One from each class and three teachers chosen by the Legislature. It calls its meetings once a week, usually on Tuesday. The members this year are as follows: Jerry Anderson has held the position of Chief Justice, and Mary Scott, that of Clerk. The fol- lowing were justices: Lois Burley, Mary Heath Brainard, Weldon Faull, Floyd Figg, and Mary Lou Nott. The chief purpose of their meetings is to try cases arrested by the Monitors and sentence them. Upon a third indictment for the same charge a person is sent to the Supreme Court. This Court consists of five elected members. Three are from the Senior Class, and two from the Junior Class. The three senior members are John Fitzgerald, Robert Shearer, and Kendall Smith, The junior members are Robert Cain and Ladd Hamilton. Together with Mr. Sawdon they deal with cases beyond control of the Law Court. We feel that our court system has been very successful this year. Student Cabinet OFFICERS Presimlent - ---- Edwaril Ilnuck Vice-President ---- lflilwin Green Secretary - - Ili-tty Niles Treasurer ------ .lo Ann 'llmz The Student Cabinet consists of a repre- sentative group of students from the various classes. The Student Cabinet with The Legisla- tive Assembly, the Court, and Monitor system ac- complished much in furthering our Student Gov- ernment. Edward Bouck was elected President of the school and Edwin Green was elected Vice-Presi' dent, thus, he was automatically the speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The Cabinet this year has made no attempt whatsoever to make money as has been the cus- tom in the past. Our chief aim was to get the Student Government going in full swing. We also made the calendar for the school year. The Student Cabinet wishes to thank the student body, Mr. Sawdon, and faculty for help- ing carry on the system of Student Self-Govern- ment.

The Monitors Club The Monitors Club is a new club this year, being composed of the Law Commissioners and the Monitors. The club has originated from the Student Government system of the school. The Monitors act as policemen in the school because our Student Body is so large that it is necessary to have trafiic laws. these being enforced by the Monitors. The Monitors engaged in several trips and programs during the spring. 1 IVIONITORS CLUB lfirst lion' Nl. llrown, N. 'l'hnmais. ll. Marlin, .l. I-zilnlvle.

The Legislative Assembly One of the most important branches of Grand Ledge High Schoo1's present system of student government is the Legislative Assembly. It is in this legislative body that all bills for rules of conduct and other necessary regulations are originated. Since this year saw the introduction of a brand new constitution and an original system of government designed by the students themselves, the Legislative Assembly found itself faced with a huge task. However. in a few weeks the legislature had things well under control. They had passed bills regarding hall conduct, conduct in the gym. and in the cafeteria, a system of rules for tardiness and absences, and other necessary regulations. Our Legislative Body is unusual in that it is unicam- eral. Two members are elected from the required sections of each class, giving a total of thirty-four representatives. Mrs. Piepenburg, Miss Chase, Mr. Bollinger, and Miss Fuller served as advisers to the Legislature. Edwin Green, the vice-president of the cabinet. was Speaker of the House. HOP
