STUDENT COUNCIL WILLARD SENATE WILLARD JUNIOR TRAFFIC POLICE The cooperation of the students with the Junior Traffic Police has meant another perfect safety record for Willard this term. Monday and Friday are drill days for Willard’s traffic force, and they have turned out to be a crack” squad both in drill and service. They have recently taken over the Flag Raising on Monday mornings. For the first time this semester three representatives from each patrol in Berkeley were elected by their fellow officers for official inspection by members of the local and state police departments. The inspection was held in San Francisco. Willard was represented by Sergt. Maj. Richberger, Sergt. Le Quatte, and Sergt. Bowen. At the annual review of the Junior Traffic Police of Berkeley held on Edwards Field, Willard again made an excellent showing. Thanks and praise are due Mr. Christensen, who has spared neither time nor effort as director to prepare Willard’s Junior Traffic Patrol for the efficient service they have rendered the school and community this year.

WILLARD COURT WILLARD JUNIOR TRAFFIC POLICE BULWARKS OF LIBERTY La- v s are the very bulwarks of liberty. They define every man’s rights, and stand between, and defend the individual liberties of all men.” The great majority of Willard students is of this opinion, and Willard Court aims to impress this fact upon those who appear before it. Some Willardites, however, have not been convinced of the value of the statement, and Willard Court has been kept busy. Chief Clerk Wolfe states that the charges most frequently appearing on the records are discourtesy, speeding, and disobeying signals. Nothing costs less or is more valuable to the individual himself than civility, and traffic laws of school and community are for the safety of all. Keep these facts in mind, fellow students, and lighten the labors of our judges, Mrs. Ivelsky and Mr. Harrison, who have served us so well and faithfully throughout the term. Court Officers: Rafael Ahlgren (Sergt. at Arms), Alvan Altman (Sergt. at Arms), Melvin Bacharach (Clerk), Stanley Behrends (Detention Clerk), Virginia Berg (Sergt. at Arms) , Jane Bickel (Sergt. at Arms) , Richard Dorst (Detention Clerk) , William laconetti (Sergt. at Arms), Cornelia Levis (Sergt. at Arms), Graham Moody (Clerk), John Oshida (Sergt. at Arms), Donald Stewart (Bailiff), Frank White (Bailiff), Jack Wolfe (Chief Clerk) . « 8 »

THE STUDENT CONTROL This year the Student Control underwent some great experimental changes. In fact, the complete Control experienced reorganization, and we feel that the change resulted in im- measurable success. Since the Student Control governs the students, it seemed right that it should represent the students so the officers for the first time were elected by the Student Body. Chief Irving Short, aided by Captains Arthur Starke and Bob Woods, did a splendid piece of work this term. Captain Bob Woods commanded the lower corridor, the cottages, and supervised the Gymnasium Squad. He proved himself most capable and dependable. Captain Arthur Starke commanded the upper corridor, the Auditorium Usher Squad, and supervised the emergency lunch-rooms. He merited the highest praise. Through Chief Short’s efforts the Student Control obtained an office, which served as the base of opera- tions. A system of post rotation was introduced. Chief Short felt that the force was extra- ordinarily large and that the students were able to govern themselves without so many officers. He inaugurated a plan that cut the number of officers in half, each half going on duty every two weeks. The posts were numbered, and this, too, was a great advantage. The captains had to have some way of checking attendance on the posts so a roll-book was secured and every officer was required to check-in each morning. In this way vacant posts could be filled by substitute officers. The Student Control has just completed a term of service of which the Student Body is rightly proud. Throughout the semester Mrs. Hardy, the Commissioner of Police, was the Control’s wise counselor and good friend, and through her advice many errors were avoided.
