Last year Miss XVIIZIIIIS had obtained data from other high schools in the State and from Federation officersg so, in the early part of this year, a committee met and drafted a constitution. This was presented to the student body, which ac- cepted it and approved the connnittee's sending in I.oinpoc's application for mem- bership. This was doneg and, after our constitution had undergone several changes sug- gested by the Fecleratioil, we received our charter, formally giving ns the title, Chapter No. 419, California Scholarship Federation. The officers for the term of 1922-23 were: Donald Cherry, Presidentg Elton Nicoles, Vice-Prcsidentg Vera VVinebrenner., Secretary-Treasurer. -Donald Cherry, '24-. 22

SOCI Z-X THE F RESMAN RECEPTION At the first of the year the Upperclassmen gave the Freshmen their reception. The wild rumors that were spread about school for a week before hand nearly had the youngsters in a panic by Saturday night. However, they found that things did not turn out so dreadfully for them as might have been expected. After William Negus had given the Freshmen a welcome speech, and some bits of advice, a ghostly review of the class' entrance into High School was enacted. This was followed by some examples of High Happer life. The High School's Jazz Artists, led by Elton Nicoles, proved a wonderful and awful inspiration for a Freshman jazz band. The big hit was the tragi-comedy, Love Will YVin, with the heroine, Toby Negus, and hero Elton Nicoles, supported by an able cast of bandits and a truly mean looking villian- Don Cherry. And wasn't Randy a true-to-tradition mother-in-law? The savage chorus from Robinson Crusoe's Island, under the direction of their chieftess, Miss Arkly, rendered some interesting examples of their musical customs. After the program games were carried on and refreshments were served, the Freshmen seated in kindergarten style with unsweetened pink lemonade and animal cookies, were placed under the gaze of the others, who gloated over them with punch and cookies. Later, the newly-fledged students went home, content that the ordeal of initiation had been passed at last. THE F RESIVIAN RETURN PARTY The play that the Freshmen gave for the entertainment of the Upper-classmen at the Freshman Return Party, surely did succeed in entertaining. ' All the characters filled their parts so well that we are all looking forward to what the class will do in the Senior play of '26. THE DANCES OF THE YEAR The dances this year have been a big success-considering how they line up with the dances of last year. For one thing, the boys didn't hang around out in the corridor, peeking thru the door while the girls danced. Perhaps as they grow older their bashfulness dissappears. The third dance was given the night of the County Track Meet, and the visit- ing schools were invited. The decorating committee, Mr. Green, Evelyn Arkly, Irene Lewis, and Hal Stater camouflaged the Gym with flowers and vines so that it had more of a dressed appearance than usual. Steve W'hite and his orchestra usually supply the music, but rumor has it that there is an orchestra being formed of some of our own Hi students, so we hope that o11r next dance may be given to their music.
