JIM SUTHERLAND . Sergeant-at-Arms , . . .EUGENE ABBOTT The Administrative Board is probably the hardest working body in the school. It con- sists of two representatives from each class, six representatives-at-large, and the Student Body oflicers. It is the legislative body of the school empowered to make all necessary rules for run- ning the student government. The board also handles all business not otherwise taken care of by the Student Body oflicers. The Board elects a Speaker and the other officers they deem necessary. The Administrative Board, in fulfilling its duties, takes care of all the money matters of the Student Body and votes on all revisions of the budget as proposed by the Financial Secretary. The Board also provides for the good and welfare of the Student Body. Under this heading, Circus Day, dansants, and other activities are sponsored. The meetings are peppy and interestingg discussions are spirited and helpful. All students have benefited through the efforts of this Board. 12 -Jim Sutherland.

Yell Leader JOHN KENNY The administration of the Spring term of 1940 launched itself with the same aims and ambitions as have been held by every other administration, and a few new ones of its own. It was our desire to have better entertainment at student meetings, promote more school spirit, sell more student cards, and to create bigger and better student activities. In a large part we feel we have succeeded. The best entertainment we could com- mand has filled the programs at our student meetings. We have organized a Men's Asso- ciation, which has, as one of its outstanding functions, the promotion of school spirit, and the continuance of the Oak Leaf can be put down as a definite accomplishment. When school opens again in the fall, and you are once more attending football games, you will find, prominently displayed, the electric scoreboard so long promised to us. This we also helped to bring about. Another achievement of this administration is the establishment of a student talent file in which are to be found the names and advisors of every student in school who has something to offer in the way of good entertainment. There is also a file giving the names, phone numbers, and addresses of all the merchants and business men in Alameda. These are the things that we, the administration of the Spring term of 1940, are proud to have sponsored. EQTHER ARMITTE JOHN D012 CALKINS KIMBROUGH COLE MICLEOD
