Student Body Officers OUR STUDENT BODY OFFICERS take time out to glance at the school cal- endar. What a year! agree Pettus, boys' secretarYi Query, vice president: Rumsey, president, and Amster, girls' secretary. X EVERY JOB HAS ITS BETTER POINTS There's really a great deal more to being a student body officer than reclining on the steps discuss- ing matters With pretty girls. Even so, these representatives believe in having a good time along with their labors. Hearing all the sob stories presented to them at the Board of Control is not any pleasant task, but they take it with a grin. . Through representatives such as these it is possible tor the students ot PUHS to have a democratic form of school administration, any school's prize possession. Elected by the students, they help to keep the students on the beam . A strong advocate ot modern schooling, President Rumsey writes: May we take this lesson: ln the face ot war, and in the future atter war's end, leadership will go to those who have prepared for the task by education. This is a time not for looking upon education as a thing Without value, but rather a time when education must take on greater value than ever. As students pass through high school year after year, they commend the student body govern- ment and its ideals, which forever keep 'em flying . C283

Worthy Of Ou When you remember that in your grammar school there were, at most, two ianitors on duty, it might be something of a surprise to know that the above group keeps very busy right on one carnpuseoursl Main- tenance workers pictured above are, tirst row! Stephenson, Eichsteadt, Echols, Hendrix, Foster, Wright, Kipp, Atkinson, second rowelztutt, Osborn, Fellows, Reed, Scrivner, Mayberry, Hornbeckg back row - Hester, Mitchell, Martin, Bailey, Schwartz. Muther, Snelson, May. Bottom: lt's a constant job to keep hedges trimmed, walks repaired and your lunch papers gathered upl Altogether, there are 25 men and 2 women on our maintenance torce, not counting Cafeteria workers. Under the supervision ot Mr. Schofield Swartz, it is 1275 I' Praise - their job to keep our school and its surroundings spick 'n span. ln spite ot our very bad manners with re- gard to walking across the grass, tossing paper wrap- pers away, cutting up papers to throw on the floors, marking up desks and classroom walls, these men and women go about their duties, patiently keeping the dirt swept up and the desk tops varnished. You'll tind them on duty from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless the school has a game or other social events booked for the evening. ln that case, the men will be there to help at the gates, patrol the grounds, and make themselves generally useful. These folks play an important role on our campus. Give them credit, they deserve it!

imrluwr-www-i - f - THE BOARD OF CONTROL is anything but bored with its job of supervising PUHS students. Relaxed in chairs about the table are Webster, Price, lennings, Arnster, Burns-ey, Query, Butler, Dawson, Pain and Wong. Standing are Yee, Lee, Martin, Bryan, Pourchot, Wright, King, Brooks, Downs and Mr. Butler. Below 'what do 3500 students look like when they're corralled for a movie? Now you know! lt's Easier To Smile Than Frown. Surprisingly enough, it's rather hard to earn demerits on our campus! Rather, you are more likely to gather merit credits simply by living a normal, interested life here. Our Board of Control is definitely part of Phoenix Highs democratic system. This Board, composed of school and class officers, meets each day, devoting its time to helping students in adjusting themselves to the school. Q , .. t Perhaps meting out punishment may be its lot, but it strives to do even this only after a fair and careful consideration of each case. These governing students, by practicing what they preach, are learning the fundamentals of real democracy and are becoming leaders in conveying these ideas to their fellows. .. - 4. 5, wma
