Roger Wixted THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 155 Class Officers Donald McKie - Franklyn Burke Alfred Sproat - Dorothy Wetmore - President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Class History Mark Twain has said that, “A lie if repeated often enough is history,” to which we heartily agree—at some times. Rut on the other hand, his- tory may also be the true story of the affairs of mankind in general, and of this class in particular. And although we do not think of contradicting that famous humorist, still we have decided to moke this exposition as true a history as the memory will permit. Four years ago we entered into a strange world. At first we were somewhat disappointed when the teacher did not ask us to remain after school and wash the blackboards, but later on. much to our sorrow, we found ourselves staying after school, but not to wash blackboards. Four years then seemed to be ages away, but they have passed in a very short time, and now that we are leaving these dear old halls, we are all hope- ful that our brief sojourn here has been one of value, both to ourselves and to our Alma Mater. Having completed the organization of the class in our first year, we were then well prepared for the events of the second year. In this year we held one of the most successful Sophomore Parties ever held in this school. Dancing and a most wonderful track meet were held in the corri- dors. Many times during the year the members of the class were called upon to assist in school activities, and at all times did they respond to any call for support. Entering upon the third year of our school life we found ourselves more deeply involved in school activities. During this year two events took place which tended to add more glory to the name of the class. The Junior “Prom” which was held was one of the most brilliant affairs in the history of the school. Departing from the time-worn custom of giving a single play, we staged a remarkably successful performance, consisting of four playlets written by members of the graduating Senior class. Thanks to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Ellis, Ferdinand Powell, Michael Crino and many others, the affair was a great success, and in- cidentally the treasury of the American Red Cross was enriched by a neat little sum. This fourth year has been the most successful of all. Although the numbers of the class have been greatly depleted because many of our boys have answered our country’s call for men. nevertheless, we have accomplished many tasks. The Senior Dance was very successful, in spite of the war conditions, and again the devotees to the pastime of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle enjoyed an evening long to be remembered. Again throwing aside the customs of the past we ran a vaudeville (or perhaps it’s vode-ville as Ruth Patrick and Dorothy Wetmore persist in saying) performance for two nights, the proceeds of which were used to purchase 156 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT a motor truck for Base Hospital Unit No. 19. In this way we have tried to combine our service with our own and the community’s amusement. Although we are but few in number, still we have been well repre- sented in the various school activities. In athletics we have been notably conspicuous in the persons of Donald McKie, Earl Reed, Francis Daniels and others, while Roberta Jennings, Roy Miller, Ferdinand Powell and Basil Moore have held up our honor in literature and art by serving the OCCIDENT to the best of their ability. Strange though it may seem, the boys out-number the fair sex on the Honor Roll, which brings out the truth that the boys will by some unaccountable reason, prove themselves just the least bit superior to the girls. But by no means is the entire ability of the class centered in the Honor Roll, for every member of the class is far beyond the lower classes of the school in intelligence. So therefore do you children who remain in school to complete your small store of knowledge, look to the example of the illustrious class of January, 1918, and profit thereby. ROSWELL, R. MARSHALL. What ho! Draw near! What have we here? A creature new! Is’t from the zoo? But why so queer? Methinks for sooth It’s Puss in Boots, In stories told, Or knight of old, Who stalks so bold. A word, my friend, Will quickly clear Your wonderment, So listen here. A damsel fair Is passing there About the streets, You’ll see she sloshes, For on her feet She wears galoshes! —MILDRED SMEED. THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 157 Class Prophecy The following article appeared in the Accidental Accident” during the month of May, 1923: PEACE SHIP TO SAIL. The “Fifty-Seven” to Embark. Noted Financiers on First Cabin List. May 30.—With minds crammed with conciliatory ideas, peace dele- gates under the invitation of Mr. Franklyn Burke, the manufacturer of the famous floating fish food, sails next week for Mexico. First cabin list is as follows: His Highness, The Earl of Reed, Mr. Ferdinand Powell, member of the staff of the “Accidental Accident”; Roy Miller, manufacturer of war munitions; Roswell Marshall, historian of the trip; Reta Eyer, the editor of “Eat and Grow' Thin,” with her agents, Ruth Sibley and Isabelle Lanson; Vera Wibur, the famous writer of free verse; Ruth Heckel, the most wonderful diver the world has ever produced; Maude Kahler and Maude Shone, agents for the 20-Mule-Team Borax; Mildred Smith, cham- pion exponent of Speech Arts; Roberta Jennings, superintendent of schools in New York State; Ruth Rahn, a missionary to Africa; Homer Lewis, inventor of toothpicks for horses; Donald Houghton, maker of soft drinks; Emilie Isler and Ruth Loomis, ballet dancers. After reading this article I laid the paper down and allowed my mind to drift back to January, 1918. I was soon aroused from my reverie by the postman’s knock. Much to my surprise I received an important looking letter from Mr. Franklyn Burke, inviting me to join his peace party. As soon as possible I completed all preparations for the journey and on June 2, I left Rochester for New York. When I reached Albany I was obliged to transfer to a different division of the railroad. Just as I was mounting the steps leading up to the train I heard a strangely familiar voice calling: “All aboard for New York, hurry lady!” “Ralph Eckhardt,” I shouted, “whatever are you doing here?” “Just waiting for the stock market to go up,” he replied. At this point he rushed to the assistance of an old woman carrying two band boxes and a bird cage; and my train pulled out. The next thing I re- member u'as the conductor shouting in my ear, “Fares, please.” I looked up and recognized Marguerite Vanderpool. She smiled in a sheepish way and I said: “You are doing active work, aren’t you?” “Sh,” she answered, “I thought I would like it, but one is so con- spicuous on a train as a conductress, so I’m going to get off next week, with the excuse that I’m to be married, but I haven’t got tbe man yet. As soon as I reached New York I went at once to the harbor and here joined the first cabin list. On June 4, amid great cheers the “Fifty-Seven” sailed out of New York Harbor. Three guns were fired in our salute. For the first three days there were no meetings held on board the ship. The reason for this was the calm condition of the water, Ahem! even the strong-minded superintendent of schools in New York State, Roberta Jennings, was scarcely able to eat her usual hearty meal. On the fourth day Mr. Burke called a meeting and many speeches were made. During the thrilling talk given by Frederick Haines who never swears, Mildred Smith interrupted. 158 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT “Miss Smith ’ shouted Mr. Burke, “Mr. Haines has the floor.” For the first time in her life Mildred Smith took her seat without expressing her opinion. For three days and five nights we sailed on the old Atlantic. On the 4th day we reached Vera Cruz. Here we were welcomed by a regiment of troops who were to take us to the new Ghent Hotel, which as I after- wards found out belonged to Raymond Ghent. Just as we were leaving the ship, a young man stepped up to Mr. Burke and said: “I beg your pardon, but I am the reporter for the Ukelele Telegram, and have been instructed to find out your plans. Could you give me a few moments now?” We gazed in astonishment at the audacity of the request, and then all shouted in unison “Roger Wixted.” He shook hands with each of us and wished us success on our expedition. But he seemed so full of business cares we did not have the heart to detain him long. On our way to the city we were greatly puzzled at the immense crowd ahead of us. The people seemed to be gathered around one center of at- traction. Our curiosity knew no bounds and on questioning one of our guides, we learned that a famous moving picture under the production of Towsley and Waring Company, was just in the operation of being completed. We also were told that their leading lady was Ethel Edick with Louise Gibbs, Grace Horner and Marguerite Nippert as understudies. Ethel dismounted gracefully from her horse and came toward us. We offered her our congratulations and again started on our journey. This time we reached the hotel without further happenings. There was a ball to be given in our honor on the night of our arrival in Mexico. The great Villa was to entertain us at his home. We ar- rived punctually at 9.45 o’clock (this was the stylish hour in Vera Cruz), Villa greeted us cordially and while the other members of the party were paying their compliments to the host I walked to the farther end of the room. Directly opposite to me stood a tall, dignified young woman. When she turned around I was almost guilty of an exclamation of surprise. I quickly crossed the room and greeted Miss Lillian Brautigam. After a few remarks I asked her what she was doing in Vera Cruz. In a very haughty voice she replied: “Evidently you have not read the newspapers lately. If you had you would have known 1 have been posing in the 'Hay- yard Studio’ for some time past.” After this remark 1 hastily made my adieus, for fear I might com- mit another unpardonable offense. A few mornings after the ball Mr. Y— and I decided to sec the sights of Mexico. We hired an auto for the morning and started on a tour of inspection. When we were about five miles out of the city we noticed a narrow but pretty road leading off the main road. It was soon decided that we investigate this novelty. Of course we saw a huge sign covered with hieroglyphics. But after one has been in Mexico for a time he soon becomes accustommed to these things. We had gone about half a mile up this road when we met a man carrying a large gun. “Stop,” he ordered, “didn’t you see that sign down yonder telling you this here land was private?” He took off his cap and waved it frantically in the direc- tion whence we had come. Both Mr. Y— and myself gazed in astonish- ment at Clinton Lintz. “Clinton Lintz, we plead guilty,” I replied. “Is it necessary to relate that we did not pay a fine to the plantation owner for trespassing?” Later on in the A. M. we were not so fortunate. We had promised to return to Vera Cruz at 12.30 o’clock. A little after eleven we were 45 miles from there. To add to our misfortune we had one of those cars THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 159 which would not go over thirty-seven miles an hour. Mr. Y— opened the throttle wide. We were soon making tine time when suddenly a man pointing two revolvers at us, ordered the machine to be brought to a standstill. He told us the speed limit was twenty-one miles an hour. He took us back to the nearest attorney. You may imagine the surprise when upon reaching the city we read in large letters: Alfred Sproat, City Counselor and Attorney. As we entered the office four stenographers rose to greet us (this was the custom in Mexico). We naturally felt chagrined, but our embarrassment knew no bounds when we recognized the four stenographers to be the Misses Dorothy Heinrich, Edith Kneeland, Monica Hayward and Alberta Schwcndler. When we greeted Mr. Sproat he gave one of his old time hearty laughs. And then he charged us a heavier fine than any other tourists have ever had to pay. At last we again started for Vera Cruz. When we were about ten miles from the city we had a blow out. As there was a large high school building a short distance away, I decided I would wait there until the machine was repaired. My knock at the door was answered by a very small girl. I asked to see the principal and was soon shown to the office. Much to my surprise I found Miss Dorothy Wetmore just in the act of punishing a refractory child. She greeted me with blushes and cordiality; then asked me to step into one of the rooms until she would be at liberty. In the next room I found Miss Verna Altpeter calmly instructing thirty youngsters. Before 1 had time to chat our machine was repaired and at the door. For the third time we were riding toward our destination. When we finally reached the city we decided it would be wise to go to the bank before meeting the rest of our company. The experiences of the morning had greatly diminished our funds. Something seemed familiar in the appearance of the girl at the cashier’s window. I stopped a moment to look more closely and was soon shaking hands with Nelda Masters. As I walked to the farther end of the bank. I met Florencce Schneider just coming out of the private office with Phyllis VanCise. After waiting some time for Mr. Y— I came to the conclusion that it was taking too long to write a check. Thoroughhly out of patience, I went over to the teller’s window to see what was keeping him. I found him calmly con- versing with the young girl in charge of the window. He seemed to be quite unconscious of the long line of business men he was detaining. But I too forgot about them when I recognized the young lady as no other than Doris Logan. On passing out of the bank I noticed Morris Almstead, about whom I heard later that he was married to Adelaide Schaefer, and going out with other women. I noticed also Francis Daniels, who spoke to me and told me that he had established a system of academies all over the country, and had Mildred Smead as his private secretary and Lucy Gay as tht fessor of French. As we stepped out of the bank I saw a limousine stop and out jumped Ray Huls; as he passed I noticed he had another boil on his neck. We got into the machine and started for the hotel. On our way we passed a large home and on the porch was this astonishing sign: “McKie and Schoeffel. Undertakers.” A little farther we noticed a little governess wheeling a baby carriage. It was Sarah Bond. She waved to me and we stopped. She told me she was governess at the Madden Homestead, and that she was wheeling James K. Madden’s son. I took a peek and found him to be the image of his father. We drove on and soon .came to the hotel, where we met Basil Moore, who told us he was winning fame with his speeches on ‘‘World Peace.” This is the future of the Class of January, 1918. 160 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT SONG OF THE SWEATER: MY ROWS-AWRY My rows-awry, The hours I've spent in sweater art, Are like a string of pearls, I sigh To count them over every one a part, My rows-awry, my rows-awry.

