Kenneth Boyer supervised the business end of the Occident, and attempted to make the receipts equal to the expenditures, while Kenneth Keefe supervised the editorial part of the Occident. The contributions were entirely from the Senior class. It is due in a large part to the efforts of the Occident Board, and par- ticularly to these two members of it, that the Senior Occident can be com- pared with the issues of former years. 8 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT of GDfftrm nf thr (flans nf Jjauuary. 1919.

THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 23 (CUtas tiitstnnj. jfntutar.n '19 The world has made history faster in the last four years than perhaps ever before. Not to be outdone, the class of January ’19, has set a pace that future classes will do well to approach, much less surpass. Indeed, more than one weary teacher has been heard to remark after a vain attempt to subdue some of our more ebullient members, A jack rabbit would have to grow wings to keep up with that class. It is four long years since a band of youth, intent upon the pursuit of knowledge, was lured within the portals of West High. The class of Jan- uary '19, was then born. And how short those four long years have been! From verdant Fresh to omniscient Seniors has seemed to take but a short time, though in the process our boys have discarded short trousers for McFarlin’s latest,” and squeaky voices for bassos, while the scanty pigtails of the girls have become the luxuriant tresses you now behold. Indeed, some of the boys have become men, and like Walter Taylor, first president of the class, are now in France wearing olive drab. Proud, indeed, we are of them, and though they will not graduate with us they will not be absent from our memories on that eventful evening. Those of us who remained at home, though not from choice, have endeavored to worthily represent the class in its various activities. Several interclass championships have fallen to our lot and we have been well represented on several school teams. Scholastically, too, we have won honors, and boast of such sharks” as Ethlynne Gillette, Le Roy Miller and Harold Strathman, whose statements the encyclopedias fear to dispute. Socially the class has a reputation second to none. The Freshman Reception, Sophomore Party, Junior Prom and Senior Dance will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to have been present. 1 he Junior Play, A Twig of Thorn, given in collaboration with the June Class, was marked by the clever work of Le Rov Miller, Carol Livingstone, George Brayer and others of the class, while the Senior Play so recently given was a sensation to those who expected an ordinary high school play. The Senior class and West High will part company, each acknowl- edving that it owes much to the other. The class of January, 1919, will always cherish thoughts of dear West High. Fkanki.yn Adams. F.

As we are now about to complete our high school days, we look back upon the years spent here in West High, and see ourselves in our freshman year, green and frightened, as all “froeh” ought to be. We then recall our sophomore days, and laugh as we remember how sophisticated we thought we were. As juniors we became prominent in school activities, and longed for the time when we would occupy front seats in the middle section in assembly. Now that we occupy this position, we are reluctant to leave our dear Alma Mater and its pleasant associations, to again become freshman in college or in the school of life. We regret to leave these happy days behind us and to take up new and more difficult tasks. During odr four years spent here, we have gained from our worthy teachers much knowledge, which will help us to climb the ladder of fame, for we are a famous class. Although at times we have failed to accom- plish the tasks set before us by them, we realize that if we had obeyed their instructions we would be more able to use the great ability which one of our teachers claims lies hidden among us. As seniors we wish to heartily thank our teachers for helping to make us sedate, wise and dignified. We have appreciated, although it may not have been apparent, their attempt to lead us down the flowery path of knowledge, which we are now confident we can follow. We are sorry to leave our classmates, who have shared our displeasures as well as our joys. We value their companionship as we will no others. Although we are about to part, the memory of each one will remain with us. The friends gained in our school life are priceless to us. We have enjoyed their assistance in the classroom, and their society in our social activities. No doubt we have made many friends, whom we will be reluct- ant to leave. Our social life here has been of the highest type, and it is our schoolmates who have made it so. We are glad they have made our school one that we will be proud to graduate from. We sympathize with the inexperienced freshmen, although it is long ago since we first entered high school. The other classmen are antagonistic toward us, but the rivalry only makes school life more interesting. How could we have spent many tedious hours in study hall if we had had no genial souls to consult with concerning our lessons? How dull our classroom work would have been without the well meant humor of few of our clever friends! So we bid them a sad farefell and hope they will soon attain our honored position. The memory of our dear Alma Mater will always remain with us. Many times we will recall the classroom, where we have sat in suspense waiting for the teacher to call on us for the knowledge we have failed to gain; the study hall, where we have attempted to extract wisdom from Vir- THE SENIOR OCCIDENT ?5 gil, Aeneid, etcetera, the assembly liall with its grand rush for front sats, and the many times repeated words “Assembly is dismissed”; the corridors, where we have spent many enjoyable Friday afternoons dancing; and last, but not least, the clock in the office, under which countless times we have been asked to sit for punishment. Our training gained in West High will prove invaluable to us in the work we are about to take up. Nowhere else could we have received such instruction, gained such friends and such knowledge. So in parting we ask •our fellow students to keep up the glory of West High by retaining the fine school spirit they now possess. We wish you the greatest success, dear Alma Mater, and will endeavor to do our part to make your name famous. Farewell. West HighJ —Etiilynne Gillette. (Class $urm.

