GIRLS ' FEDERATION The Girls ' - Federation of Wa-Hi, under the capable leadership of Lucile Angel! as President, has in the past year even surpassed its usual success. Elected to serve with Lucile were Norene McNeely as Vice-President, Joan Lee Robi nson as Secretary, and Virginia Gettman as Treasurer. At the beginning of this year, and of every year, the Federation has a party for all transfers put on by gEHs who sign up to work for it. The first frolic of the year wa$ put on by both the Boys ' and the Girls ' Federations, This was a Frosh Frolic. which, as the name implies, is for Freshmen who are admitted free. Senior counselling was started this year and has proven very satisfactory. Girls chosen to be counsellors are senior girls who are on the honor roll. They are assigned a certain number of Freshmen girls to whom they explain the organization of the school and give help and advise in adjusting them¬ selves scholastically and socially to high school The Girls ' Federation party is a big event given by the Sophomore girls. Costumes are worn, skits put on. and refreshments served. The renovation of the Dean ' s office was a big project of Girls ' Cabinet this year. All the work was done by the girls themselves with the exception of the painting of the ceiling and the laying of the new linoleum on the floor. The drapes were made by a com¬ mittee and the painting was done at night after school. Another transfer party was given at the end of the first semester. The annual Senior Tea was given the evening of April 4, April 8 and 9 were the days of the ti-State cqnferenoe, held in Pendleton, Oregon, to which the Federation sent the president, the secretary, and two junior girls, with the Dean, Mrs. Houghton. At the end of the first semester four junior girls, Barbara Berry, Marlene Oliver, Nancy Nessel, and Doris Proctor, were chosen to be members of the cabinet. These girls took the place of four seniors and are chosen because the experience gained will help them when they are seniors. The Federation this year has had girls and the faculty working in complete unity and har¬ mony. Without these two factors together the Federation cannot accomplish the standards set up for it. This is a word of thanks to the Cabinet, the Council, all the girls in Wa-Hi and to Mrs. Houghton, our Dean and adviser without whom Girls ' Federation could not function.
