N2 it ,ff jfsv gg ,L GIRLS' lllllllli Under the fine leadership of Margaret Cameron and Jan Butler, the Girls' League com- pleted numerous successful proiects this year. The semester began with a Big and Little Sister Party that was quite different. Be- sides the traditional introductions by the cabinet and talent program, prizes were given to various freshmen, and every girl had a chance to participate in events. An unexpected sum of S150 was raised for the Albion Street Drive. Bob Ward por- trayed a realistic Santa Claus when he and the cabinet went to give the students their Christmas party. For the first time in the history of Beverly, Girls' Day was held. Members of Girls' League cabinets from seven schools visited Normandy on that day. Officers for the winter semester were Margaret Cameron, president, Jan Butler, vice- president, Katie Hartman, secretary, and Barbara Terman, treasurer. Taking over for the summer semester were Jan Butler, president, Katie Hartman, vice-president, Suzy Tan- nenbaum, secretary, and Marilyn Lindsay, treasurer. Mrs. Leah K. Moore and Miss Jane McClure are sponsors of this group. 'I6

SUMMER Cllll llll Under the leadership of Bob Ward, student-body president, this year's summer coun- cil carried out many activities. The War Memorial Chimes were dedicated at an assembly of May 29. These chimes were secured by an extensive campaign made by the council. The week of April 7 to April ll was set aside as Chimes Week, during which money was collected through the first period classes and by school clubs. On St. Patrick's Day the Quill and Scroll Club sold green tags to all donators and collected for the fund. A noon dance, held during Chimes Week, was sponsored by the Spirit Committee and featured Hugh Knox's Stardusters Band. The Knights' auction was another means of collecting money. During this Chimes Week over S1100 was donated, and the twenty-one note keyboard chimes now ring out three times a day, recalling to the minds of the students all the faculty and alumni who served in World War ll. Another proiect of the council was to study the club problem at Normandy and, with the aid of a faculty committee, to try to find a way to improve student participation in such school organizations. President Bob Ward, Vice-President Lucky O'Keefe, and Commissioner of Publicity George Fernbacher represented Beverly at the Bay League Forum held this semester at Inglewood. School yearbooks and All Bay League Football were the topics of discussion at this meeting. Members on the summer council were Bob Ward, Lucky O'Keefe, Betty Jane Winslow, George Fernbacher, Rea Parkhurst, Ronny Carpenter, Nancy Noble, Becky Holt, Marge Jacobs, Boyd Peterson, Lianne Schroeder, Marilyn Borden, Betty Thompson, Andy McGhee, Joan Leavitt, Jack Skinner, Dorothy James, David Phelps, Jay Briggs, Janet Ewing, Jackie Akridge, Bob Badham, Marilyn Lindsay, Joan Levey, Jackie Springer, and Shirlie Ford. Mr. K. C. Mitchell serves as faculty adviser to the council. 'I5

During the year the group sponsored two assemblies, one dealing with wrestling and the other introducing Johnny Baker, football coach of the Los Angeles Dons. A cleanup campaign was held during the second semester. The Boys' League cabinet ioined with the Alphas, Knights, Squires, and Girls' League cabinets to put over this cam- paign, and each group patrolled the lunch patio one day a week. The results of this drive were very successful. Although in the summer semester it was difficult for the cabinet to obtain dates for activities, several tentative dates were made for the fall semester. Officers for the first term were Sandy MacKinnon, president, Craig Nason, vice-presi- dent, David Willardson, secretary, Buzz Talmadge, treasurer, and Herb Buswell, commis- sioner of Boys' Athletics. For the summer semester Dewey Hecht was president, Dick Wil- liams, vice-president, Wayne Knickmeyer, secretary, John Brame, treasurer, and Tom Jones, commissioner of Boys' Athletics. Mr. William C. Doc Morrison sponsors the group. 'I7
