BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS HE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS is a body of nine student executives who are elected by the members of the Student Association at the end of each semester. This board, under supervision of Miss Hannah Drewry, a faculty member, directs student activities and disciplinary measures for one term. Throughout the semester our officers have shown in their transaction of student business that they have fully complied with the expectations of the Student Associa- lion. Prominent among the accomplishments of the Commissioners are the following: a benefit football game to secure money for new band uniforms; a night theater rally for the first basketball game of the season; the abolition of Student Body noon dances on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the substitution of noon dances for all, every day of the week; and a Student Body program of school talent with a sho-boat as the theme. The fact that it has not been necessary to bring one case before the student court shows the respect the students have for their officers. The semester has been a remarkable one in many ways. The sale of Student Asso- ciation cards met with exceptional results, a record-breaking number of 720 students purchasing them, compared to 619 the previous semester. This increase speaks well not only for the students, but for the leaders, the Board of Commissioners. Bill McLaughlin has been the president of the Board this semester. The other officers have been Jess Gidley, vice-president; Mary Morri, secretary-treasurer; Paul Blank, commissioner of law and order; John O'Malley, commissioner of boys’ athletics; Alice Olson, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Gus Cakos, student judge; Geoffrey Yates, prosecuting attorney; Eleanor Brensel, auditor; and Muriel Dugan, social chairman. Fill McLaughlin, experienced football and basketball player on Richmond High’s athletic teams during the past three years, has been an excellent officer in presiding over Student Body meetings, programs, and general assemblies. Much of the credit for a term which has been noted for its good spirit is due to the leadership of the president and his board.

WINGED SHIELD A RESPONSIBILITY FAR GREATER than that given to the average boy rests upon the members of the Winged Shield Society. Created as an organization to promote the welfare of Richmond High, the society has become of great usefulness to the school. The Winged Shield Society is composed of boys who have been awarded the block R, the circle R, the managerial R, and boys who have been presidents of student organizations that have a member of the faculty as a sponsor. Their duties consist of handling traffic at athletic contests and taking care of ticket sales. During the past term the following boys served as officers: Don Bignall, president; John Ivancich, vice-president; Elton Brombacher, secretary.
