enthusiasm in every undertaking.
The way in which the approaching
basket ball season has been planned
gives working example of the sys
tenn which might well be adopted by
others
Sixteen basket ball teams have
been formed at Western under the
direction of Belle Meyers. coach. in
preparation for the annual interclass
series. which, will open shortly.
Each class will be represented by
four teams, graded according to abil-
itv and experience. Each first team
will play the other three first teams;
the seconds will oppose each other,
as will the thirds and fourths.
The first series of games. beginning
kneXt week will he a practice series.
J during which the players will be
rated according to their individual
performance and replaced on teams
wherever they excel or fall short of
their original rating. In other words,
If a player has been assigned to a
position on team No. 3, and she
series that she is capable Of holding
place on the No. 2 squad, she will
be shifted before the regular series
opens. And vice versa.
After all teams have been chosen
permanently, the interclass series
will be staged Each game will count
2 points toward the athletic trophy
presented at the end of the year to
the class which has captured the
greatest number of athletic sonors in
all fields.
An interesting feature of the series
as the award of class middies to all
players making either a first or sec
ond team. The members of these
two squads are permitted to wear
the gay-colored blouses provided by
the athletic association this year for
the first time. Senior middies are
red, juniors a rich blue, sophomores
gold and the freshmen blouseS are
green. This gives an added incentive
for girls to make one of the leading
teams.
'.W" awards are made to the out
standing players in the school series.
These are voted upon by the entire
basket ball group at the end of the
season. Any girl getting seven or
more votes is recommended to the
award committee. composed OF all
Aana gers, captains and athletic direc-
tors.
The names passed by this commit
tee are then submitted to the faculty.
If the player qualities as student
and citizen of the school, she Is
to the "W" club.
Minor letters will be awarded those
whose work has been meritorious, but
has not quite come up to the athletic
standards required of ''W" girls.
To become a member of the 'W''
Club of Western is no small honor,
as can be seen from the careful meth
cd of selection. Athletic supremacy
on the Hilltop means more than mere
skill in some field of sport. 1t means
that the athlete has attained her high
place in sport without sacrificing her
scholarship or her citizenship in the
school. She is a representative West
erner Seven girls in the wv" Club
were on the last honor roll and not
one member of the organization funk
d. This speaks for itself.
II Mary Evelyn Bowers is president of
fhe club. She has the honor of having
won "Ws' during her three years
at Western. Helen Sheckell is vice
president, Betty CARRIER secretary,
Dorothy Cook treasurer, and Jenny
Tmnbull sergeant-at-arms.

Weeks Activities in
 Catholic Churches

Today in Catholic churches, the feast of All Saints is being observed with appropriate ceremonies. Masses were said in all local churches this morning at appointed hours. The feast falls every year on November and it is one of the holydays of obligation in the Catholic church calendar.

The purpose of the day is to remind Catholic people of the doctrine which teaches that there Is a Purgatory wherein souls are kept in temporary suffering for the full cXpiation of sins. Through the prayers of friends and relatives who caches, the punishment can be lightened and shortened and tomor- rows services bring this forcefully 10 mind.
