Marion Webster, Francis Reynolds, and George Wahl have also fulfilled their duties with a great deal of enthusiasm. Then too, we have a representative organization, composed of worthy Seniors who deserve their share of laurels for the way in which they conducted the activities of our class thru the Senior year.

To Miss Parker, we wish to extend our most hearty thanks for her kind advice and wise counsel. Hitherto it has not been customary for previous January classes to undertake the publication of such an extensive book as this one. However, we pass lightly over this fact inasmuch as this class has done so many precedent breaking things thruout its course in West High. We shall never forget the kind and efficient services of Fannie Miller, Selina Curry, May Kynock, Doris Smith and Freda Haap, who have contributed largely to the success of this unusual book.

LOGIC There are three kinds of people in the world. 1 he “will’s,” the “won’t’s” and the “canYs.” The first accomplishes everything, the second opposes everything, and the third fails in everything. Most of the January. 1920. students are of the first kind. Thirty-one Class Poem Docs your eye catch the vision Of a road that leads you on, From the paths of youth’s first fancies To the greater joys beyond? Do you see that wide white highway. That for generations past, Has led the faltering feet of thousands Unto their goals at last? ’Tis your turn now to make that journey. Oh, nineteen twenty folk! Gird on your armor, test your courage. The greatest powers invoke. That you achieve fresh laurels fair. Success, and honors new. To show’r upon your Alma Mater E’en more than is her due. Follow fleet and true your standards. Your ideals hoist on high. The Black and Orange be your emblem: Your motto, Do or die! A galaxy of tributes bring, For when you've won your way And fortune fair has favored you. Then, 'tis your chance to pay. So bid farewell to high school kindred And loiter not in sorrow. New friends will come, and old ones go To meet again to-morrow. Life will play the master hand And lead us all apart, Still each will hold a loving memory Of West High in his heart. Doris Smith. Class History HOW well we remember with what strangely mixed feelings of humility and pride, we, the class of January, 1920, entered West High. It was an unfamiliar world to us then,—and struggling nobly with Latin declensions and puzzling unknown quantities—we tried to master its newness. Even at this early age, we made apparent our originality and liveliness by holding a Freshman sleighride, which suc- ceeded in arousing a splendid class spirit. Our Reception, too. helped us to get together and become better acquainted. In our second year, we found, at our Soph party and sleighride, that we knew how to have an all-around good time. A little later, we discovered that we could be just as enthusiastic when we were called to service, and this of course is a gicat deal more to our credit. All during this and our Junior year, we knitted and worked on farms, and practiced economy and bought Thrift Stamps and did Red Cross Work. In a word, we did what all other loyal Americans were doing—giving as much as we could to “make the world safe for Democracy.” Despite our many war activities, our Junior Play, “The Flower Shop” was worthy of the highest praise, and our Prom will not soon be forgotten. Then Peace Day came and brought with it a great rejoicing. Wc began our Senior year with the great war cloud lifted and with the determination that this year would be the best of all. Without doubt, we have succeeded beyond our greatest hopes. Our social affairs this year, the Senior Dance, and Play, and the Hallowe’en Party were triumphant events and vve are proud of them. As for the business activities of the Class, we began work early in the year, and to be as efficient as possible, adopted the Cabinet System. Moreover, we are the First January class to publish a Mid-Year Book of our own. Our Senior year has indeed crowned our whole course with glory. The four swiftly passing years we have spent here, have meant a great deal to us. We have made friendships here, that will be permanent and lasting, and wc have learned many, many things besides those lessons we found between the covers of our textbooks. West High has given us beautiful ideals that we will endeavor to keep with us when wc follow the paths that lie ahead of us. The Class of 1920 is proud of its record and will always strive to live up to the high standards of West High. Beatrice Bai.lingf.r. Thirty-three Prophecy I LANDED in New York on a Saturday morning, having just returned from abroad, after spending rwo years of strenuous study under that famous voice professor—Earl Hennessy—renowned all over Europe not only because of his wonderful teaching ability but also because of his marvelous voice. This same illus- trious professor had sent me back home to the U. S. A., telling me that my voice wasn t good enough even to compete with those of the cats that yowl a sublime chorus on the fences at midnight and informing me that he had only refrained from telling me so long before because we had both been members of that illustrious class, graduating from West High in January ’20, ten years ago. So here I was in New York, sadly in need of some sort of a job and lacking even the address of some lodging-place. I decided that the only way I could get one would be to ask a policeman so, espying a blue-coat in the distance, I hurried up to him and was just about to speak when I recognized him to be Burrell Robertshaw. My! but he was changed from the Burrell of High School days. He had sprouted a most ferocious-looking mustache and looked really fearsome! Having heard my request, he at once directed me to Edna Timberg’s. “Great Scott,” I exclaimed, “you don’t really mean to say that this is the same Edna Timberg who graduated from High School with us?” He assured me that such was the case and told me that although the boarding-house w’as a good one I’d find it cheap because she always pave a discount to any of her old West High friends who might be stop- ping with her, and Burrell actually had the nerve to insinuate that that was probably the reason for there being so many West High graduates from our class there now. You may be sure this was awfully good news for me and I hustled away to Edna’s hoarding-house. As I was rushing up the walk leading to the place, I bumped into two ladies who were just coming out and, as we all stopped to apoligize, we stood simply thunderstruck! “Why Bea and Rankie,” I cried, “What on earth arc you doing here?” and I gazed on them, perfectly amazed at their appearance. They were both so severely tailored and wore their hair pulled tight back from their cars (minus their beloved ear-laps of school days) and had tortoise-shell rimmed “specs” perched on their noses. They gasped simultaneously, “Can’t stop a minute—late for our case now—see you later,” and sprinted for the little two-scatcd “Lizzie” standing at the curb. From this 1 inferred that they were lawyers and this suspicion was later confirmed. At this moment, the door of the house was opened by a trim little maid whom 1 recognized to be Elsie Striker. She immediately ushered me into a cheerful living- room and then went oft to get Edna. My future landlady entered in a minute and after a hearty welcome told me that I could have the room Leona Imhof had just vacated the day before, to go home and marry Edmund Bryant, now sole proprietor of the old Ballagh Sattler drug store opposite West High. Thirty-four M trunks having arrived by this time, Edna led me to my room, leaving me with the parting injunction to be sure to come down to dinner at seven o’clock, for there were to be about a dozen of my former West High classmates present. While I was unpacking, Virginia Billings called up, having met Beatrice Ballinger and learned from her that I was at Edna s and invited me to a little theater party she was giving that night in honor of Doris Smith and Richmond Robb, now Mr. and Mrs. Robb, and spending the last week of their honeymoon in New York. The other two guests to be present were Herbert leafier and James Hulme and Virgic informed me that Herbert was now a Math. Prof, in Columbia and that he, with Myron White and Charles Hetzler, had recently