STUDENT ORGANIZATION For government and leadership, the Student Organization uses the home-room setup as each home-room includes the same number of students and is a cross-section of the school. The fifty-two home-rooms elect officers, the presidents of the Hfty-two groups make up the school cabinet and the school body elects officers to represent the whole school from this group. The cabinet cooperates and in turn sends represen- tatives to the junior Civic League where representatives of all the schools of the city talk over student affairs. Officers as shown are: james Muehlenbeck, treasurer, George Michel, second semester secretary, Dorothy Geyer, first semester vice-president and second semester president, and Harris Taubeneck, second semester vice-president.

Principal Brock told the whole story in the advisory bulletin of Monday, May 18. The Ninth Annual Band Bounce played to more people than ever witnessed a high school pro- duction in the city of Saginaw. Not only did it establish an all time crowd record, but many people insist that it was the best performance to date. The three nights made heavy demands on the time, energy and patience of both teachers and students. They all deserve great praise for tasks well done, Already we are wondering how next year's Tenth anniversary Band Bounce is going to better this years performance. 9
