SCHOOL PAPER SUCCESSFUL ROBERT UNDERHILL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF WEST SIDEAN The school paper, The West Sidean, is edited by a student staff and is presented in eighteen issues per school year. Its make- up consists of class news, club news, editorials, activity sched- ule, sports, society, principal's column, exchanges, and a slam column. The slam column, entitled Scarlet and Gay, is definitely the chief reason for student subscrip- tion. In this column the students have opportunity to voice their say-so about other persons and events. It has proven a very en- ticing column at various times throughout the year. The club news generally re- ports the doings at various club meetings and frequently de- scribes the clubs' parties. The class news is specific club news, which is restricted to classes alone. The sports section reports the football, basketball, baseball, and intramural events held through- out the year at West Side. The editorials usually are made up of student opinions on conditions and events pertaining to the school city of West Lafay- ette. The activity schedule, newly installed by this year's staff, lists the extra curricular activities which occur during the particu- lar coming month. The exchange column, largely increased this season, has ex- change papers from several dif- ferent high schools in Indiana, and also several out-of-state high schools. The two stafis, editorial and business, were bothered with much loafing on the parts of the assistant staff members. This sit- uation left the bulk of the work to a mere handful of students, who should receive all the credit due them.

SPONSORS MANY AFFAIRS DURING YEAR In November, at the close of the football season, the society sponsored a football banquet honoring the undefeated team and coach. It was held in the Purdue Union Building. The theme of the banquet was The Victory Parade . Mal Elward, the head football coach at Pur- due, was the main speaker. In December the Sunshine and Tri-Y clubs had a joint meeting. The Christmas play, Love Comes Knocking , was presented and Christmas carols were sung. After this program a social hour which was climaxed by a visit from Santa Claus was enjoyed. Committees Carry on Work The work of the society is car- ried on mainly by committees into which the club is divided. The candy sales at school and at football games is the duty of the Candy Committee. The Sun- shine Room Committee keeps the Sunshine Room in order and provides a girl to take charge each period. The Look-out-in- School Committee sends cards and flowers to the sick. The Look-out-in-Community Com- mittee joins with the Hi-Y and Tri-Y to see that baskets of food are given to those less fortunate than ourselves at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Eats Com- mittee, Program Committee, and Finance Committee do just what their titles suggest. The Better Sunshine Committee is in charge of writing invitations and ar- rangements for meetings. This year the Sunshine Socie- ty carried out its usual custom of giving something to the school by buying bike racks . At the last of March was held the chief money-making scheme of the year, an entertainment in the auditorium and a penny carnival in the gymnasium. COUITER AND McMAHON ADVISORS Much credit is due Miss Coul- ter and Miss McMahon, and also those other faculty advisers for their assistance during the year. They have given their time and effort to help make the year a successful one, and have suc- ceeded in doing so. The success of any organiza- tion depends almost entirely upon its officers. The Sunshine Society this year had a group of executives who deserve high praise for the capable manner in which they handled the re- sponsibilities of their offices. Jean Ainsworth climaxed four active years of Sunshine work by serving this year as president. Polly Prentice, the other Senior among the officers, filled the ex- acting position of treasurer. Un- derclassmen Marselda Jacobs, vice-president, Frances Mellon, recording secretary, and Anne Newton, corresponding secre- tary, completed the staff. S. S. S. BENEFITS WEST SIDE GIRLS The Sunshine Society was founded in 1900 at Crawfords- ville, Indiana, as a Sunday School class. The West Lafay- ette society was organized in 1919 and it is a member of this state-wide organization. The purpose of the Sunshine Society is to spread cheer and helpfulness through the school and community. The creed best shows the object of the society: With love in my heart, forget- ting self and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to oth- ers. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in mak- ing my community a safer and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life be- come rich and completef' FRESHMAN INIIIATES STRENOTHEN BODY This year the society was greatly strengthened by a large group of freshmen who were init- iated in September and Febru- ary. After both initiation serv- ices, a get-together party was held during which dancing and refreshments were enjoyed. The state theme this year is Vocations and Avocationsf' The local society also tried to carry out this theme in their meetings. Speakers who are well versed in their vocations told the club the advantages and disadvantages of their fields of work. The district convention in the fall was held at Jefferson High School in Lafayette. The West Lafayette organization aided Jefferson by leading the songs in the opening session. It was a very successful convention. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE
