We were often puzzled as to why we were so easily recognizable from the hun- dreds of others who seemed no different from ourselves. Though we may have wondered then, it is no trick for us to pick out a Freshic now, tor he has a green uninitiated air, he forgets his classes, he goes without his coat, he wanders into private sanctuaries, and he commits incongruities without number. While we made no history that first year, we were wearing off our new varnish, the insignia of a Freshie, and a little later we had so far lost our newness that we considered ourselves included whenever anyone spoke of West High. We chose as Sophomore president a courageous man, sagacious and experienced. The honor settled on the shoulders of one of those innumerable Smiths—Lansing Smith, if you please. The grand event that year under his guidance was our Sophomore part)’. The orchestra played, we danced, paired off in twoses, danced again to the jazzy strains of the music, and finally had refreshments. Some dex- terity was required to keep the melting ice cream from dripping down over our whole front, from shirt to shoes, but we decided it was all part of a good Sopho- more party. George IX Forest was our Junior president and during his term we familiarized ourselves with the school, the statuary in the halls, which by the way l� orc evidence of the fact, and became more or less mixed up in athletics. We arc justified in being proud of many all around veterans among us in soccer, track, Iraselwll, and swimming. They have left enviable scores and will long be rememl ered in West High. One of the finest records was that made by the Junior play, “The Rear Car.” A year later it is still remembered as having been the best ever. The actors bid fair to become world renowned and the managing staff will never l c forgotten. It might be noted that Lee was business manager, already winging his way toward the presidency, Thus big nuts from little acorns grow. With all that former experience we felt quite sophisticated and we grandly dis- cussed plans for a bigger and better Senior party. The orchestra was as jazzy as before. Pop and nabiscoes were the refreshments this time. Once more we danced while the orchestra tooted, and then we proclaimed it a splendid success. Ruth Kurtz is to he congratulated on her fine work as chairman. No one knew that our class was to be separated by political strife at the next election. Lee Wing was the hero of the hour and he was swept to victory on a platform that promised to support the common people, lower the tariff, reduce the homework, nlxdish eighth period, and start West High on an era of prosperity. Now that politics are forgotten, all seniors good and true arc working to pro- duce a play designed to excel every other production of its kind—“The Show Off. It is scheduled for December twelfth, and is starred by Herliert Newcomb and managed by Robert Morgan. Well, we are very close to our goal and we are all eager to reach it. The nearer we get. however, the more we hesitate, and we almost feel we would gladly do all the work again, could our gay high school days only come back to us. We, of the class of January 1931, ill never forget West High, and wc fondly hope that West High will sometimes think of the loyal class of January 1931. John Field.

The 1930 baseball team finished in first place in the league having won ten games with the loss of only one. The excellent work of the battery of Kay Brown, pitcher, and Ed Kewin, catcher, brought many victories to West High. They were backed up. however, by the splendid playing of the other members of the team. The team was composed of the following: Quintino Serenati (Captain), Bob Morgan (Manager), Ray Brown, Norman Nelson, Paul Burke, John Yates, Edward Beldue, Walter Drojarsky, Donald Welch. John Conlon. Alex Avcrsano, and Edward Kewin. Twenty-eight Swrrr (Tram The 1930 soccer season saw the continuation of the splendid record set up by the soccer teams of West High. Under the capable leadership of Coach Herb Smith the team won its fourth straight championship and gained (jcrnianent i os- session of the Harvard silver trophy. Much credit for the success of the past season is also due to the excellent management by William Stanat. The members of the 1930 championship aggregation are as follows: goalie, Johnny Yates; fullbacks, Mike Williams and Carl Jones; half lucks, Sid Nichols (Captain), A1 D'Annunzio, John Strozzo and Clark Whited; forwards, Shelly Robertson, Ross Woodbridgc, Phil Mason, A1 Milanetti, Johnny .Yttcrbury, and Ralph Iladsell. • ( jy' Twenty-nine ft 9 9 9 9 OB n 1.

Tliirty-onr A'!' CHRISTMAS NIGHT Distant starlight, Words breathed low, Shining candles. Gleaming snow. Tender memories. Thoughts of a child; Long years ago A mother smiled. Wise men bringing Gifts to her— Frankincense, And gold and myrrh. uPeace on earth. Good will toward men” Knows no beginning, Has no end. —Marion Glidden No wise men are guided by a lumin- ous star as they ride camel-back over the golden sands, no bands of angels garbed in snowy white pluck their golden harps and sing “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” No treasures are laid at the feet of a tiny babe. Only a poignant memory, a sweet legend remains to re- mind us of the first Christmas. But how that legend—even the word “Christmas”—stirs men’s hearts, quick- ens their pulses, and permeates their whole being. Everyone suffuses cheer and joy. Everyone is free with smiles and good will. Every purse is opened. All enemity ceases. Everyone is rev- erent—to a memory. And now the “Occident” opens its pages to breathe to you a “Merry Christ- mas, and God bless you.” Faculty Pini? Pongs and Eats If members of the student lody had been present at the Craig Homestead on the Ridge Road the afternoon and evening of Nnvemlier 13. they would have stared at the antics of the staid faculty. The West High teachers held a social get-together and dinner on that day. The affair has now become an annual event. Those who reached Craig House early en- joyed a strenuous ball game, miniature golf, and ping pong. The hall players drew the largest crowd of onlookers. Mr. Spinning’s team of swinging swatters sadly trimmed Mr. Pickard’s nine, 15 to 39, according to official rallying. Mr. Edwards of the physics depart- ment caught Mr. Spinning’s pitches, when he could reach them. Many of the players on Mr. Pickard’s team claimed that if it bad not liecn tor the umpiring of Mr. Slater of the mechanical drawing department. Unde Jim’s team would have made but three runs. How ever, it is but just to say that the swinging swatters claimed that superiority plus the umpire was the cause of the glorious victory. Paper hats, snappers, and Mr. Spouse’s jokes made the dinner hour one to he remem- bered. After the dinner, bridge, dancing, and ping pong contributed to an enjoyable evening. Miss Frieda Hanf, secretary, defeated all com- ers in the ping jxjng tournament. She was declared champion. When the teachers made ready to depart, it was found that one of the more humorous mcmljcrs of the faculty had hidden all the men's hats. There were still three hats left when the faculty had departed. Mr. Pickard was the amiable and efficient chairman of the partv. Faculty Adviser Has His Say It is with a great deal of satisfaction that the faculty adviser of the Occident comments U|mui the work of the Occident staff during the fall semester. While all members have worked hard, it is but natural that some more than others should stand out as leaders in the effort to give the school a better and bigger Occident. In all sincerity, it can be said that never has the Occidunt been under the leadership of an editor who worked more tirelessly for its suc- cess than during this term under the guidance of Marion Glidden. Marion has given hours of her time to the Occident. Genial, depend- able. and with real initiative and originality, she has more than maintained the high stand- ard of the West High publication. Kolxrrt Robinson lias served most capably in the |K sition of business manager. He has spared neither time nor energy in securing advertising, working out the details of distrib- ution, and in the making of assembly announce- ments. The Occident is most fortunate in hav- ing him serve a second term as business man- ager. It is a pleasure to announce that Ruth •)’Grady, the present associate editor, will lead the Occident as editor during the spring sem- ester. Ruth lias liecn keen for Occident work ever since her connection with the staff. rejiorter and assistant editor she has contrib- uted both material and time to the making of a finer magazine. There is no doubt concern- ing her ability to serve as leader of the school publication, and the student lx d may well expect the Occident to maintain its reputation under her guidance.

