Student Government, NE of the main comhined efforts of our students and faculty, this year, is to have a smooth and efficient student government. The first step was to find out how other schools governed themselves: the second step was to write a constitution to hase our government on: the third step was to write a handhook which would give the constitution and other details pertaining to our governmentg and the fourth step was to put all this material into use. The first three steps were accomplished hy the junior The Trunk of the Tree Class last year and the last was put into active use hy the student hody and faculty this year. There have heen many humps and detours in putting this progressive idea into action, hut no government is ever perfect. The faculty, council, and committee leaders have found it very sucf cessful to have joint meetings to discuss effective ways of smoothing over our difficulties. Witli this comhination of experience and new ideas we hope to form a firm foundation on which our student democracy may continue to develop. Page Twenty-seven

for infringement of the rules and byflaws of the Constitution and Handbook. There are eight committees which have been formed to give each person an active part in student government and to help conduct school business. The Fine Arts Committee, headed by Sylvia Clise and Marilyn Goetz the first semester, and jean Stirrat the second semester, has been responsible for the hall exhibits and bulletin boards. They have brought us information conf cerning current plays and concerts, and also have brought us local artists in the fields of art, drama, and music to further our appreciation in these fields. Pat Kelly and Barbara Earling have been responsible for the Social Committee's activities this year. They have arranged our special school parties, the seating in the lunchroom, and they have created a special feeling of hospitality to' ward all newcomers and guests. As the Property Committee leaders, Virginia King and Jessie Franzheim have accomplished a great deal for the establishment of good taste, appearance and neatness. With surprise uniform drills, locker inspections, and Lost and Found auctions, they have made us conscious of a neater school and student body. The Publication Committee has produced successfully this year under the able editors Leslie Denman and Virginia Price, the Bush Barometer. In this they have faithfully recorded GOVERNMENT the lives and activities of the students and faculty and have been been given several scoops, such as the cast of the Senior Play. Ginny Poole and Bonnie Jean Berg have been the capable conductors of the Assembly Com- mittee meetings. This committee has been responsible for the Assemblies, which have brought us classroom projects and outstanding speakers on subjects that will interest us. They have also cooperated with the different Com- mittees making it possible for them to give Assemblies in their different fields. The Sports Committee has been ably guided by Bebe Paul and Sylvia Clise. Their job has been to take charge of all major and minor sports among the classes. They have arranged tourna- ments in baseball, basketball, ping pong, and other sports and have been in charge of all athletic equipment. Ginny Poole, the president of the Library Committee, has been responsible for the Lend' afBook Club. The Club was started with the aim of getting every girl in the school to lend a book to the library, so that other girls might have the pleasure of enlarging their literary acquant- ances. Another of their duties is to keep track of the books and their fines in the library. The Social Service Committee has taken in its stride the Red Cross Drive, providing suit' able entertainment for the Children's Home, Red Cross bandages and knitting, CleanfUp day, and in general helping the war effort in our com- munity. Nina Winsloxv has directed this project. .l Page Twenty-nine