evolved a new Geom. theorem which was to be of wonderful use to mathematicians the whole world over but a sad Waterloo for the poor little Sophs trying to get through Geometry in old West High. Jimmie Hulme. Virg said, was the advertising manager for a big automobile concern and had as assist- ants in bis work—Herbert McConville. Kenneth Skinner and William Miller. It was now time for me to go down to dinner and you can just imagine the pleasure I had in recognizing Roland Ernisse, Garnet Ashton, Margaret Borncamp, Winifred Cowles. Arthur Henderson. Wilma Klein, Eugene Mackwood, Helen Long and Ernest Van Billiard, who all crowded round and gave me the heartiest sort of a welcome. During the course of the dinner I managed to find out what each of them did or was. Arthur Henderson was a minister, Eugene Mackwood an inventor, trying to invent something that had to do with wireless telegraphy, and Ernest Van Billiard was a reporter on one of the big “dailies” and although he seemed to have editorial ambitions he hadn’t as yet progressed very far in the realization of them. Billie Klein, Helen Long and Margaret Borncamp were all in the Ziegfield’s Follies and Winnie Cowles was also in the theatrical profession, being leading lady in one of the plays on Broadway. Roland Ernisse was writing a book on the various species of 'cooties discovered during the war and Garnet Ashton was his secretary. I asked Winifred Cowles if she had heard anything of the Steinhausen twins lately and she said that she had heard that Margaret had married George Wahl and that Amclic was running a riding academy for West High pupils only and had employed as her instructors Francis Reynolds and Marion Reed. Dinner being over, we all went into the living room and wnile we were chatting “Virgic” came for me in her car. When I asked her if she were still studying to be a Latin teacher she turned up her nose and informed me with no end of “swank” that she was Madmoiscllc Marquette—owner of an exclusive millinery shop on Fifth Avenue. Needless to say I was rather amused at the jump from Latin to Hats. After wc had met the others and were seated in our box, naturally the first thing we did was to exchange bits of news about the various folks who had been in our class and Jimmie Hulme pulled out a letter from Henry Rohrer, stating that he was going Thirty-five hack ui West High to coach the basket-ball team and that he had heard that Florence Zucrn was going back as a Spanish teacher, that Fannie Miller was already back there as a type-writing teacher and that Dorothy Miller had been there for three years now as a Latin teacher. This news of course delighted us for we were glad to think that our class was so represented on the faculty of our old Alma Mater. Doris Smith (Oh! 1 forgot), 1 mean Mrs. Robb, had just that day received a letter from Gladys Graves, now a teacher of music in the Rochester Conservatory, telling her about Marion Webster who, ever since she had graduated from Vassar, had been rather eminent politically and was now' running for Senator on the Republican ticket from New York State. This hit of news made us all laugh for we simply couldn’t ee Marion Webster discussing the why’s and wherefore’s” of the passage of some hill with her grey-haired colleagues. It was jvist about time for the curtain to go up now and, glancing down at the program in my hand, I made a very startling discovery. Listen to this, folks, I said, Dainty Dolly’s Disaster—dramatized from the book of the same title by Frances Wagoner. Winifred Cowles has the lead, Chester Stadlcr is the villan and Helen Spoor takes the part of Betty—Dolly’s little sister!” I looked up and saw the grins on the faces of my companions and realized that they had known all the time but hadn’t told me so that I’d get a pleasant surprise, and you bet it was pleasant; it was more than that; it was simply great! After the play, Richmond suggested supper somewhere and so we all bundled into Virginia’s car and were whirled away to a glittering up-town restaurant. As wc entered the place, the head-waiter came forward to greet us, and great was the sur- prise of all of us when we recognized Norman Bauer. Norman had now thiec chins, was completely bald like an egg and was just a little round roly-poly of a man. He gave us the best table in the room and sent two waiters to see that we had the best of service and (yes. you’ve guessed it) they were none other than Herman Barney and William Prcishe. While we waited for our order, we glanced around at the various people in the room and discovered Sam Danno sitting “all alone in his glory at a table not far distant. Herhert Lafler now' informed us that Sam had gained the name of the Soft- Drink King. for he had found a way of manufacturing soft drinks so that they tasted hard although they had no alcohol in them—not even ] 2 of 1%. Herbert said that Sam was now making a mint of money and had a big plant just outside of Rochester, employing several hundred people, among whom were some of our former classmates who held responsible positions. Dorothea Woods was stenographn, Louise Wittcnbiirg telephone operator and Cecil Wilson head bookkeeper. Roy Wagner was advertising manager with Irma Siebert as one of his assistants. Casper Christianson and Harold Burhans were superintendent and assistant and Sheldon Rishor was sales- manager and two of the salesmen under him were LeMonte Brock way and William Fisher. Thirty-six It was now almost twelve o’clock and yet we hated to go home wc were having such a glorious time. Wc were, therefore, delighted when Virginia suggested that wc run down to Greenwich Village and visit Lillian Scott (a more or less celebrated Futurist artist) and some of the other members of our class who had become regular Bohemians. To oui objections that it was too late for that. Virg answered that Lillian always gave a midnight spread—Welsh rarebit, etc.—to a crowd every Saturday night. So. our objections removed, we started off for Bohemia. Arriving there, Virginia led the way up a very rickety, dusty stairway into Lillian’s attic studio—very artistic, I assure you, but I was quite sure that the roof would not be dependable shelter against a heavy shower of rain. There were quite a few of our former classmates assembled around the room. Charles Stoncburg, Madeline Thompson, Ernest Ward, Donald Wood, Freda Haap and Genevieve Hamel were all there. Charlie Stoncburg was very much changed, for his hair was extremely long and his face was adorned with a diminutive mustache and beard which he had acquired while studying to be a musician, during his stay in the Latin Quarter.” Madeline Thompson was a writer of vers libre and had bobbed hair! Ernest Ward had become a window-decorator of quite some note, and had gained his reputation by means of decorating our 5 and 10c stores back home in Rochester. Donald Wood was an engineer and had just returned from South America after engineering” something or other down there. Freda Haap was a writer of jazz music for which Genevieve Hartzrl wrote the words. .All this information I gleaned during our two hour stay at Lillian’s, and also was told by Freda that she had heard from Helen Meyer, who was a great child-welfare league worker, and had a great deal of help in this work from Marjorie Page, Beatrice Whelpley and Ethel White. Helen had told her that Elsie Clement had opened up a string of candy stores (like the Fanny Farmer’s used to be) back home in Rochester, and had placed in charge of her various stores—Marion Boddy, Adcle De Aoun, Dorothy Dunbar, Marie Karges and Leona Meyn. Freda had also heard that Gladys Mason was a nurse and that Eunice Prien was a great “YW” worker and went ali over the country making speeches. But what struck me as the oddest piece of news of ail, was the fact that Helen Werner gave exhibitions of swimming and high and fancy diving at Ontario Beach Park every Saturday afternoon! It was very late, or rather very early by this time, and so we started for home, after having spent what each one of us declared was one of the best nights in our lives. And just as I was crawling into bed, dead tired but supremely happy, I thought to myself, “Now what on earth am going to do? Which one of all these classmates of mine is going to give me a job?” I wonder! May Kynock.

