It was erected with funds voluntarily subscribed by the grateful citizens of Kansas City. To this first president of the Park Commission, f 1892-1900, Kansas City owes her movement for the city beautiful. A careful study of the plan on the oppo- site page vvill be of great interest to VVest- port students. It opens a place for athletic events at our very doors.

VVe hope that, when the whole is opened up together to public reception, the little dusty corners in our departments will be passed over un- noticed. VVe feel that the work of the old faithful contributors of literary, art, and local ma- terial will be found good and appreciated as it has been before. But we wish to en- courage the maiden knights in these fields to match lances with the old veterans who, for all their popular favor and prestige, may have to yield their Herald laurels to fresh and more youthful vitality. Nevertheless on account, perhaps, of the distrust of novices in their powers, the Qld Guard, we are thankful to say have not failed us in helping to bear the brunt of the work on this num- ber. There has been much talk about the in- creased cost of the Herald. On account of the inexorable demands of all bidding print- ers for good pay, the price of the Herald though subsidized by a generous yearly gift from the Board of Education, and willingly supported by advertisers, whom we do not half appreciate-the former price of thirty- five cents was forced up to fifty cents. This was done lest the discrepancy between the selling price and the high cost, however much ameliorated by kind subsidy and lib- eral advertising, might be so great as not only to deprive us of a surplus with which to embellish the school with art, but even to leave us, so to speak, in the holef, a most deplorable plight. The Herald staff has become so besotted with drinking in locals that it would re- quire one too strong to put in the Heralld, to stimulate our inebriated senses to laugh- ter. Thus the keenest most poignant jokes escape our dulled appreciation. yet we should be given credit for giving the world a chance to test them. Likewise we hope that study of the lexi- con will be encouraged by the ingenious epithets and appellations, attached appro- priately or not as is to be decided on con- sultation, to the fair girl and brawny boy graduates. However, leaving you gentle reader in the more agreeable companionship of Noah VVebster, we humbly take leave of you. Stuart Updegraff, 'll. NVe wish, on behalf of the f'Herald, to thank all our contributors of every kind. Last termf we spoke of an intention to pub- lish, in this issue, a list of those who had done most for the paper. VVe need hardly repeat that all contributors have our hearty thanks, but especially, beside those with signed articles in both Mid.-Year and An- nual, we wish to thank the following who g, se work and interest has been constant and conscientious: Homer Cope, Wfilliam Cohn, Hicklin Yates, Samuel Ayres, Vera Nathan, S.

The Strength of the Strong F LATE years when the value of every second has been computel, the novel-and especially the short story-has become a more powerful tract than millions of didactic discussions. One of the latest to appear is a story purporting to be re- lated by a member of an aboriginal tribe called the Fish-eaters. .He tells how in the begin- ning they lived in isolated families, lawless, each man for himself. Then one day ten members of a tribe called the Meat-eaters came over the mountains and exterminated the families one by one, only a few escaping, aiding each other through fear of capture. From this struggle they had learned one les- son--each of the Meat-eaters, through their union, had gained the strength of ten. To protect themselves they must do the same. Now followed the period of their greatest power-a period when each man had an equal voice in the council. This did not continue long. They multiplied too rapidly for all to take part in the assembly, representation was unknown and one man acquired supreme con- trol. Tf anyone made a discovery or devised an implement, he was given the exclusive use of the same--and soon there existed an aggra- vated system of monopolies. All would-be reformers were murdered by the ruler's sol- diers, conditions grew worse and worse-but at last came a day of reckoning. The Meat- eaters came once more over the mountains and the over-centralized, monopoly-ridden state was powerless as the separate families had been in former days. But this is not alone the experience of fic- titious tribes of savages, Thousands of pages of history of past nations serve merely to prove the truth of this story. The danger of such an end is the gravest peril now menacing some of the present powers. Such must have been the fate of many tribes, long since ex- tinct, unrecorded, forgotten 'A' 'A i' 'k 'N i' Aboriginal man lived alone with his mate like the animals and killed what was necessary for food. But, like the animal in his solitary existence, his condition was necessarily weak. i' i i' 'A' 'A 'A' Gradually, very gradually, these relations spread, drawing more and more distant kins- men into the mutual bond until at last all of a common stock were banded together-and this was the clan. At length all men of a I4 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- certain territory. or of certain racial charac- teristics united under one common rule-and now we have the tribe. Iirom this it is but a short step to the more highly organized nation, and our tracing of primeval man to the con- dition in which history finds him is completed. But this was a slow growth-each stage took centuries to develop. Thus we see society was formed primarily for the purpose of protection and it is to gain the help of his fellows that leads man into social relations. The society thus created has certain duties toward its individual -units. Consideration of the'cause of its formation shows that the first duty must be the securing to men of their rights and compelling them to perform their duties. Aristotle has said: jus- tice is the bond of men in states, and the ad- ministration of justice is the principle of order inpolitical society. All men must have life, liberty and the freedom of the pursuit of hap- piness-this is a rule now almost universally recognized. But the securing to one of these rights depends on the assent and concurrence of all others. All men, however, will not deal justly if left to the guidance of their own will or fancy. Here arises the need for laws and authority to compel the units to obey the man- dates of society in general. It is self-evident that the more complicated human relations be- come, in just that ratio increases the need for individual restraint. In the past ages a fam- ily of fishers or hunters leading an isolated ex- istence in some lonely spot needed few laws, b-ut as it expanded into the clan, the tribe, the nation, the necessity for the impartial rod of authority increased until the complicated ex- istence of the present day is the result. This instrument used by society to secure its ends, the agent of the body politic, is gov- ernment. A group of savages eating shell- fish by the seashore has no written laws, no legislature, no courts, no president, but it has some customs that take the place of laws, and a head, as the father of the family or the chief of the tribe, who sees that the customs are fol- lowed. Government will always be rude and simple where society is rude and Simple .and will gi-ow and become powerful with society. But there will be government wherever there is society and society wherever there are men. 1 have said that man is weak, powerless, when outside the pale of society, when 110i united with his fellows, uniting his strength with theirs, gaining all their power, and re- strained by commo-n laws. He is equally weak where one individual or set of individuals restrains the wills of the many and, as was the case with the Fish-eaters, is blindly followed by the unwitting comm-oners. A race in such a state, when apparently at the height of its power, gradually reverts to its original weak- ness and loses all the strength of union. Such has been the history of nations. They have become stronger and stronger, then has followed an age of great prosperity when, materially, they appeared on the crest of the wave. But prosperity breeds corruption and over-confidence-internally they.were weak and suddenly they fell. In the days of her greatest integrity, Rome easily conquered' the wild Teutonic tribes and made them subjects of the city. But gradually from the time of Caesar and Pompey the government grew more and more centralized till at last Rome was equivalent to one man, the Emperor. And gradually also the people lost their former characteristics and became merely a huge .beast blindly following the man in power. And what was the result-over-centralization had produced weakness so when again the Teutonic hordes came down upon the land, they no longer found the well-led, well- manned legions of former times opposing them -and the mistress of the world was con- quered by a host of untrained savages. Several of the modern nations are now en- joying material prosperity to- an extent never before dreamed of and we of the United States are regarded as the acme of perfection in present day development. We are at pres- ent strong enough to render all fear of out- side intervention negligible-the question con- fronting us is: holding to our present course, can we ma Qf the 1'I'1O causes of 1 financial in this countr They have status and greater WC is to be fo us the gre: or drag 'ui often show fident it if ready thri companies privileges same posi ing undei monarchy I do n ment, but legal rule power m mulacrag America all huma indirectlj ment or If the o than any legal goi identical ceptiona the nat states ai ments: ganized consistii ends, b railroac olies. amples Schmid New H ception It is strongl mple and 1 society. ver there are men. owerless, vhen not strength and re- tlly weak dividuals s was the followed : in such ht of its al weak- n. ns.

I5 can we maintain our position as the greatest of the modern nations? Une of the chief causes of our present prosperity is the great financial institutions which have grown up in this country since the time of the Civil VVar. They have raised us to our present commercial status and they are still reaching out to work greater wonders. In this wonderful progress is to be found the germs that will either make us the greatest nation the world has ever seen or dragfus down to the dust. Experience has often shown that when a nation is most-con- fident it is many times in gravest danger. Al- ready through the influence of these gigantic companies many former individual rights and privileges are being destroyed. Are we in the same position as the Fish-eaters-are we fall- ing under the control of a corrupt financial monarchy ? I do not cry against a centralized govern- ment, but I do warn against a corrupt, extra- legal rule. Carlyle has said: A governing power must exist, your other powers are si- mulacra, this power is 'itf What is it in America? It is stated as a polit.cal axiom that all human societies are governed, directly or indirectly, by the strongest constituent ele- ment or elements in any given political entity. If the ordinary legal government is stronger than any element in the body politic, then the legal government and the real government are identical. But this condition is almost ex- ceptional in the United States. At times in the national government and frequently in states and cities, there have been two govern- ments: the legal government weak, badly or- ganized, corrupt, and the real government, consisting of men seeking office for personal ends, backed by public utility corporations, railroad companies, banks, trusts, and monop- 'olies. In city governments we have the ex- amples of Tammany in New York and Schmidt and Ruef in San Franicsco. In states New York and Pennsylvania, stand, not ex- ceptional, but as types. It is a universal law that all society is strongly ruled-it cannot exist under a weak government. If the legal government is inef- fective, a strong, extra-legal power will gain the upper hand and usually in such cases the people are cruelly and harshly ruled. The choice of the people lies between a strong, just government and a strong, cruel govern- ment. And they must be educated to make their choice. The struggle in the United States today, one manifestation of which is insurgency, is to re- move the go-vernment from the real seat of power to the legal one. The legal seat of government is Washington, but the real center is Wall Street. To deny this is useless-the United States today is in the hands of the money power and we are just wakening to our condition. The country is governed by a strongly centralized power wh-ose throne is VVall Street, and there it will remain till the general government is given enough power to attract the true government to Washington. The present well organized systems of rail- roads, banks, and trusts form a powerful na- tional authority. An equally strong govern- ment, organized by men of equal power, with equal efficiency, must exist before we may hope to separate the national administration from the corporate interests. We talk of driv- ing the corporations out of politics-this is im- possible. What we must do is to give the legal government enough power to again con- trol the financial interests. lfVe have been looking-we arehlooking for a way to accomplish this, for a remedy for the prevailing evils. Is it revolution, or anarchy, or socialism, or nihilism? No, none of these, but one much more simple and effective, with more lasting results than all. It is popular ed- ucation. The masses must be educated- to the point where they may not only know which is the best course to follow, but to the point where they are willing to put self aside and work for the good of the nation. The successful operation of a highly or- ganized government intimately depends upon the character of the citizens. What forms this character but the instruction they receive I6 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. -and herein lies the importance of education. But this training must not be hap-hazard. It is most important that it have regard to the institution under which the people live. The education which would do for children of a monarchy would be entirely inadequate for the inhabitants of a republic or democracy. In the former ease the ignorance of one genera- tion might not influence the character of the government, but who can measure the results were such to be the case in a republic. W'ash- ington, our great po-litical -prophet-gigantic in his foresight as in everything-in his Fare- well Address, insisted that the more potent public opinion is ini any country, the greater the need of its being intelligent, and he might have added particularly upon political sub- jects. Therefore, to make the people see the need of the hour, to make them understand that the legal government must be given 'power to con- trol the corporate interests, popular education must come. The powers of the government must increase as the powers of forces and in- stitutions increaseg the government which was the real power a century ago would be inef- ficient in this age of monstrous business cor- porations. But the citizen must be educated in the problems of the day, and in his p-ower to control them. He must be made to see and realize the power of the corporations. He must be educated to know what power the government has and what it needs. But most of all he must be forced to understand his duty as a voter on whom the destinies of the nation rest and must be forced to exert his in- fluence through his suffrage in favor of right, justice, and good government, so that this nation may not meet with the fate of the Fish- eaters, but may increase and prosper. When this is done we will need fear no longer the extra-legal power, but our government will be truly of the people, by the people, and for the people. SIDNEY ALTsCHULER, '1l. THREE PINES.

It is this tendency of human na- ture that has led to the great progress made in bettering the conditions of humanity, for, as society changed and advanced from its primi- tive state, so nations began to feel the need of changes in their laws, religions, and learning. Hope tithe hope that springs eternal in the human breast -hope for freedom, hope for equality, hope for the uplift of mankind, has been the fundamental motive for every step in the world's advancement. , But these changes have not been brought about by the struggles of an hour or of a clay. On the contrary, all great revolutions -those that have contributed most to civil and religious liberty and to the enlightenment of mankind-have been of obscure origin and slow growth. Providence, upon all occa- sions, in order to accomplish its designs, is prodigal, of courage, virtues, sacrifices-linab ly, of man: and it is only after a vast number of attempts apparently lost, after a host of noble hearts have fallen into despair-that the cause triumphs. Christ was a revolutionist-the greatest revolutionist of all. His was a revolution that has surpassed all others in its marvelous re- sults. It was a revolution that has endured for twenty centuries and will endure for all time, because its doctrines taught men love-that love which 'has moulded people into nations whose greatest aim is the welfare of all hu- manity. In the teaching of philosophy, men have arisen whose keen observations have revolu- tionized the world, bringing enlightenment to all. Diogenes, with his lantern, seeking for an honest man, was groping for a foot-hold to quell the powers of vice and superstitution. He is typical of the multitude of great minds, that in the centuries since have tried to lead men nearer the absolute truth. Then, there have been orators who have striven to raise the tide of patriotism among their fellow-men. Demosthenes, by his ora- tory, learned upon the shores of the Mediter- ranean, swayed the Greeks to higher and nobler ideals. Cicero, in his famous oration against Catiline, stirred up the waning patriot- ism of the Romans. Nations at the times of their crises have always produced such men. Some of the greatest revolutions of the world have been waged for religious freedom. With the posting of Martin Luther's theses in 1517, there began that great religious up- heaval, known as the Reformation. It was a struggle for the emancipation of the human mind, and for the suppression of the tyran- nical powers which were controlling it. It was a revolution that still sways the world, one that was the forerunner of the world- wide movement for religious freedom, typi- fied in the American Constitution. just as men have sacrificed their lives in order to create newer and better ideas in re- ligion and- philosophy, so they have willingly given up life warring for the cause of liberty and equality. T For love of country a handful of Greeks hurled back the vast hordes of Xerxes at Thermopylae. Hannibal crossed the Alps and overthrew the Romans to preserve the auton- omy of Carthage. The Cantons of Switzerland struggled for years for love of home. For the seven centuries, since the Barons forced Magna Charta from King john at Runnymede, the English Constitution has been growing and broadening under the iniquence of civil and religious liberty. But free govern- ment in England did not come without fierce conflicts on many fields. It is only through 18 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. p the courage of Anglo-Saxon blood, evidenced by revolutions and wars, that the sun of lib- erty now shines around the world on the Eng- lish-speaking race. The battle of Hastings, the infusion of the Normanblood through VVilliam, the Conqueror, the Wlars of the Roses, the cruel struggle led by the stern Cromwell, the fall of the Second james through VVilliam of Grange, the Continental wars of john of Marlborough, and, crowning all, the victory of Nelson at Trafalgar, were elements in the movement of the Anglo-Saxon toward the highest civilization in history. The same conclusion is reached when we take as an example, the history of the Hugue- nots in France, in whom were bred the bone and sinew of the French nation throughout their years of persecution and suffering. Saint lt3artholomew's Day was not without its influ- ence on generations to come, the lives of many thousand heroes were-not sacrificed in vain, for the echoes of that day were heard through- out the world. The French Revolution, though carried be- yond the bounds of lawful war into the Reign of Terror, was fought for the rights of the common people. It was terminated by Napoleon who then seized the opportunity of creating a greater France. But he became dic- tator of Europe, and, in turn, was overthrown because his boundless ambition threatened the liberties of the race. The American Revolution was a protest against the exercise of despotic power and against the suppression of human rights. Inde- pendence won the day because men loved lib- erty and justice more than they feared the fire of the musket and death by the sword. At the present time, many countries are awakening to the drift of the world toward higher life and better ideals. The unrest of the Russian serf and the Siberian exile have forced from the Czar the promise of the Douma, bringing with it the dawn of a consti- tution. The young Turks, just realizing the trend of the world's thought, have overthrown the sick man of the East, and are fighting for a constitution that will wipe out the dark- est blot on Turkish history. Portugal reS611t6Cl the immoral life of Don Manuel, and, by driv- ing him from the throne, laid down a precedent of righteous living-not only for the lOWC.Sf subject of the kingdom but for the monarch as well. VVars and bloodshed have played their part in the worldls development. Now, the stage has been reached where peaceful questions of even greater moment are engaging the atten- tion of civilized people. Among them one of the most perplexing is the equalizing of the relative rewards of labor and capital. The square dealy' is helping to solve the problem of increasing the earning capacity of men to a point comparatively equal to the increased cost of their living. This is a matter for the pres- ent generation to settle through an aroused public sentiment rather than through strikes, lock-outs, and bloodshed. Andrew Carnegie says that to accomplish this result the waste of blood and treasure in war must cease. It looks as if he were right. At all events, the Hague Tribunal has settled disputes between nations that might otherwise have caused disastrous wars. The Russo-jap- anese struggle was terminated under the treaty of Portsmouth by the force of character of an American statesman, one of the greatest since Lincoln. From an economic standpoint, that was probably the greatest single achieve- ment in two decades, and the Nobel Peace Prize was well awarded in recognition of the work. Tn our own country, during the last fifty years, a great power has been growing and thriving on men's necessities, until the ,public conscience has led us almost to the point of peaceful revolution. This upheaval is typical of all the revolutions of the past that have been waged in the name of human rights. Like all such movements whose aim is for the gen- eral good, this one will be of slow growth, will have its victories and defeats, but, in the end, it will triumph as like movements in the past have triumphed. , Thus, t intellectuz come to li ance to ir wars may and dethi still mart the vas may lor far as t One hc the bus a certaf a vital, city as lt requ of us l mencec but be its fou the ris Tn t was a town 1 short 1 was a beginn Rocki' Gulf 2 Cities have 5 have great histor tells early memc the dark- Ll resented l, by driv- precedent he lowest s monarch their part the stage estions of the atten- zm one of ng of the ital.

