It serves to remind us to obey the rules, and when these are broken, it decides the neces- sary penalty. With the help of a successful honor system it insures the smooth running of the school life. Several times during the year this organization has meetings which are open to the entire student body. At these meetings any situations which have arisen can be discussed by everyone, and the problems faced in running a school can be fully appreciated by everyone. The Council is open to suggestions at this time and it has been happy to discover that many students are interested and will- ing to give their opinions on how to make the student government even more effective. This has led, to greater cooperation between the students and their school officers. The Student Council is composed of the presi- dent of the Student Body, the presidents and vice- presidents of every class., the House Council and Day Student presidents, the president of Optima, and a secretary -treasurer. Cindy has been an excellent president this year. Through her leader- ship the Council has been able to make a success of the difficult tasks which fall to it. Mrs. Lowry, who acts as advisor, has helped throughout the year with her good judgment and ready advice- Our Student Council is a member of an inter- school council which is composed of members from the governing bodies of various private schools in the area. The members of this council meet and compare the different ways in which problems are handled at their respective schools. Early in the year this interschool council spon- sored a mixer for seniors with the idea of giving students at different schools an opportunity to meet each other, A new year with a new President has made the need of a strong Student Council greater than ever. We have been fortunate in having such a council and are proud of the excellent job it has done. 14

HOUSE COUNCIL The boarders are governed by a council con- sisting of a president, secretary, and proctors who are selected from the boarders themselves. The president, who must be a senior, is elected at the end of her junior year to serve with the advisor, Mrs. Cleland, as the presiding officer over all house meetings. The proctors are elected every term to see that house rules are followed on their particu- lar halls. Their influence on others, their citizen- ship record, and reliability are all factors In choos- ing the girl who is to undertake the responsibilities of a proctor. When necessary, the entire House Council meets to decide upon the action to be taken against those who have broken the House Rules. At other times during the year all the boarders meet with Mrs. Cleland and the president of House Council in house meetings. The purpose of these is to dis- cuss any recent changes in the handbook and also to determine how everyone can better comply with the old rules. Besides being a student governing body, House Council is responsible for organizing the annual Christmas party tor the boarders. In the spring it gives an End-ohthe-Year party, also. House Council is an important part of the life of the boarders. Through it the girls are able to participate in the government of their school.
