Huarte, Brad Ringer, Bollinger, Aguirre, Joe Keeble, Boys’ Federation was able to live up to its expectations. Ce : It was a full year from beginning to end but was capably handled by : the fall and spring councils and officers. ar’ Starting off the year financially the boys were able to secure ] peanuts and sold them at the home football games which netted ‘| a profitable sum. Boys’ Federation was also able to get for one of their programs, Dick Cantino, who later won national fame with his accordion. Probably the biggest event was the Merced-Madera after game dance which later proved to be the largest of this sort during the year. Boys’ Federation has adopted a plan which they hope that the Federation councils will carry on in the future. This was the ordering of council pins from A. H. Dankworth Co. in Los Angeles. This year's councils hope in the future that Boys' Federation will carry out this tradition in making it a more worth-while organization. The councils have also added a new office to Boys’ Fed and this is the office of Handshaker. The job consists of introducing new boys to Boys’ Fed and welcoming them to school. These introductions have brought many amusing moments and at the same time making the boys more interested in Boys’ Federation.
