Thursday evening, June 17, graduation exercises were held for the H9 graduates. One hundred sixty ' three pupils received certificates of promotion. This term our assembly programs were enjoyable and I am sure they have helped to promote good fe ' lowship among the pupils of both junior aud senior assembly groups. — Effie Simoneau STUDENT COURT urbank Court is now in session.” This is the introduction to an important ac- tivity, everv T uesday and Friday, ninth period. Court is supervised by our very able and fair judge, Mrs. Scales. The students carry on the rest of the work. During the past year, two hundred and thirty-three cases have passed through our hands. The usual cases are tried by the lower court. When a case becomes so im volved that it is not within the power of the lower court to handle it, it is passed to the Supreme Court over which Dr. Standley presides. Within the memory of the present officers only two Supreme Court cases have been tried. The members of the court are as follows; bailiff, George Keltner; assistant bailiff, Albert Hardie; secretary, Martha Collins; assistant secretary, Verna Boston; clerk, Stanley Bush; doorkeeper, Louis Lin ville; court officers, John Gambotto, Stanley Bond, Pauline Mignone, Jean Pedersen, and William Kari. At present some court changes are contemplated A trial jury of five persons will be appointed. It will be composed of low ten students. They will hear cases and render decisions. The graduate bailiff and secretary will alternate as judges to hear the cases. The object of these changes is to make the court more democratic and more like a real court. — Martha Collins OUTDOOR TRNEEJC O ur school has the largest number of traffic officers in the city of Berkeley. The lieutenant is Robert Drake and the sergeant is Joseph Chong. There are six squads. Each squad has six boys who go on duty before and after school and at noon. Four squads go on duty tor fifteen minutes each day, rain or shine. It is the duty of the lieutenant and the sergeant to see that the boys do their duty. Every boy works up in rank. He starts by holding a sign and gradually work up by being prompt, neat in appearance, and accurate in the dischage of his duties. Every Wednesday at the ninth period the traffic squads practice marching and have drilbdowns under the leadership of Mr. Lester, an officer from the University of California. He worked very hard to get us into shape for the review on May 28, 1937- Mr. Lester gave a party at Bertoli’s for the four boys who won the drilbdowns. They were James McCoy, Tony Magnetti, Theodore Poage, and Yoshakazu Ito All the traffic boys in Berkeley were invited to a bean feed given by the Dad’s Clubs and the women’s.

Both boys and girls can become members. Dr. Standley appointed our chief, Elmer Silva, and our captain, William Johnson. Mrs. Mac Gregor who is head commissioner, appointed six lieutenants to supervise the squads; Squad 1, Granuccia Amadei; Squad 2, Madeline O ' Neill; Squad 3, Donna Jeanne Slater; Squad 4, Leland Andersen; Squad 5, Norman Graham; Squad 6, Frank Cosner. All the officers were sworn in by a representative of the Berkeley Police Department. At the end of the term those who are leaving their posh tions will receive honorable discharges from the Berkeley Police Department. The lieutenants have officers stationed in halls, yard, cafeteria, and the science building. The officers carry tickets which they can give to pupils who refuse to obey school regulations. Tickets can be given by officers for misconduct in assembly, halls, street, or yard. The pupils who receive tickets must report at the next session of the Burbank Court. The organization meets once a week to discuss problems that arise in directing traffic, and to plan for improving the organization. The one rule adopted by the school this term is that all students who wish to serve on Outdoor Traffic Squads must give one term of service to the Indoor Traffic. The Berkeley Police Department has promised us a theatre party at the United Artist Theatre as a reward for the term ' s work. — Granuccia Amadei BNNB H ' ave you ever thought, as you saw the Bui bank Band march proudly down the street in their red and white uniforms, of the work behind such an organiza ' tion? The members of the band, besides individual practicing, practiced each Monday and Wednesday, ninth period, on such pieces as the “Bridal Rose” and “March Bur- bank”. Mr. Hobbs, the band leader, composed the “ ' March Burbank”.
