MERIT BOARD The Merit Board, composed of Mr. Freeman, chairman, Marion Worthley, secretary, Miss Fulton, Brent Akers, and Pete Ysusi, was in complete charge of the Merit Sys- tem. At the beginning of the year each student is given one hundred merits. Demerits are given for mis- demeanors of any sort, but they must be given through the Merit Board. Merits, one given for each two hours' work outside of school time. must also be passed through the Merit Board. ' The Board is called whenever necessary to discuss and decide on various cases. lf a student feels de- merits have been given unnecessar- ily, he may take his case before the Merit Board and if the board is convinced that an injustice has been done it may make necessary adjustment. One change has been made this year-the number of demerits given for ditching one class was changed from ten to four or more. Demerits are also given for tardi- ness and unexcused absence slips, usually three or more. When a stu- dent loses all but seventy-five he may be suspended from school for a short period of time, and if he holds any student body office he will be atomatically suspended from it if he loses more than twenty merits.

STUDENT COUNCIL The l934-35 Student Council, which consists of the Student Body officers and representatives of the various school activities, has again successfully managed the affairs of the Dinuba High School Student Body. The year was started by a social event at the home of the principal, Mr. Hellbaum, where affairs of the coming year were discussed and later in the evening refreshments were served. Another event was a luncheon in the cafeteria, served by the Home Economics Club. A program was furnished by members of the coun- cil with Dawn Walters acting as toastmistress. The work of the Student Council is to settle all petty disputes which arise during the year where a small body can act more efficiently and satisfactorily than a large group. Brent Akers, Student Body presi- x dent, presided over the council, un- der the guidance of Mr. Hellbaum and Mr. Freeman, faculty repre- sentatives.
