Girls' League Half the student body comprises the membership of the Girls' League, for every girl at Calhi is automatically a member. The officers who have worked hard to make this year a prosperous one were President Wilma Lee, Vice President Chris Ferguson, Secretary-Treasurer Becky Shaw and Sergeant-at-Arms Jane Wilson. The three songleaders and committee heads were Judy Summers, Bobby Borner and Carol Abbey. One of the first big events of the year, the Hi Jinx, is handled by this organization. December Splendor, this year's Girls' League Formal was a sparkling affair. Competitive spirt was aroused by the Valentine's Day Cake Decorating Contest, and the budget was helped out by the sale of all the culinary gems. Our Girls' League officers and those of other Southland schools met at Montebello for the annual conference of the Girls' League Confederation to get acquainted, exchange ideas and plan ways and means of making the organization even better.

Recollections Visitors from various countries were directed to the Calhi campus by the State Department in Washington. Our visitors were con- ducted around Calhi by members of Cabinet and Congress, and were invited to sit.in on any classes of their choice. Students were frequently given the opportunity to discuss problems and hear about the customs and traditions of other nations. The boys' Home Economics classes served coffee and doughnuts to the guests and their guides during the nutrition period. Many stu- dents were delighted to see Mrs. Hanna Mei from Malaya and Mrs. Esko Numninen from Finland enioying themselves at the Girls' League Dance. Such fun is often looked down on in Ger- many, Egypt, India, Mayala and Finland. These people enjoyed their short visit here as evidenced by the fact that some of the guides have heard several times from their appreciative sight- seers. Members of the pool fund raising committee are turning the first bit of ground. Among them are, Mr. Grandy, Mrs. Hill, Mr. Ferguson, and Mrs. McKibben. Calhi's long awaited swimming pool finally became a reality as ground break- ing of the 342,000 proiect took place Monday, Jan. ll, l957. Digging their shovels into the ground to turn the first bit of earth were the chairman of the pool committee, Ron Lucas, and mem- bers of his group.
