STUDE T CABINET BACK ROW: Barbara Durance, Jessie Allen, Jerry Gaillac, Gloria St. Peter. FRONT ROW: John Burnham, Bill Long, Bob Benson, Gerald Pitzer, Roger Young, Chester Whitman. The core of student activities in our house is the Student Cabinet, where the legislation affecting the entire student body originates and the drives in which the school participates begin in regular Thursday meetings. The Cabinet is headed by the student body president Bill Long and vice president Roger Young. Other members are a secretary Cnon- votingb, a Girls Club representative, Boys Club representative and a representative from each of the four classes. Three additional repre- sentatives, appointed by the president, lead the research, assembly, and executive committees. The Senior Class conducted roll discussions on such problems as running in the halls, as- sembly conduct and behavior on the buses. It also printed and distributed the How Book to all incoming freshmen and sophomores. The Junior Class conducted an attendance drive, while the Sophomores headed the cloth- ing drive, managed the Sth Victory Loan Drive and the Red Cross Drive. The Freshman Class cooperated with the Sophomores. The research committee prepared an amendment to the Chess Club constitution, presented a bill on the amendment, discussed the possibility of buying a new juke box, and explored the possibilities of having regular size movies shown at assemblies. Idea boxes were set up to give all students the opportunity to express their ideas concerning student govern- ment. In addition, the research committee cooperated with Mr. Mackey in conducting the search for an original school song, A commemoration day for the ratification of the constitution was executed by the research committee. The assembly committee worked with Mr. Fulton and Miss Phillips in organizing and planning assemblies. The executive committee worked on ways to lessen running in the halls. While all divisions of the Cabinet worked on separate projects, the major works of investi- gation for the year were the installation of a room public address system, and the establish- ment of a Merit Code System, which com- pletely revised the present demerit system. The Student Cabinet is symbolic of the building and the upkeep of peace that rests in our hands, and it is only through such an effective student organization as the Cabinet that the principles of justice and equality can prevail. 17
