Speakers ' Bureau HI-LITES LEFT TO RIGHT: Allen Kent, John C. Lewis, Doug Jones, Gary Messinger. Contests, sales pitches, radio, and panel discussions . . . and 65 students make up what is commonly known as our Speaker ' s Bureau. The term started off with a bang as the students went to homerooms and classes to advocate the sales of student body cards and Pods. They also made an appeal for the Red Cross and persuaded people to attend the Senior Play. The first students to represent BHS outside the school were Sally Hunt and Steve Stripp who spoke to the United Veterans Council on Lincoln and Washington respectively. Robin Milczewski, Elizabeth Higgs, Garth Burns, and Harry McCalla represented BHS in the Lions Club student speaker contest. The topic was People to People; Key to World Understanding, and the local winner was Elizabeth Higgs. Mark Duggan, Sheridan Hill, Al Kent, and Estelle Zanders formed a panel and discussed socioeconomic conditions in Berkeley for a group of new teachers at the University of California. Upon her return from the Sguaw Valley trip, Tina Loney spoke on the trip itself at a meeting of the Tyros at the YWCA. As an appeal for the Red Cross, 7 speakers represented BHS at service clubs and PTA meetings. They were Fred Bachmann, Gail Hildebrand, Elaine Judah, Martin Hakahara, Jean Oki, Steve Stripp, and John Woodward. The American Legion speakers were Bill Barker, Irene Lieban, and Victor Chow. Speakers to enter ihe Negro Elks Scholarship contest will be Lynn Farris, Elizabeth Higgs, Harry McCalla, and Estelle Zanders. And we must not forget the group who worked all term on the weekly, fifteen-minute, radio program Hi-lites on KRE (1400). The staff consisted of Doug Jones, editor; Al Kent, newscaster; John Lewis and Gary Messinger, staff members; George Craig, engineer; and Bill Barker, roving reporter. IRENE LIEBAN, Secretary MR.

Honor Society SPECIAL PRIVILEGE SEALBEARERS Dianne Lord, Susan Bettelhelm, Anne Richardson, Kristine Guionso, Bill Rentz, Benette Kuper, Diana Loeb, Melissa Foster, Peter Wehausen, Roberl Mathieson, Cynthia Smith, Dean Morgan, Roger Chickering, Bruce Wonder, Steve Johnson. Honor Society laid its emphasis on two major fields of activities this semester: that of maintaining the excellent scholastic record of BHS, and that of stimulating intellectual activities in the student body as a whole. Beside the success- ful annual outing in Golden Gate Park, Honor Society spon- sored a college conference which enabled students to meet representatives from various colleges, and began a collection of college catalogues for general use. My hearty thanks go to vice president Larry Revzan, to the secretary-treasurer, Ginger Henderson; to board mem- bers Katie Wuertele and Ruth Bentley, and to Hatcheck chairman Vickie Hodges for their cooperation and hard work. Without the advice, support and energy of the sponsors: Miss Repetto, Mr. Wenrich, Mr. Daoust, Honor Society would never have achieved as it did this term. The opportunity to serve you as Honor Society president has proved to be a rewarding and enlightening experience for which I am truly grateful. NAOMI LOWINSKY C.S.F. As this term ' s Pod goes to press, most C.S.F. activities are still in the planning stage. This semester we hope to be able to break away from routine matters and establish new func- tions for our organization. Due to the success of last semester ' s College Conference, the C.S.F. hopes to sponsor a second conference to deal solely with the University of California. Also, an informal Honor Society-C.S.F. panel will be established to discuss the problem of choosing one ' s college. The experiences of those who have already done so should be an invaluable aid to those who have not. As usual, the C.S.F. is confronted by financial problems which regular concessions are unable to meet. To fill this need, its officers are attempting to establish a short series of academic contests. Even if these fail, we hope to have set a precedent for next semester. Thanks are due to Benette Kuper and Ruthie Richards, and especially to our mentor, Mr. Wenrich. Above all, I am grateful to the C.S.F. as a whole for having given me the enlightening experience of serving as this semester ' s president. andrew Mcdonald Ju lie Land, Hiro SEALBEARERS Imamura Pat Bonnar, McDonald.
