Went to the bean club. Had good (Illegible word) and speech from U. professor on the "The Laws of Habit". In discussion we learned the (Illegible word) to be charged in the Y Club and we are going to have pins. Are also going to give a reception for Freshman soon. Came home with (Illegible word) Creighton,and L. Freeman and Deinhard Brothers..(Illegible word). I am back from 2:30 to 5 at store. Fine day.
Notes: Sorry for all the (Illegible word) spots this was a particularly faint entry and very difficult to read. Below is the description of the Y Club from grandpa's yearbook. I believe Y Club and Bean club are used interchangeably
The Y Club
AT the opening of the " b e a n " season the " Y " officers and members real-
ized that they would have a big job to keep up the record made by the
"West Club of last year. Nevertheless all who have been connected with,
or have known the work of the Club realize that its influence has been
felt throughout the school.
"We wish to thank Mr. Jordan and our two faculty advisors, Mr. Parsons and
Mr. Jones for the interest they have taken in our work and the help they have
given us. Although we have fallen down in membership, the conduct and qual-
ity of the "West fellows has gained the respect of the other High Schools.
Last fall at the beginning of the semester we started campaigns against pro-
fanity, smoking, and cribbing. We have had many interesting and instructive
speeches by prominent business men, preachers, and politicians, including Gov-
ernor Hammond.
The Club at present is pushing the movement for a Students' Executive
Board. The Club believes if this scheme is given a good trial it will give West
a chance to show the other schools a thing or two in the way of partial self-gov-
ernment. We all hope that through an Executive Board we shall bring the
students and faculty into a closer and friendlier relationship, and put the spirit
of "West W i n s " into the heart and soul of every student.