Fortv-one Class Histories CLASS OF JUNE '20 44T ID vou say June. 1920?” I “Yep. that's one peach of a class. Why away back in 1916 when they were just little kids they licked all the other classes and got the class cham- pionship in basketball. That’s where Pete Panepinto and Jimmy Izzo first showed up in the world of basketball. “Awful to be a frosh? It certainly was. Why one night we went through the same agony I suppose that has come to everybody. At the Freshman reception we had to take our parents around and introduce them to all of our teachers and then stand there first on one foot and then on the other listening to the nice (?) things the teacher had to say about us. “Yeh, the next year was a little better because we weren’t frosh any longer. But that year was worse than the first because wc had to meet the girls and become acquainted, (ice, that was awful. Remember the night of the Soph party with the boys standing ill at case. Oh, hoy! None of the boys could dance and the girls had to dance together. Then Mr. La Bounty and Miss Tripp started a Virginia Reel for those unfortunates who couldn't dance. Wow! wasn’t it awful when it came your time to take that nice girl by the hand and lead here down between those two rows of laughing but strange new friends? “Junior Year?’’ “Oh, it certainly was great to be an upper classman wasn't it. That was the year our class soccer team come into its own and showed everybody that basketball wasn’t the only place where we shone. It was on that day that Johnson saved the day for the good old class of June '20. Hames, St. Helens and Barry played on that memorable occasion. Wc had one great social year, too. Wc had a dandy Junior dance that every- body called the best ever. “Sure wc had a Junior play. Don't you remember the “Flower Shop?” Judge Cooley, Hazel Kolb and “Cutic” Fagan helped make this a great success. “The next spring the most honorable and illustrious Weldon Hames won the Tennis Championship and Paul Brien, Pete Holden and Duke A1 Thomas who pitched for our baseball nine represented us in this line. “West High Day was made a joyous occasion by “Poor” Van Riper who served the eats. “Declamation contest. Let's see. Sure! Red Hoare of June '20 won that. Paddock and Barry of June '20 spoke very well, too. And the funny part of it is that these same three fellows arc all on the “Occident Staff” along with the Elder Barry of this same illustrious class. Pep die out? I should say not. The very first thing they did in their Senior year was to elect a bunch of peppery officers. They got George Johnson for President, Winifred Wcet for Vice-President, Goodloc Barry for Secretary, and Ruth Vandcr- pool for Treasurer. Some bunch, isn't it? Then they drew up a class constitution which was unanimously accepted by the class. This provided for a class council which would help put still more pep into the class during its last year in the school. On account of all these things we have decided that the good old class of June, 1920, is a dandy class to be in and we are proud to be in it.” Goodlob Barry, Secretary. Forty-two CLASS OF JANUARY '21 January, 1921, that glorious name held in awe by the Freshmen and Sophs, and ,n reverence by the Seniors, has made for itself a record to be proud of. This class stepped forth into the spotlight of West High in its first year by putting out athletic teams that had defeated the East High yearlings by overwhelming scores. It burst into society by giving its own Freshman Reception, and has since been a foremost figure in that branch of school life. The Soph Party, held in the last half of the second year, has been said by all to have been the best ever given in the school. The Class Party in the Junior year was also a wonderful success. 1 he officers of the class are: Albert Makin, President; Helen Gould, Vice- President; Clarence Henry, Secretary; Lillian Sadden, Treasurer. The class harbors the hope of leaving behind it an enviable record, which, with the start already made, seems quite possible. Wc extend our good will and friendship to the rest of the school, and our exceedingly hearty thanks and appreciation to our advisers. Miss Tripp and Mr. Mcrriman. Clarence Henry, Secretary. CLASS OF JUNE '21 Ages ago, when our class first came into existence, it showed no signs of being the exceptional class it is. Now the Class of '21 is awakening, and showing splendid spirit and co-operation. Our Hallowe’en Mask was proof of this. It was a wonderful success, in fact so much so that members of the other classes could not resist the temp- tation of coming. A grand march started the ball rolling. Then came the vaudeville which was given by different members of the class. Dancing followed; thus ending a pleasant evening. The class officers arc as follows: Philip Goldsmith, President; Sclir.a Curry, Vice-President; Sadie Whitchouse, Secretary; Dorothy Atkin, Treasurer; Carl Metz- ger, Cheer Leader; Mrs. Lyman and Mr. Br ant Class Advisers. In athletics we rank high. Carl Metzger is one of the best on the 1 rack Team. Margaret Powell. Gertrude Eisenbrey, Ruth Stafford, Dorothy Kennedy and others succeeded in capturing the cup given for first place in the Annual Gym. Meet for girls. Sadie Wiiitkhouse, Secretary. Forty-three GLASS OF JANUARY '22 No history was handed in for this class so of course we are not able to tell you much about them. They may he bashful or something like that, but anyway we re sure they are just as full of life and good old West High spirit as any other class mentioned in this book. Graduating Class included. CLASS OF JUNE ‘22 Our Frosh Reception was attended and enjoyed by all. The Soph Masque Party was the best party in the school and the most successful of all years, having more than two hundred masked figures present. Members of the Executive Council arc: Loretta Yerger, Olive Tomlinson and William. Bush. The girl officers are: President, Ruth Mathews; Vice-President, Loretta Yerger; Secretary, Eleanor Haensal; Cheer Leader, Esther Noelke. The boy officers arc: President, Leighton Beers; Vice-President, William Lutz; Secretary, Oliver Green; Cheer Leader, Lowell MacMillan. Oliver Green, Secretary. NO CLASS HISTORIES The two Freshmen classes as yet have no histories so we arc unable to print them here. We wish them good luck.

