Refreshments were served. “We are the school girls of Western, The happy school girls are we. We’ll be true to each other, And friends we’ll always be. Some other schools may surpass us, But as the years come and go, We’ll cherish Western memories And all the friends that we love so.” CItp iFmtrlt Club Under the leadership of Miss Maxwell, “Le Cercle Francais,” just newly- organized, have held several enjoyable meetings.

Wmaut OXlub This year has seen the formation of another club in Western Canada High School—namely, the Wescani Club. As it is composed entirely of “Western High” boys, the name was taken from Western Canada High. The Club meets once a week, and after the business has been dispensed with one of the members gives a talk on some current topic, and this is followed by a general discussion of the subject. It was decided to post a “bulletin” once a week informing the students of Western concerning the school’s activities. The bulletin got away to a good start and was favorably received. Unfortunately a breakdown of the press— Sandy Patterson’s typewriter—brought about the end of its publication. The Club is composed of the following: Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, honorary president; Mr. I. C. Flick, mentor; Stuart Nott, president; members-—Les Anderson, Jack Corbett, Jack Humphries, Stanley James, Donald McDaniel, Douglas Morris, William Morkill, Sandy Patterson, Stewart Robertson, Regi nald Smith, Findlay Trickey, William Uren, John West, William Ireland.

Several attempts were made to organize a school league, but no sup¬ port was given to the executive by the students. In March the club presented a debate before the Home and School Association which was very successful. Executive 1935: President—Bill Ireland. Secretary—Jack Corbett.
