GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' LEAGUES UR Girls ' and Boys ' Leagues are two organizations of which we are very proud. They stand for the highest ideals a boy or a girl can obtain. They have a purpose for their groups which is to be of service to others, as well as for their own development , and they strive to create friendship and cooperation to a greater extent among the students. We believe that this goal is being successfully attained. The combined leagues sponsored a food drive at Christmas and did much other relief work to help the unem- ployment situation in the South Bay district. lst-2nd SEMESTER OFFICERS M.

GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' COURTS I HE Girls ' Court and the Boys ' Court work entirely independent- ly of one another, but their functions are exactly the same. These organiza- tions are branches of the student gov- ernment at R.U.H.S. The judges are upper-classmen elect- ed by the Girls ' and Boys ' Leagues respectively. They have the power and means to punish those who commit of- fenses against the Student Body and state school laws. Each justice is as- sisted by four jurymen or jury women. The juries of four, which are also elect- ed by the leagues, consist of two upper- classmen and two lower-classmen. One girl and one boy are elected from each advisory to represent their section on the Girls ' and Boys ' Service Committees. It is the duty of each stu- dent to uphold the rules of R.U.H.S. The secretary of each Court is elected from the Boys ' and Girls ' Service Com- mittee not only to serve as secretary to the committee, but to keep a record of each appearance of a student before the court. It is thereby possible to sentence second offenders more harshly than those who have only run afault of the law once. A boy or girl is brought to court by means of a court summons. The sum- mons may be given by members of either service committee or any juror. After a fair trial, the defendant is con- victed; if found guilty, he is punished accordingly. The two judges also hold offices as Student Body commissioners and they are authorized to attend all commis- sioners ' meetings. They are Comisson- er of Girls ' Welfare and Commissioner of Bovs ' Welfare. tu nly

GIRLS ' SERVICE COMMITTEE 1 HE Girls ' Service Committee i«, a part of the Girls ' Court and is composed of girls who can be relied upon to perform their duties as Serv- ice Committee members. It is the duty of each member to help bring about a smaller degree of disobedience and dis- order in the school. Last semester the method of determ- ining who should serve on the com- mittee was changed. Prior to that time one girl was elected by each advisory section to represent her group on the committee. By the new plan a number of girls are appointed by the girls ' judge, the jurors, and the girls ' advisor. As their principle endeavor is to help every girl to uphold the laws and policies of Redondo Union High School , each girl is chosen on her conscientious willingness to abide by the laws of the institution and to do her part to further a feeling of equality and a friendly attitude among the students. Since this new method has been adopt- ed, members of this group have work- ed harder and have done a great deal more in accomplishing the purpose of the Girls ' Service Committee. The principle offense for which a girl is brought to court is for not wear- ing the regulation uniform. It consists of a white middie, with dark blue de- tachable collar and cuffs, and a blue tie worn with a regulation navy blue or black skirt. Red or blue middies are also accepted. Any one who is not able to wear the uniform may secure a per- mit by bringing a note from home. Other offenses for which court sum- mons are given are eating in the halls, defacing school property, and leaving the school grounds without a permit. tutnty-tuo
