Dickman Helen Bender Necia Clingenpeel Marilyn Cobb Tom Baker Ruth Tarpley Bob Kreiger ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Student Council of 1957-1958 acknowledges its debt to the Councils of 1955-1936 and 1936-1937 for the work they did in assembling the material for the first edition of WEST HIGH SCHOOL, ITS ORGANIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES, Much of the material in that edition has been incorporated in this addition without the necessity of re-editing., President Ramey Harper appointed the following committee, H February 13, 1936, to organize material for a student handbooks- Charlotte Moon, chairmang Mattie Lee Alexander, secretaryg Gleen Smith, Beatrice Jackson, Helen Dodson, Sara Lee Hurt, Dorothy Duncan, Ben Wheat, and Betty Low Sager. . The work of this committee was continued during the year 1956- l937, under the direction of Bobby Neely, Student Body Presidente The committee in charge of the handbook during that year included Doroth Davis, Mary Elizabeth Jacobs, John White Holcomb, Elwin Hatfield, Robert Davis, Harriett Zachry, and Robert Morris, The work of these two committees reached a culmination intthe publication of 1957, Because of the enormousuamount of work involved in assemblying materials and arranging them for publication,-these cmn- mittees were forced to give up some of their plans. The Student Council of 1957-1938 took up the task of completing the original plans for a handbook that would be something different from the usual school handw book. While it is easy to see changes that should improve the present book, the Council, nevertheless, feels that its task has been completed with a degree of success, A The Student Council is proud to present the students of West High School with the 1938 edition of WEST HIGH SCHOOL, ITS ORGANIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIESn The addition of twentyweight pages of pictures to the handbook should enhance its value to the old students The courtesy of the WEST HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE Staff in making available the EAGLE'S collection of cuts has made possible this addition to the hand books The Council acknowledges the help and encouragement that have been given by their sponsor, Mrs RQ Mr Torbett, and by their principal, Mr. Jesse F, Cardwello The work of Miss Marguerite Layman, secretary to the principal, in typing and directing the mimoograph work that has been necessary to the publication of the handbook: is likewise, acknowledged and appreciated. The Council hopes that new and old students, alike, will find the handbook valuable as a guide and as a source of information concernv ing the activities of West High Schools I Adelia Pierce, President p Student Council, l957Hl938 iii CONTENTS Foreword School Calendar Bell Schedule West High School Faculty and Student Officers Ideal s u History and Origin of Muskogee Schools Some Facts About School, Study, and Marks Student Activities - 1 Student Organizations Honor Reels Regulations Students Should Know Things Students Should Know About the Library West High School Yells Index W , ILLUSTRATIONS West High School West High School Faculty The West High Schoel:Esgle Editors' The 1958 Queen of Service and Her Attendants .

THE WEST HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT'S CREED I believe in honesty, integrity, and loyalty to my school, I believe in developing my character along the lines of dependable Ohristiah citizenship. I, therefore, consider it a duty and a prive ilege to cooperate with m teachers and classmates in order that I may best serve my school and the community in which I live.

Hold our heads up proudly, We have none to fear For West High, the Best High, Is our High School! ---Helen G. Clark, Class of '34 1 Zp mpg p pp WEST HIGH SCHDQnAppp ppli-FMAT nm ness: cm enema y I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the peopleg whose just powers are deriv- ed from the consent of the governedg a democracy in a republicg a sover- eign nation of many sovereign statesg a perfect union, one and insepar - ableg established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which american patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. i. t I, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love itg to support its Gpnstitutiong to obey its lawsg to respect its flagg and to defend it against all enemies. ' THE FLAG SALUTE 'H I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible, with liberty and Justice for all. The assembly program and all homeroom programs in West High 'School open with the Flag Salute, followed by the Bible Reading. When the pledge to the flag is call for everyone should come to attention . The pledge is given with the right hand flat against the heart and facing the flag. The words of the pledge are repeated solemnly and distinctly: as the words Uto the flagu are repeated, the right hand is extended to- ward the flag with palm upward and fingers close together, thumb enclosed in the palmgthc arm and hand are held in that position Cmarked by a 45 degree angle with the bodyj until the end of the pledge is reached, at which time the hand should be brought back to the position of salute. In assembly the salute will be held until the boys in charge of the flag have placed it in the standard and have finished their salute. WEST HIGH SCHOOL In nineteen hundred and twenty, A. D.

Schools exist to help young people until they are able to continue their own development. One's connection with the school should not cease until: - 1. He habitually maintains himself tn sound health. 2. He maintains his home relationships with an apprecima tion of their meaning to him and to society. 3. He is a constant learner in all the problems of life. 4. He assumes his responsibility for faithful citizenship. 5. He is able to maintain himself happily in a sueful vocation with a fair prospect of growth.and advancement. 6. He knows how to use leisure in ways-that build up, T enrich, and beautify his own life and the lives of others. 7. He appreciates ethical character as a means of hnrmn onizing his own life with the well being of his fellows.

The bill making possible the inherent was the the inhabitants as congress, was to , first public school . So in Mus?cgee was introduced by Charles Curtis, a member of the Senate, This Curtis bill appropriated funds for establishing public schools in all incorporated towns of the Indian Territory. . v Q I . In July, l898, two months after the passage of this bill a Public Sehoolhllistrict was organized inlfusk-ages. The fi-1'Sl7 BQGTC3- , of Education was composed of Mr, W. C. Trent, Presidontg Mr. Thomas A. Sanson, Sara, Secretaryg and BU. U. liariilergtinf-.Mr. W. T. H11fi5ChiT1Ss Mr. J. 3. Torrans, and Mr. C. F, Bebeo, members. As is often the circumstance in a new community, the newly organized school system was conducted under many inconveniences, Store rooms, church buildings, and any kind of quarters that could bG leased became the classrooms where the first public school students of Muskogee were taught. In September, l898, school opened in an old frame building on Second Street just south of Gkmulgee Avenue. The Muskogee Phoenix of September 4, 1898, says, NNext Monday morning the public schools of Muskogee will open with four highly recommended and efficient teachers who will'enter four of the finest public school rooms in Oklahoma Territory, with capacity to accommodate four or five hundred pupils. The public school will be furnished with the nest complete and durable set of school furniture that can be SGGurGi.u In the next issue of the paper, appdpxedtthe ' account of the opening: UFor the first time Indian Territory, was witnessed the opening when the doors of the large school building were thrown open to welcome the many little SGh01e.I's. The 250 scholars that filed into in the history of the of the public schools of the City of Muskogee ones and not a few large the doors of the public school rooms last Monday fully realize the privilege the hundreds of parents of Muskogee provided for them through the efforts of an untiring set of city officials and members of the school board. This is the first city in the Territory that has building for a public school.W A , furnished its own school 4 P ,The office,of superintendent of schools was held by Mr. Ka M. Butler, who also taught the sixth and seventh'grades, the highest work offered, Theo remainder of the faculty was composed of Miss Isadore Andrews for the fourth and fifth nradosg Miss Edna Allen for second and thirdg and Miss Betty Hardin as the first grade teacher. 'In 1900 Dr. F. Wilson of Fayetteville, Arkansas, served-as superintendent. In the city schools the following fall six hundred and fortyhsix students enrolled. Since the number of school children increased so rapidly, it was necessary to find additional space, .-4, Q le . ' WEST HIGH scuoor. I , 4, , .il - 1 . -r.. ' -h. The old W. C. T.

Miss Bessie Trent was e1eetedMU superintendent of the city schools in 1902 end continued to serve until 1905, 'W 4 The removal of restrictions on land and the discovery of oil south of the city resulted in such an increase in population thet.it was hardly possible for the city to keep pace with the needs of the schoolss An old account, written in 1904, states, UVsrious places have been rented, private schools have been crowded, and still there are many pupils barred on spoount of the congested conditions prevailing. This year, however, will relieve present conditions greatly with the addition of two cenmodious scholl buildings vhich will cost in the neighborhood of 63,UDw to ?5,CGC iollsrs, from our public school y system to our colleges the host educational ncthods are everywhere apparent.

