the “sweet sixteens” of the class. She took the English
course and did some good work, particularly in German,
where she was a shark. She was a member of the Forum
Society. The muse of poetry early inspired Marie, and

class proceeded to elect Harold Nesbit president, Charles Brammer vice-president,
Josephine Snyder secretary and Nelle Thompson treasurer.
In the annual Spectator contest, the class attracted attention by securing a record
number of subscriptions for a Freshman class, although they did not win first honors.
The class, as a whole, was very quiet and industrious. Birdsall, Powers and
Chapman were the only ones who dared to go beyond the pale of Freshman obedience.
Indeed, Chapman began to start things while yet in the Eighth Grade, by attempting
a semblance of a qth of July celebration on the stairs. Of course he was severely
reprimanded, but all evidence shows that our principal’s admonition fell upon deaf
ears.
The only important social event of this year was the never-to-be-forgotten
“spread.” It was a Freshman party, but. as is a usual thing with Freshman parties,
the other classes were well represented. The banquet was held in the reception hall
(otherwise the third floor) of the High School building.
In their next year, as Sophomores, they studied industriously, endeavoring to
show their teachers how much ( ?) they reallv knew. This vear Carl Chapman was
chosen president, Hiram Maynard vice-president and Nelle Thompson secretary and
reasurer. tei a ong and heated debate, red and white were chosen as class colors.

a>emntS to wrest . living from the world. With the aid of Henry Kellogg, a college
chiuu and rising young financier, he obta.ns pos.non after position, losing them „
fast as they are gained. The play opens just after he has been discharged from the
sixth or seventh position Kellogg has found for him.
The scene opens in Kellogg’s bachelor apartments. Nat is nearly ready for
suicide, and Kellogg has just been notified that he has been made a member of the
firm of L. J. Bartlett & Co. A discussion follows as to what Duncan is to do and
Kellogg suggests that he marry a fortune. The heiress of any village being the object
in view\ Duncan seizes upon the chance eagerly and so it is settled.
The next scene is placed in a run-down drug store in the village Nat has se-
lected as the seat of his operations. Sam Graham, proprietor, is an old, easy-going
fellow who has spent his life in a useless attempt to invent something. Nat applies
for a job, but Graham tells him he cannot pay him. Nevertheless, crazy for some-
thing to do, Nat decides to work for him. By paying a back bill of Graham’s he ob-
tains credit from a wholesale drug concern and starts to build up a profit-making
business. Graham has a note due Lockwood, the village banker, but when the latter

When the class of 1915 entered school in the fall of 191 1, as Freshmen, there
came a class that was destined to be one of the greatest that would ever graduate from
“Old West High.”
To prove this the girls started out by copping the basket ball championship,
while the boys gave the upper classmen a good run for their money. The athletes
on each team were as follows:
Giri/s Team.
Forwards—Anita Fentiman and Gladys Aukerman.
Center—Gazelle McElhinney and Marie Miller.
Guards—Marvel Sindlinger and Gertrude Johnson.
Boys' Team.
Forwards—Kilpatrick and Bragdon.
Center—Davis.
Guards—Hinds, Bennet and Early.
At a class meeting which was held about two weeks after school began, the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
President—Clyde Davis.
Vice- President—Gladys Aukerman.
Secretary-Treasurer—Gazelle McElhinney.
The first spread was held in November on the third floor of the High School
building with several teachers as chaperons.

The teams lined up as follows:

Forwards—Lucille Whittle and Gladys Aukerman.
Guards—Anita Fentiman and Marie Miller.
Boys' Team.
Forwards—Hinds, Bragdon and Kilpatrick.
Center—Davis.
Guards—Glasencr and Early.
But our Junior year has been the climax of them all. The class has been equally
successful in scholastic and athletic work.
In the Oratorical contest with East High and Cedar Falls two out of the three
representatives from West High were Juniors, Doris Ludwig, in dramatic, and
Howard Leighton, in the oratorical class.
The Juniors also put on a class play—which was something new in the history
of the school. Some remarkable talent was displayed, and the play was conceded to
be one of the best ever produced at West High.
Both teams again succeeded in carrying oft the basket ball honors, the boys again
securing the cup. Die class has also been well represented in football, the follow-
ing men having won places on the team: Ohrt, Scroggv, Davis, Koester, Glasener
and Cotter, captain-elect for next year.

