Yes, the class of ONTRARY to the custom of former '16, the one and only, the great- est galaxy of shining stars Westport has gazed upon Cno telescope neededj is now a thing of the past, a glorious memory. We are alumni! We have worked for four years. On rare occasions we have even worked hard. But now it is all over. To prove this to yourself, O Senior, finger your way gently over those glossy leaves until you reach a spot near the end. We hope it will not turn out to be a grease spot. There- that spot-'tis yourself. Be amazed! You may not believe it, but it is your likeness that confronts you. Seniors, this book should be one of your most precious possessions. It contains your fondest memories. iSee pictures of facultyj We feel that the Juniors, too, who will be Seniors tomorrow, the over- ripe Sophomores, and the almost ripe Freshmen, wil not be uninterested in this volume. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Mr. Goodale have labored o'er it. Among ourselves, we think itis a pretty fair little pamphlet. We are naturally prejudiced in its favor. You may not like it half as well as we do. But nevertheless, here it is-Herald, W. H. S., 1916. Q , years, the CRIER and HERALD of 1915-1916 are both edited by the same staff. It was thought that the CRIER Staff, having worked together the part of the year preceding the prepa- ration of the HERALD, would be able to make an earlier start, already having a preliminary knowledge of committee work and arrangement of material. Besides this, the arrangement of this year elimi- nates the necessity of electing new mem- bers to the HERALD Staff, affording a splendid opportunity to save trouble and time. In this way, the Staff gets an entire year of practice in editorial work, and by April each member ought to have an ex- cellent knowledge of what he is expected to do to make a successful annual. By hard work all year with our able and help- ful adviser, we feel that we have reason to hope that the HERALD will be received as a success, as we have put forth our best endeavors to make it so. l-1 Another honor was added to Westport's list this year, which is getting to be a habit with us. Roderick Osborne, a member of the Class of '16, won the appointment to Annapolis out of a large number of con- testants. This was not only an honor for Westport, but also for Roderick. He was not able to be present at Commencement, having been forced to leave May 31 for his new school. The best wishes of the class and the school are with him. .,.---- V1-1, .,.,-we n H- ' ' M- Q--- if-Q, . .-: I-r.-141.-1..Q--1 ?'? 'f .111'fZf'1-f-4-' ' 16 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. FACULTY CHANGES. if HIS year has brought forth a great change among the faculty, in that last year's list of pedagogues has been sadly depleted and vacated positions ably filled by new instructors. With the departure of Miss Enyart, due to her promotion to Manhattan, Miss Bell was welcomed to her position as gym. in- structor. Miss Bell attended the Univer- sity of Minnesota and Columbia University of New York and has shown herself es- pecially adapted to this department of work. Miss Harriman, our former Latin teach- er, is now teaching Mathematics at Cen- tral. Miss Eggleston is her successor whose place in Study Hall is now filled by Miss Morrison. A matrimonial malady seems to be prev- alent among the female members of the faculty, Miss Denton, Miss Rapp, Miss Spencer, and Miss Stough having suc- cumbed to it. ' Miss Lily has taken Miss Denton's place in the history department, Miss Mundy, graduate of M. U., now acting as substi- tute. Miss Denton has become the wife of Mr. Irion, a former instructor at West- port and now a state high school inspec- tor. Mr. Sangster, graduate of the Univer- sity of Iowa, and the late supervisor of Manual Training and Drawing of the schools of Platteville, Wisconsin, is now the recognized head of the art department. Miss Lyons, graduate of Chicago Uni- cersity and a former Manual teacher, is now a member of our English department, receiving the position made vacant by the marriage of Miss Spencer. Miss Bone, teacher of Domestic Art at Manual has a single class in sewing at Westport. Miss Nathan is teaching type- writing at Central. Miss Meyers of the class of ,14 has taken her place in the of- fice. Mr. Appelboom accepted a professor- ship of Romance languages at K. U., his position as instructor of German having been filled by Miss Ross, graduate of Baker University and formerly a teacher in Atchison, Kansas, High School. The new teachers have all become very popular with the students, and we wish them every success in the years to come. THE SPIRIT IS HERE. -if HIS year has seen a renewing of the Westport spirit. A retrospect of this year's events cannot fail to impress one that Westport has hit her true stride. This new spirit has not manifested it- self merely in lung-power. In fact, yell- ing does not show true spirit, but only the enthusiasm of the mob. There has been little noise attending the re-birth of spir- it this year. Quietly and unostentatious- ly, all kinds of new activities, which de- note the presence of real school spirit, have been planned and carried to success- ful completion. The year has seen a better spirit of good fellowship among the students than in pre- vious years. Beginning with the Girls' Mixer, there has been a succession of gath- erings such as the Inter-Society Mixer and the Senior Party, all of which have demonstrated the democratic spirit of the school. The new enthusiasm has permeated club life. The different societies have all done better and more consistent work than last year. The members have worked together and have done all in their power for the good of their different clubs. For the first time, Westport has a French Club, which has been a success ever since its organization. All of the language clubs have shown the caliber of their work by staging well acted and well attended plays. The interest of the members in their own clubs has had a beneficial effect on the re jealor ing oi memk In itself partir girls ricult great track sport impoi serve Th port right varie dent: get c in th ulty a ma Wes' Way, are 4 to g succ this In som as a yeai the Edu posi VS exp' succ Boa Stel par this dur has ofessor- U., his having uate of teacher ne very fe wish come. g of the upect of fail to has hit sted it- zt, yell- nly the is been if spir- satious- ich de- spirit, uccess- mf good in pre- Girls' f gath- Mixer 1 have of the ed club ll done an last fgether for the or the L Club, ice its 2 clubs ark by Plays. 1 their ect on THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 17 a the relations amongst all the societies. Old jealousies have vanished, and a broad feel- ing of common interest amongst the club members, has taken its place. In athletics, the new spirit has shown itself by an increased number of students participating in the different sports. The girls have had hockey added to their cur- riculum, while the boys have turned out in greater numbers than ever for basket-ball, track, tennis, and baseball. The latter sport seems to be on its way back to thc important place in school life that it de- serves. These new activities and the better sup- port of the old ones show a revival of the right kind of spirit-not the rah-rah variety, but the spirit that induces stu- dents to make sacrifices for the school, to get out and really work. The awakening in the past year has been felt in the fac- ulty and student body alike, and has had a marked influence on both. We feel that Westport is on a ,higher plane in every way, due to this splendid new spirit. We are confident that this spirit will continue to grow, and give Westport even greater successes in the future than she has won this year. -11 OUR NEW GIRLS' ADVISER. In many of the schools of other cities, some capable woman of the faculty acts as an adviser or dean of the girls. This year for the first time in the history of the schools of Kansas City, the Board of Education has officially created such a position in Westport. While the new undertaking is yet an experiment, there is every evidence of its success and permanency. The School Board, in making its selection, named Miss Stella F. Hodshire of the Mathematics De- partment, to fill this position. Although this field is a new one for Miss Hodshire, during her fifteen years at Westport, she has always been an intimate friend of all the pupils and has served them as a willing counselor. She possesses not only the power but also the personality which make her a wise and sympathetic confidant, full worthy of her new title, Adviser to Girls. In addition to her duties as Adviser, Miss Hodshire takes charge of all social events connected with the school, has es- tablished, on a small scale, an employment bureau, and gives attention to such cases as are referred to the Emergency Room. - l DEBATE COMEBACK. tw ESTPORT has arrived in debat- ing! It has been a long pro- gress, and rather disappointing at times. Since we have con- fined our debating to contests with Kan- sas City schools, we have suffered one double defeat, and have never done better than to break, but we are there at last! After our debaters had lost three out of four contests last year, the worm turned. Westport, wroth from her reverses, rose up and willed to win. A much larger num- ber than usual tried out for the teams. When these had been selected, the mem- bers began to work, and toil as had never been done by any teams before in West- port's history. And the results broke all precedents. The boys scored a double vic- tory! Central was soundly trounced and Manual didn't even get one vote. Then the girls repeated-almost. Our negative team scored a well-deserved victory, and our af- firmative team won honor and made the other schools fear Westport, even in de- feat. So this year we have made debating his- tory. We have won a larger number of de- cisions and received a greater number of votes, than any other school. Thus we are the real city champions, even if Northeast does still hold the Amherst Cup.. u There is only one danger, which might Y., ...Q , ., Y fsrik-at 5 A ..-...-.. .,---,-.m'vw:-U21-1--'s 1 '::1?ITf-'fy' 'W' ' 18 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. come to other schools in a similar situation, and that is over-confidence. But this should have no terror for Westport. True, we have won enough ,to give us a great deal of confidence. In winning, however, the teams simply stirred Westport through and through. Not even a tiny, timid freshman but felt the electric thrill of vic- tory, and would almost die if necessary, if he could thereby make the debating team. The whole student body has an interest in debating, and a new desire to stand back of the teams has been manifested. This new enthusiasm will prove a powerful in- fluence next year in giving confidence, but .not over-confidence. We have lost too often to become conceited in one year. We have simply struck our stride, and are not going to become unduly excited over it. GIRL'S COUNCIL. The year of 1915-16 has been a most suc- cessful one for the girls' High School Coun- cil. The meetings have been interesting, and helpful. The petty problems of high school life, and the big problems of high school life were warmly discussed. The girls are really helped by these discussions. They leave them with a ,bigger feeling of responsibility, with a braver heart to shoulder their few trials and, best of all, with a feeling to get the most out of the many joys of life. The High School club has taught many girls how to be happy. On April 22nd, the annual banquet was held. This was a gathering of the groups from all the high schools. Westport had the largest number present, and Elizabeth Gleason, of Westport, was toast-master. The best thing of the year is yet to come. Sometime this summer, the West- port girls will go out to the Y. W. C. A. camp for four or five days of absolute joy. One who has never been there can not imagine what wonderful times the girls have. Oh! the memories! Hikes, ten- nis, and secret midnight, moonlight feasts! Mandolins, fortune telling, and stunts! THE BOYS, HIGH SCHOOL CLUB. ,tv HE most successful year of the High School Club of Kansas City, especially for Westport's division, has been completed. The closing banquet, held Monday, April 17, was at- tended by a group of real live fellows, and was a memorable occasion which gave great prospects for the club's welfare next year. Westport alone was represented by over seventy-five boys at that meeting. The club had a strong finish last year, and the enthusiasm seemed to hold over. For that reason we had a flying start this year. Of course, during the busy Christ- mas season, attendance dropped off slight- ly, but we finished even stronger than ever. From the very first Westport set the pace for the other three schools. At the first meeting of the club, two of the three officers elected were Westporters. Our own John Powell was elected president for the second term, this being the first time we have been thus honored since Rex Mil- ler held the office. Our average attend- ance was by far the best, moreover, we ex- perienced none of the fluctuations so con- spicuous in the other divisions. The Westport division of the girls' and the boys' High School Clubs gave a recep- tion on June 2 to the ward school grad- uates of our school district. The object was to interest these ward school pupils in taking a high school course and to help them bridge the great gap between the two schools. Our different school activi- ties, such as debate, athletics, literature, and social events were demonstrated to the guests. There is no doubt but that the reception accomplished its purpose. There are many reasons to which the club,s success may be attributed. Individ- ual work of several members accomplished much. Towards the end of the year, in- stead of discussing different topics of school life, we began to study Fosdick's, Manhood of the Master. Some very in- teresting meetings followed, thus creating a greater interest in the club. We wish to 'Shank Mr. Foster for his capable leader- Sh1l0 ln these discussions and we all feel that his efforts have materially aided the club's work. fl 4 4 We hae be: oil cit cla an we A1 Sa wz HQ br m W fo hz cc fi 1'6 CC UB. of the ,s City, ivision, closing was at- vs, and i gave 'e next ted by Jing. 3 year, l over. rt this lhrist- slight- ' than et the At the f three Our ent for t time lx Mil- ttend- we ex- o con- s' and recep- grad- abject ails in v help n the Lctivi- ature, ed to at the h the divid- lished .r, in- 3s of lick's, ry in- ating ,sh to ader- l feel d the r V' W lllllllllllll-2 'lway on tba fiiancb T WAS WITH DIFFICULTY that 4 we tore ourselves away from lovely southern California, the California of the picture-cards. We supposed that all kinds of experiences had been ours with regard to mountains, beaches, romantic old missions, Mexicans, oil wells, movie factories, and nut and citrus groves too common to excite the ex- clamations of any but the recently arrived and the native Californian. Reluctantly we left Los Angeles Cpronounced Loss Angle-us by the initiatedl , starting toward San Francisco. We were to stop about half way to visit some cousins, whom we had never seen. At midnight we changed to a small branch line without sleepers, where we had much merriment about our private-car. We curled up as comfortably as possible for a nap, or to look out at the grim Te- hachapis, passing, black and silent, in the cold moon-light, or at the solitary camp- fire glimmering far below in the canyon. About five-thirty in the morning, we reached our station and soon identified our cousin, who drove us home in his machine. And such a ride! After gliding for some fifteen hundred miles over the -boulevard- like roads of southern California, this was indeed a revelation. Now I can appreciate the probable feelings of a corn-cob in the process of being made into meal, or is it bran? After passing what seemed miles and miles of nothing, we sighted a collec- tion of trees and buildings in the midst of all this immense barrenness. That's the place, said our host, and we were most thankful. Driving through numerous gates, we came to the house, where our hospitable cousins received us. After a hearty break- fast, we were told something of the place. This fertile San Joaquin Valley alone is half as large as the State of. Iowa, our host told us. Perhaps you wonder why I say 'fertile,' when not a single crop is growing on our eight hundred acres. This afternoon I'll take you over across the val- ley to see the fruit ranch of a friend of mine. By the way, you notice we don't have 'farms' out here--they're all 'ranchesf H,,,,,- V.: i Ai: 1-QQ.,-g,,.-A-,..aq.1.-7l:-5-1-gg:-'r ... f-:-1.4-s .....,...--.- ,, g, Y.. , 20 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Well, he continued, the soil here is the same loose, sandy kind, and very rich. All it needs is irrigation, and that's com- ing soon. Our annual rainfall is about ten inches. In the meanwhile we raise stock. Little Clydena took me out to view her rabbits and puppy and the bright-eyed little chipmunk that let us come very near before he dodged down into his hole. At the end of the garden was a broad pond that mirrored the cool green trees sur- rounding it, and dignified gray geese float- ing over its surface-a refreshing spot in the midst of a general parched aridness. Called back to the house, we found that Walter, the stalwart six-foot cousin of twenty, was ready to go to town for ice, and wanted us to go along. The road in this direction semed a little more accus- tomed to travel than the others. On the way he talked of the state agricultural school at San Luis Obispo, which he at- tended in the winter. Here I might advise a course in Spanish as indispensable for all prospective California tourists. Also, while in the benevolent mood of advice-giv- ing, let me suggest to persons of commer- cial instinct that they take up the ice- business in that hot, dry place where it is sold at twice as high a price as here, and melts much faster. On the way back, flocks of striking-looking black and white birds flew acros the fields. With good- natured condescension at my ignorance, Walter informed me that they were mag- pies. Later, when the ice-cream had been made and eaten, the trip to the fruit ranch was undertaken. The ambitious mercury had been climbing till one could well be- lieve the stories that it sometimes reached a hundred and thirty in the shade, but I suppose it was not actually above a hun- dred and twenty that day. When sun- kissed California is mentioned, don't for- get that there is a sun-burnt part, too. In passing peach and apricot orchards, where the trees were heavily loaded with large, round fruit, one noticed that the leaves were crisply curled as with the first autumn frostsg but heat and drought were the causes. Not even weeds grew in the light-colored, sandy soil about the bases of the trees. Flat on the ground or tilted to receive the sun's rays, were shallow, wooden trays about a foot and a half square, on which the fruit, split in halves, was drying. I Across the road, one might see grape vines parching in the sun, yet bearing large bunches of delicious grapes. These vines were not supported on fences or ar- bors as they are here, but scrambled about over the ground at their own sweet will. This is the best region for both grapes and peaches. When we reached the orchard which we had come to see, its owner showed us the artesian well that furnished irrigation for his land. The water was gratefully cold. Passing the orchard, where fine peaches lay upon the ground as they had dropped, he told us that it was a very bad year for fruit-growers. At this our eyes must have enlarged about three diameters, for the branches were everywhere weighted down with the large blushing globes. You see, he said, there's such a big crop everywhere that the supply far eX- ceeds the demand. It hardly pays to dry them either. In good years we sell them to the canneries at seven dollars a ton, but this year we're glad to sell them at three dollars a ton for hog-feed-and at that, the hogs would be better fed on Missouri corn. Lest I shouldlose the little reputation for veracity I may have remaining, I shall forbear mentioning the grapes, but-nine of those peaches laid side by side reached the length of a full-grown yard-stick. In the cool of the evening we reached home again, after narrowly missing the scores of startled j ack-rabbits that hopped across the road and went bounding away over the fields. Family history was re- peated in detail by the sweet, gentle great- aunt, acros Then and l Su in m minc brist more I hous Y two ansv but ' I 1 for ' here rain screi inglj wre1 slee1 O. den: agili witl afra long half the hou' nes: of 1 excl of l pea' and dee' . , . ........g..i..,....i,1-g.1a..+.,, ..1...... .x,,5u,Au,,,,:,:Hl1.