The grounds on which Washington School was built cost Sll,772.64, and the school itself was built at s cost of S42,267,94. Miss Edna Allen was the first principal, Jefferson was built at the same time as Washington at a cost of G35,392.3O. This school was built to serve the whole west side of town just as Washington school served the east side. Miss Isedore Andrews, was the first principal of Jefferson School. The names of these buildings established the precedent of naming Muskogee schools for historically famous men. . . Although there were seversl denominational colleges in Muskogee, the required tuition barred many students from obtaining more than an eighth grade oducstiong consequently, in response to the demand for higher education, the school board in 1905 established a high school in two rooms of Jefferson Schools Sixteen pupils com- posed the high school at its opering. Mr. D. Frank.Redd was made principal of both Jefferson and the high school department, The superintendent of Schools was Mr, Charles W. Lriles. The Muskogee schools developed more rapidly during the years 1906-1911 than during any other like period, Since the popud lation had increased to ever l2,000 inhabitants the schools were becoming too crowded. In Februnry,.lQO9, bonds were voted for Central High School building and Irvinn Word School. Irving was built at s cost of 342,415.16 in 1909, Two yosrs later a second , addition was sdled to this building at a cost of e5,zoo.oo. After another addition, the cost of the building in 1922 was 3?0,011.16. This boautifu1'bui1ding stands ot the corner of Gibson and UJU Streets. 'Miss Scottie Rogers was the first'principa1w, The increase in population necessitated the building of rtrp morobschools.

Frank Redd was the principal in 1905 and l906a The school increased rapidly, and in l907 there were over ZOO students enrolled, Mr. Ira L. Cain was made principal in 1916 and continued until,1909, In 1907, because of increased enrollment, the high school was noved into the Franklin School building located at ninth and Emporia. The school moved again in 1908. This time to the Kendall building, located on thirteenth and Boston which was offered by real estate inventors to supply the housing needs of the high school students. Z Because of a rapidly increasing enrollment it soon became necessary to seek a new home for the high school. The Dostic and - Sawyer building was rented at 225 dollars a month, partitions erected to make classrooms, and in the fall of 1909 high school classes began here with Mr, J. T. Hefley as principal. it was apparent however, that these quarters were inadequate and that a new High School build4 ing was the only remedy, - - . w , The south.ha1f of the central High School building, C039 taining thirtywtwo rooms and an auditorium, located at Dayton and E Streets, was completed in 1910 at a cost of 3257,523.00.

Its Well lighted rooms, wide airy halls, and inlaid marble floors are e far cry from the little red school hottie of our grandfather's time. It was constructed at Sixteenth and Broadway Streets in 1920, during the superintendency of Mr. R. J. Tighe, st e cost of 323l,OS6.00. V I I Mr. Herbert S. Jones, first principal of West High Schooly who is new head of the Social Science Department of the Public Schools of Gary, Indiana, states in his letter of August 22, 1958, NWest High School started as a separate organization in the fall of 19200 The , new building was not pompleted so we had afternoon sessions at Central High School for several weeks before moving to the west side. The Principal cause of confusion on the opening day arose from students getting their belongings into lockers. Until thot time most of then had not had lockers. I think there were twenty-three teachers, some of whom may be still in West High. I know that several of them are at Gentrsln. Early records show that West High School athletic teams were known as UThe Eaglcsn from the first year and the school paper was named WThe Eagleu, prdbehlyrh from the cable pouied Above the front entrance, An inquiry addressed Mr, C, In Eriff, one time superintendent of schools in Muskogee, brought the zollcuirg statement: NAS I remember, the eagle posed on the front of your fuiiding was merely an ornament placed there by the architect, rith thf approval, of course, of the board of Education and Srperinisndcot Tighe. Naturally the name of the newspaper lThe West high School Bagley' was token from the building ornament. To my knowledge, there is no particular significance associated with the eagle, but of course, mythicelly, we might say that the West High School group were high flyers, brave and daring or possessed of some other eagle .

Mr. F. L. Fordice was faculty advisor. The newspaper named tThe Eagle,U made its first appearance December 17, 1920, and was successful from the start. The West High School Eagle is at present a weekly newspaper. It is more than four times as large as the first EAGLE and is recognized as an outstanding Junior high school publication. Work on the EAGLE is a prized assign- ment in West High School. The EAGLE has until the last semester been published by the Press Club, It is new published by the journalism class which meets on the sixth period. Tho EAGLE is printed in the Central High School printing shop, A fun sheet is mimeographed by , the Journalism students. West High School is justly proud of its school paper. Mrs. Thearle Price has sponsored the EAGLE since 1929. K vs In addition to macing a success of the school paper, the school organized a basketball team in the fall of 1920. The first yearq 1920-1921, was afsuccess, The first team won thirtywfdur , games and lost e1even.' The team was composed of Vesper Gohenour, J. W. Grow, Richard Brecheisen, Lowell Hooker, and Verlin Cohhnour, The first out-of-town game was with Eufaiia and West High was downed by a ssore of 16 to ll. ' ' .A'branch of the city library was installed at West High in anpril, 1921, but it was forced to close because there was no ayiili able room. It was re-opened in the fall of 1926, when the Muskogee Public library opened a circulating branch in the lower hall. This was open during the noon hour. At mid year a front room fheom 1065 communicating directly with the outside, was fitted out with library equipment and about two thousand volumes were installed. Charlotte Bonds was the first librarian. Since that time the library has been s open to the public, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on school days and 9800 until 1:00 in the summer. The monthly circulation has greatly increased and the number of volumes has been increased to above nine thousarld. I . -V In an oratoricel contest on A Greater Wes,t Highn hold in' the auditorium December 22, 1921, Mary Perry Kation won first place, Irene Groom second, and Marion Wilmarth third. Who remembers when Gharles UTubW Goben played the French harp? Ho displayed his ability in a minstrel show given by the boys' Glec Club in.April, 1921. The scenery was rented from the Palace Theatre and the performance was a great success. The end-men were Robert Humphrey, Robert Hooper, Kenneth Hoffman, and Gerald Cox! West High won.a loving cup in 1921 from Gentral in the spring track'meet, but lost it to Central the next year. In 1921 Gerald URace Hbrseu Cox was the hero of the day, placing the new school colors, Blue and White, on high by winning both,l00 and 220 yard dashes. The Blue and White nine won its first victory when the boys downed the UKansas City JuniorsU by an 8-3 score, The opposing team was composed mostly of boys from St. Joseph's College. Tb develop musical talent, a band was organized in the , fall of 1921 by Mr. 0. E. Starbuck.

The following year, classes were held daily after school. Sinceithe fall of 1923, the classes have been scheduled in school hours and Mr. Goetz has been the director West High School is proud of its band and of the number who belong te the Central High School band. - Mr. G. C. Williams became principal in 1923 after having- been head of the scienceudepartmcnt in Central since 1914, He had coached many debates in Central, and had entered into the general life of the school there. Mr. Williams continued as principal until 1951, V f A set of staceysccnery was supplied in the summer of 1926, This consists of some twenty pieces including a complete set for an ' outdoor scene and.enother for an indoor scene, The stage equipment has increased under the direction oflMr, J. E. Pace who has directed the stage craft club fur a number of years. The art department and the stage craft club under the direction of Mrs. Maegeane Rice built a beautiful set of stage scenery to represent a cathedral interior. This setting has been used for Christmas and Easter programs, During the summer of 1927 an addition was built at the north end of the engine room, and is used as a store room for school supplies for the entire city, improvements were made in locker rooms, showers, and in blackbeards and desks. During the i summer of 1928 four water coolers. stalled in the halls, two coolers Wworld Champienslu' The many people know it but West High junior football team.

