To give the boys in the Middle School some experience in handling the problems of self-government which they will encounter in the Upper School, the Middle School Council handles its own problems. The Council is composed of nine boys, six elected by their own classmates and three appointed by the faculty. The Council is charged with the obliga- tion to support the school's Honor System, to foster school spirit, and to assist the faculty in many administrative duties. The Council boys preside at the Middle School assemblies, they correspond with and introduce assembly speakers, and they assist in the audio-visual program when it is incorporated in the assembly program. On a number of Saturdays, boys from the council have acted as hosts to incoming students who are taking their placement tests. A number of school activities-the magazine drive, the Community Chest, the Choir Concert ticket sales-have all been ably conducted by these boys. The Council is studying plans to help some orphaned or displaced children in Europe or the Far East, which may be undertaken next year. Many of the boys most active with the school bazaar and with the organized cheering at the games have been members of the Middle School Council. The officers of this year's club are: William Beale, president, John Riden, vice- presidentg Byron Huffman, secretary, and Carl von Lewinski, treasurer.

Among the student service organizations ranks the Spirit Council. lts members are chosen by the previous year's representatives. The chief function is to stimulate spirit for the various school functions, cheer rallies, and the athletic events. The familiar cheer rallies are entirely staged by the Council, they have been a deciding factor in improving the attendance at games. The large scoreboard at the school entrance is being restored by the club at present. It was started by a former faculty member, Mr. Mclfntire, and has since fallen into disrepair. The Council leads the opening of the Monday morning assemblies and each week a different representative describes the athletic events of both the coming and previous weeks. This year the Council is comprised of Walt Toy, president, Bob Gore, vice-president, Ted Bossert, secretary-treasurerg Butch Darrell, Student Council representative, Jerry Schmidt, sixth form representativeg Skip Darrell, fourth form representativeg Mel Schultz, third form representative, John Boyce, second form representative, and Randy Walker, Monogram Club representative. To this youngest of the student service organizations, the staff wishes continued success in their constant striving for improved school spirit. Spirit Council . . . ,,,. ,. ... tr- t -1 is M r os ..

In order to implement the religious life of the student body, the Student Vestry was formed in the fall of 1956. This group is charged with the responsibility of bringing the students in closer contact with the life and work of the Church. Members of the Student Vestry have represented the school at various religious con- ferences and sponsored a regional conference for the Baltimore area last fall. All the preparation and planning was done by members and their work was indicated in the success of the conference itself. The charitable work of the school is planned and executed by this organization. 'T he disposition of the funds gathered at the weekly offering during Friday chapel services is also charged to the members of the Student Vestry. This organization operates under a constitution and draws its membership from the top three forms of the schoolg four members each from the fifth and sixth forms, two members from the fourth form. There are four ofhcers, the Senior and Junior Wardens, Treasurer, and Secretary. The Chaplain, Mr. Cantler, acts as advisor to the group, which in turn acts as a council of advice to him. The members of the Student Vestry are all lay readers licensed in the Diocese of Maryland by the Bishop. They are installed at the Matriculation Service at Old St. Paul's Church every fall.
