Student Body Under the effective guidance of lohn Gilman, Student Body president, Dick Reedy, vice-president, and Pauline Sue Russell, secretary, the Student Body organization of Bonita has had a very successful year. Interesting and instructive assembly programs, a Stunt Nite that was most entertaining and that resulted in the raising of a substantial sum of money, and a continued adherence to Bonita ideals marked a well-rounded program of activity for the organization, Stories of travel and adventure were brought to the Student Body by Mr. Brydon, who had spent the summer in the Orient, by alumnus Clement Lapp, who had been in China for more than a year, and who escaped during the Iapanese bombardment of Chinese coast cities, and by Captain Welch, de- scribed as a soldier of fortune, who told of his experiences as an aviator in Spain. Carl Wright told of his adventures in Europe with college students of other countries, and Charles Sheldon and ct friend, who drove to the tip of Lower California and back, showed fascinating color-movies of their trip. lnspirational talks were given by lerry Voorhis, who discussed How Government Works in an outstandingly interesting address, Mr. Butters, of the La Verne Methodist Church, Mr. Velasco, pastor of the Spanish Presbyterian Church of La Verne, Dr. Kurtz, of the Brethren Church, Mr. Randall, of the Pomona American Legion, Ray Breg, of Allied Youth, and Dr. Walton, who talked about marijuana and tobacco. Demonstrations that proved especially interesting were given by Mr. Iames Williams, on liquid air, Mr. Swallow, on statosphere balloons, Mr. Raymond, on snakes, and Mr. Splinter, on electricty. The entertainment was much apprec- iated by weary students, and it was of quite a high order, with lack Rank, the one-man show, who gave a program of Shakespearean interpretations, Mr. Foxwells, a clever magician, who made ducks disappear, and money appear in very strange places, several W.P.A. bands, and a number of movies, some entertaining, and some instructive.

They are alw on hand to do anything for you but your l attend cl Grounds Staff ays essons. When a teacher is unable to ass you will see a member of this staff there t d' VVith an absence of one o irect the operations year, Mrs. Clara Mae Gillette returned to lend her ser- vices to this staff. Boy Stokes, an alumnus of Bonita, may also be seen answer- ing questions and signing absence slips at various times. How many times have Miss Hazel Snoke and Miss Margaret Metzger aided you in innumerable ways? A smooth running Office Staff leads to a smooth running Bonita. The work of the Ground Superintendents has been more prominent this year than any other year in the history of Bonita. Hundreds of shrubs, flower- ing trees, cut flowers and new lawns have been set out, fitting in beautifully with the landscaping of our new buildings. Much work has been done, both inside and outside the buildings to preserve the beauty of our new buildings. The cleanliness of our buildings depends upon the efforts of this staff. The clean mowed lawns, and many of the freshly cut flowers on your teacher's desks are due to the function of this staff. Top honors should go to Mr. Quiroz, Mr. White, Mr. Taylor, Bob Marshall and Ieff Banthrum.
