Server, 70.00 r * i > f Tech High Students Govern Themselves; Signs Warn Pupils to ‘Park’ Gum Outside; Not to Slide Down Bannister Welfare Council Composed of More Than 200 Members Legislates for Entire School. By Wit,I.IAM LAMPMANN. In the school days of the older generation a hickory stick, terrifying frowns and the reiterated injunctions of the school ma’am served to intimi date the good pupils of a class, hut had little effect, if any, upon the "bad boys.’’ Today, the order is changed, as Is shown at Technical High school. Stu dents govern themselves, and do It more efficiently In the large high school than could twire the number of teachers. Through self-government at school, the students are given valuable les sons in good citizenship, which help them to become community assets at graduation. Home Room Political I:nlt. The "home room'' is the political unit of the school. It Is to these rooms that the'various classes first report each morning. From them are chosen the representatives to ths student welfare council, a boy and a girl being elected from each home room. Only students with a fixed scholastlcal average ars eligible. At present the welfare council has more than 200 members The council is subdivided into committees which devote themselves to various phases of school govern ment. These committees are: Ac tivities association, booster, cafeteria, care and appearance of property, courtesy, library, personal habits, punctuality, scholarship, social aerv ice, traffic. The council meets by committees each week. Campaigns, drives and projects of various types, designed to keep the student body efficient, are planned and executed. Signs and placards, furnished by the school printing department, and posters, obtained from the art de partment, are used extensively in student management. Punctuality Week.

The library committee guards the theft of books from the school library and endeavor* to teach students the correct manner in which to use that department. "Are you being fair and square to the other fellow”” Is the text of one of their placards. The cafeteria committee prints the day’s menu dally in the high school publication. it has also Issued a bulletin relative to the correct tise of the cafeteria. Care and appearance of property committee guards the new school building from mutilation at the hands of thoughtless students. Some of their signs are: ’ Park your gum outside;” "These walls need no sec ond coating;” "I’m watching you— don't you tilt that chair;” "Why | write on the wails—paper is cheap er.” School Habits Cqmmlttee.
