 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

“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.

Wauneta lost to Benkelman in the first round and Imperial defeated Indianola by a close margin. Benkelman won over Imperial in the finals and were announced Valley winners. Our Declamatory department made a favorable showing this year and we competed in all sections, namely, Humorous, Dramatics, Oratorical, and Extemporaneous. Phyllis Kitt represented us in our Oratorical, Kenneth McGooden in the Humorous, and Mildred Lawrence in Dramatics. Our one-act plays, given by various students for credit, have received no small recognition and lastly and foremost comes our Junior and Senior plays. The Junior play, “Apple Blossom Time,” brought a house full of laughter, and the Seniors in “All Night Long” furnished mystery with fun. r Seventeen
