GARFIELD ' S HONOR SOCIETY Garfield ' s Honor Society has been getting along very well this year. There are two hundred and seventy-six pupils in the society this term. This is a very excellent record as it is an increase of one hundred and twenty-six pupils over the number in last year ' s society. Because of the large increase of pupils, there were not enough pins for every member. On April 10a dance was held for the purpose of raising funds to buy the remaining number of pins. A substantial amount was raised and now all members have pins. At the first of the term, an election of officers was held, and the following members were elected: President, Rush Clark; vice-president, Jane Flower; secretary, Betty Read. On March 26, the ninth grades held their annual spring banquet. This banquet was a big success, being attended by abovit two hundred and twenty-five pupils, teachers, parents and honor pupils from Berkeley High School and the University of California. About five weeks before the close of school the eighth grades held their annual party

and two weeks later the seventh grades held theirs. These parties included a short program, a dance and refreshments. Under the skillful guidance of Mrs. Kilkenny, our Honor Society has made a record showing this year. Tom A. Bither. THE COMMUNITY CHEST Again Garfield has succeeded in what she started out to do. The Community Chest has been presented with almost a thousand dollars raised by the faculty and student body of our school. This sum was raised by individual contributions and the proceeds from three enjoyable entertainments. The first entertainment was a program consisting of selected plays from each grade. The Block G Society next gave a dance. The third entertainment was a very colorful play presented by Miss Kidwell ' s advisory called The Sun Goddess. This contribution was received with great applause at the Communitv Chest banquet. Bob Mallary. THE DADS ' CLUB The Dads ' Club has helped Garfield very much again this year. Through the help of this fine organization there is no more to pay on the tennis courts. They also sponsor two Boy Scout troops that are led by Mr. Flanders and Mr. Leland, members of our faculty. They gave a very fine program on April 17th and 18th. They also sponsored a dinner for the fathers and mothers of Garfield pupils. The Dads ' Club has a very fine and efficient set of officers, with Mr. Templeton as president. The members are always willing to co-operate and help out in any case. George Halloran. THE ADVISORY PLAYS The talent of many of our students was brought to light during the plays held at the beginning of the term. The pupils as well as the parents were greatly entertained by the members of their own grades. The members of the high nines traveled over land and sea to many different countries. They visited England with Miss Martin, Ireland with Miss Riley, Japan with Miss Kidwell and a very modern American college town with Mrs. Brennan, while the members of the low nines traveled with Miss Fraser and, on a very colorful pirate trip, with Miss Laurens. If one had visited all the plays it would have been very difficult to choose the best because the subjects varied so. Every member of the school had a chance to participate in some play. During the Community Chest drive the whole school had a chance to see small parts from many of the plays. Some of the advisors chose historical titles, some adventurous and others from famous books and poems. Mr. Hennessey told the school that many of the members of the board cf education felt that these advisory plays were well worth the time and effort. Mary Hartman.
