Many odd costumes appearedvthat night, and the gym was the scene of great revelry. The entertainment committee had planned many games, and no one found time to stand around and do nothing. The riot gradually subsided and refreshments were served. As is always the case, we went home wishing we could have another Hi Jinks soon. During the remaining part of the month'we were busy planning for the County Convention, held in Santa Barbara the 29th. About fifty Lompoc girls went down. The principal speaker of the morning program was Miss Amy Cryan, of Mills College, whose theme was Women in Public Life. At noon we adjourned to Cabrillo Pavilion, where a very fine luncheon was served by the Santa Barbara League. As our part of the afternoon program, Martha Plo gave a clever little recitation, and Genetta Cheatham and Ida Isom gave an amusing tramp skit. After this program we made a tour of Knapp. Gardens. As the last event of the day, the P. T. A. served us with chocolate and cookies. Early in November we elected Genetta Cheatham and Velma Smith as delegates to the convention in San Bernardino. On their return they gave I l22l f

LA PURISIMA us an enthusiastic account of their trip, and told of many helpful suggestions that they thought could be used in our organization. At Christmas time we had a White Gift Booth at our Christmas program Aand presented the donations to the local charities. Following this a lapse occured in our activities, due to the shifting of interest to other departments, such as the Senior Play and Fashion Show. We sponsored the Dixie Jubilee Quartet when it came here April 30, and thereby added about fifteen dollars to our treasury. At the meeting called to discuss the Jubilee Quartet we elected Dorothy Rfggs as delegate to the convention in Venice, May 12. She was accompanied south by Mrs. Benson, our advisor, and Helen Rufner, president of our league. Girls' Glee Club This year witnessed the reappearance of an organized Glee Club. Since 1926, when music became a required subject, there has been no special part work done by any of the classes. This year. however, all of the classes have been working on two-part songs and fine results have been obtained. Although the Glee Club has not had as striking a career as the orchestra, they have sung for assemblies, for the Masonic Educational program, and for Odd Fellow programs. A Besides the regular Glee Club, a trio has been formed. This is composed of three girls: Alice Smiley, Genetta Cheatham, and Martha Plo. Boys' Glee Club This is another organization that went out of existence in 1925, not to come to life again until 1927. We have three times as many boys in the Glee Club now as we had then, showing that the interest in this department is increasing rapidly. Merit Committee At the beginning of the second semester a Merit System was adopted by the Student Body. This system is administered by a committee composed of two faculty members appointed by the principal and three students elected by the A. S. B. The first to be honored by places in this committee were Don Main, Velma Smith, Glenn Adams, Miss McGinty, and Miss Holmes. In our system students can earn merits as well as lose them. We have been complimented by visiting students on theidemocracy of our administra- tion and our privilege of earning merits. l23l
