Mr. Pohle Do students take part in school gov- ernment? There is no need for ques- tion-they really do! The development of Student Participation in School Governmentl, has been one of the out- standing achievements of the Altoona High School. The Student Senate is based somewhat on the plan of the state and national governing bodies. The members of this organization endeavor to uphold democratic ideas and to bring about school legislation for the better- ment of student welfare. The Student Senate is composed of twenty-two members. Two boys and two girls are chosen from each of the three classes and one representative is chosen from each of the major organizations of the school. Along with popular elec- OFFICERS President ..............,... James Carothers Vice President ....... Jack Moore Secretary ....,. ..... E thel Sheraw tudent Senate Participates In School Government tion, each member must have recom- mendations from his home room teacher, his subject teachers, and other faculty members as to character, lead- ership ability, and scholastic attain- ment. ln addition a scholastic average of at least eighty per cent must be main- tained. What deserving students they must be! Mr. Pohle, the sponsor, and the co- operating Senate members were 'aon the jobw the very first day of school, push- ing the activity ticket sale and organiz- ing the Corridor Patrol system. ln ad- dition to the work which has to do with cases of discipline and executive func- tions, the Senate has also been respon- sible for many other beneficial enter- prises undertaken in the school.

Senate has assisted in Parent-Teacher Association drives, established a more efhcient Lost and Found department, maintained a reception desk at the Fif- teenth Street entranceg sponsored Col- lege Night, assisted in the welfare work of the school, and has been responsible for patrolling the halls near the audi- torium to prevent unnecessary noise from disturbing assembly programs. Within the Senate, committees were formed to take care of the various re- sponsibilities-such as legislative, wel- fare, college night, auditorium, and ticket committees. The representatives of the Scnior Class are also members of the committee which plans the com- mencement program. Although the duties of the Senate are many and varied, there is time for social activity, as well. Several times during the course of the year, the Sen- ate Room was the scene of a luncheon held by the members of the Senate. Then, of course, there is the Senate Banquet, held annually. October lil- and l5 found the Senate members attending the State Conven- tion at DuBois, Pennsylvania.

The Altoona rep- resentative is second vice president of the state organization. All members of the senate, councils, and general organ- izations in the high schools of the state are privileged to become members of the state association. The purpose of these conventions is to discuss govern- mental problems which arise in the high schools throughout the state. ln connection with the state associa- tions, there is also a national associa- tion. The national conventions are usually held during the latter part of June. The national convention for 1938 was held in New York City and the convention for 1939 is scheduled for San Francisco, California. Altoona has been a pioneer in Stu- dent Participation in School Govern- ment. This organization has proved to be very helpful in making the Altoona High School a better school. By means of the state and national conventions, which are held annually, this student participation will continue to grow and will play a still greater part in the bet- terment of school welfare.