THE SENIOR OCCTlXZffr IS (Cluse Imiuary 'IS A tall, dark complexioned gentleman was the first to alight from the? 20th Century Limited as it drew in at the LaSalle Street station, Chicago on the 5th of September, 1930. Crossing the platform, he purchased an extra from a newsboy and turned to scan the passengers descending from the train. LeKoy Miller, of the IJ. S. secret service, had been assigned to the protection of the American ambassador to the Confederate Republic of Germany, the Honorable Frank Carleton Leach, during his visit to the World exposition at Chicago, against the threats of the American Bol- sheviki headed by Miss Nellie Pulver. Almost at the same moment that he recognized the ambassador and his secretary, Mr. Schleuter, one of his men approached for instructions. Detailing him to follow the ambassador, he turned to his paper. In a rapid efficient manner he reviewed the news of the day. including the discovery of the South Pole by the noted explorer, Lewis Thayer Gifford ;—the marriage of Miss Florence Archer to Prince Havasli of Korea,—the founding of a religious colony by Leo Knight, based on a belief in death without future— a sensational breach of promise suit brought by the beautiful Rochester society belle, Miss Mabel Tarrant, against Charles G. Schaefer, the wealthy steel magnate,—and the announcement of the Paramount presentation of Elizabeth Dow, supported by Robert HefTron, in Franklyn Adams’ latest production, “The Frivolous Woman. As he folded his paper, a tall, melancholy gentleman accosted him by name. Immediate recognition followed. T’was indeed the Right Rev. Harold Strathman, who had deserted his flock for a short visit to the expo- sition. 4 16 «« ft was a gay party that thronged about the booth where Genevieve Mahoney and Carol Livingstone were serving ’em hot. There were Misses Helen Kies and Mildred Hall, society ladies. Mrs. Farlow, formerly Clara Osborne, and her husband the local district attorney, Dr. Henry Dean Shedd, Jr., the socialist party’s big boss, Mr. George Brayer and his wife, lately Miss Orinda Phelps, and bachelor Wilkes, busily engaged for the past three years in distributing the income derived from his inherited fortune of five million dollars. A steady, throbbing sound overhead startled Mr. Brayer from one of his habitual reveries, and peering upward, he dis- covered the source to be a Deming superhydroplane produced in the mam- THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 27 moth plants of the Oliver Reynolds Co. The machine was being put thru a series of maneuvers by the clever aviatrix, Mildred Garrison. Near the entrance to Agricultural Hall, Miss Inez Hubbard was in charge of the display of Burdick Scentless onions, champion seedless squashes and the quart—a stalk—cobless corn, all perfected at the farms of Wm. Arthur Burdick. The seductive charms of Rosamonde Fahy were effective in gathering a large crowd about the snake charmer's kit. where Dorothy Schlegel lured at will, adders, rattlers, cobras and e’en the dread Boa-Constrictor. Senator Wm. Clark in open-eyed wonder gazed upon this spectacle, attracting the recognizing glances of Loraine Osborn, matron of the Chi- cago Orphan Asylum, Katherine Beard, private secretary to Bessie Milder, manager of the millinery department of Turner Lindenberg, and Emily Bennett, governess to a wealthy family on Lake Shore Drive. At Popp's Inn, all was well. The patrons of this establishment were •enjoying the mild beverages, therein dispensed, without exception. It was a most Democratic crowd. Miss Helen Belknap, candidate for Mayor of Rochester, N. Y., Miss Madeleine Housman, head of the department of foreign languages of the University of Chicago, Misses Esther Hall and Olive Wallace, teachers of Ancient History and Biology respectively, and Nevclle Jones, architect, whose latest achievement was the construc- tion of a cat palace for Miss Catherine Robbins, fancier. In the evening at the theater, from their boxes, Ethlvnne Gillette, short story writer, Earl Grover, illustrator, Bessie Armstrong, in charge of the Newbury library and Mildred Cornwall, director of the Chicago •College of dramatic art, witnessed the inimitable dancing and singing ol the Misses Dorothy Ren wick and Edith Milliman. In conclusion, it is gratifying to be able to announce the complete recovery of Congresswoman Mary Elizabeth Daggs, at Sulphur Springs, from a most persistent ailment of flat feet incurred while running for office. The cure was accomplished in spite of the frequent and costly treatments of Doctor Murphy. Cakdl R. Livingstone. .. Tune—PERFECT DAY When you come to the end of your high-school days: And you think “Will I graduate”; And your name goes down on the doubtful list, And you shake in your boots with fear; Do you wonder, what Mother and Dud will say, When they find that you may not pass? But your heart swells up on the final day, When you know you are safe at last. Genevieve Mahoney. T ff E SENTO R OCCIDENT 2X ik k w y� k vk ik Honor Holt.

Item I. To Mr. Jonner we wish to leave a carton of Camels, which are to be passed to Seniors only, when they come in late. This is the most approved method of sending anyone “to blazes.’ Item II. To Carol Jones we bequeath a book entitled “How to Become' Beautifully Slender,” written by Ruth Wickens. Item III. To Mr. Sias we bequeath Frank Leach’s grin, which will gives him a cheerful aspect when requesting anyone’s absence from school. Item IV. To Miss Manchester we leave a hox. of pink powder to brighten her up on “blue Mondays. ' Item V. To the Juniors w« leave our brilliant record in all activities and hope they will profit by it. Item VI. To the Sophs we leave the benches in the corridors but wish to warn them they are “hard” to sit on. Item VII. To the Frosh we bequeath the “Winged Victory” (if they know what it is) in hopes it will spur them on to get a-head. Item VIII. To the. whole school we leave the glorious Service Flag of 420 stars, many of which represent boys from the Class of January, 1919. Given under our hand and seal on this sixteenth day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen. THE CLASS OF JANUARY, ’19. THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 2!

Advertising Manager The Class of January, 1919, remembers the kindly interests taken in it by its former advisors, Miss Ruth Crippen and Mr. James Rourke. who took up war work. Miss Crippen is now in France. We welcome back Mr. Rourke, who did his bit in America. This SENIOR Occident, the final literary attempt of the Class of Janu- ary, 1919, comes to your hands at a great moment in the world’s history. The World War under which shadow the West High Senior Books of the last four and a half years have been written, is now at an end. We are pleased to bring forth this resume of our four years at West High at a time when peace has once again come to the earth, and we take pleasure in heralding the dawn of brotherhood with the January, 1919, Senior Occident. 39 THE SENIOR OCCfD ENT THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 31 iramattrs. Srmor $lai|. On January 10, the Seniors presented their play “The Man Who W ent,” a modern play, the action of which took place in the early summer of 1914. There were 8 principal parts. Frank Leach with a slight accent and.a stiff bow portrayed the role of the “Baron Von Arnheim,” a German spy. Kenneth Boyer played the part of “Jack Thornton,” a young sus- ceptible king’s messenger. “Evelyn Thornton,” Jack’s sister, was played by Mildred Cornwall who certainly has dramatic ability. The role of “Sir George Caxton” was played by LeRoy Miller, who was as explosive and irritable as could be desired, while his spouse.” “Lady Venetia Caxton,” played by Madeline Housman in a haughty and sweet‘T told you so” way, drew many laughs. George Brayer, who co-stared with Mildred Cornwall, played the part of Dick Kent,” a secret service man. Ruth Wickens, as the Countess Wanda Von Holtzburg. a clever German spy, almost had us vamped. Walter Bennett, as “Hogue,” also a German spy, played his part very well. Junior The Twig of Thom,” an Irish fairy play in two acts, was presented by the classes of 1919 on May 8, 1918. It was a costume play and was received with enthusiasm by the audience. The parts of Messa Teig” and Maurya.” two old ladies, who with their hobbles and canes, provoked a great deal of laughter, were taken by Carol Livingstone and Madeleine Housman. Winifred Cowles, as Oonah, made a delightful leading lady for LeRoy Miller, who played the part of Aengus,” the hero. Kenneth Boyer played the part of Faileel,” a wan- dering bard; George Brayer, Father Brian,” the village priest. Frances Smith made a charming Fairy child,” while Katherine Howk, Madeline Sullivan, Ethel Pickard, Walter Bennett, Leo Knight played the parts of the peasant neighbors inimitably. ©ffirrrB nf tljr tuhruts’ Assnriatum.

