0 e nment Y Under the superb leadership of Student Body President Wayne Hawkins, the fall senate performed many worthwhile serv- ices which benefited Roosevelt High School and the community as well. During the first semester a seven minute break between classes was established which not only reduced the amount of tardiness but also gave RHS students one extra minute to get to class. Besides this the senate also started the early dismissal program whereas one building was dismissed ten minutes early every other week for lunch. They then decided to have the high- lights and events of the school year recorded on tape which will be a proiect for next year's fall senate. They sent the senior choir to Berkeley for the fall music festivalg had the sun dial, which was a gift of the class of l933, restoredg appropriated the money to buy 700 banquet dishes for the cafe- teriag were responsible for our fine as- sembliesg and after talking to the City Safety Commission made arrangements to have parallel parking lines painted in front of the school. -Q ti.

' 1 GOVERNMENT Despite the rumor, l do not have ink in my veins, although after writing Nauti- lus copy all year l sometimes begin to wonder. Anyway, l'm Sheila Stone and as Nautilus literary editor l've got a real iob 'taking care of the type and printer's ink department of the yearbook. Since each page in the Nautilus has a certain amount of print on it, my iob along with that of my staff includes writing over 30,000 words. ln addition to supervising my staff's journalistic endeavors, l, along with Mr. Fop, will attempt to guide you through the phases of Roosevelt's student government. Mr. Fop! Will you settle down and be- have? The fellow with the gavel over there is likely to apply it to your head if you don't wise up a little. The Roosevelt senate, consisting of elected officers and organizational heads, plus the house of representatives, com- posed of advisory members, are the two main bodies where legislation and ideas for Roosevelt's activities are born. The twice yearly elections complete with nomi- nations, registered voting, and election boards, make soap-box time even more realistic and educational. Student government means more than elections and voting . . . it is the founda- tion on which democracy and citizenship are built and the basis for tomorrow's adult thinking. action I .qv 5,11 ' x Q I Q g.