Then someone called me to come outside and hear the coyotes howl. Such a mournful sound I had never heard in my life-a kind of a bark, then a weird, minor howl, long drawn out. The dogs bristled and barked, and we heard it no more. Do-do they ever come near the house ? I asked. Well, now. they do carry off a man or two once in a while but not so very often,', answered my big cousin in a serious voice, but with averted eyes twinkling. I was glad it was only once in a while, for when bed-time came I recollected that here the windows were removed during the rainless summer months, leaving only the screens in place. All the nights are brac- ingly cool, and it would be the most wretched victim of insomnia who could not sleep well there. On the morning of our departure, Cly- dena and I went horse-back riding. The agility with which she could open gates without dismounting amazed me, who was afraid to dismount for fear of having a long walk home. I am sure that we do not half appreciate our trees in this part of the country. When one has ridden for two hours in the glaring sunlight, the reason for the tanned appearance of California is perfectly apparent. The length of time one has dwelt in California can be esti- mated by the depth of leathern color of the skin. A large, grayish-blue, wading bird flapped away, as we rode along the top of the high embankment beside the wide ir- rigation ditch. It seemed as much sur- prised to see us as we were to see it. To the little girl on the bay horse it was merely commonplace, but she listened at- tentively to the description of an ordinary snow-storm. She had never seen snow, eX- cept as a white cap on a distant mountain peak nor have many who are much older than she. When we returned, we found that Wen- dell, a young giant at eighteen, had come back from hunting with a friend that morning. A white owl, doves, and one of those crane-like, bluish birds constituted the capture. Small game is plentiful, though I am unable to understand what it feeds on. That afternoon we motored twenty-five miles to Fresno for the train. As a fitting end to our unusual visit, we saw two Hin- dus, white-turbaned and in native costume, talking unconcernedly on the station plat- form. Katrina Baldwin, '16. Ebe Enrico 'Egg NCE in the little town of Rocksbury there lived a man who went by the name of Elijah Green. He was in the egg and poultry busi- ness. Now of course, living in the heart of the town, he was a prominent citizen, exceedingly prominent. He was an elder of his church and on Sundays would ap- pear with a black silk hat on his bald head, and wearing his swallow-tail coat. Oh! in- deed, Elijah was a prominent citizen! But the time that my story really' be- gins was at 6 o'clock in the morning when all Elijah's chickens began to arouse the town-folk with their cackling. Elijah appeared in a blue gingham shirt with a red tie around his celluloid collar. He took his key from underneath the ge- ranium pot on his front window-sill with an air of importance and unlocked his shop door. 22 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. This building was furnished with one show case, in which, arranged in a very peculiar design, were chicken feathers for hat-trimming-black, white, yellow, brown -with certain prices attached to each. Around the white-washed walls were stuck advertisements some of which dated back as far as ten years. One distinctly pre- sented iitself to the eye of the customer: SALE ON SHIRTS June 31, 1903. ROSSEN'S DRY GOODS STORE Biggest and Best Line of Goods in the West. And also a soiled piece of card-board on which was painted in red letters: EGGS 14 CENTS A DOZEN hung in a conspicuous place. Well, on this bright morning, Elijah's first customer was an old woman. She was dressed in a red cotton dress and had a white wool shawl over her head. Good mornin', Ellijah, I been workin' this morning. I dug all my pertaters al- ready. Crop's bad this year. I don't know what this world's coming to. There hain't a drop of water in the ground. But, Eli- jah, what I come here this morning for, was to git some eggs. My daughter, J une, is going to give a party and I got to git a cake made for her. Oh! these young ones! Why, Elijah your daughter's growed so fast 'at I hard- ly know her and my Junie sheis jist bound she's going to put her hair on her head this fall but I ain,t going to let her. No Siree! But Elijah you fix me them eggs and I'll pay you with those pertaters I dug this morning. .After this garrulous customer had left, many others came and made more or less queer bargains. One man loaned him the use of his horse and wagon, in payment for two dozen of Elijah's best. However some paid in ready money. About noon, a little girl with golden hair and blue eyes skipped into the store. She had on a white dress with a blue gingham apron. On her arm hung a pail to carry her eggs. The old man's eyes brightened at the sight of her for she was the pet of the town. Wal, Elizabeth, did you come ter see old Elijah, honey? Why ain't you in school? Why, Uncle Elijah, to day's a holiday, don't you remember? We're going to have an entertainment at the school-house to- night and all the big children are helpin' decorate. I want nine of your biggest eggs, Eli- jah, and can I go out and see Fanny? CFanny was her pet hen.J Run along, Goldlocks, and I'll pick out yer eggs. When she was ready to leave, he gave her the little bucket with the nine eggs, and one extra for good measure. On the way home, Elizabeth walked very carefully so that she wouldn't break her eggs. And all the while she wondered if her mother could possibly need that extra egg. No! oh, Elizabeth knew she wouldn't so finally after trying vainly to overcome her desire for that pretty little white thing, she set down her pail and picking out the biggest one she could find stood fingering it, wondering. Suddenly a funny idea came into her little head. She would bury that egg and then sometime when she wanted to play house she would know where she would find it. Then she could make a fire and have a good time. So finding a little stick she overturned some of the earth near her play house and Dut her precious egg down in the hole. Then covering it again, she took her pail and went home. 3 DEC rl: X :Zz It h ful sp' had b citizei in his Wei I will succes quain' risen dozen risen Rockl horro They break partie ties r Onr cake make womz Bu' bury Eliza most more Bu folk c digni play-. thusi a goo She seemi pulle4 in dof and i 3792111 . . . . .. .. , .. . . . . -,......,,.....,.,.....ua.- ..t,.a.,,..., e MMig:-L.-I+,,,,1Q,,,g,,,,...1.a.-.,.,A,.-:,,,,-,J:,,:,,7,,1,g,.3g ,g,,:,,,,,,,,,,...,........, v.,,,,,f.,g.r...:-zen... xx.. ,.-F -- V . - aid in an hair f.

Do you wonder why the increase in his fortune? Well, if you will promise to tell no one, I will truthfully give you the key to his success. Since you first became ac- quainted with Elijah, the egg market had risen from fourteen cents to ten dollars a dozen. With such mighty jumps had it risen that now, the commoner class of Rockbury people held up their hands in horror at the first word concerning an egg. They never had the luxury of eggs for breakfast and in fact, hardly any more parties were given. For as you know, par- ties require cake and cake demands eggs. One lady timidly ventured to serve some cake minus the eggs. However I will not make you sad by telling of that poor woman's fate. But now, much to the loss of the Rock- bury community, Elijah was dead and Elizabeth had lengthened her skirts al- most to her shoe tops. She was growing more and more like a lady every day. But one day, memorable to the towns- folk of Rockbury even now, discarding her dignified air, she went down to her old play-ground. And fired with a sudden en- thusiasm to build a little bon-fire and have a good time. She began to hunt for sticks. She noticed, especially, one peg which seemed to mark some resting place. She pulled to dislodge it from the ground but in doing so, pushed some of the earth away and disclosed-some thing white-What could it be? Was she blind or did her eyes betray her? No! no! that certainly must be an egg. Yes, she knew it must be an egg, al- though she had not seen one for so long that she hardly recognized it. Then with a flash it all came back to her. Why, this is the egg Elijah gave me and I buried here so long ago. What will mother say when she sees it? I must take it home to the children, won't they be de- lighted though '? With the egg held care- fully between her fingers she walked through the streets to her home. All the common people ran to the win- dows and stared at her in open-mouthed amazement. An egg! Who'd ever a thought it! Thick and fast ran gossip as to how Elizabeth, daughter of the poor widow that lived on Huckleberry avenue had ever gotten that precious egg. Oh well, said all turning up their noses, if poor widows can have eggs, its none of our business. One old man hobbled up to her on her homeward way and asked just to feel of it. Elizabeth was envied of all. She pos- sessed an egg. Unheard of! Unthought of! But the greatest delight reigned when Elizabeth came walking into her home with the treasure. An egg! But such a sad egg! Yet an egg is an egg. Wasn't it a shame she didn't find it sooner? Laura Chandler, '16.

What a home that .had seemed to the little fellow! The kindly care of his grand- father, never too busy to amuse him, the wonderful cave home, all this he had taken for granted throughout all his early years. And then how he loved to study and be taught by his loving and painstaking teacher the rudiments of the greatest arts of the world. For grandfather had not al- ways led this hermit life. Even at that day, fifty years afterward, the name of Titus Tiberius was spoken of with venera- tion in Rome. Many people still remem- bered with pity the young noble who had risen to the highest place in art and lit- erature in the Roman world and then, on the eve of his greatest triumph, heart- broken over his wife's crime, had fled Rome and tried to forget all under the blue Cam- panian sky. But now the young lad, thirteen years of age, was beginning to experience the changes toward manhood. Often he sat out under the great oak tree and, gazing into space, his artistic inheritance was aroused and he saw the wondrous beauty of that Campanian scene. How Wonder- fully blue was the Neopolitan Bay, seem- ingly at his very feet, and the beautiful green, Nature's favorite color, extending up and up to the very summit of Vesuvius, and then the mighty mountain itself, stretching out to the north farther and farther away toward Rome, the glorious capital of the mightiest and most powerful nation that ever ruled the world, toward Rome, the goal of his ambitions- .how wonderful it allwas! And then he would dream of how he might make a great name for himself over all the Roman empire, and that included all the world. For this was the wonderfully prosperous time of the reign of Titus, son of Vespasian, when the empire reached almost its greatest extent and all the world paid tribute to the crown of the Caesars. But of late grandfather seemed worried. He complained of visions at night and sud- denly he would wake up saying that he had heard strange sounds. But the boy, in his oblivious, youthful sleep, had heard none such. Well under the mountain in the back of the cave-home was a small re- cess and in the floor was a cleft, half a foot wide and about three feet long. 'Down and down stretched the cleft, seemingly bottomless, for one day Tiberius and Titus had dropped a burning torch down and had watched it fall, growing smaller and smaller into a mere speck and finally fad- ing from view. But time after time the old man was troubled by those visions and evil presentiments. Yet there seemed to be no cause. Then one day, as they were working hard together, suddenly came a deep rumbling as of thunder and they ran to the door, surprised that it should threaten a storm when they had had no knowledge of its approach. To their sur- prise, however, there was not a cloud in sight and the sun was shining brightly. Several times this occurred during the fol- lowing days, with apparently no reason, until one day the boy, noticing slight vi- brations around the cleft in the cave, knelt and, holding his ear close, heard faint, dis- tant mutterings. After that the cleft was closely watched and it was discovered that the rumblings had come from there. What could cause it? Surely no trouble could come to those vast stretches of southern Italy, lying peacefully under the golden, Italian sun! Day after day the rumblings gradually increased and both were occasionally disturbed by the vibra- tions. And then, one day, far, far down was discovered a little point of red.fire. Week after week the little speck grew, al- most imperceptibly. At first all this was the cause of much anxiety to Tiberius, but as the novelty wore off, it was taken more and more as a matter of course.

