Students affected by this announce- ment faced two very fair- minded judges, Gladys Schroeder and Ron Ross. The jury consisted of two senior jurymen, Gwen Bell and Tom McGetchin, and the two jun- ior jurymen, Nancy Sue Wil- son and Jackie McColaugh. A very efficient secretary, Angie Cabrera, kept all rec- ords straight. Sergeant at Arms Ken Cook kept order and always looked up those late comers. The offenses ranged from no lunch permits to ditching assemblies, and all the Cou- gar Knights and Alphas soon learned to discern between the innocent and guilty of- fenders while sitting in court and listening to people plead their cases. The Cougar Knights are those fifteen boys whom you see proudly sporting those flashy orange and black satin jackets lrather than shining armorl, The Knights were the leaders of our school activities and played a big part in sports, along with their job of keeping order, The ever - present ticket book and pencil have become a tradition on the hill.
