Bohle Anne Irene Johnson Andrew Nelson Administration HAT a snap those prehistoric demagogues had-they taught the little cave men by drawing pictures on the cliffs. They had few problems to solve. But these days our faculty has to worry about needed improvements, increased enrollment, and faculty meetings. The C. W. A. program helped materially to lighten the financial burden of the school district by accomplishing improvements long before they would have been possible otherwise, said W. Matters, principal. Walls of the auditorium and some of the corridors were tinted, art desks built, and the gymnasium improved. Storage space was increased by additional excavation. The roof was repaired and retarred, and the old corner fences were replaced. One new teacher and two temporary instructors were added to the faculty this year. Wilford A. Reaper, a graduate of W. S. C., filled the position resigned by Miss Isyl Johnson, teaching journalism and English. Under the C. W. A., Miss Helen Chaney, who was graduated from the University of Oregon, and David Wright, a graduate of W. S. C., relieved the other teachers. After consideration by the faculty and the executive council, the number of periods was changed from five to six to accommodate an increased number of classes. The idea started last year when several 8 o'clock classes were conducted. This system is proving generally satisfactory, although shortening the periods has been a slight hinderance in some subjects, particularly laboratory subjects. Elimination of an activity period has made it necessary to hold meetings out of school time. The six- period day has made it easier to take care of added enrollment and has also made pro- gram assignments more flexible. Taking everything into consideration, the school year of 1933-34 has been a year of improvement and success. Five

Executive Council S THE primitive men had their leaders and council fires, so man today must be guided by some forceful members. As the pre-historic leader directed his tribes- men in the hunt, the feast, and the war dance, so our student body president leads in all student enterprises. In one of the peppiest and closest elections ever held within the high school, Andrew Nelson became Associated Student Body president a year ago as the 'QNew Deal presi- dent with the promise to Put the Bear Mark Highest! Other officers elected were: Gerald Maguire, vice-president, Winnifred Castle, secretary, and Roy Hurl, yell king. The managers approved were: Dorothy Graham, social, Ronald Sholund, athletics, Clark Bates, stage, and Maurice Carlson, forensic. Mazie Cummings and Lewis Haw- thorne were appointed by Miss Winifred Werner as student treasurer. James Carpenter became vice-president at the ineligibility of Maguire. The council started its work with the staging of Frosh Day before school opened. Winnifred Castle was chairman of the day and entertained the entering freshmen with varied musical numbers, faculty speakers, and a tour of the building. One of the big projects of the New Deal was the adoption of a new type of student ticket named, the stamp installment ticket. This ticket is purchased with weekly ten cent stamps and amounts to 53.60. It is good for all school projects including class affairs. The system has proven successful financially. The council projected and approved the building of a 55000 football granclstand with the cooperation of the CWA. A new system of electing officers named nomina- tion by petitionv was approved by the group and recommended to the various classes for trial. The New Deal leaders successfully steered the school spirit and activities back to their one-time supremacy. They did their part by fulfilling their promise to Put the Bear Mark I-Iighestln Back row, left to right: Clark Rates, Lester lrwin, James Carpenter, Roy Hurl.
