Council Plans Activities For Girls ' League EACH WEDNESDAY MORNING that the Girls League met, several of us raced to the study hall and hid under the front seats. We enjoyed with the girls the numerous guest speakers who were both entertaining and instructive. Also we were at the Council meetings. The Council is the planning group for the larger organization and is composed of representatives from each class. The new Girls ' League constitution written by Millie Groulx and Lavina Sowers was formally adopted in September and immediately put into effect. Activities engaged in this year by the Girls ' League were the all-girl party, Harvest Hello; the sponsoring of aftergame dances; and the big project of the year, the Winter Fantasy. L. H. S. was well represented at all state conventions; and on April 29, Miss Mor- tensen, Lavina Sowers, Wanda Damron, Crystal Armstrong, and Toby Peterson attended the California-Arizona Girls ' League Convention. Girls ' League officers for 1948-49 were: President Lavina Sowers Vice President Harriette Hansel Secretary Leone Sheppard Treasurer - Crystal Armstrong Sponsor Miss Alta Mortensen STANDING: Sowers.

Council Discusses Student Problems WHEN SOME OF US slipped into Room 55 on the first and third Monday mornings of each month, we heard plans being made for Patrons ' Day and the visit of the eighth grade students. We also heard the problems of the coke machine and the conduct at assemblies being dis- cussed. The Girls ' League constitution was passed upon and the all-day picnic at Mesa organized. Promptly at 9:45 o ' clock each day the Student Council, met, Earl Brown lightly rapped the gavel bringing the members to attention and officially opening the meeting. After Billy Hardison had read the minutes of the previous meeting and Millie Groulx had given the financial report, the immediate problems of the day were brought up for discussion. The Student Council at L. H. S. was always busy, and in all that it did had the best interests of the students and the school in mind. Occasionally the activities of the Council took various members to other schools to study student participation as it was conducted elsewhere. Also in December the four senior officers were sent as representatives to the State Student Council Convention at Flagstaff.

Boys ' Alliance Makes Progress WE WERE ON HAND at the boys ' meetings also, and so we know that definite progress has been made in the establishment of the Litchfield Boys ' Alliance as a club that has for its aim the guidance and character building of all boys in the school. Following the elections in September of members from each class to the Council, this group planned for the year a varied program which included films on personality and talks on various phases of character building and etiquette. The club ' s social highlight of the school year was the Boys ' Alliance first formal dance, the Wild Harvest. This was held in the Community Hall where the students danced amid colorful autumn decorations aid to the rhythm of delightful music. To wind up the year ' s activities, the members of the Alliance selected four softball teams for intramural competition. In all its planning, the Boys ' Alliance Council has had the thought in mind that, It is better to build boys than to mend men. This year ' s officers included: President Bill Lynn Vice President Kenneth Wood Secretary George Templeton Treasurer Vernon Frost Sponsor Mr. C. Coor C44)
