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 6 West High School The Faculty Bennett, William M................

Tis four long years, but ah, how short they seem; For midst our joys and sorrows, yea our fears, The time thus spent seems but a fading dream. With eagerness and joy you’ve watched the light Of knowledge, as it dawned upon our sight. And now, dear Mother, gratefully we bring, For thou hast surely guided us aright. Our best to thee, a modest offering. Within our hearts no other holds such sway; For when despairing we would fain giv’n way And cast ourselves upon the treach’rous reef, Your standard bright shone like a beacon ray, Inspired hope and brought us sweet relief. As soldiers in the strife we have been strong, When failures ever round us seemed to throng. We've onward pushed to this victorious hour, E’en though thro pitfalls we were led along. And gained our goal through Perseverance's power. In these eventful years, that backward lie. The truth of this great thought we did descry— Progression’s not the beaten path to wend, But the new untrodden one to try And, in defeat, to none but success bend. Now joyfully, yet sadly, we depart Out in the world, each one to do his part. And, though our walks in life divergent be, Thy memory we ll hold within our hearts And oft in praise our voices raise to thee. New faces we have met, new friendships found That we shall cherish as the years roll round. And, when we chance to think of days gone by, Recalled shall be the sacred tie that bound Us to these friends, and this, Our Own West High. DOROTHY DISNEY. 4 Class History , ls June again—June of the year 1914, and the last year of our high school life is drawing to a close. The four years have been filled to the brim with the activities of a busy, happy life. We look back upon them with pleasure and with something of regret in leaving them behind. It was only four short years ago that we were Freshmen, as timid, little and insignificant, or as big, fat and mischievous children as the Freshmen who wander about our halls to-day. How our Senior brothers and sisters smiled when the girls became lost in the boys’ study-rooms; and how they laughed when we rushed into recitations and tried to save seats for our friends in the last row of study room desks instead of marching into our places on the recitation benches! However, we soon became accustomed to the life of the school, and began to enter into its activities. In baseball, our newly formed team took the class championship. At our first class meeting, in the second term of our Freshman year, nearly all the class was present to elect its officers, and in their enthusiasm all wanted to talk at once. In our second year we had an informal dance and “get acquainted” party in the girls’ gy mnasium. Later in the year we gave our Sophomore Dance in the corridors of the building. This, our first real undertaking, was a great success. Next we were called upon to exert our dramatic ability. We were Juniors now, respected Upper Classmen, and we were determined to keep up the same high standard in dramatics, which the classes before us had raised. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Ellis we presented a play called, “Two Strings to Her Bow.” The parts were well taken by everyone in the cast and the play was thoroughly en- joyable. During our Junior year, too, we held our Junior Prom in Sibley Hall. Everyone who was there remembers the evening with pleasure, and can testify to its success. The first three years of High School life passed quickly, and almost before we realized it, we were stepping into our places as Seniors. The short dresses and “pigtails” of the girls had vanished, and the boys had grown a foot or two. Since our Junior play had proved such a success, we entered with confidence into plans for the Senior play, George Eliot’s Silas Marner, dramatized by Mrs. Ellis. Walter Folnier as Silas proved to everyone his genius as an actor, and the play was declared one of the finest ever presented in the school. Our Senior Dance was held in Teall’s Hall, in co-operation with the January Class. The music was excellent, the hall beautifully decorated, and although the proportion of the class present was rather small, those who were there had a delightful time. Aside from its social life and its dramatics, the class of June, 1914, has always been well known in athletics, debating, chess, in the musical clubs and in all the activities of the school. With Wallace MacKelvey in basketball, Carl Allen in soccer, Harold Anderson in baseball, and George Taylor in track, as well as other strong and reliable men, our class has put forth its best efforts and has shown itself strong in athletics. In debating many of the class have been prominent, and to their concentrated - effort much of the school’s success in this line is due. Under the competent management of Sheldon Howell the musical clubs have flourished this year, and have given several enjoyable entertainments. Although the class is large, its average in scholarship is high. We have kept faithfully at our tasks through all the four years, and now we are nearing the end of our Senior year, the time when we shall leave our dear Alma Mater and part, to go in different directions. We shall be remembered in the High School by the memorial we are leaving it, but may we be remembered also for what we are—is the wish of the class of June, 1914. 5 ALICE MARION PADDOCK.