He was really a Bostonian, but was taken by many people who saw him and watched him, to be a westerner. This young man produced a card from his vest pocket and, having hailed a taxi, gave the address, scribbled on the card, to the driver. Ten minutes later the servant who opened the door at this address, took his card and preceded him to a large room from which came the sound of music and laughter. His guide entered the room, advanced to where a young woman stood laughing with her dancing partner, and ad- dressed her. “A gentleman, madam. Madame took the card and read,, John M. Rodney. Oh, it’s Jack aready! she exclaimed, and turned eagerly toward the door. Jack stood in the doorway. His eyes swiftly swept the room in search of his friend. Rut to his surprise and disappointment, he did not see the man whom he had promised and arranged to visit. Instead, coming quickyly towards him, with outstretched hands and a happy, expectant smile, was a young woman who was an absolute stranger. “Oh, Jack, this is splendid! she cried, when Jack had, with some embarrassment, taken her hands in his, I didn’t expect you until eleven- thirty ! Jim! she broke off to address a young man who was approaching, Jim, Jack has come earlier than we expected. As “Jim extended his hand to the bewildered Jack, she continued: This is my husband, Mr. Whittier, Jack--------. Goodness! You are browner and taller than I had expected. Jack, up to this point, had had no opportunity to put in a word edge- wise, except to murmur, Glad to know you, when introduced to Mr. Whittier, and now he wet his lips, preparatory to protesting and ques- tioning Mrs. Whittier, when that worthy person turned and addressed her wondering, curious guests. “This is my cousin, Jack Rodney, a westerner, who is to spend a few weeks with Mr. Whittier and myself. The guests all surged forward to meet him, and Jack was certainly, as he expressed it to himself, in deep. By the time introductions were over Jack had realized that Mrs. Whittier had been expecting her western cousin, a second Jack Rodney, and had naturally taken himself, blundering idiot that he was, for her cousin. He collected his scattered thoughts and pondered. There were two ways of escape. One was to explain to Mrs. Whittier that he hated to disappoint her, but that he was not her fortunate cousin, but had blundered into the house without even inquiring at the door whether he had the right house; and then, having made a fool of himself generally, leave the house with a feeling that he was about two cents. Decidediy he did not relish this method. The other way was to continue his decep- tion, remain until eleven-thirty when the regular cousin would be due, and take leave of Mrs. Whittier, using some excuse. He liked the latter method a great deal more. THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 163 At this point his meditations were abruptly interrupted by a young girl, who demanded stories, exciting and western. For a minute Jack was “stumped.” How could he tell these people of the West when he had never been there? His adopted-for-thc-evcning-cousin soon added to his trouble with: “Oh, Jack, tell us about that escapade in Mexico, which your mother wrote me of.” “What next?” Jack groaned to himself. If he could get out of this house without losing his dignity—! What could he say to that? The guests added their pleas and settled comfortably expectant. “Ah—er—the fact is—a—mother—he began desperately and then an inspiration came to him. “Mother didn’t say how much she had told you of that—er—incident.” “Oh, begin at the beginning, Jack, your mother merely mentioned it and said you would tell us about it when you came east. She also said that she had heard it through letters, and she thought it would be much more interesting if you told it.” “Ah!” Jack breathed freely again. So his mother thought that! Also he could leave out his brand new mother in whatever he said! He could tell them of that time when------. “All right,” he answered, “here goes! The trouble all started with mistaken identity.” Jack chuckled inwardly at that, “mistaken identity.” “Several years ago, having arranged with a friend to meet him in Mexico City, I arrived there one day ahead of time, and upon entering an eating place. I learned that two men (Mexicans) were following me. I was con- siderably amused when they sat down at the same table with me and so I engaged them in conversation. All that day they trailed me and the next morning when I met my friend, as arranged, I informed him of it, and asked him to follow them, which he promised to do. “I waited until it had grown dark and then I went out, picked out a dark, empty street, and then turning around, I waited for the two Mexi- cans. When they reached me, I said: “ 'If you will kindly tell me why you are following me, gentlemen—’ “One of them interrupted, sneeringly, T guess that isn’t necessary,’ he said with the peculiar accent which Mexicans use when speaking Eng- lish. ‘Now you better come with us and carry out your original intentions.’ “ ‘Evidently you have mistaken me for someone else.’ I began. “ ‘Oh, we know you all right! Come on this way.’ “Glancing back, I saw my friend and motioned him to follow. “ ‘All right I agreed. “After a few minutes’ walk we entered an old house, which we entered. Inside I saw a sullen but striking Mexican girl, who rose as we entered. “ ‘That is not he, father she cried., “ ‘What!’ the man who had done the speaking formerly, shouted. “ ‘I never saw him before, father!’ “ ‘Well, he’s as good as the other one and if the other suited you, this one will have to. I’m sick of your fooling. Stand over here and marry this one!’ “You cannot imagine how I felt for a moment after he had spoken, but then I knew, by the expression on the man’s face, he meant what he said, so then and there, having shouted to my friend outside, I went after them, with the assistance of the girl, who didn’t any more want to marry (Continued on page 172) The Senior Occident Staff THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 165 Senior Occident Staff EDITORIAL STAFF Lucy Jane Gay Roswell Marshall Ruth Patrick Doris Whiney Logan Dorothy Wetmore Donald Houghton Francis Daniels Basil E.

