This precedes the Christmas holiday and all clothing collected is turned over to the Sunshine House for distribution among the needy in the Phoenix area. Planning for this year's drive was started in October. Radio, television and newspaper. publicity played an important 'part in making the drive successful. Techis R.O.T.C. Batallion furnished men to help with the truck driving and to assist the National Guard in the actual collection of the clothes. Last year the Boys' Alliance received state wide recognition for collecting over 3,941 pounds of clothing, this year they almost trippled that amount by collecting 10,750 pounds of clothing. The all-city drive took place on December 11, 1954 and Tech's R.O.T.C. Battalion Headquarters was a beehive of activity from early morning until evening.

Because the Clothing Drive is so much a part of Tech, the school shops compete against one another to see which one can bring in the greatest amount of clothing. The Twenty-Five Club of Phoenix presents a trophy to the shop contributing the most. This year the trophy was won by the Machine shop with the Welding Shop running a close second. With the Clothing Drive written up as a HUGE SUCCESS , the boys turned to activities of a less strenuous nature. They sponsored the Faculty vs. Studentsl' volleyball game and, workingpwith the Drama- tics Club and the Girls' League, they participated in presenting the all school play. This was followed by an- other activity co-sponsored with the Girls' League. the Gordo-Sadie Hawkins-Rodeo Dancef, Shortly thereafter they sponsored their own Guess VVho,' Dance to con- clude a very successful year.

One of the serv- ices it renders is the distribution of toys, food and clothing to needy families. Every girl at Tech is a member of Girls' League so it is the largest girls, organization in the school. Girls in each shop elect one of their group to represent them on the Central Council which is the governing body of the Girls' League. The Central Council meets once a Week under the direction of Mrs. Jinnett Kirk and Mrs. Beatrice Grevenberg to plan the activities of the group. The girls learn the fundamentals of democratic procedure as they Work on committees, report to the membership and conduct campaigns for election of officers. The Girls' League sponsors many activities at Tech. One of the first affairs on the school social calendar is the annual Get- Acquainted Party Where new friendships begin and old ones are rekindled. The girls serve as ushers at the home football games. Members have an opportunity to compete in the Talent Assembly and to participate in the monthly all girls, assembly programs.
