I it l I i V ll l JUDICIAL 'ki' Our Supreme Court BOARD OF EDUCATION--The very foundation of a successful democracy is a Wise judicial body. ln our government at Chrisman the Board of Education serves as the Supreme Court. To this group of men and Women are brought all the difficulties which arise in school legis- lation. Each school activity must be consented to by them before it becomes constitutional The vast responsibility carried by this group can only be realized by considering the number of students in each of the twelve schools of Independence. The inf l tellectual growth of each of these students is directly in- fluenced by the organization which the school board W plomgllthough the board does not have to collect the money which is used for the schools, all of it must be properly distributed by them. Each department is con- stantly asking for equipment and it is the boards desire to have as modern equipment as pos- sible. A system which hires over 150 teachers is a large concern and to have only six people as its judicial body places a large responsibility on each one. We are fortunate in having on our board these members: president, Mr. lohn W. Luff, Who is vice-president of the Independence Foundry, secretary, Mr. lohn Hinde, Who. is in the insurance business, Mrs. Adron Randall, a former teacher in lndepenclencey Mr. Fleming Pen- Mr. lohn W.

Our Congress STUDENT COUNCIL At the beginning ot the second semester of this school year, the students ot William Chrisman High School showed their growing interest in democracy by voting to support the tirst Student Council ot our school. In the early part of l939 plans tor student government were started by a group known as the Student Council Study Club. Iimmy Townsend, class of '40, introduced these new ideas to the faculty with such enthusiasm that the whole school was soon awake to the need of Chrisman for a democratic school government-one which would teach citizenship by ex- perience. Under the able sponsorship ot Miss Anne Stewart, the members ot the Study Club formu- lated their ideas of a student council suitable for Chrisman. After much research and earnest work, the Study Club presented a new constitution. This year the group continued its cam- paign ot educating the students to this new type of SChOO1 QIOVefHI1'1eI1T bY PTGSGF-ting CI Series ot explanatory talks in assemblies.

The tact that we are ranked as a Class A school in the North Central Association proves the excellent supervision of these workers. To have the rank of A our teachers are required to have a BA degree or one equal to it. Our library must have a certain quota of books, and many other exacting specifications are made. It is the intention of our school board to give us the best of instructors, course, and equip- ment. They give their time whole heartedly and without any compensation whatsoever except the joy they receive from serving the youth ot their community. To these untiring workers ot our democracy at Chrisman, we express the deepest gratitude. P.T.A. meeting, December 10 PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The P. T.