Advertising Manager The Occident staff this year, under the leadership of LeRoy Beers and Kenneth Boyer, and with the help of its adviser, Miss Parker, has overcome great difficulties. When school opened there was some doubt for a time as to whether or not there would be an Occident. The cost of printing was almost prohibitive. It was finally decided, however, to print the paper in smaller type, on a different quality of paper, which brought the cost down somewhat, so the September Occident, a very different magazine from former ones, made its appearance. The staff considers the Christmas OCCIDENT to be its most success- ful number. It was larger than any of the preceding numbers and had better material in it. Of this issue a thousand copies were sold. The staff also had a Christmas tree. This is becoming an annual fea- ture, and it is the hope of this staff that its successors will give, each year, a Christmas tree to the school. The record is one of achiev ement, in the face of great difficulties. 3 Mr. Carpenter—“Well, how stupid you are, to he sure! Can’t mul- tiply eighty-eighty by twenty-five! I’ll wager that Leo can do it in less than no time.” Abused Early—“I shouldn’t be surprised. They say that fools mul- tiply very rapidly these days.” 3 “Boys,” said a good old clergyman, to youngsters in the Bible class, “you should never lose your tempers. You should never swear or get angry or excited. 1 never do. Now, to illustrate, you all see that little fly on my nose. A good many wicked men would get angry at that fly. but'I don’t. 1 never lose my temper. I simply say: ‘Go away, fly—go away____9 Con- found it! It's a wasp! ! !” THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 33 34 THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 31« Explanation. Considering the number in the graduating class of January, 1919, it has made one of the finest showings for a small class ever exhibited before in the history of the school. We have the following names to show in proof of this statement: Chet Kirchmaier, a lad who has engaged in athletics since bis second year. He first showed fame along the soccer line in the season of 1916; he was also with the team in 1917. With that season’s end- ing he was chosen captain for the following year. Second, Lynn Patterson, a lad who exhibited great skill in soccer and baseball and who was a com- ing star in all around athletics. This lad won fame on the diamond and after completing three years and a half at school, volunteered for the S. A. T. C. course at Springfield Y. M. C. A. College. Third is Jerry Le Pine, a lad who showed plenty of pep in the hockey pen during the season of 1918. He is a good loyal sport and fights hard in everything he enters. Fourth comes Leo Knight, whose four years found him active in athletics, taking part with the first teams in baseball, hockey, soccer and track. With this class responding loyally, West High has had a season of banner var- iety, for instance in: £urrrr. Manager .................... Harry North way Captain .................... Chet Kirchmaier Soccer, a sport deserving a great deal of attention, has in the past year, been very successful. Owing to the closing of the schools, the team THE SENIOR OCCIDENT 35 was forced to give up many out-of-town games, but in the games plaved. West High ranks about at the top of the league. Having taken defeat from Charlotte, we met. East High and also accepted a defeat frcm her. But. considering the time of practice and the condition of the men at the begin ning of ths eason. a’ veek and a half was anything but enough time to train a championship squash Then after three weeks of continuous practice and under the excellent advice of some old stars, the team came back with a terrific blow. Meeting East High again on November 9, the team wiped out previous defeats with a smashing victory over East High. It was a fight, nip and tuck from whistle to whistle. But since East High had defeated Charlotte, previous to this game, we had a perfect right lo con- sider ourselves in line for a claim oil the city championship. In the coming year with Fred Clark as pilot, and a considerable num- ber of letter men back, a victorious season of 1919 is probable. The team is E. Metz, Joe Meeks. Ray Campbell. Chet Kirchmaier, A1 Thomas. Al Makin, Jeb Disney, Freddie Clark, C.. Stifter. Leo Knight, Art Milanetti. and Jimmy Cerquone. Saskrl Sail. Manager............................ Ed Jones Captain ...............................HENRY Rohkkr Coach ...........................E. A. HULEK With the 1917 championship to watch, defend and hold, and under the guiding hand of Coach llulek, a genius with unlimited coaching ability. West High's basketball team is coming along in remarkable shape. Hav- ing engaged in a clashing contest with East High’s quint on November 28, the Occidentals met defeat largely because of the poor support of the stu- dent body and the short time for practice before the game. On December 6, the team went to Lima in a much better condition and defeated the Seminary boys, 32 to 9. The following week, backed by the old-time fighting spirit of football days, the team took on the Charlotte quint in a clash which resulted in a West High victory with a score of 41 to 17. In this game, new members of the quint showed a marked improvement and still greater success is expected from these men. In the future, by the looks of the team and its rapid progress, a victory over East High for the city cham- pionship is expected. The team: 11. Rohrer, Freddie Clark, J. Cerquone. A.

Despite this, the team pulled ofT a meet with the Rochester Turn Vcrein and met defeat by a mere margin of four points.

FILL your lirepot FULL of GENUINE GAS COKE and as far as possible operate your furnace as shown in this diagram. FLUE OAMPER CHECK, OPEN NEARLY CLOSED 2 IN. LAVER OF ASHES ON GRATE BAR GRATE BAR FILLTHE FIRE-POT FULL KEEP THIS’ DAMPER PARTLY OPEN ASH PIT a yi KEEP CLEAN -KEEP THIS DAMPER CLOSEO As soon as the fire is going well, fill the firepot FULL and open the drafts for a few minutes. Then shut all drafts and open the check in the sinoke flue. The check draft in the feed door should he left nearly open as soon as the fire is well started. On account of the smaller volume of ashes in Coke it i necessary to shake your furnace only half as often as when coal is used. Stop shaking when you see a glow in the ash-pit. This will leave some ashes on the grates. Always leave grates in flat position and keep ash- pit clean. Don’t Forget—It is the Operator and not the fuel that damages the grates. If you are not successful after following the above instructions notify ns and we will send a demonstrator. Price, $8.70 Per Ton. Rochester Railway and Light Co.

Ever since the dav he landed with a splash in West High he's been swimming strongly, trying to get out. I,eRoy caused a lot of ripples when he took his plunge. He is on the Honor Roll. He has been Gass Presi- dent ever since he has been here, which is some record.

