NEW SPONSOR EOR CLUB Due to unfortunate circum- stances Mr. Tucker, who has sponsored the club since its orig- ination, was unable to attend the meetings this year and thus for- feited his sponsor's duties to Mr. Dailey and Mr. Replogle. Last year the meetings of this organi- zation were held every other Wednesday at seven o'clock in the evening, but this year, due to the change of schedule and due to having a special activity pe- riod for such activities, the meet- ing date was changed to that pe- riod on Wednesdays. The various program commit- tees provided the club with many interesting meetings dur- ing the school year. Among the social activities of the club is the annual party which is in charge of a committee appointed by the president. The party was held on April 29.

ATHLETIC BOOSTERS ACTIVE SCARLETTES CONCLUDE SUCCESSFUL YEAR This year is the eleventh in the history of the Scarlette Club. The activities of this club have been greatly increased during the years of its existenceg it has become a leader in school affairs and a symbol of the best in school spirit. The Scarlettes began their year of duties as athletic boosters with the selling of student tick- ets for all home football games. The girls did valuable work in this line and also did their best to bolster up school spirit and at- tendance at games by taking over the pep sessions. This in- novation was a new develop- ment this year on the part of the Scarlettes and was greeted by much acclaim from the student body. The student body also re- sponded favorably when a mem- ber of the organization, Barbara Ford, was added to the school s yell-leading staff. Barbara estab- lished a precedent as the first girl yell-leader in West Lafay- ette High School history. The Scarlettes as a body gave volume to her yells with the help of their scarlet megaphones. These meg- aphones together with red suede dinl-cs form the badge of the organization members. A Scar- lette member may also wear the pin decorated with red enamel. This pin bears the insignia of West Lafayette High School, an eagle underneath which are the initials of the school, and also the name of the organization. OFFICERS AID IN YEAR'S SUCCESS The success during the past year of this club is due in a great part to the eHicient leadership I',Uil'I 'l'N'l-IX'l'Y- l'IIlill'l' of Virginia Vestal, president of the organization. Virginia was assisted in her duties by Betty Doddridge, vice-president, who took charge during Virginia's ab- sence and helped in numerous other ways: and by Marjorie B o I 1 m a n, secretary-treasurer, who kept all financial records of the organization and also took charge of the correspondence.