Sophomore Class History
As Freshmen the class of 1916 promised to be the most intelligent and the best
all around class that ever was to pass four short ( ?) years in West High. The class
was repioenttd in all the activities of the school and even made occasions of its own
or the display of its special brand of intelligence; one of which was the never-to-bc-

Freshmen Class History
~ entered the house of labor, the High School, a week
V"i .hk^have been laboring ever since. A few days later, having
after Labor D. y . entitled them to enter all High School contests, the
Freshmen'decided to win the Spectator contest and incidentally, the cup, which was
.o nobly offered bv the Seniors as a prize. After days of toil, enough subscnptions
were obtained by the committee, Eli Cohn, Gordon Vaughan, Gaylan Green, Jack
Leonard and Marjory Taylor, so that the magnificent trophy was won. As a result
the green and white floated triumphantly for the period of a week and the first year
class was presented with the loving cup prize. The speech of acceptance was ably
m'ven by Norbert Kent, “Zip,” for short, from the heights of the High School open
air gallery. And another feature was the parade which the Freshmen led, and which
consisted of foot travelers, automobiles and Fords. A little while after this epoch-
making occasion, there was held a splendid banquet in the Russel-Lamson hall. The
four course dinner, i, ice cream; 2, cake; 3, candy; 4, water; was the feature. An
excellent program was given and dancing indulged in. Honored guests were Mr.
McClain, Miss Lindner, and a few Seniors who were especial friends of some Fresh-
men.
After this event the time was spent in getting acquainted with and on the good
side of the teachers, who, of course, to the Freshmen presented a calm, cold and even
stern exterior. Meanwhile the football season was passing and the Freshmen were
not represented on the team. However, Theo Buzard and Thelma Walker made up
for this at the reception for the Dubuque football players.
Soon the basket ball season arrived, when, at a special meeting, it was decided
to have two teams, representing both sexes. The girls’ team consisted of Fern Way,
Dorothy Davis, Mildred Kays, Martha IThompson and Genevieve Gates—Genevieve
had the honor of being the star of the season. T he boys’ team, consisting of Jack
Maynard, Gordon Vaughan, Gaylan Green, Arthur Ehlers, and De Forest Miller,
lac a xery successful season, losing only' four games out of four play'ed.
1 he class of 17 was the first in the history of the school to have a girl as a
class president. I he officers for the year were,' Marjory Tavlor
Lamson, vice-president, and Mae Hersch, secretary and

Rnlnh Walker alias Ezra, alias War Horse, was our plunging fullback, and
when hi got started it was some job to keep him back. No matter how strong the
ne when Walker got the ball he generally came through and was stopped from
behind and nor from "befront.” Walker had a “Charley Horse, winch kept him
out of the game for some time, but he made up for lost time when he recovered.
Glasener, our left end, who, it is said, can make the hundred in 9 flat, can
crobble a forward pass going at sixty miles per. Glasener didn’t like to be seen from
the front, so he generally gave his opponents the opportunity of securing a rear view.
Whenever he broke out into an open field with the ball the 1 est of the team took
recess while they marked up another six points. He distinguished himself especially
in the Cedar Falls and Marshalltown games, although he was way above the average
in all of the games.
William Cotter, known throughout the state as Big Bill, divided his attentions
between the line at left tackle and the back field as right half. Bill was the official
“hooter” of the team. When Bill booted the ball it hated to stop. He was not all
“boot” however. He would gain ground with the best of them and when he started
down the field the whole of the opposing team had to attach themselves to different
parts of his anatomy before he could be pulled down. Bill has been rewarded for
his excellent booting, and plowing by being chosen captain of the squad for the season
of ’i4-’i5.
Golinveaux, to quote Mac, “is our scrappy Frenchman,” but called Golly for
short. He played both center and tackle positions and was an expert at plugging
b°les, achieving his greatest distinction in that role when he stopped East High an
inch from our line on 1 hrnksgiving day and saved the dav a second time bv recover-
ing a blocked kick back of our goal.
Curtis, our speediest man, shifted off and on from right half to left end and in
either position he showed his ability to cover the ground. Curtis showed his metal

’ Rausch is the man from Harvard (Military School). He was a regular man
on the squad although he didn’t seem to have played the same position twice. Rausch
is the only man at West High who has played both soccer and regulation football.
He came’from California where they play the former game and when he arrived
here he had to be “broke in again to real football.
Witt didn’t come out for football until the season was half over, but when he
did come he stayed. They couldn’t get along without him. If the man with the
ball could be “nailed,” or if the interference could be “spilled,” Witt was the man
that could do it every time.
Baldwin played guard for a while, until Mac discovered that he was a natural
born center. To sec Baldwin snap the ball and then climb over the opposing line
was a sight that soon became familiar to the football enthusiasts of West High. When
he started over or through the line he went; that was all there was to it.
Taking all things into consideration, West High has a right to be proud of the

