me et you at the tomhst one Associated Student Body —This semester has been a Victory Semester at the Gray Castle with emphasis on stamp and bond sales, and for its sales percentage the Castle qualified for the Treasury Flag. Main activity on the fall calendar was the Homecoming celebration November 19, honoring the classes of I 899, 1900, 1918, and 1933. The outmoded A.S.B. constitution was taken in hand by the Council, and some major changes were made. The Council also conducted a Clean Campus Campaign to lighten the load of the custodial staff.— Tom Abies, President The Russ —With the news that last semester ' s issues had again been awarded the title of Pacemaker by the NSPA, this semester ' s staff made a determined effort to keep up the high standards of the paper, despite a war-time shortage of reporters and supplies. Most important issue of the semester was the Homecoming edition honoring the class of 1899, 1900, 1918, and 1933.— Gordon Luce, Editor Student Court —High school traffic offenders are tried Thursday morn¬ ings in the council room by the SDHS student court.

1 wizen the mai( comes Girls ' League —The contributions of the girls to the war effort have been numerous. The usual sophomore welcome party of games and songs was turned into a festival of making scrapbooks for the boys of the naval hospital. The library committee worked hard all semester to make gay colored covers for stories cut out of current maga¬ zines for the hospital patients. The girls co-operated with the Red Cross in helping to fill and check the Junior Red Cross boxes. The social service committee with the help of the homerooms arranged to get a present for every boy and girl at the Children ' s Home. They also planned a party of entertainment and refreshments.— Joyce Greenbaum, President Boys ' Federation —After a summer spent at the beach and at Convair, the Cavemen settled down to a semester of activity. The Boys ' Federation netted $146 in an enthusiastically supported penny drive for the American Red Cross. Of the total, $45 went toward completing the Red Cross Christmas boxes for servicemen and $98 was contributed to the San Diego Chapter of the Red Cross. Highlighting the semester were the Boys ' Fed .assembly and the Boys ' Fed-Girls ' League dance. The assembly was strictly a jam session by the SDHS Swing Band, while the dance was a gay affair with the guests in levis and prints. The decorations included a desert island on which many of the levi-attired boys longed to be marooned with the Pistol Packin ' Mama, Marjie Barchus.— Ronald Jones, President RONALD JONES, BF Prexy JOYCE GREENBAUM, GL Prexy
