Charlie Schwartz The Boys' League, organized for the first ti1ne this year at Napa Union High School, endeavors to promote democratic citizenship and cooperation, to preserve and beautify the school, and encourage worthwhile activities for all boys enrolled. 'lihe need for such an organization was evident for some time. ln l'735, a Boys' VVelfare organization, directed by llflr. Roy Buchanan, was formed composed of the president, vice president, and athletic manager of the A.S.H., presidents of the classes, and other elective members of the student body. lVLany capable and willing boys worked on the several committees of the club. ln 1930, however, this worthy club dissolved. Two years ago, a committee headed by Ernie Sander attempted to form a Boys' League, but the boys of the school did not seem to agree, and nothing resulted from the efforts of the committee. ln the fall of 1938, to meet the need for such an organization, a constitution re- sembling that of the Girls' League was drawn up under the able supervision of lllr. Edwin Eagle, presented to the student executive, and ratified. The boys of student body council acted as a nominating committee to choose the first oihcers. the The outstanding meetings of the year included an athletic program, featuring three interesting boxing matches, a basketball game between the men of the faculty and the Papooskinskies . and an illustrated lecture by Mr. Herman Baade describing his adventures in Alaska. The chief project undertaken was the promotion of quiet, orderly assemblies. A fine spirit of enthusiasm and cooperation has been evident from the founding of the League.

Serge.Lnt-at-Arms Vivian Gardner, Sergeant-at-Arms Every girl enrolled in Napa High is a member of the Girls' League, which has steadily grown in size and popularity since it was founded in 1925. During the first semester, the regular business meetings held each month were presided over by LiC0l'g'lIlZl'l'l1l'OIlC, and by Velden Cantrell, the second. Program chairmen, Yelden Cantrell and janet Rapaport, always provided worthwhile entertainment after the business meetings. A council, composed of a representative from each home room, met once a month with bliss Zelma lWisherd, Dean of Girls and League advisor, to discuss pressing questions which arose. At the beginning of each semester, the Senior members of the Club entertained the new 1'I'CSl1II1CH at the Big and Little Sisters' Tea. Both parties were a great suc- cess this year, and helped the new girls get acquainted. The Girls' Jinx, held in October, was a night of fun for every girl who attended. Prizes for the funniest, prettiest, and cleverest costumes went to Preece Stoddard, and Lorraine Burch, respectively. The Yv elfare Committee, headed by planet Rapaport and Nlarian Arnitz, also played its part well in the League. Each year, the girls give baskets to the needy fam- ilies of the community. Boxes placed in each room were filled to overflowing before they were collected and distributed on Thanksgiving. The outstanding activity of the Girls' League wlas the Vice Versa dance, to which the girls invited the boys. The untiring efforts of Lucille Wicks and her com mittee made the affair a really spectacular duplicate of the San Francisco Fair. We won't forget soon, will we, boys? The League entertained for the last time at the lvlothersl and Daughters' Tea in April. A. fashion show, at which the members of the sewing classes exhibited their y'ear's efforts, was the highlight of the program. The club's activities were not connned to Napa, for Margie Tonascia, Georgina Throne, and lbliss Zelma WVisherd attended the Girls' League Convention at Burlin- game High on Saturday, October 29.
