Town Hall Annual Report X Because of the fine record set last year in the sale of student body cards, the Student Association, led by Beatrice Wfinnikoff, treasurer, and Evelyn Barbieri, assistant treasurer, tried earnestly to make this term one to be long remembered. With this in mind, and the usual loyal support from the students, the spring '37 record- was broken, but not that of fall '37, However, out of an enrollment of 3206 students, 2535 cards were purchased, which was 68 more than the record set during President Sweeney's term. For the Hrst time in the history of Balboa, the high senior class was 100 per cerrt on the opening day of the drive. Taken up with new vigor this term were the prob- lems of smoking and clean-up. The Board called a student control rally, from which teachers were ex- eluded, and held an open discussion on school prob- lems. Several students voiced their opinions so strong- ly that two motions were passed from the stage, one to the effect that no detentions would be given for a week to any students seen smoking near the school, thereby placing them on their honor not to smoke. The response to this was surprising, no students were seen smoking during that week. The other amend- ment was that a person from the Board who was go- ing to report a smoker must first tell that individual that he was to be reported, so that there would be no argument as to the time and place where the offense was' committed. This student control rally made for a real feeling of democracy, and the idea met with great approval and enthusiasm by the students. In order to do away with smoking around the school, the Board, authorized by the adoption of a statute last term, raised the number of detentions from two on every offense to Hve on the first offense and in- creasing thereafter. Besides excellent cooperation from the students, Block B Societies and the Honor Society aided in the enforcement of these two cam- paigns. Under the supervision of Vice President Rose Port- man, many after-school dances were held. With the help of the Wallflowerf' Committee, the floor was much more crowded, and with the Blue Boys swing- ing outf' the dances proved to be successes. Student Court appointments found Tom Roberts filling the office of judge, Barbara Ceiley, associate judge, and Harry Mitchell, bailiff. The work of the court, under the direction of Miss Snell, was very encouraging. A special election was held to vote on certain amendments to the constitution which dealt with ways of bettering student government. To this list was added a new amendment which makes' it necessary for students to register before voting. Because of unfavorable weather, intra-mural sports were cancelled for the term, but will probably be re- sumed next semester under the direction of Coaches Clarke and Thomas. Three separate boys' and girls' assemblies brought such speakers as Nat Pieper, head of the San Fran- cisco branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, George Malley, U. S. F. football coach, Hank Lui- setti, star Stanford basketball player, Mrs. james E. Wales, student body vice presidents of all San Fran- cisco high schools, and Policewoman Kate Sullivan. At the beginning of the basketball and baseball seasons, athletic rallies, under the sponsorship of Coaches Mitchel and Hill, served to introduce the team members to the student body. Guest speakers from Lowell and George Washington High Schools appeared on the programsw Every Thursday during fourth and fifth periods, entertainment was provided for the students under the chairmanship of Jessie Miller. Due to efforts of Miss Pauly and Miss Silvia, ad- visors, the Board was relieved of financial problems, and was able to devote its time to the one main project of making everyone realize that Balboa High Sch0ol's government was truly democratic.
