STUDENT COUNCIL iVCH 1950 there has been in e.xistence at the Seminary an honor system which has. we feel, brought closer to us in our school lives the spirit of De- mocracy. The Student Council is the body through which this system oper- ates. 1 he president, vice-president, and secretar ' - treasurer are elected directly by the student body. Other members, elected by the organizations they represent, are ex officio on the Council: the presidents of the four classes; the presidents of Service League, the Masque Players, and the Athletic Association: and. represent- ing the Middle School, the president of thefr executive body, the Middle School Association. This group meets each week with an adviser. The Student Council holds bi-monthly meetings with the Headmistress, at which problems are discussed and proposals made for the better management of school affairs. A question box in the Study Hall gives each girl in the school contact with the deliberations of the Council. The responsibilities assumed by members of the organization assist greatly in the smooth running of many aspects of school life. Study hall supervision is in their hands through a system of student proctors. Student assistance at the switch board and at other duties is in their hands. One of the chief responsibilities of the Council is the preparation of Annie s Alphabet, a handbook intended to famil- iarize students with school customs and regulations. It is written or revised during the summer and given to all girls at Annie s Birthday Party, the first school get- together of the year. At one of the Wednesday afternoon Assembly periods this year the Council enlivened the pages of the booklet by presenting highlights of its contents in skits and a ' quizz. Commencement, the retiring president is prosrnterl with n svmhol of her office, a liny gold gavel.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION and SEMINARY ATHLETIC COUNCIL C E Athletic Association is an organization to which every Upper School girl belongs. At the beginning of the year. ea h new member of the Ath- letic Association is initiated into either the Blue or the (»old team at a ver ' impressive candle light ceremony. All through the school year there is Blue and Ciold team competition at various sports, siu U ,is hex krv Knv| etball. ping- pong, and badminton In close connedion wilh tlie Athletic Assoc icttion is llu- eminary Athletic Council. Organized in 1940 by Mrs. S. S. lohnsen. instructor of Physical llduc a tion. S. A. C. has become one of the most active organizations of the school. Tfiree times each year Take-ons are held, when members are chosen from the Upper School for their qualities of loyally, sportsmanship, dependa bility, courtesy, and initiative. The Athletic Association Banquet on the evening of May Day is arranged by S. A. C. The formal dress of the guests — among whom are the Upper School day students — gives no indication of the excitement and anticipation that fill every- one s heart as she finds her place card at one of the cleverly decorated tables in Paddock Hall. This year as usual there had been much curiosity as to the theme of the decorations a curiosity whetted by the sight of S. A. C. members return Ing from mysterious missions laden with armfuls of shells. The reason for the expeditions was immediately revealed at first sight of the tables and programs, which carried out the theme, Underwater. The Bishop, the Headmistress, and the Physical Education instructor preside at tl)e biuunirt ,if whirli iflJrfi, iw.irtis for the year arc macl« The activities of S. A. C . cire not confined to alhlc lK I t ir . . L . «inc{ Student Council combined their efforts to give the school a very successful Fall Dance. At the first meeting after the dance it was decided that the school was in need of its own juke-box. S. A. C. undertook the responsibility of c hairmanship for the Juke-box Drive whic h it opened by sponsoring the Choir of the West on March 7. Each class pledged $25 towards the fund, whic li they raised in a variety of ways. ITius S. A. C. has ended its fifth happy and eventful year as an organization of the Annie Wright Seminary. 26
