TIIE CHIPMUNK M1] W. H. S. STUDENT BODY This year all school affairs have been managed by our Student Body organiza- tion and it has been most successful in all of its undertakings. It has helped to unify school aims and dignify school ambitions before a critical public, and has proved its real value even after so short an existence. For the future we have many and large plans, prominent among them being a budget system, which will increase the efficiency and service of our organization to a great extent.

If Westwood High School advances as rapidly in school spirit in the next few years as she has this year, we will have a school that anyone will be proud to attend, and we will look back on our High School days with the sweetest of mem- ories because of our school spirit. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENI S’ ASSOCIATION The Student Body Presidents’ Association is a means of unifying and increas- ing interest in Student Body government. This Association holds a convention once a year. At this convention the Student Body presidents of the High Schools of California meet and discuss problems of Student Body government. Here they get new ideas which they take back to their schools. As far as possible their suggestions are adopted and put into practice in the different schools throughout the State. This is one of the ways that this organization unifies Student Body government. These conventions increase interest in Student management and self-govern- ment. A small school, as we have here, has many things to learn. If it can find out how large schools manage their affairs, it can profit by their experience. This Student Body Presidents’ Association is not an old organization, but during the few years of its existence it has accomplished much. In 1920 its mem- bership was eighty. In 1921, at Santa Ana, one hundred and thirteen schools were represented, showing the growing interest in student affairs. This year, our Student Body sent their president to the convention. There he learned many things which have already proved useful to Westwood High School. It is their ambition to send a delegate to Santa Barbara next year and so keep in touch with other High Schools of the State.
