Larsen, social science teacher. The chief officers are: Bob Mclnnis, who has charge of checking lower flogrg Alfred Milton in charge of noon duties, and the writer who has charge of roll call and 'upper floor. The duties of this organization are to maintain order and discipline both in the halls and on the school ground and to help enforce certain school regulations. The body is divided in to three unitsg namely, the hall patrolmen, the noon pa- trolmen, and the playground patrolmen. The duties of a hall patrolmen are direc- tion of traffic, and maintenance of order in the halls. The noon division is primarily to see that the school regulation pertaining to permits for leaving the school ground is en- forced, while the playground divihspolis ne the teachers to enforce the observance of playground rules and regulations. An individual patrolman is in a position to derive much valuable training and execu- tive experience by the proper discharge of his duties. In order to derive these benefits properly, he must be firm, but fair and impartial. Personal feelings or animosity must not enter into the situation. In this way he is building his own character along the proper lines and is imparting to others, by his example, a feeling of respect and confidence. The student body as a whole is benefited by the patrol organization in the inculca- tion of the idea of self-government. Pupils as individuals and as a body are thus learn- ing the fundemental principles of American government, that is, observance and re- spect for law and order. Barbara Moffett. Pug: Hiuy.on

C-.QM Scholavsltip E OUR Scholarship Society has just com- pleted one of the most successful years in the history of the society.More interest than ever before has been shown by the students, and the membership has increas- ed accordingly. Hamilton is a member of the new Junior High Scholarship Federation which was formed by the Junior Highs of long Beach in an effort to standardize the system of grading, and, in compliance with the new rules, the old system in our school has been abandoned and the Federation systemadopt- ed. This new system is more severe, and as a result the membership dropped during the first semester, but it has again climbed for the second semester, although in the opinion of the sponsors, it is not yet as high as it ought to be. Only 6 1-2 percent of the total student body of Hamilton is repre- sented in Scholarship while we should have at least 10 percent. In an effortto keep Scholarship constant- ly before the students and to arouse more enthusiasm among them, several assem- blies have been given this year. For these same purposes representatives to Scholar- ship have been elected for each section and these representatives keep their sections in- formed with matters pertaining to Scholar- ship. Under the Federation rules a student who has been a member of Scholarship for three semesters is entitled to wear the Federation pin. This is quite an honor and a student who wears one of these pins will find that it helps him greatly, in more ways than one, when he enters High School. A Scholarship panel, which hangs outside the Library door, and which contains the names of the Scholarship members, has amused a great deal of favorable comment, especially among the new-comers to the school. It is changed at the end of each semester and the names of new member are added. Each time that a student eu- ceeds in making Scholarship, after his name has once been placed on the panel, a mark is added after it, and in this way the student can keep track of his progress. Scholarship has a social side, too. At the end of each semester a party ora banquet is given, which is attended by members of Continued on Page 47 Pun Tlirly