Thirty-four A'I'A , Piano Classes To Reorganize Several weeks ago an announcement was made in an assembly program to the effect tlvit Miss Keats, piano teacher, would organize classes for beginning and advanced students in piano. It was learned from this announce- ment that weekly lessons would l� e given for a period of nine weeks. Since that time. Miss Keats’ classes have been progressing steadily and rapidly, doing work, especially in trans- iting. that is quite notable. News comes now that another season of nine weekly lessons will soon begin. an l that Miss Keats would be very glad to consider any new applications for membership into her classes. Ever since last year. Miss Keats has been regularly conducting her classes at West High. The plan of teaching piano by the class meth- od was considered rather a novel undertaking at the time. Under Miss Keats’ dirertion and supervision, however, it has now l e:ome a definitely established method of instruction in Rochester schools. In fact, the idea is grad- ually spreading to other cities throughout the state and country. West High students, quick to realize the value of such a plan, were strong- ly in favor of its adoption here in West High. This favorable attitude was clearly shown by the large registration that has been secured at the beginning of each term, and by the very fine work which was done last year. It must l� e quite evident to West High's students that a new plan, to continue success- fully after it has passed the experimental stage, must have at all times the full supjiort of the large mimlier of music lovers in school. To a teacher who has worked hard for very little j ersonal gain, the school owes the utmost of support and encouragement in the form of larger classes. Miss Keats will lie in West High every Monday during the eighth period, at which time she would lie glad to talk with all those students interested in taking piano lessons by this class method.

ClD Drifting Down the Susquehanna INTERVIEW WITH Mr. BENNKTT BY IftKXE RO BIX SON Several years ago. to Ik. exact in July. 1906. Mr. W illiam Bennett, now esteemed principal of W est High School, accompanied by three adventure seeking young men. started for Sayre, Pennsylvania where they intended to build their own scow, on which they were planning to drift lazily down the Susquehanna River. Besides myself. Mr. Bennett reminisced, there were Mr. Wiliam Betz, Mr. I'letcher Mr. Bennett continues. Equipped with duffle boxes, folding cots, blankets and cook- ing conveniences, we launched our craft on the Susquehanna, to float from there as wind, current and tide might determine. We drifted in the placid current, shot the rapids and ripples, sometimes lying crosswise, or rolling round and round against the weedy banks, and usually brought up 'all standing' against a projecting boulder. Dishes, potatoes. Th Good Ship Sayre Carpenter, and Mr. Charles Harris, all of East High School. We took the train to Sayre, where we stopped for a period of some days and built our scow which was nine feet wide and sixteen feet long, covered with a tent, stretched over a frame. One can imagine them now. as they were enjoying their busy hours on the banks of the river as the sunshine pouring its golden radi- ance through the surrounding dark of the trees. general treatises on mathematics and other articles of virtue were then unscrambled from the boat's end or the bilge space below the floor. “I’jion one occasion the loss of a pitcher full of pancake hatter made with sour milk and spilled under the false floor of the l� al produced speedy results in the sweltering weather of August. When life over it was not longer liearable, the boat was beached, purged and renovated of stern necessity. “The dusk of evening customarily found us T liirt y-six A'I ashore in some quiet wooded island or bay where perchance with the flickering light of gleaming fireflies one could easily vision in the grassy glade surrounded by towering trees the tableau of Corot’s ‘'Dance of the Nymphs. “The night after launching the Ijoat, one end was tide to the hank, while the other end projected into the swift surrent. We sought our cots, in the four corners of the boat, my- self and another sleeping altovc the deep cur- rent. At midnight, 1 awoke anti dropped my hand off the cot and it fell into the water which had risen high in the leaking craft. The other two sleepers were safe enough, tied to the hank, but we were in imminent danger of going down clinging to our cots. We man- ned our life pumps, consisting of wash basins, and labored for dear life. No assistance was granted by the crew at the other end. “Another night these ‘weary Willies' tied their craft to the rocks at the foot of a steep hut precipitous mountain as twilight warned the adventurers of another night. Here they rested for a hit. sitting upon the immense fragments of rock that had tumbled to the river from the face of the mountain. Mr. Bennett's eyes twinkled with exciting remembrance as lie continued. While we were there. I walked down to the water's edge and noticed in a bit of mud. the fresh prim of a large ami confident paw. 1 thought I better say nothing to disturb the rest of the fellows. But as we were gathered around our camp fire that night we heard a fierce scrambling and yowling on the mountain, straight overhead, accompanied by the rattling of dislodged rocks and boulder?, down U|xm our landing place, warned us that something was doing on the mountain. I then told the fellows of my escapade, and in Paul Revere fashion, we silently rowed to the opposite shore where beside fertile fields we slept in peace. The next morning, a call at the little town two miles below was made inteiesting hv two great bears chained to a post in a hotel yard. There were specimens of the mountain inhabitants. Our ornery craft exhibited an intense pre- dilection to strike the edge and then roll clowly along, proving one good turn to deserve on- other. Ten days of this and our brains were so nearly scrambled that even when we stood on shore, the landscape still persisted in most un- seemly rotation. A halt was called for a week of shore camping, and the charms of quietness and steadiness were reinforced by a generous supply of fresh bread, baked beans, apple pies, roast chicken and other farm proluis secured (by a legitimate process) from a kind farmer and his wife hack by the main road Mr. Bennett then concludes these delightful recollections with the simple impersonal para- graph following: But all the pleasure of life must have an end or they would cloy the spirit by monotony. toe month of this Bohemian life completed a drifting journey of one hundred miles to UK- city of Wilkes-Barre. There, tlie baggage packed, the craft itself burned at the water's edge, and four bronzed and happy vagrants took a train for civilization, resuming some sense oi obligation which had been complete!) escaped through halcyon days and t:irlit nights.

