STUDENT BODY As we look through the newsreel covering the past year's important events of the Student Body, we can see that this is one of the Student Body's most success- ful years. The Student Body Officers are as follows: Al Sorrenti, President: Gene Iackson, Vice-President: Opal Bergen, Secretary: Bruce Moorehead, Treasurer: Mary Powers, Editor of El Escalon : Doris Palmer and Gladys Hagstrom, Editors of the Hi-Booster : Don Riesenbeck, Boys' Athletic Manager: Frances Gonzales, Girls' Athletic Manager: Harry Sexton and Peggy Lehman, Yell Leaders. The Student Body has now the largest membership it has ever had. This or- ganization has worked in excellent harmony throughout the entire term. Every enterprise which this group has undertaken has been a success because of the splendid cooperation of both students and teachers: as a result the Student Body has never before been so financially successful. Assembly programs have been given by the different classes and organiza- tions in school. Various other interesting and educational programs have been given by speakers and entertainers. Early in the year Paul Cheak gave a lecture on the subject, Health, and he also entertained the Student Body with many skillful stunts and tricks. On November 10, Audrey Sheller, one of the only three marimba artists on the Pacific Coast, played a number of selections on her marimba. Warren Atherton gave a Washington's Birthday address. On March 11 Mr. Armstrong, president of the Armstrong College, gave the Student Body a lecture on the subject, Planning for a Career. e145

GIRLS' LEAGUE All the girls in the school belong to the Girls' League, the purpose of which is social experience and public welfare. The officers for this year were as follows: President, Doris Palmer: Vice-Presi- dent, Gene Iacksong Secretary, Wanda Britt: Treasurer, Mary Powers: Point Keeper, Esther Schutzp Reporter, Ruth Anderson: Yell Leader, Peggy Lehman. Mrs. Harbers was adviser, and Mrs. Bergen was Mother for the girls. ln the middle of the year, another election had to be held because two of the officers left this school. Wanda Britt was made president, Barbara Probert took her place as secretary, and Audrie Pope was chosen as reporter. The first picture on the screen shows the girls, all dressed as tramps, at the annual Hi-links. The party was unusually successful, because each class, as well as the teachers, gave an excellent stunt. In November, representatives were sent to the Girls' League Convention at Oakdale. Escalon was there honored by being chosen as a member of the Reso- lutions Committee. The year's biggest project was the sending of small boxes of Christmas gifts to the hospital at Mare Island. The last social event of the year was the Mother and Daughter Reception, held in the spring. The theme of this party was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The last meeting at which pins were awarded and new officers installed was perhaps the most impressive event of the year. lt was a beautiful candlelight service in which each incoming officer pledged herself to fulfill the duties of her office to the best of her ability. 4215s
