W ezrtport jfzmzbr Clubs One of the most characteristic features of the Junior High School is its club activities. Clubs are organized to satisfy the desire of boys and girls for organized group activities leading to the development of personality and character. They serve to intensify an interest in something worth while and to aid in the formation of friendships based on worth-while interests. Boys and girls in their freer associations learn how to work together and how to use their time intelligently. The scope of the club work is determined by the extra-curriculum interests of the students and the ability to iind club sponsors among the faculty. Both sponsor and pupil are given freedom in selecting the particular club in which they wish to work. Pupils choose their own officers, make their own rules, arrange their own programs, and speak and act freely for the society. Westport Junior High School has forty-one clubs with a total membership of a thousand and eleven pupils. These clubs meet every two weeks on Friday afternoon. Much interesting and worth-while work has been done by the clubs of Westport Junior High School during the school year 1926-27.

Chickens crowing, heifers lowing, At the country fair. Barkers barking, what n noise, I can scarcely hear. - Peddlers peddlingg rowdy boys Screaming in my ear. See that pig! I know that he Must weight at least a ton. Horses Beet, with plumes so neat, Grazing in the sun. ' Something doing every minute. Now they'll judge the pies. Hear that country-maid a-shouting, Oh, I've won the prize. If I could have one little wish, Pd wish that I could hear The noises of a country fair A hundred times a year. h 5' . -Betty Hansen. ' H ear!! I W m Mr. Anderson found himself in a very awkward situation. For three months there had been nothing to do, it seemed, but to pay bills. His wife Anne had run up enormous bills in most nf the downtown stores and he himself had found it necessary to run several credit bills. Consequently, he found himself in a very awkward situation. His wife was worried as much as he, but she showed no signs of it. Mr. Anderson was teller for a small bank in Mayorsville and received no large salary. At times the bank had large sums of cash on hand to meet the withdrawals of the many farmers near the town. As Mr. Anderson walked to work this morning, he thought of this but no dishonest thought entered his mind. What he really was thinking about was suicide. He arrived at the bank early and began rolling silver dollars into neat packets when a stranger entered. As Mr, Anderson was the only person in the bank the man walked up to his cage. Put up your hands, the man said quickly. Mr. Anderson thought quicklyg he had always wondered what he would do in a holdup, and had told himself he would give up the money. But now he thought altogether differ- ently. Here was, he thought, a good opportunity to be killed without any trouble. The bandit repeated his commands, but instead of complying Mr. Anderson raised one of the packets of silver dollars and hurled it against the temple of the bandit. As the bandit fell he cried out in pain. The police at the corner heard it and came hurrying in. That evening Mr. Anderson was in high spirits as he hurried home. The bandit he had captured was very dangerous and many rewards were oifered for him. All of which went to Mr. Anderson. -Phillip Lester. -'Q'-I-f-'-761'-'-'Z' -'- -T-'-'-'-vw:-'-'-'-'-'-'-' -1-235-T---r ---- --'-'-- - ------- 1.-,ff our rnmama simu-