S. Howard Symons. Class History FUUR YEARS ago, we, the class of 1919, entered West High School, simply Freshmen. The first term we were strange to the school and the school was strange to us, but the second term brought organization and we, as well as many others, realized that the infant class was destined to make some noise in the world. Lost in the symbols of Algebra and the molecules of Biology, time slipped by till the evening of our first “function , the freshman Reception, when our Ship of State would be duly launched. It was then fittingly launched and since then has had such a successful and happy voyage as was never charted before. Sophomore vear brought the Sophomore dance, a remarkable success; sophisti- cation and America’s entry into the war. The patriotism and enthusiasm so closely confined for months, burst forth at last. When spring smiled again boys dropped out of classes to hoe the corn and weed the onions in the cause of Liberty. Red Cross groups were organized. June found our class like the school whole-heartedly united for one purpose—to whip the Hun. Thru our Junior Year, while one after another West High added her glorious share to the streams of khaki France-ward bound, while the tide of fortune ebbed and flowed, while tension was at its height. Patriotism demanded and we offered double the demand. School was closed for lack of fuel, Red Cross work engrossed us constantly. Farm service resulted in a new and delightful creation, the farmer- ette. We rejoiced in service, found a new and rich contentment, gave of ourselves and time unrestrainedly and still, because we were a wonderful class, kept up our studies and found time to enjoy our Junior Dance and Play. The cloud turned its silver lining our way during Senior year. When ar last the Armistice was signed wc rejoiced most eloquently and found ourselves with an abundance of energy and time on our hands which we naturally directed to our class activities. Our Senior Dance and Play were the best so far conducted. Then we selected a Cabinet to conduct our class affairs and weighty obligations. We pro- ceeded to get acquainted, holding a Valentine’s party and another party in April; the girls had a Baby Party, the boys went to Colgate. Did we get acquainted ? I’ll say we did. So in our Senior year we proved that sve were a remarkable class in times of Peace, as we were loyal in days of war. In our Hall of Fame there are so many niches, it is hard to name them all; I can only attempt to give a few: in school and class politics, Carol Jones, Frances Smith, Katherine Howk, LeRoy Beers, Ralph Allen; in athletics, Elbert Angevine, Ralph Allen, Harold Palmer, James Cerquone, Arthur Milanetti; in dramatics, Ruth Wickens, Kenneth Boyer; on the Occident, LeRoy Beers, Harold Palmer, Elbert Angevine, Orlando Schultz. Kenneth Keefe, Kenneth Boyer, Ralph Allen, Harry Norrhway, Adelaide Conkel. And so, you see, we really are a remarkable class, we arc all that an ideal class should he. We are intelligent to the point of brilliancy; behold our Honor Roll, almost a third of the girls, over a third of the hoys. We are talented. We have honey-lipped orators, gifted financiers, colorful artists, organization experts, dream- ing, visionary poets. And most of all, we are human, lovable, teeming with life, energy and ambition, the will to succeed, patriotism, blessed with good-looks, amiability, good fortune, modesty and a priceless sense of humor. Behind us lie four happy years, before us many paths that lead to places. We are proud of our Alma Mater and shall always cherish her traditions and ideals It is our aim, as the years go by, to give her reason to be proud of us in turn wherl ever we may go whatever we may do. She has given of the best of hcrself’for us. Alma Mater! We bid thee farewell! hi Hrknda G. Glass. Class Prophecy HERE I am in an awful fix! The Class of June 1919 of West High School has engaged me—Hack, the Crystal Gazer—to give their Class Prophecy. Y know, this crystal gazing is a fake—I just hung my carpets on the walls, and got some punk for incense, and stole a crystal from a millionaire’s garden, and here I am! For weeks I cultivated a vacant stare and a voice from the great beyond, and I fooled em all but when it comes to fooling a whole class of brilliant high school graduates good night! Here goes tho, and may good fortune accompany. What see I herer A vast city filled with people hurrying to and fro. Some are strange, others familiar. Here comes Leo Gaffney, ,rStew” Nivling, John Camblin, and Clarence Davis, strolling down the street, arm in arm. Ha! They have entered the “Mighty Jitney,” the largest refreshment place in the city, owned by Myron E. Wilk and Wray Rawlings. Sec them don their white aprons? They are pitots—they help the schooners over the bar. This profession requires a college diploma and the degree D. A. R. which stands for Doctor of All Refresh- ments, and believe me, they “doctor” them alright. 1 he Pilots’ College which grants the degree D. A. R. is conducted by Professor LeRoy Beers and is endowed by John A. Collins, the man who made his money by inventing the chewing gum which never loses its flavor. Professor Beers has made a wise selection in his faculty. As pilots must be strong and lusty to handle the schooners, particular emphasis is placed upon gymnastic work. For this purpose, the school boasts of such celebrated gymnasts as Joe Meeks, Art Milanetti, Willard Shumway, Louis Stone, and James Cerquone, as instructors. As the school is soon to be “co-ed,” Professor Beers has engaged Florence and Loretta Roberson, Ethel Seymour, and Elizabeth St. Helens as in- structors for girls. A pilot must be able to sing, for who has not heard and admired the wonderful singing which gushes forth from the door of any place of refresh- ment? To the end that all pilots shall be properly instructed in the art of “war- bling,” William Lester has been engaged, and is turning out some wonderful canaries. Clifford Burleigh is his accompanist, when he sings at Chapel. Here’s the surprise! When the girls begin to study in the College, Elizabeth Barr will be their advisor—she has a motherly heart, and will probably be well qualified. Brenda Glass has been recently engaged to write poetry, and recite “The Face on the Barroom Floor” in chapel on Friday mornings. The old Prohibition Party has been dis-banded As only soft drinks and ice- cream can be sold, a new Prohibition Party has been formed under the leader-ship of Ray Toolan to do away with this evil of drinking anything at all but water. This is a good thing, for there is artificial coloring in some of the soft drinks. My mind wanders—I must concentrate. Here in front of the “Mighty Jitney is Don Snapp, who is taking “Snapp-shots” of the men who enter and leave the place. Don is a member of the new Prohibition Party, and is getting evidence for 41 the coming Presidential election. He intends to publish his Snapp-shots under the title of “ Before and After.” The remarks which will accompany the pictures will be written by Maurice E. Shepard, the author of the well-known book entitled “My Ten Years in the Water” or “How Much Root Beer Kills a Sunfish.” Mr. Shepard has always loved the water, and this should make his remarks a great success, and help Prohibition wonderfully. The Prohibition Party has in it such well-known women as Christina J. Barker, Margaret Benedict, Helen Milligan, Dorothy Donald, Ethel Holmes, Mildred Lighthouse, Ruby Judd, Katherine Matthews, and Rhea Spencer, who all contribute money to support Don Snapp while he watches the “Mighty Jitney.” Don steals a free lunch most of the time and saves the money for his old age Ah! The scene fades—where are we? It is the new Gloomy 1 heater, which boasts the best plays in the United States. This week they have an all West High cast, playing in the Broadway success “The Vale of Tears” or “When My Hand- kerchief Gets Wet I Want a Mop.” This humorous skit was written by Gladys Von Deben and Kenneth Boyer. It is said that they got their idea for this success from seeing Marion Weis in tears, because Burrell Robertshaw wouldn’t marry her on Valentine’s Day. In the cast are Ruth Wickens, Victor Moycs, Arthur Kulp, Floyd Reynolds, Marcella Weider, Helen Davie, Katherine Howk, and Dorothy Stumpf. They take the leading parts. Ruth cries, while “Vic” and “Art” run for a mop. Floyd Reynolds wipes her tears away with the mop, and then Floyd’s wives (he’s a Mor- mon) get mad at him. Marcella, Helen, Katherine, and Dorothy as Floyd’s wives arc a great hit. As a special attraction the theater has girls for ushers, including Elsa Bryan, Anna Lockwood, Dorothy Hedley, Alice Pulver, Beulah Rowe, Ethel Pickard, Helen Meyer, Elsie Hammerer, Emily Sutorius and Mabel Tarrant. These girls, are creating a sensation, and draw a large crowd. But who are these men, stealthily sneaking around the building? They look like Bolshevists. Ha! they are! They are Neal Clement, Howard Brown, and Roy VanNess, the famous chemists. They invented a new explosive which they are using to blow any kind of a place of amusement off the earth with. See, they are planting bombs! Goodbye theater! Oh! they are caught! Chief of Police North- way, with his prize crew has arrived. See! There are Ted Barstow, Harold Ken- nedy, Francis Remington and Harlowe Wheeler with him. They are all famous for their bravery. Horrors! Harry, the brave Chief, has shot himself in the foot, trying to scare the prisoners! Here come the doctors. “Fletch” McAmmond is just a little ahead of Howard Symons. Howard is forging ahead. He wins ! Harry Northway is his patient. Howard is a surgeon, so Harry will probably lose his leg. He has lost his head already. Clang! clang! here comes the ambulance. I wonder who Harry’s nurse will be Oh! gee! It’s Carol Jones. Lucky Harry! You’ve got some nurse. And of all things! Walter Bennett is driving the ambulance—he says its so romantic, tearing around the corner on two wheels, especially on a bicycle. 42 But hark! I hear a circus parade! Here it comes, in its gaudy colors, with its animals, clowns, Indians, cowboys and steam calliope. See! Orlando Shults, who draws all their fake posters, is driving the wagon which contains the monkeys. Harold V. Amish, the Mayor of Lincoln Park, has a seat of honor on the first ele- phant. Look out! I knew it! A trolley wire knocked him off his perch, and he has landed on his silk hat. He’ll sue them for that. Look at this ape! It’s Harold Palmer, the leading clowm of the circus, who is doing his best to act like a lunatic, and earns his pay. In the winter Harold writes books. Some of his well-known works are, Lessons on Getting Married, How to Go I hru High School Without Studying, and The Art of Mustache—raising. There are rumors that he is going to get married, but who would want him? His wife would never know whether he would appear in his clothes or his track suit. Here comes Frances Smith and Madelyn Sullivan, the bare-back performers and dancers. They conduct a dancing school for girls in the winter, and give lectures on How to Keep Him from Stepping on Your Feet. Who is this with the special bank and a wagon all to himself? Why! It is Elbert Angevine and his troops of trained cooties! Elbert has taught them to hurdle, high jump, pole vault, and play leap-frog,� and is making piles of money with them. Elbert always was some trainer. Tonight the circus members who arc former West High students will be the guests of Anabcl Taylor at the Hotel Rochester. Anabel lived there so long that they finally gave her the Hotel. As head waiter she has Mac Patterson, who is ably assisted by Della Caffery, Loretta Powers, Ruth Culver, Orinda Phelps, Dorothy Shaw , Laura Sheldon, Wilma Gregory, Ruth Loyscn, Helen Dillabaugh, Rhea Coxe, and Evelyn Tarrant. Saturday night dancing parties are conducted at the Hotel by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Allen. Mrs. Allen—formerly Ruth Arnold—is the center of attraction, and draws a large crowd. One night they tried to reach Kenneth Keefe to dance, but it didn’t work. Ken is President of a Publishing Company. His stenographers are Pauline Taylor, Grace Strong, Frances Cameron, Maverette Scott, Beatrice Lawrence, Ethel White, Dorothy Wile, Dorothea Young, Louise Olmstead, Barbara Tram, Dorothy Spencer, Clara Ward, Adelaide Conkel, Vickery Wilkinson, Mary Bo- hackett, and Beatrice Wagoner. Kenneth Keefe has written a book, Why Marry? He’s right—there’s no use. Louise Olmsted is the author of a ten-volume work entitled, How to Make Eyes. Beatrice Lawrence and Maverette Scott are completing a series of essays entitled, The Merits of the Various Face Powders and What Would Happen If the Earth Stopped. My eyes are getting bad, so I’ll have to stop gazing for a few moments. It’s hard work concentrating like that. 43 % Harold H. Palmer.

