The President and His Council O A Olson Emanuel Troutman, R. B. Farquhar, Chief Justice N, W. Ladegard, G. F. Liebendorfer, A. E. Wright, K. S. Agnew. The Student Government of Sidney High School is based upon the form used by our Federal Government. Students and faculty par- ticipate in this organization. The highest branch of the government is the Supreme Court. This body is composed of the school board and the superintendent. The school board is chosen by the Sidney electorate, and the superintendent in turn is selected by the school board. These men function in much the same way as our Federal Supreme Court. They make final decisions in regard to the various school activities and settle any problems which may be brought to their attention. Our Principal, Mr. Weymouth, is the President of the United States of Sidney High School. Each of the four classes comprises one State. From the citizenry of these States, President Weymouth chooses his Cabinet. The various Cabinet departments are: State, Interior, War, Agriculture, and Labor. The school secretary, Miss Mabel Simms, serves as Secretary of the Treasury. The Senate of Sidney High School is composed of faculty mem- bers who run for this office in the same manner as our Federal Senators run for office. Joanne Ackerman, Dennis Larson, Barbara Radcliffe, Mr. Weymouth Mable Simms, Wanda Hansen, Frances Buck. tPage Six? Supreme Court

Senate Mr. Shuman, Miss Shires, Mr. Burnham, Miss Robinson, Miss Nevin There are two major political parties in our Student Govern- ment set-up. They are the Progressives and the Independents. These parties in each State nominate their candidates by petition and hold direct primaries. Then a general ballot is prepared and a general elec- tion is held. After the election all successful candidates are given the Oath of Office. Each State is divided into four Districts. Each District elects a member to represent it in the House of Representatives. This group is composed entirely of students. The individual States have a unicameral system much like that of the State of Nebraska. Two members from each District are elected to the State Senate. This group formulates the policies for each in- dividual State. Every student and faculty member is entitled to run for office and to participate in the management of the school government. Every- one becomes familiar with the workings of our National Government, thereby having a fuller knowledge and understanding of governmental matters in the life of the community.