L. Morse WE had been in Boston three days and in those three days we accomplished more work than the average union laborer would in two weeks. First we put on one thousand tons of coal, after that came all hands scrub down, and that finished the first day’s work. The second day we loaded 125 car loads of supplies, that is field pieces, shells of small caliber and supplies for the troops. The third day we painted the ship with more pretty colors than you could count on your fingers and toes. At about 6:30 P. M. orders came for us to go to Newport News for the com- pletion of our cargo and then to go to New York for our troops. In the middle of the night, wc got a wireless from Newport News to sail directly for New York. We arrived in New York about 4 o’clock in the morning and were all routed out of bed. to dock the ship. We finished docking, had our breakfast and started for the main deck for a smoke. About fifteen minutes later we saw a great commotion on the dock, and two automobiles with plain-clothes men standing on the running board stopped at the main gangway, and all the deck force was piped aft. Of course I was included, and we got right down to the autos to see why they caused all the stir. There were ten boxes in each car, each about two feet and a half long, one foot and a half wide and one foot deep. I grabbed one of the handles of one, as if I was going to lift it all alone, and as it did not budge, a plain-clothes man smiled and said. You’d better grow some before you start handling those things alone, sonny.” Of course I didn’t doubt his word a bit. because he added that they weighed four hundred and fifty pounds apiece. We had four men to a box and I think we could easily have stood six or even seven. Wc got them all aboard and stowed in the air tight compartment forward. Just as 1 was leaving the compartment I saw twelve big mariners unloading their packs in the brig compartment and some of our fellows were removing their seabags to the new bag alley. I said to the “gob” in front of me. “What are the “Leather-necks” going to do?” The reply was, “They have been detailed to guard that money.” And it was then I found out what all the chests contained. It was some precious cargo. Forty-eight It contained fourteen chests of gold, twenty million dollars’ worth, and the other chests had silver worth half a million. That was the nearest I ever came to being a millionaire. The next morning our troops came aboard. (We only had nineteen hundred.) ThfT.wrre a downhJieamd looking crowd, and I don’t blame them. Wc had it bad enough and we only got into God’s country about once a month, and that was terrible. Some of those poor fellows were over there eighteen months or more at a stretch. We sailed from New York on the sixth of January, 1918, and it was very cold; in fact when we left Sandy Hook behind us. the sleet was coming down thick and fast and I • for the first two days the barometer registered from zero to five degrees above—not one bit more. Wc all wore our wind-proof clothing and helmets. Our wind-proofs were made of ram cloth, and were water-proof as well as wind-proof. In all we had four pieces of clothing; a jumper and pair of trousers of rain cloth, a pair of boots that extended to our knees, and laced up the front, and a woolen jumper which covered the head, arms and the body to the waist. On the evening of the third day, it started to get warm, and the barometer registered twenty-five. I went on watch at midnight for two hours, and discarded my wind-proofs for my pea-coat. When T came off watch the barometer registered thirty-two. We were going through the gulf stream, and at noon the next day the barometer would start to go down. � « • • • On the sixth day out we sighted a hydroplane coming our way, and we knew we were in the real danger zone. The skippcr' dcred our old course changed two degrees to the north. We w'€ e headed directly for the southern coast of Ireland, and we started to wonder if we were going to make for Queenstown. Ireland. On the morning of the seventh day, just before noon, the lookout on watch, who happened to be an Italian, sighted something which he said looked like a periscope about four miles to the south of us. One of the signal boys semaphored to one of the destroyers and that little boat hurried off to find it. The destroyer, which was the MacDougall, had been gone about twenty minutes, and the buzzer from the look- out started to buzz again. The lad on lookout started to talk in a jumble, and the quartermaster could not understand what he was trying to say, so he called the Officer Forty-nine of thr Deck, and that worthy could not understand either. Just then one ot the signalmen saw some white foam coming through the water about one hundred yards off our starboard quarter and he let a yell out of him. The O. D. came running to the wing of the bridge, and he saw in a flash, turned to the wheel-man and told him to zigzag our course. He then rang for full speed ahead. It takes a ship of our size quite a few seconds to mind its helm and that torpedo was about seventy-five feet off when the stern of the ship started to swing for the north. We were heading directly south and that torpedo passed along nearly the whole length of the ship and kept on going. The skipper said there was no use firing at it because it would sink as soon as it went a little farther, so we let it go. We fired one o( pur one pound guns to attract the attention of the MacDougall, and she came after us with the water cutting over her bow and shooting out on each side like a huge fan. We told her the trouble and continued on our way. We were headed for Liverpool, England, and we got there on the morning of January 13. As usual, the English were having their beautiful snowy season. We docked on the waterfront and unloaded our troops. The chests stayed aboard for two i days. On the morning of the second day, two wagons that looked like our morgue wagons drove up. We wondered who had died and we soon found out, because we had to carry the chests down the gangway and load them on the wagons. Then wc knew that our gold and silver was to be carried away in an old wagon, when they should have brought the King’s carriages. The ‘'Leathernecks” piled in on top of the chests and drove away in a hurry. I went ashore and saw them loading it on an express train for shipment to London. There was a great crowd around, and I said to a fellow with me, “It takes the American money to draw the English crowds.” We happened to be in the front of the crowd whom the cops were trying to disperse. They started pushing us around, when one of the big marines said, it was all right for us to stay there if we wanted to, so we thanked him and laughed at the cop. Bess—You interest me strangely, Jack, as no other man ever has. Jack—You sprung that on me last night. Bess Oh, was it you? Pardon me for repeating.

Fifty-two AthU'fe I Foreword NOW that the war has ended we seem to be devoting more time than ever to athletics. We hear from all over the country that athletics are being sup- ported with new vigor and that all thru this fall the number of people par- ticipating in the different sports and the number of rooters have been record breaking. This revival in the realm of sports is due mainly to the fact that this war has taught us the true value of athletics and the amount of satisfaction and real benefit that one derives from having a body that is physically strong. Is there anyone, who will not admit the fact, that the West High Student Body is behind athletics and is pushing them with all that is in it? Is there anyone who will not admit that our school spirit has been in as high a pitch thruout this fall as it has ever been since the days of football? If there is someone so misinformed as not to agree to the only true answers to these questions let him recall; the splendid manner in which our teams have been supported; the number of people taking part in the different tournaments; the keen but friendly rivalry which the classes have evinced in their contests and lastly the wonderful work which the girls have been doing in their gymnasium. So far this year we have been quite successful in athletics. Credit for this success is due especially to fellow's like Albert Makin, James Izzo, Francis Reynolds, Francis McConville and James Cerquone. These fellows have played a good game of soccer and have also landed a berth on our basketball team. A class with so many accomplishments is expected to include in its numbers some good athletics. T. hat, we have not fallen short of the expectation and have done a great deal to help sports is evident, for we have given Henry' Rohrer, Arthur Milanetti, Francis Reynolds, George Wahl, James Cerquone and Kenneth Skinner to the various teams representing our school. In the future let us do all that is in our power to keep West High upon the high plane which it now occupies and let us remember that the biggest thing is not to win but to serve our Alma Mater by playing the game fair, clean and square.

Already, before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a High School basketball game, we met defeat at the hands of East High. All season Makin has been hanging on to his man in a “bulldog” fashion. Powell, a new man in West High, has put up a superhuman exhibition of basketball. Other shining lights were Harry Smith, “Jimmy” Ccrquone and “Art” Milanetti. Albert Makin James Izzo Peter Panepinto Walter Powell James Cerquone Arthur Milanf.tti Henry Rohrer Francis McConville Looking Ahead IN TRACK Despite the fact that West High has lost spikemen like Angevine, Allen and Palmer, Coach Bezant is confident of being able to turn out a team which will rival that of last year and like them, again beat East High.

Carl Metzger Albert Makin IN SWIMMING West High had a swimming team last year which won every meet including two against East High. This year they are planning to do the same thing over agairf. It looks as if they will be able to repeat the trick for they have lost only one man of last year’s team while they have acquired three or four of whom much is expected. Herbert Messikcer Manager Mr. Kenyon Coach THE TEAM George Wahl Herbert Messincer Austin Mosher Francis Reynolds Raymond Seidel Paul Whipple IN THE GIRLS' GYM. Does West High appreciate the good work done by the girls in their gymnasium work? Gaze upon the tasks done by them in the past term! Just recently the G. A. A. and Riding Clubs were formed. What a pleasure and benefit for keeping the girls together these have been! After school the older girls play basketball and the “Freshies” play group games. Some class, eh? Our Freshmen Class That we have material in our Freshmen Class which will some day bring smiles of contentment to the faces of our coaches is quite evident from the fact that the Frosh team won the championship of the league of which they are a member after going thru a long season almost without losing a game. The Freshmen also won the school championship in soccer bjr beating the Juniors. They are now preparing to do the same in basketball. The Freshmen Class lias shown the. same pep in everything else as they have in their athletics. They have supported our teams nobly. We wish them the best of success in their future undertakings.

No broom ever swept clean, because a goodly share of what the broom stirs up settles on the walls, mould- ings, pictures and draperies, instead of the dust pan. Every time the broom stirs up the dust there is danger that someone in the household may breathe in some of the deadly germs which are always present therein, no matter how careful the housewife may be. There is just one way to avoid this danger, and that is to use a Hoover Electric Cleaner. The “ Hoover ” is being demonstrated daily at our office. It will interest you and convince you.

