A. S. A. WH. S. FALL ’37 Bitt GopFREY President Louts Martini... Recording Secretary Berry WALDEAR Vice President Bit, CANNING Financial Secretary Jack BENNETT Yell Leader The Fall administration of 1937 under the very capable leadership of Bill Godfrey and Betty Waldear was one which will long be remembered for its friendliness and efficiency. This was an administration which worked as a unit and therefore accomplished much. President Godfrey and the Student Faculty Committee secured for us many interesting and enjoyable student meetings. Some of the more outstanding meet- ings were the Student Talent Day, talks by members of the Santa Clara Foot- ball team, National School Assemblies, program with Albany High School, Hal Burdick’s “Night Editor,” some interesting programs by the combined Glee Clubs, an outstand'ng meeting of the Girls’ Association, and an interesting talk by Dr. Cleman, in commemoration of Armistice Day. Financial Secretary Bill Canning. did a very splendid job, and saw to it that our money was wisely spent. As Yell Leader, Jack Bennett was the “tops,” for it was he who raised our morale and school spirit to an unexcelled height. The manner in which Bill and his administration functioned was truly re- markable, so therefore we do not think it boasting to say that we rank high on the list of Administrations.

A. S. A. WH. S. SPRING ’38 The spring term of 1938 was started off with a splendid student meeting featuring “Scotty” Allen, noted authority on dogs and Alaska. In successive weeks many other entertaining and instructive meetings were planned and put on, through the efforts of President Bill Canning and the Stu- dent Faculty Committee. Such personalities appeared as former ASAHS Presi- dent, Travis Winsor; Armand Gerard, N.B.C. artist: and Mr. Courtwright and his remarkable dogs. Three National School Assembly programs were also en- joyed by the students. The Administration has sponsored five dansants, “free to student card hold- ers,” and a School Opening Dance, managed by Ted Keremitsis, an affair which now seems to be an established tradition. A movie was also given after school to raise money for student meeting expenses, and it turned out to be a great finan- cial success. Fine work has been done by all members of the Administration. The out- standing student meetings put on by President Bill Canning will long be remem- bered. Vice President Natalie Schreiber took charge of the Student Talent Day program, directed by Jim Smith, one of the best of the best. Financial Secretary Ted Dow has broken the record for Spring sales of student cards. John Vigen has maintained that “Old School Spirit” throughout the term, during meetings and at athletic events. If for no other reason, the unparalleled student meetings presented will classify the Spring Administration of 1938 as a model for posterity. RECORDING SECRETARY.
