CIVICS PROJECT Again the city of Dixon was placed into the hands of members of the Dixon High School civics classes. The project is intended to give all high school people an idea of how regular campaigns are conducted. Each senior class gains the opportunity to see how the machine called government works. The ultimate aim is to make good citizens of us all. The height of excitement was reached on election day, April 8, when it was announced that Robert Dowling was elected mayor. The able commissioners elected were Robert Mottar, Edward Callahan, Ellsworth Burket, and Paul Girndt. Commissioner Mottar chose to be head of the Department of Public Health and safety. Com- missioner of Streets and Alleys was the ofiice picked by Mr. Edwin Callahan. Ellsworth Burket obtained the oflice of Commissioner of Public Property. The important Department of Accounts and Finance was taken charge of by Commissioner Paul Girndt. An event of great moment took place on the evening of April 15. At this time the outgoing mayor, Mr. Slothower, administered the oath to Mayor Dowling. The new mayor, in turn, ad- ministered the oath to the four commissioners. After these government ofiicials had given addresses at the council meeting, they proceeded to allot the various positions of importance in the city to deserving and capable ofiicers. The appointees of the commissioners were Eleanor Dodd, City Clerkg Charles Kearney, City Attorney, and Garland Sinow, City Treasurer. They next confirmed appointments of Alfred Nichols, Chief of Police, John Jensen, Fire Chief, Robert Kline, City Engineer, Harold Brantner, Superintendant of Streets, Anne Ackert and Rose Bevilacqua, health ofiicersg and Ruth Olds, City Stenographer. The mayor then, after due thought and consideration, appointed several boards. The park board was composed of Helen Rhodes, Norma Crawford, Dudley Hubbard, Arnold Salzman, and Wanda Walder. On the Hospital Board were Margaret Reilly, Rogene Barriage, Lorraine Williams, Helen Coss, Buelah McKaye, Betty Sheller, Mary Jane Lambert, Harriette Weyant, and Jeanne Hart. The Library Board consisted of Gula Smith, Helen Hey, Charlotte Beede and Louise Miller. The Airport Commission included Robert Minnihan, William Duffy, Robert Hoyle, Joye Ellis, and Howard Dieckman. A new commission for the community building was organized and Donald Walberg, Kathryn Hecker, Lucille Covert, and Charles Wright served as members. The following clay, Saturday, April I6, the city passed into the hands of its youthful rulers. They attacked their respective problems with a will, and all reached some kind of conclusion as to how to solve their difficulties. The policemen, too, had a field day and were unusually active for rookie cops. The climax of the day was reached when the evening council meeting was held. Here the chairmen of the boards arose to present their findings and the results of their deliberations. Several bills were introduced by the commissioners, and reports of various city ofiicers were also given. Miss Scott, Mr. Lindell, and Mr. Castle, civics teachers, along with the city ofiicials, are the recipients of the gratitude and appreciation poured forth by the senior class. Pagz 27
