GARFIELD STUDENT COURT In order to give the students of Garfield all the liberties possible and that they might have the experience of governing themselves to the greatest possible extent, the principal has decided to initiate a court of justice for the Spring Term of 1938. It is to be organized as follows: Name— GARFIELD JUSTICE COURT Section 1. Membership. There shall be a Justice Court composed of seven judges, appointed by the Executive Committee at the beginning of each semester. One of the seven shall be appointed Chief Justice. Section 2. Duties. This court shall sit for the trial of certain types of cases regarding student discipline and control as recommended by the Principal. Section 3. Meetings. Meetings shall be held at the call of the Chief Justice and the Student Body Director, or the Principal. GRAND JURY Section 1. Membership. There shall be a Grand Jury selected each semester consisting of eleven jurors and appointed by the Student Body President, Student Body Director, and the Principal. Both boys and girls are eligible to appointment. One of the members shall be appointed as Chairman. Section 2. Duties. The grand jury shall be assigned to special and specific duties as occasion demands. They shall aim to improve the morale, habits, customs, and procedures of the Student Association. They will serve primarily as a fact finding and investigating body. Section 3. Meetings. They shall meet each week with the Student Body President, Student Body Director, and Principal. LITERARY ROOK EXHIBIT Several hundred new books, bought for Garfield, were on display in the school library during the month of October. There were not only story books, but also many reference books, and books of other classes, which have been enjoyed very much. The books have proved to be a worthy purchase to all who enjoy the library. This semester many more pupils have found their way to the library and have learned to like and appreciate it. ADMISSION DAY CELEBRATION On September ninth, Garfield School celebrated Admission Day in a very fitting manner. The Ninth Grade put on a skit representing the day when the Oregon brought the news that California was admitted to the Union, and de- livered the seal of the State to Yerba Buena (now San Francisco). The ceremony was concluded with the raising of the Bear flag and the Stars and Stripes, and a solo trumpet selection by Robert McElroy, I Love You, Cali- fornia, and The Star Spangled Banner. The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, and the Girl Reserves were represented at the ceremony.
