BOYS LEAGUE 1 S ' 1 The Boys ' League is an organiza- tion for the promotion of the welfare of the boys of Samohi. Every boy in the school is a member. The Execu- tive board is composed of three elected members and four members appointed by the President. This year ' s board considers its out- standing achievement to be the aboli- tion of the bounds rules which was accomplished largely through guid- ance of Mr. Veenker, adviser, and the officers of the club. Some of the other duties that fall to the Boys ' League are the organiza- tion and operation of the Samohi Ad- visory Board and the Boys ' Court, and the handling of the three popular days known as Blue and Gold Day, Boys ' Day, and last but not least, the ever popular Fiesta Day. The Annual Boys ' League Dance was the first dance held in the new girls ' gym. both financially and socially. Due to the earthquake, which was responsible for the closing of all schools and also the closing of the auditoriums, the Boys ' League was unable to hold the Annual Boys ' League Vodvil.

GIRLSTEAGUE The Girls ' League has been active as usual this year, sponsoring many interesting activities for the girls. The first of these was a Penny Day. On this day all the girls were asked to donate pennies for the benefit of the Girls ' League. Early in October, the Executive Board gave a tea for their advisers and the program for the year was planned. The Girls ' League assisted in the success of Blue and Gold Da ' by offering for sale crepe paper and pom-poms of the desired colors. The Girls ' League Federation Convention at Beverly Hills was attended by a group of the Board members during November 3 and 4. One of the in- teresting events of the fall was the Hard Times Frolic. All the girls were welcome to come in their oldest clothes and everyone had a good time. At Christmas time, the girls cooperated with the boys in giving a Christmas Cheer party for some of the less fortunate children. The new sophomores in February were given a party and also a tour of the grounds so as to be better acquainted with the school. Friday, April 13, marked the day of the Gym Jubilee, sponsored by the co- operation of the G. A. A. and Girls ' League. Much commendation is due Miss Ethel M. Robinson, the Girls ' League Sponsor, as it is she who originates many of the splendid programs which the girls present.

GIRLS ' SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD The Gills ' Advisory Hoard is a very active organization. T u- duty of this hoard is to see that all the girls know and obey the rules of Samohi. There are over a hundred girls who have volunteered to be in the organization. They are divided into five groups, so that they are all on duty one day of every week. Five of the girls are captains, each one being in charge of a group. Each captain posts her girls on different parts of the campus, and is in general charge on her day of duty. It is well known how efhcient the girls are. If a friend expertly dodges some paper, there always seems to be someone there to ask that the unlucky missile be picked up. Before those estimable tents were erected there was no loitering in the halls because of some friendly but determined girl on the board. The spirits of all the Samohites went sky-rocketing on the advent of the tents, but they were soon brought back to the usual Samohi level by those same girls. If a friendly word of warning is not obeyed, a much subdued girl finds herself summoned to court. Each day ' s group has a judge, a bailiff, and a clerk, wlio council all too wisely, and perhaps give demerits to an unfortunate black sheep. Dispensing with details, the Girls ' Advisory Board keeps the Samohi school spirit that of an institution of high standing. The constitution of the Associated Student Body of Samohi deals with the two boards in Article VII. Section 1. Boys ' Senior Advisory Board . . . shall consist of the President of the Boys ' League, who shall be the Chairman of the Board; the Vice-President of the Boys ' League, who shall be Vice-Chairman of the Board ; and as many other mem- bers as the chairman deems necessary. Appointments to the Board shall be made by the Chairman, with the consent of the Boys ' Vice- Principal of S. M. H. S. Section 2. Girls ' Senior Advisory Board . . . shall consist of the same officers in the Girls ' League as the Boys ' Board consist of Boys ' League officers. The consent for appointment shall be given by the Girls ' Vice- Principal. Section 3. Powers and Duties . . . shall be the duty of these Boards to pro- mote good citizenship throughout the school. t
