CLASSES Lite at school begins with the sound of the 8:30 bell as l300 Freshmen, Sopho- mores, luniors, and Seniors enter the gates ot West Seattle, prepared for a day of Work and play. To the Freshmen, West Seattle is a new experience that they aren't quite used to yet, tor the Sophomores and luniors, the school is not so big as it seemed before as they are now better acquainted with their teachers and activities. To the Seniors, for Whom graduation time is drawing near, the day is filled with hard Work and service. The war has tapped many a boy on the shoulder this year and carried him oft to tight a war ot freedom tor mankind. But as long as the 8:30 bell can be heard above the roar oi War, West Seattle will open its doors to all classes.

total stamp sales per capita and the percent of participation for the entire school is kept for each week. The Research committee, headed by Ray lensen, is required to compile all available material concerning the war savings program and to report any new ideas that would spur the sale of stamps and bonds. At the present, the suggestion for a compe- tition between another high school besidesVV est Seattle is under consid- eration, and it is hoped that in the near future this plan will be a reality. The next committee's title is self- explanatory. The Publicity is under the leadership of Leroy Layton. lts function is not a consistent one, yet it is one of great importance. lts main task is to see that the student body is well informed as to the activities of the War Savings division and, through the various mediums of ac- tivity of publicity, such as the Chi- nook, the bulletin, etc. to spur the sale of stamps. lt is not the aim of this division, however, to encourage the spontaneous purchase of stamps by continuous drives, but rather to see a system of consistency on the part of the students. ln order to sus- tain this, the student council has adopted a plan of a 50 cents per cap- ita for each week, thus, in awarding the leep each week, the winning roll is determined solely on a percentage basis. The Sophomores, with Frank Young as their chairman, are in charge of Salvage. Their class was ff K I fi Ll l T rf' ,N I, ,.f 1 1 f ' yf'-'f X-' ,- 1, , ,,,, very active this year with their many campaigns. Cne of the most success- ful of these campaigns was the Civil War. The school was divided into sides, the North and the South. Mr. Fulton was the Northern general, while the Southern commander was Mr. Rowe. After an exciting battle, it was found that the Northern forces won by three-fourths of a battle! The Sohpomores also handled the fat drives, our weekly tin drives and the paper drive. - The Freshmen, who are in charge of Community Service, are headed by Mary Flack, since they had no representative of their own when they first came to West Seattle. Al- though they haven't had much time for anything but the planning of their committees, they show promise of developing into one of the corps' most active contributors. The four divisions mentioned above have been handled by the four class- es, however, the fifth division is handled by an individual. This divi- sion is Morale, with Frank Csbun as its capable head. This simplified form of the Corps with its five divisions has proved its worth, and the Victory Corps has be- come one of the smoothest working of all school organizations, through the combined efforts of Pop Hanna- ford and the division chairmen, as well as the students, who have taken an active part in the school's war effort. ! l i ' . - y IA, ' f' ' E181 Wx xr: .f 1 4 - - ...,,. -,i, Q 21 , x X ,I f -L ' F , , Y .Q .Y L, ' f