Twice Tiberius had taken the boy down to Pompeii and how the sights had surprised and amazed the young lad! When they showed him the amphitheatre and told him of the contests waged there, it seemed as if it was his dearest wish to see it all himself. And now one of the greatest shows of all was announced for his very birthday! How he begged and pleaded that they might go, but Tiberius had to take into account his own advanced years. At length he gave the desired promise. The boy was overflowing with joy from then on as he bade each short day good-bye and counted the lessening days and hours. Finally dawned the morning before the great day and how busy they were as they set the home in order and -prepared for their journey of the following day. When the boy went to bed that night he had fully determined to stay awake all night so as not to over-sleep, but soon Mother Nature called for rest, and she was irre- sistible. At about five the next morning, a loud rumbling and roaring went rever- berating through the cave, waking Titus and his grandfather. Then again to their terror it occurred. But that was all, al- though they noticed that the fire in the crevice seemed to have grown much larger and heaved back and forth. This was all forgotten, however, as they made prepara- tions for the day. Then they set out. It seemed as if all the world was turned toward Pompeii as they looked from their high vantage point over the Roman roads, thronged with people, leading toward Pompeii. They had gone down a slight distance toward the road when suddenly Tiberius slipped sev- eral feet and in turning to catch a hold, his foot wedged under a rock and stopped him. With the boy lifting the rock, he succeeded in pulling the foot out, but as it came, he L'-HVG 3 QFOSLH of pain and they found that, while not badly sprained, it was in no con- difion for 3 long tramp to Pompeii. The boy, with his fondest hope thwarted, bY'3V91Y helped his grandfather back to their home and then went outside to mourn alone. Hours went by and he Could See the people pouring into the great amphi- theatre, when suddenly he heard Tiberius call and hastening in, he found him kneel- ing by the crevice. The red, molten fire had risen far up and was heaving back and forth, still many feet below the surface. Later as they were eating lunch, they were almost thrown to the ground by a sudden heaving of the cave floor. Rushing to the crevice, there were mutterings and mighty rumblings and they found that the cleft had widened to over three feet and opened up far back into the mountain. A hundred feet down there was a veritable sea of molten fire boiling and heaving back and forth. Surely it was time for flight! So, picking up a few things, they set out for the sea midway between Herculaneum and Pom- peii. Painfully they wended their way down under the bright, blue sky, saving the ankle as much as possible. How glor- ious was Nature that beautiful day! Many painful steps they had taken when the boy, looking back, gave a cry of fear and to- gether they turned around. From the summit of Vesuvius was shooting up a mighty apparition as of a gigantic pine tree. Its trunk was black smoke and its branches living fire with lightning playing through them. Then the ground shook. The mighty cloud of smoke and ashes rolled towards them and clear to the sea itself fell an awful shower of burning stones cast up from the bosom of the mountain. No longer stopping to look, on and on fled the boy and the old man. But overhead darker and darker spread the mighty cloud. A night darker than the darkest night was rushing upon the realm ...- .. -1-7-:fr:f.ge:agu5::v.ff.'-v:n.-f-.w..Qf..4.1...e-i'itg:':7':7?fI 'f - ' ' . 26 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. of the sun at high noon-tide! And then while all else was blotted out by the dark- ness, blacker than that of Tartarus, sud- denly the mountain became lighted with an intense glow. It summit seemed riven in two as down its vine-clad sides flowed swiftly a mighty river of molten lava! Down, down it swept straight toward the man and boy, who stood like graven images, terrified and yet fascinated by the awful sight. How deathly stifling was the breeze that came from it as from a verit- able hell! It took the ridge by their home at a jump but, when it came to the great ridge on which the road they had left lay, it turned and continued its boiling, ghastly way toward Herculaneum. Hours and hours went by as the two struggled pain- fully onward towards the sea, guided only by the glare of the lurid mountain behind them. At intervals their way was lighted by flashes of lightning which were strik- ing on all sides. The darkness was suffo- cating and the ashes were lying many inches deep on the ground. But on and on they struggled. Finally they reached the sea and then safe in a ship, many prayers went up to mighty Jupiter thanking him that they had been unableto go to Pompeii and that he had given them strength for their es- cape. Returned to Rome, happy in giving all his knowledge for the good of the boy and realizing that the life of solitude was only selfishness, the old man took up his rightful place as head of the proudest of Roman families and the boy, Titus, at last recognized and acknowledged as a worthy member of that proud family, was well started on his career of fame. But they both felt that it was only because they had not been destined by the immortal gods to pass their lives in the selfishness of soli- tude, that they had been permitted to come safely through that terrible night at noon-day.

But talking about leaving Russia is easier than actually doing it. Russia plays the part of the bully who holds you and, kicking you about, shouts, Why don't you go? What are you staying here for?

On the train I overheard a conversation between two women which went thus: Where are you going? To Zhdxrs, about fifty miles south of here. Where are you going? To Pkyzshsky, about the same distance north. But say, aren't you sitting the wrong way? If you are going south, you had better sit facing the south. The two women, now sitting back to back on the same train, firmly believed they would reach their different destinations. The next morning we reached Libau, a port on the Baltic Sea. From there we went by boat to Copenhagen and then to Liverpool. Nothing unusual happened on the way except that the boat, which looked something like the ferry boat across the Missouri, nearly went under in one of the severest storms ever witnessed in the Bal- tic. If we had gone under then, we would have plenty of company now. We decided to stop in Liverpool two weeks. We had the time of our lives for there were innumerable new things to see. I remember the first glimpse I had of a negro. I'll bet I did the fifty yard dash in world's record time! The next morning I met another gentleman of color, but this time I didn't run away. No Siree! I man- aged to ask him why he didn't wash his face and hands. The negro burst out laughing, but I didn't see anything to laugh about. I thought things were get- ting mighty serious when you don't wash for so long that you become black. And the negro did laugh! I ought to thank my lucky stars that this Hgemmen of color had a keen sense of humor. Another thing also interested me, the two-storied electric street cars. I had seen all kinds of animals but not a single one of this breed before. Nevertheless, I soon learned to hop the car while the con- ductor was upstairs. One day a newsboy got off in a strange way. The car was go- ing as fast as it could and the boy just iglided off. I decided I wanted to do that, oo. V I didn't want to after that one time. A During one of these adventures we in- curred the enmity of a number of English school boys. On the other hand, we gained the friendship of a jolly cabman who Sort of acted nurse to us when we went out. 0119 dfe-'WY GV91'1i1'1g we were idling along the street when all at once these school boys jumped around the corner Indian fashion, and began pelting us with mud in all of its various forms. Of course, We started running, with our tormentors at our heels. By this time, however, our cab- man friend came up and began scattering the pests right and left. In order to im- press the beating more firmly in their minds, he decided to chase them. Some- how or other he began chasing me! I thought the man had gone crazy and I didn't want to get into the clutches of a madman so I lit out. It all ended with my sliding into a great big puddle of mud. You see Liverpool's streets were not so much better then than Kansas City's. I thought I was in for a good drubbing. H'I've got you now, you bloomin' bounder. I'll teach you to bother these foreigners. With these words he jerked me out of the puddle and began playing a tune on my ears. I began blubbering to him in the few words of English that I knew and he instantly recognized me. Be- lieve me, I prowled around indoors after dark during the remainder of our stay. Our two weeks being up, we boarded the liner Campania for Amreica. The Cam- pania was the biggest liner at that time, and it certainly was Titanic because I got lost on it the first day. I soon became ac- quainted with all the officials and sailors. As I was playing around with a sailor, I saw him open his mouth and blood spurted out. I was so frightened that I began to shout for help and soon a large crowd had ' A- . ,,,,-.-....,. , 1-1-q:-:,1cu.-1uw.,s,......:...:.1--v: -.,,,,-. -. fw-4 , nk-, -5 ,Y l Y, X. , 28 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. gathered. The liner was stopped and a life- boat lowered to rescue the person whom the captain believed to have fallen over- board. After all had been explained, I was surprised to find out that the sailor was only chewing tobacco. I knew that in Rus- sia both men and women smoked and used snuff-tobaco but I had never heard of any one chewing it. You bet I kept out of the captain's way after that because he wanted to throw me overboard. This ex- perience made me careful, so nothing of interest happened the rest of the journey. We fortunately passed all the examina- tions at Ellis Island and decided to come immediately to Kansas City. On the train to Kansas City, a passenger gave me a banana. I looked at it critically and was puzzled at which end to start. Finally, I discovered the secret. I took off the peel- ing, threw away the inside, and serenely ate up the peeling. Somehow or other bananas never have tasted good to me since. After much trouble, we got settled in Kansas City. I managed to graduate from ward school and decided to enter high school. I see now that it was the natural instinct for the best that led me to Westport. And here I am in the New World. Davis Le Vine, '16. Westport at BIZ. IC. in 1914-15 if FTER ALL, old gold and black is . close kin to old gold and blue, and Old Missouri is to the same tune as High upon a Hill. Perhaps this partially accounts for the existence of a regular Westport colony at M. U. For you know Westport, in 1914, sent more students to Missouri than any other high school in the state and more than Central, Manual and Northeast com- bined. And furthermore about forty per cent of her graduates were sufficiently prominent to merit having their pictures in the 1914-15 Savitar CMissouri's Annual, whose business manager was a Westport boy.J Let us look through this Savitar and try to show by the following statis- tics the number and most important po- sitions of Westport graduates. First, student and class government. Here Westporites show up as follows: Two members of Student Council, Secretary of Student Senate, All Sophomore President, Pre-Commerce President, Secretary of All- Senior, .All-Junior, All-Sophomore, and All- Freshman classes: and at least two com- mittee members from every class. In women's organizations, we find: Both freshmen representatives on Women's Council, Freshmen girl president and two members of Y. W . C. A. cabinet. In athletics-well, what would you ex- pect after the way Westport showed up the other state high schools at Columbia? The following well known Tigers formerly wore gold and blue: Paul Shepard, M Winner and football hero: String Wear and Fred Williams, basket ball stars, and 1915's ad- dition of Radford Pittam, track and foot- ball star. In girls' athletics, Westport graduates claimed: Junior tennis champ- ionship, at least two members of every class team in both hockey and basketball and three of the women M winners: namely, Erma and Vera Waltner and Mar- garet Carrington. The sororities and fraternities show Westport's social representation as fol- lows: At least one member of every sor- ority and every fraternity, and nine in each of the following: Beta, Delta Gamma, and Alpha Phi 5 five members of Women's Pan-Hellenic and five of Men's Pan- Hellenic.

The 1915-16 Savitar will show an in- crease in Westport's preeminence, and to take the name of a Westport graduate to Missouri is a credential in itself. Certain- ly these figures show not only that West- port has held high her colors at Missouri, but also that a University with such a per- centage of the right kind of students must be a pretty good place.

