Executive 4 ' oiiimittee lO THE Executive Committee goes the credit for the smooth-running of student hody affairs, and 1 the management of all the school divisions such as the candy counter, the hook exchange and all other enterprises which are of benefit to the students at Washington. This term, to facilitate the preparations for the assembly programs, a special committee was appointed to prepare all of the programs. This very active and functioning committee relieved the faculty members of the responsibility and 1 promoted the best assemblies held at Washington for a number of years. In time to come the committee will enlarge to the extent of its work being accepted as a regular student activity and be recognized as such. The fine work done this term proves definitely that students can and will manage their activities to the best interests of Washington. The Executive Committee presented the activity cup to the two seniors who have excelled and been outstanding during their four years at Wash- ington. The award is made jointly by the committee and the faculty based on recognition of points of scholarship, responsibility, personality, courtesy, cooperation, ami athletics. The Executive Committee is especially to be commended this year for their fine work. Every activity for the forwarding and betterment of Wash- ington is sanctioned by them. Every opportunity to enlarge and promote the school ' s interests as well as those of the students is seized upon and invigorated by them. To insure a popular working setup the group is selected by the student body at large by a nominating committee. [16]

(virls Loa no X HE GIRLS ' LEAGUE is one of the outstanding organizations of the sehool for it fosters loyalty, friendship, higher standards of character and scholar- ship in the activities sponsored throughout the term. These aims and ideals huild for a more wholesome personality and for hetter womanhood. A fine spirit of cooperation was shown hy the girls during the year ' s work in carrying out the study plan of International Goodwill, ami hy the giving of two teas. One of the teas was for the term advisors, and the other hy the seventh-termers for the new girls at Washington. Each term class presented one act in the Carnival, and as another means of raising money, maroon and gold chrysanthemums were sold for the Armistice Day game. The sale of Washington rings also added to the fund created each year as a Scholarship fund. Mrs. Stanley Chin was the guest who spoke at the semi-annual general assembly. Insignias and the scholarship cup were awarded at this assemhly. This year ' s installation ceremony was hroadcasted over station KBPS in conjunction with a message for the dean, Miss Lamherson. The broad- cast was held on Novemher 15. At Thanksgiving time the members of the group turned their hands toward the needy and carried on a program of benevolent work for the unfortunate. We feel that the work accomplished this term has been due to the in- spiring influence of Miss Lamherson and to the helpful guidance given to us hy our term advisors. [17]