George Johnson, who has served as president for two successive years, deserves a special word of praise for his unswerving devotion to and his continued service in behalf of his class. Nor can we sufficiently thank our advisers for the way they have guided us in the perilous paths of parties and entertainments. They were deeply interested in the slightest activity of members of the class, who in turn are most grateful to them, and hope to some day be able to express properly their gratitude and appreciation.

Four Ages of Man He comes here as a Freshman bold; you can’t tell him a thing. “The elevator”?—Oh, that’s old. Get something new to spring. “You ask him what he’s going to do when his bean is stuffed with knowledge and his Alma Mater says he’s thru, then is he going to college”? “Ohyes, I expect to go to Yale,” he says with lofty air. “Watch your step or you’ll go to jail,” we want to say —don’t dare. When he’s a Sophomore then he thinks he knows all he needs to know. Why go to Yale and get more kinks into your brain and brow'? A Junior pert he tells of how he skipped his study hall and went to Doc’s, and of the row when Jenner heard it all. A Senior—then it’s not so easy to loaf thru all his classes; but he acquires a manner breezy and shimmies with the lasses. He’s thinking now of the U. of R. with Dad near to cough up mon; it’s tough to go from home so far when all is said and done. He just skins thru his Greek and Math; his diploma he grips hard. He has kicked the barriers from his path; no jobs from him are barred. He sallies forth with springy step some cinchy job to cop. One month from now he’s lost his pep—he sweeps his father’s shop. Forty- six History of the Class of June 1920 THE class of June 1920, first initiated in the Year of our Lord 1916 into the mysteries of how to appear sophomores when only frosh, is now completing a career as successful and eventful as has ever been witnessed by its good old Alma Mater, West High. hrom the time this superclass entered, up to the time it is about to graduate, it has been a maker of history. Why, would you believe it? Way back in the dim and dusky past in our infant years of long ago when most children would still be trem- bling under the freezing gaze of seniors, we—we just threw off our natural humilia- tion, let loose our pep, showed our mettle, our strong right arm, by utterly van- quishing all the rest of the classes in basketball. Some start? N'est-ce pas? Well will many remember what I am now about to call to mind, when, on a memorable night, dressed in Sunday apparel, the girls with their pretty curls sur- mounted by stiff butterfly bows, the boys with short pants and Buster Brown tics, we ushered our parents about the school, introducing them to our dear teachers with the greatest affability and manifest affection resulting from this task. Of course, no one knew that our hearts were in our mouths, fearful lest some well- meaning lehrerin should let fall the word that would be our undoing. Sophomores we at length became—high and mighty sophs! Realizing the lofti- ness of our newly-acquired dignity and destination we held a party in honor thereof, and a sleighride too. The latter, however, was a sort of hoax as there happened to be no snow. So we sought pleasure in the gym to the tune of “Poor Butterfly” and “Way Down in Tennesee.” When we attained to the rank of Juniors, upper classmen in the true and broad sense of the term, we had a never-to-be-forgotten prom, an occasion that will dwell in our hearts forever. And who will fail to recollect that play given under the direction of Mrs. Ellis? “The Flower Shop” was its name. Its success crowned the heads of the actors (Hazel Kolb, Paul Cooley and Evelyn Hess) with a well- deserved glory. Oh! and yes, there was a sleighride, too, that must not be over- looked, for the memory of it is still fresh in the minds of many. Now my pen begins to waver and to hesitate. How can I find words to close adequately my poor attempt at describing the class of 1920 and its activities? Our social pleasures, as Seniors, have been many, but the event that outshines all was the production of “The House Next Door.” Never in the life of the school had such success come to home talent. Goodloe Barry, William Ewell, Paul Whipple, Marion Webster, Myrna Gibson and Watson Paddock proved that never such a class as ours has existed. Then besides another successful sleighride and a friendly little dance in the gym, most remarkable genius has been demonstrated by certain members of the 1920class. Orators we have in abounding plenty. Weldon Hames, Paul Whipple and Elmer Hoare are men of whom any class may well be proud to boast. Evelyn Kuhs has immortalized her name as an amateur writer. Judy s artistic ability is praised by all. This class of which I speak so freely is loved and esteemed (I take the liberty to assert) by principal, teachers and fellow students. Forty-ecvcn Memories i Back thru the years that are to come Back do we turn in memory; And out of the past—in the light of remembrance Cometh a vision. Dim dusky corridors Half-open doors, sending paths of light Into the gloom, making queer shadows on the mottled floor; And thru the doorway Big, empty school-rooms,— Rooms still holding an echo of laughter and shouting, An echo scorning the deep silences. But out of the silence and dimness, Clad in shadow, almost a part of it, Shineth the Spirit. Living still, to guard new lives; To guide other foot steps in the Path of Learning, Even as she guided and guarded us; A spirit loving, brooding over us, Helping, protecting us, Loved by us, despite-a memory dimmed by the years. The vision fadeth, remembrance—never; Still the Spirit lingers. The Spirit of thy care remains Always guiding us, Moulding life and character As only one like thee, loved and loving, May linger thru the interminable years. Evelyn Kuhs. Forty-eight Class Prophecy FATE has decided my lot in life. I am doomed to squat on a pillow, before a tripod of burning incense, amidst tapestries of antique value, and predict the future of those weary mortals, who pay me a dollar to relieve their disturbed breasts. Alas! This is my calling until “Comes the blind Fury with the abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life.’ As I am thus reclining, hopefully waiting for a prospective customer, my mind wan- ders, and in a pleasant reverie, I recall my friends of high school days. My curiosity overwhelms me and urges me to determine what the future holds ip store for them. I grasp a handful of the precious incense and cast it on the burning embers. Behold! 