GIRLS' LEAGUE ORLD Friendship was the theme for all Girls' League assemblies this year, and it was carried out by having different nationalities of the school give an entire program. The League has sponsored many other activities. A tea was given to the freshmen girls to enable them to get better acquainted with the Cabinet and other freshman girls. Then came Hi-Jinx, this year given the name Bookland. Patricia Plum- mer and Phyllis Mace won the prizes for the best-dressed characters from books. After enjoying a program presented by the Junior Col- lege Skitters Club, the girls went to the Bookland Dance I-Ialln for dancing and refreshments. The evening was topped off by slumber parties at the homes of the girls. Enjoying a very delightful week-end of social activities and lectures, Mrs. Sheldon, Wyfnona Ellington, and Clella Brubaker attended the fall Girls' League Convention at the Los Angeles High School. just preceding Christmas vacation, the annual Girls' League Charity Drive was sponsored with much success. The Citrus Girls' League has been very active in previous years, and the girls this year have tried to maintain the high standard. Officers were Clella Brubaker, presidentg Betty Blackwell, vice presi- dentg XVynona Ellington, secretaryg and Evelyne Kuhn, program chair- man. -Clella Brubaker 20

I Pl RKINS C ooze. lAlYNliS, Melaaon, Mu.l.l1k. STUDENT BCDDY SSEMBLIES loom large among Citrus Student Body responsibilities. This year, assemblies have been different in several respects from those of last year. Less frequent meetings and a new seating arrangement have resulted in greater student cooperation and fewer absences. Our own students supplied much of the entertainment. At one time we were very fortunate in bringing to our campus the president of the Y. M. C. A. in America, popularly known as Dad Elliot, who gave the high school and junior college Z1 very inspirational address. Then who can ever forget the Whittier College Men's Glee Club? The old tradition of Citrus hats, pom-poms, and banners was resur- rected and sponsored by the Big C and Cougar Knights. These evi- dences of Citrus spirit stimulated our attendance at games. We are very proud of the fact that more student-body tickets were sold this year than last and that the attendance at the games was nearly perfect. This year has witnessed unexpected changes in leadership. Illness pre- vented Fred Hynes, president-elect, from performing his duties until after the Christmas holidaysg and in his absence Jean McLeod, vice- president, presided. A trip during the autumn football season deprived us of our yell leader, Margaret Cookg and Humpy Golter, Junior Col- lege yell leader, officiated in her absence. In spite of these and other unexpected rearrangements, we call it a good year. --Jean McLeod 19

R F' Rau' 2: VANDER S1.uls, B. TIMhIONS, Ex.LlNu'roN, SEIMEARS. Row I: G. PuAk, LUMPKIN, ASSOCIATED BOYS AND CCDLJCAR KISIICHTS N this the fifth anniversarv of the Associated Bo s and the fourth . I Y year of the Cougar Knights, both organizations have soared to new heights in activity and effectiveness. j. RAY, CLAY. The Associated Boys started this epic year of achievement under the capable leadership of President Bill Timmons and Secretary-Treasurer Bill Vander Sluis, with Vice-Principal D. XV. Sturges acting the role of adviser. The Associated Boys met once a month in a divided assembly, at which time a special message was brought, either by some member of the faculty or by an outside speaker. Among the assemblies of note were talks by alumni of Citrus, bearing on the growth and development of the school. According to these expounders of history, the students of Citrus have just reason to be proud of their lusty predecessors who built up spirit and tradition from almost a minus quantity to the present lofty heights. Sir Knight John Clay rounded his willing group of Cougar Knights into a smoothly working organization which was largely instrumental in maintaining a high degree of Citrus Spirit to the last day of school. Together these two organizations have carried out all the traditions of Citrus, instituting improvements where necessary, and achieving the high type of effectiveness which has made nineteen thirty-Hve a year to look back on with pride. -Thurman Perkins 21