Revolutions and wars may come and gog kings may be created and dethroned, but the invincible soul of man still marches on in progress toward the light, toward the right, toward liberty in conformity to law. May it be that the day will come when the cause of righteous revolution will lead us where the war drums throb no longer and the battle flags are furled in the parliament of man, the federation of the worldf' GENEVIEVE M. HERRICK, 'l1. Old Qtlindaro OUBTLESS you have at some time stood upon the roof of one of Kan- sas City's skyscrapers and viewed the vast city spread out below you. One may look in almost any direction, and as far as the eye can see, the city stretches on. One hears the hum of business life, sees the bustling activity of a vast city, and feels a certain sense of pride that they belong to a vital, throbbing community. But such a city as this does not spring up in a night. lt requires growth and development. Many of us little realize that this city was com- menced three miles above the present site, but because of the misplaced judgment of its founders, soon became overshadowed by the rising city further down the river. ln the early part of the last century it was a common everyday occurrence for a town to spring up and gain prominence in a short time, Ours was a building nation. lt was a time of expansion. The country was beginning to grasp hold of the mighty Rockies, reaching out on the one hand to the Gulf and on the other to the Great Lakes. . Cities were being built numerously. Some have gone down to utter ruin, while others have become the pulsating centers of the great XYest. There is no chapter in Kansas history that is more pathetic than that which tells of the rise and fall of some of the early towns. Today they exist only in the memory, or perhaps ruins bear a silent tes- timony to the misplaced judgment of brave and loyal men. Such was Quindaro, founded in 1856, by men eager for the building of a nation. Kan- sas at this time was a state much embroiled in political issues, but the greatest question was whether Kansas should be a free or a slave state. This was left to her own dis- cretion, and as a result both free and slave- holding men poured into her territory. Those were the blackest days in all the an- nals of Kansas' history. 'Men of both sides ravaged, burned and even slew for their cause, such was their advocacy. The men who first came and settled Quin- daro were Free State men from New Eng- land, men who were brawny and fearless, men who held a religion and a faith grounded in firm and deep principles. These men knew what it meant to leave their comfortable New England abodes for homes on the Kansas frontier. They realized what it meant to leave a peaceful community to enter into a border warfare. But they were men of principle, of religion, who, if neces- sary, would lay down their lives that their principles might be sustained. The Free State men wanted a t'Port of Entryn of their own on the Missouri River. Leavenworth and Wlestport Landing were either neutral or dominated by Southern sympathizers. The town was called Quin- daro after the name of 'one of the settlers. The river at this point makes a big bend, 20 Tl-IE wEsTPoRT H1oH SCHOOL HERALD- !

The town was started off with a boom. Men with their families poured in. Many thought it would become the great commercial cen- ter of the West. The town was platted out into 5,355 lots and the construction of a levee commenced. A landing-place about a quarter of a mile long and from one hundred and sixty to two hundred and forty feet wide was built along the water front. At either end of this, reser- vations were made for mills, factories and even railroad shops, so great were the ex- pectations of the founders. Quindaro was to be the county seat, and perhaps the capi- tal of the state. A large public square was reserved so there would be a suitable place for municipal, county and state buildings. Extremely wide avenues were laid out and these were all lettered and numbered. A few rods from the river a stone hotel with forty guest rooms was built. It was one of the prides of the town and even of the state. Many substantial houses were going up and Quindaro was becoming a Queen City of the VVest.f' A newspaper was started. It was called the Chindowan after on Indian name meaning leader. The editor was an energetic man, just the right kind to boost a new town. This paper was distributed throughout eastern circles. 'It created interest and brought in eastern money and inliuence. Even Horace Greely declared that Quindaro would be the great metropolis of the middle West. VVarehouses were built for the storage of goods the steamboats would bring in, and indeed they soon began to make bi-weekly trips between this town and St. Louis. A public fund was raised to encourage industries, Out of this fund a ferry was established between Park- ville and Quindaro. Another part was set aside to encourage railroads to build through the town.

ZI Civic spirit ran high. The town was growing by rapid strides. State conven- tions and denominational assemblies met there. More families flocked in. It looked as if the founders' hopes were to be realized. The town government was of the pure, clean, democratic New England type. Churches were built and a public school established. lt was a temperance town from the first, and lots were sold with a clause in the deeds that would keep it so. Quindaro started off with a boom, but his- tory has shown us that the indications were false. At the very time when the growth of the town demanded its men, the Civil Wlar came, and the men being true followers of Lincoln, left for the front. When the sur- vivors returned, the town had ceased to be. The railroad had left her, and men's inter- ests had turned in another direction, for Kansas City was fast becoming a business center. Quindaro was forgotten, became a part of the past. The ruins of this old town are just outside of Kansas City, Kansas. It is but an hour's walk up the river, and it would pay anyone to take the trip. Out there one forgets the city and its busy life. One can see the same hills and the same streams that greeted the first pioneer of Quindaro. VValking along the foot of those bluffs, fol- iage-covered as they are, one is not surprised that men were attracted to the spot. Below one lies the Missouri, running slugglishly along. You become engrossed in the scen- ery and reach Quindaro before you realize it. VVhat is left of the old town sets back in a ravine some few rods from the river, there being only three or four old ruins left. Al- most hidden beneath a mass of creeping, thick-leaved vines, inhabited by owls and bats, infested with snakes and insects, the gray walls are slowly crumbling-down' from age and decay. The most prominent ruin is that of the THE OLD FORT 22 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. old fort. One wall, perhaps sixty feet high, remains standing, although a little warped with age. The other wall has crumbled somewhat. High up on these can be seen the portholes, whose purpose became one of ornament rather than use.

A little distance to the WGSY Of the fort is a huge bluff, such as is common along the Missouri. After a strenuous climb, one gains the summit of this hill and is at once impressed with the distant view that can be had. On close examination the ground is found to be covered with small mounds and you realize that you are standing on the graves of early settlers. You wonder l i e 2 Roms OF AN OLD DWELLING But time has wrought great changes upon this as well as upon the rest. The opening upon the side of the river has become filled with driftwood and lost to sight. Xhfhen the railroad company built its road through the town, a portion of the tunnel caved in. It has now become so clogged that one C311 only proceed a few feet into its interior.

Une long why such a sightly and at the same time such an unhandy place was chosen for a cemetery, Some of the mounds are un- marked.

Standing before such a grave, one bends his head in quiet veneration. Pausing before graves like these, one can in his imagination go back and experience, as it were, the life of some of these people. One can see them breaking New England home ties and coming west to help build a state and sustain a principle. lle can picture the toiling of the men as they built homes, and the helpful- ness of the women as they strived to furnish these homes with meagre comforts. Qne can picture a flourishing town in the early 60's sending all its able-bodied men to the front and then see a few, a very few, re- turning to find the place deserted. But the whistle of an approaching locomo- tive breaks in upon the scene, and we again see the ruins of the deserted town. Looking to the east we can see the hazy, smoky cloud that hangs over the city. To the north, faintly outlined against the hills, can be seen the buildings composing Park College. To the south, on a neighboring hill, is Quindaro College for negroes. Here within the range of our vision is a vast metropolis and schools for both races of people. Qne cannot help but think of the vast change that has come over the Ameri- can people during the last Hfty years. Then negro education was a thing un- dreamed of, now it is a reality. Then edu- cation in general was meagre, but now it is to be had on every hand. Then the great cities were few, and Kansas City had not, as yet, taken her place among the few. Quin- daro helped to blaze the way for much of future development. lt was the decline of Quindaro that helped along the growth of Kansas City. Now the history of Quindaro can be found only in musty volumes, and we have almost forgotten that it ever ex- isted. But let us remember tiat Quindaro played a significant part in the growth of the Southwest, and occupied a most vital position in the early history of Kansas City. . DQNALD E. BLACK, 'll. The Services of Samuel Adams in the War of the Revolution tThis essay won third prize in the Sons of the American Revolution Contest for 1911.1 X reading over the history of the struggle of the liiritish colonists in n America for the preservation of their civil rights, from the beginning of llritain's unfortunate oppressive policy to the declaring of independence by a Con- gress of Americans, we are struck with the repeated reappearance of Massachu- setts in struggles with the encroachments of llritish tyranny on civil rights. Espec- ially is this truc of the tense period between the close of the lfrench and lndian iXYar and the outbreak of the Revolution. Partly because of her wealth and commercial im- portance, partly because of her homogeniety of population, largely because of the stern Puritan blood in the veins of her inhab- itants, and above all because of her system of folk-motes, cycle upon cycle, and the active participation of her sons in the great- est and smallest affairs of government, did Massachusetts come to be the great and activelleader of the colonies in contests for home authority and in all civil crises. ln 24 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. like manner and for like reasons did Boston come to control Massachusetts and to dic- tate her policies, and finally to be the stage of the policies, the struggles and crises of a continent. And how completely Clifl 5211111161 Adams come to control Boston, and to what purpose, we shall soon see. Samuel Adams made possible the Wfar of the Revolution, by bringing about the Dec- laration of Independence. This is a start- ling statement, but it is true nevertheless. The independence of the American colonies was his vision, his mission, early conceived --as early as 1765, says Hutchinson-when none else dreamed of such a thing, con- stanly striven for during his whole career with all the resources of his almost unim- aginable authority and prestige, with all the powers of a consummate politician, with all the fervor and intensity of a burning soul, wholly unshared by others almost down to the very Declaration itself. How com- pletely he was alone in his ideal is shown by the fact that throughout the First Con- gress and even later he was looked upon as a fanatic, and that even amid his closest associates and co-workers he stood alone in the advocacy of American independence. This last gives some idea of the difficulties which constantly beset him, it cannot dis- close them all. The very fact of his being solitary in his ideal made a gulf which it was hard to cross. Sometimes his great power was in itself an obstacle. Beside keeping himself as much as possible in the background, he had constantly to fight the power of the Loyalists, men who supported the king often from the sincerest convic- tions, and especially in this regard Thomas Hutchinson, Massachusetts' last royal gov- ernor in peace and by civil authority, a man always patient, much enduring and much misrepresented . and vililied. VVith him Adams waged a battle royal, keenly con- tested but ever dignined, until at last Hutch- inson's power was overthrown by measures not wholly innocent of trickery-the famgug Hutchinson Letters. It was not only loy- alists but reactionaries in his own ranks with whom Adams had to contend. More: he had constantly to struggle against an indecisiveness, an inglorious supineness in his own countrymen, where to falter was to lose all. But above all,'crowning all, what in fact amounted to his life work, he was obliged to make his own public opinion. In 1760 the colonists were, it is true, firmly set against yielding one jot or tittle of their ancient privileges, but nevertheless were they loyal sons of England. Their firmly protestant stand on their rights was merely a part of their English heritage. These men never dreamed of separation from the mother-country. Not until the days of Con- cord and Lexington was there borne in upon them the necessity of the step. But Adams had dreamed of it long before. During all these years he had gradually so wrought upon their minds and hearts that when at last the time came they were ready for the step. One can hardly conceive of such a power, such an authority and prestige. It must have appeared wonderful to Adams him- self. It seems hardly possible to us now- a-days. W'hence, then, was it? It is a characteristic of the glorious pa- triots those stern times produced, that to a devoted fervor, an intensity and sublimity of vision they added a cool practicality that was principally concerned with the means thereto. And Adams was no exception. His literary remains bear witness to a strong style, unburdened with ornament, not in the least rhetorical, but capable of a fire and a fervor and of transmitting that fire and fervor to other breasts. His logic WHS good always, often irreproachable, and, all-important, convincing.

