Judicial Report The student Court, now in its third year of existence, has come a long way since it was first started. Mme. Chessex was again the Court faculty adviser. During the first semester Geneva Spalding was judge. The power to decide the fate of their classmates was held by Nancy Lee Hanson, Jean Watson, Marjorie Newell, Pat Scherrer, Susan Curtis and Lowell Vye. just after the second semester Council went into session, a new method for dealing with offenders was brought up by the council. A list of major of- fenses such as cheating, lying, or skipping school, and minor offenses such as library disturbances, uniform infractions, or tardiness, were compiled. The Court and Council then decided that three minor offenses would equal one major offense which would automatically carry the following penalty: the student would be deprived of her right to hold or run for office and to attend or vote at student assemblies. The Court was also authorized to inflict additional sentences if they saw fit. These by-laws were passed by the student body and went into effect after spring vacation. - The second Court of the year was headed by Nancy Lee Hanson, and the other members were Joan Frayn, Kathleen Billings, Martha Broughton, Ruth Helsell, Janet Lister, and Barbara Farnsworth. A slight change was made, however, when Sally Schroeder was appointed to take the place of a court member that took an unscheduled vacation along with nine other cohorts. For the benefit of those fortunate persons who never had the privilege of appearing before the court, an illustration of what goes on in those meetings is herewith given. Susy Q, it seems, has been apprehended for chewing gumg at least that is what the court slip says. She insists that it was a rubber band and decides to appear before the court to prove it. Her story is very good, all except for one little item--she just could not explain how she was able to blow bubbles with a rubber band. After dismissing her, the court takes a vote and the general concensus of opinion is that Susy Q is guilty! She receives a very unwanted piece of paper that informs her she must wrap silverware for one hour after school. Thus a member of the student body learns the cold and cruel workings of the court. Of course, it must be noted that not all students summoned before the court are guilty. Often times they are dismissed with a solemn warning or are completely acquitted. fl :gl t
