Its activities have helped to fulfill its purpose, which is to promote school activities and functions and to allow all students, by working together, to take an actual part in the governing of their school. We have a legislative body called the House of Burgesses in which each homeroom is represented. This House meets once a week in the cafeteria and discusses student prob- lems, and proposes school projects. The presi- dent of the Student Government presides over these meetings with aid from the other three Student Government officers, the Parliamen- tarian, and the Executive Council, who serve as ex-officio members. The House of Burgesses is the student for- um of the Student Government and is the voice of the student body. By means of this House, voice of the students is heard and plans are made for student activities. The three Executive Secretaries, Kitty Downs, Chairman of Publicity, Carol Wood, Corre- sponding Secretary, and Linda Woods, Clerical Secretary. Q, i .
