NANCY HARRIS GIRLS' LEAGUE CABINET THE PRODUCING MUST GO ON... The production is over! VVhich means that I must take my leave of the Girls' League set on location at John Burroughs. The picture has been a success. Now the new director must start her production which will. no doubt, take its place among the leading pictures of Summer '36. Leaving this location means I must go to another. Yet while I am away on the set at high school, I will often think of the assistant director, Mary Katherine Bod- deker, and the script girl, Connie Kivari, who have been a great help toward the success of the picture. Also of the owner of the studio and the stockholders to whom we have looked for advice. Of the cameramen who patiently carried out the work that was to be done and the extra girls who really played the most important part, because it was for them the production was made. My closing message is : The producing must go on. Always your friend, NANCY JANE HARRIS, President of Girls' League. THE GIRLS, COUNCIL By CONSTANCE KIVARI The Council is really the hostess of the school and as such, We strive to be cour- teous, helpful, and friendly to all the girls in our school. One of the chief aims of the Council is to promote friendship. It is our desire that the friendships may not be confined to the girls of john Burroughs, but will reach out and will foster a feeling of friendship and good will throughout the world. N E W L O C A T I O N By MARY KATHRYN BODDEKER Soon we go on location, the scenery will be changed, new directors will great us, and the show goes on. To serve is a privilege, not a burden. My memories of J. B. days will always be most happy. MARY KATHRYN BODDEKER NANCY HARRIS CONSTANCE KIVARI

I have formed many lasting friendships that I shall always cherish. I shall always remember the faculty for their splendid help.

And now as we look into the future we wonder what will happen. I trust that each of us will merit success and happiness. It is with my deepest appreciation and thanks that I express my feeling toward you.

GIRLS' LEAGUE MERIT BOARD GIRLS' LEAGUE COMMITTEES By BEATRICE DAVIS The Girls' League, one of the major organizations at John Burroughs Studios, is divided into various departments, each of which is headed by prominent members on the lot. The VVelfare Department is divided into many committees which are taken care of by the most prominent members of the studio. Every year at Christmas time a drive is sponsored to collect all sorts of clothing and toys in order to aid less fortunate people. Some untouched articles left from the box lunches on the lot are donated to the men of the Midnight Mission. In their spare time many people con- tribute their share to the needle work guild by making necessary articles for the less fortunate. The Usher Committee is another branch of the studio police force, Whose duty is to see that law and order are kept throughout the meetings. Their silent assistants aid the citizenship department in having choice people only on the lot. A group of well known directors are directing the friendship department who send new and interesting data to other parts of the world where, in return, we like- wise receive their latest material. The meetings of studio executives, co-workers and new members are arranged by the social department. There are many committees which furnish, during the brief period of rest, entertainment for the members on the lots. Invitations, place cards, posters and other necessities for social events are taken care by the art and music committee. An assistant director supervises the casting department, who selects talent for the next scene. This is the program committee. The Safety Committee, or studio police force, consists of agents willing to render their services towards keeping the lots from being littered, and to see that the players eat in their own respective places. All notices or questions and answers in the daily bulletin or the paper, pertaining to the Girls' League, are conducted by the Bulletin and Question Box Committee.
