During the 1957-1958 schooi year, head- master J. P. Malach asked for volunteers from the High School to form the American School Safety Unit. The purpose of the unit was to aid the police with the con- gested traffic from 12:30 to 1:00, and, thus, to insure further the safety of the Lower School students. That year the Patrol was commended by the Philippine Safety Council for its good work. Since then no major accidents or personal injuries have occured near the American School. The Patrol may truly be proud of this record. The American School Chess Club, founded in 1951, has now finished its ninth year as a major school activity. It has grown in size and equipment each year. It is interest- ing to note the shift in the average age of the club members - it is now ten. There is an amazing interest among the lower school students to learn to play chess - and to play it well. The students trained this year will be the champions of the years to come. The officers were: president, Ronnie Har- gravesg vice-president, Dewey Yapg and sec- retary, Helen Klar. Chuck Harrison gives Dewey Yap some pointers while Paul Hoshall, Bill Lockwood, Sandy Lock wood, Peter Muilenburg and Joe Gordon prepare to direct the congested traffic on Donada, Menlo, and Taft. Engaged in a game of chess, occasional visitors Lee del Pan and Edgar Priestman match Wits while interested members watch. Chess Club Mast M .

L 'S it 5 -M9515 Q . gf -Q ,,,. , .1 ,. ,, 1 Keeping careful watch over this year's Student Body Officer elections, Edgar, Marty, Chairman Bill, Linda and Fred were kept on their toes making sure election rules were not violated by hopeful candidates or over-zealous supporters. The Election Committee was chosen early this year since it was necessary to hold a special presidential election. Bill Dunkun was appointed chairman by the Student Council and he chose his committee. Peti- tions were made available and two can- didates responded, Candace Gibbs. and Valerie Larsen. Campaign and election dates were set up and and election code put into effect. The campaigns were conducted in a fair and sportsman-like manner. The elections were the most orderly and ef- ficient in years. 9822 of the eligible voters cast their ballots, with the number of de- faced ballots kept at a minimum. The results were: 170 for Larsen and 164 for Gibbs. Members: Linda McJennett, Martha Anderson, Fred Burns, and Edgar Priest- man. l l The Awards Committee, made up of the three student body officers, the chairmen of the standing committees, and the editors of the Kawayan and the Bamboo Telegraph, met during the latter part of the school- year to decide what awards to give upper school students for participation in all extra-curricular activities, except sports. Major and minor certificates, medals, plaques, and, in exceptional cases, trophies were awarded to those who had the requisite number of points throughout the school year. All awards were presented at the Awards Assembly held at the end of the school year. To the Awards Committee goes the job of selecting those who should be recognized at the last as- sembly for their outstanding support of school activities. , rrrae'r crrfrr l ,,. ..., ii
