STUDENT SENATE ' ECAUSE the Altoona Senior High School desired a standard of student government unexcelled in initiative and progressiveness, a plan was inaugurated several years ago which enabled the student body to take an active part in the government of the school. An organization under the title Student Council was put into effect. Although successful as a pioneer movement, a lack of understanding and a misinterpretation of the function of the council made a change advisable. For this reason a new plan was inaug- urated, Student Participation in School Govern- yll ment. This organization consists of two branches Mr' Pegg -a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of two boys and two girls elected from each of the three classes and one representative from each of the major organizations of the school. This body meets regularly each Friday morning. The House of Repre- sentatives, composed of the Home Room presidents, holds bi-weekly meetings. The duties of the Senate include sponsoring the activity ticket saleg super- vising certain student activities, organizing the Corridor Patrolg assisting with the Parent-Teacher membership drive and with welfare drives to secure food and financial assistance for needy students. It is also through the efforts of the Senate that some of the fine assembly programs of the year have been made possible. ' This year has been an unusually active one for the Senate members. The lost and found department, formerly located in the attendance office, was moved to the Mountain Echo office and placed in charge of the Senators. Members of the group conducted the sale of tickets for the street carnival sponsored by the P. T. A. welfare committee and worked in the concession booths. They also aided the P. T. A. with 6'Open Housefl when three of the regular daytime class periods were held in the evening so that parents might have an oppor- tunity to see the High School in action. On this occasion the representatives served as guides and gave information to visitors. The Altoona High School Student Senate takes an active interest in the National Association of Student Government. Jack Neal, 1934-1935 presi- dent of the Altoona organization and president of the National Association during the same period, was instrumental in the organization of a State Chapter known as the Pennsylvania State Association of Student Participation in School Government.