Others made joyful over the repeal of the Stamp Act, he saw the accompanying De- claratory Act and foresaw further trouble. His energy was prodigious. He was never at rest. lt was nothing unusual for him to serve on several committees, write a dozen state papers, and manage the Assem- bly, all at once. This strong man who ate little, slept little, talked much and thought constantly naturally excited not a little ven- eration comminglecl with awe, not only in the sturdy yeomanry, but in his own asso- ciates. He knew well how to use his vast powers. A thousand master-strokes proclaim him a consummate politician. Witness the famous affair of the Sam Adams Regiments, for whose removal from the town of the Boston Massacre Adams was directly responsible, witness the consummate skill that inaugur- ated the Committee of Correspondence in the face of public indifference, the Hutch- inson Letters, with the overthrowal of the governor's power, witness the epoch-mak- ing Boston Tea Party, witness the election in the Massachusetts Assembly, of dele- gates to the First Continental Congress under the very nose of the bewildered Gage. Sometimes we find even a touch of trick- ery in his methods, the affair of the Hutch- inson Letters is not wholly defensible. But no man was more utterly unself-seeking in his ends. Whatevfer he did was done for the public good. His end once gained he was wholly careless of the means. Papers which would have established his claim to a position among the greatest he either de- stroyed or left lying at hap-hazard. ' He was'forever instilling into promising young men of parts his own advanced ideas. Again-and what really constituted one of his greatest services-he brought forward and introduced to popular favor many a one of the glorious band of Massachusetts patriots. Hancock, John Adams, VVarren, and a dozen others. all owed to him their introduction upon the national stage. These men, whose works are a part of our national heritage, were thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the times,-that is, with the spirit and ideals of Samuel Adams. Behind their brilliancy he would hide him- self, so that the people saw not the mover of it all, but only the figures in the fore- ground.. But perhaps Adams' greatest single feat and the greatest aid to the spread of his ideas, was the establishment by Boston of the Committee of Correspondence. This had for its object the closer binding together of the men of Massachusetts and of the col- onies general, by taking advantage of the inviolable right of man to communicate and confer with each other. It was Samuel Adams' own plan, the consequences of which no one foresaw, neither friend nor foe. And the consequences were swift to follow. A perfect net-work of similar com- mittees in a trice covered Massachusetts and quickly spread throughout the colonies. They were a power without the law, because based on an inalienable right, everywhere was their influence, spreading intelligence, cognizance of rights, and hopes and brother- ly sympathy. It was the first great step toward unity. Hence we seem to be obliged to credit to Samuel Adams one more serv- ice rendered to independence and the nas- cent nation. But we strike at the secret of Adams' power when we refiect that he was, essen- tially, a man of the town-meeting. This remarkable system is nearly dead today, even in its old strongholds, but in those days its supremacy, especially in Massachusetts, was absolute. And over these little basic folk-motes was the Assembly, itself a folk- mote, in that it was composed, not of repre- sentatives acting within their own judg- ments, but of deputies acting under instruc- tions, often minute, from their parent town- meetings. Thus the whole legislative system was based directly on the individual. And Samuel Adams was essentially a man of the people. He was close to the sturdy yeo- 26 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. manry upon whom the system reposed. .Xgain, among the other patriots every one had either his moments of rash vindictive- ness or of indecisiveness. Adams alone was felt to be cool, calm, at all timesg cautious and calculating, strong and undeviating,-a tower of strength, a rock not to be shaken by any storm. So, in decisive moments, when all hung by a thread, in his CLIIIITIHQ' strength and unninching manliness lloston was wont to repose her troubles and her fears. In like manner, by the aid of his co-workers, by his burning articles, by his Committee of Correspondence, did he mould public opinion throughout IXIassachusetts, until the actions and decisions of Boston were echoed by the other towns, and so at last conhrmed by the Assembly and re- echoed from north to south. His power was great, almost inconceivably great, but it all rested upon his fundamental relations as man to man. After Concord and Lexington, after the appointment of Wfashington as commander- in-chief over the Continental armies, a de- cree went forth which shall never be re- calledfl' It was the Declaration of Indepen- dence, passed, contemporaries bear witness, principally by Samuel Adams, efforts. At last he had realized his vision, the dream of his life had come true. Samuel Adams' distinctive work ended with the Declaration of - Independence. During the years of the Wfar of the Revo- lution, during the actual fighting, he re- mained in Congress and was most active in that bodv, zealously supporting Wfashing- ton, always full of hope and strength even in the gloomiest days, serving on a thousand important committees and tending to a thou- sand matters at once. llut his distinctive work ended with the Declaration of Inde- pendenceg the struggle was then transferred to the field and was entrusted to other hands than his. Fifteen years are not a long time, but they have often, especially among peoples that governed themselves, been productive of great changes, great influences that have changed the course of history. But it is almost safe to say that nowhere in the worldls history have there been fifteen years so pregnant with great results as those that transformed loyal English subjects-firmly protestant indeed against injustices, but loyal nevertheless,-into a nation of free and independent Americans. It seems almost too much to credit this to one man. There were potent causes working and an All- seeing Purpose, nor must we forget to give Parliament and the Ministry their full share, but as far as it could be the work of one man, we must credit this transformation to Sam- uel Adams. In this are bound up all his services, as parts in a whole. To it he de- voted his all, and won-Eternity. , l ' EDXNARD NN. MOSES, Ill.

THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOGL HERALD. 27 Brant IFTER twenty years of absence I re- turned to my native city. I came not as a friend to revisit the place of my birth, but, as you remember, in the ranks of the royal army which was ordered hither by the Emperor to frighten certain re- bellious subjects. So I was not everjoyed at the prospect of return, because I feared that some of my old friends might be engaged in the conspiracy against the Emperor. Wlhat qualms I had, however, were all dis- pelled when we arrived. The gates were fiung wide. Crowds thronged the roofs, filled the win- dows and fiowed over into the streets. Every mouth was filled with acclamations for his majesty. Every balcony was hung with the im- perial banners. As we passed along the street the din of voices was deafening. lt drowned our drums, it silenced our bugles, Napoleon l . Napoleon lf K'I,ong live 1 1 the Emperor !' burst from every mouth. I recognized many a lusty voice and saw many faces that I had known in my childhood. My breast was filled with pride as I rode my white horse at the head of my battalion. As we passed, il, noted with great pleasure every familiar window, every door and each pointed roof. Everything was beautiful in my eyes. THE FACE There was nothing that had not a score of pleasant memories hanging about it. It was late afternoon when we entered, and the evening found the troops encamped on the square. The officers were quartered in the lodging houses. To one of these I betook myself. Un knocking I was admitted to the smoky bar, where I encountered a man who was on the point of leaving. As I did not see him at first and as I blocked his exit, he was constrained to ask me to let him pass. . Pardon me, sirf, he said, 'twill you kindly let me go? The voice was some- how familiar. It caused me to start and to look intently upon my 265-0- tzis. If the voice was familiar, the face was doubly sog yet for a mo- ment I could not re- member it. Then a cry of recognition broke simultaneously from our lips. '4It is you, Nesbitfl he cried. 2-Xnd you, Tombreauf' H It was indeed my boyhood companion, Pierre Tombreau, whom I had neither seen nor heard of for many long years. Vtfe fairly embraced in our gladness, and after a full five minutes of handshaking and many ques- tions that poured from our lips and got no answers, nor needed any, my friend captured 28 THE wEsTPoRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- me and bore me away to his l1OUSC, Wllefe he insisted that I should stay.

I accommodated him and ate the delicious roast and drank freely of his old wine. I gradually grew to esteem myself as a hero and diligently set forth my reasons for this conclusion. The wine lent great impetus and fire to my tales. The kind applause of my friend urged me into a sort of oratorical fury that grew as I became more and more aware of my powers. I fumed for Tombreau like a spirited war horse. I roared like a cannon, with my fist I pounded the table as cannons pound the field. Time fled and Tombreau finally suggested that we adjourn to another room where we could smoke. As a farewell to the field on which I had just fought so eloquently, I bawled a toast to the Emperor. Tombreau clicked glasses with me and we both raised the wine to our lips. I did not drink, though. My eyes fell on a mirror just then, which hung on the side wall. It reflected the door by which we had entered, and, glowering from the gloom of the passage, I beheld a face. Inky eyebrows lowered in a black frown above long, narrow, tilted eyes. Full lips were bent into a sneer- ing smile that displayed sharp white teeth. The smooth oval cheeks were pale, and the candle light caused the face to stand out lividly from the darkness into which the black hair faded, losing the deflnite contour of the head. Those long glittering eyes saw my emotion, for I felt strangely embarrassed when I met them in the mirror. The sneer yielded to 3 fascinating smile and almost immediately a soft, musical voice sounded from behind I have come home earlier than I thought I could, fatherf' it said. A tall young man came forward into the light of the candles. He was well turned and gr3CefUl HS 3 Cat- HG looked a smiling question from me to Tom- breau while he drew the gloves from his long fingers. and flung his cloak into the hands of a servant. This, Brant, is Captain Nesbit, of whom I have often spoken. He has been kind enough to promise us his company during his stay in this cityf' I . The young man and I exchanged bows, and after he had tossed off a glass of wine we three adjourned to another room, where we lighted pipe and sat down to an evening of conversation. This Brant had a fund of anecdotes which he told with much dramatic vigor. He proved to be a most charming man. Yes, charming is the word, for one could not disobey those long dark eyes and white teeth. When they said laugh, it was a command that one must obey, yet a command that one often obeyed against onefs will. Those eyes of his were as effective in the ghoulish stories, o-f which he told a score, as in the mirthful tales. One of these was about a little sheathed poniard that lay on a table close by. Brant said he had bought it of a man condemned to die for a murder which had been committed with it. I-Ie had been induced to buy the dagger, he said, because of the superstition connected with it. The murderer, so went the story, had had it from a man convicted of murder, and he, in turn, had purchased it from an assassin who was doomed to die, and so on back through many years of crime. It had come to be thought that the stiletto was possessed of a supernatural power. Wfhen- ever the blade was unsheathed, the legend ran, it must kill. There was no hand that could resist this strange magic, Brant leaned over on hnishing his story, and with a laugh plucked the bright little blade from its jeweled scabbard.

Good night, Brant. :lo the evening was ended and in a few minutes I found myself in a great comfort- able four-posted bed. In a sort of dozing half wakefulness I thought of Tombreau's son, who had made a strange impression upon me. Cn the verge of sleep I would sec his long, tilted eyes sparkling from the face of a wolf with wide opened jaws, or again I would see Brant playing with the shining poniard. I am not, however, ad- dicted to lying awake long after I have gone to bed. I turned over, therefore, and slept. I remember waking later, with the impres- sion that I had heard a door close, very gently, somewhere. But I fell asleep im- niediately. A I was again awakened by a sound of con- fused voices. They seemed to be distant and gradually became louder as though they were coming rapidly closer-perhaps along the street that ran to the square and which passed beneath my window. Suddenly I heard the steps of someone running and then the door below was flung open and slammed shut. A great noise of angry voices burst out close .at hand. I rushed io the window to see several soldiers run- ning down the street toward the house. They were followed by a number of towns- people who were making the clamor. XYhen the crowd came beneath the win- dow I hailed the soldiers and asked them what the disturbance was about. An assassin has murdered the General, came from below, has anyone passed here? It seemed that he took this directionf, I replied that I had thought I heard foot- steps, and they set out immediately on their mad chase. I called after them when they had gone some distance. I had been so shocked by the terrible news that I had forgotten to ask more about the murder.. A confused cry from the rapidly fleeing crowd was the only answer I got. From the jumbled words, however, I pieced out that there had been a rebel plot for the murder of the General and his staff, but that several of the assassins had been siezed before they could carry out their plan, and only one, who had stabbed the General, had escaped with nothing more than a rapier wound in the shoulder. VVhile I was buckling on my sword and pistols, preparatory to going forth for further knowledge of the affair, I heard Tombreau on the stairs calling to me to know what had happened. He did not, however, pause for an answer, but hurried on down and I heard him open the door below to look out. I followed shortly in his tracks and was on the stairs when I heard a cry from the dark below and a hoarse whisper. For God's sake, father,', came the whis- per, Don't make a noise or that damned captain of yours will give me over to the hounds. The caution was unnecessary, however, for I had already half descended. There in the flickering light from a horn lamp overhead, I saw Tombreau standing, and leaning against the wall stood his son-his breast heaving, his head hung down and his right hand clutching his left shoulder which was wet with blood. When he heard my steps, he looked up and started forward, reeled and fell face down on the floor. Something dropped from his left hand. It clattered on the boards and lay beside the 30 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. prone figure. A ray of light glinted red from the thing. It was the dagger, wet with blood. I looked at Tombreau. He had sunk back against the door. A terrible emotion tortured his features. The pale light re- vealed a horrible struggle in his starting eyes and gaping mouth. I-Iis twitching lips formed words that were not uttered. Une twisted hand writhed on his breast and the other spread white against the dark door behind him. I knelt down by the body to ascertain if there was still breath there, and as I knelt I heard the voices of those who were re- turning from the fruitless chase. I hoped that my hand would tell me that Tom- breauls son was dead, because I knew what my duty would compel me to do if he lived. The flesh was warm, the breast rose and fell under my fingers. I would have to de- liver the assassin into the hands of the searchers, whose steps were even now dis- tinct on the flags of the street without. A murderer and a rebel lay before me. His father and my friend stood beside me and laid a horror-palsied hand on my shoul- der as the steps grew more distinct. Bly military duty and my hate for the murderer contended against a terrible pity for my old friend. My duty was irresistable and I was pressed cruelly on as the voices came closer from without. The supplicating terror in the father's face urged me to desperate, frantic resistance, but I gave step by step before a great fear-the fear of the court martial and execution. I fought as though I were being urged toward a precipice, but fought in vain. Each step of the approach- ing feet pushed me indisputably closer to the verge of the act. 0 that the warm flesh beneath my fingers could have ceased heav- ing before the men should have passed by the door. I rose and confronted Tombreau. For a moment I yielded to the trembling hand that was laid on my shoulder. Then, as in a dream, I walked to the door and flung it wide just as the returning party stood without. . 'roM B.

WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 31 In an effort to monopolize the fur trade of the XYest, in 1821 the American Fur Com- pany sent Francis Chouteau, with thirty men, into this territory to establish new trading posts and to bring independent fur traders into subordination to a larger hrm. Accordingly in that same year Chouteau built a warehouse and started a small set- tlement about three miles below the junc- tion of the Kaw and the Missouri rivers. This was the first settlement made by white men in the territory which now embraces Greater Kansas City. In the spring of 1826 the small settlement and Chouteau's ware- house were washed away by the spring Hood. Later in that year, however, Chou- teau, still believing in the advantages of this place as a trading center, built another warehouse on higher ground. The second warehouse was built near what a few years afterwards was to be NVestport Landing. There had been, previous to this settle- ment at Chouteau's warehouse, just one set- tlement in what is now Jackson County. In 1808 the Osage Indians granted to the white men a tract of land six miles square, and upon this tract was established what afterwards proved to be an important mil- itary center for all Wiestern enterprises-- Fort Osage. The general merchandise store of Fort Osage was owned by General Sibley, and later the name of the fort was changed to Fort Sibley, Missouri. jackson County was organized by an act of the Missouri Legislature, Uecember 15, 1826. The first sale of lots in what after- wards was to be Kansas City was held july U, 10, 11. 1827, and the cash received was EE37457. Independence, Missouri, was the next settlement in Jackson County. It was founded in 1827. The advantages of the place where Kan- sas City now stands as a point of depart- ure for the West, Southwest and North- west, were recognized by Captain Bonne- ville, who took his departure from Fort Usage in May, 1832. and of whose expe- ditions such an excellent account has been given by Wfashington Irving. Lieuteriants Lupton, Fremont and Beale subsequently took their departure for their celebrated ex peditions from the French settlement where Kansas City now is. In 1832 the United States Government sent Colonel Ellsworth, Commissioner of lndian Affairs, into this country to visit the Indian tribes who had come here a short time previous from eastern states, and also those tribes west of the Missouri, Kaw and Arkansas rivers. lVashington Irving prior to this time had become intimately acquainted with some of the principal partners of the great North- west Fur Company, who lived at Montreal, and also a very close friend of john jacob Astor. He had long wanted to visit the fur trading posts of the Far IVest and so when he heard of Colonel Ellsworth's in- tended trip he asked permission to accom- pany the expedition and it was granted. Colonel Ellsworthls party, which con- sisted of a number of persons of great dis- tinction, among whom were H. B. Lat- robe, architect of the capitol at Vlfashing- tong Count Pourtales, of Switzerlandg Paul Lequest Chouteau, of St. Louis, and iXVash- ington Irving, set out from St. Louis on September 15, 1832. The party arrived first at Fort Osage and from there went to In- dependence. The following is part of the letter the HFather of American Literature wrote to his sister: Independence, Missouri, September 26, 1832. lVe arrived here day before yesterday after nine days traveling on horseback from St. Louis. Our journey has been a very interesting one, leading us across prairies, through noble forests, dotted here and there by farms and log houses at which we found rough but wholesome and abundant fare and very civil treatmentfi From Independence the party came to Chouteau's warehouse and from the latter place went out to the settlement of the Shawnee Indians Qnear the present Shaw- 32 THE WEsTPoRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- nee townj. In order to accomplish this the party must have passed through what 15 now Old Westport, but at that time the Old Harris House, the house of Colonel Chick, and many of the places where it is rumored lNashington Irving stopped, had not as yet been built. One of the speakers who addressed us in our auditorium told us that Washington Irving, when on hiS Western trip, stopped at the Harris house. The Harris house was not built until some years later. In one of our city papers a few years ago there was an article supposedly written by a son of 'Colonel Chick, saying that he could remember the night Vilashing- ton Irving spent in the Chick home, and the reception that attended his visit, but Colonel Chick himself did not arrive in VVestport until 1836, and from there moved to Kansas City in 1844. From the Shawnee settlement the party probably visited the settlements of the Dela- ware and Wyandottes Qsince the purpose of Colonel Ellsworthls trip was to visit the Indians who had migrated to this territoryl, located in what afterwards became VVyan- dotte and now is Kansas City, Kansas. The party then returned to Chouteau's landing, where it made the final prepara- tions to leave the then most remote settle- ments of civilization and to begin that peril- ous trip across the prairies. At Chouteau's landing or warehouse, as it is often called, ured the services of a hardy the party sec frontiersman, Mr. Younger, father of the ffyoungey boys, for camp assistant, and then in the latter part of September, or the Hrst of Qctober, 1832, the party started westward. From his observations made on this trip Irving wrote the' three books, Tour on the Prairiesf, 1835, Astoria, 1836, Captain Bonneville, 1837. These deal with western history and travel and are now of inestimable value as descriptive of the customs and conditions of the period. The year after Irving's visit to what is now Kansas City, John Calvin McCoy laid off Westport, 1833, and the Westport town- site was sold in 1835. In 1836 near what was soon to become Westport Landing, there was a saloon, a general merchandise store owned by a Frenchman, and several small shanties. In 1839 Kansas City was founded and in 1847 the townsite was sold. At the time Irving was in Jackson Coun- ty very little intercourse had been opened with the Southwest, but in a few years after his trip the great trade with the Southwest was begun and that famous connecting link between the United States, Mexico, and the great undeveloped Southwest, the Santa Fe Trail, which began at Independence and Kansas City and extended to Santa Fe, was traversed at regular intervals by wagon trains and so the great commerce with the Southwest was established.

