 GUS KANELOPOULOS CLAIRE FOSTER BOB HILMOE JOYCE COHEN President Vice-President 2nd Vice-President Secretary Student Body Officers Sprint] ’5□ Again this term, as in the past, George Washington had a fine hard-working group of student body officers who did an excellent job to make the Spring term a big success. President Gus Kanelopoulos and his rally committee produced above par rallies all term. Gus, who plans to attend Cal, will be missed aiound school next term. Claire Foster, acting as regular Vice-President this term, did an outstanding job of planning dances. Claire also plans to attend Cal if she doesn't go to Stanford. Bob Hilmoe. 2nd Vice-President, did a good job with the Associate Rally committee and the planning of the May Festival. The records and minutes were kept in the usual neat manner by Secretary Joyce Cohen who will be seen around S. F. State next term. For the 16th consecutive term George Washington was 100% in Student Body Card sales, thanks to the fine work of Treasurer John Boragno. John, who will be at U.S.F. next term, also did a great amount of work on the May Festival. Custodian Dick Kissick kept the trophies shining brilliantly all term, and it was some job, too. with the track team bringing in three or four new ones every week. Athletic Manager George Marten, who also plans to enter U.S.F., did a good job on ticket sales for the term. His advertising of coming sports events was also exceptional. The school spirit was kept at a high level all term by Yell Leader Jim Bovero. Jim had the kids yelling at the top of their lungs in the basketball finals when we just missed the championship.

GEORGE ROBINSON President Student Body Officers Fall 49 George Robinson, student body president, is the quiet type, but with his quietness he had the respect of the student body as its leader. This was proven during 1949 when he made a special broadcast-appeal to the students to police themselves at noon before the Administration was forced to take a hand and treat us like babies. The appeal was heeded. Carol Foster was our vice-president from a hospital bed. During the summer of 1949 she contracted polio and was unable to actively fulfill her duties. But she did plan in writing and in detail all the school dances ahead of time. Claire Foster, secretary, became acting vice-president, and did an excellent job carrying out Carol's plans. She did a lot on her own, also, to help make dances and rallies a big success during 1949. Burk Jones, second vice-president, proved he could take over in an emergency. He became acting secretary and did a very fine job taking minutes and keeping the records. Joe Sterne, our treasurer, put George Washington High over the top again in student body card sales. We were 100% within five days for the 15th term in a row. Sam Potter did a fine fob as custodian. He had a lot of trophies and banners to care for, as George Washington High's fall sports record was one to envy. Bob Treseler, athletic manager, did a swell job putting over ticket sales at the games, averaging 1000 tickets per game for the football season, and should be especially commended for putting over programs at the games, especially the Lincoln-Washington program. Gus Hassapakis, yell leader, brought two new yells to Washington: Go Get 'Em Scarlet and Eagle Fight Yell. Gus was also the one who put over the half-time card tricks at the Lincoln and Lowell football games.
