Among the miscellaneous problems of the council were choosing song leaders, approving the social calendar, and pushing the sale of season tickets. Because of the increase in enrollment, the council voted to have the seventh and eighth grades elect their own publicity and social chairmen and plan their own social calendar. Every time the council appropri- ated money for a senior high dance, the junior high received an equal amount. Membership and interest were stimu- lated in the California Association of Stu- dent Councils by attendance at the district and regional meetings where kinks in the work of self-government were ironed out.

Collectively and individually the members settled disputes between classes, prepared advertising for all school activi- ties, kept a record of the sports, arranged dances, assemblies, and elections, and con- trolled thc student body money. Money was the usual big problem, but after 13 years as sponsor, Mr. Franklin was well equipped with answers. In order to put out a better Telescope, it was excluded from the student body card and sold sep- arately. For the first time the student body cards had pictures on them. Returns from 1953 football games were sufficient to pay all sports expenses. The Snack Shack brought up the problem of, Who sells what?'l With the classes' approval the Look at that money!

Clair E. Franklin Principal a4aaZ0,ee The humming activity created by 360 students was handled by several groups. To Principal Clair E. Franklin came the headaches of complete supervision in all aspects of curricular and extra-curricular activities. He had confabs with the seniors, checking credits and handing out counsel on jobs and colleges. When a parent had a question, Mr. Franklin had or found an answer. Straightening out disputes be- tween students was a delicate accomplish- ment. The whole school environment also came under his jurisdiction. Any mainten- ance worries were reported to his boss, Superintendent Montgomery. The man who untangled the strings in Helena A. Stark Secretary -199 B. Hunter Vice Principal Mr. Franklin's absence was Vice Principal Joe B. Hunter. Another title he earned was athletic director. In that line he labored long and hard as football and baseball coach. Boys' and occasionally girls' discip- line was a big worry for him. Mr. Hunter was the attendance officer, reporting to the state the absences and the reasons. The testing program, including development and aptitude tests, was assigned to him. Their secretary, Mrs. Stark, presided over the high school office. She ruled over the office practice girls, teaching them the fundamentals of efficient office work. In between times she took dictation, sent out correspondence, and did the typing.
