s O P H O M O R E OFFICERS SOPHOMORE CLUB Donald Bostyvick Doris Duryea . -Hazel Moren Frank Roos President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Sometime during the early part of the first semester, someone, through the columns of the “Weekly, challenged the class spirit of the Sophomores. The query was, why, since the Freshmen had their club, and the Juniors and Seniors their class organizations, the Sophomores didn’t go and do likewise, and manifest some signs of life, instead of making a noise like a graveyard. The criticism was timely, and the Sophomores owe their journalistic critic a debt of gratitude; for a group of girls got their blonde and brunette locks into close proximity and laid the foundation of what is now a real honest-to-goodness club. The apparent slowness of the Sophomores to take up the matter of club formation was not due to lack of loyalty to West High, but because of their lack of understanding of the greater good to be accomplished through united and systematized effort. But since the formation of the club, the individual members have found themselves and have begun to appreciate their relation to the student body as a whole, and to understand what true democracy means. The club is a levelcr. It has promoted class spirit in every way possible; it has demonstrated that the Sophomores are a class of unity. In having this for its aim, the Sophomore Club makes no apology for coming into being. 1-1 DONALD BOSTWICK.

 J I CLARK JOHNSON DOROTHY RICHARDSON LOUISE ROBERTSON PAUL MICHELET (Treasurer) (Secretary) (Vice-President) (President) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: Josephine Kenkel Margaret McLeod Alice Leavitt Fred Wilcox Arthur Winn We, the members of the Junior class, organized on the twentieth of March, 1917. With our organizing has come the realization that we have but one more year at West. This realization necessarily presents to us the question as to what we have accomplished in the past and what we are going to accomplish in the future. We have overcome the trials of our freshman and sophomore years and are now engaged in the third year of our high school work. By means of our organization, we have gained a spirit of sociability and a unity of purpose which is unsurpassed at West High. And with this feeling of loyalty towards our school, we expect to accomplish greater tasks during the coming year. Hi PAUL MICHELET.
