If on down through the milestone's of life this work occassionally brings back fond memo- ries of the many pleasant moments spent in study, so that you cherish it among your dearest possessions, it will in no small degree have served its purpose.

And there we'll find the same old friends We knew in night-school days. We'll see what time has done for them And learn about their ways. There're some on whom Dame Fortune smiled, And others gained great fame, While some have neither fame nor wealth, But they're happy just the same.

So just remember as you go Along life's rocky way That each new friend that you can make May help you out some day. l-le isa judge of high esteem, He treats them all the same, And heeds not bribe nor politics- judge Albertz is his name.

G. af mTQ.M W FORTY-FIV 5915 DS EN-LL 015132 Iiaeruism ui Beane Laura E. Diehl I-IE patriotism of some people consists of a somewhat sentimental devotion to one's country, exemplified mostly in saluting the flag and singing national hymns, and, in times of war, a willingness to die for one's country. Even to-day patriotism in the mind of most people is associated with war. While in the popular mind the old hero worship holds its place with wonderful persistency, there are many things to indicate that it is growing confused and no longer infallibly follows the old ideals. I-leroism as embodied in the traditional sense and popular idea is already archaic. The unreasoning, instinctive, brute courage, ready to fight without cause and without caution, is no longer a useful quality. Even in war it has lost its value. What is wanted now is coolness, endurance, patience, and steadiness. There is little field for the old spectacular fighting of man against man. We shall make, however, a great mistake if we allow ourselves to undervalue our physical courage. It will always be a necessity in the life of man. Situations will arise where men must face danger, taking their lives, as it were, in their handsg but the use of courage in the old methods and to the old ends is becoming year by year obsolete. It is high time for us to realize that the teacher in the school, the preacher in the pulpit, the editor at his desk, the historian and the poet, the fireman on his watch and the policeman on his beat, if faithfully doing their duty, are patriots as truly as the men with guns, perhaps using worthier tools and acting in higher realms of service. Science has given us men of courage. Sir Ernest Shackleton and a little party on board the Quest started south last fall to spend several years on a voyage around the vast line of the Antarctic continent. He planned to bring back scientific data on magnetism, biology, and numerous other things. News came that Shackleton was dead even before the real work began. F'oRrY-sEvEN Through his untiring efforts Pasteur studied and overcame the silk-worm disease which threatened one of his country's greatest industries. He developed the prin- ciples of sterilization and pasteurization of wounds, thereby saving the lives of count- less millions of human beings. The yellow fever was brought under control through the heroism of Gorgas and other brave men who loved their neighbors better than themselves. The experiments to which they gladly offered up their lives proved that the bite of a particular mosquito was responsible for the disease. Business gives us men of courage. Few seem to realize that the digging of tunnels through miles of rock, cutting of waterways and developing new channels, bridging of rivers and chasms is done at the risk of life. We often think of men of capital as selfish, but it is a great risk to invest money in such large enterprises without knowing really if the problem is going to pay. If it were not for these men the nation would be at a standstill in financial matters. They show colossal courage. The great men of to-day are not the Napoleons. We honor the men who save life, not those who destroy it. The great man is he not who gets the most, but he who gives the most. We determine a man's genius not by his ability to acquire a vast fortune, but by his ability to use it where it will most benefit mankind. The great man to-day is he who renders most service to humanity, who considers himself steward of whatever trust God may have given him, who, in his greatness, befriends the weak and helpless, whose heart is set on duties rather than on rights. Public servants are men of heroism. It is the courage which inspires a man to go along a line of window-sills through blinding smoke and hot fiame to the rescue of human beings, that makes a hero of a fireman. The policeman is not a common character. He goes through buildings in search of murderous criminals, or, single-handed, attacks a gang of ruffians intent on his death. Not a year passes when scores of such deeds are not recorded in the news- paper. Not a year passes but hundreds of firemen and policemen lose their lives in the acts of heroism. These heroes of peace equal in moral qualities the heroes of battle, and are as courageous as the winners of Victory Medals. Great men give their ability to the public as in the case of Herbert Hoover, who gave his time and powers to the task of feeding the allies. Mr. Hughes gave up a lucrative practice when called to serve his country as secretary of state. Our great statesmen are greater than their salaries. The patriotism of woman is as strong as that of her brother, and whenever the need comes, although she may not shoulder the musket or draw the sword, she does all that is possible to ameliorate the hardships of war. The Red Cross is her work and her glory, and the noble bands who gave their time and strength to increasing its efficiency and extending the reach of its influence are among the heroines of the nation. Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross in this country, resigned her position and offered her services as a volunteer nurse. She sought the hospital, the camp, the battlefield itself, and devoted herself to the distressing work of relief measures. A gift to the nation and humanity she surely was. The noble work of this order is not confined to times of war. In peace its service is equally heroic. Daily the Red Cross relieves suffering. Many are private individuals who struggle bravely and uncomplainingly against disease and disappointment in their daily lives-silent heroes whom none acclaim. It requires real heroism to turn defeat into victory. It takes great courage, hope, determination, and will power to live daily on a high plane. FORTY-EIGHT Let us pledge ourselves to aid one another in the full performance of our duty to humanity, which that accepted declaration implies, so that in time the weakest and most unfortunate of our Republic may come to march with equal step by the side of the stronger and more fortunate. Let us help one another to show that the liberty for which we have fought and labored is the twin sister of justice and peace. Let us unite in creating and maintaining and all-American public opinion, whose power shall influence international conduct and prevent international wrong. In the battle of life let us fight to win, but may it be a fight worthy of the best that is in us. As Wordsworth so beautifully says: ti Who is the happy warrior? Who is he That every man iri arms should wish to be? I t is the generous spirit, who when brought Among the tasks of real life has wrought Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought, Whose high endeavors are inward light, That makes the path before him always bright, Who, with a natural instinct to discern What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn, Abides by this resolve, and stops not there, But makes his moral being his prime care. l tv' 'S T -t '2 1f .K 'r -- '-ss 1 N f I 4, FORTY-NINE angers tu the epuhlit Carl Albertz EIVIOCRACY is sometimes regarded as a divine institution. We are told that the voice of the people is the voice of God. We should cherish the ideal of democracy and resist every attempt to undermine it. Democracy is a sacred institution, but, like all institutions operated by man, it is beset by dangers, dangers which in themselves appear trifling, yet threaten the safety of our Republic. One of these dangers of the present day is the disrespect for law. Crime is rampant throughout the country. The machinery of our courts is clogged because of the in- creasing number of violations of the law. The men who commit these crimes should not be shown any leniency, and if these offenders were brought to a speedy justice it would be an example to others that the, United States enjoys liberty regulated by law. These laws were framed with the view of preserving the morals of society, and through them the citizen is reminded that the interests and desires of the individual are brushed aside when these happen to be hostile to the safety of society. These laws were made to be obeyed. We may not like a law, we may think a law foolish or harsh or unjust, yet as long as it is a law we should obey it. To obey a bad law might work some temporary inconvenience, but this would not be as regrettable as would be the habit of violating the law with impunity. Obedience to the law is an essential feature of good citizenship, especially in a democ- racy where all laws emanate from the people, and where the citizen looks to law and not to a monarch, not to a person, for the protection of his rights. When citizens in a democracy begin to lose their respect and reverence for the law and to disregard its commands, they are preparing a way for anarchy, and anarchy leads to despotism. Society can exist only where the laws are obeyed. A second danger lies in an influx of unfit immigrants. FIFTY-ONE One of the many problems the Great War has left in its wake IS that of immi- gration. About the beginning of the nineteenth century the United States passed a law making certain restrictions on immigration. While these restrictions have helped somewhat in solving the immigration problem, they have not kept the unfit and undesirable from coming to our shores. Former President Wilson, before going out of ofhce, said: As soon as the restriction on travel is removed after the war, many persons will seek admission to this country and that among the number will be not only persons undesirable from the point of view of becoming future citizens, but persons whose origin and affiliation make it