4 THE TRIDENT 23. mil EDI TORIA L 5 We hope that this number of the Trident will meet with the approval of our supporters, advertisers and purchasers. How near to, or how far below, our aim, we have fallen is left for you to decide. We only ask that you be generous. We are sure that you will admit we have the right spirit-we have tried. The Editor. Awake! Awake! Undergraduates! Have you ever considered having a student council in Brewer High School? The Class of '36 has seriously contemplated it at times, but evidentally lacked the intuition to perpetrate such an undertaking. Are you, too, going to overlook the opportunity to improve your school and your own interests? Other schools of Brewer's calibre have student councils, so why shouldn't we? Perhaps a word concerning the organization and functions of a council would help to arouse more interest. At the beginning of each school year, part of the student body consisting principally of class officers, athletic managers, and one or two repre- sentatives from each home room, organizes into a student council with its officers, by-laws, and other codes of authority. Usually there is a faculty ad- viser, and, usually, too, the principal of the school, while he has no active part in the proceedings of the council meetings, has the power of vetoing any law or resolution made by the students. As to the duties of the council, they may be few and limited, or, many and of great scope, depending upon the cooperation of council and principal. As suggestions, the council could: regulate and relieve congested traffic in the corridorsg grant charters to the various school oian- izations and clubs, make rules governing students' conduct on school property, establish a uniform set of study hall rules, to try and to punish the violators of all rules of discipline, act as a mediator between principal and students if an occasion of dispute should arise, and, most important of all, try to stop the petty thieving which still continues, despite all attempts to curb it. Why can't WE have a student council-a repre- sentative government? Our forefathers fought for the right to govern themselves and eventually they succeeded. Soon, when we are catapulted into the world, we will be expected to carry on the manage- ment of our communities and nation. Why can't we have preparation now for our great assignment? Why can't we commence now to study the funda- mentals of democracy by having a representative government in our schools? We-the class of 1936- can't now, it's too late, but you--the undergraduates of Brewer High-can, if you will. The Editor.
