W- PARKER STUDENT GCVERNMENT ' Student government was first in- troduced in Parker in 1936 by mem- bers of the social science classes who wished to stimulate interest and cooperation in school activities. The Parker Student Government, the most important student organization in the school, has charge of all for- ums, clubs and social activities. It has proved to be the school's most effective instrument for character building. It gives the entire student body practice and training in the du- ties of citizenship. ' The officers in the fall semester were Norman Graff and Mary Reay, president and vice-president respec- tively. Under the supervision of Mary Reay, students conducted Good Will Tours to Calumet and Hirsch. ' In the fall administration the fol- lowing students held office: Robert Lavidge, Secretary of Scholastics: Herbert Leavitt, Secretary of Health, Safety, and Sanitation: Sidney Gold, Secretary of Athletics: Richard Hilt- man, Secretary of Stage and Sound: and Phyllis Chiappetti, Secretary of Clubs. Phyllis was successful in forming two new clubs, the Teenya Postonians and the Correct Thing. Helen Harsh became Secretary of Social Affairs, and Katherine Ahern headed the Publicity department. Winifred Wember served as Secre- tary to the Cabinet. Offices in the General Assembly were held by Iames Casello, Speaker of the House: Ruth Hooker, Vice-Speaker: Betty Coulter, Secretary of the General Assembly: and Donald Behrens, Par- liamentarian. ' In the spring semester Raymond Wallace and Phyllis Chiappetti were elected president and vice-president, respectively. Phyllis Chiappetti, who was also Secretary of Civic Affairs, promoted Good Will Tours to many other Chicago high schools. Eleanor 15 Hoffman became Secretary of Scho- lastics, and Donald Behrens took over the position of Secretary of Health, Safety, and Sanitation. School equipment was placed in the hands of Bill Harris, Secretary of Stage and Sound. Arranging club schedules was under the direction of I eanette Plotkin. Richard Briggs, sec- retary of Athletics, organized the intra-mural sports tournaments. ' Ruth Hooker, Secretary of Publi- city, successfully carried on the drive to inform the public of the activities of the school. Through a drawing and essay contest, Peter and Polly Parker, the ideal Parkerites, were created during this semester. Social activities were under the direction of Gene Hoover, Secretary of Social Af- fairs on the cabinet. Eleanor Huff acted as Secretary to the Cabinet. ' At a session of the Assembly, Ar- mand Lilien was chosen Speaker of the House and Paul Iernberg, Vice- Speaker. Mary Grey Huft served as Secretary to the Assembly: Ray Bow- ers acted as the parliamentarian, and Norma Keir as clerk. . ' As a culmination of their numer- ous projects, the P.S.G. sponsored a Student Government Day on May 16, when students took over the pro- grams of the entire faculty and taught all classes. Raymond Wal- lace, president of the P.S.G., took the place of our principal, Miss Quinn. Blue ribbon awards, bearing the school seal, were presented to Ray- mond Knighton, Dora McAllister, and Muriel Nielsen, the three student teachers who received the highest ratings on the basis of skill in plan- ning recitation work and the degree of cooperation elicited from their classes. ' Miss Hazel Rudoy and Mr. Earl Leeney rendered invaluable service as sponsors of the P.S.G. :ss if ..-:mfs
