Afterglow Commissioners . Overcoming administrative difficulties that arose from the splitting of the stu- dent body, due to existing housing con- ditions, the twelve members of the board of commissioners pulled together and and Ted VVoods, commissioner of social affairs' The most important job of the board this term was their work in putting the student body card drive over successfully and bringing the membership fund to standard. Mrs. Bernadette Skahans homeroom millinery class and Miss El- piloted the school through to a successful term in ship-shape condition. Six commissioners are leaving the Mc- Clyinonds board this semester. They are: Siggi Isaki, presidentg Peter Rusconi, vice-presidentg 'Ida tfatera, secretaryg joseph Davidson, yiell leaderg llonald Aabakken, commissioner of advertising! and Albert Symons, commissioner of publications. I Officers remaining and who were eli- gible to run for Spring term offices were: lessie VVoods, commissioner of programs and entertainments: Sybil Dorman, com- missioner of welfareg Grace iX'l'erry, commissioner of girls' athleticsg Sylvia Silva, commissioner of financeg Alfred jordan, commissioner of boys' athleticsg eanor .lensen's homeroom shorthand l class deadlocked for first place. The com- bined classes were treated to weinie', roasts on l,ake Merritt. The task of selling tickets for the Christmas lfrolicsf' held on the even- ings of December thirteenth and four- teenth in the Hoover junior High School auditorium, was shouldered by the twelve commissioners. A school calendar was kept by the secretary of the board so that clubs ask- ing dates to give frolics and parties did not conflict with other school activities. All twelve commissioners wish to ex- tend commendations to Mrs. lfleanor Doherty, commissioner advisor, for her untiring efforts and supervision of the board during the fall term.
