Student Government Association Ihe purpose of this organization shall be to promote personal responsibility, loyalty, and a high sense of honor in the individual — by in- culcating the underlying principles of self-gov- ernment and democracy — democracy, which has become such an important word in the world ' s vocabulary. Being a democracy, Mary Washington has student government, government by the stu- dents collectively, through their elected repre- sentatives. Their representati ' es, the Council of 1 94 1, have striven to create a democratic spirit, a sense of belonging which causes every girl to take pride in the highest standards of personal honor. It is because she wants to and not because she has to that the student ac- cepts the responsibility both with regard to personal conduct and the conduct of others. Believing that democracy flourishes in the sail of friendliness, Student Council has tried to bring the students closer together to feel a spirit of unity. Toward this goal name badges were worn for the first time by the freshmen. The Formal Reception and the Election Day Dance brought Council nearer its purpose. In a year during which Democracy has been so severely challenged, Mary Washington students have been more fully aware of this priceless treasure they possess — student go - ernment. Yes, it is only a small rivet in the tremendous skyscraper of world democracy — but who can deny that it is these small ri -ets which hold the vast steel structure together Jeanette Cooper President 126