The best of the year's charcoal drawings were also submitted to the criticism of Pro- fessor Huppert, Mr. Teachenor and Mr. ll. li. Stout, who were the judges chosen for both contests. These gentlemen awarded the first prize to a charcoal drawing made by Miss Christine Spencer from the cast of Apollo Belvedere. The work showed that it was the result of persistent labor. The form-an im- portant feature in this kind of work-was well brought out. Mr. Wlaldo Wfallis received the second prize for a drawing made from the cast of Diana of Versailles. His subject was most effffectirely and artistically portrayed. The third prize was given to Mr. joseph Guthrie, whose subject was the same Diana. T. B. Roor. CHRISTINE SPENCER. ART RQOM 78-DESIGN. The work in room 78 is of three grades, third year pupils studying Design, and fourth year, its application in Craft VV01'le being es- peially considered. The first year or Fresh- men, in drawing, form the best of the roo-m's workers. The Design class this year started with 35 pupils and all but three, who have left the school, have stayed to finish the course. The study of Design is most interesting and in- structive. W'e begin with fiower drawings from nature, take up the problems that under- lie all good design, such as study of line-dark and light, composition and color. Finally practical designs are made. After three years of preparation, including two of drawing and one of design, the work in the Craft class is the grand finale. It cer- tainly is the most interesting and practical in the Art course, for here we apply all that we have learned in the three preceding years. The first place in which our designs from original liower drawings found use was in stenciling. The result of this application were pillow covers, table runners, scarfs and curtains. We then took up the study of the old art of Indian basket weaving. The most important things in the second semester were word-carving, leather work, in- cluding both tooled and cut leather, and wood block painting. The result of the hours spent in wood carving are book racks, card and sandwich trays and picture frames. In leather work we have on display card cases, belts and many sizes of bags. The wood block printing is a combination of wood carving and hand printng and is somewhat like stenciling, but is more artistic -scarfs and sofa pillow tops of this work be- ing very beautiful. ' NTARGARET TVTEYER, ill. CORNELIA HOLLISTER, ,l2. As a preparation for painting, there is no study so valuable as drawing from still life with charcoal, the artists favorite material, as a medium. The work in Room 77, under Miss Boyd's -direction, is fnot limited to still life study alone, as there are many excellent cast- drawings and splendid studies both in char- coal and color of the charming views from our art-room windows. Yet it may easily be seen from the number and variety of the works from still life that the majority of the one hundred and forty-five pupils have found this line of work most attractive. The choice and variety displayed in the arrangement of sub- jects is surprising. Among the drawings that have been most admired are the several arrangements of the skull with books by Mary Fitch, Margaret Rahntge, Myra Faggart and Christine Spencer, a study of a straw hat with a framed picture in the background by Florence Fenner and a silk kimona arranged carelessly on a chair with a port-folio and open closet door in the back- ground by Letha -Churchill. She has also done a charming sketch of Gillham Road from the art window. Christine Spencer's studies in oil are inter- esting and show a very fine feeling for color. TARLTNE CHANDLER, 'l2.

His energy and enthusiasm have inspired many hitherto unin- terested players, so that the membership now consists of twenty earnest, willing workers. Besides giving its services to the Christmas Play, Senior Play and Declamation Contest, the orchestra delighted a large audience on the morning of April 29, when the City Teachers' Institute met at VVestport High School. On Monday morning, May 15, assisted by Miss Genevieve Herrick and Miss Beth Earnest, an excellent assembly program was given. Q Cn the evening of May 29, at the Patrons' Reception, and June 6, at the Commencement Exercises, the Grchestra had important places on the program. Two of our former members, Mr. Emil Chaquette and Miss Genevieve Smith, have kindly assisted us this year. Mr. Paul Goodwin, Mr. Frank Henderson and Miss Camilla lobes are all members of this yearls Senior class. Qui' ranks are always open for the reception of new members and we gladly welcome any member of the school who can play some orchestral instrument and is willing to attend practice faithfully. Under the splendid leadership of Mr. Wleitz, we feel that the year has been one of profit to us all. First Violin-Emil Chaquette, Genevieve Smith, Florence Cook, VVilliam Calhoun, Camilla jobes.

THE ASSEMBLIES. E have had a most excellent and even remarkable series of Assemblies this year. We have had many visitors whose names are of more than sectional import, -such men as Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Gilies, Dean VVest of Princeton, and others. Hardly a Monday morning has passed but we were called together to listen to some or other noted person, or to enjoy a musical program. Cf these latter, there have been many. Represent- atives from Carl Hoffman's, Jenkins', and the Conservatory of Music have appeared in rapid succession. These have been very kind indeed, not once only but a number of times, and we can indeed assure them all that we have appre- ciated what they have been doing for us. This series of Assemblies has been and will be again, we are sure, of great importance. Constant touching upon outside affairs through media of the speakers has deepened and broad- ened our school life, we know. Furthermore the good music,--not trash, but real music by great composers,-must be of great benefit to us who all too seldom have opportunities for hearing such. And, furthermore, the school, by being so frequently assembled, is kept cog- nizant of itself,-its size, its importance, its in- terests, as they are from time to time refiected from the stage. On November 21, 1910, a most delightful musical program was presented by Mr. Frank- lin Hunt, Mr. Peter Carsard and Mrs. Giles.. Through an oversight this was omitted from the mid-year number. It is the desire of the staff to make amends for their error. MR. GILIES' TALK T0 THE ASSEMBLY. Mr. Gilies delivered a most delightful, witty and pithy address, the subject being Success,', which he defined as character. Not the char- acter, he said, hthat one assumes when one has his photograph taken, but that which one bares to the stars at night when he is alone. Most of his stories were exceedingly funny. Notable among them was that of the orator who found his inspiration on the door-plate of the hall in which he was to speak. Ulf there is anything that one must have, said this speaker, if there is anything that is pre-eminently essential to success, it is that which you may read on yon door-platef, The crowd turned and saw not 'fPush, as the speaker had upon entering, but Pull em- blazoned in magnificent capitals. Mr. Gilies did not, however, find Pull' the greatest essential. although desirable. He found it in something deeper-character. 1 Some among his illustrations, though, were most dramatically pathetic. Perhaps the best representative of these was the one about the valedictorian who bestowed the medal upon the mother who had slaved to give him his edu- cation. VVe were much pleased with the dry, droll wit of Mr. Gilies, and received much good from his lecture. Let us hope that we hear him again very soon. ,l I Dr. Vlfinfield Scott Hall, Professor of Phys- 1Ol0gY IH Nlorthwestern University, Evanston, Ill., gave an interesting talk january 23 on BIOIOSY- Beginning with a low form of ani- mal life, the amoeba, he led up to man. the highest f0fm, pointing out the similarity of animal li interestir gn the n THE 5 One l that we at the e time to honor C the bro the Son third be the Wa please c blushin5 platfori ' to him tion, w On t day, HS ward l St. Loi the fe have h about josepr of St. the sil The rendei Miss . man I Nentx dent ume c the af rount charn pany Ur liver . if g 11 i - L Z . .- . ii - ASSEMBLY. elightful, witty Qing Success, Not the char- mes when one hat which one he is alonef, edingly funny. of the orator 2 door-plate of k. e must have, lything that is ess, it is that ir-plate. ot Push, as iut Pull em- L.

One Monday assembly it was, January 26, that we of the back row pricked up our ears at the evident stir in the rest of the house in time to hear: Mi: Arthur Moses has had the honor of winning for Vtfestport High School the bronze medal offered by the 'Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, for the third best essay on 'Samuel Adams' Services in the Wiar of the Revolutionf Mr. Moses will please come to the platformf, So Ed, with a blushing smile of pleased modesty, went to the platform and said that it was as unexepected to him as it was to us, the usual harmless Hc- tion, which in this case happened to be true. On the propitious eve of VVashington's birth- day, as the society had kindly arranged, Eil- ward Moses was present at their banquet in St. Louis, with the other two winners. After the feasting, he marched up with them to have his fitting bronze medal hung by a ribbon about his neck, after the young lady from St. Joseph and the young man from Soldan High of St. Louis were likewise decorated, she with the silver, he with the gold medal The first musical program of the term was 1'C11flf3l'6fl ,l2111L1H1'y 30 by Mr. Rudolf King, Bliss Adeline Xentwig, pianists, and Mr. Her- man Springer, baritone. Mr. King and Miss Nentwig played several duets which the stu- dent body appreciated very much. The vol- ume of sound from two pianos rolled through the auditorium and brought forth round after round of applause. Mr. Springer sang several charming solos. Jenkins' Sons Music Com- pany furnished the pianos On February Zlst Mr. Riley R. Ross de- livered his lecture on Lincoln. Boston and Her Schoolsu was the subject of a very pleasant talk on Tuesday, March 7, by Mr Frank V. Thompson, formerly Head master of the Boston High School of Com- merce and now Assistant Superintendent of schools in Boston. After recalling to our minds the various historical incidents center- ing around Boston, he fell to discussing the High Schools of that city. Wfe were surprised to learn the large number of high schools in Boston and how each one is doing a highly specialized work. In Assembly hall, March 16, we saw three of our boys with Mr. Shouse and four strangers, sitting not quite at their ease, upon the platform. VVe soon learned that the strangers were Manuals's negative debating team, our honorable opponents for the even- ing and Mr. Appletown, their coach. Before hearing from the debaters, Dr. Lich- tenburger, Professor of S-ociology in Penn. University, gave us a little talk on a line from Proverbs: 'KA man's gift maketh room for him. As each one of us has some gift, he explained the necessity of developing that gift. Each of the debaters tlienmade some little speech concerning the debate for the evening. and Mr. Appletown, coach of Manualys team, said that even if Manual did not win, if they conducted themselves as gentlemen, stated their points clearly and were game to the end, they would win our estimation. Though they could not win the debate, we can assure them they did, indeed, win our hearty approbation. On Monday, March 27, the Kansas City Conservatory of Music was kind enough to furnish the program. M. Boguslawski played two piano solos and Mr. and Mrs. Cranston sang several duets and solos. En- cores were generously given. NVe regret that we did not show proper courtesy to them in that one soloist had to wait quite a time because of noise in the assembly before beginning an encore. 42 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. One of the best as well as one of the short- est talks of the year was given on April 3rd by Dean VVest of Princeton. He contrasted very clearly the advantages of the high school boy and girl of today with those of twenty years ago and urged us to make the most of our opportunities. Having pointed out the duty that this increased training carries with it, he closed with the statement that the High School should be made a training schocl for character as well as knowledge. Again we were honored with speakers who represent our state university. Dr. Stone, an alumnus of M. U., first spoke a few words to us, then introduced Dr. Ross Hill. After ex- pressing his thanks in behalf of the University to the High Schools of Kansas City for their aid in the previous election, he told us some- thing about the students of M. U., in the hope of bringing the High School and University closer together. A Dr. Beck, instructor in German and an alumnus of Missouri, then followed Dr. Hillls talk by telling us all about the history of the University. When at the last, he bravely started in on the Old Missouri Songn alone, the student body proved itself quite patriotic and D-r. Beck didn't have to sing a solo very long. M. U.'S RECEPTION. The evening of April 7, the University of Missouri gave a reception to the Seniors. The halls and auditorium were literally covered with M. U. pennants and banners, and the ef- fect was beautiful. The following program was presented in the auditorium and then there was dancing in the gym: Address ....................... jo-HN T. HARDING. Address ......... MRS. S. G. ELSTON.

The Pmgfam included a violin solo by Miss Pheobe Brooks, several vocal solos by 'Miss McGil- vrav, a cello solo by M. jules Loix, and two triogs for violin, cello and piano by Miss Brooks, Mr. Loix and Miss VVinning -,L,lil.L.l-..- Mrs. De Armond on April 24th gave us quite a lengthy musical program that was well rendered. Several of the selections were of her own composition. -i. ,.i.L..l-i. The Carl Hoffman Music Co. kindly en- tertained us May 10th oy a concert on a player-piano and several solos. One would hardly have thought that a player-piano could be made to sound so unmechanical. XVe thank our entertainers very much in- deed. THE INTER-SOCIETY DANCE. On March third, the members of the various literary societies of the school met at the second annual Inter-Society Dance. The original idea was to hold the dance on Wasli- ingtonls Birthday, but for several reasons it was postponed. However, it is the desire of many that the affair be held annually hereafter, on February twenty-second. Many social, athletic and literary stars were present, and lent a certain brilliancy and distinction to the function by their aesthetic gyrations and witty repartee. Members of the faculty froliced joyfully about the gymnasium door, upon which, by the way, the use of wax had been prohibited, thus preserving the com- fort and dignity of the more uncouth of the revellers. The evening was rather warm for the time of year, and it is reported that many fans were utterly demolished by the vigorous but well- meaning beaux.

This event is an excellent promoter of school spirit in that it unites the interests of the several societies which are a powerful factor in the life of the school. Let us hope that it may become an annual affair. CLASS READINGS. On Thursday, May ll, the Freshmen rep- resentative themes were read before a group of English teachers in Mr. VVard's class-room. These productions showed not a little insight into human nature, and in some instances keen tout hes of humor. Of the whole the Fresh- men acquitted themselves very creditably. The following Monday Mr. VVard held an- other class competition, that of the Sopho- mores, whose papers were either descriptive or else expository. It was evident that some truly literary work was striven toward and in most cases attained. lt would be useless to attempt a comparison between the two classes, but it is certain that both deserve the commendation of the entire school. -- On May 26th the Juniors, instead of read- ing papers, debated the question, resolved, That Kansas City should organize and op- erate free public theatersf, Pauline Smith, Xllinfrey Nathan and Leo Smith de- fended the question, while Vera Waltner, Duane Tice and Shelton Smith were the aggressors. Such debates should bring out material for next year. THE DECLABI.-XTION CONTEST. The Tenth Annual Declamation Contest, held May' 19, was an eminent success in moving toward the idea which its founders had in starting it, that is, in furthering the interest in declamation and oratory in the school and developing the power of expres- sion in the individual. The girls' prize of SEIU was given to Miss Anna Bartlett, who recited Elizabeth Stewart Phelps Helene Thamref, The other girls-Yera Vtfaltner and Lucile Ed- wards-deserve commendation on the choice of pieces suited to themselves and the natural ability and work which they put into them, Miss VValtner's demanding breath and dra- matic power, and Miss Edwards a dainty and sympathetic interpretation. Elmo Robinson won the boys' prize by giving On the Death of Garfield, by Blaine. Donald Black and Harold Diggle, who contested, did nobly. The oratorical was marked by a natural, spontaneous and direct delivery which puts it high among high school forensics. ANNUAL PARENTS' NIGHT' 1 Arangements had been made to make Par- ents' Night, May 26, better than ever before. An unusually large crowd had gathered, and an exhibition had just been begun in the gym, when it was announced that something had happened to the boiler. This put the lighting system out of commission and so the building was hastily vacated. The parents were invited back on Monday night, May 29. An hour was spent watching the boys and girls in the gym. After that the crowd went to the third floor to inspect the various Domestic Science and Art rooms. On their way to the basement, parents were given an opportunity to meet the teachers. After inspecting the works in the basement, a call was given to the Auditorium, where an Oper- etta-Trial by Jury-by Gilbert and Sullivan, was given by Mrs. Hedges' pupils. This was interspersed with several delightful numbers by the High School Orchestra. In spite of the fact that they were disappointed Friday night, all reported themselves pleased. TENNIS COURTS. Through the intervention of Mr. Under- wood and the kindness of the Park Commis- sioners a two-unit tennis court has just been completed below the High School. This is especially for the teachers of VVestport, but is open to all and will soon be followed by more courts. VVestport High should certainly thank the Park Board for what they are doing and for what they are going to do on Gillham Road. 44 THE w13sTPoRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD- THE DEBATING TEAMS LELAND W. HAZARD JOSEPH ROZIER HARRY K. POINDEXTER fi l DONALD E. BLACK THE BIANL'AL-WESTPURT DEBATE. Only la small crowd of stout-hearted sup- porters of Wfestport were gathered in her As- sembly hall on the evening of April 17th to brave the storm of stern, rigid eloquence which burst forth when the chairman, judge john G. Park had introduced Manual's first speaker on the affirmative, Mr. Richards. To support the question, Resolved, That United States sen- DUANE T. TICE ELMO ROBINSON ators should be nominated and elected by the Oregon planf' he maintained that the system of state legislator's optional pledges, which had already elected two popular senators from Ure- gon, would secure the best obtainable approxi- mation of popular will. But our first speaker, Mr. Hazard, with his cooling zephyrs of dis- passionate logic proved that the Oregon plan of direct primaries was as delicient as tl1e old plan in gf the prima Clark, cor that H COT rect popu atcrs. ill not be P35 ond rpeal- the point ment by K JregoH would W5 islators o ual's this necessity 21 better 1 constitut quickly 1' 1 erbolt, and all C ment. xv tivelconz needed the spir time fol Hazard the Ure dient u ment slr his proi Norah? ing his front, 2 on the etlectix round argumf affray. and their soon 1 ner th negati suplpo catch ulatin chamr cred Rm ' ffx 5 .

