eo ee ee ee FALL COMMISSIONERS The Board of Commissioners, consisting of the Student Body president, seven commissioners, the prosecuting judge, and the auditor, is the elected group which accounts for the finances and programs of the Student Body of Richmond Union High School, and all the activities of the Student Association. It is the voverning body of the school. One of the most interesting events prepared by the commissioners during the fall was the big bonfire rally which was held before the Technical High School football game. As it was the first time the gymnasium had been used, a regular open house was held, and most of the students and their parents appeared at the affair. In addition, the commissione rs have done many other less spectacular things in their daily routine. At the beginning of the semester the problem of clearing and maintaining order in the halls during the sixth and seventh periods was success- fully solved by them. They also enforced the rule of not allowing the students to leave the school grounds without permit slips. They are indeed an essential part of Richmond Union High School. For the fall term the commissioners were: Claude Ford, Student Body pres- ident; Pearl Terry, vice-president; Addie Ramey, secretary-treasurer , Alberta McCormac, commissioner of social affairs; Carroll Carr, commissioner of law and order: William Simonson, manager of boys’ athletics; Margaret Errington, man- ager of girls’ athletics; Warren Brown, student judge, and Harley Long, commis- sioner of public utilities. Despite the consequent confusion, attendant on moving and settling in a new home, these commissioners succeeded in putting through an excellent semester program. Thirteen

THE LIBRARY The library is one of the most important parts of our new high school, for it is used continually by many students. It is a spacious, well lighted room. Book shelves line three walls. An air of culture is created in the room by a tapestry, paint- ing, and statues; bowls of fresh flowers add beauty and color. The tables and chairs are arranged to the best advantage for the students. In the quietness and beauty of the library, there is an atmosphere conducive to study. Each period there is a girl in the library for the purpose of showing, the students where to find books, and to deal with difficulties that arise concerning the operation of the library. These girls also check the attendance list and ch: irge out books that the students wish to use. The girls who assist in the library have organized a club. The officers for last fall were: Hilda Smersfeldt, president; Edith Teese, secretary. For the spring term the officers were: Clara Johnson, president ; Hermine Iespiiola, secretary. The library girls during the last year were: Wilda Eby, Marietta Eisenberger, Hermine E spinola, Edith Jakobsson, Clara Johnson, Virginia Lee, Martha Masek, Dorothy Mickey, Ada Patterson, Ruth Sandige, Hilda Smersfeldt, Violet Steeves, and Edith Teese. As a result of the late organization of the library girls’ club, only one party was held in the fall term, on November 21. The party was preceded by a Thanks- giving dinner. The first party of the spring semester was held on February 21. After witnessing a basketball game, a pleasing dinner was served. The decorative scheme was carried out in the colors red, white and blue, in honor of W ashington’s Birth- day, and dainty colonial men and maidens made up the favors. 3esides having several parties during the spring semester, the library girls worked on a play, “Old Maids,’ which they plan to give before the school.
