School Board The school board, headed by Lester Hamilton, chairman, added many improvements to Nampa High School. B. G. Davies, E. G. Chaffer, C. M. Corlett, Elmer Kinney, Edson Deal and Gertrude Miller, clerk, complete the board. They planned many improvements for the school, among which was the leveling of the tract of land north of the Caldwell Boulevard. This land was then turned into a base- ball diamond for the high school enthusiasts. They secured equipment for the machine shop, manual training and agriculture building from the U. S. Government surplus commodities. Considerable time was spent trying to find a location for a new high school. They gave their work much publicity among the service clubs to get public opinion. Although the board came to no definite conclusion, they found several desirable sites and are planning to build a new up-to-date high school in the next few years. Merit Board S The merit board, composed of Barbara Gowen, chairman, Barbara Lessinger, Barbara McCall, and Myrna Knipe, met once each semester to compile the activity points earned by students during that semester. This work consisted of checking activities listed on petition cards turned in by the sponsor of each club. Finally the points on each card were totaled and the sum recorded. Each year the five Seniors earning the greatest number of points receive a life pass which admits them to all events sponsored by Nampa Senior High School.

Student liuuncil Two of the most important matters settled by the Student Council this year were incompleted topics left over from previous years. The first was approving the budget drawn up by Mr. Cald- well, the high school treasurer. The second was revising, and passing the school Constitution. Nampa High School's governing body was steered by Glenn Cushman, president, Bill Allen, vice- presidentg Valeta Hershberger, secretary. The other administrators included homeroom representa- tives, yell king and queen, publication editors, and class presidents. Once each month a boy from the senior class was elected by the Student Council as Student Ro- tarian. These honored boys were Tom Thompson, Pat Little and Mike Hayes. A piano was purchased by the organization for use in assemblies. The members voted to have the exchange assembly, which was given in Boise, and charge admission for the purpose of raising funds for a new refrigerator in the lunchroom. It was also decided to have the Senior Assembly a pay assembly. The money from this was to help pay for the srevice-men's placque. Plans for assisting in the District Basketball Tournament, held here in Nampa, were carried out by the Student Council. Committees were chosen to procure posters, provide for half-time enter- tainment, to keep the gym floor clean and to attend to various details.
