Associated omen Students HE ASSOCIATED Women's Student Body was outstanding throughout the entire school year. Maybelle Bartlett, pres- ident, Mildred Roberts, vice-president,and Dorothy Nicholson, secretary, were the competent administration heads of this group. They did much in planning the activities of the club, presenting a varied program that has been appreciated by the girls of Ventura junior college. Three teas were given by the A. W. S., lone, a welcoming tea for the girls and women faculty members, another for the girls and their mothers, and a third for the faculty. Also, the organization gave an entertainment for the junior BART,-ETT PRESIDENT high graduating class to create an interest and a friendly spirit between the tenth ROBERTS I . VICE-PRESIDENT graders and the junior college students. i MCHOLSON SECRETARY Throughout the year the girls' club has carried out its aim to present an assembly every month. They charged a canned food entrance fee to one of these monthly assemblies in order to get food for the needy. This food was given to only those students in school who were in need of it. It was given to them at Christmas time, and by doing this, the club felt like it had performed a worthwhile service. Another aim of the A. W. S. has been to send a few students as Ventura junior college's representa- tives to the annual Southern California meeting of the various clubs. This year was no exception and delegates were sent as usual. The A. W. S. has made itself outstanding during both semesters by becoming one of the most active organizations within the school. lt has been a privilege for the officers to work with the girls and Miss Long, who has assisted in the ac- tivities of this club. Throughout the school year, the A. W. S. has been outstanding among the active groups of the school. ln sponsoring dances, teas, assemblies for the girls, they have presented excellent programs, and in charity work, the women's student body has set a standard that the succeeding years' groups will have difficulty in surpassing. page fifteen

No offenses of any kind were brought before it during the first se- mester. lts only activity was a series of lectures given to the eleventh grade students on how to behave and conduct themselves at junior college. This was told the new students at the first of the year and from then on the court remained dormant until after the mid-term Melection. The second semester court officers saw more activity than did their predecessors. Two cases were brought before them. In both cases the students were found guilty and reprimanded by the judicial WTA!-SSS body. The year as a whole, however, was very dull for the court mem- SHAW bers due to the improved conduct of the students. Any student of good standing, the principal, the vice principal, or the Board of Commissioners can . bring a case before the court. The case is tried by the judges, and if guilt is proven, the court has authority to decide the penalty. lt was originated to give the student body a voice in the judicial responsibilities of the school. The members of this year's student court for the first semester were: Gil Castro, chief justice, and Ed Gallagher and Ed Waters, associate justices. The second semester judges were: Ed Waters, chief justice, John Shaw and Wilbur Todd, associate justices. Although the court was not so prominent this year as it has been in the past, its members rendered the few necessary decisions quite satisfactorily. The reason for the scarcity of misdemeanors on the school grounds this year has been attributed to the lack of set rules, a new policy just adopted this year by the administration. W XI

' 1 r 1, Buccaneers fl Q6f1fZ'ff 4 APTAINED by Mack Carlisle, the Buccaneers' Club presented a full program of service and en- tertainment. Early in the year, a father and son banquet was given in honor of the boys' fathers, while later on a reception was held for- their mothers. Both the banquet and tea were well attended. Supplies for charity work to be done by the club were obtained i by receiving donations as the admission fee to some of the season's basketball games. In this manner much help was given to the needy i MACK CARLISLE CAPTAIN OF BUCCANEERS through the club's interested activity. In the social line, two dances were sponsored by the club for its members. Also, in addition to these two, a dance was held especially for the tenth grade students who will be graduating into junior college this year, All of the dances were very successful. Bob Cowger as first mate and Ernest Bagley as quartermaster have shared the responsibilities of the club with their captain. It is these three officers of the club who have been instrumental in presenting such a well-rounded year's program. The Buccaneers' Club is unique in the fact that it carries out completely the theme of Ventura Junior College. The Ventura Junior College students are called the Pirates and the emblem of the school is a pi- rate flag. That is why the title Captain is applied to the head of the organization instead ofthe conventional and colorless, President of the Men's Student Body. page sixteen
