STUDENT COUNCIL-MINORS' GOVERNMENT The thirteen commissioners form a kind of executive board tor the Student Council and most of the commissioners have committees to help them in their iobs. Leading among these is the WELFARE COMMITTEE which steered the Magazine Drive and the class elections. We have many other committees which have worked as industriously. The STUDENT COURT is a major instrument in our student government for it hears and judges the cases of the students who have broken school laws. As the Vigilantes kept law and order in the days of the Gold Rush, so the SCHOOL SERVICE COMMISSION in charge of the Hall Patrol keeps our school in order. Club activities come under the ORGANIZATIONS COMMISSION and many improvements have been made in the working of the clubs. The SOCIAL COMMITTEE schedules all school social functions and sees that they don't conflict. The PUBLICATIONS DEPARTMENT, headed by the commissioners, gives us our own local color through the POT O' GOLD and PRISM. The PUBLICITY COM- MITTEE has charge of the bulletin boards and all posters and club announcements. The AWARDS COMMISSION'S big job comes toward the end of the year when they must select which seniors will receive awards for their achievements. FINANCE 'v' COMMITTEE not only sells the tickets to our assemblies and feature movies, but they also guarded the gold during the Magazine Drive. The ATHLETIC COMMISSION supervises the various phases of our athletics. Besides the regular activities of the year this committee sponsored two tournaments-an intramural basketball tournament and a table tennis tournament. The NATIONAL SERVICE COMMITTEE'S main iob is the sale of savings stamps, however, they are the connecting link between the government and the school in other activities. The ASSEMBLIES COMMITTEE functions in the preparing of programs and the maintaining of order in the auditorium.

Page I6 COMMITTEES-ACTIVE CREWS Some of the nuggets in our Pot O' Gold may be found here in our Student Council. Student Council members and the Student Commissioners, working with Harland Britz, our president, have succeeded in making our school government more efficient and smooth running. The individual is reached through the home room repre- sentatives who are the most important part of our system. They make the laws according to the wishes of the people they represent. All Student Council Committees work with the Commissioners' Committees. One of the most active of all committees is the BILL PREPARATORY COMMITTEE. This committee, on which all classes are represented, puts the laws that are proposed into finished form and presents them to the student body. The WELCOMING COMMITTEE, a newcomer to the Student Council, makes new students feel at home. This committee operates under the guidance of the Social Commissioner with the purpose of greeting new students and getting them acquainted with the school and its activities. Our faculty adviser, Mr. Robert Rettig, has been very liberal in letting the students express their own views. MR. ROBERT E. RETTIG
