For another year the GirIs' CIub has pIayed a constructive part in buiIding toward the future of each girI who has done work in this de- partment. I-Iere the officers, com- mittee heads, and the girls who voI- unteered to help in various groups have applied their abiIities to work together. It is through Work of this nature that a girI can acquire poise, and, especially so after she has suc- cessfully planned a special assem- bly, one of the Iarge teas or ban- quets, or seen that a drive, such as those for sIeep and creeds, has been completed. Throughout I940-I 941 the Girls' CIub has Worked cIoseIy with the Boys' Club in organizing the school year. Under the aus- pices of both groups, we have heard many weII known speakers Whose subjects were of great interest to each of us. Besides this, the Girls' Club has worked in cooperation with the American Red Cross by organizing a knitting group which furnished many sweaters for reIief of the needy. It is in GirIs' CIub Work that We find the Ieaders and potentiaI Ieaders of West Seattle High.

The educated person, they say, is one who knows some- thing about everything and everything about something. This means that he has at least a nodding acquaintance with many subjects, and has made himself a specialist in one line. Notice we say-'has made himself'--, and I think advisedly, for the process of becoming educated does not consist in being spoon fed. You can establish prestige for yourself by successfully do- ing things. There is a relationship between being a good cashier in the lunchroom and becoming a cashier in a bankg there is a relationship between being in charge of ticket sales and head of a department in Penney'sg there is a relationship between keep- ing score at athletic contests and being a reporter for a large newspaperg there is a relationship between working in our en- gine room and being a mechanicg there is a relationship between being a model aeroplane builder and working at Boeing'sg there is a relationship between being a debater and becoming a mem- ber of our state legislature. How are you gaining prestige or giving yourself background? E. J. L1sToN.

W o r k i n g in close connection with the Girls' Club, the Boys' Club has again been of great importance to each person who has participated in these group activities. It is to this part of our school that we owe special praise for the peppiest pep assemblies in the city. To the War- riors and the Transportation Com- mittee We extend thanks for seeing that our Thanksgiving and Christ- mas baskets Were distributed. We are especially grateful to the latter group, because it not only worked at regular times, but was of service to the school throughout the year. Other groups included in the Boys' Club are the Athletic Coun- cil, Athletic-Scholastic Committee, Thursday Morning Club, Yell Squad Cresponsible for the excel- lent assemblies and the cheer lead- ing at the gamesl, Projector Com- mittee, Which was of great use to West Seattle classes--Safety, Pa- trol, Warriors and other groups which prepared special programs and banquets. A fairly successful attempt has been made to organize an interschool Boys' Club in order that the various schools might work more together.
