STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was organized in the fall of:l922 for the purpose of pro- moting good citizenship, good scholarship and good sportsmanship. All matters pertaining to the Welfare of the student body are referred to the council, duly discussed, and acted upon in the manner in which the council decides is most beneficial to the school. In this connection it should be mentioned that a judicial committee is elected semi-annually, consisting of three boys and three girls. To this committee cases of dissatisfaction and misdemeanors occurring among the students are first referred by the faculty members, who act as council advisers. The judicial committee conducts a thorough investigation of such cases, the results of which are then announced to the council. Four boys and four girls are elected to the council annually from the four High school classes. These members hold ofiice for one year and are expected to attend the meeting held every hlonday at close of school session. lflany projects have been started this semester by the council and by the close of the school year the council hopes to leave a record of real accomplishment.

WEST HIGH SCHOOL BAND Previous to this year the only band that VVest knew was a small group of boys who played school songs at several of the basketball games. At the beginning of the fall semester of 1923, lVIr. llflorley asked lVlr. lrwin to organize a real band which should play at the school games and social affairs. Under lllr. Irwin's executive ability and Mr. Kelly's leadership a large number of pupils were enrolled, and uni- forms were bought. Hard daily work on the part of everyone and the band soon commenced to sound like a professional. The band has played at most of the football and basketball games this year and has contributed greatly to the school spirit. ' Near the close of the fall semester the band, assisted by several VVest alumni as soloists, gave a concert which was a real credit to the school.

Freda Newbar, ORCHESTRA VVhen the band was organized in such a way as to require the presence of all Wind instruments, a violin chorus was developed to take the place of the orchestra. It consists of 38 members and piano under the direction of llliss Cully. The purpose of the chorus is instruction in violin playing. The chorus is divided into first, second and third violin parts, along with an obbligato violin part. At present the chorus is advancing very rapidly and hopes to soon arrange for outside engagements. They practice every lllonday, YVednesday and Thursday in the auditorium.