1 he West High Five were twice defeated by Cedar Rapids State Champion team,
and once by Fort Dodge. We experienced little difficulty with any of the scheduled
games until we met these two teams. The Cedar Rapids Five played a fast game,
as is shown by their winning the state cup, but nevertheless they were not able, to
walk away with West High. In the first game we were defeated by 8 points and
in the second by 9 points, which is not at all bad considering the standing of the
winners.
In the first clash with Fort Dodge we came out 6 points to the good, and had
it not been for the lack of substitutes for the primary games at the Van Patten Tour-

have turned the tables on us in the finals, at least not by

VValker is a guard that is hard to lose. He has a reputation for staying right

his opponent down to a minimum.
Royce is a Freshman, the bright and shining light of the team. In view of the
excellent showing he made this year and considering the fact that he still has three
years to play' we predict a bright basket ball future for him and incidentally' for West
High.
Chapman played his last game of basket ball for West High this season, thus

Witt was our star forward and one of the best all around men
was about the closest approach to a perpetual motion machine that has ever appeared.
The guard that could stay with him was some guard and they' were mighty’ scarce.
Witt secured more field baskets than any other one man on the team, besides again
and again breaking up the team work of the opposing five.
Glasener played basket ball for West High during the latter half of the season
and has shown that he is a man to be relied upon to deliver the goods at all times.
Judging from his actions this year we feel justified in expecting great things from
him in the future.

The second team, with Fred Frehse as coach, has also finished in good standing.
They’ had several hard games, some of which were with the first teams of the smaller
cities near Waterloo, necessitating several expeditions into foreign territory, all of
which were much enjoyed by' the members of the squad, although they did not win
all of the games. Giving vocal selections for the entertainment of the passengers on
the train was a favorite diversion of the team. Some of the trips were taken with

The Runaway Valedictorian
“Congratulations, old man ; I knew it would be you,” shouted a friend, clapping
Barney Wells on the shoulder. Barney’s name had just been read as valedictorian
of his class anil he was surrounded by an admiring, exclaiming host.
“Aw, go on,” he grinned. “It was just a happen so.”
“Now you’ll have to make a speech,” giggled a girl in a middie blouse.
“Make a speech, what for?” he questioned, as if he didn’t know what they were
talking about, but his face took on an apprehensive look.
“Why, the valedictory speech, of course,” explained the frien
it, and no mistake.”
“□'here won’t be any this year if I have to make it,” Barney reported.
“But ton’ll have to. You must. There isn’t any way out of it.” They fairly
fired the objections at him.
“Why don’t you ever speak?” persisted a boy. “I can’t sec why you never went
in for debating, with your voice and mind. Gee! you’d have been a hummer.”
“Every time Barney’s on a program he gets a sore throat or skips school or
something. 1 believe he’s too bashfid to speak,” teased the girl with the red tie.
Barney threw' back his head and tried to laugh a scornful don’t-care laugh, but
it trailed off dismally. As he did so his eyes met those of the little girl with the tip-
tilted nose who had been silent all through the conversation. He started as he sud-
denly remembered that she must know’. He was sure the others didn’t but then of
course she’d tell them and then he’d be the laughing stock of the school. Why couldn’t
girls keep secrets? He wished he’d never seen her. For one minute he was angry
with her, unreasonably’ angry, just because she was there at all. He squirmed mis-
erably'.
“Gracious, we will be late to class if we don’t hurry.” The tip-tilted nosed girl
broke the silence. Barney shot her a half-angry' questioning glance. She met his look
for a moment and then nodded reasuringly. He was sure than that she remembered.
Her look seemed to say, “I won’t tell,” but Barney refused to be comforted by this
for he argued that she was only' a girl, and that girls can’t keep secrets.
Several years before when Barney' was in the grades and the girl with the tip-
tilted nose was a little girl with pigtails and freckles and a still more tip-tilted nose,
they both lived in a neighboring town and went to the same school. That was when
the thing happened that had hung over Barney' so long, the thing that he was afraid
the girl would tell.
It was the “last day of school” and every' one had to “speak a piece.” Barney.
the star performer, was to give the poem “Excelsior” and had been instructed by
the teacher in the art of speaking. The teacher publicly voiced her hope of his be-
coming a Daniel Webster some day, and it was quite the common thing for kindly-
old gentlemen to pat him on the head and ask him what he was going to do when
he got down to Washington ; so great was his fame as an orator. So when it came
his turn to speak a hushed silence fell on the room. He started in with a splendid
oratorical effort. A boy' in a front desk laughed and some girls tittered. Barney
stopped and for the first time in his life forgot. He fumbled for words but his mind
was a blank. People were laughing now, either openly' or behind their handkerchiefs.
Barney made another stammering attempt to go on and stopped. He stood there
looking at the floor for what seemed to him an age, his knees trembling, his lips
dry. Every’ snicker wounded his sensitive nature like a dagger stab. He shot a glance
at his teacher; she had her handkerchief to her face. He turned to that personage,
the president of the school board, who was guffawing quite openly. A wild anger
filled Barnev and he fairly' ran from the room. He walked and walked, he didn’t
TT
care where. All he wanted was to get away. When he didn’t come back people be-
came frightened and went out to search for him. Finally, on the next day, when they
found him, he was asleep in a straw stack ten miles from home. Immediately after
this he moved away and never saw the people who laughed at him again ; excepting,
of course, the girl. Since this experience he had never spoken in public. The wound
to his pride had been too deep and he had been too disappointed.
Now he was in a place where he must cither give the valedictory address of his
class or—. He could think of no alternative, no way out of the difficulty except
bolting, and that he dismissed as cowardly. So he followed the path of least resistance
and prepared his speech, hoping against hope that something would turn up. His
public speaking teacher was puzzled. She coidd not understand how anyone with
so much natural ability could be so diffident and halting about using their talents.
At last, a way out of the difficulty did come but not until the day before the grad-
uating exercises.
That evening as Barney was walking briskly up the street with a traveling bag
in his hand he almost ran into the girl with the tip-tilted nose who was just running
across the street to see a chum.
“Why, Barney Wells, where in the world are you going?” she demanded.
Barney hesitated. He didn’t care to explain matters. “Why,” he said, at length,
with elaborate carelessness, “I’m going out west to my uncle’s ranch. I got a letter
from him this evening asking me to come and spend the summer. He said I’d
better come as soon as I could,” he finished lamely, for even in the dim light he saw
the look of contempt that came to her face.
“So you’re going to run away and not give the valedictory after all?” she threw
at him. “It doesn’t make any difference to your uncle whether you get there tomorrow
or next week, and you know it. All you’re thinking about is getting away. Afraid
to get up and talk to a few people! That’s what I call cowardly.”
“Yes and have everybody laugh. I guess not,” he blazed. “I’ve had enough of
that sort of thing.”
“Look here, you’re a swell speaker, Miss Castle says you are, and here you go
and run off just because of some funny little thing that happened a long time ago,”
she said.
“I’m not running away, I tell you,” he contradicted, “and besides that ‘funny
thing’ as you call it, wasn’t very funny to me.”
“Forget it. Can’t you enjoy a joke on yourself? I don’t see yet how that dull
Tom Hawkins ever thought of it,” she laughed.
“Thought of what?” he said,.in a puzzled way.
“Why, of the excelsior, of course,” she explained. “What? don’t you know
yet? Well, you remember you were to speak ‘Excelsior,’ and Tom brought some to
school (the kind you pack dishes and things in) and scattered it over your head just
before you got up to speak. I saw him do it. When you waved your arms dramatical-
ly and said ‘Excelsior,’ of course everyone laughed.