To 1915 Our high school days are almost over; Most of us have lived in clover, None have had to be content with hay. Leave all troubles far behind you, And allow us to remind you Time is slipping Very fast away. Nineteen hundred ten is history; Nineteen fourteen, yet a mystery; May the friendships of the past be ever dear! The best that we can wish you Is-8-” A happy and a prosperous career.” • 4 Editorials When one takes leave of the place in which he has been brought up, the old tamiliar associations cling to his memory while he is absent. Indeed they are ever more vivid than the associations of later life when these too are severed. Perhaps ecause atmosphere of the old surroundings has, from earliest childhood, influenced his every deed, and thought, has grown to be a very part of his nature. The Senior Class, in leaving their Alma Mater are, in this respect, like one leaving his childhood home. Each day that we have spent within the walls of West High has contributed its little share towards our nature and character in the general plan of education; not only in the learning of books, but in that broader education of the knowledge of life. Each day has added new warmth to our friendships. From each activity in which we have taken part we have drawn a deeper sense of loyalty to, and personal responsibility for, the honor of the school which that activity represents. Indeed we have grown to be a part'of the West High School. Now as we go forth into new fields that are “white unto the harvest’' of larger things, we do not feel that we are severing home ties forever. Instead we feel that we are going out into the world to show people what a West High student can be among men. And although we must leave our immediate associations, dear though they are now, they will be more endeared by absence and time. Wherever our life work takes us, still the influence of our life here will have engraved itself deeply upon us, and we will ever be proud to feel and say, “I am a graduate of West High School. Although the event will occur too late to be described in detail in this publi- cation, we wish to make mention of the beautiful gift that will soon grace our assembly hall stage, and of the exercises accompanying its presentation. On June ninth, as now planned, the Woman’s Relief Corps of the G. A. R. will present to the West High School a flag and standard. A patriotic pro- gram will also be rendered at this time by the student body and members thereof. It is the custom to have the most representative boy of the school act as the custodian of the flag, and for this reason the girls, despite their excellent scholar- ship, have not had the highest honor of their Alma Mater open to them. Very fittingly, therefore. Miss Anber Benedict has been selected as the custodian of the new banner. Each year hereafter it will be transferred to the girl that stands highest in scholarship. The justice of this arrangement pleases us all, in addition to the gratitude we feel towards the Woman’s Relief Corps for their more than gracious gift. They may be assured that when we look upon the flag we shall feel deeply a sense of loyalty to Our Country, to the men who fought to save her, and to the members of the Woman’s Relief Corps. That a great change in our school routine had occurred was evident, when upon returning after examination week, we found that our study rooms were sealed against us during vacant periods, and that we were at last going to be abb to really study, instead of reciting with the class in the front of the room. Owing to the newness of the system, it took a little time to round off the rough edges, yet seeing its value at once, we did not mind sitting two in a scat for a while. When our large hall was completed in Room 55, we certainly had no course open but to praise the wisdom and adoption of the new study hall system. 43 During the past year we have welcomed among our faculty several new teachers. At the beginning of the fall term, we found Mr. Boutwell in the Eng- lish department and Mr. Rourke teaching Latin in Room 11. Mr. Leighton also was in charge of the Physics laboratory, and the boys greeted a new helper in the gymnasium, our friend Mr. Watson. We found that Mr. Carpenter had come to us, bringing several suit cases of Intermediate Algebra and Solid Geometry. The new study hall system brought to West High Miss Ferguson, Mrs. Good- rich, Miss Lincoln and Mr. Wheelan. At the beginning of this term we welcomed Miss Merrell from Clyde, N. Y., into our Latin department. Mrs. Johnson is very ably taking Mr. Miller’s place in room 15, and owing to Miss Curtiss’ absence on account of the illness of her father, Miss Challice has charge of Room 16. The interest which she has taken in the English work is greatly appreciated by Miss Curtiss’ classes. The south wing of the building was for a time this spring without the presence of one of the girls’ best friends. Miss