The Student Body The record of the Student Body administration of the past year has been one of a smooth, efficient machine. The fact that there have been few summons- slips, arrests, trials, and convictions in evidence does not bespeak a lax enforcement policy, but rather a greater respect for the law of the school and fewer violations than most schools can boast. The commissioners for the fall semester were: President, William Logan ; vice-president, Paul Basham; secretary-treasurer, Esther Malianni; law and order, Mitchell Milicevich; boys’ athletics, Paul Villalovos; girls’ athletics, Lucille Muth; public utilities, William Abbay; social affairs, Treva Meyers; prosecuting attor- ney, Harold Shawl; and judge, Howard Hughes. Those who governed during the spring semester were: President, William Abbay; vice-president, Jack Lehmkuhl; secretary-treasurer, Treva Meyers; law and order, Robert Caldwell; boys’ athletics, William Milicevich; girls’ athletics, Anna Lee; public utilities, Victor Ludwig; social affairs, Frankie Jackson; prose- cuting attorney, Robert Wren and judge, James Cryan. The Student Body meetings were invariably eventful, beginning with affairs of business and usually concluding with a varied program of musical instruments, addresses, or community singing under the direction of Miss Woodward. Demon- strating more than ever their ability to transact their own business, the students carried through a financially and athletically successful year. When they were faced with the urgent necessity of expensive football and basketball equipment, they turned out wholeheartedly and produced a remunerative carnival. Student Body membership was large throughout the year, and altogether, the real Rich- mond spirit was always present. The Honor Society The Honor Society, having been organized in October, 1922, is now in the fourth year of its existence. Its purpose is to promote scholarship and citizenship in this school. The society has averaged about forty members this year. In August, 1925, the officers were: President, Marvin Shock; vice-president, Kathryn Snodgrass ; secretary-treasurer, Fern Scarlett. One change in the officers was made during the second quarter when the vice-president was made president. Those who guided the destiny of the society through the second semester were: President, Irene Meldrum; vice-president, Muriel Moran, succeeded during the last half of the semester by Ernest Barbieri; scretary-trasurer, Mildred Lemley, whose place was taken by Alex Poulsen. Eleven students wear the white pin, the highest honor awarded by the society. They are Fern Scarlett, Madge Baker, Naomi Mahnke, Francis Dahlen, Ruth Rector, Kathryn Snodgrass, Lucille Muth, Evelyn Kalin, Bernice Goldsworthy, Dorothy LeGault and Esther Poulsen. The members have enjoyed several parties this year, including two weinic roasts. The crowning feature of the social affairs last semester was the party given in honor of the Faculty and Honor Roll just before Christmas. After a program consisting of various stunts, musical numbers, and games, the opening of the curtains revealed a beautifully lighted Christmas tree holding a favor for each one present. One feature of this semester’s activities which was thoroughly enjoyed was the indoor picnic. The students are trying harder than ever to keep their pins each quarter. This is due to the fact that ownership requires that the pins be retained four quarters, including one quarter in the last semester. Twenty-seven |
