SCRIBBLERS CLUB 1943-44 4 ' liis year marks the thirteenth anniversary of Scribblers, founded by our former English teacher, Miss Shepard. The club was or¬ ganized to give an opportunity for creative expression for those pupils who like to write. In the past, as in the present. Scribblers’ has had among its members clever writers with an abundance of originality and a knack for putting their thoughts on paper. Some thoughts and expressions come out in the form of a poem, others in an essay, or still others in the story form. No matter what form it takes, it somehow throws light on the character and personality of the writer. I ' he members of Scribblers’Club are indeed grateful lor this privilege of sell-expression. standing: Ann Morgen- stern, Clara Ann Newell, Jean Bennett, Alice Brown, George JVeierbach, Janet Burleigh, Lyman Letgers, Hazel Ticknor, IFyllian King, Helen Laughlin, IVillman Brown, seated: Lucille Jackson, Robert Har¬ ter, Miss Shipherd, Alan Sparks, Jean Webster. standing: Richard Morgen- stern, Dale Sherman, Will- man Brown, seated: Shir¬ ley Dibble, Gloria Eggert, Miss Shipherd, Mrs. Trump, Alice Brown, Mar¬ garet Jackson. I his year there was newly organized an assembly committee for the purpose of planning entertainment for the student body. Two representatives from each high school class, with Mrs. Trump and Miss Shipherd as advisors, compose the committee. Because organ¬ ization did not occur until several months of school had elapsed, active planning did not begin until the second semester, although the seniors presented an entertainment the first semester. The various organizations’ programs haveincluded plays, radio programs, quizzes, music, a panel discussion, and original writings. Responses to these assemblies attested the appreciation of the student body. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE 42

HI-Y Since its foundation in Westfield High, many years ago, the Hi-Y has consistently been one of the really outstanding clubs in school. In sports, social activities, and school spirit the Westfield chapter of this great world-wide organization has yearly proved its merits for top honors. Each year has been marked by at least one outstanding event. In answer to the pleas of the student body the Hi-Y responded with a successful St. Patrick’s Day Dance. This was the only formal dance held for the students outside of school for many years and we hope a precedent has been established. The annual Mother and Son banquet, a tradition in Westfield Hi-Y, was again enjoyed by all. Our sponsor, a true sportsman, organized during the winter months several fox hunts, which had the hearty approval of all participants. In the fall at the sectional Hi-Y Assembly, in Fredonia, our Vice-President, Hayden Hanks, was elected permanent chairman of the assembly and Paul Johns reader of bills. Following this, Lyman Legters and Paul Johns went to the State Hi-Y Assembly at Albany as club delegates. Other meetings are memorable because of lively discussions, the trip through the community power station conducted Mr. Macer, and supper meetings. For the most part the organization’s success is due to the wise and unselfish guidance of our sponsor, who has devoted seven years of friendship and under¬ standing to the club. He has been staunchly behind the numerous accomplishments of the club and is responsible for the many good times. Whether fighting on foreign soil or at home the fellows will never forget Earle Brooker, the backbone of the Westfield Hi-Y Club. standing: Andrew Lull, Clarence Ileider, Paul Johns, Roy Cleveland, William Lloyd, Donald Stafford, Elmer Allen, Willman Brown, Asa McKinnis, Howard Bartley, second row: James Hage, James Waterman, Joseph Canale, George Holcomb, Charles Crim, George Weierbach, Robert Harter, Marc Waite, seated: Alan Sparks, Hayden Hanks, Mr. Earle Brooker, Lymen Letgers, Gordon Beckman. 43
