For twenty-four weeks, McClymondsi governing group, the board of com- missioners, convened each Tuesday. wrestled with student political problems. handled financial matters, and sponsored social activities. For their term,s labor, the twelve student big-wigs garnered sixty service points apiece, the distinction of being the twenty-sixth and final student governing board of McClymonds, and a one-day picnic spree in San Francisco. Like the majority of their predecessors, the spring semester commis- sioners, chief aim was to establish co-ordination between their respective committees, keep student-body membership up to par, and help provide the juniors and seniors still at Mack with interesting socials. To this end the law-makers launched a student-body card drive, and dance; a day dedicated to sports on May 28; and a skating party held Friday evening, May 14. On June 1, the commissioners hied themselves off to Fleishacker Park in San Francisco for a farewell get-together. Seven of the board graduate. Five remain to Hirt with future politcal fame. Graduate commissioners are Student Body President Bob Morten; Sec- retary Frances Gluck; and commissioners Isabel Kielbasa, girlsi athletics'; Rose Nobla, welfare; Myrt Archer, publications; Stephen Bisbiglia, finance; and Yell Leader James Kane. Mrs. Eleanor Doherty, on the job since 1924, completed her thirteenth year as adviser to the McClymonds board of commissioners. Page Twenty
