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. Secretary of Finance---To keep an account of all dues, fines or collections within the schoolg to see to the budget and distribute the funds among the various departments. Secretary of Property---To work with the aid of Sponsor, Principal. Vice-Principal. teachers and janitors in trying to keep the school property in the best of condition- Secretary of Exhibitions---To aid the sponsor in collecting, displaying and re- turning all work to be placed on exhibit. Secretary of Plays and Operettas---To assist the dramatic and music departments of the school in all performances.

Secretary of Sections---To work with sponsor in trying to work out a program to beusecl in the section rooms and improving the citizenshipof the students of Hamilton. 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. The Student Congress as in National government consists of two Houses. The Senate, is made up of one representative from each grade. The work of the Senate is not so definite.
