COACH GARETSON Track 1925 1 1 Mie track season of 1925 was one of the most successful experienced for several years. At the first of the season our chances looked very poor but, by May, we had one of the best track teams Western has ever produced. Our first real contest was on May 9. Western, represented in only four events, took fifth place in the Mississippi Valley track meet, with eleven points to our credit. On May 1 7, we defeated St. Louis University High 76-28, by taking eleven firsts out of twelve events. On May 23 our team showed increased strength by defeating Principia 61-60. We won the St. Louis Preparatory League Cham- pionship Meet on May 27, scoring 55 points out of a possible 1 1 3. Western cap- tured exactly one half of the medals and placed second or better in each event. The whole team deserves mention. Records were broken by Watkins and Franz. Poos came within a few inches of breaking the broad jump record. Other men on the team were: Torres, E., Torres, A., Nelson, Edwards, Julier, Candy, Acosta, Duffin, J., Valentine, Channer and Lampton. Each one helped to make the season a success along with the hard work of Coach Garetson. SCORES W. M. A. Fifth place in Mississippi Valley Meet with eleven points. W. M.

4 ‘• The Taming of ihe Shrew” SENIOR PLAY OF 192S A record crowd greeted the Senior players Wednesday evening — June 10th, when they pre- sented Shakespeare’s famous comedy, “The Taming of the Shrew.” The evening was perfect — cool, clear, and sparkling with stars. The stage setting, arranged in front of the music studio, which served first as an inn, and then as walls for the house scenes, was in happy keeping with the theme of the play. The windows of the quaint old building served as doors after the first scene; the walls were decorated with portieres and tapestry, and a Venetian lantern, which added Italian atmosphere, was suspended from the ceiling of the porch. During the play, between scenes, the orchestra furnished fine music that covered up the lapses for changing the stage. CHARACTERS Introduction : A Lord Neill Christopher Sly. A Tinker Piowaty, C.
