The Girls' League at Granite sym- bolized teamwork, unity, friend- ship, and fun. I attended a special assembly in September and learned of the activities and duties per- formed. After this came Dads' and Daughters' Night. My pop and I joined in the tie-tying contest, stuffed ourselves with ice cream and cake, and contended for the prize waltz, finally won by lean Miller and her dad. The big and little sister relations were increased by the league's traditional party in February, where we enjoyed a fashion show, program, and a de- lectable supper. This year girls were honored with a weelc's cele- bration beginning with Girls' Day and a semi-formal dance in the evening. I felt as blirhe as spring itself in my swirling cotton dress, that, if I do say so, was a master- piece of seamstress-ship. At the dance couples swayed to Curt Anderson's melodious rhythm, while towering air castles, sand- men, fleecy sheep leaping over fences, and a glittering midnight sky furnished a dreamy atmos- phere. With anticipation, Girls' League officers open Christ- mas gifts from Miss Pehrson. Pleased with plans for Farmers' Fling, Boys' League officers leave the meeting. Waiting for Girls' Council meeting to commence are Barbara Brown, Joyce Plant, and Connie Gilbert.

I admired the efficiency of the courageous hall committee, who endured the loneliness of dark and drafty halls, minimized sluffing, directed strangers, kept tardy records, and fought valiantly to fulfill their often unpleasant duty. They became essential to a smooth- running and systematic school. Their work was supervised by Miss Pehrson and Miss Wilcox, who maintained careful records of members. I joined with others in extend- ing heartiest congratulations to the hall committee for establishing justice and striving for students' inalienable rights. sas at X Q xSX X X I 1 Q , rs w W., s ess X ' ?

I realized that these watchful sentinels made it possible for us to enjoy our assemblies and also gain the knowl- edge that they offered. By maintaining order this responsible group established an honorable reputation for Granite High School.

Boys' und Girls' League CDSCI1. Soon after my arrival at Granite, my home-room class was kind enough to elect me their representative to the Boys' League. ln the first meeting Mr. Thorum, dean of boys, took charge of the election of officers. jack God- dard was chosen as president, with Monty Howard and Ken Olsen as vice-presidents. The list of our ventures is an honorable one: we presented the Hallowe'en dance, Farmers' Fling g we produced Character Day, which gave every student a chance to wear throughout the day any outlandish costume. We sponsored the annual beardfgrovving contest. 19 Chatting over plans for Girls' Week are Girls' League officers, Dorothy Wallin, Fay Sorensen, and Variet Sor- THEY WERE ALWAYS READY TO HELP SOLVE DlZZY PROBLEMS Boys' League Officers Monty Howard, jack Goddard, and Ken Olsen take a breather from heated discussion on penalties of sluffing.