Xlanual's second speaker, Mr. Clark, countered this by an attempt to prove that a co-nstitutional amendment, providing di- rect popular nomination and election of sen- ators, in fact any amendment, probably could not be passed. However, Mr. Rozier, our sec- ond speaker, ignoring this quibbling evasion of the point, complimented Mr. Hazards argu- ment by the well substantiated one that the Oregon plan, with all its optional pledges, would nct secure the election by the state leg- islators of the senator of popular choice. Man- ual's third speaker was thus reduced to the necessity of calling thunderously to be shown a better plan than the affirmative's, outside of a constitutional amendment. Mr. Poindexter quickly disipelled the clouds by a crashing thun- ierbolt, maintaining that the Oregon plan, and all others short of a constitutional amend- ment. was an evasion of the wisely conserva- tive constitutional method of effecting all much needed changes, and therefore a violation of the spirit of the constitution itself. That the time for a much needed change had come, Mr. Hazard in honeyed accents admitted, and that the Oregon plan was merely a temporary expe- dient until the proper constittuional amend- ment should be passed, he proved, and clinched his proposition by a reiteration of it in Senator liorah's letter, which Mr. Hazard read in clos- ing his rebuttal argument, keeping up a bold front, as if unaware that we had got the drop on them. Mr. Richards continued his in- effective cannonading until he had nred a last round from everyone of his little six-pounder arguments. Then as soon as the judges of the affray, Major E. H. Shultz, Nr. jay M. Lee and judge E. E. Porterfield, had passed up their decision, the chairman, judge Park, soon pronounced in a satisfactory, brief man- ner the verdict of two to one in favor of the negative. The small, select, smiling VVestport supfporters swarmed upon the blatform to catch a honeyed acknowledgement of congrat- ulating shakes and praise for this eloquent championing' of XYestport High and the sa- cred provisions of the constitution. THE DEBATE AT CENTRAL. NVhile Manual was being so courteously treated at Westport by Mr. Underwood and the negative team, our affirmative team was being made at home at Central. ln the morn- ing an excellent assembly was held, at which all our boys spoke. Afterwards the school was put at our disposal, but we left soon after luncheon. The debate was scheduled to begin at eight o'clock but one of the judges was delayed and it was nine before the forensic fireworks started. Donald E. Black opened the debate for VVestport. He outlined the meaning and history of the Oregon Plan and spoke of its many benefits. The Hrst Central speakers time was taken up by definitions, and refuta- tions, but he aimed a blow or two at the Statements Une and Two, and at the minor specifications of the plan. Duane Tice, our second speaker, deserves much praise. Though a novice in debating he covered himself with glory. He used his ten minutes in showing the evils of our pres- ent method, the deadlocks in the state legisla- tures, the misrepresentation, the bribery and the graft attendant on the election of a special interest senator. 'The second nega- tive speaker repeated some of the first speak- erls arguments, refuted some of our points, and spent the balance of his time in pointing out evils in the Gregon plan, the misuse of money in spite of the Corrupt Practises Act. the misuse of power, and other grevious errors. This was by far the best speech on the negative side. Mr. Robinson, who closed the argument for the affirmative, summarized his colleagues' arguments, and then turned his attention to nomination and election. He explained that the minor points, such as the number of days the polls should be kept open, the color of the ballots, the alternate arrangement of names, and the exact registration laws, did not have to be adopted verbatim, but that any stringent laws coupled with the main points of Oregon's plan would be sufficient. The last Centralite 46 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. brought out the remedy, a Constitutional Amendment and summarized his colleagues' arguments. The negative rebuttal speaker endeavored to refute our arguments but hesitated and was lost in the midst of his authorities. Mr. Black arose and came backf' hitting hard the opposition's suggestion-the amendment- but the judges soon handed in their decision -negative two, affirmative one. A It was an excellent debate, the best we've ever put on in Kansas City. Both teams' arguments were good, logical, unified, and coherent. Their delivery did credit to their coaches. Westport offers no excuses, it did its level best and-lost! Requiescat in Pace! L. IVIASON LYONS, ,l2. i MARCH TERM OF CIRCUIT CCURT. IRCUITI CUURT convened in Room 80, the first Monday in March, judge Cope presiding. The first case on docket was The S-tate of Missouri vs. Mabel Hall, for illegal voting. Miss Hall chose Larwell Stevens and NValter Mic- Lean as her attorneys, while Lester Pres- cott and William Cohn were the attorneys representing the state. After choosing a jury consisting of six boys and six girls, the trial began. Many important witnesses were ex- amined very rigidly by the defense and state attorneys. Mr. Glen Williams, Sam Shirkley and Ernest VVilson told very complicated stor- ies about the illegal ballot, which led to the arrest of Mr. VVilliams on the charge of per- jury. The attorneys on both sides then plead before the jury, in the interest of their clients. Then judge Cope gave the jury a few hints about reaching a decision. Marshal Whalley soon escorted the jury to the jury room, whfch after a two days deliberation refused to reach a verdict, having eight for conviction and four for acquittal. . The next trial was against VVilliam Snyder for registering his color as black. The de- fense claimed Mr. Snyder had enough negro blood in him, to be called black. Two of the jury believed this as the verdict stood ten to two for conviction. The last and most interesting trial was against Raymond Hull for registering his name as George Washington. The attorneys on the defense were Donald Black, Harry Poindexter, and Larwell Stevens. The prose- cuting attorneys were Elmo Robinson, Lester Prescott and William Cohn, making three al-. trvxneys on each side The case opened with much wrangling and accusations, while the audience laughed until Sheriff Whalley called for 'fless racket. Mr. Black thought he had unearthed a great piece of evidence by accusing the prosecution with tampering with the jury. However, it led up to a confession by Mr. Black himself, that he had- been trying to influence Miss Carrington, a juror, to acquit Hull. After the witnesses were cross-examined by the six attorneys, the defense and state made their pleas before the jury. Mr. Robinson for the defense were chosen to make the pleas for their respective sides. The former deserves a great deal of credit for his splendid argu- ments. Mr. Hull had claimed his legal name was Washington, and as his father was adopted by people named Hull, he took his parent's adopted name instead of his own legal name. Mr. Robinson however, brought out the fact, that Hull admitted his grandfather's name was Hull, which was a contradiction to the statement Hull made before, that it was VVashington. Mr. Poindexter's speech was slightly marred by the inattention of the judge, who was assisting Sheriff Whalley in tracking a black hand artist, by asking him whether this was his speech or something else. The jury went out for two minutes, returning with a verdict of guilty, The success of the trial was due largely to Mr. Harmon and Homer Cope. Mr. Harmon was always ready to give advice when called upon, and his clever management of the trial from behind the scenes, was certainly appre- ciated.

Among the many successes that VVestport has attained during the past year has been the Senior play, presented on the evening ot April 28 by a few of the talented members of the Senior class. The play chosen was entitled The Raiders, a story of the time of the civil war. In the complications that arise Leland Haz- ard, as the hero, took the part of Stephen Fair- fax, a young southern officer. Certain lines of his part which are usually ridiculous when rendered by amateurs, were portrayed excel- lently by Mr. Hazard and in all he made a dig- nihed and commanding lieutenant. To quote frcm Dinah, he sho' was a pow'ful han'some sojer manf, The role of Dorothy Glenton was taken by Camilla lobes. Her interpretation was fine and artistic and with her winning smile, her frilled old-fashioned dress and her quaint poke- bonnet, she was indeed a true picture of an old-fashioned maiden. As a contrast to the more serious and digni- lied Dorothy,was Rose Blossom, as played by Della York. Miss York was the tpyical, viva- cious and mischievous parson's daughter and her interpretation and rendering approached the professional. Perhaps the part was not altogether new to illiss York. Harvey Ellis as Dick was almost a match for Rose. He was an energetic, dashing Southern soldier. A His lines were full of life and his action free and abandoned. Sidney Altschuler as Judge Glenton made a kind, solicitous and perhaps somewhat too in- dulgent father to Dorothy. Although in the daily routine of school life, Donald Black has shown himself to be a sort of universal genius, yet since the play we all believe him to have been cut out for a parson. lt seems that the brown grease paint which was smeared over Ruth Storr's face struck further in, for certainly Miss Storr made a typical old Southern mammy. The villain in the play was Thomas T. Tay- lor. That shrewd, selfish lawyer who carried out the judge's instructions only for his own good, was well played by Mr. Taylor. George VV. Miller as Corporal Ladd carried out his instructions in a business-like manner and held his soldierly bearing throughout the play even under somewhat trying circum- stances. Too much cannot be said of Joseph Rozier and Lawrence Walker, who made such excel- lent guards. ' Eddie Hoffman as Gustave, with his enor- mous and infectious laugh, was an all 'round Dutch.,' A very delightful sketch, entitled The Christian llflanfl preceded the Senior play iself. 'Clifford XV. Hollebaugh, the author, took the part of the villian, a selfish, cheating fellow, working for his own selfish ends. Mr. Holle- baugh had a fine conception of his part and was indeed a smiling villain. 1 As the hero of this sketch was Montgomery lVright in the role of Ralph, so vividly did he present the dissipated, fallen character of the wretched tenement lodger that several of his most intimate friends failed to recognize him There was a good deal required of Frances Simcox in the role of the wronged wife. But Miss Simcox easily fulfilled all our our ex- it ectations and as Bess she did a very creditable piece of dramatic work. Nellie Rich as Mrs. O'Toole worked in har- mony with the spirit of the play and intensi- hed the tenement surroundings. Another feature that added beauty and in- terest to the evening was the orchestra. It THE. R.-XID ER played between the acts and gave a few touches to the play itself. A selection that seemed to delight the whole audience was My Hero from the Chocolate Soldier, while among the more classical music was the minuet and bar- carole from Countess Hoffmanf' VVe appre- ciate the variety of selections played by our orchestra during the year.

Her excellent tact and judgment in tight posi- tions has guided us through many rocky channels, and we sincerely thank her for her Palinurian piloting. The club did not fully realize that it had so many Irish enthusiasts in its midst until the St. Patrickls Day prggranq. The program was Irish throughout and was en- joyed by all of the members.

The society had the singular honor of being entertained by the faculty. Mrs. MacLaughlin and Mr. Martin recited a num- ber of humorous selections to us, and Mr. Humphrey favored us with a sermon upon a favorite theme of his.

Its members have studied Tolstoi, Swinburne, VValt Whitman, Mark Twain, Longfellow, Thoreau, Lamb and Keats. This wide range of sub- jects, though a most severe test of versatility in criticism, has been dealt with by the mem- bers in a masterful way. Many keenly appre- ciative papers have proven the benefit derived from formulative study of these various writ- ers. The encouragement of comradeship has imparted an earnestness and zest to the work that cannot be had outside of an organization bound together by a common and sympathetic interest. Free discussion and ready statement of opinion have dispelled all ofthe cold re- straint that so often dampens the natural zeal. Opinions have been put to the test of debate. The pitting of wit against wit has proven a most exhilerating exercise. Battling for a cause greatly enhances it in the eyes of the contestants. Misdirected argument is fruit- less, but that which is schooled by the great literary masters is elevating. So has this Club gained much proht from contact with the dis- tinguished philosophers and poets in seeking to trace their processes of reasoning and feel- ing to their source. ' The Irving Club has grown to be a prac- tical and important factor in Westport High School, for, not only is it organized under a charter of lofty ideals, but it strives in all sincerity to uphold its principles. This Club regrets that it could not have had an -oppor- tunity to present some of its representative work to the general student body in the As- sembly, to the end that its various functions mright be well known to all, and that the bene- fits to be derived from membership in such an organization might be advertised. The facts are true at least, though they be not well known. This society has achieved many things and plays a vital part in the culture of the school.

Through graduation this year, we lose, greatly to our regret, eight of our number, of whom the following are charter mem- bers: Alice Qsmond, Della York and Mar- tha Launder. -' The Pundit Club is justly proud that one of our number, Della York, was selected to take a leading part in the Senior play, as there were just three girls in the cast and Della was the only one belonging to a high school society, the honor was excep- tional. Throughout the year the responsibility of furnishing posters for the meetings has been shared by the whole club. Each member, according to her alphabetical position on the roll, has been required to furnish a poster.

Many of the subjects which we have rejected Cas our number of meetw ings has been so limitedj have shown that the members have been keeping up with questions of the day.

In all of these the debate was spirited and strong arguments were used, making the contest very interesting. Wfe have decided to choose our subjects for debate a month before the date of delivery and to notify the members who are selected to take part as soon as the subject is chosen, in order to give them ample time for preparation. Although holidays are usually considered pleasant interruptions in a school year, this term they have seemed untimely to us because on two occasions they have coin- cided with our regular meetings.

Miss Hull, Mr. Miller and Mr. Marshall are ex- perts at musical comedy, and afforded us much amusement. Tn fact, all of the members have shown their skill and powers in various directions-wherever, in fact, the compass- needle pointed. The Program Committee is especially to be thanked for the interest and activity they have shown throughout the.year. VVe have had some excellent advertising furnished us by our artists in the line of posters, and we feel greatly indebted to them. On account of the fact that we give all of our plays in German, we have not been able to present one before the Assembly, but have made up for this by providing Miss Hull for the Christmas play, and Mr. Miller for the Senior play.

NVe have been making a study of South America and have had some very enjoyable papers. At one of our meetings Mr. C. W. Burriss, who had been traveling in Panama, told us of his travels and how the work on the canal is progressing. Several Spaniards have spoken to us about South America. Senor Silva, who upholds the Mexican Gov- ernment, told us much about the resources and destiny of this sister Republic. Senor Cababa also has spoken to us this year on the subject of Mexico. Cn April 24th we enjoyed a set of stereoptican views called A Trip Through Mexico. These showed the manners and cus- toms of the people, and the agricultural prod- ucts of the country. A great miany of our names will be missing from the roll call next year, but we are sure that our Club has enough to till their places. 'VVe are planning some especially interesting and profitable work for the coming year. A great deal of pleasure has been derived from our magazine, The Bulletin of the Pan- American Republics, and we shall continue the subscription next year.

