STUDENT CCVEIQNIVIENT IOHNNY HOBSON MARIORIE RADFGRD STUDENT GCVERINIIVIENT ACTIVITIES All the activities of Central are supervised directly or indirectly by the Student Government. Naturally, seniors predominate in the cabinet. The first term's cabinet was headed by lohnny Hobson, who had formerly served as Prosecuting At- torney. Other senior members were: Felder Morehead, Boys' Vice-President, Peggy Boyce, Girls' Vice-Presi- dent, Dorothy Park, Secretary, Frank Turnbull, Treas- urer, lack Barron, Prosecuting Attorney, George Schwab, Commissioner of Social Activities, and june Love, Commissioner of Publicity. For the first time in the history of Central's Student Government, a Direc- tor of War Activities Was appointed. David Babin served ably at this post and Robert Bartusch and Bradley Daley served as Chief Marshal and Fire Marshal, respectively. The cabinet members are the servants of the coun- cil, which is made up of representatives duly elected from each home room. In the middle of the year the Green and Gold nom- inating conventions are held, each consisting of dele- gates from every home room. Two tickets are pre- sented to the students from these conventions. Elec- tions are held by secret ballot. This year, for the third time in Central's history, a girl, Marjorie Radford, was elected President of the Student Government. Marjorie had formerly served as Secretary and Girls' Vice- President. The Senior members of the new cabinet were A. G. Wellons, Boys' Vice-President, june Love, Girls' Vice-President, Ioyce Spalding, Secretary, Fred Willis, Treasurer, David Vance, Prosecuting Attorney, David Babin, Commissioner of Social Activities, and Dorothy Park, Commissioner of Publicity. Prudence Todd was appointed Director of War Activities and Iohn Marshall was apponted Chief Marshal. Robert Bartusch served as Fire Marshal. New Oiiice Proves Important One The Director of War Activities, who was first ap- pointed in September, 1942, supervised the majority of the projects attempted by the Student Government this year. David Babin started his job by beginning a scrap metal drive, for which the office was specific- ally created. With a quota of 7500 pounds tfive pounds per studentl, Central plunged whole-heartedly into the drive. The results were astounding. Central students brought in 67,500 pounds of scrap metal, more than any other city school. The money obtained from this drive enriched Central's treasury by more than 35380. Also in the fall term, the Student Govern- ment played host to thousands of registrants in the gasoline registration program. The primary activity in connection with this office during the spring term was a War Stamp Drive. Be- ginning in the middle of March, 1943, the drive, under the direction of Prudence Todd, was an instant suc- cess because of the enthusiastic response of the stu- dent body. Witness of the success of these efforts is the rise in the school sales totals: March 16-25409, March 23- 5412, March 30-33395, April 30-395, April 6-51200, April 13-S2,35O, and April 20-33,500 To stimulate the purchase of Stamps and Bonds, a weekly contest was held among the home rooms. All rooms who were 100 per cent received a small minute man, which was pasted on the door. This idea came from the Scrap metal drive of the previous Page Thirty-two
