E5 To give a complete history of the Class of '08 would be a tremendous task. To at- tempt to recount all its acts of brilliancy would be useless. To prove its superiority in scholarship would be time wasted, for a self- evident fact needs no demonstration. In short, its history is the history of VVestport High School during 'Chose four memorable years. . - In the spring of IQO4 an excellent class of Seniors was ruthlessly turned out into the world to make room for these JOSS, whose reputation has already preceded them. In the fall they were received with joy. As Fresh- men they made an unprecedented record. The star of destinv of the preceding class, which had, since the arrival of the 'O8s, been hover- ing on the horizon, had now set. Into obliv- ion sank the illustrious names and the glori- ous deeds of all preceding classes, and with them the remembrance of their existence. In their Sophomore year the ,OSs were recog- nized as the leading spirit of the School. During this year and the next, their Junior year. thev were frequently mistaken for Sen- iors. Wlhile during their Senior year, so .tx 9 grave was their demeanor, so becoming their manner, and so profound their knowledge, that many of them were often mistaken for their teachers, and not infrequently for col- lege professors, statesmen, lawyers, etc. But not only in literature have they been formostg not only in literary circles have they been dictators. In scientific research, espe- cially along the lines of chemistry, thev have been unsurpassed. In their numbers are those whose glory has eclipsed that of all the fa- mous nien and women of to-day, including scholars, scientists, poets, dramatists, etc., etc. In every line their efforts have been rewarded with attendant success. There have been so many calls from the world at large for members of this Class of. '03 that, after much careful consideration, they, amidstthes entreaties of the Faculty and the tears of the whole School, have decided that the time has now arrived for them to bid adieu to the scenes of such pleasant mem- ories, and to separate, each to his respective place: but to meet again in majestic splendor in the spacious Hall of Fame.

Alma Cuiler, '08, THE WEsTPoR'r HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 25 The Senior Reception. 3 To the Class of IQO8 belongs the honor of the iirst Senior reception given in the his- tory of Westport High School, a delightful precedent for future classes to follow. In a class of more than eighty members, the Op- portunity to become well acquainted is slight. It was in order to develop a more general friendship among the Seniors that the recep- tion on the 6th of March was given. The Seniors, the members of the Faculty, and 'fthe wives of those who are fortunate enough to have them -as Miss Patrick said in her speech of welcome-were the guests enter- tained at the School on that night. The Pres- ident of the Class, Arthur Moses, was unable to be present on account of illness. However, his place was ably filled by Miss Adah Pat- rick, the Vice-President, who welcomed the 'S R? guists in the name of the Class. During the evening a very interesting programme was given, as follows: .. ..Ha.zel Woillard. Piano Solo.. .. . . . . . . .Nita Abraham. . .. . .. ..Paiil.l01ies. Vocal Solo Recitation. Piano Solo. . . . . .Cyifilla H iimes. Recitatioin. . . . . .Sallie McCluetr. Piano Solo. . . . . . .Leslie Hohmaii. Vocal Solo. . . . . .Nita Abraham. .. .. .. .. .. ..MaiieEdge. Piano Solo After the programme, refreshments were served in the lunch-room, which was com- pletely transformed with bunting, Howers, and candles. Among the Senior functions of the year, this one evening will linger long with other pleasant memories of Old Westport. Study Hall Programmes. Owing to our double session this year, as well as lack of room, it has been practically impossible to have an Assembly for the en- tire School.

This same band of pupils has now become a band of scholars. The men and women of the Junior Class were, in the year 1905, but Freshmen. But even in those early days they were never notorious for their green performances, for they were, even then, a particularly well-informed class-in short, an exceptional class. Now this same band is still exceptional. The men have early acquired the noble habit of smoking, and of standing around con- versing between puffs, of politics and stocks. The women are no less exceptional. They Z3 their skirts, tie' up their hair, and don 'fMerry VVidows. But lately, very lately, a President was elected after much fierce voting. Strange to say, the feminine party, if our young ladies will allow the term, had candidates and even had officers elected. Now, we are not slur- ring the fact-far from it-for we think it the most highly rational 'thing our unpar- alleled Class has yet accomplished. VVe re- spect our lady officersg we consider them an item, and a very serious one at that.

It is very cosy to sit by the ire in the evening in a warm room, with a good booic to read and plenty of time to read it. So I sat one winter evening in February. It was indeed winter outside. The snow lay on the ground a foot deep, and numerous icicles hung down from the eaves. Inside, however, all was pleasant. The poem I was reading was The Raven. I had nearly dropped oft to sleep when suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber doorf' These words from 'fThe Raven Hitted through mv mind when I heard that knock- ing at my door. I was somewhat startled at the similarity of my position to that of the man in the poem, but I went at once to the door and opened it. I heard a scurrying of feet at a little distance, but saw nobody. However, as soon as the light fell on the doorstep, I discovered an envelope lying there. I picked it up, closed the door, and walked back to mv seat by the tire. Now, I wonder if you can guess what it was that that envelope contained. Well, it was a piece of paper daubed all over with green paint and cut somewhat jaggedlv into the shape of a heart. Written upon it in a childish scrawl were the words: to 2lUHt1C.7' Pauline Cclmpbell, '10. lllll lllllll l I llIIllllIIIlllllIllIlllIIllllllllllllllllllllll lll f-my Choc? ggi Class History.