In the elections held for the Senior year the following were chosen: Henry Rohrf.r........................................................President Marion Vebster....................................................Vice-President Francis Reynolds........................................................Secretary George Wahl • Treasurer Those elected to the executive council were Doris Rankin, James Gray and Ernest Van Billiard. I he class sleighride was given first place among the class activities for the fall term. It goes without saying that the Junior Dance given by the combined classes of 1920, which was the biggest event the class had yet pulled off, was a success, which was as it should have been, thanks to Ernest Ward and his able lieutenants. Hie Junior play, “The Horist Shop” was one of the hits of the season. In the cast were, Evelyn Hess, Hazel Kolb, Paul Cooley, Norman Bauer and Harold Fagan. Those who brought home the banner in Athletics were: the class soccer team which won the school championship; James Gray as manager of Track with Camp- bell and Skinner. Reynolds and Wahl in swimming, Ernest Ward as manager with Stadler Brein and Hetzler in baseball. Last but not least our President “Hank” Rohrer captain of Basketball and Baseball and mainstay of both. To our former president, Francis Remington, and his equally fortunate class- mates, and Victor Moyes, who are graduating with the present class we wish success and luck. With this as a foundation the class of 1920 with but one more lap in its pursuit of knowledge, wish success to those about it, and that its last year may be as suc- cessful as the preceding three. Francis W. Reynolds, Secretary. CLASS OF JUNE '20 Three years have passed since this class entered for the first time the doors of West High School. To say that those three years have been very successful is putting it mildly. Our Freshman reception, held during our first year of high school life, was a great success and enjoyed by all. Our Sophomore year was a notable year for this class. During that year our class with the class of January 1920, held a Sophomore Party which cannot be equalled. Later in the year the June class planned to have a sleighride, but as there was a scarcity of snow, this was abandoned and another party was held which was a success in all respects. , During the past year, the Junior Dance and Junior Play in which this class took an active part were held and those who attended them will testify that there could be none better. . , . , We are also well represented in all lines of sports. � e have several members who have been the backbone of the K. K. and as for our oratorical ability, we have no fear, for such speakers as Elmer Hoare and Watson Paddock belong to tins class of June 1920. o3 The Classes or 1921 The officers for the year of 1918-1919 are: President, George Johnson; Vice- President, Lucille Savage; Secretary, Hervcy Bennett; Treasurer, Wilma Briggs; members of the Executive Council, Crawford Barry, Hazel Kolb,' and William With this record behind it the class ot June 1920 enters into its Senior year wishing success to all other members of the school and hoping to make another successful year for itself. Hervey E. Bennett, Secretary. CLASS OF JANUARY '21 January twenty-ninth, in the year of our Lord nineteen-seventeen was the his- toric date upon which the light of the whooping but wonderful and wise class of January ’21 dawned upon the horizon of West High. It was a great day for the school, we admit, but since, it has proved equally beneficial to us. We have ob- tained the mystic and mysterious art of juggling teachers from “C” to “b” and other things of the greatest benefit and we can chew toothpicks as well as any in the lunchroom. We pulled off one of the best Sophomore Parties ever held in the school. The party consisted of vaudeville, dancing and “eats” and was enjoyed by all. The class has also been prominent in athletics having Makin, Dugan and Metz in baseball; Underwood, Clement, MecFesscl, Mullan and Guckcr in track; Makin in basketball; and. Metz and Makin in Soccer. The class was runner up in the soccer champions of last season and won the basketball championship on West High Day by defeating the Freshmen 25 to 8. The winning team was Burrows, Congdon, Howard, Gucker, and Henry. The class officers are: President, Albert Makin; Vice-President, Helen Gould; Secretary, C. Henry; Treasurer, Lillian Sadden; Cheerleaders, M. Bryan and R. Logie. C. J. Henry, Secretary. CLASS OF JUNE ’21 The Class of June 1921 has had great success in all of its activities. The Fresh- man Reception held in the fall of 1917 was largely attended and enjoyed by all. The Soph Party was held in January' 1919. This was also largely attended. There were dancing and an entertainment, and refreshments were served. The scholarship of the class is fine. Among those of the class, John Shaw and Carl Metzger are on the Occident Staff and Carl Metzger and George Codd arc on the track team. Raymond Little and many others are out for baseball. The girls’ basketball team has been very successful and deserves much praise. Bernice Doering, Mollic Burritt and Joseph Plumb are the members of the Executive Council. The officers of the girls’ class are, President, Dorothy Clark; Vice-President, Sadie Whitehouse; Treasurer, Florence Conway; Secretary, Selma Curry. The boys’ officers are. President, George Codd; Vice-President, Earl Steeves; Secretary, Harold Stone; Treasurer, Carl Metzger.

