STUDENT CONTROL Willard has had for several years a group of students assisting the faculty in corridor traffic. This term, however, some valuable additions have been made, and some new projects tried. The Student Control con- sists of a chief, two captains, two lieutenants, and nearly eighty other officers who stand in the halls and yards to direct traffic, keep order in the vicinity of the lockers, and to perform any other duties that are necessary to maintain order. A court is also a part of the machinery of the Student Control. Here arrests made by officers are tried, and sen- tences given. Weekly meetings of the Student Control are held to discuss problems and to install any desirable improvement. The officers very generally feel they receive a valuable training by contact with the different types of boys and girls and from the discipline they must give themselves in self-control, intelligent sympathy, and moral courage. Willard heartily endorses the Student Control. It feels it is a progres- sive project from which all are deriving benefit.

STUDENT CONTROL COURT STUDENT COUNCIL Greater W i 1 1 a r d For every man one country, One flag, one form of rule; Likewise for every student There is one most loved school. A country gains in adding From other lands and laws, And Edison has joined us To aid us in the cause. There may be little difference Between ours and the rest, But we shall know for all time That ours is quite the best. Of better schools and spirit, Now one is made of two. We sing a hail to our school — Willard, our best to you! Jack Westlake 15

STUDENT CONTROL COURT The judicial branch of the Willard System of Student Control con- sists of a court, a records ' department, and a detention officer without whom the court could not function. This Student Control Court has two faculty members who serve in the capacity of judges and try only cases brought in by the Student Control Officers. The Records ' Department keeps the court records, makes out the judge ' s blotter, and maintains a file of information for use in the cases of second offenders. The court is modeled after the Berkeley Traffic Court with the ex- ception that, as yet, we have not granted jury trials, though both de- fendants and officers may call witnesses. In lieu of a jury trial, provision is made for appeal from the decision of the Lower Court to a Supreme Court presided over by Mr. Glessner. No oath is demanded of the wit- nesses, but it is understood that failure to tell the truth is punishable. We feel that the court, though still in its infancy, makes for greater cooperation, and that by placing more responsibility upon the students themselves they are interested in maintaining a better regulated traffic system.
