Quinn, Mr. The governing body of our school, the School Coun- cil, which is composed of representatives from both the faculty and the student body, has played an influential and active role in the enforcement and establishment of school rules and student privileges. Through its com- mittees and commissions the council has provided a varied number of social events and extra-curricular activ- ities. One of the Council's main endeavors was to devise a code of aims and objectives under which it planned to function. This code proposed to interest the student body in all school activities, to provide a link between the faculty and the students and to give students an opportu- nity to partake in the responsibility of school events. Beginning work early in September, the Council started its program by holding a weekend workshop at a camp in Colebrook, Connecticut. The object of the work- shop was to give the council members an opportunity to work as a unit, to set up a long range program for the year, and to accomplish a maximum of work in a minimum of time. l 3 Christie.

The Council has striven to provide the students with the activities they desired. Through the Assembly Com- mission, the school has had a number of excellent assem- blies and also some spirit boosting pep rallies. The Social and Canteen Committees have provided for the sponsor- ship of numerous dances, canteens, and the highlight of the social year, a record hop. Many different and new clubs, to comply with the interests of all students, were chartered by the club commission. As a service to the school, the Council has provided the students with schedules of all sport events. The Eagles Nest campaign has furnished them with the opportunity to contribute to a number of charities. Through the co-operation of the administration and the support of the student body the Council has achieved its goals.