' , , Athletics play a large part in the life of West High. The Blue and White teams ensane not only in athletic contests with other schools, but intrapmural games as well. Intra Duval athletics today consist of volley ball in Novcmberg basketball from December to Merch and track the rest of the terms ,In all of these each grade furnishes, one or more teams. In track, four classes are formed,'oeing deter4 mined by age, weight, and height. The only four year junior high Ac school in this section, West High School finds it difficult to schedule teams that are not too old for the Eagles. During recent years, two teams have been entered in conpetition with other schools. A junior hidh school team composed of boys in the seventh, eighth, and ninth 4 grades and a senior team composed of ninth and tonth.grade boys. Under Coach Floyd Rutherford's direction, these teams have established a reputation for hard play and fine.sportsmanship. to ' I I . o . . . Ah. up p-,I I me oscgggvipzggrprorpnm- ,snmr1vr,..Acr1v1r,1ss i 15, The Ft. Smith Junior High School has become a friendly rival in both basketball and football. West High School track teams have consistently placed high in county track meets. The track team won the cup for first honors in both 1937 and l9ZG.' The basketball team placed second in 1937 and 1958 in an annual junior high school basketball tournament sponsored by West High School. This tournap ment and the county track tournament are the outstanding athletic events of the year. They are sponsored jointly by the athletic depart- ment and the student council. Girls have their interests in sports, too. There is an extensive intramural program sponsored for the girls by Miss Martha Virginia Thompson, assisted by the student council. The sports include volley ball, basketball, softball, darts, indoor tennis, shuffle board and a number of minor.games. 'U h X homeroom tournauents are sponsored in most of the intra!- murnl sports. The student council assists in keeping records and in running off the schedules. The council provides trophies for the winners. ' T , Not all of the activity at West High School is outicildoors. Indeed, the big activity is centered in the classrooms where the students find plenty to do under the guidance of teachers who are , anxious that none should miss the training that is provided, However, the students find considerable time to participate in student activities. The West High School student body is organized under a , constitution to participate in the activities of the school. The conn stitution provides for a student council, first organized in 1954. The office of President of the Student Body is considered the highest office the school has to offer. The annual election is not unlike an adult political campaign. The election procedure since 1934 has 'been modeled as close to the national and state election procedure as possible. Campaign literature is very much in evidence during the three weeks prior to the election and as the election date draws near, oratory is the order of the day. In homeroom, on the playground and wherever the aspirant can get an audience, candidates and their helpers speds. Printed ballots, voting booths and rubber stamps, are regular equipment at these elections, which are held on the second Thursday of April each year. The entire procedure is under the direction of the student council, Possibly the most outstanding activity in connection with the school citizenship program is the WWW Service Club. This club was originated in 1928 and began as a project sponsored by a joint I committee from the student council and the familty. Membership in the UNH Service Club is coveted by every member of the student bodyg The clubs requirements for membership are such that is not ina possible for everyone to attain membership. Service is the sole , requirement for membership. The student who is interested in infor- mation eoncerning this club will read Article VII of the Constitution. 151. . wnpsrgnperr soigoot I The annual installation of new members into the WWW Service Glub and the awarding of new degrees to students who are already members, is the crowning event of the school year. The installation ceremony is presided dver by the Queen of Service who is attended by three maids of honor. The ceremony is noted for its beauty, and the attendance has been so large within :ecent'yeare that the school has been forced to give two performances. West High School Glee Clubs have always been outstanding.. They present annually two programs, a Christmas program and a Music week program. Thanksgiving and Easter programs always have a reprea sentation from the Glee Clubs, , West High School takes sincere pride in its assemblies. These assemblies are held on Wednesday Cseventh and eighth gradel and Thursday Cninth and tenth gradel each week, and are presided over by the junior and senior vice-presidents. The assembly programs grow out of class room and extracurricular activity. The student body is given an assembly calendar early each semester. There is always a keen interest in approaching assemblies, both on tho part of the audience and on the part of the group giving the program. Certain assemblies haye become traditional. For ten years the Press Glub has given an original play in assembly the first week after Ohristmas holidays. The Central High School Band and the Central iigh School Gleo Clubs present assemblies each year that are always anticipated with a great deal of interest.. The Baccne College Rodmon's Glee Clubs have appeared in assembly each year since 1955. Their programs are always a matter of high interest. . The National Junior Honor Society Assembly date is always anticipated with a great deal of interest. This organization was chartered in 1932 and since then new members haye been elected at the beginning of the second semester. These new members are installed as,an assembly program. A very impressive installation service has been developed. Ono of the outstanding characteristics of West High School is tho interest that is taken in student activities. Clubs were first orianized on school time in 1926-1927. Since that time the activity period has always been included in the time schedule. It appeared i most consistently two and three times each week until 1936. The activity period meets evory day between the second and third period, The activities that meet on the period may be classified under the headings of WSpecial Interest Activitiesn and WSpecial Needs Aotivitiesu which meet on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Assemblies and homerooms meet on Wednesday and Thursday. Recently there has been an interest shown in forensic activities. A debate club, organized last semester with Miss Laura Meyer as sponsor, is lookinp forward to inter-school competition, Individuals hrve shown interest in public speaking, and so it is possible thrt West Hifh Eagles may be entering upon a new flight. - ITS on-QAIIIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES The 1938 Queen of Service and Her Attendants Queen of Service Attendant BETTY HOLMES Betty was born in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and came to Mus- kogee from Okmulgee in 1932 when she entered the Long- fellow school as a member of the fifth grade class.

The new station. KBIX, spurred their interest. In December, 1936, they broadcast for the fkrst time. The experience was stimulating. In 195?Ml958. two new organizations appeared out of this beginning: The Junior Radio Dramtics Club and the Senior Radioihadio Dramatics Club. These two clubs appeared on regular schedule over KBIX in 1957-1938. p y Q pNot to be out done by this group of moderns. another group of students beoame'interested in motion pictures. In 1935-1936. the science classes began to experiment with motion pictures as a means' of visual education. The final outcome of this interest in securing notion pictures in scientific studies was the purchase of a sound y motion picture projector in the fall of 1957. A regular schedule of visual education pictures was given to science and social science classes in the spring of 1958. W ' West High School has grown under the leadership ofua teadhi5 ing staff that has been intensly interested in deve1oping,a school ' to serve the youth of Muskogee. A loyal student body and a devoted faculty have worked together. The students love West High School and there is a strong suspicion that the faculty is as devoted to the institution as the students. A number of the faculty nenbers have been with the school since it opened in 1920. There have been four principals. Mr. Herbert S. Jones, the first principal, resigned after three years to accept a position with the school in Gary. Indiana. H6 was succeeded by Mr. G. G. Williams who resigned in 1951 and who is new teaching physics in Central High School. Dr. W. E. Armstrong..who is now Dean of Education in Mills College, was principal from l951ul955p. The present principal.'Mr. Jesse F. Cardwell. came in 1935.1 f ' West High Schoo1's enrollment has grown from 390 ingl92O-H 1921 td 758 in 1937-1958. To care for the increased.enrollment.-an addition was built in 1930. Before this time the gym covered the space new occupied by the library. room 103. room 102 and the rooms above these, the art room and the cafeteria. The building project of 1930 converted the old arrangement into the rooms mentioned and added the present gymnasium. o West High School has been a leader among schools since the first day it opened its doors. It has sent many outstandihg ' students to Gentral High. West High School has a sp1endid.system of student organization.

