Once again has old Westport been be- sieged by attacks and fads as natural to her as the measles and mumps of our in- fancy. We successfully passed through such preliminaries as pigtail and hobo days, We survived countless graduation books, We thrived upon such joys as class day and the Senior Play, We passed through that week of night-mares, exam- ination time, with flying colors, and then, with a flourish, rounded up with the final flutter and excitement of graduation it- self. And now, once more, is Westportisend- ing out into the World a goodly band of her sons and daughters, liberally endowed with talent, hope, and aspirations, ready to enter the struggle of life unflinchingly. But this, their last year, as a fitting finale, has been a glorious one, and a hap- py one, a year of maximum honors and minimum defeats. For the second time Westport's invincible eleven emerged from the conflict champions, and undefeated. ' Although we were not quite so fortunate in basket ball, yet, surely we have every cause to be proud of our team. Then there are our victorious debate teams! Could there be anything more fair than the longed for Amherst Cup, which has come, we pray, to remain forever among our trophies.

This year, too, for the first time came Freshman organization, and a Fresh- man mixer. It was this splendid school spirit that supported the Crier and fostered the Her- ald, and has enabled the staff to place this book before you in its entirety. Thus it is quite fitting that we should dedicate this Herald of 1920 to the student body, for it is their support and help which has made the Herald a reality. It is for that part of the Student Body which returns next fall to produce the winning teams of 1921. From their ranks must come the foot ball team which will uphold our victorious standards, and men to be drafted for basket ball and track. It is the Student Body which must keep 'iuf ' lf 'Hugo-f gf - -' e' P .. ir 14 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. the Amherst Cup within our walls, and place beside it the one so long usurped by Manual. But to those who leave old Westport now, she entrusts her name. May her graduates keep it ever clean and fair, and become the staunch citizens of tomorrow. Success to all Westporters in these un- dertakings, and may the year 1921 be re- corded as one of even more achievement than the ever glorious 1920! The Crier ,On April 21, the Crier completed its seventh year as one of the most indis- pensible institutions at Westport, a year, which in the eyes of all has far surpassed the six previous ones. To begin with, three hundred and fifty more subscriptions were secured this year than last, which enabled us to increase the size of our paper twice, and likewise the substantial increase secured by our adver- tising and exchange departments have helped to improve it immensely. This last year has not been an 'easy one. The staff faced serious difficulities con- nected with printing the Crier at the very beginning because of the serious shortage of paper and labor. Sometimes you were forced to wait one, two or even three days for your Crier, a fact which the staff re- gretted as deeply as did our subscribers. We are not wholly ashamed of our ef- forts. We endeavored to give you as nearly as possible the things that you liked, and wanted, and in a measure we think we have succeeded. We have made it a point to secure interesting features for each issue, and established Carrie's famous column, the Violet Ray, and Our Contemporariesj' and have added the essential local color, heretofore lack- ing. Yet, by no means have we attained our loftiest aspirations for the Crier. We of the staff first of all realize how far we must go to fulfill this standard. But by an increasing number of subscriptions and even more loyal support, the Crier of 1921 cannot help but be more nearly the paper of our ideals, and yours. 1.-i The Coal Strike Early in December the whole United States was shocked by the news of coal strikes. In an effort to save coal enter- prises devoted to business and recreation alike were cut down to minimum capacity. Thus for the second consecutive year Westport was forced to close because of unfavorable conditions. Fortunately, how- ever, our impromptu vacation lasted but a week. And then, an unprecedented occurrence, for two whole days the haughty Central- ites were forced to trudge wearily through the bitter cold to the school high upon the hill so mighty, and to attend classes in its sheltering warmth. VVhat strange scenes and queer experiences, and what ridiculous happenings Westport's vener- able walls witnessed during those short days! But not content with doing all in their power to conserve coal, nine husky West- porter's answered to the call of duty in the coal fields. For ten days, under con- ditions none too favorable, our volunteers cheerfully performed the drudgery of mining until the termination of the strike brought a most welcome end to their work. l-in--qi..-.1-..

It remained for the enterprising Freshmen of 1920, however, to really complete the span by daring to elect a Business Committee, and to give a perfectly splendid mixer! ,.....,.-,.i....--i---1- The Memorial Fund During the long weary months of the war, Westporters, ever ready to answer the call of duty, carried on their full quota of wartime activities, quickly, and willingly. Thus it was only right that Westport should lead all Kansas City High Schools with a total contribution of 31,659.64 to the Liberty Memorial Drive, an average of a little less than ninety-five cents per person. A speciali patriotic assembly in which two Juniors and two Seniors gave 'earn- est, eloquent and stirring pleas was one of the features of the campaign at West- port. ,i.l.,l...-.-L1-- Big Sister Movement Every year brings some innovation, 'thus 1920 brought the Big Sister Move- ment. . The obj ect of the organization is to pro- mote friendship between the upper and lower classmen, and although this is but its first year, the Big Sister Movement has been so successful in its undertaking that it promises to become one of the es- tabilshed institutions in Westport life. For the present, at least, the Big Sis- ters' organization will be under the aus- pices of the Girls' High School Club. The chairman, or general, as she is more commonly called, commands twelve cap- tains. Each captain is in charge of nine lieutenants, all of whom have, in turn, three privates, Freshmen girls, under their command. May this worthiest of organizations have even greater success in the future than during the past year. The Flunkers Matinee The daily matinees held last year proved so popular and successful that Mr. Shouse obligingly secured a return engagement for this year. The two afternoon performances from one ten to two fifty were presided over by Miss Corbin and Mr. Beckmann, and the passes, white, with the initial F on them, were seen in greater numbers this year than ever before. Yet those who reaped the benefit from the flunk matinee did not seem to enjoy or properly appreci- ate it, so for their benefit, as well as for the reputation of old Westport, let us hope that the attendance at these gather- ings will become smaller in the future. ...Q- Class Mixers Among all our social activities, the class mixers probably should rank first. Here the pupils make acquaintances and friend- ships which could scarcely be formed in the class rooms. Mixers promote the feeling of fellowship and companionship which has given Westport its distinctive atmosphere of open and sincere friend- liness. These affairs also promote school loyalty and support of our athletic teams. Our mixers this year have been the best Westport has ever had, and judging from the record-breaking attendance, they were thoroughly appreciated by all. The Seniors gave their first mixer Feb- ruary 24, and it was certainly a pro- nounced success from start to finish. A vaudeville program, consisting of stunts given by our local talent, received en- thusiastic approbation. Then came the customary dance with an orchestra consisting of student mu- sicians. Refreshments were the neces- sary and final feature of an unequaled entertainment. The Juniors provided the festivities on l .Z f- far if 15? ' . .. .A v... ..

One of the outstanding fea- tures was the wearing of blue and gold bows by all who were present. After a wonderfully interesting program, dancing closed a most enjoyable afternoon. Following a precedent established last year by the class of 1921 the Sophomores entertained Wednesday, April 21. The first part of the mixer was devoted to a thoroughly interesting program given by some of the class's promising would- be actors and actresses. The program, besides being very interesting and en- joyable, was also educational, and many left thoroughly enlightened upon the sub- ject of whether chickens should roost on round or square poles. After this the gym was given over to tripping the light fantastic. Together with refresh- ments, this closed the entertainment, and the music of Home, Sweet Home ended a perfectly grand and glorious after- noon. l MEMORIAE.

The de- lay gave opportunity for unusually thor- ough preparation and finally, on Janu- ary 16, the delightful comedy Alabama was presented before an audience which filled the auditorium to overflowing. Although the play is now only a mem- ory, it will be treasured as one of West- ports' finest dramatic achievements. Truly a beautiful piece of work, it ,de- serves all the praise which it has re- ceived. Every member of the cast was a star, and while each one covered him- self with glory, there was one superior piece of acting. Elizabeth Hanawalt, as Mrs. Page, the leading lady, was nothing short of wonderful. Her poise, her enun- ciation, her expression, all showed her to be a true actress. As is usually the case with widows, she had her share of admirers. The most successful of these was Captain Davenport, the long lost son of Col. Preston. Herschel Clevenger won distinction for himself in this part and the deep feeling and 'emotion which characterized his acting was all that could be sought for in a leading man. The un- successful lover in the affair was old Squire Tucker, and Adolph Larson with his peculiarly charming Southern drawl, played the Taladega magistrate to perfec- tion. His yes'm, I'ma comin will long re- main in the minds of those who heard him that night: Jessie Smullen, as Cary Preston, was charming in the portrayal of her char- acter. She carried out her delightful role of a young Southern girl admirably, and Phil Russell, cast as Mr. Armstrong, exercised rare judgment in urging her to elope with him. Phil, as her lover, seen his duty and done it nobly, as it were. He showed his real talent in the little love scene in the first act and brought down the house with his love- making. The little romance might have blossomed sooner had it not been for Cary's old grandpa, Col. Preston, played by Raymond Childs, who, with all an old man's tenacity and provincialism, refused to give his sanction to the match. Childs gave an interesting interpretation of the old Southern planter and instilled much of the old man's sentimentalism into the atmosphere of the drama. The play would not be complete with- out a villain, and who could say that Chester Cooksey, as,Raymond Page, was not as mean and detestable a villain as could be found? Colonel Moberley, otherwise Howard Fisk, was always on hand when needed , ,jim - - -1s.nu-T-PM ..,,, nw- 'W f' N Y fi S- vw 9 -. 4-fin' 4 . J' ff Q L' 1 Christmas Play Cast with his I kiss yo' hand. He had a daughter to be proud of in Muriel East- man QAtlantaJ who with Dryden Hodge QLathrop Page! gave an amusing por- trayal of two bashful lovers. Col.

No one would ever have thought that George Pratt could make such a good nigger as Decatur until he saw Al- abama George's wobbly legs and nig- ger talk brought much laughter from the audience. The colored race had two more distinguished representatives in the persons of Annie Laurie Page and Eliza- beth Martin QBecky and Chloeb. They, too, were finds and no one disclaims their pr-owess when it comes to cacklin. As stated before, the play was a re- markable success, due to Mr. Humphrey's and Miss Short's persistent drilling of the cast. The cast was in the rough to start with but by the night of the pres- entation they shone brilliantly. The scenic effects were elaborate, particu- larly in the third act, which deserves especial mention. THE CAST Colonel Preston . ............ Raymond Child!

The scenery and costumes were dazzling and Rey Farfan each member of the cast displayed the graceful, Spanish court manners drilled into him by the director, Mr. Phillips. James Hyndman and Marian Wynne as the King and Queen were indeed regal in every line, and gave exceedingly in- teresting interpretations of their parts. It was for the little princess, Adelia .--.1,qsif --152: -r- ff--wr - iq, I- -,Y ' 11 - W cgi 20 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Coles, to score the success of the even- ing. She showed herself a true actress in every motion, and was deserving of all the applause showered upon her by the audience. Adolph Larson and Ray- mond Childs, although in minor parts, displayed the ease and grace of trained actors and made the most of their op- portunities, giving excellent interpreta- tions of their respective roles. Jessie Lee Martin, Julia Kerfoot, Julius Bis- chofsheimer and Claude Bowman as the ladies in waiting and courtiers of the court gave a real Iberian atmosphere to the play and drew frequent applause for their almost perfect portrayals of their characters. The Countess of the Wrongs, as played by Olga Anderson and her lady-in waiting, Leah Morgan, showed exceptional skill in the handling of their partsg. and Tomillo CRoy .Silvermanj displayed rare talent as the gardener and protector of the princess. The parts of the dwarf and his three daughters were well played by Don Wren, Josephine Wren, Helen Haynes, and Dorothy Rose. A martial spirit was introduced into the play when Peralada, QJerrauld Dissmanl with his army of three soldiers came marching in. Although the dancers and philosophers fLucille Osgood, Mabel Mc- Cartney, Martha Siess, Porter Wright, Clayton Goar and Lula Canada! were un- able to interest the King, they kept the audience either in convulsions or in tears all the time. James Darnell and Theo- dore Thee as the page and Peransuerez are deserving of praise for their portrayals of their roles. The music used in the singing and dancing was composed by the members of the cast. Helen Decker, Margaret Foley, and Lucille Osgood sang several delightful songs, of their own composi- tion, which were inserted in the action of the play. Miss Bradley deserves a great deal of praise for the training of her girls who gave the Spanish dance. The solo dances given by Eleanor Seibert were among the most pleasing features of the performance. 1-1 STOP The reputation of the class of '20 along dramatic lines was amply sustained when a clever cast presented the snappy, SP3-Fkling comedy, Stop Thief, Satur- day 6VG11ing, May 29. The play was full of action, full of loughs, and from start to finish the audience was convulsed with merriment. Dorothy Alderson, as Joan Carr one of the bride's sisters, won atteution at once with her pleasing personality. She gave an artistic finish to her natural winsomeness. Jimmie Stewart, with his inimitable lovemaking, made an irresistable Dr. THIEFU Willoughby, whom even Joan couldn't re- sist for long. The part of Mrs. Carr was excellently played by Helen Mason. She was digni- fied and stately and showed a perfect appreciation of a mother's duty in time of stress. Mr. Carr, her husband, played by James Darnell, reflected wonderfully the atmosphere pervading the entire play. Elizabeth Martin, one of his daughters, gave a heavy interpretation of her role. Nell and Jack, taken re- spectively by Annie Laurie Page and Bob Swisher, with sly, clever wit started the whole whirlygig of action.

