BOYS' ACTIVITIES SPIRIT IN ACTION BOYS' LEAGUE-What an enormous iob it was for Joeddy Otero, winter president, and George Baffa, summer president, to plan all the events for the league! Every Washington boy is a part of our fine Boys' League, and this term it has been one of the most active ones ever. The football, baseball, volley- ball, tennis and wrestling tournaments are all Boys' League sponsored. Here the fellows may get out at noon and practice for skill in various sports. It's a lot of fun, too! Last semester a car show was held in front of the boys' gym. All types of cars, from a souped-up Model A to a slick looking Lincoln, were on display. Who is Washington's most muscular he-man? The answer to this is determined at the Mr. Washington Contests. Students pick their choice by their enthusiastic applause. To begin Boys' Week in both the winter and summer semesters a Boys' League Assembly was used. Boys received various city and school administration iobs for one day. Several of our Washington boys were sent downtown to participate in their new one-day occupations, while others were busy here at Cherrytree Campus with the task of be- ing principal or even head of the homemaking de- partment. lt was a lot of fun and good experience for the lucky ones. It seems as if dads are left out of a lot of things, so the Boys' League holds a semi-annual Fathers' night. Boys as well as girls bring their dads to this gala affair. Movies, talks, and entertainment are provided, and Dad goes home to say, Gee, I had a swell time. Poor boys! They iust can't persuade the girls into giving up their tags on Girl-Hate-Boy Day.

Ample opportunity ff!!! , 'g SUMMER PRESIDENTS gl, 'to give service is provided about the , l T' f campus. Whether selling candy, running errands, or stacking books in the book- W H, room, the student service contributes nf ,UO l I much toward making thing progress 4 ,f ' smoothly. Sometimes the student service ,J f f , -w worker finds time out to do a little extra , I ' f work on a Latin translation or a book ft I keeping lesson. A deficit of credits may J y , be made up in various ways, working in the teachers' cafeteria, for instance. In the course of his duties each student ser- vice worker acquires many desirable qualities. He may increase his know- ledge of spelling, business procedure, or learn that all he really wants for Christ- mas is his two incisors, scientifically speaking. By-products of filing, typing, and working in an office of administra- tion are neatness and orderly thinking necessary for future success. Operating the switchboard in the Attendance Office may be the beginning of a career with the Telephone Company. Teachers also at profit through the student service work- ers' efforts by having the little odd iobs done, leaving them time to do the big 'l' things that so often get pushed aside. After three semesters of diligent service the student service workers receive five credits. ' f J f . , ,, ,.-' ' f Q? 0 f ,f ' X Two student service workers await Mrs. Neher's instructions.
