During National Boys' Week, April 27 to May 3, the boys get a taste of assuming responsibili- 7 -A79 ties which will soon be theirs for the leadership of the community. Boys and K N fathers are brought together formally once a year at this time on the occasion lx l,, of a large banquet, where they meet the boys' teachers and other parents. The Boys' League also sponsors a welfare and an entertainment board which make the boys' life more pleasant in the school and community. I S ii

Each semester, boards are also function- ing in school activities under the able supervision of Miss Darsie and the Girls, League officers, creating a more effective school government through charity and welfare, and unifying social endeavor. Besides the Board of Hearing, there are the Friendship, Flowers and Decorations, Suitable Dress, Welfare, Social, Hostess, Publicity, and Entertainment Boards, with the additions of the Hobby Board during the fall semester and the Book Board in the spring. Every girl in University High has the opportunity of signing up for service on one of these boards. Their work permeates school life, giving opportunity to meet people, to entertain, to make friends, and to develop personality. l4

EUMMISSIU EHS EXEC TE Functioning with well-oiled gears, the Board of Commissioners can well look back on a suc- cessful year. ln the fall the one and only Stewart Bledsoe headed the board. Stewy's claim to fame, beside his rippling grin and agile sense of humor, was his inauguration of a cup to be presented to one of the schools of the Western League for the best conduct at football games. With spring came the versa- tile and popular David l-lurford who made the logical political step from Boys' League Prexy to the Presidency of the student body. I-lurf will be remembered for his work on the re- vision of the Assembly Code. l-lelen Haitbrink and Nancy Reynolds graciously handled the office of Commissioner of C-irls' Welfare. This is proved by two events, l-lelen's New Girls' Party and Nancy's May Day Party for Brock- ton Avenue School. Dave Hurford and Bob Craig served as Commissioner of Boys' Wel- fare. Dave successfully launched a Big Broth- er Movement in the fall, and Bob founded boards and brought family ties closer by his Father-Son Dinner. This same Mr. Craig, who is one of the strong silent type, worked in the fall, and one ex-yell leader, Marshall Riddick, wrestled in the spring, with the thousand and one matters which plague the life of a Commissioner of Organizations, the biggest of which was hand- ling ballots for the numerous elections. Doug Dancer, one of the Dancer boys, without the help of shifting sands or camels, arranged the football caravans with nary a fatality, as Com- missioner of Safety. Bob Campbell, in the same office, used ingenuity and asphalt to pave the way for a much-needed auto park, Relaxing their vigil only at the request of the commissioners wishing to purchase some school need, Buddy Coyne and Lorraine Smith in the fall, and Katie Oertel in the spring, took turns guarding the safe sanely, as Commis- sioner of Finance. Thekla l-laines, Commissioner of Scholar- ship, amazed foreign powers by declaring war -a war on excessive tardiness and absences. The latest Communique from the front states, the enemy has been contacted and is now retreating in all sectors. Comes the spring- time.
