'F Student Body Association H141 Student Body Association of the High School includes every stu- dent enrolled who has paid his fee of thirty-five cents for each semest- er. This entitles him to all the privileges of' the organization. The general election of the Student Body officers is held in Sep- tember each yea1'. The Student Body is organized as political divisions or parties, each has its own platform and candidates. This campaign election is carried on similar to the national election. The three parties that entered the campaign were the Bold-She-Voter, Anti-Labor and the Aristocratic. The Anti-Labor party was victorious in the election of 1923. The officers elected this year were: Pearl Miller, President: Raymond May, Vice l'resident: Alred Tiffany, Secretary and Treasurer. This organization was established four years ago and practically every student in the school enrolled. The Student Body fees are used to further the various school activities and this together with the money received from plays and entertainments have made possible the purchase of our piano and some laboratory equipment. This year however, the greater part of this fund has been used for the publica- tion of the year book, the first one in our history. The Student Body Association has been an advantage in other ways. Probably the most important has been the creation of an enthusiastic school spirit-a thing hard to define which is iudispensible in the life of a school. It has also enabled every student to take an active part in the government. of the school. By encouraging the American principal of self government, it gives the student invaluable training and helps prepare every student for more etfcient citizenship. -Pearl Miller.
