Student Body The Co - ordinating Council consists first of I6 members, 8 students and 8 teachers. It was re-organized in the fall, and one more division, Schools at Warii was added. The members are elected in the spring during the annual Boys' and Girls' Club elections. It serves as a fact- finding, policy-making body in Front row: Barbara Afflerbach, Margaret Hunter, Patty Sweazey, , Annabelle Aller end Helen Torney.

Starting in the fall of l943, the name Co-ordinating Council will be abandoned in favor of making it a President's Cabinet. It will have the same duties, but will be under the authority of - the President of the Student Body, who will be elected by the students. Our school government is in an experimental stage, working steadily toward a practical, democratic society. When Steve Ellis suddenly died early this spring, it was a blow to West Seattle student government. Steve, working with Mr. Hannaford, Student Government Advisor, interviewed teachers, read many reports of student government in other schools, and finally wrote the constitution that our present plan is based on. During his Sophomore year, he served as President of the Student Council. He held the office of President of the Co-ordi- mating Council up to the time of his death. STEVE ELLIS According to Mr. Hannaford, who perhaps knew him better than any other teacher through their work together, he was the most outstanding student ever to enter West Seattle student government in that he was more concerned with creating a more perfect system, than in tearing down the present one.

Girls ' Club The ray of light coming from the ever-open door of the Apart- ment seems to touch, and in- vite into Girls' Club, all girls who pass along the second floor corridor. This light is symbolic of the Girls' Club and the girls taking part in its activitiesg their friendliness, cooperative spirit, and enthusiasm. Left to fight: Mass Maha chiiberg, cms' Club advisor, Pony The excitement and fun of Sweazey, corresponding secretary, Pat Poehlitz, recording secretary, planning a Conference, of get, Barbara Afflerbach, president, Edith Cadley, treasurer, and Peggy . ting an assembly under way, of seeing girls come into the Apartment just to sit and talk are an everyday part of Girls' Club life. Greeno, vice-president. Learning how to be interested and interesting at the same time by meeting and becoming friends with girls from all over the city, state, and country is one advantage of Girls' Club. The Administrative Department has Pat Poehlitz as both head and officer sponsor, with Miss Chilberg as advisor. ln this department are all committees whose duties center in the Apartment. Under Marilyn Lee, as head, and Edith Cadley, as officer sponsor, is the Entertainment Department. This group is sponsored by Miss Pierce. Parties, this year, have been few and far between since refreshments are scarce, time is valuable, and girls are working after school, so lVlarilyn's department held a toy drive, gave a luncheon for the new girls, helped with assemblies and conferences, and took charge of the annual Valentine Tolo. The Service for Victory Department headed by Dorothy Jeanne Thompson and Miss Hurd, with Polly Sweazey as officer sponsor, backed Red Cross activities, held tinfoil and yarn drives and took over jobs needing quick service. The Personal Efficiency Department under the leadership of Beverly Anderson, Miss Frey, and Peggy Greeno made the girls conscious of proper dress by a Charm Club Assembly stressing types of dress for every occasion. The Standards Committee held Creed drives during which nearly every girl learned her Girls' Club Creed. Community Service with Doris Stobie and Barbara Afflerbach as head and officer sponsor met and took new girls around, wrote friendly letters to sick girls, and made favors for the Ruth School. These are just a few of the many activities of the Girls' Club. As the flame of a candle attracts moths to it for comfort and warmth, so we hope the light shining from the Apartment will continue to attract more and more girls seeking the fun and companionship to be found in Girls' Club work.
