Gillies I.ltho. Printing Co. Rochester, N. Y. THE SENIOR ANNUAL Published by The Class of June, Nineteen Thirteen West High School twrjMv mr - rvr«- ROCHESTER, N. Y. hi Dedicated to Mabel Moore Allis HOM, THROUGH HER ENTHUSIASM IN OUR WORK AND COMRADESHIP IN OUR PLEASURES, WE REGARD NOT ONLY AS A SKILLFUL TEACHER AND A GRACIOUS WOMAN, BUT OUR SIN- CERE FRIEND. WE REMEMBER WITH GRATITUDE NOT ONLY OUR DAYS IN HER CLASSROOM, BUT ALSO THE HOURS WHICH SHE HAS ALWAYS CHEERFULLY TAKEN FROM HER OWN RECREATION TO MAKE OUR HIGH SCHOOL LIVES FULLER AND HAPPIER. 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, But 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. West High School Alma Mater Our Alma Mater’s praises With grateful hearts we sing, And for her loving watchcare, Our true devotion bring. Refrain: We hail thee Alma Mater, And in our song of praise, Would thank thee With affection, For many happy days. Thy spirit of deep wisdom, • Of justice and of truth, Has given inspiration To dreamy hopes of youth. So from thy halls of learning Reluctantly we turn, Fond thoughts e’er cling about thee, In memory’s golden urn. A life well spent we owe thee, In seeking honor, fame, For truer, deeper impulse, Comes when we breathe thy name. FLORENCE NEWELL BARBOUR. 6 West High School The Faculty Bennett, William M. ..

Convention Hall only was engaged for the dancing; and there Candy, Soft Drink and Ice Cream Booths were erected. Schenck s Orchestra furnished the music for the dancing. The doors opened promptly at half-past one, the usual hour, and from two until three, the orchestra favored the early arrivals with popular music. Then at three o’clock, a basketball game with Genesee Wesleyan Seminary took place in Exposition Hall, in which West High was the winner with a score of fifty-two to thirty-three. This game was an innovation and attracted many people. After the game the rest of the afternoon was spent in dancing. Because of the fact that it was Washington’s Birthday, in the evening many dressed in colonial costume and the opening dance was a grand march led by Martha and George Washington. Prizes were awarded to those who wore the most attractive costumes, and these were won by Miss Marion Henck- ell and Mr. Joseph Hudson. With this march the ball was opened and from then on until eleven o’clock the floor was crowded with merry dancers. When the music ceased at eleven, all hurried for their wraps, and West High Day was over for another year. The Freshmen Reception This year a new custom has been instituted at West High, that of hold- ing a reception for the parents or guardians of the students. This reception was held so that the teachers might become better acquainted with the par- ents, some of whom they might otherwise never meet. On April 4, from eight until ten, the school was thrown open for inspec- tion. From eight until nine, each teacher was in his or her own room and was pleased to meet the parents as they were introduced by the students. Several classes were in session, for instance: Mr. Gray had a gym class; there were boys working in the Physics II Laboratory; and in the business department, typewriting and other classes were in progress. The next hour every one adjourned to the library and corridor, where the reception was continued. In the library, punch was served, and in the Assembly Hall there was music by the school orchestra. This innovation was welcomed by quite a number of the parents; and as this was only the first of a number of receptions that will be held during the school year, it is hoped that at subsequent receptions the families of all the stu- dents will be represented; so that they and the teachers may become acquainted. In this way the parents will come in closer touch with the school life of their boys and girls. 10 Class Officers President: Byron Marsh. Vice-President: Marie Brewster. Secretary: Robert Meinhard.

I know not, nor does it matter— But on a mountain’s height That overlooked the world, I stood And to the left and right I saw go on around me Life, with its surging might. And, as I looked and listened In wonderment not small, “Come sit thou with me here, my child, And I will tell thee all.” When seated on the turf beside, These words his lips let fall: “Life ever is a mystery And more so to the man Of years, than to the little child . Whose playful ways we scan; A mystery which may not be solved In the space of one brief span. “But History repeats itself And then repeats again, And what has been we see lived o’er Within the lives of men, And what is now, again shall be Lived over once again. “For instance”—and his hand he waved To hordes upon his right— “These men went forth in days long past And fought a goodly fight, Nor sheathed their swords to any call For valor, strength or might. “Still are these battles being fought Nor shall they cease, While ignorant and oppressed ones Need succor and release, Tho’ other weapons now are used In this the reign of peace. “But ever on and upward Humanity shall climb, Tho’ hard the hewing of the steps Within the walls of time. 14 Still valiant souls and brave there be In every age and clime Who give their time, their strength, their all, And thus become sublime.” Then quickly turning toward me He said: “Oh! linger not! Within the busy, toiling world There must be some small spot Where thou art needed, go and seek Nor say you find it not.” So with quickening step I hastened From the mountain top away, Resolved to find and fill my place In the world’s work of to-day; And the spirit of the vision Shall remain with me alway. CORNELIA FARRINGTON. Class History % If the superstitious believe that there is something unlucky about the num- ber thirteen, they will have to grant that the precedent has been broken in the case of the June thirteen class; or if they are very stubborn, at least they will admit that this class is the exception which proves the rule. At any rate our class is the first class of thirteen to be graduated from West High School and it has certainly not been any less lucky than other graduating classes. But then we must not count success as due to luck since we all know it cannot come with- out good honest effort. However, we must not boast of our success without showing some facts to prove our claims, so we will proceed to give an outline of the achievements of the class in the form of a history. In September, four years ago, we entered West High for the first time. Of course the surroundings were strange and the work different from that to which we had been accustomed, but soon we became used to the new order of things. In our Freshman year, we at least accomplished one thing of note, that is, the winning of the baseball championship for our class, besides learning how to conduct a class meeting in Parliamentary form. After we had safely passed through the trials and testings of our Fresh- man year, we gave the Sophomore Dance in the corridors, according to the usual custom. On that night the library and corridors were decorated with ferns and flowers until every thing presented a festive appearance. At night, the people began to arrive and soon the halls were alive with pretty girls. The dance was informal and thoroughly enjoyable throughout. Then we entered upon the duties and pleasures of the last two years of our course. Two of the members of our class, John Remington and Glenn Ewell, made the team to debate Lafayette in the high school at Buffalo. Do you remember the outcome of that debate? Well, rather! And the boys weren’t the only persons winning laurels in the debating line. Cornelia Far- rington and Hazel Kemp were on the team to debate East High. This year the Girls’ East High Team had as members Hazel Kemp and Margaret Coleman. The boys’ team against this same school was made up of three members of our class: Glenn Ewell, Randall Matson and John Rem- ington. 