But much of the success of the Occident has been due to its excellent staff, and as many members of this staff will be in school next year, the Occident has good chances of another successful year. uO Editorial 1 he Senior Class through the Senior Annual wishes to put before the school the never failing spirit of co-operation and good fellowship which has been evidenced during our short stay at West High. We hope that we have set a good example for those who shall follow in our place, and that we shall continue to be remembered for many years. We need not enumerate the many phases of school life in which this has been ably shown. Our men have been victors on many a hard-fought field and in many a fiercely-contested game. In each case we have shown our never dying spirit and grit. In the course of events we have experienced many pleasures as a class. Under the able leadership of our adviser, Mr. R. E. Holmes, we enjoyed excursions to Cornell and Colgate Universities. In addition, we have had many social events at school. 4 Our aspirations have been the Highest and we have lived up to our aspirations. The Juniors will readily attest to this fact. Many are the traditions which we have kept and which we fear our humbler brethren, the Juniors, will try to imitate but let them beware—of the dog! In closing we wish to say that the Class of June 1919 has never been equalled, and we never expect it to be. • Again wc wish to thank our friends who have been so kind and helpful to us throughout our course and in publishing the Senior Annual, especially our advisers, Mr. Holmes and Miss Gibbs. Wc shall never forget the willing services of Elsa Bryan, Ruth Arnold; Florence Roberson, Ethel Seymour, and Gladys Von Deben who have contributed largely to the success of this Annual. S. H. S. Ml The hoys of June ’19, realizing the inspiration which he has been to them, wish to express their appreciation of his leadership To Robert E. Holmes 62 Stags The boys of June, 19, have, probably had more “stag” affairs, and have been more successful in these affairs, than the boys of any other class. This has been due somewhat to the boys themselves, but mostly to the inspiration and advice of Mr. Holmes, who has been their adviser for the last two years. , In the winter of 1917-18, the class started the idea of bowling parties, which has since been adopted by the fellows of other classes. They went to the Y. M C. A. on alternate Thursdays thruout the winter. There they rolled up high scores, and frequently afterward, being young and undignified, they went to the Manhattan, and had a “ plate of wheats,” or something similar thereto. But spring came, and bowling in the “Y” basement is not exactly a spring pastime. 'I hen the great idea came, and a thing was done which had never been done before. June '19 opened the door of a new era. The idea was this: that the whole class should go to Cornell, to spend a couple of days there as guests of the University, looking around the place. The idea was a new one in West High. Mr. Holmes secured an invitation for all the boys of the class. Well, they went—accompanied by Mr. Holmes and Mr. Smith. They left Roch- ester at seven o’clock Saturday morning in May, some in autos, some on the Lehigh. All reached Ithaca a little after eleven in the morning, and went to the University, where they were met by Professor Andrews, who distributed them among various “frat” houses. After lunch, everyone went to a big track meet, in which Cornell and M. I. T. participated. Then there was a ball game late in the afternoon. The boys also had an opportunity to wander among the college buildings, and see something of its equipment. In tne evening, they saw a great scene, the annual “Frosh Cap-burning.” The Freshman class, a thousand strong, paraded around the campus, and portions of the town, picking up Targe trees and small houses in their course. With these they made a bonfire, in which they burned the Frosh cap, the sign of serfdom. They (the Frosh), then proceeded to celebrate their delivery' from bondage in sundry fashions. Sunday morning most of the boys went to chapel, altho a few walked around the beautiful campus. After chapel, all the party dined together; then the auto parties started on the return trip, some who were going home by train spent the afternoon about the campus; and a few, with Mr. Holmes and Mr. Smith, hiked up into the hills behind Ithaca, and saw some beautiful country. Upon returning from this hike, the party.united, and took the train to Rochester. There was only one train that night, and the hikers, who had been somewhat delayed, were afraid .of missing this. Therefore, Smith bribed the motorman to go faster. Ithaca.is a hilly town, and the car made some speed down those hills, but it could not go too fast for Mr. Holmes, who had the ticket on which the whole party traveled. The Ithaca trip was a valuable experience. The boys saw something of the workings of a great college. They saw life in the fraternity houses. And it made a firm bond of interest among them which has not since been broken. ttttttttttttttt t Fall came—the last year was on. The first term was filled with upheavels, so that little class work cou'ld be done, but in the last term many things came to pass. The parties which the class had were enjoyed by boys and girls alike; the boys also had their bowling, but no Manhattan this year. Not for Seniors! Then came the biggest event of the year, the Colgate trip. This trip was the joint work of Mr. Bennett, who is deeply interested in the class, and Mr. Holmes. 63 64 Both went on the trip, as did “Doc” Holzworth and Mr. Smith. The events of that trip are matters of recent history and need not be retold here, but as an experi- ence, it was more valuable than Cornell. At Colgate the fellows went to classes, saw more of the college, and saw more of the place and people. At Colgate they pot underneath the surface of things into the actual daily life of the college. Colgate is smaller than Cornell, and they were not quite so “lost.” They felt at home. Every college man seemed to know them, and passed them with a cheery “Hello, fellows!” that bespoke the hospitality of the place. Indeed, one boy remarked that more people spoke to him on the Colgate campus than would recognize him on the campus of West High. The faculty members, too, were as friendly as the students. The President of the University came upon three of the boys in a drug-store; he introduced himself, and expressed his pleasure in having the boys come. Colgate was perhaps the greatest educational experience of the high school course. This is a brief bistory of the boys of the class to the time of this writing. But plans are maturing for a visit to the U. of R., and for some bikes and other stunts in the near future. Judging from the past, certainly the boys will enjoy themselves, during what little time remains. The time of graduation is near at hand. The Class of June T9 is graduating with a higher developed sense of unity and friendship than any other graduating class has probably bad. They may even have reunions in the years to come. They may make gifts, individually or as a class to their Alma Mater, for from class spirit has developed the highest type of school spirit. June T9 has made a discovery of priceless value: that from the right sort of class spirit comes school spirit of the highest type. As they graduate, they hope that succeeding classes will strive to build up strong class spirit, for then West High will become first in every way, on every field, and will be filled with that indefinable but very desirable thing called SCHOOL SPIRIT.

