 To promote friedllness among the girls, and to furnish worthwhile activities in which they may participate, is the purpose of the Girls' League. Meetings are held once each month when programs of special interest to girls are presented. The main activities of the league are providing big sisters for the new girls, presenting the Girls' Jinx, participating in Christmas charity work, giving class luncheons giving the Mothers' Tea, and presenting a scholarship to some deserving girl in the graduating class. Under the able leadership of Pat Cashel and Miss Preston, the league had a very successful year. For the purpose of encouraging school spirit, friendliness and co-operatoin among the boys of the school, the Boys' League meets regularly once a month, at which time matters concerning the activities of the boys are discussed, and talks are pre- sented by men prominent in athletics or other lines of work. Among the activities sponsored by the League were the Stunt Show, the Soph Tyro, and the Father and Son night, each of which was a big success. The officers this year were Don Ragno, president, and Otis Keeler, secretary, with Howard C. Ray as faculty adviser. Girls’ League: J. Caspar, M. Jackson, A. Pappas, E. Lentos, P. Cashel, A. Proctor.

Sidoff, H Majjeras, M. Harrison. Co-op: J. Mattel, J. Black, J. Burrill, F. Wheeler Under the leadership of Howard Benson, the Pep Committee has been very active in encouraging greater participation in school spirit. Color week, noon dances, rallies, and a dance after a basketball game are the main activities sponsored by the group. The success of the committee in selling transportation tickets to football games greatly increased the attendance at the out-of-town games. Any student who wishes to become a member must submit an application to be voted upon by the committee. In June the members of the committee vote to determine which junior member will be the chairman the next year. The Pep Committee is sponsored by the instructors of the girls' and boys' physical education departments. As a source of convenience to the students the Co-op sells necessary school sup- plies such as paper, pencils, and special review books. Any profits made are turned over to the general student body fund. Because it is managed by the students the Co-op offers fine experience in management and salesmanship. The staff consists of two senior managers and two junior clerks, with George 5. Stewart as faculty adviser. 21
