THE STUDENT COUNCIL S| 1hORE this year than ever before is understood ihe importance of co- Hifl N tfG operation and absolute obedience in ordinary times as well as in times rl I W li stress. With war to the west of them and war to the east of them. Illl Sw ill y® ' ? Americans should realize the responsibilities and duties which they must assume in order that the freedoms of Democracy may triumph, ultimately, over the slavery of Dictatorship. A well-organized school realizes this fact and Ix ' gins to train its students to govern themselves, not only to achieve group af tion but also to gain In tl)at greatest of all government — per sonal self-control. For the past several years the Seminar) lia had such a form of governnitnt. A Student Council composed of representatives freely elected, annually, by the student body and fatuity has worked in close cooperation with Miss Fitch and Mrs. f owell. Through meetings held each month the Council is able to express the constructive suggestions of the student body in order that the students as well as the faculty may strive to interpret its ideals to those who come here to live and learn. This form of government provides for an efficient honor system in which each girl is responsible for her own actions which, in turn, should be for the best interests of her companions and her school. Only in extreme cases do the junior and senior members of the Student Council act as a court, the Honor Board. In this year of nineteen hundred and forty-two. all school and college students should be especially thankful for the opportunities and privileges which the free- dom-loving American way of life offers to each of them. Thus, we dedicate our- sel ves to the perpetuation of those things which we hold to be sacred, dear, and worth preserving and for which we will give our lives, if necessary, in order that our children may live freely and without fear.

SEMINARY AIHIJTIC COUNCIL HE purpose of the Seminary Athletic Council is to advance the spirit of fair play in the school. S. A. C, whose members are carefully chosen from among the student body, is an active part of the Athletic Association. S. A. C. members are in charge of the younger children during tfie noon hour and in the afternoon, and in the rare absences of Mrs. Johnsen. they supervise the afternoon sports of the Upper School. The president of S. A. C. attends the Student Council meetings at which she presents questions previously discussed in S. A. C. meetings. Problems pertain- ing to athletic activities in the school are put before her by the Council, and she, in turn, brings them before the Athletic Council. The blue and gold beanies and the triangular gold pins worn by members of the S. A. C. are symbols of ability, responsibility, and honesty. Although the Seminary Athletic Council has been active only two years, it is playing an increas- ingly important part in the life of the school. The members realize their respon- sibility to the school and to the student body, and they carry out their duties with this thought in mind. Anita Df rry. Class XIL [281