We are now Seniors, Seniors who have trod the paths of learning almost to the jumping off place. We are every one of us flowers of education and cuulture. We can tell a periphrastic when we see one, and we are often able to do difficult algebra and occasional geometry problems. Some of us are sorry to leave thee, dear Alma Mater, and doubtless some of us are glad. Pm positive none of us would retrace our steps even were it possible. No sad pensive feel- ing steals over us when we think of next year and the year after next and the next and the next spent far away from thy dear portals. Perhaps thou too wilt soon forget the illustrious class of .January, '18. We, of January, '18, will soon be on our way rejoicing, to “fresh fields and pas- tures new”; on to success and happiness. And yet—and yet (will the assistant editor please hand me my handkerchief) it seems a pity to leave you, West High, when we have just begun to appreciate you, just barely learned your ways. Please don’t forget us. West High, entirely. When we visit you for a day some Christmas vacation, don't give us a cold stare, but try and remember us as we will remember you, as a guiding hand “onward and upward.” The editors of these bright and witty pages wish to be congratulated. As a result of much rag-chewing they have not dubbed one of their class- mates in the words of Shelley, or is it Kelley? “Divinely fair and most divinely tall,” nor have they remarked once that “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” It was only after much thoughtful and painful de- liberation that they were able to escape these dear, old standbys.

Business Manager Advertising Manager Asst. Advertising Manager “There is no such thing as gallantry in West High School.” This is rather a sweeping statement, but when you think it over you will se that it is all too true. To come down to the point—every social event of the school has to be chaperoned bv one or more members of the faculty. They are expected to attend our affairs not as guests or even as on-lookers, but as people on whose shoulders the responsibility of our good time rests. Do we worry as to whether they enjoy themselves or nut ourselves out to entertain them? Not so but far otherwise. This is about what happens. They come unaccompanied, practically no one sneaks to them or acknowl- edges their presence. They spend the evening looking at the sfatuarv and pictures and trying to look pleased and entertained. After it is all over they must see that everything is intact and unharmed. Thpv are Dip last ones to leave the building, usually considerably past midnight. Ask almost any faculty member and vou will find th®v would rather cor- rect regents papers or wash dishes than attend a West High entertain- ment. For a school of our size and reputation this condition is awful, for it shows that something is radically wrong with our code of ethics. The onlv explanation of it is that we are selfish and thoughtless. The onlv remedy is immediate reformation. The next party we have, shock and horrify your chaperone bv asking he� to dance, or bv talking to him or her a few moments, make her wonder what under the sun’s hap- pened by offering her some punch. When you leave wish her good nivht iust for fun. Do your level best. West High, to make the quotation, for it is a genuine quotation, with which this paragraph began, a dark thing of a barbaric past. Do you still wash the dishes for your mother and do all vour study- ing in the afternoons? Do vou continue to cease from using objectionable language known as “slang”? Are you still working for A’s and still depositing that dime regularly everv week? Can it be th� t you are still opening doors for teaehprs and not beating your poor, little sister when she annovs you? In other words, are your New Year’s resolutions still alive and flourishing? A new term is almost upon us. a new term in which you may partially at least erase your slate and begin fresh with a new reputation to make. Keep your nice, new resolutions as long as possible, and when you are forced to give them up, break them gently. The Press Club THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 169 The Press Club The Press Club is composed of Elbert Angevine, Joseph Knobles, Basil Moore, Douglas Donald and Roy Miller. The very important duty of informing the world of the affairs of the school is intrusted to them. Through their efforts the games and social events have been made more successful. Teacher (to pupil in back of room 63)—“What animal is satisfied with the least nourishment?” “The both! It eats nothing but holes.” We as a student body owe a very big vote of thanks to Mr. Carkin and his two assistants, Ray Beers and Harold MacFarlin, for the splendid work they have done for our school this term. It was through their united efforts that the home room competitive system was put in running order. It is due to them that the sale of soccer and other tickets broke all previous records. Especially has the Occident benefited by their work. Some real Occident spirit has been unearthed, some genuine en- thusiasm and pep. But most of all. these boys have instilled in us an interest in the financial success of our activities and a desire to do our bit in making them a success which it is hoped will be lasting. They have generously given their time and a great amount of unselfish, hard w'ork. The least we can do is to thank them most heartily and stand behind them. It was the first time Walter Bennett had ever seen a snake, about eight years ago, and as he ran into the house he called to his mother, “O, mother, come quick! Here’s a tail wagging without a dog.” We have been obliged to take several reefs in the editorial sails this month. Our worthy predecessors, the regular Occident staff, have set a standard rather difficult to reach. The Occident certainly has taken a new lease of life this term. Several brand new AI ideas have been caught and a goodly lot of genuine originality has sprung up in these pages. Every number has had some new little idea stunt up its sleeve; we have been tricked into reading the “Dear Editor” complaints under the guise of the “Indig Nut” column and 1 know' that some of us have actually raid the editorials since the editors have taken to writing snappy sketches instead of revising antique sermons.

