Early in the first semester the council inaugurated a new sys- tem of patroling tne halls and cloak rooms during the school periods. Brenton Simmons was appointed chairman of the Patrol Squad and with the assistance of both teachers and pupils the system has work- ed effectively in preventing thefts in the cloak rooms and keeping order in the halls We have had very little trouble with violations of our new rules and feel quite proud of their success. The General Organization presented letters to the varsity football basketball and track men this year and in addition, a letter symbol was given to the members of teams who did not make the varsity teams Miss Loomis and the classes of the Home Economics Department gave their services in making these symbols. Mr. lvlinor also offered his services in cutting the felt for the symbols, for which we are grateful Although we have had many activity period assemblies this year for the purpose of explaining our new patrol system and seek- ing the help of the school on many matters, our only regular assembly took place early in the year. At this time the new officers and councilmen were installed and introduced to the pupils. Mr. l-luff presented the gavel to Robert Cehring, the new President, who spoke briefly Miss C-ehring presented the constitution of the G. O. to the Vice President Lois Carr who also spoke. lvlr. Randall delivered the important talk of the assembly, speaking upon the need of student cooperation in running a successful school. This was the second as- sembly of the inauguration type which originated last year. son tickets successfully again this year. This method enables the students to see all the games at much reduced rates. With Carm Falcone as chairman of the Smoking Council, we have had very little trouble this year. The council has operated especially smoothly and may well be commended for its fine work. lmpresslng the students with the necessity of attention to this prob- lem is no easy task but they have accomplished it quietly and well. Another committee which has done a large amount of work, devoid of praise or recognition, is the Point System Committee. They keep track of the points which every student earns by extra cirricu- lar activities and totals them at the end of the year in order to dis- cover the Seniors who are deserving of activity awards. Donald Rankin has been the chairman of this committee and has done his work well With the fine cooperation of all the committees, the pupils and the faculty the council has had a fine administration, We sincerely wish that the future G. O. s may have as able a presi- dent as ours and many successful years. .C. -The G. O. carried out the plan of basketball and football sea- L '34 ,fl The 1934 BATAVIAN
