BAUER, Assistant Principal FRANKLIN SMITH, Literary Adviser FOREWORD E HEREBY present the 1918 ANNUAL of West Night High School to the kindly keeping and tender care of the friendly reader. This being largely a record of the class of 18, the staff has endeavored to bind herein as many of the memories and as much of their Alma Mater as can be put between the covers of a book. We ask the Class members to take it with them as their ttWest Night High Schooltt reduced to portable dimensions and trust that, in future years, this ANNUAL may be an appropriate reminder of the evenings spent at West Night after many a hard days work. Whatever success may be ascribed to the undertaking should be placed where it belongs, to the credit: of the Hstaff, the faculty, and the student body for their interest and support. uum-wuuuwwu m w-a-w-mmmmumum-uuummmmmmmmm in mm m unm- mnnm mum mum-mmuumnm W n umnum mmm-m-m mm o. m BOARD OF EDUCATION City of Cincinnati J.

Mr. Abel is one of our brightest scholars, and a happy future is in store for him. He graduates from both Hughes High School and West Night this year. HELEN BAECHL Modesty often gains more than pride. Seldom in our every-day life do we meet with girls of the type of Helen. Her gen- tle ways and kindly smile made her- liked by all who knew her. JOSEPH BALBACH A noble aim faithfully kept is a noble deed. Here is another of our ambitious students who excells in Latin. Balbach is popular with all his fellow students. 16 NORBERT BERGMAN uWe rise by the things that are under our feet; Am! the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. Bergman is a very ambitious student. Besides his regular work he takes chemistry and is very regular in his attendance. The students like him because of his good nature. ALBERT BOWLING The 'rule of my life is to make business a pleasure Mid pleasure my business. Besides being class president, Mr. Bowling was also circulating manager of the Voice. N0 task was ever too hard for him to undertake if it was for the Voice or the school. H. W. BUCHMAN the heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden fiighi; But they, white their companions slepi, W are tailing upward in the night. , Buchman is a quiet, unassuming fellow. He seemed to live in a world of his own, attending strictly to his own business. 17 ESTELL EBEL The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause. Miss Ebel could always be fmind among those having the highest averages in her class. She made an excellent assistant editor for the Evening School Voice? GEORGE FEILER Do well thy work, it shall succeed In thine or in anoihefs clay; Ami if denied the victofs meed, Thou shalt not lack the toilefs pay. Mr. Feiler has proved his sterling worth and has won a place among us. Our best wishes attend him. ELVERA FISCHER She has two eyes so soft. and brown, Take care! She gives a side glance and looks down, Beware! Beware! Trust her not, she is fooling thee. Miss Fischer is a good scholar and is liked by all her classmates. 18 JOHN FRICKER tJale t He's a clever young student Both witty and prudent, His motto is, forsooth, True love never did run smooth. Jacks chief pleasure lies in taking walks tall aloneiU, and studying the freaks of nature. He is a good student. We attribute his scholastic achievements to the fact that he pores over his books even during recitation. HUGO HALLER ttTrue to his work, his words and friends? - Here is a young man who has been very active in school affairs. Mr. Haller was one of our best football players and vice-president of the class. He was con- genial With his classmates and also popular- With the girls. WALTER HOFFMAN For the love of laughter, hinder not the humor of his designs. Hoffman delighted in mischief and tried to entertain the class with his ukulele. He was very regular in attendance. 19 PAUL HOLDT HThe secret of success is constancy. Mr. Holdt is a quiet, reserved youth who is very good at all his studies. He is to be complimented upon his attendance at West Night after farming all day. FRANK IBER uCalm, cool, collected, surely he will rise in the world. Mr. Iber is a very serious-minded student. He is very successful in all his studies and made a. very good class editor. CLARENCE KRAUS Deep in the man sits fast his fate To mould his fortunes small or great. But in this case we consider only the latter alternative. If Mr. Kraus does his work in the future as well as he has in the past we shall not be disappointed. 20 ABRAHAM KRUSKAL Men do less than they ought, unless they do all they can. Kruskal was a very bright student. He was especially good in Latin, and tuck his work at West Night seriously. IRENE LAMMERS U find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. Irene showed a constant attentiveness to study' Her diligence should bring to her every reward in return for painstaking effort. IRWIN LEIBSCHUTZ All the hearts of men were softened By the pathos of his music. Irwin was rather a quiet student and member of the orchestra. He is master of his Violin and the class wishes him success in his career. 21 CHRIST LOEB For he by Geometric scale Could take the size of pois of ale; And wisely tell the hour If day, The clock doth strike by Algebra. Mr. Loeb is a quiet student Who excels in mathematics. He won many friends at school by his pleasant disposition. ALBERT LUEBKE Tis good will makes intelligence? By his cordiality A1 has made many friends at school. He was interested in the welfare of the school and took an active part in the school activities. ANNA MUELLER lThere is nothing more kingly than kindness, There is nothing more royal than truth. Anna was one of the most interesting and interested girls of the senior class. She was very much interested in her studies and could be found working almost every evening before school. 22 GEORGE MUTH Wise 1'0 resolve and patient to perform. We might call George one of our rising young men. After being business manager of the Voice for some time, he was asked to take the editorship upon the departure of Mr. Pandorf. He has made a very good editor and his work on the Voice does not interfere with his studies. ELSIE NUNNEKER iiA sweeter girl I have yet to meet. Elsie is a serious student. It has been a pleasure to have her in our midst for the past two years. She is not only a star in solid geometry, but is taking three years Spanish in one. The members of the senior class are proud to have her With them. VICTOR PANDORF tgWhen a deed is done for freedom, Through the broad earthis aching breast Runs a thrill of joy prophetic, Trembling cm from east to u-es-tf, Mr. Pandorf was editor-in-chief of the Evening School Voice, to which he devot- ed a great deal of his time. But unfortunately he could not be with us the entire year, as he was called to the colors in March; 23 CHARLES HODGES PICHEL The only way to shine, even in this false world, is to be modest and mzozssuwring.n Mr. Pichel Will be remembered by his classmates for his pleasant smile. He was a studious young man and took his work seriously. ELLA REIK All are architects of fate, Working on the walls of time; Same with massive deeds and great, Same. with ornaments of rhyme. Miss Reik was editor of the poetry circle. A sweeter, better natural girl than Ella does not exist. Her friendly ways and jolly disposition have made her a favorite with all. RUBY SCHAEN Our greatest glory consists, 'not in never falling, but 1'71. rising every time we fail'l.n tMiss Schaefs quiet voice and kindly smile will ever be remembered by her class- ma es. 24 FLORIAN SCHMI DT As charming was this MU? mm'u', As were the melodies she played. Miss Schmidt has enkindled a feeling within us Which Will not soon be extin- guished. Miss Schmidt was secretary of the class. As editor of Feminine Chatter, she gave us some very interesting material for the Voice. THERESSA SENTEFF An investment in knowledge always pays Lhe best interest? Here is a studious and hard working young lady Who shines in her lessons. Miss Senteff is one of the brightest girls in our class and this, coupled With her friendliness, makes her an ideal classmate. RAYMOND STEINER Good. things often come in small packages. In Ray we have an ambitious spirit. Besides his regular studies, he studies chem- istry and shows his genius in the laboratory. 