In one of its most prominent years, the Boys' League provided the newest type of enter- tainment for the student body in two excellent movies, The Bengal Lancers and The Plainsman, which were given as assembly programs. They promoted two dances, which were co-sponsored with the Girls' League. Funds cleared from the films were used to pay for the orchestras of Edward Perry and James Mc- Crohen. An Upper Class Control, composed of Senior boys with some juniors, was organized to curb rowdyism in the halls. At regular Boys' League meetings Captain Bridget, of the Stockton Air Field, spoke to the group on Army aviation training, and Captain Drais, of the Highway Patrol, lectured on safe driving. Short movies on the Coast Guard, on Army maneuvers, and on baseball were also part of activity periods. R. Chatton, A1lI'i.Yl'fQ L. Piccinini, Sl'I'.Q1'1Il1f-df-ItVIIIXQ L. Bronlan, I'l'1'xif1mlg ml.

Girls' League to which every girl in Manteca Union High School belongs, is one of the more active organizations of the school and was founded in 1924 with the purpose of creat- ing friendship, courtesy, good-will and helpfulness among the girls. Georgie Ann Hafley was the first president and Mrs. Frank Jesse was the first adviser. The year 1941 was hailed as one of the most successful of all Girls' League years. Getting off to a good start, the League gave a Big and Little Sister party and followed with the fall Hi Jinks, to which everyone came as hill-billiesf' Other activities were the Christmas program to secure food for the annual baskets for needy families, Valentine,s Day dance co- sponsored by the Boys' League, Spring Hi Jinks, a movie, Mothers' Tea, and a May Day dance.
