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

Involved Students Drafted Constitution Steering Committee was a group of dedicated Foss students who gave much of their time, lincluding the weelc of September vacationl, to the developement of Foss' government. Researching the governments of other high schools, the committee decided on a parliamentary system for Foss. Once this major decision had been made, the biggest chore, the drafting of the constitution, began. ln February, approximately five months after it began, the committee presented the finished constitution to the student body.

About thirty girls became actively involved, though theoretically every girl at Foss is a member. In November, the girls held a potluck dinner at the school to recruit members. ln December, the growing club held a bake sale at the new Fred Meyer across the street. Dne of the biggest money raisers was their January Slave Sale . Each girl was auctioned off to the highest bidder, who then became her master for the day. ln the spring the club sponsored a formal Dutch Dance. Either the guy or the girl could do the asking, making it easier for more people to become involved. Involvement was the main purpose of Foss' first Girls' Club. Potential masters made bids for slaves