25 HENRY STROBEL He does well who does his best. Strobel is devoted to athletics. He was not only a football player, but also plays tennis. He is class treasurer and has for a short time been business manager of the Voice. ROSALIE SUNDERMAN Blessing she is, God made her so, And deeds of week-day holiness, Fall from her noiseless :13 the snow. Rose is like the flower of her name, and as much welcomed to our class as are the hrst rosebuds of June. She was. always friendly and ready to help her classmates. SARAH THORNTON hStillest streams of water, greenest meadows; and the bird that fiufters least 'is longest cm the wing In lessons, studious, and in manners, mild, Miss Thornton is as gentle as a zephyr blowing beneath the Violets. 26 GERHARD TREFZGAR I f he be not fellow with. the best kings, thou shalt Jinn? him ever the Icing of best fellows. Mr. Trefzgar is an all round good student. He is interested in all class activities and was very successful as chairman of the dance committee. His friends will always remember him for his good will and cordiality. MARY TRICE ll Her voice theylll always know, Her face they'll always see; Therels naught so much in life so sweet As such a memory. Everyone enjoyed hearing Miss Trice read as her voice was very soft and clear. Mary was selected for class prophetess. EDNA WERNER Nam knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise? Although Miss Werner was Personal editor for the llVoicel, she was a general favorite. She could always be depended upon to attend all the school functions and even the staff meetings. LUELLA ZINK Happy am I, from care Fm free Why aren't they all cemented like me?n Miss Zink is a girl who believes in looking upon the bright side of life. Also Graduated: GEORGE E.

E, the class of 18, desire to recall the incidents Which in our four years at West Night High have been firmly impressed in our memories. We have sought knowledge and by perseverance we have gained it. Our social activities are events which we shall always cherish. And friends, who shall not appreciate the value of a friend, and we have indeed made many friends here at school. Teachers and pupils establish that bond of friendship which we prize for all time. itBlessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of Godts best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of ones self and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another? Thoman Hughes. On a September evening, 1914, we began our career at West Night. We were a group of eager Freshmen assembled in the halls. searching for our respective classrooms. This was the hrst year night school was held at Hughes, and by the size of the freshman class, a great many took advantage of the opportunity of obtaining a high school education. We were soon initiated into the various classes, our subjects comprising English, phySical geography, algebra, and either Latin, Spanish or Ger- man. This yeartwas especially remembered by its minstrel show, the freshman entertainment, and our introduction to the Evening School Voice. I291 CLASS HISTORY 1917? 191 8 By FLORIAN SCHMIDT . .m muunmmmmmmm dammummmmuu-uu-mw mu .. .' my mum H mm: o.- The following year a class club was organized. Our studies this year consisted of geometry, ancient history, English and a foreign language. Our interest in the school activities increased and we presided at the dances, football games and entertain- ments. The following September we entered West Night realizing we were reaching our goal, KiGreduation. Did we work during that year? Indeed we did. It was surprising to see how many students have discontinued their studies, but we were con- tinually welcoming new ones, Who entered into the spirit of the class. Our studies were not easy; geometry, American history and civics, the most dimcult. One thing seemed to de- light everyone, a fwe-year course was introduced, and by this physics and chemistry were not compulsory in the junior year. As usual, we organized a class club, and elected our editor, business manager and associate editor for the coming year. They were respectively, Victor Pandorf, George Muth and Estelle Ebel. Everyone remembers the overwhelming number of officers and committees appointed to take charge of the Evening School Voice. We were beginning to realize it meant work, and effort. The Seniors tendered us a reception in the gymnasium and everyone had a jolly time. In April we gave the graduating CLASS HISTORY-Continued class a farewell reception, and looked forward to the following September when we should be Seniors. During the summer months we had quite a number of staff meetings at the homes of various members, for the purpose of planning the work of the following year, and to enable the stu- dents to become better acquainted. September came at last, and owing to the large decrease of members, it was necessary to combine the two Junior classes of the previous year. The Senior Class Club was organized with Albert Bowling as president; Hugo Haller, Vice-president; Florian Schmidt, secretary; and Henry Strobel, treasurer. Our meetings were mostly taken up with business matters. We realized that the amount of time lost during the severe winter and prevailing conditions, made our outlook very serious. In December we entertained the junior class with a reception. Finally the seriousness of the position in which we found our- selves dawned upon the class. Victor Pandorf, the editor of the Voice left school to serve Uncle Sam. The class and staff were indeed proud of him, and knew he would succeed as a soldier, as he had succeeded at school. We lost quite a few men during the past year and on April 3d a Service Flag was presented to the school bearing thirty-seven stars. This year witnessed the organization of a school orchestra, and a school song was written by Mr. Smith, and we being under his instruc- tion feel justly proud of our teacher and adviser. Needless to say, Mr. Siehl realized how we should have to work, and both he and our teachers have co-operated with us in everything we undertook. We have almost completed our work here. The great future lies before us; the world needs our assistance, and those of' us who can not fight for Liberty and Freedom must contribute our knowledge, strength and youth. It is our day, and our work is just beginning; we look to you, Flag of Old Glory, with shining eyes and hearts flaming with pride, as we say, ttWe sacrifice with willing spirit all that is in our power to contribute.

What has happened to you since I saw you last? We haven't met since just after we left West Night High, have we? Thatls about ten years, isnlt itiw ttFifteen, to be exactf replied Heller. uThat long? Well, sit down and well talk over old times. I had just been reading about our classmates when my blunder- ing butler interrupted me. Little did I think that one of the 18 class would drop in. A cigar?en0w, tell me, what are you doing? Where do you call home and hows your success? ttOne question at a time. Remember I cant relate history well, but I will try to answer you. First of all I have only one night here and finding that you had bachelor quarters I thought I would try to renew old times myself. Next Iim on my way back to Old New York from out West.

