The Student Council is the Self-Government organization of the Bancroft School. As a girl progresses in cooperation, loyalty, dependabil- ity, and leadership, she is given recognition by being granted higher privileges by the Student Council. The Council, which is composed of the Student Council President and the four class presidents and representatives, meets weekly to discuss moral and disciplinary problems, and to hear suggestions on the betterment of school life. This year emphasis was placed on smoking regulations, which were strictly enforced. Many weekly discussions were also devoted to the problem of honesty in school work, including homework and tests. Finally the Council out- E STU UE EU lined the desirable characteristics of the Ban- croft School girl. Courtesy, consideration, and honesty at all times were set up as goals to be achieved by every student. The Student Council has endeavored to en- able each student to develop a sense of re- sponsibility to herself and to the school. J. A.

Qlflf Perhaps you haven't heard of the wonderful new instru- ment, the product of the combined minds of Henry Ford and Albert Einstein. Last week I had the good fortune to fly down to Princeton with Mrs. Norwood and Miss Jones in their jet-propelled plane. While visiting Mr. Einstein's laboratory, I was allowed to inspect this Eye into the Future, as he calls it. Upon looking into the lens, the first scene which met my gaze was a section of the Amazon Jungle. A bit be- wildered, l stared again, and there was Betty Bousquet. She is conducting a health-renewing tour for American youths afflicted with asthma. Back in the United States we see Woody Goss warbling with Hildegarde in the Persian Room. She declares that she would rather sing, Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup , to him than to anyone else. More notoriety for the class of '47l Joan Averill and Bobby Gow are holding prominent positions an the editing staff of PIC magazine. They write the column called Our advice on Life and Love. I was startled tc see that Janet Ayres has given up her iob asfiolly old nursemaid of Dartmouth College, and has taken up the art of plumbing. She was quoted as saying, Worcester certainly is a cleanly city. The scene shifts to the First Unitarian Church steeple, where firemen are frantically rescuing Cairns and Clary from the spot where they were blown after an explosion in their bubble gum factory. The great eye moves to Stockholm, where Lois Kinnicutt, skating in the Olympics, was shocked when the ice broke and she fell through. When she was finally rescued, she wes embodied in a cake of ice and had to be chipped loose. 'l'm certainly a chip off the old block, declares Lois. We see Nancy and Cynie at Ellis lsland anxiously awaiting the arrival of their French fiances, the result of a romantic correspondence in the Eighth Grade. Bunny Fregans has been elected President of a Gym and Jumping-the-Buck Club. She declares it is very elevating. Peeking in on a very intelligent radio program, I see that Nina Chute has taken Lulu McConnell's place on lt Pays To Be lgnorant . 861,16 .!lfLlf0 Z0 .qgllfttlftfe Just now Graham Fernald is arguing a big court battle. He is arguing for the defense and the offense. At present he is tied with himself. It's nice to know that Jimmy Scott has made such a success as a bouncer in an uptown night club, while Richard opens the door. Jimmy Hicks, due to his love of the serious, has opened a funeral home in Worcester, but business is dead , says Jimmy. Over in India a terrible thing has occurred. Mahatma Ghandi tried to talk Stuart into o hunger strike, but Stuart consumed Ghandi instead. Jimmy Bowden, wealthy ship tycoon, has iust set up bail for Sally Gooch, who was put in iail for being too rough in a ladies' wrestling tournament at Madison Square Garden. Judy Crane and Martha Woods have iust duplicated Han- nibal's march over the Alps. They were reported as saying, Travel on elephants is broadening. Jack Harris, wealthy owner of the Boston Red Sox, de- clares his success is due to the production and selling of Ford V-8 cars. Miss Jones and Mrs. Norwood were enioying an Esquire calendar, when lo and behold they found Polly Priest's name as art director. - Flight from Than Franthithco coming in on Runway Thix. Ye gods! lt's Cornelia Duffy at La Guardia Field announcing the flights. Back in dear old Bancroft we see Carol Holmstrom in the audience as a plugger for the Eighth Grade Play. Now I look away from the giant machine as it folds up, wondering how true its prophecies will be. Take heed to what I saw, Class of '47, for it could come true. P SALLY GOOCH, T o 'LO-Q OJLU.: ts .

Every year the Blue Moon has been improved somewhat, but this year the evolution has reached a peak. The book is completely modernized, with increased size and added Ieatures. The Board has worked very hard selling candy and sandwiches to raise money, and appreciates the co- operation received. We feel sure you are as pleased with the book as we of the Board are. J. R.
