-Q29 In the beginning, 1927, there were seven clubs initiated at GW- HS. They were: Civic Quest, Min- ute Men, Science Club, Girls Glee Club, Washingtonians, Home Econ- omics and the Hikers Club. Both the Minute Men and Wash- ingtonians were service organiza- tions which assisted with school MEMORIES functions, and welcomed incoming freshmen and students new to GW- HS. They sponsored get-acquainted parties and Mother-Daughter pro- grams. Girls Glee Club was considered an after-school activity and was the first music group to organize and perform in the community. Oh 06 Q-f T Ten years later there were twen- ty-four clubs in existence. Newly organized clubs included band, orchestra, choir, debate and speech. All clubs mentioned met after the regular school day. The Debate team, in 1937, debated at Purdue University t h e following: Re- solved, That Indiana Should Amend its Constitution to Provide for a Unicameral Legislature. Plays were given and the produc- tions were assisted by a highly or- ganized speech alumni group. An English VI class was respon- sible for the first school publica- tion. The yearbook of that early period of our history was a Senior POST and did not contain under- class pictures. The publication was a paper back edition. Fifty years has passed as has some clubs while yet other have be- come credited classes meeting as a part of the regular school day. They all lend to the dreams, tradition, and heritage of GWHS. i
