All of the officers are seniors except the treasurer, Bob Havard, who is a junior. The president presides over the student body meetings and the vice-president presides over the student council meetings. The secretary writes the minutes for both meetings, and the treasurer takes care of all the financial transactions. essage As the school year of 1940-41 completes its course, we look back on the making of history in Grants Pass high school. During the year we have been able to carry out an organized school govern- ment, with meetings of the executive board and stu- dent council scheduled and planned in advance. A fine student body, full of pep and life has aided the administration in fulfilling its purposes. An outstanding example of this was our purchase of the basketball scoreboard, a project undertaken by the students without any outside help or donations, and any student has a right to say he helped to buy it. Another outstanding accomplishment was the organization of the drum and bugle corps, which has become a feature of our high school athletic events. Executive committees representing the student body in various school activities have efficiently per- formed assigned tasks and been responsible for the origin of ideas for the promotion of good school spirit. One of these was the sign and noise parade to advertise football games. Student body assemblies have all been planned in advance for the enjoyment of students, social activities also have been carefully planned. ' Thus, through the cooperation of the students, the work of the student council, and executive board with its committees we have striven to follow our mot- to to put Grants Pass high school on top and keep it there in all sports and activities.

P-v Sttzefenl bxeculive Efforts xgffe fsllliflgl! The two student councils and the executive board, by undertaking larger and more projects, sought to reach their goal, which was to realize more fully the benefits experienced in self government and to create a closer relationship between admistration, community, and students. Under the guidance of Miss Daphne Matthews. blames Keith, W. S. Car- penter, and Principal Henry Tetz, they made steady advancement toward this goal. The two projects of the student body this year illustrate the capacity of our student government. These two projects were ones requiring unusual ini- tiative on the part of the students. The turfing of the football field was taken on and financed by sell- ing 31.000 worth of bonds, to be used with an equal amount of money given by the school board, and to be paid off within five years. Wfith the unanimous consent of the student body one thousand acres of burned over land was obtained from the county for the purpose of return- ing the abandoned area to its former useful state of a productive pine and fir forest. A day, March 7, was set aside for 480 boys to plant 5,000 fir trees and 5,000 pines. The National Forestry department obtained these trees from the state nursery for the student body. Both of these projects were carried out under our student executive system. The student councils are made up of represent- atives from each club and class in the school, who discuss problems and possible improvements within the school and act as advisory councils to the exe- cutive board. This plan facilitates immediate action on legislation desired. The executive system of the students includes besides the student councils and the executive board, several standing committees appointed at the first of each school year. These committees include assemblies, homerooms, clubs, social activities, dramatics, music. athletics, classes, publications, honoraries, and forensics under their jurisdiction. 52 W' it-Q1 ' - Q mme It vt 1 .2-W U 'f .ae..fM:'s t seat.