I 32 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- The Taming of Private Yaney- dz 'iv- When john Yancy joined the Elevelifh Infantry as recruit number 1756, there was nothing about his appearance from which even the most pessimistic observer could have gained the slightest hint of the troubles which were to come with him to Company H, to which fate and the muster-.list assigned him. He was a lazy, slow-moving six-footer, and so exceedingly languid of speech that it seemed an effort for him to talk at all. As a matter of fact, he did talk verv little, and then never about himself. His enlistment papers told all that was known about him, only that he was John Yancy, of Fayette County, Ten- nessee, and this would not have been very enlightening to the officers of the little Cuban army post, even 'had they troubled themselves to inquire into the life of any man before he became a savior of his country and pro- tector of the flagf' or to regard him in any other light than as one more 'Krookey to be drilled into form for inspection. In Tennessee, however, it would have been quite different, Yancy is a name known in every county of the State. General John Yancy was Confederate envov to France, and Major Whitehorse Yancy fought with Beauregard in every. battle into which that unfortunate commander led his troops. Uver young john, though, old settlers shake their heads, and even his immediate family explain diflidently that there is no real harm in the boyf' but admit that things are quieter when John is away. As far as a desire to harm any living thing was concerned, his friends were right. Yancy was simply afflicted with a sense of humor so utterly out of proportion to the rest ofhis mind as to amount to an absolute de- formity and he had no more appreciation of what makes a thing really funny than a blind man has of light and shade, or the deaf of the harmonies of music. H Comoany realized this peculiarity when they awoke one morning to Hnd that, al- 9. 3 , i though every man had two ifegulation Ordi' nance boots by his bed, both were for the same foot, and neither of them belonged to him. There was a mad attempt 'EO Stfalghten things out, but more than half of the com- pany answered reveille that morning in two right or two left shoes, anditwo or three theft? were who answered in their socks. In this manner did his comr21ClCS f11'St,1C3fH that a humorist was among them: and not until the arrival of their deliverer were they allowed to forget it. 0 a ' His jokes never harmed his victims, but were of that unpleasant variety which made every one uncomfortable but himself. There was no use trying to pay him back or to pun- ish him in any way, for the reason that he never knew when he had enough. A Joke on himself suited him nearly as well as one 111 which someone else was the sufferer, and his endurance and obstinacy made anything short of killing him ineffectual. The experience of a German ,lew called Moses,H whose cot was next to Yancy's, was that of all who attempted to pay him back in his own coin. Yancy had amused himself one terribly cold winter evening ' e' sewing his neighbor's blankets together and then sewing them securely to the mattress. Great was the righteous wrath of Moses when he discovered what had been done, and the next dav he got some coarse salt and bread crumbs from the cook and put a generous amount of the mix- ture in Yancv's bed. VVith great and uncon- cealed pleasure the men watched Yancy as, after half an hour of twisting and turning, he was forced to climb out and shake his blan- kets, and Moses' heart was satisfied. The next evening, as the men were turning in, a yell from Moses brought the lights on with a Hash, which showed the poor fellow shaking and chattering as he punctuated his gesticu- lations with guttural oaths in a strange tongue while 2 little black hill-rat crawled from be- tween his blankets and ran frightened across the floor. Moses made no further attempts T1-in Wi5s'i'Po1z'ii H1eH Scnoors HERiALD. 33 to get even, and the rest of th-e company fol- lowed his example. About this time, there came to the Elev- enth a little lrishman named jolhnnv Ryan. Ryan had been raised on the streets of New York. His hsts were as quick as his wits. His speech was an irresistible mixture of the brogue of his fathers and the slang of the Bowery. His smile had the trusting sim- plicity and confidence of a child, and he had a gift of mimicry and a knack of doing al- most anything amusing that soon made him popular with the men of the regiment and the favorite of his companv. . Yancy liked him from the first, and in his honor planned the masterpiece of his genius, the joke which was to be the crown of his career. He secured a stick of photographic nitrate of silver, which he substituted for the barber's caustic, just as that tonsorial artist was preparing to begin his regular Saturday night operations upon Ryan's face. Yancy stood by and, bv a lurch against the barb- er's arm, managed to cause a slight scratch on his subjects face. The unsuspecting barber reached for his caustic, got the silver nitrate, and applied it liberally to the cut. He then added a witch hazel massage, which effectu- ally spread the supposed caustic over the en- tire left side of Ryan's face, and dismissed johnny to the darkness of the barracks and his dreams. Sunday morning dawned with all the bril- liancv of a tropical sun, and the men stood answering to reveille in a blaze of light. The officer of the day made inspection up and down his lines and stopped when his quick eye caught the grimy appearance of Ryan's face, and inquired gruflly when he had washed last. Ryan replied that his morning ablutions had been performed no more than half an hour before. So the ofhcer made a check and passed on. The few moments while he was up the line sufhccd for Ryan's face to turn from a grav to a blackish purple, so when he re- turned hf: could onlv stare in horror, and de- mand: ln heaven's name, man, what is the matter with your face FU Poor Ryan tried to explain that there was nothing the matter with his face. that it was all right, but by this time the other men were falling away from him with white faces. The lieutenant had called an ambulance, and with every oneis mind fluctuating between leprosy, black death, and bubonic plague, a record-breaking run was made to the hospital. Those who saw him in the corridor fell away on every side, and Ryan felt as though death must already have laid his scrawny hand upon him. A white-faced doctor met him at the office door, looked at him closely, rubbed his hand over the patient's face anfd then, bursting into a roar of laughter, ex- plained to the now thoroughly bewildered johnny that a mixture of sunlight and silver nitrate was what ailed him, assured him that in time it would wear off, and questioned him as to where he got it. VVhere, indeed? Ryan did not know, but men who had been longer in the company could make a fair guess. And deep down un- der his good-nature Ryan swore to work a sell on the joker that would not only square his own account, but would teach Yancy such a lesson that his fellow-sufferers would arise and call him blessedf, So he bided his time till circumstances should betray Yancy's vul- nerable spot. One evening several of the men were sit- ting on their cots, learnedly discussing the supernatural, when Yancy and Ryan joined the group. Some of the men ridiculed the idea of ghosts and spirits, two or three were not so sure, and one man frankly announced his belief not only in spirits, but that he be- lieved the story that the barracks were haunt- ed by a woman who had been there years be- fore and whom the natives insisted still walked there at night. He had explained that she had been a pilgrim to a heathen shrine, and that he himself had heard the tapping of her staff along the corridor and seen her slim white lig- ure vanish through the lower windows of the barracks. Ryan paid little attention to the stories until a glance at Yancy's face told him that he was listening-not only listening, but be- lieving every word that was told. In a mo- ment Ryan had turned his imagination loose. He told of ghosts of every sort, kind, and de- scription: ghosts that haunted New York po- lice stations, ghosts that begged at crosswavs for charity, headless ghosts that wreck trains, and grim Celtic ghost-stories, until, as taps sounded, even the hardiest of the group looked 34 THE Wmsrijoizr IIIGH SCHOOL HERALD. nervously about, and Yancy and the more credulous ones were white with fear. As Yancy was pulling off his boots that night he cast a nervous eye at the window near his bed, and with joy in his heart Ryan waited till a snore from Yancy's corner told him that he was safe from all detection. He got up quietly, and passed out and down the stairs so softly that not one of the sleepers was disturbed. In a corner behind a door he was fortunate enough to find a stack of papers, and with these and a couple of broomsticks he managed to make a pilgrim which, as he stood looking it over with the eye of an artist, made a little shiver run up his own spine. Vlfhen he had added a staff, and pushed the head forward to give it the desired leer, he felt satisfied with his 'handiwork A second or two later Yancy awoke, turned over, and gazed up into Ryan's face, which was distorted with horror as he pointed wildly to the window. Yancy was so paralyzed by what he saw that Ryan had to drag him to the top of the stairs and lis- tened to him iabbering behind as thCY Cfept along the darkened corridor, guided bv the squazfe of light that showed the open door. In the doorway Ryan motioned for Yancy to stop, and went alone toward the ghostly apparition. Yancy saw him give one thrust with his spear, the ghost dissolved into a flut- teringiwhite heap, and with a shriek that star- tled Yancyys frightened nerves into action, he ran wildly across the parade. Yancy 'fol- lowed at a rate that soon left the leader in the rear. Behind him he saw always the ghostly figure with its tattered garments. IIOW .far he ran,-no one ever knew. The sentries failed to stop him, and it was morning light when a very pale and worn soldier staggered into cantonments with a story of a mad run Wlth a ghost that no one, not even Ryan, could believe. And strange as it may seem, Yancy's taste for practical joking seemed to have been left somewhere on the road he traveled that event- ful night. At any rate, the members of Com- pany H suffered no more from his hands.

HERALD- The Paradoxical Aunt Ann. ? fi? 3 Mr. William Carr, jr., stood in his room in the Metropole in London, one foot on the window-sill, a letter in his hand, a frown on his handsome face, gazing pensively into the street below. He wo-uld grudge us a look at him just now, for he is one of those well- meaning people who always wish to appear at their best, and Carr is not at his best at the present moment. Nevertheless we Will take the look. He is of medium height, has a frank, jolly face and humorous blue eyes, his clothes are according to the latest cut, without being loud, and his face is bronzed, apparently by sun and wind. If the truth be known, he is just returning from a two-years trip around the world, a large part of his time having been spent in India and Africa, hunting. The letter in his hand is from his father, a wealthy New Yorker, who had brought up his motherless son according to his best lights, which included a course at Yale without a great deal of money to spend, and a two-years trip around the world with his college chum, john Stanley, at the close of his college course. Carr was slapping his letter on his knee for the fifteenth time when the door opened and his traveling companion came in. Stan- ley's father had also brought up his son alone, and his methods had been radical. At the age of eighteen the boy was sent out with railroad fare from Denver, his home, to New York, and told to work his way through col- lege. Young Stanley, put on his mettle, got years reported The old gen- a reward sent work, and at the end of five to his father with his diploma. tleman was delighted and as his son on this trip around the world from which we find 'him returning. The five years of hard work have left their mark on Stanley, however. While not so handsome as his friend, his face is stronger and more serious. He is fully six feet tall and carries himself with the assurance of a man who can take care of himself and knows it. An amused twinkle came into his eyes as he saw his friend. I-Iave you been jilted again? he asked kindly. Read that!', Billy snapped as he threw his letter onto the table and went into the table and went into the next room. Stanley picked it up and read: USEATTLE, YVASH., june 8, 1905. My dear Son,-You will find a check enclosed for two thousand dollars.. That ought to keep you until I see you again, and I hope it has fortified you for a shock. I'm married. Stanley's lips puckered into position for a whistle, but he restrained it as Billy re- entered, and read on soberly. Please note first, son, that it isnit any 'Merry Widow, stunt. The lady is old fudge Carrol's oldest daughter and she is nearly as old as your 'dadf She and her sister have been entirely alone in the world since the judge died. I used to know Edith long be- fore I met your mother, but I hadn't seen her for years until I met her on the Allison's car last summer. We were married last week from her sister's home on the coast of Maine, very quietly of course, and we came right out here for our wedding-trip, and will stay until September. I 'm sorry that I didn't receive your let- ter saying how soon you were coming before I dismissed the servants for the summer. As it is, you have no home to come to.

