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.

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.

President l ice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser LAST September before school opened there was a group of West boys who attended Camp Icaghowan at Cireen Lake, near Chisago City. They were there three days, and during that time they formulated plans for the making of a better Hi-Y Club at West. A membership of about forty boys was built up around this group in the months that followed. A helpful program was arranged with some notable speakers listed for the different meetings. Twelve delegates attended the Older Boys’ Conference held at Mankato, from November 30 to December 2. I bis was the largest group that the club had sent for several years. One of the club members, Russell Brackett, was honored by being elected vice president of the conference. It was decided after the conference that the club needed a more varied program, and with the opening of the winter term a new and successful program was launched. Three sets of discussions led by capable leaders were arranged. The publication of the Hi-Y-An, a handbook of West High School, was attempted in February for the second time. It was received very well by the student body, especially by the Freshman group. It was intended that the book should prove to be of the greatest value to them. It is the hope of the club that this publication may be put out annually. Avery Moore, President. Page TwfittyTkree
