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.

We, the noble Senior Class of January, 1919, of West High School,. City of Rochester, County of Monroe, being of sound and disposing mind! and memory, do hereby make and publish this our last Will and Testa- ment, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute our interest in the school among our succeeding fellow students. 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.
