THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION and [HE SEMINARY ATHI.ITIC COUNCIL girl in the upper school is a member of the Athletic Association. In the fall of each year every new girl and Freshman is initiated into this Assocation. Both an informal and formal initiation are held. Although both parts of the initiation are well remembered, the formal candlelight ceremony in which each girl is made a member of either the Blue or Gold team is not soon forgotten. The v AthI etic Council is an organization within the Athletic Asso- ciation. It is now six years old and has widely extended its activities beyond those of its founders. Members of S. A. C. are chosen by the council. Miss Jenkins, and the athletic directors. The girls are chosen for their qualities of responsibility sportsmanship, school spirit, courtesy, and initiative. It is the duty of this organi- zation to promote school spirit, cooperate with student council, and plan athletic , li ities. as well as to take care of younger girls at noon and after school. This year S. A. C. has been very proud of its main achievement— that is a new S. A. C. room. Every member helped either to clean, paint, or sand the floor, and now the room is readv for use for future years. S. A. C. also gave a dance in the fall with the Student Council for the entire upper school, with the theme of Autumn Serenade. We used our new Juke Box. and now it is played every noon by an S. A. C. member and at the many other occasions throughout the year for which it is needed. Other activities of S. A. C. have been revision of the constitution of the Ath- letic Association, and the elimination of all individual points in the point system. S. A. C. made plans for Dads Day. for which it plans the program every year. The following week, the climax of the athletic year— the Athletic Banquet— was held on the evening of May Day. AH the preparations for this important event were made by the S. A. C. members. This year both the Athletic Association and the Athletic Council have been under the direction of Miss Barbara Merrill and Miss Mary St. John, and with their direction, we have completed a very successful year. 19

STUDENT COUNCIL Le t to right: Lilly Kassos (Service League): Judy Minton (Secretary): Elizabeth Ayrault (Sophomore Class): Virginia Dravis (President): Janis Grvens (Vice President): Jean Thomson (House Chairman); Dona Carrington (Athletic Association): Lois Lund (Senior Class): Sally Pierce (Masque Players): Jean Vaara (Junior Class): Ann Davis (Middle School Assn.); Barbara Brewer (Freshman Class). In fore ground: Miss Sutherland and Miss Jenkins, advisers THE STUDENT COUNCIL CUE purpose df the Student Council is to create a firm sense of democracy among the students. With the world in such an unstable condition, the future citizens should realize their responsibilities toward maintaining the American way of life. Through the student government of the Seminary, the girls are trained to govern themselves not only in academic fields, but in social activities. Each class and organization has a representative on the Council. With Miss Jenkins and Miss Sutherland, the girls meet twice a month to dis DM the current problems of the school. The questions and suggestions which are placed in the box at the front of study hall are brought to the organization for its consideration. During the year, student body assemblies are held, at which time the Coim il explains policies which the students may fail to understand. In this way. the stu- dent body is given a chance to express its opinions about the way the school should be conducted. Other duties which the Council performs are preparing the s hool for the opening in September; publishing the helpful pamphlet. Annie s Alphabet, which explains the activities and traditions of the school; welcoming the girls with Annie s Birthday Party, and joining hands with S. A. C. in presenting the first dance of the year. The members of the Student Council aid Miss Jenkins in many aspects of school life. Through them, the honor system, which is the governing pow r l the school, is interpreted to the student body. It is the Council s aim to equip each girl with the qualities which she will need to make her way in the world. 18
