B Experience VISITING SCHOOL men on PUHS campus invariably express interest in our well developed student government and always are impressed with its effectiveness and democratic pro- cedure. Student government, as practiced by the Phoenix Union High School student body, did not just grow like Topsy, but is the proiluct of two decades, tested and refined by experience. KNOWLEDGE that student government really functions here can easily be confirmed by a glimpse of the Board of Control at work. lt is inspirational to see democratic processes in the complete control of students dealing with discipline problems in the finest American man- ner: to hear student leaders talking straight from the shoulder to fellow students: to see sympathy and understanding expressed when leaders sense its need. Great credit for the success of student government activities is due to the genuine interest in student welfare by Mr. Douglas Cary, faculty sponsor. ,
