ORGANIZATIONS Ext ra-Curricular Activities • Extra-curricular activities permit the students to express themselves in other fields of endeavor besides scholastically. In working with their fellow students, they experience situations not unlike those they will meet in the business and social world after they leave school. Among these activities are included several clubs whose aim is purely social; the music department; the plays; the Hi-Tri and Boys League ; the honorary groups; and the two publications: the newspaper, WestviUe High, and the annual, The Janus. Each of these gives the member an opportunity to participate in some worthwhile activity which will be of value to him (or her) w’hen he (or she) graduates and goes out into the outside world. Everyone in school belongs to at least one organization. Page Twenty two

THE KWh The Westville High School Hand was organized in 1929-1930 for the purpose of furnishing music at the football and basketball games and also for other school activities. Uniforms were obtained last year which made the band one of the best in the county. Any student desiring to become a member of the Band is allowed to try out. A student may enter the Westville High School and take up music instruction and then graduate into the Band as soon as he is capable of doing the work. There are thirty-two pieces and a drum major in the Band. The Band has attained its success through the skillful guidance of Miss Margaret Brittan. THE OK1HEKTHA The first Westville High School orchestra was organized in 1925 and has continued to exist until the present time. The orchestra of 1932 attained a high peak by placing first in the Vermilion County Contest. The orchestra has twenty-five members, many of which play in the band. The orchestra usually plays before the opening of class and club plays, and a regular practice is held once a week. This is an excellent opportunity for the students who wish to gain a foundation for instrumental work, which will later on, be a greater social and probably financial asset. Page Twenty-four
