THE STUDENT COUNCIL ( Y. when the world is more than ever awake to the importance of a democratic form of government, we at the Seminary are happy to feel that we have a representative type of government in which a student council is elected by the students. This Council depends largely on the responsibility of each girl for the enforcement of the rules of the school. The Student Council is composed of the presidents of all classes and ( Iul)s. who meet once a month to report on school activities and to offer suggestions which have come from the students. In cases of extreme misconduct, the junior and seniors members of this Council meet as an Honor Board. We feel thankful that it has not met in that capacity this year. The Council wishes to express the heartiest appreciation to the girls for their co-operation in all that it has endeavored to do in the past year. It feels that the individuality and responsibility shown by Seminary girls in the conduct of their student government will be a great help to them in shouldering the problems that they will encounter in their lives and in the coming peace.

Seminary girls who were interested in dramatics initi- ate! a new organization in the school, the Masque Players. The club ,is formed to stimulate and maintain interest in dramatic activity. J Its members feel there is no greater pleasure than that which comes through the cultivation and expression ol a talent, even if only in a small way. This year the members chose Elka Robbins for President, Margot Martin for Vice President, and Margaret Jean Langabeer for Secretary-Treasurer. In the ( ourse „f the vear thev added to their membership Connie Brewer. Margaret Sny- Virginia Oakley. Virginia Allen. Marian Pierce. Antoinette Hannah. Rita Petersen, Barbara Sanders. Mary Jane Haughton. and Elaine Rydell. In the fall the old members presented a one-act play. Breakfast, by G. Whit- field Cook, to acquaint the new girls witli the purpose and work of the club. In the spring three one-act plays were presented to the friends of the Seminary: Lost Victory by North Baker. Fortune Is a Cowboy by Thelma Fick Hunt, and The Si reen by Jerry Emerson. When a play is over, the public goes home with general impressions of the performance — pleasant ones, we hope. The cast, on the other hand, carries away a host of memories, some amusing, some tender. Even the tedious practice and memorizing of lines has had its fascination. The words of William Shakespeare express our keen appreciation of dramatics — The play s the thing. [29]
