It is under the advisement of faculty sponsors. The duty of this Committee is to provide the Student Body with two assemblies each week. If an opinion can be formed by the character of this semester's assemblies, this Committee is functioning very successfully. Athletics are an important consideration of the Board of Commissioners. Our teams must receive their equipment through the Boardg and the goal of every athf lete's ambition, his letter, must also be awarded with the consent of the Commisf sioners. And so, the Commission is continuing to function efficiently more and more firmly after its third year of existence, and, as ever, is endeavoring to establish the precepts of loyalty, sportsmanship, and school spirit at Beverly Hills High School. l13l

Money for seeds, plants, and trees must be appropriated. Articles such as curtains and furniture, which are important factors in making our school a pleasant place in which to work, must be purchased. The Board of Commissioners must meet its problems. It must use sound judgment in its distribution of funds, for it has the sole power of appropriatf ing the earnings of our Student Body. As Beverly High grows older, traditions are formed and new policies suggested. It is the duty of the Board of Commissioners to approve and adopt these traditions and policies and to foster and promote them. The Commissioners are under the direct authority of the Student Body and are responsible to the Student Council. They must deal with the problems of this organif zation. The most important work to come under this head this year was the formation of a Committee on Assemblies. fm

Working with the various patrol committees, without receiving an undesirable reputation, they have kept the continual offenders in the minority by referring them to the Knights after three assigned offences. Only through D the ambitious eforts of the justices and their associates has such a splendid record been achieved. The offenders name is placed in the bulletin with a request that he immediately report to the courtroom. On arriving at the anteroom, he awaits his turn to appear in court. Cnce in the courtroom, the strictest seriousness is asked for. His charge is read, he pleads guilty or not guilty, is cautioned by the judge, and is given a permit to his next class. A remarkable number of cases are taken care of in this manner. Usually, if it is the first court appearance the boy has made, he is told the general rule of the school and sentence is suspended. A case upon which the Justice feels the opinf ion of several boys would be advantageous is usually referred to the Associates, the Clerk, and Court Attorney for their ruling. Thus is a day in court.
