4 Poc:A'1'111.1,1Ax RULON Lansisw ERMA Biuxcocic - Bois NIs1LsoN TVIADONNA Foko Student Body Officers NDILR this group of capable officers Poky High has closed one of its most brilliant years in the history of the school. To them the student body owes great thanks, for they have directed their time and efforts to raising the standards of loyalty, of scholarship, and of citizenship. Rulon Larsen has most crcditably lcd the student body, and he has guided the school conservatively and loyally. He has never cnce lteiitated in his line of duty, and his willingness to cooperate with the student and faculty alike, has placed him high in the esteem of fellow students and school officials. Through the leadership of Rulon and with the help of the senate, the court, and members of the faculty, student government has been extremely competent. The executive branch of the government is an agency through which the wishes of the students may be expressed. Bob Neilson, vice-president of the student body, and president of the senate, helped to perfect student cooperation in a great many ways. Bob, always a help to Rulon, was able to carry on the work of the president when the need arose. As president of the senate, he proved himself an excellent presiding officer, and must be praised for the handling of this body in such a fine manner, and for the work that was accomplished under his supervision. All stenographic and secretarial work was done by Madonna Ford. She kept the records of the student body and the minutes of the senate. The constitution of all organizations and a great many other important documents were in her care. At the beginning of the year, she saw that every organiza- tion kept minutes of its meetings and posted them regularly on the bulletin boards. She, also, helped clubs, in which no one could type, find someone to make typed copies of their records. Madonna capably handled the office of secretary. As student body treasurer, Erma Babcock held one of the most responsible positions in the school. She was, also, the president of the school bank and chairman of the Finance Committee. Her books were in good order with the money always accounted for. Each monthly report was accurate and very complete in details. She is very worthy of all praise, for this position, taking care of the large sums of money deposited in :he school bank, has been a difficult and hard onc. l95l -sf 21 Isa
