ORGANIZATIONS The Executive Board is composed of twelve members, including the Student Body officers, class presidents, editor of the Green and Gold, and chairmen of the Student Control Boards. They meet every second Wednesday, alternating With the Student Council to discuss anything pertaining to the school's activities and general policies. Some of the matters passed on by the board are the school budget, assemblies, and questions of current interest, such as the preparation of Christmas boxes and the securing of school stickers. The matters on which the board looks favorably are later referred to the Student Council for final dis- cussion. The Boys' Student Control Board was created in May, 1933, when the Fremont Student Body voted a number of amendments to the school constitution. Since that time it has been one of the most active groups in school. The members may be identified by their green and gold arm bands, which also serve as their mark of authority. The main duties are the regulation of traffic in the halls between periods, keeping the corridors clear during the noon hour and enforcing ground regulations at lunch time. Class officers, nominated by petition and elected at the same time as Student Body officers, serve for one term though they are not barred from a second term at a later time. With the exception of the low sophomore class which elects only a chairman each class has a president, vice president, and secretary. These positions are filled at the end of the term previous to their semester of service. The main duties of the president are to look after the various activities which tradition has assigned to each year in high school 5 such as, the Sophomore Hop, the Iunior Prom, the Senior Ball, and the Senior Dinner. Class leadership falls about equally to boys and to girls. The Clubs, organized at the request of the students, cover a Wide range of inter- ests, including science, sports, dramatics, language, and creative writing. They meet before or after school, once a Week when various kinds of entertainment are enjoyed,. The programs vary according to the nature of the club, but often include plays, games, contests, and talks. Occasional trips are made by some of the groups. Tl-IE FLQME
