Very soon we will be but a memory with- in your halls. This book is our last effort—our fare- well—our “ave atque vale.” But we are keenly sensible to its imperfections; that which we would have done we have left undone, while that which we would not have done we have done. However, dear reader, gentle or other- wise, judge this book kindly, more by what we intended to do than by what we have done. And now in the words of the gladia- tors before Caesar: “Morituri salutamus I” SriHratiou nno MISS WEAVER, who has bc- A lieved in us and helped us, who has trusted us in difficulty and rejoiced with us in success, and whose respect and friend- ship we hope to gain, we joyfully dedicate this, our hook. 130 THE OCCIDENT 01U BB I. I gazed into the mystic em'rald pool Wherein the seer of old had gazed and found His fate, with invocations wierd, pro- found. His fortune, written on the waters cool. And, as I gazed, I thought, “My class in school— How will they fare, the broad, wide world around?” And, as I dreamed, reclining on the ground. An- apparition from the magic pool Arose—a spirit clothed in purest white— And with its hand it pointed toward the . sky And lo! from out the west a shooting star Shot upward, onward, and did mount on high. Reach Zenith, halt, and disappear afar. II. T gazed into the golden bowl of fate, The golden bowl with em’rald water brimming, And there the destinies, the future lim- ning, Showed forth unto my eager eyes the late Fulfillment of a late accomplished fate. A purple cloud, the em’rald water dim- ming, Parted, and o’er the placid surface skim- ming, Appeared a bird; then quickly flying straight Into the air, in eagle’s form, and bright, And in increasing spirals ever higher It winged its way, till it could not he seen. Then whence it vanished shone a ball of light; And then, in accents of a voice of fire. I heard these mystic words: “Nineteen- sixteen” f ? a r 1015 THE OCCIDENT 131 ::WE5T HIGH:; PRESENTS the CLASS « JAN.I3I6 FUTURE 132 THE OCCIDENT THE REFUGEE By Fanny Thomas “Jean, all Jean !” Marie cried when she found herself separated from her brother in the great crowd of Belgian refugees who were trying to board the ship that September night in the memorable year of 1914. She struggled to free herself, but she could not turn back. The mob swept her on, across the gang-plank, on to the boat. She tried to force her way against the steady stream of people hoarding the vessel. Suddenly she real- ized the futility of her efforts for the gang-plank was taken in and the ship was in motion. Terror seized her! She ran to the railing. In agony, she stretched out her arms in longing for Jean and her native land, but the space between them continued to widen. She stood for a time as though in a trance, her mind’s eye picturing Jean pressed into service, suffering in the trenches,— possibly—but no it could not be! In a frenzy, she ran her twitching fingers through her hair. The girl had been compelled to go as a steerage passenger for lack of money. She shuddered at the thoughts of a voyage in such a man- ner for she was accustomed to comfort- able surroundings. “Mon Dicu!” she exclaimed hoarsely; and collapsed, falling to the lloor in a heap— Marie awoke to find herself no longer in the steerage but in a berth in a state- room. She wondered at it, only faintly recalling how she happened to be on a ship. As though jn answer to her thoughts she heard a voice saying in French, though with an unaccustomed accent. . . “Well, my dear, 1 am glad to see that you have recovered. Half an hour ago, when I saw you faint I was much alarmed and had you brought up here. As soon as you feel well enough I want you to tell me about yourself.” Marie turned her head and saw beside her a kindly, gray-haired woman whose face showed the suffering which she was experiencing. Weariness was there, and sorrow, also. She did not recognize her as one of New York’s foremost women but only as a new, true, friend. Marie felt much better; so she sat up in order the better to tell her story. “I am Marie De Seur,” she began. My brother and I fled from the town when our home was destroyed and father was taken prisoner. With what little money we had wc arrived at the coast, planning to go to America. We were separated in the rush to board the ship for we and others were late.” She Often Crying— 133 THE OCCI DENT stopped short, and then turned to Mrs. Yanderrock crying, “O! Madame, what shall I do? I am alone and without money—Jean!—Father!” She burst into sobs and clung to Mrs. Vandcrrock. “Never mind, my dear,” Mrs. Vander- rock said, “you shall be safe with me. Now I will call the stewardess to help you back to your place, but come again to-morrow. In the meantime, I shall plan something for you ' II. In New York, Marie acted as gover- ness to Mrs. Vanderrock’s children. A long, long year had passed; no news of Jean had reached her although she had tried to communicate with him and friends in Belgium. During all those months she had suffered dreadfully. Al- though she was sent to school, she made no friends for she was timid in attempt- ing to speak English. Moreover, her re- served manner, due greatly to her deep sorrow did not invite friendship. She often sought the seclusion of a classroom after school hours to dream of home and Jean, often crying over their misfortune. She worked hard in her spare time, with Mrs. Vanderrock’s children; so she had no time for recreation. More lonely than ever, Marie was wandering slowly home after an especial- ly hard day at school when, glancing down, she saw a coin in the snow. Trembling she picked it up. It was the first time she had had any money since she and Jean had been parted. Mrs. Vanderrock had given her a home and schooling, but no money. She was won- dering how to use it when she turned and saw that she was in front of a mov- ing picture theatre. She decided to go in, for she was cold and unusually de- pressed. Marie had never been in an American theatre. She selected a seat in the front. By chance she sat down next to a young man who took no interest in the pictures. He was settled comfortably and was looking about when he noticed Marie coming in. He was struck by her beauty. She, however, was not even aware of his presence,, for this was a novelty to her. He studied her profile, noticing her piquant nose and heavy, dark lashes; her olive skin and her drooping mouth. Marie was interested in spite of her- self, in the pictures, smiling or sighing at intervals. She was enjoying herself thus when a war film was thrown upon the screen. She took a passer's interest in it at first, but suddenly she sat up. Could it be he?—It was he' “Mon Dieu,” she criea, “ tis Jean1 She started forward but then sank back when she felt the futility of her move. Her eyes widened as she saw Jean step forward from the line of soldiers, remove his cap, and proudly re- ceive the badge of merit which was pinned to his coat. Marie clasped her hands, watching the movements with all the pride and admiration of a mother. Too soon, he stepped back into line and another picture was being shown. Marie relaxed, weeping quietly as her longing for Jean came upon her, more urgent than ever. “Mon fiere, she sobbed, “je suis navree.” The young fellow beside her noticed her starts and wondered at them. He finally decided that one of the French soldiers was her lover. Presently he arose and went out. But once outside, the beautiful, sad, face of the girl re- curred in his mind and her piteous crys sounded in his ears. He determined to go back to watch her. She didn’t even know he was there, he argued. So he went in again taking a seat beside her. As he sat there he tried to recall where he had seen such a girl. Suddenly he realized that it was this same girl! He had seen her at Mrs. Vanderrock’s when he had driven his mother there to call. Again, the war picture was before them. Marie had waited, regardless of 134 THE OCCIDENT Shk Saw a Coin in thk Snow the flying hours. When her brother again stepped forward, she stretched out her arms and murmured despairingly: “Jean—Jean.” The young fellow beside her could no longer refrain from speaking to her. “I am Irving Burton,” he ventured, “can I be of any assistance to you? I think wc have a mutual friend in Mrs. Vanderrock.” Marie turned, surprised to hear a voice so near. She saw the kindness in his face and the straightforwardness of his demeanor. In no time, she had told him her story. After Marie had gone he went to the box office of the theatre and secured the address of the war film company. Then he went home and wrote to secure all the news possible of the French regiment. As he sat at his desk, he became strangely moved. He contrasted the life which he was leading with that of young Jean in France. On the one hand, he saw himself not only busted out of col- lege, but absolutely dependent upon his father for every cent he spent. On the other hand, he saw Jean working with all his might for himself and for his sis- ter of whom he probably thought con- tinually, and hoped some day to find. Irving had lately felt much abused and downcast on account of his failure at college though this hadn’t troubled him as much as the fact that his father had cut his allowance. Worse yet, his mother, even, had turned against him. He had considered that his was a sad fate until he met Marie. It was then . that he found a sorrow far greater than his. Irving began to realize that he alone was responsible for the sadness. He resolved, then and there, to change his way and to do better. In a week’s time, Irving received a reply from the film company. He went directly to Mrs. Vanderrock with the good news. It contained all that Marie desired—mainly that the regiment was in winter quarters near Calais. She wrote to Jean asking him if it would be pos- sible and advisable for her to join him in France as a nurse. Weeks of vague hope passed. Marie began to despair of having an answer from Jean; but finally it came! She was elated for it contained the news that nurses were urgently needed, that she should come at once,—and to Jean’s camp! Passage was enclosed, so there was nothing to do but to prepare for her leaving. (Continued on page 54) Roth Gillsttk, President Elizabeth Gay. Vice-President Louise Schknck, SecreUry HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1916 Once upon a time, many years ago, (four, to be exact) a great many chil- dren, diplomas, papers and entrance cards in hand, presented themselves in good time at the portals of West High School. When the doors were opened, they timidly entered, and went at once to their study rooms. How large and terrifying everything looked! Neverthe- less, they did all they could to appear nonchalant and entirely at home. Yet how the day dragged! In thinking of the four years ahead of them it seemed as though “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to- morrow Would creep in petty pace, from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time.” Yet it seemed scarcely a week until the first term was but a memory. Wc were freshman finals, and could sit back with amused glances for other new- comers. The class was organized, and the pins purchased. This was the begin- ning of our career. In the second year, tableaus were given, which were known as the “Sopho- more Character Sketches.” Our class also set a new precedent by transform- ing the old “Sophomore Dance” into a truly informal and social occasion, for the members of the class alone. The evening was a great success, and was much enjoyed by every one. Our third year was marked chiefly by the Junior Dance, held in the corri- dors of the school, and the Junior Farce. The play selected was “My Lord in Liv- ery” and was presented by an able cast, trained by Mrs. Ellis. And now we come to our fourth year, the last and best of all! There are so many things that we must not forget! Our Christmas party, held in the girls’ gymnasium, met with the success which seemed to attend all of the undertakings of our fortunate class. Our play, the “Piper, given by both the June and Jan- uary classes of 1916, was the most elab- orate production ever staged at West High. January 14th is a night that will long be remembered by every member of the class. Senior Day, Class Day, ex- aminations, follow each other closely. And now comes graduation, and the end of our brief reign. We go to swell the ever increasing number of the alumni. You who follow in our foot-steps, re- member and honor us, not only for- what wc have done, but for what we have been. Mary R. Cowles. • 136 THE OCCIDENT PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1916 It was in the year 1930. After rush- ing madly through the depot gates, I just managed to board the Erie Aeroplane Limited before it started. When my natural composure had returned I ex- tracted from my bag the numerous arti- cles necessary to continue my latest book called “The Mystery of the Sewer, or Who Clogged up the Sink?” I had written two words when a maga- zine was thrust violently under my nose and bending over me stood a magazine boy. Great Caesar! It was Fred Pel- low, of the Class of ’16, of dear old West High School! He didn’t recognize me and hurried off before I could say a word. Not feeling in a writing mood after that, I allowed my eyes to roam about the aeroplane. In the seat ahead sat a very loving couple, whose eyes were for each other alone. Their antics had amused me for half an hour, when I no- ticed who they were, and, in my amaze- ment. I leaned forward and shouted: “Emily and Charles, how long have you two idiots been married ?” They seemed glad to see me and the blushing Emily replied: “Oh, we’ve been married al- most a week. Chuck has a wonderful position in Woolworth’s.” “What does he do?” “Sings popular songs.” “Isn’t that lovely! Tell me all about your wedding.” Emmy was only too willing. “Do you remember Jenny Latimer? She was my maid of honor. She shines as reporter on the N. Y. Star. Frank Islcr, who is the wealthiest bachelor in New York, was best man. There is a rumor that he is infatuated with the actress, Gladys Tozier, whom they call the second Theda Bara.” During this steady stream of words, Emmy’s eyes wandered, and suddenly she said: “Say, isn’t that Verna Toung across the aisle?” Sure enough, there sat our former classmate smiling vacant- ly over her knitting. We called her over to find out how much she knew and were informed that she was President of the Eastern Star and devoted spare hours to her Home for Cats. We were soon interrupted by the con- ductor, who was none other than Ray- mond Brooks. He had no time to chat but threw Verna a sweet smile. Glancing through the window we caught sight of a kite to which was at- tached a billboard with a dazzling head- line “THAT DARING TRIO.” Below the headline were the likenesses of Lucille Dean, Cassie Mee and Emily Donnellan, in acrobatic array, jumping wildly from one trapeze to another. The aeroplane swooped towards the earth, and looking out of the window we could see in the near distance the smoky chimneys and tall sky scrapers of some large and bustling city. As we glided nearer to terra firma we could make out an immense sign over what looked like the City Hall, and as we spelled out the sign it read “BUSHNELL’S BASIN.” “THE HOME OF ANHEUSER BUSHES.” As we came to a halt at the station Chuck raised the window and whistled. Two women rushed up with bottles of “COLD TEA.” (New York being a dry state.) Lo, and behold! The two women were Anna Beaman and Margaret Van Billiard. They were as surprised to see us as we were them. Chuck asked them what they did to oc-' cupy their time between trains and they said they kept busy FILLING THE BASIN. They told us to be sure and keep our eyes out about a mile out of the city .and we would sec Lowell Harder digging potatoes in a field. We also learned that Marion Cartwright was teaching school there, Harold Smith had a large chicken farm, and Margaret Gul- THE OCCIDENT 137 len was a whirlwind gum chewing wait- ress in the largest hotel. We bid hurried good-byes as we flew on our way and the city faded from view. The next stop we made was New York where we all alighted, and, after separat- ing, made toward home. I was delayed for a time by a crowd gathered about the Salvation Army of which Louise Schenck was leader. A few blocks farther on I came to a corner black with people surrounding the greatest Suffragette of the time, Marion Cook. I listened as long as I could stand such a flow of language accompanied by gestures and shrieks and then tried to elbow my way out of the street. Some tall, athletic woman pushed me aside with one hand and was away, but not before I recognized her as Wilhelmina Stein- kamp. She was escorted by Jess Willard. In my next scramble for safety, I tripped over the: brush of a street sweeper, who help l me to my feet. Good Night! It was Orton Lannin, as full of ambition as ever. He handed me over to a jolly Police Woman, Anna Iloesterey, who took me to my boarding house. There the landlady, Mrs. Mar- garet Smith O’Brien, let me in. Comfortably settled in my room, news- paper in hand, I turned to the “Beauty Talks,” written by Elizabeth Gay. Be- low was a headline “ARRESTED FOR NOT PAYING FARE IN JITNEY.”' This lawbreaker proved to be Fanny Thomas. In the Society news was an account of a Grand Ball given by Carolyn Cushman, wife of Lord Helpus. Among the guests present were the famous Lady Senator from East Avon, Mildred Coffin, Louis Murphy, C. O. D., R. F. D. and Eliza- beth Janes, the noted Philanthropist. An exhibition dance was given by pupils of the aesthetic dancer, Ruth Gillette. Another page revealed the name of Helen Dodds soprano, Irene I less- pianist, Mabel Stallman, violinist, to be heard in a concert that night. My eyes next caught the words “Beautiful Young Aviatrix, Margaret McKelvey, Unhurt By Fall of 2000 Feet.” • I was reading about a successful book that had been written by Viola Van Buren, when Mary Cowles rushed into the room to tell me that she had been made Chief Overseer of the City’s Refuse Grounds. Helen Erickson, the noted artist, came in then and said she had been to the thea- ter with Fireman Mark Kirchmaier. They had seen Rheba Wilbur, Champion Ice Skater, on the stage. “What a day!” Elsie Anderson. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the noble Senior Class of West High School of the City of Rochester in the County of Monroe and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this, our last Will and Testament, in manner fol- lowing, that is to say: First.—We direct that all our debts and graduation expenses be paid. Second.—To the egotistical class of Jan- uary, 1917, we leave and bequeath our Hallowe’en Social which was so suc- cessfully given by us, on the condition that they do not sell hard cider with- out a license which must be granted by the advisory board. Third.—To the exalted class of June, ' 1916, we give and bequeath the plan, originated by us, that the menu of the lunch room be changed once every term. Foiylh.—To Elwood “Tiglath Pileser” Snider we leave a new girl to take the place of Helen Cleopatra Dodds who now passes out of existence. Fifth—To Seth Widner we leave a re- served place under the clock just out- side Mr. Bennett’s office.

