ATTENDANCE HELPERS THE BOYS ' ASSOCIATION The attendance helpers play an important part in keeping Garfield ' s program going smoothly. Each period two students give up their study peri- ods in order to help in the attendance bungalow. They collect the slips every period from all the rooms, and then return to the bungalow to sort them. Helpers also do odd jobs for Mrs. Bartell, the attendance clerk, such as looking up the whereabouts of certain students and delivering messages to those in closs. Ninth period they are seen taking around the dreaded detention notices. This term the attendance helpers have done a mighty fine job. Dorothy Baukol. LOCKER ASSISTANTS When a student enters Garfield, he receives o lock and a locker which he keeps until he grad- uates. The care of these articles is entrusted to Mr. Sauers and those two A-1 detectives. Bob Beatty and Ed Carlisle, the Locker Assistants. They are on call day after day to trace down lockers or to help anyone who has forgotten his combina- tion. Mr. Sauers has so much respect for their de- tective work that he addresses them as Gentle- men. They do not work too hard, however, as Gar- field students are quite honest in their locker ac- tivities. Donald Falconer. The Boys ' Association is under the direction of Mrs. Curtice and Mr. McPhee. The Boys ' Associa- tion president had a very successful term. On March 8 the boys were shown a comedy film en- titled The Pincussion Man and a sports film, Football of 1945. During the intermission, Leon Gustafsan played some Boogie Woogie on the piano. On March 27 a special program was given at which pictures of the 1945 World Series base- ball games were shown. April 12, Brutus Hamil- ton, track coach at the University of California, gave a talk on track. With him was Al Rogan, who took his place while he was in the service. All in all, we think it was a very good term. Doug Gordon. TRAFFIC POLICE It is the duty of the Garfield Traffic Police to maintain safety at the street crossings which the students use when coming to school in the morn- ing and leaving it in the afternoon. They may hold the students up a little when they are in a hurry but that is only for their protection. The members drill every Monday morning un- der the direction of Officer Rivera and receive hon- orable discharges at the end of their terms. They do a great service and we appreciate all they do for us. Kenneth Holloman. THE P. A. BOYS Presiding over the realm of electronics at as- semblies. Boys ' Association meetings. Girls ' As- sociation meetings, P.-T. A. meetings and other functions, are the four P. A. boys: the captain, Fred Lothrop; assistant captain, Don Falconer; as- sistants, Karl Mosher and Stanley Newell. These boys are all under the direction of Mr. Hawkins. Work on the equipment is done by Mr. Hawkins and the P. A. boys. Two boys from the Low Nine are selected each term by Mr. Hawkins. They serve until they graduate, a captain being chosen also by Mr. Hawkins. Fred Lothrop. BLOCK G The Block G, after being abandoned for sev- eral terms, was reorganized last fall. We have had a very successful year and have had loads of fun. As this term has been so successful we intend to continue to meet next year. We ' re looking for- ward to many new members as we expect to have even a better time in the future. This year the officers were Gene Hodges, president; Stan- ley Word, vice-president; Bill Rogan, secretary; Granny Siler, treasurer; Denny Kimmaleheo, ser- geant-at-arms. Gene Hodges. GIRLS ' SPORTS The main girls ' sports this term have been bas- ketball and Softball. In basketball, the High Nine team played two games with the Low Nine, win- ning one and tying the other. The class teams played Burbank and Willard with the following results: Garfield Burbank Garfield Willard H. 9 3 19 10 18 L. 9 13 17 16 24 H. 8 13 11 3 5 L. 8 21 22 19 14 Several girls have won pennants. It is hard to do so for very few points are given for each ac- complishment and 125 points are needed for a pennant. Thirteen High Nine girls out of a class of approximately 120 girls have earned them through noon leagues, inter-school games, and track. Other girls have noon league pennants. These are awarded to girls who have played six times on a winning noon-leaque team. Noon league pennants have been awarded to twelve girls in the High Nine. Softball was a very popular sport this term. When the Low Nine girls lined up in the gym to try out for the team, the whole class, with the ex- ception of three girls, was there. Because four teams from the school, instead of the usual two, played, more people were able to participate in the inter-school games. Kathleen Hayes. e
