0 The Monitors of Lafayette are an active and well-organized group, and under the guidance of Mr. l-limmele and the leadership of captains, lean Graham and William Pongo, they have served the school efficiently and well. 0 They are almost a hundred strong and may be found in the most unexpected placesi the stage, the infirmary, the projection booth and any of the many exits. The majority of them are on uhall dutyf' others work in the offices as clerks, messengers, and switch board operators. 0 In addition to its administrative activities the group is prominent in the social life of the school. Their affairs are always well planned and executed, this is doubtlessly the secret of their success and popularity. During the past year the Monitors have sponsored a Lucky Day Dance, on Friday, November l3, and a St. Patrick's Day Dance. ln order to raise money to meet the emergency flood relief demands, a very good musical show was presented almost on the spur of the moment. There is no doubt but that the Roller Skating Party planned for the spring will be as enjoyable and profitable as the other functions of the year. 0 Through the cooperation of all the Monitors, the minor mechanical details of academic life have been smoothed out, and the Lafayette Monitors have become of vital importance administratively and socially in the school life.

This was a completely new idea in the school, and had as its aim the cooperation of the faculty and the students on student problems particularly, and secondarily the creation of a device whereby information could be disseminated quickly to the entire student body. This would supply an expression of student opinion on matters concerning the students, inasmuch as the delegates to the council would have an opportunity to talk over im- portant subjects in their own home rooms before these matters were decided upon in a council meeting. 0 True, as yet the council has done little, but the important thing is that it has been formed. It takes time to get anything to a point where it can act intelligently and efficiently in a position of responsibility. We rejoice over the possibility of attaining next year the active cooperation of the students and the teachers on matters of importance to all Lafayette people. STUDENT COUNCIL 17
