POIfll fllllflRD - STUD£ 11T COURT Fewer cases came before the Student Court this year than ever before, bearing out the principle on which it was founded—that it would diminish student offenses. None of the cases tried were of a serious nature but con' sisted of rowdyism, speeding, and smoking on the school grounds. Those who served on the court are Don Reynolds (first semester chairman), Susan Atkinson (secretary), Bill Roth (second semester chairman), Dun- can McLeod, and Bill Johnston. In the second semester Henry Norberg and Miles Metzger replaced Don Reynolds and Bill Johnston, whose terms had expired at that time. Mr. Shippy, as faculty adviser, performed his duties beyond reproof. Working under the handicap of being continually moved from one office to another, the Point Award Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Leona H. McCully, faculty adviser, has indeed done admirably. Those who have kept the points in order so successfully the past year were Doris Willi, chair' man; Susan Norris, secretary; Ben Olson, Betty Tomson, and Louis Brett. The point award was originally established as a means of encouraging all pupils to take part in extra-curricular activities, and to serve as a medium for recognition of leadership, responsibility, service, and citizenship.

David Patterson Shirley Ewing Wesley Hillendahl SCHOLARSHIP S 0 CI £ T y Diversified social activities and the attending of numerous scholastic con' vent ions summarise the year’s activity for Palo Alto’s Chapter Three of the California Scholarship Federation. The first social event of the year, en- joyed by a large representation of this group, was a theatre party, after which there was a 1'midnight snack” at a member’s home. In the spring, the club journeyed to Hayward, where a picnic, with the playing of games and frolicking in the woods, was held at the vice-president’s home. In the course of the year, the society was represented at three conferences. The first, featuring bus trips of the hills of Berkeley, was held across the bay at the St. Joseph’s Presentations Academy. Held within close proximity, the second convention was at Oakland Technical High School, where students visited the Clipper Base at Alameda in the afternoon. The third and last, a regional convention, was held at San Mateo. It was at this one that Don Reynolds acted as treasurer, having been elected last year at the conference held at Watsonville. The officers of the society the past year have capably filled their posts. Shirley Ewing was president, assisted by David Patterson, vice-president. Wesley Hillendahl was secretary-treasurer, with Miss Cramer acting as faculty sponsor.