16 The greatest social event of our Junior year was the Junior Prom held in Sibley Hall, which proved the ability of the class in that line and foretold the. success which the Senior Dance had, given in the same Hall a year later. In athletics our track team won the championship in their Junior year and Raymond Montgomery, a member of our class, won the tennis champion- ships of nineteen eleven and twelve. Our first attempt at dramatics was in giving, “The Teeth of the Gift Horse,” a delightful comedy and remarkably well presented by all the mem-; bers of the cast. Having shown the ability of the class in dramatics by the Junior Farce, we naturally decided to give a Senior Play. 1 he first question was, “What shall we give?” After much discussion and many misgivings as to its success, it was decided to give a Greek play, as nearly like the ancient Greek drama as present conditions would allow. The Alcestis of Euripides was decided upon, a shorter play than most that the Greeks used to give. Then people used to come from great distances and sit ail day to listen to the dramas; and while we don’t desire to cast any reflections on the politeness of our people or on their ability to sit still and lis- ten to something worth while, nevertheless, in this century of hurry a play of two or three hours is sufficient. Well, finally the cast was chosen and they did some good hard work get- ting ready. Beside those who had speaking parts there was the Greek chorus which told the events in song. At last the eventful night came and the Grecian chorus entered to the melody of the harp. Then the whole drama was given. The production was declared wonderful and it had to l e presented a second time. Such a thing had never before been attempted in any school in Rochester and its success proved a fitting climax to our dramatics in West High. In the last term of their Senior year, the Class of June thirteen decided that they ought to have some more good times together before leaving their Alma Mater. As a result, Marjorie Willis was chosen as chairman to make arrangements for this. It was planned to have some sort of a good time each month. In March, a party for the girls was held in the Gym, in April an infor- mal dance in the corridors for the people of the Senior class only and in May, a boat trip on the river was enjoyed. Miss Willis proved an able and original leader of these entertainments of various kinds. These are the most important events that the class as a whole has taken part in and carried through successfully. But we cannot overlook the general tendency toward good scholarship throughout the four years. The average, on the whole for June thirteen was one of which we may well be proud. Four years of high school passed! Let each one look back and see how short these years really seem now. Why they seem very much shorter looking back over them, than they did four years ago looking forward to them! Thus it is always, each day and each week seems so long in which to accomplish things but if we let them go, suddenly we find that the weeks have passed and our opportunity is lost. On the other hand if we do our work as we should do it and at the time when it should be done, then we will not be sorry to see the weeks go by knowing that we have done our best. Soon the class of June thirteen will leave West High School and in the words of our Alma Mater, “Far away, on life's broad highway, All will fortune try, Still our loving hearts will cherish Thoughts of thee, West High.” « MARION VIVIEN GUNSON. 16 ON PHOTO. C Class of June 1913 Editorial In every Annual that has been published since the opening of West Highj there has been expressed, in one form or another, the regret of the outgoing class at the prospect of leaving our school. The class of June 1913 is no excep- tion and as the sun of our high-school life is sinking low upon the horizon, we experience the same feeling of regret that the other classes have before 11s. When w e were freshmen, we believed that four years were an eternity of time and never gave the matter of graduation a thought. Now as we stand poised, ready for the start into life, we realize how care-free is the life that we have been leading when compared w ith what we must expect hereafter. We realize that we have virtually grown into the school and that it will mean a wrench to leave it. The occasion is bound to be one of the saddest of the part- ings that arc in store for each of us. Our great consolation is the thought that we are now a great deal better prepared to meet the problems of life than we would have been had we never spent these four years so profitably at old West High. In the past, a great deal of interest has been shown by West High Stu- dents in the game of Chess, and for a time there was even a Chess Department in the Occident. West High has always been represented by strong Chess Teams. Several times when competing with much older teams, they have narrowly missed w inning the championship of the Junior Chess League and for the past two years the cup for individual championship has been held by West High players. Hitherto, Chess lias not been recognized, under the constitution, as a school organization and the teams have received no insignia. This spring, however, the matter was brought up in the Executive Council and. after a dis- cussion, that body approved the plan of making it a school activity and appointed a committee to frame an amendment to the constitution. On April 25, it was submitted to the Students’ Association and was passed unanimously. Chess is now a full-fledged activity and a pin, probably similar to the Occident and Debating Pins, will l e awarded, so that our chess-players, in addition to their desire to bring honor to the name of West High, as they have in the past, will have another spur in knowing that the school will give them some token of its appreciation of their efforts. 18 Shortly before Christmas of last year, there occurred one of the most interesting and most unique events of the year. It was in the form of a Ger- man Christmas Festival and was given by the higher classes in'German, under the direction of the teachers of that department. The girls’ gymnasium, in which the party was held, was appropriately decorated with reproductions of the escutcheons of the German States, and set with a number pf small tables about which the students sat in true German fashion while they enjoyed the program which was rendered. This included a folk-dance, several quartettes and solos, a sketch and a talk by Mr. Miller, all in German. This program was followed by refresh- ments which included, among other things, real German Christmas cakes. The party was very well attended, the gymnasium l eing crowded with students and parents, and indeed a number had to be turned away owing to the limited capacity of the hall. It is planned to hold the next celebration in the Assembly Hall so that all those who are interested may be accommodated. It must be said that the affair was a marked success, especially when it is taken into consideration that it was the first time that anything of the kind was attempted at West High. Next Christmas, it will be more pretentious and probably even more successful and it should in time come to be one of the most important and most eagerly-awaited events of the year. This Spiing has seen the development of a new musical organization, the West High School Choral Union. It was organized in January simultaneously with a similar movement at East High. The idea was first proposed by Mrs. Elizabeth Casterton, our supervisor of music, who wished to offer to the pub- lic a capable rendition of favorite operatic selections. About four hundred students joined the new organization and at one of its early meetings officers were elected and an advisory lx)ard chosen. Then work was commenced in earnest and when the time came to show the results of that work, the public was given a rare treat. Two programs were given in conjunction with the East High Union, the first on April 5, and the second on April 10, during the Child’s Welfare Exhibit and the Convention of Music Supervisors. Both programs were very well received and showed the results that can be achieved by steady practice. All those who sang in the Choral Union enjoyed it and probably feel that they have been l enefited by it. It is to be hoped that if this worthy activity is revived next year, it will be as well or even better supported than it has been this year. 19 -Scholarship of Class of June 1913 Another year has been added to West High’s history and another class, that of June 1913, is about to pass into the alumni of the school. Nothing very extraordinary about that class more than any other, is there? Let us look over the records of the previous classes and compare their relative percent- ages in scholarship. We find that of the members of the class of June 1906, 27.4 per cent, was eligible for commencement honors; of 1907, 13 per cent.