Its purpose is to promote better school spirit, en- courage participation in extra-CUrTiCUlaT activities and make rules and regulations that will aid the student and the school. Many of the school problems are discussed and remedied through the General Organization. The Constitution is being revised now that we have a bigger and better school. Amendments are being added or dis- carded. We hope to make it an ideal constitution for the classes following ours, and to strengthen and enlarge the entire organization. with cooperation from all of the students it will be a very strong and vital part of our school life. 5:-...