Bob Mc- Geehan, as Mr. Jamison, with the deter- mined air of a successful business man, Won much applause. Jerome Stuart, as the detective, with his cocksureness was a scream. His socks, tie, and hat gave a devilish touch which is normally lack- ing in Jerome. Vincent Gerbereux, as the Sergeant of Police, with his commanding Voice and military bearing, took the situation in hand with perfect ease. M. V. Dilling- ham, Paul Simonds, and Drydeu Hodge, the Police Officers, were forcible in their actions. Jack Eades supported the cast in the minor role of the Chauffeur. ,N ,,.,, vrnquf-'-r T' 'lNn?-f , i W-iw.

He urged the maintenance of the highest standards by both the boys and girls in their relations to each other. 1- -il- Crier Football Assembly In an assembly September 29, Mr. Booth, adviser of the Crier Staff, ex- plained why a school paper was desirable and told of his hopes and plans for this year's Crier. Mr. Harman, athletic manager, was the second speaker. He urged the sale of season tickets, and gave further ath- letic announcements. The football players were then intro- duced by Coach Edwards, and they demonstrated several plays for the bene- fit of those not familiar with footbalL Four Minute Speakers A very impressive assembly was held October 24. Inspiring addresses were made by four students chosen by com- petition on the theme of the 'So1dier's Memorial. The Juniors were represent- 'mwwf' ed by Miriam Burns and Howard Fisk, and the Seniors by Frances Wells and Herschel Clevenger. Dr. Marcotte closed the program with a splendid speech on the same subject. A Variety Program An interesting program was given in assembly November 10. Miss Bradley presented W's to the winners in the tennis tournament of last year. Speeches from representatives of the three upper classes then aroused great enthusiasm for the Thanksgiving festi- val-to-be. The program closed with a short re- cital by Mr. Herman 'Springer and his assistant, Miss Hacklett. It was greatly enjoyed by all.

THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 23 Dr. Barker A strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heart was the subject of a speech given December 19 by Dr. Charles E. Barker, a prominent Rotarian. His words struck home and though he hit straight from the shoulder he can count on 1,800 loyal friends in Westport. l..i.i.-.l--1 The Triangular Life Dr. Lyon, the evangelist, spoke to us March 1 on the Triangular Life. He urged well balanced development for each individual along physical, intellectual and spiritual lines. Mr. Cook of Dr. Lyons' party gave several enjoyable trombone and vocal solos. ,,...i.l.1..l.-. Major MacMorland Major E. E. MacMorland, a graduate of Westport in 1911 and at present an army officer, gave a most interesting and in- structive talk before the school on Mon- day, March 8. During his service overseas Major MacMarland was stationed on the Murman coast of Northern Russia. He related his experiences and discussed the theories and practices of the Bolsheviki. li. Dr. Barker Again Dr. Barker returned March 9, much to our delight, and separate assemblies were held for the boys and girls. The fathers were invited to come with their sons, and the mothers to come to the girls' assembly. Dr. Barker's popularity increased, if possible, with his return. . Debate Friday, March 19, the Central boys' de- bate team met the negative team of Northeast for the regular Interscholastic debate of the season. Northeast emerged victorious by a vote of 4 to 1. On March 18 an impromptu assembly was held after sixth hour. Joy reigned supreme because scarcely an hour before the two boys' debate teams had arrived home, each bringing a victory. The two teams and the coaches were on the plat- form and each member favored the audi- ence with a few words. An assembly was called Tuesday, April 6, for the purpose of awarding the debate W's. Miss Bain presented the girls' em- blems and Mr. Humphrey the boys'. Herschel Clevenger was introduced and presented the Amherst Debating Trophy to the school with the hope that it was here to stay. Mr. Shouse accepted it in the name of the school and placed in the trophy case. Dr. J. W. Fifield addressed an assem- bly on The Choice of a Life Time Oc- cupationi' There are three views to take, he said, the look within, the look without and the look above. The speech was interesting and was well re- ceived by the students. Mr. Bainter, of Junior College, gave Westport a real treat when he brought the college Glee Club and string quartet to our assembly hall Monday, April 26. The program was of unusual interest and quite remarkable in the fact that all rag- time and shimme songs were excluded from the selections. Mr. Bainter has proved that the old songs are still popular and We are indeed indebted to him for a most enjoyable entertainment. On Monday, May 3, Mr. Booth made an announcement concerning the price and publication of the Herald and then pre- sented the ten dollar prize for the best Herald cover to Frances Hayes. Mrs. Morland Peck and her company of harp- ists then entertained us. -qs-ra Q-r P-vgf -up--f-f -Q..-va A 'Q Y ' . - Y .. 1 . . . ,.fa,. , v, ,ff sg 24 THE wEsTPoHT HIGH SCHOCL HERALD.

All the clubs gave side shows: there was dancing in the gymg there was a vaudeville in the auditoriumg cider and doughnuts were served in the lunch roomg the Missouri University Band gave a concert-in short there was nothing lacking. Everything ran smoothly and everybody was happy. In fact, no mixer has ever been so successful as the All School Party. Football Dance Mr. and Mrs. Shouse entertained with a dance for the football players Decem- ber 13 at Morton's Hall. Assisting the hosts were Mr. and Mrs. Harman, Mr. Edwards and Mr. and Mrs. Russell. The dance was one of the most pleasant and successful events of the year. 30 Mr. Constant Entertains Mr. Constant, of the French Depart- ment, entertained the members of our football squad with a dinner given at his home on December 21.

Mr. Shaw and Mr. Foster, heads of the Latin and English departments respectively, re- signed last June after more than ten years' service. They are now the owners and managers of the Southern Military Academy of Greensboro, Alabama. Miss Duncan succumbed to the wiles of Cupid and became the bride of Mr. Jack Sievers last -October. Miss Liepsner was one of the contracting parties in an early morn- ing wedding last Christmas day. She married Mr. James W. Shanahan. Miss Northrop, who taught French last year, returned to- Junior College in September and later married Mr. John W. Keyes. Matrimony also proved more alluring than teaching for Miss Florence Fuqua, substitute last year. During the sum- mer she became Mrs. Donald Joseph. Miss Platz and Miss Leitch also left us. Miss Leitch is living with her sister in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mrs. Liggett returned after a year's leave of absence, during which she was engaged in war work at Camp Upton, Long Island. Miss Rosenberger, who spent last year in study at the University of Chicago, is back in her old position in the English department. Ill health forced Miss Humfeld to resign at the end of the first term. Her place is being filled by Miss Reese. Mr. Shelley E. Bennett is Mr. Foster's successor. Mr. Bermett is a graduate of Yale and has taught in Lincoln College, Illinois, and in Shattuck Military Acad- emy. Mr. Irving C. Demarest, Columbia, 1908, is the new head of the Latin de- partment. He held positions previously in Columbia University and in Queen's College, Ontario. Mr. Paul Constant is filling the position caused by Miss North- rop's departure. He received his degree at the University of Louvain in 1912 and came here from the Des Moines High School. Fred G. Anibal succeeded Miss Liepsner. He is from Central College and served overseas as a lieutenant in the Aviation Corps. Miss Brubaker, who teaches English and Algebra, is a graduate of Witten- berg College, Springfield, Ohio. Miss Leona E. Short, Mr. Humphrey's new as- sistant, completed a course at the Iowa State Teachers' College and later spent a year in the government service as enter- tainer at various cantonments. Miss Max- well, a former Westport student and member of the Herald staff, takes Miss Corbin's place as librarian. Miss Corbin now presides in Room 52. Miss Ruth Storr was promoted to Miss Duncan's po- sition. Her new title is Registrar, and Miss Lottie E. Rudolph fills the position of clerk. . ...l..il.. The Freshman Mixer I Ol We are the youngest of Westport High. Just see what we have done-have done! If you didn't see, have you heard abo-ut the Freshman triumph? Our mixer was a Wonderful success-thanks to the help of students, Mr. Mills, Miss Kleeman and members of the faculty who participated. The class of '23 has originality but we didn't feel experienced enough to change the customs established by venerable up- per classmen, so our mixer was much like others. Our program of stunt performances in- cluded a model school, a trained horse, musical numbers, Freshman relay race, followed by dancing. Upper class people assisted materially by staying away from the mixer. Ethel M. Henderson, '23., ' 'isnt-f . KA 1g...A3-9-'g5'tQ 47f'f, , . 41 'M fy - na.. 26 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Our Veterans We were all justly proud of the large number of stars on our service flag last year, and 'especially of the eleven gold stars placed there in memory of those who gave their lives for justice and democracy. This year we have had with us six boys who left school to enter the service and returned last fall to complete their course. Four of them were members of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force and participated in some of the hardest fighting. Two of our veterans enlisted in the Navy and went overseas. Jerrauld Dissman was stoker on the U. S. S. Oklahoma. Jerrauld made eight trips to Europe and during his training he saw a large part of the United States. Although he has been asked to re-enlist in the service, he feels that he saw enough of life on the wild ocean wave. Arthur Dods was a corporal in the 42nd Division Signal Corps. He was in France nearly twenty months and was in seven battles, including Chateau Thierry, Ar- gonne, St. Mihiel and the Champagne. After the armistice was signed he was in the Army of Occupation. Archibald Davidson, 112th Engineers, 35th Division. Archie was in France twelve months, during which time he was in the battle of Argonne Forest and was in the reserves at St. Mihiel and Amiens. Dwight Hillyer was bugler of the 11th Field Artillery. During the year he was in France he was in the battle of Argonne Forest where he had many thrilling ex- periences. Clifford Giles was in France twelve months and engaged in several battles, among which were the battles of Argonne Forest and the Somme. Giles had some real experiences while overseas as he played football on the stone streets of France. 'lE ,..z, Glenn Giffin enlisted Oct. 18, 1917, and was sent to the Great Lakes Naval Train- ing Station where he remained until late in January. He was then sent to the ma- chine gun and bomb school at Utica, N. Y. On the tenth of May Giffin boarded the C. S. S. President Lincoln and was sta- tioned at Pauilliac, France. When he again set foot on American soil, Jan- uary 11, 1919, he had spent ten months testing machine guns and bombs for aero- planes. Patrons' Evening One of the first events of the year Was the meeting of parents and teachers Friday evening, October 3. There were two hundred or more visitors, who, in years and sedateness, contrasted strik- ingly with the carefree throng parading the halls of a morning. The real meeting began by everyone gathering in the auditorium to listen to a talk by Mr. Shouse. Problems of the school which require the co-operation of the parents for their solution were dis- cussed by Mr. Shouse. Parents were as- sured that they are always welcome at Westport and were urged to come fre- quently. Following the meeting in the audi- torium the parents met the teachers in the recitation rooms where the parents and teachers were given an opportunity to discuss the faults and virtues of the pupils. On April 13 six boys from the Ameri- can History Classes were invited down to the City Club to hear Dr. Albert Bush- nell Hart, head of the History Departf ment of Harvard University, speak on The Necessity of Preparedness. The boys made reports to their respective classes later concerning the lecture. liiuuunan' 153'-, - ,JV A,--Q, rmzv-----H '- ' , - -f -r-gems - -M.: , -A - f ' -' ' -4 - ', .- ' 1 ' -, . , - , ' .V ., 1-if J' - ' A ' , -ss.....h,,,k, Q .f-W 411 X The the ar ment . achieve The was ev enrollnn spoke school and de One was a studenl Oh!

