GIRL ' S SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD Something d which to be proud! The girls of Samohi governed entirely by a Senior Advisor) Board, made up of Junior and Senior girls. (iirls out of uniform are promptly taken care of by our capable Uniform Dress Committee, a body which seems cruelly to issue demerits. One cannot loiter in the halls, nowadays, not with our serious looking hall guards or, shall we say, policewomen ? One even has to eat her lunch on the school grounds now, for it is extremely hard to get by the eagle eyes of the girls on the Grounds Committee. A very stern and judicious body of girls make up our seven rotating courts, a different court each Wednesday. Each court consists of one judge, six jurors, a clerk, and a girl who takes shorthand notes. One has to be careful what one says, for now everything that is said goes down on paper. The first semester the Board was very capably managed by our Chairman, Mary Cogle] ; Vice-Chairman, Helen Wegener; and Secretary, Evelyn Harris. This last semester the clerical work of the Board is under the supervision of two Executive Secretaries, Eva Stinton and Betty Swearingen. This is a new system and seems to be proving wholly satisfactory. Helen Wells and Helen Wegener are Presi- dent and Vice-President respectively. I he Board has done, is doing, and will continue to do much for the girls of Samohi. It deserves a great deal of praise and appreciation.

BOYS ' SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD The Boys Senior Advisory Board is composed of about one hundred boys, whose purpose is to promote good citizenship throughout the school. This group is divided into four committees as follows : 1. The Hall Committee checks all hall conditions during class periods. 2. The Traffic Committee controls and directs all school traffic. 3. The Bounds Committee supervises the enforcement of bounds rules dur- ing the noon period. 4. The Grounds Committee is responsible for maintaining the buildings and grounds in a neat and attractive condition. The Sophomore Class is the main organization of this committee. In addition to these committees, the entire Board is divided into five sections, each of which serves in the various periods as a student court. These courts are organized in the same manner as a regular city court with a judge, clerk and a bailiff. All questions of student discipline and citizenship are pre- sented to these courts for action. The Senior Advisory Board is led by the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the Boys ' League, with a faculty member as the advisor.
