gizfai Uaginaf Cgfftaissa .Safety am! Smvics In an effort to meet a rapidly growing demand for a service organization in Central, Miss Mary C. McNally, girls' adviser, established three years ago the Girls' cabinet. Its membership consists of representatives elected annually by all the girls of the school from each class, roll room, and society. Meetings are held in the auditorium each Friday. Through helpful ticket selling campaigns for many of the organizations in school, the cabinet has won for itself a place of respect and admiration in the minds of the students. Among its other projects the cabinet annually does all in its power to make the lives of the children in Saint Mary's pediatric ward a little more pleasant. The girls carry on a constant search for tinfoil which is then turned over to the persons in charge of that ward, who in turn sell it and use the money for any needed equipment. A committee under the chairmanship of Anna Marie Musso gave the crippled children a Christmas party this year. Delightfully clever favors of green art paper and red cellophane were designed by Miss Joysa Gaines and were made by the art classes and some of the girls from the cabinet. Under the sponsorship of Ralph C. Taylor, chairman of Pueblo's safety council, the girls adopted this year the name of the Safety I-Iostesses and changed their slogan of Service to the School and Community to Service and Safety, Their purpose is to make the students of Central safety conscious and in this way cut down the nation's toll of accidents. With this ideal ever in mind the girls launched one of the biggest cam- paigns in the history of the school. The drive was opened in an assembly in which a number of Pueblo's notables spoke to the student body on the im- portance of taking safety seriously. Then the girls with the aid of the printing and journalism departments issued safety pledges to the students. Of course. the signing of these pledges was purely voluntary, but all those who did sign were given permanent membership cards into the Central Safety club. I Carefully planning their respective futures, these I girls are seen studying the various Helds of en- ' terprise. always with a weather eye out for unusual opportunities. I GIRLS CABINET Row 77M.

The guidance room is lined with charts, pamphlets, pic- tures, and magazines dealing with occupations and vocations. Miss Mary C. McNally listens patiently to Bessie's prob- lem, and with some advise she gives Bessie a pamphlet to read on A'Acting as a Profession. John enters with a slip reading, See Mr. Stoddard for being absent from 102, sixth hour. Several boys enter to get their programs adjusted. Lorraine wants a P. A. Suzie and Harry cut class. Alice Wants to drop geometry. These incidents comprise the routine of girls' adviser, Miss McNally and boys' adviser, Mr. Stoddard. Because they are aiding in laying the foundation for the student's future place in the world, both work tirelessly with them in planning their courses. This branch of the high school is indispensable as all students need it some time or other to help them in solving their small personal problems. These students are busy viewing pictures and hooks on oc cupations and vocations that interest them most. Many ar on file in the guidance rooms. ,H s.Q.....l

The formation of the freshmen handbook has kept council occupied for most of the school year. These handbooks will be given to each freshman next fall to aid them to know, as good citizens, Central better. To finance the pro- duction cost of the handbook, the council sponsored the Vodevil which netted sufficient funds to furnish the necessary materials for its completion. Central was represented in the various regional student council conferences held in Boone and Colorado Springs, and the state conference in Fort Collins. The representatives brought back with them a wealth of new ideas and projects to aid in the progress of Central. A new feature, Courtesy week, was introduced. Because the students co- operated with the council, Courtesy week became a great success and may become an annual affair. The council, under the able supervision of Mr. Charles Croley, meets in room 203 sixth hour.
