An amendment to the constitution ,for a better voting system was orig- inated and passed by the student body. Heretofore the council meetings have been secret, but this year in order to let the student body understand more thoroughly how they were governed, and the functions of the council, each member brought a non-member with him.

Palanulc, Simpson, Rush, Cady, Mann Brace, Jensen, Taylor, Hunter, Booth, Johnson, Read 31-13 No member of the University High School student body November 22, l936, will ever be able to, or want to, forget the eventful night of this date when University High's squad of l7 football players brought fame to them- selves and school by defeating our friendly but larch rivals of Eugene High School, 3l - I3 in downpour of rain. Just to insure your memorylll- The rally in the morning. Booth says, l know who'll be fight'n' ,the hardest. lThe student body silently prays and hopesl Then in the evening the football xboys met. ln the dressing room they were silent-hopeful-anxious. They had hopes that there was one team in the state which could do what no other high school in the state had done -beat one of the best teams ever to come out of Eugene High School, U.H.S. Slowly thoseylast steps were treked across the graveyard in its solemn stillness. Into the grandstand walked the last straying man, and the stage was set-set for the most sincere proclamations that any team ever made -the proclamation that one team must win or lose. But University High School was NOT going to LOSE. On to the field for the final warmup.-lnto the dressing room for the final instructions and encouragement from Maury Van Vliet.-Again to the field for the game you all remember too well. Thirteen boys made,history for November 22, l936, and another, Max Simpson, wished that he could have helped as he sat on the sidelines suffering a broken arm. l3

GOLDEN U Under the leadership of Arthur Soward, president, the Golden U turned its thoughts to being a service organization for the school. Guarding gates at athletic contests, and assuming other responsibilities around the school were leading activities. A Golden U pay assembly was sponsored to give prestige to the de- pleted treasury. Features were a Beef Ballet, three skits, a German band, and other novelties. This presentation was given soon after the close of the football season. A picnic for members and their guests was held in May at which time the additional members of the year were initiated. Other officers of the club were Walter Rush, vice-president, Bill Wil- liams, secretary-treasurer, and Ellroy Jensen, ,sergeant-at-arms. Ray Hen- drickson was adviser to the organization. HONOR SOCIETY The Zeta Tau chapter of the National Honor Society was headed by Maxine Glad, member of the senior four elected to the society as juniors.