The popularity of the drawing classes was evidenced by the large increase in enrollment last fall which eloquently be- spoke the awakening interest of the school in general concerning drawing and designing. One of the biggest events of the year was a contest, open to all high school students in Kansas City, for the best, Oh! Oh! Cindy! poster. The first prize 'of twenty dollars was offered by the Athe- naeum which held the competition. Al- though Central has a class which devotes the entire year to posters, Westport had more entries than any other school and Mildred Pearson, one of Miss Wil- hite's pupils, won the first prize. The other two prizes went to Central. Edith Forbes and Helen Stout received honor- able mention. In spite of the many interruptions the regular work of the different classes, ranging from skyscrapers in two-point perspective to costumes suitable for a thin person or a still life study in oils or Sheraton furniture designs was car- ried on with zeal and enthusiasm. The 'climax of the year arrived when Frances Hayes, a Junior, was awarded ten dollars in gold as first prize for the Herald cover. Elsie Hartwig, Esther Knop and Elea- nor Jones received honorable mention and a free copy of the Herald. The judges for the contest were Mr. C. F. Slaughter, commercial artist of the Holland Engraving Company 5 Miss Fran- ces Maxwell, commercial artist for Harz- feld's Parisiang Miss Coah Henry, art instructor at Central High Schoolg Miss Lovina Eggleston, student at the Fine Arts Instituteg Mrs. H.

Two of our most in- teresting assemblies were those in which the orchestra participated, and at both the Senior and Christmas plays and at commencement it rendered programs worthy of commendation. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Hedges rehearsals have been held twice a week for two periods. The class of 1920 claims five valued members. However, we feel fortunate in still being able to retain some of the good material for next year. The orchestra extends their best wishes to those of their number who graduate.

I refer especially to those cunning midgets, Bug Polk and Howard Peck, to Eleanor Brown, with her prodigious accumulation of F'sg to that pulling infant, Jack Haas. But there are others who cast such a dazzling light that they completely outshine these whom I have just mentioned.

The click of my needles blended strangely with the steady drip of the rain from the eaves, and as my eye wandered from the smoldering fire to the lone goldfish, restlessly darting about in his little home, I began to wonder how it would seem to spend all one's days swim- ming through a tiny castle in a crystal bowl. Suddenly the fish ceased his restless swimming and stared straight at me, at the same time a low, silvery voice mur- mured in an almost indistinguishable undertone. Would you like to know how I became a goldfish ? I remembered that I was not so much surprised by the fact that a goldfish ,was apparently addressing me as I was in- terested in the question itself. Weren't you always a goldfish ? I asked in return. No, said that same murmuring voice which was strongly reminiscent of water lapping against rocks. It is just a year tonight since I became a goldfish, and I am going home now. Would you like to come? Ah, I should love to! I exclaimed, but how- Before I had finished the sentence I found myself in a narrow, dark river, entirely alone save for the goldfish who was swimming beside me. The- rain which had been falling steadily all the time we swam, turned into a heavy mist as we approached a large green island. As soon as we touched the island, we were surrounded by such dazzling colors that I cried aloud. This is just like the rainbow! It is the rainbow, answered the fish who had been silent during. the entire journey. And now will you please go to the top of that hill and see if you can find anyone? At the top of the hill to which my companion had sent me, I found an ex- quisite house built of a gigantic abalone shell, almost hidden by the beautiful sea weed which grew much higher than my head' and completely surrounded the house. Though I wandered through every room and every path in the garden, I could find no living creature, so I re- turned to the cave in which I had left the goldfish. When I confessed my failure to dis- cover anyone, the fish did not seem sur- prised and said in a quiet voice. Now I will tell you the story I prom- ised. One year ago I was living here with my six brothers and sisters, who take care of the rainbow, and I was very happy. Every morning when we had painted our different colors into the rain- bow and covered it securely with cob- webs, we would sit on the sand and color our sea shells. The water was so clear that I could not resist stopping some times to gaze at the reflection of my hair, which was just the color of amber, in the sunshine. One day, while ? '1?'1?l 7ge'?ff aaff:1,7,,,fjQT bv-.Y-.-7 ef,-H.. 'C' ,g 1 1 ,, ,.. Q -wi 32 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. I was sitting on the sand, the sea crept up to me, and asked me if there was anything I desired. I told him I was tired of tinting shells, and would like to spend all my life gazing at the colors in my hair. He agreed to grant my wish, and so I became a goldfish. The only time I am allowed to return home is when it rains, and then there is al- ways no one on the island, for everyone rides into the clouds on the rainbow and do not return till the rain is over. As I finished, I noticed that the bril- liant colors had faded, and, looking about to discover the cause, I found myself, in the rocking chair before the fire. On the table was the goldfish bowl in which the solitary fish swam silently back and forth and outside on the roof could be heard the monotonous drip of the rain.

Clark, '22, N - Elk , f, 54 ep I iN ll X X Hiili THE CADET CORPS The past year has been conspicuously successful in the military annals of West- port. The battalion has acquired a great- er theoretical and practical knowledge of military training than ever before, and, taken individually, each cadet has gained great benefit from the setting-up exer- cises, the snappy drills and the long hikes. Capt. Francis Crawley, U. S. A., has been in charge of the Kansas City high school cadets. Capt. Crawley is largely responsible for the present efficiency of the corps. He has imparted to cadets much of the fine spirit of the regular army, an invaluable asset for any military organization. But the greatest credit be- longs to a man nearer home, Lieutenant Roland C. Kreigh, a former Westporter. Having been in the service during the War, Lieut. Kreigh was peculiarly fitted to train the Westport cadets. The corps has had trials and tribula- tions but it is not necessary to review them here. Let it suffice to say that Lieut. Kreigh, with the aid of the cadet officers, turned out the crack battalion of the regiment. The first of the year was devoted -to learning the rudiments of military train- ing. Each cadet was individually drilled in the school of the soldier, and then squads were formed. In a shoit time the organization of three companies was com- plete. Probably the most important happening was the arrival of new equipment. Each cadet was furnished with the latest model Eddystone rifle. This rifle was thorough- ly tested during the war and its effective- ness is unquestioned. Also, cartridge belts and bayonets were issued to the corps. Each cadet is responsible for the condition of his rifle, and is expected to clean it reg- ularly. During the winter months the battalion received technical instruction from Lieut. Kreigh. Classes were held in the audi- torium and such phases of training as could be worked out theoretically were discussed. The organization of the United States army was extensively studied, along with guard mount and other mili- tary ceremonies. With the coming of spring the battalion was released from its winter's captivity and the out-door work commenced. It did not take long to whip the companies back into shape, and preparation for the com- ing competitive review began in earnest. Lieut. Kreigh and Major Gerbereux de- cided that it was up to Company A of Westport to win the company competition. Accordingly, ,Company A, under Capt. Dryden Hodge, set to work and later Corporals , . ,n. . , , I1 ...w ,.

Many times did Company A stay after school in order to crowd in a little extra drill. But it was worth it, as subsequent events proved, and as a result, the silver trophy for company drill reposes in our trophy case. The trophy, a silver plate, was first won by Co. A of Westport in 1918, but we lost it last year. Then there was the crack squad. This group was -organized for the purpose of drilling before the United Travelers' As- sociation. The squad drilled before sev- eral other Kansas City audiences, and was highly appreciated wherever it went. The Competitive Review There really is not much to be said about the competitive review which was held Tuesday, May 18, at the Parade. Every phase of the competition was a clean sweep for the Westport cadets. Six- teen points out of a possible twenty were awarded to our battalion. The day started with exhibitions by each battalion. Westport's crack squad performed, while Manual cadets enter- tained with a wrestling exhibition. Then came the semaphore signalling contest. Dryden Hodge signalled to Jack Chesney. The message, one hundred eighty letters in Spanish, was transmitted in about two minutes. Chesney and Hodge were easily victorious in this event, the winning of which gave five points to West- port. The wig-wag signalling followed, and in this also were our boys successful. Leland Reeder and Brooks Gosting won, with a score of 98. After this event, the score gave Westport eleven points, while Cen- tral, our nearest competitor, was credited with nine. Central had acquired five of these points in the marksmanship contest, which she won easily. Westport was third in marksmanship. The final event of the day was the com- ,.,.'5K-S -diegga, petitive company drill, which was won by Company A under Captain James Hynd- man. This was the crowning event of the day, and Jimmy was so elated at the vic- tory that he shook hands with every man in the company- , After a regimental review and inspec- tion, the companies were dismissed. Cap- tain Crawley praised the work of the cadets highly. The results of the review were most pleasing, and we can only hope that in years to come the record this year's corps has made will be sustained by Westport. Westport's victory would never have been possible had it not been for the un- tiring efforts of the Major, Vincent Ger- bereux. He worked like a Trojan the whole year, and our success may well be attributed to the determination and re- solve that he instilled in the hearts of his men. .l1..l .

INTER-SCHOLASTIC DEBATING RENEWED The past year saw the revival of the interscholastic debating, and the success of our teams has created in the student body an enthusiasm that will insure vic- tory in years to come. The boys debated the question, Resolved, that the United States should enact a compulsory arbi- tration law covering all disputes involv- ing basic industries. To gain a comprehensive knowledge of the question, an exhaustive study of the industrial problems that confront the Nation was necessary. ' The question was of particular inter- est. The country was in the grip of a gigantic coal strike, and millions of people were asking, What is the ideal relationship between Capital and Labor ? The student body appreciated the im- portance of the issue, as was shown by the large number who tried out for the teams. The affirmative team defeated Man- ual's negative four to one, and our nega- tive humbled its opponents by a score of three to two. The Amherst Cup, coveted trophy of Debate, reposes in our cabinet. That our trophy case may be the cup's final resting place is the sincere hope of every Westporter. At Central At Central our affirmative met and defeated Manual's negative team. Our team was composed of Herschel Cleven- ger, Jerrauld Dissman, George Pratt and Jack Chesney. Herschel Clevenger opened the affirma- tive argument by proving that compul- sory arbitration was necessary, all other methods of industrial settlement having failed. His arguments were clear and con- vincing, and the opposition was unable to refute any of them. Jerrauld Dissman, our second speaker, displayed that fiery eloquence for which he is so well known at Westport. He proved that compulsory arbitration was sound in principle because it insured the greatest good to the greatest number. Jerry's delivery was superb and, coupled with a sound argument, it was irresistible. George Pratt, as the last Westport speaker, explained the affirmative's plan of arbitration. He showed clearly its su- periority over the substitute proposed by the negative. With his poise and mat- ter-of-fact delivery, George added impetus to the sweeping argument of the affirm- ative. The rebuttal was characterized by the Thi' , - 4-225' 1 l s i , ..-12-Y--rv --- 7 rin- f f ' , , . f - . . '-zum. 1, ,IA J The VVinning Teams brilliant speech of Herschel Clevenger, who refuted point after point of the op- position's argument. The decision was not in doubt for a moment. ,The negative team was out- generaled at every turn. Our boys liter- ally debated their way into the hearts of their audience, and it was with re- sounding applause that the Central stud- ents heard the decision of the judges. The three chief participants received valuable aid from Jack Chesney, the al- ternate, in assemblying material and moulding the arguments. At Northeast At Northeast Howard Fisk, speaking first for Westport, began the negative's well organized attack upon compulsory arbitration. Fisk's' dramatic delivery held the attention of his audience while he pounded home point after point, smashing the arguments of the affirma- tive. Fisk was followed by James Darnell, who proved that compulsory arbitration was an experiment doomed to failure if tried in the United States. Jerome Stuart, our last speaker, caused amazement in the camp of the enemy when he put forward the negative's sub- stitute plan, the Kansas Industrial Court. Jerome produced a letter from Governor Allen which stated that the Allen plan was not one of compulsory arbitration. This evidence sounded the death knell of the affirmative's hopes. It only remained for Fisk, Darnell and Stuart to batter down the statements of the opposition, in three powerful, decisive rebuttals. In his rebuttal, Howard Fisk produced two charts, contrasting compulsory arbi- trotion and the Allen industrial court. These charts were prepared by James Reeves, the alternate, who contributed largely to the success of the negative team. We cannot say too much in praise of Jimmy He did his best-for the good of the team. Jimmy was one of those unsung heroes who silently bend every effort toward the common good. After the double victory, the teams re- turned to school, and an impromptu as- Sembly was held. Each debater said a few words and short speeches were made by Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Harman.