Mr. .Singleton, famous soloist of the Arpeako Minstrels, visited the choir recent- ly. He sang for it two of his favorite songs -songs that have made big hits with his radio audience. He commented, before leaving, on the marvelous work of the choir, commending it especially for its large membership, and superior tone quality. Mr. Singleton, in his off-radio hours teaches music classes at the Benjamin Franklin High School. The recent and very successful mid-term hallo ween party that was given by the choir resulted in an easily apparent change. In- stead of the lost look in the eyes of the new freshmen members, one finds now a friendly, happy, and brilliantly shining l« k. and in- stead of an aloof, dignified, sometimes grim look in the eyes of the iipi er-classmen, one sees the same look of congeniality. The choir has recently been having a mini- lier ni well known voice teachers from all over the city as its guests. Mr. Troup fro � -' Monroe High’s music department visited the choir during a fifth jwriod rehearsal on No- vember 13. His remarks as to the high qual- ity of work being done by this organization were most enthusiastic and encouraging. From Charlotte High came Mr. Marsh, wlm is known throughout Rochester as a voice teacher and choir director of considerable ability. His highest praises were for the large number of members, and for the excellent way m which the choir sang “Send Forth Thy Spirit. Miss Eva Wannemaker who teaches the music classes at Monroe High was no less complimentary in her praises when she visited the choir on November 5. The opinions of such experts as these voice teachers show, beyond a doubt, that choir will establish for itself and West High a stand- ard of A'Cappella singing that can be equaled by few other high school choirs. Mr. Lockwood: How should one address the Secretary of the Navy? Ruth O’Grady: “Your Warship. 1 guess. Nowack and Turiano Sing October 31, was a holiday for all public school students of the city it was the day of the teachers’ convention. Ymong the various groups to hold meetings was the group of rural teachers, who held their convention in the large gymnasium at Benjamin Franklin High. The entertainment for this convention included two of West High’s boy soloists, who lately have been receiving con- siderable praise for their admirable work— Herbert Nowack. bass; and Anthony Turiano, tenor. It is quite significant when two young sing ers. who have been studying in voice classes, and who have had little experience in public singing, can do such work as these two boys did a significant fact that brings credit not only to the t� ys for their natural talent and to their teacher. Mr. Sj ouse. who worked with them in preparing their solos, and to Miss Sullivan, their accompanist, but also, in the end. to their school. W est High. Though rural teachers are ordinarily rather severe critics, they joined heartily in applaud- ing these lioys for their work and in voicing their appreciation and pleasure in having them on their program.

