COMMITTEE mirez. man, Lee Carlile. Knowles. MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE A clean-up campaign was the most important event sponsored by the Maintenance Committee, which consisted of twenty members under the leadership of Paul Moor- head, commissioner of boys’ athletics. The war against dirty lockers, started when the committee organized in the fall term, was continued on a larger scale during the spring semester. Lockers were inspected, and warrants were issued to people who had dirty lockers. All students failing to cooperate with the committee were summoned to appear before the student court. By making students conscious that a clean school is an asset to themselves and their community, the Maintenance Committee contributed greatly to the appearance of the school. The committee held two business meetings and gave one party during the term. STAGECRAFT Preparing scenery for programs, planning lighting effects, making costumes, and taking care of the stage and auditorium doors are but a few of the many duties mem- bers of the stagecraft class are called upon to do. Stagecraft aims to develop a sense of responsibility in students, and to enable them to learn something about stage designs, the application of color, and the practical em- ployment of stage equipment. This term the group consisted of six students, who met first period every day. Miss Vivian Carlson was the sponsor of the group.

YELL LEADERS | For the third consecutive term in the history of R. U. H.S., a girl, Virginia Molino, served as head yell leader. | Virginia and her assistant, Frank Scott, inspired school spirit at the basketball games by leading the yells and the school songs. They also led yells at award assemblies. | With the help of physical education teachers, the cheer leaders organized a pre-game rally the day before the Berkeley-Richmond basketball game. | Virginia and Frank are to be congratulated for the excellent job of rousing school spirit they did this semester. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Under the splendid leadership of Jim Hayward, president, and the competent supervision of Mr. William Bush, in- structor, members of the Photography Club had a very entertaining and success- ful term. Their many activities included field trips, print contests, and various demon- strations of chemicals used in photo- eraphic work. The Photography Club, which met three days a week during sixth period, had a membership of fifteen students this semester. Visitors were cordially invited to at- tend club meetings.