The Senior Class Book Board wishes to express their thanks to the Occident Staff for granting them the privilege of publishing their January Occident. Al- though this book is chiefly in the inter- ests of the present graduating class we have tried to make it entertaining and interesting to all the classes, from Fresh- men to Senior. “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.” We realize, and know that it should be that way, but as we take our pen in hand to write these our last editorials, there is a queer tug at our heart. For four years we have looked forward to this time; have dreamed dreams of our Senior days, and built air- castles concerning our future, but now as we near the end of our last term in West High School, and realize that we arc to go out from those walls, which have sheltered us for four years, and no longer roam the corridors where perhaps we have made our best friends, we ex- perience a new feeling, one, which is not easy to describe, but deeper, and differ- ent from any other. Such thoughts pass through the minds of most of us this new year, as we stand on a threshold of a new life. Wc have become a part of you, West High, and into our new world we will take the mem- ories of the pleasantest four years ever spent, and shall miss it all. Do we realize that it is impolite to stand in front of the teachers, and ab- sorb the contents of the board in the office marked for their use? Surely we would be more careful, if we realized that it was a breach of etiquette. How many of us place our fingers upon the glass doors as we pass in and out of them? This not only is impolite but makes the doors look untidy. Be more careful, fellow-students, about plac- ing your fingers, where they will leave a tell-tale mark. Then, again, it is very easy to acquire the habit of standing with your head against the wall. If you are guilty, stop it; break yourself of the habit. This helps to make a black streak on the wall that does not improve the looks of the building. THE OCCIDENT 145 It is often said that the first thoughts are the best, but if your first impulse is to read the contents of the teachers’ bul- letin board, place your finger-tips on the door as you pass through, or stand with your head against the wall, think twice, you will not lose anything, and you may gain something. A teacher read from a test paper “Gen- eral Grant was a prominent soldier in the Revolutionary army under Washing- ton’s command.” A student who over- heard it said, “I believe in preparedness.” Preparedness is one of the greatest ques- tions of the day; papers are full of ac- counts of it, magazines have articles on it; motion pictures are showing the need of it, and we are all more or less inter- ested in it. But the week before the monthly tests, and especially the few’ weeks before the dreaded “finals,” when we hear students saying “I have got to make up three lessons,” or “It means cramming to get through,” we doubt our preparedness. Why need we worry, if each day our lessons have been prepared? Tests are merely a review of the daily work in a nut-shell, and if we all be- lieved in being prepared and in its prac- tice there would be no need of a nervous strain before “exams.” The motto of the Boy Scout organiza- tion is “Be Prepared” and it has been found that already they have reached a considerable state of preparedness. Would it not be a good motto for us to adopt and follow ? And then by demon- stration let it be found that we too have reached at least a state of semi-prepared- ness. The weather is very patient. Wc abuse and blame him, but ne’er a complaint does he make; we exalt, praise, but no sign of appreciation does he show. Why not be as patient with the weather, as the weather is patient with us? Surely we will agree, that the January weather has not been the most agreeable. Skate- lovers feel very much abused because there has been so little ice, while the lovers of the sunshine have longed for the warm rays. It seems impossible to satisfy everyone. The weather, like the rest of us, has his trials; so let us try not to be so ready to complain. It has long proved true that it is far wiser to make the best of things. PROBLEM My High School days arc nearly over, Now what am I to do? So far my life has been in clover. But will my dreams come true? I’ve often thought I’d like to teach, Or perhaps to be a nurse, But they require a lot more work, Before they fill the purse. 1 think the best thing I can do, If not too long I’ve tarried, Is to find some man who'll love me true And then—then go get married. UNIQUE A gent with an eyesight oblique Journeyed forth, some mushrooms to sique; But, sad to relate, ’Twas a toadstool he ate; And that ended up the poor gique. A gink with a nose quite unique Got in a dispute with a Grique; But the Grique, with a smile, Picked up a big file And hammered him over the bique. A SENIOR, TOO “Oh gee, why on earth ain’t I bright? I can think and think all the night, But to poor stupid me .. Comes not one idee For a theme,—now ain’t that a fright?” 146 THE OCCIDENT DEBATING TANGLE We have chosen to debate the affirma- tive side of the question, “Resolved: That the commission form of government as adopted in Buffalo would give Roches- ter a more efficient and more responsible government than its present charter does,” with both E. li. S. and Lafayette, for, after much discussion pro and con the boys did not wish to debate against their own convictions even though they knew they did not stand as good a chance of winning on the affirmative. Two weeks after we had wired the Buffalo manager of the side we chose we had an official communication signed by the coach and the principal asking that another ques- tion be adopted as this one had already been debated so much in Buffalo that they feared they could get no audience, and saying furthermore, that they did not see why they should submit a question of East High’s choosing. The West High manager, Mr. Thomas, replied by quot- ing the letter of the Lafayette manager in which he proposed that his team sub- mit the same question that it received from East High and stating that West High had supposed the question was a peculiarly acceptable and timely one for them. If their suggestion of changing had been made before we had selected our side of the question we should have yielded but, in as much as they had evi- dently chosen both the question and the side they wished to debate, we felt com- pelled to hold them to the terms of the agreement and they replied that they yielded. It is hoped in debating and fac- ulty circles that this interchange of dip- lomatic notes will not disturb the good- feeling and friendly rivalry that has al- ways existed between the two schools. MOKE NEGOTIATIONS The third team is composed of Wide- ner, Flack, Snapp and Southwick, alter- nate. Negotiations for a debate have been opened with Batavia High School and a further communication is awaited. DEBATE HELD During the Christmas vacation each member of the teams to meet Lafayette and East High mailed an analysis of the question to the coach. The teams are now preparing to meet each other. A debate was held on Jan. 20th between our two teams, the team to meet East High taking the negative and those to meet Lafayette taking t he affirmative. No decision was rendered but much profit was derived from the contest. SCANDAL? Anyone who knows any case of Alder- manic scandal or graft will confer a great favor by submitting the same with proof to any member of the teams. COMMISSION GOVERNMENT FOR WEST HIGH Harvey Hunt was responsible for the suggestion that the Student Government of West High be of the commission plan. It is probable that the question of com- mission government for West High will be debated some morning soon in As- sembly. SERIES OF TALKS The Boys’ Debating Societies have been holding a series of talks on the various municipal departments. Kennell. Reed and Niveling have given talks. combined Society? The Underclassmen have been having readings from modern literature in con- nection with their meetings. This has raised the question of a combined Liter- ary and Debating Society for the boys. After the interscholastic debates, the cup debates will probably be continued. Home Room 26 still holds the cup. GIRLS’ TEAM PICKED The trial debates arc over and the fol- lowing team of girls to meet the East High girls has been chosen: Anabel Mullen, May Schenck, Murial Hamilton and Rose Kingsley, alternate. Senior Occident Board 5 We, who arc about to be graduated, salute you, West High School! This month sees the end of our life here. No more will we come every day to study. Nor yet for anything else. But there is some consolation in the thought that after all, every book we have read on such themes is distinctly inaccurate. We arc, very likely, quite unique as a class. I say this for I be- lieve that being an ordinary student, I may judge the others by myself. There- fore I repeat, we are an extraordinary class. No feeling of sad meditation steals over me as I view the drinking foun- tains and bulletin boards, for the last time, perhaps. My eyes do not grow dim when I pass the waste-basket. I do not soliloquize over the fusser's benches. If I did I should not think of the many touching scenes here enacted. I should think that a coat of varnish would prob- ably help them a bit. I feel no impulse to enrich the freshman with advice and admonition. I do not drop tears of re- gret into the fountain. I do not believe T would spend four more years here if I could. I have sighed over the combi- nation on my locker, but I never will again. And yet, though my saddest memories are of the lunch-room, I am not quite devoid of sentiment. T have a mild affec- tion for the library. Really it has been so convenient! Also I should like to know before I go how the electric clocks are run. T am really enthusiastic about the class. I have heard it pronounced slow. I am not prepared to dispute it. In fact I think it dignified. Nervous activity is often misjudged and certainly not ele- gant. Ours is a talented class. Indeed, I feel that there is at least one embryo author in our midst. I am sure the school will miss us tremendously. And now for the school itself. It is high time to settle this matter of school- spirit. We, of the January, nineteen- sixteen class, pronounce it our opinion that there is no such thing—but we con- sider it a fine myth to propagate. I don’t know what our rising young orators would do without it: We, who are about to be graduated salute you, West High School! It is somewhat embarrassing, of course, but we just want to say on- the quiet that whenever you want anything, old West High, you know us. Really we hate slush, but just the same there is a soft spot in our hearts for you. If you need a new building or anything in later years we’ll see that you get it. No, I’m not. It’s just a cold in my head. Good-bye, West High. MY FIRST ATTEMPT I’m dinged at by my teacher, I’m dinged at by the staff, I’m dinged at by the editor, They have a sort of graft. I guess they think That w.c should write Works like Milton Or maybe Bryant. Now Occident don’t '• At this get sore, For if you do I’ll write no more.

