West High Day West High Day, the most important social event on the school calendar, was celebrated on February 24, 1912. This West High Day differed from past days in purpose only. The same good fellowship, the same large crowd were present. The enthusiasm for West High Day was so powerful and unanimous that it early became apparent that there was a real demand for it among the stu- dent body. The purpose was changed; in the past it had been necessary to raise money, now our financial standing is so favorable that the chief aim became social. With this purpose as the end it was no longer necessary to spend days in preparation. For the past two years we have used both Exposition and Con- vention Halls, this year we needed Convention Hall only. The music for dancing, which was the chief attraction, was furnished by Dosscnbach’s orchestra. An innovation that was tried was the tagging of our alumni with their class numerals. This was received so favorably that it will doubtless be con- tinued in tlie future. On the whole our last West High Day was one of the most pleasant that we have held. It was very satisfactory both socially and financially for we cleared about $300. We hope that many West Days as pleasant as our last will be held in the future. Arbor Day The class of June 1912 have this year set a precedent in the planting of trees on Arbor Day by the graduating class. Such a custom serves a double purpose, first as a means of beautifying our campus, and second as a fitting memorial of the class. The shade of trees has been a long felt need and as each succeeding class plants its tree, within, perhaps a short time our spacious lawn may be converted into a shady grove where students may prepare their Latin and Greek next to nature. Perhaps in the shade of the spreading branches of the two oaks planted this spring, on Arbor Day, 1922, the class of June 1912 may gather on its first decennial reunion. Who knows? 10
