 WESTERNER” The high school newspaper, known as the Westerner, made its initial appearance under the caption of West Side High School News in the Hub City Gazette on October 30, 1934. This being successful, it was decided to increase the scope of the paper making it an independent school publication. The paper which developed, namely the Westerner, has been published weekly for two years. However, there is little value in publishing a school paper unless the students feel that they are being aided by it; consequently it has been the policy of the Westerner to consider any criticisms and suggestions offered for the improvement of the publication. The Westerner was issued to the students on Thursday morning of each week. Copies were given to all junior and senior high school students, faculty members, as well as to members of the school board. This year's staff was composed of the following students: editor, Joan Veit; activities editor, Eloise Pate; sports editor, Bob Ely; department editor and production manager, Eleanor Harrison; assistant production manager, Jane Davis; class editors, Dale Hammons, Harriet Robertson, Peggy Rhatican, Marilyn Keck, faculty advisors, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Crouse. Others who worked on the staff during part of the year were George Hill, Betty Brown, and Lavon Edwards. SENIOR CLASS PLAY 1 he Senior Class Play, The Whole Town’s Talking, a three act farce by John Emerson and Anita Loos proved to be so clever and entertaining during the practices, that the cast was sorry to see the fatal day come when the play was presented to a capacity house whose appreciation was evidenced by their generous applause. I he cast was unusually large and gave many Seniors an oportunity to participate in one of the activities which has long been a cherished tradition in our school. The money obtained from this splendid class play will be used to buy a memorial for the School. Page Thirty
