Blue and Gold Day! Over eight hundred members of Vikesville are of the male species-and eight hundred males cannot be ignored. Thus it happens that the smooth- ly functioning Boys' League is a powerful influence on life at Samohi. Their work is both routine and exciting, ranging from the every day job of keeping the campus clean and enforcing the school rules to Student court in action! the more glamorous task of staging the Talent Show and sponsoring Blue and Gold Day. But whatever they do, they do well. And their activities this year have continued to be as varied and as valuable as they have been in years past. So viva Boys' League! Long may your activities be as successful and your presence as delightful! WINTER CABINET-ROW 1: Werner, E. Kaplan, Mullen, McElroy, Troy, Burke. ROW 2: Armitage, Provost, Godino Turk, Pinatelli, Mr. Day, adviser.

The Associated Student Body Executive Board held its first regular meeting on February 9, 1948, with President Melvin Lewis breaking in the new gavel. Assisting him were Vice-president Manuel Carbajal and Secretary Iris Lytle. Girls' League President Mary Lou Narveson and Boys' League President Alvin Baldock were also present at that hrst meeting, when the following commissioners were voted in: Boys' Athletics, Jim Fisher, Finance, Bob Lloyd, Girls' Athletics, Rose Marie Block, and Publications Commissioner, Tom McDermott. After class elections, Rae Heimbeck and Pat Ryan, repre- senting the senior A's and B's, joined the cabinet. The following week Bob Stanchfield and Bernie Remmer, other class presidents, were admitted along with Dodie Jensen, Commissioner of Entertainment, and John Thompson, Commissioner of Forensics. Their quota filled, the board was ready to begin business. First on their agenda was Mr. Veenkerls explan- ation of student finances, which was particularly important as the cabinet was destined to be greatly concerned with student funds. The chief topic for discussion during the semester was whether a cen- 1flWl74flB7 tral fund under control of the cabinet should be established or whether each club and organization should have separate funds. The board recommend- ed the highest football budget in the history of Samohi-5294000-and made plans to take over the football account for this semester. The chief source of Viking income, the Vikes, Inn, took on new life this semester as Mr. Veenker and the Vikes' Inn Committee, headed by Dick MacDonald, worked with Mrs. Matz to make im- portant decisions on increased costs and sale prices. New improvements included the installation of a popcorn machine and a highly popular chocolate milk dispenser. The cabinet benefited from reading the reports made by the classes on Code of Ethics Day and was pleased by the valuable suggestions for future improvement. ' Other activities of the semester included acting as host to a successful meeting of the Bay League Forum, guesting the California Association of Stu- dent Councils, and sponsoring the Fiesta Dance. A highly successful year, efficiently organized. Bouquets to an energetic group of loyal Vikes. SUMMER CABINET-ROW 1: Ryan, Heimbeck, Baldock, Carbajal, Lewis, Lytle, Stanchfield, Narveson.

Something new in the way of Blue and Gold Day was introduced this year when this event was held as an opener to the basketball season. Another startling occurrence of the day was the failure of Mr. Brownsberger's class to keep its record of wins unsullied. Something happened, and they let the Marshburners cop a first place tie to add their names as newcomers to the ranks of winners. The day may have been different, but it was as highly successful as usual and helped to generate spirit to send our basketball team on to a Bay League championship. The Talent Show again unearthed an array of student vocalists, terpsichoreans, and budding come- dians, who sang, danced, and talked their way across Barnum Hall stage to add another delightful first night to Samohi's collection of memories.