Like good sports our girls' debate teams went into the game courageously and confidently, ready to give and take. After weeks of arduous preparation, of read- ing and discriminating study, they met the two teams from Manual on Thurs- day, April 1, and argued the question, Resolved, that European Immigration should be discontinued for a period of twenty years, except for travel and study. The Manual girls relied largely on re- buttal speeches that had been previously prepared and systematically card indexed while our representatives developed their second speeches during the course of the debate and delivered them extemporane- ously. But canned oratory turned the trick and both of Westport's teams came home defeated, yet smiling. At Central Westport's affirmative team met their rivals in the Central auditorium. Eleanor Brown, our first speaker, stated the question and proved that im- migration, except for travel and study, is neither desirable nor necessary. Her argument was lucid and convincing and her delivery was effective. Doris Thompson, the first speaker for the negative, supported her claim that immigration is necessary by references, to bills which are now before Congress... Helen Vanquist, our second speaker, showed thatimmigration is a menace to? American ideals and institutions because it tends to destroy national unity, brings in agitation, and threatens peace and or- der. Nellie Bilderbeck supported the nega- tive by the argument that prohibiting immigration would be a menace to labor. The third speaker for the affirmative, Helen Jesse, proved that less than twenty years exclusion would be ineffectual, as it takes at least that length of time for the proper distribution, education and naturalization of aliens. .. Doris Eisberg attacked the clause ex- cept for travel and study, claiming it to be a loop-hole for immigrants. 40 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. The splendid impression made by our- girls in their rebuttal speeches was due as much to the invaluable work of Lucy Hall, alternate for the affirmative, as it was to the deilvery of the three speak- ers themselves. As last speaker in the debate Eleanor Brown displayed a very superior form of address and held the close attention of her audience. At Northeast The debate in which Westport's nega- tive team encountered Manua1's affirma- tive team at Northeast was started by Lillian Marko'witz, first speaker for the affirmative, who based her argument on the illiteracy of the immigrant. Lucile Richards, our first speaker, proved that existing conditions do not warrant the exclusion of the immigrant and that the mass of immigrants are not undesirable citizens. Lucile showed skill in constructing her speech and delivered 'it'exceedinglywellg She also spoke well in rebuttal. Next year she will add great strength to the team. Lucy Rutt assisted the affirmative by attempting to show the necessity of twenty years to Americanize the foreign- ers already in this country. The affirmative team failed completely to refute any of the challenges hurled at them by Elizabeth Cowan, who pro- posed a superior plan insuring proper distribution of the million immigrants that yearly pass Ellis Island. Hattie Coberly advanced many construc- tive arguments. She mentioned that in view of existing conditions the immigrants should be excluded. Elizabeth Hanawalt, who closed for the affirmative, was the feature of the debate and literally took away the breath of her audience by her clean-cut arguments and forceful delivery, when she proved that a policy of exclusion would be detrimental to the nation. The girls maintained the high stan- dard they had set for themselves, throughout the entire rebuttal and again Betty Hanawalt demonstrated unusual oratorical powers. Alma McG1asson, who filled the important part of alternate, was one of the hardest workers on the team. The advanced classes in domestic sci- 'ence cooked and served a dinner in honor of the debate teams on the evening of April 16. Each member of the teams, both boys' and girls', the two coaches, and Mr. Shouse responded to toasts. Al- ma McGlassen, Ruth Hall, Jimmy Reeves and Miss Bain introduced the speakers. ! . ,.:,.....,....,1, I-52.2-,.i, 'M L-'H -. , -kv.-.-...-.Q Q ..L. .

It is with pride that the Clionian Lit- erary Society looks back over a year of splendid achievement and progress, a year crowned with success in all ventures un- dertaken, and a year enriched by a broad- ened knowledge of American literature. Our conception of a literary society is an organization whose time is devoted to literary research and study. Such are the Clionians. But our ef- forts have not been wholly confined to the austere fields of literature. One of our first acc-omplishments was an extensive advertising campaign. This was successful in the highest degree. While the purpose of the campaign was to increase the Clionian membership, grade standards were strictly observed.

In April came the Clionian-Ro-und Table dance, considered by many the most suc- cessful function ever given by school or- ganizations. The dance was given at the Blue Hills County Club and was attend- ed by the joint membership of the two societies. We have been well represented in all school activities, and feel that we have contributed largely to the success that Westport has this year achieved. To Miss Lilly, our adviser, we give credit for this year's success. She has aided and guided us in our every ven- ture, and the supremacy of the Clioniang is due, in the greater part, to her. 5:6 F1-C155 6T tbT -'Ei Fe-'T PXBII COLORS: Light Blue and Gold MIOTTOZ' Live pure, speak the truth, right ,the wrong, follow the King, else wherefore born OFFICERS FIRST TERM SECOND TERM President . . ..................

June has co-me again, and the Pundits have found this year, like others, all too short for the perfection of their many plans: Much, however, has been accomp- lished. As to social events, We had an Alpha-Pundit-Aristonian tea at t h e Muehlebach and at the end of a perfect year, a very successful dance. Besides, We have devised a plan for making pro- grams more interesting, by which each class-Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior-was given a meeting at which to entertain us. As a result, the most de- lightful and original programs of - the year have been presented. y All this proves that We differ from the dictionary definition of a Pundit, a wise man, only in the fact that We are wise girls.

This is our tenth birthday and we feel we have reason to be proud. Not only has our record been blameless in the past, but the deeds of our alumni and of our active members have filled the halls of Westport fame with glory and honor. Members of the Irving Club have par- ticipated in Dramatics, Athletics, Debate, and in fact, almost every other activity Where a good sound mind and a good sound body are requisites. The Irvings are not extreme types of athletes or grinds, there is a happy medium in all things and that is what the Irving Club strives for. The little gold pin which the Irvings wear stands for fellowship, knowl- edge and ability. . . . . ........ MR. WARD The Irving Club has always sought to promote Westport's interests and to gain an appreciation of literature, modern and ancient. Irvings are back of the school in every step that's taken and will push any project which benefits Westport. Considering the other goal, our course of study this year is enlightening. We have covered all types of the magazine article this year besides the regular course of books. Several new features have been introduced into the Club meet- ings. Next year we will get away to a good start, and then, 'ware the Irving Club. The Secretary. 34 1 V---F,-5 1 , F I 'Pk f' ' ff ' sf-Z -,..,3,.G -' .s w -7.-H :pn J UAF AV . 4 , Y, .V 4u,,,,.,-M.

Last year the departing scribe of the Clay Club, writing of the accomplishments of the club, past and yet to come, made some seemingly dogmatic statements in his prophesies for the success of the so- ciety in the year 1919-1920. But he was a better prophet than he or Westport knew, for today sees every one of his pre- dictions more than fulfilled, for today sees a bigger, better and stronger Clay Club than ever lived before. Under the guidance of Mr. Goodale, the adviser, and the two presidents the club has risen to a position second to none among the socie- ties of Westport. Modest enough-isn't it? No doubt, but all fact, just the same. For the Clays surpass all the chartered societies of West- port in debate, dramatics and literature. For proof we can point to three of West- port's debaters, one, the captain of the in- vincible affirmativeg also to the Clays who GOODALE carried the four leading parts in the Christmas Play and the lead in the Senior Play. The best Army Enlistment Essay was written by a Clay, and the club has been amply and ably represented on the Crier Staff. Nor are the Clays a neg- ligible quantity in athletics, and their scholarship standard is very high. But more than all these things, the qualities which make the Club pre-emin- ent are its originality, pep and push, The Clays are the pioneers, establishing precedents for others to follow. Such a precedent was established by our dance in the school gym. On this delightful oc- casion, the night of May 7, the club made its last bow of the year before the school. So now we look forward to next year, when thirty of our forty members will be back to carry on for the Clay Club and Westport.

Hikes are not all that have featured our year's work, for We have boosted Westport in almost every Way imaginable. Not only in athletics and debate, but also in practically every student activity has the History Club maintained its high standard of former years. We have kept closely in touch with every undertaking of note and backed it to the best of our ability. What is more, History Club men have often lead in addition to supporting. It is our boast that every member of the football team is on our rolls and that we are strong on the track team. The fact that every basket ball man, three debat- ers, and five members of the Crier staff are included among our numbers is also worthy of mention. In short, we sin- cerely believe that our club has contrib- uted in large measure to whatever suc- cess Westport may have achieved during the past year. In addition to its many regular hikes the Club had a dance this year, Which, as Coach Edwards says, was one of the finest student affairs we have ever seen. We should thank Mr. George Edwards and Mr. R. V. Harman, two of the finest ad- visers a club could claim, for our Wonder- ful success. The Secretary. ' T' ' -f --- Q1 ..'-x-,4...i.s.1f---A' ,,.. ',-.

P. furnished its share of the excitement in the All School Mixer, for Prof. Noah Lott and his as- sistants were the demonstrators of won- derful scientific discoveries. One of the annual features was the nature study hike and weinie roast which is always greatly enjoyed. The success of our club has been large- ly due to our advisers, Miss Henry and Miss Van Neman. . .,,,.. A9514-.1-E ,- . . , J 'V --.. - --. ....-.:.Q..f- .,..- '.-...., vu. ' Y- ..

Hale The Westport Junior Engineers A new club was organized in Westport this year for boys interested in the me- chanical arts of the school. Mr. Guis- inger and Mr. Hale had thought for some time that a club of this kind was needed, so in October, 1919, an organization was effected. The club has been divided into three divisions so that the boys most interest- ed in one subject may study apart from the others. The divisions are: Wireless, motors, and model aeroplanes. During the year the club has had some very in- teresting lectures on such subjects as vacuum tubes, storage batteries and mod- els. These talks have been very helpful. D. T. Patterson, Sec.

Although we did not quite attain 'our highest ambitions, the year has been one of learning and enjoyment for Westport's followers of Apollo.

LYLE The year is over and now We can look back on it with a feeling somewhat akin to pride. This year has probably been the greatest in.thehistory of the High School Club. Instead of holding joint meetings of all four high schools at the Y. M. C. A. each high school has had a separate club this year and the weekly meetings have been held in the neighbor- ing churches. A cabinet, consisting of the officers of the club and such others as the officers choose, is directing all ac- tivities. Ticket sales have been far in excess of anything ever thought of un- der the old plan. The attendance at the Westport High School Club alone is greater than the average attendance of all four high schools last year. This Treasurer . . ...................... M. V. LYLE shows in some measure the growth of the club. We, the members of the club, feel that this growth is due in large measure to the high purpose and motive of the or- ganization, especially to the untiring ef- forts of Mr. Harlan Russell, our adviser from the Y. M. C. A. The work of the officers and cabinet must not be forgot- ten either. James Stewart and Jack Haas were two of the best presidents the club ever had and thanks are due them. Next year we hope to grow still more and to include in our numbers every boy who desires to be a real Westporter and who will work for the club. If next year is as successful as this year we can hope for and look forward to the greatest year of the Westport High School Club.

We feel, too, that through our service department We have accomplished many things of lasting value.

The meetings this year have been inter- esting and of great variety, and our social activities particularly successful. We opened the year with the jolly Freshmen party and closed with our annual banquet given in the cafeteria of the Y. W. C. A., made mystic by the light of many candles. The Girls' High School Clubs of Kansas City have been unusually fortunate this year in having Miss Helen Price, secre- tary of the Y. W. C. A., as our supervisor. The second factor in our success has been the splendid organization left us by Miss Humfeld, our adviser, who was forced to resign on account of ill health. Her loss has been deeply felt by the club. ,, ..-...gi 9'-Sl.-1-L1-,lm Q V W f -1 --Q1,L--...-..u...u..A. ..,- ' 3:-'f ' A N Q .A 'E 2 E DSSE a efV vwwr.,fm2'-n:,1O'D WM' avmfnwzxkimiw '32 vmS22E :D HAHhmoE-- gllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlllIllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIllIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILJ E cRoss EIIlllllllllllllllllIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIllIlIIIIlllllllllllllillllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIIIllilllIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll President . .

