The most important elective office in the world is that of President of the United States. When the people looked for a person to hold this office for the first time, all eyes turned toward George Washington, the great chieftain who had led armies to victory, and who had shown him- self a great statesman as well as a soldier. iffiCOTWI ©lilMlTrfllKH

STUDENT COUNCIL Acting as the circuit court of our government make-up, the Student Council was given the difficult task of helping to settle the controversies and problems which arose within the school. During the year of 1937-38 the society was divided into four committees. The Assembly Committee arranged and guided the assembly programs. The Locker Committee checked on all lockers that were care- lessly left open and, by imposing a five-cent fine, warned their owners to keep them safely locked. The Safety Committee made and enforced the bicycle, traffic, and fire regulations. The Magnavox Committee took charge of the school’s newest asset, a victrola which provides music for club entertainments. The Council also has charge of the letter fund and the purchasing and awarding of athletic and scholarship awards. This year they pro- vided for the purchase of the microphone for the Magnavox. The officers are: James Galles, president; Gene Sherry, vice- president; Mary Kennedy, secretary; Ted Arch, treasurer.

The Executive Department of the federal government is com- prised of the President and his Cabinet. Because it is physically impossible for the President to supervise and direct more than one mil- lion persons engaged in the civil and military duties of executive and administrative work, he is aided by his cabinet members who act as his chief lieutenants. Likewise in school, because our principal is unable to direct and supervise every student in his scholastic work and extra activities, he is aided by the faculty. ( 13 )
