It had been decided not to have any G. O. dues this year in order that all the student body could vote. The candidates for the Presidency were Paul Davis, Beecher Chapin and Jack Coons. Candidates for Vice President were Mary Ellen Page, Venus Dipson and Marjorie Rankin. The results of the election gave us Paul Davis and Mary Ellen Page as our new oflicers. President Davis called the first G. O. meeting September 28th. There was the business of launching this year's G. O. for a successful year. The President appointed a Constitution Committee for the pur- pose of rewriting our Constitution. It was necessary to malce several changes so that our G. O. actions would not be violating the Constitution. We also had a disciplinary council appointed. The duty of this council was to deal with all cases of discipline that came up before the council. This committee worked very satisfactorily on the several cases. The Council, with the help of Mr. Cofran, established our Honor Study Halls. We are hoping these will be a permanent fixture in our school from now on. One of the outstanding accomplishments of our Council was the ap- pointment of a Committee to write up a new students' handbook.. So many things have changed since the old handbook was published that it is of small value to the students.
