THE STUDENT SENATE George Hudgins . President Evelyn Eason . Secretary Mr. Francis S. Chase . Sponsor Cast your vote for George Hudgins! Vote for Billy Spence!” These are the words which we heard at the beginning of the 1938-39 term. After a close count of votes, George Hudgins succeeded in being elected president of the Student Senate. This representative governing body of the school is made up of one student from each homeroom who represents the members of his class. The president of the Senate is elected by popular vote of the entire student body. The secretary is elected within the senate. General procedure in Senate meetings is strictly parliamentary. During this term many honor circles and triangles have been presented by the chairman of honor awards, Barbara Ballance. Students having high scholastic records as well as being outstanding in activities were presented circles. Those honoring the school by their interest and willingness to work on extra-curricular activities were presented triangles. Every year the Senate sponsors several important undertakings. This year its greatest problem has been the activity fund which was proposed by Mr. Chase. The Senate also sponsored Patrons’ night, held November 7, 1938. In Front: Eaton, Hudgins.

THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE Mary Thedieck. . Chairman George Hudgins . Ex-Officio Member Mr. Francis S. Chase .. Sponsor Early in October, George Hudgins, president of the Student Senate, organized the Ways and Means Committee with Evelyn Eason as secretary. A vote was passed in the Senate that the president of the student body should serve as chairman and ex- oHicio member of the Ways and Means Committee. In February, Mary Thedieck took over the chairmanship of the committee to relieve the president. Each member of the Ways and Means Committee was appointed chairman of some school activity. The committees and their chairmen arc as follows: Finances, Ella Mary Ashburn; Clubs, Mary Burchett; Assembly, Mary Beverly Holland; Social Affairs, Miriam Jester; Athletics, Bob Osborn; Building and Grounds, C. L. Pierce; Honor Awards, Barbara Ballancc; and Publications, Mary Thedieck. With several other stu¬ dents and a faculty sponsor, these committees made excellent progress throughout the term. The problems of the Ways and Means Committee are many. They must plan the Senate meetings, handle money problems and activities. Questions which are to be presented to the entire student body are brought up in the Senate in a business-like manner by the Ways and Means Committee. Chief among its duties this term was planning the organization of the Suffolk Association of Patrons, Pupils, and Teachers, which is first of its kind in the St3te.
