IIUMMITTEES Another example of student government in Ann Arbor High is found in the structure of the committee system. The majority of committees are organized under the Student Council, and any person is eligible to be a member of any one committee. The work done by these groups is for the beneht of the school in general and the student body as a whole. The non-athletic board rules on all matters concerned with any activity ex- cluding sports and is in charge of the all-school parties. The athletic board rules on all measures pertaining to athletic activities. The members of both boards are elected from and by the Student Council. The l'resident's Committee includes the president of each homeroom, and its purpose is to promote better homeroom meetings through preparation. Boosting the sales of stamps and bonds is the main business of the Stamps and Bonds Committee, which is composed of one member from each homeroom. The War Projects Committee plans and sponsors the various clothing and charity drives. This year it has strived for l00fjf, participation and has achieved it in nearly every drive. The Mlar Service and Records Committee has done a remarkable job in bringing the service list up to date. Another project of this group was the securing of a memorial to be given to the parents of the boys who have died in service. Both of these committees are made up entirely of volun- teers. The Assembly Committee plans and presents our weekly assemblies which are looked forward to by all. The Health and Safety Committee has as its concern the bettering of the health and safety conditions in the school and among the students. In order that those students who eat their lunch at school can gain some relaxation during their lunch period, the Noon Hour Committee provides various activities such as movies and dances. The last three committees men- tioned are also open to all students interested. By joining any one of these committees, a student can take part in tl1e govern- ing of the activities of the school. lt is through this means that tl1e students are able to voice their opinions and work out their ideas. This complete system is a miniature form of our Democratic govermnent and good experience for pre- paring us for the future. 5
