i 1 BCARD CF COMMISSIONERS Among the many innovations introduced to simplify our selffgovernment system since its inauguration in 1924 is the Board of Commissioners, which meets weekly to discuss matters concerning government in the school and to make new plans. This board, presided over by the Selffgovernment president, is composed of the Halls and Grounds commissioners, Traihc Captain, Fire chief, Boys' judge, Head usher and House manager. The reason for forming this Board, as jack Albin, S'32 Hall Com- missioner, puts it, is that eight heads are better than one. Under the sponsorship of Doc Skinner, this governing group was headed in W'33 by Phil Neff and S'33 by Carl Arnold. PREP HIfY Rome was not built in a day, neither do students became school leaders overnight. They must work themselves up and the best way to do this is to get into organizations and societies. The outstanding society for lower classmen is the Prep HifY. Twenty boys are chosen on ballot each semester by the members of the club together with the approval of the office. To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the highest standards of Christian character, is the ideal of this club. The Prep HifY which was organized at Fremont five years ago is sponsored by Mr. Bauer. Its presidents for W'33 and S713 were Wey Shue and Jerome Dufour respectively. I25I
