.fx-. 'WETIB ' ,fu l.. , H.. W Vi-fm STUDENT BODY GOVERNMENT Until january 12, 1928, the Beverly Hills High School had no student government. The rules and their enforcement had come directly from the office, but on that day the faculty was relieved of the task of overseeing student welfare, for the school unanif mously voted to adopt the Constitution drawn up by a committee headed by Fred Kuypers and sponsored by Miss Darsie. The Constitution submitted by the committee has been declared by many to be the finest of its kind in the Southland. It invests the legislative and executive powers in fourteen commissioners of whom all but two are elected by the students. There is the Student Body Council which consists of two representatives from each homeroom. Its purpose is to secure the cofoperation of the student body and to form a link between the students and the Board of Commissioners. There are also the Boys' and the Girls' Courts. The officers of the Boys' League and three associate judges fo-rm the Boys' Court, while the Girls' Court is made up of the Commissioner of Girls' Welfare and six associate justices. The Student Body has the power of initiative and referendum and of recall of all oilicers. T181

As the school has many extrafcurricular activities, practically every teacher is either sponsor of a club or of a publication, or a director of some sport. There has fallen to the present teachers a more difficult task in laying the foundaf tions of this institution than will come to their successors, whose duty it will be to build upon them. In devoting an abundance of time to this purpose, they have done it with a spirit that has pervaded the whole organization. Therefore, to the faculty, the school renders its thanks and vvholefhearted support for the coming years. i17l
