Questions involving awards, finance, or any school activity must first pass the Ex Board by a two- thirds vote before any new measures regarding them may go into elfeet. One of the most important decisions made by this group during the current semester, January to June, 1931, was the changing of the Elm from a semi-annual to an annual publication, and the appropriation of funds to carry out this enterprise. The board passed on the awarding of blocks to the l30's and unlimited hasketh-all teams, as well as awarding gold basket- balls to the N. C. F. champions. Owing to its support, the Engineers' Club is now allowed to collect dues from its members, and this enables the club to secure more money to he used l'or promoting its interests. The members ol' this group consist of faculty and students. Mr. McCon- ville, Mr. Blanchard, Miss N0l't0ll, Miss Cummings, and Mr. Moore are the faculty members. All the elected and appointed student body ollicers are student members. Among them are: Thorton Posey, Student Body Presi- dentg Bob Smith, Vice-Presidentg Eva Azevedo. Secretaryg Herman Jolin, Treasurerg Elmer VVilliams, Auditorg Anna Uhbe, Editor ol' the Elm g VValter Hunter, Orchestra and Band Managerg Jack Kuhn, Dramatics Man- agerg Betty Bennett, President of the Associated Girl Students, John Gard, President ot' the Associated Boy Studentsg Morton Hart, Chairman ol' the Rally Committeeg Edith Hall, Girls' Athletic Managerg Herbert Goldman, Boys' Athletic Manager.

School Grounds and .Auditorium rru the p1'oposed auditorium looming into sight, and landscape work being accomplished, San Mateo High School is rapidly attaining an air of dignity. All eyes will soon turn to admire the institution and its surroundings, and when final plans are completed, the school will not ap- pear as a place of drudgery to students, but as a beautiful institution of learning. A possibility of a fall bond issue may hurry the erection of the audi- torium, and, if the missle finds its mark, San Mateo will soon boast of one of the finest assembly buildings in the state. According to plans, the build- ing must have a seating capacity of fifteen hundred persons, thereby enab- ling community affairs to be housed in the auditorium with assurance of ample seating room. As no one architect's plans have been accepted, exact drawings for the assembly hall are not yet available. Tentative details per- taining to the erection of the auditorium have been outlined, and included in the building will be two music rooms located beneath the stage for or- chestra and band purposes. A balcony, holding five hundred people, also appears in the proposed drawings, and a magnificent foyer at the entrance of the hall will add dis- tinction to the gathering place. Modern euipment including curtains, stage sets, and lighting facilities will be installed after the completion of the audi- torium. Dressing rooms will be located on both sides of the large stage. The development of the auditorium will undoubtedly be the first im- provement in the school dist1'ict, when the bond issue is passed, and dreams of students and alumni will come to life. Situation of the proposed building will be directly in front of the present gymnasium on the extreme west side. Portals to the hall will open on Delaware street. Through the interest of the school board, Superintendent Martin, and Principal McConville, many distinct improvements in the San Mateo Junior College, Burlingame High School, a.nd San Mateo High School have been 111ade. A new turf on the Poplar avenue site has recently been completed, and is scheduled to be ready for gridiron competition this fall. Bleachers are being raised to support ardent fans, and all will be in preparedness for the coming pigskin battles. The completion of the swimming pool and ap- paratus has also been made within the last year, and corresponding improve- ments have been carried out at the other schools as well as at San Mateo High School. An additional 341000 may be spent next year in furthering ground de- velopment around the school, and beauty will increase twofold after the landscape work is completed. At the present time, beautiful plants ornament the courts between the school buildings, and each crevice and eranny is decorated by some plant or flower. Paths, lined with artistic brick and cov- ered with shell, wind about the flower beds, and foundations and rubbish receivers in the form of vases are found at comfortable intervals. Senior gifts, presented to the school by graduates, also decorate the school and further its beauty. Included in the presents are sun dials, placques, orna- mental benches, and other suitable accessories. Nearing the peak of perfection, San Mateo, by covering former bare brick walls and plowed grounds, will gain notabilityg but it has only been through the kind cooperation of hard-working citizens that this scheme of beautification is being carried on in such a whole-hearted manner as to push this necessary educational machine to completion. lTiic Elml fi awww, , ' ' ice' ' he ........LM.g... ...mxwr
