as playing Rip Van Winkle. The fortunate man lives about seventy years. The first twenty-five years are spent in education. Take a moderate guess of five years for the time needed to “get started.’’ He is now thirty years old. Nearly [ 94 ] half of his life gone and he is only just “started.” Most men are not able nor willing to work after they are fifty-five which gives the average man twenty-five years in which to accomplish his mission. From this do you consider it worth your while to spend your four years of high school life and two years, at least, of your college life in aimless staggering? All that is wasted thus might just as well be added to the time required to get started.” It pays to have a purpose. Some say, “Well I’m not going to college. All I have to do is to get a job with some friend. I’ll be all right.” Do you want to be an elevator boy, a bookkeeper, a stenographer or something of that kind ? Why not be an officer in a bank or some- thing worth while? Half of the men in these professions to-day never were in the grounds of a college while the majority of the other half have been there only by accident. But this does not hinder them. These positions were acquired through years of hammering at a certain spot or purpose and when the shell was broken it was easy to get the meat. After this rather lengthy statement of the facts let’s get a little optimism in our veins and see why we should have a purpose and how to get it when we want one. To have a purpose is to know what you are doing, what you are going to do and why you will do it, to be able to do otherwise, or in a word, to have per- fect control over all your actions and the ability to concentrate them toward a definite end. Business men have their plans and they live up to them. Having a goal permits of concentration and it is an old truism that concentration is the essence of work. Now let us suppose we have convinced our young hopefuls that a purpose is a good thing and that not to have one is a bad thing. What will their purposes be and how shall they be selected? Due consideration is most essential. Con- sideration of what ? Any important decision—and that is what your purpose is— requires consideration. What is the thing to consider? The thing to be con- sidered is what profession you have the greatest affinity for. If you have a ver- satile nature this may be hard but there must be some thing which you like. It may be that this embodies another of your “hobbies” so to speak. You at the age of a high school student say you don’t know enough to select your plan for vour future life. You can’t see what you like best? What an admission. I might say “when I was a boy,” etc., etc., but I’m afraid it would be better to put FIXIS right here. The fact is that such men as John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and many others, merely seized the opportunity, having at the time no purpose or hopes of their future success but they are bad examples, one of the proverbial thousand which more often means ten thousand. However, we have scores of men who as Webster, Clay, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Edison and Commander Peary have always striven for an end. I say, perhaps, “Take what you like best” and you say “I want to be a professor but there is no money in it.” We hear of people so often giving up worthy objects for just such reasons. Were you placed on this “crystal orb” for the sole purpose of becoming rich and benefiting yourself alone? NO! Life is a mission. When you live for yourself alone you are not living a life and you are living a joy ride to perdition. Take the trade you like the best and you are sure to be right. Get your purpose fixed in your mind early and prepare for its realization from the start. The earlier the better. There is nothing like a careful and thor- ough preparation. When you have this you are ready for the tough part of it, the siege of Success Mountain. Disraeli said, “The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” The constant dripping of water on the same spot of the hardest stone will wear it away, and if you have selected a purpose you like and are will- ing to stick to your purpose you are bound to win. Decide early, stick to your purpose faithfully and you will surelv attain success. FELIX A. ELLIOTT, Jan. T2. [ 95 ] Stic. IN MEMORI AM. OUR CAPTiWG who hath lead HIS MEN ON TO VICTORY. He’s Wise !'.

He had a White master who was Sterner than was necessary to his slaves. One day he tlew into a Paaschen, and threw a Block of wood at little Paul. Paul’s big Rownd eyes Snapped; but, although he could scarcLtv Hold en, he said nothing. That night he ran away. He took with him Polly, the parrot, a Weis old Byrd, who looked even Wiser when he winked his big Green eye. Paul intended to get to Canada by way of Niagara Falls. He walked many a mile, and reached Buffalo on Easter Day. An old colored woman saw him walking disconsolately along, and said, “Ma honey, what makes you look so Solom on this bright day? Don’t you hear the Ga bcls ringing, and the Easter Carrolls in that Church over there?” Paul told her his sad story, and she took him to her home. AfterWard she loved him Moore and Moore, until he came to Be all the world to her, and she adopted him. At the close of the war lie became a Freeman. [ 99 I Our Assemblies During the past year we have enjoyed many assemblies, almost every one being of great interest. We have not only been honored by the visits of well known men, but also with musical assemblies, furnished by the Tuesday Musicale, our own musical clubs, and our own singing, under the leadership of Mrs. Casterton. The ladies of the Tuesday Musicale have been most generous this year, giv- ing us a program once in every month. We appreciate their kindness in doing this for us, and are glad to learn, by such a pleasant means, about the great mas- ters and their works. Our glee clubs and orchestra have favored us with several selections on dif- ferent occasions. The orchestra assists Mrs. Casterton in our regular Tuesday morning “sings which have been a delightful feature of the school year. Lieutenant Alzua, an officer of the Mexican army, was one of the first to visit West High. He and Mr. Silsby gave us an interesting fencing duel. One of the greatest treats was to have Mr. Weet with us again for two of our assemblies. He was with us on Lincoln’s birthday and read for us “A Per- fect Tribute.” Mr. William Owen, an actor, gave us a talk on the religious side of “The Merchant of Venice.” Mr. Hawn of Brooklyn gave us his views on the inclination of most elocution teachers to exaggeration. Mr. Clark, the father of one of our former teachers, gave us a most interesting lecture, with pictures, on Africa. Mr. Castle, the assistant dean of Harvard University, was here with Mr. Adler of our School Board. “Noodles’ Fagan, a newsboy actor, advised the boys to make use of their educational advantages. We were given one or two cheer practices, when the volume of sound was quite equal to the old football times, showing that we still have the spirit which West High may always claim. Exchanges l'lie Occident has exchanged school papers with over sixty high schools all over the United States, during the past year. None of them contain any adverse criticism of our Occident, and among some of the very favorable comments we find the following: The Tattler—The Occident is one of our best exchanges. New frier Echoes—Your stories are interesting, and your editorials are well written. The Congress—A very neat and complete paper. Keramos—Very striking cover designs. Optic—A joke department would complete the Occident. In class-meeting: “We will now take a standing vote. All those in favor of this motion raise your right hand.” [100] West High Stars in Well Known Plays Little Miss Up-to-date Miss Innocence The Chorus Ladv Mile Mischief The Little Ladv The Princess The School Girl Votes for Women A Morning Ride Way Down East Wildfire Alveretta Green Clothes A Self Made Maiden Little Miss Fix-it Salvation Nell White Sister The Fair Co-ed The Slim Princess Sweet Sixteen (?)

It has been proven that a dry, antiseptic shampoo powder cleanses the hair as thoroughly and is more beneficient in its results than too frequent use of soap and water method. It is only necessary to sift it on the hair and scalp, then rub the scalp vigorously with a Turkish towel and brush the hair thoroughly. This most beneficial anti- septic hair powder will cleanse the hair and leave it sweet, clean, light and fluffy. Two sizes, 25c and 50c. For sale by all druggists.