£ 1908, 22; 1909, 19; 1910, 12; 1911, 14; 1912, 18.5, and of the class of June 1913, 26.7 per cent. We are proud to think that we belong to a class that excels in scholarship. The various sports are fine, so are debating, dramatics; and music, and to excel in any of these is a good thing, but to excel in scholar- ship is the topmost rung of the ladder. Important as school activities may be, they must give place to scholarship. The primary reason of establishing high schools is education, and it is that reason that prompts many to go there. The students who realize why they are going to high school are likely to be the ones who will excel in scholar- ship, but they are too few; too many belong to the other class. So, have we not reason to be proud of having so many students in our class, that have been faithful workers throughout the four years and can now present records above all reproach not only when examined with the naked] eye, but also with the microscope ? Activities may 1 come, Activities may go, But scholarship goes on forever. Honor Roll Faith Adams Earl C. Karker Myra Seymour Barbour Lieschen Langenbahn Marie Brewster Ethel Rose Lannin Leon H.

Wilcox Donald Hershey George Willis � Letitia Eloise Young AN APPRECIATION My acquaintance with Miss Young began in the fall of 190O when I assumed my duties as principal of the Rochester High School on South Fitz- hugh Street. The principal's office in that building was on the second floor and it happened that Miss Young’s room was next to the office. As the prob- lems of the year presented themselves, I turned to her for advice; first because she was so near, and later because I came to find her suggestions so helpful. We continued as neighbors for three years in the old building and I en- joyed unusual opportunities for seeing her work. During those years her program consisted entirely of first year classes in Latin and Algebra. I found that she was anxious to take the same pupils in these two subjects, which are naturally hardest for first year pupils, because she felt that by meeting them twice a day and along two lines she was enabled to understand them better and so to teach them more sucessfully. This undertaking involved double preparation on her part, but from this she never seemed to shrink. Her patience and tact in dealing with her pupils at this most trying time in their school lives; her absolute devotion to her work; her marked success in starting pupils on their way through the school was so evident that it was no unusual thing for me to receive urgent requests from parents whose boys and girls were entering the school that Miss Young might have charge of their children. Again when we began' to plan for the new East High School I recall how frequently her suggestions were helpful and how keen was her interest in the whole problem of the school. We worked together at East High until the opening of West High deprived me of her services. But the final verdict as to her life work does not rest in the words which I may write here; it rests in the grateful memory of those boys and girls, former pupils of hers, now become men and women. As I meet these men and women and hear so often their sincere expressions of gratitude for what Miss Young did for them, I am again assured-that the verdict on her life’s work is: “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. 21 Albert H. Wilcox. o a m bk «torn lE li “It is better to give more ‘taffy during life, than so much epitaphy after death.

No, surely ’tis a man and yes,—a Princeton man at that.” As quickly as the last word was spoken, Janet Huntington seized her paddle and the canoe darted forward toward the opposite side of the lake where a man in an orange and black sweater was paddling. No wonder his appearance excited her so; for ten days she and the other girls of the house-party had seen no man except Mr. Winston, the farmer who supplied them with milk. “I wonder who it can be; his sweater is exactly like Bob’s: he paddles like a Princeton man, too. I’m going to find out.” Her mind made up, Janet paddled with all her might. The lake was not very wide and in a short time she was within a few yards of him, presently she would lose her paddle and call upon him for assistance. But he looked around, saw her paddling toward him, turned and swiftly made his way to the shore. Upon landing, he gave her one glance and then ran off toward the farmhouse. “Well of all things!” exclaimed Janet as soon as she had recovered from her astonishment. “So he doesn’t want to meet anyone. He’ll meet me, how- ever, for I shall go for the milk every time until he does.” Thereupon she recrossed the lake and springing lightly from the canoe ran off to the girls playing tennis on the lawn. “Betty, Betty Reed, what do you think? I just saw a man. He was on the lake and when he saw me he ran just as fast as he could to the house. Who’s going for the milk with me ?” “I.” called the three girls on the court. “All right, but let’s hurry,” cried Janet. “Jan, what did he look—Didn’t he even”—“Perhaps it was Mr.—,” “Oh, isn’t it simply fine to—, Here is the pail, Jan.” “Girls, if you wouldn’t all talk at once I might tell you about him,” cried Janet. As they crossed the lake Janet told them that the only thing she noticed was his orange and black sweater. “O, he is most likely Mistah Winston’s son and his cousin from New York sent him the sweatah fah Christmas,” remarked Ruth, as she dipped her hand in the water and settled herself more comfortably among her pillows. “There certainly will be a beautiful sunset and we shall just be returning . in time to see it, if you two don’t paddle faster. O, dear, I’m getting hungry,” moaned Mary and unpinned her panama that she might the better lie down. Betty and Janet talked excitedly as they walked through the orchard to the house and Ruth and Mary began to wonder, and finally became more excited than the others. They rapped and rapped at the door but no one came except the great setter, who had become their friend. Just as they were growing impatient a man came from the barn carrying the milk pails. He was very tall and broad shouldered, his overalls fitted as poorly as possible and a slouch hat was drawn far over his eyes. “Come for the milk? Mr. Winston’s went to town or I’d bring it over,” he said. 88 “Yes we have come for the milk. Three quarts please ' answered Janet. “Three full quarts, if it does not inconvenience you. Yesterday we found the milk a pint short.” It was Ruth who offered this suggestion. She watched ! him carefully as he measured it. Mary wandered alxmt making remarks upon the untidiness of the yard and how campers were always imposed upon. She had come to see some won- derful man and he had proved to be merely a farm hand. She was