THE SENATE WAS SENSITIVE TO SCHOOL PROBLEMS. Senate judged the Christmas Dance. The Senate meets once a month. What's the Senate. Perhaps no arm of student government was more unfamiliar to the stu- dents than the Senate made up of elected and appointed Senators. They were the more powerful of the two representative bodies. Senate meetings were spent on discussing problems and concerns such as hair standards, school spirit at activities and new programs. The Senate President. Spence Shumway. was one of the most energetic student leaders. I was impressed with the concern of the Justice Department. Oh. they are about like the rest of the student government. The Justice Department was charged with interpreting the constitution and supervising student elections. For the first time in recent years the Justice Department, headed by Corbin Bennion. held a hearing. The hearing was conducted in an orderly manner and proved to many critical students that the machinery of Student Government could function when necessary. JUSTICES Quenton Chivers. Jack Oalene.

But Rex. all you have to do is say a prayer BOYS LEAGUE SPONSORED A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES. Van participates in lots of activities. To be a good leader you have to be involved.' League meetings are a good time to go for coffee. Boys' League was the largest organization in school, they sponsored everything from Sweetheart Dance. Western Week to whitewashing the U and most of the whitewash crew. Mr. Christiansen and Mr. Limb were the advisors helping Van Hadlock. President; Rex Jor- gensen. Vice President; and Rod Hacking. Secretary with these responsibilities. Boys League supports our school, but I wish the boys had more school spirit Above: Western Week was very au- thentic this year Lett: It takes a lot of work to be on the white wash crew Vo BOYS LEAGUE 13

THE HOMEROOM REPRESENTATIVES IS UINTAH S LARGEST GOVERNING GROUP. ‘ Our Home Room Representatives really let us know what's going on. I don't think we even send anyone to the meeting. ‘ I think Scott really cares but they don't have much authority.” The largest branch of Student Government was the House of Representatives headed by its president. Scott Chew. Members were from each home room, and were responsible for communication from the stu- dentbody to the administration and vice versa. The Student Government and particularly the House of Representatives were charged with apathy by the students. REPRESENTATIVES— First row: Matt Lohoff. Scott Chew. Ron Dalene.