1 he curtain of destiny rolls back and in the blue flame I see a bustling city. Worried, eager souls hurry along the noisy thoroughfares. In the seething mass I discern the beaming countenances of Watson Paddock and Elmer Hoare. The former is the proprietor of the “Chicksburg Cheese Factory” and the latter is a prosperous salesman of Auwdrey Costello’s latest book, ‘‘Diploma sans Studying.” They accost a taxi driver, who proves to be William Brooks and after an exchange of greetings they proceed along the avenue until they come to a modest appearing restaurant over which the sign “Graham and Gruppe” is displayed. They embark and enter. A shy, blushing waiter advances and greets them. They recognize Austin Moshier. In the background his assistants, Mildred Durkee, Genevieve Cazeau, Ravenda A1 verson, Helen Isler, Elmer Gauch, Henry Wiser, Roger St. Helens and Feehan Fitzpatrick, chatter, giggle and beam on select consumers of chop suey, macaroni, etc., Mr. Moshier politely suggests that perhaps Watson and “Red” would like to join some former class-mates in the private living-room. They accept and are delighted to eat in the company of Mr. and Mrs. William Ewell (the latter formerly Judith Olmsted), who conduct a dancing academy on Broadway; Monica Walsh, agent for the Atlantic Supply Company, who guarantees a clean face and hands for the person who uses her wares; Helen Cashman, Monica’s travelling com- panion, who sells curling irons of her own invention; Evelyn Kuhs, who has written a new version of Virgil; Gordon Hoit, who has discovered a fish without bones and William Kane, a prosperous manufacturer of “galloping dominoes.” By a careful study of the movement of the diners, I gather that Arthur Jones is a humble minister, residing in a small, isolated town and that he has discovered a means of getting into heaven without being good, that Herman Wagner is a success- ful milk man, that Hervcy Bennett has invented a car that runs without steering and that Margaret Tracy has established a system of beauty shops, wherein she employs Christine Sullivan, Lucille Wintish and Mildred I urner as manicurists, Doris Evarts, Florence Garnandt, Evelyn Hart and Katherine Goold as masseuses, Claudia Palmer, Ruth Avery and Florance Fisher as hair dressers and Harold Goodell, who stands outside and attracts customers. At length, the meal is finished and as per suggestion the “gang” retreat to a nearby theater to see “Tillie’s Trials,” written by Paul G. Cooley, directed by Paul Brien and played in a theatre owned by Leland Altpcters. Can it be possible. 1 he title role is played by Mrs. Goodloe Barry, nee Hybrauxzyvitch and the subject of her trials is her husband, (all of which pass in the play). Other parts are taken by Agatha Clark, Helen Allison, Gertrude Bown, Raymond Barsdalc Earl Ashton, Gordon Henderson and Francis Reynolds. But! Pipe down I he chorus appears. Isabelle Chase and Harvey Lockwood are the sole dancers. How lightly and skillfully they skim over the stage! In the ranks of “twenty under forty and the jumping Forty-nine A Johnnies ' I see Elsie Hunt, Alice Maurer, Emily Rowe, Bessie La Barr, Louise Moulton, Lilian Davis, Allison Smy, Harold Ackert, Paul Ernsberger, Mark Hodder and Charles Hegadorn. The assembly is kept stepping together by an orchestra un- der the leadership of the eminent violinist, Benjamin Chamberlin. After the regular performance Galli Curci’s one time under study but now the world’s most popular Prima Donna, Winifred Weet, gave a heart rendering solo entitled “An Ap-pccl to a Potato.” To say that this selection was appreciated by the patient audience would be far from erroneous. After the show a glorious reunion is held at the Walled-off-Castoria, where absent class mates are discussed. I watch the rapid moving lips of the assemblage and record what I can discern. Grace McCarthy has Ireland nearly free and London Williams is sure to be its next president. Ernest Underwood is manager of a show that rivals “Ringling’s” and it is reported to be a “holy circus.” Dorothy Atter- bury, Gertrude Bailey and Evelyn Hess are his greatest assests in this most educa- tional and noteworthy work. Weldon Hames is teaching geometry and is extremely successful, as he can sympathize with his pupils. Leora Burke has retired to the seclusion of her country home on Long Island after having toured the country show- ing the latest forms of hair dressing. Katherine Cherry, a missionary in China, is ably assisted by Marion Anthony, Marion Graham and Hazel Kolb, who take great delight in beaming on the pleasant Chinamen. In the height of festivities the picture fades. I cast more incense on the coals and another appears. It is a pleasantly situated girls’ college. From the President’s office, Marion Kelly, the stenographer, emerges. She leaves the door ajar. I look in. Have I not seen that tall, prim lady before? Why surely, for it is Ruth Kurtz. She knows she can depend on their mental abilities. Elizabeth Dohbel teaches Latin, Rosamond Ellis, Greek; Arlene Locklin, English; Marion McCarthy, painting; Gertrude Nobles, history; Dorothy Miller, mathematics; Alma Rotmans, French and Carmel Hartell, economics; while Wilma Briggs guarantees health and agility for all students who exercise twenty minutes daily. The fire acts strangely, crackles and a cloud of smoke issues from the tripod. In its curling folds, I sec the busy office of a prosperous book company. In the execu- tive chair sits Paul Whipple. He always was good at execution; I remember he used to knock ’em cold, when he would speak from the platform. He is directing his salespeople, Dorothy Lobbett, Reginald Titus, Ellis Holden and Lucille Savage as to the sale of a new book, “Why Girls Leave Home,” by Clarence Henry. He remon- strates that the book should be a good seller as Cass ought to know his subject. This is also the case with “An Inquiry into the Cause for the Mental Delinquency of High School Students” by Elizabeth Root, “How to Gain a Good Complexion” by Helen Jacques, who has long held the secret and “How to Act Like a Fish” by Herbert Messenger. I see a score of stenographers in an adjoining office. Among them I recognize Esther Gerling, Ruth Page, Marion Dark and Jeanette Coon. In still another office Jennie Page, Isabelle Schillinger and Ruth Owen, directed by Dolores Kellogg, a shrewd business woman, inscribe in immense books, orders bills, etc. I am enchanted by the activity of the business people, but the picture vanishes and a series of vastly different types appear in rapid succession. I sec a delightful, rambling Country Club. On its vast lawns Ruth Vanderpool and Marion Van Duser, wealthy social butterflies, strive in vain to teach Adair Wellington to ride horseback. On a nearby tennis court Martha Spinning and Eliza- beth Smith play away their cares. I am intensely interested but the spirits of dark- ness decide that I must not thus idly dream and I discern in the fast dying embers a courtroom; I believe I have seen that stern white-haired man, who occupies the judge s chair, before. It is George Johnson and he vainly calls for quiet, as he used Fifty to long ago at class meeting in old West High. Finally, court attendant William Shepard subdues the assembled crowd. A burly policeman bawls out “Kenneth Cell! Charge—speeding.” George’s face melts upon recognition of an old class mate and after the eloquent pleading of Katherine Stewart, the country’s foremost woman lawyer, he agrees to let “Ken” go upon payment of bail by a companion, Allen Thomas, millionaire club man, who is still looking for the right woman. Unusual bustle attends the next picture. The scene is Hollywood, Cal. Crawford Barry is directing a movie, a super-production entitled “The Lost Gin Recipe,” the scenario of which was written by Howard Wood, who made his money in a recent invention, an aeroplane, which makes daily trips to the moon. Hurray for Howard! We knew that he would get there some night. Myrna Gibson, Gladys Taber, Esther Dowe, Estelle Chappel, Allen Soults and Dick Wilbur stand idly about waiting for action to begin. Their most cherished dreams are realized for they have displaced Nazimova, Mary Pickford, Owen Moore, and various other favorites of the distant past. The last picture disappears. My reverie is broken. The embers of the vision- producing coals die out, but not so the future of the CLASS of NINETEEN TWENTY. May its members live and prosper, glorified by happiness and success. Harold Fagan. Sht—“Jack says my mouth is the prettiest he has ever seen.” He—“Indeed ?

