STUDENT COURT The Student Court goes into its usual session every day balancing the evidence of the wrongly ac- cusedf' The position of the judges is a perplexing one, for they have to act as a mediator between the students and the teachers who pass out the blue stationary. They meet together second and third periods to discuss the affairs of the students who receive blue slips, giving them more than a chance to defend themselves be- fore the final judgment is passed. lf the court feels that the stu- dent has been wrong in his ac- tions, he is given a certain number of demerits. The Student Court's main sig- nificance is to act as the go-be- tween for the teachers and stu- dents and also to carry out the democratic policy of letting the students have the say in their own school government. SECOND SEMESTER JUDGES TOP: Clarence Willison, Barbara Adkisson, Jim Donnelly, Don Funk Gene Parks, Clifford Andrews, Dorothy Elioi, Arden Hustead. Elmer Sanborn, Myron Brown.

SENATE 4, 201.-sf for K T - kk ' X Q 4 JE' 1 Wfuc Talking about accomplishing things, here's one of the biggest and most energetic organizations at Excelsior, working for the betterment of the school. Cray-haired Senators, from their English, American Life, and Senior Problems classes, sit in the enate chamber discussing with the President the weighty matter of Ham- burgers - what makes 'em and what breaks 'em. They introduce improve- ments, reform old customs, and origi- nate entirely new and exciting ideas come directly from the students 'r classes. Kenny Mitchell, conducting the first semester Senate, and David Burnight as the leader of the second Senate, both have done excellent jobs in guiding the suggestions of the Pilots. The Sen rs, also, have done their oughly and efficiently in ng t e ideas from their classes to the attention of all. The Senate has and is doing much in connection with our ideas on the defense drive. Excelsior has profited much from this organization, and the students have had more voice in the operation of Student Body activities.