HOW THE CHILDREN DO CHANGE 1914—This is a specimen of our quaint Freshman prattling. “The first day at high school I was awful scared. Everybody called me freshy and I had an awful time getting around. One stewdcnt told me to take the elevator to the 4th floor and there wasn’t any elevator or any 4th floor either. I expected the work would be easy because 1 always use to get 100 in arithtmetic and 98 in spelling, but I got stung in high skule— alegabra isn’t a bit like arithmetic. Mamma says I don’t have to stay in high skule though if it’s too hard for me. 1918—This is the way we write our Senior essays. Theoretically speaking, the higher academic life of which we now take part is a very complex problem. It is a typical example of the homologosity of the nation as a whole, in truth a veritable melting pot. The ambiguous in- consistencies to be found in it demonstrate the instability of these coma- tose times—oh tempora, oh mores.” A SUBSTITUTE COUSIN (Continued from page 163) me than I did her. It was pretty lively in that house for the next few minutes, and when my friend and I left, wfe were in a hurry and did not dally on the way. That ends my story, he said, “but I wonder if that Mexican girl has yet found her should-be husband. As he stopped talking, Jack pulled out his watch and saw that it was eleven o’clock. He would stay until eleven-thirty. Won’t you go on dancing, Mrs. Whittier? he asked. I haven’t seen any dancing in two or three years and from what I hear, it has greatly changed. Why, yes, was the reply. Then the same young girl who had asked him of the West, offered to teach him the new steps, and he readily agreed. The time passed swiftly and Jack still remained. Eleven-thirty came and passed, quarter of twelve and then a sleepy but amazed servant en- tered the room, followed by a husky young man. The latter stopped at the door and waited expectantly. Jack realized immediately that the real cousin had arrived. He cast one agonized glance at Mrs. Whittier, who was staring in amazement at the newcomer. Then Jack made a dash for the door, pushed aside the man there, raced down the hall and slammed the door after him. When he stopped for breath, Jack wondered how the real cousin was progressing with Mr. and Mrs. Whittier.

With Pete Howard as captain and Wray Rawlings as manager they have a good start in that direction. Pete Howard is a veteran of two seasons and will no doubt lead his men at a fast pace. This year's manager has succeeded in arranging a schedule includ- ing many of the fastest teams in Western New York. The men this season with the team are all players of experience, having played last season with the reserves. Red Gee and Moshier are developing into a steady, strong defense and will give the opposing forwards much trouble. At center, Harvey Morgan will play a fast game. Butch McKie and Howard will be seen at forward and are expected to play a game which will cause worry in East High’s camp. With most of the schedule before them we wish them much success in the coming season.

His success 180 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT was beyond all expectations and West High’s team had to fight all the way through the season. The team opened the season by defeating East High by a score of 3 to 2. With this victory behind them they proceeded to clean up every team on the schedule except the Orientals. Here they paused. On the 12th of October they were defeated for the first time that year. East High had the game at their home pitch, which by the way, was flooded at the time, and proceeded to win by the close score of 2 to 1. This game left the championship undecided so another game was staged on November 9. At the final game West High was supported by about one thousand rooters who were expecting victory. West High ended the game defeated, 5 to 0. Although defeated in the city championship they represented one of the fastest bunches in interscholastic soccer.

Dear me, how the periods lengthened each moment When we wished to go to the “movies” that day! But now we are Seniors—we won’t make a comment. Except that we’re sorry to go on our way. There’s Dorothy, Roswell, Roth Morris and Phyllis; There’s Marion, Ferdinand, Edith and Ruth. Come, comrades, and join us and sing a farewell song. To dear old West High, which we all love so well. We hope that we’ll see you sometime in the future, And run up those stairs at the sound of the bell. Both teachers and pupils we hope you will miss us. Although we feel sure that our place will be filled By Juniors and Sonhomores, even by Freshmen, Who are very much by our dignity thrilled. There’s Nelda and Ethel. Both Grace and Roberta. And all of the others Of January, ’18. RUTH LOOMIS. EDITORS LAST WORD You have now finished reading one of the year’s best publications. And we presume you don’t like it. Doubtless you have located in these pages all your favorite, old chestnuts—if you haven’t you can find them with little trouble in the Life, Judge and funny papers for the last ten years. We admit that everything that’s good in this book has been cribbed —but all we can say is when your turn comes and you, youthful Fresh- man, sophisticated Soph or ambitious Junior, reach our plane, try doing this thing yourself and see how you like it. 182 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT N.

