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.

SENIOR GIRLS-’ CHORUS H orty ' FOUr girls joined the senior chorus this semester. They decided it would be ■j Lin to have an assembly of community singing for the seniors who were not enrolled in music. The theme, “Down South” was chosen because southern songs are well -known and well-liked. The Senior Boys’ Chorus joined with the girls and together they led in the singing. Song slides were used for the community songs. Special numbers were added with effective projected scenery depicting the south. The most lively number on the program was the Virginia Reel done by the girls from the physical education department. Girls ' Glee Qlub Later in the term the chorus sang for Open House night in an act entitled, “Scenes of Other Lands”. Songs were sung representing Sweden, Italy, India, and Mexico. The most interesting performance of the term was a radio program given over station KRE. Not many of the pupils had ever performed over the radio before, and found it very entertaining and educational. They sang a group of Christmas carols. They repeated these and sang others for the Christmas Pageant. The girls enjoyed planning these programs and performing in them. Almost all the girls hope to continue their chorus work next term. — Lorraine Johnson SENIOR BOTS-’ CHORUS ■ he senior boys’ chorus of twenty members met twice a week this semester. The first performance was tor a senior assembly. The boys joined with the girls and presented a program “Down South”. The boys furnished several special numbers including a group of harmonica players, a close harmony group of singers, and some solos.
