Frederick Reid The Senate of 15326 was unusually active in raising the standard of Spring- field High School. Socially, financially and morally the Senate was a great success. Two dances were given and enjoyed by all Who attended. But the greatest of its achievements was a moral campaign launched during the latter part of the second semester. The object of this campaign was to raise the general morale of the school to a high standard. The Senate adjourned at the end of the year hoping that the Senate of next year will be able to develop a better School Spirit. +n- --'- ---!- - -:-!- -- ------ ---H+ 1 9 2 6 +----'- - - - - - - - - - -- Sixteen

- ewsmooan emooewoa The Capiroline eweemeeremewe Student Government RDERLINESS and contentment prevails on our ship. When we look around we find everything in its right place. Even the smallest article is taken care of and every passenger is orderly and well satisfied. At first glance we see only the result-the smoothness and precision with which everything takes place but a closer observation discloses to us the governing organization of our ship. This organiz- ation is Student Government. Student Government is a comparatively recent experiment. lt has been tried in several schools and in every one in which it has been introduced it has been well received. It is much like the government of the United States in that its control is divided between two houses-Representatives and Senators. A separate House of Representatives, chosen by each class, is composed of a boy and girl from every session room elected by popular vote. lt is the duty of the Representatives to pro- mote the interest of their respective classes in scholarship and athletics and to transact any business undertaken by the class as a whole. The highest body of the student organization is the Senate, composed of two representatives from each class, a boy and a girl. The boy senators are elected by the House of Representa- tives while all the girl senators are appointed by the faculty advisors. The senate possesses no real power but merely acts as an advisory body expressing the opinions of the school. These are the administrators of our student body-the Senators and Representatives who are constantly co-operating and striving together for the betterment of school life and school interests. + 1 9 2 6 +---- ------ -- ----- -------+ Fifteen