greatly disappointed. “Come, girls, we must hurry back. They will be waiting for us 4 as she spoke Mary took Ruth by the arm and sauntered leisurely toward the canoe. “Charge this to Mrs. Allen, please, and save two dozen eggs for us to- morrow ’ Janet said as she took the milk. “Well, that was a nice trick you played on us, Janet Huntington, bring- ing us out on the water in this sun. Why, I won’t dare show my face when I get home, it will be so burned,” Ruth sputtered. “Youh man proved such a gallant and courteous Princeton man, Jan,” drawled Mary, “I am sulie he is a great friend of youh brother’s.” “I don’t care, he’s got a perfectly great chin anyhow,” snapped back Janet. “Good chin! Why it is ugly. Just like your bull-dog's. Don’t be stub- born, Jan, he certainly is awful,” Betty cried and cut the water furiously. “Appearances are often deceiving, you know,” with this Janet ended the discussion. The other girls soon forgot the fruitless trip, but Janet was stubborn. She wrote her brother but he could in no way help her and said that orange and black sweaters were very common and might even be found in the Maine woods. Whenever a visit to Winston’s farm was necessary, Janet went One day as she was pushing the canoe into the water Ruth came rushing to her. “Jan, 1 just got a letter from Patience Arnold and she is having a delight- ful time in the Berkshires. The first of the month Tom Wellington was there. I wish I were there. I'm just crazy about Tom.” “I didn’t know you had ever met him,” Janet remarked, not stopping in the arrangement of the caq et. “O. I never have, but we’ve seen his picture lots of times haven’t we, Mary?” “I should say so. Why everybody’s crazy about Tom. You’ve even got a picture of him yourself, Jan,” cried Betty. Without an answer Janet paddled away. She was going to pick berries. When she reached the Winston landing, the farm-hand met her. “Mighty nice weather we’re havin’. Looks sort a like a thunder storm though.” “O, no! I’ve got to pick enough lorries for eight people, you know,” Janet settled her hat more seemly as she sjx ke and they fell to picking. As they picked he explained to her all the advantages of farming and also how he desired to go to college that he might be a lawyer and help his folk. “I’m astudin’ nights, hopin’ sometime the crops’ll be extry good and paw let m’go,” he told her. “But you can go, if you really want to. I am sure you ought to go for you have great ability. YVe need good ability. We need good honest lawyers very much and of course that is what you would be. Yes, you must go. I 87 will write Bob for a catalogue and he could write you just how much it costs and how you could earn money. Everyone ought to go to college but----------- Janet stopped short and began picking busily. “But what?” he asked. “O, nothing.” “But what were you going to say,” he insisted. “Well I was going to say that sometimes it spoils a fellow. O, I know you are too strong minded for that, but just for an instant I thought that such a fine man with your good looks might be so popular he would get conceited.” “I’d be too busy astudyin’ for that.” “O! but sometimes they find those fellows and get them on a team; and they make good, and the fellows praise them and then the girls begin to look at them and finally they think they are the only pebble on the beach. Why I know just such a fellow and only just to-day the girls were mentioning him, Tom Wellington. He is a friend of my brothers but O! so conceited. Wherever he goes he is bored to death. The girls annoy him so, always running after him and waiting to be introduced. O, I hate that kind of man; hair combed just so, nightly massage, trousers creased perfectly, silk hose to match ties. Mercy, 1 wonder what he’d look like in your overalls. It is silly of me to tell this to a man of your strong power and character. Why you would be the most popular man because you were so simple and straight-forward. But I must go now. If I come to-morrow will you show me the calf?” she asked. “Certainly, and it would be honored,” he answered. As she stooped to pick up her pail a letter fell from her pocket and a picture. “That is my brother and there is the man I just told you of. Isn’t he con- ceited? Of course that is better looking than he is, a picture always flatters that kind of man,” she remarked as he handed it to her. “Good-bye,” she called as he pushed the canoe off. The next day farmer Winston sent the hired man to Mrs. Allen’s with eggs and vegetables. As he came around the corner of the house he found the girls on the lawn. In the hammock lay Ruth and Mary, looking beauti- fully cool in their voile dresses. On a cushion sat Betty writing a letter. Janet was standing before them and at the moment speaking, “I just hate Tom Wel- lington. He is my idea of the worst kind of stick. He parades around look- ing like a fashion plate and sometimes if they are dressed extremely well con- descends to speak to his intimate friends. I never heard of his doing one sin- gle thing without great applause.” “O, Jan, youh just jealous because he cut that dance with you,” Ruth remarked. “Well I said then I’d get even with him and I will.” “O, Janny deah, he is perfectly lovely. Why don’t you say these things to his face?” Mary asked. “I have.” “Why, Jan, you’ve never met him,” Betty informed her. “How do you know?” threw hack Janet and turned around and there stood the hired man taking it all in. “Good afternoon,” she said. The others turned and upon seeing who it was turned up their noses and looked away. 38 “I suppose that he is the kind of man you admire? One who can’t speak one sentence correctly and certainly resembles anything but a fashion-plate ’ challenged Betty. “He heard every word you said, Betty. Yes, I do admire him. I hap- pened to see him before I spoke but as I had mentioned Tom Wellington to him before, I wanted him to see that I meant it.” The next day was spent in preparations for the departure which was to be made early the next morning. Janet had gone to Winston’s to pay the bill and had said good-bye to the farm hand. “You will go to college, 1 know,” she said, and don’t worry about what I said about being spoiled. There is a striking likeness between you and Mr. Wellington in appearance but in character you are extremely different.” - “You don’t know how pleased I am to have met you,” he answered. Janet gave him a quick look and paddled off. At ten o’clock the next morning, the house-party boarded the train for New York. As they passed through the car a man, very tanned and wearing white serge trousers and a blue coat, cut in the latest fashion and perfectly pressed, stood up and as Janet seated herself addressed her. She looked at him and then said: “Why, Mr. Wellington, this is certainly a pleasure, but I really think that the serge is more becoming than khaki.” The girls looked from one to the other. Ruth, Mary and Betty blushed as they recalled their remarks. Betty first spoke: “Little snip, she knew who he was all the time.” JANE KING SALTER. 89 ExecutiveTCouncil Mr. Bennett .......................................................President .Montgomery Diamond.....................Vice-President and Presiding Officer Harold Barbour.....................................................Secretary Music Committee Marie Brewster Florence Osborne Orton Lannin Robert Meinhard Mrs. Ellis Literary Entertainment Committee Sheldon Thomas Raymond Archer Leslie hunt Mr. Si as Finance Committee Glenn Ewell Harold Barbour Charlotte Fredericks Mr. Cook Athletic Committee Kenneth Masters Charles Chase Laura Olmstead Barton Sedgwick Mr. Gray Dramatic Committee Leo Media hail Glenn Ewell Xella Webster Mrs. Ellis School Publication Committee John Remington Kenneth Brown Robert Coates Angie Cobb Gladys Tozier Miss Curtiss 40 Executive Council Treasurer’s Report September i, 1912 to May i, 1913.

