Smoothness of operation and the continuity of an established po.licy goes far towards keeping that system as simple and effective as it is. At the very top of the system is the Board of Education.

WWNX WW I One of the cardinal aims of education is to train the growing boy and girl so that they will grow to be good and useful citizens of their country. Possibly the greatest agency in training and developing high school youth along these lines is student government, where the students are given opportunities to make and enforce their own laws, just as it they were citizens taking part in actual govern- ment. School authorities, reasoning along the lines that a good citizen in school will continue to be a good citizen after he is graduated, and that a bad citizen in school may be corrected before he is turned loose on society, have en- couraged student government to such an ex- tent that it has become a necessary and integral part of every major high school. Pictured above is the judicial branch of Washington High School's student government, in the person of Judge George Karas. 0 I l 11
