A generous contribution to a fund col- lected by the San Francisco high schools helped to send three student musicians from Polytechnic High School and one from Mis- sion High School to the National High School Orchestra Competition held in Dallas, Texas. The Sea Scouts. after having much of their property and their boat destroyed by fire, were aided and set on their feet again. The various teams were allotted money for neces- sary expenses incurred during the season. LUCILE HANSEN L, H. S. S, A. Vice-President Thus the Board of Directors guides the affairs of the school throughout the term. It is our highest administrative body: through it our school officers are enabled to co-operate in carrying out their duties. Although perhaps more removed from the ordinary student than the other governing bodies, the Boys' Council and the Girls' Council, which consist of representatives elected in each registry room, the board exercises the final control, and its work influences to a great extent the success of the school term.

The secre- tary of the student body takes care of the usual secretarial duties-reporting on official com- munications, keeping the minutes of the board, writing necessary letters. The main duty of the first assistant treasurer is to pro- vide for and supervise the distribution of stu- dent-body cards, which make their holders members of the student association and entitle them to a vote in all school elections. to copies of the school paper, and to a reduction of the admission price at athletic contests.

The term of office of all student- body officers is one semester: they may be elected the next term to some other office en- titling them to sit in the board. The editors of the two publications, THE LOWELI. and THE RED AND WHITE, although studenty-body officers, are not officially enrolled as members of the board. All studentnbody officers are elected by popular vote of the entire school, except the manager of publications, who, because of his special duties, is chosen by the board at the beginning of each term.

The membership of the Shield and L consists of the girl represent- atives of the junior and senior classes and certain ex-officio members--the officers of the upper classes, the vice-president of the student body, the girls' yell leaders. and the girls' athletic manager. Lucile Hansen, by virtue of her office of vice- president, has been honorary president this semester. The other officers were: president, Sara Alpert: vice-president, Carolyn Sievers: and secretary, Alice Easton, The faculty members are Miss Lacoste and Miss Gibson.

As the Shield and L is the girls' honor society, it has among its members many who have distinguished themselves both in scholarship and in school activities. The principal object has been to keep order at rallies and to assist generally in school affairs. 14