Marjorie Carpenter, '13. Ebc 'ilcgcno of the T7evil's Tlfopyaro In the pleasant country of eastern Con- necticut, just outside the village of Milling- ton, there lies a wild and picturesque tract of land that is known as the Devil's Hop- yard. A brook, which flows along pleas- antly enough before, becomes a thing of sparkling waterfalls and mysterious whirl- pools here, the trees and shrubbery grow thick and dark, and in one place a heap of half-rotted timbers shows that at some time there was a building at that spot. It seems a likely place for the commiting of some dark crime-but Millington tells an- other story. Many, many years ago there dwelt in Millington one Aaron Shuhite, a staunch pillar of the church, a firm believer in the doctrine of predestination, and withal, the possessor of one of the best farms in the vicinity, and two sons, Reuben and John. Reuben was the pride of the village-a de- voted son, a conscientious though some- what stupid student, and an ardent work- er in the church. His father believed that he was bound for heaven. John, on the contrary, was a handsome, quick-witted, mischief-loving lad who, according to Aaron, was headed straight for the place farthest opposite his brother's destination. Aaron had expressed this opinion so many times that John came to accept it as true, and being of a logical turn of mind, he failed to see why he should trouble him- self about lessons or behavior, if he could not possibly escape eternal punishment. So he amused himself by throwing paper- wads in school and church, and creating .a commotion wherever he went-growing more adept every year in the art of as- suming innocence when he had it not. At length, in his sixteenth winter, mat- ters came to a crisis. One Sunday the sheep-skin cover of the church Bible was missing. The next day the teacher, while administering corporal' punishment to John, noticed that his blows did not have their usual effect. Upon close examina- tion, the sheep-skin cover was found, slipped into the lining of J ohn's coat. Such sacrilege could not be toleratedg John was forthwith tried and sentenced to a month in the Haddam County jail. The month passed pleasantly for the young sinner. The jail itself was an an- cient wooden building consisting of one room only, whose windows were barred by rusty iron gratings. If he had been so in- clined, John could have broken loose easily. But he was away from his father's lec- tures, away from lessons and church at- tendance, and best of all, his companion in imprisonment was an Indian who enter- -f'-'1 '-TCl:41a:2:l:f.'zi:1'-sf1 sf ' 'wal ' '7 f it ' ' 30 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. tained him with all sorts of outlandish A tales. J ohn's time was up at last, and one cold and snowy afternoon he started to walk the seven miles from the jail to his home. Half way there, he spied his father and brother in the family carriage, also bound towards home. O father! Oh Reuben! he called. They paid no attention to him. He ran and over- took them. Why, father, he said, aren't ye glad to see me safe and sound again? I tell ye, 'twill seem rare good to get home to a hot fire once more, and mother making hot tea- Hush I cried Aaron, in wrathful tones. We've heard o' your doin's while ye was in jail. Ye're no longer any son o' mine, John! with which he whipped up the horses and soon had left John far behind. For a few minutes the lad was indeed bewildered. He knew that none of the other villagers would take him in. There remained as a last resort Squire Thornton, the wealthiest man thereabouts, who was regarded with I-horror by the Millington- ians because he was a communicant of the Church of England. To Squire Thorn- ton's, then, he made his way. That jolly gentleman and his fairy-like daughter Evelyn heard his story gleefully and made him welcome. The next day the Squire offered to send him away and give him a chance to make ,his fortune, an offer which John joyfully accepted. f And when I come back, he told Evelyn privately, I shall marry you, and we shall live in a fine house down by the falls. The next evening, just at dusk, a chaise in which were seated the devil Call of Millington saw the horns, tail, and cloven hoofj and John Shuhite, 'drawn at a super- naturally rapid rate by an immense black horse, clattered down the main street of the village and disappeared in the wild and lonesome region below the falls. ' II. ' Reuben, said Aaron Shuhite, some years later, 'tis time ye were pickin' out a wife. ' Ay! agreed Reuben. I had thought I'd ask Miss Evelyn, he confided. There's Samantha Briggs, the grave- digger's daughter, pointed out old Aaron. However, lad, take your choice, take your choice. Only be quick about it. Reuben at once retired to a corner of the room, and with immense difficulty, pro- duced the following epistle: My dear Miss Evelyn: I take my pen in hand to inform you that for some time I been think- ing of getting married, and I should like for you to be my wife. If you will be at meeting next Sunday, the par- son will marry us afterwards, and so save all fuss. Reuben Shuhitef' This he despatched by one of the small boys of the village, and eagerly awaited the answer. It came within an hour. Miss EvelynVThornton deeply re- grets that on account of 'a previous engagement she cannot accept Mr.- Reuben Shuhite's kind- proposal of marriage for Sunday morning next. f Disappointed, but not daunted, this ardent wooer wrote an exactlysimilar note to Samantha. Her answer came in ten minutes: My Dearest Reuben- Yes, by all means. ' Samantha. I III. The next Sunday, just as the wedding party of Reuben and Samantha was is- suing' from the church, an exceedingly smart traveling carriage, with a solitary inmate, passed on the road to Squire Thornton's. The traveler, though none of the villagers recognized him, was in truth none other than John Shuhite, who was coming back to Evelyn, having made an immense fortune in the West Indian trade.

THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 31 Within the next few days it was known all through that country that he had bought the falls and the land surrounding them, and intended to build a house there for himself and his wife Evelyn. In six months the house was complete and such a house! It was far finer than the Squire's. And there was a summer house built in one romantic glade, and negro ser- vants, and a whole stableful of fine horses. Millington was more than ever convinced that he was in league with His Satanic Majesty. This conviction was strength- ened by two other incidents which took place shortly afterwards. Old Dan'l Briggs, the grave-digger, hap- pened to be around one afternoon, and be- held John fishing-not with the stick, string, pin and worm in use by the Mill- ington disciples of Walton, but with a flexible kind of a rod, a string that grew longer or shorter as the fisherman willed, and bright-colored insects,-clearly all in- ventions of the Evil One! . And Goody Martha, the village gossip, had just chanced to be wandering around inside of the lost one's property, when she saw a light in the summer house and heard voices. She cautiously approached and looked in the windows. There she saw John, Evelyn, the Squire, and a furrin- lookin' man, who was evidently the devil in- disguise, sitting around a table with cards in their hands. She listened, and caught the following weird phrases: A It'll cost you five bones to draw. I You bluffer! I'll see you and raise it ten. ' What have you got? Three scullery maids beats me. It's all yours. At this last, she lost all her courage, and ran back to the village at full speed. In- deed, she was so terrified that it was the next afternoon before she had recovered strength enough to go out and spread the tale. After that, the Squire and John were let SGVGYGIY alone by all Millington. Strange-looking men and women were con- tinually visiting John and Evelyn, and they themselves often went away for a month or so at a time. Gradually the vil- lage ceased to marvel at them-they no longer furnished an interesting subject for gossip. But one morning, seven years to a day after John's return, one of the strange gentlemen drove up to the house in a great rush. An hour later Lawyer Williston was summoned from the village, to make John Shuhite's will. That evening John climbed into the carriage with the gentle- man of Mephistophelean appearance, the coachman cracked the whip, and driving at a tremendous rate of speed, they dis-- appeared in the wild and lonesome region beyond the falls. John Shuhite was never seen or heard of again. Therefore, say the villagers, it is clear that the devil carried him to his pre- destined abode. I Certain it is, that from that day to this, John Shuhite's property has been known as the Devil's Hopyard. ' Elizabeth Pratt, '16. V ,llll-i-111 -1' HE HISTORY CLUB 1-.of Westport High School has distinguished. it- self in that it has been the first high school organization of this .city to adopt military preparedness as a motto, and military drill as a practice. Heretofore. the History Club's only out- door activities were trips to places of his- toric interest in and about Kansas City, the principal hikes being to Liberty, Inde- pendence, Parkville, Martin City, the Poor Farm and other county' institutions. The club meetings were featured by inter- esting and instructive expositions on famous men in our history.

'f-1:1 -.1 - -- V-7' ' - 32 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. of Mr. R. V. Harman, organizer of the club, teacher, and general boys' friend. The proposal to introduce military train- ing into the History Club was met with the hearty approval of practically every mem- ber and so great was the interest on the subject, that a hike, with the military fea- ture, was planned for Saturday, March 18. So on a Saturday morning, promptly at 9 o'clock, the club left the historic old Harris House, located at Westport and . Penn Streets, and headed southward- southward because it was toward Mexico, and toward Mexico because many military activities were going on there. Shortly after leaving Westport, the hikers came upon a fine, open field, and there Mr. Fristoe, an able commissioned officer, drew us up in line. He explained thoroughly the manner of execution of several simple maneuvers, and then formed us into squads. We went through the movements which he had previously ex- plained, and then a new set was under- taken. After drilling for about an hour, and having attracted quite a crowd of would-be soldiers of about five years of age,'who greatly admired our marching, the squads took to the road, and the march was renewed to Shawnee Mission. There the crowd learned much of the history of the place. The majority expressed a desire to hike on to Overland Park, and so a cross country hike to Overland was begun. The country was extremely rough, and, strange to say, seemed all up hill to everyone in the crowd. The grass was very high, and tripped the hikers at almost every step, but the crowd remained in a compact bunch as usual, not allowing anyone to drop behind, and despite the difficulties, the crowd arrived at Overland Park at about 2 :3O. One of the famous History Club camp dinners was prepared, and bacon, weenies, baked beans and coffee were soon being made digestible by means of a crackling fire. Everyone ate to his heart's content. The cry then raised was, On to Waldo, and so, with aching joints and full stomachs, the crowd commenced the four mile hike. They marched most of the way to the roll of a drum, said drum consisting of the History Club's official coffee bucket, with a corn cob found by the roadside for a drum stick. The drum apparently made the walking easier, for after a seemingly short hike the trip to Waldo was com- pleted. At Waldo, just before the crowd dis- banded, the one opinion was that the His- tory Club had found an excellent activity in military drill. ' And now every Tuesday during the en- tire school year, in a field near the school, a crowd of boys may be seen drilling away for all they are worth, and so accurately do they perform their maneuvers that no one would ever imagine them to be the rooky bunch that drilled in a field near Westport on Saturday, March 18. , ..' , .. ,,..-r . .:- ,lp .J ., ,,,-.. .-...........---..--Q. e--1.11. 1...-1' .. - Q ff.,.'. 4 -..:.L,.L.L....,,.-,.a.-fm - ...Y ,l.--fl-2-1.1-r 1 .-...1.L2.4L.I.p..x.Li..g1:.:.4..- --1---14.2-9,-gp,:,,74:4: 41415 ' ,QA ' ,,,,,,,,, ,,,,C,,N : :Kuhn :gt-1 HQ lun.

IIIlIHiIIIMIIIIIII BOYS' GLEE CLUB. Q' HE CLUB had a very successful season, considering our weakness in the tenor department. All the fellows had fine voices, and worked well together. Our first public ap- pearance was at the State Teachers' meet- ing, when we sang with the clubs from the other schools at Convention Hall. The first term's work, however, was mostly spent on the comic opera, . Trial by J ury. After much practice under our capable di- rector, Mrs. Hedges, we produced it in as- sembly. Principal Characters :- Judge ........................................ Eugene Ashe Bride .................................. Margaret R. King Defendant ................................ Russel Comer Attorney for Bride .................... Lillian Eye Usher .............................. Howard Robertson Foreman of Jury ...........................,.. Louis Elstner The leading characters acted and sang splendidly, and the same was true of the bridesmaids, jury and audience. The stage was arranged as a court room, and the whole effect was strikingly beautiful. The accompaniment furnished by the orchestra added much to the success of the occasion. The second team's work was mostly on the numbers for the annual contest be- tween the four high schools, and the can- tata given by the combined clubs of all the schools. The contest was very disappoint- ing to us, as we failed to get a cup. The cantata in the evening was very beautiful, and was highly appreciated. Ronald E. Kinney, '18, THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB. if HE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB has cer- tainly been a success this year. We have received a higher de- velopment in musical training and none of us will ever forget the good times we have had along with our work. The first part of the year was spent in learning songs of different types. We gave a few recitals also. Immediately after Christmas, we started in for some real and earnest work. The result of this work was seen when both Glee Clubs pre- sented the operetta, Trial by Jury, April 10. This was given in Assembly and every- one who saw it will agree that it certainly made a hit. This introduced to you an unknown lawyer, Lillian Eye. She made a good one but very 'stern was she. The bride, Margaret King, seemed very sad at first from loss of her to-be-husband, but was somewhat consoled and seemed very glad when the judge, to the surprise of everyone, announced that he would marry I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I First Seconf Third Other her chor in t part NI tata, man duet sorr ' ' ' ' it ' ' ' ' 'S 'A ' ' J i ' '--1-Q---'Ri-1-3'1't'4'f' ' '-' w:.rt:h2m21vle.:n:f:.

In the contest We did not vvin first but We all think it Was an honorable defeat.

This is what distinguishes a home from a mere house and places the artist in her superior position above the average musician. As each part is needed to make a well built house so an artist must work from the beginning patiently and care- fully. Of course, in the limited time we have in Glee Club, we cannot accomplish all of this, yet everyone receives a training which is of much value and in the future when some shall reach distinguished places, they will remember the happy days they spent in Glee Club in Westport with Mrs. Hedges. -Margaret R. King, '16. The Orchestra has done very well this year, considering the lack of a few im- portant brass and wood instruments. It played for the Christmas Play, and fur- nished full accompaniment for Trial By J ury, and for the Senior Play. Our suc- cess has been due to the untiring enthus- iasm and direction of Mrs. Hedges. The Orchestra was assisted at times by Ernest Hubbell and Paul Sunderland, with the clarinet and saxophone. The work is very interesting and two art credits are given for it. Besides, it is a very definite way to serve Westport. There is a great deal more musiical talent here in school than we ever hear from. Come on and show your ability, those of you who play musical instruments! There's a place for you to fill next year in the orchestra. - .....-.4-.- ,. 1:-1-.se-'vii-l ? - - - '-' ' .- ---4'--wa-'f:'n'rz':1:aL'zu::..---P -- -.- Af - WNW' ' I 'I ' I ffm Sw u If A00 Q ,Mn II nj, f Q SY 'Z 9' S' 9 Z S SWll l 'WQ Q fl55EI Il3LIE,5 -if HE ASSEMBLIES this year have not been so numerous as in some ' previous years, but they have cer- tainly been select. We have had real orators, noted musicians, debaters, elocutionists, whoop-up assemblies, and various other programs. ....i Mr. L. W. Malison. Our first assembly on Sept. 29, was a short but varied one. Mr. Shouse made several announcements of which there was one concerning the Girls' Mixer. Several songs by Mr. L. W. Malison of the Dunbar-Wolverine Quartet composed the main numbers on the program. . Dr. Newens- Success On Oct. 17, we heard our first outside speaker of the year, Mr. Adrian M. New- ens, formerly of the Iowa State Agricul- tural College. His subject was Success He explained the requisites of success -to stand, to think, and to speak well. Mr. Newens was one of the most impressive speakers of the year. He is an orator, a man of distinct personality, and a man who will win any audience. i Mr. Rudolph King-Concert. Mr. Rudolph King, widely known as a pianist and teacher, gave a concert in as- sembly, Oct. 26. Other musicians were Miss Ethelena Elliott of '15, Miss Juanita Collins, '18, and Mr. Paul Lawless. The singing of Mr. Lawless, tenor and vocal teacher, was greatly enjoyed. Dr. King of Oberlin- The Best. Dr. Henry Churchill King, President of Oberlin College, gave, on Jan. 26, an ad- dress on The Best. He explained the four divisions he had made when he con- sidered his subject: first, even the good is the enemy of the best, second, keep your- self persistently at your best, third, stay persistently in the presence of the best, and lastly, be your best, share your best, and give your best service. Mr. W. J. Hawkins. On Feb. 2, a very detailed and pleasing talk was given on Washington University of St. Louis, by Mr. W. J. Hawkins, field Secretary. He wished to leave with every Senior the statement, Where will you find yourself on the first of September after graduation ? l Business ! A real business man of Kansas City, Mr. Berkowitz of the Berkowitz Envelope Co., gave rather an amusing yet convincing talk on what is necessary to become a successful business man.