FINDS DOUBLE-EAGLE ON DESK.
New York, May 8, 19—For five mornings Mrs. W. W. Shannon,
who resides at 6419 Fifth Ave., while attending to her correspondence, has
discovered a double-eagle laid in precisely the same spot on her desk. She
let the first incident pass by' but her curiosity' was more thoroughly' aroused
when she discovered the third and fourth payments. Now she has solicited
the aid of the famous detective Decker, who figured so prominently in the
late Manford case. It is rumored that Mrs. Shannon fears blackmailing.”

did appear snobbish, but if one knew her as I did he would find her a whole-hearted.
fun-loving girl. So she’s a widow now. Pity she didn’t marry me in the first place.
Oh. hum-m!”
At about the same time Mrs. Shannon while reading the morning paper, discov-
ered an item peculiarly' interesting. In fact, it was so very' interesting that she read
it the second and then the third time. “So Allen Forester has decided to return to
his ‘paternal domicile.’ Wonder if he still expects to find his father’s fortune.”
Just then the butler announced Detective Decker, and that gentleman presented
himself.
"Ah! Good morning, Mrs. Shannon, good morning. Another double-eagle for
me this morning?” was his greeting.
“Two more,” she replied. “My mysterious visitor seems to be more generous
than usual. But what I can’t see is how he, she or it ever gets in. No one but Mr.
Shannon and my brother ever had latch keys—at least to the main doors,” she added.
“Aha! Something interesting after all. But who is the person so honored as
to hold another key?” For the first time the detective actually showed interest.
"W-well! About six years ago, Allan Forester had a key' to a secret door that
he and my brother Thomas used late at night. But he lost it, long ago,” she added
quickly.
“Perhaps this is our clue. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Allan Forester returned
about a week ago.” T he detective became absorbed in thought.
“But you don't—you can’t think he came here. Besides, why would he want
to leave double-eagles in plain sight?” anxiously' inquired Mrs. Shannon.
“Eh? Oh—er—pardon me. That is just what I wanted to ask you. But if
you don’t know, I’ll try to find out,” he said as he arose to go.
In his office a few hours later, Mr. Decker received a telephone call from a
prominent drug store.
"I believe you were inquiring about morphine sales?” inquired a voice at the
other end of the wire.
“Lately, one person has bought so much that I fear he is using it for himself
or a friend. He is a young man of about twenty-six, tall and well built, with black,
curly hair, equally black eyes and olive complexion. He appears well dressed and
seems to have ready money.”
“No conspicuous marks?” Decker inquired.
“No, just an ordinary young man,” and the receiver went up with a click.

