:§ ti!iUuit (6nurrmm'nt ICraiiitr President Crack McMillkn Wo all agree that good discipline is the first condition of a good school, but the idea of discipline has changed in recent years. Obedience is no longer to be secured by mere force. Realizing these conditions, a co-operative government was started. Kvery girl has a voice in making the laws by which she is governed and in choosing officers to administer these laws. Knowing this, the “Student (Government League was organized bv the request of the boarding girls of the Normal last Spring. A constitution was formulated and presented to the League, which being passed went into effect March 5, 1923. Though our organization is young yet. we feel that we have gotten a good start in the right direction. At the opening of the school year the Council together with the V. V. C. A. Cabinet welcomed the new students by establishing the “Little Sister” Movement. Every new girl was presented with a “big sister” from the Senior class to look after her comfort and happiness. Folders, containing useful information, were sent to all new gills before the opening of school. Through a committee, money was collected from the girls for the purchase of new records for the Yictrola. The frequent use of them tells us how much they are appreciated. In order that the surplus-energy of every one might be disposed of. the night before Thanksgiving vacation, the Council invited every one to the gymnasium to a dance. No other week-end was more enjoyable to the most of us than “Mother's Week-End.” Every girl invited her mother and a large number were able to come. The Council held a reception in honor of the Mothers in the gymnasium. Every one had a delightful time. We hope that t his organization may grow in power and through this strength, help students to regulate their own conduct, thus fitting them for the moral battle of life.
