The Ephebian sOciety was Organized by Dr. Albert Shiels in 1917. The idea was derived from the Ephebian Order, created in Athens during the year 300 B. C. The purpose of this ancient Organization was to further the ideals and standards of the city, Theirs' was a sacred trust, as is the trust given those students xvho have been elected to this honor organization from our own high school. Ten per cent of the members of the class having those qualities essential to membership are eligible. From this group one Ephebian to every forty is chosen, At the end of each semester the newly elected Ephebians are presented with the Ephebian ring, purchased from the student body fund. The design of the ring represents, Def-eiise of the city, Liberty, Enlightenment, and l-louor. To the weareiis of the ring are intrusted the ideals and progress oi' our city. Theirs is a trust, and in the words of the oath they strixe 'Rio transmit this city far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. l34l

Fremont High School during the past year has been due, if indirectly. to the support and aid given by this loyal group of workers, the Patlzfinder staff. For this reason the Fremont student body is exceedingly proud of its school paper, distributed each Friday morning at roll call. During this year the Pathfmdev' has made amazing progress in style, distribuf tion, and subject matter under the sup' ervision of Miss Ruth Bartlett, with Mike Holubow and Bill Tandy as edif tors. The spring semester has scored a group of twentyfseven staff members, the largest Fremont has known. The Patlafncler staff is composed of journalism II students and those of the Journalism T class who have received the highest grades, the editor being elected by popular vote each semester. Not only is the staff engaged in editing our own paper, but many of the members write for outside papers-such as the Extuniner, Herald, Times, and Express, School news is sent to six lo' cal papers, thus creating friendly inter' est between Fremont and the public. The newspaper men of Southern California are aiding the development of the high school newspaper by conf ventions and press days. During the last term Fremont has sent delegates to Southern California Newspaper Day, held at the University of Southern Calif fornia. Representatives have also jour' neyed to Long Beach and Huntington Park High Schools. In this way prob' lems confronting the average high school iournalists are discussed and solved, Let us, too. continue supporting our own high school newspaper, since it is of such vital importance in helping all the activities of Fremont. f33l

The group is making a mark in student body aifairs, not simply as a scholarship organization, but as a service unit. For the past few semesters, Scholastica has sponsored junior High Day, the time when the Junior High graduates are shown about the campus. A Scholarship Week was a feature of the fall term, at which period the entire Student Body was encouraged to make higher records in the classroom. With STO came the big banquet, which proved a huge success. The Scholastica Aud Call is an event looked forward to each semester, Mr. W. W. Tritt, assistant superintendent of schools, was the speaker for the fall term, while the ever humorous Goelfry Morgan spoke in March. At these assemblies those students who have been Scholastica members for twofthirds of their high school careers, including one senior term, were awarded their CSF. pins. Daisy Girardo, Claudia Rountree and Dora Smart of WHO, and May Gotts, Margaret Knapp, Nancy McKenna and Harold Magnuson of S30 were winners of the coveted pins. Others are expected to attain the honor at the end of the year.
