Each served in his respective house on the following day and debated on bills brought before the floor. The subjects of these bills had been predetc.-» mined: Labor fringe benefits, Federal Aid to education, L-w.n America, and Western _*iii*opc.

In House A, every bill brought up for consideration was voted down. Committees Agree on Bill to Submit Preceding the assembly meetings, committees met. Each chamber had four committees, one for each topic, and each committee formed out of the bills submitted a single which was brought before assemblies. Since the meetings in committees and in the assembly were conducted according to Robert's Rules of Order, the Shortridge participants, all members of the Shortridge Senate, found the going quite easy.' Although high schools from all around Indiana were present, it was found in the committee meetings that delegations from different sections of Indiana had nearly the same bills.

Admission to thc party is a toy. Before school on that day, seniors are to hring their toys to the main foyer where they will be exchanged for a ticket admitting them to the party. The toys will be sent to needy chlfdren. Much tradition is involved with the Christmas party. Some member of the faculty plays Saint Nick and calls upon the upperclassmen to offer a few gifts to some of the seniors. The faculty member who plays the part of Santa remains a mystery until his appearance at the party. So, If you should happen to observe a senior bringing a toy to school along with his books and if the foyer looks like a convention for stuffed dolls and animals next Tuesday, don't think Shortridge has reverted to kindergarten, it's only the senior Christmas party taking form. bill the the Neuen Chorale Sings 'Elijah' to Full House The Don Neuen Chorale, directed by Don Neuen, Shortridge music teacher, presented "Elijah," an oratorio by Mendelssohn, at Caleb Mills HaU, Saturday night, December 9. The program was presented before a full house. It was sponsored by the Zeta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, a national professional honorary fraternity of women in the field of music.
