Spartan Knights I The Knights of old Sparta were line, but their ideals can not compare with the ideals of the Spartan Knights of Huntington Park High School. O In 1932, a committee met to form an organization with the ideals of the present Knights, but there was a lack of enthusiasm, so the organization was not formed. O Last semester a committee headed by VVallace Frasher and consisting of Clyde Miller, Bob Kerley, Doug VVinters, Dick Cannicott, and Bill Pankonin met with Mr. Detter and formed the constitution of the present Spartan Knights. A limit of twenty-five members was made and twenty-one members were elected. O The system was established for each Knight to have a squire who is not a member, but who may be elected as a vacancy occurs. Mr. lfVestover is the faculty adviser, but Mr. Detter's advice is also welcome. 0 Coach UPep Johnson is an honorary member of the Knights with all the powers of a Knight. Alumni who were Knights retain all their powers except that of voting, and they are invited to attend the meetings, I The purpose of the Knights is to maintain the high standards and ideals of the school and to keep the campus clean. The Knights have no set duties, they do anything that will improve the school. They work with the local police in matters concerning the school. The biggest problem they have been called upon to solve so far was the breaking into lockers. C There are three officers: president, vice- president, and treasurer, but the Knights keep the names of those who hold them a secret, they do not want the individual members to have to bear the grudges of the public. 0 The only social event on the Knightsl calendar was the banquet given by the Knights for their squires. 0 The Spartan Knights, an organization of serv- ice, is one of which Huntington Park High School may be justly proud.

AITIGZOIIS I Spartan spirit is exemplified by the Amazons of the Girls' League. In the days of old Sparta, it was up to the men to keep order. The Amazons have adopted the spirit of those warriors, keeping order in Girls' League assemblies. Their duties also in- clude supervision of girls on the grounds. I The organization was disbanded after the earthquake, and reorganization, started at the first of the semester under Betty Jo King, was completed during the second semester under the leadership of Bunty Burns, President of the Girls' League, One-hundred and thirty girls chosen, were interviewed by Adelle Rasey, Gail Hanson, Nancy VVineman, Margaret Costello, Betty jo King, Eloise Steinboch, and Bunty Burns. I Dorothy Renfro, President of G. A. A., automatically became chairman of the Amazons. Miss Mary Alice Austin is faculty sponsor. O Thirty girls were chosen from each class, to supervise their own classmates. Each Amazon has an assigned position in the auditorium for the Girls' League As- semblies, and it is her duty to keep order and secure courtesy among the girls in her section. If someone makes any unnecessary disturbance she quietly goes to the girl and asks her to step out of the auditorium. The offender is given a citation and must appear before the Girls' Council.
