STUDENTS PRACTISED DEMOCRACY EXECUTIVE BOARD OFFICERS SCHROEDER ...----.-............... Vice President OWEN ..--... - - -President Spring Semestcr MURRAY- - . ---- President Fall Semester FEISLEY . . . ............. Secretary STUDENT COURT lf you ever got a little slip saying, Report to Student Court, Room 5, it was a sure sign your case was being brought up. Anything from chewing gum in class to breaking a window was tried by this law-conscious eight sponsored by Miss Taylor. The members of the court, com- posed of one member of the lower classes and two from each of the Senior classes, settled dis- putes either by arbitration or by a stiff sentence. The court was a rather young organization, hav- ing been started in April of '42, Some days there were no trials, other times the jury and judges were overworked! The court tried cases Tuesday after school and the judges and other court mem- bers had a closed conference Monday in ac- tivities period. So beware, kids- crime does not pay! EXECUTIVE BOARD The meeting will now come to order. Will the secretary please read the minutes of the last meeting. With these words, Executive-Boarders went into another of their weekly huddles. Business ranged from formation of a new squad to drafting of workers for the next dance. Under Miss Taylor's guidance, however, all was efficiently, effectively cleared up. Aside from sponsoring various school functions, E. B. announced formation of the Achievement Committee and the Medical, Girls' Gym, and Home Room Bulletin Board Squads. The Rifle Club was elevated to the status of other Mt. Lebo A athletics. All 'n all, Executive-Boarders from 12A to lOB, had quite a snappy time of it but did a swell job of keeping our A. M. ticking smoothly. STUDENT COURT FIRST ROW fseatedlz Miss Taylor, Lichty. SECOND ROW: Strickler, Briant, Schroeder. THIRD ROW: Metly, Lewis. EXECUTIVE BOARD FRONT ROW: Steele, l.
