GARFIELD SERVICE In the fall of the year 1925, a letter was sent to different recommended stu- dents who were to attend Garfield I-ligh School, requesting their presence at a meeting. As a result of this preliminary meeting, an organization was formed for the purpose of upholding the standards of the school. This high-iclealed organ- ization was duly called The Service? Today, it is the lardest and if-ost active organization of the school. as more than three-fourths of the student body are enrolled, members. The chief sponsor is Mr. Lloyd W. Fellows, a history teacher. Through his persistent efforts, he has made it the best-known organization of Gar- field High School. In the middle of the first semester, three new faculty advisors were added to the advisory board. These additional advisors helped to relieve Mr. Fellows of the numerous, heavy burdens which accompanied his great task. The buildings and grounds committee, the Minute-men, the Usher squad, and the Safety Patrol were appointed for the purpose of keeping the buildings clean and promoting bet- ter conduct in the halls. It was the main working arm or cog in the organization of the school and the right-hand assistant of the principal, Mr. Ingalls. After the first week, the organ- ization began to feel the necessity for officers. Temporary daily commissioners were appointed. This was followed by the appointment of captains for each per- iod. As the school progressed, weekly commissioners were appointed so that both Mr. Ingalls and Mr. Fellows could get a check on the students who showed the greatest ability for leadership. Later on in the term permanent commissioners were elected. Eugene White received the position of Boys' Senior Commissioner and Mary Goodwin that of Girls, Senior Commissioner. As no one received the majority vote for the positions of Junior Commissioners, a second vote waas taken, in which Duane Miller and Erma Price were elected. The commissioners in turn appointed Pauline Weymouth, Senior Secretary and Treasurer of the Service, Velmo Allen, Junior Secretary, and Mary De Bord, Secretary of the Board of Commissioners. Thus, the Garfield Servicevl has succeeded in fulfilling and upholding the motto of Garfield I-ligh School, A Clear Head, A True Heart, and a Strong Armf' ,y . f N e C 'REX Lu mp of Lczirning Twenty-two

The purpose of the society is to recognize high standards of scholarship, to help in the development of out-standing personal qualities, and to encourage well- rounded achievement. It differs from the usual honor society in that it makes special provision for the recognition of conspicuous service to the school. It aims not only to gather together all those who hold high ideals of scholarly attainment, but also to admit to its ranks those others who, though their scholarship may not be of so high standing, yet have rendered useful service to the school by holding ofhce in some organization, or who, through work in Garfield Servicef' have rendered special help in the management of the school. Each club, the Senior High School Society and the Junior High School Soci- ety, is divided into two sections, a scholarship division and an achievement division. Membership in the former is won by receiving four A's in solids. Students belong- ing to this section are eligible for membership in the California Scholarship Feder- ation. Enrollment in the achievement section is won in part by scholarship and in part by service to the school. The main efforts of the club this year have been devoted to organiation. The members hope that as time passes the Honor Society will grow into an active body. They believe the society will have strong influence in the school, because every member is pledged to work unceasingly for high scholarly attainment, and to do all in his power to assist and encourage his fellow students to strive for the better things in scholarship and service.
