Sure And Steady Feet For Tomorrow's Paths MANY A STUDENT LEADEB at Phoenix Union will Walk along tomorroW's paths with sure and steady feet. F or he will have learned how to meet the problems of to- morrow by taking part in similar problems today. Participation in student government is not restricted to a popular few. Every stu- dent enjoys the opportunity to run for of- fice, vote, and have an audible voice in class, club, and student body activities. Representative of this democratic pro- gram is the Board of Control set up. Every class sends delegates to serve on the board, and other officials, such as the student body officers, must be voted into office by ma- jority ballot. That our Merit System works can be generally agreedg but the system would fail quickly and utterly were it not for the thought and consideration the board mem- bers give each case as it comes up. No student who has appeared before the board has been known to complain of un- fair treatment. Cn the lighter side are the social duties of our leaders. Dances, games, class plays, special assemblies and the like give these people plenty of opportunity to demon- strate executive abilities. E - Boom, Boys' Federation Prexy and Lindstrom, Girls' Federa- tion head, take time out . . . to discuss the Weather. . ,,----q ASSISTANT SECBETARIES to the Board of Control shown with Mr. Butler are Farris, Peabody, Murphy, Davis, Goldie, Evans, Ellis, and Furst.

At Your Service - With A Smile As in any democratic organization, the work of our Boys' Federation and of the Girls' League depends upon the initiative and cooperative spirit of the people in the organization. lt was only natural, then, that these two groups should establish a record for service during the past year. Headed by Herb Boom, the Boys' Fed- eration has added laurels to its record. The l942-43 Follies, War drives, and the purchase of the beautiful l5 by 20-ioot Service Flag are examples. As with the Federation, the Follies was a major project of the Girls' League this year. Both productions stressed the patri- otic theme, and the money raised helped provide necessities for less fortunate stu- dents here. Dean Ethel Rosenberry, sponsor of the Central Council, which heads the League, suffered a severe accident which kept her from school for the last several months. into the breach stepped Mrs. jean Hansen, home counselor, who helped the girls carry on with such projects as Every Girl's Dinner, League dances, and the district convention. The fact that all these important events went ahead with a high degree of success attests to Mrs. Hansen's efficiency, the will- ingness of the Council members and to the general spirit of good will that has always marked the Girls' League.
