E SPN Bob Ward-President This book carries the story of another year at Beverly. It is my privilege to express the gratitude of every student for the opportunities, friendships, traditions, and guidance offered us. The student council members have learned to work together. We have learned to forgive and to understand. We have learned the joy of helping others. No student body president could ask for any more cooperation from his fellow work- ers, faculty, and administration than I have been shown. Serving in this office has been the greatest experience I have ever had. We seniors enioy the realization that we do not leave Beverly entirely behind, but that we take precious memories with us forever. In return, we hope that we have contributed to the tradition and spirit that is Beverly's. We leave to the lower grades the challenge of keeping Beverly on top. With the patient help and guidance of the faculty, we can be sure it will be done.

WI llll IIAIII ll Sam Grossman-President As we leave Beverly and look back on the years past, we glance through these year- books in order to refresh some of our most pleasant memories. Although we began to shape our lives from our very first freshman days, it is our senior year that is most remembered, not only because it is our last, but because it is usually our most active. There could be no better place than Beverly in which we can begin to shape our future. Here we find true friendship, sincerity, fellowship, and sportsmanship. During my term of office I worked with practically every student at Beverly, through clubs or other proiects. Always I found among the students a strong school spirit and a feeling of unity, as I also did among the other Bay League schools. Being student body president of Beverly and being able to serve you has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I shall never forget this office or the people who gave their valuable time to help make my term a successful one.

WI llll llllll llll Commencing the semester beginning on September 11, 1946, this year's Winter Coun- cil was led by Sam Grossman, student body president. The first Bay League Forum, which was held at Beverly Hills High School, brought up such suggestions as exchange assem- blies and club and class functions. Future business was proposed for the next meeting, which was called at El Segundo High School some ten weeks later. Members attending the first forum were Sam Grossman, Mary Downs, and Ginny Jones, representatives of Beverly Hills, while Duvall Hecht and Bill Lusk represented Beverly at the second meeting. An amendment to the Constitution, that the presidents of the Girls' and Boys' Leagues be included in the Student Council beginning September, 1947, was proposed by this group. The student budget was made up by Mr. K. C. Mitchell, Sam Grossman, and John Suckling and was approved by the council, while the constitution of a new club, the Bev- erly Hills High Dramatic Workshop, was submitted to the council and approved by the students. Mr. R. G. Mitchell addressed the council and explained the idea of compensating those teachers who directed extra curricular activities. Mr. Mitchell requested that the coun- cil send a letter to the Board of Education in regard to this suggestion. Members of the Winter Council included Sam Grossman, president, Mary Downs, vice-president, Ginny Jones, commissioner of records, John Suckling, commissioner of fi- nance, Pattie Hine, commissioner of publicity, Marilyn Lindsay, editor of the Highlights.
