ADMINISTRATION STUDENT COUNCIL Democracy There is democracy in high school. The Student Council makes it work, Irlere the students act and control. Though at times somewhat unobtru- sive, they are never inoperative. Here is the U. S. Congress in miniature: lor ati executive and a legislative group shape the framework of the Student Council. Law Makers The presidents of all school or- ganizations incorporate to make up the Legislative Branch. Wlien the Iegislators gather for weekly meetings, they suggest, discuss, and vote on laws and amendments. Witli a D5 vote, a bill may be referred to the Execu- tive Department. Executives The Executive Department is com- posed of 4 Seniors, 2 juniors, I Soph- omore, l lfreshman and all activities managers. This group votes upon hills that have been passed by the Legislative body. A majority vote ol this branch is necessary to refer a hill to the Principal for acceptance or veto. The Executive Department meets every week following the week ol' the Legislative meeting. J. Ilfzrrwtt, T. If1lIll'HIIII1l.'ll, R. .-lnililislxe, E. Ilrilwy, IV. Haines, J. IK,t'1'IlllII, J.

Their taxes are lic each week for 22 weeks fwith no exemp- tionsi. The student's return on his investment includes such things as as- sembly programs and the yearbook. At each meeting, the Spencer broth- ers engage in clever reparlee with Chuck lighting a losing battle because he's only a Freshman. Ann Mohr de- velops the arguments and Gene Daley never fails to present the Loyal Op- position. The CIouncil's professional lobbyists are in the Senior Class. They never fail to crash in with a demand. The juniors, in turn, are ready with their Pork Barrel. Theirs is an all-out effort to bring home the bacon. There is no stuffing the ballot box though, at times, Ann Mohr and jack Wfeagraff appear to do it quite openly. As representatives of so many organ- izations, they automatically are en- titled to more than one vote. There is no bureaucracy here and probably a minimum of red tape. The Student Council is democracy Hrm and strong. l.l'Il T To R1GIlT: .I. Molfr, J. I it.:gfw'ulfl, N. II'iflriy1, J. Illerigwrff, J. Hrzi nlir11't, J. Sutcliffe, P. Kulunulillrrz, C. Sjzem-cr I0

Politicians and Policemen Work, so they work? Of course, they do. Wliy' every 7th period Con- nie works so hard gossiping with va- rious sightseers that she has little time for anything else. Then it a student peers through a nearhy win- dow, she has the excuse of short sightedness. On oth period hall duty, Edmund Kaiser may rightly he called an Assistant Chief. He studies so hard that he hardly hears the liresh- men traveling hy. This year the Student Police have such a great memhership that they're heginning to tell each other which way to go. Each Senior with two years of service on the force received a shield and was proclaimed a cap- tain. Free Speech At meetings held every other week, opinions are always well-aired, There are often a few students who like to give their opinion. Peggy Velie rates outstanding.
