VCAYXE HOOPER Vice-PrcsiJi ' nt WILLARD OFFICERS ERNIE SCHAUPPNER RICHARD DORST President Secretary PROGRESS During this last term, I believe we, as a Student Body, have made great progress as a self-governing community. The Student Council has been entirely reorganized to conform to the new Willard School Constitution drafted by Irving Short and John Sproul, which has given to us all additional opportunities for participation in school government. The recently organized Willard Senate has been developed this semester and is rapidly becoming one of the most important governing bodies of the school. We, as citizens of Willard, expect to receive much benefit from these changes and are fully aware of the importance of the responsibilities that we are privileged to assume. TJie Student Council now consists of seventeen members and one faculty advisor. Eight of these members are elected by the Student Body at large, three are appointed, and the remaining six are chosen by their respective grades as Half-grade Presidents. The elected members serving on the Council this term were Wayne Hooper, President of the Senate and Vice-President of the school; Richard Dorst, Student Body Secretary; Betty Platt, President of the W. G. A.; John Sproul, President of the W. B. A.; Louis Mertins, Boys’ Athletic Manager; Alma Roth, Girls’ Athletic Manager; and Jack Wolfe, Yell Leader. Irving Short, Chief of Police; Margaret Connick, Commissioner of Special Events; and Martha Crandall, Commissioner of Publicity, were the three appointed members. The six Half-grade Presi- dents were Bill Wright of the High Ninth, Don Waldie of the Low Ninth, Tod Judkins of the High Eighth, Hiroshi Higashi of the Low Eighth, Beverly Ryan of the High Seventh, and Mar) ' Patterson of the Low Seventh. Miss Farwell was our advisor. For the first time in the history of Willard, Student assemblies were planned and executed entirely by the Council. One of the most pleasing of these was the May Queen Rally at which the candidates for May Queen were introduced by means of a clever skit. The Council also conducted the Student Body elections for the ensuing term. These were under the supervision of Miss Chace and the management of the Council. First came the registration of the voters, then the primary and final elections at which practically a one hundred per cent ballot was cast. My term of service as your President has ended. I am proud of my small share con- tributed to the advancement of our school, and I hope the Presidents to follow will be as fortunate as I have been in having the full cooperation of Mr. Hayes, the faculty, and the students. „ „ r. • ; Ernie Schauppner, President. « 6 »

TO WILLARD Oh great and noble Willard High, We’ll think of you as years roll by, And, though a dreary day may pass. You in our hearts will always last. This fortress that we build today Will never crumble or decay. To make the finest school out West, Then we must try to do our best. When we are striving for the right. Then we are truly Willardites. Bruce Salomon TO THE CITIZENS OF WILLARD: Some one has said, Cooperation means so working that others may work with you.” Our school organization, with its emphasis on personal responsibility, promotes better citi- zenship as well as a more complete socialization of the individual citizen. These goals of student self-government can only be met as you strive to work so that others may work C. K. Haves, Prmrip., . THE WILLARD SENATE The Senate, the most recent arm of government at Willard and the branch that com- pletes the three-point governmental system of the school, has had a very busy term. Vice- President Wayne Hooper has presided at the Senate and has guided it well. Miss Chace has been the sponsor and through her help and encouragement the Senate has always moved forward even when the going was a little rough. With our new form of Student Council becoming effective the beginning of this term, another chance for the Senate to be felt in school affairs was scored when the head of the Senate was included in the new Council. This tieup was an asset to both bodies. Because of the many changes in our form of student government since the signing of Willard’s first constitution, it became necessary for the school to have a new one. For that purpose President Schauppner early in the term appointed a committee that started at once to draft a new constitution, and in a short time it presented its plan to the Student Council. With a few minor changes the Council approved the constitution as presented by the com- mittee and sent it to the Senate. There it was debated and passed on by the senators to their respective advisories for discussion. It was then referred back to the Senate with the remarks and questions submitted by the different advisories. The remainder of the term was mainly devoted to rewording parts of the document and shaping it for final passage and submission to President Schauppner and Principal Hayes. The Willard Senate may well be proud of its term’s work.
