Editorial Most of our students know that during the past year a new firm, which we may provisionally call the West High Company has been established in our midst. The stockholders in this organization are the eleven hundred students who attend West High. No partiality is shown in the distribution of the stock, each student holding the same amount. The stockholders of the West High Company make up the personnel of the Students’ Association. The Board of Managing Directors of the West High Company is known as the Executive Council. Not always has this ideal system which has been outlined above been in force here at West High. Due to the fact that our old consti- tution had outlived its usefulness, it was found necessary to entirely remodel the system which governs and controls us. A committee which was known as the Constitution Revision Committee, composed of student and faculty members started work early in the year, and the fruit of their labor is embodied in our new constitution. Under the new regime the control of all our activities is vested in the student body. Formerly at the beginning of school each fall, all the students who wished to be classed as members of the Students’ Association, were called upon to pay twenty-five cents. This was all that was ever done. The student presently forgot all about his connection with the Students’ Association, and it may be asserted that this body existed in name only. Now, on the contrary, the entrance fee has been done away with, and the Students’ Association is made a body possessing some well-defined and characteristic powers. The former association held no meetings, nor did it exercise any power. The new association holds frequent meetings and the school assembly is often turned over to the organization. The superiority of the new plan over the old one is readily seen. Where formerly we had a Students’ Association in name only, we now have a well- constructed and smoothly running organization. The responsibility of each student is greatly increased. The Presidency of the Students’ Association is unquestionably the highest honor that West High Students can confer upon one of their number and this office should always be considered in this light. We who are about to be graduated feel a little sorry that we shall not be privileged to be here under such ideal conditions but we feel that the students will show themselves capable of exercising prudently the power and responsi- bility which has been vested in them. The creation of the office of vice-principal seems to us worthy of mention here. Mr. O'Hem ably assists Mr. Bennett in the work connected with the managing of our school. The vice-principal’s particular field of endeavor is in the looking after of our younger students, in advising them relative to their choice of studies and in overseeing their general welfare. We consider Mr. O'Hern peculiarly well-fitted to carry out his new duties successfully. We congratulate him, and we also extend our congratulations to the first and second year people who have acquired a kind advisor. 24