inadvisable that they should be permitted to enter the United States. Much has been said about the mixture of blood in the colonies, but, as a matter of fact, it was fundamentally Nordic and thoroughly English, as the great mass of the population was from the British Isles. If we grant the premise that the native Amer- icans of British descent formulated the constitution of this country and have thus far governed the land with success, then it is hardly wise for native Americans to entrust the future of their country to men who come to us from countries where they have had little or no experience in self-government. Numbers of them now coming over here are of races that have for centuries shown an utter incapacity to appreciate the ideals that we cherish. Some of them come only to evade the heavy debt the war has placed on them. Professor Ward, of Harvard, speaking of these immigrants, says: Such a situa- tion has never confronted us. This is not normal immigration. It is a frenzy, a panic, a stampede, a mob without calculation, without sound judgment, a seething mass of hu- manity with but one idea-America. The Dillingham Act, which restricts the admission of aliens in any one year to three per cent of the number as shown by the census of 1910, has been extended to june 30, 1923. In the meantime it will be the duty of Congress to frame and pass a new set of restrictive measures of such a character as to insure the country adequate protection in the emergency that will confront us next summer. But I believe that a holding off of immigration for a time would benefit the country financially and economically. This would give us time for an industrial readjustment, as well as time for investigation of the problem and the formulation of a permanent policy for future immigration. The stream of immigration must be kept pure. A third danger lies in an unassimilated foreign population. Unless we take it upon ourselves to Americanize the immigrant we will have a group who will have little knowledge of our government or habits. The immigrant may have little money and often no friends 3 he is shy and timid, he has left a back- ward country and is bewildered by the wonders he sees in a progressive one, he has racial and religious hatreds. Everything in America is very different from the home- land. If we meditate for a moment we shall find some way to help our foreign-born brother, who comes to us from a country wholly different in civil government, eco- nomic life, and social custom. This man needs help, which should be given to him, and as the late President Roosevelt put it, We must Americanize them in every way, in speech, in political ideas and principles, and in their way of looking at the relations between Church and State. The war has taught us a lesson which many years of peace failed to teach. It has shown that in many parts of our country our melting pot, of which we talk so much, does not melt, that millions of our foreign-born are in no way assimilated, and, as the late General Francis A. Walker expressed it, we have overloaded our national di- FIFTY-TWO gestion. There are four phases of The Americanization Campaign: education, as- similation, Americanization, and naturalization. In the first place, there are large numbers among us who cannot read or write, who have little or no knowledge of the English language. These we must educate, for ignorance is a menace to democracy. They must be assimilated. We must teach them the American standards of cleanli- ness, of hygiene, of public order and safety, and the like, for if they are not taught these things they never will rise from the ignorant class. The next step is American- ization. Americanization is chiefly concerned with the mental and spiritual side. I-Ie must acquire such an understanding of our country, our institution, our govern- ment, and our ideals as will give him so deep an appreciation of our country that he will naturally wish to become its citizen. I-le should know what kind of men laid down the foundations, what were their ideas of the purpose of the Republic, what have been the trials of the builders of the state. Thus we come to the fourth step. This step must not, however, be forced on him, because this would not produce one-hundred- per-cent Americans. l-Ie may go through the motions without changing his racial prejudices, without acquiring either our ideas or our ideals. The state of Pennsylvania has under way a comprehensive plan to reach every isolated community of foreign- born. Its aim is to co-ordinate government agencies, benevolent societies, and business interests in one strong drive, to enlighten the millions of foreigners in the state. If every state follows a same plan of Americanization there will be no foreign-born group unchallenged as to its loyalty to the Union, and no community having foreign-born neighbors left ignorant of their obligations and responsibilities to America. We have a glorious country, founded on eternal principles of freedom, justice, and humanity. Let us see that all our inhabitants, citizens and aliens, reverence her ideals and render impotent the dangers I have revealed. Q 5, f ,TQ is-Q. E X ras' FIFTY-THREF Class Photos P2 4,g.g,,.'.

