Fourteen S the president of this Senior Class, realizing that after many long and difficult lessons and varied experiences we have arrived at our goal, I do hereby name this, the second of June, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven, as the most important day of our lives. I do likewise decree that our teachers, our parents and our be not forgotten in our expression of gratitude for the privi- lege we have enjoyed. In recognition thereof, I proclaim this day as a day to be set aside from all the rest for celebration and jollification that the air may abound with the echoes of our rejoicing. Let us pledge ourselves to remember all the lofty ideals that have been born in us in our work together here and so carry on that our instructors may be proud that theirs was the task of teaching us how to really begin to live. As we look back over the past and think of good times we have had it is with much regret that we leave the shelter of Westwood Hi. Until now we have paddled our course together, but now we must row forth alone into the deeper channels. But we have our chart and our compass and those who follow us will ever see our blue and white as signals of the confidence and de- termination of the class that has always been proved to show its colors. friends Attested: —Kenenth Lofstedt, President. LaVerne Shaw, Secretary. Try It I’ve often wondered at the end of day, If by any chance I’d lost an opportunity To do a little good To someone in this brotherhood. In this strange land of joy and woe Where both so easily sprout and grow. If you get the chance to make a smile, Don’t miss it, it makes life worth while. —Bob Lamson, ’27. Fifteen It was a hard task to write the future of the great Class of 1927, the fate of such beautiful and fair damsels, and such noble aud sturdy youths that I went to Alexander, the Great Medium, and as I sat there and gazed into the globe the future of the class I saw. A big, sturdy man, such dignity and fine bearing—why who else could it be but our beloved president Bob Lamson. He has then reached his goal. It was always his wish to be famous and he is the Governor of our State of California. Ah!—quite a dazzling sight meets my sight now—why—it is yes, Pauline, taking away the honors at the Beauty Contest in Atlantic City. Why—what’s this? A mob! Thundering applause! New York! A theatre! What is the attraction—Luboff Helmich as one of the greatest actresses of the day—now I hear music, Ah! such sweet strains, they hold one entranced by the perfection of their harmonies, and as the mists clear, I see Marjorie Williford, now a famous violinist. Again I find myself gazing into a large theatre and as I become accustomed to the darkness I see that all eyes are focused on one figure on the stage—Kenneth Lofstedt has also reached his goal for he is directing that great orchestra—my isn't it nice to have so many of our class famous. Another beautiful scene, a mansion, gar- dens, fountains, who is that in that marvelous looking car? Good grief! If it isn’t Brownie and Einar, and I'll miss my guess if Rolland Wakeman isn’t their chauffeur, guess he is still building radios and monkeying around cars. Now who in the world is that talking so convincingly to those men? Seems to me I recognize that commanding voice. Well! if it isn't Thomas Weitzel, and a fine lawyer he does make. The scene now discloses the in- terior of San Quentin. I beheld my old schoolmate Delbert Chipman look- ing out from the iron bars, and just as I was saying to myself, “another good man gone wrong, ” in tripped a pretty girl in nurse’s uniform whom I recog- nized as Tillie Shaw, and said to him, “Doctor, the patient is now conscious.” What are those stately buildings I see surrounded by beautiful shrubbery and trees? On peering closer I see above the entrance to the main building. “Misses Opal and Annie Lou Alexander’s Select School for Young Ladies.” I see by the crystal that Mabel Gilbert has also acquired the name of Mrs., and her Home Economics course is being put into good use. The crystal now dis- closes that Neva Walker has attained both of her girlish ambitions. She is secretary to the High School principal