, First Semester .,,, g filden t Court At the conclusion of a year of unprecedented activity the Student Court was easily the most talked about feature of student government at Beverly. Inevitable criticism notwithstand- ing, there was no one to question the diH5culty of the job that this board faced or the com- mendable attitude of every student justice. Serving as chief justice through both semesters, Bob Ewing became proficient in handling knotty problems of jurisprudence and was a steadying influence to the court. Fred Lee and Mariellen Smith, graduates of the winter class, were replaced at the turn of the semester by Carolyn Pickens and Sanford Bothman, who, while newcomers, were among the most active members of the court. The remaining six justices-seniors Jim Griffin and Les Liscom, juniors Bob VVard, Marlo Jarman, Lucky O'Keefe, and Betty Santley-served throughout the year. The Court operated as usual under the guidance of Mrs. Leah Moore, Dean of Girls, and lNlr. K. C. Mitchell, Dean of Boys. As the jurisdiction of the court was widened to include practically all forms of student violations, the board found itself called upon to deliver a tre-- mendously increased number of decisions and, at the same time, to decide on matters which were of vital interest to every Norman. The Student Court has proved itself to the extent that no student at Beverly denies that it serves his own best interests. Second Semester V 4731 W U 0 f, ff W -'se---M-...,.,,f-le-N..

Key Zeague As its initial effort in a thoroughly successful year, the Boys' League sponsored an assembly designed to acquaint Normans with conditions in war-torn countries, at which Lieutenant James Stewart of the Navy, S 936, just returned from many months' service overseas, spoke. Next on the lineup of activities came the senior A-senior B basketball game, which, though played on the swim gym floor, proved a strange version of the cage sport, however the fracas was well-received by the student body. The Boys, League terminated its activities for the fall semester with the semi-annual boxing-wrestling assembly, a source of great interest to every boy. The return of noon music under the sponsorship of the Boys, League was the feature of the leagueis activities during the spring semester.Revival of these programs was made possible by the waris end, since the chief objection to them had been the disturbance to war workers in the surrounding neighborhood who were obliged to seek rest during the day. Two sports projects were promoted by the Boys' League, both of which proved highly successful. The traditional senior A-faculty baseball game and a boxing assembly comprised the events.
