And Justice For All The Honor Court is often perceived as a secretive and ominous organization. It is seldom ever spoken of, and on those rare occasions when it is discussed, the con- versation is hushed. According to Mrs. Donna Crane, who is the advisor of the Honor Court, this atti- tude toward the court is inappropriate. She claims the Honor Court simply serves as the protector of the student's rights and acts as an impartial body in deciding the cases brought before it. The court is composed of nine elected students, two freshmen, two sopho- mores, two juniors, and three seniors. The senior receiving the most votes acts as chairman. The court is activated when a student has violated the Honor Code and is then charged by a teacher of another student. Mrs. Crane commented, that “the charge is not necessarily a convic- tion.”’ If the verdict is not guilty, the case is dismissed and forgotten. If the person is found guilty, Mrs. Crane issues demerits and a letter of notification is sent home. A decision of guilty must be unanimous, and a split vote is considered a ‘‘not guilty” verdict. A student found guilty may then accept the decision or appeal it. If the student appeals, the Faculty Board of Review, composed of Mrs. Crane and two of the student’s teachers, look over the notes taken during the testimony and can de- cide to uphold the Honor Courts’ decision or request the Honor Court to review the Case again. As one can see, the members of the Honor Court have a difficult job. They have a responsibility to protect the inno- cent and convict those who are guilty. They are constantly called upon to ignore their personal feelings toward a fellow student. However, the gravity of their re- sponsibility requires impartiality, and the entire student body at Monacan deserves no less. 200 Honor Court FCA NHS Pensiveness.