Martha Washington and Calpurnia Looming up on the athletic horizon at the present time is a sport that has re- ceived very little favor from the student body in past years. Track, which is con- sidered by men prominent in physical work to be the best sport for the develop- ment of youth, has been put in the back- ground for some time. It even went back so far that it was necessary to abolish the indoor end of the game two years ago. Last year tliere was a slight revival of spirit, and the sport came back but with- out any surprising result. This year an- other attempt will be made to rejuve- nate the sport but unless there is a big turnout when the opening gun is fired work will cease until the outdoor season in the spring. With adequate material it will be pos- sible to go through a good season, as the management has opportunity to ar- range a schedule that will be better than any that a West High team has had in some time. Meets can be arranged with both scholastic and collegiate-freshman teams. The Occidentals will be pitted against the fastest teams in the state and the men will be given a chance to show their worth. Should a team be picked it is quite possible that something new in the local scholastic game will be tried out. The freshman team of Hobart College is especially desirous to arrange a triangu- lar meet with East and West High Schools, but the managements think that it would be better to combine the teams, picking the best from each school and entering the meet under the name of the Rochester High Schools. This plan was introduced by the West High manage- ment and is quite acceptable to West High. This would be the first time that such a thing has been attempted. If the plan works out in the Hobart meet the same team will very likely be entered in the big interscholastic meets that are held throughout the state dur- ing the winter months. This thing looks very good to us, as the combined strength of the two schools should comprise a team that would he equal to if not better than any scholastic team in the state. It would tend to put Rochester and the high schools on the sport map. The outdoor season will not open until May, the same as last season. West High has always been to the fore on the cinders, having held the city champion- ship two years ago. There are several good men available for an indoor team, practically all of last year’s team being back in school. After a year’s drilling these athletes should be in good shape and ready to go out and cop the gonfalon this year. Such men as Hale, Sachs, Brooks and Howard will uphold the colors of the school in the sprints. Shirley, Osier, Wegman and Wignall will take care of the distance runs. MacDonald, Brooks, Johnson and Slattery are as good as the best in the field events. Many of the younger stu- dents have the stuff and it is for them to come out and help the cause. 152 THE OCCIDENT BASKETBALL Most of the championship aspirations have been knocked out of the West High basketball team within the past month. Cathedral High School was the main of- fender when they handed the Occiden- tals a 30 to 16 defeat on the Armory court. It was the first time that the quint had tasted the sting of defeat and they will all aver that it was very bitter medicine. However, it may have its good effects and tend to bring them back. They still have one more crack at the city title and we wish them all the luck possible, while at the same time we ex- tend our sympathies for the defeat of the past. The Occidental record for the season, however, is one to be proud of. Five victories to one defeat giving them an .833 average looks very good. At pres- ent they are leading the local teams when the percentage is figured up. Their latest victim was Newark High School who threw a little scare into the team during the first few minutes of play but they very quickly shook the fright and came away with the country lads’ scalps dangling at their belts—we will not vouch for the truth of this statement for we do not know whether or not the team wear belts. John Shirley, he of the eagle eye, is leading the scoring column. Shirley has seventy-one points to his credit. He is closely followed by Brooks, Bartlett, Pope and Yawger in the order named. Much credit for the success of the team to date must be given to the guards, Jack Pope and Foster Yawger. They are some classy pair on the defense. We have yet to sec a pair that is any better. They know every angle of the game, can intercept passes with ease. Their heroic work in the Cathedral game, when de- feat stared the team in the face, is a proof of their ability. For their credit we must say that no two guards can hold five fast players down and that is what Pope and Yawger had to do that night. A slight change was made necessary in the schedule by the cancellation of two games by Warsaw. Geneseo Nor- mal School has been substituted. Summary W. H. R. Po. E. H. Positions Short .........

