Publicity Yell leader Summer C'a6inet JOHN BARR DON DAVIES Highlights Highlights O As present conditions forced Beverly to be- come a school at war, the Norman student body willingly dedicated itself to the promotion of the war effort. Ever mindful of the shocking effects of war, Norman citizens came to the realization that, as prospective American citizens, it is their LINCOLN SHERANIAN duty to make democracy function in their school and show themselves that the democratic way is the successful way. Awakened to this responsibility of having an effective student democracy, Normandy set out to establish an improved, workable, and active student government, which was truly representative in solving the many problems facing our school. At first, lack of interest in student government and poor school pride hampered the success of such an ideal of student unity and government, but now at the close of my graduating year, l sincerely believe every Norman has come to realize that Beverly can only be as fine as he makes it. Normans, a spirit of unity and pride prevailed here at school that l shall never forget. In closing l acknowledge and thank a wonderful administration and faculty for their help and guidance. On behalf of the council and myself I thank also each and every Norman from the bottom of my heart for his willingness to cooperate, his friendliness, and undying patience. A student body president could ask no more! LINCOLN SHERANIAN I6 Y . .Y Y-.-..7.t.-,. .-, Y., , ..,..,.

Two major issues had to be dealt with and were handled excellently. The first of these issues was the lack of pride the students had for the school and its property. A great deal of damage was being done to the prop- erty unnecessarily, and something had to be done about it because all the money needed for the repairs had to come out of our school' funds, thus cut- ting down on school activities. The council launched a publicity campaign with speeches, editorials, and posters to attempt to discourage the vandals. The campaign was very successful. The second issue was equally as important. Because of the lackl of sports- manship on the part of the students at Beverly and Santa Monica High School, all athletic relations had to be severed. ln an attempt at reconciliation, a dele- gation of boys from Beverly and Santa Monica met to straighten out the affairs, and through their splendid efforts, athletic competition will be re- sumed again next year.
