Xol hull do not want to forget them, hut how are you going to remain in contact with them when they are scattered to the four corners of the earth? lt was such thoughts as these that made nine spirited hoys form the XX'estdale Hld lloys' .Xssociation, This organization is the one link lriutlillg' to-day to the days of lH'l'lltll'I'llXX'. it is the one sure wav of keeping alive XX'estdale davs and memories. lt has its monthly meetings where the cluh's hnsiness is conducted: then the hoys hreak up into groups and remind one an- other til. their former capers.