OW it so happened that in the year of our Lord, eight and ten, there gathered, in the ninth month, in the Halls of one West Night High School, a band of Seekers of Knowledge, in order to journey into the Land of Learning. , Some came from the Eighth Grade, and others came from other halls of learning, and yet others came fresh and green from a far country. And behold, they were received with malicious glee by a band of wild beings called Sophomores, who did pounce upon them nightly, and did cause them to suffer great things, until they did say in their hearts: With great desire have we come to learn, for because of it we have endured great torments, but unto thee, we say, that not until we have filled from the tree of Wisdom and reaped the fruits thereof, shall trial and suffering stay us. And as they dwelt long in the land they fell in with the customs of the inhabitants thereof, and each became as one among the rest. Now it came to pass that after some months there were certain wise men in the land who were called to look upon them, and their eyes with one accord were turned to Exams, but many, with one consent, began to make excuse and did cry out, The task is too great, I cannot go on. So thus did this class decrease in number that at the end of the first year the whole number of they who did remain was but half the band that first began the journey. ll. T THAT time began the second year of sojourn in the Land of Learning, and behold, there came from other lands new seekers of Knowledge who replenished the number lost after the first year, and now they were called by name Sopho- mores. Many of their number joined in council and, calling themselves Wiz-owl Club, resolved that in number there was strength that they might fight their battles together. Likewise, it also happened that they were now allowed to partake of the more cherished pleasures of the land. Straightway they were seized with a strange malady which did cause them to act with much flerceness and strangeness of manner. Wise men were called to look upon them and pronounce this infirmity to be football and basketball Thus did the class progress and again came the second call of Exams, and lo! the second milestone of their sojourn in the Land of Learning was passed. III. OW it so happened that the third year of sojourn ofthe Class of Two and Twenty should be one of the great happenings in the land. A great cry went up from the throats of the throng: Lol if it doth happen that we must make a success of this life, it appeareth that there is much need of many dollars, of song, and play. So, thinking these things, two men of good repute and much learning rose up and did form and organize what were called in name the Clee Club and Players' Club. Behold! some of the Class of Two and Twenty did partake with gladness in the pleas- ures of the Clee Club, and found favor in the eyes of one C. L. Miller, who did lead FIFTY-SE VEN them in song. There were yet others who partook of the Players' Club, which brought much joy to the heart of one Mayer Lipman in the Perils of Rosebud. Anon, when came the month of May this Class of Two and Twenty did organize itself into a body that it might find strength and success in the last year, so they did call them by name the junior Class Club. Now, when this had all come to pass they called to the old inhabitants of the land, called Seniors, saying: Come ye, and make merry with us, for you, the Class of One and Twenty, are about to depart to a far countryg all things are now ready for a great feast. And as they were bidden so came they in large numbers to the place set apart, and were filled with joy and pleasure, it became known by the name of B-A Reception. IV OW it has come to pass that this, the last year in the history of the great and wonderful Class of Two and Twenty, has been one of much hard labor, and little resting by the wayside, for, be it known, they prepare and make ready to take their final departure from the land. So it happened that they were given power to put all their pride and feeling in The Voice of West Night, which they did try to make a great success. They wished for badges befitting their station, so emblems of their class were purchased from the jewelry of the country about, with which they rested content. And then it straightway came to pass that members of the class began to write the greatest and most wonderful thoughts, that the people who should come unto them on the night of Commencement should not need be turned away in disappoint- ment. Four years hath the Class of Two and Twenty sojourned in the land and gathered in large portions the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge. But it is written, In the day ye shall have eaten of all these fruits, ye shall surely be driven from the land! Now they must depart hence, each to a separate way to lands they know not of, to do, they know not what. May the blessings that ever attend the good, the noble, and true follow and abide with us each and all, now and forever. Amen. ALVIN j. I-IACKMAN. FIFTY-EIGHT Sluniur lass Ziaistnrp Class of twenty-three BVIOUSLY, everything done in this world has been done with some specific purpose, some definite aim in view. Success cannot be achieved by merely wishing for it. Earnest, unremitting endeavor is necessary, and even this is not sufficient, unless it follows a logical method and aims at a definite goal. We, an