Humph! Far as that goes, anyone s guilty, may be—” But here the telephone
rang.
“Yes, this is Mr. Decker.”
“Well, that fellow has just been here and 1 see that a side tooth on his lower
jaw is missing and he is continually chewing gum,” and again the receiver went up.
“Hum-m! Fits Allan Forester to a T. Guess I’ll go see him and casually
mention Mrs. Shannon.”
The interview was successful in establishing Forester as the fiend, but nothing
in regard to Mrs. Shannon could be learned.
'1'he next morning, while calling upon her, Mr. Decker learned that Mrs. Shan-
non’s maid, while getting camphor for her tooth, had heard a noise as of some one
walking in the house.
“She said she thought it must have been her nerves, but when the noise became
louder and passed beside her, she couldn’t keep back a sharp scream. Immediately
something brushed her arm and swished on down the hall toward the library. Too
frightened to know what she was doing, she went to the library and switched on the
lights—but the room was empty. Then she realized that she hadn’t taken the cam-
phor and attributed her fright to a case of nerves. But this morning I found eight
double eagles and among them was this,” handing him what appeared to be a piece
of a broken needle.
“Aha! This is encouraging!” exclaimed the detective. Taking out a powerful
pocket microsope, he examined the needle minutely, and seemed satisfied.
“Now, a question. Where was the noise the maid heard in the hall?”
“Well—here, I’ll call her and sec.”
When the maid appeared, her story was confirmed by a swollen check, which
disfigured an otherwise pretty face.
“Mrs. Shannon here has been telling me about your
you please tell me more?”
The maid told her story again, just as Mrs. Shannon
“Just a minute. Where did you go for the camphor?
to come from ?”
“Well, you see, the house sets down in the ground, making the libray floor
almost like a second story. In the back hall on this floor there is a medicine cabinet
and it is here the camphor is kept. 'Die noise seemed to come from the opposite side
of the wall as if some one were going up stairs. But there arc no stteps there. It
must have been a mere case of nerves.”
“That will do. You may go,” commanded Mrs. Shannon sharply. As soon
as the maid had gone she broke down. “That is where the secret stairs are. Oh, it
can't be that Allen has become a criminal.”
“There, there! It’s plain sailing from now on. Of course he isn’t a criminal.
I’ll have the solution by tomorrow morning.”
“Come to lunch tomorrow, won't you? It is easier to bear surprises if there
are stimulants at hand.”
“Certainly,” replied Mr. Decker. “May 1 bring a friend?”
“Y-ycs. if he would be interested,” was Mrs. Shannon’s condition. “Lunch is
served at one.”
Promptly at one Mr. Decker and a friend were announced and when they en-
tered, the friend, none other than Allan Forester, hastened to greet his hostess.
“Why, Allan! Is it you? How good of you to come! And Mr. Decker, of
course! But come! Lunch is served,” and she led the way to a charming dining
room.
The meal was half over before Mrs. Shannon could trust herself to say:
“Now, for the explanation. Does Allan know anything of the matter?”

1 told him a few things coming down. Well, it isn’t a very long story.
\ ou see, you gave me all my clues. First about the key and the secret stairway and
then the broken needle. 1 knew the person must be a—dope fiend, if you’ll pardon
me—and familiar with the house. You said Allan here was a friend and some one
told me of a man answering his description, who was buying morphine pretty fre-
quently. So I called on Allan and learned that he did use it—with a needle. So
1 hid a man in his rooms last night and here’s the report.”
Taking out a note book he read : “Got up at two-ten, went to chimney in his
room and pushed a projection in the carved woodwork. Out flew a little door. Took
out two keys, ‘these two here,’ put one, ‘this,’ in his pocket, and taking the other went
to an old fashioned bureau in an adjoining room, unlocked the lower drawer, took
out a layer of clothing and lifted out a false bottom. Brought out a handfid of gold
which he put in same pocket with key. Wrapped up well and walked to 6419 Fifth
Ave. Unlocked concealed door with other key and entered. Climbed long stairway,
emerged through secret panel in hall opposite small mirror, proceeded to library
where he put money in desk. Exit same way. Replaced keys. Apparently awake,
having eyes open, but unaware of my presence. Just as he got into bed he seemed
to remember the lights and turned them out. All well since. Baker.”
There followed an almost tangible tension, finally broken by a sigh from Mrs.
Shannon.
‘‘Well 1 That’s my first contact with sleep walking. The doctor said I’d do
something desperate if I didn’t quit the—dope, as Mr. Decker here calls it,” said
Forester slowly. “But I knew 1 couldn’t quit it. Doctor said a shock would start
the cure—and I must have had a shock last night for I haven’t used half as much
today. I can see why I’d put the money on the desk. I’d done it many times for
Tom. But what I can’t see is where those double eagles came from. Do you
know, Decker?”
“I ordered my man to investigate that bureau drawer and—there he is now,”
as the Butler said Mr. Decker was wanted.
When he returned he said: “Baker said that in the bottom of that drawer was
a will bequeathing all that money, of which, by the way, there is still something like
$30,000 left in the drawer, and anything else on the property, to you. So I’d advise
you to look some more. Well, I must be leaving. I’ll return the eagles tomorrow,
unless they fly way.”
“Aw keep the things, and as much more as you want. It has caused me enough
trouble.”
Two months later Mr. Decker received an announcement of the engagement
of Molly Shannon and Allan Forester, with a little note saying:
“Thanks for the hint. Have a fortune
now, and a wife besides.”

