'k BOARD GF GOVERNORS-Wilson's Annual War Bond Drive which, in December, went over the top to give renewed strength to our participation in the war, is an example of the administrative ca- pabilities of Wilson's Board of Governors. Supreme in the arts of democratic legislation is Wilson's Board. Elected by the entire student body, they represent the superlative in executive and administrative abilities. On local issues ,too, swift action and clear thinking highlighted their every move. By approving the Student Court the Board of Governors introduced new liberal legislation into the school. It was the Board of Governors that sponsored the talk, The Story Outside of Germany, by Dr. Hall. f STUDENT COUNCIL-Made up of able, competent members from every major activity, the Stu- dent Council is the governing body in Wilson. These students who spark some hundred dynamic school activities furnish the power that fires the Wilson campus. The Council has taken an active part in student affairs during the past year. Highlights were the pro motion of the Student Court, approval of the new club constitutions, and preparation of the student body budget. They also planned fine and interesting assemblies and formulated a plan for 'revising the gold W points. These students, who represent many extra-curricular activities at Wilson, meet once each week under capable guidance of Leon Catlin. A HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-Solving campus problems through open student discussion is the primary objective of the House of Representatives composed of two members from each section who set standards of conduct for the patio, cafeteria, and auditorium. Through the House of Repre- sentatives a judicial department was organized, in the form of a Student Court, to try the students that violated the House rulings. The comical assembly depicting the bad points of the campus was spon- sored by Wilson's legislative body-the House of Representatives. Y STUDENT COURT-The Student Court, Judicial department of student government, was start- ed this year as an outgrowth of the House of Representatives' need for prosecuting those students who would not conform with student-made rules. Students are summoned to the Court after receiving two citations, and are put on probation or penalized by the group. The personnel of the court includes the governors, two members from the Council, six members from the House, President of classes and Girls' League and officers of the house. Certain members of the court are retained from year to year. A member of the court may be impeached by the majority of the House of Representatives.