Manchester was obliged to re- turn to her home in Newport, Rhode Island, at Easter time because of illness. She fully expected to be back about the middle of May, but because of her father’s serious illness has been unable to return, and has been compelled to give up her work to the able management of Miss Crouch. This is the last term that Miss Felsinger will be with us in our English classes. After school closes, we understand that she intends to embark upon the Matrimon- ial Sea. Miss Felsinger has served both the students and the school, by her help- ful class teaching and her personal help, besides doing her share in our social events. We all extend to her our warmest wishes that her voyage may be one of lasting happiness, although we who remain as students will feel deeply her loss. We shall also be sorry to lose Miss Crippen for a year, because of her interest in all lines of school events. However, we wish her success in her journey and a profitable sojourn in “gay Paris,” and know that she will bring to us many new ideas that vtfill help us, even as she has done in the past. It is hardly necessary to remark about tree day because that occasion occurred so recently, yet we take pleasure in reviewing it for the benefit of those who could not be present for the exercises. After shortened periods, the students marched out of the building by classes, the Seniors first, to a spirited march played by the orchestra, and formed around an enclosure on the north side of the building. Here a very pretty and lively masque, written by Mrs. Ellis, was presented, using home talent in the acting. The idea of the masque was to acquaint man with nature and teach him to love her. Mother Nature, represented by Isabel Hollinshead, and the Poet, played by Walter Folmer work together to accomplish this end. Mother Nature sends the Child of Man, characterized by Dorothy Dis- ney, to gather her friends. Soon they come crowding, in great numbers, giving Mother Nature an opportunity of making herself known to them. She summons different spirits who dance into the enclosure arrayed in gaudy costumes first the Spirit of Flowers (Gertrude Sutherland), then the spirit' of Arbutus. The Spirit of the Sunflowers (Doris Belden), also enters, and the Spirit of the Chrysanthemums (Henrietta Burt). Last appear the Spirit of the Birds (Gladys Smithers), and of the Greenwood Tree (Charles McCray). Each spirit talks to the Children of Men, who are at length taught to love and protect Nature. After the Tree’s monologue, a quartette sang “Woodman, Spare That Tree. When the masque was over, the students assembled in front of the school around the tree which was planted. Miss Marion Henckell received the spade from Miss Eloise Smith, fitting remarks being made on both sides. 1 Finally, the student body turned and gave a salute to the Flag, after which they sang “America.” While they were disbanding, the Orchestra struck up the strains of our Alma Mater, and everybody joined in the song. 44 Ave Atque Yale It falls to me, to express for the Alumni and students of West High School, an appreciation of the work and character of one who is about to leave us. No employment would give me greater pleasure than to testify to the wonder- ful influence of this friend of ours, if it were not at the time of her leave taking. But, since this is also a farewell, the task brings with it a peculiar feeling of sad- ness. To those of us who have graduated, but who still retain our lively interest in West High School, this resignation brings a feeling of personal loss. It is, how- ever, to those who remain and those who are yet to enter our school that my real sympathy goes. For they are to be deprived of the great privilege and the rare opportunity that has been ours. Four years I was with Miss Crennell in her study room. To the boys of Room 12, in the Class of 1909, Miss Crennell was a teacher, a friend, a mother. She was interested in all our endeavors. In our successes, a source of inspira- tion and help; in our failures a source of comfort and strength. But Miss Cren- nell cannot be claimed by any one group or any single class. She has given her time, her thought and her energy to the advancement of the school as a whole. So what I affirm for myself and my classmates, I am in a truer sense saying for all of us. I cannot think of West High School without thinking of Miss Crennell, and I rejoice that in picturing my West High School this will never be necessary. Miss Crennell—you will ever live in our hearts, as the true, lovely, Christian woman, whom we all admire as a teacher and love as a friend. We will not say good-bye, rather, let us wish you God speed on the rest of life’s journey. Miss Crennell—you are leaving us now. But you go with the assurance that however far you may be from West High School, you will forever remain within the circle of our interest, our love and our prayers. John Milton Colt.

