Boys' League Dear Diary: Dean of Boys Max Appleby, the high school boy's friend has sponsored J. B.'s Boys' League in its third year. George Husted was chosen to head the league by the mascu- line half of our campus. Peter Stofle was next in command. Sinking his hands into the treasury was Stanley Rand while Phil Rothschild was kept busy in the pen and paper department. The winter cabinet helped to make the league mainly a service rganization. The fellows sold all the programs for the big Burroughs- urbank football game and supervised parking of cars. The boys endered a great service to both schools when, in spite of rainy skies, thousands of people showed up for the rival battle. A sports assem- ly was another of B. L.'s proiects. Our coaches and Racket-mad edigan spoke on their favorite sports. The season was highlighted nd movies were shown of the Beverly Hills Varsity football game nd the one quarter scrimmage of the Varsity and Bees in basketball. ' Diary, we'll never forget the faculty-student basketball game in January. The teachers trained for weeks on Yami Yogurt and Black trap Molasses to prepare for the big game. Vita -Barnes led the aculty cheering section. Somehow the student team was whipped mercilessly by a ten-point margin.' With the coming of summer to our J. B. campus came Stanley and as head' man. He was capably assisted by second in command hil Rothschild and Don Bowden, who took down golden words and Jack O'Rourke served as money man. The fellows put in some hard work and produced a wonderful assembly featuring the Indianapolis Speedway and the finer points of driving a race car. The nicest affair thrown by the B. L. was the banquet for graduating lettermen End lettergirls. lt was co-sponsored by G. A. A., Girls' League and he Letterman's Club. The banquet wound up a very successful year for the 1951 Burroughs Boys' League. f cfs, Q. .

The Girls' League is leaving behind many new and clever traditions. Some of the many traditions which will be long remem- bered are the New Girls Tea for the girls coming to J. B. for the first time. And remember the Lick Burbank Suckers which we sported so proudly and the donut sales which reimbursed our Pat Prince, winter President of Girls' League, treasury' had 0 fl-'ll Semesief- The Blue and Silver Ball was the climax of a traditional Backwards Week which included the following events, Hat Day, Loud Shirt and Slack Day, Clash Day, Mums' the Word Day, and Hi Day. The Senior Teas have always been the lost tribute the Girls' League pays to the graduating senior girls. 3 It sure was fun to be a Big Sister to the incoming sopho- J mores. Remember the Date with Dad and the fun it was to charles- ton with Pop. And Stunt Day - need we say more? We sent two of our Girls' League members to the Convention in Arizona and we hope it will prove fruitful. We won't soon forget the helping hand we gave Odette. May Girls' League continue the fine work and have the fun that we, the 'graduating seniors, have had - serving the Girls' League of John Burroughs.