The course, which deals With public sanitation as Well as home hygiene, in- cluded a series of fifteen lectures and three practical demonstrations in the use of home appliances. Among the things taught is the care of babies, diet for the IIllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE . . . . .ALLINE HOEFER . . . . .MRs.

The interest shown in the Red Cross class this year was very great in spite of the fact that it was organized so 'late in the year. Twenty-nine girls passed their examinations and successfully com- pleted the Work. The Red Cross course is one well Worth while, for besides teaching just the things that will make better women of tomorrow out of the girls -of today, it is interesting and enjoyable.

The throngs of enthusi- astic, delighted Westporters who watch- ed the brilliant performances of our team in game after game last fall experienced such thrills as only football can furnish and for them the triumph of the Gold and Blue in the final game marked the end of a perfect season. The winning of the championship was highly gratifying, of course, but the fact that football undeniably came back into its own again in Kansas City was a fact of 'even greater importance. In the opinion of rooters and strategists alike, the season was gloriously successful and in consequence the king of sports is Def' manently reestablished on the program of interscholastic athletics. Coach Edwards moulded a team that many colleges might well be proud of and the members of the squad unanimously agree that his skill and untiring eff0F'GS were the chief factors in gaining the championship. Great credit is also due Harlan Russell, a veteran D19fY.e1' ffffm the University of Kansas, who toiled Wlth the coach in training and developlllg the team. As to material, Coach faced a better situation than some of the other schools last September. He had six letter men to start with while Central and Manual had virtually none. Northeast began the season with eight o-r nine former players. Among the most promising among the Gold and Blue candidates were Captain Haas and Martin Lyle. The former made a name for himself last year in the Westport-Central game so he was re- elected without opposition. Lyle was al- ways a hard player when he was a Soph- omore and he delivered the goods even more acceptably as a Junior. , We were especially fortunate in being able to complete the 'entire schedule of six games. In 1918, the flu cut the season to only one round and the enthus- iasm was naturally lessened. This year, however, the games were played every Saturday without a single interruption, starting October 18 and continuing un- til November 22. No other arrangement could have worked more to the advantage of West- port than the order of games provided by the schedule. Our team faced Northeast in the opening contest. In every respect the Purple players had the best of us, with splendid material to pick from, ex- perienced letter men and the powerful backing of the best sporting editors in 70 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. the city. Possessing such assets it's no wonder that Northeast went into the game confident of victory, and our boys had no easy task in demonstrating their superiority. Northeast had a better developed line and their backs were able to gain ten first downs to our six. Our line was pounded terrifically and at times it look- ed as though the plunging Nor'easters would break through for long gains. Our resistance stiffened in the third quarter and when the whistle blew the game was ours. Northeast scored nine points on a touchdown and a safety while we had twenty-six counters to our credit. Three times Haas shoved the pigskin over and Lyle carried it across once. In the second game, Manual confronted our team. Twenty-one to nothing, that's all. The third number was a sad affair. We met Central and fought a scoreless game. Looking back after a lapse of six months Westport's failure to cross the goal .does not seem such a calamity as it appeared at the time, for the sporting blood in every school was unquestionably aroused to a higher pitch than if we had smashed the wearers of the Blue and White. Our worthy opponents saw that we were not invincible and took courage, while our own team buckled down to strenuous, relentless practice in their de- termination to clean up in succeeding games. The second round brought Westport against Northeast again. This game was notable chiefly because it demonstrated that our team was not a one man out- fit as certain critics had charged. Haas still felt the effects of an injury received the previous Saturday and Coach kept him on the sidelines until the last part of the last quarter when the game was already ours. HoXie's entrance helped to boost the score by some twelve points, however, The game ended, Westport 19, Northeast O. The football championship was won in the fifth game of the series, against Manual. The Crimson aggregation was out for a clean up and they nearly got it several times, due to our costly fum- bles. Such errors were about equally divided between the two teams, so no complaint can be made about our boys. The game was waged furiously back and forth across the field with no positive outcome indicated until the last quarter when Captain Hass performed one of his grandstand plays. He intercepted a forward pass and, with the aid of per- fect interference, ran sixty-five yards to a touchdown. This cinched the game, but to prove the superiority of our team Wilkins went across the goal line for a second touchdown and raised the score to fourteen for Westport. Manual failed to register. The final struggle was full of thrills and chills, as Central seemed as strong as in the game three weeks previous. No counters were made until the third quarter, when Lyle carried the ball over for our lone touchdown, This was enough to win the game, though, and thus the season of 1920 came to an end. One other matter should be mentioned before going on to discuss each member of the team, and that is our outside game. .Through the coach's influence each high school team was allowed to playtone game anywhere within a radius of fifty miles from Kansas City. We chose Kansas City, Kansas, High School and won, 10.to O. The coach of the Kansas team was formerly a pupil of Mr, Edwards' and the two teams followed very much the same style of playing, it EiZ2'SAZf2d'2Ef5T! 5 ':LBa5E'5S'Q 220v3'E1?E2'E?fd 'E2k4.22S2.2T52:4 llg 5 v Ly.

He is an ideal football player, brainy, strong, ca- pable, unafraid, responsible, and clean. He is planning to go to Yale. We wish him luck and best wishes. Someday we'l1 hear of Haas, the champion of the East, and be especially proud to remark that he graduated in the class of '20, dard of football set by their more skill- ful brethren. They were undefeated during their season of six games. Bob Woods and Lorne Buchner were their stars and we shall be proud of these two next fall. WINNERS Martin Lyle, Captain-E-lect, '21, Half- back If playing records had anything to do with this arrangement of players, M. V., would have been up in the first space next to Jack, as he surely did wonderful work for Westport this year. After the Central-Westport game he was chosen captain for next fall by a unanimous vote. We'1l wager ten to one that Lyle makes a second Jack Haas in skill, keenness, and management. l per job pla ene Jin tou tea the Mo the pili fee wa jus pei on4 ter at luc the ga Th lin an bu an an fri in qu he p11 crf of pl: he wz iv ,, A If-v-.

' i ' Monroe Kleinsteuber, '20, End en You think of a thoroughly de- pendable fellow, who is always on the job, who can always be in one more play and go into that play with 3,11 his energy, you have a mental picture of Jimmy. Jimmy kicked more goals after touchdowns than all the other three teams combined and his kickoffs were of the kind that put a heart into the team. More than once his kicks sailed back to the other goal posts with the Whole team piling along behind. Jimmy was also featured in a number of spectacular for- ward passes and when the Tiger needed just a few yards to win, the old pe- pendable was callel back to do it While one of the backfield dubs would at- tempt to fill his place. Stew will star at Missouri next year, so the best of luck with him, and may he always have the support that he had here.. Lynn Wetzel, '20, Tackle A Salty says football is a brutal game but, oh my, how he takes to it! There was no steadier player on the line than this blonde youngster. We are sorry to see him go from our portals but Dame Fortune again levels her hand and Westport loses a foremost althlete and comedian. Salty gained many friends and was a great help to Coach in molding a team. ..-.....-1- Arthur Dods, '23, Guard Old Man Dods left the school as quietly as he came, but thank goodness, he came just in the nick of time. He plugged up a hole in the line in a Very creditable way and figured high On the offense. Dods was a soldier boy and played football in France. We 110199 he'll be as successful in business as he was in pigskin work. KleinY showed more pep and fight while in play than all the other ten players. He was not in all of the games but did remarkably Well in several in- stances. Monroe was very speedy and gave the fleet half-backs of other teams a merry chase if they started around his end. He was a deadly tackler- and charger. -71... James Hyndman, '20, Half-back Jimmy, our miniature man, played a splendid game at his half. He is an awfully hard worker and deserves a great deal of credit. He was next to the smallest man on the team, yet often showed up the larger boys in his inter- ference, running and tackling. Jimmy should have no fear of not becoming a good football player at college. .qiti Verne Wilkins, '20, Half-back Verne played any place Coach saw fit to place him and filled the place well. We are sure of his success at football all during the years to come and hope he takes up the game at the college he intends to enter. Chester Cooksey, '20 End. Another member of this year's class, and an exceptionally fine player was Chet, He was given a smashing as end and made good. He did not play all the time, as Coach had several good men for this position and likewise had to equalize the honors. This was Chetter's second year on the first team and we re- gret his leaving. Marshall Pardee, '21, Center 0mar, that fighting, blood-thirsty center, will always leave an image in the minds of all who saw his performances. 74 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. He never gives up, is awfully hard to stop, but 'easy to get started. His weight and build aid him considerably in his play, and there is no doubt of Omar's success ,in football next fall. 1.11.1- 4 Herbert Darnell, '21, End Herby the ox. Always playing a clean, steady game and talking and cheer- ing his fellow workers on to victory, Herby missed very few minutes of play. What he missed, we missed also, as it does one good to see a player so interested in his work. Darnell leaves Westport this year for an Eastern city. We hate to lose him. i.1.-1-- Harold Miles, '21, End Pants was the smallest man in high school football this year. Isn't that some record? Pants came to Westport from Texas. New to the school, but old to his teammates, as he formerly lived in this district, Coach has one good lineman in this little fellow. ...vi-1 William Gabrielson, '21, End Billy gave us many thrills in his playing as you all may recall. He is another little fellow that made so many big birds look sick after he had tackled them. He hit very hard and played very steadily. After taking a West Point examination he left school and went to work. Here's hoping he returns next fall. William Anthony, '22, Guard Last but hardly least, comes plowing Bill Anthony. He's just a Sophomore and has the distinction of being the only class letter man. He has a big future before him and we hope he does not neglect to use all the experience afforded him in football and other athletics. i SPRING The flowers spring up in the valley, From afar the wild bird calls, The pupils come to Westport Arrayed in overalls. ,,...l.ll i.

After our dazzling foot- ball performance during the fall we made a sudden and startling descent to a position uncomfortably close to the tail-enders of the league. Our failure seems to have been due to a poor start. If the season could have been extended a couple of weeks longer our team would have been a formidable competitor for the championship, for after the first three games it developed remarkably in speed, accuracy and staying qualities. Everyone who witnessed the second game with Northeast can testify that there was nothing wrong with the team which defeated the state champions on that oc- casion. We all know that Dame Fortune is notoriously fickle, especially in the way she distributes honors in athletics, and with true sportsmanship we yield to her decree without complaint, yet with a determination to come back irresist- ibly next winter. With two letter men returning, Westport can 100k forward confidently to the season of 1921. First Game, Westport 323 Central 18 Our first game with Central Was 3 walk-a-way in favor of WestD0I't- The only time when Central was in the lead was during the first of the game when she caged a free-throw and a field goal. After this the Tigers not only held but increased their lead over the Centralites. The first half ended, 13 to 10, in our favor, just enough to make the second half interesting. In the second half, the boys rushed out with new vim and vigor and literally cleaned up. When the final pistol shot rang out the big score board in Convention Hall read, Westport 32, Central 10, 1-1.1. Second Game, Northeast 32 3 Westport 19 The second game was a complete sur- prise to all the W estporters who had wit- nessed the previous game. Our boys seemed to lack the pep and vim that had characterized their playing in the former contest. Our floor work far surpassed that of Northeast, but, when it came to shooting, the Purple had all the luck. Our crowd also was very ap- athetic and failed to give the support that the team needed. After our smash- ing victory the week before, it was hard to accept defeat, but later we got sweet revenge by keeping Northeast from a clean record. 76 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Third Game, Manual 35, Westport 24 At the end of the first half of the season Westport occupied a position dangerously near the cellar. After our defeat by Northeast, to be defeated by Manual was indeed depressing. Our boys showed up well in passing and floor work, but somehow the ball frequently failed to fit the opening of the basket. Westport started in like a lion, scoring two free-throws and a field goal in rapid succession. The trouble occured during the second and third quarters. In the last quarter, our boys did some splendid playing, scoring ten points to Manual's six, but, alas, the timekeeper fired his gun too soon and the game ended, Manual 35, Westport 24. Fourth Game, Westport 33, Central 15 All the pent-up fighting spirit and pep which was held back in the two former games seemed let loose on Central in our second game with Central. With a shifted formation the team cleaned up everything before them. Central, in a vain hope of victory, used ten men in the game but all were of no avail before the enraged Tigers. To begin the game, Haas dropped in a beauty from near the center of the court and Wilkins tossed in three before Central got started. The first quarter ended, Westport 13, Central 4. All through the game our boys led and when the last quarter ended, the Central section was almost deserted. Central's fifteen points was the smallest score of the season, which speaks well for our guards. They were always on the alert and should be given much credit for the victory. Fifth Game, Westport 30, Northeast 10 It was one of those times when the home team was playing the league lead- ers, and the aforesaid league leaders had never been defeated. Added to this, the night was not so pleasant and the hall was hot and crowded, and we have little hoped for victory and then, when we walloped Northeast, oh, boy, wasn't it a grand and glorious feelin'. Breathes there a student with soul so dead that he didn't speak in hoarse tones for a week afterward? Never once did North- east even equal us! The five big reaf- sons why we won are: Salty Wetzel, M. V. Lyle, Verne Wilkins, Lorne Buch- ner, and Jack Haas. How could North- east expect to defeat a team of stars? Wetzel and Lyle, as forwards, made life a nightmare for the Northeast guards, while Haas and Buchner formed such at- tachments for the Purple forwards that those Nor'easters could scarcely find a. chance to shoot, and Wilkins was in the center of every play. The first quarter of the game saw some pretty playing and ended 7 to 4 in our favor. In the second quarter both teams scored seven points, bringing the score to 14 to 11. Then came the lucky third quarter. In the start, Northeast caged a field goal, leaving us in the lead by one point. Then our forwards got busy and the quarter ended with our boys at the long end of a 28 to 15 score. In the last quarter, Westport played a defensive game, and it ended, Westport 30, Northeast 18. During this quarter, Captain DeHoney struck Salty in the face and was removed for slugging. Wetzel showed his true sportsmanship by not striking back. If he had, we might have lost the game. -T-.....

