She also is greatly in favor of furthering student govern' ment throughout the school. The league is divided into various commit- tees with a capable chairman as head of each. The league's schedule is a full one, with activi- ties to keep them busy all year. ln order to swell their treasury, each year they sponsor a Iinx dance on Halloween, which has always been most successful.

They handle photography and publicity, raise money so that a very fragile looking dummy will turn into a thriving annual. 'lv They are the practical influences that auell the exuberant and expensive ideas of the editors with much too realistic facts and figf ures. Without facts and figures we would have an incomparable Maroong without the business staff we would have an impossible deficit. Among their publicity activities the business staff put on comical skits in the divisions to keep students aware that another Maroon is in the making. They are responsible for the bright posters advertising our yearbook, put on dances to make the financial problems lighter. lt is they also who secure ads, and who mediate between the editorial staff and the outside world. With the publication of the Maroon, they and their faculty sponsor, Mr. McMahon, relax with relieved sighs and peace in their hearts at last. she types . . . and the Maroon goes to press. She transforms the brainchildren of the editorial staff so that the printer will have his eyesight for an extra decade. She has the difficult task of typing all copy letter-perfect. She has to please myriads of busy reporters, besides stay' ing long hours at school loyally clicking the keys. There are times when she must type and retype one story again and again. There are times when she can hardly be seen through the stacks of papers surrounding her, especial- ly in those hurried days before press time. She must like contributing to the publication of the annual. She must have solace as she reads the finished book, which depended on her co-operation. We hope she enjoys all this, her only reward. We hope she realizes that the editorial staff thinks of her as a Florence Night- ingale, ready to take the scribbled copy from its tired hands.

Christmas affords them the op- portunity to spread cheer by delivering Christ- mas baskets to the needy families of the neigh- borhood. For the enjoyment of the entire student body and faculty, a committee is selected to purchase and trim an enormous Christmas tree which is set up in Welcome hall during the week pre- ceding Christmas vacation. Two separate organizations, as branches of the league, are the Freshman Guides and Clean-up Committee. Both groups are pictured elsewhere in the book, accompanied by ex- planatory Writeups. Another important branch of the Civic League is the Safety Council. The council plans and executes campaigns to promote fire prevention, safety in the home, and careful driving. The committee, headed by Myra Estrin, has among its members Roberta Hall, Patricia Burt, William Cannon, and Robert Brock. Plans are being made for a safety movie to be presented at school and contact is maintained with the other safety organizations of the city. Aside from their own activities, the Civic League lends a helping hand to the Parent- Teachers' Association when they give entertain- ments or dinners, by offering the services of a very capable committee to sell tickets. As you can easily see, this organization is the backbone of the student body and we are more than proud of their accomplishments. ' CIVIC LEAGUE Row 1--Gray, O'Conn,t Rall, Rapp, Schnieder.
