Om THE MAIQLBQIQQUGH DIAILW 563 I I The Sludenl Council NOVEMBER 22-Today I visited a meeting of the Student Council in the Conference Room. It was a regular weekly meeting, and really I was filled with awe when I saw how much was accomplished. The Student Council acts as an assisting group to Miss Blake in formulating and exe- cuting school policies. They sponsored Friendship Week and have many fine plans for the whole year. The council also serves as a connecting link between Miss Blake, the faculty, and the girls, and helps a lot in dis- cussing individual cases of misunderstanding. It centralizes committee activities and plans to issue the first Marlborough handbook. During the meeting I looked over the members, and it's wonderful how representative they are. The chairman is Lucia Raymond, Senior members, Virginia Chamberlain, Mary Sinclair, and Brenda Jane Boosg the Juniors, Dorothy Willis, Jean Albertson, and Janet Haskins, the Sophomores, joan Bran- del, Eleanor Kirkley, and Willimina Montague. The ex-officio members are Miss Blake, Miss De Wolf, student adviser, and Eugenia Winzeler, chairman of the Resident Student Council. No wonder the school runs so smoothly! H03

C35 THE MAIQLEQIQOUGH DIAIQV 5-63 I I N OVQfl'l!JQP NOVEMBER 11-Today was Armistice Day, and we came to school as usual, for this does not seem a day for theater or beach. At eleven o'clock we observed the three minutes of silent prayer that all the western world was observing. It seems strange that we cannot remember the war which is still so near and so real to many people. We had a short pro- gram in memory of the signing of the Armistice too. NOVEMBER 12-After school today Mrs. Ledger gave a most interest- ing recital. She has a lovely voice . . . a rich, beautiful mezzo-soprano. The tea was awfully good too! NOVEMBER 15-Another contest! This one was the annual drive for the Community Chest. The class that collected the most was to get a half holiday, and the Sophomores won! The Seniors just don't win any- thing! The total collection for the whole school was 577692. I wonder who contributed the two cents! NOVEMBER 21-Ye Gods! Another contest! And the juniors won it. A yell contest! Mr. Bushnell, who is yell leader at U. C. L. A., endeavored to teach us something about the fine art of yelling. He then helped to judge the contest. To change the subject rather abruptly, two new clubs have been formed. A handicraft club which is going to make leather things, hand- toolecl and everything, has been formed with Mary Sinclair as president, Catherine Van Wart, vice-president, Florence Raymond, secretary, and Caroline Mitchell, treasurer. All the music students in the school have banded together as a Music Club to meet once a month. Edwine Mon- tague is president, and the .purpose of the club is to provide music for entertainments and to give the girls experience before an audience. 11393

C?-5 THE MAIQLEOIQOUQH DIAIQV 563 h I NOVEMBER 24-The Glee Club gave their first concert this morn- ing in assembly. Considering the short time since they first organized, I think that they did awfully well. In fact, they did well without the consideration! NOVEMBER 25-I learned a lot about committees today. They are the backbone of our organization, and we were all glad to know what they planned for the year. The chairmen are appointed by the chairman of the Student Council, with the advice and approval of Miss Blake and Miss De Wolf. The group then appoints the members of the respective committees after weighty consultation, determining the size of the com- mittee by the extent of its functions. Meetings are held once a month. just dwell upon the precision . . . like a Swiss watch . . . with which we conduct the school! NOVEMBER 26-Hurrah! Today we got out for Thanksgiving vaca- tion! What I wonyt do during these four days of anything but leisure! seo? I li- n H11