Well, old man, I Wish you success but as you know I prefer the quiet of bachelorhood. i311 A slow the was burning in the grate, just enough to drive L HWhat became of Bowling? Youtve been here in town most of the time and ought to know. Remember how he used to talk to us in class meetings? Fine president, he? HBowling? Lets see, hets-Just a minute, though, I have a book of clippings here telling about almost everyone of the class. Itve been gathering the pieces from the different papers for about a year past. Hereis one about Bowling. Hets presi- dent of a bank now. From Office Boy to President Loro, N. J .eAlbert Bowling, president of the Dime Savings Bank, began his lifeis work as oilice boy. This bank was re- cently incorporated with a capital of $100.00, of which Mr. Bowling is said to be a heavy stockholder. Nearly all the members of the class are pretty well scattered now. It seems that Holdt and I are the only ones left here in Cincinnati. Heres a picture of his chicken farm just out of town. His rooster fights have won favor among youngsters around his place and his flocks of chickens have won prizes at county fairs all over the United States. ttGood for Holdt. Hels keeping the old industries alive. ttHerels the book. Look it over. Turn about halfway. I dontt think the first part will interest you any. Already inLerested, Haller took only a moment to comply and the minutes flew as the two men read and talked.

Fricker won the case for her and Miss Saymuch now has $50,000 to her credit instead of Mr. Doolittle as a husband. Itls interesting to watch the different careers. Of course you heard of Pannyjs famef' interrupted Feiler. . Yes, Pandorfts a general now. It was easy to keep up with hlm. Was rather successful during the war With the Germans.

The two men sat watching the dying fire while their thoughts went back over fifteen years to the time When they Were together in West Night High. l34J l35f T was four years ago that we entered Dear Old West Night in our freshman year, And our thoughts. for that time were all centered On our work and the tasks that were near. But we dreamed of that time in the future, When our lessons and work should be past, And we all should have gathered together As the ttGrad? 0f the 18 class. . . ,. . L2 numuiwflt' m K- :7 . I II 5? WI Then as sophomores, juniors and seniors Our best efforts were crowned with success, For we tried to leave each class with honors To reward us for our faithfulness. Yet our pleasures were surely not lacking, Our receptions we highly enjoyed; In debating, and football and dancing Was the most of our leisure employed. But as now we are leaving dear West Night And our thoughts wander back 0,91 the past, We are conscious our time here was spent right And are sorry this year is the last. But wherever our future may lead us And whatever we're given to do, W611 apply What our study has taught us And be proud of the work when its through. ELLA REIK. 0 man knows what it is to enjoy health to its fullest extent until he is sick. No man knows what it is to have a robust constitution and to have the use of all his powers until he is a cripple and a weakling. Neither does he enjoy nature as he should until it is taken from him and he is left on a desert with not a tree or even a blade of grass in sight. No man knows the meaning of a home, or the love of a father and of a mother, until he is taken from them and placed on foreign soil where everybody is a stranger to him, where an unknown language is spoken and where different customs prevail. The young people do not fully realize what their school days mean to them until those days are gone into that part of our life which is expressed by the one word, ttPast. In the same way a nation does not know the blessedness of peace, until war with all its awful sufferings and destruction overruns the country and devours the people and their works as a tiger devours his prey. N0 better description can be given to the time of war than the one which some old philosopher of the past handed down to us and which reads, When war breaks over the land, the days of peace and slumberous calm are tied. Never did a nation open its doors to war without suifering for it. Like a released storm war wields his mighty sword over the land that was opened for him to enter, and in a short time has destroyed buildings and monuments which it took centuries to construct. Cities and villages are trampled in the dust, and their riches fall as spoil and plunder t0 the enemy. I 36 l The people who manage to escape from the carnage, wander aimlessly about and rely for their nourishment on the generosity of those more fortunate than they and who still have their homes left. During wartime, the crops in the helds of the invaded country are left to perish, metals and other minerals are left in the mountains to be mined at some future date, business plants in the towns and cities are closed down while the men go forth to the front to hinder the enemy in their work of destruction and slaughter. But this devastation of a country, this hindering of a com- merce of a nation, this homelessness of its people is not the sad- dest work of war. Far more terrible than this is the undermin- ing of the spiritual work of a nation. The studies of some of the worldis greatest philosophers and scientists, which were the scenes of restless activity before, are new empty waiting, per- haps in vain, for their occupants to come back from the trenches and blood-soaked battlefields of some foreign country. The chisel is lying Where it was left by the sculptor and the brush is lying beside the unfinished canvas of the artist. Everything is untouched, with little hope of ever being completed, while the workers are away at the front. The buildings which were erec- ted ages ago by our ancestors are wrecked by the cannon. The books which were written by ancient philosophers, historians and scientists are burned, and the source from which we get most of our knowledge of ancient days is destroyed and taken from us. i 37 l We can not live without peace any more than we can live without air. We hardly know there is air about us; but nothing betrays its absence or impurity so quickly. But the country which is at war is not the only one stricken with its horrors. The other half of the world across the ocean also suffers. There thousands of people are out of positions because that country can not export its products, knowing that the vessels would probably be blown to pieces by an ocean mine or a suhmarine. But this is not all the harm done to a neutral country, there are many other happenings which cause the neu- tral country also to suffer from war carried on in a foreign one. But over and against all this devastation of a country during times of war there grows within us a greater hope for that time to come when peace will again rule the world. The sudden and complete extinction of a national conHagration of unparalleled magnitude has within it something that is sublime. The war of the battles has ceased; armies return to their native land and are again dissolved; squadrons that shook the continent are distributed through shops, upon farms and on all the ways of commerce. The suddenness of the beginning of the war has no parallel, except in the suddenness of its close. It opened with a sweep of lire, wide and rushing, like autumnal burnings on the prairie. It closed as when equinoctial storms poured down on the confiagration, and in one night drown every spark of the blaze. And the end is complete and final. The shock is over and peace is established, to the confusion of every foreign prophet who predicted a long and tedious issue. Times such as have just been stated are what the world is crying for. Are we as true Americans going to hang back and let that one man, President Wilson, take the responsibility? No! We are going to put our hand to the wheel and back him up with an army of soldiers that no nation can defeat. We are not going to sit down and grieve for some loved one, a. brother, a son or a father who is perhaps now lying dead Over There among the martyrs 0f the cause we are fighting for. As in the Revolutionary War, every man who could shoulder the rifle left for the front, so let us also do. They fought for in- dependence and went gladly, with the confidence that they were right and that they would win, and they did. We will also give our loved ones to Uncle Sam, knowing that we have the assur- ance of winning this war. Also in the Civil War, our men fought bravely, filled With the confidence of their loved ones at home and of their leaders, and they won. They freed the negro of the south from slavery when this country was divided between Union and Freedom, and Slavery. As did our