BILL SILLS Christiansen The Executive Committee presided with considerable interference this term, but we of the committee were surprised ourselves by accomplishing all and more than we thought possible. Our meetings were of necessity held before school where our somewhat less amount of business was attended to. The Executive Committee presented several dances to the Student Body, which were all successes. Also, needless to say, Mr. Smith's cooperation and assistance in all our activities were invaluable and we wish to express our sincere gratitude to him for all he did. In our contest with Franklin to sell the most Student Body cards by a cer- tain date, Franklin reached the 100 per cent mark first, but with our Wash- ington spirit, we came in immediately after with 100 per cent also, the first time that we have ever reached that record. Our contest with Lincoln to sell the most tickets at the Inter-School Dance came out without a doubt victori- ous for us, and would have been victorious with anyone, since we had more couples there than any other school represented. Our bond drive is coming along very well at the last report and We will undoubtedly pass the S50.000 mark by June. Because of the lack of opportunities to show the students how the Student Body government was conducted, many people were unaware of many of the activities of the Executive Committee, much less who the members were. However, we feel that we did all in our power to make the past term a suc- cessful one.

President.............................BARBARA HOOD Vice-President....................................BETH SHIPLEY Secretary..........................LOUISE KNOUFF Treasurer..........................................KAY MURPHY Sergeant-at-Arms .... BARBARA BLINCO Editor............................LUCILLE OLIVER The Girls' League opened their activities for the year with the installation of officers which was a very impressive ceremony. The Girls' League also sponsored a key drive and the big jug was soon filled with the valuable pieces of metal. hood Girls' League Week, the most important venture of the term, was a big success. The theme of the week was “Say It With Music.'' Under the cap- able leadership of Barbara Hood, President, each day's program went smoothly. Since our object this term was service to our country as well as to our school, sums of money were given to several war agencies. Twenty-five dollars went to the Red Cross. S25.00 to China Relief and S50.00 to other worthy causes pertaining to the war effort. The making of fifty ditty bags for soldiers was another of our accomplishments. We owe a vote of thanks to the officers and girls who helped make this term one of our most successful. SHIPLEY KNOUFF MURPHY BLINCO OLIVER