Fighting for Old West High, And whatever it be, It’s a sure victory For June 1—9—1—9: Music EVERYONE is musical to some degree, and this is proved by the love which all people show for music. Everyone is born with a love for music, and if this he cultivated early enough, the result will be a musician. Many a dirty- faced street urchin, had he the advantages, would become a fine musician -or perhaps a genius. If this musical ability is not cultivated, it takes shape in some other form of temperamental energy; such as the inspiration to heave rocks through windows, or participate in gang fights. Realizing that such is invariably the rule, Mr. Miller, the Supervisor of Music in the Public Schools of Rochester evolved a plan to provide an outlet for his energy, and to cultivate it properly, so as to produce the best possible results. Of course, we have always had musical instruction, but not enough; it was merely a tiny scratch on the surface of music, hardly noticeable. Under Mr. Miller's plan every- one, who was qualified in any way to study music, was to have an instrument loaned to him by the Board of Education, and was to receive free lessons from teachers provided by the Board. As the young musicians gained in proficiency they were to be placed in the band or orchestra. But the question was, where was the money coming from ? For a while they were “ stalled,” but Mr. George Eastman came to the rescue, and made a gift of $15,000 worth of instruments to the School of Music of the University of Rochester. These instruments, of all kinds and de- scriptions, and the best obtainable, arc loaned to the pupils of the high schools and grammar schools. At the present time all the instruments are being used, and to advantage. The pupils will receive instruction thruout the summer vacation, and by fall we should have full bands and orchestras in both the high schools. Imagine the enjoyment afforded from such organizations! They not only bene- fit all who are in them, but those who will have the privilege of hearing them play. We have already heard our own Orchestra upon several occasions, and it has been a great success. This is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. J. E. Maddy, who has been engaged to direct the instrumental music in the schools. With such a director, the pupils obtain the greatest amount of benefit from their work, for Mr. Maddy understands and plays nearly every instrument in an orchestra or band. The popularity of choral music, too, has increased. Mr. William Breach, who conducts this work,, is exceptionally qualified for it. His classes in the assembly hall arc filled, and our assembly singing has greatly improved under his direction. This plan of musical education, so far, has been highly successful; music has been established firmly in Rochester. In future years Rochester will be a musical city. She will eclipse all other communities in music, and will stand apart, as a pioneer in the musical world. Soon the phrase 14 Rochester—the place where musicians come from,” will be on everyone's lips, and all because of the efforts of one man especially, whom we heartily thank. That man is Mr. Miller, to whom our Senior Annual is dedicated, with due appreciation of his great work, and gratitude for the opportunitities which he has given us, to broaden our minds, and balance more evenly our education. G8 Harold H. Palmer. Foreword r R two years, West High fostered athletic activities handicapped by the war. For two years the teams, it must be admitted, declined a bit but did their “bit” to keep the sports going. The close of the war brings a new era of athletics for the high schools, and the retiring class is glad that it had representa- tives on the West High teams that kept things going through those two dark years and is sorry that its athletes cannot stay to enjoy the big sport boom which is sure to come now that the effects of the war are passing. ' This last year has been an eventful one. The soccer team met a severe setback when the enforced “flu” vacation practically ruined the elaborate schedule that was prepared for West High soccerites. The basketball team was a good one and a paying one and the court game flourished in 1918-19 if ever it did at West High. Track reached its former high plane this year and was big in all ways. Baseball met a big turnout and was successful. With many coming athletes in school, the next school year bears a promise. In looking over the sport-lore, the names of Albert Makin, Henry Rohrer and Chet Kirchmaicr stand out prominently. Makin was a ”W” man in four sports. Rohrer was a captain in two, basketball and baseball and Kirchmaier was a star in two lines, soccer and basketball. In track, the names of Angevine and Allen are bright. The Class of June 1919 has done a “Lion’s Share” for West High athletics. 1 his class alone has had some of the best athletes that were on any of the school teams. June 1919 gave Jimmy Cerquone, Art Milanetti and Joe Meeks to the basketball team; Angevine, Palmer and Allen to the track team; Meeks and Milan- etti to the soccer team; Shepard to the swimming team and Meeks to the baseball team. June 1919 wishes West High sports the best of success in 1919-20. 70 Statistics WEST HIGH CAPTAINS Chester Kirchmaier Elbert Ancevine Henry Kohrer Henry Rohker WEST HIGH MANAGERS Harry Northway James Gray Ernest Ward Reed Marshall .

