THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS The students who form the Board of Commissioners, are the heads of the various organizations, such as: The four Service Commissioners, Girls, Athletic Commissioner, Boys, Athletic Commissioner, Editor of the Log, Bookstore Man- ager, Letterman Representative, President of Student Council, Secretary of the Board of Commissioners, and the two Service Secretaries. In their conferences, the problems that are discussed are those that each mem- ber meets every day and is unable to solve by himself. In this way each one then profits by the otl1er's experiences and gains bigger ideas for his own department. l l J I FIRE BRIGADE The Garfield Fire Brigade was organized well along towards the end of the fall semester. Mr. Snyder, of the Methematics Department, was chosen by the principal to act as commissioner, supported by Mr. Cornell of the Mechanical Arts Department. An organization consisting of two divisions was decided upon, a Senior and a Junior Brigade. each to have its own officers and each to function as a unit within itself. the whole organization to be under the direction of the Senior Chief. Richard Foster. the Senior Chief, and Marvin Thronson. Junior Chief, have responded to the call to service-for-Garfield with commendable enthu- siasm. We are in hopes that within the next few months of school activity at Garfield. the Brigade will have the necessary equipment to enable them to put UD a real show in the matter of handling any suopositional or real case of trouble that Ere companies are required to contend with. THE SAFETY PATROL ' The Safety Patrol wishes to thank the student body for its fine cooperation. It is working hard for excellent order and rapid filing between periods. The Patrol works in the halls, on the grounds, and on the streets near the school. It is hard to keep safety in the minds of the students, but the Patrol reminds them gently but firmly that they must follow the rules. Keep up your fine cooperation. It helps everybody and especially you.

THE LOG The Garfield Log, the first publication of the Garfield High School, made its appearance November 25, 1925. The paper was produced and published under the direction and supervision of Miss Bell, and bore the temporary title of the Garfield Newsf' The paper was entirely hand set by members of the printing classes, under the direction of Mr. Brooks. By the time the third issue appeared, the permanent title of The Garfield Logn had been selected as a tribute to James A. Garfield. The term, log, is of deep significance. The mariner,s log is the record of a ship's progress over seas, and shows how fast it travels and how far it goes. When James A. Garfield was a student in the Williams College, he said of its president, Mark Hopkins, A log with a student on one end and Mark Hopkins on the other, is my ideal of a college. The Garfield Log, therefore, may be considered a record of the progress and achievement of the school, and the symbol of an ideal school. Editorial Staff Editor-in-chief ........

One Clay Miss Stejskal, our English teacher, suggested that our room have a column in the Garfield Log. This suggestion met with approval by the students of Home Room 326. After some discussion the editor and assistant were appointed and other officers elected. Miss Bell. head of the English Department, took lively interest in the column. Then one day Miss Bell suggested that we have a room magazine of our own. This also met with approval, and that is how our magazine started. For the first number, which appeared on March 19th, the contributions came almost wholly from the B8 English class of Home Room 326, but since that time there has been active participation by all three Junior Division grades, the seventh, eighth, and ninth. The articles have ranged from editorials of a more serious nature to jokes, including original poems, compositions, and a mystery serial. The Editorial Staff Edit0r.in.Chief ,... ,.......,..
