135 STRIDING ACROSS CAMPUS, the student body ap' officers of this year talk things over: Har- s, old Witchey, Bruce Smith, and Charlie W 4 Oatvnan. ' swf ffm eff 5 has been higher orale than ever The largest project that the students of North Phoenix High School under- took this year was the building of a recreation center for themselves to be known as the Nlustang Corral. Despite a pessimistic outlook at the beginning, the outcome of the Mustang Corral to date has been more than successful, particularly in finances. In a four- Week drive during the second semester, approximately S2500 was collected from the students. The plans for the recreation center were framed in an Executive Committee meeting in December. Presented to the students at an assembly and an issue of THE ROUNDUP, it Was accepted enthusiastically. VVork on it began almost imme- diately. VVhile the plan is a long-term one, to include a recreation building to be con- structed after the War, much of the Work has been done this year by student labor. Besides leveling the grounds, students planted trees and hedges. As things are going now, future Mustaiigs will have many hours of fun to look forward to in their own recreation Center, the Mustang Corral.

Iiew K. Barney, North Phoenix High School has had what is perhaps the most progressive student government organization in its short but tradition- filled history. The year has been marked by student co-operation and school spirit in all branches of student life. Not only did the students back the athletic teams in their efforts, but they Were behind all Work and suggestions made by any branch of student government, be it Student Council, Executive Committee, or Honor Court. This year has marked the beginning of a new student faculty organization known as the Honor Committee. Composed of the Executive Committee, Honor Court, and members of the faculty, it has brought closer co-operation between the students and teachers and solved many problems that have concerned the school as a whole. 1121

A girl automatically becomes a member of the League upon entering school and is expected to take a part in its activities. The dues are fifteen cents a semester and are used to pay for the social work of the organization, such as assisting girls who cannot pay for their lunches and buying uniforms for those unable to do so. ln the fall of the year comes the long awaited Blue and Silver Ball. Held in our gym, this dance was attended by approximately five hundred couples. Also the League runs a date bureau and a usedgformal shop on the side. Comes Spring and the Fvery Girl's Dinner, attended by the girls in their home room groups. Bach group decides what food it will have and what its table decorations will be. These decorations are judged and prizes are awarded. To keep the incoming freshmen from facing their first year at North High feeling too forlorn and lost, each one is provided with a ffbig sisterf, This big sis- ter is an older, more experienced girl, usually a sophomore, who shows the fresh- man around school and explains to her the Honor System, the opportunity room, and all the things that make high school seem so complicated to the young. l c 14
