Accomplishment of 1947-48 Student Government Due to the addition of the eighth grade, the con¬ stitution of the Student Government had to be amended before the officers for the year could be elected. An amendment was adapted to provide that the President should be elected from the high¬ est class and the vice-president from the second highest class. Joe Per kins, Maxine Watts, and Boyd Mitchell, were candidates for president, and Thomas Branch, Marguerite Swartz, and Charles Gregory were the candidates for vice-president. Campaign posters and speeches flooded NBHS for the week preced¬ ing election. When the fateful day came, the stu¬ dents carried on a regular election with voting booth, ballots, and judges. The polls were kept open all day. Joe Perkins and Thomas Branch were the lucky winners. The installation ceremony was held in the audi¬ torium and followed a plan given in the state S.C.A. handbook. Mrs. Hodges acted as the in¬ stallation officer and read the obligation, which the participants repeated after her. The President was given a white candle representing pure and shining leadership, the Vice-President was given a red candle representing joy and strength; the Secretary was given a yellow candle, the Golden Torch of Service; the Reporter was given a violet candle, representing wisdom and truth, and the representa¬ tives were given the blue candles representing Wis¬ dom and Justice. Several committees were appointed by the newly elected president. This resulted in establishing monitors on the front walk and on the road in the afternoon, also in the halls a the end of each period. The Student Government tried a new plan for get¬ ting the classes to keep their homerooms clean, and it worked! The committee made out a chart of ten items to be checked, each item counting ten points. Of course, no room had a perfect score of 100 points, but some real progress was made. A satisfactory new dismissal plan was also put into effect. After the basketball season, the council spon¬ sored a play, “My Wife’s Family,” and a basketball game between the boys and girls. This game was followed by a cake-walk. The proceeds were given to the school fund. The 1947-48 Student Gouncil became a banner organization by becoming affiliated with the State S.C.A. Joe Perkins and Thomas Branch were chos¬ en as delegates to the State Convention at Fred¬ ericksburg. They returned with many new ideas for a better Student Government. At the beginning of the year, the council found themselves with two constitutions, so they had to combine them into one. Joe Perkins, Maxine Watts, Marguerite Swartz, Helen Johnson, and Barbara Jean Cash rewrote the constitution. The council members have been very fortunate this year in having Mrs. Hodges and Mr. Childress as faculty advisors. They have shown in a real way their interest in the students. Under the lead¬ ership of the faculty advisors, and with the coop¬ eration of each representative and the Student Body, the Student Government of Natural Bridge High School has had a very successful year. 9
