the major officers Of Western asso-

The Home and School Association
drive which started Thursday will
be continued until February %. Mrs.
Robert NJ. Reese, who is in charge of
the drive, is being aided by the civic
association.
In a series of class assemblies held
on the opening day of the drive the
necessity for a larger membership
was explained. Besides having the
corridor walls painted, the school
needs enlarging in order to provide
seating capacity and greater athletic
facilities for ths rapidly increasing
students.
The association expects to have at
least one representative from each
family in school who will help in
procuring the schools necessities.
There will be no formal exercises
for the February graduating class, as
several of the seven graduates have
left the city and it appeared i'm
practical to arrange a program for
three or four students.
Letters have been sent to the grad
yates informing them that they may
either receive their diplomas from
the principals office or wait until
June and graduate formally with the
present senior class.
