HONOR SOCIETY By continuing the bi-weekly meetings begun last semester, the Honor Society has become better acquainted. The organization has voted to establish a custom of having the new Honor Society members of each quarter present a program. With Alex Trolese, program chairman, the new members of the first quarter gave a one-act play entitled “A Sisterly Scheme”, directed by Catherine Malloy. Pearl Anderson was appointed chairman for the new members’ program presented January 106. Anthony Ormaso was president during the semester; William Parker, vice-president, first quarter; and Anita Bravin, vice-president, second quarter; and Delphina Franco, secretary-treasurer, for the semester. Two high senior girls, Fumiko Sugihara and Delphina Franco, each received a platinum pin, the highest honor award, during the first quarter; four low senior girls, Stella Anellini, Grace Fregulia, Jane Jenkins and Bertha Pedrotti, received the plat- inum pin during the second quarter. Twenty new members received Honor Society membership certificates the first quarter, and fourteen new members received awards the second quarter. Fifty-five students were Honor Society members the first quarter and the names of seventeen sophomores were on the Honor Roll. Fifty-four students attained Honor Society mem- bership the second quarter and thirty-six sophomores were listed on the Honor Roll.

ComMisstoNers—Standing: Anderson, L. Moore, Johansen, Brombacher, Archibald, Hoeffer. Seated: Fregulia, Schwartz, J. Williams, N. Williams. 2 | ey a! am | COMMISSIONERS With Elton Brombacher as presiding officer, the Richmond High ship of state has moved through a most eventful term. Brombacher’s staff of commissioners, of whom six are graduating seniors, has been: Ed Johansen, vice-president; Nadine Williams, secretary-treasurer; Vernon Archibald, prosecuting attorney; Leonard Anderson, com- missioner of boys’ athletics; Jean Williams, commissioner of girls’ athletics; Frank Hoeffer, student judge; Violet Schwartz, social chairman; Loyd Moore, commissioner of law and order; and Grace Fregulia, auditor. Writing letters and keeping the minutes of Student Body meetings and commission- ers’ meetings were the duties of Nadine Williams. Her work was a credit to the office. The duties of vice-president are few, but they are a necessary part of the student government. Ed Johansen served as vice-president. As there was only one commissioner’s slip issued this term, Vernon Archibald and Loyd Moore were able to devote their time to other work. The commissioner of boys’ athletics must be willing to give up much time to his office. Leonard Anderson had a busy as well as successful term in his office. Promoting girls’ athletics was the work done by Jean Williams. The student judge must preside at all student trials. This duty was performed by Frank Hoeffer. The excellent program given to Student Body members this fall was directed by the social chairman, Violet Schwartz. The task of holding the purse strings and keeping straight all accounts of various organizations in the school is no small undertaking. However, Grace Fregulia made a conscientious and competent auditor. In addition to their individual responsibilities, the commissioners work as a unit in guiding the policies and activities of the Student Association. That their work was well done was evident throughout the term. The commissioners were assisted by Miss Hannah Drewry, adviser. ——

THE FORUM Members of the Forum have improved noticeably in public speaking as a result of the practice they have had this term. This club is maintained to help students ex- press themselves before a group. Many people who have run for Student Body positions have found their training a great aid when making their introductory speeches. The Forum has had a successful term under the leadership of Loyd Moore, presi- dent; William Parker, vice-president; and Eugenia Floyd, secretary. Faculty advisers were Mrs. Parrill, Miss Nunn, and Miss Alexander.