Pg - ITS ORGANIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES - ,L A 12 offered, the work done in the seventh and eighth grade should help the student in making his decision. The four courses are! College Preparatory Course, Commercial Course, Industrial Course and Home Economics Course. In each course the student has opportunity to , further narrow his field of study, through the selection of majors ' and minors. p ' s ' In West High School most of the homeroom guidance in they x eighth grade is devoted to a study of the offerings in high school: 56 that by the time the student comes to enroll he has a back-ground for making his decisions. ' ' l P During the second semester of the eighth grade the student is expected to decide upon the course of study he will pursue in high school.' During this semester and the first semester of'the ninth . grade the student is expected to plan his entire study program for the four years in high school. This is done under the guidance of his homeroom teacher.. The-study program is finally written on a regular from Csuvanee choice sheetb which is signed by the student and ty- a parent or guardian. Students who are undecided may continue their planning thrbugh the 9A grade. The Advance Choice Sheet is kept on file and serves as a guide to future enrollments. I THE STUDENT SHOULD PLAN H15 WORK A A ' School is a place of business and school work shou1d,be the first consideration of every pupil.. Unnecessary absence is the most I common course of failure. School work demands attention that can not be given without being present. Lack of study will cause failure.f Time is provided in the class for study, and the school day is the I best time to study.. The good suident Workman will-plan not'to waste study hours. There are times when not all of the work'assigned can- be done on school hours. The good Workman will plan a study period r outside of school when necessary. ' ' ' D If possible,the student should have for his very own a quiet, well-lighted place in the home. There should be a desk or a table and a straightgbacked dhadr.. The habit of a review of the dayfs work at this-table is.a good one. ,Plan before retiring the Work to bd done the next day. Give school work first place. That is that every good Workman does. J - ' - , Q o Putting work first.means that some other things have'to be set aside. They will interfere if they are not. For instance, all authorities are agreedsthat the-growing boy and girl need at least ' eight hours of sleep'every night. Social recreation is necessary, but when allowed to take too many hours it will keep any one from doing good work.' Every individual should regulate his work and his recreation so that they will not interfere with his own wellbeing. For the student, this plan should exclude social recreation on school nightsl ' 1 1 WEST HIGH SGH OL'S PLAN TO HELP The entire program of activity in West High School is pointed toward do1ng'two things for the student: C17 All the activities are 1' 1 lil.

The citizenship mark will appear on the front of the report card and will have in general the same significance as the mark for rating scholarship. CThe teachers will use the numbers Lw5 . to indicate a special analysis of the student's citizenship: 1. Very , cUmmendable4,3, ,AQAAQ Ayery satisfaptorygV4.

The student should study the traits and he should make a conscientious effort to develop a positive attitude . . ' 4 ,, H . Q . EU gi.-V--14 ' ' 4'-Y toward each trait. Good citizenship should be the aim of e , student. He cannot realize this aim by merely being good. This is the reason why the school has made the citizenship mark some- thing more than a conduct mark. - Conduct. behavior, and discipline are kindred terms that ' are often confused with citizenship. Discipline is the term generally used when referring to the conduct or behavior of a school or student body. There often is not a clear conception of the term discipline as applied to the-school. Discipline is often thought of in terms' of punishment, because it is so often used as a term applied to corrective and penal methods. Thus, in school. it is often said , that s student who is punished is ndisciplinedn. Punishment and discipline should not be considered kindred terms, for discipline is not always punitive in nature, nor is it to be considered as purely corrective in nature. A better interpretation of the term discipline is that it is constructive in nature. It is a term applied to the controls that have been set up to govern good conduct and to develop good citizenship. - To the student who accepts these controls as best suited to his development as an individual and as a citizen. discipline becomes a personal matter. It is something entirely within his own control. Thus, discipline when applied to the individual may be thought of as self-control. ' Discipline thought of as self-control is placed as a responsibility upon the individuel. It is something the student . can practice. The outward manifestation of this practice will be determined by the students conduct or behavior. ,9Practice makes peru fectu is a term that boys accept on the athletic field. It applies here as well. . The student is urgedto think of discipline and citizne- ship as closely allied terms. Good citizenship will resu1t.from good discipline. Discipline has just been defined as self-control. . Thusait becomes very pzersonalg something to be done for one-is self Citizenship is a lot like basketball. The boy becomes a good basket- ball player because a keen interest in the game makes him practices Practice in basketball involves self imposed discipline. It involves a willingness to follow instructions given by the coach or some one familiar with the game. A good citizen can be developed in the same way as a good basketball player. Good citizenship can be developed through practice. The student should accept this fact, believe in it. and use it to correct the traits on which.teachers give him f cheok marks. ' The student may think of his citizenship in terms of his attitude toward the school and its efforts to help him. In fact citizenship.is defined by the faculty as consisting of Na set of -attitudes that the student has gradually built up from his contact y with societyn. The eight attitudes that the faculty consider to be of most importance to the student, as an individual and as a citizeny are listed under citizenship rating on the report card.. It is hoped Y U Q W pp 1 on 'ms onecnrxznrror .nm.1srJnsnm.Aofr,13f,1r1ns p b Q1 that the student will study the traits listed, and that he will make H a definite effort to develop each trait to the extent that those who ' know him will have no doubt as to his possessing the trait. ' hi dj z .rnrnsnerno MARKS' - W 'T' , Since the honor rolls are based upon average marks the student will be interested in knowing how averages are obtained.

The quotient thus obtained should be changed to a letter mark in accordance to the table of weightings listed above. M In averaging scholarship marks, fractions of 5 or less in the quotient should be dropped, Fractions of more than S should be f counted as whole numbers, Example: Count 55 as 5 and'assignlQP mark: count 3 3I4 as 4 and assign B mark. , ' . 3 A quotient of 15 or more should be interpreted as an E mark, I AVERAGING oxrrzntsnrr MARKS -.., - - The weightings listed in the table above are assigned to citizenship marks, Averages for citizenship'narks are found-in the, sane way as they are found for scholarship marks, The only'eXceptionu is that fractions of as much as S are added as whole numbers. Thus, 32 becomes 4 and is interpreted as B3 while sk becomes 3 and is interw preted as Bf GREDITS H Graduation from high school is based upon credits earned ini the ninth grade and above, The high school pupil must present 170 credits for graduation, 150 of which must be solid credits. Solid credit is credit assigned to a solid subject, i,e. a subject'in which 1 the class meets five times per week and in which the normal credit is, five. . ' f The number of credits given in any solid subject is basedmu on attendance and on the citizenship mark. . .., ' iz The following table W111 aid students in arriving at the' number of credits to be allowed in the ninth and tenth grades! 1' A - ' if 'W . , - I -, . 9 . 2 U Y 23 y 1 1 C 1 WEST HIGPf SCHOOL - so I so 1 Citizenship Scholastic Absences 4 Credits A ' A 0- A 6 B or above B or above 2 55 C or.above C or above 5 5 C or above C or above 10 , 45 D or above D or above Not counted 4 No credit is given for an E mark.