Since I dare not question so great an Noah Knew authority I am forced to con His Manners elude that every West High Student has manners. Hut wait, for glancing two lines down the page I find in heavy black letters the word mannerly and after it the adjective polite and the adverb politely. Now I am wondering about us, won- dering if we are really always mannerly. While I was struggling toward the third fiuor this morning 1 heard a girl remark. “These stairs are as packed as a sardine can.” She was right, but the students arc the poorer fish, for who ever heard of. or saw. sardines pushing, jamming, and shrieking their way from the can ? I am still relying on Noah Webster and I find that to be polite one must he courteous and obliging. I think he might well have said, to be polite or mannerly one must think � � f others before he tries to fulfil his own desires. Then I. as a West High student must think of those others attempting to pass in the corridors, ascend the stairs, or reach the lunch room. 1 am merely one of some two thousand who have equal privileges and rights. There is a more serious side to flu question of manners. The largest share of the acci dents in the world are due to thoughtless people. Two students racing from the second or tliinl floor down to first, little realize how easy it is to injure seriously a fellow-student by causing him to fall and perhaps break an arm. or even worse, fracture his skull, lmost anything may happen in West High School localise I and nearly two thousand others neglect to he courteous, obliging, and to think of others at all times. I'orty-fii'c Hill and Dalers Close Successful Year By Ai. Attkkbi ky Running ovtr the summaries of the season's activities one finds that in eight meets in which the hill and dale men competed, Nelson Stevens was beaten to the ta])C hut once, although he did allow his teammates to catch up with him several times, causing triple and quadruple ties to ensue. Lewis Bosworth pushed Nellie in several of these races, hut only succeeded in hitting his best stride in the first meet of the season, forcing Nellie the full two and one-half miles to the ta| e. With machine-like precision, West High’s hill and dalers trimmed all local opposition to |xuind down the home stretch undefeated. For an inex]K!ricnced team this is a notable achieve- ment . The predominating feature of every man on the team seems to he that essential necessity called Fortitude, many of the Imys running a ragged race lmt always finishing strong and well out in front of the pack. The most impressing fact about Mr. White’s new team is that they have won all of their local meets by large margins, showing a flash of fire and determination that carried them a long way. The reserves stood up rather well, predicting another successful team next year and the only blot on the season’s record were the defeats handed them by the very much stronger and superior teams of Geneva High and the R. B. I. West placed well in both meets lmt was rather weak in placing five men over the line. In the Geneva meet, Nelson Steven romped home in the good time of 14 minutes. 13 seconds to lead tlie pack over the tape, hut was weakly supported, thus losing out 29 to 27, low scorer winning; as in cross country meets the first man gets oik |K� iut, second two, etc. George Godfrey, prep school champion, breasted the taj e to a new city mark of 13 minutes. 52 seconds, to beat Nellie Stevens across the line in the R. B. I. meet which West dropped, 19 to 36, ending the losing streak for the year. The Fast High meet was the opener in local cross-country circles and Coach White was not disappointed to see Nellie lead the pack home; closely followed by Lewis Bosworth, and the Mammamo brothers, who placed in the first five to give West a rather one-sided win, 20 to 41. The third meet was hut a rejietilion of the first, Ncls Stevens, Chris Maminamo, Sam Mammamo and Lewis Bosworth crossing the line, hand in hand to take the first four places. West winning to the tune of 19 to 37 with a recorded time of 14 minutes and 38 seconds for all four men. The University Freshmen were somewhat demoralized and surprisingly astonished to see the above four and Sam Captito break the tape, hand in hand in the fast time of 13 minutes, 50 second, to win the meet, 15 to 48. Cook Academy was turned I lack t.i the tune of 15 to 54, placing only one man in the first six. This meet was held at night and was one of the lir.st night meets to he held in this sec- tion of the country. Nellie and Chris Mammamo again rose to heights of glory when they broke the tape hand in hand in the Monroe meet, starting the landslide that completely smothered the Mon- roeites, 18 to 39. This concludes another successful season for the West I ligh harrier-,, who are doomed to in- action until spring when first call for track will he eagerly responded to by all existing mem- bers of Coach White’s squad.

The prospects for this year’s team are materially brightened as each succeeding practice brings forth a wealth of new material so essential to keep West High in the cham- pionship class where it has been for the last five years. Reminiscing through musty old annuals and dusty pigeon-holes, brings forth the facts that in the eight years that West High has tolerated a swimming team. The first three years were not quite blanks, hut they failed to reveal the wealth of swimmers that attended this insti- tution of learning. Not until the Arnett Branch of the V. M. C. A. was erected and the team had some place to practice did West raise its head among the leaders in local aquatic circles. t the same time the “V was built. Coach Roy Benson took the ducklings under his wing and started developing the teams lor which West High is not noted. For five years straight. Roy's teams have swept all local opposition aside and gave a very creditable performance wherever they appeared. This year the mermen face one of the tough- est schedules that any local team has had. The team will he ably supported by a second team which will swim all the smaller local teams and Junior Highs, leaving the tougher and more experienced teams to the regulars upon whom Coach Benson relies. Manager Smith lias already arranged for some twenty-one meets with the prospects of obtaining as many more as time and circumstances will allow. The regulars will tackle the University Freshman at their pool, the Syracuse Freshman, and all local and out-of-town opposition worthy oi their mettle.

It almost seems that West at last has a basketball team that might get some place— at least a 42 to 15 win over Pitts ford, and the Sodus triumph, isn't such a had start for a team that finished third in the race last year. With the two veteran forwards, Ed. Kewin and Sid Nichols, starting the season with scor- ing sprees, Nichols scoring fourteen jxjints in the Pittsford game and Kewin sixteen in the Sodus affair. Coach I lerh Smith has the mak- ings of a high scoring outfit. Coach Smith also has two fine centers, Mike Williams and Del Thompson, and a merry race between the two for first team honors is a certainty. Mike is playing his first year of inter-scholastic basketball, but in the first two games managed to be the first to send the ball through the meshes, while Thompson, a clever defensive man, starred for Madison last year. At the guard positions the blonde terror, Shelly Robertson, a vet of two years and act- ing captain, along with A1 Milanctti, a sub last year, round out a well balanced outfit. West’s reserve strength is exceptionally strong with Tommy Kewin. Clark Whited. Frank Detrinco. Ernie Mambretti, and Frank Cordaro all able to step into a breach at a moment’s notice without a marked change in team play. Several of last year’s stars will be missed, among them Quin Scranati, Ro Milanctti, Vin Black, and Louis Deutsch, but not to such a marked degree as it was at first feared, as a strong aggregation fully able to replace them has been rounded into shape. Every school in the league will show more evenly matched quints than in former years and a close race is assured, five schools, West, East, Franklin, Marshall, and Monroe having an equal chance at the title, although Monroe is a slight favorite. With the advent of Benja- min Franklin into the league, plenty of opposi- tion will be encountered from this source, as the Norton Street students, formerly at East High, have already become noted for some- thing West lacks, school spirit. How about supporting the team this year the way it should be supported? -everybody out to the games—start Friday evening at the Armory and watch the Monroe game, which will have additional flavor as Monroe is rated as the best team in the league. Friday, Janu- ary 9, West plays Charlotte at Marshall; Wed- nesday, January 14. West vs. John Marshall at John Marshall; Friday evening. January 16. West vs. Fast at Armory; Friday evening. January 30, West vs. Benjamin Franklin at Armory; Wednesday, February 4. West vs. Tech at Monroe; Friday, February 6, Bye; Monday.

In case the season ends in a tie, February 27 had been set aside as the date for the play-off. fifty-six Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute TROY, NEW YORK A School of ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE L THE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was established at Troy, New York, in 1824, and is the oldest school of engineering and science in the United States.

