Laurel Veltman - CLO. Art Chairman - The link between Christmas and school spirit. The General Organization Council is the representative as- sembly 0f the student body of Newfleld. As such, the purpose of the organization is to provide a forum for student expression and to promote the general welfare of the school. The General Organization believes the welfare of the school lies in the indi- vidual and through its many activities, seeks to reach the stu- dent. The council sponsors pep rallies and Red and White Days to instill school spirit during major sports seasons. It provides away transportation and ticket concessions at the gate. The council seeks to impress upon the student the impor- tance of good citizenship and government. The school elections are completely controlled by the council. Through this event the student receives an insight into political machinery as regular campaigning, party platforms and debates progress. Among its many services are the morning announcements of school news over the PA. system, Parent visitation Night, dress-up day to encourage good grooming and the chartering of clubs. The latter is the most important power of the council by which it coordinates the workings of the various smaller Clubs in the school. This unity is derived through the assignment of charters, thereby making available G.0. judiciary and central treasury.
