High Scale.
By EDWARD J. DUFFY.
~ LUBS IN which membership
" has been restricted to high
school students and grad
mates who have earned the school
insignia. as a reward of partici-
patton in the activities. have been
doing much in the last few
years to instill spirit Of loyalty
into student bodies.
The value of such organize
tions has been realized. and. as
q result, their promotion Is be-
ing urged by school authorities.
Western High School has had a
I "w" Club for many years. This
organization. sometimes known as
"The Deputies" is one Of the rea-
sons the Red and White takes
pride in school spirit. The wv"
Club has not only done much to
promote clean and hard fought
athletics, but 1t has promoted the
good behavior Of the students who
might be inclined to misbehave.
DEPUTIES vIGILANT.
As a result of the vigilance Of
the Deputies no Western boy, will
presume to light cigarette In the
neighborhood of the school, and the
littering of trash on the Western
campus il a thing of the past.
The boys succeeded SO well in
helping the school, Western girls
recently decided they would not let
the boys get ahead of them and the
first club of girl letter winners In
the District High Schools is the
result. The Girls w Club" is
!. the result. This organization also
has proven it's worth.
At Tech Is, the "T' Club, which
brings together all boys who have
earned the 'T' in sport. The
Maroon circle, with ct" inlaid, is
the priced possession on thes boys.
and they have the welfare Of Nc
kinley High uppermost in their
hearts.
ALUMNI TAKE PART.
Not SO very long ago, the Central
High School .'e" swimmers ofApast
and present decided to start a letter
club to help the Mt. Pleasant insti-
tuition in all ways. The co. club,
now one Of the most active Of Dis
trict bodies which is interested in
the welfare of the schools, was the
outcome of this awakening of in.
terest.
Recently this club entertained the
undergraduate winners Of the &C"
ct a buffet supper. The Racquet
Club was the meeting place. and the
evening will be long remembered by
boys present. Boxing and wres-
thing were on the program.
Election Of officers Of the &c"
club interested the students, for
they have come to know all the men
who have helped them in sports In
the past two years. Memories Of
such valuable tokens Of champion
ship teams as gold footballs, base
balls and swimming medals made
the boys think Of the good the &C.
club has done the school.
The immediate outcome of this en-
PERTAINING meeting will be the or
ganization of an undergraduate c"
club this week. A suggestion was
made by one Of the students present
at the meeting, that a branch of the
club be formed in school, to help
the men In their work and to act
in conjunction with them on ques.
tons which might come up.
START THIS WEEK. .
Principal Robert A. Maurer in
dorsed this suggestion Immediately,
as did President Ed Rheem, presi-
dent.elect Shock Boteler and all the
men present.
The boys Of the school are en-
thusiastic over the prospects Of the
new club. At the organization
meeting this week many sugges-

the definite plan of procedure will
be established.
Mr.. Maurer will take charge Of
the club. as it will be definitely tied

all activities. Election Of officers
win probably be made by the club,
along q plan to be proposed by the
principal. It is believed a council