and writes Mrs. before her name. When I next turned to the crystal a strange sight met my eyes and yet a familiar one for there sat Lewis June—asleep—as usual. Where is that big crowd going to? Surely something of great importance is going to happen. Ah! a tennis court and that girl on the court with that big winning smile is little Mary Tisserand, and the way that crowd is cheering she must be a second Helen Wills. This man bossing all those men must be someone I know— yes, it is Donald Sangster, foreman of the Veneer Plant at Westwood. As Sixteen that picture fades I see a ship, and on the deck I see a girl whom I recognize as Helen Morrison, but I fail to recognize that tall, sturdy man by her side. Rice! Why that can only mean a honeymoon trip to Europe. Who is that I see with a Ben Turpin look and Charlie Chaplin feet? Why it's the modern Houdini, Dick Brown, taking rabbits out of a hat. The crystal has revealed the fate of all my classmates. Oh! woe is me! The last scene and the saddest scene. I see myself, still Marion Huggins, manipulating a type- writer in the office of the Red River Lumber Company, and on glancing above my desk at the calendar I see the date 1950 and faint dead away. —M. H„ '27. We, the class of 1927, of the Westwood High School, have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to listen to our last will and testament. To receive from our dying hands, gifts we have to bestow on you, talents which have served us so faithfully these last four years. We, the Class of 1927, about to pass out from this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, do make public our will and testament. We give and bequeath to our dear faculty, who have been our guardians so long, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. It has been a hard strain on them, but they have done their duty well and verily, they shall have their reward. We give and bequeath to our class teacher. Miss Neill, our respect and appreciation; may the Gods bless her with another such class. And to our fellow students; may these things be a gentle reminder of our noble hearts and generosity: I, Annie Lou Alexander, do will and bequeath my studious ways to Ray- mond Chipman. May they serve him as they have me. I, Thomas Weitzel, do will and bequeath my surplus avoirdupois to John Wood. I feel he needs it badly. I, Kenneth Lofstedt. do will and bequeath my privilege to ride in Pauline's Ford to anyone who can get it. I, Mary Tisserand, do will and bequeath my devilish ways to Dede Felion. Seventeen I, Delbert Chipman, do will and bequeath my intelligence to Lois Taylor, feeling that I can get along in this world with my beauty. I, Neva Walker, do will and bequeath any overlooked gum that I might have left to Elba Miller Since gentlemen prefer blondes, I, Marjorie Williford, do will and be- queath my blondness to Irene Martin. I, Bob Lamson, do will and bequeath my speech to anyone fast enough to catch it. I, rillie Shaw, do will and bequeath my “fighting spirit’’ shown in classes to Marjorie Gardner. I, Marion Huggins, do will and bequeath my wonderful gift of gab to anyone strong enough to undertake it. I, Einar Knudsen, do will and bequeath my bluff to anyone applying. Come early and avoid the rush. I, Rolland Wakeman, do will and bequeath my boisterousness to the Cyr girls. May they make good use of it. I, Pauline Minshall, do will and bequeath my place on the Honor Roll to Bill Watson. I, Luboff Helmich, do will and bequeath my baby stare and voice to Gorden Wilson. I, Dick Brown, do will and bequeath my daintiness to Pluma Kenfield; my beauty to Paul Brink. I, Donald Sangster, do will and bequeath my musical ability to James Shaw. I, Lewis June, do will and bequeath my drag with the faculty to Rein- ette Fowler. I, Mabel Gilbert, do wifi and bequeath my luck to get married to Oliver Torgusen. I, Marjorie Brown, do will and bequeath my innocence to Matie Bennett. I, Opal Alexander, do will and bequeath my quietness to Rena Conley. I, Helen Morrison, do will and bequeath my vampish ways to Clarence Jacobsen. —M. H. and T. S. Eightcei Junior Class First Row: Harold Hull. Marie Phelan. Lois Taylor. Marjorie Champ.