With a list of the graduates in my hand, I started out to get my ma- terJUi a ter 5? ny 1ays .of careful searching I came upon John Neun and Lillian Tegg Neun keeping a home for stray cats. A startling advertisement in the window of Neal Howard’s second- hand shop revealed the fact that our class was not without dramatic talent as it advertised the Gillette Stock Company, playing the tragedy of the Missing Link at the Haker Theater, starring Fred Engelhardt, supported by Helene Clark. Oliver Steinmann is a flourishing undertaker, owing to the kind as- sistance of Rev. Thomas Caffery and the inefficiency of Doctor Edmund Flack. Beware of this trio! James Rawiings is a conductor on the Manitou line. Quite a surprise, James! Charles Hutchinson has married Ruth Howard and is running a fruit stand on Front Street. Alice Arthur is a telephone operator at Painted Post. She reads novels between calls. Some job, Alice! Marian Cushman is rather well known in the city. Her face peers out at you from the street cars, bill-boards and magazines. She is the Chewing Gum Girl, the Sunshine Girl, the Shredded Wheat Girl, etc. The manager of the Midnight Follies of 1931, who is George William- son, has engaged Allene Wester, Mary Kinne, Dorothea Fisher, Bertha Kern, Miriam Ilaag, Ethel Baker and Irene Graves. Evelyn East, Florence Petterson, Grace Eysvogal and Ethel Chappel are pasting labels in Fred Cole’s canning factory, from which Doris Keenan and Irene Lanson have been discharged for being the instigators of a strike. They are now serving their sentence in the Monroe Penitentiary. Raymond and Ralph Doughty have established a bakery and have hired Helen Corser and Sylvia Leary to make their doughnuts. The appearance of the Wiser and Leary Circus made it somewhat easier for me to accomplish my undertaking. Thinking that Harold or Bernard might know what had become of some of the others, 1 went to them. My intuition was correct; the first one to greet m3; eyes was Emily Bennett, selling tickets at the entrance and working overtime on a package of Cecil Kuhn’s new kind of highly flavored chewing gum. Having entered the grounds I first turned my attention to the animals and was delighted to find that Carlyle Leddon was their trainer. While I was waiting for the performance to commence, the ring master appeared, leading a shining black charger on which was graceful y posed Thelma Daus, the beautiful bareback rider. On closer observation the ring master proved to be Michael Crino. With the appearance of so many of my former classmates, the circus had so much attraction for me that I decided to see it all. One of the best features of the show was. That Daring Trio!! George Bellows, Anna Idle and Roy Purdy, in acrobatic array, jumping wildly from one trapeze to another. . . .. Caesar’s ghost! I was never more startled when I recognized the sedate little Edna Butterfield as the Salome dancer. Horrifying!! That nearly finished the show for me, but 1 took my courage in hand and went on. . _ . . The side shows were even more amazing. William Gee makes a splen- did wild man from Borneo and Elizabeth Harrison, the most effective Hula 4] dancer, one could ever imagine. Judith Viall is really a very successful snake charmer. __ _ Horrible, 1 know, but true nevertheless! I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Lorna Evarts sitting majestically in a chair on a raised platform, posing as the fat woman. She certainly makes a good one, for she looks as if she weighed three hundred pounds at least. Rolling exercise might do some good, but then 1 suppose she would be out of a job. Lillian and Loretta McCarty are perfectly splendid dancers. The Hawaiians would never recognize their native dance! James Howell is their Barker. He ought to make a good one if a name has anything to do with it. By this time I was extremely excited but the dare-devil dive, performed by Pauline Howland, Gertrude Kent, Roy Borncamp and Roy Crissy took my breath away. Some of the clowns were Joseph Carney, Paul Lyddon, Joseph Knobles and Leigh Jacques. The circus would not be complete without the tight-rope walkers, Lee Towsley and John Rowe. Very much pleased with the circus and the help it had given me, I re- turned home. In various other ways I was informed what the following are doing: Milton Moshier owns a restaurant in Fairport noted for its pretty waitresses, among whom are Adelaide Ets, Marian Fish, Dorothy Cook, Cleo England, Lois Sprague, Elizabeth Heckel, Florence Kennell and Lillian Wadsworth. The biggest drawing card is the beautiful cashier, Frances Dailey. Fred De Gelleke, under an assumed name, has set up quite a business as a French milliner. It’s not a man’s work, but then, Fred was always so petit! I was very proud to find that Jean Rettie, that poetic girl, is writing rhymes for Campbell's soup. It is interesting to note that Morris Cook has a large practice as a beauty doctor and that Berenice Torpy is one of his best patients. Doris Marshall is playing opposite Ray Hartzel in the movies, while Robert Griffith is playing the villain. Gee! I bet Bob's jealous! Ethel Fulton is one of New York's best policewomen. Her latest achievement was the rounding up of Claus Kirsch and his gang of safe- breakers and Kenneth Tompkins for pick-pocketing, thereby ridding New York of two of its cleverest crooks. Douglas Donald, our class artist, is keeping up the good work and was seen last artistically decorating a bill-board. Lois Leggett and Margaret McCormack, who are laundresses at the State Hospital, kindly informed me that Earl Whipple and Henry Nellis are keepers there. The manager of the Corinthian, who, by the way, is Clarence Doerr, sent me a notice saying that John Powers, known to the fighting world as Mr. Solly Plexy, the Terror, is engaged to fight Robert Webster, or Robert the Last Hope. Edward Ward is in business with Harold O’Neill, keeping a junk and scrap establishment. Some of their most efficient rag sorters are Ruth Perrin, Joanna Linke. Freda Rau and Kathleen Bendon. Kenneth Jones is their head collector, “Any bottles! Any bones! Any rags today!!” Don’t tell anyone, but Muriel Bentley is the real writer of “Dotty Dimples Advice to the Lovelorn.” Does she speak from experience? I wonder! Marian Fox and Elizabeth Eiger have donated their services to the Salvation Army and hold their meetings on the corner of Water Street 42 every Tuesday and Thursday. Elizabeth sings and Marian accompanies her on the organ. The Ferner, Jackson and Gibb Co. have started a scientific farm near Batavia, New York, and have rounded up as their employees Lucille Hub- bard, housekeeper ; Winifred Mergott and Mable Ward as cook. Harry Trentman is superintendent, Orin Kondolf foreman and the tractor drivers, Loraine Osborne, Lettie Le Compte, Fern Fuller and Bessie Miller. William McKee is the chief chore-master. The fruit-pickers are Alma Schalber, Marvel Sherman, Mary Street and Margaret Tracy. It’s a great life if you don't weaken! Marian Clarkson is the clever successor of Mary Pick ford and Ruth King is a second Theda Bara. Marian Punnett and Lillian Remington are mail carriers on the aero route from New York to Chicago and they say that George Kondolf and William Woodruff have gone in search of the North Pole. The champion carpet beater for the Rescue Mission is Evelyn Rich- mond. Her muscular power was undoubtedly gained through tennis playing. The Clifton Sisters' tailor shop is widely known for its high-grade ladies' apparel. They have with them as models, Gladys Cooper, Edna Aston, Edith Bonehill, Harriet Wright and Dorothy Widner. Rather a surprising class, is it not? As for myself, in my spare moments, 1 am selling alarm clocks to com- pensate for lost time. Class $oem djougrfjts At ttje Cross oabs We have almost reached the cross-roads Between the world and school, We are ready to don the armor, And work, each with his tool. We may share the fate of others, And somehow drift along, Or we may rise above them. And live amid the strong. But no matter what we do, We should always do our best To give fame to this school of ours; We should always stand the test. And as the years roll onward, May her name be ever fair! And may she be proud indeed Of her Fighters of Life “out there! —Jean Y. Rettie. 43 Class J istorp—June 1918 “The class of June ’18.“ What a different meaning that name has for us now as we are being graduated than it had four years ago! We reminisce-—perhaps for the first time with regret that those days are over__and recall the time when we first entered West High’s corridors. How vainglorious we were and how soon were our proud spirits humbled! We found to our amazement that we received not a particle of the attention that was ours in grammar school. Instead we were despised by Seniors and Juniors alike and looked down upon with contempt by even haughty frosh finals. But our class soon accustomed itself to its new environment. Other classes soon began to be aware of its presence. They realized that a note- worthy group had come into their midst. Our first year was spent mainly in organizing for the work in the three years to come. During this year, however, we held our Freshman Reception, an innovation in the school at that time and later adopted by the incoming classes. We grew in importance and in wisdom—as in stature—as time went on. In the second and third years, we conducted various activities, among which the Soph Party, the Junior Play and the Junior Dance were of prime importance. During this period many of our literary and athletic geniuses came into prominence. We attained our greatest success in this last, our fourth year. This has been a notable year in the history of West High School. Much was accomplished towards helping our country in her time of need. A Liberty Bond social was given by the school in general, but supported largely by the Senior class, the proceeds of which—over seven hundred dollars—pur- chased Liberty Bonds in behalf of the Students’ Association. The vaude- ville performance, in which the two Senior classes co-operated, played to full houses for two consecutive nights. With the proceeds, and an appro- priation from the Students' Association, we purchased a motor truck which was presented to Base Hospital 19 in this city. Throughout we have shown our ability to conduct affairs in a manner befitting students of West High. Socially, our history has been similar to that of other classes. But we have made many remarkable records along different lines. Our laurels have been especially well taken care of in athletics. Neal Howard, William Gee and Milton Moshier were the stars on last season’s basketball team which brought the championship back to West High after eleven years of defeat. In baseball we have been represented by Earl Whipple, William Gee, Henry Nellis, Joseph Knobles and Roy Borncamp; in soccer by Michael Crino, Neal Howard and Earl Whipple; and in hockey by Paul Lyddon and Joseph Knobles. George Kondolf has been our mainstay in tennis. Evelyn Richmond, Sylvia Leary, Berenice Torpy, Margaret Tracy and many others have captured honors in athletics on the girls’ side. Besides all this athletic ability, we have been active in the field of literature and art. Especially commendable has been the work of Evelyn Richmond, Edmund Flack, Robert Griffith and Douglas Donald on the 44 Occident staff. Their efforts, in collaboration with the other members of the staff, have raised the Occident standard higher than ever before. We are also fortunate in having in our class Frederick Cole and Charles Hutchinson. Many times has the entire student body enjoyed Fred’s splendid piano playing and Charles’ wonderful vocal selections. No less to be noticed is the fact that scholarship ranks high with us. With all our calls to duty during our school careers, we have steadily and firmly adhered to our fixed purpose—that of attaining the greatest possi- ble accumulation of worthwhile knowledge. Twenty honor students—a number that any class would be proud to claim! And mostly girls, at that, which is significant. Such is our history. We are a great class sure enough, even the Post- grads admit that. Our president, John Neun, has led us with splendid success through the last years of our course. We have always been dis- tinguished ; we intend to become more so in later life. We have been digni- fied always, we have been loyal to our class and our school. What is in store for us we hardly dare to predict. We leave dear old West High and enter into a changed world with a feeling of gratitude to those who have done so much for us and with a firm and unfaltering de- termination not to disappoint them in their high hopes for us.