energetic group of students, the juniors of 1921-22, entered upon the Hill of Learning through the portals of West Night High, with the purpose of gaining all the knowledge we possibly could, to meet good Cfor surely anyone who is willing to sacrifice convenience, good times, and, in many cases, very reluctantly, repose, must be good lj, ambitious people, and between the two, obtain a certain amount of pleasure. In our first year we became acquainted with many subjects, which fairly made us quake with fear and amazement. However, the agonizing first days soon gave way to a feeling of stability and honest endeavor to succeed. The words and phrases of our foreign languages, which seemed so difficult to master, gradually blended into perfect and natural usage. Interest was bound to grow, and the constant striving soon changed into the happy realization that a new world had opened its doors, and we, as novices, soon bloomed into the ranks of Sophomores. Then, new subjects brought new interests. We were now trained to grasp them readily, and settled down to earnest work. Algebra, to those of us who were totally unacquainted with it, seemed a veritable Chinese puzzle, whose x's, negatives, and squares caused us much anxiety. But there is always stretching away before the hard and faithful workers, goals that bring their just and well-earned rewards, and this thought goaded us onward and we became the much-envied juniors. We, as juniors, were well represented in all school activities. Besides the many dances, we enjoyed a memorable evening at the A-B reception given us by the Seniors. A study of the classics has broadened our views as to good literature, and given full vent to our poetic inclinations. As we have now climbed the Hill of Learning, and have almost reached its sum- mit, the goal, which we once viewed so hopelessly, and which is now within reach, has been made possible only through the efforts and kindness of our good teachers and efficient principal, to whom we are most greatly indebted, for, after all, what would we have done without them? And now for-graduation. ANToiNETTE BERNDSEN. SIXTY bupbumure lass Iaisturp Class of Twenty-four WO YEARS AGO, on September 19, 192o, we sauntered through the large doorway of West Night High and ventured to Room 217 where, later on, we learned about how little we knew. We exchanged greetings with Mr. Venable, our teacher of English, who had us to write much information on small cards, which, as our friend from Mars is so fond of putting it, seems to be a custom of this class of earth-beings. The second period of the school year in 1920-21 was devoted to the study of Latin, the language spoken in the old days of Cicero and his bosom friend Catiline. We thought we were in the middle of the sea and had to swim to shore. By the able guidance of our teacher, Miss Ashfield, we soon saw the shore, so we began to swim in that direction. lt was not very long until we reached our goal, because after we learned the declensions and conjugations we went over the waves of subjunctives, gerunds, and gerundives as though we were hanging on to a string that was tied to a fast and speeding motor boat. Much interest was shown by the class in the study of Physical Geography. Mr. Kiger piloted us through many miles of space in teaching us the conduct of the planets. He had us flying from the earth to the moon, then to the sun and so on to all the planets, but we were almost back to land when the finals came. We were still full of air and water when the examination lists were passed around, but by the time we received our reports we felt sure we were on solid earth again as we were passed on to the Sophomore Grade. The opening of 1921-22 found us back again at our studies. First, we began to learn of Caesar. Miss Ashfield again was our teacher of Latin, and she led us to victory once more, which means, of course, that we were all successful in the study ofjulius Caesar. Upon the throne of English ll sat Mr. Ziegler, who taught us a few things about oratory. Some of us never heard of Daniel Webster until handed the classic to digest. Of course, we learned that he was one of the four greatest orators in history. We then were overwhelmed by the 'Cutpourings of Cicero and a deluge of fig- ures, which is only another way of saying Cicero and Algebra. Algebra seemed to be an easier subject than most of us had anticipated, as the whole class seemed to ab- sorb it like a sponge does water. We think the success in this study was due to a con- stant stream of questions directed to Miss Weber, our teacher, by one of the boys. Several members of our class were also members of the Glee Club and the Dra- matic Club. Of course, the success of Paul Revere's Ride and The Perils of Rose- bud was largely due to these members. lt is with regret that we look forward to the coming year, as it will seem almost like entering a new school, because we have lost our teacher who stood by us for two years. We certainly hope Miss Ashfield has as great and even greater success in her future endeavors as she has had with our class. We have now reached the half-way mark of our ambition, and since this much is accomplished we hope to progress through our final two years at West Night High with equal success. We vow to always uphold the honor of West Night by doing our best next year when we shall be registered as juniors. W. E. SULLIVAN.

