THE BLUE AND GOLD w. H. s. ORGANIZATIONS The central organization of 'XVashington High School is the Student Council, com- prised of the officers of the student body and a representative from each club. This organization meets at regular intervals to discuss matters of interest to the student body. The Council takes care of such matters as ticket-selling, good manners, campaigns and Blue and Gold subscriptions. It has arranged for a continuous contest among the clubs, a given number of points going to the club, winning out in banking, ticket-selling, etc. The clubs were granted charters by the Council during the first part of the year. The chartered clubs are the Travel. Classical, T. N.T. or Scientific. Dramatic, Millin- ery and Radio. The unchartered clubs, which take members from the chartered clubs. are the Athletic Association and the Girls' Glee Club. The chartered clubs meet bi-monthly for a forty-live minute session. The Travel Group takes imaginary trips to all parts of the globe. All expenses are paid by Miss Kieffer, faculty advisor. The Classical Club devotes its time to the study of Roman Life and Art and in the preparation of a Latin play. Miss Kuenzli is faculty advisor. Under the able direction of Miss Miles, the Peppy Dramatizers have presented some very good programs. The T. N. T. makes experiments and scientific research, on a small scale. Miss Jacobs helps them to live up to their name. The Millinery Girls supplied Findlay with Easter bonnets. Miss Gilbert lends a helping hand. The Radio Club gathers news from far and wide and are amateurs. Ask Mr. Hybarger. It is to the Athletic Club that the XY. H. S. basketball teams owe their up-keep. It has stood behind them in all games. The Glee Club, also under the direction of Miss Miles, has given many pleasing vocal numbers and has been remarked upon as a well balanced chorus. These clubs tend to promote school and club loyalty and have proven themselves to be the most successful extra curricular activities ever taken up by XV. H. S. Wie are justly proud of our splendidly organized clubs. -ALFRED.-X REAMES. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Election Day! lYhat an exciting time for everybody. lYhy? XYe all want our favorites to represent us and do the best of their ability for us. At last our nerves are quieted and we are our normal selves again when we hear the reports: President, Harold Koontz: vice-president, Pearl Dorseyg secretary, Dorothy VViseley. The Student Council governs and leads us. They have done many fine things for us. The most important is the arranging of a contest between the different clubs on a good manner program. The training of good manners is one of the finest things a Freshman can accomplish. The second semester the following officers were elected: President. Harold Koontz: vice-president, 'XValter Renchg secretary, Mildred Xlfhipple. They decided to give a cer- tain number of points to each club bringing in an outside speaker to talk to the student body. -MILDRED VVHIPPLE. NIGHT SCHOOL Listen! VVell, what is this? lVhy. yes. we are talking about the greatest event of the year, when we all trudged to the school house through the downpour of rain. A special invitation had been given to every mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin and friend in the city. School began at six forty-five o'clock. the hour which would accommodate everyone. All of the teachers and pupils responded to the call of night school. Both did double duty that day. indicative of the Washington High School Spirit. The Travel Group conducted chapel. The subject was on Some of the Sidelights from the Passion Play of Oberammergauf' The first, second, fifth and sixth periods of the day recited. The purpose in having this event was to show the regular routine of work, such as the passing of classes fwhich tangles somej and the regular class work. lNe hope that in the future not only the Xliashington High School students will follow our example, but all of the public schools of Findlay.