In this wonderful class of '16, We have many a beautiful queen; Of knights we have few, I’ll relate to you Some tales (on which truth does not lean). There are Anna and Mildred and Irene, Without books they never are seen; For they love to study And outshine “everybuddy” And make us appear very green. We have a young man who’s called Pel- low, Who has a fine voice, very mellow, Though he has a bad habit Of eating Welsh “rabbit” On the whole he’s a pretty good fellow. There is a young lady named Cook, Who loathes to study a book; But she loves to skip And to movies to trip Where, at all of the pictures she’ll look. There’s also a young man named Mark, Have you ever seen him in the park With a pretty young girl With her hair in a curl? Could you fancy them having a lark? In our class is a girl named Cartwright, Who always knows how to start right; She can play on the fiddle, Tell many a riddle, A remarkable girl, this Miss Cartwright. There arc ’Lizabcth, Ruthic and Glad, These three who never are sad; They are very bright pupils With conscientious scruples And they never skip or are bad. There is a young lady named Dodds, Who at every one pleasantly nods; But she breaks the rule And whispers in school And sometimes she throws paperwads. In our class one has fine flaxen hair, On her face a sweet smile docs she wear; She has soft cheeks of pink And blue eyes that wink And boys—well, perhaps they do stare. Miss Toung is another young lass Who belongs to our most famous class. She gets all unstrung When she is called “Tongue” And things come to an a-awful pass. We mustn't forget “Emmy” Sauer, Who resembles a beautiful flower (?) Oft she comes in late With the direful fate Of staying after school one whole hour. A Short Verse Happy in West High have we met, Happy in West High have we been, Happy in West High may we part, Happy in West High meet again. 154 THE OCCIDENT THE REFUGEE {Continued from page Jjf) Marie trod on air during the next week. Delightful pictures of her future kept recurring in her mind. She saw only happiness;—none of the drudgery of the life she had chosen, for she would be with Jean, and in France again! Mrs. Vanderrock tried to discuss the seriousness of her move with the girl but she would not listen. The older woman had become strongly attached to the girl but there was no way of influ- encing her to stay. At the last moment, however, Marie felt a pang at leaving her benefactress and she wanted, for a moment, to stay with her; but again such visions of Jean and France came before her that she went happily to the dock. Irving was there to see her off. She could not find words enough to express her gratitude for all that he bad done for her but her appreciation spoke for itself in her happy face. “Eet is of a great kindness you have been to me,” she said, ‘‘and I feel it more than I can tell you. O!” she exclaimed, I am so happy.” She ran on board gaily, at the last minute. The warning cry of “All ashore!” was heard. Marie smiled and waved to Irving as the ocean liner set sail. The great ship moved out through the surging water. It was an awesome scene to witness but Irving saw only Marie in all her beauty and gladness. He thought of how the contact with her had changed his outlook upon life. He stood watching the ship until it was silhouetted against the win- ter sky. He turned, going thoughtfully on his way. He had found someone with a deeper sorrow than his, and he was grateful for it. Marie was returning home, older and more serious, but more truly happy for she had known what it was to suffer. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT (Continued from page jy) Sixth.—To the Honorable William Bar- ton we leave the “Mighty Dollar,” formerly run by Charles Martin. Seventh.—To Miss Pratt's learned Virgil class we sorrowfully leave the ponies” once used by us so that the school may have cavalry as well as infantry. Eighth.—Wc respectfully leave to Miss Katherine S.

Ninth.—To Donald Saunders we gladly leave the lunch-room sinkers” to check him in his wild career. Tenth.—To Wallace Church we leave the well-known “life preserver and trust that in the future he will be more care- of it so that it may be passed on to his successors. Eleventh—.Lastly, to the whole school we leave the eleventh Commandment. We hereby appoint Lena Bulle and Philip McCann executors of this, our last Will and Testament.

Fashion is the adopting of other peo- ple’s follies as your own. People who strive to appear what they are not, only succeed in being nothing. Those people are the most comical, who are funny without meaning to be so. A man in debt is like a cat up a tree— goes up easily and then yowls to get down. Not the early riser, but he who gets the best sleep, is the one who gets the worms. Many people keep themselves so busy doing nothing that they never accom- plish anything. This would be a world of sadness if everyone knew what his neighbors thought of him. There may be such a thing as too much conscience, but there is no such thing as too much common sense. The secret of letter writing—Written words—little wit—many words—not a bit—never write—that is it. Tact, is an art which enables one to linger in the domain of inoffensive dis- simulation. while avoiding ignoble deceit. There are some people who won’t get into the heavenly orchestra because they refuse to play anything but the first fiddle.

At his command a thousand people sway! How many lax at tasks, the price did pay By blushing hot, from shame felt deep within, When counsel, fatherly, made plain the sin, In words so couched one could not say him nay, But promise, bright to mepd the erring way, And be a student firm, to fight and win! That Wrest High’s honor and that West High’ s power May manifest themselves with growing zest He strives unceasingly—-His words endure Because they point the task of every hour— With such a leader West High- is secure.