ancestors in those days, so let us place our confidence in those men who are leading this nation, the United States of America, through the years of its gravest history. They will lead us through to Victory if we are willing ,tO give them our men to help. Let us say with that great leader of colonial times, Miles Standish, when he uttered these words, :len is a terrible thing but in the cause that is righteous, sweet is the smell of powder. Yes, sweet is the smell of powder to those boys of ours who are fighting against the enemy in the trenches of Europe, for they know the cause they are fighting for is righteous. They know they are making the world safe for democracy. They know they have the American people behind them, and it is left to us to hear of the strain of seeing the best men of the nation leave for t'Over There? Let us stand upright under this test and bear the burden, not grieving for some loved one who is now on the blood-soaked battlefield, but knowing that our cause is a righteous one, and trusting in God that all will be well. Let us light the little battles at home, and place our confidence in those men who are leading our boys, and we shall win if America will stand as one mighty invincible army against the hosts of darkness and evil. IRENE M. LAMMERS. l38l u M i x 0:. - Im go'- 4m..i.i.,..um.n....u..m E s s E E E 'o N this great war in which we are now engaged we have pledged ourselves to a most noble cause; to fight for 1iberty,jus- tice and humanity unceasingly, until our armies have rid the world of despotism and militarism. In this greatest of conflicts, there have been made countless discoveries, and many revelations of different character. In these, our days of great necessity, science is mak- ing wonderful strides, men are mining deep down into the secrets of nature, and are returning, bringing with them inval- uable by-products, which they have converted from the waste materials of commerce. Among the greatest of these revelations ranks the lesson of preparedness, which the world has been taught by its supreme necessity; and it certainly has been a lesson dearly paid for. Had some of the allied nations in this terrible struggle been pre pared for war, had they fostered larger armies than they did, and had they trained their young men as soldiers, one can safely say that there would be no war ravaging and devastating Europe today. And had France been prepared for war, Germany would long since have been defeated. Like other countries, France had a small standing army and even that was imper- fectly equipped; France depended upon volunteers. Germany had an enormous standing army, and a large navy, both of which i :m 1 Mlulw -.u UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING ' u m .w ' nHw uvwnununu .. H i J. ,A as i m nmmum m... 9 0.01imn were fully equipped. She had been preparing for this war for years. Then when the war broke out, her armies rushed over little Belgium, leaving death and destruction in their wake. They did not halt until within ten miles of Paris, where they 'met their equal. They were driven back, but at a fearful cost to the French forces, and since then the tides of war have flowed and ebbed over this stricken land. The doctrine of depending upon volunteers should be aban- doned, for it is very inadequate. The belief that universal military training is contrary to the teachings of democracy is based on weak foundations. There is no reason why one womants son should be trained to defend, or even lay down his life for another woman and her son who refuses to receive mili- tary training and to serve his country. The spirit of democracy demands that every youth be trained to render efficient service to his country and to his community. Universal military training has been the keystone which supported every democracy in its infancy. Our forefathers who drafted the constitution of the United States were fully aware of this truth. They held the volunteer system as a violation of the true spirit of liberty and as inconsistent with the principles of free government. A law was passed requiring every able- bodied man between the ages of eighteen and forty-five to keep himself provided with a riHe and ammunition, and to attend drill. Unfortunately the doctrine of States Rights arose and left the Central government unable to enforce the Federal laws. The regular army dwindled away to a small force, Which was used for the purpose of preventing the Indians from hopelessly impeding the ever-westward trend of civilization. As a conse- quence each state was left to build up its own militia and in its own individual manner. It is essential with a free people, that equal opportunities and privileges uhder the law, bring equal responsibilities in uphold- ing and defending the law. Each citizen owes to his country his duty not only in times of war, but also in times of peace. The average young man, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one is at the smallest earning ability of his business career. During these years comparatively few settle in their lifels vocation, and therefore, between these ages they can be given military instruction with very little interference to their business. The stabilizing effect of such training would be invaluable to a young man in building up his character and qualifying him for his lifets work. Thus having returned, mentally, morally and physically improved, he would become an asset to his coun- try, his community and himself. The fact that a great many parents foster this belief is shown by the numerous military schools that we have in our country. They know that the dis- cipline and education therein received, prepare their boys for the responsibilities of their industrial and social career. Then why should the United States make such a preposter- ous change in her national beliefs, and her international poli- cies? Why Should it break its long-Cherished belief in a small army and navy? First, because the commercial and. industrial activities of our country have undergone a complete change since the Civil War and no longer can be preserved and advanced in isolation. The nation can not keep its existing machinery running, nor can it sell its surplus foods and raw materials unless the foreign markets are open to it. The United States having become a world power, needs to have all the seas Open to its foreign trade. So long as the English navy ruled the sea, free- dom for American trade with all nations was secure; but this war has demonstrated that Great Britain no longer can uphold freedom of the seas for herself and for other nations without assistance. During the present war, the combined navies of Great Britain, France and Italy have not wholly succeeded in maintaining an effective embargo on all German and Austrian ports, or in preventing the sinking of an enormous tonnage of allied shipping. The world still has much to learn about the principles of the submarine. And secondly, steam and electricity have eliminated the physical isolation of America. The Atlantic and Pacific are no longer barriers, but highways which invite the passage of hostile fleets to our shores. While an invasion of the United States by a strong naval and military power in improbable, it still is pos- sible. That horrible struggle in which we now so nobly bear our part, is demonstrating what a terrible disaster such an invasion would be. Shermanls immortal words, War is Hellf7 no longer apply to war. His war was a mere campfire in comparison to the gigantic blaze that is razing Europe today, causing the earth itself to quake with fear. Now the word Hwartl has no fitting definition. War is war. To protect our country, to guard its productive industries and its commercial interests, and to elevate the patriotic spirit of its people, are however, not the only motives, nor are they the strongest motives for relinquishing the revered traditional poli- cies of our country in regard to isolation and avoidance of for- eign complications. The greatest of these is our duty toward a lasting world peace. Lasting peace can only be maintained after i401 the war by a dominant force too strong for Germany, Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey to attack. A limited alliance of great democratic nations can supply such a force. There is no hope of establishing permanent peace by any treaty with the Central Powers. Their acts since July, 1914, prove beyond a shadow of doubt that no reliance can be placed on any pledges made by them. In order to do its part in founding and maintaining a perma- nent peace throughout the world, our country should also foster a larger navy, as perfectly constructed and equipped as human skill can devise. Voluntary enlistment in times of industrial