Debate
Shortly after school started in the fall the first call for debaters was sounded
and a debating club organized with Hiram Maynard as president and secretary, and
Carl Chapman as treasurer. This was the first time debating work had ever been
started before Thanksgiving, and great things were expected as a result. The club
started with a fairly large number but by the time of the preliminary tryout but eight
had "‘stuck by it” chiefly for the reason that with four veteran debaters there was
little chance for others. However, there was spirited competition between these eight
and from them Roger Birdsall, Evelyn Hess, Hiram Maynard, Lavern Chapman,
Hulda Zilmer and Merle Brown were chosen to constitute the teams. First honors
went to Roger Birdsall and second to Evelyn Hess. Hess, Maynard and Brown were
chosen on the negative team, while Chapman, Zilmer and Birdsall upheld the affirma-
tive. Shortly after this, Miss Starr, the elocution instructor, took it into her head
to become Mrs. Gross and consequently the debaters were compelled to change coaches
in mid-season. Miss Zartman came to fill the position and proved herself a most
capable instructor. To finish something started by someone else is no easy job and
the way this was accomplished reflects great credit on Miss Zartman.
The subject for the year was, Resolved, That Minimum Wage Boards Should
Be Established in the Several States, Constitutionality Granted. The question offered
plenty of room for thought and was well adapted to bring out real debating qualities.
The season opened with the triangular between West High, East High and Cedar
Falls. The affirmative were defeated at Cedar Falls, while the negative walloped
East High 3 to o here. Cedar Falls, by defeating East High, won the contest.
The next debate occurred three weeks later between Cedar Rapids and West
High. The affirmative again traveled and again returned defeated. However, the
negative won 2 to i so that the decisions were even.
All the debaters were Seniors this year and there will, therefore, be no veteran
material for next year’s teams. However, there arc many promising “recruits,” so
that West High will probably not lack for a good, strong team.
The class of ’14 has been especially strong in debating. Seven members of the
class have received the “W” for debating, while three of them have received two
emblems. It is a record that the class can justly be proud of for up to date it has
never been equaled.
Declamation
The interest in declamation has not run as high this year as formerly because of
the fact that West High did not enter the annual Chicago University contest, leaving
but the one contest, between Cedar Falls, West High and East High.
The tryout for this latter contest was held shortly after Christmas vacation and
from it Howard Leighton emerged triumphant in the oratorical class, Doris Ludwig
in the dramatic, and Dorothy Davis in the humorous class. These people represented
West High in the triangular contest held January 31, and while they didn’t all win
first places, West High was proud of the showing made. Dorothy Davis, who won
first place in the humorous class, has since left West High for Chicago.

The Cyclone Club
The Cyclone Club, a voluntary organization consisting of the male students of
West High, was formed for practice in debate and the study of parliamentary law.
The fourth year of the club was started with a rush January 14, 1914, and things
were kept humming throughout the year. At one of the first meetings the members
of the club were divided into two sections, the “Dogs and Cats.” This division put
a spirit of friendly rivalry into the club and was a big factor in making the meetings
interesting and the attendance large.
The Board of Governors prepared a program for every Monday evening and
there were many excellent talks upon various subjects. The debates between the
members of the Dogs and Cats often became so exciting
that the Sergeant-at-Arms was called upon to quell the
disturbance which he always did in an efficient ( ?) manner.
In the first part of the year a committee was appointed
to draft a new constitution. The one which it submitted
to the club was very well written, and, after a few minor
changes had been made, was adopted by the club. The
principal change made in the new constitution was that
any male student of West High might become a member,
while he was formerly required to have seven credits.
The annual Cyclone public program was given April
13, 1914. The first part of the evening was taken up by
parliamentary practice so that the outsiders might get some
idea of the work done by the club.