First is the quality of each individual member. There arc no poor ones among us; each one is a shining light in himself. Each one has an aggressive spirit for things which are rightj each one is awake to High School responsibilities. Though everyone cannot be at the head of the class at the same time, each one does his or her level best to do their part. It is this spirit, together with the mo'st generous cooperation of the faculty which has led to our successful Class activities. We recount briefly the most enjoyable dance which we gave during our Sophomore year, our highly com- mendable Junior Dance, and finally the pleasant, profitable and most enjoyable evening which we recently spent on May 22nd. As a Class, we feel most especially indebted to Mrs. Ellis for the unceasing work which she devoted to the Junior Play. It is impossible for us to repay her in any material way. To state it briefly, our Class in a few short months will be the first class in the school. We assume this dignity not with such a sense of pride that our heads are turned. We hope, that we may merit the respect due this high position, and we feel that we shall quickly prove our nobility. Concluding, we wish, in our last chance, to express our pleasure that we are •still to have a half year in West High, and we know that this last year will be the best year of them all. John G. Howard, President. Class of 1915—June President—Charles Lakenian Vice-President—Della Allen Secretary—Erie Remington Treasurer—Ruth Vianco The class of June, 1915 has been more active this term than any time here- tofore. With the combined efforts of the class of January, 1915 we held a Junior Prom at Sibley Hall which proved to be a great social success The scholarship of the class is particularly fine.' Grace Howell Florence Chittenden. Mary Hcrshey, Madeline Keith, Margaret Carrier, Mildred Benedict and Clyde Brockett are a few of our illustrious ones. In debating we are very well represented by Celesta DcSeck, who did so splendidly in the girls' debate with East High. ’ ° aia S0 Under the direction of Mrs. Ellis our Junior Play was a great success Charles S. Lakeman, President 52 ■j Class of 1916—January President—Mary Cowles Vice-President—Mildred Long Secretary—Robert Thomas Treasurer—Orton Lannin To the class of January, 1916, most ancient and honorable, the following facts are addressed: If, when gazing upon the beautiful picture supposed to represent the class of 1916, comparatively few faces connected in your memory with said class meet the eye, you must not suppose that, though not present in the body, each and every member was not with us in the spirit. For such is not the case. Unfor- tunately, however, a camera for taking spirit pictures has yet to be invented. If, when looking back upon the school year, you recall few class meetings, you must attribute that fact, not to the slowness of the class, but rather to the activity of its members, for we are so well represented in all branches of school activities that small time is left for those lesser affairs connected with our class. Mary Cowles, President. Class of 1916—June President—Casselman Hess Vice-President—Edna Raker Secretary—Alma Haessig Treasurer—Milton Woodams Although the members of the class of June, 1916, are yet under-classmen, they have already distinguished themselves in educational, physical and social work. In the classroom, Ruth Bentley, Merle Kolb and Arthur Munson are a few of those upon whom the scholarship of the class depends. The class is represented in the physical field by a large number of boys and girls. In the recent girls’ gymnasium meet, a large proportion of points were gained by its members. Thus far this semester, the social work of the class has been somewhat neglected, but it is expected that plans will be made for some such event later in the term. Casselman B. Hess, President. 54 Classes of 1916 Class of 1917—January President—Elmer Way Vice-President—Jesse Brohel Secretary—Arthur Cotton Treasurer—Rachel Messenger We have not been doing much this year as a class but we have been doing things individually as any teachers’ class book will show. A meeting of the class was held some time ago when Executive Council members were elected. Mr. Kintzel, Miss Horner and Mr. Way were chosen for this honor. Mr. Kintzel is now serving on the Dramatic Committee, Miss Horner on the Literary and Mr. Wav on the School Publications. The cla s is also well represented in both boys’ and girls’ athletics. tye have men in soccer, track and tennis, while our girls have been prominent in basket- ball and in the gymnasium meet. Elmer Way, President. Class of 1917—June President—Marjory Storey Vice-President—Elmer Mcrz Secretary—Richard Wegman Treasurer—Horace Thomas Though this class has been only a year in West High School it is already well known and distinguished in many ways. Ours is the largest class that has ever entered West High, but not in numbers alone is it prominent. In scholarship Elizabeth Shedd, Ada Mahan, Marshall Knox and Ellsworth Gore have shown great promise, while Gertrude McDaris and Silvia Hamalainen in the girls’ gym, and Richard Wegman in the boys’ have held up the standard of the class in athletics. What other class can boast of such twins as ours? Lillian and Loretta McCarty, and Elmer and Milton Merz seem to enjoy puzzling, not only their classmates, but their teachers as well. Those in the school who do not know our Nellie White are very few indeed. In a recent class meeting Catherine Robinson was elected Guardian of Honor for the Flag exercises June 9th. June. 1917, has started its High School course unusually well and may com- pare favorably, in time, with the Senior Class of 1914. Marjory Storey, President. 56 Classes of 1917 Class of 1918—January The Class of January, 1918, according to custom, has not yet organized and for that reason there has been no report of its work. It may be well, however, to note some of the future celebrities of this class. Among its members is Erwin SchoefFel, whose sisters, Winona and Mar- jorie, are esteemed alumnae. Helen Smith, Marvel Sherman, James Pulsifer, Helen Tobey, Nilda Masters, Ruth Loomis, Dorothy Heinrich, Lucy Gay, Marion Cushman and Ruth Seeber have each a brother or a sister attending school at present. One most active class member is Harriet Clune, the younger sister of our goo I friend “Bud. ’ In fact, we are inclined to believe that all are somewhat active, if we can judge by the wearied expression on Miss Ray’s face at the close of school on Fridays. That there are many brilliant students in this freshman class, is evident from the long honor roll in Miss Wetmore’s room. We hope that they may in- crease this roll steadily until January, 1918. s8 Class of 1918 Managers and Captains BASKET BALL BASE BALL Manager Kenneth Masters Captain Wallace MacKelvey Manager Captain Kenwood Block Harold Anderson SOCCER Manager Carl Allen HOCKEY Captain Leslie Lunt TRACK Manager Captain Norman Ulp Charles McCray Manager Captain Charles Lakeman Harold Barbour BOWLING 60 Managers and Captains SENIOR ANNUAL Bus.