The Gold and Blue missed a victory and second place, The first quarter ended, 7 to 4 in Man- ual's favor, however, Westport came back in the next quarter and ended the half on the better end of a 12 to 10 score. In the two following quarters, Manual held the lead and emerged triumphant. Our boys were running the score up in the last of the fourth quarter but tempus fugit, and the time-keeper ended our hopes for the game. Salty Wetzel Salty proved one of the finest for- wards who has ever played on a West- port team and one of the finest in the city. His teamwork, his passing and his phenomenal shooting would be a great asset to any team. Salty was a new man this year, but he certainly was a lucky find, In that memorable game with Northeast, Salty was at his best and was clearly the star of the game. He caged nine goals and two free-throws, or two more points than the entire Northeast team scored. Salty gradu- ates this year, but, wherever he goes he will be known as a corking basket ball player. Joe Reicher, Captain Joe Reicher, our captain and guard, certainly deserves a great deal of credlt for the development of our team, and f01' his own splendid playing- Joe Was one of the best guards in the city 9111? Was really a terror to our OPPOHGMS for' wards. He not only held down the score of the other teama but Oftsnasggg jaunts into our own territory an to our score. A man must not only be a good player to be a successful captain but he also must be a good leader. Joe certainly filled this requirement, for he kept the players in good humor and filled them with pep and enthusiasm. We are graduating Joe this year, but where- ever he goes his reputation as a basket ball player is made. ii.-i. Verne Wilkins Verne Wilkins held down the position of center on our team this year and was a wonderful success. This was his sec- ond year in this position and he fulfilled all expectations. He was an extremely useful player, both in offense and de- fense, in all six games. He plays a beautiful offense game and is just as good at guarding. Verne graduates this year, and we are certainly very sorry to lose a basket ball player of his ability. -iii... J ack Haas The game of basket ball does not con- sist only of scoring points. Keeping down the opponent's score is an impor- tant factor. It is in this branch of the game that Jack Haas stars. He is one of the fairest and squarest guards in the city and was always feared and respect- ed by his opponents. In the game with Northeast Jack kept Darrough, one of the finest forwards in the league, to three goals. When Jack leaves we shall lose one of the most versatile athletes that has ever attended Westport. In ad- dition to being such a fine basket ball player Jack has been captain of the foot ball team two years and a sure point win- ner in track. Wherever Jack goes he will be known as an athlete of sterling quality. 1 :A . 1 V, ..-- ' t A QWXN 'NNXX .. X X X X XSXX K . X K X X X -X X. . - X x 1 X XYXXXX XXXS-XXX' .

V. is one of the smallest basket ball players in Kansas City but anyone who has Watched him play can testify to his ability as a forward and as an all-around player of the highest quality. He is not a sensational player, but he plays a clean, steady game, making him a very valu- able asset to our team. Lyle is a Junior and has one more year to play for Westport. He also shows up marvelously well in foot ball and was elected next year's captain. Westport's athletic hopes will be g1'02l'C1Y S'C1'9Hgth' ened by his return next year. Lorne Buchner r Lorne was a find this year, and, though he was well known by his foot ball achievements, he had never played bas- ket ball to any great extent before. He started in the season as a sub but coach decided that he was needed on the first team. He played a clean guarding game and greatly helped to reduce our opponent's hope of scoring. Lorne is one of the two Juniors on the team and will be back next year, and by his return our hopes for the championship will be great- ly strengthened. P-. , . ,rg - ., W 'fpqiw V--'-r-'anllsrl'- ' S ' Second Team In order to have a good first team, a second team is a prime necessity. Often players are found in the second team who otherwise would remain undiscovered. The second team also is a great help to- ward developing efficiency in the first team. However, far more important than these reasons, is the fact that the second team forms a basis for selecting the next year's first team. Our second team contains only one senior, so with all the others returning next year our pros- pects are bright. iOur second team has shared in the first team's hard luck. In almost every game they surpassed their opponents in floorwork and passing, but they didn't have the luck when it came to shooting. Our first game against Central gave Central a victory. We next encountered Northeast and won our only victory of the regular season. Our boys played splendidly and the game ended, West- port 17 5 Northeast 8. In the third game our boys led until the last part of the game when a spurt by Manual won the game for them. Our next game with the Blue and White was very close, ending with Central the victor by three points. In our second game with Northeast, the Purple gained revenge, defeating us 33 to 11. Our last game with Manual ended a de- feat, leaving us the tail-enders. The second team played one outside game against Argentine, which they won, 28 to 24. The second team players were: Brewster, forward Stotts, forward Silver, forward Kearney, center Ford, center Woods, guard Pilley, guard Pugh, guard - Usb-f - 1'3 '9 -gs..-Jtif' tj'- -.Qian-mme ,,,.,j.1- VY . -my -- A . ., -- ' , ' ' ' ' M4-...Q-eu ,I c 1 ,.,.

Interclass Basket Ball What was said in regard and to the use and helpfulness of the second team may also be said of the inter-class teams. A try-out is held, and the players are pick- ed according to their merit. These games give the coach a good chance to get a line on the men of the first and second teams. The teams are divided in two classes, A, all players weighing over 125 pounds, and, B, all players under 125 pounds. Each class enters one team in class A and one in class B and each team plays a series of three games. The Seniors 'ended victors in class A, having won all three games. This team has won the championship two succes- sive years, as last year's Junior team was composed of many of the members of 81 this year's Senior team. However, they made a poor showing in Class B, taking third place. The Junior team won the championship in class B, and the Fresh- men took second place. The final results: Teams Senior . . Junior . .

To be frank, it was a disappointment. We are not crying over our losses, for we ex- pect to meet defeat as well as victory, we aren't cooking up any alibi, for we don't need any Q we aren't blaming it on the track team, they did more than their share, Coach Edwards Worked hard with everyone, it was not his fault, the fellows didn't come out for track, it was their fault. The track team worked, and worked hard for Westport, but there should have been twice as many candidates. During the track seas-on Coach said, Whatever success Westport has in track this year depends on the efforts of a small bunch of over-enthusiastic fellows. Has the splendid interest shown in other athletics waned? Was it over-confidence? Has spring turned our thoughts in other di- rections and taken the pep out of track? Whatever the answer to these questions may be, let us hope that you, gentle read- er, may help make Victory the one big answer next year. It's easy enough to say I can't run, or I haven't time, or Me in track ? but it's a lot harder to get out and grind up the cinders. A fifth of a second is an hour in track, as one of our fellows ex- pressed it. Coach can show you what to do with a fifth of a second if you'll' give him the chance. Let's give three cheers for the over- enthusiasm of our track boys and prom- ise them-well, you know what, for next year. K. C. A. C. Meet The K. C. A. C. Indoor Track Meet held March 14 was the first of the season. Al- though Westport lost, our defeat was by no means disastrous. Our boys showed lots of pep and considering that we had hardly completed the basket ball season and that our boys were not in the best of form the result was not to be wondered at. Es Kearney pulled a big surprise for everybody except Westporters when he ran away from Lott in the 50-yard dash. Through hard luck Westport came in sec- ond, Central winning by a small margin. Manual was third and Northeast last. M. U.-K. U. Indoor Meet The annual dual meet of Kansas and Missouri was held in Convention Hall the night of March 26.

Norton scored 19 of the 25 points, which placed Manual second. Westport was third with 16 and Central tied Valley Falls for fourth with 14. In spite of the brisk wind and steady drizzle Es Kearney and Stewart, Valley Falls' star performer, tied the mark 126:45 set by Evans of Osage in the 50- yard dash. Gallagher of the Aggies is rated one of the valley's greatest hurdlers, but that afternoon Kearney equaled his mark for the 220-yard hurdles made in the morning. It was in this race that Kearney upset the dope by defeating Dobson of Winfield. While mentioning individual stars we must not forget the fellows who, even with seconds and thirds, did their share toward giving Westport her 16 points. It is not always that a school is fortunate enough to develop an individual star. In fact, we cannot place any hopes of victory on the performance of one or two men. It is the united we stand idea that places a school high on the score board. There are many possible alibis for hav- ing lost this meet, as others, but we rather pride ourselves on being good sports and swallowing our defeat in this meet. ii Missouri Invitation . Meet After having taken a third in both the K. C. A. C. and M. U.-K. U. meets Manual stepped up and captured first in the Mis- souri Invitation Meet at Columbia, May 8. It does not in the least detract from the glory of Westport to congratulate Manual on the star they have in Emerson Norton. Norton smashed Missouri high jump rec- ords with an official taped height of 6 feet and JA inch. However much we may think of Norton We must slap ourselves on the back a little harder when we gaze upon our own versa- tile athlete, Esmond Kearney. This dash- ing young chap was high point man next to Norton. With two firsts and as many seconds from this boy it is surprising that Westport fell into third place. Our only other seconds were made by Waddell in the 120-yard high hurdles and by Pants Miles, who tied a Webster Groves man in the pole vault. The affair was rather remarkable for the fact that Webster Groves was defeat- ed by three of the Kansas City high schools. Webster Groves had won this meet for the last three years. Manual won the meet with 3614 points, but the victory was by no means an easy one. Central nosed us out with 282 points, leaving Westport an easy third with 2516. Inter-Class Meet In the Inter-Class Meet men from all four classes, A, B, C and D, were allowed to compete. In addition to stirring up in- terest in track this meet gave our ath- letes some splendid training.

As this meet was of comparatively little importance there is not much to be said. It did furnish a line on the Quad and served to show our smaller boys what they are capable of when they have real com- petitors. The Quad Saturday, May 22, was the date of the annual Quadrangular Field and Track Meet of the four K. C. Highs. The Quad is generally considered the crowning event of our track season. Although Westport lost, it was no easy victory for Central and Northeast. hurdles in class B. Sleepy Harrington did some tall stepping in the dashes. Although we came away with individual honors the meet went to Central. This simply shows we need a bigger track team for next year.