Great as the former classes and the present graduating class may seem, still there’s more to follow—more great classes to enter our Alma Mater and more now within her classrooms. Particularly do we make reference to the class of 1914,.which we find grouped in yonder picture, one hundred or more bright and intelligent-looking Occidentals. Looking over the picture we are reminded of the abilities of the various members, as shown in the many activities this class has participated in. Let’s see! There’s Oscar Metz, who knows, among other things, how to extract blood from a stone when it conies to raising money for the Young Men’s Christian Association. Those who saw W alter Folmer in the Junior Play are convinced that all the great actors are not dead yet. When it comes to knowl- edge we find that Kenneth Masters has enough of it to uphold the standard of W est High. “Want to buy an Occident? Only ten cents.” Yes, that’s one of Kenneth Brown’s duties, after he had done some associate editing, and if you want to see another thing he has done, read carefully the latter pages of this book. May we ask just one question? Why are Foster Faragher, Bob Winchell and Gus Baltzer gripping those books so tightly? Then, of course, we must not forget George Taylor, our soccer and track exponent, and if we are not mistaken, he knows what an ad. looks like. ‘‘Is Mr. LeMessurier in the Assembly Hall?” No, not when this picture was taken. See how unnat- ural Clyde looks seated anywhere but on a piano stool, where he manipulates the ivories in all his glory. Did you ever tell a story? No? Neither did George W ashington. But did you ever write a story like Elizabeth Mullen? No, we think not. Yes, dancing is good exercise, and didn’t you have a good time at the Junior Prom? Certainly, and you thank Loretta Feinberg and her committee for that. And here we C A quartette of four maidens—Anna W’hitheck. Alice Paddock. Anber Benedict and Charlotte Fredericks—well known for scholarship. But look you at Carl Allen having an exhaustive argument with Harold Kondolf about his soccer ability, and Eloise Smith nearby proving to them that their arguments are alx ut as weighty as the air they breathe. Now must we give place to our distinguished athlete Kenwood Block, for what can he not do in his line? Then we see Harold Barlxwr, who very kindly consented to have this lx ok published. He’s the busiest business man in the class, and it’s a mystery to us how he ever found time to jx)se for this picture. Therefore, since we have not even as much time as Harold, we will say no more about this illustrious class of 1914. 44 Class of 1914 Class of 1915 The class of 1915 is an illustrious one in many ways and is ably repre- sented in almost all the school activities. In athletics we have Charles Chase, Paul Smith, our soccer man, and Charles McCray, who won first place in the high jump in the meet with Mechanics1. The council members of this class are Florence Osborne. Angie Cobb and Robert Coates. Give Robert a pen. and how he can write; we have bright hopes for his future. Florence also is a writer and has contributed many fine things for the Occident. Among those who are striving to keep scholarship above the ordinary average are Florence Chittenden, Ruth Vianco and Mildred Benedict. They, certainly are stars when it comes to translating Caesar, expounding Geometry and doing all the other delightful tasks assigned to them. In the musical line we have Hazel Smith, our wonderful young violinist, who will later complete her musical education abroad. Hazel is leader of the orchestra, and well does she fulfill her duties. Marion Carr is also a member of the orchestra, which we all wish we could hear oftener. In conclusion we must certainly mention the pretty little Ilenckells who cause much confusion because of the similarity of their looks. Well, indeed, has this class entered into our school work and activities, and may they continue to keep up the fine record they have begun. 46 ci6i jo ssvh3 Class of 1916 Although the members of the class of 1916 are still underclassmen, they have already become quite active in school organizations and promise to become a class famous for the activity of its members. t The scholarship of the class is fairly good. In looking over the cards we find Wendell Tompkins’ is well dotted with As, and that those of Wallace Church, Alma Haessig and Maida Judd follow closely with the number of As. Perhaps it is unusual for such a young class to have members on so many of the school activities. Every Monday morning a large cello may be seen coming across the campus with Arthur Munson in anticipation of the orchestra rehearsal. Gerald Baglin is also a member of that organization and performs upon the violin. Soccer football, which was introduced just lately at West High, has claimed several members of 1916 for its own. Certainly with such sturdy fellows we may build up a team for the future that will hold its own with all our opponents. Soccer is not the only form of athletics in which 1916 is represented, for any afternoon Kenneth Cooper and Meddleton Congdon may be seen diligently, practising for the track team. 1916 as a whole has exhibited considerable school spirit. It has given evi- dence of being an energetic body of students and when they become upperclass- men the name and prestige of the school will undoubtedly be in good hands. 48 Class of 1916 Class of 1917 When the class of 1917 entered the portals of West High for the first time one wintry morning in January, with their school-bags at their sides, we were delighted to see among them two more McGhees, of that famous family whose members have so long adorned the halls of our school. There was the fifth of the Kellers, a strapping, sturdy fellow, a marked exception to the rule of the diminutive freshman. At last the old Latin Grammar which George, Carl, Alex and Susie used has come down to Bert and he is having a jolly time? digging out his paradigms. During the past term the class has been conspicuous by applauding vocifer- ously in assembly upon the slightest provocation, by scooting unexpectedly around comers arid into dignified upperclassmen, and by playing in the corri- dors and studyrooms every game from tag and baseball to target practice. We, the famous class of June 1913, cannot go from West High without leaving a word of advice and warning to the class of 1917. Ye Freshmen, ever more diminutive in stature, perceive the great respon- sibility that ye bear as a dass of the West High School! Already have ye shown great intellectual ability, for Louise Kondolf, Edith Crennell, Ruth Strong and Mildred Smith have been surpassing bright in Miss Crennell’s fourth .period Algebra dass, and Mrs. Ellis freshman English class is said to be a marvel at assimilating the History of the English Language and at writ- ing hair-raising themes. But know ye, this is not enough. Ye must not be mere grinds but must strive to uphold the honor of West High by fighting her battles. Here may ye take an example from the illustrious class of June 1913, who in the past four years have covered themselves with glory in every activity. Ay, we grant ye this is a hard example to follow, for this class of 1913 has been such an eminently distinguished one and has become such an integral part of West High that when it