The first was lost to Charlotte High, the second lost to East High and the third won from East High. The final game was full of surprise as the Westsiders completely outplayed their Purple and White opponents to win 1 to 0. Chet Kirchmaier, Leo Knight and Fred Clarice were the season stars. Much credit is also due to Harry Northway, who managed the elevens.

A. Hulek . Captain Manager . Coach West High had a good basketball team last season but one which showed erratic work. Coach Hulek’s proteges played some wonderful games and some poor ones. The team was a high-scoring outfit, scoring heavily even when it went down to defeat. The Occidentals played their best games against Cathedral High and Brockport Normal. The final game was lost to East High after a real fight all the way. The work of Chet Kirchmaicr and Hank Rohrcr stood out all season, “Chet’s” eagle eye and speed putting new life into the team time and again. “Hank” was a real star too, with ability to score at random. Jimmy Cerquone starred at guard all season. The Team Henry Rohrer Chester Kirchmaier Peter Panepinto James Cerquone Albert Makin Arthur Milanetti Joseph Meeks James Izzo VEXTRA!

Hulek.............................................................Coach Baseball occupies much of the limelight at school this spring, with a banner team and a big squad of hopefuls reporting as soon as the snow was off the ground. Coach Hulek weeded down the men until he had a scrappy little outfit and with a mixed team of veterans and practically inexperienced players. West High opened the season with two smashing wins, one over Cathedral and the other over Charlotte High. Captain Henry Rohrer was in his oldtime form on the mound this season.. This portsider was pitching his fourth straight season with West High and his shoots lost none of their oldtime zip. Joe Meeks caught them and was a dependable back- stop. Chet Stadlcr, another left-hander in the box, was a star as last year, cavorting around first base when not working on the slab. Bricn was at second and Little showed at third. Pete Panepinto, with his sure fielding, throwing and batting eye, was there at short. The outfield consisted of Knight, Stifter and Reynolds or Hcssler. Manager Ernie Ward also made baseball a paying sport and drew some good crowds out to the athletic field. West High played in the Western New York Scholastic League.

DeMars Bezant..........................................Coach West High spikemen made the cinders fly this year in outdoor track. Beginning with an interclass affair and a school championship pentathlon, the candidates got a good start before the first team was picked. E. Angevine and L. Beers tied for first in the championship pentathlon, each with 51 points. The regular team season was a gala one, with the Occidentals entered in several big meets. The mainstay in outdoor track were Captain Angevine, Palmer and Underwood. Campbell and Allen did excellent work.

A. Carpenter and E. DeMars Bezant.........................Coaches Fall track served as a starter for the year and a team was selected to run a dual meet against the Rochester Turn Verein. Our lads lost by four points, 51 to 5a. The stars of this meet were Captain Angevine, who garnered 25 1 3 points and Ernie Underwood, the distance champ. After that meet and a little cross-country work, the track squad turned to indoor work and E. D. Bezant took up the coach- ing. {Continued on J ty4 SO) 70 Weldon Ham es . . Manager Tennis flourished all spring long, through the usual tourneys and inter-school competition. “Shrimp” Harries, a three-year regular, was a real star, which many high school teams are not fortunate enough to have in their ranks. “Pete” Holden was another old standby for West High. [Continued from 70) One big affair was held indoors in the form of a school championship meet at the Armory, which was captured by Angevine with IS points, Metzger and Palmer were the second highest scorers. The indoor team made big arrangements for a dual meet with East High hut two hours before the meet was to start, the Armory disappointed a big crowd from the school by cutting off the use of the ball. The track lads waited until outdoor season.

MEMORIAL services for the West High boys who died in service were held at the school at nine o'clock on Thursday morning. May twenty-ninth. A tablet was unveiled, bearing the names of the twenty-five men, who were William J. Attridge, Edmund B. Barry, Walter J. Bauer, Maurice Benedict, Leon H. Buckler, William A. Curren, Theron T. Dalrymple, Walter T. Doughty, Charles H. Evans, Maurice Fonseca, Oliver C. Sarrant, Gordon S. Hancock, John G. Howard, Fred H. Kcnnard, John Lchncn, Robert J. Lohges. Walter McCarthy. Charles J. Mclnerncy, Henry W. Miller, Henry Moyer, Rudolph W. Hadley, Frank E. Fee kens, Leslie Pullen, Harold C. Smith and Charles S. Woodruff. The opening exercises took place in the assembly. Reverend Webster W. Jennings gave the invo- cation and Superintendent of Schools Herbert S. Wcct delivered the address. He said in part: Abraham Lincoln, in his Gettysburg address, sounded the keynote of all occasions such as this. There is but one question—that of keeping faith with these heroes whose faces we recall so distinctly today by dedicating ourselves to the unfinished task which they have so nobly advanced. We should keep faith in proportion as we live out in civil life these same great qualities of character which made the winning of this war possible—courage, promptness, co-opcration and all the rest, loyally devoted to the ideals for which our country stands. These are the great qualities of military character and they are likewise the great qualities of civil character. If these boys whose memory we honor could speak to us today their one word to us would be to hold fast to these great fundamentals of life. “Have wc broken faith? At the conclusion of his address, the school marched to the campus. Principal William .VI. Bennett dedicated the tablet, speaking as follows: We have gathered around this flagstaff under the beloved standard of our country to honor here the memory of those boys from our West High School who have given the supreme gift of life itself for the flag which floats above us and for the country and for the ideals which it represents. “There could he no more fitting place whereon to inscribe the names of those 25 young men than on this enduring base which supports the Stars and Stripes. For in a very real sense the purpose and aims of rhe State in placing this school building with its faculty, its equipment, and its beautiful surroundings are focused upon rhat flag. It represents an unselfish ideal, that of service; an«J the school as a stare institution exists that it may minister to the development.of unselfish service for the common weal. The faculty and the students of the West High School now dedicate this tablet in loving and reverent memory of these 25 pupils whose names are inscribed Opon it. May it express in some slight degree the love and appreciation of those of us who knew there. May it be a gratifying testimonial to their families, their relatives and their friends. And may it silently teach the successive genera- tions of students and teachers of the West High School and all who pass this way chat only that life is worth while which gives not to receive, which sacrifices but not for itself, and which counts the giving of life itself worrh while if thereby others may live and serve. Thin the rablet was unveiled, and decorated with wreaths from rhe faculty and students raps were sounded by Emory Remington. 107 Taps The Colors Autographs Autographs Autographs
