Although the Ski Club was unable to buy team parkas this year, the ski team consisting of Tom Ward, Sam Ward, Dave Larsen, and ,lack Enbom took part in many races both in Washington and Idaho and made a very good showing. The purpose of the Ski Club is to promote interest in skiing at Wlest Valley. Everyone interested in skiing, whether beginner or expert, may be- long to the club. Officers for this year were president, Sam Ward, vice-president, Jack Enbomg sec- retary, Jo Ann Parks, treasurer, Tom Ward, publicity chairman, Ken Ormiston, and program chair- man, Walt Swanson.

0iiice Girl The nine office girls this year have been busy helping the school and learning office customs at the same time. They have typed letters, cut corridor passes, run off mimeographed notices, dit- toed tests, answered the telephone, filed excuses, and run errands. All of this is involved in the process of learning office routine. Office practice is a class, receiving the full credit that any other class receives. Students who type well, have a good knowledge of English, and are responsible, are eligible to take office practice.

Librar Girl The librarians this year have really been the busy bees of the school. They had many new books which they made ready for the shelves for the students to enjoy. Notes about the a'uthor and the book were placed inside so that students could Hprevieww the book. The pockets and slips had to be typed and numbers and letters written on them. It was a long and tedious task, but it was completed. The card catalog was done by all librarians. Work isn't the only thing they have done. At Christmastime, a party was held and gifts were exchanged. Several other social functions were also held.
