irls' eague The Girls' League consisted of all the girls in the student body and was formed For the purpose of stimulating the girls' in- terest in school activities and to acquaint the girls with one another. The Girls' League was very active this year, the main project being the Mothers' Tea for all the girls and their mothers. The nrogram was planned by the girls and the style show by Miss Freeman, the Home Economics teacher. Along with the other activities was the 'All Girls' Slumber Party held in the high school gym. This was a successful money- naking project in addition to being a hilar- ous and slumberless time. The adviser, Mrs. Lorene Walker, de- serves most of the credit for the achieve- nents of the club. She worked very hard to nake this a better and moreoutstanding Girls' League. BOYS' LEAGUE CABINET-Buttnm row, left to right: Galen Fields, Bob Lindeman, Bill Plughoff, ,lon Shirey.

Boys' eague The Boys' League of West Valley High was organized this year to give every boy in school a chance to participate in activi- ties and functions where he otherwise might not be able to do so. Major services con- sidered this year have been patroling at football games and other such activities. Because of the late start, much of the work and discussion has related to future proj- ects, aims, and to develop an active and worthwhile organization. 65

Under the supervision of Mrs. Dowd they performed during the half-times, the dedication and homecoming football game. At these per- formances they were dressed in white ped- al-pushers, white sweaters with white ank- lets, and white shoes. They next marched at half-time of the West Valley vs. Toppenish basketball game. For this performance they had re- ceived pleated skirts with white majorette boots. In these uniforms they marched at various other games during the remainder of the season. Their money-making schemes all went for one big purpose which was to get their hats. After they earned this money, they started to raise money to buy lights to use when marching. Officers who were elected to lead the group were Donna Smith, president: Patty Worrell, vice-president: Joy Suckow, sec- retary-treasurer: and Judie Weiss, social chairman. ..
