Several definite accomplish- ments have been made through their efforts. In their disciplinary capacity, they have met efficiently every problem that has arisen. The fact that only two cases have been brought before the Student Court, and that the commissioners have been removed from the halls speaks well for the attitude of the students, and for the leadership of the officers. The Board has presented two Student Body programs of school talent. An- other phase of their work has been the establishment of noon dances in the Com- munity Theater every Friday besides Monday and Wednesday. Jack Haase has been president of the Board this semester. Other officers have been Robert Martin, vice-president; Muriel Dugan, secretary-treasurer; Wil- bur Hosmer, commissioner of law and order; Donald Bignall, commissioner of boys’ athletics; Linda Roberto, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Donald Mc- Nany, student judge; Royce Pummill, prosecuting attorney; Rose Bartolo, auditor. Miss Drewry and Miss Stockton have served as faculty advisers to the commissioners. GIRLS’ LEAGUE EIGHT YEARS AGO the Girls’ League was formed for the purpose of serving the school and the community. Every girl in the High School is a member of this organization. The leaders of the Girls’ League this term were: Marion Gordon, president; Valerie Bennetts, vice president; and Eleanor Brensel, secretary. The first meeting was held February 7, and the main feature was the talk on “The Ideas of a Scientist” by Dr. Anita Laton, head of the Science Department of University High School in Oakland. Completing the program was a trumpet duet by James Brien and Bill Anderson, with Alden Pratt as the accompanist. On April 11, the Girls’ League held their second meeting. A violin solo was given by Patricia Knox, accompanied by Anne Erich. Miss Brooke then spoke on the “New Deal” and the personality of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. THE HI-NUS HAVING PUBLISHED eighteen issues of the Hi-Nus and the semi-annual book, the journalism class regards the Spring semester of news writing as an accom- plishment. With Miss Norine Buchanan as instructor, the class of twenty stu- dents has put out a special Saint Patrick’s Day edition, an eight page Public Schools Week edition, sent representatives to the Press Convention at the Uni- versity of California, and exchanged weekly papers with more than 50 schools. George Odell served as editor of the Hi-Nus, assisted by Grace Childs, busi- ness manager, Alden Pratt and Jack McKune advertising managers, Alyce Bur- kett, circulation manager, and Jim Miller, make-up editor. The remainder of the staff consisted of Margaret Jenkins, feature editor; Charles Jacobs and Phil Goettel, boys’ sports editors; Angelina Mazzei, girls’ sports editor; Gladys Valencia, alumni editor; Amy Schwarz, school notes editor; Ruth Robinson, humor editor; Catherine Healy and Ruth Van Marter, exchange editors; James Havey, headline writer; Margaret Casey and Bernice Jaramillo, proof readers; Catherine Fasanaro and Margaret Duarte, typists.
