FOR THE GLORY OF OLD W. L. 6.A.A. Come out and have fun. That's what the 58 members of the Girls' Athletic Association do on Wednesdays and Fri- days from 3:00-5200. Under the di- rection of Miss Fites, the sponsor, the girls play soccer, basketball, volley ball, baseball, and participate in other sports. Girls also have fun in earning points for their activities. Besides Cleonice De Kay, who received her award last year, proud possessors of engraved plaques, the highest award, are Betty Wilson, jean Burnham, Barbara San- ders, Betty King, Frances Allen, and Elizabeth Young, the president of the club. The club sent Dorothy Mather and Bernice Heath to the State Con- vention at Muncie, Indiana, and eight girls to the State Play Day at Craw- fordsville. W. l. ClUB The W. L. Club is composed of all the boys who have won major letters in football, basketball, baseball, or golf. The club is headed by Gordon Straley. The main object of the club is to uphold the fine characteristics that were practiced by former athletes of this school. The members also encour- age and promote clean speech and high morals throughout the school. During the past year the club was rather inactive. At various times dur- ing the year, the club met to discuss problems concerning the athletic de- partment and problems concerning the future of athletics. The final club ac- tivity-was a dance, that was given in the spring.

WHY WE NEVER KNEW THE SCORE Many and unforgettable are the cold, clear nights we sat huddled on the bleachers cheering our team to victory. Between touchdowns we ate hotdogs, arranged cur neighbor's blanket to keep the wind off our feet, and Ioyally followed the leadership of our yell leaders. Their urgent faces, scarlet with cold, encouraged us to rah, rah, choo, choo as never before. Head Cheer Leader Don Cooley, Elizabeth Girvin, and Bob johnson were honored at the football and basketball banquets. The whole student body is pleased with its five young and glamorous majorettes. lt is all very technical to know that they won first in the state contest, but we have all spent pleasant hours watching them lead the band, and perform on the basketball floor. Helen Wileman, Marilyn Miller, Mary- rose Kellar, Mary Lou Morlan, and Catherine Comingore all have several more years of twirling for W.L.H.S. ahead of them.