And another circumstances let just the man I want want for a certain place, and it is a good opening for him. I'll put him .to work as soon as I get back. 'Your 'Aunt Ann Carrol, said she was going to- ask you both to come and visit her for awhile, as she is sure you are tired to death of hotels. I believe I told you that she has a swell place up on the coast of Maine, THE IWESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 39 on Carrol Point, I think they call it. If she does ask you, you 'd better go. She is a queer, quaint, little woman. But she has a good deal of her father's Irish humor, I guess. 'What makes me think she is queer is that she lives up there, almost the year around, with nobody but servants, a com- panion, and books for company, and seems perfectly happy and contented. 'll-Edith could not stand it, so I married her, and I hope you 'll forgive me. Affectionately your father, UWM. A. CARR. Stanley leaned back in his chair and looked at Billy, who was glowering fiercely at him. W'ell,,' Stanley began, with caution. I7Vell!l' Billy exclaimed testily. Is that all the sympathy you've got for a fellow ? I-Ie turned to the table and picked up an- other letter which he hadn't opened. Who the deuce-? Stanley sprang up to take it away from him saying, f'Look out, Bill! You can't stand any more now, and I feel it in my bones she 's jilted you. If you donit shut up! Billy exclaimed savagely. You know they 've all done it long ago, and you needn't rub it inf' Billy was opening the letter, which was addressed in a delicate feminine hand. He read a moment in silence, and then called more cheerfully: Listen here, Jack, this is rich l And he read: HPINE REST, CARROLL BEACH, ME. My dear .M 1'. Ca1'1',-You have probably been informed of our relationship and will pardon me if I take the liberty of writing you. Mr. Carr told me before he left thatyou had no home to come to, and seemed to forget how welcome any of his family would be in mine, so I write to impress you with that fact and ask you to come and keep me from for- getting the world, during -Iuly and August. I will tell you frankly that I am very quiet up here and actually don't know a soul off of my own place except the store people. Pine Rest is out on the very end of Carrol Point, five miles from the railroad and nearly a mile from any other place, so you can see how easy it is to forget the world. I hear, however, that there are some very nice 'people at the hotel on the bay, girls especially, and you can probably get acquainted there very easily if you want to. I have several horses that are 'ridable' and Ilm sure you would find that a resource. The bathing is fine and the climate cool and restful. Then there are lots of books and-I can be entertaining when I try. Now if you don't want to come, say so and I'll understand. Otherwise, come when you please, bring Mr. Stanley with you, and make yourself at home. Sincerely your 'aunt,' HANN ELIZABETH CARROLS, Before Billy finished reading 'his face had resumed its usual cheerful expression. Say, Stan, that sounds like a bully place, let 's go. I don't care, Stanley replied, HI guess Aunt Ann is enough of an old maid so that I can trust you with her-that is, unless you have inherited your father's liking for old maids. I Billy threw a magazine at his friend and sat down and wrote his acceptance as follows: lily dem' Amit Aim,-Much obliged for the invitation and accept with pleasure. You needn't worry about our having a good time. We are both sick of hotels and people, and all we want is a corner where we can rest awhile. You need not worry about girls either. Stan is shy of them and I have had enough of them for one while. 'WVe sail Saturday and would like to get out to your place a week from Monday if that is satisfactory to yon. We both think it 's awfully nice of you to ask two kids like us out to disturb your solitude, but we prom- ise not to do it any more than you want us to. Sincerely your nephew, I HVVILLIAM A. CARR, JR. Ten days later two young men stepped from the Boston train at Carrol Beach Sta- tion. They were met by a liveried groom, who relieved them of their suit-cases and trunk-checks and led the way to a waiting car- riage. The men stepped in and were soon whirling away on a fine road, shaded by dense pine woods. After twenty minutes or so, they began to catch glimpses of the sea between the trees, and to feel little puffs of cool salt breeze. They passed a few houses at first, 40 THE VV13s'rPoRT HIGH SCHOOL but soon seemed to be going into the real wilds. Ten minutes more passed and they fcame abruptly upon two great Stone' galte' posts with the name Pine Restw swinging over them in bronze. They rolled through them into the heaviest woods they had .yet seen, turned sharply, and a magnificent view met their eyes. Before them lay the open sea, a beautiful blue in the late afternoon light. The break- ers piled over the rocks at the end of the point, like great snow-drifts and rolled up the beach at the side with a monotonous roar which in time becomes a part of life by the sea. In the foreground was a quaint, ram- bling stone-and-shingle house set in the midst of a smooth lawn, which sloped gently down to the stone breakwater on one side and back to the woods on the other. The two young men were still feasting their eyes on the view as the carriage stopped at the door, and a tall footman appeared from the house and took their baggage. He showed them to adjoining rooms upstairs, and after announcing that Miss Carrol would soon be in the drawing-room, left them to them- selves. They opened the door between the rooms and talked as they removed the dust of travel. The talk ran principally to the beauties of the place and speculations as to what Aunt Ann would be like, until a rustlc of silk was heard in the hall and a halting step on the stairs. A Auntie has rheumatismfi Billy remarked sagely. In taking a survey of his room, Stanley's eye had fallen on a picture of a girl on the mantel. As has been said, Stanley was not an ardent admirer of the fair sex, but he was fascinated by the picture and gazed at it longand earnestly. It was of a girl of twen- ty-three or four, with wavy dark hair, a sweet as well as beautiful face, and soft appealing eyes, which had a mischievous twinkle in them in spite of the fact that her expression was otherwise perfectly serious. Fine-looking girl, Stanley thought, but turned away disgustedly. Nl ini most as bad as Bill to stand mooning over a girlis picture. I guess I'll put it out of sight before he sees it and gets 'struckf 'A He moved back to the mantel and pushed the picture behind the clock after one more long loo-k. I I-IERALD. l'd like to know what color her .eyes are he thought, as he responded to B1lly's he was going down stairs. They were met at the drawing-room door quaintest little old lady imaginable, call that by the ' , who gave them a most cordial greeting. She must have been good-looking when she was young, Stanley said to himself. She was dressed in a gray silk gown which did not Ht, although no one noticed that. A soft handkerchief was folded around her throat after the fashion of the Quakers, and a soft lace cap covered her almost white hair, which still curled a little. She wore specta- cles, which did not hide merry blue-gray eyes. Her face was almost vouthful-looking in spite of a few wrinkles. She limped a little and moved stiflly as she led the way to the win- dows facing the sea, and, seating herself in an old-fashioned armchair, took up some knitting. Her rheumatism had been very bad latelv, she told Carr plaintively, while Stanley sat back and wondered where he had seen someone who looked a little like her before. Then as she looked up at him with a smile, he remembered the picture upstairs. How like her eves that girl's were! VVhy, the re- semblance was startlingl The picture must be some relative, but no, she had no rela- tives, as he remembered Billifs father had written, and it couldn't be a picture of Aunt Ann herself taken when she was young, be- cause he had noticed the date, 1904, on it. Supper was announced at this point, and af- ter introductions to Mrs. Gray, the compan- ion, Stanley completely forgot himself in an- swering Aunt Ann's questions about their trip. Before they retired both young men had decided that Aunt Ann was as charming as could be, and that Pine Rest was an ideal place. As soon as Stanley was alone in his room that night he looked for the picture that he might compare it with his hostess, but it had disappeared, and no amount of search re- vealed it. Several weeks passed so delightfullv that Stanley forgot to wonder over the peculiar resemblance and the disappearance of the picture. Both young men found Aunt Ann more than charming, and tried their best to mo-nopolize her. Her rheumatism seemed to improve as the days went by, and she soon THE Wiisrronfr HIGH Seriooi. HERALD. 41 found it possible to descend to the beach. She said that she always felt better at the sea- shore, especially after a long stay in town, like the one she had had in the spring. The bathing was glorious and much was added to it by the fact that Aunt Ann looked on from the terrace. The saddle-horses also proved to be good, and the young men took frequent rides in the early morning, rarely during the day, however, as that left Aunt Ann alone with Mrs. Gray, whom they considered a bore. Gne morning Mrs. Gray came down to breakfast with the sad news that Aunt Ann was confined to her room with a very bad headache. Aunt Ann, always thoughtful of word that at Rocky the comfort of her guests, sent there was a cave worth seeing Point, ten miles down the coast, and sug- who was gested that they take. the groom, a good guide, and ride down there. It would be possible for them to dine at the hotel, Mrs. Gray explained, and get back in time for supper. The gentlemen were enthusiastic about the plan, sent their regards to their hostess, ordered the horses, and were shortly on their way, attended by the pleasant little groom. They stopped at the post-office on their way through the little town near the station, where Stanley received a letter from his father, which he opened at once. His face fell as he read, and as he folded it and put it in his pocket he called to Billy, who was mounting his horse: This is from father, Bill. He wants those B. and A. papers right away and Iili have to go back and mail them. That's deuced luckll' remarked Billy. It is too bad. It will be too late to go, too, when I get it done. I'll tell