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

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

NAPANEE l The weekly paper of the Napa Union High School is called the NUHS . The letters NUHS stands for Napa Union High School and are pronounced news, thus having a douhle significance. The paper is put out Ly the Journalism class of the school, and has the customary literary, business, and managerial staffs. This paper has been gradually improved from the orginal mimeo- graphed edition to its present size, 10 xl4 with four columns. With the ten dollars appropriated monthly by the student lxody an-d the money oLtained from the advertisements, the edition is a financial success. The ads, however, take up a great deal of space, leaving the read- ing matter rather limited. In most of the up-to-date schools subscriptions are sold to the school paper with minimized prices for those holding ASB cards. The Journalism class is now forwarding a movement to do the same in Napa Union High with the hope that a larger five column NUHS may he published next year. A five column paper is much easier for the editor to make up as it enalrles him to use a greater variety of types in the heads, and it also allows room for ltoxes and lcanners, all of which make the paper much more attractive as well as more valuahle. The ads, if spread into five columns, will leave more room for the news which has, in the past, been considerably cut and has made it necessary to delete many important items. Since the NUHS is of most vital interest to the student lrody its pro- gress should lie conscientiously sponsored by every student in the A. S. B. fNineteen1
