Ol OO 3 The self-government of Redwood High School had been the ruling association of the Redwood Student Body. This body was composed of several committees with various duties. Some of the divisions with this branch of student government were the Hall, Parking Lot, and the Athletic Events Committees. In nineteen-fifty-nine and nineteen-sixty Redwood had a different type of student government. This government was composed of two parts. One was Boys Self-Government and the other was Girls Self-Government. Since that time it has been reorganized and now it is one organization. Serving as heads of this branch government were George O ROW ONE: T. Wade, P. Pike, D. Simon, N. Grifhth, J. Glazier, T. Kearns. ROW TWO: R. Siegel, D. Deane, R Sims, A. French, G. Cole, P.

CQ- Govmumeul Cole and Chris Lewis. They were appointed by Redwood's Student Body Presidents and assumed the duties of supervis- ing the activities of this part of the government. One duty of self-government came in the area of athletics. Here they attended all sporting events and maintained good order. During the noon hour, supervision of the parking lot fell under one of the committees. Another active part of this branch of student government was detailed to keep the upper hall clear during the lunch hour. The self-government was designed and organized so it would serve the students in making their school a better one. ROW ONE: D. Herst, R. Woods, A. French, N. Griiiith, T. Wade, M. Deedy, C. Lewis, D.

It was on the initiative of Vice-President, Don Deane that this council was finally formed. Comprised of the Commissioners of Finance, Social Ac- tivities, Elections, Public Relations, and Athletics, all club presidents and class vice-presidents, this group attempted to coordinate all of Redwood's activities. Every cake, do-nut, and lolly-pop sale had to be first approved by the Activities Council and the dates were assigned to the sponsors. The activities Council was responsible for seeing that each dance held at Redwood, such as the Freshman Bongo Beat , and all car washes, rallies, and contests were at a time that was favorably coordinated with all other events. In other words, the council was responsible for keeping a running calendar of all school affairs. One of the activities molded in the minds of the council this past year was the Christmas hall decorating contest be- tween the four classes. Members decided that the Junior Class deserved the ten dollar prize. Selecting the dates for the Senior Ball, the Junior Prom, and the annual Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Rallies was another task this group undertook during the second semester. ROW ONE: N.

I see that you've been signed-up by self-government for spfireding in the parking lot. What have you to say for your- sel ? Well, I uh, um . . . , the defendant mumbled. I object! It's irrevelant, incompetent and immaterial! Redwood High School Student Court is in session. A committee of six, advised by Mr. Jack Baat, and headed by Rodrigo the first semester and Pat Wheary the sec- ond semester, they try students accused of misdemeanors by self-government members. Working closely with self- government, Student Court is a vital part of self-govern- ment. It simply enforces the by-laws of the Constitution of Redwood Associated Students. After the Student Body President appoints the members and the head of Student Court at the beginning of each semester, the Executive Council votes its approval or rejec- tion of the appointments. The duties of the Court were more limited during the spring semester as self-government became no longer re- sponsible for smoking sign-ups, but the Court continued to try people signed up for speeding, littering, and misbehav- ing at rallies. The Court Ends you guilty. You have been sentenced to watch Perry Mason for 20 years ! ROW ONE: B. Nicholson, P. Wheary, J. Skov, K. Frost. ROW TWO: J. Osborn, K. Bricca, D. Flowers.