The constitution provides for e Student Council. The Council has both executive and legislative powers, but is better defined as a co- operative body and not as a governing body. Its chief function as an organization is to assist, through cooperative effort, in working out helpful social relationships in school activities and in civic problems that concern the school group. However, the ouncil has the responsibility for directing a number of student activities, and renders an excellent service in assisting with other activities. The unit of the student body organization is the homeroom.i The Student Council membership is composed of representatives elected from the various homerooms. Seventh and eighth grade homerooms are permitted one representative, and ninth and tenth grade homerooms are permitted two representatives. The first student council in West High School was organized in 1924. This body adopted a constitution to govern its own meetings. This constitution first appeared. in The LONE EAGLE, a student handbook published in 1929. The Council of 1936-1951 revised the constitution and published it in mimeograph form as the Constitution of the Student Body. Subsequent Councils added to the constitutidn until it was thought best to revise the constitution again in 19354 1936. The Student Council of that year revised the Constitution and in the spring of 1936 it was approved by the student body in its present form. As the constitutidn now stands it may be amended by a . two-thirds vote of the council and by a two-thirds referendum vote of the student body. There have been only four amendments to the Consti- tion. A number of proposed amendments have failed. All amendments have been by referendum vote. As is stated in the constitutuion the purpose of the West High School student body organization is Ute promote the welfare of the student body through the development of such activities as will develop loyalty and devotion to the school and will provide opportunity for the development of individual members in citizenship traits and in citizenship responsibilityn. West High School has been fortunate in electing student body presidents and representatives to the Council who have shown keen interest in carrying out the purpose of the constitution. The loyalty of the student body to the best interests of the school. the interest of individuel students in the growth of the school, and a fine understanding of citizenship responsibilities have made possible an excellent student organization. The Student Council has always rendered a high type of service to the school. Nine standing committees and a number of special committees are responsible for the Council's work. Membership on these committees is not contingent to membership in the Council. U3 Committee chairmen are Council members, but the other members may be appointed from the student body at large. Committees are responsible to the council and the chairmen make weekly reports concerning their activities. Space will not permit an extended discussion concerning - pp p AITjS,ORGgANIZATlAON ,um STUDENT, ACTIVITIES e 25 1-lhullalllulnr -v,q.fWi-v---Yf1- -- - l , , theiactbvitietggf the Student Councilg however, the Counc11's activities aretolearly outlined in the Constitution. The constitution is printed in this book. It will be worth the time of every student to make-a careful reading of it. A TH H M ROOM Every student cannot be a member of the Student Council. but every student can be a good citizen. Best of all he can be e good member of a home in the school community. In West High School the Q Student's school home is the homeroom. The homeroom is made up of from thirtywfive to fortF'beys and girls of the some grade. Grade groups are nlphabetized upon entering West High School and are grouped. To each group is assigned a teacher who acts as edviser to the group. Except for minor adjustments that are often necessary because of increased or decreased enrollment within a grade group, the homeroom group remains together for the entire four years in West High School. The homeroom group meets together each morning for a fifteen minute period of orientation for thg,day?s work. This period provides time for the daily Bible reading, the flag salute, announcements and miner routine affairs of the homeroom. Once each week Cen Wednesday for the ninth end tenth grades and on Thursday for the seventh and eighth grades, the homerooms meet for a forty minute period. Almost all of the activities of the school center in the . homeroom. Representatives to the Student Council report weekly on the nctivities ef.the Council and are instructed by the group concern- ing the stand they wish to take upon legislative mattersg homeroom teams compete in intramural athloticsg hcmerooms attend assemblies in groupsg and all student enterprises are sponsored through the homeroom. The homeroom is of utmost importance to the individual student. The homeroom adviser is the one person in the school to whom the student may look for counsel and guidance. The student will find his adviser willing and anxious to advise with him on any problem. Chief among the adviser's duties is the responsibility for the enrollment of students in the homeroom. In order to properly ndvise with a student the adviser must know intimately the interests and abilities of the student. Therefore, the student who is reticent about his interests and abilities will hinder the adviser in the help that might be given to him. The student should feel that his adviser isdn friend indeed. A The student has e responsibility to the community and to himself to develop in character traits that insure his adjustment to the community. The student will find many opportunities to practice the duties of citizenship in the houerooms The homeroom is organized to prdvide opportunity for pupil participation in sold-control. The homeroom group elects a presidcntf vice president, secretary, treasurer and representatives to the 'Janelle The pgesddent presides over all the meetings of the homeroom. Ee appoints various committees to look after programs, health, attendance, service, citizenship, intramural athletics, scholarship, and other interests of the homeroom. The o , D In 'J , ., -..,. 26 . m 'r c ' 'vi'- homeroom organization is largely up ro the group and to the ' adviser in charges Thatevor organization is necessary to carry on the work of the group should be undertaken. The student should find a place to help in the activities of his homeroom. He should feel a personal interest in all that the group does. The student who determines to be a good member of his homeroom will find that opportunities to serve come his way. Every opportunity should be regarded as an opportunity for growths Indeed, this opportunity for development through participation in citizen- ship activities is the thing that prompted the organization of student activities in West High Schools The school euthorities have! encouraged student participation in school government because they have felt an obligation to provide for actual practice in the citizenship activities of a democracy. NWN SERVICE CLUB The student activities in West High School are operated under the ideals suggested by the worR7HserviceU. The organizations that exist render definite service to the development of individuals . and to the well being of the school group. A few recognize the services rendered by the individuals of the school. Such an organiza- tion ls the NWN Service Club, sponsored by the Student Council, A short paragraph taken from THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT May, 1928, explains the origin and the purpose of this club. UThe NWN Service Club was organized this spring by a joint faculty and Student Council Committee, and thirty-seven students were honored by membership. Next year we intend to organize this group for school service and to encourage high standards of individual con- duct and achievement.n ,The purpose of the club has changed only to the extent that it recognizes only the citizenship and service of the student chosen for membership. Scholarship achievement is'recognized by the honor rolls and honor societies. and so is not a consideration for member- ship in the UNH Service Club. Compared with the thirty-seven charter members of the club is an annual election of between one hundred and one hundred-fifty new members to the cldb each year. Membership in the club is based solely upon service points, and any student in West High School may feel that he can earn membership in the organization. Points are earned by taking a successful part in-school activities. See Article VII of the Constitution for detailed information concerning the club. .Membership in the WWW Service Club is considered by the Student body as one of the greatest honors that may be attainediin West High School. There are three stages of membership. The first stage is the Degree of Page. A student must be classified in the f 8B grade or above at the time he receives the Degree of Page. The Degree of Squire and the Degree of Knight are ehrned through render- ing additional service. A very impressive ceremony has been developed for the awarding of the different degrees.

O- o EETELEHEECHQQL -s,.r-.... awards a trophy for the winners in each sport, Intramural sports include volley ball, basketball, indoor baseball, track, shuffle board, horse shoes, darts, and ping pong, INTER SCHOOL ATHLETICS . West High School finds it difficult to compete in high . school athletics, because its teams are composed of ninth and tenth grade boys, There are no other junior high schools in this terri- tory that have tenth grade students enrolled. For that reason West High School's ninth and tenth grade teams must compete against four year high school teams, While not able to establish a reputation as winners, the West High School teams have antenviable record for hard play and good sportsmanship, The Uunior High School.teams play the best junior high school teams of this section. They have established a reputation for hard play and good sportsmanship that makes them a favorite among junior high school teams. Football, basketball, and track and field events are sports in which West High School teams compete with other schools, Both junior and senior teams are organized in each sport. All practices for school teams are held after school. The regulai tions governing letter awards will be found listed under Article VI of the Constitution, o TOURNAMEETS West High School sponsors an annual invitational junior high school basketball tournament, The West High Eagles won second place in this tournament in 1937 and l958, The Neyoka and Dwight Mission Junior High School teams placed first in l93? and 1958, respectively, The Muskogee County Track and Field Meet is sponsored by West High School. The West High School teams always rank high in the track meet, The junior high school teams won the cup for first honors in both the 1937 meet and the 1938 meet. The team placed second in 1936. ' The Student Council assists in sponsoring these two events, Student interest always runs high, TH PEPPERS . The West High School Peppers has always been an enthusi- astic pep organization. Its membership has been limited to ninth and tenth grade girls, The Clubs uniform of Blue and White is attractive, iMiss Thompson sponsors the club, THE WEST HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE r inf The West High School Eagle made its first appearance in December 17, 1929, the third month of the first school held in the West High School Building, It was a small paper of four pages, three columns wide, titled THE EAGLE, and there was a spread eagle '.,.:, .. ...- ..,.. . t-,hu -' ,.,.-, 'rv ,Q J.,---N ' ' 'fir' -fi-'.-e,'.-L'i5 .-s i ,s r- nw ..-..

