enior Parliamentary Activities During the first semester we read of the passing of bills and the trans- action of national affairs. We devoted our time to the study of cause and ef- fect through history. The time from April first we spent 011 the method of passing these laws in the technical sense. Our study in other words was co11- ducted to answer the question, How? To make our study practical, the class organized itself into a miniature Congress. The Senior Academics, became the Senate and t11e Senior Commercials became the House of Representatives. In the Senate, Glenn VVeiland was elected to the digniiied position of Vice-President. Caucus meetings chose Senator Robert Barnhart of South Dakota and Senator Samuel Strite of Indiana, the majority and minority tioor leaders of their parties. In the House of Representatives the Honorable George Rice and the Honorable Freeman Sinn were elected Iioor leadersg the Honorable Oliver Mor- ris was elected as Sergeant at Armsg the Honorable Charles Hays and the Hon- orable Alvin Barnes were elected doorkeepersg the Honorable John Miller was elected Clerk, the Honorable Ralph Cushen was chosen majority Speaker of the House illld the Honorable Philip Rauth was Cl1OSG1l minority Speaker of the House. The first days of our Congress were devoted to the introduction of bills, resolutions, and the absorption of Dariiamentary Law. The source of the latter was Mr. E. Russel Hicks, ex-member of the State Legislature of Mary- land. Because of his knowledge many puzzling questions were quickly and clearly disposed of. The proceeding of the Congress was crude at the start but shortly it was conducted in a dignified alld orderly manner. The benefits derived from the SBIIIOI' Congress have been many and va- ried. The questions of today were brought vividly before the minds of the Stu- dent Body. It has been a source of awakening the national conscience and in- stilling a desire in tI1e hearts of all to know what the government, our govern- ment, aye! indeed the best government in the world, is doing. It has developed the latent ability of the various members. Clear thinking and quick, concisive, crystal clear, bursts of oratory attest to the value of this phase of our work. The Miniature Congress has taught us what the National Congress is doing and also how and why it is so conducting our national business. It l1as shown us that Hamilton was wrong but that the average person is capable of conducting the nation's business. Millard A. Nelson, Clerk of Senate. Eighty-tlw'ce

l x 1 The Hoo-Wa1r- -Wat Broadway High SclIool in previous years has sponsored progressive movements and so far the record has not been broken. This year Broadway has taken the project of last year's Se1Iiors, that of publishing a paper, but this year the paper has bee11 run on a different basis. All the classes are repre- sented on tl1e Editorial Staff, thus creating an interest in every class. So far, everyone has responded with enthusiasm 'when asked to contribute to tl1e Hoo- VVair-N-VVat. Let us hope that the good work will progress onward and the Hoo-VVair-N-VVat will become a necessary iixture of the High School. It is the desire of everyone that after the new Co-Ed High School is built, the Hoo- Wfair-N-Wat will become a Co-Ed Paper. The Editorial Staff is as follows: Editor-in.-Chiicjf . . . p. . .ELIzA12:ETI1 1fOULETTE, '24 Associate Editor . . . . .lvifmcsixiirifr RCJIIIIER, '25 News .Editor . . . . . .LILLIAN SBIITH, '25 Sport Editor ....... . . .OLIVE SMITIT, '24 Short Story Editor ........

But we may proudly say that through our incomparable and hitherfore unexcelled orchestra there are few if any of this type at Surrey. In the midst of a Wil1'1ll afternoon, when the somnolence, the result of a well-timed dinner istaking eifect, Elllfl when the Inotorous minutes linger and take the proportions of hours, suddenly out of the dismal surroundings comes strains of music. A catchy and well timed gliss followed by a wild clarinet shriek and the synchronous syncapatin of the piano and drums throws off the feeling. There are very few who are not moved to some kind of actio1I. l TlIe orchestra officiated at all the High activities :g The basketball games, the English Programs, the debates and even so far as to play at the last Com- mencement of tl1e Hancock High School. . , 3 E The orchestra is composed of eight pieces which are all handled by ca- pable musicians.
