JOHN CONTOS BARBARA WILDEIt RUTH MALTZER JACK GRANNIS BILL DERECAT HAROLD LISTER i. MORT ZIMMER l . lllamncralz' Those politically minded students who run for student body offices need recommendations before they become candidates. Scholarship and citizenship ratings are carefully considered, and only those whose records show they are worthy of serving George Washington students are allowed to run for office. Rallies and elections are held the term previous to the one in which the new elected ollicers are to work. This allows those elected to -prepare themselves for the coming task of keeping George Washington on top. JOE LYDON, Radio Announcer Starting the term successfully by ushering in the sophomores and other new students with the Senior-Soph reception, the Spring '41 Student Body officers raised the standards of activities higher than ever before and maintained this new standard until graduation by keeping the interest of the students. President john Contos, Vice President Barbara Wilder, Secretary Ruth Malt- zer, Treasurer jack Grannis, Custodian Mort Zimmer, Athletic Manager Bill de Recat, and Yell Leader Harold Lister were the oflicers who directed this long- to-be-remembered term. john Contos presided at executive council meetings, in which the budget was planned and all other school business was voted on. The executive council is made up of all Student Body ofhcers and class officers, plus enough represen- tatives to make a total of six from each class. Starting a new tradition, Mr. Cummings appointed a principal's cabinet of 12 members. The body is unofficial but brings such issues before the executive council as it thinks necessary to maintain school standards. This term the council rewrote the Constitution of the George Washington Student Body Association, adding necessary clauses and condensing the by-laws. The changes will be approved by the executive council before they become effective. Among other things the council was also responsible for a cleaner cafeteria. Rallies were held in the north court or auditorium, depending on whether the weather were good or bad, and new talent or guest speakers were featured on PAGE TWELVE
