EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Executive Committee, presided over by the president of the student body, is the most important committee of our school. Elected members from each registry represent their class at the meetings. These student body officers, who are elected by student body members the term preceding their oc- cupancy of the office, handle all the social and finan- cial matters of the school. The meetings, which are held every other Tuesday, are needed to appropriate necessary money for school activities and organiza- tions, to propose new amendments for the school constitution, to take charge of all school elections, to discuss issues for the improvement of the school, and to grant awards and honors. This term when President Dave LeBaron was absent, Vice-president Janet Wheeler presided. Sec- retary Mary Trussell kept a written record of the doings of the committee. The faculty advisor is Mr. W.
