Pecos Bill had a thrilling and successful career in Texas because he did all things precisely. Consequently, we have a Senate, sponsored by Dr. Mabel Haller, which regulates stu- dent activities and enforces regulations about the school just as perfectly. It is the legislative body and is comprised of a senator from each homeroom. It functions through eight committees work- ing for the improvement of the school. These committees are: Publicity, Club Charter, Usher, P.T.C., Budget, Social Service, Safety, and Entertainment. Senate meetings are presided over by the chairman, Morris Davis. In his absence William McDaniel, the vice-chairman, presides. We also give credit to Rosalee Washington, secre- tary of the Senate, for an outstanding job. The Senate Miss McGlathery- Treasurer of C.A. 12B SENATORS First Row: Bivins, Washington, McGuire, Hyden. Second Row: Goldstein, Parris, Sneidman.
