NAPANEE Joel Coffield Walter Healy The Associated Student Body is the legislature of the school, and gov- erns its activities. It has a membership of nearly five-hundred students, inclusive of fourteen oflicers, elective, and appointive, who make up an ex- ecutive council, which is representative, has the confidence of the students, and transacts the business for the association. The Student Body, since its formation 18 years ago, has been a pro- gressive organization and is now an efficient one. It supports an aggressive wide awake weekly paper, the NUHS g A literary magazine, and this annual. A program Committee is each week, responsible for an entertain- ment, which is sometimes musical, and sometimes educational. Speakers of national repute have been included among the latter group. Each term the incumbent president of the Student Body is a member of Rotary, as a high school representative. The Association supports and sponsors the school's athletics, social functions, and dramatic productions. They are financed by student membership fees, athletic meets, and entertainments. A great deal of money is necessary to carry on student activities, therefore a great effort is made to make as much money as is possible at every available opportunity. The student membership cards are the larg- est source of revenue, and each year a concentrated effort is launched to make students realize the necessity, and advantages of purchasing them. Athletics barely manage to pay for th elmselvesg excepting some years when the school has a better than average team to attract the crowds. Just as the world progresses, our student government advances, from year to vear, to a higher degree of efliciency. Responsible officers realize their obligations to the organization they are representing, and do their work zealously with admiralrle business ability. ISeventeenj

Girls' Glee Club Probably the most successful of the above classes were the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs. The Boys' Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Strong put over a very good comic openetta, besides providing entertainment at many of the student body meetings and other gatherings. The Girls' Glee Club also presented a very good operetta. The girls were directed by Mrs. Schalow. Another very successful club, organized under the direction and ad- vise of Mr. Post is the Radio Club. Early in the year this club was organ- ized out of the opportunity period class that was studying radio and elec- tricity. The club elected Arthur Tockey as president, Clifford Rawson was selected the club technician while Hilary Helsley was the very able and ef- ficient operator. The purpose of the club is to enable its members to read the wireless ccde known as International Morse and to acquaint them with the prac- tical side of radio communication. To facillitate the object of the club, its members donated sufficient apparatus to construct an up-to-date transmit- ting and receiving station. This station transmits on forty meters with sufficient power to make international communication possible. The in- stallation of this station puts Napa High on the map as one of the few schools that is equipped with a radio transmitting station. l:Sixteen1

G enevieve Frommielt One of the most active, as well as important organizations of our high school is the Girls' League, made so, purely lcecause it has taken such rapid strides through a little effort, and has accomplished such a great deal through much cooperation. The League functions through three standing committees, the Social, under Ruth Raeder, the Welfare, under Martha Sawyer, and the Publicity under Mildred Johannseng a regular student lcody organization which as- sembles on Mondays of activity periods, every other Week, and a Council composed of officers, Chairmen of committees, and class representatives. This Council meets every Thursday preceding regular League meetings. All League officers are elected semi-annually but committee chairmen pre- side throughout the year. Activity period has been a great aid to furthering the purpose: of this association by furnishing Well attended meetings. Last year our League lacked cooperation because it was so difiicult to get the girls together after school. As usual delegates were sent to Berkeley to the annual convention. An important accomplishment of the league has l een the shipment of Dolls, under the names of Reva C. Alice Hawkins, etc., to Japan. The Welfare Committee has aided the needy around Christmas and Thanksgiving, while the Social Committee has successfully managed the Mother's and Daught- er's Banquet at which Dr. Rhinehart, president of Mills College gave an inspiring talk, the girl's jinks, and the Mother's and Daughter's Tea. On the Whole we are very proud of this organiration leecause it has shown that the girls are capalrle of gaining recognition. flilighteenl
