THE BALBOA JOURNAL Mfg, ' Balboa Scholarship Society LTHOUGH Balboa is not yet an accredited school, a temporary chapter of the California Scholarship Federation has been started here through the efforts of Miss Fisher and Miss Pauly. Balboa can not be a regular member of this state-wide organization until it has become an accredited school or a school with at least one term of graduated students. Many have asked what the California Scholarship Federation is and what it is for. The California Scholarship Federation is a state-wide organization for the advancement of scholarship. If a student belongs to this organi- zation for six out of his eight terms in high school, he will become a life member. He will receive the gold membership pin, and his diploma will bear the seal of the Federation. It should be the aim of every Balboa student to belong to this Federation and to obtain the highest scholarship possible. This term twenty-two students were eligible to membership in our Balboa Society. These students are Viola Archer, Eileen Butterwood, Evelyn Cunningham, Ernest Engel, Kathleen Ford, Marcelle Glaubert, Emil Grosso, Margaret Hanson, Ena Kaffka, Ruth Larson, Ellen McAuliffe, Pierce Mclntosh, Lora Peters, Sidney Silverman, Eugene Smith, Roberta Swan, Henry Tani, Herbert Thomsen, Marjorie Thompson, Anne Vogel, Halrec Warden, and Azalda Winn. At our first meeting we elected Halrec Warden, president, and Azalda Winn, secretary. Ruth Larson, Eileen Butterwood, and Marcelle Glaubert were selected to draw up a constitution. This term thirteen students Went to the city-wide meeting at Poly- technic High School. Miss Fisher and Miss Pauly accompanied them. Earlier in the term Miss Pauly and the President Went to the Bay City Regional Council. At that meeting Balboa was accepted as a temporary chapter of the California Scholarship Federation.
