 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.

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.

Herman Meiu Harry Thomas Alton Harvey W”CLUB President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer “Whoe'er excels in ivhat we prize. Appears a hero in our eyes.'' AMONG the various local institutions, the “W” Club represents one of the most important organizations of West. This club was founded soon after the school had begun to participate in high school athletics, and has grown steadily until the present membership has increased to the large number of seventy-five members. The purpose of the club was to encourage and to boost athletics in every possible way, but today the members stand ready to help the school at any time they are called upon for service. The members represent practically every organization of West, and through this unity they have done their best to help the school in every way that they can. When an athlete receives his first letter, he becomes a member of the “W” club, and is then permitted to have all the privileges of a member and to wear the “W” pin. A “W” is a reward for faithful work and for success in the various branches of sports. 'l'he inter-class basketball trophy which was presented to the school by the “W” Club to encourage inter-class basketball, was the cause of a great deal of anxiety and excitement this year. The trophy was awarded to the Junior class which came out with a clean slate after playing good, hard basketball in all of their games. This trophy has been a great assistance in reviewing pre-season material for the basketball team. Ro»», Wunuc, Reabmax, Mattvjx. Faibbaxks, Rabton. C.b» «». Joiixetox. Fixxicax. Feioy, Errix.
