Frieda. Nielson, Student Body Secretary Louis Crandall, Student Body President Lola Gylling, Student Body Vice-President gyhcienf, Quagkecl .gzwlenf gov! Ofhcerfi The spirit of Louis, Lola and Frieda has made this year a success by their willingness to carry out their duties as stu- dent body officers. Louis has been a very dependable leader full of new ideas and ways to improve the standards of Mesa high. His many responsibilities are the planning and conducting of Fri- day assemblies, answering correspondence in regard to the student government and other school activities. He also acts as head of the Student Council. Lola, the assistant who stands back of the president at all times, helps him to prepare the assemblies and conducts them when the president is gone. Lola has complete charge of the student council meals. Frieda is the person who is always busy keeping all minutes of assemblies, student council meetings and other Twenty school activities. She posts the students council records on the bulletin board and then puts them away for further use. She also compiles at the end of the year the minutes of all the clubs and organizations of Mesa high in one book. These officers are elected from the junior class each spring and take office the following fall. The elections are exciting, hotly contested events, with each candidate, his manager and various backers giving speeches, putting up signs all over the campus and racing through the usual political shennanigins. When the votes are finally tabulated and the results of the elections made known, the whole school breathes a sigh of relief, and things once more settle down to normal. These elections prove to be well worth the trouble as proved by the fine officers who are the leaders of Mesa High.

vice-principal, attendance director, and vocational guidance Dora Mctlullu who trunk Miss Janyce Taylor's place in QIOQFLJQAL ' 81015 A new student coming to Mesa High is first taken into the attendance office where Marie Griner, registrar, assists him with his registration and schedule. The new student is then taken to his class and introduced to other students by a member of the Les Amis or Friendship club. From this time on, all of his scholastic records are kept by Miss Griner. Across the aisle we find Velda Magnusson and Dora McCulla, who replaced Janyce Taylor at the end of the first semester. They have the responsibility of checking all absences, whether legal or otherwise. A new system has been put into effect this year. Every student's name is alphabetically arranged on a bulletin board. Different types of pins are placed on the board for half day absences, all day absences, etc. This record is kept for one semester. All the pins are removed and a new record is begun. Assisting in the attendance office by collecting attend- ance slips, recording absences and other official informa- tion were the following girls: Vila Colinwood, Erna Smith, Eleanor Johnson, Marvell Nichols, Virginia Lenhart, Verda Casey, Peggy Wilkerson, Sybil Barth, Bertie Hogle, Yvonne Heiner, Wilna Lamoreaux, Peggy Page, Ada Mae Magnus- son, Antionette Streit and Mary Ann Gaglione.

nergefic, egagk .gzwlenf Counci The Student Council has been more active this year than any other Student Council in the history of Mesa High. One of the many new ideas this year's Council started was spon- soring dances after a few of the important football games. These dances proved to be very popular. ' Mona Urrea, Girls' League president, was known all over the campus for her friendly smile and cheerie i'hello. She led the Girls' League through a very successful year. Delwyn Gardner was the quiet, efficient leader of Boys' League. He was in charge of one of the most beautiful Christmas Formals ever staged. The class presidents-John Hamblin, senior, Douglas Sheperd, iunior, Darrell Skousen, sophomore, and Norman Calhoun, freshman-directed their classes through one of the most active years Mesa High has seen in a long time. The student body elected Venla Allen to serve as the cheer commissioner this year. Venla was ready and willing io lead us in a rousing good cheer. Harry Newell was chosen to be the publicity commis- sioner. Harry could always be found getting some activity ready to present before the student body. Bettye Ann Cooper was chosen to lead the fine arts de- partment. Bettye Ann proved very efficient. All her spare time was spent in the band or music room working. Roy McClellan has worked very hard with athletics all through his four years in high school. lt was only fitting that he should be chosen as athletic commissioner. Beth Matthews as social commissioner produced a very exciting All Campus Party. Beth was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever help was needed. Melvin Pearce was not only editor of the .lackrabbit both semesters, but he also served as publications commis- sioner. Wayne Legg, club commissioner, came to Mesa High when he was a junior.
