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.

NATIONAL f x PONC5 599275 51 4 ? : l ' E NATIONAL ONOR SOCIETY HARACTER, Scholar- ship, Leadership and Service-these are the stan- dards of the National Honor Society. In every state of the Union, and in several of our insular possessions, there are high school chapters of the Society-over 2700 of them formed in twenty-four years of activity. The Honor Society, primarily an honorary or- ganization, gives recognition to students who prove themselves to be conscientious workers with a desire to help themselves and their school. The chapter at Fortier was organized in the Spring of 1942 by Mr. Karlem Reese, then a teacher here. The present officers are Stephen Ackerman, Morris Phillips, and Sidney Vail. The school treasurer, Mr. Stanley Fitzpatrick, was chosen to be our treasurer. Five members of the faculty serve as a faculty council, and an- other as sponsor, to aid the boys in any way possible. Much credit is due Mr. Reese, Miss Cecilia Grimm, the first sponsor, and Miss Wilma Lilburn, the present sponsor. On the faculty council now are Miss Eleonora Wallbillich, Mr. john Martin, Miss Ethel Pinski, Mr. Claude jones and Miss Lilburn. Under john Plattner, the City Council of Honor Societies was formed among the 'several chapters in the city. It has succeeded in organ- izing a chapter at John McDonogh High School. Under J. B. Kahn a memorial plaque for Fortier boys killed in action was dedicated in April of 1944. The only activity this year is a plaque for Honor Society boys in the armed services.