you! You go along without me and see the cave any- how. I don't care much about it and you may not get another chance. After some argument, Billy yielded and reluctantly went ahead, while Stanley can- tered back to 'Pine Rest. About half-way back, at one of the most deserted points in the road. an abrupt turn brought a horse, with a woman at its head, into view. She seemed to be having some trouble with the bridle. and as he trotted up and dismounted he recognized one of the horses from the Pine Rest stables. Strange! he thought, and, lifting his hat, asked if he could be of any assistance. The young lady murmured very softly that she thought not, and bent closer over her broken bridle-rein. f'You need a knife for that,', Stanley urged. You had better let me help you. W'ell,,' she answered almost impatiently, and, stepping back, she looked up at him. He started as he heard her voice, and still more when he saw her face. It was not only Aunt Ann, but also the girl in the picture. He said nothing, but took out his knife and went to work on the broken rein, looking up at her from time to time. Instead of an old- fashioned gray dress, she wo-re a black riding- habit, which fitted her perfectly. Instead of a lace cap, a broad-brimmed sailor hat rested on her head. Her hair was black instead of gray, and glorious hair it was except for the whitish tint given by powder, which clung to it. Her color had been heightened by vig- orous exercise until she showed a typical Irish complexion. Stanley linished splicing the broken rein before he spoke, and then he remarked coolly, May I help you, Miss Carrol? She laughed merrily. HI guess you can. I wasn't quite sure that you knew me. As he held his hand for her foot she went on soberly: I I don't see why you had to come back and spoil things. I'm exceedingly sorry if I have, he said gently, but business required my returnf, 'fNever mind, she replied pleasantly. 'AI couldn't have kept it up forever. Will you go riding with me now 7' 'fWitli pleasure, he answered. I,ll be delighted if you donlt mind going home first and getting some letters that I must mail. She assented and they started back together. VVhat I want to know is, why you did this grandma stunt at all, Stanley said thoughtfully. I'll tell you if you 'll tell me why you put my picture behind your c1ock?'y So you discovered that, did you? he asked, laughing. VVell, I'll tell you frankly why I did it. It was so stunning that it 'fussed' me. 42 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. I donit believe that 's frankly, she 1'6- plied. Now I 'm going to tell you thefftlfh- Wheii Mr. Carr wrote to accept my invita- tion, he implied that I was an old maid. BC- sides, he out and out said that he didn't like girls, so I had to be an old maid in order that the poor boy wouldn't be disappointed. I meant to work it just for the first night, but everything went so nicely that Mrs. Gray and I decided to keep it up for awhile, at least. I got tired of staying in the house, so this morning I had a headache, and after you were gone, started out for a ride. You know the rest. Stanley laughed. You and Mrs. Gray are good actresses. I would never have suspected anything but for the picture, and I don't believe Billy does now. What do you say to keeping him fooled a little longer? I'll keen still, and it will serve him right for being a blunder-- head. All rightf' she said gailyg let is do. So when Billy came home about five oiclock, he found Aunt Ann in a big chair on the porch, with her knitting, her spectacles, her cap, and her kerchief, and the devoted Stanley on the steps at her feet, reading to her. Carr talked to them awhile, telling them of his trip, and then went into the house in search of a book. He wandered idly about, looking through first one book and then an- other, until he came to a little bookcase in a dark corner. From it he drew a little vol- ume of Ruskin, beautifully bound in gray leather, and opened it to the fly-leaf, on which was written: 'fAnn Elizabeth Carrol, from her sister, on her eighteenth birthday, january 27, 1899.77 He turned the leaves carelessly for a moment, and: then turned back to the fly-leaf again. The deuce! 'he mutteredg that makes her only twenty-four now. She would not look more than that if she took off those specs and didn't have gray hair. By -love! I believe she 's been fooling us. After supper that night Carr took Aunt Ann out to a corner of the porch and told of his discoveries. She laughingly explained, and after she was through, Carr began with his usual impetuosity: Say, Aunt Ann, what do you say to keep- jug up this little game and fooling Stan? I'll pretend I don't know anything, and it will be no end of fun to see the 'old man go blundering around. He usually has the laugh on me about something or Olihfff, HHC1 H115 will be a swell chance for me to get back at him. Aunt Ann smiled mischievously and con- sented. The strife between the gentlemen for the monopoly of their hostess was in- creased from this time on. Carr persuaded her that sitting on the sand in the sun with him to read to her was fine for rheumatism, while Stanley brought the team to the door every afternoon and took her to drive, as a matter of course. So two weeks more passed. Une morning, as Aunt Ann sat on the sand with Billy at her feet, she said seriously: Billy, I 'm in a scrape. That is, I thought I was. It may prove to be a blessing in dis- guise. I 'll tell you how it is. Yesterday I had a letter from Professor King, my old rhetoric teacher. He 's in Boston just now and wants to come up and see me. Of course I had to ask him, and you can see the con- sequences. I couldn't keep up this little game a minute with himg he 'd be awfully shocked. So I'll have to give it up. That 's what I thought at first, but then I happened to think what a lovely dramatic way I can disclose my identity. Billy sat up and looked interested. Professor King will get here' to-morrow afternoon about tive, and you can go and meet him. Then after you bring him out and you and Mr. Stanley are entertaining him, I will appear in my own person. Qf course Mr. Stanley won't want to say anything be- fore the Professor and then he won't get a chance until the Professor goes, when his wrath will have cooled somewhat. Wfont that be fine ? It certainly will,', Billy replied, and I'll help, you betli' That afternoon Stanley heard the same tale with the necessary variations, and pledged his ardent support. Stanley beg-an to realize that afternoon that he had heart trouble. Promptlv at five-thirty the following after- noon. the Professor arrived, escorted by Bil- ly. He was most enthusiastic about the place and was telling what a rejuvenating effect Such a place had on old people, when Aunt THE VJESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL IIERALD. 43 Ann appeared as a living example of 'the fact. At least each young man thought his friend was thinking some such thing and, in truth, he might have been, very easily, for Aunt Ann was the picture of youth. Her glorious black hair was rolled softly back from her face and done in a coil at her neck. I-Ier lovely white dress fitted her graceful figure to perfection and her radiant smile as she greeted the Professor was enough to dazzle him, Stanley thought. The Professor didnt seem in the least dazed, however, and Stanley felt like knocking him down for holding her hand so: long. By this time Stanley managed to drag his eyes from Aunt Ann to Billy and found that usually emotional youth leaning coinposedly back in his chair and smiling ever so slightly. Billy, however, had turned to Stanley the minute Aunt Ann came into the room, and after a minute had remarked to himself: Stanley is smittenf, Dinner passed off gaily. Carr, the Pro- fessor, and Aunt Ann did most of the talking, while Stanley watched every move Aunt Ann made, and took in every word she uttered. Qnce she caught Stanley's eye, Carr noticed, and colored ever so slightly, and By love! Billy said to himself, 'fsheis smitten, too. Now why the dickens didn't I think of that beforef' At bedtime that night a mighty conference was held in Billy's room. .Stanley entered and began to laugh at his friend. Billy at the same time began to laugh at him and tell him how easily fooled he was, whereupon expla- nations followed, and Billy ended with: I 'll never forgive her, never! Chl I will,', Stanley sighed, as he de- parted to his room, at which Billy laughed and slapped his knee delightedly. The next morning, Aunt Ann, prettier than ever in a blue linen gown, took the Pro- fessor driving. Stanley watched them drive off a little jealously, and then wandered out to the sea-wall. I wonder if there is any chance for me, he thought. Not likely to be, while Bill's aroundf, , At this moment Billyls hand dropped on his shoulder. VV hat 's the matter, old man ? ' he asked sympathetically. Nothing, Stanley replied moodily. Come now, Jack, Billy went on, I 've been there myself too many times not to know the symptoms. You ,re in love, and I can guess who it is.', VV-ell, if you 'll tell me how to get out again, young man of much experience ! Stanley answered whimsically. VVhat the dickens do you want to get out for? You're so dead in love you can't see straight, and I'll bet you can have her if you say the word. Stan, you are the worst! f Ilhat ls all very nice, Bill, but what about you?' lXIe?l' answered Billy. laughing, HI hope you donlt think I'm in love with her. ' VVhy, man, she 's my 'auntf H Then soberly. Look here, Stan, you go in and' win, and you ,ll get my blessing. So it came about that after the Professor had departed, supper had been eaten, and Mrs. Gray had gone to her room, Billy plead- ed the excuse of having letters to write, and departed. Donlt tell me I'm not a match-maker, he thought, as he looked for a good pen. If 'that crazyz boy doesnit fix things up now, he deserves to remain single. Soon he heard the door leading to the terrace open and close softly, and steps and voices on the walk. Good! he murmured. For ani hour all was silent except the roar of the breakers and the scratching of his pen. Billy finished his last letter with a yawn and, turning out his light, moved to the window. Again he heard steps on the walk, very slow this time, and voices. As they came nearer he heard Aunt Ann saying: VVell, if we 're as near as New York, we can come up here real often, can't we PM Whiereiipoii Billy slapped his knee glee- fully and called: Is that my Uncle jack comin'?H C 1 ,QQ THE HERALD STAFF.