“When a feller needs a friend” at West High he usually looks up Miss Gardner,
and, although she has plenty of troubles of her own, she is never too busy to give
assistance when it is needed. But for her efficient work in transcribing material the
____ members of the staff would all have writer’s cramp and not a few would be on the
road to Battle Creek or Independence, due to the strain of deciphering a weekly grist
of hieroglyphics. In lieu of other reward we wish to enroll her name here among
the Wise and Good and gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness.
Mr. Johnson
Another individual who has frequently been compelled to work overtime for
West High people is Mr. Johnson. A great many times during the year Mr. Johnson
has cheerfully come down evenings and opened the High School for Cyclone meetings,
class parties, practices and other evening events. So to him, also, is dedicated a
paragraph as a mark of sincere appreciation of his efforts to please.

Philomel Chorus
One of the strong points about West High is the number of musical organiza-

has always enjoyed a thriving existence and has improved from year to year. The
last two years, under the leadership
of results.
Early in the year the Philomel

chorus started with a large membership, but later, as Miss Bliss found it to be un-

In the fall of 1912, a Boy’s Glee Club was organized under the direction of Miss
Bliss, supervisor of music. The Club developed rapidly and since that time every
public program of the school has included a number by “The Boy’s Glee Club.”
They were billed for an active part in the commencement exercises, and have also
contributed generously to church functions, lodge meetings, parties, and amateur
shows. The members arc: 1st tenor, Maynard, Scroggy, Vincent; 2nd tenor,
Brown, Eason, Walker; 1st bass, Strayer, McDowell, Cole; 2nd bass, Davis, Daw-
son and Innes.
During the first year Marion Walker acted as pianist, while during the past
year the position was ably filled by Jack Leonard.
Music periods on Thursdays and Fridays arc generally consecrated to Glee Club
practice, and during these periods the upper halls arc crowded ( ?) with people drawn
there by the exquisite harmony floating through the keyhole of the music room.
During the latter part of the year considerable time was given to the practice
of songs suitable for serenades, and the club pulled off several undcr-thc-window con-
certs without casualties.
The prospects for next year are very good. Several boys have tried out all ready
to fill the vacancies created by the retiring Senior members. Much interest has been
shown and if continued, the Glee Club of 1914-15 will gain even more renown than
the one of this year. —R- A. C., ’14.

Senior Class Picnic
I'hc Senior picnic given in honor of the faculty on May 6th, was one of the
most successfid events of the year. Its success was probably due to the agreement
put into effect by the class, that no boy should escort a girl to the picnic. The plan
worked like a charm and moreover all the girls arrived safely at about 4 p. m., which
proves that they should be given the right of suffrage.
At the same time a launch filled with cats and four husky fellows, chugged
up the Cedar river to the old golf links, where the picnickers assembled. It is rumored
that two most dignified teachers and two more dignified Senior girls loitered on the
way at the Cedar River Park play grounds to teeter-totter and slide down the chutes.
Erminic R. created one of the great sensations of the day when she rolled down
hill, and other girls furnished amusement for the crowd by crawling under the barb-
wire fences.
The skillful boys made willow whistles and traded them to the girls for violets.
After an hour or two spent in various recreations the picnic site became an open
air cafeteria and each person prepared his own supper with the aid of a huge bonfire
and a forked stick.
At 6:30 the picnickers departed, all declaring that it had been a “gorgeous” affair.
Governor Hiram W. Johnson of Cal-
ifornia always has an amusing anecdote
to relate. One of his newest ones is as
follows:
“An Episcopal minister, who was the
rector of a very fashionable church in a
suburb, decided he could not be bothered
with the innumerable telephone calls
that fall to one of his profession. So he
had his name left out of the telephone
directory.
“A prominent merchant having the
same name and living in the same suburb
was continually annoyed by requests to
officiate at funerals and baptisms. He
finally asked the rector to put his name
back. But he was not successful.
“Since the rector wouldn’t, the mer-
chant decided to complain to the tele-
phone company. As he was writing the
letter, one evening, the telephone rang
twice, both times asking for the mins-
ter. Us patience was about exhausted
and just as he had settled himself, the
bell rang again. This time it was a
timid voice of a young man asking if the
Rev. Mr. Blank would marry him at
once.
“After a moment's hesitation, a happy
thought came to him. ‘No,’ he said, ‘I
can’t marry you tonight. I’m too
busy writing my sermons.

