Expectations

"The Westerner" has gone to
press! Now that the year book is
being printed everyone breathes a
sigh of relief.
This book is going to live up to
the expectations of every person in
Western High School, as Miss
Houghton. an authority on the
matter, has been heard to say that
THE Westerner" OF 1922 is the
most perfect year book that she
has ever seen at Western.
Numerous group pictures OF
school activities and many peril
nent snapshots OF famous West
erners have been inserted in the
book to make 1t of interest to all
students.
One of the most entertaining fea-
lures of the book is the humor sec
ton, containing a large number Of
local jokes with clever illustrations.
In order to provide for those who
are late in turning in their sub
scriptions ten extra copies are being
printed. If you have not already
signed up place your order in room
108 at once.

Wiley Reads
Shakespeare

Last Thursday morning DIR. Earle
Whitley, minister OF the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church and
Shakespearean scholar Of note
gave very excellent talk on
Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth,
to all the English classes now
studying that play.
DIR. Whitley first dwelt on most
Of the important questions that
arise from reading Macbeth" an
swering all of them to his audi
enCe's great satisfaction. He then
gave short sketches of the charac-
ters of Macbeth and Lady Mac
beth and the significance Of the
sleep-walkfng scene, giving his
opinion that the greatest tragedy
of the play is the estrangement
beweent husband and wife. He
drew his great lesson from Mac
beth that our ambition in life
should be as high as possible and
that we should use only the right
methods of its attainment.
Then, opening his Macbeth" DR..
Whitley gave two exceedingly well
executed readings-one that includ-
ed Macbeth's famous soliloquy in
Act l, and the other the sleep
walking scene from the last act.

High Hopes

The die has been cast. the order
of companies for the competitive
drill Is decided. Fate was kind to
CentraIs companies. when the
officers drew lots for the order
in which they were to appear on
the competitive drill field. This
year 1t is Centrars turn to have
the majority Of her companies drill
on the second day: so the other
schools drew for positions on the
first day.
Just previous to the regular
drawing. Central's companies drew
among themselves for exhibition
company from Central. Company
F. under command OF Captain Par
ry, was the lucky company and
will appear as Centrals exhibition
company.
Then came the exciting time.
The rest of the companies drew for
positions. The results were as fol-
lows:
Second day
First Company-Company X.
Second Company-Company A.
Third Company-Company E.
Fourth Company-Company d.
Fifth Company-Compan NJ.
Sixth Company-Company B.
Seventh Company-Compan c.

Garden Spade
Guarded By
CentraIiteS
BY JACK DeGOLIA.

The most treasured instrument
in the vaults of Centrars office Is
a common garden spade.
1t does not symbolic the inter
est Central's students are supposed
to take in agriculture, nor Is II
talisman of war gardens or a tool
of hard labor symbolizing the ardu-
Gus work that goes on within Cen
trails classic halls. Neither is II
used to improve the stadium, nor
to shake-up the many potted plants
in the various laboratories and
conservatories.
To make a long story short, this
spade is the one that was used
back in March, 1914, to break the
first ground for the erection OF the
great Central High School. 1t is
the most treasured valuable in the
office of MIR. Maurer, who, with
Miss Coolidge. Mr.. Miller and many
Of Centrals teachers (and some
OF her students) were witnesses 10
the imposing ceremony.
The real story behind this spade
has only recently been unearthed,
as it was evidently kept a solemn
secret between the above-mention-
ed persons. Let us emphasize the
lack Of officiousness in this spade,
1t being of the most lowly, common
garden variety. without any gold
plate or silver lining to improve
the severely simple lines Of it.
Furthermore, 1t hasn't been used
since, and it doesn't look, either,
as IL 1t were new when first used.
So we had best kee. secret the
fact that the ground for our
magnificent emporium of learning
was broken by a second hand gar
den spade. Who was the prophet
that made the wise saw about big
things having a small beginning?

