Organizations honoring the individuals were Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, Letterwomen, and Lettermen. Scholarship, citizenship, leadership, character, and service are considered in inducting new members into honor society. Mrs. Beaver worked with students in promoting scholastic activities. Quill and Scroll is a national organization for seniors interested in journalism. Mrs. Watson organized this group of qualified newspaper and yearbook students at mid-year. Excellence in sports is denoted by the green and orange jackets and sweaters worn by deserv- ing WHS students. Lettermen and letterwomen gain special recognition in various athletic events and perform many services to the school. Miss Swinford and Mr. Wilson advised these groups. i 82 l

'W tiiliit 6 ltiift ng CBELGWB Karlene Schmacher receives a pie-in-the-face as a result of the Girls Club defeat in the canned food drive. The Boys Club, under the leadership of Todd Chris- tensen, President, and Mr. Bedell, advisor, was fairly inactive this year, At the beginning there was no Boys Club until the A.S.B. tried to give the money in the Boys Club treasury to another, more active club for boys. The boys then united, elected officers, and went on to beat the Girls Club in the annual canned food drive. The 1969-70 Girls Club activities featured events such as the Big and Little Sister Banquet, Tolo, the canned food drive, the district fashion show and the Mother- Daughter Tea. The officers worked together with the 22 member cabinet, striving to get more girls interes- ted in their club. A newspaper, The Caller, was put out to publicize events and express the views of those who wished to write editorials. The annual canned food drive started as one of the big events of the year with competition between the boys and the girls. Lack of interest in collecting the cans handed an easy victory to the boys, and pies in the face to the disallusioned Girls Club officers. A few optomistic, hard working girls held many of the unorganized events together, and members of the cabinet and some of the officers tried to keep the club from drowning in a sea of apathy. For a few girls, Girls Club offered an enjoyable time and some good events to participate in, for the large majority of the girls, there was a lack of interest and participation that made it a hard year for the Girls Club.

Pins and Letters S.T.A.G. didn't earn much money this year. But the purpose of the club is not to earn money for themselves. Though the club plans to have a booth at the carnival, the club is generally a service or- ganization. One of their big projects this year was a halloween party for a group of mentally retarded people at Fircrest School in Seattle. About fifteen or twenty girls got together and after a certain amount of planning, spent a Tuesday night entertaining a rather restless group for a period of an hour and a half. c.. in ff.. , ,,f' - nl --sv' ..-tv ' ,af Above: Striving to keep the books straight, Mike Laurine and Mike Wheat work at Elizabeth's Pants and Tops to earn money for the Lettermen.