prosperity will not furnish the necessary number of men re- quired for such a navy, unless the principle of universal military training is adopted by the American people. What then, is a good system of military training, a democra- tic system which the United States could properly adopt? There are three good systems now in use by other countries, Argentina, Australia and Switzerland. The systems of the two nrst-named countries are comparatively new, while the Swiss system has been thoroughly tested out and has proved itself entirely successful. The Swiss boy starts his training in school. There. he is given a general course in gymnastics until he reaches the age of sixteen, when he is required by law to learn to shoot. Little or no stimulation is needed in this exercise, as riHe shootingr has become a national sport in Switzerland, and nearly every boy is a member of a riiie club, all of which are under government control. In his twentieth year he becomes a member of the first-line army called the 'Elite in which he remains until he reaches the age of thirty-three. During this period he must report seven times for field service, each term of which is eleven days. Then from the age of thirty-three to forty, he remains l41l in the Landwehr during which he is required to take only one period of training amounting to eleven days. When he is forty- one, he passes in to the HLandsturmll remaining there until he is forty-eight, and in that time takes only one period of training and that for three days. It Will readily be seen that Switzerland has universal service while it has no professional or standing army and the burden on the country is very small. And is the Swiss system good? To this there can be only one answer: it works. Switzerland, surrounded on every side by the raging billows 0f the greatest war in history, has been able to maintain her neutrality and independence. And this has been accomplished, not so much by the protection of her mountain fastnesses, as by her splendid military reserve. There is a story which is too good not to be true. The Kaiser once visited Switzerland, and was shown among other interesting things, a reserve army of 500,000 men, each one the absolute master of the rifle. iiButf, said the kaiser, suppose I should send an army of a million against you? uThat, replied the Swiss general, would give us just two shots apiece. And so our country may combat and defeat militarism by military methods and yet have freedom, cherish liberty, and not be crushed under the yoke of militarism herself. Thus, With a Swiss army and with an English navy, the United States may Well bear her part in the preservation of the ideals of free govern- ment and in effecting and maintaining a world peace. With such a system of universal military training, the people of the nation will be uplifted, they will take a greater interest in their government, all of which will insure a more abiding welfare of the nation. No foreign foe, no autocracy will ever dare to in- vade our shores, and the government of the people, by the peo- ple, for the people shall not perish from the earth. CHRISTOPH J. LOEB, l18. Know All M an By These Presents: That we, the 1918 Academic Graduating; Class of the West Night High School, of the City of Cincinnati, County of Hamil- ton, State of Ohio, being of legal age, sound mind and unin- cumbered by any duress, do hereby avow this to be our last will and testament and do hereby abrogate all Wills heretofore made by us. We bequeath unto the Academic Class of 1919 to have, re- tain, and enjoy all glories, celebrities, distinctions and privileges possessed by us as Mighty and Paramount Seniors. We assign to our estimable successors the magnificent edifice situated at the northwest corner of Clifton Avenue and McMil- lan Street, which so appropriately sheltered us and which is known as the West Night High School, together with the schooPs fiags, banners, paraphernalia and the beautiful service flag just recently dedicated. We grant and entrust the management, editing and publish ing of the only monthly Night School periodical which is known as the Evening School Voice. We do hereby proclaim that the foregoing legacies shall be valid only upon the following conditions. FirstiThat the Academic Class of 1919 maintain the Reputation, Honor and Glory of our Alma Mater which we have so loyally cherished and that they at all times rally to the sup- port of her colors. Second 7They they uphold the same high standard in all athletics and that they put forth special effort to regain the foot- ball championship. Third-That they strive to increase the circulation and to maintain and advance the high ideals now associated with the Evening School Voice. Fourth4That they be supporters and boosters 0f the newly organized West Night High School Orchestra, the only Night School Orchestra on the globe. Fifth-That they cultivate their voices so as to chant our new West Night Song with the same glorious and melodious strains with which the renowned senior chorus of 1918 so often burst forth. Simth--That they reprove and commend the adolescent Freshmen according to their deportment just as we, the Para- mount Seniors, have done, so that at some day they also may become learned men and women. In Witness Whereof, we, the said 1918 Academic Graduating Class of the West Night High School have affixed our signatures, contained on one sheet of paper, and have caused this instru- ment to be executed this thirtieth day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen. SENIOR ACADEMIC GRADUATING CLASS, 1918. I421 THE JUNIOR CLASS tl Knowledge in truth is the great 3an in the firmamem. Life and power are scattered with all its beamsfteWebsler. AS is the annual custom of all West Nighters, once again we ascend another step, but behold, we find ourselves at the threshhold of the Senior department. Three years have passed since we first set foot upon the sacred grounds of knowledge, When With light hearts and soaring thoughts we began our cru- sade for wisdom. Determination characterizes the attitude of the students of our class. As the race of the third year terminates, our most vital and important task is to complete successfully the last lap of the race so that we can overcome obstacles that hinder and are an impediment to so many in life. The first few months of our Freshman year were very strenu- ous for all, and the class soon settled down to an earnest and hard-working body of students. In our Sophomore year we advanced further into the subjects of Algebra, Spanish, Latin, German and History. We were introduced to the elements of Plane Geometry, and throughout the year our studies in Eng- lish were very fascinating and beneficial. The third year, as Juniors, found us making rapid progress toward knowledge. Our studies became more difficult, which fact made regular attendance quite necessary. It was during this term that death deprived us of our beloved teacher, Mr. Brader, whose ability and kindness will live forever in the memo- ries of those who knew him. An almost continued change of geometry teachers did not discourage the class as they main- tained a steadfast desire to master this subject. I471 The Junior Academic Literary Society was organized With Harry Kruse, Fred Cappel, Anna L. Ferguson and Louis Schuch as president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respective- ly. Monthly sessions of this Society were held, at which times current events became the general topic of discussion, and al- together the club as an educational and social unit proved to be a decided success. We were also represented on the staff of the Evening School Voice by such capable officers as: Ellen Coogan, editor; Fred Kruse, business manager; Wm. Freek, advertising manager; Viola Huebner, staff artist and exchange editor; J ohn Hoffman, exchange editor. The reception tendered by the Senior and Junior Classes and the various other social func- tions proved very interesting and enjoyable. Some of the most ardent workers of our last yearls class have answered the call to the colors and we trust that these young men will advance in the Great Cause in which they have en- listed. Among those now in the service, the Junior class claims the following: Walter Dittus, Stanley Eiche, Harry Frommer, Earl Havlin, Walter Helle and Al. Leonard. We wish to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the teachers who so earnestly and patiently piloted us through the past three years; and, now let us hope that as this term was suc- cessfully completed, so may we likewise finish the Coming grade, that when the spring of nineteen hundred and nineteen dawns we may enjoy the reward of receiving our diplomas as graduates of West Night High School. .

