N We, the juniors of Grove City High School, in order to form a more perfect senior class, establish good grades, insure teacheristic tran- quility, provide for the common examination, promote the general welfare of the underclass- men, and secure the blessings of a diploma to ourselves and to our posterity, do ordain and establish this creed for the junior class of Grove City High. Article I-Legislative Department All powers should be vested in the students. Article II-Executive Department The power should be centered in our class president. He shall hold office as long as we are juniors-which may be quite a while. Each junior should be encouraged to vote at a direct election. Page Twenty i Article III-Judicial Department The teachers shall be the judges - but maybe we can get along without them. Article IV-Relations To Each Other The relations - ahem! - of the junior class shall be only close enough to keep order. Now the boys and girls will only be allowed two per seat - one girl can't have two boys. There shall be no fighting or taking up of arms of any sort, regardless of type of arm - fat, chubby, slender, or smooth. Article V--Amendments Whenever two-thirds of the juniors deem it necessary, a party shall be called for propos- ing amendments. The kids shall not stay too lateg and the affair shall be broken up before the amendments - pardon us, the -hair - be- gins to fly. ght JUNIOR

All fights of the juniors and treaties Cmaking up after the battlej shall be made under the au- thority of this constitution and no foreign na- tion - such as a teacher -- is to step in to stop any such proceedings. Article VII-Ratification The votes of nine plus nine students will be sufficient for the establishment of this Con- stitution. FURTHERMORE : We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all juniors are created equalg that they are endowed by the school with certain unalien- able rights, that among these are life Cwith cooler slipsj, liberty fbut not to chew gumj and pursuit of studies. That, to secure these rights, teachers are instituted among us, deriv- ing their just powers from the consent of the studentsg that whenever any government be- comes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the students to strike - sit-down or otherwise - and to institute a change of teachers, laying its ideas on such principles, and organizing its power in such a form as to the students shall seem more likely to effect their safety and happiness. But don't get we juniors wrong -- we love school. CThus far no amendments having been proposed, we shall adjournj Page Twenty nine
