L ouincit Revolutionary tendencies dominated the wcjmen ' s student govern- ment this year. It all started in the fall elections when the sororities did themselves proud by abandoning the clique system entirely and going in for honest politics in a big way. The resultant council proceeded to sponsor a new honor system, revise the outmoded point system and sup- port the Senate in their redistribution of the student activity fee. And then there were the inevitable May Day plans to occupy about two months of deciding color schemes and dances and stunts and keep- ing everybody guessing who was to be the Queen. The Cat ' s-Paw, stunt night substitution for the usual flowery May Day celebration, is fast on the way to becoming one of the Hilltop ' s best and most colorful traditions. Members of the Council also planned and carried out two large teas honoring high school graduates. These affairs are held in Stockham at the beginning of each semester when a new crop of freshmen are about to descend upon the Hill. Newest move gotten under way by the energetic councilors this year is a plan for an executive council, a combination governing body to replace the present scheme of separate Senate and Council. This change will be taken under consideration during the Fall elections. nleinbei ' S Mary Eleanor Bell Barbara Callaway Sarah Douglas Wilbur Fite Alice Jones Martha Ann Paty Mary Margaret Price Betsy Royce Leslie Thorpe Doris Turnipseed

Holland, Editor ke J iiiio f The Progressive Newspaper for Bir- mingham-Southern Students appeared the first Friday of school, and every- body had to learn to say Hilltop News instead of Gold and Black. It ' s face was lifted, typographically speaking; in 1 Downing Street, its new home in the library basement, the editor and his cohorts were to hold forth with air raid arias, new movements on the campus, and bull sessions on everything from pohtics to Who Stole Tom ' s Girl. Six pages rolled off the press in contrast to the traditional four. Pages of pictures were compiled before the year was over — pictures of events happening on the campus and made by home-grown photographers, a distinct innovation in the history of the paper. Of course the photographs later found their way to the Hilltop News walls and beamed beatifically down on struggling repor- ters the rest of the year, but they didn ' t seem to mind, and it amused the boys Muiiagni Editor Mizelle