departs, the school will have to be closed—(until September). But be ye not dismayed. It is always well to hitch one’s cart to a star and although ye may not be able to reach the dizzy heights of fame attained by the dass of June 1913, ye have the same splendid opportunities that we have had, and as good material as ever came to West High School. i 60 Class of 1917 Classroom and Corridor In leaving our Alma Mater for the world, two questions confront us: What is the greatest thing in life and what is my work to be? The one who can say truly that he is “Ever unsatisfied, Never dissatisfied” has started out right toward solving the first question. Is there a difference between unsatisfied and dissatisfied? Yes, indeed: “Ever unsatisfied; to be that is a spur to everyone not satisfied with the present life because it is not. high enough; to have higher idea’s and ambitions; a person with such feel- ings. such thoughts, is unsatisfied—he lives and glories in the fact that “Too low they build who build beneath the stars.” But dissatisfied; to be discontented; not to use the tools at hand but to long constantly for something different yet doing nothing to make the differ- ence-can a worse poison enter into one's life? Has not the man or woman who has discovered that “When one is contented there is no more to be ? desired,” discovered the greatest thing in life? But the other question, what is my work to be, is the one which we must answer at the start. Everyone of us who thinks or aspires or has anything to him worth while has ideals and ambitions toward which he is working. We may lose these as we grow older but one of the best parts of youth is that we have plenty of these at the start. And this is right for “We should turn our eyes to the stars, But keep our feet on the ground.” Although we may be unable to reach the stars or attain any of our ideals, still we can strive for this. And if, after striving, we are unable to attain our highest, shall we be dissatisfied or unsatisfied? When we have to work at irk- some things instead of accomplishing our ambitions, what will our feelings be? Yet, wherever our work lies, in pleasant or unpleasant places, we can be happy because we are doing the work which that Power above who shapes our destinies would have us do and because we know that is our work, perhaps our blessing in disguise. The work may be small and of little significance and we may not realize its importance, yet as Milton says, “They also serve Who only stand and wait” so we may be serving by doing insignificant things. Now whether we achieve the great things of life or whether we are among those who “also serve” we can do our part in this world if we will only be happy in our daily work. Stevenson says, “A happy man or woman is a better thing to find than a five pound note.” We all know that this is true for it has 63 been proved again and again. Our own Miss Young proved it every day she was with us. We do not know that she had realized her ideal but whoever came near her took away her spirit of happiness and content. Then in our home life it is proved daily. Although mothers may not be good housekeepers, if they are happy, the home is happy. Mrs. Wiggs was such a mother. If then we give out this spirit of happiness every day in our daily work, we will be richly rewarded, for after all we always get back just about what we give, and we will find ourselves satisfied with whatever work we are doing. Then a great content will come to us and we will feel at peace with our work and say with Henry Van Dyke, “Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market place or tranquil room; Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, ‘This is my work; my blessing, not my doom; Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way.’ Then shall I see it not too great nor small, To suit my spirit and to prove my powers; Then shall I cheerful greet the laboring hours, And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall At eventide, to play and love and rest, Because I know for me, my work is best ’ MARGARET COLEMAN. 63 I Assemblies j There have been held many fine assemblies during the past year front which we have gained much pleasure and profit. We have been very fortunate in having so many prominent men both from out of town and from our own city to address us. Early in September, Dr. Rust spoke in the centennial assembly about the changes in Rochester since 1812. He told of the great increase in the pros- perity of the city and its development along educational lines. A few weeks ago at the time when the meeting of the Yale alumni was held in the city, several visited the school. With them were Professor Phelps. Professor of English Literature at Yale, Mr. Henry H. Ketcham. captain of the football team, and our friend Howard Cumming. Professor Phelps deliv- ered a very inspiring and interesting address in which he told the secret of true happiness. He said that the “happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts.” Professor Phelps continued to say that one of the chief benefits of a good education lay in the fact that we would be enabled to think interesting thoughts and thus be happy. Then Mr. Havens addressed us briefly and after him Mr. Ketcham. Mr. Howard Cumming spoke about the advantages to be had at Yale and the opportunity offered by the scholar- ship which is given by the Yale alumni of the city. Mr. Waite, a gentleman who has had a wide experience with young peo- ple, spoke to us recently. He explained a certain law of plant growth. He said that there were three conditions under which life and growth were possi- ble, the minimum, when life can scarcely exist, the maximum, when the plant is forced so that real growth ceases and the optimum, under which the plant flourishes best and reaches its highest development. Mr. Waite then continued, applying this law to our own lives in a very interesting manner. Shortly after this, Professor Brown, a forester of the New York State School of Forestry at Syracuse University gave an instructive speech on the preservation of our forests and the prevention of forest fires. His lecture was illustrated with pictures showing the principal points in the work. On Arbor Day we had with us Dean Baker also of the New York State School of Forestry. He spoke specifically of the situation in the state. Fur- ther he explained the courses offered by the school and the work which is being done throughout the state. He said that professors were speaking in the schools of the state so that the boys and girls might come to realize what an essential part of the economic development of the state the forests play. Before Dean Baker's address the Volunteer Quartette entertained us with several selections. Recently Mrs. Yates, as a representative of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, and Mr. Ogden of the Sons of the American Revolution vis- ited the school. Mr. Ogden gave an address in which he made a plea for greater patriotism so that we might regard with deeper reverence the heroes who fought so bravely that we might enjoy the advantages we now possess. Again this year, we have enjoyed the privilege of having the Tuesday Musicale concerts. At each concert one or two of the world famous composers were taken up and representative works of each presented so that we