tie! 5 2 P 1 avg! U' f 'M GW m i iffb'-4' ' 1 , 3 H I STUDENT SENATE It's fall and G.O. election time! New leaves were enthusiastically turned over when we filed petitions, wrote convincing campaign speeches, and finally cast ballots for our chosen leaders. Bob Devling acted as the presi- dent of the G.O. this year and in his quiet way, with Lottie Warner's able assistance as secretary-treasurer,and with students from the various classes acting as representatives,he carried on the functions of the G.O. effective- ly. Clubs were chartered by the G.O. Senate and given permission to follow their planned budgets for social activities and money-raising affairs. Sea- sonal dances such as the Harvest Ball, Sadie Hawkins Dance, Senior Ball, and Junior Prom opened new social opportunities for us. Along this line, we gained poise in entertaining at our dinner parties, banquets, and teas. And oh, what fun it was to sing and play our hearts out at the concerts and fes- tivals, to shout 'til your voice was hoarse for our flying Dutchmen, to lav- ishly trim the building for the mammoth carnival, and to see the sights on our extra-curricular trips. we took advantage of the many opportunities which opened new fields for us. Learning the skills of journalism, public speaking, and dramatics was very satisfying to our ego. It was gratifying to know we were successful salesmen at the close of the fudge, socks, and baked goods sales. The Senate annually feels a sense of pride in setting the goals and reaching them in the united charities drive and magazine sale. Students who sold magazines showed individual initiative in salesmanship and won for themselves prizes given by the Senate. The Student Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Ted Bemb per- formed its duties with impartiality and fairness. The monitors, bus captains and ushers all assumed an important roll in teaching good citizenship and civic responsibility. As each new season of the year seems more impressive and better than the last so too does our student government. Pro- gressiveness and strength are characteristics of de- mocracy as the sturdy oak and rich sod are charac- , teristic of our enduring IQ Mother Nature .
