BLOC K V The Block V started the year by electing as Advisor, Mr. Keith Gunn, Pro- gram Chairman, Harold McAllister, Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Adamsg and President, james Rainey. As a result of initiation the sixteen new members found it desirable to eat from the mantel-piece for quite a while. The Block V outing at Glenn Ranch was financed by the Cowboy Minstrel Show, Sweet Adeline, which was a huge success due to the directorship of Coach Gunn. Members of the Block V are: Campbell, Peake, Rainey, Rivers, V. Demaree, C. Dawson, Saul, McAllister, Moline, Watts, Bryan, Swartzbaugh, Willson, E. Adams, L. Adams, Mitchell, johnston, Lopez, Smith, Bunce, R. Reid, Lewis, Oates, Bernal, Roberts, F. Read, Hewson. GIRLS' LEAGUE G. A. A. Only 25C a box! Get 'em while they last! That is probably what you heard at the Rodeo October 20, where members of the Girls' League were selling box lunches. November l5 saw the girls in crinoline and lace presenting an old-fashioned program for their Mothers' Tea. With bowed heads we accepted defeat in the Christmas food contest, but we paid our debt to the boys by throwing a Leap Year Dance for them. Everyone agreed it was certainly worth a dime, all right. We're talking about the Assembly program we put on February 7. The year has been a successful one for the League, and Miss Shaw, jean Campbell and Dorothy Miller reported an interesting time at the convention in April. Miss Leech plays advisor in this club lbut really she's just one of the gang -ask any memberl and Celia Sanchez is president. Our initiation was very thorough, you should have seen the new girls try to get the fly paper off their feet and legs. On luly I4 the club gave all the fellows who had played football during the season a gr-r-r-and banquet. There was lots of good food, a clever pro- gram, and many interesting speakers. The G.A.A. gave Big Bear a play day here-with baseball, basketball, pingpong, and badminton as the major sports. lt's a swell organization to belong to, all right. ART CLUB 32 The Art Club's first project was the studying of famous artists, such as Michelangelo, Titian, Rembrandt, etc., every alternate Friday, and having club meetings the remaining Fridays. At the first meeting Irvin Saul was elected president, jeanne Godshall vice- president, and Maxine Nielson, secretary-treasurer. On November l5 the Club was entertained by the Girls? Glee'Club with a dinner and dance. Saint Patrick's Day found the Art Club members busy decorating the aud in green and making shamrock place cards for their dinner guests, the teach- ers and honorary members of the Club.

JUNIOR PLAY The junior Class brought down the house with the performance of The Arrival of Kitty. Much credit goes to Miss Nelson for her fine work and sympathetic understanding as director, and to the student staff, under the direction of Earl Kollender. Plot: Bobbie Baxter's disguise as a gold-digging actress turned the habits of one William Winkler inside out. The arrival of the real Kitty placed Winkler in a tight spot and gave Bobbie his opportunity to ask for and win his sweetheart jane, who has misunderstood him. The cast included: Raymond Mitchell, Selma Barry, Irvin Saul, Helen Car- ter, Vernon Demaree, Maxine Beekley, Buster Navarro, Harold McAllister, and Maidie Weaver. SENIOR PLAY 34 The Senior play, Growing Pains, was excellently cast with the following members of the class of '36: Mildred Nilsen, Ernest Adams, Rosalis Dunham, Ira Elmer, Grace Quarterman, Rosemarie Street, Carol Lester, Martin Willson, Frank Rivers, james Rainey, Robert Brugge. Granville Reed, Donald Bunce, Dorothy Miller, Dorothy Broad, joyce Eagleton, jean Campbell, and Margery Stevens. The play dealt with the difficulties of vounfa people in passing through the period of adolescence and presented some of its complications. The end of the play found the brother and sister no more grown up than they were at the beginning. The production was splendidly directed by Miss Leech.
