Student Council OFFICERS—Seated: Harriet Bcrgcion. Ja Otegni, Tom Kaitmir, Judy Alford Standing: Paula Ewald. Jerry McNeal Achievement is, without doubt, the most popular word in the Southwest Student Council vocabulary. The many achievements of this year included: concession sales at football games: the raising of money for CARE: a clothing drive for the Save the Children Federation : and the annual Washburn-Southwest Leadership Conference. On the lighter side such events as Homecoming, an exchange dance with Washburn, and a Match-Me Hop were planned by the council and accepted by the student body with great enthusiasm. Some of the outstanding leaders were Tom Kass-mir, who was elected Vice President of the All State Student Council, and Ihleen Wold and Howie Cam-mack. who represented Southwest in the all-city student council. Southwest students wish to congratulate President Jay Dregni and advisor. Mr. Evan Haaheim. for the splendid 10b done in promoting activities for the general welfare of the school. •ottom DxireJ,LoSk,eM V • s Will,Row 2: T«d Colbum jerry Tom SMIma- Rob- -.cU Mu, Hume Row J: Tom Wendland.

 Has anybody watered the plants? This is the cry frequently heard from the News ' room. The reason for this is that the 1953 Arrow staff is no different from any previous staff with respect to raising plants. Aside from this, however, they have been very busy. This year's Arrows have been bigger and better than ever. There has only been one four page paper, with most Arrows averaging six pages. The staff feels that this is quite an accomplishment and are very proud of it. In order to have more money on hand for these bigger papers, the staff has sold pennants and bells at Homecoming, and collected money for ads. The majority of their finances come from the dues collected at the beginning of the semesters. Over the Thanksgiving vacation Judy Nelson. Evelyn Scheftel. and Janet Mikelson went to the National Press Conference in Chicago. They attended meetings and brought back many helpful hints which have aided the staff in putting out better papers. Upon question-ing. the girls will go into a long dissertation about the many things which they learned. Many sounds can be heard coming from the Arrow room on the day preceding a deadline. As the staff frantically tries to get their copy ready for the printer they create a rather wild bedlam. Although this occurs frequently the deadline is always met and the papers continue to come through better than ever. The efficiency of the staff and the helpfulness of their advisor, Mrs. Zittleman, are prime factors in this year's Arrows. EDITORS—Seated: Janet Mikelson.

Cheerleaders CHEER LEADERS—Fir t Row: Shirley Hoit, Ann Bonny Ann Sullivon. Second Row; Diane Lockrcm, Judy Mamie, Barbara Heller. Barbara Tclandcr. Not Pictured: Arlyn Brobcg. Southwest may once again boast the best in cheerleaders. As in previous years, this Student Council sponsored group has put pep and bounce into the many hockey, football, and basketball games. These girls, led by captain, Barbara Heller, have been cheerful and exuberant whether the team was winning or losing. As a reward for the cheerleaders’ efforts and hard work, the Student Council is looking into the possibility of getting new uniforms for the girls. A committee, composed of Howie Cammack and two non-cheerleaders, was appointed to look into the problem. It is hoped that by next year, the Southwest cheerleaders will have uniforms as nice as those of any school. After two years of service, cheerleaders are awarded a letter, given in their senior year. Shirley Hoit received a letter and Barbara Heller a star, this year. Tryouts, which were held in May, found competent girls and boys to take the place of the graduation seniors, and it looks like the 53-54 squad will be extremely capable. Flag Twirlers The presence of flag twirlers highlighted many athletic events in 1952. Twirling at Southwest hasn’t been attempted since 1949. During the summer, several girls were having a social get together and during their conversation came upon the idea of renewing flag twirling. They spoke to Mr. Mendenhall and he willingly agreed to coach them. After practicing many long hours during the summer months, their thoughts turned to uniforms. Purple and white in the form of pedal pushers and sweaters was adopted. These they made themselves. After they graduate, the girls plan to give the uniforms to the school, in hopes that flag twirling will become a tradition at Southwest.
