Student Councif Twice yearly the members of the Student Council, for the following term, are chosen by a school-wide election, after the Held has been narrowed through nominations by students. The elected council then chooses its own officers. The purpose of the Council is two-fold: first, to act as a connecting link between faculty and students, and thus to promote understanding, co-operation and school spirit, and secondly, to give young men the opportunity to govern their own affairs and make their own decisions. The duties of the council are many and varied. In the sports department, the Student Council encouraged attendance at games by olfering cash awards to the classes showing ardent school spirit. They sponsored bus trips to the out-of-town games, and promoted the ad drive for a football program. Through the Booster Club, they aroused school spirit by pep-rallies and pre-game skits. At the end of the season, they awarded trophies to the football team's best back and lineman. To encourage participation in extra-curricular activi- ties, the Council awarded G pins to active students, and gold activity keys to outstanding participants in the extra-curriculars. They also picked the student-of-the month, for the school newspaper. Other functions of the council are, suggesting school improvements, scheduling Purple and White dances, and decorating for various affairs in school. Moderated by Mr. Ronald E. Redmond, SJ., the Student Council has worked hard and has accomplished much around the school.
