's OFFICERS CONCEPCION VALADEZ EVELYN CACCIA CLARA MAGGINI President Vice-President Secretary GIRLS' Bl0Cll The activities of the girls' Block G began with the initiation of new members. A unique set of ideas was used and the result was some- what as follows: The girls were dressed in their gym clothes with burlap sacks over them, a lemon on a string around each girl's neck, and to finish up the attire, old wornout hose were worn along with old slippers. ln case of rain the girls were made to carry umbrellas and their books in a bucket. At noon the initiates were put through various series of maneuvers. This organization had two noon dances. The schoolls first noon dance featured old faithful, the iuke box, as the source of music. The famous dance band played for the second dance. The annual ljrosh-Soph tie-up was again sponsorcd and supervised by the boys' and girls' Block G clubs. This feature proved to be one of the most memorable activities of this school year for many of the girls. The girls' Block G also united with the boys' Block G to sponsor and supervise the Invitational Track and Field Meet. The girls' division was won by Soledad. Gon- zales came in second, Chualar third and Mission fourth. The girls' Block G sold candy and coke at this event, making a sizable profit, Toward the end of the year the club enjoyed a banquet which drew the years events to a close.

IOHN NUNES ALFRED DOMINGUEZ THOMAS AGUINID President Vice-President Secretary BUYS' Bl0CI'l G The boys' Block an organization for pro- moting better' sportsmanship and friendly com- petition among the boys, is one of the leading and most active clubs in the school. lt is made up of boys who have made either a lightweight or heavyweight block in one of the four sports: football, basketball, track and baseball. The activities of the club started with the Fresh- man-Sophomore tie-up, which is the Freshman initiation. This was followed later by a night dance. The boys sponsored a movie in the early fall. ln the first semester the new football lettermen were initiated in the gymnasium, and it proved to be very amusing. The basketball lettermen will be initiated with the track and baseball lettermen. At the end of the year, the annual boys' Block G barbecue was held. This usually uses up all of the money the boys earned during the year. The club this year will lose many of its active members by graduation. They are: Alvin Piffero, lohnnie Mills, lohn Nunes, Gilbert Yniguez, lohn Piini, Fred Rianda, Allan Wiley, Wade Ham- mond, Dick Gularte, Vernon Cowger, Danny Parker, Alfred Dominguez, lohn Caraccioli, lim Caraccioli, Raymond Pura, lacinto Iaso and Salvador Gomez.
