Taking Care Of Our Needs Daily North High ' s campus is strewn with lunch papers carelessly dropped there by students, but within a short time the efficient groundskeepers have the campus clean and beautiful again. They clean the buildings and put them in order after students and faculty have gone home. The cafeteria is perhaps the favorite building of most Mustangs. There delicious meals just like one gets at home are served. Responsible in a large measure for the great variety and tastiness of cafeteria food are the two cooks, Mr. Storks and Mr. Hilkemeyer. The members of the cafeteria staff and Mrs. Ruth Smith, cafeteria manager, are kept busy during three lunch periods every day. They must keep silver, dishes, and glasses supplied to the continuous lines of students. In the short time between lunches, they restore order to the cafeteria by putting chairs back in place and preparing the steam tables for the next rush of students. THE GROUNDS AND CAFETERIA were under the capable supervision of the custodians and cafeteria workers. Bottom — Front Row: Duffy. O ' Haver, Nye, Timmons, Schipper, Kestner, Bales. Gilmore, Elhott.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION — Superintendent E. W. Montgomery (left) with the Board of Education of the Phoenix Union High Schools and Phoenix College: Dr. Trevor G. Browne, Mr. Ray Busey, Mrs. F. A. Bons, Mr. W. J. McDonald, and Mr. John Herrscher. Their Wisdom Showed Us The Way Not only is North High a democratic high school, but this democracy is practiced by each and every student. This smooth-running government carried out by these students themselves is brought about by the supreme law of the school, the constitution. This con- stitution sets forth many principles that make the method of student government practiced at North Phoenix High School one of the most outstanding and progressive in the West. The provisions of the school constitution and of any decisions made by the student body are subject to the approval of the Board of Education of the Phoen ix Union High Schools. The members of the Board are elected by the voters of the school district. The Board deter- mines the policies followed by the schools in the district. The decisions of this body govern the district in every way. In them is vested the power to employ teachers, principals, and the superintendent. Democracy is practiced in the classroom at North High. Students hold class meetings us- ing parliamentary procedure. In some classes, they conduct class recitation for a short time each day. When a teacher is called from class for some reason, the class can be depended upon to carry on just as if he were there. These valuable principles of democratic living and getting along in the world are a large and important part of the education students re- ceive at North High.

Balancing The Budget For the first time North High students had the use of activity cards, which gained them admission to all home games, plays, half price at dances, a subscription to The Mustang Roundup, and partial payment on the yearbook, Hoofbeats. The aim of the Activities Commis- sion was to make it possible for more students to attend school functions at less cost. The Bookstore Board decided on the prices of books, pencils, and the Mustang stickers for books and car windshields. The delicious lunches served in the North High cafeteria and the reasonable prices can be credited to the work of the Cafeteria Board. They regulate the prices on food and keep the cafeteria ' s profits at a minimum. The Athletic Association was resDonsible for the appropriation of funds for boys ' and girls ' athletics and for the sports equipment. They were in charge of all money received or spent in the carrying out of interscholastic athletic contests. m (21)
