Stuhrnt Muna? The Student House was organized this year immediately after the close of the football season. Mr. Bates was elec.ed as Speaker. This year an attempt was made to model after the National Congress, with a Senate for Juniors and Seniors and a House for Freshman and Sopho- mores. But on account of the small enrollment, this was abandoned. It is hoped that nexitl year will find this plan in operation. F Three parties were placed in the field this year: the Liberals with James Mack and his radical associates. the National party, with Chalmers Curtis as leader and the Constitutionals or Conservative party headed by Rowan Fasquelle. These parties introduced typical bills throughout the year. The Liberals opened up with the Irish question, followed it with the Consoli- dation of Schools for as one member argued, the Consolation of Schools J. The Nationals introduced bills favoringnational advance- ment, such as the Adoption of Airships for Defense, the Refusal of the United States to Enter into Foreign Alliances, and for the concluding meeting introduced Government Ownership of Public Utilities. The Constitutional party clung to a conservative platform and argued for the Open Shop in American Industry, for the Restriction of Foreign Immigration and for the Exclusion of the Japanese. These topics were all of current interest and of national impor- tance. Another feature of this session was the use of pocket libraries of clippings and pamphlets on the subjects, loaned by the University of Michigan. . It is the opinion of all that the 1921-22 Session of the House was the most interesting and most successful one that has been held in many years. Twenty-four of the original members finished the Session and earned their credits. With eighteen of these members returning next year P. H. S. expects to form a nucleus for the biggest, andbest session ever held in Petoskey High School. R. F., '22. PAGE FIFTY
