At The Helm HereWe Live Cur Democracy Best way to teach democracy and the Amer- ican way of life is to practice itl Hundreds of Phoenix Union High Students each year estab- lish the truth of that premise. With our Board of Control and Student Council acting out government by, for, and of the students eve- ry Phoenician was part of democratic process. GUIDING lights of the student body include Kent Olsen, president, Carlos Yturalde, vice president, Evangeline Yee, secretary: and Joe Benitas, rep- resentative-at-large for Phoenix Union. When a student violates a rule, he will be judged without prejudice by jurors who understand his problems and will give him every benefit of the doubt. Student Council representatives meet regularly to discuss and legislate for student body progress. Through representatives, students voice their opinions.

Budgeteer ACCOUNTS square up neatly under direction of Business Mgr. Carl Allen. Budget wise and wary is Mr. Carl Allen, unit business manager under whose supervision thousands of dollars in student funds are handled each week. But teachers, administra- tors, and students long since have learned that it you go about this business of high finance with reasonable caution and follow the accept- able procedure, everything will go smoothly. Happy, too, are those who seek school sup- plies at our well-stocked Bookstore. Many are the bargains in books, paper, and sundry items. The Bookstore also houses a handsome trophy case and the walls are lined with attractive pictures of current student body leaders. More appealing, however, than the decorations in the Bookstore are the pleasant clerks there. CUSTOMERS are never lacking at the Bookstore, But then, neither is the service! Here students get prompt attention from smiling, efficient clerks Amy Armstrong, Violet Harding, Sunny Boatman, and K. E. Hirst.