It is the last number that will be issued in the last year of the Old School. W'ith it go the last of those who re- member the K. B.

In the New School there will un- doubtedly be spirit, closely related to the old spirit, and plenty of it, but it cannot be quite the same. VV'ith new surroundings, more pu- pils, new subjects, and new interests, there must enter some new elements into the School spirit. It may be stronger and better, but it will never be the same. The minds of the old graduates will return to the Qld School, those of the future will remember the New School.

In 'the new building it will ,V Lys? .f Q1b- Za!-ff' 'vfix 5-f' W XV probably expand to a greater number of is- sues. The customary two-years term of ad- visers is up and a change of advisers, and consequently of policy, is probable. Many of the members of the staff, among whom are Alma Cutter and Paul Stivers, the Editors- in-chief, who have each served several years on the staff, graduate this year. Leda Cra- ven, Rachel Kincade and Marvin Cary, the literary editors, all of whom have had pre- vious terms, will also be gone. Joseph Haw- thorne, Society Editor, Lydia Cook, Art Ed- itorg and Betty Eastman, Local Editor-are others who leave this year. It is seldom that so many changes occur in any one year, but we have no doubt that the HERiXLD will con- tinue to improve as it has improved in the past, and that it will be a publication suita- ble to the greatness of the School which it represents. Qnce again the old athletic trouble comes up: this time in a phase distinctly favorable to Yifestport. The athletic authorities at the University of Missouri decided that this year no team could represent Kansas City in the base-ball game for the' high school State THE VVESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 47 championship which had not proved its su- periority by defeating teams from all the other high schools of the city. Rather than recede from their former position, the other high schools of the city prepared to give up the chance for the Columbia game rather than play WVestport. It is time that such quarrels and prejudices stopped. Let bygones be by- gones. VVhy should this old dispute stand in the way of future interscholastic contests? Nearly every year the HERALD is compell- ed to announce the loss of some members of the Faculty. This year it is Mr. Fox and Miss Busch. Miss Busch has received a scholarship in Germanic Languages at Columbia Univer- sity in New York City. She will be away from Westport during next year at least. Mr. Fox will teach next year at the State Normal School at Maysville, North Dakota. We are very sor- ry to have them go and wish them both the best success and the greatest happiness. Many of the teachers who will return next year have already laid their plans -or the sum- mer months. Mr. Scott has been appointed on the teaching staff of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts. He will spend a portion of his time in teaching and the rest in making collections for the high school laboratory. Miss Stoner is to enjoy a trip to France, Belgium and Switzerland this summer. She will study in Paris during july and will travel the rest of the summer. Mr. Herrmann will manage the Chautauqua at Streator, Illinois, and will go, later in the sum- mer, to California with his family. Mr. Shaw and Mr. King are to study at the University of Chicago, while Miss Nardin will attend the Uni- versity of Missouri. Mr. Underwood and Mr. Bigney will attend the National Educational Assembly at Cleveland. Mr. Sass will study in a school of design in Milwaukee. Two of our teachers, Miss Wilder and Miss Shire, have been very seriously ill this spring. Much anxiety has been felt among all their friends, but they are now both well on the road to recovery. Miss Anna D. White and Miss Anna K. Lash took their classes for the remainder of the term. EDITORIAL LITERATURE. Having written nothing but some sporadic spasms this season, I feel it necessarv to get down to solid footing and to produce some real literature. Litcratzzrc the Fz'1'szf.-Subject: Things in General. Things in general are usually very inter- esting, if not more so. They have an ex- panding, broadening effect upon the mind. Anyone who expects to do anything should be perfectly informed on the question of things in general. They often make up a combina- tion of circumstances which are often more interesting than not. As a whole, things in general are a most impressive diversion when applied to every-day life. LZif6'7'0fZl7'6' the Second.-Subject: School. A school is often a building, though some- times only a shed or shack. It is most offens- ive in spring 'weather and examination time, and least so during the warm summer months. It is by most persons considered a necessary evil. People are always talkinfr about new ones and kicking about old ones. All togeth- er, they are better than not, and anyway we have to have them, because the School Board says so. Literature the Third.-Subject: Teachers. As we have an adviser or so, we must be cautious in our discussio-n of this subject. We cannot express our candid and sincere opin- ions on this capricious question. They are sometimes kind, sometimes cruel, and some- times purely cussed. Vlfe often consider them rather in the way and superfluous. Gen- erally speaking Cand they arej, we do not dare tell them what we think. Lfife1'c1tm'e the Fourth.-Subject: Pupils. Pupils are poor, down-trodden, helpless little victims of a heartless conspiracy to op- press and torment. They are always good, always hard-working, always, intelligent andl well informed. Thev are never at fault, never lazy or shiftless, and never stupid. We con- sider that it is one of the greatest shams in the world that pupils are treated in the pres- ent dastardly manner. In concluding our series of literary es- says, we wish to positively assert that we are in no way prejudiced or biased and that our point of view is both logical and impartial. THE EDITOR. 43 THE Wmsrifonr IIIGH SCHOOL HERALD- A 5elf:Made Bridesmaid. VVhen Tom and Alicia were married, mother faithfully promised me I might be bridesmaid when Helen had a wedding. lt was an awful disappointment when Alicia. de- cided not to let me be in her briflal Darty, but she wanted every single thing pink, and of course I can't wear that-there are so few things red-haired people can wear. Helen, you know, is almost a iCQl-llfilil too, so I would be pretty sure to chime in with her color scheme. The only thing that kept me from being a bridesmaid now was Helen herself-she was not even engaged-and it was her fourth sea- son too! Horace Ellis told me one day that if a girl was out three years and not engaged then, there was absolutely no hope. My! didn't I pull his hair for that-? Then he said he had changed his mind about marrying me when we grew up-he knew he would never be able to stand my temper. After that, of course, I just had to show him that Helen could get married-and besides, I absolutely longed to be a bridesmaid. But Helen didn't know what. man she wanted. She didn't even blush at the name of a single one. Horace Ellis said-that was before his remark about our future marriage, I did not speak to him after that-Horace Ellis said that when a girl blushed about a man, it was a sure sign she loved him, his big brother told him so. Since Helen couldn't pick out her man, of course that made more work for me. I nev- er, in all my life, worked as hard as I did in getting up that wedding. I finally decided on Philip Gordon. He is tall and ugly and nice and has perfectly lovely taste in candy. He. was awfully crazy about Helen, too-sent her perfectly gorgeous flowers. I told Hor- ace Ellis once-before that rude remark, of course-that I would not promise to marry him if any other fellow sent me flowers nicer than his. He said he would have so much money then that no one could thwart him. Whe1'e was I? Oh yes, about Philip. Vlfell, after I had picked him out, I didnlt know how to get him engaged to Helen. Then, to complicate matters, Helen began to act QSF- fectly glacial to Philip. I never saw allytlllng like it. She sent his flowers to the hospital, gave his candy to me, and absolutely refused to see him. To have her act like that when I was doing my best to find true happiness for her was simply disgusting. Une day when things were at the very worst and bridesmaidship seemed impossible of attainment, I went to drown my troubles at the soda-fountain. There I met that Hor- ace Ellis. The impudent thing came over to talk to me, just as if the future of our young lives had not been blasted! Oh, Angela!!! he said, hit must be an oversight on my part, but I have not heard the announcement of Miss Helen's engage- ment yet. Then I did a dreadful thing: I told a lie, a downright lie, without a bit of truth in it. Oh! we haven't announced it yet,U I said in an easy tone! 'ibut she is engaged, and so am If' I never had beenso untruthful before. But you should have was shocked. You cheater, you he cried Cand if that swearing, I'd like to knowj 3 you faithfully promised that I could be in the very first en- gagement you had! You cheaterli' And he walked right out of the store before I could say a word. There I was in a pickle for certain. I had to get myself engaged now. I couldn't let Horace Ellis find out that I was untruthful. I was going. wearily on my way home when I met Philip. Suddenly I had an idea. Oh, Philip! I said, if a very Qgod friend of yours wanted you to get engaged imme- diately, would you oblige her?',L Kid, said Philip, disrespectfully to say seen Horace Ellis. I double-faced cheater ! ' isn't almost as bad as the least, Udo you mean to say thatianv fm,- THE WEsTPoR'r HIC on earth wants me to be engaged? If so, to herself or for purposes of revenge P I am the 'her,' H I said, and I want you to be engaged to Helen and me. And the11 I explained all about it-bridesmaid, Horace Ellis, and everything. Vlfhen I had finished, we decided to go up and speak to Helen about it. Philip be- haved queerly. He didn't say much and actu- ally looked worried. Helen was on the side veranda, but started to go in when she saw us. Don't leave, please, Helen, said Phiilipg Angela here has asked me to be engaged -he looked really amused- to her and to youf, Helen gasped. I explained about the bridesmaid and about Horace. She gasped again. Then Philip seemed to forget all about me. 'fHelen, he said, 'fwon't you tell me what is wrong. You might at least explain. Philip, said Helen in a Stentorian tone -I think 'fStentorian is the word I want- who was the blonde woman I saw you lunching with ?

Then, Philip,i' she said, I think Angela-and I- might censent to be engaged. And then, for an engaged person, I cer- tainly did seem to be neglected.

There was once in days of yore, Un that famous Trojan shore, Hard without the city gates, Placed there by the adverse Fates, A wooden horse of ponderous size. It was placed there in disguise, Feigning safety to the walls And peace within the palace halls, Should the Trojans but believe The words of Sinon, and receive The horse into their city, Troy. They set about their task with joy. And now they placed Cltis their defeatj Revolving wheels beneath its feet, move the horse too much force. Enabling them to Witlioiit exerting II. Not long ago there was a bov VVho mocked those m-en of ancient Troy. He placed beneath the toes and heels Of either foot four little wheels With swifter foot no beast e'er fled, Jove's thunderbolt no faster sped Than did this child, of Folly born. O let Cassandra prophesy, Let Neptunels priest both rage and cryg And let Old Triton blow his horn, And with his blowing calm the sea Of this enshrouding mystery. For as this child, like lightning, fleet, VVith careless stroke sped ,long the street,' He struck-- Ye Powers, where is the boy? He ls disappeared like vanouished Troy. Chas.

