As the representatives of all the boys of Boise high school, the Boys' federation has done much to add to school life. Such customs as giving baskets on Thanksgiving and Christmas were again carried out by this group, headed by Charles Lenfest president, Vern McGowan vice president, Chris Alex- ander secretary and Wayne E. Peterson treasurer. The federation put on its annual rally before the Nampa-Boise football game. The formal Christmas dance, with its beautiful decorations, carried out the yuletide theme. Every boy in Boise high school is a member of the federation, while each class chooses its own representatives to meet in a councilg each to discuss the problems and needs of all the boys and to promote good feeling among the classes. Through the efforts of the federation much interest has been shown in school activities and it made many progressive steps toward bettering the school. This organization is one of the main factors in the administration of Boise high's student body and contributes much to its pep and good sportsmanship, as well as helping boys to accustom themselves to their three years of senior high school life.

Seth Freer, Dean of Boys Clara Otness, Dean of Girls Page 14 rqcffnzlnuhalian . . Boise high school lite has moved in the same well-ordered and regulated paths this year as in past years. Again, the credit must go to the school administration: Zed L. Foy principal, Seth T. Freer dean ot boys, and Miss Clara Otness dean ot girls. Students have an initiative type ot government, as their activities are governed by the ettorts they expend, but a great deal ot the planning passes through the hands ot these three. Mr. Foy heads the taculty group. lt is his duty to make arrangements tor assemblies during school hours and to schedule school attairs tor the evening. The task ot visiting incoming students and explaining the procedures ot enrollment was lightened considerably this year by absence ot a treshman class, due to the new junior high. Mr. Freer's ready wit aided him constantly in his supervision ot a study hall, detention and noon study groups . . . all of which were his specialduties. l-le acted in an advisory capacity to boys Wishing employment and to those whose work was unsatisfactory, and had charge ot delinguents. Miss Qtness, in the position ot dean ot girls, served as adviser to the Girls' club, an organi- zation made up ot all the girls in the school. She was also chairman ot the taculty social com- mittee. Grderlies, another group ot great service to the school, were also under her direction. Zed L. Fey, Principal