The 1926 season began with four letter men and three first string men who had not yet won a right to wear a block “W.” This nucleus was further strengthened by the addition of Lamson, a hard plunging back. The remainder of the squad was composed of inexperienced men, all of camparatively light weight. Although the team did not succeed in registering a win, W. H. S. may be proud of the season's showing as every game was hard-fought and the '‘never-give-up” spirit of Westwood prevailed. October 2—Westwood, 0: Modoc, 12 This was the first game of the season played in Westwood against the old rivals, Modoc. This game was hard fought and more nearly even than the score would seem to indicate. October 9—Westwood, 6; Modoc, 13 This game was played in Alturas. The Westwood boys were determined to even the series with Modoc but fate seemed against them. This game was very exciting, being won by Modoc in the last few minutes of play. D. Chipman made the touchdown for Westwood on a recovered Modoc fumble. October 23—Westwood, 6; Redding, 13 This game was the fastest one played during the whole season, the weather being just right for football. There was doubt as to the outcome until the final whistle blew. Lofstedt made the only touchdown for Westwood by returning a punt from midfield through the entire Redding team. The line plunging of Lamson featured the game. November 25—Westwood, 0; Susanville, 27 Our boys journeyed to Susanville for the game during a rain and snow storm. The gridiron was covered with water, consequently it was a game of slip and slide. Our team was outweighed by many pounds and we were unable to push through their line for a touchdown. Thus the football season ended. Twenty-five First Row: Lightweights: O'Connor, Jacobsen, June, Hull. Second Row: Heavyweights: Lamson, Knudsen, Ricketts, Lofstedt, Coach Fagin, Weitzel.

Ttventy-seven SEASON RECORD Westwood, 17; Modoc, 18 Westwood, 8; Modoc, 12 Westwood, 47; Greenville, 2 (Lightweights) Westwood. 31; Greenville, 6 (Heavyweights) BOYS The husky Senior quintet which consisted of Lamson (captain), Lofstedt, Knudsen, D. Chipman, Weitzel, and Wakeman, won the most thrilling inter- class series ever played at W. H. S. by a good margin. The Junior combina- tion, which was made up of L. Ricketts (captain), Jacobsen, Hull, King, Wil- son. Dick, and Brink ranked next to the triumphant Seniors. The Sopho- more team, which was composed of Scott (captain), R. Chipman, B. Ricketts, Rosenstreter, Jones, Newton, and Clark played a fast game, but were not ac- curate on hitting the basket. The Freshmen were represented by McKeown (captain), O Connor, Wood, Shaw, Miller, Wilson, Pierson, Archibald, and Rookaird. This nervy little freshman aggregation, although defeated by all three other teams, certainly played good games. The scores which resulted in the Seniors taking the championship of the school are recorded as follows: Seniors vs. Juniors, 28-17; Seniors vs. Sopho- mores, 49-8; Seniors vs. Freshmen, 30-0; Juniors vs. Sophomores, 17-2; Juniors vs. Freshmen, 23-11; Sophomores vs. Freshmen, 13-7. We all hope that next year’s interclass games will be just as hard fought and interesting as this year’s. GIRLS The interclass games of the past season proved to be one of the most inter- esting series of games ever played at W. H. S. The Juniors were victorious, taking the championship by the scores of 14-2, 12-4. The first of the series of games between the Freshmen and Sophomores resulted in the score of 13-7, Sophomores winners. The second and third games were won by the Freshmen, scores 15-12, 5-2. This ended the basket- ball season for the girls. Twenty-eight The High School Operetta, “Love Pirates of Hawaii,” was given at the theatre under the direction of Mrs. Wood. There were two performances, matinee and evening, both being very successful. Dorothy, an American girl in a school of rich Hawaiian girls, gets her- self and everyone else into an embarrassing situation, trying to see her sweet- heart, who is in the U. S. Navy, when men are not allowed in the school. Miss Primer, the old maid teacher, adds humor to the play when she mis- takes Billy, the hero, and his friends for a band of pirates. The real pirates capture the hero but Dorothy saves him while the guards are sleeping. Later the U. S. Marines capture the pirates, but Miss Primer has fallen in love with the pirate chief.