But let us not give way to tears— We’ve done our best through four long years To hold thy shining standards high And raise thy praises to the sky. Now, though our ways divergent be, Sweet memories in our thoughts to thee Shall turn, our own West High,—in June. Margaret Williamson. 14 Class History—June, 1916 After four years of ceaseless toil, the great and glorious class of June 1916, about to leave these portals for the freedom of the world, recognizes no class as superior and few as equal. While we have well taken care of the usual activities of the class such as the Sophomore Party, Junior “Prom,” Junior Play and Senior Dance, we have ex- celled in-various undertakings. Among the unusual social events are the Hallo- we’en Social, St. Patrick’s Party, Senior Play, “The Piper” and Mr. Bayne’s lec- ture on. “Wild Animals I Have Known and Trained.” Never before in the history of the school has any class endeavored and suc- ceeded in paying a debt of $100, incurred by the former Senior Annual, by one social event. Although the January class aided us in this event the plan origi- nated in the June class. The school was resplendent in orange and black. Any- one who viewed the remains of the Pumpkin family while his friend, the school skeleton, stood nearby in the dark, can never forget this impression. A most unusual event occurred on St. Patrick’s day, when amid decorations of green and white, the June class entertained the January class. Passers-by saw green light reflected on the snow and heard the hum of happy voices; this was not a formal affair but a jolly good time. The Senior Play, “The Piper,” given by the Senior classes, ranks among the great plays given in West High School. In this play unusual talent was shown by Harriett Remington, who took the part of the Piper, and there were many other fine actors. The girls of the Senior class are very enthusiastic about commencement and wish to make the expenses of that time as light as possible for their parents. With this object in view they invited Mr. Baynes here to give his lecture, and although the time before his coming was very short, the girls were so enthusi- astic that they not only paid expenses but gained. In this illustrious class we have students who help to maintain our glory bv ceaseless toil but we do not rank highest or lowest in scholarship. Although our Honor Roll is short, no Virgil term class under any Latin teacher ever held such a conspicuous place as ours. What we accomplished and what happened was a subject of wonder throughout the school. During our four years we have held many championships, both the boys and girls. The boys have held the class championship in basketball twice and soccer three times. They are well represented by Jack Pope in basketball, Cas- selman Hess and Charles Miihl in soccer, Griffin Little in baseball, John Shirley in track, Warren Kennell in debating and Wallace Church in chess. In athletics the girls seem to have outstripped the boys for they have won the class cham- pionship in basketball and baseball for three years. The following girls have been prominent in W. H. S. activities: Harriett Ziegler, Helen Yerger, Kath- ame Keman, Leda Wilson and Ruth Bentley. Twice the class of 1916 has won the greatest number of points in the annual gym meet and now, in our last year, a member of the June 1916 class, a Senior, holds the cup for the first time in the history of the school. The memory of W. H. S. will always be among our sweetest recollections and we shall watch with interest the struggle of the little children we are leav- ing to reach the high standard this class has instituted, and we hope their efforts may bring honor and glory to our Alma Mater. i5 The Senior Annual Board Editor-in-Chief Marion Barbour Associate Editor Warren Kennell Associate Editors Harriett Remington Mildred Long • Ell wood H.

The Council in 1916 The members ask that the student body study with care the treasurer’s report, noting that West High Day brought in more than at any previous time within three years, and that our financial condition is good! The council is a grave and reverend body and all classes are urged to choose as members those who possess some judicial characteristics and a “high-minded seriousness.” • 4o The Council Treasurer’s Report West High Day, March 3, 1916 Rceipts— Admissions (683) ............

Elmer Way was chosen President and re-elected for that office until September, 1915, when Sanford Slocum was chosen. . In our second year a party and sleigh-ride were well supported by the mem- bers of the class and their friends. The two crowning events were in the third year when the Junior Prom and Junior Play were given with the help of the June 1917 class. Instead of the usual Junior Farce, Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” was presented. This play was chosen in place of a farce because of the cele- bration of the tercentennary of Shakespeare’s death. The play was well attended and much enjoyed. The Gass of June 1917 has joined with the January Gass in all its activi- ties this year. They held joint class meetings each time. January, 1917. President—Sanford Slocum. June, 1917. ' President—Richard Wegman. • Vice-President—Constance Pratt. Secretary—Muriel Hamilton. Treasurer—Donald McGhee. 44 The Class of 1917 The Class of January, 1918 The noteworthy class of January, 1918 has progressed to its Junior year and last term held its first social function, “The Soph Party.” It was a huge success, owing to the splendid management of Roswell Marshall, (at that time class president), Alfred Sproat, Arthur Odell and Douglas Donald. In spite of the handicap of not being able to charge any fixed amount the class made it a paying proposition and, with no exception, was anyone displeased in any way. That the gentler members of the class can study as well as dance is shown in the cases of Ruth Patrick,- Hannah Spencer, Ruth Loomis and Doris Logan, while the boys are able to study when it is absolutely necessary which is shown by the report cards of Alfred Sproat, Roswell Marshall, Donald Houghton and Donald McKie. . Curtis Beardsley, the representative of West High School in the Hamilton College Contest, is a member of this illustrious class of January, 1918. Michael Crino, who took the part of “Charles” in the Junior play, is one of us and furnished a prime attraction of the play. Allison Gillette, President. President—Allison Gillette. Vice-President—Alfred Sproat. Secretary—Lillian Tegg. Treasurer—Doris Logan. . June, 1918 The chief event of the year for this class was the Sophomore Party, held on January seventh. It was very successful and marks our first attempt to bring the class together in a social affair.. President ...............................Paul Perry Vice-President ...........................John Neun Secretary ................................Helen Kies Treasurer ................................Fern Fuller The Classes of 1918 January, 1919 At a meeting of the class of January, 1919, the following officers were elected . President—Frederick Webb. 'Vice-President—Anabelle Taylor. Secretary—Walter Taylor. Treasurer—Kenneth Steeves. During the ensuing term Theodore Barstow was elected chairman of the Class Pin Committee. The pins were purchased by many members of the class, for the design is most attractive in dull and polished gold. At a class meeting in February the following representatives were elected for the Executive Council: Walter Taylor, Oliver Page and Marion Craft. In school activities we are well represented—in track by Harry Wignall,' Walter Taylor and Frederick Webb, and in golf by Henry Steinkamp. We are also represented in baseball, tennis, swimming, debating and chess. We have also many of musical talent, being represented in the orchestra by Harry Rosen- thal and Charles Broumouski and in the glee clubs by Walter Bennett, Evelyn, Thompson, Harry Wignall and Frederick Webb. In the class are several scholastic wonders whose report card are covered with “A’s” and who provoke us by telling us how easy such and such a lesson is. As a class we are very proud of what we have accomplished during the past year and a half, and we hope to do still better things for West High in the following years of our High School career. Frederick Webb, President. . June, 1919 President—Leroy Beers. Vice-President—Francis Smith. Secretary—Dorothy Fisher. Treasurer—Brenda Glass. .During the leap year month of 1916, a goodly number of the class of June, 1919 were gathered together in Room 55, and elected officers. Mr. Kennell was chosen adult advisor before the president had time to hammer the bell twice and adjust himself in his new chair. We owe much to Mr. Kennell and the committee for the way in which they handled the class pin proposition. Howard Brown, chairman,.Donald Norton and Madelyn Sullivan procured the money in great shape, receipts were given out in exchange and the class pins handed them later on presentation of same. We have some bright and promising material in the class, which bodes fair for the support of the various activities in the future years of West High School. Henry Rohrer has been used occasionally as pitcher for the first team in baseball games. He has a left-hand throw, which will develop in speed as the years go by, and a promising battery is expected. Ralph Allen, a track man, who really made the first team but was dropped.on account of his 1919 stamp, is a coming winner and much is expected of him. In the track meet at the Armory, Allen breasted the tape and had time to tie his shoe lace before his nearest adversary arrived. 1 hat we have a first-class squad of swimmers is proved when we relate the winning of the “Big Four” swimming contest recently. They came to us a year ago Foolish, as is the rule, But now they save.their pennies well, To help support the school. 48 Classes of 1919 UhiUttt The Post Graduates (Sec the Advertising Section) Glee Clubs Would you like to hear something about the work of our Glee Clubs during this past year, in which so many students have taken part, and yet of which a great number know far too little? Once upon a time, last Fall, the Glee Clubs began to practice and this they did faithfully for several months. Then the time came for their first concert and wild were'the flutterings in many hearts, as the performers mounted the stage for the first time. We say ‘first’ because the clubs are composed mostly of new members this year. However, when they were assured later that the concert had been well rendered and greatly enjoyed by the audience, Miss Hogan and her warriors took courage and went through the concert season with flying colors. But long before the season was over, the idea of the Home Concert began to grow and take form in the minds of those who were interested in music, and out of this idea was developed a concert program which may indeed be classed among the finest that the West High Glee Clubs have ev r offered, consisting mainly of Shakespeare music, together with other music of the Sixteenth Cen- tury. “Down in a Flow'ry Vale,” one of the latter type, was composed in 1514 and is used as an illustration of the Madrigal. We should find it difficult to discuss the separate numbers. As a whole they are most interesting, in that they give us an excellent idea of the tnu'sic of an earlier age, and, moreover, each is so different from the others that the program is full of various syles of composition which it is a privilege as well as a pleasure for us to observe. Surely the Home Concert of June, 1916 is one to be long remembered. Girls’ Glee Club First Soprano—Adelaide Dark, Gladys Seidel, Katherine Howk, Augusta Schmitt, Irene Smy, Neva Smy, Harriet Wright, Miriam Benner, Iona Atkin, Winifred Gustafson, Jessie McIntyre, Lucille Storer.

