THE CHUWH’Sk EXCHANGE THE exchange department of an annual is one of its most vital parts as it brings us new ideas from year to year and enables us to see how other schools are being con- ducted. Also the “Chipmunk in going to other schools does much to put Westwood on the map. It shows the other schools that, while we are not as large as the majority of California schools, we have Student Body Self-Govern- ment with the same organizations as the larger schools have. In exchanging annuals with schools with which it is pos- sible to have interscholastic relations, the annual acts as a messenger to tell them where and in what respect the school is most able. The exchange stimulates competition between schools. There is always a certain amount of competition between schools of comparatively the same size. Each school strives just a little harder than it ordinarily would to put out an an- nual as good as those of the schools with which it exchanges. Last spring a number of our annuals were mailed as exchanges, but unfortunately few schools sent a copy of their annuals in return, so the Exchange Department has been omitted this year. Here’s hoping that plenty of Ex- changes will be sent to us this spring. —E. C. '24 LOOKING TWO WAYS IN looking back upon our high school days we realize the many changes that have taken place between that time and the high school of today. The first complete organiza- tion of the Student Body was accomplished in our senior year Of course it was only on a small scale compared to some of the large schools of the state. Our small numbers made it impossible for us to have all of the offices that go with such an organization in other places. But today Westwood High Huge Elevem School boasts of as complete and up-to-date an organization of Student Body Self-Government as is enjoyed in the larger high schools. We had a great deal of trouble in getting the students to co-operate with the officers in school activities. All work was left to a few who were ambitious to see the student body organization thrive. It is discouraging to know that some of the students are not behind you. A discouraged leader can not do justice to his organization, because he feels that every move he makes will meet with bitter criticism. The last two years have shown a great improvement in this respect; everyone is ready and willing to step in and do his share. This brings it’s own reward.— the knowledge that one has had some share in the work that has been accom- plished. High school days are just what you make them. If you are unwilling to help out in school affairs, in things that are vital to the welfare and interest of your school, your school days will mean very little in after years. It is the ever will- ing student who supports all school activities, who is going to get the real worth of his high school days. So let us all be boosters and not knockers. Let us live up to the old slogan. “Come in without knocking and go out the same way”. —I. J. ’21 SCHOLARSHIPS THIS year our high school decided that besides supporting our usual student body activities we could establish a permanent scholarship fund. With the help of the fac- ulty and with the combined support of all our students, the Student Body is able to give two scholarships this year.
