STUDENT COUNCIL SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The Student Council, composed of the student body presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, appointed commissioners, ad- visory presidents, and two faculty advisors, is the governing body of the school. It handles all business concerning the student body. All meetings are held in parliamentary fash- ion, headed by the President. The faculty advisors, Mr. McClellan and Mr. Sitkin, and the president, make the final decisions. Pete Herb. The Scholarship Society at Willard is an organization to which anyone may belong. Its purpose is to stimulate better scholarship among the students. To belong to this, one must have an average of 2.00 to 2.49 to make the good honor roll, and 2.50 to 3.00 to be eligible for the Superior group, and a citizenship grade of at least a B. The highest scholarship honor given at Willard is the Gold " W, " which is given to students of the Superior group who have been in the Scholarship Society through the L-7, H-7, L-8, H-8, and L-9. There is another honor, the Privilege Card, which is given at the end of the L-9. This entitles the bearer to special privileges. There are 182 members in the Scholar- ship Society. Twelve Gold " W ' s " were awarded this semes- ter, and 26 Privilege Cards. Bunny Estes.

STUDENT CONTROL STUDENT COURT The Willard Student Control, consisting of 86 officers and 11 ranking officers, is one of the most important organizations in the Willard School government. The Student Control officers control the flow of traffic be- tween periods and at lunch time, while the Junior Traffic Police officers control the flow of traffic on the streets, and the Bike Lot officers keep order in the bike lot. To get on the Student Control, you must be in the upper division and have a citizenship grade of not less than a " B " in all subject courses taken. With the help and cooperation of Mr. McClellan, our prin- cipal, Mr. Burke, our advisor, and the faculty, we have had a very successful year. I am sure that with their help the Student Control officers in the future will also be able to help greatly in the operation of our student government. I would like to thank the following officers for their help during the past semester: Captain, Jeffery Green; Traffic Lieutenant, Richie Langfield; Lieutenant, Peter Scott; Ser- geants: Harry Chandler, Ronald Uyeyama, Don Crawford, Bill Vaughn, Bill Marsh, George Hirota, Bob Berela. Bill Sung, Chief. The purpose of the court is to try pupils who are issued tickets by the Student Control officers for breaking the Stu- dent Control rules. The sentences given to the pupils for breaking these rules are not entirely intended as punishment, but rather to try to help them follow and obey the rules for the best interests of all students. All cases are heard and judged as impartially as possible. All defendants are given an opportunity to enter a plea, of either guilty or not guilty, at the time of their appearance in court. Sentences differ according to the seriousness of the offense. During the past year we have handled approximately 300 tickets that were given out by the Student Control officers. The judges also serve on the Berkeley Bicycle Court at the Hall of Justice on Saturday mornings. The court is made up of Mr. Burke, our sponsor; associate judges Larry Barclay, Ann Ruggeri, and Sally Lidstone; bailiff, Billy Sung; desk clerks, Myrtis Jamerson and Ann Roper; and sergeants, Kate Bermel, Carole Ovelton and Carolyn Marks. Bob Armerding, Chief Justice. 14

GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB This year has been an interesting one for the Girls ' Glee Club under the excellent leadership of Miss Bonney. There are 80 members and we have had lots of fun. We worked on Christmas songs in the fall term and sang for two programs. Robin Rich was president at that time. This semester we have worked on songs for the Spring Concert. We sang a new lullaby with a violin obbligato by Barbara Johnson, a beautiful sacred number, " The Twenty- Third Psalm, " and a Czechoslovakian folksong. Lucy Ratcliff and Susan Dunlap have assisted me as offi- cers this term. Barbara Yates, President. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB The Boys ' Glee Club has just completed another very suc- cessful year under the superb direction of Mrs. Edna Kellogg. Our organization, one of the most popular in the school, sang selections at the P.T.A. Christmas Program and the Student Body Christmas Assembly last fall. In the spring, we partici- p ated in the annual Spring Concert. Upon leaving the Glee Club, I would like to thank all the members for their wonderful cooperation, especially my fellow officers, Pete Scott and Harry Chandler, and the rest of the graduating High-Nines. Pete Herb. 16