Throughout the year we have had our regular rehearsals on Mondays, and this practice proved its worth when the annual Home Concert of the orchestra was held. No admission was charged and the following program was listened to by the unusually large and appreciative audience: PROGRAM 1 Overture, Merry Wives of Windsor........:...................O. Nicolai In Celebration of Shaksperian Tercentenary 2 First Symphony.......................................L. V. Beethoven (a) Andante Cantabile con moto (b) Menuetto 3 Tenor Solo “Under the Greenwood Tree”....................................Arne Mr. Charles Hedley 4 Selection, “The Blue Paradise”...................Eysler and Romberg 5 Violin Solo, “Slavonic Dance”...........................Dvorak-Kreisler Mr. George Kroha 6 A Day in Venice.............................................E. Nevin • (a) Venetian Love Song- (b) Gondoliers (c) Good Night 7 Selection, “What Shall He Have That Killed the Deer”............Biahop Boys’ Octette 8 March, New York Hippodrome.......................................Sousa Both of the soloists proved to be very popular, as was the Boys’ Octette. Mr. Hedley sang Cadmon’s “I Hear a Thrush at Eve” as an encore. In response to the generous applause given him, Mr. Kroha played the “Melody in D” by Busch. The orchestra has played several times in the school assemblies and has also given pleasing concerts at various public schools. An evening of music and fun was spent by the orchestra at the home of the orchestra manager, Eugene Curtis. The members of the orchestra are: Conductor ............................ Mr. L. Schenck Concert Meister .......................... George Kroha Manager '................................ Eugene Curtis Piano—Grace Howell, Harry Sullivan. Vioins—George Kroha, Mortimer Adams, Charles Brommowski, Katherine Sullivan, Grace 'Horner, James Waring. Second Violins—Paul Lyddon, Herbert Hausen, Harold Palmer, Edw'in Miller, Neal Clement, Ray Campbell, Homer Cruser. Clarinets—Madeline Walsh, Eugene Curtis. Cornets—Frances Pettrick, Herbert Messinger, Marshall Fox, Arthur Fox. Trombone—Charles Vincent. Drums—Dominic Roncone. j� A more capable man for the position which Mr. Schenck holds could not be found. The orchestra fully appreciates its privilege in having him, and realizes how well he has done the work of rehearsing and training them. Plans are now afoot for enlarging and further improving the orchestra next year. Any person playing a musical instrument, which is suitable for an orchestra is invited to join. 54 Orchestra ASug'gestion: Adju5t ble Seats In Study Majis Debate Coach—James M. Spinning. On Thursday, February 3rd, 1916, thirty-four boys, who had recently passed the preliminary debate try-outs, were anxiously awaiting the judge’s decision. This had been a new experience to most of them, as only a very few had had any previous experience in the art of debate. However, after what seemed to them an age, Mr. Spinning posted the following list: Lafayette Team—Thurlow Southwick, Horace Thomas, Edmund Flack' Rob- ert Lohges. East High Team—Paul MacGhee, Harvey Hunt, Warren Kennell, Dewitt Reed. I am sure, however, that you want to know something more about them than merely their names. The first is our friend, THURLOW SOUTHWICK, familiarly called “Southend.” His presence and rooting made W. H. S. shine in the snappy encounter with Lafayette. Allow me to introduce you to HORACE THOMAS. Horace is interested not only in debate, but also in the general welfare of the school. We were fortunate to have this man representing us because we know that it is always the persons who have the most to do, who do their work most efficiently. Yes, here comes EDMUND FLACK. My goodness! You needn’t look like that. He is not nearly so solemn as his face would indicate. He is, on the contrary, just the opposite. Edmund cer- tainly workcgl hard on his debate, and we feel as though he would be hard to do without. The last member of this team is . ' . ROBERT LOHGES. He went at his work with a will and unparalleled enthusiasm. Honorable Judges, allow me to introduce PAUL MACGHEE, whom we all know as “Strange Woman.” Paul is well versed in the art of con- vincing judges, as may be readily seen from his constant grin. We must not forget HARVEY HUNT. This man is in every branch of school activity and one who succeeds in everything he undertakes. For this reason this team was favored with one of the school’s main stand-bys. • WARREN KENNELL needs no introduction to either the faculty or the students of the West High School. We might say that he is near the last of the long line of Kennells. Great things have been expected from this man as he had previous experience in debating. Our friend, DEWITT REED, is known not only by his success in debate, but also by his work in the class room and that is what really counts, you know. As this is only his Junior year we look forward to his help in our next year’s debates. 58 The Debating Team The Occident The Occident has just completed a very successful season. The school, students and faculty have supported the paper to even a greater extent than in former years. Several artists have been developed and their work has lent an air of distinction to the covers of the Occident. The writers have contributed liberally and their work'has shown talent throughout. The advertising end of the paper has been nobly upheld by the manager. New advertisements have been secured and advertisements have been on time. Verily, the advertising mana- gers have done surprising well. The business staff has inaugurated many new features, chief among which is a new method of selling the Occidents. So with the knowledge of work well done, the Staff turns from a successful season to an even more bright future.

