To assist him Hilda Robbins was elected vice-president; Harty Gwyn, treasurer; Mildred Moore, secretary. All class presidents work with the Student Body officers forming the Legislative Body which governs the school activities. Mr. H. C. Page is the sponsor of this group. The Legislative Body approves or vetoes the activities which the classes wish to sponsor. During this year the Legislative Body formulated the school’s first constitution setting forth the method to be used in electing officers, the duties of each, and the purpose and functions of this group.

CLASS REPRESENTATIVES Two representatives, a boy and a girl, lrom each class, make up the Represen¬ tative Body. The vice-president of the Legislative Body presides over the meeting of the Representatives. Mrs. H. C. Page has been the sponsor of this organization since its beginning in 1944-45. I he Representative Body is very important since all activities that each class wishes to accomplish have to be taken to the Represen¬ tative Body by the representatives from each class. These activities are then taken to the Legislative Body and approved. The two main projects of the Represen¬ tative Body for this year were the clean-up job around the high school and the framing of the class roll and officers. ■ vf-n ed l Pha Officers: Loray Callis, Vice-President; Mildred Moore, President; Betty Mac Miller, Secretary; Kappa Officers: Racheal Booker, Secretary; Elizabeth Corr, President; Roland Miller, Vice-president.

OR..TOO . .SMALL Sometimes it is the nature of a craft to create an unbreakable tie between itself and the worker in that field, a heart attachment equal to lifetime devotion. One familiar example is PRINTING. Once editor, once compositor, or press¬ man catches the spirit of the shop, the spell is seldom broken. Like the odor of a camp fire, or a whiff of salt air, the beloved tang of printer’s ink, symboli¬ cal of a great profession, gets into your heart and soul. School Annuals, Magazines, Newspapers and Special Printing, all smack of it. It is an invisible link that binds all intelligence together. It is the stimulus for creation in business or romance. This craftsmanship, this devotion to service and alert¬ ness to business needs, has nourished and developed an enormous industrial vitality, and whichever way the course of the future runs, the printer will always find himself able to adapt his helpfulness to new opportunity.