On Feb. 21, Rabbi Mayer gave a stirring talk on, Patriotism, America as the Melting Pot of the World was the chief sentiment in his speech. In conjunction with this view, he elaborated on immigra- tion. We all certainly enjoyed Dr. Mayer's address and hope he will visit us again. Debates. This year, three debates were held in our auditorium during assembly. There was a debate between the boys' teams of Manual and Northeast, one between the girls' teams of these two schools, and one between our own girls' teams. The debates of the other schools were greatly enjoyed but the debate of our own girls was even more enjoyable. From this debate we received a just con- ception of the debating ability a girl can foster. Good gestures, clear voice, and plenty of material were the requisites of each of our girl debaters. All About Poly. I On May 16, Mr. Bainter, Principal of the Polytechnic Institute of Kansas City, gave a very interesting expository talk on what Poly offers and what it requires. With the assistance of Miss Anna Campbell and Dundas Ross, both former Westporters, Mr. Bainter certainly left a fine impres- sion, as an incentive for the pupils of Westport to attend Poly. Senior Assembly! The Seniors made their farewell bow to the school on May 18. Of course, their bright and shining faces were seen about the halls for some time afterwards, but being in honor of the coming play and pageant, this Assembly was all their own. The wonderful new curtain, their gift to the school, was in place 5 Mr. Shouse asked the members of the class to rise, where- upon thunderous applause was given these energetic individuals. The Senior Yell was given, then the school yells, and finally the school song. 'PHS ASSGITIIOIY displayed about the most PSD Of any this year. The school was thus shown the worth of the departing Seniors, and displayed its true apprecia- tion. l,i Laurels and Spoils. On May 29, our track team received its reward for an extremely good season. Having won the largest meets of the season and broken many records, all mem- bers of the team received a letter signify- ing in which class they won events. For the seven record-breakers,-Tom Payne, Dick Hillyard, Bahlman Parker, Tom Jar- vies, Lyle Cooke, Hal Hodges, and Frank Osborne, there were blankets. Four cups were won by the track team this year. Two smaller ones were taken at the invitation meets at M. U. and an indoor meet. A member of the Harvard Alumni Club presented the Harvard -Cup to us for the second-time. Winning it the third time will make it ours for all time. The Michigan Cup was the last and great- est trophy taken by our track team. Presentation of the letters and blankets was made by Mr. Hoopes. Mr. Stigall as Athletic Manager, gave a short speech, urging, as did Mr. Hoopes, that more try out next year. l..il - Great Billy Sunday! The greatest Evangelist of all -time came to Westport High School, May 31. Mr. Sunday thrilled the audience in a talk on, How to Win Out. The honor of hav- ing such a distinguished person speak in our auditorium, a man who may never come back to Westport High School, will never be forgotten. Genial, loving Ma Sunday, and Mr. Rod- heaver also contributed to this great event. ,.. ,,,, ...fn .4 , ' .. -.-Q---,:-r.g-rr1':1:-:.1:1:v1.f-..1-,...q T:1T131T1,-.-.- - - - 5- - 5, EBSQ!-v - 1 -'Y BOYS' DEBATE. 'S RILLIANT SUCCESS resulted for Westport in the Boys' Debate this year. Central and Manual met with inglorious defeat at the hands of our vocal warriors. But, alas! Destiny did not decide to confer the much-coveted trophy on Westport and al- lowed Northeast, also, to inflict defeat upon her opponents and a second debate was necessary to break the tie. Both neg- ative teams won, but for some untold rea- son Northeast kept the Amherst cup-for one year only. Now, blood is in our eyes and revenge next year will be most luscious. We will have two veterans to bring us through with flying colors, and with this year's stimulus, Westport will see still another year of victory in 1917. ' WESTPORT-MANUAL. UR AFFIRMATIVE TEAM clashed with Manual in the new Central Auditorium, March 17. The question was: Resolved, That the U. S. Should adopt a system of com- pulsory military training similar to that of Switzerland. Clyde Emery proved our dire need of preparedness, telling of the things we must protect, such as the Monroe Doctrine, our vast Seacoast, and our restrictions on Orientals. He also Showed that since the volunteer system has been an absolute failure each time it has been relied upon, a compulsory system must be instituted. His forceful presentation gave added ef- fect to his excellent speech. With his usual volcanic style, Henry Enns continued to emphasize our unpre- paredness. He showed the inadaptability of the German System, thus leaving the Swiss Compulsory System as the only one worthy of adoption or even consideration. Heinie concluded by giving a brief resume of the Swiss System. He made a great hit with his vigorous rapid-fire delivery. John Powell then vividly described the Utopian results that the Swiss System would bring to America. His oratorical style and clear logic proved an ideal com- bination. Henry Enns started the rebuttal. He refuted a great number of the negative points in a very fiery and convincing man- ner.

Before the votes of the judges Were counted, the students of Central Were asked to give a standing vote. The school Was practically unanimous in favoring Westport. The decision of the judges was of the same nature, With a count of 5 for West- port, and 0 for Manual. This is the first unanimous decision ever 'nns mer Won by a Westport boys' team, and with the fine victory of the negative boys, it pointed conclusively to Westport's debat- ing supremacy. i-l- WESTPORT-CENTRAL.

He showed from the first that he had indisputable claim to the cap- taincy of our 'ever-victorious team. He proved that the Swiss military system is contrary to modern American principles, and detrimental to the economic, physi- cal, and moral welfare of the nation. Ac- cording to some of the best judges his speech was one of the most logical and forceful ever given by a Westport student. Eudell Lusher came next. After he aroused his audience to the highest pitch of wild enthusiasm, the judges drew a long breath and realized that he had proved the absolute impracticability of the Swiss mil- itary system. Foster Strong followed up by presenting a substitute. after showing that the Swiss military system would not meet the mili- tary requirements of the United States. He made a fine, clear speech, worthy of himself and his team. In rebuttal our boys resembled a relay of steam engines. They rushed over the arguments of their opponents crushing and mangling them beyond recognition. The Central team, Pierce, Thomas, and Ely were indeed worthy opponents, but the victory was undoubtedly Westport's and the decision was no surprise. This was not the only success of our negative team. In debating off the tie, this team won from Northeast, three to two, thereby forcing her to swallow the first defeat in her experience. To return to the team, the silent part- ner and mascot, Harry Schauffler, should be given much credit for the success-and best of all he'll be back next year. ,-il.1.,.. GIRLS' DEBATE. Resolved: That the United States should subsidize her merchant marine. Gaze upon this subject and fathom, if you can, its ponderous depths, its impas- sionate tone and marvel that our girls should have been fired with enthusiasm enough over it to have attempted even to try for the teams. And then remember that one team was victorious and the other defeated the winners and you will realize the brilliancy of the maidens in your midst. Though perhaps not so successful as the boys, the girls deserve a world of credit and Westport should be proud of her girls who are paving the way for bet- ter years. WESTPORT VS. MANUAL. , ANUAL obtained revenge for her whitewash at the hands of n Westport's boys' aiirmative team by defeating our girls' af- firmative squad, four to one. Westport's representatives were Josephine Holle- baugh, Ethel Shufflebotham, and Helen Kyger, with Katrina'Baldwin as alternate. The first aiirmative speaker was Jose- phine Hollebaugh, who, after stating the question, proved that the world's exper- ience has demonstrated the success of ship subsidy. She presented her argu- ments in her usual clear, forceful manner, and showed herself to be a fine all-around debater, far above the average in both de- livery and argument. The negative side of the debate was opened by Mildred Miles, whose main point was that the world's experience shows that subsidy has not built up a merchant ma- rine. Ethel Shufflebotham followed, proving that subsidy is desirable for the welfare of the people. Ethel's delivery was strong and full of pep. This year's experience will make her mighty hard to beat in the future. Gladys Bigler, the second negative speaker, pointed out the economic and political objections to ship subsidy. w ff wW mx Z ? 4 ff' , ff First Secon Third H. for HFS CTHIT nifie WHS WELS Tf I I ........,..-- -..-. .

She made an admirable and dig- nified presentation of her points, and it Was easy to see that she knew what she was talking about. The last negative speaker was Lillian Sandfort, who showed that subsidies are unnecessary. Although the main speeches may have given Manual a shade the better of the argument, this Was made up for by the strength of the Westport rebuttal. The Westpoict girls had their facts right on tap, and had more points to refute than 2 3 ' M -:':-:,v':-a7:l:1:KI-f::fr:..a- z:-:5'::rvr:1 : 'f'f-f': '- 5 5 'ff1 .- ' JV 44 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. they had time for. The Manual rebuttal was far from poor, but seemed to lack the steam of Westport's. After the last speech Westport seemed to deserve at least an even break. However, when Principal Holmes of Central read the ballots, the second was adirmative, but the others, alas, were not. ' There was nothing to be ashamed of in losing such a debate as this, for Westport made a strong fight throughout. We can't win all the time, and our affirmative team displayed just as much school spirit by being game and generous in defeat as they could have done by being joyous in victory. l..L.l.1il- WE STPORT-CENTRAL. 1' RIDAY, March 31, our girl de- baters opened an attack on the arguments of their Manual and Central fopponents. Our affirm- ative team was defeated in a close battle, but our negative heroines succeeded in overcoming all opposition, and won a glorious victory. The scene of our cuccess was laid in the Northeast auditorium. The first Central speaker was Elizabeth Alexander. She showed a clear grasp of her points, and presented them in a for- cible, effective manner. Margaret Shackelford opened the debate for Westport. She proved that the world's experience does not in any way warrant the adoption of subsidy. Her argument, which was clear and convincing, was carried home by a most effective delivery and splendid ges- tures. The second affirmative speaker, Helen Rogers, made a clear, sensible speech for subsidy. Her delivery was one of her strongest assets. ' Westport's second speaker was Eliza- beth Pratt. She showed that while sub- sidy might afford a slight benefit, it would be impracticable because of the tremen- dous cost. She impressed judges and audiences alike with her reasoning power. Her speech as a whole was very strong. The third speaker for Central was Fried- abelle Loper, whose debating showed con- siderable experience. Her gestures added force and finish to a very effective speech. Irene Schneider then proceeded to clinch the victory. With a forceful delivery, yet with perfect poise, she hammered home many strong points. Her speech was a clear and vigorous presentation of the plan of government ownership of a merchant marine, as a substitute for subsidy. In the rebuttal that followed, Westport increased the lead won in the opening speeches. Our team made good in the real test of debate-rebuttal. With fine team work and clear logic, they concluded their debate in a manner worthy of Westport's best traditions. We must certainly not forget one who furnished much of the inspiration and mo- tive power for the team. Margaret Moses was not only captain and alternate but a true worker and councellor to the team. The final decision was: aiirmative, twog negative, three. Let's follow this team's splendid example and win both next year! i u l a Ch achil be t com1 a rl Ev+ drar P2 who rot was Hur love an His his usu: E Cou littl was whc Elia witl S was M -' -We -' --'Af-Q-' --' - .

