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.
