liamentary procedure. My pre
vious experience as president of
the senates of Boys’ State and
the David Douglas Student Con
gress has trained me in effective
control of parliamentary law.
Next term I envision lively de

like to see the General Council
used as a forum on current

The General Council is the
voice of the student body. This
voice, however, is frequently
muffled by the overuse of par-
Although General Council is
an interesting organization, it is
not an important part of student
government. Liveliness is not
necessarily a sign of. importance
but it is an indication that peo

dent I would encourage council
pursuits which make GC meet
ings more productive and vital
to Grant, as well as lively.

League post attracts girls
What new ideas do you
have to make Girls’ league
new and different?
First of all, it is important
that more girls participate ac
tively in Girls’ league, which
can be achieved if officers em
phasize the importance of the
meetings. Also, an interesting
change in GL would be to have
some activities with the Girls’
leagues of other schools, for ex
ample, skating parties, dinners,
picnics, and so forth.
—-Linda Breeding
In the past Girls’ league has
sponsored such events as the
Mother-Daughter banquet and
Girls’ League week. It would be
a lot of fun if GL could sponsor
a “Daddy-Daughter Dinner” and
perhaps a TWERP (girl ask boy)
dance. An idea that was started
this term was Teacher Apprecia
tion day. On this day all teach
ers were given apples. One of
the main problems with GL at
present is that the same people
tend to do all thé work. If elect
ed, I would like to let some of
the new “eager” girls help with
the executive events.
—Robin Suwol
I believe in a more definite
theme for Girls’ League week.
One which the assembly, sales,

Hawkins dance could fit in well.

To update the Constitu
