ufnd A Boys, Federation The First Building happens to be Egbert's ultimate destination again today. So we find him mounting the steps leading to another division of the Administra- tion Department. I hope, Egbert says to himself, 'fto find Mr. Stone, the dean of boys, in his office. I need that material for my story badly. Mr. Stone, however, has so many boys to oversee and has so many other duties that it is always difficult to find him in his office. In spite of the absence of the dean, Egbert seats himself in a chair by Mr. Stone's desk and prepares to wait for a few minutes. In order to pass away the time, he turns over in his mind some of the things that the dean of boys and the dean of girls do in the course of their daily duties. Little is known of the fact that the deans give council to many boys and girls on things that weigh heavily on youthful minds. Quietly they go about their work, providing books, lunches, clothing, and other necessities for the needy high school students. About this time Egbert realizes that the time is fairly taking wings, so he conceives the brilliant idea of asking Miss Rosenberry, dean of girls, for the in- formation he desires. A pleasant voice coming from the office inquires Yes? It is the voice of Miss Rosenberry. Accordingly, Egbert asks the questions necessary for his story, receives his answers, and retires to a secluded place to compose his write-up for the paper.

There Is A Girlfv League - The young penman, eager for knowledge as he always is, has just uncovered a surprising fact, and he heartily discredits the old saying there is nothing new under the sun. After being a member of the student body for four years, the precocious one, by some unusual catastrophe, has found that the amount of work done by the Boys' Federation and Girls' League is considerably more than he has always imagined. The Boys' Federation, of which every boy in the school is a member, sponsors all the activities which the masculine division of the student body undertakes. An appointed committee arranges the boys' assemblies, which are reputed to be more interesting than those of the girls. The Every Boys' Dinner is an annual ban- quet for all boys, sponsored by the Federation. The boys are the able waiters for the fairer sex at the girls' banquet and in turn the girls serve the boys at their dinner. Egbert served at one of these dinners once and will never forget the occasion. While carrying a tray of dishes he came so near tripping that he resolved never to help again. One of the outstanding events of the year and often scored as the most out- standing is the Mor F ollies. This is exclusively a boys' production. It seems to be a tradition that all the football heroes at this time disguise themselves as nymphs, godesses, and fairies to the amusement of their worshipping fans. All this, however, our hero has known previously, but he has never realized that there was so much work in accomplishing these things. The girls' organiza- tion can readily be compared to the boys' organization. Every girl in the school is a member of the Girls' League which is organized to direct all service and social projects of the girls. Among the many activities which it sponsors are the Co-ed Prom, at which no boys are allowed and where one girl must go dressed as the boy, the Every Girls' Banquet, which is held twio nights in order to accommo- date all the members, and Les F olies, extravaganza deluxe. Like the Boys' Feder- ation the Girls' League maintains a fund from which many students obtain the neces- sities to attend school. All of these facts, Egbert realizes, are quite interesting to the student body, so he promptly supplies himself with a paper and pencil to prepare the story for the next edition of the paper.

Serviee Projects Interest Them - So this is the Central Council! The Wondering scribe on one of his journeys finds himself in the midst of girls. Alas and alo! The unsuspecting young gentle- man has come upon a meeting of the Central Council. Gazing uneasily from one to another he sees the oflicers of the Girls' League serving on the Girls' Central Council. Beside these are the appointed heads of the departments including the service chairman, program chairman, standards chairman, and the editor of the B Square Beacon. Another glance and he discovers Miss Rosenberry, supervisor of the Council, under Whose guidance the group directs the many service projects of the girls. The Girls' League, under this supervision, collects the books and clothes for needy students and aids several charitable institutions of Phoenix. Assisting the Central Council are the four class councils made up of the girls' home room presidents. Every year a convention of Southern California and Arizona delegates from Girls' Leagues meets to discuss current problems of their leagues. Helen Johnson and Florence Montgomery Were the official delegates to the National City, Cali- fornia, convention from Phoenix this year. But wait, the scribe, as surprising as it may be, has again escaped unnoticed. He is now bound for the Federation Cabinet to see how the boys' and girls' organizations compare. E261
