Being entirely a representative student body, subject only to the supervising authority of Mr. Eeers, it is possible for all the students to express their opinions and to unite in the interest of self-government in non-academic work. Its officers, together with the president and representatives from each room, are vested with the law-making power for V atkins Glen High School. It can, after weighing school sentiment, make or alter rules. Through the representatives chosen by each room, the results of each meeting are reported back by them to those rooms. Thus students are guided into a better understanding of elementary rules and the necessity of their existence. It employs a penalizing system but has no financial aims. Its object is to promote a democratic feeling among the students; to unite them and to develop a friendly and cooperative spirit. It is the most powerful organization of the school.

These committees are separate units, each working in conjunction with the others to encourage participation in student activities. The most important of these committees include the Visual Education Committee, the Attendance Committee, and the Monitor's and Ushers Committee. The Visual Education Committee is mainly concerned in securing and showing various films in which any class or school organization may be interested. The Attendance Committee, under Mr. Munson, checks and records the daily attendance, and also keeps a class record of every high school student. This committee Is deserving of much praise for Its work requires a great deal of time and its tasks are never ending. In order to reduce generel disorder and confusion throughout the school building, the monitors and ushers committees are in permanent operation. Through the gradual interest and Improvement in these various committees, we hope to obtain a closer contact between school and students and to wake every person feel that he Is doing his part in promoting greater school spirit.
