STUDENT GOVERNMENT IN P. C. H. S. Student Government was this year introduced in the high school for the first time. It was somewhat of an experiment at first, but has proved to be quite a success. Each student in the high school is a member of the Student Association.” The Association is divided into the four Class Assemblies. The “Student Council,” possessing a combination of executive and legislative powers, consists of the president, Otis McQuiston; vice-president. Frances Wylie: secretary, Helen Newman; two representatives from each Class Assembly, namely: Senior, Vernette Larson, Raymond King: Junior. Dora Ireland, Marvin McHaley; Sophomore, Mildred Pierce, William Martin; Freshman, Alice Newman, Horace Shaw; and the advisor, Mr. Swinney. The Student Council should be considered by the students as an advisory body and not a police force. We have been working all year to create this spirit in the high school, and we believe that we have succeeded. The students should be complimented on their splendid co-operation with the members of the Council. —Helen Newman. Nine