BENNETT Three (Dur (Class AiUrisrrs Members of the Class of June 1931 wish to express their sincere thanks for all that Mrs. Elizabeth gnew ami Mr. William Howe have done through four long years. I:our ©ur iJtistimj The ancients carved their record of life on stone, while we moderns choose to m i forth a modest record of four turbulent years in the “Senior Occident.” It is a record that will never go down in the Annuals of West High, however, we prefer to call it memory, not history. A memory which is indelibly imprinted on our minds and will never be effaced in time or storm. When we as freshmen first alighted here. (some of us joined the ranks as sophomores), we were greeted by a pestiferous faculty and seniors. But all these ill impressions have melted away as wc walk across the campus and through the halls, proudly and somewhat boast fully as seniors. The great chasm, freshmen to seniors, the two extremes of a high school career, seemed so far ahead that, we, at times, as freshmen, began to doubt very much the close of our high school career. But today, with the title of senior to our credit, we can look back with a degree of satisfaction over the trail we have traveled. Perhaps wc could have taken a differ- ent route and made life more pleasant, for a time, but nevertheless, wc have arrived at the foothills of life’s journey, and the mountains are still formidable obstacles of the future. But while we feel the glow of pride in achievement, we also express onr gratitude for the wisdom and discretion of our teachers, those who have led our wavering minds, through the years of study and preparation for life: for the books and writers who have enlarged us; for the extremely, sincere, and wc hope, endur- ing friendships. So we have come to the end of four years full of happenings, replete with happy memories; soon we will be flung to the four corners of mother earth, there to eke out an existence. Our books will Ik? forgotten; our memories will live on, the indelible impression of our classmates, teachers, and fellow students will linger on. To our Alma Mater wc owe an everlasting debt of gratitude, and in time, wc shall repay, not in tangible things, but in word and deed. And so we seniors take our place in the universities, in other institutions, in the business world, better fitted for life because of what knowledge we acquired while under the protecting wing of our Alma Mater.

All books bought by this fund must Ik? written by former students of West High. Those of us who were here ten years ago, in 1931. will recognize the fact that the authors of all the new books graduated in June of that year. Mr. Fisher says it gives him great pride to see what his former classmates have done. “I always knew ours was a great class.” he said. 1 hope 1 may inspire the present students of West High to follow our illustrious footsteps.” These are the books: “What 1 Have Meant to Jazz —Lee Fisher. The leader oi the favorite orchestra of the four-hundred tells the story of his rise to fame, and states his view on the art of the dance. “Vibration—that’s what we need,” he says. “From tlu Sahara to the Antarctic”—Tom Armstrong. It seems that ten years ago some one said to Mr. Armstrong. “Pick on some- body your own size.” Mr. Armstrong took the challenge and has been spending the intervening decade searching for the person that would fit this description. Although he has been disappointed in his quest, he has had many strange adven- tures which he records in this lurid volume. “Me and Ruth”—John Yates. This is not a story of a secret passion, but the facts about what Johnnie really did teach the Babe. “The Mail of a Thousand Dimensions -—Albert Fullerton. Mr. Fullerton lias sacrified himself to the cause of knowledge and undergone an explanation of Donald dam's world famous theories on space and light. The question is—which is the greater man? “Why Live?”—Edward Di Prima. Are you seeking a goal? Do you know whither you arc tending? This inspir- ing book is giving thousands of people a Pur| ose in life. Hurry up! -there arc just enough to go around. 1 was Only a Country Lad” Fred Harmon. An inspiring story of an ambitious boy who wanted to get ahead, and so milked cows and churned his lessons in order to graduate. “How To Be Happy”—Bill O’Brien. “If you can’t get what you like, like what you can get,” advises the homespun philosopher. His wisdom is selling at 98c for all you can stand. “Liquid Pleasures”—Howard Swan. Don’t get excited. The l ook is a respectable treatise on boating. “What It Means To Be a Judge's Son”- -William Wilder. An illuminating history which tells the innermost emotions of one in this stale. Most of us are barred from this experience, and so here is the big opportunity to learn. “Esthetic Anesthetics”—Charles Parrincllo. The autlior has tried to combine chemistry and culture since high school days. In spite of obstacles, he lias readied his goal and dedicated his book to Miss Pratt. “Fiddling My Life Away”—John LoVcrdc. This is not a volume of sizzling confessions of a chronic wall-lcaner but the autobiography of a violinist who has squeaked his best since West High days. Thirty-six “Don’t S] cak—Sing!”—Anthony Turiano. In a weak moment the author said that anybody could sing. “If we would speak instead of sing, everybody would brighten up and prosperity would return.” We have our doubts, and anyway wouldn’t wc feel lonesome without our dear old depression ? “The Copernican Nucleus and All That” Paul Smith. ne is told that this is one of the revolutionizing books of the century. It seems that it throws an entirely new light on something. This is a treat for the intellectuals. “The Power of a Name”—Alexander Hamilton. “Of course, you understand. I would have become great even if my name was John Smith,” says the author, “but a really striking name does help natural talents.” “Personality Plus”—Stanley Smith. Have you ever had a gill faint with admiration when you entered the room? If not. you haven’t yet read this startling hook. “Kill or cure,” is the author’s motto. “Arc Girls Worth One’s Time?”—Franklin Harrington. ‘T spent thirty days and nights writing this hook. It’s publication is the ful- fillment of a lifelong ambition. With these touching words the author com- mented on his recent best seller. “Free and Hasy”—Robert Free. ‘T thought the world would like to know how a simple and modest man lives,” is the author’s excuse for writing his autobiography. “A Gentleman's Handbook —Charlie Wickes. A sympathetic guide for those who yearn for that “man-alxmt-town air. which has thrilled the author’s friends for years ami years. “The Emotional Life of a Shakespearean Scholar”—David James. Don’t he frightened away by the title. The gentle soul you sec on the street may he a potential murdered, studying “Macbeth” to get technique. “The Secret of Greatness”—Charles Fiore. “Never hide your personality. Think you arc great, and you will Income great. This is the advice of the famous author. All Wet, or the Art of Becoming a Fish” Willie Smith. Our aquatic hero, who lias led many West High toys, including Wells Simonds. Paul DeAoun and George Koepke to fame and fortune, tells how he broke all the world's records in the recent Olympics at Venice. “Enlarging Your Vocabulary —Don Smith. This is a really startling book. It tells how you may easily astound your friends by a whole set of new words. A very interesting chapter is the one on words expressing surprise, anger, indignation, and fury. The choicest of Mr. Smith’s repertoire are there given. “Logs and Timbers”—William Stanat. “The only way to get into the lumber business is to try to get a log through a block head,” is the firm opinion of the author. Sounds logical. “How I Got To Be President”—Ray White. “I went into politics with clean hands and came out with a million. I got my inspiration when I was elected Vice-President of the Class of June ’31. Good old June '31! Remember the dear old depression?” With these touching words, the great White tells about his first step oil the highway of success. Tliirly-snwn “'riie Art of Speaking”—Alex Fleming. The success of good old Daniel—or was it Noah?- Webster tells how he practiced for his great career while in the sequestered halls of West. Our guess is that his former teachers would lie more than glad to testify to the truth of this statement. Where Men Are Men”—Ray Balxock. “And so Dud Dauntless and Dolly Darling rode away into the golden sunset on faithful Nellie, the old grey mare.” Thus ends this moving talc of the great open spaces. Figure it our for yourself. “It Isn’t Imjiossihle!’’—joe Grassi. The title refers to the question which is much debated in high school circles. “Can yon sell tickets to girls?” Mr. Grassi tells how a magnetic personality can overcome even this obstacle! Small Men Who Have Become Famous —Russell Hanna. Since high school days it has been this author’s ambition to vindicate les petits. The first volume of his monumental work toward this end tells al mt Napoleon and—Russell Hanna. Strange Males 1 Have Known”—Kay Becker. She tells here experiences while big game hunting in Africa, but declares she first encountered strange males in West High School. “Spiders’ —1 lelen Behhle. The author tells the true story of the life of spiders, a keen interest of hers since high school days. “Curls and Their Uses —Thelma Baumann.

