8 The Chipmunk STUDENT BODY The student body officers of the Westwood Junior-Senior High School consist of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, yell leader and song leader. Franklyn Ott, the president of the student body for 1931-1932, won the respect of the whole school by his efficiency in performing his many duties. A lot of the success of the student body depends upon the president, who has to preside at all meetings of the student body and Executive Committee, calling special meetings when they are neces- sary; appoint committees; and countersign all checks and contracts. He has the power, in case of an emergency, to incur bills not to exceed five dollars. Franklyn has been one of the foremost students in extra- curricular activities during the last four years. The vice-president, who assumes the duties of the president in the absence or disability of the latter, was Mattye Huggins. Mattye has been another one of our activities students and has held various positions in the student body. The secretary must keep accurate minutes of all business meetings of the student body; conduct all correspondence carried on in the name of the student body when directed by the president or by the Executive Committee; and keep on file all amendments adopted. Marion Dyer very ably filled the position this year. The student body has recog- nized Marion’s ability and has shown its approval by electing her to the vice-presidency next year. Being treasurer of a high school that carries such an extensive financial program as that of W.H.S. is, indeed, a job. Lois Johnson, a junior, filled this position exceedingly well the whole year. The treasurer has many duties, among them receiving and giving receipts for all money belonging to the student body or activities connected with the student body, and submitting weekly reports to the Executive Com- mittee. The treasurer must also report its financial condition to the student body at regular meetings. Ott Huggins Dyer Johnson

These positions were filled this year by Bill Barry and Beatrice Martin, to the satisfaction of the entire school. These officers are elected by the active members of the student body and they serve for one school year. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE All student body officers automatically become members of the Executive committee, which has as additional membership one or more representatives chosen by the members of each class. The seventh, eighth and ninth grades each have one representative, the tenth and eleventh grades have two, and the twelfth grade three. The executive committee is one of the most important in the entire school. Its duties are to make and enforce any rules necessary for the betterment of the school, its life, or interests.
