THE GIRL FRIENDS This year the activities of the Girls ' Federation have been numerous and varied. The establishing of a point system is one of the main developments, and enables the Federation to give due credit to all who partake in its affairs. Another new de¬ velopment was the entertaining of girls from federations in other towns. This made it possible for the girls to talk over various problems and gain new ideas. Friendship was stressed again this year, and several affairs were held for new girls. An important part of this was to have on call a girl for each period of the day to act as hostess for girls who were just enrolling. The friendship committee, headed by Leoma Kami and Shirley Pfaffle, did outstanding work in developing friendship among Wa-Hi girls. The social affairs were somewhat curtailed, due to the war, but several affairs were held. Outstanding among these was the party in the gym, which had as its theme “Black Magic,” and two parties tor new ' girls, which were held in the lounge. The Girls 5 and Boys ' Federations planned and sponsored the Wa-Hi carnival. Many girls in the Federation have taken part in the w ar work, such as the Red Cross and Victory Corps, The Federation purchased a war bond to be used after the war in developing the school. The assemblies have consisted of a spring and fall fashion show, a musical as¬ sembly, a dramatic play, and an open forum discussion, in addition to several others.

W Riess who told of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and an officer from the WAACS Also girls were given the opportunity to talk to representatives from some of the well-known colleges about their future plans.

WHAT YOUR STUDENT TICKET BUYS Under tlie able leadership of Bob Sporleder as president of the student body the students of Walla Walla High School have come through on top side of a trying year. Despite fewer social functions, the students have managed to keep themselves occupied. An estimated half of the students have been handling part-time jobs, thus necessitating a curtailment of extra-curricular activities. The first two pay assemblies of the year were exceptionally fine, and the students are eagerly awaiting the final one. The first pay assembly featured the Gay Vaqueros—three boys and their guitars from Old Mexico, They presented a program of gay and sparkling music, explained customs of Mexico, and demonstrated some of their native dances Chuck Collins blind entertainer, provided the program for the next pay assembly. His program included the singing of both classical and popular songs, and demonstrated the artist’s ability as a pianist. In closing, he explained the use of the Braille system. Tlie student hook store continued to he a successful student enterprise, with even a larger sup¬ ply of study materials, and was patronized by the students at every hour of the school day. Students actively participated in rag and scrap drives, turning over a large amount of needed material for use in the present emergency. The bond drive was really the one thing which illustrated the cooperation of the students as a whole. The quota set was exceeded by a 200 per cent margin, and received national recognition. The annual federal inspection was held this year on May 7 and as a school play day was at¬ tended and enjoyed by all. The only major catastrophe of the year came in the form of falling plaster. The accident look place in Room IiI7 with Jimmy Middleton, an innocent sophomore, as the victim. Injuries were not serious however, and a complete inspection of the roof followed. Vice-president Stan Maiden dropped out of school the second semester to assist his father in farming operations.. His duties as chairman of the legislative assembly were assumed by Jeanne Mc¬ Farland for the remainder of the year. Of the assemblies prepared by student organizations one of the most efficiently planned and highly entertaining was presented by the Future Farmers of America. Of the “Take It or Leave It” type, the quiz featured the names of faculty members suggested by brief skits put on by members of the organization. Chub Maiden, president of the F, F. A., acted as master of ceremonies and paid off the contestantss with candy bars. Establishment of a downtown recreational club through the cooperation of city officials furnish¬ ed the high school students with a place to enjoy themselves and to buy refreshments at cost. 2d
