joys gederafion Petit, Murr, Easterling, Gill, VVilliams THE Boys' Federation, an organization of all boys of the high school, was led in its activities this year by John Easter- ling, presidentg Allan Gill, vice-president, John Murr, secre- tary-treasurer, and Robert VVilliams and David Petit, ser- geants-at-arms, The Federation had as its objective making bigger and better school spirit. To help families at Christmas time the Boys' Federation and the Girls' League sponsored the Barter Theater. Ad- mission to the theater consisted of unperishable food, cloth- ing, or toys, which formed the Christmas baskets. The most outstanding activity carried into effect by the boys was the successful policing of the football fields and bleachers during the games. Some of the boys who had pre- viously given the most trouble in discipline did the best work in carrying out this objective. Because the boys' program was so successful, no teacher was needed in the bleachers dur- ing the entire football season. The Federation this year visited and took flowers to injured members of the athletic teams. If continued next year, the Boys' Federation will be re- organized on a different basis. Advisors this year were Mr. Browne and Mr. Harp. l13l