S THE school year is now at its close, let us pause for a few moments and ' gaze back through Father Time's diary and see what we have accomplished. We have become acquainted with Arnold's Sohrab and Rustumf' Long- fellow's Evangeline, Shakespeares Midsummer Nights Dream, Bryant's Trans- lation of I-Iomer's Ulysses, and I-lawthorne's Story of the Great Stone Face. Through these authors' descriptions and delineations of characters our imaginations have been broadened, and they have kindled within us a desire to know more about the great masters of the English language and their creations. Our acquaintance with the foreign languages has been as profitable as it has been delightful. We are convinced that our command of English has been greatly extended by the pursuit of these exacting subjects. Now, as we look toward the future, our aspirations become higher, and as the years go on we will realize what education really means to each one of us. Though it may require more than one sacrifice on our parts to come to school evening after evening, the very fact that we are spending our hours profitably and usefully, alone more than rewards us for our efforts. And with the knowledge we acquire we hope to be better able to fill our callings in the big sphere of human endeavor. We will look forward to the opening of school next year with renewed interest, and will work with zeal and vigor toward the goal which lies before us. At times we may grow weary, but we shall ever be encouraged by the lives of the successful who have gone before us. We express our sincere gratitude to our kind and untiring teachers and our ef- ficient principal, Mr. Siehl. SIXTY-FOUR Qlumni uf west ight Iaigb 9tbunI N MAY we celebrated our first anniversary, and what a glorious one it was! For the hrst time in the annals of West Night has a class remained true to an educa- tional cause for three successive years. We became organized late in the autumn of our Sophomore year. Progress was slow, but positive. The majority of us that year passed unto a higher plane and we were known as seniors. How wonderful it all seemed! This was our supposed big year. We were given school time in which to hold our meetings, and many exciting incidents took place behind those closed doors. Hikes, parties, dances, and hayrides were the outcome of the social committees' splen- did co-operation. The hours of both joy and work given to this cause during our last year of school shall never be forgotten. But time passed, as time will do, and we found ourselves on the eve of graduation. It was at this time that we became conscious of the treasured greatness of the many friendships formed at West Night. It was this feeling which prompted a proposal for an alumni. We held in reserve the election of the officers who were to take us through the beginning of our journey on this new adventure, until the last meeting of the Senior Class, which resulted as follows: President, Ralph Becker, Vice-President, Helen Seaman, Treasurer, Elsie Ziegler, Secretary, Lester Althauser. Graduation came next. Such happiness! 1 Vacation followed. More happiness! h Then West Nights strong doors opened again and we made arrangements to hold our first meeting. Talk about encouragement-six attended the first meeting. The following one proved a little more successful, which started the ball a-rolling. All that was needed to bring success about was to get our principles before the newcomers. After attending once, few failed to return. Our next stumblingblock was havent got the time, which we finally overcame after having quite a tussle, and we again proceeded. Several dances were held which helped to swell our coffers, thereby adding to the physical greatness and mental power of this association, the most needed essential, namely, financial standing. A most appropriate constitution was next adopted and another election was held with most pleasing results, to-wit: President, Wm. K. Bools, Vice-President, Amelia Halfarthg Treasurer, Walter Blesig Secretary, Lester Althauser. Executive Committee: Ralph Becker, Chairman, Belle Vanderhorst, Elsie Ziegler, john Sucietto, and Lester Althauser. Arrangements have been made to extend a most hearty welcome to the graduates of this year, and if you care to look at our new members then turn to the group picture of the academic class. We have lain our foundation, and only through persistency have we won. I chatter, chatter as I How To join the brimming river, for Men may come and men may go, But I go on forever. -Tennyson.

Our Grst year passed, though not uneventfully. Many pleasant and happy friendships were formed, which in a great measure encouraged our return, and which buoyed up our spirits when they were lagging. We again entered the portals of West Night High School on September 19, 1921, with our goal but a few months off. We resumed our studies with a good will, and were soon making rapid progress in book- keeping and were refreshing our memories by a thorough review of mathematics. After a few months of earnest study we found ourselves nearing the Christmas holidays. Cn the last night of the old year we decided to put our studies aside and employ ourselves socially. We spent a very pleasant evening, enjoying to the fullest extent the splendid program, which an efficient committee had prepared, and, 'mid laughter and joking, we wished one another a Merry Christmas and a good-night. Returning again in 1922, after the refreshing interlude of the holidays, we found ourselves confronted by the mid-year examinations and put in a few weeks of intensive study and review. Then, a few more months Hitting by, found us again preparing for examinations, this time the finals, which were successfully passed, in spite of the many fears we had concerning the outcome. With graduation rapidly approaching, our thoughts turned to the usual prepa- rations for commencement. With the end of our course came that never-to-be-for- gotten day when, with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow, we bade farewell to West Night High School, the pleasant recollections of which will always live in our memories.

