With the purpose of promoting the welfare of the school in mind, the Winged Shield this term proved itself to be a worthy organization. Lead by Andy Cakos, president; Creed Baxter, vice-president; and Richard Harris, secretary, the Winged Shield car- ried out its various activities. The Vigilante Committee, formed by and composed of members of the Winged Shield, maintained order at athletic events and Student Body programs. Norman “Red” Strader, head coach of Saint Mary’s, spoke at the annual banquet, held May 22. Other guests included Mr. Tucker and Mr. Williams; Coaches Ribbel, Pas- coe, and Hempler; and Dr. C. E. Rutledge, who presented the Winged Shield certifi- cates. To be eligible for membership, boys must have attained at least a 2-11 standing. In addition, they must hold a block R, two B letters, or be a commissioner or yell leader. Actively organized since 1928, the Library Girls contribute greatly to the daily management of the library. Headed by Delight Myers, president; Thelma Torretta, vice-president; Mary Fer- nandez, secretary; and Katherine La Mancusa, social chairman, the group enjoyed a very successful semester. | Included in this term’s social activities were an ice skating party, a dinner at the home of Delight Myers, a theater party, and the traditional semi-annual Senior Ban- quet, held May 16, in honor of Delight Myers and Thelma Torretta, graduating seniors, and their mothers.

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.

Of the seventy students who attained membership in the Honor Society this semester, sixteen won platinum pins, the highest award obtainable in the society. They were: Bill Bass, Tony Bernabich, Ruth Bibbins, Ernie Bozic, Donald Ewing, Mildred Farris, Barbara Healy, Helen Hirth, Kenneth Holland, Betty Hon- singer. Dorothy Juan Jones, Leicester Lipp, Wilda Mann, Delbert Patterson, Ruby Pinochi, and Thelma Torretta. Throughout the term meetings were held every two weeks. Officers for the first quarter were: Robert Keller, president; Francis Enright, vice-president; Frances Geb- hart, secretary; and Leicester Lipp, social chairman. Re-elected again for the second quarter, President Robert Keller was assisted by Gloria Perero, vice-president; Marcelle Clements, secretary; and Leicester Lipp, social chairman. Members of the Honor Society voted that members of the Honor Roll be given Honor Society certificates, signifying their membership in the group. Coaching was one of the services rendered this term by members of the Honor Society to students who, due to absence, had fallen behind in their work. On February 16, Mr. Stanley Warberton, assistant superintendent of schools in Contra Costa county, addressed the Honor Society on “Vocations.” On March 29, Mr. Whitnah, a member of the Contra Costa Development Association, showed slides of Contra Costa and discussed the development of the county. During the term two swimming parties, an ice skating party, and a party in Orinda were enjoyed by members of the group. Miss Weatherby was faculty adviser.