Audience I431 usmwmv A Group of Sophomore Academics E have just finished half of our tour of the High School World, visiting ancient wonders and viewing the antiques of Knowledge, appreciating the discoveries of all ages. During the latter part of 1916 and the beginning of 1917 we visited another planet and our guide helped us to realize the cause for the physical geography of this, the earth. On our way we met three interesting men. Irving, one of them, told us about some strange ghosts and men who peopled these parts, showing us his Sketch Book; Hawthorne, another, pointed out a Great Stone Face and in the distance a Great Car- buncle, While Longfellow asked us to speak to the sad Evange- line who had lost all her people. The languages, Latin, Spanish and German which we learned from these countries, have great- ly helped our English. In the Temple of Algebra we became curious, opening the Pandora box and discovered therein the values of X. We rested for a short while and in September of 1917 re- sumed our trip. Some of us had fallen by the wayside fatigued with the journey, but the few that remained gathered new mem- bers to the party. We formed a club, one member of which was the leader of the West Night High Schooi Orchestra. I511 While in the middle of a great sea of Quadratic Equations, a fog of Involution encircled our ship, coal gave out and we were forced to still. With the help of Evolution and more coal we managed to reach shore. Here we entered a sandy, unfirm geometrical desert whose inviting mirages brought us no farther than to cases of mysterious angles. One wonderful work of the desert we beheld in the Bunker Hill monument, at whose base we paused to hear Daniel Webster give an oration. We left this entering several oriental countries where we visited the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, whose customs we found interesting. At the end of this day we were invited to spend some time with Sir Walter Scott. As we entered the spacious hall, a statue of the noble Ivanhoe and an even more wonderful pro- duction of this great thinker, the Lady of the Lake, stood before us. In the evening we sat in the library while Honorable Will Shakespeare read a story telling us to View it 121315 We Liked It. Here we will spend several months hoping to continue our journey next September, to visit new scenes and new faces, together With the boys who have left us for awhile to live with Uncle Sam. LILLIAN KAMPEL, t20. A Group of Freshmen Academics f. HE Spaniards have a proverb that says, HIri Spain they be- gin things late and hnish never. We, the Freshmen of West Night High, may be likened to the Spaniards insofar as the first half of the proverb is concerned. We are beginning late in this, one of the greatest things in life, acquiring an education; but for us, the second half ought to read t'but finish ever? Several years have passed, for most of us, since we left the ele- mentary schools; consequently, it is not the easiest thing in the world to get back into schoolegoing habits. But this yearts freshiee are the kind who will succeed and will finish the task they have set themselves to do. though it may have moments of weariness, is a pleasure in itself. We may be likened to one who starts on a jour- ney some morning in May and follows a winding road, where each turn opens a new Vista beckoning onward. If the heat of noon day wearies, he is near enough to the city of destiw nation to be urged on by the sight of it. We are approaching the first bend in the road to knowledge, for thus the close of each schooI year may be called.

Learning; is essentially an attribute of peace. Although science is taxed to the utmost to produce means': of combating civilizationhs areh-enemy, and the worlds greatest strategists are using their combined knowledge to overthrow autoeracy, still science and knowledge are of most value in peaceful pursuits; and to that end we are laboring. But, we are not pacifists, we are all doing our part in democracye cause Several of this years efreehmen are with the colors, some have purchased Liber- ty Bonds, many have subscribed to the Red Cross and are buy- ing Thrift Stamps, and there is not a disloyal one among us. We are all ready and anxious to serve our countryts need. The number of freshmen this year compares favorably With that of other years. Of course, a certain percentage of those who started with us have dropped out; but those who have re- mained, have entered into the spirit of the work and they can be counted on to fill, some day, important places in the world. The rose lover, when he sees a young bud, can visualize the per- fect rose. The bud may have a canker worm in its heart or it may be blasted by cold Winds, but the enthusiast is by nature hopeful. Though realization may be more satisfying, antici- pation is more interesting. We are determined that we shall be successful, we are quite hopeful that, one day, those Who this year are only freebies will be noted lawyers, skilled physicians ready to alleviate mankind's sufferings, capable engineers whose constructions will outclass all others, profound philosophers, the brightness of whose Wisdom will add lustre to their golden tas- sels, and good, fine, appreciative men and women above all else. One of the most notable features of this school year was the organization of Class clubs, until now rarely successful among the freshmen. These clubs have ofl'lcers chosen from the classes and meet once a month, at which time a pleasant programme is carried out. These organizations do much to create a class spirit in stimulating the interest of the students. Perhaps the f5 ft x1e: l 1 5h w greatest event of all was the dedication of the service flag, in which the entire school participated. The music was furnished by the school orchestra, remarkable for its excellence and note- worthy because no other night school has a. similar body. Inci- dentally, several freshmen are members of it. At the dedica- tion our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Condom, delivered an eloquent address. Recently the freshmen classes united in a pleasant hike to Indian Hill, the best effect of Which was the strengthening of the bonds of union and friendship among the classes. A history of this type cannot close Without a word of praise for our principal, Mr. Siehl, whose unceasing efforts have made West Night High School the great institution that it is, and also of appreciation of our teachers for their patience and labor in developing the minds of those under their care.

FIGHTING throughout the season like a determined beast after prey, West Night, as per custom, turned out another team of high calibre. The prospects at the beginning of the season were very discouraging, but the vigor and enthusiasm which is so characteristic of West Night pervaded the team, and transformed a team of green timber into a football team 01 won- derful calibre. Indeed, the calibre was so great as to almost blow the championship aspirations of our rival, East Night, into many minute atoms. Unfortunate though we were in losing the championship to East Night, let us all hepe that it was the last time for a good many years that a West Night football team has had to how its head. The success of an army depends upon the general, or com- manding emcer, who rounds his army into the best, most sys- tematic hghting unit. The general in this case was no other than our own faithful coach, HReel Krueckfl The captain, Hugo Haller, was one of the big factors which enabled us to prepare for such a great showing as that on Thanksgiving day, and when we look at the other boys, too, we see why our team has been good. Feiler, left half, was a fast man on the team. libel , full back, one of the hardest workers of all. HRedH Bristle, right half, the man of the team. When any- one mentions the East Night Game, who do you think of? Bristlel In general we may say that our line was composed of Iron Mew, skirted by two ileet-footed ends. In closing, let it be stated that while our team this season was not quite so successful as teams of former years, and was not a team of individual stars, it was composed of fast, hard workers and p1ayers,who played together all the time. That is after all, what makes a team. H. STROBEL. Commercial ?Department $'CL$.; 1.9.: :WJ' ' o J! ior Bookkeeping A Group of Sen RALPH ARGO A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

M ay you rear the highest building lot; M ay you run the swiftest auto, Which, you manage with such. skill, Thai, the roads are fairly scattered With the victims that you kill. A live wire indeed of the class was Edward. He 15 the smallest boy and usually made the most noise. GEORGE TENHUNDFELD While words of learned length and! thundering sound Amazed the gazing rustics gathered round, Ami, still. they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. George was the smallest boy in the class, and throughout the two years was quite a marvel. He was a jolly, good fellow, and was also very fond of cream eggs. 66 HERBERT WEGERT-Business Manager, Class President ttThe comfortable and comforting people are those who look upon the bright side of life. Herbert has fulfilled the position as class president and business manager splendid- ly. His good humor and generous ways have made him a great favorite, not alone among the boys, but with the girls as well. Of course, Herbert was fond of the girls. CAROLYN WILCH That CarolyWs a maid of ability, 15 shown by her mental agility. Probably the brightest pupil of the class was Carolyn. Her books were the pride of the Commercial Department.