The play, “The Twig of Thorn, given by the Junior classes this year was a huge success, owing no doubt to the fact that the cast included several members of our class. Carol Livingstone, Madeline Housman and Le Roy Miller all had leading parts. Leo Knight was also in the cast. Class of June, 1919 The class of June 1919 has just finished up a very successful year owing to the support of the members and also of the class advisers, Miss Gibbs and Mr. Holmes. Le Roy Beers, president; Katherine Ilowk,, vice- president; Kenneth Boyer, secretary; and Brenda Glass, treasurer, have again held the officers' positions of the class. Beside these, Gladys Von Deben, Elizabeth Barr and Le Roy Beers have upheld the interests of the class in the Executive Council. One of the best Junior “Proms was run by this class, combined with January 1919 class, on March eighth. This was clue to the efforts of Wini- fred Cowles, Herbert Messenger and Paul Whipple. Then the greatest of all Junior Plays was put forth by this class, combined with the January class, on May third. Winifred Cowles played the leading role, Ralph Allen was Advertising Manager and Allen Thomas was Business Manager. ■ Also twenty-six of the boys took a week-end trip to Cornell University where they were heartily entertained by the different fraternities. With this record behind it the class of June 1919 passes on to its Senior year wishing success to those about it, and aspiring to make another successful year for itself. Kenneth Boyer, Secretary. One morning J. Ilowell looked over his fence and said to his neighbor: “What are you burying in that hole?” “Just replanting some of my seeds, ’ was the answer. “Seeds!” exclaimed Jimmy angrily, ‘it looks more like one of my hens.” “That’s all right,” said the other, “the seeds are inside.” C. Gibbs “Suppose when 1 get up 2,000 feet in the air this machine suddenly falls?” Salesman Crino—-“We warrant all our goods. You can bring it back.” 48 Class of 1010 Class of January, 1920 At a class meeting held during the month of February, 1918, the boys and girls of the class of January 1920 elected the following officers for the Junior year: President, Francis Remington; vice-president, Doris Smith; secretary, Samuel Danno; treasurer, James Gray; members of the Lx- ecutive Council, Doris Rankin, Arthur Jones and Ernest Ward. The first event of the new year was the Sophomore Party which was a grand success. In this, both the January and June classes participated. Next came the big event of the year, the Sophomore Sleighride. It was well attended and although we did not make much money on it, every per- son that attended was satisfied. To the chairman of the Sophomore party belongs a great deal of praise for the excellent results obtained. This super-being was none other than James Gray. In the scholastic line we have numerous stars, but the most luminous are Everett Partridge, “Vic” Moyes, “Art” Henderson, “Irish” Gaffney, Doris Rankin and Doris Smith. Our class team, with the following stars, Campbell, Remington, White, Gaffney, Coaker, Stadler and Stell, won the school championship in basket- ball. In athletics we are represented by many, some of the best being: “Chet” Stadler, who pitched a two-hit game this season; “Hank” Rohrer, infielder-piteher, and Carl Campbell, the track man. We have been here two and a half years and we earnestly wish that we had that many years more to go, but the majority of us will leave our Alma Mater in a year and a half while others will see the above wish ful- filled. In closing we wish those leaving school, both Seniors and those enlist- ing, the best of luck for the remainder of their days on this wide, wide earth. Samuel J. Danno, Secretary. Class of June, 1920 The class of June 1920 is finishing its second year of its existence in West High School. Although we were not so successful in sports as in the first year the social events made up for the loss. The Sophomore Party which included the class of January 1920 was the first social event. Danc- ing and games made the time My and all present appeared to enjoy them- selves, even the parents. Refreshments were also served. Plans for a sleighride were made but the weather interfered and a party was held in- stead. A basketball game was first on the program, followed by dancing. A fine supper was served and certain members made speeches. After the suppei the dancing was continued and when the parting time came every- body was sorry to leave. The class has also purchased class pins of a de- lightful and pleasing type. T J!® £ r,s' class officers are: President, Martha Spinning; vice-presi- dent, Winifred Weet; secretary, Dolores Kellogg; treasurer, Olive Ladd. 50 Class of 1920 Class; of January 1921 The class of January 1921 has been only a short time in West High school but its career has been more eventful than most people would at first suppose. To begin with the class has a fine staff of officers: President, Lyle Wood; vice-president, Donald MacMasters; secretary� Ernest Under- wood. The class has always been in the van in athletics, winning the cham- pionship in tennis and the championship in the Freshman Baseball League and playing the championship game in basketball, baseball and soccer in the inter-class contests. The track team also placed second in the inter- class track meet last spring, being beaten only by 1919, and beat East High Freshmen a few weeks later. The class also has a good showing on the school teams, Hartson, Wood and Makins on the track team; Metz on the baseball team and Hartson on the tennis team. The track team is determined to beat 1919 in the next inter-class meet. At the present time the track team is making arrange- ments for a meet with the January '21 class of East High School. Class of June, 1921 This class has been in high school only a short time, but it certainly thinks that West High is a fine place. A class meeting was held recently at which the following officers were elected: Boys—President, George Codd; vice president, Earl Steeves; secre- tary, Harold Woodruff; treasurer. Wilford Getman. Girls—President, Eunice Hutchinson; vice president, Dorothy Mar pies. She used to sit upon his lap, As happy as could be, Hut now it makes her seasick— He has water on the knee. Cholly “After all, fools make life amusing. When all the fools are dead I don’t want to be alive.” Gwendolyn—“Don’t worry, you won’t be.” Many West High pupils, in spite of the Anti-Swearing Campaign, are seen to indulge in wooden swearing—slamming doors. 52 Class of 1921 Class of 1922 Senior Annual Board Senior Annual JBoarb Evelyn Richmond Paul Lyddon .....

It is the first page that the average youth turns to when looking over his newspaper. Without newspaper notice athletics would not have risen to the high plane that they have attained. It is this advertising that goes a long way toward the making of an athletic team. During the past school year West High has been favored with news- paper notices that have helped the various teams on in their weekly matches. Always have the school correspondents been real live supporters of the teams. Elbert Angevine, Welden Hames and Joseph Knobles have represented the different papers in our city for West High activities and have done extraordinarily well. The first has been more in the line of an assistant manager to the athletic activities instead of a press agent. As he is a Junior in school rank it means that West High is assured of real support in the local papers for some time.