From a simple class meet we have developed teams for Columbia, Lawrence, and a dual meet with Kansas City, Kansas. Bob Osborne, who was elected captain of the track team early last spring, unfortun- ately fell sick, and was forced to drop out of school, leaving the track boys captainless. lt was then decided that the winner of the greatest number of points in a series of 440- and 50-yard dashes should be captain of the indoor relay team. L. Owen won the honor with 21 points. He, K. Seested, V. Glens, and E. Robinson were picked for the relay team. This team of quarter-milers secured second place in the interscholastic relay race at the K. C. A. C. indoor games, March 20, Kansas City, Kansas, being the winners, Wentwolth M. A. a close third, while Argentine and Ar- mourdale also ran. The boys from K. C., K., went the rounds in 3, minutes, 58 seconds. THE MEET AT COLUMBIA. This spring Westport for the Hrst time sent a track team to Columbia. By making the eligibility records published in the mid- ,,7f- a ' '4l 5'-l-1. Z 2? Q 3 ,Zz Ti T year HERALD, Louis Owen, Verne Glens, Kar Seested, Elmo Robinson, George Hull, and Uriel Ham were chosen to represent Westport. Karl Seested captured third place in the quar- ter-mile won by Van Riper of Smith Academy in 55 seconds, George Hull took second in the mile, following closely after Cristine of Mc- Kinley High, who broke the Columbia record in 4minutes, 50g seconds. Uriel Ham made a fine spurt in this race, winning fifth place in the field of eighteen starters, while Hull scored a fourth in the half-mile. In the relay our sprinters, Owen, Glens, Seested, and Robinson, won third. There were eight Missouri High trial and Schools entered in this event. In the 220 yards, held in the morning, Glens Owen won seconds in the fastest heats, but were not allowed in the finals, since firsts only qualified. This rule seemed a little hard on our boys, as the other heats were considerably slower. t THE MEET AT LAWRENCE. OH Saturday May 16, Westport sent a team of ten men to participate in the first an- nual K. U. Freshmen meet. Carl in the high Jump was the only one from Westport who 'HO- THE TRACK TEAM. captured a prize, beating the Manual and Central jumpers quite easily, although French Of Pittsburg proved himself to be a genuine Kansas grasshopper, clearing the bar with ease an inch better than Carl, who jumped 5 feet, 6 inches. In the mile, Hull, who had some chance of Winning a place, tripped on the curb in the fourth lap, putting his ankle out of business for the rest of the day. THE FIRST ANNUAL K. C., K.,- WESTPORT DUAL MEET. The Kansas City, Kansas, Won the iirst an- nual meet from Westport by the score of 6832 T0 535. The meet was a success, a large Crowd of high school and ward school rooters attending, the day ideal, and the K. C. A. C. grounds, Where the meet was held, in perfect condition. The records set up this year will stimulate Without discouraging future effort. No contestant could compete in more than five events. With this restriction, Barnes, of K. C., K., won 25 points C5 Hrstsj. This was the highest individual score, for which he received a silver loving-cup. Carl was second, with I4 points, a first in the high jump and seconds in the pole-vault and in both hurdles. Hull scored IO points: capturing both the mile and half-mile in the creditable time of 4:48 and 2:07, respectively. Cn the fifth lap of the mile it looked like all Westport in the order Hull, Ham, Gossard, but on the last lap Phillips of K. C., K.. made ia good spurt, nosing Ham out of second place. L. Owen made 54 THE VVESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- 8 points: seconds in 220-yafd dash and broad jump and thirds in the Ioo yards and quarter. K. Seested upset the dope' by winning the quarter-mile in a splendid race from Frush of K. C., K., Peckenpaugh and E. Fife, our weight-men, made 7 points, the one winning a second in the discus, the other making a second in the hammer and a third in the shot. R. Fife and Robinson of Westport tied with Bobrink of K. C., K., for second place in the high jump, while Robinson scored a third in the high hurdles. Seeing that we had lost the meet, our relay team went after the relay with a vengeance. Glens took the pole away from Frush at the start and held it until the fast five yards when Frush passed him by a foot. Robinson then started out after Barnes, the big K. C., K., weight-man, and beat him at the finish. Seested then took up the running and, tearing around the track, gained a substantial lead over the third K. C., K., runner. On the last lap Owen set out with Cunningham IO yards behind, but gaining on him. When Owen Saw his opponent almost alongside him, he started in to run as never before and it was nip and tuck till the finish, when Owen made a desperate sprint, landing the Schmelzer re- lay cup. The ward' school events were popular and hotly contested. Every school represented. had its rooters on hand, and they did not loaf on the job, either, but yelled continu- ously. Martin Delaney, ably assisted by J. C. Cannon as starter, pulled off the events in rapid succession as only Delaney can do it. The meet was held at the K. C. A. C. athletic field.

However, it was a great game, men against boys, and we are proud of the team. In the first two innings the Fresh- men landed four runs, but after this Kintz settled down and allowed only one more run during the remainder of the game. We did not begin to score until the eighth when a base on balls, well placed hits by Gottlieb, North and Carl brought in three runs. In the ninth we added one more, but were unable to tie the score.

With memories of one former game, we went after their pitcher in the first, getting one run. Upton, of Wentworth, then held us down to no runs until the fourth, when we scored again. The next inning we netted two runs, as we did again in the seventh. These runs were largely due to the pinch three-baggers by Carl and Guy, while R. Donaldson stung the ball twice for two bases. Our pitcher, Billy Kintz, let the cadets have only two runs, one in the fourth and one in the ninth, while R. Donaldson held him well at the same time, catching several difficult foul tips. One of the features of the game was the two double plays between North at short stop and Carl at first. Gottlieb played a steady game at second and Craddock and F. Donaldson made some lovely running catches in the outfield, none came Boody's way. Box Score. WENTWORTH. AB R H PO A E Wilmot, L. F. . . 4 o o 1 o 0 Boardman, C. F. 3 o o I o I Kelly, S.

I High School Day at Columbia has come to be such a rid-letter event in the Westport calendar that .ui unusually large number of pupils took advantage of the opportunity to see the University on May second of this year. The trip down was an education to some of us-the erratic ways of some trains had never been impressed upon us before. Never before had we had a chance to get off and hunt four- leaf clovers along the track during a trip. When we reached Columbia, we found that a great part of the University hadI come to the station to look us over. That night a play was given for the visit- ors. by the University students at Academic Hall. Saturday morning the University build- ings were thrown open to the strangers. Most of us made a tour of the buildings and ad- mired the unusually beautiful campus with its famed columns. Saturday afternoon was the date of the track-meet. An enthusiastic crowd watched the contest, which was very interesting. The first and second places in the meet went to Central High School, of St. Louis, and Went- worth Military Academy, of Lexington, re- spectively. Satdruay night, at Academic Hall, the University people gave a dance to the High School students. As the Kansas City train left at eleven, we did not have much opportunity to enjoy this. , The trip home was enlivened by ham sandwiches and the shrieks of the wakeful, who insisted that the sleepy ones should have wakefulness thrust upon them. We rode and rode and rode through miles of darkness, ' kl' li ht of broken occasionally by the twin mg g- some station, until finally dawn, a drizzly, 58 THE VVESTPORT HIGH Sci-1ooL EHERALD. gloomy dawn-not at all poetic-brought us within sight of Kansas City. Tired, dirty, but happy in the memory of our pleasant ex- periences, we came home. This spring the Hrst school tennis tourna- ment has been held. The tournament was begun the week of May 11th, but, owing to the continued rains, it could not be run off as rapidly as might have been desired. There were twelve teams entered in the doubles and sixteen boys in the singles. In the doubles, Arthur Moses and Reuben Wester were to have played Floyd Donaldson and Grover Carl for the championship, but Moses n1et with an accident to his right arm, and Howard Robertson took his place. The match was won by Wester and Robertson, by the score of 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. V The singles have not yet been decided. Reuben Wester has reached one place in the finals and his opponent will be the winner of the match between Robertson and Craddock. STOP! LOOK!! LISTEN!!! SPECI AL! ! , . lN1AI'ii31-1 Ybh, . .

A remarkable corps of officers was elected, making it possible for good energetic work to be done. The committees appointed have been very efficient, with the result that some very good programmes have been arranged. Miss Strube, Miss Bleil and Mr. Glens have done some creditable musical work for the society. On the evening of March 27th the Clio- nians tendered a reception-circus to their alumni and the HERALD staff. Before the cir- cus Mabel Gushurst, impersonating a gypsy, told fortunes, and, judging from the smiling faces of those who came out from the booth, she must have predicted some pleasing future events.

