MESSAGE . . . ment.New football uniforms, new basketball uniforms, and new baseball uniforms were purchased at a cost of more than three thousand dollars. Another worthwhile investment is the new 16mm moving picture camera, which enables us to keep a valuable pictorial record of our athletic activities. The two Boards of Control have served efficiently and well in handling meetings and in helping to solve the traffic congestion in the hallways and on the stairs. They deserve and receive our sincere thanks. The student body officers for the spring semester are carrying forward the fine work of their predecessors and are reaching out for new goals. The Service Council under the leadership of the President of the Associated Students is creating for us a vast storehouse of good will among the merchants of Park Street. I especially want to commend them for their work and to thank the students who are coop- erating with them. Excellent service has been given the school by our bands, our orchestras, our glee clubs, our choir, our dramatic groups, our auditorium staff, our Oak Leaf staff and our ACORN staff. The classes and the clubs, the Girls' Association and the Men's Association, the athletic groups, and the scholarship societies have all contributed to making this a happy and successful year. Let us all continue to work to make our school a better school so that we can speak of Alameda High School with pride at all times. To Miss Brosnan, faculty adviser, Bradley Wyatt, editor, J im Lennox, business manager, and to the ACORN Staff, I extend my thanks and appreciation for handling the difficult task of producing the 1947 ACORN. 3 auvkf E71

My message this year is one of thanks and appreciation to all of the students and faculty members who have made this a banner year for Alameda High School..We started out in September with a large enrollment and in a very short time the financial secretary was able to announce that the school was one hundred per cent in student body memberships. That announcement was important because it meant that all were working as a unit for the welfare of the school. It meant that the students had confidence in their elected officers. Our first football games demonstrated that we had an outstanding team and that the students were solidly behind it. Our rooters attended the games in large numbers, had lots of fun, gave the team the necessary inspiration, and, what is most important, conducted themselves exceptionally well. We received numerous compliments from the other A.C.A.L. schools concerning our spirit and our con- duct at the games. The basketball season, which resulted in a championship, gave us further opportunity to demonstrate our loyalty and enthusiasm in a sportsman- like manner. I congratulate the teams and thank the students and faculty members who helped to make the football and basketball seasons so successful. My congratu- lations are also extended to the teams which are just starting their league competi- tion as this is written. The student body oflicers all worked hard to secure the very best talent that was obtainable for student meetings. The Administrative Board used good judgment in handling the funds of the school and in supplying the teams with new equip- l6l . BRYAN S