We alone are responsible for the fulfillment or failure of the desire that led us to seek a higher and better education, which would aid us in attaining our goal-a position of trust and responsibility in the business world. Our class has worked conscientiously, under the guidance of our friend and teacher, Miss Alma Burke. Friend she was to all of us, and if in later years we attain a high pinnacle of success, we may truthfully say that it was through her interest and help that we arrived there. During the past year we have studied the writings of some of the most famous poets and essayists the world has known. Among them were: Robert Burns' poems, The Ancient Mariner, by Coleridge, The De Coverly Papers, Grays Elegy in a Country Graveyard, and many others, both sad and gay. The school dances were well attended by the members of our class, and we were not among those conspicuous by their absence at the games. We rooted our- selves hoarse, and backed the teams whenever we were called upon for assistance. The Voice was not ignored, for, though small, it carried within its covers pearls of great wisdom, which dropped from the lips of the sages of West Night, and some choice morsels of scandal for those whose' literary taste craved it. Our class was most fortunate in having for its editor Mr. Edwin Herth. He did his work as editor very well, and his class write-ups always held something of in- terest for each of us, and, next to the Hawk, was the most important item of The Voice. And now as we are about to say Good-bye to dear old West Night High, we feel that our work was not in vain, and that we will be better men and women for having been West Nightersf' While we may never come in contact with one another after we pass out from West Night, let us in parting say Au Revoir, and not Good-bye.

But as we progressed it became plainly visible that the task, though pleasant, was not as easy as at its inception. There was unfamiliar ground to be traversed: to the stenographers the mastering of the vowels, the ticks, and the hooks constituted the work in hand, while the bookkeepers found it quite worrisome at times tracing up the elusive dollar which kept them from a proper balance. As these obstacles confronted us, it threw us into a temporary state of panic. The interest of some waned, and a number who began, failed- to return after the Christmas vacation. However, they were few, as most of us had started in with the determination to finish the course in the face of all hazards. The classes hope to be working briskly again next year, the final yearg we hope, then, to be prepared for any problem of the business world. With the stick-to-it idea the classes are bound to succeed. EIGHTY ICHTY-'IW be bemistrp anti iphpsins Iefises Friday Evening Session l-IESE two classes have shown repeatedly that they are composed of the most ambitious people in West Night High School. They attend sessions, which are held every Friday night from six-thirty to ten-thirty o'clock, making it possible for them to do a weeks work in one night. While the work has been exacting and the hours long, espe- cially after having spent four nights in the regular course, it has been so intensely interesting that the members feel they have been greatly benefited through devoting their time to the work. Two hours were spent in lecture instruction and the remainder in laboratory work. - TS N PHYSICS STUDE ND A RY EMIST CH OF GROUP rn cu 3: -I -4 I 'Q I nv rw m A I ,Q---'il JUQW QHIY lUL'Ii SS ,A 'CI H STENOGRAPH I- A GROUP GF THE SPECIA V I x . .Q lr, . , 2, M .IL my 4 Y L , ,- , o P i Y I I, S.

