STU DENT DIPCCTODS SCHOOL COUNCIL As the legislative branch of the B.H.S. three-in-one school government, the School Council was busily engaged in regulating elections, granting organiza- tion charters, and furthering proper be- havior throughout the school. Under the leadership of Paul Gold- man, the Council sponso red several school Improvement plans during the year. By soliciting the financial support of many B.H.S. organizations. It was largely responsible for the publication of this year ' s Students ' Handbook; by sending outlines of the school constitu- tion to every house, it provided a useful basis for draft-house constitutions; by setting forth plans for a cooperative store, it gave an opportunity for stu- dents to purchase school supplies at very low prices. Throughout the year Coun- cil representatives were sent to New England conferences where they dis- cussed school life and government, gain- ing many useful Ideas from the repre- sentatives of other schools. The School Council Is an organization of great Influence to the school, and It is an Integral part of the model govern- ment of which B.H.S. may well be proud.

COURT OF JUSTICE Folding up their powdered wigs and long black robes, the members of this year ' s Court of Justice ended another successful term of judicial procedure. To begin the season the court held a mock trial wherein Peter Levison was charged with misconduct In the lunchroom. I know the knave; hang him! was the substance of prosecuting attorney, David Silverman ' s, account, while the defense valiantly strove to clear the defendant of all charges. The prosecution was victorious when a verdict of guilty was announced, and the mock criminal was led away to a week ' s hard labor in the cafeteria. This year a new plan was adopted by the court; the accused had the oppor- tunity of conferring with Mr. Mitchell, the Guidance instructor, which, in many cases, eliminated the necessity for a trial. Guided by Mr. Keene and led by Ghief Justice Herbert Swartz, this group tried cases of lunchroom and corridor misbehavior and Imposed punishment on all offenders throughout the year. The main purpose of this Judicial body Is to aid school government by prosecut- ing all those disobeying marshal regu- lations. The Court of Justice Is a valu- able school organization, promoting good behavior for B.H.S. and affording wonderful experience in judicial prac- tices for Its members. Faculty Adviser; MR.
