The highest court in America is the Supreme Court. It was created by the first Congress and was given the power to nullify laws if in conflict with the Constitution. Congress definitely established the Supreme Court as the final arbiter in conflicts between the states and federal government. The first Su- preme Court consisted of five associate justices and one Chief Justice. To John Jay belongs the honor of being the first Chief Justice.

OUR SCHOOL HOME As we, the members of the graduating class of ’38, look back over the years spent at George Rogers Clark, strange sensations creep over us. We have come to the end of countless pleasant days spent in this lovely school. No longer will we enter its portals each school day to meet our old friends and make new acquaintances. No longer will we enjoy the pleasure of being students of this beloved school. f- When we begin to realize this, those strange sensations seem to gather and lodge in our throats. We count our last precious days which have dwindled down to hours, hoping they will pass slowly. Our only consolation is that we may bring all possible honor to our school, for all the success that we may obtain must be credited to these, our happiest and most memorable years at George Rogers Clark.

The Judicial Department of the federal government is made up chiefly of two bodies; the Supreme Court, passing final and supreme judgment upon the constitutionality of acts concerning the rights of persons and rights of property; and the ten Circuit Courts in which final judgment is passed concerning cases which involve no question of constitutionality. So it is in school — the Board of Education passes final judgment on everything regarding the rights of faculty members, stu- dents, and the school’s property. The Student Council passes judgment only on minor incidents pertaining to the student body itself.
