Miss Belle Meyers Starsed| Western W™ Club.” Miss' Beile Mevers, director of girls athletics &t Western High School during the present school year, which is rapMly drewing to a close, sug- gested the formation of the famous “W*™ Club for girls, which is unique among orgenisdtions of young girls in the city, and has the highest ideals as its practical standard for member- ship, It has always been customary to award the schoel letter to members of the winning team of girls or boys in the various branches of school ath- letics, but until last fall no signifi- cance beyemd that of physical prowess was attached to the winning df the emblem. Once, it was won, that was the end of the matter, althowgh the letter itself might reappear on a sweater or wofa pillow ar as a wall decoration. The *W" Club was formed October 21, primarily to raise the morale of | the girls generally and abolish un- satisfactory conditions, such as care- lessriess, skipping of classes, etc. The gradual working out ef the club's regulations crystallized during the past month, when sportsmanship, school spirit and scholarship were stated as definite requirements, in addition to star playing ability. This also Invelves what is termed good citizenship, and has becomf€ increas- ingly popular with the school as & whole and has supplied the needed stiffening to the school morale.

So an im-= | promptu picnic up the river was ar- :ranxod and an alumnae chapter of the Merrill Girls was formed.
