A School Court of ten members, including the chief justice and a faculty advisor appointed by the principal of the school, is the judicial power of the Pocatello Student Body. Before last year all members of the court were sen- ,gg iors. Now according to a constitutional amendment four justices must be juniors with the privilege of serving the - succeeding year as seniors. All justices are appointive. The chief justice is elected by the students. At present the main function of the court is to decide points of law and constitutionality of laws and acts of student government. The court believes that some changes in the constitution is in order, that our by-laws should be edited and codified, and that o pamphlet on student government procedures should be published for use by 1 student government. These things the court hopes to X 'Uk f 1 X. r achieve through direct action and through recommenda- E 1 f f' tion to the legislative branch.

The House of Representatives is the largest branch of the organization. It also is the most democratic because through it every student in school may make known his views. The House is composed of one student from each homeroom. The representa- tives are elected by the members of his home room at the beginning of each semester. The Speaker of the House elected by the Student Body for each full year is the presiding officer of this group. 75f6k9l,+iW's-fe Q. ffgggg ' K gf C X .sfi , 'W' if ig . s 2 House of A A I than Bruce Porges, Speaker of the House Senior members of the House are, first row, left to right-Miss Oliver, advisor, Diane Fawson, Shana Coffin, Dorris Barrett, Anita Slavik, Karen Harris, Marlene Hawkins.
