serves to acquaint the students with the duties and responsibilities that are connected with the running of the government. At Gratz. one of the major extra-curricular activities that a student may par- ticipate in is the Students Association. This organization was planned along the lilies of the national government, and while it does not expect to run the school, its prime objective is training in citizenship, and, secondly, to set up situations for students to learn democratic principles. It has three branches: the Senate. thc Court and the House of Representatives. each of which is nominated and elected directly by the students. However, the electing of officers is a privilege accorded only to members of the Students Association. Beside these three main groups, there are various committees which function under the direction of the Students Associa- tion. Some of these are: the monitors, Building and Grounds Committee. Six-Footers and Five-Foot I emmcs. Also, there are several committees which are jointly man- aged by the faculty and the students for the mutual good. These are the Assembly Program Committee and the School Health Council. The Sponsor of the Students Association is Mrs. Marion W. Wallace, who came from the VVilliam Penn High School in 1927 where she was assistant sponsor of student activities. Upon her arrival, she began the organization of our Students Association and has been its guiding light up to the present. Under her supervision Gratz has become one of the first schools in the city to have an extensive form of stu- dent government. Wlieii Mrs. Vvallace took her sabbatical leave from February. 1939, to February, 19410, Mrs. Marjorie Lange took over the reins of sponsorship and has kept the Students Association up to its high standard of excellence. Questioned on the importance of the student government movement, Mrs. VVal- lace stated, Instead of being an extra-curricular activity, student government is so important, in my estimation, that it should be made a regular part of the curriculum.