TRANGE, ISN'T IT, that after the faculty, especially Mr. Humphrey, have been attempting to produce Everywoman for several years as a Christmas Play, we should as this year's achievement, put on what might rightfully be termed Everywoman, written as a comedy? For that is what Prunella is, a rollicking comedy on the order of Everywoman, a serious play and highly dramatic. Prunella, the shy, diffident little maiden who blossomed into a most adorable Pier- rot and later, a noble and loving woman, was charmingly played by Miss Mary Hunt. Fred Meyer, as Pierrot, was a lover whom no girl could resist, much less an unsophisticated damsel like Prunella. His interpretation was indeed clever and his ability was remarked by many as un- usual in a high school pupil. Elizabeth Davis, as Prude, was a scream. Could we ever forget that contemptuous little sniff and those shocked eyes? She was ably assisted by Ethel Shufflebotham, who displayed real talent, as Prim, and by Elizabeth Pratt, who filled out this trio with happy fitness. Scaramel, taken by Edward Brainard, was a most efficient servant to the hand- some Pierrot, while Fred Edwards, as Ken- nel, Tom Payne, as Hawk, and Joe Voor- hees, as Mouth, were all splendid, Mouth being exceptionally well played. Catherine Ayres, as Romp, not only acted but really lived her part, as did Helen Phenneger, Shirley Smith, and Mar- garet Shackelford, as Coquette, Tawdry, and Doll, respectively. The three gard- eners, Russel Baumgardner, Sanford John- son, and Robert McConnell, furnished plenty of rustic atmosphere. One of the chief charms of the play was the dance furnished by the gym girls. Miss Bell is a most efficient dancing teacher and the dance was wholly in keeping with the atmosphere of the play. The girls were as good as most professionals and deserved the hearty applause which called them back for an encore. The audience in fact was one of the most appreciative ever seen at Westport, and no wonder. We feel justified in saying in the words of the stu- dent body, Let's have more , plays like this !

The cast was exceptionally able, the audience was ap- preciative, the play itself is a charming one-indeed, everything went finely. , The story of the play, with its untangl- ing of the love affairs of the Athenian young folk, and reconciliation of the fairy king and queen, is too well known to need any explanation. It ends happily, of course, which is all that really matters. Margaret Shackelford, as Puck, gave one of the best characterizations of the per- formance. She seemed absolutely in her element. Hortense Schweizer gave a fin- ished and convincing interpretation of Oberon. The exquisite loveliness of Anne Robertson, as Titania, is not soon to be for- gotten. The fairy dancers were an espec- ially enjoyable feature of the play. The parts of Hermia and Helena were particularly well-acted by Josephine Holle- baugh and Maren Sawyer, respectively. Fred Edwards, as Lysander, was as de- voted a lover as even a movie -mad girl could wish, while Henry Enns, as Deme- trius, was his usual fiery self. Melville Snyder made a very distinguished Duke, and Glory Kirk, as Hippolyta, was a beau- tiful and stately queen. Philostrate and Egeus were well played by Eugene Ashe and Thomas Peake. i ' ,hw--wffff V l Y B! t , i I , f 1 , f I , , f f 5 2 ff v E He pre1 Qui Bat Miz and trag the wa: ant tan pla .toj l ye: by Ge me ce: th Tl ha th gr Le is wl ,,....-.-,,.,.,,f-1, 5 .,- .. .... -.....--1-.....f .l f.. ,fe.-qty.. - 1....1:.. 4 -4.l....l.-.---,-F--A--..v .-1 - g,1,g,Lg,g,,,,,1,gg,g31.:..L...T.f .....,,,,emu:.:5,:.:2:Al!., . .

Ed Bird was a remarkably fine Bottom. He appreciated the part and made us ap-- preciate it, too. Sanford Johnson, as Quince, Wallace Rice, as Snug, Russell Baumgartner, as Starveling, and Maynard Mize, as Snout, handled their parts well and cleverly. Flute was deliciously por- trayed by Alfred Benjamin, especially in the Pyramus and Thisbe scene. This scene was one of the best of the entire perform- ance. It had a naturalness and spon- taneity that was irresistible. The whole play was so good, however, that it is hard ,to pick out any parts for special praise. ' ..T.1.-1-.,1...-l CLUB PLAYS. Besides our regular dramatic work this year, we have, as usual, been entertained by several society plays. First came the German play, Kleptomanie. The Ger- man Club, backed by several years of suc- cess, scored a complete triumph. Next, the Spanish Club produced Zaragueta.' The Spanish Club, like the German Club, has profited by experience and the play this year was better than ever. But the greatest undertaking of all was that of Les Faineants. The first year of a club is bound to be difficult, but any society which has the pluck to produce a play in 7 its first year, is bound to succeed. La Comedie de Celui qui Epousa une Femme Muette was selected this year, and its suc- cess augurs well for the club's future. We hope these plays will continue, as they prove to the school that the societies are doing good work. An excellent fea- ture of the whole thing was the Well bal- anced work between the three productions. Little choice could be made as to which was the best of the lot, a fact which goes to prove that the societies all contain a vast amount of talent. i-- WESTPORT'S CELEBRATION OF SHAKESPEARE TERCENTENARY. REAT CELEBRATIONS were held this year, throughout the world, in honor of the genius, William Shakespeare. The festivities in his honor can not be too numerous or elab- orate, as they are warranted by pleasure the people of every nation have enjoyed, for the last three hundred years. Westport High School is one of the in- stitutions in Kansas City that held a festi- val in honor of the Bard-on-Avon. Mr. Humphrey, elocution teacher of Westport, conceived of the plan of hold- ing a pageant in Hyde Park, which was to ,.1.,,g,.-vs.-4-v - P, - -1,,Q.+x-4-ai....1-g':'7'I . ..

In a short time plans were perfected. Each English Literature class was responsible for a designated part in the pageant, thus including practically the entire Senior Class. Arrangements were made for the rental of the most unique and adaptable costumes, that have ben in vogue in the Eastern pageants. After several very successful rehearsals every phase of the pageant was in trim. The people of Shakespeare, a la West- port, were scheduled to appear before the public, May 16 at three-thirty o'clock in the afternoon. On the stage possessing the most beau- tiful setting that nature could contribute, this pageant was held. William Shakes- peare, played by Alfred Benjamin, led the ancient throng of heroes, heroines and the other characters of Shakespeare's creation. Before an immense and appreciative audience the entire program was rendered in a most creditable manner. Following the Grand March, of all the characters different characters were introduced, who later, were rewarded by a number of milk maids who alternately wore Gold and Blue dresses. After this, scenes from the plays, Henry V, The Tempest, Merry Wives of Windsor, King Lear, Twelfth Night, Merchant of Venice, and a Winter's Tale, were given. In holding this Pageant, Westport took a step in advance. This served as an ex- cellent introduction to the very successful Shakespearean production given in our au- ditorium on the evening of the same day.

It has developed incred- ibly in every respect-member- ship, popularity, and interesting meetings. At no time has the club been held in such high esteem by both the other societies and the student body as a Whole. The reason is quite obvious. We foster. the open-door policy. There has been no reluctance in the reception and promotion of movements originating from other clubs. Behind the movement for more in- ter-society undertakings in the future, the Round Table's stimulating influence can not be over-estimated. In school activities We have certainly had our share of representation. On the CRIER-HERALD Staff there were six of our members, or one half of the entire staff: Josephine Hollebaugh, Martha Shouse, Ethel Shufflebotham, Miriam Na- than, Lyle Cooke, and John O'Keefe, the last four constituting all the Junior mem- bers on the Staff. Among the Junior Class Officers, Lyle Cooke Was president, Ethel Shufflebotham Vice-President, J o h n O'Keefe Secretary, and Clifford Simpson Treasurer. Then, too, We made a fine showing in the girls' debate, three of the strongest members being Round Tablers, Josephine Hollebaugh, Ethel Shuffle- ootham, and Irene Schneider. In basket- oall, Lyle Cooke, a first team man, repre- sented us, and in track, manyyof our mem- oers ,Were among the point Winners. In tooth the Christmas and Senior plays, We 'nad four members, Josephine Hollebaugh having the lead in the Senior play. We have been more than Well represented in the Glee Clubs, Orchestra, Class teams, and every other activity. ....a..,,-.,,.:zl:I: A, .,,..-.-A '- 'J' ' ' ,,.,..n......-Q .....4--.---- f-rp -cerea-f-1-......

Is not such a showing sufficient to es- tablish our preeminence among Westport societies, to instill in every student who is not a member of a club, an intense de- gree of anxiety, of aspiration, to join the Round Table Club? It has been the delight of the members n that We were able to secure Miss Leitch as adviser this year, for she is a great favor- ite of the club and of the Whole school.

The best program of the first term was given by Mr. Stigall, when he spoke on The Spirit of Christmas. As this year was the tercentenary of the world's greatest poet and playwright, it was decided to spend some time on Shakespeare's works. By far the best pro- gram of the second half was given by Mr. Humphrey on Shakespeare's works and characters in general. This was rivaled only by the all Fresh- man program. The last two meetings brought an all Junior and an all Senior pro- gram. Although this is a literary society, we have among us a pair of athletic captains, other musicians, and several Freshmen, who promise well to keep up the prestige of this older society. We feel that much of our success this year has been due to our advisers, Miss Hanna and Miss Eggleston, and we wish to give them all due thanks.

Helen Kyger is a most efficient debaterg Thomas Peake Martha Castles, Adelaide King, Edith Oliver, Marietta Boyer, Marguerite Fuge, Marguerite Hodgkin, Eugene Ashe and Dick Hillyard have astonishing dramatic ability, While Lillian Eye, and Eugene Ashe had leading parts in Trial by J ury.

Naturally with this variety of talent, the Clionians have not been idle. A most de- lightful banquet Was given on the 18th of March and the further ability of our charming members Was proved by their Witty C?J toasts. Taken as a Whole it has been a splendid Year, and since We have many under- graduates to carry on the good Work, We believe the Clionians Will continue to be one of the biggest and finest societies in Westport.

We have studied things at meetings that the aver- age person knows very little about, thus the club has taught its members a great many new ideas about literature, with which one would not come in contact in any other Way. This year there has been even more club spirit than usual. Our programs have varied considerably. At the first few meetings, some of the best modern short stories were studied. Then came some of the less familiar Shakespearean plays. Next we studied some typical Russian, nov- els, which proved to be very interesting, es- pecially the names of some of the char- acters. After that we devoted a meeting to O. Henry's short stories. Then We con- cluded the year by spending some time on the early English novels and the Gothic I FOSTER romance. All of these things were ex- tremely interesting. Our adviser, Mr. Foster, has given a great deal of time and enthusiasm to the club. The membership of the Irving Club in- cludes fellows that lead in all the school activities. Our President, Fred Meyer, is Vice President of the Senior Class. Five Irvings were on the Westport debating team: Clyde Emery, John Powell, Alfred Benjamin, Eudell Lusher, and Harry Schauffler. Alfred Benjamin and Clyde Emery are the Irving representatives on the Crier and Herald staff. Fred Meyer was in the Christmas play and Joseph Atha and Alfred Benjamin were in the Senior play. Raymond Hazelton is our member on the basket-ball squad.

John Powell was president of the entire club the last half of the year. The oration for the Senior program was won by Clyde Emery. Although we are very proud of the Irving Club, and have striven mightily to uphold her name, we always put Westport first. It is the things we have done for Westport which we consider most worth while, and we love the Irving Club most because through its organization, we have been able to really serve our school.

After the graduation of some of the most prominent of the Clays and of the school as well, the Club found itself in a rather depleted condition. Although the mem- bers were lacking, the spirit was there, and after a short, active campaign, the club found itself the possessor of a wealth of new material, taken mostly from the underclassmen, who promise great things for the future. The club has been very lucky in the selection of officers and adviser this year. Ehrenhofer, as president for the first term, was a regular pillar of strength, and what Frank said was usually right.

The Clay Club did not place as many men on the debating team as usual, but the spirit shown by the younger fellows in the try-out, was certainly commendable and gives good prospects for next year. The men making the team were Strong, John- son, and Enns. The Christmas Play cast contained several Clays as also did the Senior Play.

Outside of these activities, the club had representatives on the track team and the basket ball squad. The Clay Club has, as usual, confined itself to debates for its regular programs. Some people have the idea that debates get monotonous, and think variety is the spice of life. Let them think so, but we of the Clay Club know, that if anything in this world is spicy, a Clay Club debate ranks right along with it. Not only do the mem- bers on the programs show an interest in the subject, but there is always an open debate for the body, after the decision is given. These debates with occasional par- liamentary law drills keep the members very busy. The Club gave its usual number of social functions, the only extra one being the en- tertainment given the girl debaters, in honor of the splendid way in which they supported Westport. The coming years of the Clay Club are sure to be prosperous, because of the men and their spirit, and when we, who grad- uate, come back to the old school, we shall view its accomplishments with pride and make the corridors ring as of yore with: Rip Saw!

The word means a learned per- son of India, who likes to argue and debate different questions. It is especially ap- propriate, in that the Pundit Club is a de- bating club. Of course the members are not Hindus, but We do like to debate. You will agree that We have been quite success- ful, since three of the girls on the negative team this year were Pundits. Besides the usual debates, we have tried two new lines of study in this year's Work -the Drama and the Short Story. All of the dramas studied have been characteris- tics of the people of some country. Their every day life, their ideals, and their as- pirations have been reflected through their literature.

But nevertheless, these mem- bers entered into the work with such zeal that by the second term the enrollment reached the fifty mark. The club has been very fortunate in getting some of the best underclass-men in the school as mem- bers. At the beginning of the year, Mr. Beck- mann, who founded the club and is re- sponsible for its great success, was re- lieved of this duty by Mr. Appelboom g but upon the latter's accepting a position at Kansas University, Mr. Beckmann was again put at the head. Mr. Appelboom certainly deserves as much credit for his assistance to the club in starting out on its year's work. Miss Ross, the new Ger- BECKMANN man teacher, has also rendered the Verein valuable assistance in many ways. The Schiller-Verein has been very well represented in all of the school activities. It has secured places on the Christmas and Senior Plays. Two of its members are editors of the CRIER and HER- ALD. Last, but not least, the club has been greatly honored by having two boys on the boys' Debate teams, one of them being a captain 5 and two girls on the girls' Debate teams. The programs for the Verein during the year have been exceedingly good. Many of the members are quite talented in music, and some excellent selections were given along this line. In addition, we have found time to study the lives and works of great German writers.

