3 I I ' t I 1' f I o IQ ,LA DALMA 55 AUTUMN ACTIVITIES PII-IE Assocmren BoYs -By David VV. Sturges N order to create a Hner bond of fellowship among the boys of Cit- rus, such as would make for a better understanding of each other and of the school's needs in general, the Associ- ated Boys was organized two years ago. This year has witnessed a considerable growth both in the interest taken by the fellows and in the contributions made by the boys to the healthy prog- ress of Citrus. The activities of certain committees show the services the boys hope to ren- der to the school. The Publicity Com- mittee endeavors to keep the student body and the community informed con- cerning .the activities of Citrus. The Athletic Committee boosts sports and aids in securing money for the Athletic Injury Fund. This money helps to pay for the boys who have received injuries while indulging in sports, and it is raised by the sale of Student Body tickets. The Boys' Welfare Committee is pledged to aid in the problems of school traffic and problems of conduct peculiar to boys. School trafific includes traffic after games, in the halls, and after school in the drive ways. Once a month all the boys meet to- gether at a divided assembly, at which time a special message is brought, either by a member of the faculty or by an outside speaker. Early in the year two prominent Citrus alumni gave inspir- ing talks on Citrus Spirit and what the alumni and community expect of the high school boy. In November, the Reverend Mr. Stewart from Monrovia fCo1ztim1erI 012 page 185 .ffxlrf 71 Ti-IE Guzts' LEAGUE . -By Ethel B. Sheldon LTI-IOUGI-I only one little Amt chapter among sixty, Citrus Girls' League nevertheless feels itself one of the busiest and most active. First of all, the local chapter tries to maintain a unity and harmony among all of the girls by doing several things for the whole league. Since September 12, the league has made approximately one hundred new girls feel very much at home by the Big Sister movement, by three assemblies, and by Hi-Iinx. The week before school began, Wildrt Young, our energetic president, en- listed the services of twelve junior girls to be on the job registration day and the two weeks following in order to help timid new comers find lockers, class rooms, and new friends. The as- semblies introduced our constitution and by-laws to those unfamiliar with them, gave several excellent examples of what the existing girls clubs could dog and organized three new clubs, thereby swelling the number of Girls' League groups to ten. The climax of united girls' activities took the form of the Melting Pot I-Ii-Iinx on Novem- ber 19, on which occasion not only the diIIerent groups but the different na- tionalities enthusiastically cooperated in producing a vaudeville program and a dance. Every nationality from the awkward Swede to the suave Oriental rubbed elbows. For the good of the entire league, also, two delegates and the club adviser attended the two-day convention at Eagle Rock, from which these representatives brought home the fC0ntizzzzezz' on page 185

IQ LA DALMA 55 THE Associfrrnn Bovs fC01zzfinz-rea' from page 165 told a fascinating football story, a story of courageous and manly living. At the request of the boys themselves, one speaker dealt with Etiquette Becom- ing To A Citrus Gentleman. The Olympic Games in pictorial review was the occasion for another meeting. The boys have had many social events, such as their retreat to Camp Baldy, but probably the outstanding social event for the year was the Stag Night. Nearly three hundred boys and their dads were present to enjoy the boxing, wrestling, stunts, and re- freshments. The twenty gallons of cider and several hundred doughnuts will long be remembered, especially by those who enjoyed seconds or thirds. The Cougar Knights is an honor group of the Associated Boys. The Knights are ten boys chosen from the junior and senior classes, elected by a vote of the entire boys' organization. lt is the -distinct ambition of every Cit- rus boy to be a Cougar Knight because the boys chosen are very much honored. Every member of the group is pledged to give his utmost energy to the up- holding and furthering of Citrus ideals. During the year, the faculty have ex- pressed themselves as being especially proud of the activity of the Cougar Knights group. figlrlrrn Ti-IE GIRLS' LEAGUE cC071li71LlC'l! from page 161 helpful slogan of the year: Learn to act with and for others, learn to think for yourself. But large organizations cannot al- ways accomplish the best type of serv- ice. ln fact, the girls learned at the fall convention that a large group is best for emotional stimulation and small groups for intellectual, therefore, the small group, the girls' clubs, have undertaken school services and have as- sisted the administration by calling on pupils who did not return to school promptly at the opening of the year, by calling and taking flowers to the sick, by keeping flowers in the cafe- teria, by assisting at teachers' banquets, by typing, iriimeographing and filing, and by contributing clothing, canned food, and money to members of the student body and needy families with- in the district. These smaller groups have learned to act intellectually by de- veloping ten diflerent corps of ofhcers who will go out into future school and community life and become lead- ers. A great deal of Red Cross work has been generously done by four of the clubs, a large friendship chest hav- ing been filled with children's clothing, toys, hrst aid supplies, books, and toilet articles, for Mexican rural schools. Thus in the large Girls' League or- ganization, or in some smaller club circle, or as individuals, two hundred and thirty-five Citrus girls have found happiness and usefulness.
