BOYS' COUNCIL Among the many organizations of our school a very purposeful one is the Boys' Council. It is a group of about thirty boys, approved by the faculty and active in maintaining order throughout the school. This organization is symbolic of the highest ideals of character and achievement. Undoubtedly its standards have been a great factor in the progressive strides the council has taken. The purpose of councilmen is to achieve greater safety for fellow pupils by encouraging a sense of safety rnindedness. The boys of the council have many duties besides just those allotted them. They must know when their authority is needed and must be alert in any emergency which may arise. The councilmen strive to be models in sportsmanship and fellowship for the rest of the student body. Experience of this type proves invaluable to them in their daily life. Ervin H awkins, A 9 David Mocifze, A9 A RADIO BROADCAST This is station T. S. K. broadcasting over a nation wide network from the studio of the Cabinet Girls, sponsored by our vice principal. We now introduce the president of the Senior Cabinet who will explain the activities of the Cabinet Girls. e Hello, friends of Radio Land, I have been asked to give a short talk about the Cabinet Girls. These girls have been chosen from among their classmates because of their reliability, leadership and cooperation in Physical Education. They have also been approved by all of their teachers for this work. They help to mack a self-governing body of all the girls of T.S.K. They enable the girls to work out their own individual problems and to think for themselves. They are depended upon by the school for their own ability to keep order in the Cafeteria line, at the pop-corn stand, at the candy store, around the yard and other important places about the building. One sees them at their places always trying to be of help to others. They are shown great courtesy by the girls and everyone tries to cooperate. I hope this will enable you to understand the activities ofthe Cabinet Girls. Thank you very much,.,'Miss President, for speaking to us. We now have Every Girl who will speak to us on what she thinks of the Cabinet. Speaking for T. S. K. I am grealy impressed with the many activities that the Cabinet Girls perform. Sometimes I have caught myself lowering the high standards I have set. N ever-the-less, a Cabinet Girl has always come to my aid .and has helped me to keep my standard up. They are faithful helpers and I am able to rely upon them in times of need. I am very glad there is such a helpful institution in this school. I thank you. Charlortte Muir, B9 .

WELCOME CEREMONY To Any Girl : As a small B7, among hundreds of others, I entered Thomas Starr King. The pleasure of my first days were furthered greatly by the spirit of help- fulness and kindness shown by some girls whom I learned to know as repre- sentatives of the Every Girl Club, which is the home for all girls entering into this school. There seemed to be hundreds of friends in my same predic- ament, but all were taken care of by their big sisters. The most fascinating time of my whole life came upon being welcomed into the Every Girl Club. The ceremony was a simple one, but the heart- felt thought underneath was beautiful to see. Upon becoming a full-fledged member of this club I set about learning all I could about it. I soon found out the purpose, which is to strengthen loyalty and good fellowship among thegirls, to present to them high ideals of character and to have good all around fun together. The officers of our club are nominated by the girls. During the cere- mony of installation I learned- the names of all our oflicers. They are: K Bearer of the Torch Cpresidentj Bearer of the Shield Cvice presidentj Silver Quill CSecretaryj Winged Quill freporterj Golden Key ftreasurerj Forty-six
