PONDERING a discipline prob, lem are Guidance Board mem- bers Tim Tuveson, Florence Howard, Bob Smelick, Board Adviser William Ball, Ann Kova- covich, and Gus Blanchard. 37 Fair Play Their Waichword Chosen by their fellow students on the basis of citizenship, intelligence, and personality, members of the Guidance Board deal out jus- tice with mercy to erring Bobcats who come afoul of the Merit System. Most importantly, the board insists on hearing all sides of the student's problem before making a decision. SERVICE with smiles is typical at the Bookstore. Students get prompt attention from Zena Tornincasa, Norma This judicial part of our student government not only hands out demerits but also rescinds them when fair play dictates. But the quality of mercy must be kept strong with stern real- ity, too, our self-government system depends on enforcement. Our Guidance leaders are respected for their skill in a very difficult job. Thorneycroft, and Manager Don Brockett. Busy Bookstore takes care of requisitions, student tickets, and supplies.

fly W V l K Student leaders like to lead, but their self- confidence can use a boost now and then, as problems grow and projects appear ready to collapse. That's where the friendly advice of Mr. Pitts, Mr. Ball, and Mrs. Risley come to the rescue. But don't underrate these high schoolers, earnestly declare the deans. ffl HELLO! Friendly s iles light up the faces of Vice Prin- cipal Wayne Pitts, Boys' Adviser William A. Ball, and For Us, Help When Needed ALERT to the latest news are these secretaries! From left are Alice Hart, guidance, Eleanor Parks, vice prin- cipal's office, Kitty Sheen, principal's office, Betty Pretzer, receptionist. Bobcats have learned to depend on such guidance. Theirs is the fair judgment when a student has transgressed, theirs the word of encouragement when students see failure and disappointment ahead. Such friends are price- less to us. Often their sound advice will carry over for a full lifetime of worthy achievement. Mrs. Lucille Risley, dean of girls. Students crowd their offices at all hours seeking answers to problems. pf? 5 ,, ..c.k..3f.E.kfj,es, Y. i t 2

SENATE SESSION: While Jim Walker introduces a motion, Senate members pay close attention. Lower left: Bob Smelick brings up a point of law in a sub-committee meeting. Other legislators are Moody, Waters, Blanchard, Ramenofsky, Boyd, Griffith, Spector, Ramras. Right: A New Freedom Freedom of parliamentary procedure high lighted Central High School's Student Senate this year. Under this novel system, any senator may introduce a bill directly onto the floor. This was a forward step, members agreed, for in the past, a bill could be offered only by committee procedure, and meant long delays. ii X lighter moment in Senate business was this scramble for office titles. Funsters include tstandingl Carpenter, Weiss, Kelly, Burns, Hefling seated, Armour, Newmark, Bate, Bob Kelly, Gus Blanchard, Murphy, Gold, and Pardee who compare notes and titles suitable for real senators. For Senators Another important advancement was the new system by which the general student body could be informed of Senate action. Liaisons, or representatives, were to be elected from each English class. They would then be in- formed of Senate accomplishments to be re- ported directly to the class each represented. 4
