0 I- INA 0-CN K TRIBUNAL Top Row: Guss, Kominars, Dansky. Front Row: Lowenfc-ls, Korn, August, Rose, Fischer. This term the Tribunal has endeavored to institute a new and different type of court. Its purpose is to deal with students who deliberately or through ignorance disobey school regulations. The organization is the same as in former terms, being composed of two 12B boys, two 12B girls, and one boy and one girl from l2A. They are elected by the Board of Directors, and they themselves elect a chairman, who, this term, is Harriet August. A prosecution staff under Attorney General Helen Korn, inves- tigates each case. By close coordination with the Patrol System, the Tribunal has greatly improved the school lunchrooms and corridors. Also, by revising the codification, which is a list of punishments prescribed for offenses, it has led the student body to feel that the Tribunal is interested in correcting cases and not merely in punishment. The Tribunal wishes to persuade students to do the right thing because it is right rather than because the offender will incur heavy punish- ment if he doesn't. Carefully kept records have proved this idea successful. Many laws have also been proposed in the Senate by the Tribunal that would clarify the student's rights. Many such have been passed. All together this judicial body has tried to be as effl- cient and impartial as possible and can look back on this term as a job well done. lHlHlH MXSHES UH lHllllH DAYS
