WINTER STUDENT GOVERNMENT During the past year the student government has increased in both strength and efficiency under the able leadership of William l-lorstman, during the winter months, and Herbert Griffin in the summer. There are now eleven guards and one captain for each period except noon when there are sixteen. Under Bill l-lorstman the school obtained bronze pins for the officers on duty while the President of the Student Body and the Commissioner of Self-Government were given similar gold pins which entitle them to permanent hall privileges. We are proud of our self-government organization, especially since it is a prerogative which is not enjoyed by all neighboring schools. ln some, members of the faculty perform the duties which here are imposed upon the student guards. These guards are under the general supervision of a student Commissioner of Self Government, nominated by the faculty adviser and elected by the student council. lt is his duty to select a captain for each period of the day, who in turn appoints the guards for that period. The real success of student government lies, however, not with these few guards, but with the entire student body. lt is the plan of the self government group to foster by means of questionnaires sent to home rooms, a desirable attitude toward student regulations.
