THE BOY FRIENDS This year is one that will be remembered by the boys of Wa-Hi as one of in¬ tensive aetvity. Bob Demory served as president of the Federation, assisted by Louis Gehrett, vice-president. Bob Lange, secretary, and Paid Criseola, treasurer. These officers led lhe boys through a highly successful year. Tlie greatest improvement lias been the utilization of an unused classroom for a hoys ' lounge. It contains a ping-pong table and checker board with pictures of form¬ er Wa-Hi athletes adorning the walls The Federation friendship committee, similar to that maintained by the girls, insures new students of a warm welcome. As usual, the hoys have sponsored the Intramural homeroom competition, furn¬ ishing recreation for a large number of students, A quiz program for an all-school assembly and a radio program covering purposes and activities of the Federation were presented. Four boys ' assemblies were held. The first featured Dr, Richard¬ son of Whitman College as speaker, and the second, Captain George Roberts of the Walla Walla Air Base, An impressive farewell assembly was held for Lawrence Jaeky, faculty member who left mid-year for the service. Desp ite a marked decrease in the male element of Wa Hi’s student body, the Boys ' Federation has carried on its splendid work and will continue to do so for many years to come. non DHMOIIT Pl’CftfrlPtlt LOUTS OEHRETT, Vic(-Pi wLilont ROB LANOE Swetary PAUL CRTSCOLA TrtMiMirer BOVS ' CABINET First Row .

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. Among the speakers who talked to the girls are Mrs. L. 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. The annual senior tea sponsored by the junior girls for the senior girls and their mothers, w as held this year, Wednesday evening, April 7, The Girls ' Federation is the only organization which includes all the girls in Wa-Hi, and has a major part in maintaining self-government and democracy among the students.

THE GRUBBERS Well, here it is. The result of hours and hours of toil and tears and midnight oil, well mixed, is a high school annual. Lack of student interest in a sales campaign, shortages of materials, and leaky water pipes got the staff off to a good snappy start. The photographers, Hob Naimv and Richard Nightingale, managed to keep ahead of a complete lack of films by slightly more than a half-step. The leaky water pipes in room IN, former home of the Royal Blue, rusted the staff typewriter and ruined many of the pictures then on hand. Trying to figure the number (if student and faculty work hours that go into the production of a Royal Blue would result in the naming of a figure that no one not on the staff would believe. The staff this year lias been small, with Leoma Kann serving as editor, Lois Waldron as copy editor, Helen O ' Hearn as Jill-of-a 11-trades. Burton Roy I an as busi¬ ness manager, and Bob Naimv and Richard Nightingale as photographers. Betty Lawrence was a staff member until a downtown job lured her away. Royal Blue headquarters moved during the second semester from room 111 to room 208, a more central location and a lighter room. Had you dropped into room 208 after school during the first two weeks of April, you would have been impressed by the feverish activity evidenced by the workers. It wasn ' t, as many suspected, that they had taken a spring tonic. It was just the usual last minute rush of a staff trying to meet its deadlines. prcoMA KANN Editor BUHTOK BOTLAN Business Manager LOIS W A Lilli OX Copy Editor BliOmUTION ST ABB Naiiny, Kmm, Waldron, OJHcatti, Nightin¬ gale, La vv it nco, Bi y Inn.