The newly inaugurated W, of course, is largely responsible for this. It has not been a spectacular year, per- haps, but the genuine enthusiasm and in- terest displayed by the girls themselves, and the unusually large attendance and number of participants have indeed spelled success. The ideal of girls' athletics is to give training to as many girls as possible, in- stead of fostering the professional spirit which is produced when individual stars are developed for inter-scholastic contests. When from seventy-five to eighty girls turned out for each of the initial practices of the three major sports the athletic de- partment can truly say that this year has been the stepping stone to a larger and greater success in the future. Athletics, besides being the jolliest and most enjoyable of all pursuits open to Westport girls, is also one of the most broadening. Thus, more and more the athletic girl is becoming the Worth While girl at Westport. She is found in every school activity, and from actual data it was found that her standard of scholar- ship is much higher than the average ef the student body. It is the athletic 2-'lfl who has learned to win the vict0I'1eS Of life graciously, and to with a smile. meet its defeats Tennis Tennis is the only inter-scholastic sport for girls. Westport's girls have always been far more successful in this sport than the boys, but if there was any remaining doubt as to the ability of the fair sex to conduct themselves properly in inter- scholastic contests, it was dispelled this year. Genevieve Pierce, in the singles, 'easily routed all of her opponents, and ended by defeating Enid Fidelli of Central in straight sets. Our two double teams were even more successful, for both emerged victorious from the preliminaries and were obliged to play in the finals against each other for the title. After a close contest Martha Williams-on and Elizabeth Forrester triumphed over Louise Allen and Bess Turner. Our mixed doubles were not quite so fortunate, and Lela Jesse and John Wor- nall were defeated in the finals by Tom Miller and Norma Miller of Northeast. The interest in tennis this year has been very great, and Miss Bradley has done all in her power to increase it. This year, for the first time, the experiment of including tennis in the gymnasium classes was tried. Although it is a little too soon for accurate prophecy it will undoubtedly increase the interest and proficiency of the girls. At present tennis prospects for next fall look quite promising.

T Girls' Tennis Team Williamson, who defeated Genevieve Pierce last fall in a school t-ournament in the singles, and several others in the doubles, Westport ought to repeat the victories of this year. Hockey Hockey, one of the most interesting of girls' sports, opened most auspiciously with a record attendance, and an unpre- cedented display of class spirit. Some of the teams even secured mascots, and the Juniors, of Bolshevistic tendencies UD, blossomed forth in red middies, red ties about their heads, and green socks! The season was particularly interesting, Junior-Senior game, instead of resulting Qin the predicted Junior Walk-away, turned out to be a tie, as did the Sophomore- Freshmen contest. The Juniors and Sen- iors easily defeated the Freshmen, but the Junior-Sophomore match resulted in an- other unsatisfactory but interesting tie. The final standing of the teams was as follows: NVon Tied Lost Pct Seniors . . . .... 2 1 0 1000 Juniors . . ...1 2 0 1000 Sophomores . . ...... 0 2 1 000 Freshmen . . ........ 0 1 2 000 The following girls were members of the four squads: SENIORS: Irene Hess, captain: Virginia Smith, Helen Decker, Hazel Munden, Ola Moon, Virgie Bucher, Helen Lock, Ruth E.

Basket Ball This year, as formerly, basket ball proved to be the most popular of girls' sports, partly, perhaps, because it is so difficult to gain admission to the squads. an-3-: Q' ,, kli..u.,taQ'k ing scc Th wh qu Sei the Du Se: gii bu fin J ui Ser Soi Fre I Sl Hes Buc Ola Jl Wil' Jael Chit shor ' ' nm!! , T' ' V .. .. .,.,. ,QQ - ,,.-- ,A 3- r ...g-n.g.u-'w ' ..-...Mew , , g . ,A RN., N s .- I A.- rig: f I' .

The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen, while both the Juniors and Seniors con- quered the Sophs. In the final Junior- Senior match it was thought by all that the strong Senior team would triumph.

Baseball With the opening of the baseball season came greater enthusiasm than has yet been exhibited for that alluring sport. At the very beginning, premature prophets declared that the title would probably rest between the strong Sopho- more and Junior teams, and perhaps in an interesting pitching match between Ger- trude Mattenlee of the Sophomores and Marty Williamson, Junior star. Fate, however, in the shape of a sprained ankle, kept Martha Williamson from entering the last games, so the Sophomores ran away with the title, and the Freshmen easily de- feated the weak Senior team, as well as 4 l Girls' Base Ball Team the Juniors, so the final standings result- ed as follows: Won Lost Pct Sophomores . . .... 3 0 1000 Freshmen . . .... 2 1 666 Juniors . . . .... 1 2 333 Seniors . . ................ 0 3 000 The following were the girls who made the squads: SENIORS: Ola Moon, captain: Virginia Smith, Helen Lock, Ruth Butin, Elizabeth Emmert, Virgie Bucher, Geraldine Jewell, Margaret Foley, Peggy Moore.

The standards of girls' athletics here at Westport were certainly elevated with the adoption of the W, This is partly due, of course, to the fact that successful candidates must fulfill certain difficult re- quirements of scholarship as well as ath- letic attainment. The following four requirements must be met before a girl is eligible to receive a W : 1. Excellent in athletic performance. 2. Show good sportsmanship and team spirit. 3. Carry an average of M grades with no F's both during the term in which the W is won and the preceding term. 4. Be present at at least three-fourths of the practice periods. The following are the W winners in the four sports: HOCKEY:. Elizabeth Ernmert, Marjorie Powell, Alice Hafer, Harriet Chittenden, Caroline Robertson. BASKETBALL: Winifred Moore, Elizabeth Dietrich. Virginia Jackson. Lula Canada, Helen Decker. Peggy Moore. Ruth Butin, Hazel Munden. BASEBALL: Nona Joyce, Margaret Dale, Dorothy Block. Grace Phillips. Vivian Law.

Could other words ex- press our love and delight at the fond memories of what she has done, and the strength she has shown? The class of '20 has developed some- thing far greater than monuments, and as wonderful as the stars, a subtle thing, yet a tremendous power. Something for our younger and less experienced breth- ren to ponder on, something to carry for- ward! And that thing is-the old West- port spirit. That unquenchable spirit has added a new meaning to Esse Quam Videri. Away back in nineteen-nineteen we showed the stuff of which we were made, and everybody knew that '20 was des- tined to rise to heights that would leave no doubt as to her future success. And these prognostications have been realized in our leadership in all the school activi- ties. Led by that elusive line-Wrecker, Cap- tain Jack Haas, and seven other huskies of '20, our foot ball team swept all before it, and when the dust of battle had set- In A 5 is tled, the Tiger sat licking his chops-his prey entirely devoured. In basket ball four Seniors, including the captain, Joe Reicher, caiwied Westport's colors through a very successful season. And the Seniors, with the redoubtable Es- monde Kearney at their head, were the very backbone of the track team. But we did not shine in athletics alone. Eleven of the sixteen debaters were Sen- iors, and in dramatics we again starred. The underclassmen can claim but four members of the Christmas Play cast. Artists, authors, musicians-all have done their share in making this class what it is. And now as we bid goodbye to old Westport we extend our best wishes to the Senior Class of '21. May they con- tinue to grow, and when the responsi- bility of the school rests with them, may they meet it as we have, with all the per- sistence and pep they can command, and carry the old Gold and Blue to the high- est realms of Fame and Honor.

'Twas the Class of '21, guided by a desire for knowledge that Would not be denied. Early in its ascent to fame did the Class of '21 prove its brilliancy, early did it prove its superiority over all other classes. And now the Juniors have passed the third milestone on the road to gradua- tion. Some have fallen by the wayside, but ever the mass has forged onward. One more short year and the Class of '21 will pass out from Westport and enter that greatest of all institutions, the School of Life. May they there achieve the same phenomenal success that has rewarded their efforts at Westport. May they perpetuate that desire and inspira- tion that has carried them through these years of school life. It is with pardonable pride that We point to the achievements of the Junior Class. Five Junior boys and three Jun- ior girls wear the most coveted of all trophies, the golden W of Debatej Basket ball, foot ball and track have all been augmented from the ranks of the- Junior Class. Let future Westporters remember the Juniors and let them gaze with reverence upon the achievements of that greatest of classes, the Class of 1921. - I ul, ' I I W 5' I , W n M, , f f ' f lr.

In company with Leonard Smith, Don was returning at night to a camp near Swope Park. To shorten the distance they started to cross a melon patch. The owner, suspecting them to be thieves, fired twice with a shot gun. Both charges struck Abercrombie, who died within an hour. While at Westport Don Abbie was known especially for his clever cartoons, many of which have appeared in the Crier and Herald. -1.-11 Cadet Edward J. Titus, '18, is now a cadet at Annapolis. He stood thirty- fourth in a class of four hundred. When the Big Sisters, an M. U. organiz- ation, held an election early in the year, a Westport girl was chosen for every office. Maxine Christopher was elected presi- dent, Ann Elizabeth Hill, vice-president, and Aline Smith, secretary and treasurer. Millard S. Everett, '17, received the votes of two of the five members of the state committee for the selection of Rhodes scholars. Since his graduation from Westport Everett has been a stud- ent at William Jewell College where he has attained high rank in scholarship. Emma Esther Kirchofer, '14, was chos- en as the prettiest girl at the University of Illinois. She also claims the distinc- tion of organizing a new national sorority, the Gamma Episilon Pi, in the schools of commerce and state universities. Hubert Kelly, poet, is now working for the Kansas City Star. Midshipman Kenneth Ringle, who grad- uated from Westport in 1918, ranked ninth in a -Spanish class of over seven hundred cadets at Annapolis. Dana Munsell, '18, married Miss Hazel Stevens during the past year. J. H. Pritchett, '18, served as groom in the marriage of Miss Elinor Pierce, who attended Westport two years. Miss Cook, Miss Corbin, Miss Eggles- ton, Miss Jones, Miss Lash, Miss Maxwell, and Miss Storr, as well as Miss Leitch and Miss Duncan fof former daysj, are num- bered among our instructors who are Westport graduates. George Reeves, captain of last year's basket ball team, is a basket ball instructor at M. U. in the Physical Education De- partment.

Laura Chandler, '16, was recently 'elected president of the Wellesley Dramatic Club, Corrine Richards, '18, had a prominent part in the pageant at K U., and Dorothy Amos, '18, took part in the annual play at Monticello Seminary. Alfred Benpamin, '16, has received many honors at Harvard, where he gradu- ates this month. Last December he was one of the twenty-two members of the 1920 class to receive initiation into the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity. He was rated in the first group of students and later received the John Harvard scholarship. He holds the highest record of any stud- ent in Harvard and has been congratulat- ed by President Lowell. Kathleen Lade, '18, Senior at Linden- wood College, was chosen May Queen by the students and was the central figure in the annual festival Saturday, May 15. She is the first Westporter to receive this honor. ......l. Albert Knollin, '18, now a student at the University of Wisconsin, finished in first place in both the 120 yard high hurdles and the 220 yard low hurdles in the dual meet between the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illi- nois. In both of the hurdling events he defeated Captain Andrews of the Wis- consin team. Mr. Roy M. Gregg, prominent real es- tate man, of the class of 1906, died early this spring. Mr. Gregg, as a business man, ranked high and attained as great a degree of success as almost any of our graduates. Foster Strong, '17, was production manager of the Junior play which was given at the University of Wisconsin, April 22. The following commissioned officers in the R. O. T. C. at M. C. are old Westport graduates: Powell Williams, '16, and Her- man Pearse, '18, are captains. George Bates and John O'Keefe are first lieuten- ants, and Truman Mathews is a second lieutenant. Terence Clark and Jack Mof- fit are top-sergeants. Others who suc- ceeded in becoming non-coms are: Orville Ament, George Fleming, Warwick Bene- dict and Sidney Cook. Westport was well represented in the pageant Missouri given at M. U. recent- ly. The following parts were taken by former Westporters: Herald, Ernest Garth, Spirit of the Woods, Mary Bess Meservey, Lead Miner, John Gilmore gg Brent, Paul Youmans, Thomas Hempsted, Orville Ament, Hunter, Terence Clark, Prejudice, John Moffitg Grandsire Wade, George Bates, The Holy St. Genevieve, Eugenia Haydon. John Madden, '17, was the winner in an oratorical contest open to the entire uni- versity, the winner to represent M. U. in the Missouri Valley oratorical contest. Clyde Emery and John Powell, who graduated in 1916, were members of de- bate teams in the Mid-West Debating League this year. Clyde Emery captained the Wisconsin team while John Powell represented Illinois. John Tracey, '16, an- other old Westport debater, represented K. U. this spring. Ruth Adele Hombs, '18, took the lead in the annual school play of Christian Col- lege, Columbia, which was presented re- cently. 132 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. Of the five men on the M.

