AL RACE, Prerident Pffefzkfem fl! Race . . Buccaneer land is ruled this semester by not only a lirst class basketball and baseball player, and an A-1 prexy, but as Balboa students so aptly phrase it, one grand guy. Yes, those three little words describe Al Race to the proverbial Arriving in Balboa in spring ,36 from Monroe, Al immed- iately began carving an athletic niche for himself in Alma Mater's portals. Succeeding so tremendously in his sportsmanlike qualities, Al decided to take a whirl at the political side of high school life'. Having had a mild taste of an executives duties, which he ap- parently liked, when he served as low seniors boys' representative, Al took the fatal step and landed right smack into the heart of every Buccaneer. Yes, when it comes to presidents, Al is tops, as both the feminine and masculine population of Balboa will agree. AW ff . L GIFFIN G. MERTA D. HEWITT J. SKINNER R. SKINNER W. STEENBERG R.

Success was inevitable, for the Board was composed of elected officers representing classes and students at large who possessed initiative, ability, and a high degree of loyalty. Executive duties were capably handled by President Al Race and Vice President Lois Giffin. Through the action of the Board, students saw a revival of Hello Day which went over with a bang. In a school the size of Balboa, it is hard for students to become acquainted with all the other students, so Hello Day has as its purpose the making of new acquaintances which perhaps will develop into life-long friendships. In order to make school dances more enjoyable, members of the Board attended all of the affairs and encouraged dancing. At games these officials turned out with rooters' caps and were a source of inspira- tion for the rest of the school. The usual clean-up campaign seemed perhaps a bit more successful than in previous terms in that a cleaner campus was evi- dent most of the time. In order to raise money for repair and renewal of stage equipment, a Talent Review was presented by Max Liss on December 8. Following Balboa's previously adopted plan of stressing Americanism through the flag raising ceremony, the Board of Directors decided, upon the advice of Student Council, to put into effect the idea of having each registry give the Pledge of Alleg- iance at the beginning of each morning's work. The saluting of the flag, however, was to be done vol- untarily so that no false patriotism would be brought about by a compulsory salute to the flag. The idea, PAGE FOURTEEN