Coach Henson’s swimming team lived up to all expectations and brought to West the fifth consecutive championship in swimming. The team come through the season with fourteen victories and only one defeat marked against it. Certainly, this is an enviable record for any team to establish. We arc proud of this meritorious achievement and the team cer- tainly deserves our enthuiastic support. The outstanding feature of the season was the fine work of Smith and Town- send, who had little difficulty in upholding the scoring honors in their respective classes, as well as team honors. The members of the championship team arc: Dc Aoun, Grippo, Krausliaar, Jerry Meyers, Joe Meyers, Tennant, captain; Townsend, Weldgcn, Frazer, Lehman, Smith, manager. Forty-one (£rnss (Eountrij Beginning the season with several veterans from the 1929 team. Coach White’s harriers experienced an unusually successful season. The aggregation won every- one of the nine meets and took first place in the intcrscholastic meet, thereby bring- ing to the West High the fourth consecutive championship in cross country. West su] criority was shown in two meets by having five men cross the finish line together. The feature of the season was the great improvement made by the inexperi- enced runners. Several mcmliers worked up from the mediocre rank early in the season to the championship class at the close of the season. As a most fitting close to a colorful career in track and cross country, Stevens crossed the finish line first in the interscholastic meet and in every meet in which he participated. Considerable credit should he given to C. Mammano. Bosworth. Robinson and S. Mammano, who featured so decisively in defeating the opponents. The champion team consisted of Stevens, captain; Bosworth. C. Mammano. Caputo. Robinson. Harrington. Habersat, Walt Reid, manager. Forty-two IBaaketbaU West has experienced an unusual and interesting basketball season during the past year. It is unique l ccausc of the marked fluctuations in our fortunes, win- ning from some strong teams, yet losing several bitterly contested games to teams below West’s rank. Four of the league contests were lost by a one point margin, while all but one of the victories were scored by a larger margin. Although handi- capped by lack of proper training facilities. Coach Smith's )rangc and lilack tossers made a strong bid for a prominent place in the league throughout the season, and displayed power which made it a strong contender for the champion- ship. The feature of the season was the promising work of several Sophomore and Junior monitors of the squad, who should form the nucleus of a winning team next year. At least, we hope the team will receive totter student support next year. This season goes on record as a very poor on as far as student support and financial conditions are concerned. The meritorious aggregation was composed of the following: 1C. Kewin, Nichols. Robertson. Jones, T. Kewin. Thompson. Pulvino. Milauetli. Hobin, Man- ager. Ed Kewin and Shelly Robertson acted as Co-Captains. Port v-three Hrrstluut At the beginning of the year with several veterans, the outlook for the wrestling team was bright for a successful season. Coach Mulek developed a powerful team which lost only to the unlieatablc Tech aggregation. With two defeats and one tie. the team was successful in winning second place in the inter-scholastic wrest- ling league.

