Fred Whitehurst, Hassie USUPPOSE ,THAT I HAD PEEKEDP' We had an English test Just the other day, With all those horrid adjectives And nouns in great array. - Fr I wrestled long and fearfully And I thought that I should weep, When lo! I saw a paper And I thought that I would peep. I But then, on second thought I wouldn't look at allg It wouldn't be so good, I said, To have my standard fall. So carefully I thought back Of very piece and part, Till I found, to my astonishment, I knew it all by heart. I received my grade this morning And lo! it was an A , Which made me head of all the cl Now, listen to what I say: ,J .. I want to help someone- Thatis why it all has leaked- So, I ask-just think this over Suppose that I had peeked? MILD ass, RED HUFF, A7.

THE GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League of Garfield High School has been one of the most active and successful organizations in the school. The purpose of this association is to develop a high aim in loyalty, service, and goodfellowship, a true sense of patri- otism, promoting the importance of high moral standards and many other things that tend to the proper development of girls. The membership of the league includes every girl attending the school. Although every girl attending the school is a member, not every one attends the league meetings. There are so many girls at Garfield that it would be difficult to carry on a business meeting if all were present. Therefore each Home Room has elected two girls to represent them in a council which meets from time to time as occasion demands. The council reports to the Home Rooms all that takes place at the meetings. In this way all of the girls of the school are kept informed on the plans of the league. The main work at hand is to serve, when a new girl enters the school, it is the duty of each girl to see that she is welcomed and taken care of. Last semester, there were two parties held in the school cafe. The first was given for the seventh and eighth grade girls, the second, for the upper class girls. An especially note- worthy event was the hike on May ZZ. THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is an organization composed of the Home Room Presi- dents. It was organized about the middle of the first semester. The main purposes of this organization are: fll to aid the principals in having matters of importance stressed more emphatically to the studentsg QZJ to enable the Home Room Presidents to have an open forum in which they may bring their problems for discussiong and Bl to help promote cooperation among the students of the school. In reality the organization resembles the House of Representatives of the United States, as there is an equal representation in all the Home Rooms. The Student Council elects a presiding ofhcer, who represents it on the Board of Commissioners. Through him all problems of major importance should be presented. In this way each student has an opportunity to take part in the govern- ment of the school. MERIT SYSTEM There is in Garfield High School a large group of students who may justly be proud of their achievement. These students received, at the beginning of each ten weeks' period, one hundred merits and have retained them through a deter- mination to be punctual and regular in attendance at all classes. This has not always been easy to do. By having no unsatisfactory absence from school, they have earned a bonus of ten additional meritsg for having no unexcused tardinesses, they have earned five additional meritsg and for keeping a merit score of over ninety-Five, they have received five more. There were over six hundred students who had the honor to receive the possible one hundred and twenty merits when the mid-term reports went out. The merit records will be filed term after term, since they are an important source of information on character. Even now the principals are using them in choosing students for important school activities and privileges, and in recommend- ing others who have found it necessary to go to work. These splendid people are eagerly encouraging others to make it their ambi- tion to keep the home room scores high. The rewards of the home room compe- tition are three Garfield banners, which are presented in a student assembly to the home rooms having the highest percentages of merits. Twenty-seven
