“W” CLUB The “W” Club was organized with the intention of promoting in all ways and at all times the best interests of high school athletics. With this thought in mind, we must consider the chief aims of athletics, which we believe to be the development of such basic qualities as courage, determination, co-operation, self-control, and that almost indefinable thing which we call sportsmanship. Our aim is not only to promote better athletics, but that we might better ourselves in Forensics and also scholastic abilities. Students receiving the letter “W” must have earned it in any of the following: Football, Basketball, Track, 650 points in Girls’ Athletics, Debate, Oratory, Declamatory, Static Staff, Cheer Leader or in Scholarship. Motto: “Success.” Back Row (Left, to Right) : Faye Johnston, Corinne Higley, Irma Judd.

CLA €? GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Directed by Miss Hankins and Miss Benson, the girls started this year’s work with volley ball practice. This was continued through the first semester. Due to lack of time, no tournament was held, much to the disappointment of the girls. Each of the girls, however, received their points to help secure their letters. At the beginning of the second semester, basketball was taken up, the tournament being held in April. The girls then participated in track and baseball for the remainder of the year. Some of the Senior girls by their diligence earned their athletic letters this year. Our Freshman team was challenged by the Junior High girls to contests in both volleyball and basketball. Each time they have come out victorious. Back Row (Left to Right): A. Kerns, L. Decker, F. Johnston, G. Carpen- ter, C. Schroeder, R. Tuttle, C. Skelton, E. Stock, H. Jefferies, R. Sturtevant, M.

 HIGH SCHOOL PAPER This paper had its beginning about Nov. 1, 1929, with Miss Hankins acting as general manager and overseer, and staff members as follows: Editor-in-Chief...................Lee Thomas Assistant Editor...............Nathan Mohler Sport Editor....................Pansy Dimick Feature Editor................Corinne Higley Feature Editor...................Boyd Woods Joke Editor....................Howard Stinnette Reporter........................Audra Kerns Reporter......................Lucille Decker The general meeting of the staff was on Wednesday evening at 3 :30. Then all the articles had to be prepared and typed off and sorted—all ready to be received at the office of the Wauneta Breeze on Monday morning. We surely appreciate the service of the Wauneta Breeze, for it was through their courtesy that we were able to put out our little paper. The name which was chosen for the paper was “High School Static.” There were several names suggested and submitted but this one was selected almost unanimously by the student body as a group. We had an exchange department with several schools in this part of the state (including Benkelman, Parks, and Harvard). The student body have responded to the privilege of helping out the staff by feeding the Static box in the assembly and their contributions are appreciated very much. Sixteen
