Then with some careful planning, Dick chose his cabinet. He appointed as Chief Justice Gene Cherryholmes. Bob Brown, was given the task of keeping the Shuffle Shop in con¬ trol; Dick Hawkins became the man who saw to it that the assemblies ran all right; Bill Clayton became Stage Commissioner; Commissioner of Buildings and Grounds Dwight Morrison saw to it that order was maintained; Fire Chief Duane Weitz checked on the safety factors; while Jerry Jesseph worked on inter¬ school relations such as exchange assemblies To boost publicity there was Priscilla Clem, and Pat Wiley was appointed Commissioner of Organization.

Besides maintaining and promoting the business of their certain offices, the cabinet worked as a body in sponsoring the Homecoming parade and dance, of which Bob Morrison and Rose La Rae Lott were elected King and Queen. They worked also on some additions and corrections to the constitution, visited 8th graders, and presented a talent assembly The legislative assembly, under the direction of Duane Lanohester, was, kept busy throughout the year by canvassing for Community Chest Drive, setting up budgets for the next year and passing bills. The Student Government was run very smoothly this year, showing that students can work together in harmony. Page 14

The 1949-1950 Legislative Assembly, despite a slow start did an excellent job. The annual Com¬ munity Chest canvass taken by Legislative Assembly members set an all time high Among the legisla¬ tion discussed were: the DeviPs Den, Yell squad funds assemblies, noon entertainment, and skiing. The officers would like to thank the students for electing such fine representatives and also thank the representatives for their splendid cooperation. Both first and second semester Student Court members served as seven man police forces. I he court policy was changed this year; instead of issuing demerits, most offenders were assigned to hall and cafeteria line duties. Demerits were issued only In cases involving smoking or contempt of court. The first semester Court had a new offense box made by the shop classes. This was painted blue and placed in the doorway of Room 216. A new low in demerits issued during the semester was set with only three being awarded. The court started the ball rolling on the idea of having an official pin worn only by Justices and Chief Justices of the Court, This is a tiny skull and crossbones pin for all Justices and the same pin with a gavel attachment for all Chief Justices The second semester Court met and tried cases as often as four times a week. It was found that the police who were put on duty were begin¬ ning to take their jobs more seriously this semester The hail and cafeteria line duty seemed to be work¬ ing out very well. In some cases students failed to carry out their sentences and were given two or three demerits plus the sentence over Hall duties and such were checked by court members. Interest in court seemed to grow as the year progressed. The student body was far better than usual in turning in of¬ fenders LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY—Second Semester Sixth Rotv: Dragon, Herman, Barnes, Anderson, Gardner, Struthers. Fifth Row: Cummings, D.
