73 Observe Strict Law Rules Capable leader of Student Senate for i960- 6l was Ann Kovacovich, student body vice- president. Her sense of fair play and firm control of every situation guided the legisla- tive body through many a stormy session. Sponsor was Mr. Elmer Felton, who explained legislative terms and procedures and advised the Senate when it seemed to tread thin ice. Intelligent discussion and efficient treatment of bills marked this body as most efficient. Highlight of second semester was a tour of the Arizona Legislature and the State Capitol while the senate and house were in session. A visit with the Governor and explanation of the Superior Court operations were included in the worthwhile trip. Members were im- pressed with procedures in the legislature which resembled actions of the school Senate. WE'LL D0 IT!

An accurate balance of representa- tion is kept, with each class electing its own senators. This year the Senate raised a strong- er-than-ever voice for needed reforms. Most ambitious of these was a full-scale study of the C merit system. The ad- . ministration is giving serious consideration to the Senate's recommen- dation this school term. 1 Mehagian, Heflin, Bob Blanchard, Ramenofsky, Stolfa, Hess, Samuelson, Sheri Guirey, Arnote, Fillmore.

Besides enacting reforms, the Senate furth- ered the cause of the cause of the student body by means of fund-raising projects. Start- ing the school year with a deficit, the group upped its treasury balance to over 52000. Projects included sale of Foreign Exchange stock, magazine subscriptions, a talent show, and sale of colorful Bobcat pins. Central was well represented at the Arizona Student Council Convention in Scottsdale this year by Senators Pat Mclvlonigle and Ken Weiss, who reported interesting and valuable information back to the CeHS legislators. As CHS grows in importance, the Senate hopes to streamline many facets of student government. Leaders especially want to bring new ideas on assemblies and the honor system. 6

BEST SELLER: Girls' League officers looking over some of the scenic note paper sold by the group are Vice- President Cindy Eisenbeiss, President Libby Bate, Treasurer Joanna Driskell, Secretary Mary Ann Wahl, and Spon- sor of Girls' League, Lucille Risley. This Girls' League Really Led Functioning as a service organization, Girls' League traditionally assists in bringing Central coeds closer to the school, both through social events and worthy projects. Using the four class councils as a nucleus, the League successfully completed many programs, benefiting others as well as themselves. Among projects undertaken were Central High School note paper sales, pickle sales, and the adop- tion of several needy families at Christmas time. GIRLS' LEAGUE CABINET tackles another problem. FRONT: Seabury, Myers, Wahl, Eisenbeiss, Bate, Driskell, Dick, Lay, ln addition to fund-raising activities, Girls' League sponsored numerous social functions through the year. The annual formal, Mystic April, was a de- lightful affair and a tremendous success. The an- nual mother-daughter and father-daughter teas were well planned and therefore enjoyed by all who attended, Another annual tradition of the League was the presentation of two scholarships to senior girls, to induce interest in higher education.