What’s the complaint?” “No complaint; everybody’s satis- fied.” While the organ peeled potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir; While the preacher rang the dishrag, Someone set the church on fire. “Holy smokes!” the preacher shouted, And in running lost his hair; Now his head resembles Heaven For there is no parting there.

The staff was considerably enlarged and there have been several innovations in the magazine itself; notably new departments and new methods of advertising. If these additions were in the nature of experiments they have certainly proved successful, for during the past year the Occident has been well managed, well advertised and well read.

ONE Dark night Stell Moshicr sat in the doorway in a Kane seated chair Spinning. She was the daughter of a Miller, old Thomas Moshier, Alver’s son and the grandson of a blackSmith. Wilbur Sullivan came up the path and called to her, “Come out, dear Hart. I have something to tell you.” He was no Shepard, Bowman or Fischer but a man straight from the great world and Stell thot that compared with him Burke and Wellington could hardly be called Nobles altho he was the descendant of a Palmer. Out in the Wood near the Root of a tall tree by two Brooks, the Locklin and the Ewell, he told her of his love in words, to her, more eloquent than those of Anthony. Suddenly they were interrupted by Brien Fitzpatrick, Hender’s son, andAvery. Ashton, an Englishman and an agent of Bailey Hodder, Titus Soult’s p artner Avery cried, “I’ve come for the rest of that Dowe you owe Bailey for the Taber (tabor). Give me some Maurer (more er) we can’t call it even. I want that Cash man. If you don’t give it to me I’m to run this Durkee (dirk 'ee) gave me clean thru you.” Bet he never told you to do that,” shrieked Brien, “He’d be afraid to, the old hardheaded skinflint, Lob”—“Bett he would,” interrupted Avery. “Now you pay me enough to cover the Cost—’ello where are you going? Come back ’ere.” “Chase me if you like but you’ll have to Hunt harder than you ever did to find any Coon you were after. Holden (hold on), don’t get so excited. You can come after me if you like.” “I’ll catch you and make a Heg adorn- (egg adorn) your ead,” shouted Avery and they disappeared in the direction of Barsdale. The lovers walked on, Wilbur telling Stell that before the Cherry trees bloomed again they would be married in the little Chappel in Lockwood. “As Beers arc prohibited wc will have to have Graham crackers and Gell for the wedding breakfast,” she laughed. “Yes,” he answered, “we’ll have to have them brought in by a Chinese Cooley and we’ll have Barrys too—an elderBarry at least.” A little later he said, “After the wedding we will drive over to the station in the finest conveyance in town.” “I guess it will have to B riggs (be rigs) from Walsh Evart s,” she added. Just then they heard Paddock calling and started homeward. 'I he Kuhs (coos) of the doves could be heard in the distance. On the way they suddenly heard Avery call out, “ ’Alt Peter!” They stopped and after being assured that it was not Peter he had heard he said he was still trying to find Brien. But I’ll have Peter and Ben nett him tomorrow” he asserted. “’E’U avc to pay me if he pays in Weet (wheat).” As they drew near Stell’s home Wilbur quoted softly, “East, west—Hame’s best. When they reached the house, however, old Moshier was striding up and down like a Savage. Keep away from my daughter” he growled—his temper hotter than Moulton (molten) metal—“or I’ll Turner (turn ’er) out.” Fifty four Bidding him Ackert (a curt) goodnight he turned to Stell saying, “You might better be giving Olmsted (alms ’stead) of going with him.” Stell pleaded with him and finally he said, “I’m Wiser than I was before. I see I must let your Hartell (heart tell) you what to do. Before the Hoare frost comes again I’ll have Jacques Cazeau and Kelly McCarthy, William’s men and partners of old Ernsberger, build an ell on this house and when that Ellis (ell is) finished it’ll be one that a Chamberlin or even a Stewart himself wouldn’t be ashamed of. It’Smy wedding present to you.” Stell went happily up to her room. As she stood looking at the picture of a Saint Helen’s favorite, she said slowly, “ Helen Schillinger will be my Maid of Honor and we will have some of Wagner’s music before the Wedding March.” Sitting down she wrote a few hurried Pages to Wilbur to tell him of her father’s change of heart. In the meantime Wilbur had reached the boarding house. Meeting A1 Whipple, John’s son, he said, “AI lison (A1 listen). I’ve had a Rowe with Stell’s father,” and he told him all about it. “You may Win Tish Vanderpool if you can; she is not Gauch by any means, but I shall win Stell yet.” He went on, “Henry Atterbury, Gib’s son from Gernandt, will be my best man and Fagan Hess, Owen Hoit and Clark Gruppe will come over from LaBar in Jones’ car. Tracy Van Duser and Davis Isler will surely come if they know. Dr. Bevan will marry us and Goold Kolb will decorate the Chappel. There’ll be enough to kidnap her if necessary.” “Freedman Kurtz and Bown will suahly be hcah ” drawled Al. “There goes Doh bel (door bell)” he added. “Looks like Goodell Underwood, Rotman’s new errand boy.” The young Messinger handed Wilbur Stell’s note. With a joyous shout he cried, “The old man’s consented!” and rushed off to talk with him before he could change his mind. Helen Allison and Adair Wellington. Fifty-five The Crimson Trail CHAPTER I Discovery AT the door leading from hall to library the woman paused. A slow horror f crept into her eyes and her hand stole to her throat as though to tear away the - unnamablc something that was strangling her. It was several moments before she recovered herself sufficiently to enter the room. On the floor lay a curved Indian dagger, its jewreled hilt gleaming ominously in the half-light. Beside it was the ruin of the small glass sheath in which it had been kept, ground to fragments by the pressure of a man’s heel. Over and about the whole was blood, still wet and red and warm to the touch of her frightened hand. She had told him, months before, when he first got it, that the dagger, stolen from a Hindu temple, w'ould cause trouble. But he had laughed and called her a foolish littl girl, and had not believed that there would be any danger from the keen- edged blade. And now it had come. CHAPTER II The Trail of Blood There were bloodstains leading from the spot in a vague uncertain track. Hesitatingly, she rose and followed their lead, to the other door, through the sun- parlor, across the hall, and into the den. And there—there she saw the body of her husband stretched prone upon the floor, head and half his shoulders hidden under the heavy fringe of the divan. There was blood on his shoes, his trousers, his coat— on every article of clothing covering the inert figure. She paused beside him, horror-stricken. “ Jim,” she breathed, when she could find voice to utter his name, “Jim!” CHAPTER III Our of the Depths “I wish to goodness, Marian,” said Jim, peevishly, emerging from under the divan, “that you’d keep Baby away from the library. I knew he’d knock that dagger off the table sometime, and now he has. Cut his foot badly on the glass, I guess, for he got me all bloody when I picked him up; and then he pulled away and limped in here. Now, he’s hid under the couch and I can’t get him out. I can’t understand, he finished plaintively, “why he won’t come to me as he does to you. I certainly love him just as much.” Maybe this will be a lesson to you,” she said severley, “to put tltat dagger in your cabinet, as I told you to, long ago. She bent down beside the divan. “Come to Muvver, Baby dear, she pleaded anxiously. “Nice Baby—here he comes— that’s the good Kitty, come and get his little paw' bandaged.” F i f l y - i x DRAMATICS Senior Play Cast Senior Play NEVER in the history of West High School has there been such a success as was “The House Next Door.” Mrs. Ellis put a great deal of good hard work on this play and it showed the result. Both the acting and the scenery were superb. Race hatred between an old English lord and a newly rich Jew furnished a fine theme for the production. Goodloe Barry and Paul Whipple showed a great deal of ability in playing these rival roles. These two gentlemen and their families lived next door to each other. Marian Webster and William Ewell were the grown up children of Sir John. In the house next door Myrna Gibson and Watson Paddock had the same positions. To complicate matters the boy of each family was in love with the girl in the other. The English lord’s wife (Beatrice Ballinger) tried her best to pacify the family when Sir John heard the news, while Mrs. Jacobson (Dorothy Miller) only made matters worse by her attitude towards the Cotswold family. Raymond Beers, a music agent, added a great deal of humor by his loud manners and funny sayings. Charles Stone- burg who played the part of Captain Trevor, a social parasite, also made himself a general nuisance. (Quite a promotion from a captain). Eugene Mackwood made a very good butler for both families. George Wahl, Crawford Barry and Elmer Hoare were responsible for the finan- cial success of the play. Junior Play THE Junior plays, given by the classes of January and June, 1921, were staged April 30, 1920. The performances were under the direction of Mrs. Ellis, whose reputation as a supervisor of plays speaks well for the success of the play. The performances lasted about forty minutes each and were followed by danc- ing in the corridors. The plays given were a love story by Ian Hay, called “ 1 he Late Delivery”, and an Irish comedy, “Hyacinth Halvey.” The casts were: The Late Delivery— Marjorie, Helen Goold; Bill Aymer, Clarence Henry; Tim, John Shaw; Grice, the butler, Irwin Grau; Mrs. Grice, Virginia Mansfield. Hyacinth Halvey— Miss Delane, Avise Mattice; Miss Joyce, Lillian Germinder; Sergeant, Nor- man O’Brien; Fardy, Frank Saunders; Hyacinth, Ralph Hoyt; James Quirk, Norman Lyon. The business staff was composed of Boyd Mullan, Jack Dimon, Ernest Under- wood, Emmet Lynn, Theodore Clement, Elmer Webb and Robert Congdon. The plays were a decided success, due to the hard work of Mrs. Ellis, who, we are sorry to say, will not be with us next year. Capt.Cass. aii’-TTi Orange and Th joWson you. S now bound bl oreUhe ast.

