DEMOCRACY AT SOUTHWEST HIGH By ToM CRESSWELL Much has been done at Southwest High School in the three years of its existence but not a great deal has been said of the democratic spirit permeating these accomplishments.

Council representatives cooperate with student editors of school publications by super- vising sales and distribution matters in their advisory groups.
