The success of the Boys' League program this year has been attributed to the cooperation between the faculty advisers and the student committee chairmen, who have worked together to present the many programs and as- semblies. Highlighting the assembly programs that the Boys' League has witnessed this year was an exciting movie that featured the European Le Mans twentyrfour hour road race, in which only thirty-eight cars finished out of the one hundred or more starting. An assembly on hot rods also proved to be very entertaining. The Boys' League also enjoyed attending the various committee meetings, for the study of such vocations as archia tecture, automobiles, military service, skin and deep sea diving, world attairs, and radio, drama, and television, as as well as other interesting groups. The Icebreaker, sponsored jointly by the Boys' and Girls' League, was held this year at the South Pasadena Women's Club because of the unsafe condition of the girls' gym. This was an informal dance which helped new students to become better acquainted with South Pasadena High School. The dance on March 27, sponsored by the Boys' League, was a great success. In advertising the theme of the dance, Roadsters' Rendezvous. amusing assembly skits were offered. At the head of the Boys' League this year was Tony French, who served as president, Dick Skaer aided Tony as vice-president. Secretary and treasurer were respectively Don Gentry and john Mott. ,hs CABINET. FIRST ROXV: Tony Turpin, Ed Jaeger, Pete Westerlind, jack McConnell, jim Roodhouse, Dick Skaer.
