The council has so succeeded in its attempt to interest the student body in the activity room and the fund for the room for which last year's seniors left a sum of money, that it is no longer an ideal but a reality. The council has revived the point system in Central where- by a set of points is given for general school service, scholastic, literary, dramatics, music, and athletics. This new plan will be put into service next year. By sponsoring a movie pay assembly, March 29, council deducted some of the expense of putting out the handbook. Mrs. Jennie Keith and Mr. Charles Croley acted as the sponsors for the council this year. Other officers of the council for the past year were Llewellyn Lewis, vice-president: Justine Gallagher, secretaryg Helen Shanstrom, treasurer, and sergeant- at-arms, Peter Duffy. The council established a new system of traffic regulations on the inclines. The upgoing traffic used the Nlichigan incline, and the trafic coming down used the Broadway incline. Another plan which was initiated last year, was the honor system put into working progress very successfully by this year's group. The council also established a series of radio programs pr sented by the students over station KGHF. Attractive . ts included in the council-sponsored vodevil were those staged by the Alethorians the Hi-Y McCarthy act: and the Girls' cabinet dancers.

e ' V. I E!' Qin interface- Mm lim. Aims to Give Personal Note to Education Guidance work is for the purpose of giving the personal note to education. It is the school's attempt to individualize education so that stu- dents are relieved from the confusion of courses and subjects. At almost any hour of the day students are seen in Miss Mary C. McNally's or Mr. W. S. Stoddard's oflice planning programs, studying colleges and their requirements, trying to prevent failures, and studying career possibilities. Other phases of the Work done in this department are social adequacy, personality development and problems of everyday living. Joining clubs and societies are encouraged as a means of developing poise and social grace. Emphasis is placed upon the opportunities to study the vocational possibilities. More than 300 pamphlets and books are available in the guidance rooms which are used in order that the students may prepare for occupations of their choice. Personal problems of all sorts are discussed in private conference between counsellors and stu- dents, Where the advisers listen and offer sug- gestions but leave the decisions to the students. In this way friendly, helpful relationships are built up which are very necessary in helping students to help themselves. Twenty to twenty-five students visit the ad- visers every day for program adjustments, to straighten out irregularities, to seek advice, to find part-time jobs, to solve personal problems, study vocations. The guidance department Works in close co- operation with class room teachers, home room teachers, and the educational research depart- ment. It centralizes the guidance program in which all teachers are very necessary factors, and also is of great service to the students. Personal conferences are offered at many times during the day by the Central counsellors, Miss Mary C. Mc- Nally. vice-principal, and Mr. W. S. Stoddard.

ljhristmas saw members of thc Girls' cabinet providing crippled children with evidences of the gootl cheer of the holiday season. Decorations for Central were furnished by the council. Cabinet BIPIIIIJOPS Provide Unity Among Central Girls The Girls' Cabinet, a comparatively new organization at Central. has taken wide strides this year in uniting the connec-1 tions of the girls of the school. Guided by Miss Mary C. McNally, vice-principal, the members of the cabinet as the representatives of all girls of the school discuss all the problems facing them. They also work on ways the girls can attain improvement for the school. At Christmas everyone responded enthusiastically to a call made by cabinet members for gifts for the patients in the pedi- artic ward at St. Mary's hospital. The members of the cabinet gathered all the gifts and delivered them to the hospital. Another idea that the girls' cabinet has promoted is the girls' mixers. There were two held this year, both of which were great successes. This spring the cabinet sponsored a formal dance given in honor of the seniors. At their meetings the representatives heard talks given by women who specialize in a certain field. The speeches were to give the girls some idea of the fields of work today. The cabinet also assisted in the selling of tickets for the various events which were presented this year. One of the most interesting projects carried on by this group was their scrapbook. The book contained articles taken from the Times, programs, or anything that concerns the cabi- net. The scrapbook is to be kept for future years. X s Row 6: Moore.
