I . ARTS Sc COMMERCIAL West Seattle's commercial department offers a wide field for commercial training. Book- keeping, typing, shorthand, penmanship, and office practice, are taught to make well rounded. efficient business men and women. These students will be able to step out into the business world after hnishing high school to help the wheels of business roll smoothly. Cars are repaired, houses planned, useful wooden articles made, and posters painted in the industrial department. In auto shop, students' and faculty's cars are taken apart, repaired, and put together again by fledgling mechanics, learning a trade which will soon mean money in the bank to many of them. Boys in wood shop make beautiful and useful things for the school and their own personal use. Here they learn an art which may become a vocation or an avocation for many skilled boys. In architectural drawing classes, students learn the fundamentals of drawing and making plans for houses. Machine drawing teaches the interpreta- tion of plans and reading of blueprints, all of which are important in the industrial Held. Ink tracing is also an important part of their learn- ing by preparing pupils for blue print draft- ing, essential in the field of industry. Lettering and silk screen classes make most of the posters, signs, and decorations for the school. These students combine their artistic talents with their lettering ability to produce outstanding posters. INDUSTRIAL Ants, Mr. Chamberlain S0041 511141725 Sfieflfe Social Studie! Sm-ia!

ST DE T COUNCIL Seated at desk--Mr. Hannaford, Advisor When a student feels something is wrong with the way his government is functioning and has an idea for making it more effective, he need not merely wish that something be done about it- he takes action. Regardless of race, creed, or color, he need only observe the right to speak his mind out and, together with his roll president, have the desired issues brought before the Student Council. The Student Council, which has the legis- lative power over all matters relating to the student body, is composed of the president of each roll and four representatives from the study hall, one for each class. The council members are elected for the term of one semes- ter, and their accomplishments are published in a school government paper called Smoke Signals. The Student Council meetings are led by the Student Body President Bill Long. He is aided by the vice president Roger Young, who is also the direct representative of the Student Cabinet. Members of the Student Cabinet, the prin- cipal and all faculty members may present their views on all matters, but may not vote. All members of the Student Council have 16 Standing-Bill Long, Student Body President the right to introduce legislation. A member of the student body may have the right to speak before the Council or introduce legislation upon invitation of the Student Body president, by a majority vote of the Council or upon pres- entation of a petition signed by ten per cent of the Student Body. In West Seattle, democracy is a working word, not just four syllables that fall fiat and meaningless on our tongues. It is a strong word. and our practice as citizens starts right here in our student government where we learn the use of liberty and democracy-not just the sound of words. With the helpful leadership of C. H. Han- naford and the high aims of the council- West Seattle has a strong organization. The Student Council is continuously striving toward its goals of making the Council the nucleus of an active student body, and through the legis- lation it passes to make the Cooperative Gov- ernment a more effective part of every student's life. Its ultimate goal is to help the entire stu- dent body to assume more responsibility as cit- izens of society and to make them realize that student government is not a weapon of a few. but a servant of all.
