One of the many problems facing the board is the development of plans to meet an anticipated growth in student population. PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE Th heart of every school is its curriculum. The subjects taug The chief achieve ht and the extra e curricular activities connected with each subject can determine the success or failure of a person in the post school years.

TUDENT GOVERNMENT The student government of Ripon Union High School, for the past fourteen years. has been patterned after the Fed- eral Government of the United States. The advisor and originator of this successful student government is the speech instructor, Mr. Ernest Poletti. The President, elected by the student body, appoints his cabinet which is as follows: vice president, secretary of records, secretary of entertainment, secretary of notifica- tions, secretary of rallys, chief justice, chief of police, baliff, supreme court. prosecuting attorney. and defense attorney. The officers perform duties as in the Federal Govern- ment system. The vice president presides over the congress. The cabinet and president may discuss bills, but only the cabinet may vote with the rest of congress. The congress is made up by the individual states, the activities and classes of the school. Two representatives from each class and each activity are elected to the congress. This school year of 1953-1954, although starting a little roughly, turned out to be a very successful year. Jim O'Berg, student body president, asked the cabinet to as- sume the duties of the police force and to enforce the laws. Action of this type by a student body president was un- precedented and proved to be successful. Two important bills were passed in congress improving the student government. One was to have all the congress, except the freshman congressmen, elected at the same time the student body president is elected. This enables congress to go in session earlier in the school year. The other bill was that all congressmen. when elected, are automatically policemen. This now gives us a law enforcement group, and a major improvement in the student government of Ripon Union High School.