In their hands they hold our name and upon their justice and loyalty and skill depend our rating in the city. On every member of the club rests a real and heavy responsibility, and to all who wisely and conscien- tiously bear this the school gladly pays the heartiest tribute. 62 Senior Class Prophecy W hat searching eye shall pierce the mists That veil its onward course And read the future destiny of man”? During my Easter vacation, I took a boat trip to New Orleans, that gay and festive city. While there I visited a famous Amusement Hall, where my attention was attracted to a large crowd of people, gathered around what I after- ward learned was a huge revolving wheel called by some “The Wheel of Destiny’ and by others “The Wheel of Fortune.” When there was a lull I stepped up to the proprietor to learn more about the workings of this device. When he had told me many of the details concern- ing it, I informed him that I was Class Prophet of the'Class of June 1916, W. H. S., Rochester, N. Y., and asked him if he could help me read the futures of my classmates with his wonderful wheel. He proved to be most gracious and upon learning the number in the class and the condition of my pocketbook, he offered to read the futures of all for the insignificant sum of $50, providing I would guarantee him one-half the net proceeds of all the functions of the Fresh- man class. I readily agreed, for I knew that the class of 1920 would not want to stand in the way of this “Great Opportunity.” The terms having been agreed upon, I was told to report at 7:30 the following morning. I did, and from the revolutions of the wheel I obtained the following revelations: “1925.” George Acker has taken Clara Argus for his “lawfully wedded wife,” and they are now living in a state of matrimonial bliss. Dominic Roncone performed the ceremony and lives in luxury from the fees obtained in this way. Beatrice Bryant is in the “West Webster Jail for Militants.” She was caught “red-handed” in the act of putting a lack on the chair of Ethelyn Neer, the famous ‘ Anti.” Beatrice’s warden is the handsome, charming, and graceful Mr. Seth Wider.er—so popular in W. H. S. Seth had obtained this elevated posi- tion by apprenticing for five years in a padded cell, so that he might know all the necessary requirements. The next members of the class of whom I was to learn were Marion Bar- bour and Emily Gleason. They were wrestling for the “Heavyweight Champion- ship.” The timekeeper was Warren Kennell, who looked as dapper as usual in a pair of overalls. Stuart Hyland has departed for Scotland where he expects to teach the natives the delightful game of “Leap Frog.” Claude Stumpf, whose grace and poise we can never forget, is Stuart’s assistant and right hand man. Harvey Putnam, that enterprising young man, astonished all his friends and admirers by eloping with a damsel whose hair had a reddish tinge, but this event, though astound’ng in reality, has been expected no less than ten years. Clara Louise Beasley is the singing mistress in Tuskegee Institute, and is the inspiration of many opera singers. _ Henry Zickgraf is a successful business man in Chicago, and is said to have financed many great schemes of Roy Duncan, the great mining engineer of the West, who has lately taken into partnership Jasper Wilsea, who in despair gave up the stage because he could only bring a laugh from the house when en- deavoring to play “Romeo.” c Gerald Mathews is the famous connoisseur of choice French pertumes ; it is said that he was arrested at Whittle’s, after devouring six chocolate sodas, for being a menace to Public Safety. However, Franklin Enos, the Evan- gelist, has turned “Hoch” aside from his wicked ways and has said concerning him, “That while there was life there was hope.” . . . ,,n Grace Elwell, Dorothy Fuller and Marion Nagle have joined Buffalo his “Last Tour.” Grace is the best tight rope walker in the country, while Dorothy and Marion do an acrobatic stunt which is truly marvelous. 63 Wallace Peshine Church, the famous chess player, succeeded in getting a game with the world-champion, only to lose by default, because a vaudeville show proved so alluring that he didn’t go. . Alice Tuxill and Gladys Thompson have a fashionable hair-dressing estab- lishment and have designed a heretofore unheard of thing, a stylish coiffure for bald-headed men. Dorothy, assistant “gym” teacher at West High, finds it difficult to keep the girls out of the locker-room, for you know, “We must powder our noses.” Willis Gillette, the Safety Razor Magnate, has sold out his business and is seen walking up and down Main Street in “neat but nifty attire.” How- ever, when he turns on his back we perceive a placard which reads: Get Your Clothes at Mahoney’s and Look Abreast of the Times”! ! ! Mildred Gay is known as the Grey-eyed Sister. She spends her time doing deeds of charitv and has won her way into the hearts of rich and poor alike. Charles Miihl and Arthur Lannin have started a matrimonial agency which has, although still in its infancy, accomplished great results. Through this bureau Mary Courtney met John Shirley—and now “they are two minds with but a single thought.” (?) At the head of a large and prosperous Undertaking Establishment are Arthur Munson and Harry Whitmore. Arthur has been under the care of Dr. Andrew O’Keef and his charming nurse, Vera Smith—and I believe that Vera is the attraction for Arthur certainly looks as “hale and hearty” as ever. We next come to the “Marvelous Mildreds.” In front of their establish- ment on East Avenue hangs a beautiful symbol of financial aid, Three Golden Balls. The members of the firm are: Mildred Chamberlain, Mildred Scholls, Mildred Long and Mildred Clark. We trust that they are doing a good business. Baird Robinson, the leading chemist of his day, has consented to leave the cares of his large business and join a Traveling Vaudeville Troupe in the company of W'endell-Tompkins and Griffin Little. The public is always greatly attracted when they are billed as “The Flying Mermaids.” We expect them in Rochester at the Victoria during the week of Novmber 25, 1925. Loretta Swift is the chief cook in “Swift’s Potted Ham” works. She will not intrust her secret processes to another and so makes all the “Potted Ham” put up by the company. Jack Pope, although he has completed his course in college, has not been forgotten by those attending his Alma Mater—for he is Pope the football star, whose trophies are so numerous that he has to keep Seward Olmsted and Harold Ets of the detective force as special guards of his treasures. Edith Keyes, Alma Haessig and Marion Martin are intensely interested in a Fresh Air School for boys between the ages of seventeen (17) and twenty- eight (28). The only requirements other than that of age is that they must be “good looking.” Willard Pnnnett, John Ferner and Frederick Fox are as yet the only eligible applicants, although many at the sight of these fair damsels, immediately feel a strog and urgent need of out-of-door schooling. Jessie McIntyre is starring in a melo-drama entitled “The Diabolical Grin.” Her co-stars are Lola Stanton and Margaret Williamson, and the leading male role is taken by William Cushman, a “foot-light favorite.” Arthur Thompson is “tester” in a large “Hammock Factory.” His chief duty is to test the hammocks by reclining in them. A Charity Bazaar is to be given and the chief attraction offered is an exquisitely executed “anaesthetic” dance by Maxine Dillingham. The booths will be very artistically arranged under the espionage of Doris Fuller and Ruth Bentley, the leading decorators in Rochester. Ellwood Snider and Harold Johnson are prominent lawyers. Their clientele js chiefly made up of charming young ladies, who in many cases are suing for “breach of promise,” one of whom is Lois Wilson, otherwise known as “Lois the Heart-breaker.” 64 Gertrude Sutherland has taken Beatrice Fairfax’s place on the New York Evening Journal. She makes a great success in this line of work. Her advice to the lovelorn” is worth heeding. Raymond Ackerman is the persistent suitor of Katherine Kies, but her interests are so numerous that as yet she has not been able to decide which “interest” she prefers. Katherine Kerwan is an understudy of Pavlowa and at any moment she expects to step into fame for she is extremely clever in the art of dancing. Lillian Bemish and Ruth Bader have founded a “Pink Powder Factory” and are doing a flourishing business inasmuch as they guarantee their ammunition not to blow off. In the same town there is a large “Sour Pickle Factory.” At the head of it are Francis Pethick and Hedley Wilcox, while Robert Morrison, their widely- traveled agent, is endeavoring to get a monopoly on the largest sour pickle grown. Margaret Crowley, the charming young school teacher, now wears a diamond ring, but she has not yet announced her engagement formally. We dare not divulge the lucky man’s name. It is sufficient to say that he is almost worthy of Margaret. Of the “Reform School-on-the-Ontario” Victor Congdon is principal. He has turned many wayward boys into great men through his ability to bang out the best in even the “Most Depraved.” Erie Remington, the “Great Architect,” is a sample of what Victor can do in this line! ! In the-----------hangs a picture of Hulda Mathews, leader of the “first set” in New York. This beautifully executed portrait was painted by Casselman Hess, who is considered the best “comic artist” in the world. Gladys Miller has taken to high and fancy diving. She will stop in Rochester on her way to the North Pole from which she expects to dive—into space. Our old friend, Hazel JefFc is a scientific farmer, whose chief delight is in riding on a “Palm Beach Plow,” recently invented by Ina Lilleystone and Viola Duncan for lady-farmers. It is a great success. I turned to my friend, the proprietor, and thanked him for being such a “help in time of trouble.” “But,” said he, “have you not forgotten two members of your class?” In a flash it came to me I had not asked about Neva and George. I laughed aloud and said: “Oh, yes! but we do not think of them as two. I did not ask you for I am sure that they can be in naught but a state of “wedded bliss.” He gave the wheel a vigorous spin. When it had stopped he turned to me smilingly and said, “And now we will see what your future is.” Before I could stop him he had started the wheel. When it at last came to a halt I gazed at the future which it revealed to me. “Merciful Heavens, me for the river if that wheel told the truth!” Harriet Remington.

Now that makes three hundred feet or one hundred yards of poetry for my poor son to translate each day. I think about half a hexameter, or six inches, of this Latin is enough for a boy of his age.

