The most important job is sponsoring and giving parties. This year the Girls' League had four major entertainments. First was the dance in january featuring an Indian theme. A juke box furnished music for several enjoyable hours. Second was a successful hot dog sale which satisfied many appetites. Third was a movie sponsored by the league, The Affairs oi Susan. Last, but definitely not least, was the Mother and Daughter Banquet which went over in a grand way. Everyone who contributed to the success of this year's Girls' League deserves a pat on the back.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT CABINET Under the leadership of Clarence Vandenberg, Student Body President, the Cabinet met twice a month to discuss the activities and problems for which it is responsible. One of the most important subjects discussed was the need for a bigger and stronger police force. A few changes were made and a greater police force installed. Other subjects discussed and acted upon by the Cabinet during the year were: programs, rallies, assemblies, and dealings with other schools. se s CONGRESS With Sheldon Nicloaysen as Speaker, Con- gress has put in a year ot much discussion and profitable experience by its members. New amendments and bills were presented, some passed and others did not. Mr. Irwin, a traveling secretary for junior Statesmen, appeared before the Congress sev- eral times and delivered very enlightening speeches on the activities of the junior States- men of America. Several of our Congressmen attended a Iunior Statesmen Convention in San Francisco during the first semester of the year. At this convention they learned how our government operates. All of them seemed to enjoy it greatly. SUPREME COURT With Bryce Stetler as Chief Iustice, and four associate justices, the Supreme Court has done a commendable job of trying cases for offenses against the Student Body Government. They tried every case with all fairness and justice possible.

Sigma Beta Tau, more commonly known as the Commercial Club, started the year off by electing the following officers: president, La- Moine Cook: vice-president, Aina Eastburgg sec- retary-treasurer, Dennise Boome. Evelyn Ennis and Bettie Roberts were elected to Congress. On March 8, 1946, four little Seniors, with Miss Strackbein as chaperon, enjoyed a tour of the big business houses in San Francisco. All had SICMA BETA TAU a good time and came back tired but happy. In the spring the club had a picnic and swim- ming party. The picnic was attended by the usual crowds of ants and flies but we didn't mind at all. After we had stuffed to the limit on our picnic lunch we rested an hour or two and then took to the water. We enjoyed the party, even though our sunburnt noses and backs were quite painful. Living up to their motto We Serve, the Iunior Bed Cross had a full year of doing just that. For the benefit of the wounded soldiers, these members made sixty pairs ot bedroom slippers, and with the assistance of the Art Department completed an assortment of five hundred Christ- mas cards to till San Francisco's urgent quota.