S. Ellis The Year’s Dramatics After studying the plays of the most famous English dramatist during our four years, we have witnessed two of our own productions this year, the first by members of the Senior Class, and the second by the Juniors. Both of these were given under the careful, profitable supervision of Mrs. Ellis our sole in- structor in Dramatic Art. The Senior Play which appeared on Friday, January 16, 1914, was Mrs. Ellis’ own dramatization of George Eliot’s wonderfully interesting novel “Silas Marner. The dramatized version comprises three acts and seven scenes, and its thirty-two characters gave an opportunity to many members of the large Senior Classes to compete for parts. As the majority of us have read and know well this story, it will suffice to spend our time upon the participants and the synopsis of scenes. The first and shortest act is the trial of Silas at the Chapel in Lantern Yard, in which the minister, William Dane, and Silas are the most important persons. In this scene Silas is betrayed by his friend William and spurned by Sarah, his betrothed, after which he considers himself an outcast, and cursing God—leaves. Act two portrays the life at Raveloe sixteen years after Marner has settled there and earned a goodly living with his weaving. The dining room of the Red House occupies the first scene in this act and there is an altercation between S(|iiire Cass’ two sons, concerning money. Dunstan, the younger, was very amus- ing and a surprise to all, as his part was so far removed from the character of him who played it. The principal female characters arc introduced in the latter part of this same scene when Marner brings them a new piece of linen. 64 .. iPle, scene following this is a representation of the little one-roomed hut in which Marner, who is a miser, lives and works. He leaves in a terrible thunder stonn to get some twine and Dunstan Cass enters, takes possession of his hoarded gold, and decamps. Scene three of this act, the New Year’s party at the Red House, enlivens the play with bits of humor and an old-time Virginia Reel, after which Silas rushes in with Eppie in his arms. This is the climax and was well acted. The last scene in this act presents a room very different in appearance from the one in the second scene, forEppie is bringing new ideas into Marner s life. Neighbors have contracted the habit of dropping in, and as an instance of this, Dolly Winthrop, a friendly country wife comes in with a basket of cookies and some bits of gossip. The very last act occurs after another lapse of sixteen years, in which Silas’ gold is discovered and returned, Eppie and Aaron are happily mated, and Marner settles down to enjoy a life of ease. The final scene is in the garden of the Red House which Godfrey and Nancy now possess. After the successful draining of the pit and the subsequent finding of Dunstan, Godfrey confesses all to Nancy and the play is brought to a happy close. The Junior Play which was also directed by Mrs. Ellis, appeared on May 22, 1914, and was a rollicking Irish farce of one act, written by Lady Gregory. “Spreading the News” it was called, and was an example of what rumor can do with a simple story, aided by a deaf woman. The whole action transpires at the outskirts of a Fair, at the side of an Apple Stall—which is kept by the deaf Mrs. Tarpey. Jack Smith, by reason of his care- lessness, was the origin of the whole affair, for as he passed out of the fair grounds he left his pitch-fork; his friend Bartley Fallon ran after him thinking that he might need it, and the misunderstanding of Mrs. Tarpey starts the gossip. However, the whole thing comes out all right and it ends in a general laugh. The Juniors in the presentation of this farce gave promise of an equally entertaining Senior Play 5 Senior Play Silas Marner, by George Eliot. Dramatized by Mrs. Charles S. Ellis. Given in West High Assembly Hall, Friday, January 16, 1914.

