Thrift Thrift is being taught successfully and notably in the Los Angeles Schools under a definite course of study and practice. Because of its bearing upon character and the happiness that comes from financial independence this subject has become as im' portant as reading, writing and arithmetic. In Robert Louis Stevenson there are two captains from each grade, a girl and a boy. Monday is Thrift Day mainly, but in fact every day is a thrift day. On each Monday the captains give speeches to the various home rooms, take reports, and supply the home rooms with banks. The Thrift Captains from the several grades are as follows: From the A9 class Iuanita Balz and Wesley Winchellg from the B9 Alma Lncatorta and Edward O'Connor. The A8 sent Phillip Friedman and Hazel Anderson as their representative. B8 selected from their group Marion Gerichs and Irving Schnitzer. The A7 class elected Evelyn Banks and Jimmy Killaris while the B7 members of the committee are Diana Corecki and Dustin Glade. If4ll

Boys' Athletic Association ln the modern school the playground has become one of the most important instruments for the education of our boys and girls. We believe that playing the right kind of games helps to prepare us to live the right kind of life after leaving school. For this reason the Boys Athletic Association has been organized. It consists of six clubs whose membership includes every boy in the school. It is a student directed activity which elects its own olhcers. directs its own games. and gives its own rewards. After all the proper kind of team work in our games in school is exactly the kind of team work which the lnen and women of our city are displaying in their everyday life, The player who thinks only of his team and does his best to make it a winner is very apt to learn how to make himself a very important member of any organization. The club managers have the very important duty of directing the work of the six clubs. They meet at least once a month and they have made some very definite plans for the betterment of the association. They have also secured the organization of an 0iiicial's Association. This is a trained group who umpire the games. keep the scores and keep the time for all the games. The ollicers of the association for the Winter Class were: ,lack Bromley. Presidentg Bill Parr. Vice-President: Harold Sprankle. Secretary: Carl Arnold, Yell Leader. For the Summer Class we have, Harry Smith. President: Ralph Felix. Vice-President: Reuben Kaloian, Secretaryg Guy Muto. Yell Leader. Student Council The Student Council meets every Friday afternoon. It is comprised of the Student Body Ollicers and one representative from each grade.
