You're the Cause of It All The student-governing body of University High School is the Senate. Senators and alternates are representatives from each class who meet once a week to discuss the activities and problems of each class and of the school as a whole. In the spring after a busy week of campaigning which includes speeches, clever posters and gay assemblies, the entire student body elects representatives to the Senate. Every year the Senate appoints a committee to take charge of all assemblies. This year the crowded conditions on the campus necessitated the use of a smaller auditorium, so two assembly committees were appointed. The junior high committee was headed by Lois Simonson and senior high commit- tee was headed by Sue Hirsch and Steve Wolff. This year the Senate organized a Senate Poster Committee. Members of the committee were Joyce Tank-enoff. chairman, Pony Schmalhorst. and Dale Johnson. All the posters that were put up in the building had to be on thick poster board and had to be approved by the committee. The Senate also carried on a Keep Shevlin Clean' campaign last year. It was publicized by the Senate and posters were put up in Shevlin to remind everyone to pick up after eating. Keeping Shevlin clean made lunch hours more enjoyable for everyone. In addition to its more serious functions, the Senate sponsored and guided to completion two important entertainment events. One was the gala Homecoming Dance. The other was the most successful Carnival ever held at U. High. 24
