Elected on the basis of his friendly personality and charm, Von Phillips later also proved himself to be a capable and effective leader. He was an energetic supporter of school spirit and took an active part in drama, football, and track. He participated in leadership meetings and worked closely with the advisor, Mr. Armstrong, to achieve a unity between the students and the administration. As the head of our student government, he welcomed guests and acquainted them with our campus. In September, Von, along with nine other members of lead- ership, represented Charter Oak High at the Student Government conference at Redlands University. Respecting his authority, we students conscientiously complied with his re- quests to take pride in our school and work hard to make it the best we can.

And that was the main objective of leadership under the watchful eye of Mr. Armstrong. Along these lines, the first topic on the agenda was better communi- cation among parents, students, and teachers about the controversial dress code. On campus, leadership was always behind the scenes, unnoticed by students until a crucial point developed. It was then up to the cabinet, which was chosen by the A.S.B. president, and the class-elected legislature, to make big deci- sions about the school activities in question.
