Finishing its eighteenth year of service, our Chapter III of the California Schol¬ arship Federation adds one nnore year to its past record of scholastic success. Each member in order to. belong to this organization must have semester grades high enough to total ten points—allowing three points for each A and one point for each B. Having remained in the C. S. F. for six semesters, one semester being in their fourth year, the seniors receiving their Life Membership pins—a small gold lamp—were Norma Biale, Dorothy Enos, Lucille Raymond, June Rose, Charlotte Lewis and Charles Marriott. Sally Logan received her novitiate pin, a gold torch, this year as a reward for retaining her membership for four semesters. This is truly an out¬ standing representation of our organization. Although tew activities were carried out this year, our customary formal initia¬ tion was not overlooked. In March three new members, Lloyd Darneal, Paul Fracolli and Charles Ruelas, were admitted into the organization. The formal ceremony was followed by a luncheon and an entertainment in the cafeteria. Later in the year the C. S. F. as a whole looked over and discussed the curricula and catalogs of the various colleges throughout the state. As a project of interest the group made a study of the Roberts ' Rules Revised. This was conducted and led by our adviser, Mrs. Doane, and we learned with eager enthusiasm the rules and proper procedure for conducting formal meetings. The officers for the year were Charlotte Lewis, president; June Rose, vice-presi¬ dent; Dorothy Jackson, secretary; Norma Biale, treasurer; Vivian Rose, program chair¬ man; Mrs. Doane, adviser. J. Rose, D. Jackson, C. Lewis. Back Row: D. Hernandez, N. Biale, D. Enos, C. Ruelas, J. Rose, P. Fracolli, E. Tremblay, Marrott, R. Fong, L. Darneal, B. Ives. Front Row: Mrs. Doane, R. MacDonald, L.

GIRLS ' LEAGUE Big Little Sister Day, held December 3, 1943, was the first activity sponsored by the Girls ' League this year. The senior and freshmen girls assembled In the audi¬ torium and after the names of each big sister and little sister had been read, the girls went Into the cafeteria, where refreshments were served. After enjoying the food and conversing with the new girls, the seniors took their little sisters Into the gym, where they spent the rest of the afternoon dancing. On Friday, March 3, the girls held another meeting, an Informal get together, while the boys were being entertained by motion pictures. The program chairman provided a short musical entertainment, which consisted of two vocal numbers, a dance number, a saxophone number and a piano solo. The modeling of the neatly put together dresses, play togs, etc., made by the homemaking girls, was presented to the mothers of the community in a Fashion Show at the annual Mothers ' Day Tea. Formal Installation of officers for 1944-45 was held by Candle Light Ceremony again this year. In this impressive ceremony, lighted candles are set in front of each outgoing officer and unllghted candles in front of the new officers. After the reader has finished explaining the purpose of the Girls ' League, each old officer lights the candle of the girl who is to take her office for the next year. Officers this year were Joyce Karel, president; June Rose, vice-president; Lucille Raymond, secretary; Delphine Soito, treasurer; Alble Mae Costa, program chairman; Winifred Dias, ways and means chairman, and Vivian Griffith, hospitality chairman. Mrs. Hegan, Dean of Girls, acts as adviser for the Girls ' League.

HATCHET Because of the shortage of material, the small war time edition of the Hatchet has been continued this year. Page one, as in the past, contains the headline stories. Such things as assemblies, productions, trustees ' news, evening school and class activ¬ ities appear on this page. On pages two and three are printed the features, among which are editorials, jokes, with the armed forces, personalities and the gossip column to which students all look forward in each edition. Perhaps we should explain that this column contains information of what schoolmates are doing in the social world. Some other articles, such as the band stand, which introduces new records, sheet music and the hit tunes; fashions, and Lucy Wise, which is a column in which advice is offered, help keep the students up on the newest music, smart clothes and ideas. Sports, both boys ' and girls ' , appear on page four. The Hatchet Staff has been striving to contribute to the war effort by bring¬ ing to the attention of the students the reasons for salvages and necessity of Bond Drives. How a continuous concentration on studies can be of help to the war effort was also another point which was carried across to the students by this paper. A great deal of the success which the Hatchet has had this year could not have been attained without the advice and assistance of Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby. To the boys in the print shop, who have hand set most of the type, we owe many thanks. Dorothy Jackson was editor, and Lester Whitaker and Rosemary McDonald were associate editors; Mildred Martin was business manager. Upper Row: L. Goularte, A. Gorman, B. Rose, L. Whitaker, D.
