NAN-DA-WAH-GAAH 'lihe school paper has done a good joh of publishing items of interest not only to the high school students, hut also to grade pupils. 'lille statl hopes to get out eight issues, and as each one averages at least sixteen pages, this is no small task. lllueh of rho credit for the success of the puhlication is due our adviser, hlr. Lewis Cook. 'l'lie power of the press has heen exemplified several times hy student reaction to editorials, and one real letter clay was marked hy notieeahle sartorial elegaiice.

ACENES -- I947 The 1947 Acenes is dedicated to the first year of peace for the world after a second great VVorld War. The staff is the largest in years, and well be it-for this is the last yearbook to be edited for just this building. Next year we expect there will be a centralized edition. The staff has worked hard to give the students a yearbook with which to remember VVest Sen- eca High School. The picture content has been doubled over that of last year, and the pages increased to sixty-eight from forty-tour of two years ago. The editorial staff, which cooperated actively with the faculty adviser, llirs. lliartlia lVorld, were as follows: Editor. . . . .

Each year, those who have a satisfactory a c a d e m i c achievement and have an interest in this organiza- tion are invited to become members. lnitiation this past year was held on De- cember tenth, with the usual ceremony. Under the guidance of bliss Janet lliurphy and the officers, the Sorority has added a most success- ful year to its record. Donations were made to Worthy causes. Activities included not only the monthly meetings, but also a special Spring Dance, and the Annual Sorority Day Picnic. Stu- dents and Alumnae of Beta Sigma Rho look for- ward to many more suc- cessful y e a r s, especially n ow, during transition years from war to peace.
