Qeafd' .feagfue alike Left to Right: Margie Tidrow, Alta Mc- Williams, Lois Carpenter, Nora Davis, Ruth Frazier Joyce Lamb, Britta Lindfors, Miss Swanson. The cabinet of the Girls' League is elected the preceding year in order that the activities may begin at the first of the year. The cabinet was elected as follows: President, Alta McVVilliams, Vice- President, Ruth Frazier, Secretary-Treasurer, Britta Lindfors, Check-up Chairman, Margie Tidrowg Big-Little Sister, Glenn Bryant, Program Chairman, Nora Davis, Service Chairman, Esther Mihe- litch, Dean of Girls, Miss Swanson.. Due to the fact that the students filling the oHices of Big-Little Sister and Service Chairman moved away, Lois Carpenter and Ioyce Lamb were elected to the cabinet. The Annual Girls' League Conference was held this year at Pacific Grove on October 19, 1940. Alta McVVilliams, Britta Lindfors, Lois Carpenter, Margie Tidrow, Esther Mihelitch, and Miss Swanson attended the conference from Paso Robles. The highlight of the day's program was a round table discussion conducted by the Monterey High School. The Girls' League adopted a new point system this year. The girls eligible for awards at the end of the year will be those who have earned their points available by wearing complete uniforms, being a cabinet member, serving committees, or doing something outstanding for the Girls' League. An accurate account is kept by the Point System Committee which is to meet every two weeks. The Girls' League dance this year was held on january 17, 1941 at the Grammar School Audi- torium. After some discussion it was decided that the dance be semiformal. The dance having a Spanish theme was ably directed by Elsa Douglas. Music was furnished by TH1SSlCf,S Orchestra and the dance was rated as a success. The final event of the Girls, League is the installation of new officers accompanied by the Moth- er-Daughter Tea. A musical program and refreshments followed. VV ith a feeling of regret but great accomplishment, the girls ended the Girls' League work for another year, hoping the coming year would be as successful. P. R. Sade lift to Right: Pearl German. Ruth Frazier, Ella Von Dollcn, Marie Von Dollen, Donna Dresser lois Carpenter, Miss McPeak, The beginning of this school year found only four members in the P. R. Society: Lois Car- penter, Pearl German, Ella Von Dollen, and Ruth Frazier. These members were initiated at the end of last year by wearing silly clothes to school. New ofhcers were elected for the coming year. Lois Carpenter was elected President, Ella Von Dollen, Vice-President, Pearl German, Seeretaryg Miss McPcak, Adviser. All members ordered their sweaters, which are red and white stripes, and bought their letters. After basketball season, two new members had earned enough points to be admitted to the club. These members were Donna Dresser and Marie Von Dollen. Initiation was postponed until the end of the year when they would be initiated with other new members. Duc to the long rainy season, the club wasn't very active, although several pot luck dinners were enjoyed during the year and meetings were held each month. The system for earning points for admittance to the club was a much discussed problem this year. lt was decided the number of points required should be raised as it was too easy for the girls who went out for sports every year to get in the club, without doing any outside sports, such as hiking, horse-back riding, and swimming. The P. R. Society now requires 1200 points. These as a rule would admit a girl to the club if she has gone out for all sports and done outside sport ac- tivities.

Maur: The band, with Mr. Thurlow as instructor, is a well organized and valuable asset to our school. Its sixty members have cooperated with Mr. Thurlow and worked hard to make this band one of which our school and community can be proud, and one which other schools may well admire. They have entertained at football games, ral- lies, P.T.A. benefit concert, and at the Mid- Winter concert. The Future Farmers of Amer- ica, young agriculturists, gathered with their fathers for an evening of fun and feasting-a barbecue made even more enjoyable by music from the band. Music is one of America's favorite forms of entertainment, and that is why the high school's exchange programs with San Luis Obispo and Atascadero schools featured our sixty organized musicians in well-applauded pieces. The ele- mentary school likes to see and hear what is going on in the high school music department, so one day the band surprised them by present- ing a program for their assembly. They can look forward to the time when they, too, can take part in a similar program. Pioneer Day is an annual holiday for fun, relaxation, and gen- eral merriment. Marching in the parade were bands from schools throughout San Luis Obispo county. I-low proud we are when Paso Robles High School band, clad in bright red and white uniforms, marched past us, led by our major- ettes and drum major, james Taylor.! All of the high school bands in the county assembled for the annual band festival at Paso Robles this year on May sixteenth. They marched through the streets and gave a public concert in our beautiful city park. Having an amiy training camp so near has been a new experience for most of us in Paso Robles, and many realize that army life is sometimes lonely. Perhaps that is why the band was welcomed so pleasantly by the inhabitants of Camp Roberts for a program this spring. Student conductors wafting the baton for the band this year were Margaret Brown and Joyce Reid. Of the sixty members, these four compose an effective and adequate executive committee: Margaret Brown CPresidentD, Beverly Lyle, Marilyn Palla, and Donald Tucker. The fall semester will find thirty students from the In- termediate School enrolled, making an even bet- ter balanced band of eighty pieces. Mr. William Thurlow also instructs our school orchesta, which has forty-two members and an executive committee of james Taylor CPresidentD, Bruce Peachey, Betty Iany, and Margaret Brown. The major events of the year were the mid-winter concert, spring concert, and music festival at Cambria. Helping to make the coronation of our lovely queen, Alta McWil- liams, more impressive, the combined -orchestra and band played a processional march as the participants of the May Day celebration program approached the throne. The orchestra played, too, between scenes of the memorable junior and Senior class plays, Murder In Rehearsal , and June Mad . They also played for assembly, Baccalaureate service, and for the graduation ex- ercises. The All-County Orchestra, composed of the sixty best high school musicians in the county, included these fourteen from Paso Robles: James Taylor, Neil Keefer, and Wilma King- violins, Doracille Davis-cello, Margaret Brown and Marilyn Palla-clarinets, Joyce Reid and Bruce Peachey-flutes, Donald Tucker and joe Wiest - trumpets, Clifford Woodrell - basson, Vearl Woodrell-trombone, Nadine Miller- drums, and Betty Iany-piano. This is the second year San Luis Obispo county has had this organized orchestra and, as last year, they met once a month or oftener in different schools and finally crowned their season's activities with a concert during the music festival at Cambria. Although the Swing Band had no real oppor- tunity for showing us what it can do, many of us have heard of it Cor even heard it through the walls of the auditorium when it rehearsed third periodj It boasts eleven full-fledged swingsters and has Mr. William Thurlow to show them how to swing it. Betty Iany presides at the piano, and Nadine Miller manipulates the drums and accompaniments. Margaret Brown and David Moe play both sax and clarinet, what- ever the moment requires. At the string bass are Barbara Lyle and Irvin I-layer and trombonists are Vearl Woodrell and James Taylor. Last but not at all least are the three trumpeters: Don Tucker, joe Wiest, and Bob Coughron. The Swing Band has had lots of fun playing and they really accomplished something. Marilyn Palla was selected historian for the music department and has been organizing a scrabook which will contain printed material, newspaper clippings, pictures, and snaps. It will be something bv which, as years go by, the members of this department will be remem- bered. The four graduating seniors from the instru- mental department are: Dorothy Maltby, who plays baritone, piano, and string bass-Doracille Davis, who plays cello and saxaphone-Joyce Reid, who plays flute and piano-and Margaret Brown, who plays clarinet and saxaphone. Mar- garet Brown deserves a lot of honor for having been chosen to play in the Six-State Western Conference Band. PAGE TWENTY-NINE