The society was divided into two sides by the president and the secretary. Mr. Hohman gave out the words, and at the conclusion Miss Margaret Jackson, the win- ner, was awarded a valentine. The treasurer, Mr. Frank Sherrill, has done double duty this year, and moreover he has not tired of his work. The society was very pleasantly enter- tained by the Clionians on February 28 The entertainment, which consisted of a play en- titled K'Shakespeare,s Wooi1ig, was enjoyed verx much. A revival of XValter the XYatchmaker was given in the Study Hall, May 15. The cast of characters was somewhat changed, owing to! the fact that a number of our 1116111- bers Qraduated in the Class of ,O7. Sumner Blossom, however, retained his place as hero ot the play. An entirely new featurel was introduced in the presentation of a Beauty Chorus, elaborately costumed and excellently trained. Much thanks is due to Mr. Leslie Hohman, a former member of the Club, for his assistance in rehearsals and staging. The Round Table Club has kept very near to its original aim this year. There has been a general spirit of harmony throughout the society, and each member has done his best to make this year's work a success. Mr. Paul Stivers, former president of the Round Table Club, was one of the suc- cesstul candidates in the Senior essay con- test, and will appear on the Commencement programme. Miss May Mott was the winner of the Senior declamation contest for the girls, and Mr. Hohman for the boys. A great deal of praise is due the member- ship committee of last term for its good work It has raised our number from the seventy members which we had at the beginnmo' of g . the year to one hundred and twenty-eight good, working members. nl' MQ?

The other guests were the lllilc.xI,p stafi, the officers of the other soci- eties, and the class otlieers. The progmmme consisted of tableaux representing the prom- inent schools and organizations of our own School. They were accompanied with appro- priate music by Miss Cvrilla Humes. After the programme, refreshments were served in the beautifully decorated lunch-room. The Society wishes to thank Mr. King for his kind help and advice through which the society has prospered, and improved wonder- fully during the past year. Mrs. King has been present at several meetings, and has taken great interest in the society. The readings, declamations, essays and musical selections given this year were of the usual high order. Society work gives excellent opportunities for the cultivation of snecial talents, which would otherwise have l no chance to be brought out. More students realize this fact now than formerly. 64 THE VV13s'rroRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- At a recent meeting Mr. Humphrey gave us a selection from Henry Van Dykels Blue Flower, entitled The First Christmas Tree, which was very much enjoyed by every one. Wie wish to thank the Clionians for allow- ing us the use of the Study Hall for our open meeting. Although it was their turn to have it, they very willingly conceded it to us. Thanks are due Miss Eloise Day, the PWS' ident, who has worked very hard during her and who also filled the office of secretary so well last term. term of ofhce, The society regrets very much the loss' of a number of very brilliant and hard-working Seniors, but, without doubt, they will be with us in spirit, as are the alumni of former years. Declamation Contest. The seventh annual Declamation Contest was held in the Study Hall Friday evening, May 29, at eight o'clock. As usual, the crowd was large and thoroughly alive, literally pack- ing the Study Hall, when the High School Urchestra opened the programme of the even- ing with Simple Aveu, a selection from Thome. Later in the evening the orchestra again pleased its audience with selections from The Merry VVidovv. The arrangement of the programme this year varied somewhat from the previous ones. Four dramatic selections by girls headed the programme, followed by the same number of orations by boys. This arrangement was de- signed to aid the judges in making out their decisions. The girls entering the contest were: Miss Katherine Campbell, Miss Lois Hodges, Miss Florence Farley, Miss Mabel Gushurst. In the orations the following boys Ientered: Mr. Clifford VV. Hollebaugh, Mr. W. Paul jones, Mr. james H. Field, Mr. 3 Leon A. Harkins. The judges awarded the prizes to Miss Mabel Gushurst and Mr. Paul jones. The hearty applause of the audience was evidence of their approval, although the other speakers were popular also. The athletic awards to the track team and ward schools in honor of events won in the Westport-Iiansas City, Kas., track meet Fri- day, May 22, proved the endurance of the Westpo1't rooters.' The VV. C. T. U. gave the prize for the best essay to Miss Hazel Harrison, a member of the '08 Class. The HER.ALD cover design drawn by Mr. joseph Gillett was awarded the ten-dollar prize. The American History medal offered by the Eliz- abeth Benton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was won by Miss Julia Guyer. At the conclusion of the programme the enthusiasm, which had several times be- fore burst forth into school yells and other evidences of class spirit, now blended in one mighty peal for the old blue and gold of Westport. ...., ,.. ,X Imi XVlfS'l'1 Oll'lx Hunt SCHOOL HERAALD. 65 +J HAZEL H.xRR1soN, Winner ot XV.

The course of studv of Kansas City, which the society has pursued has brought many new and interest- ing facts tot the attention of the members. Owing to the size of Kansas City and the shortness of time we could not make an ex- haustive study of it, which fact we regret very much. However, we feel well repaid for the time devoted to becoming better ac- quainted with our glorious city. 'We have had a good selection of subjects, the papers have been excellent, and so we can look back upon a well-spent and prosperous year. All the committees have been very faith- ful, especially the programme committee, which has arranged some very instructive and pleasing programmes. The society will lose at graduation this year the following members: Eloise Day, Adaline Volker, Cyrilla Hunes, May Mott, Alice Yates, Ruth Lawson, Edith Wfornall and Maude Biddle. The four girls who represented the soci- ety at Columbia were all delighted with the University and the quaint college town, and brought back glowing accounts to the other girls. The society has had the privilege of en- joying some very good music this year. Miss Eloise Day and Miss Charlene Vance have given some very delightful vocal solos, and Miss Cyrilla Humes and Miss Irene Curtis deserve! special mention for their instrumental music. VVe have been very fortunate in the se- lection of our new members this year, inas- much as thev have taken up the work with true Osiron spirit. ,-an -T V1-ul' J.

MISS May Mott was the successful girl candidate in the Senior ideclamation contest, and will appear on the commencement programme. On February 29 the society gave a dance at the home of Miss Coburn. Taking ad- vantage of the leap-year custom, the girls took the place of the boys during the even- ing, and showed that they knew how to ask favors gracefully as well as to grant them. The 'talent of the Osiron girls was shown in all the decorations and appointments. The house was beautiful with flowers, Osiron mon- ograms, and pennants o-f every description. The programmes, which were painted by Usi- ron artists, were decorated with the mono- gram, and there was also a large monogram on the front door. The guests were limited to the chaperons and the escorts of the girls. . ' This year a number of our alumna have attended our regular meetings much to our pleasure, for we are always glad to see a former member, and we wish her to feel that she' is still one of us. A pleasing entertainment this year was the one given for the Debaters, the alumnae of the society, the Faculty, the HERALD staff and the officers of the Round Table and the Clionian societies. The entertainment began with a few words of welcome by our president, Miss Adeline Volker. The following programme was then given: Piano Solo.. . . ..Cyrilla Humes Sonrf.. . . . . .Charlene Vance Songs.. .. .. .. .. .. ..Osiron Glee Club Piano Solo.. . . .. . .. .. . . ..Irene Curtis The principal number was a clever farce entitled, Six Cups of Chocolate,'.' which was presented byt the following girls: Helen Bangs, Adeline Volker, May Mott, Margaret Corbin, Ruth Lawson and Eloise Day. Miss Day as Adeline von Lindon deserves special mention from the fact that she had the most difficult part, and that it was clev- erly given. 1 The languid and drawling Southern girl was well impersonated by Miss Corbin. Miss Volker as Jeannette Durand, the French girl, was admirably suited to the part. The character of Beatrix Van Kortlandt, the aristocratic New York girl, was well pre-- sented by May Mott. Miss Bangs as Hester Beacon, the irre- proachable Boston girl who never had any trouble with orthography, proved herself equal to the occasion. The character of Dorothy Green was per- haps the most mirth-provoking of all. Miss Lawson portrayed the part with skill, and was greeted with hearty applause at each clever speech. The Gsiron Glee Club, composed of Char- lene Vance, Gertrude Mullett, Margaret Holmes, Gertrude Schauffler, Frances Max- well, Margaret Jackson, Mary Krugh, Flor- ence Fuqua, Christine Spencer and Margaret Coburn, was the most unique number of the evening. The songs were verses on the pres- ent and former advisers of the society, the president of all the societies and Mr. Under- wood, which were all written by Qsiron girls. There were also a number of college songs sung. Miss Coburn acted as leader, and made lmany clever and laughable gestures. The songs were accompanied on the piano bv Miss Humes.

