Parliament Proceeded With School Affairs Parliament elections scheduled to be held in March, proved to be unnecessary. Lack of interest on the part of the student body resulted in the formation ofa small governing body. The group had a lot of business to complete before the end of school. ln addition to revising the constitution, they planned for the May elections for next fall's parliament. Another parliamentary responsibility was the reviewing of the budgets of all school athletic teams and money-raising organizations. The elubs were contacted and informed that they would have to submit bylaws and charters to Parliament before they Could be recognized. The two months provided a good foundation for next year's government. VVell, itys all up to you
