During the year they initiated many unusual but enjoyable activities: Courtesy Week, Safety Week, open student council meetings, an exchange assem- bly with Saint Leois, Career Day, Citizenship Assembly, and Publicity Club. These are only a few of the outstanding contributions which these devoted girls made, with the hope that their school might be a little better. Under the competent leadership and unity of student council members, Aquinians grew wiser and stronger, and many hearts were filled with a greater appreciation of the high ideals of our school.