Formerly this factor in the school curriculum has been neglected and has not been considered very important, but stricter measures have been adopted and now the majority of the freshmen are compelled to “take,” and the older girls form an advanced class, which is well attended. The activities this year started with a very successful tennis tournament, in which thirty girls entered the doubles and ten the singles. After a long interesting contest the doubles were won by Effie Donaldson T4, and Phoebe Kernan ’15, while Marie Redding 14, carried off the honors in singles for the second suc- cessive season. At the close of the tennis season, a hockey court was marked out on the lawn and the girls practiced until cold weather drove them indoors where the regular exercises were taken up. About the beginning of December the girls of the freshman class asked to have a Study Room Basketball League and their suggestion was immediately carried out, with the result that the five freshman study rooms practiced faithfully and formed very creditable teams. At the close of the winter term the games were played off, Room 42 winning the banner and Room 48 runner up. Early in the year it was decided that there would be no regular school team and the time generally taken up by its practicing would be given over to train- ing class teams. More than usual interest was aroused in these games and better teams than usual were formed. June 1916 with Katherine Kernan as captain, won the championship in a closely contested game with January T5, whose captain was Edith Taylor. Immediately after the excitement of the basketball games was over there were several strenuous practices for the Gymnasium meet which comes in the spring of every year. On April 9th, two days before the opening of the spring vacation, this meet was run off. June T6 and January '15 tied for first place with 25 ponts each. Anna Moesteroy, January 16, won the silver cup with a total of 18 points, and Sylvia Hamalainen was a close second with 17 points. Three girls, Katherine Kernan '16, Helen Yerger '16, and Ellen Pease '16, completed the re- quirements for the monograms, having won class numerals in three different branches of athletic work. After the Easter vacation Miss Manchester, because of illness, was unable to return, and although she has been greatly missed, Miss Crouch, who is substi- tuting for her, has carried on the work in baseball and in teaching dances for Tree Day, splendidly. Taking the year altogether it has been a most successful one, advancing the work in girls’ gymnastic training, and showing the great interest of the girls in this activity so necessary for their health. 88 Winners of Insignia WINNERS OF THE ORANGE “W.” Harold Anderson Carl Allen BASKETBALL Luel Johnson Wallace MacKelvey, Captain Fred Bachman Ralph Tichenor Kenneth Masters, Manager Fred Bachman, Captain Lehigh Hess Harold Johnson Howard Kemp Donald Morse Howard O’Connor SOCCER Barton Sedgwick Leighton Smith .

Democrat Chronicle .The Rochester Herald ...Union Advertiser ...The Evening Times ..The Daily Abendpost .............IT Tempo Comparatively few people in the city realize that the high school news which appears in the newspapers from time to time is written by high school boys. The general impression is that the stories are written by reporters who are assigned to the high schools. In a measure they arc right, for the boys arc assigned to high school news, but it is seldom that they are given an opportunity to display their ability in regular work. The Press Club is composed of six boys, each one representing one of the local papers. The club has always aimed to hold a banquet during the year in order to assure the members of the various teams that the reporters appreciate their work, although the articles which appear from time to time may not carry that impression. This year the banquet had to be given up. but the feeling between the members of the club and the athletes of the school has been most friendly. During the past year West High School news has been furnished the papers by Howard Kemp, Leslie E. Lunt, Harold Reilly, Richard Gregory, Page Mount- fort, and Charles Lakeman.. 1 he annual election of officers of the club is always an interesting event and this year it was very interesting inasmuch as the offices hinged upon the toss of a coin. The afternoon set for the meeting arrived and Howard Kemp and Leslie Lunt were the only boys to appear. As there is no constitution it was decided by Kemp and Lunt to flip up a coin for the office of president ani the loser should be declared the other officers. The coin was tossed up and Kemp was elected president, the other offices going to Lunt. Such is the audacity of the “Scoops.’ 94 The Press Club Chess Harry Morrice.......................................................

The heat being practically confined to the face of the iron, the room does not become insufferably hot. The heat being constant, there is no need of those tiresome, temper-trying trips from ironing board to stove. 2d: THE ELECTRIC COFFEE PERCOLATOR wherein coffee — delightful, delectable coffee — may be brewed. The highest priced coffee, when brewed .according to old time methods, suffers by com- parison.with lower-priced coffees brewed in the electric percolator. 3d: THE ELECTRIC TOASTER—The very name suggests the toothsome, golden brown, pithy product, so difficult to produce by other means but so easy to produce with an Electric Toaster. PRICES: Glad Irons, 3-lb., $3.75; 6-lb., $3.50; 8-lb., $4.75 Electrii Coffee Percolators $8.00 Electric Toaster, $3.75 Let’s Send the Trio on Trial If they don’t measure up to the claims we make for them, we’ll send for them.
