STUDENT GOVERNMENT Training the student for living in a democracy can best be accomplished by having him live in an organization which most nearly represents that democracy. Training for life by having to meet situations which resemble, to some extent at least, the real situations of life, is fast becoming the theory and practice of good schools. In view of these facts, the faculty and students of the Williaiiisville Township High School decided to give student government a trial. After much labor and thought, a tentative constitution was written, presented to the students, and was finally adopted, after some changes, in 1930. The nature of this governing agency is as follows: The student council, whose duty is to see that the provisions of the constitution are carried out, is composed of two members elected from each class, a president elected by popular vote of the student body, and a faculty adviser. The vice-president and the secretary-treasurer are elected from the council members. This year a great deal of stress was placed on the election of the council repre- sentatives and the president. Before the elections, qualities and duties of such member- ship were discussed at length in the home rooms. After nominations were made, each nominee promised that if he were elected he would perform the duties of that office to the best of his ability. The class representatives were elected in their respective home rooms. Nominations for the president were made in the home rooms, then cam- paign speeches for each candidate were made before the assembly. The voting was carried out like a regular election, by secret ballots in the different precincts or home rooms. Election returns from each precinct were counted and read. The council officers this year are as follows: President, Mildred Dye: Senior representatives, Dorothy Lawson, Merl Smith, Junior representatives, Alberta Patterson, Taylor Stittg Sophomore representatives, Frances Carter, Donald Lercherg Freshman representatives, Mary Jane Brittin, Emmet Britting Faculty adviser, Miss Williams. The council, under the efficient and capable leadership of Miss VVilliams, has carried out some worth while activities this year. They have had complete control of the library, appointed head librarians and assistants to care for it every period of the day: they appointed students to care for the study hallg they arranged for assembly programs and entertainments, they checked and recorded attendance and tardinessg-they super- vised and decided all matters concerning the extra curricular activities of the schoolg they made and enforced any rules they felt were for the betterment of the school, they worked out a system for checking each class every six weeks for the citizenship trophy which is given by the Board of Education to the class having the best record. These are only a few of the worth while activities of the student council. It does 11ot attempt to handle technical affairs for which the principal, faculty or janitor is responsible. The principal has the power of veto, but does not exercise this power only in very excep- tional cases, because the council realizes that its powers are delegated to it by the principal and that it will be held responsible for its actions. Student government in our school is only two years old but the splendid results have certainly justified its existence. Student government will develop only through successful accomplishments which the school and community can see and appreciate. lllIlllIlllIIllIllIIllIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN1 932llllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllIllIIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Fourteen
