QEIaSE Janitor? By ROBERT T. SUDDENDORF i: 'VERY man who has ever lived and whose name is remembered ,- among men had some mission in this world, some for good, some for bad. For example. Julius Carsar. His was the mission to make Rome a world power with himself at the h head; Napoleon had a similar one with France and himself the center of attraction Bismarck of Germany, had a mission desiring to make that country world famous and his name remembered and spoken about forever. while Gladstone, the greatest statesman, had a somewhat similar plan mapped out for England And so it was that we too had a mission and 21. desire for knowledge and education which we know is today the ruling power of the world and to be devoid of it we are but littic hotter than the savages of old or the heathen of today. In conclusion, education is the unseen power that is making the earth turn round, making the world brighter and more hopeful to live in and lastly the absolute, universal necessity for the proper up- huilding of mankind. HAnd then the whining sr-hnnlhoy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwiilingly to school.u hShalmspL-arg. Page Thirty To satiate that desire for knowledge which for various reasons We were unable to entertain at day we entered West Night High School in Sep- tember, 1913. Many of us, however, did not enter this school as Freshmen hut joined the class later, having spent the Erst year in other schools, among them being Hughes High School, Washington and East Night High. Due to this, Our history for the first year, as. a general one is vague and devoid of incidents particularly of value to the class. Each one of us had our own little experiences during the first year which will remain in our memories foreveri Our studies were Algebra, English, Physical Geography and either Latin, German or Spanish. While it seemed to us that very littie was accomplished still this was the foundation on whiph our success in later years depended. The second year found us in the New West Night School and also some new faces among us to take the place of those few whu had dropped out. With the exception of Plane Geometry and Ancient and Mcdiavval History our subjects were as the year previous. Many of us hadinuw come to the stage Where ue imagined we could speak Spanish and German very fluently, but very soon we discnvered that we were deceived, The class was divided in rooms QQ-t and 227, both of which organized clubs to promote fellowship among us.

CLASS HISTORY-Continued As Juniors, our history becomes far more interesting than the years before. VVO had an entirely new study which was quite a barrier for all. One guess. Youire right It was Physics. But the experimental work in the laboratory inereasnd our desire to master this subject, and all readily agreed that this was by far the most interesting subject we have had Along with this came our regular studies previously mentioned. A class club was organized of both classes and proved very forcibly that the social Spirit of the class was not dampened by hard and faithful study. The Seniors tendered a reception to us at the Christ Church Parish House and We reciprocated with one at the School. They both were indeed delightful and the two classes proved most congenial. At the A-B reception, ten- cent articles were given to every one present and many of us Were seen with dolls, small baby buggies, stuffed dogs, horns and other nonsensical trinkets, Before the B-A reception the West Night Banner was given to us and then Xi :- began to fully realize that we wrrv Seniors. As we trod up the broad stairway 0f the schoul that following Sep- tember, our hearts thrilled within us and we came with the determination to make the last year the best of those passed hero. Clarence Latscha, Miss Irene Silbersack and Harvey Hill were elected Editor, Associate Editor and Business Manager respectively of both the Voice and the :XNN'CAL. It is needless to say that this year's Voice is the best that the school has evrr had and the Editor. his assistants and the ttStan , drwrvo great credit. Likewise the West Night Debating Team, Composed of Lester Hilpp, Captain, Miss VVuest, Bernard Hirschhorn and Robert Suddendorf, are to he COmmended for the excellent debate with 'Wcmdward High Schooli We have also had formed this year one of the best and most enthusiastic class clubs with Jack Desmond as President, Miss Millt'r, Vir-vePresident; Miss Amann, Treasurer, and Miss lluhlhauser, Secretary. The club has had many enjoyable evenings combined with some educational programs. And now gentle reader, there remains naught except the AXXUAL twhich we know will be superior to any published beforel and graduation. We do not want to give you the idea that iw arr- egotistical far we are aware that we owe in a great measure the success achieved to our teachers. who toiled unceasingly and patiently to help us accomplish our work and we take this opportunity of expressing our sincerest. gratitude. The delightful four years spent at dear old West Night will always remain in our memory and the friendship and companionship we have acquired will live fnrevrri Our work is ended here, VVH move out into the world to conquer new things in husiness and industrial development, But no matter where we go or what wr- do, let us do it rightly and willingly and work as faithfully and as eEiciently in the future as we have in the past. Then, later 011- who knows? Page Thirly-onz