The name wes, undoubtedly. decided upon because of the bronze eagle that is poised above the front entrance. Clarence Lynn was the first editor of the Eagle and F. L. Fordice was the first sponsor. The paper was popular from the very first. In its first year it placed third in Class B Publications at the Annual Stete Interschclnstic meet et Stillwater. By 1928 THE EAGLE hed grown to be e four column paper. It was still n four page paper, but its pages were considerably larger than the first editions. Files in the principel's office show the paper for 1928 to be exactly twice the size of the paper for 1920. Mrs. Thenrle Price become the school sponsor in 1928, and hes con- tinued es the sponsor to this date. Since 1988, the paper hes published special editions eoch semester. This special edition honors the graduating class. Other special editions-that have become customary :ire the Football Edition :md the Bnsketbell Edition. During the ten years since 1928, the number of column inches of print in THE EAGLE-has been doubledg the number of cuts, five in Volume VII, hos reached the astonishing number of 83 for Volume XVI C1957-195873 e. nailing list of 20 has increased to 105, with solicitations for exchange from more schools than the staff considers advisable to enter on the mailing list. Only senior high schools fend seldom outside large citiesl, issue weekly editions comparable in size to the WEST HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE. The staff has reason to believe that THE EAGLE is the largest and most frequently issued of any junior high school paper in the United States. In September 1933, THE EAGLE was changed from a four page paper to n single sheet, which wile keeping its identity has f since been published ns on insert in THE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL SCOUT. Subscribers receive both pepers for the price of one. The subscrip- tion price is twenty-five cents per semester. A number of honors have come to the WEST HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE within recent years. The VStudent Leadern, official publication of the National Association of Student Editors, has frequently referred to THE EAGLE es an . .outstondingg school newspaper of Oklo,ho2no. . This publication hes carried cuts of THE EAGLE Editor and of the West High School Student Council president and has requested cuts of cartoons that have eppenred in THE EAGLE. In 1935 a Tercentenninl Anniversary number of THE EAGLE celebrating the torcdntenniel of the esteblishf ment of the Boston Lotin School in 1955 was placed first in n contest sponsored by Vitelized School Journalism, the official organ of A high school journalism department of the National Education Association. Until the spring of 1938, the school paper was published by the press club, n club of from forty to fifty students thot met once each week, from the membership of which n staff was selected to edit the paper, but the club was largely responsible ior the printed materiel. A change in the activity program of the school made possible the organization of e journalism class nn on nctivity. 4 V i...,..,.....,.... L , or . L , AA ., , During the last semester of l95?wlO53, the journalism class assumed responsibility for publishing THE WEST HIGH SCEOOL EAGLE. The class meets as an activity, but as is the plan in a number of activities the students may elect between service points and non-solid credit for their work in the activity. Only tenth grade students may become members of the journalism class. Students of lower classification who wish to contribute to the paper, leave their contributions in the WEAGLE'S Nest,n located in the lower hall. The staff keeps an accurate record of all contributions. Students' whose contributions are accepted have preference over others when they request membership in the journalism class in the tenth grade. .UThe Fun Sheetu is a mimeographed sheet that has been e. part of THE EAGLE since 1928. It is published by the journalism class as an EAGLE insert. The journalism class has its own equip- ment for publishing The Fun Sheet. A photographer was added to the staff in 1936. The WEST HIGH SCHOOL EAGLE is a wide-a-wake newspaper. It has a large circulation among the student body of West High Sch.J1.f No student can afford to miss the news in THE EAGLE and lTheEEun Sheetu. THE EAGLE is published each week on Thursday. Representwhw tives of the journalism class deliver the paper in the classrooms to regular subscribers at 5:17 each Thursday afternoon.

Always there have been students who have felt that they should use the activity period for study, but study halls have failed to provide for the actual needs of this group of students. The last semester of the 1937-1938 school term, remedial classes in reading, mathematics, and grammar were organizedo These classes were opened to students who felt the need of remedial teaching. Not a large number of students elected remedial work. Students who did elect teamwork felt that the time spent in remedial work was worth while, and it is felt that the classes should be continued. Remedial classes are not study halls, and they are not intended to provide supervised study on lesson assignments. They are intended for students who because of lack of ability in arithmetic, grammer and reading find it difficult to do the regular course of study. The teachers in charge of remedial classes are prepared to give instruction designed to remedy the studont's difficulty. The student who is willing to accept direction in remedial study will find it helpful to him in all time to come. One semester in e remedial class in arithmetic, for example, may correct a great number of difficulties and make it possible for the student to do much better work in the regular course in mathematics, I Except in two instances membership in remedial classes is optional with the studenta Seventh and eighth grade students who show on standard reading tests that they need remedial training in order to successfully accomplish the work of their grade level are required to enroll in remedial reading classes. Students who feel the need of additional training in readinn,arithmetic and grammar are urged to take advantage of the opportunities offered in the remedial classes.

All student activities are controlled through committees appointed by the president of the student body who presides over the Council. Some of these committees are standing, Others are temporary to aid in reaching a particular objective. ' Many things have been accomplished by the student body of our school in their school citizenship and activity program which have brought wlde publicity to West High School. The school played an important role in the organization of high school students over the state during the year of 1937-1938. To the West High School goes three honors in connection with this organization program: First, in assembly with rep- resentatives of other schools, West High School representatives succeeded in naming the permanent state organization known as The Oklahoma Federation of High School Students. Second, the first meeting of this federation will be held, this fall in West High School and will draw many students as 'delegates from over the state. Third, the first secretary-treasurer of the state organization, Louise Bates, is a West High girl. - . The many and varied duties of the Council are under the direction of the president, who presides at all meetings. Adelia Pierce is pictured above conducting a session of the Council.

The original building was erected in 1920, and in 1950 the south section comprising the library, gym, cafeteria and three class rooms was built. The entire building still has the appearance of a new structure. This is true because of the interest students take in keeping the building neat in appearance. I The West High School grounds are clean and attractive. Students have shown a disposition to keep the grounds attractive by. keeping off the grass and by not scattering candy wrappers, paper. etc. on the playground. The playground is to the cast of the build- ing. The building custodians are deeply appreciative of the student body's attitude toward keeping the building and grounds neat in appearance.

Work on text book assignments should be done in the study hall. No permit is required for entering the library before the tardy bell at the beginning of a class period. Therefore, study hall students are not required to present a permit from their study hall teacher. Students are not permitted to leave the study hell after the tardy bell,to report to the library. Study hall students should understand that they are privileged to report to the library for two purposes only: C13 to do reference work, and C21 to do Ufree readingn or to browse.

The card is checked against an alphabetized list of aisentees reported to the office by the study hall teachers.

H STUDY HALL -.- Students'ussigned to study hells are-urged to use the period for independent studyn The development of independent study is so impor- tant to the individual student.that the faculty has deemed it necessary to make provision for it in the school program. Teachers do not make assignments for study outside the class room that involve study techniques not familiar to students, For this reason students'should. be able to do all work assigned for study outside of class without assist! ence. The student who does his outside work independent of help gains in strength to do future study und morc'indepondent work. For thisd reason all students are urged to take advantage of the opportunity for independent study in the study hell.

The Student Council is in charge of this inspection, and has for the past-five years imposed a fine of ten cents against the student whose books are pieced in the lost and found because of an open locker. This fine is self irposed. and the Student Council uses the money derived from fines and other sources in financ- ing student activities that are under its direction. n i , ' V' ' 4 .