The game was played on a swamp-like field at the East Side High School stadium. A cold wind blowing continually made it miserable for the players. It was a game which will always be remembered by West Night, as it brought great joy to the hearts of our rooters. We entered the field with only thirteen players to East Night's twenty- four, but we completely outclassed them and our goal was never crossed or even in danger. West Night scored thirteen points, most of which were due to full-back Tank Wallace's line smashes. The basketball team of '21-'zz proved a sensation by defeating the best of their class. Captain Don Crawford of this team was the nucleus of action about which his team performed, His great scoring ability was admired by both his team and opponents. Each year a number of students win their spurs and enter the West Nights hall of fame by receiving their letter. The letter men this year were of the football team: Captain Sohngen, Huppertz, Wallace, Blersch, Weisensee, Keidle, Rittenhouse, Gutz- willer, Gehrig, Robertson, Carter, Schmidt, of the basketball team: Crawford, Ruff, Meyung, Hamelrath, Proebstle, Althauser. The school spirit shown toward the various teams was indeed pleasing to the players, for it brought great numbers to our games. We feel you have enjoyed our efforts, both in victory and defeat, and those of us who remain for the year 'zz-'23 wish you to show that same spirit again. We thank you for your co-operation and interest shown in the past year, and with our best wishes hope for many added triumphs for dear old West Night I-Iigh. C. j. RITTENHOUSE. NINFTY NINETY-TWO THE BASKETBALL TEAM NETY PRETZELS E TH '-E I 75 Ciba Serbia Qllummittee N OCTOBER, 1921, a committee was organized to make the school dances the biggest success they had ever been, and to assist Mr. Mueller, the social manager. By the support of this faithful committee much was accomplished. During the school year six dances were given and every one was a success. The following young men of West Night had charge of the checking at the dances: David Patterson, Chairman: Carl I-Iottendorf, Chas. Hynes, Ed. Lotz, john Voelker Url, Harry Moorman, john Pund, Walterj. Rice, Eugene Wheatley, Clarence Froehleger, Thos. Becker, Frank Schmaltz, Richard Kopp, Chas. Schegel, Ed. Hart- man. The refreshment committee, with Carl Plogstedt as chairman, was one to be proud of. Their method of serving the large attendance and their courtesy was an added attraction. Among those who have well served the committee and the school were Miss Gertrude Geiler and Miss Rose Blum, who ably handled the tickets at the door. Excellent music was provided at all of the dances. D. W. PATTERsoN, Editor. NINETY FOUR VICE COMMITTEE ER ES TH Z Z FI -I -4 I 11 41 IT!

This has been manifested so frequently and so profusely that we concluded the Annual would be incomplete Without giving space to a few quips, such as frequently appeared in the pages of The Voice. THE HAWK se- lections on the following pages were written by Conrad Proebstle, editor of THE HAWK, in true HAWK style. In editing The Voice we tried to confine this department to two pages, but it often overflowed with such scintillating tales of school life that we were compelled to give it extra space. THE HAWK will always be remembered by the graduates of nineteen hundred and twenty-two. O I' H NDRlDAND SIX u g u h W k l Haw ' A J 2 an 953.1 H II Nothing can be hidden from me -- I see all, hear all, know all The Exponent of Other People's Business Mysteries a Specialty Uncertain While at times we feared for Bill Nugent's future. we think he still has a hghting chance. It surely did look uncertain on several occasions when Bill was seen parading some sweet damsel, in whom he seemed very much interested for the time being, but the manner in which they were cast off and replaced by new indicates that Bill will do nothing rash-j ust yet. He evidently believes the old saying, variety is the spice of life. '23 Still Going Strong A wonderful affair sprang into existence at West Night this year. Most everyone has noticed the tenacity with which Ralph Niehaus and Luella Weiss have clung to each other. Theirs was a case of mutual admiration. But we must cer- tainly agree that it has not only been beneficial to themselves but to the school as well. Luella was always on hand to aid Ralph in the official discharge of his duties as circulation manager of The Voice. Affairs of this type will always meet with our greatest approval. 'DJ Our Insurance Agent At least we can point with pride to one man who has been successful in evading the feminine ele- ment at West Night. His name is Alvin Hackman, and at present he is busy writing insurance for his friends, fthat is when he can.J Except for his brief spells with Edith Havlin and Miss Welsh, Mr. Hackman has lived up to the statement made concerning him. QQ A Reversal of Form We have learned from a good source that Ralph Mueller's parents intended at one time that he should become a clergyman. For a short time after attending night school his habits were such as to indicate that he was destined to attain this goal. But then there came a sudden change in this young man's outlook upon life: from a rather reserved person he turned out to be a jolly and boisterous lad who was in for a good time, any time and all the time: another instance where we can see the work of feminine wiles. ln sum- ming up his present condition, all we can say is that we think he is hopelessly lost to the ministry. '23 Farewell lt is with the most sorrowful of feelings that l write this last article for The Hawk. Through- out the year l have derived the greatest pleasure from informing the student body of incidents. accidents, tales and school scandal, happenings in and about school. These reports were always given without malice. Their purpose was to amuse and not to offend. To those who were spared we say that it was not because we had nothing on them but that space would not per- mit the revealing of their unwise actions. To those who feel that they were sometimes un- justly brought before the public's eye. we say Forgive and Forget. CONRAD PROEBSTLE.