The character of the plays given has been far, far above what the average high school attempts and while we have t ot equalled Edith Wynne Matthewson and Julia Marlowe our actors have taken difficult roles with surprising understanding and spirit. Though “The Piper” is not a Shakesperian play it has at least a Stratford flavor for it was first presented there as the prize winning drama in the jubilee of 19—. It is unique in its way for while it has the charm and fairy-fascination of the folk story its meaning is deep and beautiful—love is power, and conquers avarice, spite and indifference alike. The Piper himself is so whimsical, so com- plex, so fantastic a character it was hardly to be expected that a. student could comprehend it, yet Hariette Remington was able to do that and more. She put into her part a fine abandon and unconsciousness which drew her audience as the magic of the pipe drew the children. Miss Cowles as ‘Veronica,’ the mother, showed talent and the music of her voice, with its haunting pathos, will be long remembered. The play was crowded with other excellent performers—Miss Hulda Matthews as “Barbara,” Mr. Jaspar Willsea as “Michael,” Mr. Charles Martin as “Cheat-the-Devil,”—upon whom the credit of the play rests equally In all, there were nearly forty in the cast, including a most delightful group of children. The staging was complex and varied but most excellently well done, especially the street scene in Hamelin town. One bit of stage property capti- vated the fancy especially—the ark. Another element in the success was the large financial return— Ye'r one-hundred dollars. A helping factor was the elimi- nation of nearly all complimentary tickets. The Piper of Hamelin Town LL Senior Play Cast No recognition of Mrs. Ellis training in this play can be too high. Again in “As You Like It,” her success was pronounced. Those who know and care for Shakespeare, alone can realize what a good performance of one of his plays means to cast and director. The management was unusual and greatly facilitated the smooth production which a large audience highly commended. Collectively the cast was excellent and individually Rosalind excelled. All four loving couples in fact were notable, while the Curtises as Touchstone and Audrey took the popular fancy especially. The Mistress of the Robes, Miss Mary Fillmore, surely was highly successful, and there is hope that from a beginning now made, a wardrobe belonging to the Students’ Association may be developed, a great help and saving to future actors. Various theatres loaned scenery most generously. Neither play could not have been the success it was had it not been for the remarkably efficient assistance of Mr. LeBounty and Miss Murray, who are both gifted in this way. Gratitude is also due to Miss Tripp for generous help. The Shakesperian music in “As You Like It” was delightful to the audience, and to Miss Hogan the credit is due. In Doublet and Hose High School Life in Shakespeare Freshman Year: “A Comedy of. Errors.” Sophomore Year: “Much Ado About Nothing.” Junior Year: “As You Like It.” Senior Year: “All’s Well That Ends Well.” Cast of As You Like It” The Ancients Mr. Stowell:'“I am surprised at you, Murphy, that you cannot tell me when Christopher Columbus discovered America. What does the chapter heading of the week’s lesson read?” Murphy: “Columbus—1492.’’ Mr. Stowell: “Well, isn’t that plain enough? Did you never see it before? Murphy: “Yes, sir, but I always thought it was his telephone number. Mr. Stowcll’s class had been having a lesson in English history and King Charles had been the subject. Wishing to see how much the children were taking in the instructor put the following question: Can anyone tell me who was the monarch who had long, black, curly hair?

TIL5 i. Five years old! In that time, soccer has advanced from a minor to a major sport. In that time West High has held three championships, lost one, and tied one. Speaking in general terms of the past season there is nothing to regret. Although all games were not won, that does not detract from success in the final estimation, for an athletic contest is, in a larger sense, more than just beating the other fellow. Athletic relations between West High and Geneseo Normal were estab- lished. This being their first year of soccer, they were defeated twice. Our friends at Lima were tied on their home grounds and defeated on our field. With East High two games were lost and two won, when bad weather and other circumstances put a stop to the series. Financially, there was a defiicit. This was due to the fact that a large part of the equipment had to be renewed. So, considering it pro and con, the season for 1915 can be considered suc- cessful. The school has every reason to be proud of the men who represented it. Throughout the season they showed the qualities which go to the making of true sportsmanship and aggressiveness of the right sort in fighting for their Alma Mater. Manager—Robert Morrison. Assistant Manager—Dewitt Reed. The Team—Casselman Hess (Capt.), Mark F. Kirchmaier, Griffin Little, Earl Reed, Richard Wegman, Mcddleton Congdon, Harold Noble, Jack Pope, Charles Miihl, Clyde O’Brien, Robert Morrison, Harold Johnson, Carl Cham- berlain. 76 ASK ALL The 1915-1916 season of basketball was indeed a success. We had a very evenly balanced team and it co-operated perfectly in games. We were very strong in the defense this year with Captain Yawger and Jack Pope at the guard posi- tions, and with Irving Brooks and John Shirley at the forward position the offense made a good showing. With Harold Bartlett at the center position we always got the tip-off and thus started many a play which ended with a goal. With Erie Remington as utility man the team was complete. The season was more successful than any season in years both in winning games and financially. A great deal of credit for the success of the team this year is due Coach Gray, who encouraged us to fight harder when we lQ$t and praised us for our good work when we won. We want a good bunch out next year when the call for candidates comes. Captain—Foster Yawger. Manager—John Shirley.

Large tournaments and successful teams have put the game high in the minds of the student body. West High's last year’s team came through the season without a lost match, winning the Interscholastic Champion- ship of the city. With the loss of three members of last year’s team West High will have a hard row to hoe if they keep up the good work. Manager McNamee has arranged the most pretentious schedule that a West High tennis team has ever tackled The usual games with East High will be played. Lafayette and Nichols High of Buffalo will be played for the first time in five years. The big tennis event of the season will be the Park Club Tourna- ment held in Buffalo, which determines the Interscholastic Championship of Central and Western New York. We wish West High success in this tournament. The team is composed of Donald McKee, Harold McNamee, Henry Dutcher and Harvey Hunt, captain. Tennis Schedule April 22—Manlius at Manlius. Rain.

They went through the entire season without a manager, but although they practiced hard and developed well, the weather called a halt nearly every time a game was to he played. Games were scheduled with Lafayette, Nichols and Huchinson Central Schools of Buffalo, and the teams of East High, but only the East High games were played. The team played East High two games, losing the first by the score 2-1, and the second score, 2-0. The games were the best put up by a West High team in many years, being both fast and exciting, considering the fact that East High defeated all the Buffalo teams.

The credit for this we give mainly to Mr. A. J. Wile, who exerted himself exceedingly in the interests of the world-wide game. But unfortunately for us, Mr. Wile left our school to be secretary of the J. Y. M. A., and thereby virtually left us with- out any faculty member interested in chess, and of course this was a great blow to the activity. Our tournament with East High this year has come to a deadlock, as East High differed from us on a technicality, and Mr. Nelson Spencer, of the Roch- ester Chess Club, who has heretofore been our referee, was unable to continue as such any farther. And as we could not agree on a new referee, or on the tech- nicality in question, we were forced to a deadlock. We have attempted to secure games with Buffalo, but have failed owing to the fact that the Buffalo teams are as yet unorganized. Of course we still hold the large Scrantom-Wetmore Junior Chess League Cup, which we won from East High and the J. Y. M. A. last year. We have just received a challenge from East High for this cup, but we are confident of winning it again this year. Wallace P. Church, Capt. and Act.

Gym classes were well organized as September neared its close and soon alter the sound of basketballs could be heard if one chanced by about two- thirty in the afternoon. Exciting times followed the fall practice for the basketball finals. The Senior girls wore hopeful countenances for a while but soon they realized that with June 1918 they would “meet their Waterloo.” The final game was played between June 1918 and January 1919 with June T8 victorious. Hardly was this excitement over when volunteers for the Gym meet were called for. Wonders will never cease. A freshman class walked off with victory! A five-cent admis- sion was charged and the gymnasium was well filled. The audience had their money’s worth almost immediately for the freshmen aren’t slow and when Ruth Bentley of 1916 added her contributions, their pleasure was complete. An important factor of this year’s work was the formation of four Girls’ Clubs, the Senior and Junior, the Sophomore and Freshman Final, and the Freshman Term. Regulation business meetings were held each week and after business came play. Picnics have been planned and successfully carried out. The girls thoroughly enjoy this new attraction and, while a new thing, it has worked remarkably well. The Gym work closes this year with a bright outlook for the future, and although June 1916 will be missed, the younger classes bid fair to be their equal. 1916 Class Activities in the Gym since 1912 The Senior girls have been very active in athletics since their Freshman year. This has been so marked that it has been deemed wise to give record of their accomplishments. The seasons of 1913 and 1914 in basketball saw them the victorious cham- pions. The games were full of snap and good team work. When Katherine Kernan or Harriet Ziegler captured the ball there was sure to be a point gained. There is no doubt as to the important place “Midget” Bentley played, as side center and, with the many good guards which 1916 sent out, results are hardly to be wondered at. In the spring of 1915, the gymnasium rang with applause as the girls of the class put forth their best efforts in the meet and came out winners. The representation of Seniors fof 1 916 dwindled down to one, but still the honors of the class did not fade, for the silver cup was awarded to the lone 1916 star, Ruth Bentley, who gained the highest number of individual points. • The boys had their baseball teams and the girls, too, had not entirely lost themselves in their books for nothing daunted them. Baseball demanded their attention and in 1913 and 1915, a team, representative of the class, won the laurels of victory. To the final activity of each year we turn—tennis. Here we find but two of our class, Katherine Kernan and Ruth Bentley. However, for the last three years, they have kept the class well above water and many interesting sets have been played off. Following are the names of those winning monograms and numerals during the past four years: Monograms—R. Bentley, K. Kernan, H. Ziegler. Numerals—M. Barbour, R. Bentley, G. Elwell, K. Kernan, D.
