A person who visited the campus for the first time might wonder how the school is run so democratically. As Joe was looking over the reservation he noticed something was happening in one of the teepees. On entering, the sec- ret was revealed to Little Joe, this is the House of Representatives. There were representatives from each guidance class and the group was led by an Execu- tive Committee, and they called themselves, The Legislative Council. Every- thing was discussed from silverware in the cafeteria, to baseball bleachers. Joe was very happy he was a member of such a well organized and demo- cratically run Student Body.

M. The amusing photos shown above illustrate one of the activities put on by the Girls' League which the whole student body was able to enioy. Backward Week, which is an annual event of our school, is always looked forward to by everyone. Backward Day, Password Day, Sucker Day and many others, are days that we will all long remember. BACKWARD WEEK 25 x 'Xx 'KQ ws. Remember the day we all put our clothes on backwards and tied brigh. bandanas around our necks and started out for school during Backward Week? lt sure took courage to ask that swell boy in Geometry to the dance, but it was sure worth it once it was all over. We remember these, as just a few events that happened during Backward Week.

The Legislative Council has changed its members and our little Indian friend is a member now. lt is his responsibility to carry the suggestions to the meet- ings. Joe is a member of the most important organization in the school. His responsibilities are greater than he could have imagined. Suggestions brought up by his classmates must be brought u'p in Legislative Council if they are wor- thy and the council's decision is explained and carried back to the class room. Being a member of the Legislative Council is one of the most honored positions Joe has ever held and it has helped him to understand the difficult govern- mental procedure.