The success of a school garden is not necessarily measured by the value of the crops raised, but by the effect on the lives of the workers. If one is to be happy, he must be in sympathy with common things. He must live in harmony with his environment. One cannot be happy yonder-nor tomorrowg he is happy here and now, or never. Our stock of knowledge of common things should be great. Few of us can travel. We must know the things at home. ' L. H. BAILEY. Physiography A In the early spring the combined forces of man and nature brought a useful lesson with- in reach of the physiography classes. From a slope lying just northeast of the school build- ing the sod was removed. A long-continued dry period was followed by a week of heavy rains. With the protecting vegetation re- moved, the torrents of water rapidly removed the soil, leaving miniature gorges. At the base of the exposed slope, where the steep- ness of the slope was suddenly checked, the sediment was spread out, forming alluvial fans. .4 .lx ' f -km az. 5. a f . ...,...... ..

This model attracted much attention at the local auto shows, and the Loco-mobile Com- pany offered the maker 31,000 for a similar model of their car. All the parts are fitted like watch works, much of it by the aid of a microscope. Sl'l5ClF1CAT1ONS. Motor: Two cylinder. Built on gasoline designs. To be run by compressed air or steam.

During the last decade much time has been given by scientists to the study of foods and their dietetic value. It is a subject which rightfully should demand much consideration from all, for it is authori- tatively declared that if man were properly fed, life would be much extended and maie much happier. Many of the high schools have laboratories for the study of foods, their necessary pro- portions and the best manner of cooking. In this particular, Westport High School is very fortunate, ,for its equipment is not only of the best, but is most practical. Cooking begins with the junior year of the High School work. The care and equipment of a practical kitchen are studied. Foods are classifed acording to their nutritive values and functions. The digestive fluids called into action by each is considered. The range and the economic ,running of the same are dis- cussed. Attention is paid not only to the Numa. l 'lA'rTuu4 5 1091, composition, food values and cooking of the various fruits, vegetables, meats, etc., but to their prices. Tea, coffee and cocoa are dis- cussed as to their stimulating powers and value as food. The mixing and baking of bread, simple cakes and plain pastry occupy a considerable portion of the time. Rules are given for the serving of these, as well as for the making and serving of simple salads. Two very useful notebooks are kept, one for lectures and notes and the other for recipes. The second year's work includes the can- ning of fruits and vegetables and the making of jellies. This raises the discussion of harm- ful and harmless preservatives, bacteria, veast and mould. i Order, cleanliness and exactness of meth- ods are required. The girls enter into the spirit of the work with a will. The Board of Education and their wives were the guests of the Senior Domestic Science girls at a very attractive dinner prepared and served by them, Par: T prir son 'I A mac lX wot C apr .15 bot Spf bro A cor S of cus C if gir' Q of the but to are dis- :rs and simple iderable for the :ing and rpt, one ier for he can- making f harm- a, yeast f meth- nto the oard of iests of a very ly them. ili-l1l1li1-l -l i cf 'l l ill il . it-i.....l-'3.QME,S1LEe1ii..i. IRST year Domestic Art is a full- year subject and alternates with first year free-hand drawing, The course includes the fundamental principles of hand and machine sewing and some drafting of patterns. The following problems are worked out: A laundry bag, curtain or suit protector- machine work. Mending and darning in both cotton and wool garments. Christmas presents, such as fancy bags, aprons, jabots, etc. All kinds of undergarments are made, both from bought and drafted patterns. Special attention is given to laces and em- broideries for the same. A lingerie waist is drafted and made ac- cording to girls own measurements. Simple embroidery work is applied to one of the above garments or to a trowel or pin- cushion. Cover, jabot, etc. A few large sized rugs are woven by the girls. A comparison is made of the manufacture, cost and durability of cotton materials, while cotton and linen fibres are studied from the raw state to the completed article. D Class Discussion-Cn the care and use of sewing machines, how to shop, care of clothing in removing of stains, storage, etc. In the second year the main feature of the first term is the washable tailored suit, which consists of a nine-gored or kilt-plaited skirt, a tailored mannish or plaited waist, a belt of the same material and a harmonizing jabot or stock. As both the skirt and waist patterns are drafted free-hand by each girl, line and proportion are considered. Nor are accurate drafting and sewing the only points empha- sized, for the following topics are discussed: kinds of fabrics, their widths, prices, wearing qualities and estimates of the amount of ma- terial for suits, artistic dress, or the relation existing between amount invested, mcaterial used, design of gown, occasion for wearing, and the style of person. The Christmas spirit pervades the work for SOME. SPECIMENS OF FIRST YEAR SEWING 72 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. ' t LOOM AND RUC-S -FIRST YEAR WORK several weeks in December. Here the girls are taught the value of spare moments. Among the results are jabots, ribbon holders, ribbon roses, sachets, work bags, party bHgS, and embroidered towels. The lingerie dress is the next piece of sew- ing, but as the beginning of january is some- what early for summer materials and styles, the making of a chart, discussing the problems of a working girl, is introduced at this time. Each student plans the entire expense for a girl whose salary is 355 a month. The three- year basis is used, as all garments do not need to be replaced annually. Her board, savings, car fare and pleasures are itemized for each year, and after subtracting these, special at- tention is given to her wardrobe. Accordingly, on charts designated as nrst, second and third year, are pasted pictures of garments, acocmi- panied by prices and samples of material. The arrangement of these charts furnishes an op- portunity for originality. Some of the names applied to the finished charts are particularly How Hetty Handled Her Handbag, How Dolly Divided Her Dollars, . and How Carrie Cared for Her Cashf, The work of the second term is character- ized by another suit which embraces a lingerie interesting, as : dress, a sash or girdle and a lingerie hat. In making the lingerie dress, the girls are taught the use of machine attachments and bought patterns. The dress, whose keynote is sim- plicity, is completed by a draped silk girdle or a ribbon sash, and bow. Before starting on the lingerie hat, pictures and ideas of hats, as well as trimmings and frames, are collected and discussed until, at length, each girl con- ceives the idea of the hat she desires. The frames are then made, covered and trimmed in the prevailing style of the season. The cover- ings include mull, net, chiffon, embroidery and silk, the trimmings ribbon, fiowers, rosettes and bows. Q A notebook is kept by each pupil, in which she collects the following items: Drafts and notes on the making of garments, free-hand sketches of waists, skirts, hats and neckwear fthe originals of which were seen in stores, on the streets or in magazinesj, pictures of suits, dresses and hats cut from magazines and samples and explanations of ribbon flow- ers and embroidery stitches.

Very few of the boys of these two classes have been late to work, and this plan enables many of them to leave school one hour earlier than usual in the afternoon. There are now six classes with an attendance of about one hundred. The articles which the pupils have chosen to make for individual projects this year will average somewhat larger in size and number than those last year. A gouge exercise in the forn1 of a neat pen tray has been added to the exercises which constitute the first half year's work. For the past few weeks the boys have been very busy putting the finishing touches to the individual projects so they would be ready for the annual exhibit held during the latter part of May. Many beautiful and useful articles made in the joinery room are now adorning the homes of the students who have taken join- ery in previous years. Below is a partial list of the individual projects that have been made by the pupils this year: Two book cases, seven book racks, two cedar chests, four flower stands, four foot rests, four library lamps, two hall clocks, two hall racks, six chairs, nine library tables, seven magazine stands, fifteen tab- desks, two telephone stands, a wireless telegraphy table, a tuck-a-way table, a type- writer table, a sewing table, a combination table and settee, a music cabinet, a pedestal, two piano benches, and three porch swings. With the permission of our esteemed teacher, J. E. Guisinger, we welcome all persons interested in our work to visit our classes. G. w. B. sETTLE, '14. VVOOD TURNING. HE question often arises whether the wood-turning course given in the high schools is beneficial to the pupil. Of course, the time allotted to the pupil for this branch of manual training is too short to make of him an experienced turner, yet he gains the underlying prin- ciples which along with more practice would make him such. This would seem to sug- gest that wood-turning is beneficial only to pupils who intend to follow that voca- tion in life. But this is not so, for greater even than the skill gained in manipulation and a knowledge of mechanical means is the development of foresightedness and careful planning, which comes as a second- ary result. In the course, the first ten weeks is spent - ' L ,PP . on woik witn sort wood exercises made b , ,, . . , Gfwecn centers. llns gives the pupil prac- tice in The S6 wood. ters, Of Chuckil weekS draft, S cored 1 is devc The Sl taught Dur difficuf in tur the wi of the comin and h has tc to knf what of loc result problc ical.

The second ten weeks is given over to hard wood. Under it, work is done between cen- ters, on the face plate, and the subiect of chucking is introduced. The third ten weeks introduces pattern making. Here draft, shrinkage, filleting, split patterns, and cored patterns are made. The last ten weeks is devoted to finished articles in hard wood. The subjects of polishing and designing are taught at this time. During this course many problems and difficulties present themselves to the student in turning which have to be seen before the work is begun. Especially is this true of the pattern making. The means for over- coming these difficulties have to be deviseci and held firmly in mind. Also the pupil has to see beyond each operation. He has to know which operation must follow and what the result of each will be. This ability of looking through a task and knowing its result is the first and essential feature of all problems, mechanical, commercial or polit- ical. Again, to be any kind of a success in life, we must be able to stick to a task we have begun until it is completed. Even this can be mastered in wood-turning. After the novelty of the work has worn off and the exercises are of such difficulty as to become discouraging-as a number of them require several trials-the pupil who keeps on work- ing with the zeal with which he started, haS gained a virtue which will stand by him in later years and be a stepping-stone to his success. It sometimes becomes neces- sary to go back and start over. This agaln tests the pupil's ability to stick to it. The Course also requires the pupil to Pmlclt by his mistakes, as one thing 1621115 fight up to another. These virtues will do the pupil more gOOd than any amount of s'kill he may have Gained or natural ability he mill' have' HS 6 they are applicable to any line of work, while skill is useful only to a wood-turner. LAWRENCE D. VVALKER, '11- With the installation of the forge room about December of this school year, another step was taken at Vtfestport in the direction Of a complete manual training department. Wfe now have joinery, wood turning and forg- ing and the hope of machine shop work in the future. Qur manual training department is thus not quite complete, but what we have is the best obtainable, and when the rest is added 'Vifestport will be one of the best eqipped schools for this line of work in the VVest. FQRGING. As was said above, the forge room was completed about December. Its equipment is all that could be desired. There are twelve of the most modern Buffalo down-draft forges with the anvils and all the hammers, tongs and other things needed for ordinary work. Along the west wall and south end of Room 14 are twelve benches with vises to correspond to the forges where the files and aprons are kept. The draft, both feed and exhaust, which comes from two fans, electrically driven, and connections with each forge are all beneath the floor. The exhaust is so arranged that no smoke can escape and go out into the room. Also there is a punch and shear, an electric drill press, a power hammer and an emery wheel. The drill makes from 150 to 500 revo- lutions per minute. The hammer is driven by a 35-h. p. motor and is rated as giving a blow of 75 pounds. This is the same blow to the iron as if a 300-pound sledge hammer were dropped on it. All special tools and the stock are kept in the stock room. The course is very comprehensive. In soft iron there are exercises which illustrate the primary principles of forging, drawing out, upsetting, bending, shaping and welding. Then in tool steel work, drawing out, shaping, tem- pering and polishing are taught in the making of chisels, hammers and other tools. Then there is extra work in bracing, soldering, bent iron work and chipping and filing of surfaces. I,UsBv S1MPsoN, 'll. M ECHANICAL fs - ??Z' DRAWI G T -il '6M.CLl ECHANICAL drawing has been coming into prominence more and more every year, so that now it is regarded as a valuable asset to any business man and indispensable in a mechanical trade or an engineering course. Night schools inlevery city are crowded with men eager to gain some of the prin- ciples of drawing, for they have found them- selves handicapped without it. Because it is the basis of all industrial pursuits, it is sometimes called constructive drawing. The importance of drawing in its appli- cation to manual training cannot be over- estimated. lt is, in fact, the ,first step in manual training. Witliout drawing, the use of tools becomes a mere mechanical imita- tion, and has little value as lan educational factor. From the conception ofthe ideato its expression in the concrete material, the drawing is the graphic description by means of which the mechanical processes are log- ically developed and brought to a definite and practical form. To teach a pupil how to make and inter- pret a working drawing is therefore the object of mechanical drawing. lie must understand this universal languageu by which forms are described, and he must acquire by education and practice the abil- ity to use it. Since a working drawing is a projection of an object on one or more planes, some of the elementary theory of orthographic projections is given first in order that the student may be working 1n- telligently from the start. A close and constant relation is main- tained between the mechanical drawing de- partment and the shops. Every mechanical product is carefully studied out on paper in all of its principles and details before the pupil touches the material out of which he is to make the concrete thing. Thus the pupil learns to approach his task with a dehnite and accurate idea of the result to be accomplished. The plan of the work, as given during the four years follows. T , F1RsT YEAR. A First Term. Having completed working drawings of eight typical joints, the form and proportions of the letters of the plain Gothic alphabet are studied and practiced. Qrthographic projection follows, with the explanation of the terms plane, eleva- tionsi' and profile Problems in projec- tion are then given to develop the powers of the pupil in concrete thinking, and in the deduction of logical conclusions from given facts. Geometrical constructions which compel accuracy and about ten ele- mentary principles of descriptive geometry complete the first term work. Se cond Term.

HART, chairman of the Business Department, recently sent out let- ,ters to a number of representative men of our city asking a few questions and inviting any suggestions or criticisms that would make the Business Course more bene- ficial both to the student and to the firms who may employ them. Of those replying to the question, XYhere- in are the boys and girls who come into your employ or under your observation most deficient in business training,'l 73 per cent see defects in penmanship, 53 per cent in ordinary business calculations, and 47 per cent in spelling and English. Other defects mentioned were: Lack of the power of con- centration, no initiative, laziness, lack of thoroughness, moral and physical weakness. Of those replying to the question, W7hat training is necessary to secure a clerical po- sition in your house and what qualifications are necessary to merit promotionf' 25 per cent prefer High School graduates and 12 per cent say the more education the better. Other qualifications demanded are speed and accuracy in figuring, some knowledge of ac- counting, ability to speak and write cor- rectly, interest in the work, close attention to details, experience, to be honest, truthful and conscientious, polite and respectful to all persons under all circumstances. Some suggestions as to how to keep the school in closer touch with the business world were: Lectures and talks to pupils by business men Qa few of them volun- teered to do sojg Visit business houses and observe methods , Study business conditions and transactions as set forth in the columns of the daily newspapers. All the replies were interesting and sug- gestive as well as of great assistance in learning what the subjects are that are thought the most important by many of the leading business men of our city. So far as possible, these suggestions are being car- ried into practice in the Business Depart- ment. To meet the demands of present day con- ditions, the Business Department of Wfest- port High School offers two years of book- keeping one ea' f si y 1 O penmanship, business correspondence and business calculations, two years of steriography, tWO yearg of typCW law HI To four Q necesf also T Engli one o years demiC points merci the b and 1 This more chine Th thing the r ploye busin gradi The emplf and t Th comr ograi press merc of cc sult 1 plete ter 1 acqu in a ment ducte It equa shor' H sal who The boy little iii :- attention t, truthful pectful to s. keep the business to pupils m volun- ss houses business 1 forth in bers. and sug- stance in that are my of the So far as eing car- s Depart- day con- of West- of book- business culations, years of THE wEsTPoRT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 79 typewriting and one year of commercial law and political economy. To graduate under the business course four years in the commercial branches is necessary. The high school graduate will also have completed at least three years of English, two or three years of mathematics, one or two years of history, and one or two years of science, besides enough other aca- demic and art work to complete the forty points required. He thus enters the com- mercial world much better equipped than the boy or girl who leaves the ward school and takes up work in a business college. This advanced training enables him to be more than a mere adder of figures-a ma- chine. The very fact that he does know some- thing more than is required of him is just the reason why he is valuable to his em- ployer-why he is being sought for by the business man of today in preference to the graduate of the ordinary business college.. The more knowledge he can bring to his employer the more he will be worth to him and the more rapid will be his advancement. There never was a time in the history of commercial progress when competent sten- ographers were in greater demand than at present. The High School with its com- mercial branches is the natural development of commercial requirements and is the re- sult of a demand for a more exact and com- plete business training. There is no bet- ter place for young men and women to acquire a practical business education than in a High School, with a Business Depart- ment properly equipped and justly con- ducted It is clearly understood that, all else being equal, the young man who understands Shorthand and typewriting can start out at Pl salary much larger than that of the one who does not know anything about them. The latter usually has to begin as an office bOy or in some other position where he has little chance to learn anything of the busi- ness proper. Often the stenographer does work which if he is ambitious will make him familiar with the business in a very short time. There is no better opportunity for a young man to be associated with skillful business men, to take their dictation, to think the same as they do, to carry out their plans and to hear their business con- versations. By taking their dictation he naturally absorbs a knowledge as to how large transactions as well as intricate affairs are conducted by men who have made a success in their line of work. Therefore it is but natural that an employer in looking for young men to fill positions of honor and trust should take thesman who has served him as private secretary and thereby ac- quired the knowledge of how to do the work as he wants it done. These twin arts, stenography and type- writing, develop memory and great concen- tration of mind. They also develop the ability to go into minute details, which is so very essential in business. It is on ac- count of this experience in stenography that there are so many prominent men to- day in every department of life who are aole to trace much of their success to the opportunities they have enjoyed through a knowledge of these subjects Wliy do thousands of business men make a practice of employing only young men as stenographers? It is simply because they recognize the importance of stenog- raphy and typewriting as a training school for young men for responsible positions in business. The value of shorthand and typewriting to the high school boy or girl who con- templates taking a college course should not be overlooked. To be able to operate the typewriter skillfully and accuratly may be made the means of considerable income during his or her college course, and the advantage of being able to takC H0165 111 shorthand is of almost inestimable value to the college student.

