LARIAT STAFF In the fall of 1921 West was assured that theys- at last would have a school paper, but when that time came, due to the business depression, it was found to he impossible. The News English class of that year decided that lVest should have some sort of a paper at any cost and the first lVIaple Leaf appeared. lldost of the upper classmen surely remember that paper. It was a mimeographed sheet, breezy as the name suggests. It survived several issues, but when affairs brightened up in December it was substituted by the first Lariat hlostly the handiwork of that memorable trio, Bud,' Walker, Ralph Hall and Chic Townsley. The name, 'fLariat, which was suggested by Chic, still lives. The first three issues were printed at the Times office. Then West received its press and the Lariat became an entirely school production. p In January the News English class under the direction of hir. Murphey' under- took the production and since it has been in the hands of both the news English class and the Journalism Club. The subscriptions have increased from 600 that first semester to 1,200 this semester. The paper, too, has improved in that time. It has increased from a four to a six-page paper. A trait of the Lariat,' which distinguishes it from other school papers in the exchange files is the feature page. All students are invited to contribute to this page and the material varies from poetic ramblings to more serious essays. It is hoped that next year the Lariat'l will be even larger and will come out weekly. The members of the staff will be chosen exclusively from those who have completed the News English course.

WRITERS' CLUB In the fall of 1923 tryouts were held to select members for the newly organized VVriters' Club, which was to be composed of the best writers in the school and would represent West High in all literary contests. A committee of English teachers selected nineteen students as eligible for membership. Under the direction of lVIiss Bockstahler the club not only helps to furnish ma- terial for the literary page of the Lariat and the various school contests, but also devotes its energies toward improving the literary style of its members.
