For all the change that went on this year in each school, the thing most revolutionized was student government. Because of the vast differ- ence in previous systems a completely new form of government was necessary to bring together the best elements of each. To draw up this new form a constitution com- mittee, consisting of Shelly Hackett, Hank Lamb, Kit Sumner, Bryan Bird and headed by Father Winder was established. This group met peri- odically for eight weeks. Their efforts produced what they felt was a sound plan of student gov- ernment. The administration and student body thought so, too, because it was immediately and unanimously ratified. Under the new system there are three divi- sions: the Senate, composed of four prefects, four faculty members, and the principal, is the most important body in the government; the student council, which is composed of class presidents, ten student representatives from the senior class and one extra junior; the Student Forum, the third body, responsible for the planning of all student affairs is made up of all activity chairmen. After ratification, the senior class voted to in- stall Shelly Hackett, Hank Lamb, Bryan Bird, and Kit Sumner as the four prefects and elected Becky Markley, Susan Schettler, AAischa Axiine, Wim Ray, Hobby Hogle, and Phil Patterson to fill the six other student representative vacancies. This new plan of student government was so well thought of by the Northwest Accrediting Associa- tion evaluation team that some members took copies of the constitution back to their schools.

Six members of the Nigerian delegation face the camera during the opening session of the Model UN. They are: Mischa Axiine, Hank Lamb, and Chuck Culp. In the second row, Judy Little, Hobby Hogle, and Kathy Waldo. One of the most impressive features of the Model UN is the presentation of the flags. Here, Doug Snedden enters the General Assembly with the flag of Nigeria. UNITED NATIONS The UN Club was very fortunate this year in having Mr. Lyle Redlinghuys as its advisor. His knowledge of the United Nations and his South African background were two assets which greatly helped the Club. The school represented three nations, Mali, Nigeria and South Africa. The country of South Africa was in the main spotlight, however, because of the many resolutions presented at the Model Unit- ed Nations wanting to expel that country from the General Assembly. The government class constituted the main body of the club along with interested juniors. A general view of the 1500 students who participated in the annual Model UN. 48
