I The nine justices of the Student Court are chosen through class elec- tions held in the spring. The senior class elects three, one of whom is elected Chief Iustice by the nine court members. Each of the other classes elects two students to represent them. Student Court is usually held twice weekly during seventh period. Here they are presented with cases such as being in the halls without a pass, ex- cessive tardies, campus parking viola- tions, or lunchroom disorders. Then the justices decide whether the defendant is guilty or innocent. If the verdict is guilty, the court passes sentence. The sentences include themes on different topics or codes de- pending on the nature of the crime. The defendant may have a lawyer to represent his case. The qualifications for being a student lawyer are having seventh period free, no semester U's or UT's and a 2.5 grade average or better. Classes on basic court pro- cedure are held for students who will become lawyers. Kenneth Iaeger, Student Court ad- visor, makes recommendations to the Court when it is confronted with an especially difficult case.

Pride was the keynote of student council's aims this year.

Trying to accomplish this goal of spirit and pride, the school songs were played over the p.a. sys- tern every Friday after classes. Also, pep posters were placed in the halls a few days before football and basket- ball games. In addition to this, the student council sold items such as rib- bons, shakers, pins, and blue derbys at all three lunches. So they could get the opinions of the student body, council held a discus- sion concerning the dress code. This was open to any student of Catalina, they were allowed to freely express any ideas which they had on the exist- ing dress code. After this session, the student council revised the code and it was approved by the administration.
