Boys' Commissioners The position of commissioner is the highest office of Student Service to be attained. In order to gain this position a pupil must have shown superior qualities in character, scholarship and leadership. He must also have served satisfactorily as a director on Student Service. He must be recommended by the members of the faculty and voted on by the pupils. The excellent work of our commissioners this year has enabled Le Conte Student Service to main- tain its splendid reputation throughout the city. Vera L. Lobanoff and Norman W. Kempton have sponsored this organization commendably. These commissioners are true examples of our real Le Conte students. To be a real Le Conte student means that he must be trustworthy, he must be loyal to home, school and country, he must be courteous to all, he must be clean in mind and body, he must co-operate with others, he must be helpful to his parents, teachers and fellow studentsg he must be cheerful, and finally he must be thrifty with his own possessions and the property of others. The boys pictured above, assisted by the girls on the opposite page, are at the head of the five departments of Student Service.
