Charting the course for the entire public school system of Fremont is the duty of the Board of Edu- cation and the Superintendent of Schools. Captain John G. Hansen, most efficiently directed the preparation of the itinerary of S. S. Fremont Public Schools for the school year l939-40. He was very ably assisted by First-Mate James R. Hanson, Second-Mate Glenn E. W-ells, Log-Keeper R. A. Johnston, Purser Andrew Harvey, M. D., and Boatswains Lloyd Haven and H. N. Morrow, M. D. The new Linden Grade School was the board's first undertaking. NVith the erection of the building on newly acquired ground, high school athletes gained a new practice field. During April the board announced a decision which will result in the addition of another new building to the list. This summer a new 336,000 vocational arts building will be erected on the site now occupied by Central School. Before the beginning of school in September, a 351,000 grant was voted by the board to make activity programs and all issues of The Rustler free to every student in Senior and Junior High. Elec- tion of six new faculty members was also accomplished at this time. XVithout Hnancial aid from the crew,l' Fremont High School's Band would not have been able to purchase new uniforms this year. Local Parent-Teachers' Association units donated an initial fund to which was added by the board a sum more than six times the initial amount, thus making the purchase possible. Llnchartccl ports during the voyage required two faculty positions to be filled. The crew', elected Miss Anita Mehrens as successor to Miss Margaret Pascoe in the home economics department and Mr. Edward Schnabel as mathematics instructor to succeed Mr. Earle Smith.

rl at it a result The United States of America, as of decades of thought and deliberation, has produced a public school system designed to produce each generation a more ad- vanced and enlightened citizenry. Although schools do change superiicially, the basic idea underlying them remains the same to play its part in the American scheme. From the earliest time three Vli'fUCSJSCllCJl2l.l'Sl'1l17, cooperation, and self-control4have been em- phasized. Even before extracurricular ac- tivities were to appear with their contribu- tions, education's main purpose was to pro- duce a cultured youth, grounded in scholar- ship, cooperation, and self-control, Today as in years past, this purpose has been un- affected by the passing of time. Ever striv- ing to demonstrate this, the l9-lO Black and Gold staff dedicates the first section of its book to those who were instrumental in establishing these high ideals in which the l f today lirmlv believe.

Democracy in Action By Bob V. Brown The 1939-40 Student Council, under the direction of .lack Douglas and two term president. llrincipal Hamilton Mitten. and other student representatives, accomplished a real task hy sponsor- ing and creating many new school activities. The program set up as the school term went along was a true example of American democracy in action. The purpose hehind the Student Council is to carry out, in a democratic way. a student govern- ment program which will meet the needs and desires of the pupils. Throughout the school year this was clone in an effective manner. Meetings of the council took place every Thursday during the home room period. Un those days important current issues were brought forward and discussed fully hy the representatives and adviser. On the following Tuesdays questions made out by persons on the council were discussed in the various home rooms. Student representatives took charge ofthe discussions. The ideas of all students who voiced their opinions were then brought back in a summarized form to the council meetings where they were acted upon. A numher of the outstanding activities sponsored were the patrolling of school dances, the pres- entation ot programs in assemhly, the formulation of QT Code of Ethics, and dratting ot a constitution.
