CONSTITUENT TFUE3 Assembly IDEAS The Constituent Assembly combined the ef- forts of students and faculty members to pro- duce a constitution that would represent the non-traditional philosophy of Lakeridge High School. In seeking a different approach to the problem of school constitutions, they combined ideas from successful constitutions of other schools plus some of their own. The students who participated were divided into three groups: one to write up the consti- tution, one to decide how the General Assem- bly members would be picked and one to write the preamble. Working week nights as well as Saturdays and Sundays, it took them nearly three weeks to complete the task.

HARD WORK Government BEGUN For three weeks before Lakeridge opened in September. 1971, seven students worked dili- gently to get the school ready before students arrived. This body was pre-government and laid the format for rules and traditions the school was to follow in coming years. They also took care of charting clubs and organizing activities. When the General As- sembly was established, they disbanded. The seven students involved in this govern- ment were Jim Serrill. Kim Lee, Kim Cortese, Scot Burbank and Marcy Neuburg, all previous members of the Advisory Council. Other members were President Greg Harlow and Warren Oliver.

Working together, they planned schedules for the first few days of school. de- cided how they were going to use the building and tried to anticipate problems that might arise. Teachers worked together moving books. choosing the role of audio-visual, figuring out various types of equipment and deciding what to do about the lack of chairs. Several dis- cussion meetings and pep talks were held throughout the week to keep the program running smoothly.