Cfje Canary Club On account of the war many of our most talented “chirpers” left their bird cage and winged their way over to France in hopes of “winging” a German. It was this patriotic circumstance that caused the remaining studious canaries to be a trifle delinquent in rendering harmonic melodies. However, no birds ever sang so sweetly or conscientiously. Be it said to their credit that the “chirpings” were pleasing to the ear as evidenced by the thunderous applause given them in assemblies. No effort to annihilate the canaries was made during the performances which is a compliment in- deed. We trust that next year the canaries will please us by a much longer program and that in the meantime they will not injure their valuable vocal chords by yelling to the cows or singing to the chickens on the farm. ( rcfjestra There is a phase of our school life of which we have not heard much lately, that is, unless we happen to go into the Assembly Hall Monday night. Yet our school orchestra is very much alive and we should certainly miss it if we did not have one. The orchestra played at the commencement exercises in January and probably will do the same in June, although that has not yet been settled. Their playing at the operetta, “The Feast of the Little Lanterns,” was fine and very enjoyable. Apart from these events the orchestra has not given any concerts, although they have been practicing steadily every Monday night. We must not forget, moreover, the many enjoyable Friday afternoons we spent in dancing, with our school orchestra furnishing the music. We were certainly fortunate to have such tine playing available for our dancing. Splendid as our orchestra is, however, many of its members lament the fact that so few of the school seem to take an interest in it. They are earnestly desirous of increasing the size of the orchestra. Flutes, cornets and clarinets are especially needed. Any of you who play some kind of a musical instrument and have not yet tried out for the orchestra will be cordially welcomed if you wish to join. If you think that it is too late to become a member this term, don’t forget to try early in the tall term. Following are the members of the orchestra: Two Piancs Dorothy Miller, Audrey Costello; first violin, Neal Clement, Theodore Clement, Benjamin Chamberlin; second violin, Earl Steeves, Dorothy me, Dorothy Kennedy, Earl Ashton, Arthur Barley; drummer, Edmund Miller ; viola, Harold Palmer. G3 Bramattcsi Junior Departing from the customs of former years, the classes of 1918 pre- sented four one-act plays on the evening of May 18, 1917. The plays were written by members of the Senior class of that year and were very inter- esting and exciting sketches. “Safe, the first of the four plays, was written by Marjory Storey. “For the Stars and Stripes’’ was the masterpiece of Muriel Hamilton, the comedy of the evening was furnished by “Domestic Economy,” the work of Mildred Dean, and the bill was concluded with a war play by Elmer Way, “The Streak of Yellow.” The staging and producing of the four plays was a stupendous task but under the instruction of Mrs. Ellis the large cast of characters was finally whipped into shape. The scenery, designed by Miss See, was unique and gave a suitable atmosphere to the various productions. Mildred Hall, as leading lady in “For the Stars and Stripes,” was the star of the evening. The parts of Mr. and Mrs. Knowal in “Domestic Economy” were well executed by Howard Jones and Sylvia Leary. Clever work was also exhibited by Jimmie Howell as the burglar in “Safe.” Dramatis Personae SAFE Robert Burr, a midnight guest . Mrs. Winslow ................ John Pindar, her brother.......

The variety offered by the several acts produced intense excitement and surprise and there was not a moment lost in the revealing of the secrets. The act of Douglas Donald and Roy Miller entitled “Chalk Talk” was quite unusual and mystifying and the exhibition of ball room dances given by Thelma Daus and Franklyn Burke brought several rounds of applause. The minstrel show was the main feature of the bill and between Mike Crino, as interlocutor, and Fred Haines, Floyd Reynolds. Robert Griffith and Franklyn Burke, as end men, a rapid fire of entirely new and original jokes was exchanged, convulsing the audience with laughter. These were sup- plemented by solos and selections from the chorus of burnt cork comedians. The military dance given by six Senior girls was exceedingly clever and deserving of honorable mention. The program was concluded with a series of pictures of our boys who have entered into military service. Dancing in the corridors followed the performances. With the proceeds obtained from the two productions and some aid from the Students’ Association the Senior class was able to purchase a motor truck which was presented to and gratefully received by Base Hospital Unit No. 19 early in the month of February. The truck was escorted by a body of the Senior students from the school and, accompanied with martial music, the parade passed up through Main Street to the Armory where the Hospital Unit was assembled to receive it. Thus the class of 1918 not only presented enjoyable entertainment to a great number of people, but also performed a patriotic service to its country. tu tlje 3Utin 23e $artment Giveit tu em gudant plenti, Socet tu em gud an strong.

The eyes of all our people are focused for the greater part upon one thing, namely the task of winning the war. While we are engaged in this under- taking many luxuries and desires must he thrust aside and given up. But in centralizing our efforts upon the winning of this world-wide affair we must not forget other things. In normal times athletics have been called a necessity, now they are more than that. The value of sport is shown by the attention which is given it by the soldier during his off-duty hours. He turns to it with a feeling of relief after the more serious work has been accomplished. After he thoroughly enjoys himself by an hour or two of some sport activity he gladly returns to his grim occupation with a feeling that he is doing his bit and doing it gladly. In peace times the soldier has participated somewhat in athletics but not as he is now doing. The schools and colleges have for the most part discontinued rather than increased their sporting activities. Surely there is no reason for this. It will not hinder the great work of winning the war; it will aid it by doing the same for the civilian as it is doing for the armed man. Previous to the war it was the minority that engaged in athletics. Now by reason of the loss of many of the aforesaid, many who never participated in sport are now getting real benefit from it. The benefit is not only physical but mental, for one who has participated in athletic competition cannot but receive a greater amount of self assurance and confidence, things which many of us lack to a more or less degree. West High, we are glad to say, has not discontinued its athletics one bit. Herein our directors proved themselves wise indeed. The part that our school is doing for the great world war is small, tis true, but does it not strike you that much of our work has been aided by the athletics that we undertake? They have been the electromotive force of many a drive in our war undertakings. While a good many of our students have derived good from their part in athletics the past year there are still many more who have not come in for their share of this work. They have not even tried. There must be latent ability of an athletic nature in some of the three or four hundred who have not gone in the realm of sport. After once participating in sport for some time those same lads would not hold back but would dig in with assurance and confidence that they were as good as the next one. That would be their compensation for participation in the sports. The case of Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the famous ballplaver, is an excel- lent example of what a man can really do if he only tries. Cobb is generally recognized to be the greatest ballplayer in the big leagues. Why? He has no more natural ability than the rest of the field. He has been the leading batsman of the American League for ten years out of the eleven that he has worn the Detroit uniform. Yet he does not hit like Joe Jackson or Tris Speaker, who smash the ball with the force of a bullet. He combines his hitting ability with his running by beating out infield taps for hits, which count for the same in the scorebook. Cobb is a great ballplayer because he wants to be one. Physically fit, there is not one lad in West High who could not make a strong bid for one of the athletic teams that represents the glorious institution. He may pick from baseball, hockey, swimming, golf, tennis, basketball or soccer 70 jfootball Baps Manager—Mike Crino Captain—Earl Reed Soccer, the substitute for Rugby, is gradually winning favor in the mind of the American public as a real sport. While Rugby appears to be the main thing in college athletics it has proved too strenuous for youngsters in high school ranks. In this game, which has been connected with West High activities for eight years, the Occidentals have always made a favorable showing and this year was no exception, though the chief desire of everyone in school, namely, the defeat of East High for the city championship, was not accom- plished. With Chet Kirchmaier to lead the lads on the field next fall it is likely that a different result may be obtained when the Orange and Black meet the Purple and White. The members of the team are: Howard, Whipple, Knight, Clarke, Vance, Adams, Moore, Kirchmaier, Crino, Burke and Gillette. West Aquatics Manager—Joseph Knobles Captain—Francis Reynolds March is the month when most sports are not in full swing. Basket- ball has had its day and outdoor sports, as baseball and tennis, are yet unable to make a real start. It is then that swimming comes in for its share of attention. West High put out a good team considering that it was the initial at- tempt of the institution. Two meets were held, the one with East High resulting in a loss for our boys and the Cathedral meet tallying up a win for the Orange and Black fish. Reynolds showed clearly in these meets that he is the class of the school's swimmers. Alexander, Shepard and Miller were also lads of ability, each bringing home points for West High in the meets. 72 Soccer Team H O CK JE )c £reat Winter port Manager—James Howell Captain—Paul Lyddon Hockey is a sport that deserves the attention of every student in the school. In Canada it is the leading game, crowds of thirty thousand fre- quently attending the games. Here in West High twenty or thirty support the game, including the players. This should not be the case. We can think of no cleaner sport than this winter game. There is just that bit of personal contact in it that puts the real element of excitement into it. As for the speed of the game one has only to see a veteran of the game shoot up the rink carrying the puck for a goal shot. From a standpoint of games won and lost the past season was not a winner for West High, one loss being attributed to the team and one tie game going into the records. The former was received at the hands of East High and the latter was played with Lafayette High of Buffalo. The three veterans of the squad, Howell, Steevens and Lyddon, were responsible in a large measure for the clever game put up by the Genesee Street lads. Captain Lyddon was placed upon the All-State Septette by reason of his fine playing at point. Kirchmaier, a newcomer at the game was a find, his brilliant playing being rewarded by a place on the All-State hockey septette. LePine and Knight were also in the thick of the fight during the course of the season’s play.