The members of the meritorious aggregation were: Hicker. Lauriccllo, Wagoner, Hadsell, Slovak. Chiavoroli. manager; De Trinco. (S. A. A. CCnnuril Forty-five MABEL HOPE SPINNING AWARD The Occident” takes pleasure in announcing that Marion Glidden, former editor of the Occident”, has been given the Mabel Hope Spinning Award of 1931, for the best effort in creative work in poetry. The group of sonnets appearing on the following page has been deemed by the judging committee, fully worthy of the award. The committee has thought best, however, to withhold the prire in prose for this year, as none of the prose pieces submitted approached the standard believed necessary to win the prire in question, given to promote original and creative work of a high character. The judging committee was made up of the following faculty members: Miss Ruth Crippcn, chairman; Miss Jessie Ray, Mr. R. Sherman Stowcil, Miss Margaret Jacobson, and Mrs. Elizabeth Agnew. Forly-six Sonnets Oh, Sidney, Shakespeare, Milton, Keats,— all those ll’ho have found beauty in the charm of words, Will not your souls uprise like soaring birds And szeoop upon the little minds that close ) our spirits' freedom in a rigid cage Who classify your phrases, and delight In close conjecture on what made you write That special word on such and such a page Tour dozen upon their heads your golden song. Surround them zvith the beauty of your art. And from its Icz’d mind set free each heart! Then will they repent their deeds, and long To burn their sober books in leaping fire, To drozen thcmseh’es in magic from your lyre! On Dit They say lo:r dies, although zee two alone Can find bright beauty on this weary earth, And spend our happy days with szeift-zeinged mirth, Reaping the fields where seeds of joy are sown. Although for us the flame of love burns high. Although for us a silence lingering Over our thoughts can speak aloud and sing; The others say that our loz'e too must d e When angry words can keep our souls apart. Il-rhen joy has vanished from your eager heart And bitterness has stained your eyes with gloom, When I forget your voice in this still room; Then zee at last shall mourn loir's I rugit end.

That zee again onr love renew, and live Within a shining timer until tile end Of this our mortal life. We shall ‘withstand The bitterness of age.—dwell in the land Of Beauty, Truth, and Wisdom, dearest friend; There shall we find the kingdom of the blest. Calm after storm, and after trouble rest. fV Apples of Gold By Marion Glidden THOUSANDS of years ago Solomon said, A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” He, through the grace of God. and a long life made wise by many wives and children, spoke the truth. Words possess beauty and power. They add to our enjoyment to an extent which can hardly be overestimated. Something lovely burdened with an ugly name must inevitably lose something of its loveliness. On the other hand, an every-day hap- pening described by a lively, unusual phrase gains a glamor which makes it seem exciting and strange. ‘A rose 1 any other name would smell as sweet”, hut it would never he celebrated by poets of all ages as the symbol of beauty; and who can tell in what dusty neglect the moon would languish if its name did not rhyme with June? Words arc not only lovely; they are powerful as well. Disraeli, who was both an author and a statesman, said: “W ith words we govern men.” An orator who realizes the value of words can influence thousands of people. In “Julius Caesar,” Shakespeare shows that a man like Mark Cntony can hold a turbulent mob in his power, simply by talking. Lincoln maintained the people’s confidence in the Union by his simple and j otem speeches when the fate of a nation quivered in the balance. Why is a hall almost invariably filled when a well-known poet or author speaks in it? It is merely a manifestation of age-old reverence and wonder before one who possesses the power to use words fittingly. In ancient times a poet was regarded as a sacred being. iqH n whom the gods had lx stowed a special gift. We still feel that awe when we become breathless before a phrase which leads us into “realms of gold.” Words are powerful, regardless of the language to which they belong. How much more powerful then must be those in the English language, which no modern tongue can surpass in richness and grace? The heir of Greek, Latin, and Anglo- Saxon. and the recipient of new words from many more languages, it is unequalled in the scope of its possibilities. Since the Renaissance the amount of great litera- ture written in English has been unapproached by the products of foreign writers, Shakespeare. Milton. Coleridge. Wordsworth, Shelley. Keats. Byron, Tennyson. Browning. Poe. Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, John Masefield. Edwin rlington Robinson. Edna St. Vincent Millay—these and many more have used our everyday speech, and by their instinct for the best words in their best order”—which is Coleridge’s definition of jtoelry- have turned it into something powerful and beautiful. But it was Shakespeare himself who said, Words without thottijhls Never to heaven go” and the fact that a word is fitly spoken” puts it into the picture of silver” which is half its charm. “Excellent speech beeonicth not a fool” because it has nothing behind it. Great jx eiry and prose read by little or ignorant minds is as productive as a seed sown upon a barren rock. It does not live until it is quick- ened by a sympathetic reader, who can bring out its color and music in all their beauty. All the senses become lost in the faculty of hearing.

Words can flash and sing, shine, glow, mourn, rejoice, grieve, exult. They can make us feel the terrible monotony of life—they can make us feel anything. And yet. in spite of the great past. the great present, and the j erhaps still greater future of the English language, a few stereotyped phrases seem to be the limit of the average person’s conversational powers. He trudges again and again over the same sterile little plot, when all the tropic luxuriance and unex plored loveliness of the language lie before him.

It has always been the privilege of the faculty adviser to throw bouquets or bricks in the last issue. This he likes to do. I cm honestly say that in the vear I have r r w been connected with the Occident. I h„ve never found more earnest, willing, and responsibil- ity-accepting workers. Each and all have buckled into their jobs with enthusiasm. Naturally there are some who deserve more credit than others. The two editors this year have been and are modest, extremely good looking, hard working young Indies. Marion Chidden, editor during the fall term, accepted the responsibility of leadership with a zest that promised well for the West High pajier. Never has there been a more dependable person at the helm. With her capacity for hard work, she combined a real gift for original poetry and creative prose. In the graduation of Marion (hidden, the Occident sustains a real loss. Ruth O’Grady, this term’s editor, is a very unassuming young jierson, but one who lias been absolutely reliable at all times. Her good humored smile and whole-hearted efforts have made the Occident a success. The finances of the Occident have been car ried through successfully. In spite of the bust ness depression, your school paper lias n« t lost money. Robert Robinson has served all this year as business manager and lias shown un- usual ability. He has also found time to con- tribute to the columns of the Occident. It is a pleasure to announce that Bob will head the staff next fall as editor-in-chief. I must comment also on the excellent work of Kay Becker, who served as associate editor during the spring term. Paul Smith has proved a very resjmiisible assistant business manager. He will assume the financial leadership in the fall. The work of Frances Etheridge, W illie Smith and Mary Pronto lias liccn most com- mendable. Next year promises to be a banner one for your school publication. C. Raymond Naramokk. Track Men Working Hard While skiing and tobogganing were holding sway over all the students of West.

