The WEST HIGH WEEKLY has completed its ninth successful year in the Held of high school journalism. The Weekly started in 1915 with a four column paper and has grown to its present size of seven columns. In 1920 and 1921 the Weekly carried off first honors in the contest held by the Central Interscholastic Press Association for the best high school paper in the United States. It tied for this same honor in the decision of the Wisconsin judges in 1922 and 1923. In spite of frequent changes in the editorial board, the Weekly has attempted to publish news of interest to the whole school, and although many of the workers will graduate this June, those who follow’ will strive to maintain past standards. -VL Page Seventeen

I rnler the leadership of George Langford, the first president, and including such members as Bill Meili, Roger Gurley, and John Weber, the organization originated the point system for the purpose of limiting the activities to which a student may engage in, and started the practice of assisting at various auditorium programs. Beginning with the fall of 1923 the Upper Class Advisory was organized with the following officers: Margaret Murray, president; Russell Brackett, vice president; Helen Swain, secretary. It was during this semester that the Upper Class Advisory Council perfected the point system by changing the number of points for each activity. Another feature which it is hoped will come to mean more and more to West High School was the sponsoring of the adoption of an original creed which would seem to embody both the aims and aspirations of every class at West. After a careful consideration by the judges of the many creeds which were submitted by the students at large, the creed written by Earl Gcisen was selected, as it seemed to contain the sincerest expression. Another movement fostered by our group was the idea of specially rewarding the senior who shows marked abilities. William MacRae, President. Page Eight ten
