MJ BOYS' FORUM OFFICERS Boys, Forum HE Boys' Forum is composed of all the boys of the school, they automatically become members by virtue of enrollment at Bell High School.

Working with the Kiwanis, Rotary, and Business Men's clubs, the business interests are focused on school activities. The Bell High School Forum had a successful year in 1927-1928.

'l iwgjmj-il, pr i M 'x i ' l L - STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Student Body NE of the forelmost reasons for success in the Bell High School is accredited to the efficient student self-government. Three years of experience revealed that student regulation was the best method for Bell High. Like miany of the other city schools, Bell has the commission form of government which includes a student body president and six commis- sioners. This group, along with four class presidents and faculty ad- visers, sit as a council to handle all school activities. With such a reliable form of student management this year's officers congratulate the student body for the fine spirit and co-operation shown in athletics, assemblies and other school functions. Notable in the work of the officers w.as that of Virginia Nuckols, who served during her entire senior year as commissioner of records, and Merle Lopp, student body president during the first semester of his senior ye.ar. Three times was he elected to serve in this office during his four years of high school. No little praise should be given Merle for his fine spirit of fairness and the ideals that he upheld for the presidents who followed him. Ebert Smith, president for the last semester, handled the reins in a manner that brought the splendid, helpful support that Bell student body knows how to give.

Every girl in high school is a member of this organization, and its purpose is to bring the girls closer together in all activities to teach them to be tolerant and helpful, and to develop leadership. Guided by Mrs. Rena Parsons, girls' vice principal, this year has been one of useful activities. All new girls were made to feel happy and at home by the Big Sister organization. Just before Christmas the Girls' League furnished ai playhouse with toy furniture for the kinder- garten children of the Corona Gramm-ar School. Among the social events were a Hallowe'en party and Valentine party where all the incoming freshmen were given a Big Sister before they had time to become lonely. The business of this league is carried on by the Girls' League cabi- net, which is composed of the officers and the chairmen of the various committees. The officers for the first semester were Vivian Gardner, president, Mabel Jones, vice president, Elda Lokke, secretary, and Max- ine Frazier, treasurer. Vivian Gardner was chosen to lead the Girls' League again the second semester, with the help of Elsie Seehorn, vice president, Virginia Nuckols, secretary, and Beatrice Patterson, treasurer.
