The officers made strenuous attempts to increase the etiiciency and systematize the work of the different committees, besides sponsoring assemblies in which sports' manship, conduct, and athletics were stressed. Three important activities were sucf cessfully promoted, two being of an administrative and one of social nature. The first of these, the changing of the meeting time of the Boys' Court from lunch period to homeroom, has greatly increased the efficiency of that organization, as it enables more meetings to be held and reduces the time between the offense and the trial. The organization of the Beverly Knights occupied the attention of the officers during the latter part of the W '29 term. This group, chosen for high scholarship, service, and active interest in the many phases of school endeavor, will be one of the most important factors for student welfare. As a social event a Halloween dance was given with seventyffive couples in attendance. A thrilling football victory over Cwensmouth in the afternoon made the affair a real celebration besides providing a choice subject for conversation, as battered gridiron heroes steered beautiful maidens through the throng in room T01 H61

V Tfmuff' K Second Semester BGYS' LEAGUE The Boys' League, organized for the purpose of handing the hoys into an efficient organization to cope with the problems that present themselves in a modern school, has operated in such an effective manner as to prove to all, its worth and value in our school. One of the chief functions of the League is to sponsor the Boys' Court. This court, composed of the officers of the League, and three associate judges, meets practically every homeroom period and tries all cases where boys have violated school ordinances. Another part of the League organization is the committee work. Of these the most important are the hounds committee, the auto patrol, and the hall guards, all working in conjunction with the Boys' Court. The Boys' League has grown until it is one of the largest and hest organized factions in the student body and one of that can he depended upon to get behind every movement that is for the advancement of Beverly High. The hard work of the officers and the efficiency of the committees led to a successful termination of the term's work with many accomplishments and many improvements about the school. E273
