Second Sernestcl' STUDENT GGVERNMENT INCE 1924, the students ot Excelsior have successfully developed a system of student government. The Constitution which was First adopted, gave only limited powers to those OHSICCYS who carried on the governmental work. Later the Constitution was made more liberal and today each semester president, vice-president, secretary, and sergeant-at-arms are elected by the students. A treasurer, is appoint- ed by the head of the commercial department. These officers carry on the duties of the student body, take charge of the assem- blies, check the student body funds, and maintain a student court. To insure order and obedience, the merit system has been employed. At the beginning of each semester every student receives one hundred merits. For any offense committed by him he receives a blue slip. This slip may be issued by either a teacher or by a student cop. He is then brought before student judges, and is given an oppor- tunity to state his case. If he is found guilty, a certain number of demirits are de- ducted from his merit record. This system has been very effective in keeping good behavior among the students. The court operates under the direction of the chief justice who works in con- junction with a corps of police officers appointed each semester by the dean of boys. Nineteen
