OUTDOOR TRAFFIC ■ he Junior Traffic Police is organised for the purpose of training boys in leadership and for assisting the police department in safeguarding school children. There are five squads. Each squad has six boys, who go on duty before and after school and during the noon hour. Three squads go on during the lunch period, each squad serving twenty minutes, rain or shine, to keep the regulation of the Safety Council. It’s the lieutenant’s and sergeants’ duty to see that the boys do their job. This term the city police department furnished us with rain-coats and hats. Every Wednesday during the ninth period the traffic squads practice marching and have a drill-down under the direction of Officer Simpson of the Berkeley Police Department. He works very hard to get us into fine shape for the review in January. Privileges are granted to the officers and for their service, such as theater passes, and being guests of many football games held in the Memorial Stadium. Officers this term were: Lieutenant; Peter Flammang, Sergeants: Yoshikazu Ito, Theodore Poage. Corporals: Kenneth Geary; Roy Biagi, Lloyd Harris, William Wagner, Donald Labrie, Louie Rampone. Privates: Dave West, Ichiro Sasaki, Hubert Ross, Aga- pito Noreiaga, Charles Brown, John Aimaral. Tadao Takayanagi, Wilford Nethercott, Richard Rosenquist, Emile Wordack, Manuel Briseno. Edmond Hempil, Milton Lewis, loseph Pardini, Clyde Jennings, John Gians, David Silva, Jimmy Vieira, Francis Vierra, Jerry Pulley, Jack Labrie, Jack Mede, Tony D’Oliveria, Herman Wrede, Edward Fish- er, Vincent Mattioda. The Outdoor Traffic Officers are sponsored by Mr. Carlsen, phy- sical education teacher. — Yoshikazu Ito IHjDQQR. TRdTFIC he indoor traffic system is the means by which Burbank students help to keep order in the halls and yard. The organization consists of a chief, a captain, lieu- tenants and six squads. The chief is William Johnson, the captain is David Mohr, and the lieutenants are EvelynMeska, Madeline O’Neil, Donna Jean Slater, Leland An- derson, Elden Atchinson and Dino Carlini. Our secretary is Granuccia Amadei. When traffic rules are disobeyed, persons breaking them are given tickets and are sent to court where their cases are heard. Unless the pupils of Burbank work with their officers to keep good order, the faculty may feel that they must take over the superv ision of the hall and yard, and we will have failed in our efforts to give service to our school. All indoor traffic officers are sworn in by Police Officer Simpson. At the end of their term of service they receive certificates of Honorable Discharge,. One of the rewards of service is the theater party each semester at the United Artists Theatre. This party is given by the Berkeley Police Department and the theatre management. — Enice Cavalline and Granuccia Amadei

T STUDENT COURT hf. court is part of the traffic system at Burbank. All pupils who are arrested for breaking rules in the yards, cafeteria, assembly, halls, Jor streets adjacent to Bin- bank are tried by the court. The court has two divisions, the lower court anJ the Supreme Court. In three years we have only called three sessions of the Supreme Court. Most of the court work is carried on by low ten pupils. Court officers are se- lected when they are in the eighth grade. This is done so that thev may thoroughly learn the court work. Then they are promoted as they earn promotion. The following are court officers: Judge of the Supreme Court: Dr. L. L. Stand- ley. judges of the lower court: Stanley Bond, Stanley Bush, and Albert Hardie. Secre- taries: Pauline Mignone, and Jean Pedersen. Bailiff: Stanley Bond. Clerk: John Gam- botto. Doorkeeper: Frederick Vogt. Chief Officers: William Kari, Eleanor Phister, Fran- cis Laugel, Shirley Shreuli, Clarence Dalke, Gordon Rohse, Victor Yellis. Jury: Fore- men, Louis Lin ville, MirjamSalo, Eleanor Polo, Warren Freihofer, John Pritz. and Geo- rge Fong. Faculty Sponsor: Mrs. Scales. Sessions of the court are held every Tuesday and Friday. During previous terms the court tried about twenty cases a week. Pupils new to Burbank were the offenders. This term we have had fewer cases which seems to indicate that Burbank pupils are im- proving their citizenship. — Pauline Mignone BOYS ' ' SPORTS F oys athletics centered around touch-tackle football this term. A large number of boys turned out for this sport, California doing so well this football season JJ wa anadded incentive. After a very good round robin schedule had been played the H9 boys found themselves leading as inter-class champions. Volley-ball played second role in popularity this term. This sport was delayed until the weather kept us inside. It is a very good gymnasium game. As our Wizard goes to press the boys are warming up for the basket-ball inter-class., which starts in January. The H9 boys feel that they are going to sweep the field in this sport as they did in foot- ball. — Peter Flammang JUNIOR GLEE CLUB f if %hesf groups are under the direction of Miss Adele Gilbert. The girls ' club has about thirty-live members and meets twice a week. We are proud of the fine . progress we have made this semester. We have studied Schubert’s “Serenade”, “The Lord is My Shepherd”, “Sunbeams”, “Gypsy Song”, “Barcarolle”, and “Dancers”. During Public Schools Week the combined clubs sang the incidental music for the play which was given under the direction of Mrs. Phelps. The boys now have about half as many members as the girls but those who arc still faithful are doing very good work.
