West Winds Publishing Club Several times the publication of an organ expressive of the printing and technical departments of West High has been attempted lout it has always been lost some- where in the general chaos of a print shop. Last semester, however, a renewal of this paper was organized on a far larger scale than before, To publish this paper, the West Winds Publishing Club was organized among the printing students who had one year or more of printing instruction. The papers of the fall semester were in two colors, red and black, and contained editorials, news items, shop notes, sports and cartoons and were published every week. The spring issues were published on alternate weeks with the Lariat. Each issue had two special features: one, a full page story about Akron's centennial with pictures of historical spots in and around Akron: the other a cross word puzzle or a cartoon. The remainder of the issue was devoted to news, editorials and shop notes, The paper was discontinued after its third spring issue owing to the press of work in the print shop. However, the club was willing to sacrifice their paper in order to take care of the large volume of school printing. The club still exists and may undertake the publication of a paper again later.

Rodeo General Staff The general staff of the Rodeo is made up of those members of the classes of Foreman, Kenneth Brown. January and June, 1925, who volunteered to assume the added responsibility needed in the preparation and publication of a high school annual. Each member in addi- tion to taking care of the pledges in one room was assigned to one of the various committees. lt is true, ofcourse, that some of the number proved better workers than others but it is a fact, worthy of Commendation, that practically every person who pledged his help, stayed by the task until his part of the work was Finished. To detail the service of each member of the group is not possible in a limited space and it may be that it would not be wise to do so for in the preparation of the Rodeo, as in athletics, it is a spirit of persistence and co-operation, of teamwork, that brings successful results. The picture of the executive staff of the Rodeo tells the story of those from the general list who were chosen to lead the various committees. However, not only to the editors and business managers but to all who willingly helped, is credit due for the publication of the Rodeo of 1925.

Lariat General Staff The Room Managers are that part of the circulation staff of the Lariat which collects for subscriptions and distributes papers. They have been a part of the Lariat organization since the paper was formed. The manager is selected according to his reliability as recommended by a teacher. As a reward for their service they are given a bound copy of all the papers for the semester. The Room Editors are members of an organization which was started during the fall semester of 1924. There is an editor in each home room, chosen by the school editor of the Lariat on the recommendation of the home-room teacher. His duty is to contribute for each issue of the Lariat a feature story or school joke, a wise crack for Desert Dope and a personal. He also acts as assistant to the Room Manager. However, with the opening of the spring semester the room editors were discontinued.

The first few issues were the result of the individual effort of a few students and were printed at the Akron Times office. However, West soon procured a press, and the Lariat became an exclusive West project in the hands of the News English classes under Mr. Murphey. The Lariat is published every two weeks. It consists of six pages at the present time. When it was first published it had four pages and its circulation was approximately 600. The circulation for the spring semester, 1925, is over l,100. Most of the material is written by the News English classes and is editedaand arranged by the members of the editorial staff who are chosen from the previous class on the basis of initiative and ability. Members of the business staff are selected from the room managers. Members of the staff wear the Lariat sombrero pin and have the freedom of the building while on Lariat duty.