G. without anything. If you failed to turn to this section first you have doubtless been impressed by the intense self consciousness of the inmates of this institution denoted, for instance, by the photographs and pedigrees of the Seniors, the oppressive dignity of the faculty sec- tion, or by some of the club pictures, which convey an insinuation of beauty. To dispel this self consciousness is the mis- sion of the Warbler. Stripping off all shams and conceits the Warbler will tell the plain truth, unembellished by stiff collars and parted hair, but garbed in a flannel shirt and overalls. We would rub the powder off a Vamp's nose and discover the freckles. Be not surprised at what you see. The truth is stranger than Mr. Demarest in a pair of gym pants. We simply are portraying Westport life as seen through the window of a smile. Soft Soap fThings that any child should know., Of course you know Mis-ter Hox-ie Haas.

We submit the following which we have dubbed the Westport Ticket : For President, S. D. Slaughter While gazing over our numerous presi- dential possibilities, the name of S. D. Slaughter stands out prominent. His dig- nity, gentility, solemnity and mild, angel- like conduct mark him as the man, if no other virtues adorned his cherub-like character. He also is an ardent church member, due not to the strength of his convictions, but to the strength of his father and also to the fact that he takes up the collection. He also was chosen on account of his undying, tender, gentle and heart felt love for Mr. 'Shouse, Mr. Beck- mann and Miss Fisher. We could recount his virtues for pages more, but these will convince any doubter as to his ability. For Vice-President, Howard Peck As a vice-president is to be seen and not heard, we have chosen Howard Peck, the man that made the Woolworth Building ashamed of itself, for this position. As Howard is almost as high as the cost of living, he might be of great assistance to Attorney General Palmer. However, if our president should die, of which there is not much hope, the White House would have to be enlarged to permit HoWard's entrance. So much for the vice-presi- dency. For Secretary of State, Jack Haas Since two of our late secretaries of state have been kicked out, we thought it a good idea to put Jack Haas in this posi- tion as he might be able to hold this posi- tion or to kick back. Another reason for his popularity is that it is whispered that he locks his cellar door at night. For Secretary of War, James Britt In considering the candidates for this position our first thought was of blood- thirsty Jim Britt. Jim is one of the most dashing, daring, and violent fellows West- port ever knew. He would keep us con- stantly in war, and we could all make money, betting as to the outcome. His one fault is that he might follow the pre- cedent set by Hobson. So, girls, beware. For Secretary of Navy, Marion Sims As soon as we discovered that Marion Sims was the nephew of Admiral Sims, our search for a candidate ceased. We feel sure that if Admiral Sims expresses himself as forcefully at home as else- where, Marion will know all there is to be known about the weaknesses of our navy and of the British navy. For Secretary of Agriculture, George Stroud As this rural gent passes us we see in his eyes intense longing for the farm and its products such as pigs, chickens, cows, potatoes, corn, etc. Westport has been doing her best to citify George but the influence of the farm shows itself all over him, from head to foot. Although shy and retiring, he is the author of many books on farm work. For Secretary of Labor, James Darnell Jim impressed us all with his knowledge of the labor situation in the recent debate. Jim knows the laborers' point of view, as the sweat of toil has oft stood on his man- ly brow, and he also knows the capitalists' attitude, as he invested 35.30 in oil stock which is paying 100W dividends to some other man. In this position he might be able to acquire a few more medals, which might bring his collection up to the three- ton mark. We are counting on Jim to take all the votes of the fairer sex. For Attorney-General, No Candidate Palmer has been doing such excellent work in reducing the H. C. of L. that we think he should be re-elected. LIBRQXIQYV PASTE E . Q. 5. Q. X' l .

THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. 137 THE WESTPORT TICKET CContinuedJ ' For Secretary of the Treasury, Jerome Stuart Jerome's loud ties, silk shirts, S20 shoes and other expensive articles of clothing loudly proclaim the fact that he takes -up the collection at church. Since he takes care of the church I money so cleverly, we think he would be a marvel- ous success in this responsible position. For Secretary of the Interior, Howard Fisk As we seldom hear of the Secretary of the Interior, we are placing one of the most bashful, shy and modest boys in our school in this position. Howard Fisk ac- tually never speaks unless he is awake and thus he has acquired great UD wealth according to the old saying, Silence is Golden. ,,,...1,.4.....1L-1- A Tale of Two Cities v -and all was madness. -Poe. Last night I had a horrible dream. It still haunts meg I am uncomfortable and perplexed, and I can't stop thinking about it. You see, it was' like this. I was walk- ing along Main street when I met a purplish-green person with five legs and a large, amorphous head, who claimed to be a Martian answering to the name of Glywrck. He had fallen out of his gyros- cope into the Missouri near St. Joe, and he wanted to know if this was another city like St. Joe, where he had landed. Oh, dear no! I assured him, That's St. Joe, where there's an insane asylum, don't you know. And what is this ? he asked, pointing to Westport H. S. This is a High School, I replied. Place where people come to learn things. Totally different sort of institution. . ' - .n.,. - -- - ,. , -, -1 --,.-Y-.. .,.- -w.-,.,--A-..,-4 ,--f..-Lh,-,-f--- ---f ----- Interest showed on his whole counten- ance and he asked to be shown over the whole outfit. So I promised him I would, and I started out with the lunch room. As he gazed on the good natured crowd, jostling each other happily, and squeez- ing in to get a dish of soup and squeezing out again without spilling a drop, wonder and amazement registered on his violet face and suddenly he asked, These peo- ple-they are assuredly mad ? No, no, not at all! Everybody does it. It's the custom. Ah! murmured he, some sort of fes- tival? No, these people are merely struggling to live. H'mph, said he in a pungent tone and dropped the subject. ' Why don't they abolish these useless and tiring classes, then ? He was an extremely stupid person. I explained to him that classes were not useless, that they were what we were here to go to, and there wouldn't be any West- port without them. He merely said H'mph and went on. Later on we went to a dance. My Martian was perfectly amazed to see such a crowd working away at that form of violent 'exercise called the fox-trot, danc- ing like grim death, convoluting andma- neuvering to the wild strains of some bar- baric melody, copiously assisted by cow bells and two cans. And are not these people mad ? he enquired. No, not at all. Why, some of our mo-st intelligent students are here, I said in- dignantly. V A It is some sort of religious rite, then? ffweu, not exactly. It is a fri-m of diver- sion. They do it for pleasure. Don't you see! No, he didn't see. That carp couldn't see the simplest things. His at- tention was attracted by a passing couple. The better half of it, a small, fluffy, individual, mumured to her partner as , , -T-,H , ' ' -rf -x. , f 138 THE WESTPORT HIGH SCHOOL HERALD. they glided past, Oh, Jack, you are such a heavenly dancer, and so big and strong! Jack clawed at his collar in inexpressible emotion, and then asked her to three parties in a row. The young lady admires the young man very much, I take it said Zlgwrck. Don't you believe it, said I +She's simply pulling his leg. His emerald eyes widened. Wha-a-at? Pulling his - I jumped hastily into the breach, convinced he could understand nothing. Shes, She's, oh confound it! I mean she's fooling him, deluding him, leading him on, getting something for nothing. In reality she thinks he is a poor simp- which he is. That's what most of the girls really think of the boys that drag 'em around. But they make those same admire 'em intensely, and they make 'em spend all their allowances. See ? The men-they believe all this ? But you say they are supposed to be highly intelligent ? Why, er, yes. Supposed to be. C-ome on away. Next day, there was an as- sembly. I had one of my ancient im- pressions destroyed. I thought Martions never slept. Then I showed him the sights. I showed him Mr. McClain, and Mr. Herman, he peeked at Miss De Witt, and I let him listen to a conversation between an Irving and a Clay. We went into the Library and he thought it was a club. The p-oor fish couldn't get it through his head that it was a place where people studied. I let him see the office and how the clock system works. He glanced at the Herald staff busy, and took a hasty look at the gym. He had said nothing for the last hour. When I told him that we had seen all, he found his voice at last. He thanked me for my kindness, and said he was going immediately. Where to? I asked. Back to St. Joe he replied. The folks there admit they're crazy. Now wasn't that the devil of a dream? -l- AN INCIDENT IN THE LIBRARY A young man, hustling through the Libe, His mind preoccupied, Unseeing, bumped into a form, And Beg your pardon, he cried. Then as he saw 'twas I-Ianawalt Into whose arms he'd fled, His thoughts, relieved, came back to earth Oh, that's all right he said. ,l AN EXPOSE Who Would of Thought This of Herschel' Xenophon Clevenger? Dear Son :-- I have here before me your marks of the past five weeks. As you prob- . ably know, they are very unsatisfac- tory. I cannot understand how this came to happen, for you have here- tofore had good grades, and I know that you have at least a reasonable amount of intelligence. Can it be that you are taking high school as a joke? Is it possible that you are idling your time away in pool rooms? Or has the cigarette habit got hold of you? It must be one of these things. You can probably recall the things I told you before you left for Kansas City. You will remember that I warn- ed you against such habits. You might as well understand that it is up to you to make good. I am therefore expect- ing you to straighten up this matter and never let it happen again. Father. P. S. Your allowance will be reduced ten dollars-F. --i.1,.i-1--' Where are you going, my pretty maid? To see Miss Kleeman, sir, she said. May I go with you, my pretty maid? No, you're why I'm due there now, she said. ,ii-.1--1-l Twinkle, twinkle, Theta fair, Skirts and nose high in the air, y Far beyond my purse you lie, A There'll be no dates 'tween thee and I.

K5 T Senior Prophecy The year of 1940 has arrived, And in the world's who's who The members of '20 who have survived Their fate let us review. Our resident's face is the first to appear, P He has a savage mien, That weapon in his hand, I fear, Is naught but a razor keen. As he hewed his way in the days of yore To the much sought after goal, Hewing and carving's his job once more, His sign is a barber pole. Cooksey's life is one of daring, It is one of danger, too. Cooksey's life is very wearing, He is keeper in a zoo. Chester always Was a brave boy, Soon he'll wear a funeral wreath, 'Cause it is his greatest joy To always clean the lion's teeth. Who's that stunning, bold vampire With emerald earrings long, With ruby lips and eyes of fire She would attract a throng. My word! It surely cannot be, It simply must be false, Virginia Smith's the one I see, Bring on the smelling salts. Here's. Wetzel, famed in football days, A fireman now so bold 5 He bravely quenches every blaze, His courage ne'er grows cold. And when the engine rushes by A-dashing down the street, His fireman's hat is raised on high, His former friends to greet. Now who's this handsome man so tall, Adored by all the girls? He keeps a shop, 'n' that ain't all, They come to it in whirls. Now, listen, for I wouldn't dare To say this thing aloud, He's a manicurist of great care, His name is George Smart Stroud. An actress of great and wondrous fame Is Betty Hanawalt. She now has made a lasting name, Her acting has no fault. In The Fateful Red Ruby she's playi And it is quite the go, A red headed man is making his bow As her dashing young hero. A Russian dancer next we see Who prances on his toes, You'd never guess who this could be, The secret I'll disclose. Verne Wilkins is this dancer gay Who floats like thistle down, Who trips it lightly every day As he goes from town to town. Now here is one who's never caught A glimpse of Fortune's frown, A beauty parlor she has bought, I swear it's Eleanor Brown. She fixes ladies' curls and puffs, V Marcelles their lovely hair, And makes more money than most girls She's envied everywhere. Here's one whose life of wedded bliss An envy is to all. His wife, a golden headed Miss, Will never let it pall. Jimmy Stewart did as we thought, Married the girl he wooed, At Westport years ago-and few Such love have ever viewed. ,MMM 'ant, A E V x , , N-'-uf--V-f-v Kfvvupak ,Eff-amp. x,,, . ,Mn HN 7 ,Q LF, , , -.-...- 1 , 4 -que A-...5J,.M..,-av' 'WE' 1, .-..f- ' 4' A , K , AA., 41 vm-.X .., , - 1 n I 1 1 p f 1 L P A r 1 4 1 x L .
