Damon: Bret Harte Student Body The Bret Harte Student Body is the leading Progressive organi- zation of the school. It has a membership of nearly the entire en- rollment of the school. This organization heads nearly all of the civic and athletic activities of the students. It finances sports and presents educational features for the pupils. Regular meetings are held at which time the affairs of the students and their activities are discussed. Oflicers hold their positions, to which they are elected by the students, for the entire school year. Those people who are now hold- ing office are: Annabel Redding, presidentg Catherine MonteVerda, vice-presidentg Ambrosia Colendich, secretaryg Wesley Slavazza, treasurer, Russell Dragone, sergeant-at-arms. The withdrawal from school of Delvina Taylor, followed by that of Mamie Sayer, who succeeded Delvina to the office of treasurer, led to the election of Wesley Slavazza to that position. At present he is proving himself to be very capable in that capacity. These officers are aided by the student council and by the various standing committees. This year a new system has been adopted which has greatly in- creased the educational value of the student body. At each meeting a program of educational material of high quality is presented by the student body program committee and by the different classes. The student body also sponsors scholastic and athletic societies af- filiated with state bodies. This organization not only promotes better feeling and under- standing among the pupils While in school, but it also prepares them to become better citizens when they get out into the business World. -..if 22 B...

Ecu: Girls' Welfare League In order to get more enjoyment from their four yea-rs in camp, the girls of the Bret Harte Party have established an organization which meets regularly under the guidance of Miss Grace. After all camp business has been attended to, a program, arranged by a com- mittee appointed at the preceding meeting, is presented. These pro- grams not only afford relief from camp duties but give the girls an opportunity to display their talents. As oflicers the girls have elected Bertha Thrower, president, Thelma Benigar, vice-president, Marguerite Egan, secretary-treas- urer. To keep the members interested in all camp activities points are given for everything done, such as helping with programs, donating, bringing flowers, or serving on committees. Each division of the party elects an executive who keeps the points of each girl in her division. At the end of the year the points are totaled and pins are awarded. All girls with live hundred points receive a bronze ping those with seven hundred and fifty points a silver ping and those with a thousand points get a gold pin with a guard. Once each year a convention of all the leagues in the Bay Section of California is held. Each league is entitled to two delegates. The girls attending the convention are those with the highest number of points. This year our representatives to the meeting held at the Oakland High School were Bertha Thrower, Vivian Lillie, and Annabel Redding. Any problems with which the girls are confront- ed are discussed at such assemblies, and possible solutions are offered. The customary social functions of the year are a Christmas party for the girls and a reception, usually held in May, for the mothers. ...gf 23 H..-