One game was lost out of the thirteen played, the reverse coming in the earlier part of the year at the hands of the Brockport Normal five, who were defeated later in the season, requit- ing the Occidentals for their only loss. To little Petey Howard must go the major share of credit for the suc- cess of the quint. Though others performed with shining success at differ- ent times it was the aggressiveness of this same Howard that enabled the Orange and Black to come through with such a fine record. Red Gee was a stellar worker at left guard, chalking up a record of holding his forward scoreless for six consecutive games during the latter part of the season. When Petey was injured it was Red who took the burden of of acting captain and led the team with much success. Both of these lads were honored by being placed upon the All-Scholastics, a team representing the cream of New York State's best basketball players in scholastic ranks. The other members of the squad were all above the average in ability, many a game being won by their valuable assistance. Harvey Morgan, the big center of the live, was elected to lead the 1918-1019 team. Milanetti, McKie, Moshier, Cerquoni, Rohrer, Clarke and Messenger were others who were on the first squad.

From tennis and hockey in the fall through baskketball and gym meets in the winter to spring with its baseball and tennis, as well as hiking and swimming, our girls are very busy with some form of exercise throughout the year. A very successful gym meet was held this spring which was won by the class of June 1919. Irma Seibert won the silver cup with the highest individual score. The girls of the class of June 1918 have been very successful in athletics throughout their high school course. They have held the inter- class championship in basketball for three years. Among the members of the team are Margaret Tracy, Sylvia Leary, Berenice Torpy, Evelyn Rich- mond, Marian Clarkson and Helen Corser. They have also held the cham- pionship of the classes in baseball for two years, while this year’s cham- pions are still to be determined. In tennis, moreover, the championship has been in the hands of June 1918 girls for the past four years, the cham- pions the past year in singles and doubles being Evelyn Richmond and Berenice Torpy. These two girls and Sylvia Leary have also earned monograms, very few of which are possessed by members of the school, not more than four in fact, if that many. We are proud to see that our girls have shown such an interest in athletics and sincerely hope that this interest will continue in the years to come. 0n tlje £olf Htnfcsi During the past five or six years it has been the custom to stage golf tournaments and the statement that golf is a real live game was amply vouched for by the entries during said tournaments. This year saw thirty or forty entering the tournament and results indicate that the team which is to be picked from the best players will be one which will be an honor to West High. Rountree, runner-up in last year’s event, is now in the semi-finals and bids fair to cop the major honors. James Howell is one of the boys who has shown good form, scores of 80 or thereabouts being his usual run for the 18-hole course. Knoblcs, Kennedy, Van Ettan, Lyddon, Steincamp and Meeks are others who displayed good golf. Speaking of Red Cross bandages in Latin class: Helene Clarke—“Oh, Miss Pratt!

West High opened its baseball season with one of the finest teams that has ever represented the Orange and Black. The infield plays the errorless brand of ball and the outfielders are gardeners of the finest type. Earle Whipple, the team’s mainstay in the box is a left-hander who is a hurler of no mean ability. Stadler and Thomas also show signs of being real box men. With Dutch Scherer as leader for the team it is hard to see how any opponent can get the jump on West High, for the doughty backstop is the real live wire with vim enough for ten men. The list of the players follows: Infield, Rohrer, Borncamp, Panepinto and Josephus Knobles; outfield, Patterson, Holden, Meeks, Nellis, Knight, Gillette; pitchers, Whipple, Stadler, Thomas; catchers, Scherer and Gee. One of our Freshmen when asked upon a test to tell where the Eng- lish language came from replied: “P'rom the dictionary.” Miss Pratt (in Latin class)—11‘Erie’ doesn’t come from the Latin ‘ire’ because it doesn’t go.” Ruddy Rountree—“I just landed a new job as caddy for a golf club.

From the form displayed by our boys in that meet we should have a winning team throughout the year. Lyell Wood, one of the best sprinters in scholastic ranks, is tearing up the cinders for West High. Captain Allen is another champ. Harvey Morgan and Angevine are two track lads who are among the most versatile in the city. •The members of the team are: Campbell, Palmer, Morgan, Angevine, Allen, Wood and Englehardt. Small Brother—“Bet he’d kiss you if I weren’t here.” Ruth Wickens—“You bad boy! Rim away this instant.” Captain—“Charge!” Soldier (who used to sell ribbons)—“Just a moment, please. Name and address?” “The man who gives in when he is wrong,” said the orator, “is a wise man, but he who gives in when he is right is—” “Married!” called a timid voice. And who should it be but Allan Thomas. Little Freshman—“Say, pop, what is meant by beastly weather?” Senior—“When its raining cats and dogs.” “Nellis promised to give his ‘wife’ a dime for every one he spent for tobacco.” “How does it work?” Fine. 'Vou see he meets me every day at the drug store and buys flackspecials for both of us and I buy the smokes.” 81 Track Team {Tennis gctibittes Manager—Alfred Sproat Captain—George Kondolf Tennis, along with baseball, is one of the harbingers of spring and de- votees of this sport are many. The school team is composed of George Kondolf, Hames, Smith, Hartson and Holden. In the first two matches on the schedule the boys were left behind, but they gave their opponents a real run for their money all the way and it seems as though this spirit will go a long way toward the making of a successful team. George Kondolf and Hames form a likely pair for double matches and each has shown that he is capable of holding his own in the singles. Holden, Smith and Hartson are racquet men of recognized ability. Other players of more than average ability are in our school. In the tournaments, Smith, Daniels and Kirchmaier are making bids for the premier honors. Florence Manly (when required on a test to explain the German in- fluence on America) wrote “Sauerkraut and wieners ’ Jean Rettie, our illustrious poet and authority on new thought and reincarnation, firmly believes that she was Cleopatra in her last incarna- tion. “What are these?” “War biscuits. What about ’em?” “Sherman said it. That’s all ’ Conductor (to boys on crowded street car)—“You’d better shut that window, you’re in a draught there.” Watson Paddock—“Well, then, well all be subject to the draft.” Lyle—“Anything that you say goes.
