It is com- posed of members from each home-room group, making it a direct representation of the school at large, from the lowiest frosh to the high- est senior To the lot of Overbrooks first graduates has fallen the responsibility for the functioning of the House of Delegates Under rules laid down by the school constitution the president of the Students Association is also chairman of the House The president IS always elected from the succeeding graduating class and his duties are manifold Thus far a senior boy or girl has been elected every term by the delegates to the oiiice of secretary In the amount of energy expended this office 1S second only to the president s The Budget Committee the most important of the House Committees has always had for its chairman a member of the Senior class with a magority of the upper class com pleting it Thus it may be seen that the actual work of the House of Delegates 1S carried on largely by the delegates from the graduating class but to give the lower classman his due this work would not be done were it not for his able representation - 9 1 , . . . . . . 9 . . . , .
