Girls’ League The girls'work bears fruit as many couples enjoy the annual Girls' League. The purpose of the Girls' League is to provide a social outlet for the girls of CHS. In order to do this, the League has several activities each year. These activities include a Tea in May for the future freshmen, a banquet, a formal dance, and the state convention. The banquet this year was held in the fall. It was a semi-formal banquet with an Oriental theme. The annual formal dance was held on October 24, 1959. The gym was beautifully decorated in gold and white, fitting the theme of Bella Noche, which means beautiful night. Eight of the most outstanding members attended the State Convention held in Phoenix in April. The Girls' League officers for 1959-60 are: president, Carol Scott; vice-president, Arleen Blair; secretary, Rena Esparza; and treasurer, Nancy Aguinaga. GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL.

(Not shown: Jean- ette Nelson, Editor) Desert Song The Desert Song is published in order to bring to the student body and the faculty the latest news in important events occurring around the school premises and on the sports field. Each member of the student body is given a paper without charge. In order to defray ex- penses of the paper, advertising space is sold to local merchants at the beginning of the school year. On December 16, 1959, the Desert Song and Trojan staffs gave a Christmas party in the band room for staff members and guests. On behalf of both staffs, Jeanette Nelson presented a cor- sage to Miss Chancellor in appreciation of her sponsorship. In the spring a few staff members were chosen to attend the press convention held at the University of Arizona for further training in publishing a better school newspaper.
