STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Lawrence Schmidt.......................................President HELEN Bunch ----- Treasurer Doris Patrick ----- Secretary Laverne Jess......................................Vice President •(• -j- STUDENT ADMINISTRATION The students of the High School feel that they were fortunate in their choice of officers for this year. They have shown great ability in the execution of their duties. In a school of four hundred students it is no small task to fill one of these more important offices; therefore one who has done so may feel that he has been of great service to his school. These four officers and the principal make up the executive committee of the High School. The Student Body Council is composed of these Student Body officers, the four class presidents, a representative from each class, the athletic manager, and the ticket manager. The Toka and Scroll Editors are members ex officio. Mr. Hepp is also a member ex officio and advisor of the Council. Phe school has made another step toward perfecting their executive system by the creation of two new offices this year. The first of these is that of Athletic Manager. Under the new arrangement all athletics are under one manager. They can be handled much more efficiently this way, and the result of the change has been very satisfactory. A large part of this satisfaction may be due to the individual who filled the position this year. Laverne Jess has many times been termed the busiest man in school, and not without cause. His untiring efforts not only as athletic manager but also as the Senior class president and vice-president of the student body have won respect and popularity for him among the students. The other new office was that of ticket manager. Virginia Rengstorff was selected for the position on account of the ability she has shown in that line in the past. Gin has always been a prize winner in ticket-selling contests. This year she had charge of all ticket sales for games. Putting this duty in the hands of one person makes it possible to keep a more accurate account. ITie student body council is an advisory body to the student body as a whole, and is indispensable in the administration of student affairs. —10—

SENIOR CLASS POEM Like a plane setting out on a voyage Through a sky of azure hue. We began our High School journey. With our banner, gold and blue. Some fleecy clouds, like lambs of the air. Hurrying quickly past Were trials, and sorrows of second year. But we learned they didn’t last. We dipped, and glided with ease and grace. And ever increased our speed. In all affairs of Grants Pass High Our class maintained the lead. As our plane moves on toward the distant line 1 hat marks the horizon. We wonder if this can be the end. Or if something’s on “beyond.” Some gloomy clouds are gathering. Each seems to shed a tear. For they see the dusk, and the sunset In this, our Senior year. But a light streams through the cloud bars. And over them peeps the sun. It is not the twilight, but dawning. Our lives have only begun. Our plane is home from its voyage. It has weathered the storms, and strife. Tomorrow begins a new journey, “Progress is the law of life.” D Marjorie Snider.
