J U N E STUDENTS ASSOCIATION E are not only indebted to our books for our cultural develop- ment: we are likewise indebted to the advanced system of student participation in Olney which was offered us as an oppor- tunity to apply the knowledge we gained from our books to our practical school life. We of Olney have received practical experience in conducting civil affairs and in solving civil prob- lems. We have undertaken, along with the rest of the Students' Association, the responsibility of electing president, vice-president, senators, and representatives. We have been faced With the problem of selecting students who are best equipped for the Student Association offices. Such students have relieved teachers of all monitorial duties. Under the able guidance and inspiration of the Student Association sponsors-Mr. Oeste, Mr. Glenn, and Mr. Waidelich-the elected officers have had the added responsi- bility of acting on legislation concerning school welfare. Hence we, the graduating class, do not feel that we are en- tering, inexperienced, into a world entirely foreign to us. Instead, we rather feel that we are entering a world similar to that which we have just left. It operates on a grander scale: its problems are far more complex, its demands are greater. But, because of our experience at Olney, we are not afraid to meet them. ., !

'FW 1937 STUDENTS' ASSOCIATICDN OFFICERS SALUTE to the leaders! Even while devoting themselves to their studies, they have been able to pilot our ship of state safely into the port of the world's work. Previously, the members of our class gave strength to the crew, but, on this last leg of our educational voyage, they have held the responsibility of leader- ship. Nobly, indeed, has the task been done. The ability of our captain, Stephen Lax, has brought our vessel successfully across the bar. His sharp eye and steady hand has kept our ship from the rocks of disaster. The passengers are indeed grateful for the ability of their chief officer. Stephen rose with his crew, not from it, and we drop anchor with the knowledge that the class that follows us will have a high standard at which to aim. We are grateful for the persevering and unsung labor that our ship's purser, Virginia Quimby, has given so gladly in her Association. Virginia capacity as Secretary of the Students' has held that position for many terms and has executed her office well. We extend our thanks to the lower class officers of the Students' Association. We owe much of the success of the term to Ruth Ebert, our Vice-President. We will always remember Edward Kane, President of the Senate, who, though still a junior, is one of the most active boys in the school.