Coach Tichenor issued an early call and several promising candidates responded. With only three veterans, Holden, Thomas and Brien, West High came thru its opening game with a victory over Avon by a score of 9-5. Brien at second base forms the nucleus of the infield. With him are Beers, first base, Leone, short stop, and Powclson, third base. In the outfield Holden is the only veteran. However Clark and Burrows have shown considerable ability in filling the other two outfield positions. The battery consists of Thomas, Lutz, and Leone, pitchers; and Steves and Dugan, catchers. Thomas, is the mainstay of the pitching staff. In the three following games West High won three decisive victories over Avon (return game), Canandaigua and Brockport. Then to crown the begin- ning of a successful season, our team beat East High 14-10 in a game featured by heavy hitting and good fielding on our part. Si xt y - f i v e The Track Team Manager James Gray Captain Ernest Underwood If there is one sport this spring which has great possibilities for a successful sea- son it is track. With Captain Ernest Underwood, a veteran of three years and such athletes as Gucker, Metzger, Makin, Clements, Taylor, Grau, Gray, Babcock and Glover making bids for premier honors on the cinder path, West High should have little fear of the various meets which have been scheduled by Manager Gray this year. Among those of the greatest importance scheduled are the interscholastic meets at Batavia and Syracuse and the final meet between East and West High. Si x ty -� i j EST High was represented on the ice this year and altho the team was unable to come across with a win, they were able to put up a fast clean game. The team was composed of all green material as their was no hockey team formed last year. The playing of Brien, Beers and Johnson featured all season and prospects for a winning team next year are bright as a result of the formation of the team last winter. Brien Rover, Captain Beers Mullen Wing Johnson Dyer Wing Dugan Henry Center, Manager Cowles, Coverpoinl Point Goal Hoit Substitutes The Swimming Team Swimming rJ 'HE West High swimming team has started another successful season this year. They went to Manlius and took a beating at the hands of the soldiers but came back strong when they met the East High boys in a dual meet three weeks later. They turned back the Oriental fish by a score of 44 to 18. The work of Herbert Mcssinger featured the meet. Messinger is a 1920 man and his record sets him forth as the fastest dash man in the city. This is the second time in two years that an Occidental team has come across with a win over the East High swimming team and as the majority of the team is to be back in school next year the prospects for an- other win next season seem rather good. Much credit for the success of the West High swimming team of the last two years is due to the excellent coaching ability of Mr. Kenyon, who has had charge of the hoys in the tank. Sixty-eight Messinger, Emory, Leadly, Wickens, Sidel, Paine TENNIS Manager Harry Smith Captain Weldon Hames With each succeeding year, new and added interest tends to place the game of tennis among the primary ranks of clean sports. This statement at last has been proved in one respect as revealed by the growing number of enthusiasts in this school. The team which last year came thru the season without a defeat and which won the interscholastic championship has two of its veteran members back again this year. They arc Don Burrows and Weldon Hames, captain. Both players have had considerable experience in high school competitions and can well hold their own. However with Harry Smith, a former West High player, and George Parsells, a substitute of last year, the Orange and Black ought with little difficulty to extend its victorious conquests among the leading high schools of Western and Central New York. Sixty-oiae The Riding Club HARK! A clatter of hoofs is heard along the silent street! Into sight around the corner there comes a—; but hold, what is it? A circus, a squad of cavalry, or a funeral? Surely not the last, for the advance is a trifle speedy for the corpse to keep up with, yet here comes the hearse along in the rear. The cavalry solution is equally impossible, for the riders could scarcely be said to be in uniform. Not a circus, for altho the prancing steeds cut enough capers the fair riders appear to be not entirely confident of their prowess. Ah no! 'tis none of these. It is the West High School Riding Club, or part of it, that disturbs the peace of the tranquil city. But why the “hearse”? The fair ones might find the chargers a bit too lively, so it comes along to pick up the pieces or give the tired ones a free ride home as the case may be. A. E. W. P. (leaving)—“You are the light of my life.” Angry Voice from Upstairs—“Put out that light!” “Aw, shut up” “You’re the biggest nut in the room.” Teacher—“ Boys, boys, don’t for- get I am here.” Crawford Barry was riding home from a dance one night, sharing the back seat with Lois and another couple, the chaperon in the front seat. Crawford to Lois, trying to be com- fortable with four in a seat, “Am I squeezing you too tight?” Judith Olmsted was boasting about her great ability as an artist. “Why,” she said, “with one stroke I can change a smiling face into a sorrowful one!” “Pooh, that’s nothing!” remarked Goodloe Barry, “So can Mr. Jcnner.” Mr. Schwarm—“Don’t you know that punctuation means that you must pause?” Paul Ernsberger—“Of course I do. An auto driver punctuated his tire in front of our house Sunday and he paused for half an hour.” Iwo West High students were strol- ling thru the art gallery. They stopped before one exhibit. “Oh, how sweet!” she breathed. “I wonder what it means?” ques- tioned the young fellow, as he eyed the pictured pair who clung together in an attitude of love and longing. “Oh, Charlie, don’t you see?” the girl chided tenderly. “He has just asked her to marry him and she has consented. It’s lovely! What does the artist call the picture?” 1 he young man leaned nearer and eyed a little label on the frame. “1 see!” he cried, “It’s printed on this card here—‘Sold!’ ” • ? e v c n l y music West High Band Band I he band is the latest annexation to our musical organizations. Twice a week its members gather in the assembly and fill our corridors with soulful music from Sousa’s March to Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. Considering the short time the band has been in existence, its progress has been phenominal, due without doubt to Mr. Fay’s excellent leadership. It has made itself an essential part of school life. No game is complete without its stirring music. Jay W.

It was due without doubt to the hard work of both Mr. Maddy and the members of the orchestra. At the different entertainments the orchestra made its services invaluable. Not only has the orchestra proved itself worthy of praise in this way but the training that it has given the pupils can never really be accurately estimated. We all hope that this good work will be kept up so that higher education in music will always be at the command of the students.
