Mrs. Bauer serves as assistant in the library and helps the students to find the books they wish. She also helps to catalog and arrange the magazines and books. OUR CREED I believe in Garfield High School because it gives me a chance to work, an opportunity to sacrifice self for the good of all, and a challenge to serve mv fellow students. I believe it will develop in me the habit of punctuality and regularity, respect for the personal and property rights of others, a feeling of individual respon- sibility for fhe common good, and a willingness always to give a square deal. I believe it will help me to build for myself a Clear Head, a True Heart, and a Strong Arm. twenty

mm m gi GARFIELD SERVICE ' I ' HE COMBINED forccs of the Junior and Senior division of the Garfield service - - constitute the largest organization in the school. Its members consist of those students who are rendering this service in meeting everyday occurrences, as well as any emergencies that may arise. In this way they live up to the motto, School is for service, not for self. To become a member of this organization, the candidate must be a Garfield student for one semester prior to filing his application. To have the application accepted, he must have a scholarship record that will show no failure for the pre- vious semester and must have a merit record of ninety-five or above. Late appli- cations are not considered unless the student offers a real excuse, one that will be approved by the sponsor. After becoming a member, the student is given many opportunities in which to serve the school. He may go on hall duty, work in the Lost and Found, be a mes- senger, work in the laboratories or in the gym offices, do typing, and numerous other things. After serving for a period of twenty weeks, the student receives his award in the form of a certificate, which gives him a certain number of points. The amount received is in portion to the amount of service rendered. Twenty points are generally earned by one term of service and entitle one to a bronze pin. Eighty points earned entitle the owner to a silver pin if he is in the eleventh grade, and one hundred and twenty points bring to the student a gold pin if in the twelfth grade. Points may be added semester by semester. Sponsors this year are as follows: Mr. S. G. Oyler, chairman; Mr. C. C. Hurley, Boys ' Senior Division; Mrs. Roberta Brown and Mrs. Laura Magruder, Senior Girls ' division; Miss June S. Shoden and Miss F. Ruth Beaty, Junior Girls Division. With the cooperation of the sponsors and the commissioners, the Service organiza- tion has grown rapidly in elHciency and membership, and has been a decisive ' factor in the rapid growth and development of Garfield High School. OUR MOTTO There is no American youth however poor, however humble, orphan though he may be, who may not rise through all the grades of society and become the crown, the glory, the pillar of his state — provided he have a Clear Head, A True Hea rt, A Strong Arm. — James A.
