THE HAMILTONIAN New Student Government TTI-IE beginning of this semestera new form of school government was established at Hamilton. This new form is similar to the government of the United States, being composed ofa President. a Vice-President, Cabinet. Senate and a House of Representatives. The Cabinet is composed of the following officers: the President, Vice President and thirteen secretaries, whose offices are: Publications. Exhibitions, Clubs, As- semblies, Safety. Property, Plays and Oper- ettas, Sections, Scholarship. Social Affairs, Boys Activities and Girls League. Each member of the Cabinet has a certain definite duty to preform. Each officer has one sponsor. Every cabinet member is expected to fulfill the duties required of him. If by any chance this is not done, the member will be asked to resign. The summary of the duties of Cabinet members are as follows: The Vice-President---To preside at Cabinet meeting when President is absent. preside at House of Representatives when their appointed chairman is absent. Secretary of Publications---To collect all news for publication in the Eagle, to as- sist the managers of the Annual, and pro- mote publicity for the school.

This is only an outline ofthe duties of the various cabinet members. One of the more important requirements of a cabinet member is that he put on a progrrun in an assembly, a program that would be appropiate for his office. For ex- ample: the Secretary of Plays and Oper- ettas would probably give a program which would bc connected with the school play, or the Secretary of Property would probably give a program in connection with the care of school and personal property. Several of our cabinet members have been invited to speak at various meetings. Recently the Secretary of Safety attended a banquet at Franklin Junior High School and gave a short talk.
