A.o. A. HS. FALL 1942 DrAN HAMILTON ViviIAN Ursin Recording Secretary Bos BuRKE Financial Secretary Jack TURNER Fe IO. ss Pe ain s cece ee Ep Fry The fall term of 1942 was the most trying term ever faced by an A. S. A. H. S. administration. The Alameda student body was forced to face the fact that the United States of America was at war with the Axis and school was not to be “as usual.” President Dean Hamilton arranged some splendid meetings for the pleasure of the students. A highlight of this administration was the enlistment of our president, Dean Hamilton, in the United States Navy. Dean was called to active duty shortly before his term of office expired. Vivian Ursin, vice-president, completed the term as president. She filled her office admirably as both students and faculty will testify. Recording Secretary Bob Burke, con- scientiously fulfilled the duties of his office and, also, presented the student body with a new leather minute book to be used by future recording secre- taries. Jack Turner, financial secretary, achieved the “impossible” when he announced that for the first time in many years the student body was paid up one hundred percent for student card dues. Ed Fry was a fine and spirited yell leader. Ed’s fine leadership, the support and yells of the students, and the splendid coaching of Frank Collin, inspired the football team to capture second place in the A.C.A.L. The officers of the A.S.A.H.S. for the fall 1942 wish to thank the student faculty committee, both boards of control, the administrative board and all persons who helped make this an outstanding administration. Respectfully submitted, Bos BurKE, Recording Secretary, A.S.A.H.S. Fall Term 1942 {10}
