PERSONAL EFFICIENCY DEPARTMENT Under this department the health commit- tee sponsored apple, sleep, and proper shoe drives to improve the health of the students. Creed drives were planned by the standards committee. Felt emblems were given girls after they recited the creed. The charm club was active, posting clever posters and notices regularly on the second floor bulletin board, planning meetings with speakers on person- ality and looks, and arranging various cam- paigns.

HOBBY RIDERS DEPARTMENT At the regular meetings of the three com- l mittees under this department interested girls were able to develop their particular hob- bies. Tallcs and demonstrations on flower arrangement were given by experts in that field. The opportunity to correspond with young people in other parts of the world was offered by the foreign correspondence club. Front row: Juanita Beck fI'IeadD, Carolyn Caillac, Dorothy I-Iall. Back row: -lean Mc- jannet, Elizabeth Sward. ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT The main taslc of this department was to keep the entire club and its activities running smoothly by supplying the proper lubricating oils. Records were typed by the Clerical Committee. Nurses aids and rest room clerks were organized. Election and installation plans were executed successfully. The Ar- row, Girls' Club paper, was published. A new committee, the Minute Girls, was or- ganized to help with miscellaneous jobs, Front row: Annabelle Aller, Frances C-ailey, Margaret Creeno, Margaret I-Iunter, Donna Lewis. Back row: Betty Maples fl-Ieadj, Pat Poehlitz, Virginia Viggers, Mary Wienholz, Jane Williams. Any accomplishments, even though they are worthy of attention, would be worthless without some purpose. Behind all this activity in the Girls' Club, there was a purpose: the development of each girl to the maximum degree in line qualities of faith, cheerfulness, honesty, cooperation and dependability. The guide for each of the girls toward development into fine and worthy womanhood is the creed. Without the guidance and understanding of their advisor, Miss Chilberg, Girls' Club work would mean very little to the girls. It is her willingness to help and her loving attitude that furthered the purpose of their work.

C BOYS' CLUB Your school, community, and your country are better societies because you are becoming a better citizen. You are beginning to realize the importance of cooperation, tolerance, and industry in a democratic society. You must realize that you will have to con- tinue in your growth as a citizen. Your posi- tion will not remain static. Your parents have made sacrifices for you l and your country, but these will not compare l to the sacrifices you are going to make. Pre- DON FRAME pare yourself at school and in your community, Boys' Advisor so that you are capable of understanding the things which will be expected of you. DON FRAME, Boys' Advisor The past year has been filled with Boys' Club activities. The success of these activities de- pended upon the guidance of lVlr. Frame, the leadership of the club officers, and the coopera- tion of all the boys. The Warriors' Club, the school service organization, functioned as a main part of the Boys' Club this school year. Under the leadership of President Earl Boyd, it has had one of its most successful seasons. With a pep-rally ready for every gridiron tussle last fall, the Warriors did their part to spur our Indians on to a championship berth. After the football season the work of the Warriors did not stop, they were then busy preparing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for charity. All those boys you saw fixing seats in the gym for bas- ketball games, roping off the baseball field, and keeping order at our athletic contests were members of the local Warrior tribe. Members of the Transportation Committee were those boys who brought their cars to school regularly and volunteered to use them in behalf of the school, in case of emer- gency or necessity. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, these fellow-students were most helpful. They were the ones who carried our contributions to the needy. Another committee which has been functioning in the Boys' Club for many years, is the Projection Committee. This group showed to many classes educational films which today are becoming more and more an important part of teaching. At the close of last school year, little was left of the five member Yell Squad, in fact, only one. The succeeding year, the Boys' Club resolved to build and equip a Yell Squad second to none. Increasing the squad from five to nine men, by buying new sweaters, megaphones, and by getting high-spirited leaders, this job was accomplished. Joe James, chairman of the Friendship Committe, headed a group which was newly or- ganized this year. Little did we know how Joe and his committee would function. These boys were the reception committee for new boys coming to West Seattle. This group proved so efficient, that it was made a permanent part of the Boys' Club.