They sailed through the calm waters of debits and credits in safety, but some were thrown upon the rocks on the shores of Trial Balance. These, however, managed to set sail again. At the end of the flrst year they con- sidered themselves rather experienced navigators, and were ready, after a time of rest on shore leave, to embark on the more dangerous waters of the second year bookkeeping,those nearest the goal. Here all went smoothly at first but soon they came to dith- Culties such as the whirlpool of Balance Sheet and later ion the dangerous shallows of Special Column J ournal. About this time there were many who drOpped out of the fleet. Then they came to deep but calm waters, and those who persevered have reached their port, Graduation. In our English the first year we watched Ichabod Crane fly from the goblin, shared Rip Van Winkle's strange adventures, journeyed with Evangeline, and were shipwrecked with Ulysses. We finished this yeafs English by reading the Gold Bug. The second year we studied the Lady of the Lake, The Vision of Sir Launfal, and Ivanhoe. So before we part, herds to the Class of 1918. May they be as happy and successful all their lives as they have been here at West Night. JOSEPH E. HARDIG. H581 101' Stenography A Group of Sen CARL H.

There is a height which we wish to reach but we must go step by step, and not by leaps and bounds. During our lives there are certain epochs that stand out and one of these is the first evening we entered West Night High School. Two years have passed since that eventful night, and we go out into the wprld, better equipped, to cope adequately with our future difficulties. Opportunity is ever present but we must be prepared to grasp it. During the months spent here, we have become more intelligent so that we may prove more valuable to ourselves and t0 the world. Through the class spirit that has prevailed throughout the year, there have been many brilliant accomplishments. CLASS HISTORY Senior Stenography Glass '18 :- X 1.1 We have not only worked hard but there were times when we had our pleasures. The class meetings were always a suc- cess and the hikes and dances added much to our pleasure. J ust before the Christmas holidays, we spent a most enjoyable even- ing With the Salesmanship Class. We have done a great deal for our government by the pur- chase of Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and donations to the Red Cross and Red Triangle; but the most precious gift was that of two members of the class to the service of Uncle Sam. Our teachers have participated in our pleasures and troubles and we, therefore, take this opportunity of thanking them for their unceasing efforts in our behalf. Since we must now take leave, we herewith bid our principal, teachers, classmates and dear, old West Night High School a cordial farewell, and we knbw..that we carry their best wishes with us. i821 Special Stenography A Group of SPECIAL STENOGRAPHIC CLASS 2e ARK! the bugle calls. The doors of WEST NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL Opened for enlistments early in Septem- ber, 1917, and those who responded for the Special Stenographic Course were ushered into Room 210. We immediately became acquainted with our commanding officer, Miss Elizabeth King. The company, consisting of about forty volunteers, was set to work at once delving into the mysteries of shorthand camou- flage, even without supplies, except for ammunition furnished by our Commanding Officer, who gave us this with the rapidity of any machine gun. Like all good soldiers we found that we needed some whole- some recreation, and to this end a club was formed and officers were elected without delay. After the smoke cleared up, the slate read thus: President, George Harsch; Business Manager, Chas. Dolmen; Editor, Julell Deininger; Treasurer, Melvin Erdman. With this corps of officers to manage the affairs of the company, our club meetings, which were held the first Thursday of every month, progressed pleasantly and profitably. The sag first break in our staff was caused by the withdrawal of Bro. Erdman, who left us to take up work in another city. While we were very sorry to lose Mel from our number, still we soon realized that we had one among us who could take up his duties. Miss Esther Cohen was unanimously chosen to take up this task and has proved herself a worthy successor. At our first meeting after organization we discovered that we had real oratorical talent among us. Judging from Miss Luella Krogefs display in this meeting we feel that the campaign managers in the cause of womanls suffrage are unwise to over- look her oratorical powers; to say nothing of our Brother Henry Zodikoff, who bids fair to be a close second to uWillyum Bryan. The celebration held in the Music Room just before our Christmas furlough is an event which will long be remem- bered. It was on this occasioh that the members of the com- pany began to feel real comradeshipwa feeling which has grown stronger and stronger as we are all fighting in a, common cause. i841 SPECIAL STENOGRAPHIC CLASS-Continued The entire Company from Room 210, W. N H. 8., went on two occasions Hover therett to try to bring some cheer to the sick soldiers at Ft. Thomas. This we feel we succeeded in doing, judging from the welcome we received. In fact, we know we were welcome, because one Of the young privates went so far as to tell two of our girls ? ? that ttThis Visit is better than a bot- tle of soothing syrup. On May 2 we were fortunate enough to be able to hear an intensely interesting lecture by the. commanding officer of another company, Helen M. King, who spent some years in Porto Rico and Cuba. We are sorry to say that some of our comrades were not able to stand the training, but we wish it understood that not all of those who fell by'the wayside were slackers; some through mis- fortunes were compelled to withdraw from the company. Al- though our ranks are depleted, those of us who remain are doing our best to HKeep the Home Fires Burning? Now we come to the end of a perfect year and we fmd our- selves once more in the music room. We are both happy and sadfhappy to have attained the goal to which we have been looking forward for long weary months, but sad to the extent of having lumps in our eyes and tears in our throats when we real- ize that once more we must answer the question, uWhere do we go from here. Hark! the bugle calls again; but a few minutes remain for us to say ttGoodbyet, to dear old West Night, where we have spent so many evenings of labor and happiness. As we see the doors closing behind us, we do so with the determination to use our influence to urge other volunteers to enlist in some branch of the service represented within these four walls. Goodbye and good fortune to one and all. I851 mg A Group of Freshmen Bookkeep rummm o a-mmm CLASS HISTORY FIRST YEAR BOOKKEEPING HE Freshman Bookkeeping Class of 1917-1918 of the West Night High School started in September with a large mem- bership, forming three classes. Two of these were traveling classes and one was a listationary class. The traveling classes had Mr. Leipholz as a teacher for bookkeeping and Mr. Gebhardt as a teacher for English and arithmetic. The stationary class had Mr. Jordan for all subjects. Two of the classes had very enjoyable Christmas parties on the last night of school before the' holidays. Although they were not aware of it at the time, this was the last night when the classes would be the same as at the beginning of the year. After the holidays, Mr. Leipholz was transferred to the second year. His class was used to re-enforce the other two classes, who then both became tttraveling classes, having Mr. Jordan for book- keeping and Mr. Gebhart for English and arithmetic. After one week of school, we were compelled to ilenjoy another vacation of two weeks, because of the fuel shortage. This was one of the many ways in which we were made to realize that our country is actively engaged in the greatest war of all history. The Freshman Bookkeepers have taken a very active part in all of the patriotic activities of the school: the Second Liberty Loan, the Red Triangle subscriptions and the Thrift Stamps sales having been supported very well by all of them. At the sale of pop-corn balls for the beneiit of the Red Cross, one of the classes, Room 301, pledged the largest amount of any class in the school. 