YO-I-IEAVE-I-IO echoed down the mountain as the freshmen boys made their traditional trip to the E in early September. This anticipated event is only one of the activities sponsored by the Boys' League. President John Brown handled all the preparations for this year's Beat Oceanside Bonfire which climaxed the Cougar football season. Combining their efforts, the Girls' and Boys' Leagues in mid-December jointly presented the annual Christ- mas formal, The Candy Cane Ball. Officers helping to make this year an eventful one were Dale Forney, Vice President, and Dick Merriam, Secre- tary-Treasurer. uu.4w-,, . ,.,. .

The pressure of standards set in previous years demanded many such meetings for a successful season. DRIZZLING RAIN couIdn't quench the spirits of the boys who gathered wood in their pickups in preparation for the Oceanside bon- fire. After scouring the countryside for all sorts of odds and ends, the boys were rewarded when the enor- mous pile went up in flames.
