STUDENT COURT The Student Court is the judic- ial body of PHS. It sees that pun- ishment is given to violators of PHS laws. The court closely re- sembles an actual court of law in its method of determining whether a defendant is guilty or innocent. Prosecuting and defense attorneys are used in the trials. A jury often makes the final decision on the defendanfs guilt or innocence, and punishment is assigned to those found guilty. This year's Chief Iustice was Steve Horningg Associate Justice was Pete Ienkinsg clerk, Charlotte Boo, stenograph- ers, Barbara Schweigard and Char- lene Meleg lawyers, Tim Camrath, Tohn Simon, and Pete Birming- ham, Faculty Advisor is Mr. Cook. P. H. P. BEWARE OFFENDERS! The Pleasantville High Police are on the job. These sleuths patrol the halls, parking lot, and lunch lines. One of their major accomplish- ments was the successful campaign against littering in the gym. This year's officers were Cap- tain Bud Weber, Sergeant Tay Croves, and Lieutenant Howie Cershater. Working with the Stu- dent Covernment and the Student Court, P.H.P. helped protect the interests of P.H.S. students. P.H.P. members are always on duty at school plays, athletic contests, and other school activities. They de- serve a great deal of credit for the work they do for the good of the school. Mr. Beattie has every rea- son to be proud of his conscienti- ous charges. The Student Court punishes violators.
