WINTER PRESIDENTS' FORUM About a year ago it was decided that a committee representative of the whole school was needed for the purpose of giving suggestions relative to the running of the student body. For this purpose Miss Babson organized a group called the Presidents' Forum consisting of the presidents of all the home rooms. During the past year this group has become very important in the administration of the affairs of the school. The discussion of the presidehts with their rooms followed by meet- ings with Miss Babson have been instrumental in bringing about many worthwhile changes including the improvement of the cafeteria and type of assemblies. Early this year the Presidents' Forum of all the Los Angeles high schools evolved a preamble for a code of ethics. Our own Presidents' Forum has since been engaged in elaborating this preamble into a code of ethics for our own school, For this purpose the Forum divided itself into four committees, each inviting a member of the faculty to act as an adviser and choosing to work upon one section of the code. From these joint committees composed of students and faculty came questionnaires which were submitted to the student body for discussion. From student suggestions thus obtained the cada of ethics is being formulated. SUMMER The TOTEM - page twenty-four
