STUDENT GOVERNMENT EDWARD Cocxauifi President of Associf ated Students, who successfully piloted ship of State thru stormy fnancial session. Coming into office with a deficit in the budget of over 5400, the Executive Board of the past year proudly leaves office with a balanced budget. Thus, besides having administered one of the most active years in State history, the Board leaves the oihcers of next year a clean financial slate. Headed by the able leadership of President Edward Cockrum, studentfelected ofhcers were: Ruth Poulsen, vicefpresidentg Marian Irwin, secref tary, Daryl Hopkins, treasurer, George Mirande, athletic manager, Clarice Dechent, board of pub' licationsg and Bud Decker, yell leader. Inaugurating a new policy of direct board control over all State social functions, the Executive Board was amply rewarded by satisfying results. All four major dances showed clear profits, with the Junior Prom clearing 35165 to establish an allftime financial record. As a result of central control of the social calendar, not one club or student body activity was voted anything but a success. The policy of the present Board was to carry student government as far as possible. As President Cockrum said, For the past year, the Executive Board as a unit has strived to maintain a central government within the student body of State, where student problems could be thrashed out in student hands. The spirit displayed by the Board has been instrumental in placing State in a position where the college can challenge any college on the coast as to efficient administration. Among the most notable achievements of the Board was floating of the two million dollar build' ing campaign bill to adequately house San Francisco State. It may be said that members of the Executive Board fostered as their direct philosophy the wish to ably represent the associations, clubs and classes, from which they were sent all matters and problems pertaining to student life.

I THE LOWLY FROSH ED. NOTE: In the class sections, divisions have been made with reference to the graduates. Thus all other classes, as they now stand, will find themselves here moved back a half year in status. So there are two low freshman classes represented on these pages. At the beginning of the spring semester, 1937, two hundred and twentyftwo new students entered State to assume the name of Low Freshmen fand were they lowlj. During the first two weeks of the semester, these unfortunate creatures entertained upper classmen in initiation ceremonies and obeyed their ten commandments or else .... They finally lost the semifannual brawl to the upper classmen after a long hardffought battle. This scramble and the dance following it marked the ofhcial end of their hazing. ' After initiation into college life had been com' pleted, the class met to elect their officers and chose George Peters as their president. Other officers elected by the neophytes were: Frances Chichester, vicefpresident, Bill Preston, treasurer, Alex Stchelof koff, boys' representative, and Carolyn Searles, girls' representative. Now members of this class have really started to Ht into State activities under the leadership of Peters. Their first big piece of work was cofsponsorf ship of the Frosh Hop with the High Freshman class. Since their welcome, the interest of this class in student body affairs has been rapidly on the rise. The fall of 1936 had previously seen over two hundred freshmen enthusiastically entering State. Somewhat bewildered by the large and numerous buildings QEd. notezlllj and the prospects of the future fsuch as English A, aptitude, hazing, JANUARY '41: Row ONE: Saum, Weyman, Record, Schubert, Furgoli, Hickey, Mcagles, Werst, Row TWO: Peters, Sigerszm, Packinghorn, Ward, Krause, Preston, DePbillips, Cumming, Stcbelokoff. etc.j , the newcomers quickly became accustomed to college life. Firstly they chose Bill Ferem as president, Marge Kearney, vicefpresident, Grace Gustafson, secref tary, and Dick Quarg, treasurer. Then came the brawl and initiation . . . Both the girls and boys showed excellent sportsmanship and cooperation in making this a success. Even though they did lose the brawl, the frosh did have an excep' tionally fine turn out. As they became acquainted, the yearlings en' tered into various activities. From this class, twenty' three varsity footballers turned out to make names for themselves and fame for State. Firstfstring men included: Bill Ferem, center, Bill Abbey, quarter' back, Dick Quarg, end, and Billy Hammond, halff back. All will return next year to make a bigger and better State squad. Curt 'Zahn and Bill Rowlands acted as managers. Other athletes and their activities included Bill Hammond, forward on the basketball team, Ken Iohnson, guard on the varsity casaba squad, and SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE IfPage Fortytwoil
