GENERAL OR GANIZA T I ON This year was a big one for the General Organization. It marked a turning point in the history of student government in Great Neck. The great revision of the G. O. to which 1957-58 was witness was brought on in part by a motion in the Assembly which, although at first was considered as a joke, was certainly the most significant in a long time and an unprecedented one in the fullest sense of the word: a motion that the G. O. be abolished. Although the motion was defeated, its influence, along with various ideas of President jim Gould and his administration, brought on the sweeping changes in the G. O.'s structure. Of course, a great many other actions were taken by the G. O. There were three fine dances held-Hajji Baba, Luau Cscholarshipj, and Sea Mist. The Scholarship Dance collected half again as much as last yearls, to the amount of almost 3600. This fund was given to one of the graduating seniors. This was the first year in which the G .O, participated in the P. T. A. jim Gould and Judy Stein were able to attend many of the Association's meetings, which proved a fine and useful facet of the G. O.'s community activity, This year was also the first year of Great Neck's participation in the American Field Service program. Under the sponsorship of Neil Flax, May Boehnke, a German girl from Kiel, attended school here, spoke to groups of students, and partici- pated in a panel made up of AFS students from the New York area. The AFS program seems to have become an institution already, and next year, it appears, both schools will participate in it. The Hoor of the G. O. Assembly was the scene of more than controversies involving Abolitionists. Again, the seemingly inevitable motion concerning semi-annual elections of G. O. representatives and alternates was brought up twice in the course of the year. Along the same lines was the issue of the impeachment of a representative whom the class felt no longer represented it. Both these purge measures were downed, There was also a great deal of discussion concerning the committee participation policy of the Admin- istration. An extended program of membership was devised to meet this. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the Student Court handed down a decision this year, ruling on the matter of how a representative shall vote. These were the significant results of the work of this year's ofhcers: President jim Gould, Vice President Judy Stein, Secretary Jane Halperin, and Treasurer Bob Richman, as well as the G. O. membership and its representatives. There are awesome tasks that face next year's North and South high schools in the initiating of the new General Organizations. Good luck! 20
