J Ruth Beckley, May Hewitt, Nina Yarson, Glenn XVilber. ELIGIBILITY COMMITTEE Behold! The famous four who dominate. control, and exercise complete authority over us, the poor, unfortunate students. They allow us only eight points for outside activities and at times it seems as though they place an unreasonable number of points on each thing we want to do. But we submit to the rulings of this group, for they have been appointed by Principal Williarii Prakken, whose word is law. Nevertheless, the eligibility committee. in its first year, has proved of real value to the school. It has not only taken care that activities were evenly distributed among the students, but has awakened the school to the fact that only 400 out ofthe entire student body are interested in any activity, and this has been responsible for the organizing of new clubs. Glenn XYilber and Ruth Beckley, chosen as student representatives of the entire student body, are about the two hardest working pupils in the school, and Miss May Hewitt, general chairman, is continually' harassed by demands on her time. Miss Nina Varson is faculty representative. Iligt' Orr lfzuzdwd Om'

The l3oy's ll Club had worked all of one Friday afternoon. Contructing an auction booth for the Senior Carnival. This must be the reason one Su often hears the remark. Those boys must know what it is to be without food, for their Thanksgiv- ing baskets were Certainly bountiful. The club has only High School letter men for active members, athough veterans in rl. C. are always welcome. Ten members came to school one nightQ and left sometime later mysteriously multiplied. so that the Club boasted twenty-five members. The Club has held many dances. The most important of the year was the annual dance given at the D. A. C. late in May. T-hey are helping, with all their energy, to promote junior High athletics and are forwarding an interest in sports of all sorts. XVith Howard Rowe as president, Blanchard Fagan as vice-president, and Lewis VValter as secretary and treasurer, how can the members help doing their best? Page Om' Hundred
