FRESHMAN OFFICERS FRESHMAN CLUB Wilhelm Heegaard Lionel Moses Helen Quinn Miss O'Gordon - President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Last September the F reshmen, acting upon a suggestion from Mr. Jordan and the Forum, organized into a club for the first time in the history of the school. The Freshies showed their appreciation of the privilege by turning out one hundred strong at the first meeting. The officers elected were as follows: Wilhelm Heegaard. president; Helen Cook, vice-president; Beulah Stinchcomb. secretary. Miss O’Gordon and Mr. Bryant were appointed as faculty advisers by Mr. Jordan. As soon as rules and regulations for the club were decided upon, plans for a social gathering were considered. The entertainment which followed proved to be a great success. During the fall months, meetings were held every two weeks and all were well attended. When the new term began, it was voted that the B. Freshmen be admitted into the club. At the next election Wilhelm Heegaard was again chosen president, with Lionel Moses vice-president and Helen Quinn secretary. Miss O’Gordon took charge of the funds. During this first year the organization was a marked success and proved to be a valuable addition to the school. The possibilities of this club are very great and we hope that the following Freshman classes will do their best to develop this organization into one of the livest bodies in the school. 12 WILHELM HEEGAARD.

s O P H O M O R E OFFICERS SOPHOMORE CLUB Donald Bostyvick Doris Duryea . -Hazel Moren Frank Roos President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sometime during the early part of the first semester, someone, through the columns of the “Weekly, challenged the class spirit of the Sophomores. The query was, why, since the Freshmen had their club, and the Juniors and Seniors their class organizations, the Sophomores didn’t go and do likewise, and manifest some signs of life, instead of making a noise like a graveyard. The criticism was timely, and the Sophomores owe their journalistic critic a debt of gratitude; for a group of girls got their blonde and brunette locks into close proximity and laid the foundation of what is now a real honest-to-goodness club. The apparent slowness of the Sophomores to take up the matter of club formation was not due to lack of loyalty to West High, but because of their lack of understanding of the greater good to be accomplished through united and systematized effort. But since the formation of the club, the individual members have found themselves and have begun to appreciate their relation to the student body as a whole, and to understand what true democracy means. The club is a levelcr. It has promoted class spirit in every way possible; it has demonstrated that the Sophomores are a class of unity. In having this for its aim, the Sophomore Club makes no apology for coming into being. 1-1 DONALD BOSTWICK.