Only calls made by members of the student's immediate family will be accepted. O CARS - Cars should be parked on the east side of Sixteenth Street. For a number of years we have observed a regulation for parking care' not closer than fifty feet from the sides of the front entrance to the building. Thus the front entrance is always clear. -If you do not find parking space on Sixteenth Street. park on the south side of Court Street. Parking is not permitted in the space in the back of the building. Students should not park cars on Fifteenth Street. ' ' BIGYOLES All bicycles should be parked in the rear of the building. The space against the building on either side of the back door is reserved for bicycles. Students may pgfk bicycles against the west Wall of the store room to the north of the door, but they are requested not to park their wheels to the south of the store room door. A member of the Safety Patrol will be assigned to look after the parking of bicycles. I -. ' BOOK IDENTIFICATION The Student Oouncil has had printed n book identification card. These cards are to be used for two purposes: C11 to identify, lost books, and C22 to protect the student who buys second hand text books. The use of this card is not compulsory. It is, however. to the studentfs advantage to use the card. It is free and it will identify his book or notebook. The ULost and Feundn will return all property identified by this card. At the close and the beginning of each semester the council will cancel the identification cards in ' ell books that are to be sold. At the beginning of each semester enough cards are given to teachers to supply each member of their classes with one or more cards. More may bo obtained from the principal's office.

ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS -The student is concerned with attendance for two reasons? ill the student cannot expect to do his host work when he is irregular in attendance: C21 credits for courses taken in the 93 grade and shove are hased on attendance. CSee page P ABSBNCES AND BXGUSES , Excuses for absences are issued in the central office by the attendance directors between 0230 and 0254 each morning. Students are expected to cell for admits to clfsses on the day following their absence. If the student reports to school in the morning, he should ITS ORGANIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES 65 always call for the admit before 8:41 in order to report to homeroom on time. The Deans haye the time from 8:50 to 8:54 set aside for issuing admits to classes, and their work is greatly facilitated When students abide by this regulation. ' A student who has been absent should always brine to the dean a written statement from his parent or guardian concernin8 the cause of the absence. The statement should include'the exact date of the absence, as well as the cause, and will not be recognized unless signed by the parent or guardian. ARRANGE FOR ADSENCB I ' Arrange for an absence before it occurs. Many times a A student knows ahead of time that he must be absent. A written statev ment from home stating the reason for the absence and its duration , will always place the student in a position to make up work lost. Like- wise, it is more business-like to arrange for an absence in advanCGn It shows a degree of thoughtfulness on the part of the student that is appreciated by the faculty. TYPES OF ABSENCES AND EXCUSES I West High School recognizes only three types of abSGnOGSo They are: I C13 Illness of pupil or severe illness of some member of the family, or some pressing emergency which makes it imperative that the student be absent from school, shall be considered the only, legitimate excuse for absence. Such absence will be excused upon presentation of an excuse prdperly signed by parent or guardian. C21 The second type absence is an absence with the previous knowledge and consent of the parent. In such cases, the absence will be unexcused until work is made up by the pupil. Pleasure trips or shopping tours are not included in the second group of absences. Absences for reasons of the sort mentioned will be unexcused unless satisfactory arrangements are made in advance. In all cases Where n the student knows in advance that he is doing to be absent, Oither the office or the dean in charge of his attendance should be notified and proper arrangement made for the absence. CBJ The third type absence is an absence which may be occasioned by the propxam of the school. Students who actually participate in athletic events, band trips, or any other type school activity will receive what is known as.an Uunrecorded absenceu, Such an absence doesnot count against the student's school record, The student is held responsible for the work missed because of an unrecord- ed absence, , The following explanation concerning the types of excuse blanks issued will be of interest to students: ' -White Slip-nThis slip is an excused slip and is given for an absence caused by illness. The last teacher to sign this slip should return it to the office by leaving on the hook outside the door. The white admit slip may be given for reasons other than illness as explained above. , c Qg,,,,,,':: ,Wo wrsr Inca scszorft --I:-f u..i:-.:g:.:.f:.mv:yrr:,:z',':2:'.?:n4.-3g-:r,-vr:1.g:-fsf.:. -- ,s:4n.r...n..sj- f -l-n.sg-i.::.-f:r.1e-:a.e-a.si4-s....- if 'MQZQQ1--- fi1i s s ' ip i s J liven xnliezn. the' 'Zvbse ne ef is nGnt1y'unexcused, It is final and should he taken up by the last teacher concerned and returned to the offices Teachers are under no ohliiation to allow students opportunity to'makc up work.

When there is some doubt as to whether the absence is excused or unexcused, this slip is given. When the student fails to brine a written statement from home concerning.the reason for absence, the pink slip is used. The pink slip is not final and the teacher should call for another admit to class the fo1+ lowing day. The office issues only two successive pink slips to the student. If the student fails to bring his written-excuse from home, a yellow slip is issued and is final. If the excuse is brought from- he e a white slip is issued and is also final. 1 , I Green jlipf-This slip is issued when the student has been absent gith the Qppsent of thggparegt for other reasons aside from illness, It is a temporary admit to class and is issued only when the office feels that the student should have an opportunity to make up work missed.

