THE TATE OF ALCEE F GRTIER WILLIAM HOLLEY Governor BILL GAMBLE Lieutenant-Governor GEORGE GILL Secretary of State RONALD BLACK Treasurer NDER the able leadership of Governor Bill Holley, the Fortier student government during the past year made noteworthy advances toward improving the conditions of the State of Fortier . The first term's General Assembly, which went into office with Governor Holley and Lieutenant-Governor William Gamble last September, made an outstanding contribu- tion in presenting the State with a new constitution which was ratified by twenty-seven of the parishes in a special election on February 6. The Constitution was drawn up by a committee of the Assembly from a draft prepared by Bill Gamble. Several new offices and departments and a more rigorous organization were instituted. Other changes and additions were a preamble, a definite time of meeting, revised requirements for elected offi- cials, and a new method of ratifying amendments. George Gill was elected Secretary of State, Ronald Black was made Treasurer, and a new Legislature was sworn into of- fice in February. Steve Ackerman became Speaker of the House, and Leonard Weiss and Merle Sehnert were appointed Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms, respectively. The Senate elected Eddie Con- rad President pro tem, Willis Foster, Clerk, and John Green, Sergeant-at-Arms. Among the several projects undertaken dur- ing the term the most noteworthy were instituting the Advisory Board of school clubs, furthering the project to blacktop the rectangle, and the presenting of medals as athletic awards.
