BOYS ' SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD The Boys Senior Advisory Board is composed of about one hundred boys, whose purpose is to promote good citizenship throughout the school. This group is divided into four committees as follows : 1. The Hall Committee checks all hall conditions during class periods. 2. The Traffic Committee controls and directs all school traffic. 3. The Bounds Committee supervises the enforcement of bounds rules dur- ing the noon period. 4. The Grounds Committee is responsible for maintaining the buildings and grounds in a neat and attractive condition. The Sophomore Class is the main organization of this committee. In addition to these committees, the entire Board is divided into five sections, each of which serves in the various periods as a student court. These courts are organized in the same manner as a regular city court with a judge, clerk and a bailiff. All questions of student discipline and citizenship are pre- sented to these courts for action. The Senior Advisory Board is led by the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Boys ' League, with a faculty member as the advisor.

GIRL ' S SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD Something d which to be proud! The girls of Samohi governed entirely by a Senior Advisor) Board, made up of Junior and Senior girls. (iirls out of uniform are promptly taken care of by our capable Uniform Dress Committee, a body which seems cruelly to issue demerits. One cannot loiter in the halls, nowadays, not with our serious looking hall guards or, shall we say, policewomen ? One even has to eat her lunch on the school grounds now, for it is extremely hard to get by the eagle eyes of the girls on the Grounds Committee. A very stern and judicious body of girls make up our seven rotating courts, a different court each Wednesday. Each court consists of one judge, six jurors, a clerk, and a girl who takes shorthand notes. One has to be careful what one says, for now everything that is said goes down on paper. The first semester the Board was very capably managed by our Chairman, Mary Cogle] ; Vice-Chairman, Helen Wegener; and Secretary, Evelyn Harris. This last semester the clerical work of the Board is under the supervision of two Executive Secretaries, Eva Stinton and Betty Swearingen. This is a new system and seems to be proving wholly satisfactory. Helen Wells and Helen Wegener are Presi- dent and Vice-President respectively. I he Board has done, is doing, and will continue to do much for the girls of Samohi. It deserves a great deal of praise and appreciation.

THE GIRLS LAEGUE ■ pel spirit ibei Gi The first big event (it the season was the Big and Little Sister Party which wel- comed the Sophomores to Samohi. At Christmas time a large party was given in the auditorium for the needy chil- dren of Santa Monica. Toys, candy and sweaters were distributed among the chil- dren and were enjoyed very much. The numerous Penny Hops were a success socially as well as financially. One of the functions that the Board sponsored was a luncheon and tea for the advisors of the League. A Fashion Show presented by Jose- phine S. Roberts and her Costume Design class, was featured at one of the League ;ner Assemblies; and speakers and student talent vson were supplied for the remaining Assemblies. A vocational guidance tea was spon- sored by the American Association of Uni- ' League to enable all senior girls to find help in their versity Women and the chosen professions. The League closed its year of activities with a Buffet Supper held in the Library ini the senior girls and their mothers. A lovely supper was enjoyed and a dance and entertainment followed. The feature of the evening was the Installation Ceremony for the new officers of the Girls ' League Board. The League feels deeply grateful to Miss Robinson and the other faculty advisors who have helped them so willingly throughout the year. A great deal of credit is due the Board and its advisors, for the friendly spirit they have created among the girls, and the main social activities which they have promoted during the year.
