The Student Body of Wahkiakum High School
	The Student Body Association of Wahkiakum High School reorganized this year 
under the direction of DeForest Powers, who acted as chairman for the occasion.  The 
officers for the semester were elected.  Howard Martin was elected president; Walter 
Irving, vice-president; Barbara Healy, secretary; and Herbert Faubion, treasurer.
	The election for the second semester made two changes in the officers.  Howard 
Martin maintained the presidency; Clark Ray, vice-president; Barbara Healy, secretary; 
and Walter Irving, treasurer.
	The members of the Student Boy have shown excellent pep in all of the athletics 
and other social functions of the year.  The cooperation of the different classes has aided 
the Student Body in undertaking various difficult fetes.
	The parties given by the four high school glasses were brilliant social events, and 
will be remembered by all who attended them for a long time to come.
	Athletics have been made to pay this year, through the enthusiasm which the 
students have been transmitted to the people of the city.  It was by the strong backing of 
our business men that we were able to hold the Championship game of Goldendale versus 
Wahkiakum at Cathlamet.  Also much appreciation is shown toward the Bulldog Athletic 
Association, who have made it possible for us to carry on our basket ball season with 
very little expense.
	This year there was an ideal turnout for the high school play.  It was difficult to 
choose one person for each part from the number that turned out because everyone had 
their good points.  Such interest has never before presented itself to Dramatics.
	This year the Student Body sponsored a magazine sale for the purpose of raising 
money for the high school treasury.  Not quite as much interest was shown in this as last 
year, however, we were able to deposit a tidy little sum in the bank.
	Although all of the members of the Student Body couldn’t turn out for the 
Oratorical Contest, six of them did, and we must say that these six students make their 
high school proud of them.  The thoughts and ideas expressed in the orations were all 
very fine, and I must say, I think that the judges had a hard time trying to decide the 
places.
	There are more student organizations and activities this year than ever before, and 
we do hope that now the good work is started, it will continue to grow.
