With thirty organizations from which to choose, most of us had no problem in selecting clubs suitable to us, ones in which we could feel comfortable. The groups we chose were a reflection of ourselves, and these groups, in turn, were a reflection of West. With the majority of the student body being involved in Pep Club, it wasn't hard for other schools to observe the awesome spirit we projected. Our directions led some to large groups, and others to smaller ones, but in one respect, we were the same. We saw the opportunities at West and took advantage of them. We became involved.
