THE motto of the AT YOUR SERVICE CLUB very aptly describes the work of this organization. The motto is A Bridge from Westwood High School to the Boys in Service, and that is excatly the function of the club. The Westwood News and Westwood Chronicle donate papers to be sent the former students of W. H. S. who are now in the service. The Junior High School division of the club has charge of sending out these papers. Be- sides sending a weekly paper, they have also sent Christmas cards this past year. The Senior High group writes a weekly column which appears in the aforementioned papers. The column consists of letters from 'boys in service and also their correct' addresses. This letter service is appreciated by many who have lost track of a former school chum. The club, which originated a short while after Pearl Harbor, has now been in operation over three years and will continue until this war is finished. EMBERSHIP in the HONORARY SERVICE SOCIETY is by far the great- est honor that can be bestowed on a Westwood High School student. It has a limited membership consisting of ten seniors and five juniors. These students are judged on their service .to the school, participation in athletics, student government, and for high scholastic achievement. After these points are counted with the help of Miss Mable Hilton, the faculty and mem- bers of the club must pass on the eligibility of the students with the highest points. Each year an impressive candle light service is held at which many local notables come to address the fifteen students. Eac-h inductee is also given an honor pin. THE SENIOR HIGH RED CROSS'CLUB, under the direction of Mrs. Kuske and Miss Kelm, is one of the most active clubs in school. In order to fill the quota for Camp Shanks and other places, a success- ful drive to raise funds was sponsored in the fall. At Christmas both the Seniors and Junior High Clubs made and filled Christmas stockings for the soldiers stationed at Camp Shanks. The stu- dents in the high school also contributed to the success of this activity by donating the articles with which the stockings were filled. The Red Cross Club, always an active club, has been unusually success- ful in its activities this year. OFFICERS CONNIE PAVESE ........... President DOROTHY SARIBBI . .... . .

HE PLAYERS have a registered membership of thirty-two students. ln October, new members were selected from a group of candidates who tried out. The candidates presented readings before the club. The club went to New York to attend a performance of Hasty Heart. During book week the club presented in the auditorium a pantomine of different books for the benefit of the library. The club met every Wednesday and Friday and had varied programs in connection with the study of dramatics. These included exercises in pan- tomine, posture for actors, reading of plays, and speakers who explained the qualities of good acting. OFFICERS JOAN FINNEGAN ...... . Prresident RUTH MCMAHON . . . .
