Sparked by president Jim Rex, the first semester student body cabinet upheld the highest standards of student government. Excelsior became very active in the California Association of Student Councils due to o great deal of after class work by the student body officers. Jim was capably assisted by vice-president Pat Collum, who also supervised the student court.

Other members ofthe group were Warren Davis, sgt.-at-arms, Lena Boersma, song leader, Willie Manriquez, yell leader, Jack Pace, treasurer, Larry Metzler, senior class president, Sterling Davis, junior class president, and Ray Hugli, sophomore class president.

A well co-ordi- nated group, they worked well under the leadership of Mr. Corley V. Porter, their director. Aided and abetted by a capable group of second semester officers, Earl Ludington carried forward the high standards of Excelsior's student government.