II PARTS OF A BOOK , If we are to find information in books quickly and easily, we must first know something about the printed parts of a book and their arrangement. 1 Title page: The complete title of the book is given. followed by author's name, sometimes with brief information about him. At the bottom of the page is date, place of publication, and name of publisher. Copyright date: On back of title page. Preface: In this, the author gives his reasons for writ- ing the book and acknowledges any assistance which has been given him. -I ' . Table gf Contents: The table of contents is a topical out- line of the material included in the book, usually arranged in order of the chapters and giving the page on which each chapter beings. By looking over the table gf contents. one can tell, in a general way. the subjects the book covers and whether it would be useful for his purpose. by Text gf thg book: Often at the end of each chapter is a bibliography which is a list of books in which further information on the subject may be obtained. ', ' index: The Index is an alphabetical list of all persons. places and things mentioned inithe book, giving the page or pages on which each may be found. By consulting the index, one may find out quickly where a particular subject is treated without having to go through the book page by page to find it. R 70s wnsr HIC-H scsoot A III ARRANGEMENT organs soors ir rss LIBRARY I W I The first step in learning how to use the Library is to find how the books are arranged on the shelves. There must be some ' definite order if books are to be located without difficulty, The 'A most satisfactory way to arrange books is to put all the books on the same subject together on the shelves, Thus, when we wish to read about the Indians, we shall find all the books telling about them grouped together in 1 one place in the Library, ' N In order that books on the same subject may be kept to- ' gether on the shelves and may always be returned to their correct places after they have been used, the subject of each book must be indica class numbers, . ted on the back in some way. This is done by the means of When Melvin Dewey was in Amherst College he divided the whole class ooofoee c lOOsl99 zoo-299 zoo-ees 4oo-499 soo-599 6OOQ699 700w799 soo-see Qoo-999 Each set 0 field df Knowledge into ten main classes and assigned to each one hundred numbers as follows: General Works CEncyclopedias,'periodicals, etc., Philosophy Clneludes Psychology, etc., . Religion Clncludes Mythology, Biblical storiesl Social Sciences CIncludes sociology, govern- I . ment, lawl Language CIncludes dictionaries, and grammars of language, Science CIncludes mathematics, biology: chemistry, physics,-etc., ' - 1 Useful arts Clncludes engineeringb Fine art CIncludes sculpturing, painting, music, etc. Literature flncludes poetry,'playsD . History QIncludes geography, travel and biographyl f numbers is divided and redivided until each sub- ject has its own number, for example: birds 598,Hmusic 780, poetry 821, American History 975, Then all books about birds will have the number 598g books about music 780, etc. . 'J . eBooks in the Library are arranged on the shelves according to these class numbers, beginning with the smallest and ending with ' the largest, Books with the'following class numbers would be arranged in this order on the shelves: OBO, 39O, 598,'822, 914, 9l4.2, 91444, 915, 973. .This classification of books is known as the Dewey Decimal system. There are new very few libraries in the world that are not arranged by this system. It is,then, very important to know about the Dewey Decimal system, for one who understands it can locate books in any library. Let us study more about the Dewey Decimal systems ., ' I its onerurrzneipom AND STUDENT ncrivirirs p MM'7,l, 1 ' ' We have now learned how the books are arranged on the g Shelves according to subject and class, but often in the Library there are many books on the same subject by different authors. Then the books are arranged within the class alphabetically by the authors' names, That is, a book about Birds C5985 written by Chapman would come on the shelves before,one f598D written by Hawksworth. Like- wise an American History C9731 by Elson would come before one C9731 written by Mnzzey,' ' P . A The only exception to.the rule of arranging books on the 'S same subject alphabetically by the author is in the ease of individuals biographiesg that-is,'books each of which deals with the life of one person. These are arranged within the class alphabetically by the name of the person written about, for it is very useful to group toe gether all the books about the some person. The classification number for individual biographies is 921, The letter which always appears below that number is the first letter of the person about whom the book is written. Hence 921-L.is a biography of Lincoln. ' 4 Lindbergh or some one else whose name begins with ULU. The individual bioaranhies of persons whose names begin with the same 168392 are alphaw betizedi' on the shelf, so that all' biographies about Lincoln would be shelved before these about Lindbergh, - - No class number is used for books on fiction fstories or novels.D They are grouped together in one part of the Library and are arranged on the shelves alphabetically by the authorls name. SUMMARY ' The books are arranged on the shelves first, by the class number, beginning with the lowest and ending with the highestg and then, under each class or subject alphabetically, by author with the exception of individual biographies, which are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person written aboute ' ' Books are placed on the shelves in the same order as the, words on a page printed in columnsg that is from left to right across a shelf, then down to the next shelf and across from left to right, and so on down to the bottom of that section of shelves and then up to the top of the next section and on in the sane way, - IV. 3. CARD CATALOG 1 V ' The index of a book and the card catalog of a library are very much alike. 'The index of a book is an alphabetical list of the topics mentioned in it, with the pages on which they are found' The - catalog of a library is an alphabetical list of all the books in it, . with information as to where they maynbe located on the shelves. 1 The catalog will answer the following questions: - l, Has the-library a book by a particular author? CFor example, one by James Matthew Barrieba , vgeee e to ueec ,A h WEST HIGH scnootc c it to ,ue u 3. Is there a book in the library with a certain title? CEor example, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardenol. 3. What books has the library on a given subject? CSuch as birdsb. , For convenience, the.catalog is written on cards and a separate card or set of cards is made for each book. The cards for all the books are kept in the drawers of a cabinet and arranged ' alphabetically by the first word on the top line Cexcept ua, an, or theuj. In order that people may know what cards are filed,in each drawer in the cabinet, labels are placed on the outside of each. A label reading UAFBU indicates that in that drawer are filed cards, the first words of which begin with HAH or UBN. ' Similarly, in each drawer are guide letters to show the cards are filed between them, Let us examine the cards in the catalog to find out ' just what information is given on then. If we wish to know whether the library has a book by James Matthew Barrie, we must look in, the catalog under'the MBU until we cone to UBarrien, for the last name of an author is always given first.' If the library has the book, a card similar to Fig. l. will be found. - E rig. 1-4-lunar 0.1-a 398. iBarrie, James Matthew Peter Pan in Kensington ' Bardens. V ' 1936 i . IJ ' , This card is called the author card because the author's name appears on the first line. It shows that the library has a book by Barrie with thc title, PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS. The date following the title indicates when the book was published. In the upper loft corner of the card is the classification number. This number is the key to the location of the book, for the smne classification number is on back of the book itself. Since we have learned how the books are arranged, we can go to thc shelves and find the book. For every,book in the library there is an .vrilleli CU-Iifll .ie the Qeielee- , I S I Even though we may not know who wrgte PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS, we can still locate the book by looking in the catalog under the WP'sN for the title, PETER PAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS. Ne will find a card like Fig. 2, This card is called the title card, because the title is written on the top line, Since thetclassification-number is in the upper left corner, the book can be located easily.

This card is called a subject card because the subject is given on the first line in capital letters. Again'we see that the classification number is shown in the upper left corner so that the book may be found on the shelves. 5 Fig. 3. Subject Card , 3 593 - I Birds Chapman, F. M. E I sims Life 2 3 1925 Q One who thumbs throuah the card index will note at once that there is no classification number on some of the cards. We have learned that stories are not given class numbers but are placed together in a separate part of the library and arranged alphabetically by the author. Juvenile fiction and adult fiction are on separate shelves. In the card catalogue the cards for juvenile are marked with a small Hju in the upper left corner. . -' .-' In a library, there are.often books written by a person, and books written about him. For instance, Theodore Roosevelt wrote A a number of books, and many books have been written about him. In the catalog, the author cards are written in small letters, Roosevelt, Theodore and the subject heading cards fthose about himb are written in capital letters, ROOSEVELT, THEODORE. The author cards are arranged in the catalog before'the subject cards. Fig. 4. is a subject heading card. This means that in the book, UBook'of Boyhoodsn by E. M. Fryer, on pages 280-91, there is an account of Roosevelt. 74.4 yr ..WEST sion SCHOOLyy Fig. 4-Subject Reading Card 2 920 ' ROOSEVELT. THEODORE , I . Fryer, E. M.

We wish to know the books under HAviationn that are in the library we look under the UA'sN for aviation. Among the subject cords on aviation will be found one like Fig. 5. This is o cross reference cord and means that we should look under the heading WAeronautiesU for additional books about aviation.

The Dictionary is an alphabetical list of practically all the words in the English language. Noah Webster is known GS the author of the first dictionary of the English language produced in Americai He was born in Hartford, Connecticut. and educated at' Yale. Interruptinq his studies to serve in the Revolutionary War, he returned to college to graduate in to the state law bor. 'In l783 he.som and shortly after published his first gen his American Dictionary of the En with the other languages. Seven more 1778. In 1781 he was admitted the need of better textbooks Spelling-Book. In 1807 be be- flish language and its connection years were spent in preparation of the Dictionary. During these seven years he mode many'visiss to the Paris and London Libraries to consult books and scholars. The work was completed in l825 and published in l828Kin two volumes. e. 45 '- ITS ORGANIZATION AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES CAVALIERS The Cavaliers Homeroom, sponsored by Mr. L.

There are more detailed explanations and more elaborate illustrations. You find not only the definition, spelling and pronunciation of Words, but also the origin of the word, synonyms and variety of meaning. Also, the names of persons and places of importance.may be found in the dictionaryp New words and foreign phrases appear in an up-to-date dictionary: There are three rules to be used in looking up a words First use the thumb index found along the edge of the book. Being alphabetical in arrangement, it will open immediately to the letter you desire. Next follow the guide words at the top of the pages. At the top of each page are two words in bold type. The one on the loft is the first word on the page, the other is the last word at the bottom of the page. Between these two words are all the words which have spelling, beginning and ending with these words. 'The . third rule is to locate your word on the page. A The book is divided into parts: the front, the body of work, and back, In the front we will find official Seals and Flags of nearly all nations of the world. The colored plates of great Seals of the States and Territoriesg flags and crests of other nations. Following these we find an explanation of the method of pronunciation used in the book. This is followed by an alphabetical list of abbreviations used in the dictionary. In the body of the work we find the material arranwed alphabetically. Each word is followed by pronuciation, divided . into syllables, part of speech, and definition, example of use, origin of words, and synonyms, Cor words which have the same meanr ing and can be used in place of the word definodj. Some words also have the historical development included. The pages are divided into two parts. The upper part which contains the main words of the language, and the lower part which has out of date words and unusual words. This part also includes, foreign phrases, christian names, and the pronunciation and abbreviations for the above. In the back we have what is known as the Pronouncing Gazateer. This contains places, states and their pronunciationsu Names of rivers and capitals of states with locations are also in the Gazateers ' After the Gasateer we have the Pronouncins Biographical dictionary. This gives the names of noted people, their profession, brief history of their life and dates of birth and death. The last section is Niven over to signs and abbreviations. In older editions of the Dictionary may be found a classified selection of pictorial illustrations covering every field of knowledge.
