The Boys' Federation was organized to give the boys an oportunity to discuss and improve school conditions. Upon enrolling at school, every boy is automatically made a member of this or- ganization. At Christmas time, the Boys' Federation and Girls' League, entertained the children of the Washington Children's Home and presented each child with one or more gifts. They gave a min- strel show which proved to be a great success. The proceeds from this convocation went to partly pay for the bleachers at Harmon field. The paddle squad which is for the purpose of foiling gate crashers is now connected with the Boys' Federation. There has been a Hall Patrol organ- ized by the Federation to help keep the annex more quiet during the class periods.
