' ' emma wmmce ammdlee From behind the counter at the student store to the little brown ticket booth at the football stadium, members of the Finance Com- mittee could be seen busy at work. The Finance Committee headed by Terrie Worth, Commissioner of Finance, was the largest in the history of Redwood. Committee members have proved themselves very active this year by participating in the following activties: ticket selling and receipt collecting at all home football and basketball games, selling and distributing student body pictures and student body cards, selling bus and game tickets for out of town football and basketball games, assisting in the preparation of the school budget, helping in the distribution of all money spent for student body activities and gaining invaluable knowledge in the involved process of man- aging a budget. With students actively participating in the management of the school treasury, valuable experience in monetary affairs as well as efficiency was achieved in the financial branch of the associated stu- dent hody. Advising this committee vsas Mr, John Cook. 1961 saw more perfected elections than had been held ever be- fore at Redwood. The year started off with a mock Presidential election, complete with pre-voting registering and the same printed ballots that were used throughout the state. A wall was set aside for each candidate's posters and the library featured a display on both parties. This election was overwhelmingly won by Richard Nixon. Due to more efficient methods, those running for ofhce in the two Student Body and two class elections held were able to know the results sooner than before and all nervous waiting was eliminated. The Student Body voted to change the previous election schedule and hold elections for fall class officers in May instead of Septem- ber. They also voted to have each candidate running for class office give a speech at an individual class rally. The smoothness with which this year's elections were run was partly due to the work of the Commissioner of Elections, Jerry Whitney, his energetic spring and fall committees. D. Diller, S. Chambers.

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.

The main purpose of the l'ublic Relations Committee this past year was to inform the student body and faculty of all the major athetic contests. dances. and other such significant events by creating and distributing posters along Redwood's corridors and occasionally in local store windows. Usually occupying an art room or the halls and walls thereabouts. the members of this committee applied their art skills and creativeness by first rubbing art gum erasers down to tiny crumbs while trying to formulate ideas, then by spreading tempera paint or making wild, screeching noises with magic markers on wide rolls of white butcher paper. Commissioner Mike Spencer also provisoned for a more thorough local newspaper coverage by establishing a special sub-committee, headed by Pete l'ike. which gathered worthy news items and forwarded them to Redwood's Student News liureau, managed by Jeff Skov and Penny West. The latter journalists were responsible for writing and delivering the stories to such papers as the INDEPENDENT JOURNAL, ROSS VALLEY TIMES, 'I'l- IRURON PELICAN, and the MILL VALLEY RECORD. The Public Relations Committee provided the decorations for the Student Leaders' Conference held at Redwood in November and brought more sup- port to the spring sports by creating posters for the various baseball, swim- ming. and track events.

The only peo- ple left were the football players out rolling in the mud and the office secre- taries madly typing away. But if one journeyed down to the art room. things were a little different. A babble of voices Could be heard and as one gazed at the rushing students, splashing colors, and the piles of posters. it could be only one thing, the Spirit Committee was in action. During the early fall it was organized to Complement the Public Relations Committee. With unlimited membership. it soon became one of the most active organizations at Redwood. Cracking the whip was fall head yell-leader, Bob Talmadge. The hours after school spent making posters and spirit rib- bons were rewarded when the football games came around. The sight of the cheering section's card stunts was impressive, And the smile that went from ear to ear on llob Talmadge's face meant success. Then in December. Ronie Sue Anderson took over and her spirit must have been infectious as the committee kept up its pace of spirited projects for basketball season. lt was the tirst year of the spirit committee and its activities made it first in Spirit at Redwood High School 1961.
