Did we hear you say you never get to be in anything? WVell, be quiet and let me tell you about a club that everybody is a part of, every girl that is . . . no boys are allowed. The Girls League is a very active club com- posed of all the girls in C. H. S. The league has been doing a wonderful job this year with the president, Shirley Greenblatt, out in front all the way. Funds lor the club are raised by operation of the candy counter. The counter is run by the girls each noon. Also candy is sold at games and B League Tournament. This year the Girl's League room was redone with the money very nicely. A year round activity ol' the club is the elec- tion each month ol' a girl who represents a line of the creed for that month. Tlre unusual happened when two girls received the honor once in the junior and once in her senior year. Phyllis Libby and Dorothy Teeters were the honored. Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter find the girls out delivering cheer to the old folks and food to the less fortunate. Each Frosh girl has an older Girl's League member for an adopted big sister to show her around and help her get acquainted in the school when she first arrives at CHS. Boys Club officers. Top row, Frank Brown, president. Bot- torn row: Richard Dodds, vice-presidentg Gary Ely, secretary- tfedfufff. Girls League officers. Seated in the front row: Ioanne Forstrom, second 'vice-presidentg Lavela Smith, secretaryg stand- ing: Shirley Greenblatt, president. In the second row: Jeanine Jones, treasurerg Joanne Caryl, first vice-president. ATN HECK! Sure wish you girls would quit yelling about your old Girls League. We boys have our own club, the Boy's Club to be exact. The Boy's Club is one of the most active clubs in Centralia High with every boy boasting membership which is automatic. A big event of the year is the annual Turkey Shoot held in the school cafeteria. The winner walking off with a prize turkey. The shoot is usually an event ol the Thanksgiving season. The boys also have an annual Smoker held in the gymnasium where the boys can show their prowess as boxers. just as the girls have a big and little sister party to welcome the Frosh girls, the boys have a Freshman mixer for the male Frosh. The club is just a friendly get-together with meetings being held once a month. The purpose of Boy's Club is to make incoming Frosh more at home, help keep the school grounds clean and act whenever called upon such as putting on an assembly or meeting with Girls League oflicers to decide upon activities. The meetings are varied and catch the interest ol all the boys.

To be a valedictorian or a salutatorian it not only takes a lot of natural ability but also hours and hours of hard work along with the ambition and initiative to get in and get the Work done. Marilyn Robinson, valedictorian, with a very high grade average of 3.94 worked hard for the honor and deserves credit for every bit of her work. Ron Brecleel, with an average of 3.81 got runner-up honors and became sal utatorian. Breokel and Robinson Lead Scholars Taking a big serving at one of the Torch Honor parties held for all CHS students on the honor roll is Joanne Farstrom and Frank Moulton. Pictured at the counter are Bonnie Crowe and Carolyn Moore. Smart? Yes, sir! You have to be smart to belong to the Torch Honor club. The club is made up of all the students who are am- bitious and smart enough to get on the honor roll. To be on the honor roll you have to have over a B average. The club has over fifty students and is active throughout the school year. This year Miss Lillian Briggs has been the club advisor. The club has a yearly assembly. A great deal of time is spent on the assembly, and the other members of the studentbody look for- ward to seeing it. The assembly this year was a mocking teachers meeting, with the members of Torch Honor taking the part of the teachers. The Torch honor members also have a party each quarter for getting on the honor roll. This also includes all other students in school whose grades are above a B average for the quarter. Refreshments and entertain- ment are the order of these meetings.