We consider our advance a great compliment to the untiring efforts of our adviser, Mr. Phillips, and the support and loyalty of our ever-increasing membership. We have studied the customs, and his- tory, of Spain, Mexico, and many of the countries of South America, as well as the lives of their great men, and have used many stereopticon views for those sub- jects that required more study and ex- planation. On various occasions, outsiders have contributed to our knowledge and enter- tainment. Dr. P. B.

As a climax to the year's work, Mr. E. M. Bainter, who was for four years com- missioner of education in Porto Rico, told us many interesting, and incidentally, amusing things to be seen there. How many of us would carry our shoes on our heads, if we should travel any great dis- tance? The natives of the island are often seen doing this, for shoes are new to them, and exceedingly uncomfortable. Mr. Bainter also spoke of the location of Porto Rico, its general appearance, inhabi- tants, and lastly, of its comparatively ad- vanced position in civilization.

First, we wish to say that, due to un- favorable conditions, the accompanying picture is, in numbers, a poor representa- tion of the club. As a society, we are mere beginners and, being in the formative state as yet, we have been trying many different styles of programs.

By far the greatest work for a young club that we have undertaken was the pro- duction of the French play entitled The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. The actors practiced diligently, and the affair was a great success. Everyone who has studied French knows what an interesting and fascinating lan- guage it is. We of the French Club es- pecially appreciate this fact, and thor- oughly enjoy all our Work.

T IS NOT as an infant of unknown intellectual magnitude that the History Club makes its annual bid for prominence, but as a well pro- portioned, well developed factor in the school life of Westport. History has been the center of our activities, but we have embraced lesser and greater things of in- terest. We have increased our knowledge of local History by hearing reports on such subjects as the School History of Kansas City, Battle of Westport, and the His- tory of Independence.

We point with pride to our Stag Party held in the gym in which we enjoyed an athletic as well as a social program. Then we had an over- night hike to Horse Shoe Lake and no one will forget the good fishing, boating, and canoeing we had that afternoon and the next morning, nor the stunts pulled off that night. We also made a detailed study in the localities of Lee's Summit, Bonner Springs, Grandview, and Liberty. -'.,.f,.-1-...,Tl ill ---1. ----ui.-T' --:::'. - it T - n' - .- . . - 'ra--1 -,g-1:13-gg.. -1 1 -1-:21...g:,.-xg,-,.L.,. ...- .., . - . e- - Q- ...,....--e:-:::-rrv'f'm'-4'r - ' ,.,-.a..,..,-kv. ul. -............... .-5-4-5:-: ,-f:v:m,m.x1..:1..-u.-.-:-f-- l A-774-,J --.Cl.'1'5 '- 4' ' 70 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD.

THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 71 General Society '1Events. The Girls' Mixer. if HIS year has opened a new era in the social life at Westport, the Girls' Mixer marking the begin- ning. This opening event was held Sept. 27 and served to break the ice of conventionality. Since, then the ice has melted completely away and we now have a spirit of geniality and good comradeship that we may well be proud of. A burlesque on Julius Caesar, and other performances by Westport talent en- tertained the crowd for more than an hour. The girls of all four classes were invited, each guest wearing class colors. There was a large attendance, loads of punch, plenty of dancing, and a crowd of masculine spectators outside. This affair warmed things up to the extent that The Alumni Prom marked success No. 2. On Dec. 2, the class of '15 gave a return dance for the Junior Prom given them by the class of '16, Though back in the spring of 1914 the class of '15 failed to put through their Prom, this dance was any thing but a fail- ure. Everyone turned out in crowds- Faculty, Seniors and Alumni. With the rhythm of Charley Shofstall's music still ringing in their ears, several Senior mem- bers of the Irving Club stirred up a move- ment for the revival of the Inter-Society Dance which had been thought dead for several years. The Inter-Society pulmo- tor was applied and there resulted the Inter-Society Mixer. At 3 o'clock on March 31 Can off-day for all the clubsb society members adjourned to the Gym where they were fed on Hilar- ity Salad made of punch and dancing and flavored with stunts fnearly 57 varietiesh, ranging from prize fights to French love scenes and taking in a Spanish Bull fight, an Irish Jig, Cinderella, a picture of a mod- ern belle, an inverted debate, and numer- ous others. The only trouble in the whole affair was that there were too many wall- flowers during the dancing. However, startled by the terrible threat of there be- ing no Junior Prom if the guests refused to mix, this objectionable feature was consplcuous by its absence in the Senior Mixer. A committee of eight Seniors worked faithfully for several weeks and the first Westport Senior party was initiated. Again there were stunts, in which various Senior stars shone. The boys' minstrel show was as good as real vaudeville, the girls' burlesque of Curfew Shall Not Ring To- night was a perfect melodrama, and the pie-eating contest savored of a profes- sional bout. Once more we danced to Charley Shofstall's lively melodies and quaffed off delicious punch, and all this for 3.05 each fthis was in defiance of the H. C. of LJ. The Gym was adorned in the deafening combination of the school and class colors and was so attractive that some eager Juniors sought entrance but were gently ejected until the Junior Prom which took place May 6. After the glor- ious victory of the afternoon in the Quad- rangular, it could not help being a suc- cess. Everyone was so joyous that the occasion was a never to be forgotten one. In fact the enthusiasm was such that no one wanted to leave and it took all the persuasive powers of the chaperons to in- duce the crowd to accept the final Home Sweet Home. The programs were made to order and carried outjthe whole color scheme of Gold and Blue. At the tenth dance, there was a grand march and favors were passed out, the girls rece1v1ng caps and the boys canes. This was a fitting close to the most en- joyable year Westport has known. May there be more of them in the future. My In qm Y U!!

A SEASON OF HARD LUCK. x ESTPORT had bad luck this year in her basket ball. She seemed to have material and plenty of individual stars but somehow, someway, things didn't go right and West- port finished, for the first time in her basket ball history, in fourth place. The season brought out some startling results. Westport beat Manual and Manual beat Northeast. Northeast beat Westport. Westport beat St. Joe and yet St. Joe beat both Manual and Northeast. Westport beat poor Poly by a much larger score than did any other high school in the league. But despite all this, Westport lost. But she lost gamely, and no team may say they conquered Westport easily. We had the reputation for having a hard, fast playing team. Osborne and Tracy were probably the best men of the squad, Osborne making the All-Star team. Frank is a real star and richly deserved his position. He has out- jumped every other center in the league, and his ability to score was no mean fac- tor in his being awarded the honor. But above all, it was his team work with the rest of the men that really placed him in the limelight. It was his work especially that enabled Westport to clean up in the first Manual game. It was his work that enabled us to run up that huge score of 66 against Poly, and Ozzy who helped us keep Central down in that hair raising game in which we lost by the small score of 20 to 15. Tracy was the find of the season. With- out Lib, the team would have been bad- ly crippled. His work as safety guard kept all the opposing scores low. It was the pep inspired by his coming into the game that made Westport outscore Cen- tral in the last half of the first game with the champions by 13 to 10. George was Hoopes' choice for the All-Star team, and Tracy surely deserved it. Evans was the fastest man on the team and to him belongs the record of making the most goals of any guard. His ability to go up the field, shoot, and return in time to hold down his forward, won him the recommendation for the second All- Star team. Hodges and Gottlieb may be grouped to- gether. Hodges is light and fast while Joe is heavy and developing great speed. Both are all-around, good forwards, and should 74 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. BASKET BALL TEAM First Row-L. Cooke, A, Fox.

CENTRAL. This was the hardest fought game of all and the breaks were against us through- out the contest. Although we made as many field goals as did Central, we fell down in free-throwing. The boys proved superior to Central in team work and, al- though they had bad luck in shooting, made as many goals as their opponents. Singer and North made three each, and Middlebrook made three for Westport and also dropped in the only free-throw by our team. But the best feature of the game was the fact that our guards broke up the Singer-North-Van Boskirk machine, hold- ing them down to an insignificant number of goals. The score: Westport, 15 G. F. T.

ST. JOE. Put on their mettle by the Central game, our boys started out to clean up St. Joe. Westport began with a rush, and piled up such a big score that St. Joe was never able to reach us. Hal Hodges started the game at center, Osborne having been injured in the Central game. Osborne, however Was plucky enough to come into the game later on. Middlebrook led in the number of goals with seven, Hodges being next With six. Osborne led in the percentage of free-throws, scoring on both attempts. Al- though St. Joe could not guard very Well, they certainly excelled in goal shooting. In the last part of the last half, they de- veloped a scoring streak, dropping one in after another. Although We finished with fourth place, our team was the only one to beat St. Joe twice. The score: Westport, 46 G. F. T. F.

Tracy, just recovering from a sick spell, speedily put himself out of the game on four personal fouls. Cooke took his place and played a good game. His in- experience was a slight handicap, but de- spite this and his height, he fought to the last. Middlebrook shot four goals and got one free-throw. Gottlieb scored three goals and Osborne two. In the last half, Northeast's guards won the game by shots under the basket. The score was 25 to 21. Westport, 21 G. F. T. F.

MANUAL. The last game was probably the poorest the team played. It was the game that decided whether or not Westport should fall below second place as no other West- port team had ever done. Evans, as guard, did most of the scoring, making three goals. Both the offense and defense of the team were faulty. For the first time, Koenigsdorf out-jumped Frank Os- borne at center. The guards allowed thir- teen goals to be shot while the forwards were making six. On free-throwing, the boys did better, succeeding in nine out of sixteen attempts. The game was a de- cided disappointment both to the team, and the coach. The score: Westport, 21 G. F. T. F.

I lllllmml VICTORY AT M. U. x ESTPORT again showed the skill she displayed at the Quad- rangular Meet by nosing out Webster Grove for first place by 2 1-2 points. This year all the schools were put in classes. Westport was in class B. Only one accident marred Westport's victory. Osborne wrenched his leg in high jumping and as a result tiedffor second with Joyce of Manual. Westport won only twotfirsts, the pole vault and the broad' jump, but the many seconds and thirds made up for all the firsts lost. We Won a fourth in the 220 and tied for a second in the high jump. We also got a fourth in the high jump. A first and a third was added to our score from the broad jump. The pole vault was won by Westport. We placed in every other event but the 100 yd. dash. This shows conclusively what a well bal- anced team we had this year. - .- -, K. C. A. C. MEET. In the first meet of this school year, Westport finished second. Our C and D relay teams certainly know how to run con- sidering their smallness of stature. They won without the slightest eiort. This midget team consisted of Dwyer, Cooke, Carr, and Arnette. Parker finished sec- ond to Coffin of Northeast in the half- mile. Our fifty-yard dash men were beaten badly by the speedy Northeast sprinters. Our relay men in class A and B did fairly well, finishing second. In the quarter, Evans and J arvies were not show- ing the speed they attained in mid-season. Although we finished second, our show- ing was excellent considering the time of the year. ' M. U.-K. U. INVITATION. On Friday, March 17, the K. U.-M. U. Invitation Meet was held at Convention Hall. The meet resulted in a victory for Northeast, Westport second, Manual third and Central fourth. In the C and D relay race, Kent and Dwyer ran away from all contenders, while Parker finished second in the half mile, being beaten by'Coffin of Northeast. Our fifty yard dash men did not win a single point, but Tommy Jarvies was second in the quarter mile. It certainly seems as if luck has been against us, for this is the third consecu- tive Year Westport has placed second in the dual meet. 3?

We were never in danger of being beaten, owing to the remarkable ability many of the Westport boys showed in com- ing from behind in a race and winning in the last twenty yards. The meet was an especially brilliant one, in that, fifteen records were broken, fourteen of them by Westport boys. In only two events in the entire meet did Westport fail to place and in many of the other events two Westport- ers placed. In fact, out of the forty events we won twenty-two. A If it had not been for a very soft and rather slow track, more records would undoubtedly have been broken. Of course, the Harvard and Mich- igan cups come to us again and this means that we must win them one more year to keep them for our own. Westport was particularly honored by Billy,' and Ma Sunday, sitting on a Westport blanket and watching part of the meet. Captain Os- borne broke the high jump record with a hop of 5 feet 9 inches and Lyle Cooke and Hal Hodges broke the broad jump record, the former with a jump of 22 feet I inch, the latter with 22 feet 2 1-2 inches.

High School by a score of thirty-three and a half 'to twenty-three, but she had the satisfaction of beating every other high school in Kansas City, Mo., and all those of the State of Kansas. The boys who ran for Oregon, two of them, were extra- ordinary athletes and outclassed even our foremost stars. As usual Hodges and Osborne starred' by taking first, and Bahlman Parker was the umpire of the meet, when healmost beat Coffin of Northeast, and established a Westport record for the half mile. The meet was highly satisfactory to both the coach and the team. On the way to Law- rence, Kent, a Sophomore sprinter on the team, was elected captain of next year's track team. l..,i1-i-1-i CLASS LETTERS.

