In the new bi- cameral legislature the Senate discusses the problems of a modern school and sends recommendations to be voted upon by the House of Representatives. The Senate consists of class officers and senators, Con- gress officers, representatives from various school organizations, and a faculty advisor. The House is the larger of the two bodies, including homeroom representatives, advisers, candidates of the last election, honorary members, and delegates from groups which have current problems. Honorary representatives are chosen by written applica- tion, club or organization memberships by vote of the House. This year Proscenium, publications, GAA, Assembly Club, Garcons, National Honor Society, and Varsity Club were represented. Congress offices are elective with the exception of sec- retary of the Senate, appointed by the presiding vice- president. Officers Ted Schwarz, treasurer, Linda Miller, secre- tary of the Senate, Jim Barger, president, Carol Dorman, secretary, and Henry Moore, vice-president.
