The second collection of inquisitors dedicated themselves to the revision of our stubby G. O. ticket. The students turned out in full force to support permanent committees. The American Field Service arranged for a foreign visitor in ’59-’60, conducted a panel discussion by exchange students of the Metropolitan area, and staged a swinging jazz party. The Assembly Planning Committee engineered several highly diverting and educa- tional assemblies. The Cafeteria, Publicity and Student Relations bodies also performed their duties conscientiously and with fruitful results (although the cafeteria mural remained unchanged). Socially speaking this was a boom year (aren’t they all, all G. O. SALESMAN: First row, left to right—C. Klurfeld, S. Shotfer, N. Bronstein, N. Socks, B. LeVine, I. lebowitz. Second row—M. Wolf, P.

As the year began, our student government, categorically opposed to structural changes, assured us that its form mattered far less than how, and for what, this form was to be used. Guided by this principle, blessed with a new constitution, and endowed with the advice and admonitions of Mr. Lincoln, were Mike Schwartz, Paul Shapiro, Judy Prager, and Pete Fidel, all of whom were elected through the use of the first automatic voting machine in the school's history. Mike lent his matchless genius and unbounded enthusiasm to the co- ordinating council and other G. O. projects; Paul, assisted by General Henry M. Robert, presided over the legislative assembly; Pete, admired for his frugality, could usually be found twirling the dials on the G. O. safe; while Judy kept sorted, and filed records of it all. At mid-year the G. O. formed two temporary investigatory committees. (Some said this group was soon going to be looked into by a Permanent Committee for the Investigation of Temporary Investigatory Committes, but these people, just ingrates, were not taken seriously.)
