SAGA Scarlet and Gray-Studerits and friends of West Lafayette High School. the 195+ .-Xnnual extends to you hearty thanks for the splendid support you have given the Viking Edition. Of course we must re.i- lize that any publication of any sort is impossible without the cooperation of a large group of persons working together toward a common goal. XY'e have tried tur best to satisfy your wants although we have been operating on a limited bud- get. Several times we have been discour- aged almost to the point where we thought it would be doubtful as to whether Nvest Side would have a 1934 Annual: however. we have finally managed to bring before you a book which is what we consider a fair example of our hard work. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the spon- sors and faculty for the wonderful coop- eration and support they have given us to try to make this Annual a success. Also we wish to extend to the Speech Arts Club our hearty th.inks for the gift which made it possible to secure better covers than would otherwise have been possible. Trust- ing that the 1955 year book will be as much of a success as the Viking Edition, we wish them the best of luck and hope for .1 bigger and better Annual. ROBERT WILEY.

It takes a little studying, It takes a little play, It takes a lot of buddying To make a high school day. BIFROST The Value of Extra Curricular Activities of Wfest Lafayette High School American schools today are attempting to provide a training that will fit boys and girls to perform more etliciently the duties. and to solve more wisely the problems en- countered under a democratic form of government. Citizenship training is not a new task. We have evidence that from the early formative years under our na- tional constitution. our American forefa- thers realized the need of citizenship train- ing for the youth of th: land. Their ideas involved the reading of facts. But today education is no longer conceived of as a process of memorizing factsg it is a proc- ess of giving pupils experiences that shall be of value or use in later life. The cen- tral theory is that each individual engages in activities of many varieties. lt is in rec- ognition of these broader objectives that the modern school is attempting to provide pupils an opportunity to engage in many activities that have come to be called ex- tra-class or extra-curricular activities. Thus, the modern school is apparently in- complete if it does not provide in its pro- gram opportunities for pupils to engage in activities as described in this yearbook. Our school has endeavored to explore the interests and hobbies of pupils by a varied program of activities. Space will not per- mit giving the details of each of these ac- tivities, but an outline of several represent- ative activities would be as follows: Activity-Hi-Y Club, membership open to boys above the 915 grade who will subscribe to the creed. They are voted in by the club. Objective- To create. maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Time of meeting- livery Monday night.

The West Sidean, the NVest Lafayette High School paper, was tirst published during the school year of 1930-31. Dur- ing the first year the paper, under the ed- itorship of Fredrick Heiss, gained for it- self among the school's activities, a most prominent position, which it has continued to hold since that time. The succeeding editors-in-chief were Edith Gregory and Frank Justin. This year Kenneth Barnette was editor-in-chief with Henry Kraybill as associate editor and Robert Heine as managing editor. Due to the increased cost of production this year, the advertis- ing was solicited more earnestly with most gratifying results. This job was capably handled by Thelma Shipley and her assist- ants, Virginia Sidwell and Robert Xviley. The business managers were Eugene Swank and Catherine Cromer. Sponsor J. P. Wayne I ,Q y I N A Q., A A gs rv AGA The West Sidean offered ten issues this year which made the paper come out on the average of every three weeks. Several stereotypes in printing which added much to the appearance and variety of the paper were used. Miss Mabel Rothrock capably filled the capacity of English critic while Mr. UI. Paul XVayne acted as faculty advisor. The stat? wishes to extend its most hear- ty thanks to the merchants of XVest l.afay- ette and Lafayette for their cooperation in this school proiect. The paper this year as in the preceding year was printed by the Lafayette Print- ing Company. Here's wishing next year's editor the greatest amount of success that is possible. Ki Nxt- in Baitxi iii.
