PAGES FOR SENATORS The U.S. Congress consists of a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of 100 senators elected for six years, one third being elected every two years. There are two senators for each state. The House of Representatives is composed of 435 representatives, elected for two years. There is a group of teenage boys who are pages (helpers) for senators. The eighty pages run errands which means that they sharpen pencils, carry books, fetch glasses of water for members of the Senate and tie House of Representatives. The pages are chosen by selected politicians from the country's brightest 14 to 18-year-olds for periods from two months to four years. Few, however, serve longer than a year for being appointed a page is considered a great honour as they have a unique opportunity to witness America's legislators at work. Senators like to spread such favours around as many future voters as possible. Till 1971 the pages were only boys. That year Paulette Desell, a girl of 17, became the first female page to be appointed by the US Senate. So that pages don't fall behind with their studies a special page school exists in the Library of Congress which offers usual High School course at the most unusual hours: from 6a.m. until 10 a.m., and then again in the evenings. Before Congress assembles, usually at noon, the pages supply their politicians with necessary papers such as Congressional Records, bills and amendments. From noon until business is concluded which could be as early as 6 p.m. or it could be well into the night - they are at the beck and call of little buttons lighting up in the House or snapping fingers in the Senate.
