. . Democratic LIFE at AHS FACULTY COUNCIL Something new in the chain of school administration, and unique in Oregon public schools, is the faculty council organized two years ago by Principal Robert C. Bush. Established as a group to share in the responsibility of operating the school and to share in planning the school pro¬ gram the faculty council serves as a cabinet for the admin istration. Solving tough daily problems is one of the chief jobs of the council. Members of the group are elected from the faculty at large each fall. The entire faculty selects the chairman. Routine questions, as well as major policy problems, come before the council in the operation of the school. Ques¬ tions which arise from the faculty are aired before the group and recommendations are made and then taken before the entire faculty. Reuben Jensen is chairman of the faculty this year. The council was starled two years ago. Carl Bourne served as the first faculty chairman. Chief job of the group is to help assure smooth opera¬ tion in the clem,ocratic LIFE at AHS. lIF.rilK.N .IKVSK.N l ' ll. U!M. .N F.V ri.TV ( ' (irNCII. .Minx KI.1. SS(IN I.YI.K . l.u:v WlIKKI.KI!

Democratic LIFE at AHS STUDENT EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Student leadership is keynote at AHS and the key to student leadership in LIFE at AHS in 1953-54 was Jerry Smith, popular president of the associated students. In addition to coordinating the activities of the other student body officers, presiding over the student council end other tasks, Prexy Smith served as the liason between the principal and the students as well as between the faculty and the students. Problems which faced Smith and his staff of student body officers came from the students and the administration. Thus policy questions arising both from the students and the administration came before the student government. A chief question tackled by this year ' s group of student leaders were problems in relation to the construction of a proposed new high school. Student committee ' s helped the city school administration solve many questions in school plant planning. In this and other ways Smith ' s administration left a lasting impression on the democratic LIFE at AHS. .IKItItV S.MITII ;-Tri K. r irinY ItdK liKlTKI! l(l.