Stirring Message
From B. H. Leader
To District Cadets
BY ALFRED McGARRAGHY.

The greatest time Of the school
year, the competitive drill, will
soon be here, and we ask this
question OF you: Have you done
your best for the advancement of
cadets? II you are a cadet, have
you attended drill every drill day,
and on those days did you work
with the right spirit? Have you
obeyed the commands OF your
superior officers and co-operated
with them for the betterment OF
the company? II you are not a
cadet. have you boosted the cadets
every chance you've had, and have
you done everything in your
power to increase the attractive.
ness OF drilling? II you cannot
answer yes to these questions you
have not been true. II your
answer is yes. keep 1t up until
that memorable event, the Com
petitive Drill.
II you have not done all in
your power toward the advance
ment OF the companies. turn over
a new leaf. Resolve that from
this day on you will change your
policy-that you will put your
self out just a little for the cadets,
and will do or say something to
inspire them with the thought tnat
the school is backing them.
Men in the companies, work
every day with only one thought
in your mind, that Of the dav
when your captain will walk up
before the judges. receive the con-
gratulations Of all as captain OF
the winning company and have
that little red ribbon pinned on
his chest. Think OF your sergeant
walking up and receiving that old
and much honored banner. bring
ing it and hanging IT in the hall
Of your school.
II is a great honor to win the
drill, the greatest honor OF the
school year, and Business can win
II we all do our best to help our
. companies to the achievement OF
that goal, the first place in The
Drill.

Western Golfers
Making Records

There is one sport at Western,
which, although it has not been
officially recognized as a pre-
scribed activity of the school, has
one of the most enthusiastic
followings possible. The game is
golf. Not only is 1t very popular.
but in the golffng ranks at West.
orn there are some coming stars.
One of the widest known at this
time is Karl Kellerman, jr., who
was one of the representatives of
the Bannockburn Club in the
Washington Country Club tourna-
ment held recently. Karl, despite
the fact he is only thirteen, quail
fled with a score of 81, surpass-
ing his father by one stroke.
Another coming tournament
star is Russell Jewell. This lad
plays the Washington Country
Club course in close to par fig
ures every time and has been
the winner of several prizes in
Washington. He entered in
the Chevy Chase tournament
held the 18th of May and again
gave a good exhibition Of his
skill.
At the other courses, many
prominent in Western school life
nlay, among whom are Bo Lanmr,
Jack Weellon, Nelson Jeffress,
John Baird, Ned Hannegan, and
Conny Eisinger.
With the supply Of material
now at Western. a first class golf
team could be formed and
matches with other schools in this
vicinity might be arranged. There
is no reason why golf should not
become a recognized sport at
Western and II the students
brought this matter to the atten.

ed day at the beginning Of the
excursion season and made
merry, renewed old friendships
and made new acquaintances.
Each year the attendance has
been larger than the one before

ABSENCE EXCUSED.
The absence of students from
school who attended the excursion
were excused, and, to encourage
a large crowd for an all-day picnic.
a series of special features were
planned for continuous amusement
throughout the day. John Reilly,
president Of the four-year class of
1921, was chairman of the special
features committee, and he put TO
good use the valuable experience
which he gained as chairman in
charge of the vaudeville show held
last January. Among the features
was a bathing suit contest for girls,
pie-eating contest, string-eating
contest, novelty dancing. an Ha-
waiian string instrument troupe,
boxing match two negroes in bar
rels), and a fireworks display.
The fireworks display, which was
carried out at intervals throughout
the evening, included set pieces Of
novel design which appealed spe-
cially to Business High people.
Athletic events were not over
looked, and Wilford Proyer, who
received his letter in all sports
while attending school. had ar
ranged a most interesting program.
A tug-of-war, rifle match between
girls and boys teams, relay race
between cadet company teams. po-
tato race for girls, and semester re-
lay (mixedl were included in the
days events.
Free dancing completed the pro-
gram both during the day and
evening and a specially augmented
orchestra assured its success.
