OFFICE HELPERS BOOKS FOR THE PHILIPPINES An office helper leads not only on interesting life but one filled with fun. We go on errands for Mr. Baxter, the counselors, and secretary; assist visitors in any way possible; and answer the tele- phone. The period is used for study if we are not kept busy. If a student thinks he would like to work in the office he says so on his program at the end of the previous term. If the programs have already been made out, he can make application to the coun- selor. We like the job of office helper. Maybe you would, too. Winifred Brown. RALLY COMMITTEE One of the most important of the many groups that operate in Garfield is the Rally Boys. They have the unpleasant and unpopular job of polic- ing and checking over various places and setting things in ord6r. During lunch periods they stand watch to see that papers and lunches are put in the proper wi4.e. In the auditorium they keep order and help with ' PA ' 3 ' sis in charge of our assemblies. At our Irack ' and baseball rallies their bright orange and white hats can be seen bobbing in and out help- ing to keep order at Garfield. Dick Huish. GARFIELD JUNIOR RED CROSS Garfield has been marching along at the top of the list in her RED CROSS work this year. We could write a whole page of our accomplishments. But the most important thing of all is that we were TOO per cent in our membership. We collected $130 from the students in the RED CROSS drive, and the Art Shop, and Sewing Departments made numerous and valuable contributions. I ' m sure that Garfield will keep up the good work next term and during all terms to come. . GIRLS ' GLEE Our Girls ' Glee this semester consists of 92 girls, not including our friend and teacher, Mrs. Lois Young. Glee is a lot of fun with a little work, and when we all work together, as we do, we have but one aim, to bring pleasure through music. During the course of this year we hove provided musical numbers for many school, church, and community programs. Girls ' Glee consists of girls from the Low Seven through the High Nine, and from these girls we have elected the following officers: President— Beverly Drage. Vice-President— Floy White. Secretary— Pat Hayes. Treasurer— Mary Ann Ellis. Our organization takes part in social as well as musical activities. Next year we hope to wel- come many new members because 27 of our present girls will be leaving for high school. Beverly Drage, Virginia Robinson. The schools throughout California have been donating books or money with which to buy new books for the devastated school libraries in the Philippine Islands. Practically all of their books were ruined at the time of the Japanese invasion. This worthy project was sponsored by the School Library Association of California under the lead- ership of our librarian, Elizabeth Patton, who is president of this organization. Garfield pupils, through their advisories and friends, were glad to have a part in replacing some of the many books so urgently needed in the Philippines. OUR LIBRARY Garfield should be proud of its well organized Library. It contains books on all subjects both for reference and pleasure reading which all pupils should use and enjoy. After all, there is nothing like a good book. Pupils who serve in the library as assistants under the guidance of Miss E. Patton, our librar- ian, find their work both interesting and instruc- tive. Different pupils serve each period of the day and are assigned definite duties such as read- ing the shelves, issuing and discharging books, looking for overdue books, receiving and return- ing permits and preparing magazines for the shelves. They also assist in arranging book ex- hibits and Bulletin Board displays which help to interest and encourage pupils to read. Several hundred new books were added to our collection this year and all pupils and teachers were given an opportunity to see these before they were issued. One of the many purposes of the library is to painlessly help the pupils in fheir education. The following pupils have assisted in the li- brary this semester: Holly Anderson, Frances Forsey, Diane Fuller, Bonnie Geist, Charles Gould, Jeannette Humfield, Dorothy Jackson, Sabra Kent, Janet Kidwell, Mar- garet Lawson, Anne Lewis, Evelyn Lothrop, Joanne Lowry, Diane Martin, Nancy Robinson, Frances Russell, Kathrine Russell, Donna Saksa, Suzanne Stamper, Barbara Stemmler, Norman Stout, Don- na Lee Tweedy, Mary Whiston. Joanne Lowry and Holly Anderson. BOYS ' GLEE The Boys ' Glee this year has a membership of almost a hundred. We can be proud of this mem- bership because only those boys with a perfect attendance record (at least, almost perfect) were kept in the organization. The Glee, under the di- rection of Miss Corriveau, sang some excellent numbers such as The Bells of Saint Mary ' s, on May 29 for the P.-T.A. For the first time in two and one-half years Glee emblems are being given to the members. The emblem has marks on it to show how long the boy has been a member of the club, a new idea in Glee emblems. Don Falconer.
