ARlSTA Arista was first organized in our school in 1925 by Miss Corinne Jewel. Since then Mr. Blumstein, Miss Hansberry and, at present, Miss Taleisnilc have been Arista's advisors. Arista has grown with the school and become an integral part of it. Since the stoppage of extra-curricular activities, we have discontinued the system ol' having Arista applicants interviewed by the Arista Assembly. As a result. the averages lor eligibility have been raised to 95 in 5th term and 00 thereafter. ln addition to scholastic standing, Arista members must render service to the school. This term our Boy Leader is Nlarty Brownstein: our Girl Leader is Sue Chasin and our Secretary is Judith Shimanslcy. ln the present graduating class there are about 100 Arista members. THE S.G.O. The Student Government Organization of Nladison is a fine example of demo- cratic government. Like the United States government, the S.G.O. is divided into three bodies. These are the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, who are elected each term by the student body. The President may choose a cabinet of fifteen commissioners, to aid him during his administration. One of his most important jobs is to serve as Chainnan of the House of Representatives. The Vice President heads the Senate, which is responsible for planning after- school activities. The Senate and the House ol Representatives comprise the Legislative branch ol the S.G.O. The members of the House and Senate are elected by each class and represent the students at meetings. The Secretary lceeps minutes at House and other meetings of the S.G.O. The Weekly Calendar, House agenda and all S.G.O. correspondence are the Secretary's responsibility. The Treasurer worlcs with the S.G.O. Faculty Treasurer and serves as authority on the budget and any financial problems that may arise. The Judicial branch ol our govemment consists of Lt. Governors and Lt. Justices who are elected by each term of students. They malce up the Board of Governors and Student Court. Representatives of the S.G.O. attend Borough meetings ol' the Student Organiza- tion ol Brooklyn and report baclc to the students. This term the students elected to the executive offices are: Billy Gurton, Presi- dent: Marty Rosenthal, Vice President: Lea lVliller, Secretary: and Bob Erichson, Treasurer. THE HIGHWAY From green lrosh to sophisticated senior. the Madison Highway has always afforded you a complete account of doings and nundoingsn around Madison. lt has told the entire story of the events that shaped your high school career. Varsity shows. Sings, sports. S.G.O. functions, and even classroom ubonersn are included. Many who are in the class of '52 have worlced on its pages since they avoided paying for their lirst subscription four years ago. Carol Davis, Joy Cohen, and Bob Smith were among the illusioned enthusiasts who wrote the P.M. Journal. They never realized that no one ever reads it. This term, Bob Hasellcorn, editor emeritus. and lxlal Newman, ex-news editor. leaned baclc in their swivel chairs and watched their successors slave. Joel Droplcin.
