Work for the Good of the Red
and White.
r N an effort TO better the condi-
tons and to improve the
morale at Western High
School, DR.. Newton, principal,
called together q meeting of all
the major officers of the school
in his office last week.
This meeting was the result Of .
movement on the part Of all the or
CARNATIONS to remedy present con-
ditions. and. as explained by DR..
Newton. that was the primary OBJ
ject Of the meeting.
ELECTION HELD.
Since this student committee 10
to be a standing body the first
business was the election of Of
ficers. which resulted in the fol-
lowing selections: Helen Newman,
chairman: w. walcott Shea. vice
chairman. and Margaret Reese, SEC
Rotary.
DIR. Newton then left tho meeting
in charge Of Miss Newman. The
conduct in assemblies was thor
oughly discussed and a plan was
finally agreed upon, whereby the
deputies and officers Of the cadets
should attempt to preserve order.
It was decided that this committee
should be explained to the student
body at the next assembly and that
the speaker should state that the
deputies and cadets were merely
acting a. executives Of this or
ganization.
The student committee does not
intend to usurp the rightful powers
Of the wv" Clubs, but does intend
to cooperate for the betterment Of
Western.
MUCH WORK DUE.
The personnel Of this committee
consists of heads OF the various
recognized organizations, deputies,
publications. teams. and cadets.
Since the presidents Of the organi.
cations and deputies. and the cap
tains Of the teams are elected by
popular ballot. and the leaders Of
the cadets ana publications are Sc
lected by merit, this committee con-
stitutes an able and qualified body.
The student committee. according
to DR.. Newton. viii have a great
deal more to cope with than the as
semblies.
with such a committee the faculty
and students will work hand In hand.
and where before the students might
have been dissatisfied with condi-
tons they will now have no one to
blame but themselves, that In. since
the student committee Is representa-
tive Of all the interests at Western.
At present the student committee
has not reached L. greatest member
ship, and as certain organizations
and the lower classes are not now
represented, the personnel In bound
to increase. No doubt representa-
lives of the lower CLASSES VIII DO
elected by vote very soon.
