The standards of girls' athletics here at Westport were certainly elevated with the adoption of the W, This is partly due, of course, to the fact that successful candidates must fulfill certain difficult re- quirements of scholarship as well as ath- letic attainment. The following four requirements must be met before a girl is eligible to receive a W : 1. Excellent in athletic performance. 2. Show good sportsmanship and team spirit. 3. Carry an average of M grades with no F's both during the term in which the W is won and the preceding term. 4. Be present at at least three-fourths of the practice periods. The following are the W winners in the four sports: HOCKEY:. Elizabeth Ernmert, Marjorie Powell, Alice Hafer, Harriet Chittenden, Caroline Robertson. BASKETBALL: Winifred Moore, Elizabeth Dietrich. Virginia Jackson. Lula Canada, Helen Decker. Peggy Moore. Ruth Butin, Hazel Munden. BASEBALL: Nona Joyce, Margaret Dale, Dorothy Block. Grace Phillips. Vivian Law. TENNIS, HOCKEY AND BASKETBALL: Martha Wil- liamson. Lela Jesse. ,lg , ..l,4- 1--.L, I . i- ' ,Y

Could other words ex- press our love and delight at the fond memories of what she has done, and the strength she has shown? The class of '20 has developed some- thing far greater than monuments, and as wonderful as the stars, a subtle thing, yet a tremendous power. Something for our younger and less experienced breth- ren to ponder on, something to carry for- ward! And that thing is-the old West- port spirit. That unquenchable spirit has added a new meaning to Esse Quam Videri. Away back in nineteen-nineteen we showed the stuff of which we were made, and everybody knew that '20 was des- tined to rise to heights that would leave no doubt as to her future success. And these prognostications have been realized in our leadership in all the school activi- ties. Led by that elusive line-Wrecker, Cap- tain Jack Haas, and seven other huskies of '20, our foot ball team swept all before it, and when the dust of battle had set- In A 5 is tled, the Tiger sat licking his chops-his prey entirely devoured. In basket ball four Seniors, including the captain, Joe Reicher, caiwied Westport's colors through a very successful season. And the Seniors, with the redoubtable Es- monde Kearney at their head, were the very backbone of the track team. But we did not shine in athletics alone. Eleven of the sixteen debaters were Sen- iors, and in dramatics we again starred. The underclassmen can claim but four members of the Christmas Play cast. Artists, authors, musicians-all have done their share in making this class what it is. And now as we bid goodbye to old Westport we extend our best wishes to the Senior Class of '21. May they con- tinue to grow, and when the responsi- bility of the school rests with them, may they meet it as we have, with all the per- sistence and pep they can command, and carry the old Gold and Blue to the high- est realms of Fame and Honor.
