5 7 OlZa 730517 sz 5 7 ter show was :1 brilliant accomplishment. I remember also Ed Pearson in Antigone, whose dignity, authority, power, and die- tion are not to be surpassed. I am grateful to Ed Pearson for the excellence of his ambassadorship and for the diversity of his high accomplishments. He is one of the English children who have been taught how to speak. I am grateful to him too for his sardonic but genial tolerance of the Head MasterIs 0c- casional misguided Views on education and Anglo-American relations at Fifth Form tea. I recall with pleasure the January day when, as Bill Haddad had it, the Heelys were bled down the garden pathII and Hi- Fi invaded the Alumni Study. It was then that Dizzy Darwin installed himself as first of a group of experts all of whom knew all about everything, but no two of whom agreed about anything. It has been :1 year of notable leadership under Chuck Roeserls presidency. He and Twenty his Council have been constructive and responsible, and they have viewed the de Hciencies of faculty perceptions with be nign charity. And so on and so on, far beyond the space limitations which the editor wisely imposes on me. It has been a memorable year together; Mrs. Heely and I will not forget the fun and pleasure of your com- pany or your services to the School which makes us one. As I have said in another place, this is a place to love. This is a place to cherish. This is a place to hold within the fast- nesses of our hearts. As you leave this plot of ground, these buildings, these peo- ple who will stay behind and serve here, I hope you will hold fast to the dignity of our common inheritance. Mrs. Heely and I bid you good-bye with affection and confidence. ALLAN V. HEELY Head Master

THE STUDENT COUNCIL HIS was the first full year that the Student Council worked under the School Constitution, instituted in May of 1956, and the year proved an active one. The Student Council is composed of the School Council. the Directors of Upper, and the presidents of :111 the Fifth Form, Circle. and Lower School Houses. Early in the full three members of the Student Council attended a conference 011 student government at the Mercersburg Academy. The conference was 21 weekaend aHair and pro 'ed highly beneficial. Plans are now under way for :1 similar conference to be held at anrenceville in the fall of 1957. There was another Student Council con- ference held at Rutgers University for Tzuentyetzuo New Jersey public and private schools. Lawrenceville sent five delegates who were highly impressed and profited from the experience. The Council reformed the system of election of School ofhcers hy instigating :1 primary election, several weeks before the actual election, to determine six boys. The School paper agreed to publish pictures and records of the boys, thus making their potentialities more widely known. At present the Student Council is under taking, several projects. One is the institu- tion of a g-etetogether for eompetitors after athletic events. Another is :1 revision of the Work Program system, and the last is 21 revision of the Circle House checking sys- tem.
