Senate The organization that lays down the laws at University High School is the student governing body, commonly known as the Senate. The representatives from each of the classes meet during the lunch hour to discuss the various student problems which come up during the year. This year s president, elected by the entire student body, was John Geist. He was heartily backed up by John Marvin, vice-president: Marjorie Boberg. secretary: and Fred Clapp, treasurer. With Mr. Virgil Walker, the adviser, keeping his careful eye on them, the worthy senators have many accomplishments to their credit this year. University High School is now in complete control of the Cafeteria in Shevlin Hall during the lunch hour, so the Senate rolled up its sleeves and planned recreational activities for the students. Dancing to the music of a phonograph was the most popular of those furnished. The efforts of the Senate to present a successful Homecoming Dance were well rewarded, for the annual event was much appreciated. The Senate ■’chambers were filled with an air of the North Woods and the clash of axes as the members pondered over the advice they gave as the advisory board to the Carnival Board in planning Paul Bunyan's Fun Frolic. A new law was passed and enforced by the Senate when it was announced that each club and organization must have an official charter given out with the approval of the Senate committee. The plan attempts to recognize only the clubs and organizations which are beneficial to the school and eliminates those which are of no value. This year for the first time University High was host to a convention of the Northwest Federation of Student Councils. The Senate entertained the delegates with a dance held at the Coffman Memorial Union. Page Ten
