DEDICATED TO ROY SHERMAN STOWELLWITH GRATITUDE FOR HIS WISE GUIDANCE, WITHPRIDE IN HIS SCHOLARLY ATTAINMENT, WITH AFFECTION FOR HIM AS AGOOD FRIEND, THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTEEN, WITH PLEASURE, DEDICATES THIS BOOK TO ROY SHERMAN Class HistoryThe Class of June, 1915, has been a wonderful class.Although not thelargest class that has been graduated from West High, it makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. Its ability as a class has been shown in various ways, such as athletics, musical clubs, debating, chess and all other school activities.Although we had several set-backs we feel sure that we have had in Lawrence Elwell a competent basketball manager. With Foster Yawger in basket ball, Norman Ulp in track, Horace Webb, Celeste DeSeck, Beatrice Morrison and Florence Clark in debating, Judson Glen and Charles Lakeman in chess, as well as being well represented in the other activities, we feel that our efforts have not been in vain.It seems almost impossible that only four years ago we entered West High as "dear little freshmen."For safety the girls wore their rubbers while the boyscarried their caps as well as their books, and with an important air we rushed wildly about the building in search of our class rooms, affording amusement to our senior brothers and sisters.However, toward the close of our freshman year we organized our class and elected our first officers as well as selected our pin.Then came the secondyear and according to the custom of the school wegave our Sophomore dance in the corridors of the building.We pride ourselvesin saying that, although this was the last dance held in school it was socially and financially a great success.Then, too, as Sophomores we gave tableaux in ourassembly which marked the same success as our first social event.Then in the next year of our high school life we were called upon to display our dramatic ability.Under the direction of Mrs. Ellis we presented LadyGregory's "Spreading the News," in which Esther McCrossen, as leading lady, proved a star. The other parts were well taken by the remainder of the cast and everyone who saw it enjoyed it. During the same year we gave our Junior Prom held at Sibley Hall. It was well attended and we remember it as a delightful occasion.Soon we came to the glorious Senior year to which we had all looked for-ward, and with pleasure as well as importance we took our place.As Seniors our first undertaking was a reception to the Faculty. After this the senior classes jointly gave a Minstrel Show and a playlet. John Howard, as interlocuter, and Norman Ulp, Robert Morrison, Seldon Howell and Horace Webb as end men were decidedly clever. Norman Ulp's make-up in general wasunique.We consider that the girls' playlet was very amusing.Our last senior event was our Senior dance held in the building. The music was delightful, and the affair was very well managed in every particular.With satisfaction we can look back on this year as being very eventful in a great many ways. Our young men and women have kept up to the standard on which West High has always prided itself. Our hearts swell with pride as we think of our many victories.Although we realize that the crowning glory of our school life is graduation, with it is mingled the sorrow of leaving." Mid pleasures and palaces we often will sighFor the good times and friendships at our old West High."MARJORIE JOHNSON. All photographs were taken by us. ©AsheyBrush We photograph the items we sell.
