During the year the group sponsored two assemblies, one dealing with wrestling and the other introducing Johnny Baker, football coach of the Los Angeles Dons. A cleanup campaign was held during the second semester. The Boys' League cabinet ioined with the Alphas, Knights, Squires, and Girls' League cabinets to put over this cam- paign, and each group patrolled the lunch patio one day a week. The results of this drive were very successful. Although in the summer semester it was difficult for the cabinet to obtain dates for activities, several tentative dates were made for the fall semester. Officers for the first term were Sandy MacKinnon, president, Craig Nason, vice-presi- dent, David Willardson, secretary, Buzz Talmadge, treasurer, and Herb Buswell, commis- sioner of Boys' Athletics. For the summer semester Dewey Hecht was president, Dick Wil- liams, vice-president, Wayne Knickmeyer, secretary, John Brame, treasurer, and Tom Jones, commissioner of Boys' Athletics. Mr. William C. Doc Morrison sponsors the group. 'I7

N2 it ,ff jfsv gg ,L GIRLS' lllllllli Under the fine leadership of Margaret Cameron and Jan Butler, the Girls' League com- pleted numerous successful proiects this year. The semester began with a Big and Little Sister Party that was quite different. Be- sides the traditional introductions by the cabinet and talent program, prizes were given to various freshmen, and every girl had a chance to participate in events. An unexpected sum of S150 was raised for the Albion Street Drive. Bob Ward por- trayed a realistic Santa Claus when he and the cabinet went to give the students their Christmas party. For the first time in the history of Beverly, Girls' Day was held. Members of Girls' League cabinets from seven schools visited Normandy on that day. Officers for the winter semester were Margaret Cameron, president, Jan Butler, vice- president, Katie Hartman, secretary, and Barbara Terman, treasurer. Taking over for the summer semester were Jan Butler, president, Katie Hartman, vice-president, Suzy Tan- nenbaum, secretary, and Marilyn Lindsay, treasurer. Mrs. Leah K. Moore and Miss Jane McClure are sponsors of this group. 'I6

Sllllll 1 lllllllll With better student government as its aim, the Student Court this year again lived up to its fine purposes. During the winter semester, the Court was headed by Bob Ward and Marlo Jarman. Associate iustices were Sandy Bothman, Lucky O'Keefe, and Betty Santley, seniors, and Herb Buswell, Denny Morrow, Lianne Schroeder, and Bill Storum, juniors. At the beginning of the summer semester, Sandy Bothman took over the post of chief iustice and was assisted by Marlo Jarman, Ann Reiss, and Alan Sieroty, seniors, and Marilyn Bor- den, Herb Buswell, Denny Morrow, Lianne Schroeder, and Bill Storum, iuniors. When asked the principles of the Court, Chief Justice Sandy Bothman replied, We try to deal fairly with everyone in accordance with the Norman Plan upon which the Court is based. Student Court has a simple but definite procedure. The obiect is to fix a penalty for a student offense, depending upon the severity and intent of the offense. Each student is pro- vided with forty points at the beginning of the semester, according to the Norman Plan. When a pupil loses twenty points, his name is placed upon the lost privilege list. This means that the student must relinquish the privilege of attending assemblies. lf he loses ten more points, the student is on the restricted list, whereupon he must forego the right of running for school offices, participating on athletic teams, and taking a part in school activities, such as, Highlights, radio, debate, theatrical productions, and school clubs. If a student should lose the remaining ten points, he is referred to the principal for suspension. Mr. K. C. Mitchell, dean of boys, and Mrs. Leah K. Moore, dean of girls, serve as clerks for the court. Student Court meets every Thursday at 3:15 in Room 301. Students are encouraged to attend sessions of the Court. 18
