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

Jffessaqe rom gilze G? S .B fresidenf GN BEHALF of this year's officers, I wish to thank the faculty and students for the success the Associated Student Body has enjoyed through their efforts. I also wish to thank my fellow officers for their unceasing efforts to make this year a success. The greatest feat of the year was the mass parade held before the Ventura game. Though many pessimistic opinions were expressed before the start, the entire student body marched, sang, and yelled like veteran paraders. Because of the students' excellent conduct in this demonstration, they received the praise of the whole town. Never before had the school exhibited such cooperation and spirit. There are two more reasons Why this year has been a success. The first is the great increase in the student body membership which gave us 500 members, the largest number ever attained. The second and more important reason is that through the tireless effort and the spirit of cooperation of the classes of '40, '41, '42, '43, Oxnard High has attained a new level in school spirit which we are sure will persevere for years to come.