I lllllllll Q . 6' 5 O AY 5, 1916, the Westport tennis team paid a visit to Lawrence, to play in the K. U. Invitation Tennis Tournament. The tour- nament was earlier than last year and caught Westport unprepared. But Mr. Harnden rose to the occasion and with a few able advisers, picked a fairly good ten- nis team. However another obstacle threw itself in our way. The Quadrangu- lar Track Meet was May 6, the second day of the tournament. This meet cut out two good players, Alexander and Sandzen. Middlebrook could not play on account of urgent engagements and Stover Baucus quit school. Baucus was a member of last years' tennis team, and by far the best player in school. At ten o'clock, the tournament started, with the sun blazing hot, and the wind blowing hard. Green, drawing a hard bracket, won his first match 6-3, 7-5. Brackett won his first match, and cap- tured his next match very easily. Brackett and Green were the only ones entered in the singles for Westport. Green, meeting Scott, the winner of the tournament, was defeated 6-4, 7-5. Brackett was put out by Zeemus, the runner up in the semi-finals. Both double teams, Arnold and Brackett, Green and Gottlieb, drew byes in the first round. Green and Gottlieb were put out by Scott and Latner, winners of the tour- nament. Arnold and Brackett lost to the runners up in the second round. Not counting their losing, the tennis team spent a joyous time at the expense of the Athletic Committee of K. U. Although Westport lost this year, the prospects for next year certainly are bright. Since three of the members of the team this year were Sophomores, we will have Ar- nold, Gottlieb and Green. We will also have Baucus, who, taking a five-year course, will go two more years. Besides these Alexander, Brackett, and Sandzen will be left. Our out-look for next year is better than any previous year. - TENNIS TOURNAMENTS. This year was the first year a tennis tournament of any consequence was started and finished. In previous years, a tournament was started but not finished. James Middlebrook and Madison Turner were the starters of this tournament. They adopted a new system this year by charging each member twenty-five cents. Their idea was to give the winner a white sweater. About thirty-two students en- tered. That made an eight dollar sweater for the winner. They also tried to get a W to put on the sweater, but as yet they do not know if it is possible. Central and Manual both gave letters to the winners I 1? .4 5 3 C 2 f r 3 l Riffs Xb '3- Sims. 3 x.

Many school stars were entered in this tournament. Among them were F. Alex- ander, Proctor, Brackett, Kessinger, Brewer, C. Alexander, Gottlieb, Arnold, Green, Turner, Middlebrook, and Sandzen. These stars presented some real tennis and the tournament has finally thinned down at the close of school to F. Alexander, Proctor, and Brackett in the upper brackett, while Kessinger and Brewer are fighting it out in the lower brackett. Proc- tor, Kessinger, and Brewer were all dark horses of the tournament. All the players that went to Lawrence were in the tourna- ment and all but one were put out early. Arnold was put out by F. Alexander and Gottlieb was defeated by Brewen while Green met his match in C. Alexander. Brackett the other member was still in at the close of school. Howard Green gJoh,n Brackett Since this tournament was carried on with great success, why not form an early fall tournament? An LFS early fall tourna- ment would helpbring out all the good tennis players so that a team to go to K. U. could be picked without difficulty the following spring. This year Mr. Harnden-, the tennis coach, experienced great diffi- culty in picking a tennis team for K. U-. Let's look ahead next year and make tennis a major sport. Next Year. We can console ourselves in tennis by showing up the rest of the schools next year. Next year we will have three mem- bers of this year's team. These are: Got- tlieb, Arnold, and Green. We will also have F. Alexander, Brewer, and Proctor, the stars of this year's tournament. With such stars in the school, we can already see the cups in our trophy case.

' Basket-Ball as usual over-shadowed all events of the year in its popularity. The practice season, opening immediately af- ter Thanksgiving called forth the usual gym adherents together with a few out- side the physical training students. Miss Bell, anxious to make this activity the event of the year, worked out some un- usual plans to further a livelier interest in the game. Instead of the customary choice of the teams by the coach, a committee from each class, three members sure of positions or their respectice squads, was elected by those representing their class in basket-ball work, to undertake the se- lection of the permanent line-ups. The plan proved a success and proved useful during the remainder of the year for other activities. The season's outcome showed a straight record of victories for the Juniors, prac- tically the same team that was the bas- ket-ball cup-winner back in the season of '14, The series opened with the Senior- Junior game which was destined to be the hardest fought of the season. A score tied but for the last few minutes of play ex- cited even the neutral onlookers. Neither team was disheartened by a lack of en- couragement, the class cheer-leader dis- playing excellent control over the enthusi- astic rooters. The Juniors seeming to have the least chance for the champion- ship by their defeat of the Seniors, a gen- eral rivalry for second place, now com- menced, the keenest competition being be- twen the Freshmen and Seniors. As a last event of the tournament, with an equal number of victories and defeats to their credit, the Seniors and Freshmen en- tered their decisive game which termi- nated in a grand triumph for the Seniors The Freshmen, nevertheless, have a promising team, and with such players as Bernice Winburne and Frances Rayen, they will have the best of opportunities to proclaim themselves future champions The Sophs still suffered from the usual hard luck, even Dorothy Ludwig's ability affording them not the slightest chance Emily Davis, the star forward of the league was a member of the team that ac- quired second place. The Seniors were worthy rivals of the Juniors and it was mostly by the excellent team-work of the latter that the class of '17 was ever-vic- torious in the Basket-Ball tournament. Seniors Tech Per.

HOCKEY. -tr HE triangle on Gillham was the scene of this year's most exciting inter-class contest. As the only school in the city offering hockey as an activity, Westport proceeded to show her pride in that innovation by form- ing class teams under Miss Bell's coaching. Every Tuesday and Thursday of the fall term found hockey practice in full swing, every class showing its enthusiasm by its constancy in training. By November, a hot rivalry was established for the open- ing tournament and according to prelimin- ary practice work, the Juniors held a slight advantage. The Freshmen, because of their usual bashfulness and timidity were not as well represented as the upper classmen. But all members of the teams were exceptionally heady players, worthy products of the constant coaching. And the weather with unusual deference, of- fered no opposition. As the hockey tournament was destined to overlap the basket-ball work, Miss Bell decided to adopt a schedule which would in no way interfere with the Tuesday and Thursday basket-ball practice. This plan made it necessary that the series be played off at irregular intervals, but even this took away no interest from the con- test. Each team played six games, meet- ing its three opponents twice. Contrary to general expectation, the series opened with a Junior defeat. But since the Senior team had the extreme good luck to be the possessor of Francis Marr, even Meldon Everett, Boots nf- -x,-z.for4'una4- a -1-v1f.tn.nr4..i.....

Absent Bernice Moore. Thomas and the rest of the Junior squad were unable to fathom her peculiar drib- ble and excellent goal defense. The Sen- iors added successive victories over both Freshmen and Sophs and at the end of the tournament showed a record clear of de- feat. It was by their combined work, irre- spective of any one player, that the Fresh- men were able to gain their only victories over the Sophs, a team composed of such players as Helen Dayhoff and Blanche Longshore, worthy opponents even if they were members of a losing team. The final standing of the different hockey teams following the tournament was as follows: CLASS WON Losfr PER CENT Senior .... ..... 8 0 1.000 Junior ............,. 4 2 .666 Freshmen ........ 2 4 .333 Sophs .............. 0 6 .000 Aroused by the prevalent interest in hockey, the gym girls of Polytech with the assistance of Miss Bellows, their instruct- or, gave our two winning Junior and Sen- for teams a general good time down at Poly. It was a novel event and was tho- roughly appreciated by all the guests. In considering the popularity hockey ac- quired this year, there is no doubt that in the future that game will have the hearty support of the girl's athletic department. i J W 1 Rut 'Q on am res 38 fol tai no' als fir drc ret ior fol ' ' ' - ' ' 'iv 'fT'TffT'.

The indoor meet, held directly after the Easter holidays on April 26, enabled the Juniors to add another winning score to their credit, the result of the contest showing a score of 38 1-2 points in their favor, the Freshmen following with 24 1-2. The Freshmen cer- tainly held their own in the event, having not only the largest representation but also the greatest enthusiasm for acquiring first place in track work. The Seniors drew third place, the Sophs managing to retain their usual fourth. 3 It was marvelous to see the eight Jun- ior entries capture practically every event for which they tried. Dorothy Matticks, Meldon Everett, and Boots Thomas were individual stars winning successive vic- tories in both track and field work. Hur- dles was a new event in girls' track, but Dorothy Matticks ran them like one long- tried in the practice. The Juniors cer- tainly were a pennant-winning team. Of the Freshmen, Madge Lutz and Ber- nice Winburne were good little track workers. The former gained first place in the high jump and the latter was the speedy mainstay of the relay team. The Seniors found their usual star in Francis Marr who won the dash, the rope-jump, and the giant stride vault, making the lar- gest share of the Senior points. The Sophs' single first was made by Blanche Longshore on the travelling rings. Miss Bell, Miss Leitch, Miss Mundy, and Miss Streeter were very capable officials and judges. - - . ,, .-1:41. -f rv- --Q -------f-g 1'--' Tg1f7'1i 'v:s,-expr- .......,.1..i.

Well I should say so! This statement is founded on fact and fiction and the reason for it is obvious and indisputable. As Freshmen we were infant prodigies, as Sophomores precocious, as Juniors we left nothing to be desired and as Seniors we reached the top-most rung of perfection. The class roll is in itself an honor roll, more honor students being members of Six- teen than any other class ever graduated from Westport, while Seniors have consti- tuted the greater number of students in school activities. The fact that two-thirds of those chosen for the Christmas Play were Seniors, did not spoil the Senior Play as there was such an abundance of talent left over from the Christmas Play that the Senior Play was a model of perfection. Twelve of our sixteen debaters were Seniors and they caried the Blue and Gold through her most triumphant of all debate seasons. We are indeed cleverness personified and our ver- satility is upheld by the majority of ath- letes being Seniors, while in both class basket-ball and class track we were un- disputed champions. To make the tale more merry, we have been the back-bone of the glee clubs and orchestra all through our brilliant career. Our enthusiasm is of the never-say- die sort. It was we who revived the Junior Prom from the depths of oblivion where our predecessors had carelessly alf lowed it to fall. And it was also we who set a new dramatic precedent in produc- ing a pageant worthy of professionals, We it was who presented the school with its beautiful new curtain. It was a member of Sixteen who started the idea of having the CRIER and another of our ,members started the Student Aid Fund. We have awakened a new spirit and set a high standard that other classes to come must work even to approach. So here's to Sixteen, the class above all others in the school above all others! Proud of her? Well we should say so! The Class of Sixteen. ' ' A' 'Z' - lf'-'-I' f' 'L'- ' - '- : j':'1 3 :infra-ei--.

We were rather bash- ful and reluctant to take the first step. The duration of this attitude was indeed brief. Our pace has increased rapidly, and now at the end of the third quarter, we are going at record speed. We are looking forward to the goal, when the period of our stay at Westport will be termed its Golden Age. Will we be worthy of this title? What have we done to justify our ambition to win it? These questionns will be answered if we stop to consider just what we have accomplished this year. We have taken part in everything that has invited class participation-class fights, basketball, debates, and track. Of course there is very little to say regarding class fights, since there was but one skirmish with the Seniors, over their flag, in which we emerged victorious, without having to resort to pugilistic strategy. In regard to our other great undertak- ings, we have excellent proof of our worth. In basketball, three of our members were on the first team, and several more on the squad. We had a good representation on the debate, both boys' and girls' Two lN in our extreme youth we Juniors were on the ever-victorious boys' team. In track, although we were rather unsuccessful in inter-class meets, we did our part in piling up points in the big inter-scholastic meets. With such a number of great achieve- ments to our credit, we hope to start in as Seniors next year with increased enthus- iasm, and add new brilliance to the already glorious name of the Class of '17. No, the Seniors won't drain Westport of her best, in every activity, as many peo- ple seem to think. As a matter of fact, there is an inexhaustible supply of fine ma- terial remaining in the Junior Class alone. Perhaps the following brief summary will furnish sufficient proof, to satisfy the doubters, and overwhelm the pessimists. In basketball, two-fifths of this year's team, the star guards, George L. Tracy, and Herbert Evans, will give us a good start next year. Besides these admitted whangs, there are a score of other prom- ising fellows: Paul Proctor, Clifford Walker, Raymond Hazelton, Lyle Cooke and George Browning, all of Wh01T1 are Juniors. And our track team! This Daft Of ath- letics received a knockout blow since it was deprived of twelve of its best men. But this deficiency will be amply met by 2 number of our good track men. We have 130 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. ,,,,,,,-, , mln. ,,. W., CLASS OFFICERS Pres., Lyle Cooke V.

Yes, we'll bring those two Quadrangular Cups to Westport for all time, next year. Our debate prospects are strong. To begin with, next year we will have three ex- perienced girl debaters, Ethel Shuffle- botham, Helen Creager, and Margaret Moses, and two boy debaters, Harry Schauffler, and Foster Strong. Many other Juniors have determined to try out next year, and enable Westport to repeat this year's performance.

Now is the time to start an ac- count and then add the savings of summer work or the money that is earned in vacation, and with such funds as father and mother can add. Your Parents Should Help If you could only hear the stifled cry of the 1,7 00,00 children under fifteen who are toiling long hours at low wages in fields, factories, mines and worships, you'd vow that an account in our bank should forever defend your boy or girl from the menace of wage slavery, in event of misfortune. Banking is Protection and Makes Dreams Come True Nearly every boy or girl at some time has thoughts of college or training school or a start in business, but the chances are slim without money. In the common schools of this country are 16,000,000 children-a young American nation-the great mass of whom will never enter high school, and less than one perocent of the nation's children ever reach the univers1ty. Early thflftn IS practically the only power that will enable a boy or girl to reallze a life ambition. . , , Remember, an account in our bank is an education ln buslness methods and systematic thrift.
