Sergent. THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT CLASS This year the Oxnard Union High School inaugurated the Student Government Class. This class was organized to meet a definite need of the Associated Student Body. The members of the class are the Student Body officers, the class presidents, and the presidents of the major clubs of the school. The purpose of the class is to teach parliamentary procedure and to act as the governing body of the student body. Meeting every day, the class can keep up with Student Body affairs and enact its role as the guiding hand of Student Body activities. Under the guidance of Mrs. Corinne Westervelt, Dean of Girls and Student Body Advisor, the class has advanced from a Well meaning group of students to a parliamentary-Wise assembly of student administrators. The class has accomplished much besides advancement. It has provided the Student Body with well planned assembly programs and dances and has done much to foster better student-faculty relations. The class also con- tributed greatly to the Santa Barbara-Ventura Inter-School Council survey on the Purposes of Education in California Schools. The Oxnard High School Student Government Class has been praised by students, teachers and administrators who have come in contact with it.

jlze ,giuclenf Counci The Student Council, composed of the presidents of the classes and two class representatives, club presidents, representatives from guidance classes and the Associated Student Body officers, discussed many important school events this year. One of its major accomplishments was the found- ing of the Boys' Federation. Bob Brown, President of the Senior Class, served as Chairman of the Committee to found the Boys' Federation. The Student Council of Oxnard High is a member of the Ventura- Santa Barbara Inter-School Council. We sent delegates to meetings of the V. S. B. I. S. C., and our Student Body President, Harry Nebenzahl was Vice-President of that body. Our A. S. B. Cheerleader, Bernie Nebenzahl, was elected Director of Athletics in the California Association of Student Councils this year. We considered this a great achievement because it was the first time a student from Oxnard was elected to a state office. The main purpose of the Student Council is to advise the President and his officers on all school affairs and problems. At the meetings, each club and class was given a chance to express its opinion and contributed ideas. The Vice-President of A. S. B., Barbara Billinger, acted as President of the Council. Patsy Wignall, our A. S. B. Secretary, acted as Secretary of the Council.
