STUDENT DAIQTICIDATION -THE GDAL Promotion of student Welfare is the purpose of the All Calumet Civic League. This year it expended 3250.00 for school assemblies and 3250.00 for school improvements. It operates through three depart- ments: the Student Council, the Student Court, and the Executive Council. The Student Council, called in the constitution the General Assem- bly, is composed of delegates from each division in the school who meet in Room 215 eighth period on Tuesdays. This miniature Congress, the upper house of the bi-cameral legislative body, and presided over by the president, meets to discuss matters pertaining to general Welfare. For example. the purchase of sound projectors for classroom use and of a public address system were matters discussed this year. Money to finance the annual Clean.-up Campaign comes by majority vote of this House. Delegates collect dues, sell tickets, sponsor collections for the Chil- dren's Aid Society, for the Red Cross, and for the Roosevelt Fund to combat infantile paralysis. The Student Court is composed of seven justices, one from each of the semester divisions above lB. It convenes Weekly and passes upon the constitutionality of all legislation. It has jurisdiction, also, over minor offenses of pupils. It tries offenders arrested by hall guards, and punishes those declared guilty with extra study periods. The seven justices sit together on each case and a majority vote decides the fate of the defendant. The Executive Council provides the school organizations with a voice in student government. Its members are the presidents from each club and class. It meets weekly in lively sessions to initiate new laws and to present them to the General Assembly in the form of recom- mendations. WESTCOTT A. C. C. L. The Westcott A. C. C. L. is aliiliated with the Calumet A. C. C. L. The aims and objectives of these organizations are identical. The activi- ties of the Westcott branch include an annual circus as well as many socials and parties. 1939 pronts from such festivities will be used to purchase a moving picture machine and a public address system for the school. These organizations demonstrate beyond question that well regu- lated mingling of the student body in an all school organization results in an harmonious cooperation that benehts the individual pupil and the school and community as well.

Desire for membership is the only requisite and in 1938-39 approximately ninety-eight per cent of the student body was enrolled. Mr. Joseph Dickman sponsors this organization and Russell Bath is its efficient president. He owes his election to a clever campaign slogan 'ATake a Bath for President and to the devotion of his able campaign managers Terry Portz, Howard Staff, and Bob Purdue. He is assisted by Allan Burris, vice-president: Winifred Beals, secretary, and Lorraine Curtin, treasurer. v v s

LOCAL NEWS 6 The world's greatest newspaper? Without even so much as stopping to deliberate the matter, any thinking person will immediately snap. The Calumet Crierln Perhaps its scope is not as large as that of the city papers. but when it can scoop them. as it has done, we know that a story covered by the Crier may be considered as blanketed. The Crier has few things in common with the ordinary paper. First. it prints the truth: second, it advocates no foreign policy: third, it cares not whether the streets are paved or the garbage collected: and fourth, it plays no political favorites. Though there are many more, these few reasons should serve as ample proof of the Crier's superiority. lt IS a good paper. Observing its twenty-third birthday, the Crier again won the All- American rating. This has been a year of variety issues. For instance, for Halloween the paper was orange and the type black: Thanksgiving saw a pumpkin yellow edition: St. Patrick's day was greeted with green ink: the April Pools' issue was one of super-silly content. Following the staffs trip to Indianapolis. Indiana, for the National Scholastic Press Association convention, the Crier received a new hair-do in the manner of streamlining. Many technical changes were made to facilitate its readability and general appearance. Too, there has been a jump in the number of pictures per issue. One of the more radical changes made during the last year was the attempt to change the price from five to three cents. Because of the students' rapid response to the idea, the lowered price has gone into permanent effect. Most credit for this change is due Raymond Griffin, faculty member in charge of circulation.
