One outstanding program was featured hv the appearance of Major G. H. Schoof, a world traveler and Canadian Mounted policeman, who had many trophies and souvenirs to show of his thrilling experiences. The annual Stag Party sponsored by the Boys’ League was a great success. Champion parallel-bar men, hand balancers, a troupe of tumblers, and three Olympic weight lifters secured from the Los Angeles Athletic Club were seen on a varied program, which was preceded by a basketball game. In addition a rifle artist, Captain R. L. Harding, displayed some marvelous shooting. Refreshments were served later in the cafeteria. The final track tryouts were staged by the hoys for the exchange assembly with the Girls’ League, as was the case the year before. In return the girls gave a dance after school for the fellows on May 2, for which the Boys’ League extended thanks. Lyman Paine and Jack StanfiM did highly commendable work as wel- fare chairmen, while Gaylord Mercer and Perry Conner piloted the organ- ization through a highly successful year. 7 h S emit.

J okson A S each girl in the school is a member of the Girls’ League, it is one of t|ie most important organizations in Hoover, its principal function being to promote a greater friendliness among the girls. Each new girl on entering Hoover is taken around by five members of her class and introduced to her classmates; in this way all the girls are made acquainted with one another. Two functions that further promote a friendly feeling are the Stunt Party, a costume affair held in October, and the afternoon party honoring the new girls, which is held in February. Both gatherings were acclaimed huge successes. The Girls’ League did a great deal of philanthropic work this year, such as collecting over a ton of canned goods at Thanksgiving and nine hundred and fifty pounds of candy at Christmas. Last fall Leila Barrie, Marian Welz, and Miss Frances E. Jackson attend- ed the semi-annual Girls’ League convention at Los Angeles High School. 16 T h , S c.rol 1. 11) 3 5

COQUILLBTTE HOLLINGSWORTH HALI Cl ARK» POMEROY SUND BARTLEY PRIMM CHAMBERS ROPP SULZNER FRTL CIAVARELLA EKMAN GIRLS H CLUB Any girl who has received an English H is eligible for membership in the Girls’ H Club, the honorary athletic organization of the Girls’ Ath- letic Association, which closely resembles the Billiken Society and the Boys’ Lettermen’s Clubs. The English H is received when a girl has earned eight hundred points or the equivalent of positions on eight first teams. This year fourteen girls showed their interest and ability in sports by qualifying for membership in this group. The first meeting of the year was held last fall at the home of Miss Marie Habermann, adviser. A pot luck dinner was enjoyed at the time by the members of the H Club and the executive board of the G. A. A. The second meeting of the organization was held early in February at Rosemary Ropp’s house, where an initiation, party, and business meeting were combined. Betty Clarke, Mary Eileen Hall and Margaret Ertl were elected to the offices of president, vice president and secretary-treasurer respectively. At that time the new members, Billie Primm, Marian Coquil- ette, Esta Pomeroy and Doris Sulzner were ceremoniously and effectively initiated into the club. The girls in the H Club are called upon from time to time to perform various duties, such as serving at different G. A. A. functions and acting as referee for games at any time. Swimming parties, ice skating parties and picnics were being enthusias- tically planned as the Scroll went to press. 18 T h r S’ r r n 11, I V .? .
