Men I Plans tor assemblies and other activities are made at sessions of the Boys' Union Executive Board. I No paper is thrown away in war times Instead, it is sent to the old cafeteria where members of the Boys' Union bale an average of 'SOO pounds per week. The Boys' Union, like the Girls' League, comprises the leadmen of the campus. This organization was formed with the purpose in mind that boys of Venice High enjoy as- sembling and taking part in constructive discussion about school problems that con- cern or especially interest them. Purpose of the Union is to instill an active school spirit among the boys by means of varied activities and assemblies, Like the co-eds, Venice boys are doing their share to keep 'em flying. A notable example is the paper drive through which the Boys' Union collects and bales approxi- mately one hundred pounds a day. High- lights of assemblies sponsored by the Boys' Union have been speakers, musical pro- grams, gymnastics, and moving pictures. In the March assembly Pat Silvestri and Alfie Fink gave the boys a thrill by staging a three-round boxing bout. Referee john Bell called the match a draw. Mr. David Schlosser sponsors the group, which is led by elective officers. Ernie Tol- man was president during the first semester and Victor Liotta during the second term. Vic was assisted by john Cannon, vice- president, and jim Akoury, secretary. Serv- ing on the executive council one or both semesters were Anthony Taravella, Dudley Pearson, Phil Kovinick, Dick Williams, Don Brady, johnny Lewis, Bob Mandemaker, john Cannon, and jim Akoury.
