Football Season ls Here Again Football again! Once more it's time to shake the moth balls out of the win- ter clothes and get out to the game to cheer our team on down the field. For days before school began. the football boys were out practicing on the Gillham field: Mr. Moore and Mr. Bourrette were out there working with them. The cheerleaders have put in their share of time getting limbered up by practicing several hours after school. The unfailing persistence, time, and effort put in by all these fellow Westporters deserve a big backing by the student body. The student body consists of all of us . . . eighth graders to seniors. Let's all be right there with the team for every kick-off this season. Remember . . . when our team brings honors to Westport. we all profit. Let's get out there and show our school spirit!

At first. Westport was a private school in the village of Westport. It w'-is forced to close at the time of the Civil War. but in 1885 was re-estab- lished as a public high school-the second public high school to be established in Missouri-and held classes in a room of Main School, later renamed Allen. ln 1892 a Westport High School building was erected on a site at 39th and Warwick. only to be burned down shortly afterwards. The school was rebuilt on the same sitc. The school population of Westport continued to grow and the pre-ent building was constructed in 1907. Six former Westporters hawc won Rhodes scholarships. No other high school in the United States has equaled this record. Westporters should be proud of their school.

The cafeteria is the eyesore of the school, with papers from candy bars and other food littering the floor. The students carelessly throw papers at the basket, and hope that someone else will put them in if they miss. Marking on the walls is unforgivable. Westporters are old enough to know better, but evidently their desire to mark walls and leave their initials has overruled their good, common sense. . Any student who stoops so low as to carve on the desks or on other school property is showing no sense of right or wrong.

There are several ways of getting mentioned in the Crier. One way is to tell your staff members of the different things that are going on around school. The members of the staff are always delighted to receive Under the Clock items, since they are almost always short of material. You all know that the student body is the source of material. so see to it that the staff is informed of the different school activities. The staff is anxious to write about you, so please supply the news! Students who excel in sports. dramatics, art, music, and other activities are sure to receive acclaim. So if you are seeking publicity, do something outstanding! The staff is a cross section of the student body, representing the average student in intellect, popularity, and activity. Therefore, very few students can say that they don't know someone on the staff to whom they can give news. But if you don't know any staff members, you will find their names at the bottom of this page under 'The Westport Crier. If you aren't mentioned in the Crier this school year the staff is sorry but they are trying to include every Westporter P sonality Plus Minus? Is your personality plus or minus?

He's a charter member of one of the saddest clubs in the world. The club has well over a million charter mem- bers, and each has paid his dues forever. The club meets on any convenient crossroad in the world, and each member wears a frown of confusion. None intended to become a member, but just slipped in because of the lack of a little effort. Probably you and I know students who became members when the grade cards came out. They said, NI could have done betterf' Jim Stevenson said, I could have made a better grade if-etc. Bob Ches- terson said, You see that guy playing right half back? I could have been on the first string, playing there too, but-etc. You are constantly being asked to join the I Could Have Club. Every person who has been successful in the world, at one time or another was tempted to join. Their advice to you is to steer clear of the club. Don't worry about the past' just remember that the past is behind you and gone forever. Yesterday has already joined the past and tomorrow is only a bright vision made possible by the efforts of today. Youll meet members of the I Could Have Club who talk better than you think better than you and probably act better than you But there isn t any one of them who belongs who likes it and their password is Unlucky Consider some of the habits you have formed since you first started to school Have you used your time wisely or have you become one of the prominent members of the I Could Have Club' Will you continue to be a prominent memberq Dont remain idle and let time slip by The man who makes every minute count often becomes the man or the hour Lets say you ale 16 Do you know how many minutes have elapsed since your blftho The number is more than you think 8409 600 How many of these minutes are you able to account for? The I Could Have Club furnishes ideal material for The Street of For gotten Men It Sez Here Well here we are at tne turn of the semester and the seniors are hoping and praying that they will have enough credits for graduation We re start ing the second semester very pleasantly How you say' Why with the No 8 issue of the Crzer what else?

Some of us are gifted with more of these qualities than others, but none the less, opportunities are equal to all. This is one of the democratic principles upon which our public schools and our country are based. Throughout Westport there are cliques and groups of fellows and girls- some of them joined by age, some by membership in organizations. They are working as units, not as the individuals they are lucky enough to be, in this free America. These little and large groups are hungry for superiority and leadership. Often when elections of class or club officers come up these groups vott. only for nominees who are members of their own particular group. Some- times they dont support the most outstanding and deserving nominee be- cause he or she belongs to a rival group' maybe to no group at all. They spread gossip and slander about fellow Westporters outside their cliques causing more pain and hurt than they themselves realize Now is the time to put a Good bye and stay gone forever sticker on these out dated and petty practices Its up to us to guard carefully the fine qualities in our schools and homes that make America the foremost leader in the world today In a school as large as Westport good healthy competition IS plenty strong Lets give Westporters one and all the satisfaction of honestly and de servingly attalning oflices and honorary positions knowing there are no strings attached It Sez Here Howdy gang' Heres sad news' There will be only three more days of this school year that will start off with a bang Why Cause there are only three more Crzers before schools out The Crier Herald staff is cer tainly going to feel lost, begmnlng about March 23 Here s a tip you who have hair that falls every time It rams get a Tom Knew it all the time didnt you?

' 1 ' Page Two WESTPORT CRIER February 23, 1950 Youth Night Depends Upon Student Support Youths' night is in the making. The first Youth Night was presented to Westport students February 11 in the girls' gym. The purpose is to supplement the activities of the old Tiger Den, dancing, coke drinking and the like, to provide an occasion for students to congregate and have fun. All these activities were fully covered by the first Youth Night. Thanks to our P.T.A., Westport's first Youth Night was a success. The P.T.A. went to much expense to make it possible. It is now up to us, the students of Westport, to back this project. The P.T.A. is willing to provide this place for us tohave the right kind of fun, and a place to meet our friends. Ever since the last Tiger Den was closed, we have said that we wanted a Tiger Den again. Now we have that opportunity. Will Youth Night suffer a slow death like the Tiger Den because of lack of student support? Let's not let this happen! Everybody attend! Back our Youth Night, and show the P.T.A. that we appreciate their efforts to estab- lish for us a place to be with friends and enjoy good entertainment.