X viwi CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS BASKET BALL TEAM SENIORS 82 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHGOL HERALD- BASKET-BALL. Basket-ball for two years has occupied the center of the field. W'hen one is at a ga111C, listening, he suddenly realizes that this is the greatest hope we have for future democracy in' the school. The enthusiasm awakened there, is perhaps, one of the few things that are not narrow in their appeal, and, best of all, is shared irrespective of societies. Yet, as no silver cloud but has its dark lining, so too this has its less cheerful side. The enthusiasm shows a few incipient signs of degenerating into star-Worship. Happily, however, this has been held at bay in a large measure by the splendid team spirit our boys have shown among themselves, and their willingness to sacrifice a superficial brilliancy to the real honor derived from being a member of at team that is a team and not a collection of stars. Well, it might have been worse. As it is, the flying hnish we made saved us the humiliation of having to eat Cen- tral's dust, and gave us the distinction of being the only team to beat the champions. Vtfe defeated every team in the League and did them up worse than they did usg and when we were beaten, it was on the free throw score, except at Kansas City, Kansas. lt is said that an evil works for a bene- Ht if it is only bad enough. To be beaten was bad, but to be beaten by Kansas- well, it was the limit. lt worked for us by waking up the boys and the coach from some pipe dream-and then it was some- thing like the old days of Funny, Downs and f'Shin Carl. That was some change, from being licked by the tail endersi' to doing up the champs the way we did. All of which goes to show that dissen- tion and insubordination in a team will kill its chances every time. The order of the finish was not eatirely satisfactory to us or Centralg but then, as above, it might have been worse.

MANUAL GETS REVENGE. 34:29. For the first time in the h'story of the school, a Westport basket ball team was defeated on our own court, thereby smash- ing one of the proudest traditions of VVest- port. After having manfully defeated col- lege teams such as the K. U. freshmen and William Jewell there, who had played the score away from us on their own courts, we lost to a team of the lnter-Scholastic League. Manual did it, on January 21. But the defeat was honorable, the score going nip and tuck, now we leading, now they. The first half ended 18:16 for Man- ual. Again, the game was won on free- throws. Lynwood Smith, the red and white tosser,', making 11 out of 16 chances, while both teams got the same number Of baskets. Our team work was superior to theirs, but when it came to shooting, the forwards could not make the ball behave the way it should, all the time. Charlie again made his nice little long-distance con- nection. If it had not been for that basket -freethrow-point combination in the last five minutes, it is confidently upheld that we would have wong but what team would not get disheartened when their opponents are handed four points at a time?

What was getting to be the usual forty- minute spasm was pulled off in the Rain- bow Rink january 27, in which, as usual. we hooked on to the lemon end of a 31 to 29 score. The loss was in measure due 'to the misjudging of the staying qualities of the other team. It started out with a good mo- tive, but even good motives can be carried too far. H Coach Hoopes evidently wanted to give the second team a chance to go into a league game, so, in the first half, Ellis, Fulton. Strothers, Peckenpaugh and Smith were sent in, So much for the good motive. lt 84 THE WESTPORT HIGH p SCHOOL HERALD. worked all right, the boys easily rO1UpiHg around with the score which was 13 to 10 for us, when the smoke wagonw went off. Then came the mistake. Instead of put- ting in the first team at the beginning of the second half, Hoopes sent in the sub team again. They seemed to be holding their own for a while, but gradully K. C., K., crawled np, tied and forged ahead four points. Then, with only five minutes to play, Hoopes changed and sent in the first team. But they could not be expected to warm up and win a game in so short a time and only succeeded in gaining three points before the closs of the session. Wfhen we Hrst went in we heard the Kan- sas folks talking about a dark, shad owy horse, but we confidently paid no attention, thinking little of the shade y deal which was about to cast such a shad ow of gloom over our hofojpes. Shades of Ben Sweeney! but did you notice the pose of that free- thrower? VVe want to thank Fulton and Ellis for their fine freethrowing. VVithout them it would have been a good deal worse.

The session with the St. joe boys, which re sult was uninteresting for the same reason we gave for one other game, too one-sided, the score being 46 to 9-for us, for a change. There were two possible reasons for our breaking traditions and winning a game, first, the fact that the St. Joe boys had that afternoon attended the funeral of a friend, who had been killed in an auto accident, would not naturally augment their playing abilities, presupposing, of course, that they previously had some-and second, Sweeney was back in the game. He had been secretly practising with the team for two weeks and was in fine form. HHis master- ful presence seemed to enthuse a new spirit into the team -we guess that was what was the matter, for the team work and shooting was immensely better than that in some other games we prefer not to speak of. The hrst half ended 21 to 6, then the local boys seemed to take a new grip and in the next half manfully garnered in the whole sum of 3 counts. There were two St. Joe players who ought to be mentioned. One, a guard, evidently believed that his mission in life was to keep his man from touching or even seeing the ball. To this end he showed how much he loved his man by holding his hands and hugging him con- tinually, right out in the light, too. tfiirls, you ought to go after him.j VVhen Hnally Qliillilifffai.bifQif..lia1.i..I1iS 'im 8 .huge Q V -. 1 disappointed and soon left the game.

Saturday, February 11, the Gym'l wit- nessed a combined basket ball and wrestling carnival. The Central and Westport teams mixed for the first part, while the second extended all through the game, Bonnyi' Reber against all comers. The team had Hcome back with a vengeance to avenge that humiliation of january 14, and they certainly did. Our reversal of form was largely due to the reinstatement in the ranks of Sweeney, last year's captain. It was his influence, more than his work, which counted, as he was so carefully guarded by both Reber and Cheek that he could only get two baskets. His playing at St. joe had been carefully concealed from the Centralites, and when he was seen ambling out on to the fioor, a rearrangement was made in the Blue and VV'hite defensive machinery. Reber and Cheek were both delegated to him, leaving only the center to guard both Shep and Vvelch. This worked to our advantage, for, while Sweeney only got two baskets, the other tWO got four apiece. The game started out swiftly, and for about ten or fifteen minutes it was anyones game, the boys going nip and tuck with Central until it was nine all. Then the bovs raised it to 15 to 9 before the half closed, In the second half the boys encoun- tered no trouble in increasing the lead until it ended 30 to 21. The boys all played a uniformly good game, the passing easily outclassing that which the Blue and VVhite upholders had -on exhibition. Of our oppon- ents, Reber was especially anxious to get that ball. In this cause he would cheer- fully get down on the floor and roll arounfl with his competitor in his efforts to secure it. Hurd was the star of the Central bunch. making two of her three baskets, each of them being very difficult shots. The free- throwing was not very good on either side, Ben only making 10 of 25 chances and VVoodbury but 15 of 28. The score: XVESTPORT 30. G. FT. F.

Another goose egg was wiped off West- port's record in basket ball Saturday, Feb- urary 18, when the team handed the Topeka boys the small handle of a 43 to 18 scrre. VVhen we were up there they licked ui Z3 to 18: so when they came down here we applied the Golden Rule and returnrd the complement-with additions. The Topeka bunch could not seem to find their feet in the first half and it ended 20 to 7. ln the final spasm they did a little better-but not much, only making 11 additional points, while we made 23. Tlioiigh we do say it ourselves, our team outclassed them in every point of the game, guarding, passing and under the basket. Heil was the principal man on the Topeka team, making 8 of their 18 points. The next largest individual score was 3-all free- throws. Ragan, a supposed VVestport guard, made 3 baskets. Charlie. however. couldnft make the ball behave and only get 1. WESTPORT 43. G. FT. F.

Hooray! Vlfe made a fiying finish anyway. VVe struck the old champion- ship gait February 25, when we put the kibosli on Manual's peimanters. On that fateful evening there were no preliminaries to aggravate the interest of the spectators, the boys plunging into the melee promptly at 8 olclock. tO! History was made that night! For once an event was pulled off on schedule timelj Both teams went in with determination. Manual to finish the season undefeated, and Vlfestport to retrieve her honor. For a great while it was close-too close in fact for comfort, neither bunch of rooters being able to sit still long, as their team would no sooner take the lead than the other would parry and forge ahead. O! it was close, all right! The first half ended 19 to 17- against us Ctoo close for them to say much.1 The second half resumed the see-saw agony for some time, until a run of 6 field goals in about 180 seconds gave us a com- manding lead. After that the services of a cheer-leader were dispensed with, when- ever one of our boys got the ball being a signal to get up and commence yelling for the basket which would follow in the course of a few seconds. Finally Smith, of Man- ual fyes, even the great Lynwood himselfj, broke down at the continued ill luck of his guards and missed 6 out of 10 freGtl1FOWS- and with him down went the whole team. All things, however, have an end, and the finish of this particular session was 53 to 30 for us! Oh, you kids. Smith. of Manual, was unquesticnably their star-24 of their 30 sliekels being dirertlv accounted to him. This time Charlie get his basket and Ragan was the goat. The score: VVESTPORT 53. G. FT.

About the little, little matter in the northwest corner, in the first half. Disregarding the justice or injustice of the offense or de- cision, an officials word should be inviolable and he should stick to it. SECQND TEAM. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we wish to call your careful attention to our sec- ond team. It's getting to be some pun- kins in this neck of the woods. After defeating the Manual aggregation of scrubs and getting stung down at the Locust Street school, it grew dissatisfied with the Mutt League and started out hunting in the Major team bunch. It succeeded in bagging Lib- erty, 25 to 21, K. C., K., one session, 13 to 10, and Mt. Wasliiiigton, 38 to 25. After which it came back and did up Manual again. The team consists of Ellis and Fulton, forwardsg Strothers, captain, and Wea1', cen- ter, and Smith, Rogers, Peckenpaugh and Cornell, guards. VVESTPORT 11, 25: LIBERTY T, 21. Friday, january 13, the second team squad went down to see what luck they could have against the Liberty boys. They suc- ceeded in carrying off a good game, 25 to 21. The game was played on the VVilliam Jewell floor. It was nip and tuck from Stal-15 to hnish, the score being undecided all the time, first one team leading' then .the Other, The first half ended 16 to 14 fm- us, The boys seemed to have had a Hue time the first half, everyone except Feickenpaugh, of Vifestport, and Mitchell, of Liberty, gathering from 1 to 6 fouls. The last half the boys were more gentlemanly, 3 fouls bv Mitchell being the best score. In points 'the half was also slower, West- port only gaining 2 goals and 4 freethrows, and Liberty only 1 and 5. Ellis did some freethrowing, 7 of 10 chances. The score: VVESTPORT 25. G. FT. F.

One large defect of Mt.

The freethrowing on both sides was bad, but theirs was quite a little better than ours: they got 6 out of 19. while our kids could make the bladder behave only 3 of 13 chances.

CThree times.j For the second and third times the second team has looked at the Manual scrubs. Febru- ary 17 they casually observed them, 23 to 20, and February 18'they took a good, care- ful examination of them, 27 to 20. The earlier observation we did not wit- ness, as it was played as a preface to the Manual-St. joe game. The records of it does not look very good for Manual. It should have been called, instead of a game, 89 H S010 by Powell, he having scored 12 points, 10 of them freethrows. Of the other 8, 12 were awarded. Hoopes used a new man, Kuntz, in this game.

Wie apologize for a mistake we made. In the mid-year number we announced that the Soccer team would play a return game with W'illiam Jewell, but the game failed to ma terialize. However, we are promised that Soccer will be continued successfully next year. It will not be the same as introducing a new game and will, therefore. go easier and better. NVe hope so. It's a good game and we would like to see it stay in Vtfestport. Also go-ne up in vapor is the Lacrosse agi- tation. However, it never got beyond the talk stage, so we donlt know what we missed. XVe understood the chief objection lay in the CX- pense involved. Every applicant for the team would have to buy his own stick and take chances on ever getting to use it to any ad- vantage. As the sticks cost fro-m two dollars up we can hardly blame the powers that be for not letting it through. MORE TENNIS. May 6, High School day at K. U., Dix Teachenor and Raymond McKee, winners of the school tournament held last fall, went up to Lawrence to represent VVestport in the In- ter-Scholastic Tennis tournament. In the doubles the pair succeeded in cleaning up everything in sight. Their score, in the finals was 6-3, 10-8, 3-6, 6-4. Then Teach- enor went in and worked up the singles. His final score was 6-3, 6-2, 6-3. Stivers and Colton, as another team from VVestport, played up to the finals, but lost to the champs.', By capturing both the singles and doubles VVestport took the Missouri Valley Inter- Sholastic championship. For winning the doubles the team of Teachenor and McKee was given a silver cup and a gold medal for each. Teachenor was awarded another cup and medal for his win in the singles. THE r:LANKETs. This year the Athletic Board got real sporty and purchased from Schmelzers' ten blankets. They were the best college blankets on the market and their purchase puts VVestport ,way above the other schools in its appreciation and protection of its athletes. They are very con- venient on windy days when the boys are waiting around between events. They are of heavy blue felt, edged with yellow Cto rep- resent old goldj with a large yellow VV in the center. They are let out to each boy, his name and the number of the blanket being taken, before every meet or workout and he is responsible for that one until he checks it back in. TRACK. Track work this year, as usual, has not distinguished itself with great brilliance. Somehow or other the boys donlt take the interest in it they should. VV'e donlt see why, because it is not only the most health- ful form of athletics, but the chances for re- wards are greater. The boys who have been faithful are amply recompensed for their labors in many ways. A point winner is talked of through the school and a record breaker through the city and the Missouri Valley, and either gets his XV -that cov- eted of articles. The winners of their letter this year are George Ragan, Paul Shepard, Arthur Fulton, Allen Taylor, G. D. M IO11es, R. Small, C. H. Fawcett, Alvin Chap- man, George lflollman, Clyde Menke, Wife made some advance in the quad- rangle-ten points-and made two firsts more than last year, and won a dual meet with Kansas.

