Jean Spink, President Jean Skinner, Vice-President Doris White, Secretary Clementine Nicolai, Treasurer Every other Thursday morning during the past term, busy exclamations could be heard in Miss Tabrett's office. To one unfamiliar with the scene, the sound had no meaning; but most Polyites recog- nized it as the discussion at the Girls' Student Body meeting. As usual the semi-annual Girls’ Jinx was held and regarded as a great success. Jean Skinner and com- mittee deserve credit for their presentation. This term at the annual Girls’ League convention, Polytechnic was represented by Jean Skinner and Doris White. The convention was held at Girls’ High School followed by a luncheon and a visit to the Fair. This was just one of many social events that was held. To celebrate the completion of the term’s activ- ities, a luncheon was given for the members in the school dining room under the direction of Miss Irene McDermott and chairman Doris White. Under the leadership of Jean Spink the Girls’ Student Body was successful this term. This is one of the organizations that makes Polytechnic an excellent school and it deserves much credit for its contribution to student life activities.

The Chamber of Commerce is one of the indis- pensable and honored organizations of the school. The idea of this club is to further the ideals and standards that are for the betterment of Polytechnic. The C. of C. is the largest service organization in the school and is equaled only by the Boys’ Block P.” Any boy who has reached his high sophomore year, has a C average, and is outstanding in school service is eligible for membership. The officers this term were: Keith Whitecar, president; Bill Trood, vice-president; Gridley Dorr, secretary; and Lloyd Strom, treasurer. Much credit is due Mr. Henry Kunz, the faculty advisor, for his help in making this term a great success. Among the events of the term were the formal installation of the new members and the semi- annual banquet. Meetings were held on every other Monday night in room 80. It is hoped that the Chamber of Commerce will continue its sendee in the future as successfully as it has in the past.

C ALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION i rain5 tor m3 The California Scholarship Federation, Chapter 71, is one of the oldest and most valuable of all Polytechnic organizations. This term proved very successful under the sponsorship of Miss M. G. Roddy and the capable leadership of the officers: Barbara Jeanne O’Brien, President; Elsie Hafner, Vice-President; Helen Oettel, Secretary-Treasurer; and William Shrank, Student Body Representative. Aside from the regular term activities, the Poly C.S.F. had the honor this term of serving as hostess to the semi-annual district convention. Eight hun- dred delegates from some forty-five schools around the Bay Region met in the Hall of Western States on Treasure Island on October 13. The theme of the Convention was Communication, and the guest speakers included: Arthur Linkletter, Cavalcade author; Hale Sparks, the University Explorer; and Dr. Schneider of the University of California. All who attended the Convention declared it a great success from both the educational and entertainment viewpoints. It is to be hoped that many of the ambitious new- comers to Poly will realize the value of scholastic attainment and earnestly strive to become members of the C.S.F. Poly needs to continue her fine record. Barbara Jeanne O’Brien c. s. F. Front Row: Nellie Wong. Bernice Pun. Fannie Chuck. Louise Lee. Emmy Griemsman, Charlotte Gold.
