UST as in the days of old when knights more bold we have organizations. In the days of Launcelot, Galahad, and Merlin, a person joined a certain order 'because he was interested in the ideals of that particular knighthood. This is true in San Mateo in 1932. Boys and girls who are inter- ested in a certain activity pledge themselves to that club. Although the members do not have to have vows, as their older brethren did, the mem- bers do promise to uphold whatever traditions have been handed down. These traditions are as sacred to the youth of today as the vows were to the incoming knight.

Numerous Clubs Contribute School lnterest By Hr:1,iaN VANDENBQSS 1,1s'r of the extra curricular activities at San Mateo High School f-fa X might lead one to believe that there were no such things as I Xa, w, heh 7 themes and laboratory notebooks. Such an assumption, how- , ever, would be quite untrue, for in order to derive the benefits CS. ' and pleasures from engaging in these activities, a student must gl first of all qualify in his studies. ' , Q It is evident that the most necessary and important body in the school is the Executive Board consisting of some forty members, all of whom are di- rect representatives of the students. Through this organization, which as- sists the student body president, must pass all matters which pertain in any way to student activities. The organization of the Associated Girl Students offers an outlet for girls who are interested in school life. Perhaps the first event of the season which was of interest was the Little Sister luncheon given in honor of the low freshmen girls. A month or so later the mothers of these newcomers were entertained at a delightful afternoon tea. Throughout the football a11d bas- ketball seasons, the girls sold refreshments at the numerous athletic con- tests. Early in the spring members of the A. G. S. presented their annual ball, a gay affair in an unusual setting of hearts and Valentines. Somewhat later the girls planned for a great event, the A. G. S. Jinx. On the night of this affair members took for their motif grammar school dresses, hair rib- bins, and dollies. They played games which girls of the younger generation enjoy. The Associated Boy Students, although a new org nization at San Mateo High School holds many interests for the boys. The ' 't evening in the fall semester for which the boys planned was that ot' the I' ers and Sons' Ban- quet where a good meal and plenty of clever entertai rent were enjoyed. The most outstanding event sponsored by the A. B. S. i he spring semester was the April Fools' Frolic.
