This year above all years the M. S. G. A. has worked to bring about a better democratic class government. The main topic for discussion was the class cabinet plan, which provided for a cabinet of seven in the freshman and sophomore classes and a cabinet of nine for the junior and senior classes. The methods of nominating candidates have also been revised. Another feature of this year's student government was the first night party of Morton's career-The Yuletide Frolic. This Christmas party was a huge success, and it is certain that they have established a custom. The welfare committee under the direction of Miss Austin brought happiness to many a family in Cicero, Berwyn, Lyons, and Stickney. This happiness was brought about by the contributions received at the committee's annual Serpentine Swing, Old Clothes Assembly, F aculty-Varsity basketball game, and the White Elephant Auction. ' Morton's school spirit was at its highest this year which may partly be accred- ited to the M. S. G. A. Athletic and Booster Committee and partly to successful seasons. The M. S. G. A. has had a very successful year which l1as made a long life certain. The motion is accepted All those in favor signify by raising the right palm. W'ill the meeting please come to order.
