Secretary Treasurer CAROL MIYAMOTO ROY NISHISHITL Eager And Willing University High School's student govern- ment plays a vital role in building and en- couraging school spirit and proper student behavior. President Betsy Nii headed the organiza- tion. Working with her were vice-president Raymond Tadaki, secretary Carol Miyamoto, and treasurer Roy Nishishita. The student body cabinet met every day during the seventh period. During this period, school problems and new ideas were discussed before present- ing them to the Senior Council. Evaluations were also made of the various school activi- ties. Homeroom representatives, ju nior C o u n c i 1 representatives, editors of Ke Kupina'i and Uniki, and Oahu Youth Coun- cil representatives were members of the Senior Council. The Senior Council met every other Tuesday alternating with the standing com- mittee meetings. Semester homeroom representatives chaired the eight student government standing com- mittees. The committees were Publicity Com- mittee, Senior Social Committee, Assembly Committee, Handbook Committee, Athletic Committee, Spirit and Rally Committee, Junior Red Cross Committee, and Campus Community Service Committee. Council retreats held each semester ac- quainted new members with the student gov- ernment schedule and also with existing problems of the school. The retreats were held on campus. juniors Patsy Asagi and Dennis Irie chaired the planning of the annual recognition ban- quet. Athletes, council members, and other deserving student leaders were recognized. A victory dance was held in May as a climax to the series of school campaigns and elections. The newly elected student government of- ficers were announced then. This was the first victory dance for University High School stu- dents. The student government officers took part in the Territorial High School Government conference held. at Farrington High School during the Thanksgiving recess. Much time was spent getting acquainted with other stu- dent leaders and discussing various school problems. , Miss Peggy jane Tanaka and Miss Berna- dine Tom were the efficient student teacher advisers for the first and second semesters, respectively.

Adult Leaders Of Tomorrow, Led by the elected homeroom representa- tives, the student body government's eight standing committees came through with Hying colors. Alternating with the Senior Council meet- ings, regular standing committee meetings were conducted every other Tuesday. These meetings were attended by a representative from each homeroom who was elected to serve for one semester. Senior james Napier and sophomore Char- lene jaber, first and second semesters' Hand- book Committee chairmen, revised the student handbook. Both chairmen worked closely with their committeemen to make necessary additions and corrections. The student hand- book is distributed every other year. In Sep- tember 1959, brand new student handbooks will await the students. Through the Senior Social Committee, four socials and two canteens were scheduled. One of the bigger events of the year was the Christ- mas semi-formal, Winter Carousel, which was held at Hemenway Hall. The various duties of decoration, entertainment and clean-up, were the responsibilities of the different grades. The Senior Social Committee coordi- nated the activities. The Campus Community Service Commit- tee sponsored successfully several fund-raising drives. Among them were the Schools for Laos drive, March of Dimes, Christmas and Easter Seal sales, and the Community Chest drive. Service-projects undertaken by the entire school and homerooms were under the care of the Junior Red Cross Committee. A proposal was presented to the Council by the Athletic Committee. This proposal called for the excluding of seniors from the official athletic teams so that the boys could compete wholeheartedly in the junior Varsity Inter- scholastic games. At the time the annual went to press, the proposal was being considered for approval by Senior Council. The Spirit and Rally Committee's main concern was to promote school spirit among students. Pep rallies and athletic recognition assemblies were carried out. All assemblies were scheduled by the Assembly Committee. The school socials and other events were publicized by the Publicity Committee. Post- ers were made and placed in the halls and classrooms. ., , ,Q 7: 1 .-.gKl,a..,, ' HANDBOOK Row 1, Left to right: Lynn Nakamura, Keith Racuya, Lambert Thom, Row 2: Gary Fujimoto, Charlene jaber, Lloyd Sueda, Ethel Ujiie.
