Berkeley High has long functioned through the self-government of the students. That self-government is an invaluable privilege, for it teaches youth the making of democracy. The central body of our school government is the Board of Control, which represents the student body at large, the individual classes, and other major organizations of the school. The class councils manage the activities of the classes, the Rally Committee keeps law and order, or some semblance thereof, among the students, the Girls' Association and its class councils concern themselves with the activities of the girls, and the Senior Friends lend helping hands to all students new to the school. These and many other organizations constitute that effective self-government of which the students of Berkeley High can justly be proud. STUDENT GOVERNMENT

A Message from Our President This spring at Berkeley High has been one of the most successful terms we have ever known. To start the ball rolling our student body responded wholeheartedly to card sales, which hit an all-time high for a spring term with 2405 cards sold, 96.8% membership. Then came the Pod drive and Red Cross campaign, both of which went over the top. In fact, we doubled the amount ever before given to the Red Cross. Although not all of our teams were ACAL champs, the students stood back of them all the way. The clean-up campaign and all the other student activities were successful because everyone was interested and cooperated to the fullest extent. When a student body as large and as representative of America as ours can work together as we have, it proves that student government is effective and practical. We are experiencing hard times, and the going will be even tougher before the peace is won. But we are lucky that we have been spared the horrors of war and have been able to go to school and to practice self-government. In high school we have learned to think clearly and to be tolerant and fair to our fellows. We have learned to work together, and because of this, the rest of the world is looking to our generation for help; to us comes the challenge to build a better world with a lasting peace.
