STUDENT COUNCIL SENIOR STUDENT COUNCILLORS ELIZABETH McGILLYCUDDY President of the Student Council PETRICE HYLAND GENE KELLEY NICKY GRANWEHR GLORIA IANACONE CHERYL O'TOOLE The Student Council is a student organization which speaks for each member of the school. It is responsible for coordinat- ing all other student activities and for the development of a strong bond between students and faculty members and among students themselves. Student Councillors strive to develop school spirit and to strengthen school morale. The Student Council encourages students to become active, interested citizens of the school, and therefore of our country. To realize these goals the Student Council has sponsored sev- eral activities including a Hallowe'en Party and a Get to Know Your Neighbor Week, both aimed at making friends of strangers and acquaintances. Other projects have included Personality of the Month, General Assemblies, Movies and Class Plays. Through the Student Council suggestions are made to the Administration and Faculty and through its Student Court penalties are imposed for minor infractions of rules. Student Councillors are selected by their classmates as repre- sentative of the ideals of the Mount and therefore these are the leaders who determine the spirit of the Mount and who form and maintain its traditions. Sister Maria Assumpta, Senior Class Adviser and Guidance Councillor at the Mount, is the Faculty Moderator of the Student Council. Elizabeth McGillycuddy '66 86

CHASTELLUX Much of the preparatory work for this book was done during the sum- mer months, and what has been done between September and the final deadline in February has not been done at the expense of stud- ies. Work on the Yearbook was intensive and time which would otherwise have been wasted was put to good account. Members of the Yearbook Staff learned to budget their time and to apply this new knowledge. In this decade there has been a growing tendency, especially in Catholic High Schools, to look upon Yearbooks as too expensive, too time-consuming, and of too little value. We cannot speak for all High Schools—or even for a majority of them—but speaking for our own, we feel that for something as worthwhile and meaningful as the Yearbook it is not too expensive, the time spent is well-spent, and the value of the Yearbook defies calculation. The financial burden of the Yearbook falls principally upon the Seniors—and their parents—and since it is the Senior Year- book they should be the ones to bear the burden. However, their financial contribution is so relatively small that it is equivalent to the cost of three cokes a week for about ten months. I IN DEFENSE OF YEARBOOKS
