Q GARY SMITH Student Body President STUDENT GOVERNMENT Student government plays an important part in the life of the S.F.H.S. student. Through the years a stu- dent government system has developed which is pat- terned after the United States government. The execu- tive branch is composed of the President, Vice Presi- dent, and his Cabinet. The president is elected by the student body by the Australian ballot system. This year Gary Smith was elected to this office. The president's main duty is to appoint his cabinet, preside over cabinet meetings every Wednesday, and see that his cabinet fulfills its duties. The cabinet duties range from selling student body cards to advising the president. The Secretary of Treas- ury supervises the selling of student body cards and the disbursement of student body funds. The Secretary of lntra-School Affairs controls the school calendar and all dates must be approved by her committee before being placed on the calendar. The Secretary of Inter- School Affairs is in charge of our relationship with oth- er schools and attends all inter-school meetings. The Secretary of Public Relations is in charge of all publicity of school events. The Attorney General advises the president on legal affairs. Through the combined efforts of the President and his cabinet, the executive branch of the new con- stitution has functioned successfully.

SENATE Something new which was introduced into student gov- ernment by our new constitution is the Senate. The Senate is composed of two representatives from each class and one from each organization who have been chosen by ma- jority vote to serve for one school year. This group meets the first and third Monday of each month. The president of the group is the Vice President of the Student Body. The Vice President is elected in the same manner as the President. The Senate elects a president pro-tem, and a parliamen- tarian, this year being Gerald Whitley and Diane Downie, respectively. The secretary or clerk of the Senate, this year Sally Cyphers, is appointed by the President of the Student Body and approved by the Senate. The purpose of the Senate is to discuss bills and legisla- tion tor the students' benefit. All bills and legislation must be passed by a majority vote of the Senate and then must be passed by the House of Representatives and President of the Student Body before going into effect. Although the ideas and processes of our constitution were very new to the Senators, the Senate has worked to make its branch of the student government function effectively.
