GO VERNORS l GOVERNORS-SI6PPiHg on unfamiliar ground, due to Wil- son's entering into its new buildings, the Board of Governors for the first semester was confronted with the task of putting on an athletic and activity program equal to that of the past two years in the buildings, and at the same time keeping with- in the slender resources of a newly appropriated budget. Rising to the occasion, the Board of Governors, consisting of Bob Stabler, Governor of Affairs, Norman Standlee, Gover- nor of Athletics, Virginia Starky, Governor of Welfare, Tom Shallenberger and Victor Cole, Governors of Safety, and Leon G. Catlin, adviser, put on a successful Student Body Ticket Drive, and with careful observance of budgets were able to finance a larger athletic program than ever before attempted. At the end of the first semester, the Wilson student body found itself in excellent shape, with a background of success- ful projects efficiently carried out. This was due largely to the ability and cooperative spirit of those who filled the guberna- torial chairs. In this period when school programs, courses, and curricula are being tested to determine their value to society perhaps no activity in Wilson offers so much leadership exper- ience as the offices of governors. Meeting student officials from other high schools, acting as hosts for Wilsoim at the tenth an- niversary home coming, athletic meetsg at bay-league student gatherings, approaching business clubs in various capacities, re- presenting Wilson in municipal group meetings including the fire department. ITHE mul.l.uNr awards dinner-dance presented in January featured Coach Bill Spaulding of U.C.L.A. in 1 football talk when some 100 awards were presented to Wilson lenders.

STUDENT COUNCIL I STUDENT COUNCIL--The year of 1936, a year of progress, transition and readjustment marked the end of the cramped, makeshift campus life of the outdoor days and the return to the bustling, active High School life characteristic of the pre- earthquake days. In this progress the Student Council has been one of the major forces in reorganizing school activities to fit problems created by the return to the qualceproof institution. Composed of members representing the major activities of Wil- sonis varied extra-curricular program, the Council has enlarged its program and vision to meet the new standards and goals set up since the return to the buildings. Acting in cooperation with the Girls' League, the Council planned and presented the XTAOSI elaborate Alumni home coming day ever staged at Wilsoii. Lacking in auditorium facilities, the patio was transformed into a blazing mass of color accented by a new high spirit and en- thusiasm as the student body joyfully welcomed over one thou- sand Wilsoii graduates, many of who have gone on to distin- guish themselves in the business life of the community. The Student Council shared in promoting another of the school's most colorful functions, the traditional Fiesta. Under the ef- ficient tutelage of Leon G. Catlin, the Council capably handled the school's financial problems including the planning and re- vising of the budgets for all school activities.
