VVhen looking back upon the activities of the club one can readily see that it has been one of the most necessary and valuable organizations of the school. The Boys' federation was conceived and organized by Mr. Edwin Adams, dean of boys. His aim was to have a centralizing influence operated by the boys themselves. In the past year the federation has been very active in Boise high school. An assembly for new freshmen was conducted by the freshman committee headed by Alfred Stone. This committee also helped the freshmen get used to high school life in other ways. The old traditional school yells have been augmented by original ones from the fertile brains of some of Boise high's own proteges. These have been brought to light by the yell contest, the prizes for which were offered by the boys. The boys hope to award a scholarship to the Boise Junior college at some time in the near future. Dick WVinstead was chairman of the scholarship committee which attended to this phase of activity. Marquand Gorton, as chairman of the social committee, conducted an all-school dance, using the railroad idea as theme. This committee also cooperated with the Girls' club in sponsoring a mixer earlier in the year. A worthy service was performed by the philanthropy committee in conjunction with the Girls' club at Thanksgiving, by collecting food, apportioning it in baskets, and distributing it to the needy of the city. Tom Shields was chairman. VVork in the federation was divided into three departments. Three of the committees before mentioned, namely: the freshman, social, and scholarship committees, form the personal service division headed by jerry Hannifm. The philanthropy committee, along with the committees on interscholastic relations, with John llewitt as chairman, and on civic relations, jack Hannegan chairman, comprises the community service department. Charles Finnell heads this department. John Hewitt's committee's function is to promote better feeling at school contests, while Jack Hannegan cooperates with the civic organizations when necessary. junior Parsons' pep committee built the bonfire used at the Nampa rally. The school service department, of which Keith I' was overseer, included also the traliic committee, of which Gene Howell was chairman, and the purpose of is to cooperate with the traliic problems. Clifford Darrah was to get of the driving cars to school, in needed in an emergency. First Row: Forney, Hannifin, Hannegan, Fletcher, Farley, Parsons, Winstead.

They are the newly-elected members of the Junior Honor society. Twice a year assemblies are held to introduce these members to the student body. To become a member of this organization is one of the highest honors an underclassman can achieve. The junior Honor society was organized by Principal Zed I.. Foy to give recognition to outstanding under- classmen similar to that the National Honor society gives outstanding seniors. The pupils are chosen by a faculty committee, headed this year by Miss Grace Berry. They judged on the basis of their standing in scholarship, leadership, and character. Once a member does not mean always a mem- ber in this club, for elections are for one semester only. This is a good incentive for members who must keep up their standing, and it also gives others a chance to be elected. The unior Honor society is perhaps one of the most representative groups in the school, as a student must not only have a high scholastic standing, but must also have several activities in order to be elected. Consequently this organization can boast of having everybody from musicians to athletes on its roster. To recognize this superior ability and leadership shown by students is the purpose of the organization, and the Junior Honor society has come to be recognized as a very fine addition to the clubs of our school. Boise high school should indeed be brood of her junior Honor society. Our faculty off guard. Stepping high. ' lioise's quints and the doc. lf. lf. A. float in the Centennial parade.

The aim of the Girls' club of Boise high school has been to help girls in time of need, to further social activi- ties, and to better themselves, their school, and their community. This year the club, governed by a cabinet of 16 members selected from the respective classes, well performed its duties. Clara Otness, dean of girls, is the club adviser. The Girls' club began its very successful year with a lovely tea given by Miss Otness at the White Peacock for the newly elected cabinet members. Each girl suggested different projects for the year, many of which were carried out, and expressed her appreciation for being elected. In November work was begun on the distribution of Thanksgiving baskets to the needy. A capable com- mittee, under the supervision of Beverly Oakley, packed the food so generously donated by the high school students, and presented it to those families that otherwise would not have had a Thanksgiving dinner. At Christmas time the Girls' club joined with the Boys' federation and again packed dinners, toys, candies, and fruits for their less fortunate neighbors. Two interesting assemblies were held during the year. Mae Thomas and Essamary Parker were co-chairmen of the first, to which the entire student body was invited. Some of the most talented students in the high school were the entertainers. The second assembly was a pay assembly under the chairmanship of the Girls' club president, Alice Mary Barber. Those attending paid IO cents and the proceeds went for the scholarship to Boise Junior College, which the Girls' club presents to a worthy high school senior girl. This year a new project was introduced and satisfactorily carried out. It was an entertainment given by the girls in honor of their fathers. F.ach girl escorted her father to our high school auditorium, where they enjoyed a lovely program. The affair was carried out in connection with youth week. The co-ed ball, which is the dance given by the girls and for the girls, carried out the theme of a chicken scratch. The seniors were chosen to put on the dance this year with Eileen Driscoll as chairman. Chicken coops, corn bins, and chicken feathers added that barnyard atmosphere. The faculty won first place in the stunts with a vision of what our women teachers would be doing if they were not teaching school. The senior class stunt won second place with a burlesque on the R. O. T. C. Those taking part in the latter were Audrey- anna Dodds, Louise Sigmund, Barbara Kidder, and Louise Fickes. On May 4 the honor girl dance was held. For the first time the honor girls attended a banquet preceding the dance. Marian Sandmeyer was in chargevof this dance, which proved to be one of the most attractive social functions of the year.
