9l FRIENDS AND LEADERS- Betsy Smith, Girls' League President, and Miss Jewell Mitchell, Dean of Girls. It Gouldn't Be .Any Better Each girl of North High looks to the Girls' League as an ideal service, as well as social, organization The League gives an opportunity for girls to participate in school activities, which not only increases school spirit but provides an excellent means for the development of leadership and binding friendships. The Girls' League, whose membership includes every girl in school, undertook a pretentious program this year. Needy girls and families were provided clothing and food through projects in the girls' home rooms and funds raised by activities sponsored by the League. Many a rollicking good time will be remembered by girls who attended the Co-ed Dance, when they asked their favorite girl date and trekked to the gym for a riotous evening of fun. Never to be forgotten was the scintillating evening at the Blue and Silver Ball with the one and only boy friend. Nor will the large Fashion Show Tea or the Every Girl's Dinner soon fade from their memories. The Big and Little Sister proiect to help incoming freshmen, the Freshman Mixer, the Rhythm Roundup, the first day courtesies to the teachers, and the numerous Girls' League assemblies were additional activities. Miss Mitchell, as Dean of Girls, is faculty sponsor, with Miss Florine Kitts as assistant.

HONOR COURT-Miss Ruth Adams, Leo Voyles, Florence Puntenney, Kenneth Voyles, Barbara Creighton, Joe Swift, Jack Vivian, Phil Gates, Betty Jean Alldredge. jhey Jlfiete C9ut Justice Living up to the tradition of our reputation as The Honor School of the West and desirous of perfecting as nearly as possible a law-abiding, self-governing body, North Phoenix High recognizes the importance of the Honor Court. This group enforces the student made regulations by acting as the jury and judge before which the erring student appears. These members then decide upon the seriousness of the infraction and the resultant justice to be dealt. The six judges who were nominated by petition and elected at a general student election were Jack Vivian, Kenneth Voyles, and Joe Swift, seniors, Betty Alldredge and Phil Gates, juniors, and Barbara Creighton, sophomore. Freshman home rooms elect a new judge every two weeks. He observes one week and acts as judge the next. This gives experience to a group of new students and helps to train them for future participation in student affairs. The senior judges alternate as Chief Justice of the court, and as such automatically become a member of the Executive Committee of the student body. The appointed members of the court are the secretary, Florence Puntenney, whose duty it is to send out call slips and keep records of all cases, and Tres Coerver, bailitf, who admits and dismisses offenders to the court. Miss Ruth Adams is faculty adviser. This judiciary system of North High has been most instrumental nd successful in teaching students that very important fact that every broken law has a subsequent punishment. Since one of the aims of education is to develop good citizenship, this early lesson in discipline is one of utmost importance.
