Formerly the Court consisted of six judges and a Chief Justice. In order to cut down on many disputes, the new constitution provides for a judicial power of three judges. Student Court is organized to provide remedial in- struction to students who have broken school rules.t Knights, Las Laureas, and Coeds issue citations to stu-l dents in this category. A hearing is held where the case is heard as in actual court situations. Appropriate measures are then taken by the court to prevent further violations of school rules. cfs, ' The Student Senate is composed iof activity leaders and is presided over by the Student Body President. The purpose of the senate is to formulate ideas lot service and interest into plans that will benefit the student body. W This year the Student Senate insti- gated a spirited program to arouse in- terest in student activities, revised the student handbook, proposed new book covers, and sold sweat shirts to be worn at sports activities. l A novelty this year was the exchange senate with Hawthorne High and San Pedro High where students observed other senates in action and gathered in- formation to improve their own senate organization. On the agenda for next year will be the foreign exchange program which will enable students of foreign nations to visit our campus for a year. WINTER SENATE-Row 'I: T. Epple, D, Burt, N. Polizzi, C.

NICK AND DICK HEAD STUDENT BODY FDR '62-'63 S'63 President - Dick Burt During Nick Polizzi's term as Student Body President of Gardena High School, many im- provements were made in the organization of student government. Among these were reor- ganization of the Student Court, complete re- vision of the point system, and strengthening of the House of Representatives. Being President was the greatest achieve- ment of my high school career. I shall always remember G. H. S.: the faculty, the student body, and the days I spent there. They were the greatest days of my life, W5 Since his victory in the election of officers S '63, President Dick Burt has brought to our student body an interest in international af- fairs. This year, students of Gardena's Inter- national Relations classes represented Nigeria at the model United Nations at Loyola Uni- versity. Through the efforts of Dick, G. H. S. will have its first foreign exchange student since 1960. Among the other accomplishments of Dick's term are the organization of the Speech and Debate Club, the revision of the Student Hand- book, and promotion of school spirit through the spirit program and spirit week. My high school career reached its high- point when I was elected Student Body Presi- dent of Gardena High School. As President, I tried to execute the various functions of my office in the best interests of the student body and in a manner befitting that esteemed office. It has been a great honor.
