StuAesit ManaCfe il 'httdeA, the fli(j Vop - The student managing body of the big show at University High is known to the cast as the Senate. This group lays down the rules by which the performers abide. The Senate with its Ringmaster. Mr. George McCutcheon, meets each Thursday during the activity period. According to the constitution of the Managers, representatives and alternates are elected by the members of each class in May to serve for the following performance. Each of the Junior High classes is allowed one senator and one alternate. The sophomores are represented by two representatives with an alternate for each. The junior and senior classes, as the oldest and largest in the school, each have three representatives and three alternates. The officers are nominated by the new Senate each spring. The candidates give their campaign speeches during an all-school assembly program, amongst the dinosaurs and other prehistoric monsters of the Natural History Museum. Following these speeches elections are held in which the entire student body chooses the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of the Senate for the next year. The officers of this year's Senate were Ed Briggs, president; Bill McGee, vice-president; Mary Emslie. secretary; and John Buchta, treasurer. This year the Senate was again active in the Northwest Federation of Student Councils. They sent two representatives. Ed Clapp and Mary Goepfert, and Mr. McCutcheon, their adviser, to the Federation meeting which was held at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis during the latter part of April. One of this year's major events was the Senate-sponsored Homecoming dance. Following the tradition of the Senate, vice-president Bill McGee was chairman of the Homecoming Committee. The second successful showing of the U. Highlites was given this year under the guiding hands of the Senators. To help the Juniors finance the annual Junior-Senior Prom, the Senate gave them the High-lite ticket-sale concession which carried with it seventy-five per cent of the net proceeds. By a new rule passed in the Senate this year, club charters were issued in May to expire next year. The purpose of these charters is to protect the audience from operators of unlicensed side-shows and exhibits. SENATE—4th ROW: Mclicr, Perks. G. Petraborg, C. Brown, Clapp. Noreen. 3rd ROW: Endrcss, McElrojr, J. Nelson, Lcvmsohn, Randolph, Harris. 2nd ROW: I. Bobc-g. McMcckm, Picper, Jean Cranston, Bouthilct, Goepfert. 1st ROW: Sporlcy, Briggs.

0 . G. Letter And non at hit detk. 7o the Se+tiosti. oj 1944 A few short days after this 1944 Bisbila becomes your own. you. Class of 1944. will be U. High alumni. Think for a moment of the four or six years spent in U. High's halls and library, in classrooms with U. High teachers. Do the events seem no longer to be part of your life — but memories? There were lunches in Shev-lin (or Dayton's), a coke at the Varsity, a football championship, the book you read for Miss Handlan, that session in the office with the administration. These things are not memories. They were your life and your education. In Harvard's or Vassar's halls, in a P-40 cockpit, or on a destroyer s deck you will solve that equation, pull out of that dive, or launch that torpedo better for the years at U. High. It is in this faith, that you will do a better job for your years with us, that your teachers have worked, and in which I shall soon hand you your diplomas. So remember us with affection. We have done our best for you, and now we wish that the best may continue to be yours. G. LESTER ANDERSON 9+tjjCSimcitia+t Se uUee.
