UPPER CLASS ADVISORY COUNCIL Le Roy Jacobson.......................President Donald Lonc...........................Vice-President Elizabeth Murphy .....................Secretary “Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control These three alone lead life to sovereign power. THE Upper Class Advisory Council has always stood for the highest interests and advancements of West High School. The Council was founded in 1022 by Charles W. Boardman for the purpose of working out a plan whereby extra curricular activities should be limited. Since this plan was devised, the Council has taken a most important part in the organization of West. Last year the Council helped with Green and White day. it took charge of several auditoriums, and it has sponsored ways to keep West clean. The Council tries to uphold the honor and integrity of the school. It holds together the Upper Classes and gives the A Juniors more voice in running the school. In this way, it prepares lower classmen to step into the places left vacant by graduating Seniors. Members of the Council are elected from the A Junior Class and both Senior Classes. When once elected, a member holds ofiice until graduation, providing he remains in his class. By this plan, the Council is kept intact from term to term. Four members are elected from the A Junior Class, six from the B Senior Class, and ten from the A Senior Class, making a total of twenty members. The officers are chosen from the different classes; the president from the A Seniors, the vice-president from the B seniors, and the secretary from the A Juniors. Mwli. Jacob«on, Lonc. Cranpmx.

THE SCRIPT Ruth Snyder.................................President Marc ah et Euason...........................Vice-President Charlotte Larson............................Secretary RllS Owre...................................Treasurer “ sing of new countries and new cities, I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes—” uXTOISY” is an adjective which can never he applied to The Script. A n more quiet group of students cannot lie found—hut that does not mean that the club does not accomplish anything, or turn out prominent students. On the contrary, the club has turned forth, in its five short years of existence from 1920 to 1925, three of the five Hesperian editors, two editors of the West High Weekly, many members of the Hesperian and Weekly board and staff; two valedictorians, and many all-around students. In actual projects, the club has also been singularly active and successful. It originated the “Eagle Feather” column in the West High Weekly, which contains the meritorious work of members and also of student non-members. Through its influence, the literary quality of all West High publications has steadily improved and, as Miss Lulu B. Utley, faculty adviser of the West High Weekly, says, “The Script has raised the literary content of the Weekly to a place where it is praised by the entire country.” By making a collection of student verse from all parts of the United States, to be published by a New York book house, the Club has made itself nationally famous. This anthology, edited by Elmer Fehlhaber and Harold Burton, is now in the process of assimilation. When finished, it will be the first anthology of student verse to appear in this country.

 3 GIRLS' “W” CLUB Anne McDoneix.............................President Lillian Franklin..........................Vice-President Leslie Hopper.............................Secretary and Treasurer Are they not more than painting can express Or youthful poets fancy when they love? EACH year seems to find the Girls' 4 W” Club membership growing smaller. Girls’ athletics have been promoted a great deal this year and we hope that this promotion will help to add a few members to the Girls’ “W” Club. A girl must earn six hundred points in the various sports offered to win her “W” and a membership in the “W” Club. We arc sure that the girls at West who are fully alive and who are interested in athletics will do all in their power to make West a real representative of girls’ athletics. We are constantly making innovations. New sports such as horse back riding and field hockey have been added to our already long list of activities. Girls who participate in the sports offered will soon become members of the “W” Club and the proud owners of a “W.” Later they may win the greatest honor of all, a silver loving cup. In the fall of each year new officers arc elected for the club to serve throughout the year and then alternately the meetings are held at the homes of the members. When a girl becomes an active member, through initiation, she receives a gold pin in which the “W” is engraved. If this year finds new members in all lines of sport the “W” Club, too, will find new members. With the support of the girls at West all of this project will come true. Since athletics for girls is almost an indispensable attribute of modern civilization, we see no reason why the Girls' “W” Club should not increase and prosper. Post.
