JACK MACKEY Student Body President Girls’ League... THE Girts’ LEAGUE, organized in 1926 to es- tablish friendship among the girls of Rich- mond High, was ably presided over this past term by Gloria Perrero, president. The other officers were Betty Calfee, vice- president; Patricia Bradbury, secretary; and Uldine Peterson, social-chairman. Uldine presented three very entertaining programs: a Valentine program, a fashion show, and a play. The Valentine program consisted of a series of tableaus depicting the various kinds of val- entines sent in different eras. A large blackboard and several books served as a background for the Spring fashion show. The girls of the clothing classes made the dresses that they modeled. “So This Is Hollywood,” a comedy which dealt with a day in the life of a typical movie idol’s wife, was presented by a group of girls interested in dramatics. The girls were coached by Mrs. M. Pearson. This play marked the end of one of the most successful terms in the history of Girls’ League. SCHOOL GOVERNMENT Commissioners... R. U. H. S. activities were ably led this term by nine commissioners working under the Student Body President, Jack Mackey. In addition to the three dances which were planned by Betty Nielsen, Commissioner of Social Affairs, the students enjoyed a movie, a variety show, and a one-act play. Several noon concerts in which promising student talent was displayed were presented. The commissioners for the Spring 1941 term were: President, Jack Mackey; Vice- President, Ralph Hill; Secretary-Treasurer, Betty Raynolds; Commissioner of Law and Order, Ed Seger; Commissioner of Social Af- fairs, Betty Nielsen; Commissioner of Girls’ Athletics, Angie Poloni; Commissioner of Boys’ Athletics, Johnny DeFabio; Student Judge, Richard Maxwell; Prosecuting Attor- ney, Earl Kelleghan; and Head Yell Leader, Marilyn Fuglestad.