1 87 1 Our classes have not only formed an educational point of View, but have also had several very enjoyable social evenings. Clubs have been formed in each room, which meet on the first Thursday evening of each month and no organization in the school can boast of more entertaining programs than those arranged by the efficient committees of the bookkeeping classes. The talent of some of the members has made it possible to have the entertainments furnished by the students themselves, who have participated in speeches, musicals, recitals, and many other interesting features. In addition to the events mentioned above, there is one im- portant occasion which must not be forgotten. That was the hike to Fort Thomas by the class of Room 303. The girls who were there can testify that they had a good time, even if there were only two boys With them. And now a year's struggle will soon be over, and before we can reach the height of all bookkeeping wisdom, we still have a yearls climb ahead of us with all sorts of stumbling stones in the way. Let us all hope that we may meet next September to continue our journey through the mysteries of bookkeeping. Let us all resolve to become a part of those who enjoy the position we now envy, that is the position of graduates from the bookkeeping department of West Night High School. Therefore we will not say HGood-bye, but 'tAu Revoir. n. 21,727+. Stenography A Group of Freshmen Welm merry little workers Of 207, 8 and 9, And were busy, oh! so busy, Writing shorthand all the time. When welve worked hard all the day, WelTe very tired at night, But all the tiredness goes away On entering dear West Night. But Oh! it seems a, long, long time From seem to half-pasl nine, Twice we write each logogmm And miss it every time. And when our toll is ended, Homeward we take em way, Om minds all heavlly laden With, shorthand for the coming day. N the early part of the year the study of stenography seemed to all to be a pleasant task. But as time rolled, onitwas plainly visible that the task, although pleasant, was not as easy as we had expected. There were difficulties before us; at first it was the vowels, then the logograms and last the briefs and hooks. l89l HISTORY OF THE MFIRST YEAR STENOGRAPHY CLASS As these obstacles confronted the class, they caused small panics, until some students failed to report for reviews, and fmallyfailed to report at all. But after this there remained the core of the class, a class With determination and with but on idea; VICTORY. As Christmas neared, we gave Socials and parties With great success, promoting school spirit and good-fellowship. Quite a bit of humor and jest originated in this class. Teacher Give me the plural of penny. Pupil'The plural of penny is nickel. After the enforced vacation we had on account of the fuel Shortage at the beginning of J anuary, everyone was anxious to resume his studies. With the new year came harder toil, 'and to have entered our rooms at that time,'0ne would have thought he was near a beehive, for we were as busy as the proverbial bees. The Class hoped to continue to be industrious and to make its second and final year a preparation for service in the coma mercial world. Perhaps some may be able to fill the great need Of the government in its demand for stenographers. Who knows? Our motto is Not at the top, but climbing! K7 V jnbustrial Classesxxi xR x 3ak - mmm 3 CLASS HISTORY OF CABINET MAKING v 0.. mm mummm -.m u man o .3. m mmnm. a HEN the opening of the second term of Night School was effected, the cabinet making aspirants, true to their worthy inclination and in conformity with all former class openings, were found in ample numbers anxiously awaiting the distribution of tools, tools which at the present time are serving their part in shaping the destinies of the nations. Such were the number of men on the floor that it was necessary to organize two classes, each class attending school two nights a week. This order was maintained throughout the school term. Under the supervision of Mr. Dauth, our worthy instructor, some very useful pieces of furniture were made. Appreciating the fact that all work and no play makes J ack a dull boy? the social events given by the class were not found wanting in en- thusiasm, but were entered into with the same ardor and zeal as was the regular course of study. The mid-year and tinal entertainments were characterized by the combination of all the industrial arts rooms, namely, the machine shop, printing, mechanical drawing and cabinet making classes and from the apparently supreme enjoyment of all we dare to hope that this plan will be pursued in the ensuing terms. An active interest was also taken in all events of the school in general. The Liber- ty Loan and Thrift Stamp campaigns received the hearty co-op- eration of the students. Many of our boys are now in the serv- ice of the government and their spiritual presence is represented by a service Hag flung from the walls of the room. It is antici- pated that quite a number of new stars will have to be added at the opening of the next term. In doing a work worthy of merit, No other work should be considered.

While the weather was not all that could have been expected, the school responded 110ny to the call of the first dance, and the largest crowd ever recorded in the history of the school was present. The accounts of the first dance were scarcely balanced, when the pupils were asking when the next one was to take place. Although the thermometer hovered around the zero mark, De- cember 8, 1917, the night of the second dance, the crowd present showed as never before the loyalty that brings all pupils of old West Night together, and which has made our noble HAlma Mater what it can, at the present time, boast of being. The committee of the dance was substantially the same as that of the first with Mr. Trefzger again acting as chairman. I971 igglny Hli lulllllllwi Cwlw The Dances of West Night High School 1 9 1 7-1 8 The committee of the third and last dance of the season, which took place April 6, 1918, boasted for its leader our very eflicient junior clasemate, Mr. Frech. This was the last gala affair for the school as a unit, and was attended by a large crowd of young ladies and gentlemen, who we all hope had a good time. And when HHome Sweet Home was played on the night of April 6, it was felt by all that the purpose of these gatherings was not so much the accumulation of temporal riches for the benefit of the Annual asthat the pupils of this school should be brought together under the proper social environments to enjoy a Spirit of congeniality toward the student body and the school as a whole. We wish to extend our hearty thanks to all the members of the various committees who helped to make these dances a success.

HE Hawk is absolutely the best and cleverest publication existent today. It is known from Northside to Evanston, and has some of the worldts most fastidious erudites upon its list of subscribers. Although a financial failure, due to the fact that we have no advertisers and give a copy of the Voice With each copy of the Hawk, we beg to announce that we have had a very successful year, both from a literary standpoint and the fact that we have made several students realize that an hourts sleep before twelve is worth two after. I also beg to announce that The Hawk will rise phoenixlike from the devastating heat of summer and continue her wonderful work next September. 198i u. 0,011 !ka :IIHLN Kmmnm mwmwmhnml GRADUATES i SPECIAL STENOGRAPHY 1 9 l 8 3-. 1991 Cohen, Esther ......... . . . . . 2620 Stanton Avenue Deininger, Julius ......