Adam and Eva” The household of Mr. King, a wealthy rubber manufacturer, are tired of his continual bickering and organized opposition to all their wishes. Through the help of Dr. Delamater, they send him up the Amazon on a trip for his health. Adam Smith, who longs for home life and thinks that you can stop women from being extravagant by just dropping a “hint,” is installed as father. The family in ten days overdraws the month’s allowance. In an attempt to reform the family he announces that Mr. King has gone broke. The whole family decide to go to work. Finally, upon Adam’s suggestion they decide to start a bee and chicken farm on the old King homestead in New Jersey. King returns from his trip up the Amazon very much mystified at the location of his family. Adam and Eva find their Garden of Eden and all ends happily.

Thirty-two FRESHMAN INITIATION Thursday afternoon, September 9, at Clear Creek, the Freshmen received their final degree of initiation, showing cleverness for many things of which heretofore they had been unsuspected. The girls were all given famous school girl complexions, their hair being done in many becoming fashions. In order to start something they introduced the stunning style of gingham gowns and knee boots. The high school students gathered about the bonfire to be en- tertained by the “Little Green Frosh.” The program was indeed enjoyed by everyone. Everyone agreed that they were welcome in High. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshmen were cordially invited to attend a reception given in their honor by the Westwood High School student body. The new students were made at home by giving them a dance. It is considered one of the best parties of the season. STUDENT BODY PARTY October 2, 1926, the Westwood High School student body entertained the Redding football team at a dance and feed at the grammar school gym- nasium. The hall was decorated in Redding’s colors. Everyone reported a good time. Both the Redding and the Westwood boys are hoping they can meet again next year. JUNIOR AND SENIOR BUNCO PARTY On the evening of December 7th, 1926, the Junior and Senior dases gave a bunco party. After an hour of playing bunco an hour was spent in dancing. Light refreshments were served and everyone adjourned feeling that the even- ing had been well spent. STUDENT BODY PARTY The student body of the Westwood High School held a dancing party in the Grammar School gymnasium on Friday, January 7. Refreshments were served at twelve o’clock. A good time was reported by all. GIRLS’ STAG Friday, January 16, was the one night the girls of Westwood High School were looking forward to. After all suits, ties and hats were bought, borrowed or stolen the weird night arrived. At eight-thirty the sheiks and their girls came strolling in. When the Mark brothers entered, all the girls hearts were aflutter, then in came Tom Brown, the world’s heartbreaker, and an 'nawful line he did carry. The happy crowd enjoyed dancing until eleven-thirty, when Thirty-three there was a mad scramble for the right girls for supper. It was a new thrill for every girl present to have for her escort a collegiate, which is only an an- nual experience. On March 3, 1927, after the last of the girls’ basketball games, everyone adjourned to the parlors of the church where a banquet awaited them. Speeches were given by the hostess. Miss Neill, and the captains of the various teams. After the banquet was over, the girls felt that they had been well paid for their hard work. During Easter vacation the Junior class held a bunco party in the Masonic Hall. Everybody was full of pep and had a good time. Bunco was played until ten and then a delicious supper was served. On April 8, 1927, the Senior class of Westwood High decided to have a party so all the old Fords of the class were gathered up and away we went. The Fords behaved well and we all arrived at the Gun Club safe and sound but hungry, so the Seniors' Delight was served, or otherwise, spaghetti. After supper baseball was played and the Red Socks won. Dancing was then in favor, so we danced the latest steps; namely the Broom Dance and the Vir- ginia Reel. The snow had been piling up, so not having very many eats left, and not wishing to get snowed in we left. But the snow proved too much for the Fords and a little elbow grease was needed to help them up the steep grades. On arriving home everybody declared this to be one of our best parties. The air is full of secrets There's whispering everywhere, The girls are joined in serious groups There’s mystery everywhere. Mine will be pink,” but don’t you tell; Mine’s green and flowered—too sweet.” I'm going to have a sport,” says one “And wear it on the street.” No mere men folks appreciate The study deep and long.
