Do You Remember the Time that- President Charles Christy has had his worries as head of the 1938-1939 student body at Phoenix Union High School. But there have been moments, too, of pride in his 5000 fellow students. Take their enthusiastic response at football games, for ex- ample. Even with the team losing one, two, three games in a row, our pep rallies grew peppier, our cheers at the next game were all the louder. And then came the Mesa classic! We were hoarse days after that triumph. Bemember, too, the downtown parades, Fiesta del Sol and the Bodeog re- member the after-game dances, the semi-iormals, the Eraunfelder Swiss Singers and the other swell assemblies? Altogether, it has been a year full ot breath-taking activities. Picnics, club dinners, the follies, class plays, radio broadcasts, conventions, contests in public speaking and writing, elections, the Masque, - well, that's just a few of them! Equally busy and interested with Charley in all our student activities were these officers: Mae Virginia lamieson, student body vice-president, Spencer Dean, boys' secretary, Mary Ann Berg, girls' secretary, Constance Xalis, president of the Girls' League, and Lorel Stapley, Boys' Federation president.

For Them, a Taste of Good Government Representation is the citizen's first prerogative, and on our Board of Control every student has a voice through his appointed messenger. Board members consist of elected representatives from the four classes, the Girls' League, Boys' Federation, and student body officers. Before the Board come violators of our merit system. Cutting of classes, disorderly conduct, or other infringements of rules keeps this governing group busy each day. Be- ware those pink slips-and the green! Other schools admire the success of our student administration plan and are putting it into effect. The secret, of course, lies in the Board's determination to give everybody the same square deal. No student who, because of repeated violations has been called before the Board for a showdown , has honestly complained that the rules by which they gov- ern are unfair or discriminatory. lf anything, the offender secretly feels that the Board is over-generous! Membership on the Board of Control is our school's best apprenticeship to leader- ship in government. Problems here are similar to those any city magistrate or council- man might encounter. After all, is not the way to better citizenship to be realized only by seeking a better understanding of each other's problems? instead of the daily seventh period session, increased enrollment and the success- ful operation of the Board this year necessitated the addition of a sixth period meeting. Mr. L. N. Butler is faculty adviser.