The first time lie ran the 200-yard hurdles in conqietetition lie came within one second of breaking the interscho- lastic record. Coach” Smith predicts a new record will be made by him. Kraushaar, the shot heaver, is also a person to be watched. His first throw in co� t| etition was 33 feet, gradually he has worked it up to 39 feet. Perhaps there is another record hang- ing by a thread. The following men comprise the 1931 team: Stevens, quarter mile; Boswortli, mile; Fish- er. broad jump; Parrini, 100 yd.; Denny, 220 yd.; Cooper, hurdles; Klemni, hurdles; Cole, pole vault; Richardson, pole vault; Kraushaar, shot put ; Reid, half mile: Mamiano. half mile; Hotting, high jump; Dunn, high jump. •V fly- three Portable Typewriters All Makes Sold — Rented Office Appliance Shop 136 East Ave. Phone, Stone 853 ANNOUNCEMENT WOODLAND STUDIO New Location, 178 Lake Avenue School of Dancing.

The Occidental team lias heen picked, the j ositions assigned, and the whole outfit is now in action. )nc cannot judge by the first or second game of the sea- son whether the team will come through or not. What the Orange and lilaek is made of was not clearly exhibited in the initial frays, hut if one should visit any practice session of the nine he could see that the old zip and pepper of the former teams has hcen handed down to this year's squad. From two-thirty until four o’clock every day. the West lx� ys practice diligently. Cole, tlie first baseman, who has just broken into the limelight this year, has proved himself worthy of his position. Aversano was with the team last year chasing flies, but has showed that he can handle second base just as well. Johnny Yates, a veteran left over from last year, proved that he can play short with little or no difficulty at all. Jack Coition, another veteran irotn last year took third liase as his herth this year ami so far the hot corner is in his undisputed posses- sion. Shelly Robertson, a rookie to baseball, has been placed in the garden. Phil Mason has procured a herth in the garden and much is expected from him during this season both hitting and fielding. Selito, another rookie, is to he stationed in the field and showed his ability to be that of a veteran. Kcwin needs no introduction as all West knows how be snares the hot ones.

Throws Party aried colored balloons were susjiended from the ccliing in clusters, and paper stream- ers hung down from the baskets and the apparatus. The wire framework around the lights had l een decorated with crepe paper and arc light was a different color. Tables and chairs were placed around the room. Thus, the gymnasium had been transformed into a miniature night club in preparation for th • spring G. A. A. party. Never before has such preparations been made. Twice a year, a party is held in the gym. one in the fall to greet newcomers and one in the spring to elect officers and to consider such business as may have been brought up by the Council. On May 1. at two-thirty, tlic girls began t gather in the locker room, and the gymnasium door was ojKMied. allowing them to enter. Betty Paddon and Marguerite Fellows pro- vided music and soon about 125 girls were dancing to the latest song hits. The business meeting was called to order at three o'clock for the election of the officers for next year. The results of the voting are as follows: president. Prances Di Ponzio; vice- president, Dorothy Miller; secretary, Clara C’rary; assistant secretary. Helen Fogarty; sophomore representative, Marion Roberts. 'fhe advisory council, composed of the two gymnasium teachers and the girls' adviser, ap- pointed the following siKirt managers: tap dancing. Harriet Bebble; swimming, Helen Bird; bascl all and soccer. Adelaide Gravclin; “Occident” reporter, Mary Pronto. After the meeting, refreshments were served to the various tables by waitresses. Pop. ice cream and cookies were received most grate- fully by everyone. While eating. Fannie Kibaudo entertained by singing several popu lar selections. Then F.lizabeth Knapp, dressed in costume, did a tap dancing and singing specialty. At five o’clock, the guests left what they all agreed was the most interesting and enjoyable party in our gymnasium. In the Swim long with the spring season and the prox- imity of summer comes an added interest in swimming. ll three classes have increased in number and activity. Next Thursday the annual swimming meet will he held. Fast year the Council initiated a plan by which any per- son may enter the swimming meet whether or not she is a regular memlicr of any of the classes. If anyone is interested in this meet, please inform Helen Bird or any other mem- ber of the Council. Many good swimmers have joined. Recently a record lxxtrd similar to the lmys was placed inside the show case in the lower corridor. On this l ard are placed the winners of the sjKjrt competitions, and the annual gym- nasiuni meet. It is hoj ed that this will be observed by the girls and will take the place of the silver cup which was previously inscribed with the name of the class winning the gymnasium meet. It was decided that the announcement hoard would be better appre ciated because it will be kept where everyone can see it.

West High’s voice classes meet under the leadership of Ixtth Mr. Spouse and Miss Hogan. Students in these classes learn how to sing artistically and intelligently. Interested parents once a year have the opportunity to observe the work which has Iteen accomplished. This opportunity is given in the form of a recital of vocal solos in which all advanced students and a few selected beginners sing lx fore their {«irents. This year the recital took place May 15. in the Music Room. A demonstration of the daily class exercises preceded the individual ix r- formances. Some very outstanding singing was heard. The audience showed its apprecia- tion and approval by its vigorous applause. Considerable credit is due not only the soloists, but also to Mr. Sjxtuse and Miss Hogan for their work in preparing the singers. Every year at this time. West High’s Choir looks eagerly forward to giving one of its finest performances of the entire year—its Annual Spring Concert. 'Phis year’s concert, which will be held Fri- day evening, June 5. is to lx quite a bit differ- ent from former concerts. It is to be an inter- national concert, made up of selections by com- posers of various countries and altout various types of people. The program will include a group of Scotch numbers, a group of Welsh numbers, one of Russian nnmlxTs, another of Negro spirituals, and finally a group of typical American folk tunes. The soloists for the concert will be: Helen Maddock, soprano; Antltony Turiano, tenor; and Herbert Nowack, baritone. Mr. Spouse and the choir niemtxTs can promise a most delightful evening.