A College Education
A momentous question after graduating from High School is the question of a
college education. The majority decide that more education is unnecessary. Why?
It is true that while in college one earns little money and often runs into debt. But
yet, since it is an established fact that the college student makes more in the end, why
are not people willing to wait longer to get more? They say they cannot afford it.
But men without a cent to start with have earned their way through college. It is
not easy but it can be done and the individual is strengthened through the effort.
However, is not the reason rather the lack of real ambition? People want to be
successful but the few years’ sacrifice necessary to that succeess is enough to scare
them out.
In these, then, ambition must be cultivated.
There are others who do not recognize the possibilities of an extensive education.
To these the possibilities must be explained.
This is but one point of view—the financial advantages to be gained. There is
another—the view of people who want education for the sake of education itself. This
class is small, but it is a class that needs no urging to cause them to seek further
knowledge.
Through the High School this state of affairs may be changed for here it is
possible to teach everyone the advantages of more education. Why not see that
every student, while in High School, imbibes the desire for a college education even
if hard work is necessary to obtain it?
An Alumni Association
Each year the Senior class separates never to reassemble. A small per cent go
to college and there make more lasting friendships than are contracted in High School.
But the majority never attend a college, and consequently miss these deeper friendships
of school life. They have only the memory of those made in High School.
So, to favor the majority, why not make the High School friends permanent by
establishing a stable Alumni Association? If the class gathered once a year and went
over again their experiences together, not only woidd it be an eagerly anticipated event,
but it woidd also tend to create a bond of fellowship between the class members in
their different paths of life. Anyway, it has an alluring aspect.

Who's Who In West High.
Lavern Chapman, often mistaken for
a bean pole, ducked under the assembly
door of West High about the time hoop
skirts were in blossom. He decided that
Manual Training was the softest course
in sight, and took to it and soon became
a great contractor, constructing such edi-
fices as the Hotel Carpenter. However,
his most noble endeavors were in solid
geometry where he almost succeeded in
telling his teacher how to run things.
After graduating from his Alma Ma-
ter he became sports writer on the Hix
Bugle, which goes to illustrate what a
success he made as Athletic Editor of
the Spectator.

friend of his, a very’ steady and serious
country’ gentleman, who joined a metro-
politan club which offered the unusual
advantage of bedrooms for suburban
members during their visits to the city.
“When next he came to town he re-
paired to the club and put up for the
night. Now, as a matter of fact, some
time had elapsed since he had become a
member, and in the meantime the club
had become very fashionable, and its
hours correspondingly irregular. As was
his custom, my friend went to bed at an
early hour, when all was orderly and
the other members decorous and quiet.
‘‘The following morning he appeared
in the dining room at his accustomed
hour—8 o’clock—but to his astonish-
ment found all the tables devoid of cov-
erings and the room empty, except for
one uniformed attendant who was in the
middle of the dusting process. While he
was gazing around confusedly, a sleepy-
eyed waiter approached him.

ically, ‘but no suppers can be served after

A quietly dressed woman was arrang-

“Your name, please?” said the agent.
“Lucy Brown.”
“Arc you married ?”
“Occasionally.”
“I—I don’t think I quite understand,”

“I said occasionally,” repeated the

After trying unsuccessful!)' to open

“The Style is the Man”
So said a famous writer, and though he wasn’t think-
ing of clothes, he couldn’t have said a truer word if he had
been. Your style—your appearance, makes for or
against you. Style gives you prestige or “gives
you away.” It’s useless to fight against the snap and
judgment which the world forms from your style of dress-
ing. Remember, this is a busy little world. People
simply have to think quick, to judge off-hand. Be style-
wise, a patron of the store “where you are sure to

How dear to my heart are the days of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view,
The kitchen, the pantry and all that was in them,
When the instincts of youth possessed me and you.
The cookies, the tarts and the cakes with the frosting,
The bread and the rolls, too enticing to pass;
The pies and the jellies, and all the good “eatings”
Which mother prepared by her skill and with
“GAS.”

OPPORTUNITY
They do me wrong who say I come no more,
When once I knock and fail to find you in;
For every day I stand outside your door
And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.
Wail not for perished chances passed away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane!
Each night I burn the records of the day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that have fled;
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb.
My judgments seal the dead past with its dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.

Invest your savings in Real Estate
SAVE for higher education.
SAVE for a business or professional career.
SAVE a little money each week from the luxuries you don’t really need.
SAVE a little money each week from the luxuries you would be better
off without.
INVEST your weekly savings where they will grow; where you can
cash in your savings for two or three or four times the actual amount rep-
resented by your savings.
Savings invested in real estate are safely invested. Real Estate pays
the highest rate of interest.
Does it occur to you that an eminently practical and comparatively
easy way to obtain money in a lump sum for a higher education or for the
start in business is to begin, TODAY, saving and investing ONE DOLLAR
each week in real estate? At the expiration of three, four or five years
you can cash in your savings together with the sum representing the in-
crease in property value?
Three, four or five years hence property which now adjoins the city of
Waterloo will be within the city limits and should be worth three, four or
five times its present day value. Real estate is readily convertible into cash.