might acquire a knowledge of the best in music. We greatly appreciate the gener- osity of the members of the Musicale in giving so freely of their time and talent. Throughout the year Mr. Bennett has given us much valuable advice and instruction upon various subjects. Since the revision of the constitution of the Students’ Association their meetings have been called at regular intervals in the assembly. The assemblies this year have been very fine. The benefits derived from these semi-weekly gatherings are far reaching. Not only will they help us at present but we will be influenced by them in after life. The Year’s Dramatics When we look back upon the plays that have been given at West High during the past year we can congratulate ourselves upon the fact that another round of splendid achievements has been added to our record in the dramatic line. As has usually been the custom, two plays have been given, one by the Seniors and the other by the Juniors. Mrs. Ellis in directing both plays added another laurel to the collection which she had already won in pre- vious years, by virtue of her .unremitting, whole-hearted efforts to make both ventures successful. As to the results, suffice it to say to the unenlightened ones, if there be any, that the plays were two of the most successful, in both a dramatic and financial sense, that West High ever produced. The Senior Play, the first to be given, probably marks an epoch in the history of high school dramatics. The play chosen was the ancient classical Greek tragedy “Alcestis of Euripides, undoubtedly the most difficult under- taking in the dramatic line that a West High class has ever set itself to accom- plish. It was given on the evening of Friday, January io, and was so well received that it was repeated on the following Thursday, both performances being played to large and enthusiastic audiences. The action of the play is as follows: Admetus, king of Thessaly, is doomed by the fates to die unless someone can be found who will die for him. His wife Alcestis is the only one ready to make the sacrifice and saves him, paying the price with her life. Admetus once helped Hercules when the latter was persecuted by Jove and now when Hercules by chance arrives and learns of the affliction come upon his benefactor, he determines to help him.. He departs for Alcestis grave and coining upon Pluto, as he is about to take her to the lower world, overpowers him and restores Alcestis to her heart-broken; husband. Glenn H. Ewell played the part of Admetus the king with the greatest sincerity and dignity. Leah H. Almstead as Alcestis gave a wonderful inter pretation of the part of the devoted queen and W Montgomery Diamond's- creation of the character of Hercules was one of the finest pieces of acting ever seen at W est High. The rest of the characters were all admirably inter-, preted and gave evidence of steady and conscientious work. A remarkable feature of the play was the Greek chorus and its music. The music was that composed for the play’s first modem production at Oxford in 1887. It was eminently Greek in style and very beautiful. The Seniors sang the long, difficult choruses very well indeed and are to be complimented upon that fact. Miss Hogan deserves a great deal of credit for the success of this part of the play. She worked unceasingly with the chorus for many weeks and the results of her labor were very gratifying. The scenery drawn by Miss See was admired by all. Miss See, Miss Allis and other members of the faculty did a great deal toward the play’s suc- cess and the class of 1913 thanks them for their interest in its ventures. 6 The atmosphere of dignified sorrow maintained throughout the play was remarkable for a high school production. The students seemed really to for- get themselves and to be transported back to the ancient world. All this points to the fact that West High can accomplish anything that it undertakes, even when the undertaking is outside the usual sphere of high school activities. The Juniors chose as their play this year the comedy “Two Strings to Her Bow,” by Mrs. Burton Harrison. It was given on Friday, May 16, and was successful in every way. The play deals with French life at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It represents the trials of a middle-class burgeois and his wife in marrying their only daughter. M. Dumesnil, the father, rather favors a young suitor by the name of De Luceval, who has asked for the hand of Cecile, but the latter’s godfather, M. Coudray, has another eligible person in view and naturally looks with disfavor upon De Luceval. Mean- while De Luceval calls upon Cecile, but the visit proves awkward and embarrassing for all concerned and the young man leaves dismayed. M. Dumesnil hereupon sends a letter of acceptance to the second suitor by Baptiste, a trusted servant. While the latter is away De Luceval returns and becomes a good friend of the family and naturally Dumesnil repents of his hasty action in accepting the offer of a man whom he has never seen, but the servant returns in a state of inebriation and imparts the information that he lias not delivered the message. This suits both the family and De Luceval and the play closes with the happy union of the two young people. Harold Barbour as Dumesnil played the part of the solicitor’s father with great effect and Florence Metz interpreted the role of the spirited Cecile almost to perfection. The part of the well-meaning godfather Coudray was ably taken by Walter Folmer, while the lucky suitor De Luceval was portrayed by Sheldon Thomas. Muriel Handy and Carl Allen took the parts of Madame Dumesnil and Baptiste the servant, respectively, and developed some clever bits of acting that gave rise to more than one laugh. There was not a lagging moment in the whole play. All the parts were exceedingly well acted with the result that the production must be placed high upon the list of our Junior plays. The large and appreciative audience thor- oughly enjoyed the performance and a goodly sum was realized as a financial recompense for the conscientious efforts of the class. 67 Senior Play Alcestis by Euripides The Everyman edition in English was used.

Our basketball team made a splendid record last season with seven vic- tories and only four defeats. The opening game was with Oswego High School and by a great second half spurt our fellows won by a score of 15 to 13. Next followed games with the West High Alumni, Genesee Wesleyan, Lafayette, and Albion. The only one of these which our team failed to win was with Lafayette High School. The big surprise of the season was a vic- tory against Brockport Normals, the only defeat the Normals received all sea- son. Mechanics Institute proved easy but we struck a snag in the game with St. John’s Military Academy and were snowed under. The second game with Genesee Wesleyan was an easy victory but Brockport took our measure on their own floor. Our last game was with our sister school, East High. Our team was well supported by good cheering, but we lost just the same. The fellows did not seem to show their best playing that night but we cannot dis- pute the fact that East High licked us and made a good job of it. The season of 1912-1913 will go down in the basketball records as one boasting of a good team, good records, and good loyal support.

