E081 Bigl? SCDOOI Zllv. 3.29.35 Motto: Nonmzssa OBLIGE. JJ! . In the auditorium on Thursday, January Io, a meeting of the school was called preparatory to the election of the city ofiicials. Mr. Rannells read the constitution adopted last year, which with a few changes, was made the platform of this year. The constitution requires the election of a Mayor, who in turn appoints a Cabinet. The Cabinet consists ofa Director of Accounts, who has financial control of entertainments given in the school, a Director of Athletics, who keeps account of the records of different school teams, and who also acts as manager of the field day and track team, two Directors of Law and Order--a boy and a girl--who appoint the members of the Committee of Order, and a Director of the Building and Grounds, who is also Director of the Gymnasium. , The secretary of this board is elected from the Sophomore class. liach ward, with the exception of those which have students of dlH'.61'CIlt years, is entitled to one representative in the Council. A Prosecuting Attorney is elected from the Junior class. Before the Christmas vacation the campaign managers for the several candidates began their party strifes. Each one busied himself in organ- izing a strong support for his man, and East. High began to take into its halls quite an atmosphere of politics. Political cards were in evidence everywhere, the school paper became an enthusiastic organ, but far from being a sensational, maligning, partisan publication, it gave to contending candidates, equal advertising space, and avoided' cutting offits circulation. The height of excitement was reached, of course, on election day. Fast High citizens assembled in their auditorium, the candidates were nominated with all ceremony and the ballots cast. The votes for one candidate and another were jotted down on the bulletin-board, and the contending factions applauded or kept: silent as their favorite was ahead or behind. The sums total were found, the for- tunate candidates announced, then the customary speeches were made and East High School became again a municipality. I7
