BOYS' LEAGUE Under the able direction of Bernard de Sousa and his Boys' League Board, the 1940 stag party was held in the boys' gym. Better than five hundred boys and their fathers attended the affair. Bob Robertson, halfback on the national champion Uni- versity of Southern California football team, gave a short talk. Blair Woolstencroft presented his hilarious bicycle and juggling act and the Los Angeles City College gym team performed for the boys. Biggest attraction of the evening was presented in the cafeteria where the boys filled themselves to capacity with the “eats provided for that purpose. The second-semester league, although it did not have as much to do as the first, presented a very entertaining assembly which featured Frank Wycoff, world champion sprint man.

STUDENT COUNCIL With the object of aiding rather than merely reprimanding the students of Hoover High, this year's Student Council has taken great strides in improving the conduct about the campus. For any act of misconduct committed around the school, such as the defacing of school property, unnecessary noise, or leaving the grounds without permission, the student appears before this judicial body. A record of every case is made and filed by the group. 24

GIRLS' LEAGUE I The first job of the Girls' League Board in the fall was the annual Stunt Party. Under the direction of Jo Nell Rogers, president, and her board, Witches' Tales'' was chosen as a theme for the party. Black cats and witches on broomsticks reigned on the night of October 19 in the girls' gym. Stunts were presented by the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. In charge of their respective acts were Jane Seaton, Marilyn Connor, and Marilyn Jaccard. The highlights of the evening were faculty and Girls' League Board stunts. The Hoo- dale Game,'' which was the title of the teachers' presentation, was arranged by Miss Josephine Hervey. The board stunt written in verse by Jeanne Krotz, welfare chairman, also included a number by Miss Frances E. Jackson. The Grand March and the prize fox-trot were part of the evening program. The theme prize was awarded to Peggy Walton, Dorothe Criplean, Jean Criplean, Vir- ginia Tibbitts, and Barbara Schmidt. The prize for the most original costume was received by Frances Ashton. Winners of the fox-trot were Mary Storms and June Marquenie. Board members who aided Jo Nell in making the affair a success were Mildred Craven, Jeanne Krotz, Frances Fox, Helen Campbell, Eleanor Ferguson, Modeste Da Costa, Patty Wiese, Margaret Farner, Peggy Gulley, Hazel Mullins, and Jane Harris. Charity work for the holidays was begun with an afternoon dance sponsored by the Girls' League which had as the admission price foods to be taken to the Chil- dren's Hospital for their Thanksgiving celebration. In charge of the arrangements were Jo Nell and Hazel Mullins, philanthropic chairman; Christmas baskets were later given out by the league. The semi-annual convention of the Girls' League Federation of California and Arizona held at San Bernardino was attended by Jo Nell Rogers and Patty Wiese, secretary. 26
