The Girls' League is an organization in- cluding every girl in Ogden Meadows High School. Through it's program, the Girls' League tries to give every girl the opportun- ity to enter into school activities. At the Installation Ceremony the ideals of the Girls' League-character, loyalty, schol- arship, and friendship-were represented by Eleanor Kasulka, Helen Hughes, Eileen Brechtbill, and Jean Vincent. The Girls' League Mix was held early in the fall to promote friendship and to become bctter acquainted. Held in competition with the Boys' League Dads' Night was the Pixie Party which in- troduced forty mothers to Ogden Meadows. As the boys had more fathers at their Dads' Night than the girls had mothers at their Pixie Party, a talent assembly was presented in payment for the failure. The assembly proved to be one of the most outstanding events of the year. Following our plan to bring information about as many fields of interest to women as possible, Mrs. Grace Pollock spoke on Jobs ii. Art. Mrs. Pollock showed the original illustrations she had done for Wilson Kimsey Peery's new book, And There Were Salm- on. ly An amusing one-act play was presented by an all girl cast of the dramatics class at the February Girls' League Assembly. As so many girls evinced interest in nurs- ing, Mrs. Eileen Daly, of St. Joseph's Hos- pital Nursing School, was asked to speak on that subject. Mrs. Daly brought information on nursing and nurses' training. The girls entered into competition again with the boys in an effort to bring in the greatest number of White Elephants for the Carnival. As the contest ended in a tie, both girls and boys received the prize of a half-day holiday. The Girls' League was represented by four delegates to the Fall Southwest Conference in Camas as well as at the Spring Conference in Longview. The Girls' League president, with other school leaders, attended the High School Leaders' Conference at the University of Washington, later participating in an as- sembly covering this conference. The Tuberculosis Drive at Ogden Meadows was sponsored by the Girls' League. A constitution for the Girls' League was presented by a committee appointed for this purpose. The constitution was approved by the girls and becomes the League's future guide. The Evergreen Junior Women's Loan Fund was established by this club at Ogden Mead- ows High School to help girls in need of as- sistance. It is administered at the discretion of the dean of girls. The Evergreen Junior Women's Club also presented an Inspira- tion Cup to the Girls' League. The cup is to be awarded to the senior girl believed to have offered the most inspiration to other girls through her work, activities, and personality. The Inspiration Cup will be engraved with the name of the girl chosen each year for this honor. To give the sophomores, who will enter Ogden Meadows next year, help and a feeling of friendliness, Big Sisters have been ap- pointed. A number of this year's junior and sophomore girls have been chosen to act as Big Sisters to the new girls entering this fall. During the year the Big Sisters will do their best to acquaint the Little Sisters with the class rooms, teachers and counsellors, different classes and activitiesiavailable, and help them to feel secure and' happy in their new school life. 1

The Boys' League of Ogden Meadows High School was adopted to increase good fellow- ship, cooperation, and democracy, and to plan such activities that will further the interest and build finer traits of manhood in all the boys of the school. Every boy upon entering the school automatically becomes a member. The club is governed by a council consist- ing of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and representatives from each home room. These, together with the boys' adviser, form an executive board of the league and its duty is to plan and execute the business of the league. To be eligible for the office of president, the student must be a senior 3 for vice president, he must be at least a juniorg and for the offices of either secre- tary or treasurer he may be a sophomore, a junior, or a senior. Officers elected to govern the club for the year of 1947-'48 were President, Bill Hale, Vice President,Mike Dineeng Secretary, Keith Hainesg Treasurer, Jerry Miller. Elections for all officers are held among the boys each fall after the student body officers are elected. The spotlight of each year falls on the an- nual Father and Son night banquet. This is planned as an opportunity to acquaint the fathers with the friends of their sons, and at the same time have an enjoyable evening. On October 20, 1947 the club sponsored the first of these for this school year. Two hun- dred fathers were present and were enter- tained by a movie on sports. This was fol- lowed by a short talk by a well-known sports announcer, Johnny Carpenter, who broad- 10 casts most of the college games up and down the coast. An outstanding all-boys' assembly was held February, the fifth, in the school auditorium. Guest speaker, C. F. Williamson of the Unit- ed States forest service presented two mov- ics, Guardians of the Wild and Realm of the Wild. These movies told of the duties of the forest ranger and explained the different types of wild life in the national forests. Mr. Williamson concluded the program by an- swering questions on the subject, Forestry as a Vocation. During the weeks of preparation for the all school carnival held February 13, the Boys' League sponsored a White Elephant Drive Contest between the boys and the girls of the school. The winner was to be awarded a quarter day holiday. Each team collected eight hundred itemsg therefore, both received the award. To encourage school spirit during basket- ball season, the club sponsored the sales of Beat Vancouver buttons. White tee-shirts with a green hornet on the front of them were also sold during the year. Other activities included sponsoring the March of Dimes drive, purchasing a rub- ber mat to go around the edge of the gym to protect the floor, and starting the annual Boys' and Girls' League party. The Boys' League cabinet also planned a number of assemblies which included dis- tinguished speakers and several sport movies.
