lf On December 2 Pete Castle was kept busy as building inspector. STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY Student Government Day is the annual opportunity for the high school students to run the city and to get the feeling and idea behind the functioning of a local municipality. The schools in Livonia involved in the Student Government Day are Clarenceville, Ladywood, and Bentley. The different students representing the schools in- volved in Student Government Day must submit petitions that have been signed by different students. Students campaign at other schools in order to get as many votes as possible. To help make their names familiar to the students posters are placed in all the schools. When voting the students vote for the student who they think would be the best man for the particular iob. Having a Student Government Day gives the students a chance to know what a responsibility it is to run a city. Each student, though not elected to a special position, does get appointed to some specific job in the city government.
