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

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.

PRES!-IMAN CLASS NE of the biggest events in our lives occurred when we as the class of '38 entered the portals of Citrus Union High School. We were like tiny ducks in a very large pond. However, so cordial was the greeting of the Citrus faculty and upper classmen that the little ducks felt quite at home. What have we to be proud of? Our first success was the winning of the Girls' League Charity drive. That, upperclassmen, is worthy of your admiration. Girls who made the freshman basketball team were Lois Parsons, Bertha Marie Seimears, Nellita West, Nancy Cook, and Arline Lewis. Boys who received a letter on the B and C football teams were Harold Peak, Robert Knowles, Glen Casper, Louie Roberts, jack Ray, and Cornelius Ayon. Girls who went out for hockey were Nellita West, Evelyn Lee, Louise Reddin, Frieda Corder, Delleen Rud- dell, Dorothy Baker, and Arline Lewis. Freshmen who showed them- selves outstanding in tennis were Evelyn Lee, Bertha Marie Seimears, Kathryn Dana, and Frank Le Fever. We elected Kenneth fWimpyj Turnout for class yell leader, with Glen Casper as his assistant. With the help of Mr. Sturges and Miss McKusick we chose the following yells for our class: 22