There have been two great victories over Albion and Gen- esee Wesleyan Seminary with the work of the pitchers featuring. The latest game was the first of a series with East High and the Orientals took our measure. The schedule this season is a strong one and among the games are two with Auburn, one in Rochester and the other in Auburn. Whatever suc- cess our team has, to Mr. Gray will belong much of the credit for his able coaching. .Right Field Center Field .. Left Field ... Shortstop .. First Base Second Base .Third Base :...

Under the able coaching of Alfred E. Bliss and Captain George Taylor, a splendid team was developed. Although several games were lost to teams in the Saturday afternoon league, all of the contests with scholastic teams were recorded on the right side of the ledger. The first of these was with Genesee Wesleyan Seminary of Lima on our field and a victory for West High was the result, by a score of i to o. The following week our team journeyed to Lima and succeeded again in taking the measure of the Seminarians by a score of 3 to 2. The feature of this game wa the Lima field, where one standing at one end was unable to see another person at the op posite end and which had been used for a potato field earlier in the season. The last game of the season was with East High and our fellows played strongly throughout. At the finish the score was 2 to 1 with West High on the long end. Up to this time soccer had received little support from the stu- dent body, but the attendance of four or five hundred at this game showed that it is a coming activity in West High. May the soccer team always receive as good support and gain as good a record as it did in 1912. 68 Soccer Football Team Track Leslie Lunt ..... Charles Chase Charles Chase Randall Matson ..

The decision that cross-country running should be discontinued and the • fact that we had no indoor track team this winter seems in no way to have spoiled the chances of success for our out-door team. Although few veterans were in school to respond to Captain Chase’s call for candidates, a very good team is being developed through the efforts of Mr. Bezant. There seem to be several good men for each event and from the results of the meet with Mechanics' Institute, we will have a team in every way worthy to represent the school. West High took eight of the nine first places and overwhelmed her opponents. An excellent schedule has been arranged with several meets out of town and the annual one with East High. We all wish the track team the best of success. 70 Track Team m Hockey Randall Matson..............................................Manage!

This year the record was nothing to boast of although all our players did their best at all times. The reason, no doubt, for the poor show- ing was the failure of good support and the lack of a hockey coach. East High and Nazareth Hall defeated us but by far the best game of the season was with Buffalo Technical High of Buffalo. Our fellows played them at Buffalo, and only after the most brilliant playing of “Tech’' were they forced to succumb by a score of 2 to I. It has been promised that more will be made of hockey another year and we sincerely hope to have a team that will compare favorably with those of several years ago. n Hockey Team Girls’ Basketball Manager .Captain Madeline Snyder Mae Lannin The Team Loretta Feinberg...........................................Forwarqj Harriet Ziegler ....:.......................................Forward Mae Lannin .................................................

Leda Wilson and Mae Lannin developed about the best speed and team work of the sextette. Margaret Clarkson and Phoebe Kernan did splendidly as guards, holding their opponents down very well. Effie Dona’dson worked well at guard also.

Due to the delay of the executive council in granting recognition, the team was late in organizing. However, last year's team remains intact, with the exception of Elwood McAllister, and his place is well taken care of by Ellsworth Nichols, The team includes Raymond Northrup, the present champion of the Junior Chess League, and Howard Kemp, last year's champion. The East High match is yet to be played, but it is hoped that they will be as decisively defeated as in last year’s match. The Y. M. C. A. was defeated in all five games. The J. Y. M. A. match is still to be played and a hard tussle is expected. The members of the team express their gratitude to Mr. Wile, who has expended much effort in the organization of the Chess Club and in securing recognition for the team.

The club meets each Thursday afternoon in Room 47 at the close of school. In these meetings, subjects of general interest are discussed by the student members of the club. These talks by the members cover thfe fields of botany, physics, chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, geology, forestry, archaeology, etc. In fact there is no limit to the field of discussion. Occasionally in out- side speaker comes before the club. The club was re-organized during the first of this term, so that, as yet, not a very large number of topics has been presented to the club. All students in the school are eligible to become members of the club. No dues are re- quired and all that is necessary is to enroll your name with the secretary. At the first meeting temporary officers were elected and a temporary pro- gram committee was appointed by the president. The temporary officers were: Mr. Leon H. Buckler, president, and Miss Clara Ludwig, secretary. The program committee consisted of Mr. Edward Foote, Miss Irene Walsh, Mr. Everett Burhans, Mr. Earl Strowger and Mr. Leslie MacDowell. A consti- tution committee was also appointed. Those on the committee were Mr. Stoughton, Miss Clara Ludwig, Miss Genevieve Metzger, Mr. Chauncey Bur- ritt and Mr. Coon as faculty advisor. , At the next meeting, the constitution was adopted and a talk on the “His- tory of Early Science” was presented to the club. At the third meeting of the Club, a second article on the “History of Science” was given and the officers were elected. The officers are: Mr. Leon H. Buckler, president; Mr. Henry A. Moyer, vice-president; Miss Clara Ludr wig, secretary, and Miss Margaret Coleman, treasurer. A permanent program committee was appointed at this meeting also. The committee is composed of Mr. Edward Foote, Miss Irene Walsh, Miss Genevieve Metzger, Miss Ruth Roworth, Mr. Everett Burhans and Mr. Leslie MacDowell. Since these first meetings the subjects discussed have been: The Sig nailing Systems of the U. S. Army; The Conservation of Water Supply of the Genesee, and a very interesting talk on the Dictograph by Mr. Adams, the sales agent for the Dictograph Company in Western New York. Plans are under way to have the Club visit the Eastman Kodak Company at Kodak Park and also for a trip or two down the river gorge to study the rock forma- tions and look for fossils. The Genesee River bed through Rochester is a profitable place to study rock formations and fossils as is recognized by the leading geologists of America. It has also been decided to hang a pendulum in the stair-well, from the top of the building to the first floor, to demonstrate the rotation of the earth on its axis. The officers and committee members are nearly all seniors and so will not be in school next fall, but the vice-president is a junior and he will call the first meeting next fall and start the wheels moving. It is very earnestly asked of all to come to the club next year to keep a good thing going. Leon H. Buckler, President.
