They Control Student Destiniex Our young journalist, who might be defined as the average high school stu- dent, is very adaptable to any situation. Returning to school, after his three month's vacation, he has discovered from the assignment sheet that his first beat is to be the Administration Department. His athletic maneuvers up the entrance steps of the First Building prove that his summer vacation was filled with many activities. He leaves these, however, to dwell upon the present and to ponder over his first story. It shall be a long one, he decides. Choosing the most eminent personality of the school he selects Supt. E. W. Montgomery. Then, of course, the lead must be written with its six w's. So, taking, out his notebook, he stops to scribble down such notes as these: who-Mr. E. W. Nlontgomery, what-superintendent, Why -supervises everything of importance concerning the school, where-Phoenix Union High School, when-at present and fourteen years past, how-by directing so capably the 5000 students enrolled. Passing through the waiting room to the superintendent's office, the cub reporter encounters the lost and found department on the right and the telephone switchboard on the left. Mrs. Holt, Mr. lVIontgomery's secretary, greets Egbert with a smile as she grants him permission to enter the superintendent's oiiice. The ready smile of the supervisor encourages him. Egbert's tied tongue un- twists itself to enter into the interview which he has so long anticipated. U91 , l

Student Body Supreme Court Egbert next faces a rather formidable assignment, the Board of Control, but he is not the least worried. He knows that the group will not recognize him from any previous encounter, for he has never violated any rules and his slate is clear as a bubble. Little does the reporter realize how soon he will find the material for the story, for he is to face the Board, not as an interviewer but as an offender who is pleading for his rights. That very day as our reporter is seated in one of his classes enjoying the teacherys narrative, the student bulletin bearer enters the room. In addition to the bulletin in her hand, she carries a pink slip. Of course all the pupils look at each other innocently trying to disclaim any connection with the pink slip. The teacher takes the slip and disinterestedly reads the name of the one who is doomed. Poor, unsuspecting Egbert is the victim. The slip tells him that he has received ten demerits for ditching a practice for the senior play and is to face the Board the next day during the seventh hour. He is terribly worried although he knows he is innocent of the charge, because he is not even in the senior play. He resolves not to fret and worry about it at all. The members of the Board are the Student Body Officers, the presidents of the Boys' Federation and Girls' League, class presidents, and a boy and a girl rep- resentative from each class. The athletic, dramatics, and social managers confer with the Board once a week. They excuse Egbert after hearing his plea, but they are anxious to find the student who substituted Egbert's name and number for his own.
