PRESIDENT Marion Riehl VICE-PRESIDENT Mari lee Hayes DEAN OF GIRLS Mrs. Houghton To merely summarize the material accomplishments of an organization such as the Girls ' Federation would be to hopelessly underestimate the real service that organization renders the school Its fundamental purposes of promoting friendship and supplying avenues of service for all girls are carried out in various ways. The federation sponsored a party for all the new girls at the first of each semester. These parties as well as the annual Big Sister Day helped to acquaint new students with Wa-Hi in general, The Cell Night celebration, strictly feminine, held in the fall was a great success. The all-girl play of the year, Ladies of the Mop ' was another Federation activity in which a number of girls had a hand. Wa-Hi girls did a wonderful job of playing host to the dele- gates of the Tri-State Meet that was held at Walla Walla in the spring. This year ' s successes are owed not only to the capable leader¬ ship of the officers, Marion Riehl, Marilee Hayes, Maysel Folleit, Harriett© Robinson, and Muriel Anderson, and the adviser, Mrs. Houghton, but to every girl in Wa-Hi who backed them in their work.

2nd Sem. Student Court 1st Sem, Student Court Pool, Weitz, Welk, Page, Nessel Skubinna, Pool, Boyer, Gerkey, Fehlberg, Dickson, Tanner Legislative Assembly, headed by Mark McDermott, introduced and passed many new bills, which constituted the first set of bydaws the school has ever had. They proposed a new type of student body election; a budget, which was larger than the school has seen for a long time was set up for two years, and the members handled the city canvass for the Community Chest Drive, The Student Court met regu¬ larly to try cases. It was especially instrumental in stopping traffic violations around the school. Wa-Hi virtually buzzed with activity this year, because of the co-operation of the entire student body. More of this same spirit in future years will lead to the kind of unified and democratic form of student government to which Wa-Hi aspires. 2nd Sem, Leg, Assembly— 4ih Row: Ray, Filan, W.

The school year 1947-1948 proved to be a successful one for the Boys ' Federation under the guidance of Mr, Ledbetter, dean of boys, and Phil Griffiths, Boys ' Fed. President. The Boys ' Federation working with the Girls ' Federation presented the first frolic of the year welcoming the Freshmen to Wa-Hi A clothing drive was sponsored by the two groups and the clothes were sent to the United Church Overseas Relief in Seattle. Also in conjunction with the girls, Courtesy Week was brought to Wa-Hi. The highlight was the electing of Queen Muriel Anderson and King Dwight Pool who reigned over the noon frolic at the end of the week. Boys ' Assemblies were held each month. Some of the out¬ standing were; a talk by Mayor Nig Borleske; a typical Wa- Hilites broadcast: also the new coaching staff, consisting of Felix Fletcher and Boots Wooten were introduced and gave talks. One of the main duties of the Boys ' Federation is to carry out a successful intramural program. This year Ronald Tomp¬ kins was the manager who planned the games between the home rooms. At the end of the year a cup is presented to the team which has amassed the greatest number of ponts. Knight Tompkins Boys ' Cabinet