In some ways it was better and in some worseg for instance, they did go 8 feet l0 inches in the pole vault, but as to -13 seconds for the l00-oh, my. Another very classy event was won because all, save one, of the competitors were conspicuous by their ab- sence Cloud applause hereD. The final round- up of points showed the Seniors were the winners with 872, while the Freshies, juniors and Sophomores finished in the order named with 45, 42 and 282 respectively. Those Freshies are starting out well and we hope they will do something for the school in the future. MQ.-KAN. TRACK MEET INVITATION. Friday evening, March 10, representatives of the track team participated in the invitation events of the annual Missouri-Kansas meet, a 50-yard dash and a mile relay. Ragan won his heat in the 50 by only a narrow margin, but when it came to the finals he literally 'fwalked awayf' from his competitors. I-Ie finished about two yards ahead of the Held. His time was 5 :4-5. In the relay we did not have such good luck, the team of Eisel, Vifolfberg, Fawcett and jones C1Geo. D. M.D only succeeding in defeat- ing Manual and getting second. The winning Blue and Wfhite team made it in 3 :48:2-5. kj c. A. c. MEET. March 25 some of the boys went down to the annual K. C. A. C. indoor meet and-well, while they didn't exactly cover themselves with laurels, still they let the rest know that Wfestport was on the may, anyway. Rag-an, of course, cleaned up the Inter-Scholastic 50 in 5:4-5, with Sunderland and Charlten of lfVentworth second and third. Fulton got third in the scratch Inter-Scholastic 440, which Vtfoodward of Lawrence won in 57 :3-5. Tay- lor got, third in a similar 880, won by Morse of Central in 2 30722-5. In the relay with Cen- tral, the team was changed a little, Fawcett, Covington, XVolfberg and Jones running, ag Eisel had hurt himself earlier in the evening, but again we lost, though only by a narrow margin. The time was 3:46 2-5. K. C. K. ,DUAL MEET. The annual Dual meet with Kansas City Kansas, was run off with the usual result, April 19, down on the Speedway. The score was 88 to 20. The Speedway was not much of a place for a meet on account of the poor acco-mmodations for the crowd. Most of the watchers wanted to get a good close view, not thinking they were incommoding those across the road on the hillside, and the teachers had some trouble keeping them away. Kansas only got one first, Barclay, in the 120 hurdles, but he took it well in 15:4-5, his nearest com- petitor being l6 4-5. The high jump was pretty good, 5 feet 6 inches, and the discus at 84 feet 4 inches. In the l00 there were no finals because Vtfestport got both places in each heat.

'Central repeated her experience of last year by taking the Second Annual Quadrangular meet, May 6, with 60h points to her credit. ll r i 1 1 l last year show that XYestport is coming up at the others expense. Last year it was the same order with the scores Ci-1, 54, 21 and 4, To make the competition more interesting, two cups have been offeredg one from Har- vard goes to the school which wins it three years and the other from the Princeton Alumni Association of the Southwest is an annual one: 1'. c. a new one is put up every year. Most of last year's records on the track were lowered, but the weights weren't even looked at. The mile at 5: last year was the best. lt was cut to 4:39724-5 by Taylor, after a very pretty race. The quarter, 53 :4-5, was some 'Jetter than 57, too. The 220 hurdles was bet- tered 1 2-5 seconds and the 220 dash 1-5. The 'ialf mile is now 2 108 2-5, in place of 2:13 3-5. The pole vault went up o inches, anrl the fiigh jump IM. The 110-pound relay was very interesting and finished just like the meet. Dlclntyre of Central was a surprise in the high jumpg in our meet with Central he couldn't take 5 feet o inches, but this time he left the rest there and went 5 feet 7 inches.

Four boys went up-Ragan, Shepard, Taylor and jones. They collected 6 points for us. Ragan second in the 100, which was won by NVood, of Omaha, in l0:l-5g Shepard third in thx high jumw. mak- ing 5.6 CWiley, of York, went out at 5:l0D3 and Jones fourth in the quarter, which was run in 58:2-5. Taylor failed to place in the mile. In the quarter it was decided to do away with the heats and run it in one race. jones drew the outside end of the second row, the worst place possible. In the mile Taylor was third out on the back row. This was probably the cause of their showing. Central won the meet with 54M points. K. U. HIGH SCHOOL MEET. A large team was sent up to the High School meet at Lawrence, May 20, and they had fine luck, cornering 342 points and easily should- ering Manual into third place by 7Lfi points. Central won with 58M1, and .11 Reber won the individual cup. Ragon won the 100-yard dash in 10:3-5 and the 50-yard dash in 5:4-5, es- tablishing the reco-rd. Taylor took the mile after a pretty race in 4:42 l-5, lowering the record. Shep and 'Fulton tied for first in the high jump with Mclntyre CC.D and Eichi enlaub CM.D at 5:6. Shepard got second in the broad jump and Menke in the pole. Small got third in the shot and Fawcett in the 220- yard hurdles. Fulton got fourth in both hur- dles. A one-lap relay team got third. BASEBALL. Once again some excitement came up for baseball. Petitions were sent through all three schools in town. The one at Manual, however, was promptly squelched and al- though those here and at Central received many signatures nothing came of them and all hopes of an lnter-Scholastic League went to sleep again. An lnter-Class League was formed, though, and played up a schedule. just be- fore going to print the standings of the teams was as follows: Wfon. Lost. Per cent. Seniors. . .... 3 1 .750 Juniors. .... 3 1 .750 Sophomores .... 2 2 .500 Freshmen. . .................... 0 4 .000 A few games remain to be played after this is in print, but we couldn't wait any longer for them. A school team was also organized, the squad consisting of Rodgers, Tiede, D. Johnson, W. VVebb, Allen CcaptainD, Ragan, Teachenor, Lyle, Wea1', Sweeney, Shofstall, J. Downey, C. Downey, Eisel and Ranson. They have played quite a few games with different teams. They won from K. C., K.. ll to 9 once, but lost another time 8 to 6. They beat Rosedale 8 to 0, Central ll to 5 and Evans Drug Co. 8 to 2. We got stung by Independence 8 to 7 and Excelsior Springs 5 to 1. They have played a fine game of ball and should have their picture in the Herald, but they got started too IMC 10 have it. elni0DS History of the Class of Nineteen Eleven F the question: After the faculty what runs Wlestport High School -were to be asked the only possible answer would be-the Seniors of 1911. Never before has such a class received its sheepskins from Westport and never shall there be its equal. VVe say this not to discourage the struggling under-graduates and future students but merely to set before them a goal, towards which they can strive but may never hope to attain. VVC were the last class of Freshmen in old Westport and there our future geniuses were tenderly reared. Three years ago we entered the magnihcient portals of our new home and almost immediately we seized the reins of gov- ernment. VVe became the envy of the Seniors and even the mighty juniors fearfully looked to their laurels. From this beginning we have become the main prop of the school. For our standing in scholarship you need only glance at the starred list to be convinced that the future f'literats and scientists of the century will be recruits from our ranks. In debating also we have borne the palm. Of the eighteen debaters chosen to represent VVest- port in the last three years thirteen have flown the tlag of lUll. Four of the remaining five were on the teams when we were as yet Soiphomorcs. Of the nine men engaged in declamation contests in these same years eight will sit with us at commencement. And, we ask, who have been the back-bone of the l'lliRAl,lJ staff and who have ruled our clubs but members of this class. Hut, perchance, gentle reader all this will lead you to believe that we are men and women of brain rather than of brawn, of mind rather than of matter. liut such is not the case. We are well-balanced and on our roll are the names of athletes who have represented XYestport on the field and in the gym-men who have downed school after school in contests for basket-ball chamlmionships-men who have carried the blue and gold to victory in many a hard fought race and battle. And now you wonder that we set ourselves up as an ideal to which others should look for inspiration! And now you marvel that we fear for the safety of the school! Un all sides is the question heard: XYho will take our place? llut consoled we leave these halls of learning for we go with the thought that our tield of inliuence is only enlarged-now we can run the World!

We have outgrown the callow youthfulness of our Freshmen days, long ageg neither are we that horrible night- mare of high school caste, the arrogant Jun- iors, nor the superannuated individual known as a Senior-but we are Sophom-ores, the mose brilliant class in the school. It is true we were not allowed to elect officers this year, for evidently the faculty decided we had no use for such a commodityg so we are here on our own merit, represented as a class, not by a group of self-conscious young people, sitting in a row for their pic- tures to be taken. That is really all officers are good for in a Sophomore class-to have their pictures taken. Now we really could not spare a single member from our illus- trious body, so the only thing we could do was to appear before you as a unit-the Class of 1913! The Juniors boast that they were the first I 1 L . I - -. Q to enter the new building. Yes, by a violent and frenzied scramble, they managed to get into the new school, just because it was new. We arrived a year later, after Wlestport had won a name for itself among other institu- tions of learning. XVe are a select body, cool and conservative, not rushing with wild tumultuous haste, stumbling and tripping over each other in clamorous endeavors to get there first. VVe may not have made ourselves very well known, as yet, but we are laying the foundations for a long and glorious career. Here and there one hears of a Sophomore achieving distinction, and this causes surprise. It need not. You will hear more and more of us as time goes on, until at last the cul- mination of all this wisdom and greatness will be reached-in the most wonderful class ever graduated from Xiiestport High School -the Class of l9l3!

The chief reason for this is that a Freshman does not become well enough known for the club members to de- cide whether he is qualified for membership. But at Westport this obstacle is overcome by having the teachers recommend anyone who seems qualilied for club membership. As ,most of the societies have one purpose in view, this is easy to be done. In the Civil Government classes parlia- mentary rule is being taught, with the pur- pose of iitting the Freshman for club mem- . . 4 77 ' bership, and a miniature 'Congress 15 he ach him always to have something to say in regard to current topics and to frame speeches in legal phraS6S. The Freshman class has 110 individual stars, for the Freshman year is but Pfepafa' tory for the higher classes. In the first year wa at high school a person must break a Y every Monday to te from the customs which he has followed during his ward school course, and he must change from being,of the highest class to the lowest, from being envied to being im- posed upon. The studies which he takes are usually Nioundationsi' or rudiments, sub- jects which pave the way for the next yearis work. Being but arbitrary rules, they have no variety, and consequently no interest for the pupil. A teacher in this school says that she sin- cerely pities those who quit school at the end of their Freshman year, because they have had all the drudgery without reaping the fruits of it. But even if we are now but in a transi- tional stage, and are not really a class, we shall be Sophomores next year, and we hope to assist in the education of next year's Freshmen as much as the Sophomores of this year have helped in ours.

S , ffw it Vlaavvei F ANY of our last year's exchanges have been slighted this year, please attribute this fault to the fact that our old exchange list disappeared, and conse- quently an entirely new one had to be made. VVe would like to have all of these on our list again, however, if they will kindly let us know. AIS OTHERS SEE US. The January edition of the VVlESTPOR'l' HERALD is an exceptionally good paper. It has a large and interesting Literary Department, and a Local Department above the average. Mixing the jokes in with the ads. might be excusable in a small, weak high school paper, but for a paper like THE HERALD to keep up this backwoods custom greatly mars the ap- pearance and quality of THE Herald. - Nautilus. 'ATHE HER.XI,I'J, one of the welcomed new- comers, should not be passed by without par- ticular mention .... - It surpasses many of the other papers in quality. One of its ex- cellent features is its clear and systematic ar- rangement. --Reifiete, lVas11i1zgt01zI, D. C. The Scrip is always a welcome arrival, for there are few that surpass it in real worth. It is to be congratulated especially consider- ing its age, for few so young attain such success. lt is arranged artistically through- out, and the co-ver of the April number is certainly fine. The Rc-Pictu, Central High School, XVash- ington, D. C., makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Your paper shows inge- nuity, and your stories are excellent. Your poetry is especially good. Said and Done, from Muskegon, Mich., is all that its name suggests. lt is a good, healthy paper, and shows school spirit. Polaris, from Columbus, Ohio, is a very interesting paper. Your stories are well got- ten up, and your local department is particu- larly good. Poetry would help your paper, however. Thr' High Srlzool News, from St. Louis, is indeed a most excellent monthly paper. flood hard work is displayed on every page. i The Red and Black, XVendall .Phillips lligh School, Chicago.-Your Paper is one of the best we have received: it is arranged so systematically and the material is so well pro- portioned.

THE. WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. IZI The Student, Central High School, Detroit Mich.-Your fraternity number contains ex- CCPtlO1lI:1lly good stories and poetry. Lunziuary, Central High School, Kansas City, Mo.-Your stories are good and the athletics are well written. The whole paper displays a strong school spirit. Its appearance might be improved if the advertisments were left off the back cover. The Nautilus, Manual, Kansas City, Mo. Your Easter and January numbers contain many good locals and much educational mat- ter. But your magazine would be improved by more light matter-stories, for instance. The Polytechnic High School Magasriue, from L-Os Angeles, though insignificant ex- ternally, at least as regards size, is brimful of good things within. The stories are excel- lent, and every department shows careful sift- ing, so that only the best material is allowed to enter its pages. We desire to thank our many exchanges for their prompt and regular appearance dur- ing the past year, and to compliment them on their interest and attractiveness as a whole. Wie are much pleased at the expressions of appreciation of our magazine, which We 'have found in them, and at the friendly criticisms, by which we will certainly endeavor to profit.

They sat upon the davenport, I Midnight was drawing nigh,- A smile was on the maiden's face, A tear in the young man's eye. For had she not, in accents gay, Refused to be his wife? For she was rich and he was poor ' And she couldn't stand the strife. I love you not, the maiden cried, That is, enough to wed, For I must have all luxuries. Farewell, the young man said. He left the house with head erect, A purpose in his heart. He swore he could not bear it, And from this world he would depart. He reached his humble dwelling place, Took a pistol from the shelf, And put it to his batted brow, And then-he shot himself. When the maiden heard this awful news, She to her father fled. Father, I love hiin so, she cried, And then-she, too, died. -Anna Bartlett. EIGHTH HGUR VAPORINGS. Old Brother See, I loved hini well, Better than words can ever tell. But I cannot see it in my power To love hizn for this-Eighth Hour. You ana' I were throwing chalk, See was making his little talk,' Once, too oft' we threw that sphere, That's why Bigney has us here. fThis oracle works from 2:30 to 3:20 dailyj --R. H. Garcelon. THE FRESH IE'S DOG. A Freshie had a dog one day, llfhich at home would not stay, So, when the boy went to school, The little dog followed, too. The Sophoniore looked with disdain, The funior frowned from his heights of fame, Upon the poor innocent dog. But the Senior, grave and sedate, Gave a whistle and the dog flew in his wakeg It was lifted with care, But was forcefully thrust into the open air. The Freshie looked on with tearful eyes, But he was soon put wise That dogs are not allowed in the corridors, For those are tlze Principal's orders. ' -Mabel H. Bolen THE SEVEN XVONDERS. The first of all our wonders here Is-Miss De lflfitt forgot to sneer Or give a Freshie admonition llfho whispered of his own volition. The next, Miss Fisher did not beguile Iifith her sweet, radiant, golden sniile,' And blithe Miss Hodshier, for a while, Has spared the rod and spoiled the child. A. S. Huinphrey has snrnzised That Shakespeare can be criticised. And gay Miss Shelton changed as well, Doesn't always flirt like ?. flfr. Hoopes didn't choke An athlete when he took a sinoke: And last, Mrs. Bishop-is't a dream. Gives two whole atoms of ice cream. -Herbert G. Cook.

I33 '.- l'l :SE Why Accept a Car That Within 90 Days Will Be Out Of Date VERYONE knows that the l9I2 models will be out in July and August of this year. You must admit that many makers are planning thelr I9 l 2 cars along the lines of the present HUDSON 33. That means that the models of those cars now sold as l9ll cars will be out of date after July first. THE HUDSON 33 is two years ahead of others because it is physically impossible for other manufacturers to so quickly change their plans that in all details they can follow this new type of design- ing-the type of simplicity-elimination of many parts-making every- thing clust proof-extra heavy frame-and in many other ways im- proving automobile designing as it has been done. That is why the HUDSON 33 that you get now will be as modern in I9 l 3 as cars of other makes that you will be able to obtain then. The HUDSON 33 is furnished in three types: a Touring Car at 5I,400, a Pony Tonneau at 51,450 and the Torpedo at 51il!500. These prices include complete equipment with dual ignition systern, including Bosch -magneto, mohair top, Prest-0-Lite gas tank, gas and oil lamps, tools, repair kit, etc. HUDSON 33 SEE THE TRIANGLE ON THE RADIATOR NW SME - H int f A The l3o ol Automobile CO yi , S h 3329 Home Phone, South 856 3l00 MAIN ST. g Bell Phone out I W L r? 11 ,O X EEE 34 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD.
