1 + Next on the agenda was the election of cheer leaders, and a new custom was established this year. ln addition to electing four varsity yell leaders, tour sophomore yell leaders were chosen to direct the red and white spirit at the soph games. Throughout the year, several matinee dances were held. The Christmas dance and one held in honor ot our state basketball champions headed these. An awards committee of lack Beach, Andy Harrington, and Elizabeth Wilcox investigated and revised the present awards system. Large red and white block letters were purchased tor the sweaters of the members of the pep band. Drives tor the March of Dimes and the Red Cross were aided by the Student Council. To add to the music ot BHS, a Hammond electric organ was ordered by the council. Boise High School students who gave their lives in the second World War will be remem- bered by the plague purchased this year, and will be honored by the organ to be dedicated to their memory. The annual Christmas tree was decorated in the main hall to give a holiday air to those last hard days ot school before the vacation. Adopted this year was a new class ring with a standardized crest. This ring may be ordered any time during high school with correct numerals tor the graduation date. To close a successful year the final school elections were held and the old council members wished luck to the newly-elected ones. An assembly was held to award athletic letters and silver B's to all major ottice holders. Sally Elison Jack Collins Min Moore Recording Secretary Treasurer A Faculty Advisor 13