The work of the club has eegc A ried on with enthusiasm and V1gO1. V615 I. member has done all in his power to make the debates and programmes as good as pos- sible. Believing as We do that debating is one of the best employments which boys may undertake, we feel that the past year has been spent most profitably. The Debaters wish to thank Mr. Hum- phrey for the time and attention he has de- voted to the club. That alumni who have been,Debaters still feel an interest in the Debaters is shown by the fact that at almost every meeting this year there has been one or more of our former members present. This year eight of our members graduate. The Seniors are Marvin Cary, Arthur Moses, Paul jones, Joseph Hawthorne, Fred Madi- son, Paul Stivers, Reuben Wester, and Don- ald Iohnson. Nearly all our graduates ex- pect to continue their education in higher schools. The second annual banquet of the De- baters will be held at the Coates House the evening of June IO, 1907. This banquet is an anuual feature for the Debaters, and af- fords. an opportunity for the meeting of our present, past and retiring members. ,,.l. The Debaters wish to take this opportu- nity to state their thanks to the HER.-NLD for publishing the cu't of the entire club. TH li W iis'i'PoR'r H its Mr. L'nderwood thanked the Debaters at our last meeting for the interest taken in the Inter-High-School Debates. He also spoke of the benefit derived from our meetings and debates. Both of the orations on the commence- ment programme will be given by Debater members. The members are Paul Tones and Paul Stivers, A new feature of especial interest to the Debaters was inaugurated in Vlfestport this year. The feature was the forming of a de- bating league with the high schools of Des Moines and Omaha. Each high school in the league had two teams, one, to debate at home, the other to debate abroad. Four of the six members of the VVestport teams were Debater members. The Annual Declamation Contest was won by Paul Jones, a Debater. The Debaters were entertained by the Osiron Society in an open meeting Friday H SCHOOL PIERALD. 71 evening, May 8. The Debaters enjoyed the evemng, especially the fun a't the expense of the Debaters. VVe wish to thank the Dsirons for their invitation, which was very highly appreciated. , y To enumerate the ofhcial positions held by Debater members in the various classes and organizations would be too great a task, so we only ask you to compare our roll of mem- bership with- the rolls of officers of the classes and organizations of the School. Much credit is due Mr. Jones and Mr. Stivers, our vice-presidents this year, for the work they have done in getting good subjects for the debates. After this successful year ther Debaters hope to have .a still greater year in the New Westport High School, with Inter- High- School debates and with the inauguration of at least one more debating society. Hoping to be with you next year in the greater West- port High School, webid you adieu. TRIANGULAR LEAGUE DE BATE. 'g For the Hrst time in the history of West- port High School, inter-scholastic debating has become an established fact. Westpolt was this year invited to. become a third party to a triangular inter-city debate, of wh1Qh ffhie other two members were the Omaha H130 School and the West Des Moines H1311 School. , Although Mr. Underwood hesitated to accept the invitation this year, on account 'Of the limited resources of our School and 1tS crowded condition, forcing us to use the Study Hall for all assemblies instead of AHC11 Library as formerly, he was finally pe1'SL12ld6Cl by Mr. Ricker, Principal of the West D95 Moines High School, to make- this year H starting-point for such debates in the futurii The plan was that a debate should be hel on the same evening in each of the three citiels ' ci to discuss the same question, and that 111 CH case the home team should support the affirm- ative side of the question agreed upon. This year the question debated was: Resolved, That the commission system of municipal government, combined with the re- call, initiative and referendum, offers the best plan yet proposed for the government of American citiesf, l On Friday afternoon, April Io, a prelim- inary contest was held and the following de- baters chosen. Affirmative, Mr. Leslie Hoh- man, Mr. Paul Stivers, Miss Gertrude Schauf- Her, negative, Mr. Arthur Hayum, Miss Le- da Craven, Mr. Paul Jones, alternates, Mr. Reuben VVester, Mr. Donovan Malcolmson. Unfortunately, Miss Schauffler, who had done excellent work in the preliminary contest, was forced to drop out, and Mr. Wester was Clwsen to. take her place, Mr. Paul Childs be- ing appcirted in turn to fill MT. WSSYSTS 72 THE WES1'POR'1A HMQH SCHOOL HERALD- place. Hard work followed during the'11CXt few weeks in preparation for the commgj fray and April 30 found the members of both 'teams with speeches duly prepared, and mOf6 than anxious for the Hnal conflict. GMAUA AT VVESTPORT. Vtfhat fear there may have been concern- ing the support of the debate' here, in the matter of attendance was quickly dispelled On the evening ofthe debate, May I, when the Study Hall was crowded to its fullest capac- ity, and this in spite of the unfortunate fact that High School day at Columbia, being the following day, attracted a great number of the Seniors and athletes. Great enthusiasm was shown when both teams entered the Study Hall and took their places at the tables arranged for them. Qui' boys labored under great disadvan- tages due to the fact that through a misun- derstanding in the correspondence, the num- ber of debaters had to be changed from three to two, which left out Mr. Wester, who, we are sure, wouldhave been of great assistance, and forced the other two boys to rearrange their entire arguments to include those of the third speaker. Mr: Leslie Hohman opened the debate for the affirmative and cleverly laid out the plan for the arguments of his side. He was fol- lowed by the opening speaker for Qmaha, Mr. Roe, whose arguments were well ar- ranged and excellently presented. Mr. Patil Stivers further supported the affirmative side of the question in a manner very conclusive to the audience, if not to the judges. Mr. Vance then closed the argument of the neg- ative, and, after a slight intermission, gave the refutation, which was very oratoricalr and undoubtedly won 'the decision of the judges for Qmaha. Mr. Hohman then gave the refutation for the affirmative and made us all proud of him. The decision was two to one in favor of the Omaha team, and while we were sorry to have lost this year, still, it is only our first attempt, and we will hope for better results next year. t VVESTPORT AT DES TWOINES. The three negative speakers who were to represent Westport at Des Moines, cheper- oned by Miss Hodshier, left Kansas City at noon Thursday, April 30, and after a most enjoyable trip reached Des Moines late in the evening of the same day.. They WCYC met gt the Savery Hotel, to which they had been directed by telegram, by Mr. Ricker and Mr. jordan, who had charge of the team there, and were informed of the programme of en- tertainment which had been provlded. The following morning a very enjoyable musical programme was given at an assem- bly, during which our team as well as that of our opponents was asked to occupy places on the stage, so that they might be displayed to the admiring eyes of the audience. Miss Craven, as representative of the Westport team, responded to the speech of welcome with a carefully prepared impromptu address. The afternoon was spent in rest and prep- aration for the evening confiict, which was held in the Assembly Hall of the High School. Mr. VVayne Pugh was the leader for the af- Hrmative and laid out the arguments along the line that the proposed system was the American way to govern cities. Mr. Arthur Hayum opened the debate for the negative and did credit td VVestport as well as to him- self. He was followed by Mr. Harl Eslick, affirmative, Miss Leda Craven. negative, Mr. john Corley, affirmative: and Mr. Paul jones, negative-all of whom, did work very deserv- ing of praise. Mr. Paul jones then gave the refutation for the negative, followed by Mr. Wayne Pugh, in the same capacity for the affirmative. All the members of the Des Moines team had given a debate before their School on the same subject and were well prepared, bo-th collectively and individually, to support their side of the question. To this we attribute the fact that the judges gave the decision to the Des Moines team, two to one. But the bitterness of losing was taken away to some extent by the cordiality shown to the visiting team. After a trip to the Cap- itol Building and the Historical Society, the following morning a luncheon was given at the Savery for the members of both teams and the chaperon of one and the instructors of the other. A track meet, in which Wfest Des Moines took part, was attended and greatly enjoyed in the afternoon. i Late in the evening the Wfestport team, tired and beaten, but not down-hearted left Des Moines. with great hopes for success next year PRIOR TO FIRE l ' 4 , if , ,,.,,. ,, ., ,,.., , , , 4 5, 1.

'QA Less than half a century ,ago Vkfestport, now the most important residential district of Kansas City, was a mere cluster of trading houses, and a tiny school supplied its educa- tional demands. NVestport has, however, late- ly proved so populous that the Board of Ed- ucation has chosen it for a fitting place in which to build the first of the schools in its extensive new system. The exterior of this new building is vit- rified brick, which surpasses all other bricks in strength, and l1as the valuable quality of looking subdued when new. The architecture is that. of the transitional period in England -far-famed for its beauty and adaptability to the accidents of landscape. The interior is constructed of reinforced concrete and steel, and is so arranged that hfteen hundred students can be acccommo- dated if whole-day sessions are possible. lf, however, half-day sessions are necessary, twice as many pupils ca11 be taught in its spacious, well-lighted rooms. Among many benefits to be enjoyed by those who will attend is that of manual training, which is considered most valuable by modern educators. Its importance lies in binding the ideal to the accomplishment. Thus an artist is helpless without techniqueg but if he can realize his ideals through tech- nique, with each new work he is raised to a higher level. A VVe will Hnd nowhere a IHOTC striking example of this idea than in the con- struction of this School, tl1e architect repre- senting the ideal and the laborers the tecl1- .F- nique, which, when combined, create so beau- tiful and practical a building. ' ' To provide for the teaching of this im-- portant branch, a machine-shop extensively equipped, a wood-turning room, a joinery, and all rooms needed in training young la- dies i11 housewifely duties are included in the plan. A commodious, well-lighted auditorium is under construction, where all future school events, such as lectures, debates, plavs, and the like, will be held. Here too, let us hope, will the South Side enjoy-the evenings with those who would reform social conditions and promote the general welfare. To gain mental activity, physical health must be stimulated. For this purpose there is a complete gymnasium measuring one hun- dred feet long by fifty-one feet wide. Qne story above the floor of the gymnasium, a race-track extends completely around the room. This gymnasium, in connection with the playground laid out near the School, will certainly insure a hardy race to Kansas Citv. The completed School will have cost the cit -e o,ooo. ' yTT1ie4 spirit of the new High School will be that of democracy, and the students will feel as though they were members of a great club seeking education. Let all,. therefore, who can appreciate beauty and efliciencv show loyaltv to the School, the embodiment of both, and work untiringly for the pure ideals it represents. Tom B. Root.
