Lbbt....................Faculty Adviser OOD things come in small packages. This time worn state-merit may be well applied to the Round Table. Although our membership is small, consisting of Juniors and Seniors of good scholarship who are willing to assist in the library one period a day, we feel that our organization takes a most active part in the every day life of West. Aside from our assistance to Miss Feet, we have started a permanent library repair fund; we have given a successful sunlight; and we have attempted to bring to the school the value of a well regulated and well used library as an aid to concentrated study. We have monthly business meetings during which the problems that arise daily are discussed and remedies offered. We also have one social function in the home of some member. Our new members are usually taken in during the fall of each year and the activities of the club start immediately. At present we have only eight members, but intend to take in new members to take the place of those who graduate in June. Formerly teachers directed the study in each period, but this year a decisive step toward student government has been taken in the placing of the students on their own honor while in the library.

In order to win a “W” and to be a member of the Girls’ “W Club a girl must earn six hundred points. This means that she must go out for several branches of athletics, for two hundred points is the largest number of points that can be earned in one sport. In the fall of each year an initial meeting is held for the election of officers and initiation of new members. At this meeting the plans for the work of the club are laid out and discussed. Regular monthly meetings arc held at the homes of the members of the club. The first of the meetings is devoted to business; afterwards refreshments are served and the remainder of the afternoon is spent in dancing. With the growing interest in girls’ athletics and the increasing number of “W” winners we have every reason to believe that in the near future our organization will be able to boast of as large a membership as the boys’ “W” Club.

In the fall, soon alter the election of officers, the activities of the club immediately began, and the club gave a very successful sunlight in the girls’ gym. The proceeds from this sunlight were used to buy a basketball trophy. The purpose of this trophy was to create class spirit in inter-class basketball games. The first winners of this coveted award were the sophomores, who won after a series of hard elimination games. With the graduation of Richard Sawyer and several other prominent athletes this winter, new officers were chosen. Leigh Altfillisch was elected president, John Conway, vice president, and Joe Gitlin, secretary. The “W” Club in its efforts to exert its influence and energies throughout the school has offered Mr. Boardman its services to aid in keeping the corridors and rooms in good order. This year a pin also was adopted as an emblem, consisting ol a small green enamel “W on a white background. This pin is now being worn by the members as a permanent insignia of the organization. It is the hope of the club that next year the work and organization will be completed with the same success as was encountered this year and that its possibilities as an aid to a better West will he seen by its members and by the school.
