SENATE SPONSORS y , , Mr. Pegg, a sponsor of this governing body and a State Director of the Student Participation in School Government organization, speaks about Parents? Visitation Day to be observed next Friday, after school. He requests the presence ol all Senate members to help direct the visitors to the different class rooms and guide them through the building. Plans are then made for the State Convention at State College. Two delegates are chosen, but all Senate members are asked to attend. A letter of inquiry from another high school is read by the secretary. This letter contains questions concerning the organization of a student senate such as ours, and queries concerning work which we do and the number of members in the group. Two other letters are also read. The first, from the National Association headquarters, contains a request for a uwrite-upi' and a picture of our Senate, to be published in the National Association Magazine. The second, from Governor Earle, congratulates the Senate upon the great progress which it has made. Two senators volunteer to take charge of the Lost and Found Depart- ment for the coming week. The president then requests the members to be ready to offer suggestions for the Senateis annual banquet, which will be arranged at the next meeting. Miss Krick, another sponsor of this governmental body, gives invaluable assis- tance with plans for such festivities and her beautiful flowers, so graciously contributed, have been used on numerous occasions. The president also asks each member to observe the building and give plans for improving the appearance of our school. There beinff no other business the meeting is ad'ourned. . . D 7 C .l This is an example of a typical Senate meeting taken from the records kept by the secretary. ln addition to taking care of important problems which come up unexpectedly, the Senate members, as part of their routine duties, take tickets for different assembly programs, assist with the welfare work of the school, handle Parent-Teacher Association tickets, take charge of the Reception Desk, and conduct the Corridor Patrol.
