A 1 1 drew Rice Un 'laiiuary ll, l9?3f9, the first meeting of the lYisconsin High School Council was called to order. ltehintl this simple statement lies the story of a great achievement-the introduction of true democratic government into our school culminating in the adoption of the XYisconsin High School Constitution on December 4, by a vote of 266 to 6-l. For three months representatives of each class, the faculty, and the administration had worked to provide a plan whereby a new system of self- government could be inaugurated for the entire school. It was this convention which prepared the constitution we follow to-day. The chief feature of this new form of representative government is the Council composed of twenty members, elected by each class, interest group, the faculty, and the participators. Already it has made definite strides ahead for the betterment of the school. A system of library privileges has been introduced, the question of clubs has been exhaustively probed through the means of a question- naire, to mention only two of the accomplishments achieved in but a semester of work. The Cbnstitution further provides for initiative, referendum, recall, and a judicial body to settle questions of constitutionality, as essential parts of a fleiiiocracy, And so, if there is anything in which we may be justifiably proud, it is our Constitution and our Council, established in order to make us function more deinocratically, gain experience in the responsibilities of self-government, advise the adininistration in regard to student welfare, and help make this school a more desirable place in which to live. -3-
