There are two girls representing the Collegians, four girls from the Senior Class, two Iuniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman. loan Halliwell presides over the meetings, assisted by loan Wallace as Vice-President, and lane Thompson as Secretary. This year the Student Council has inaugurated a new penalty system, one which is very effective and beneficial to the Whole student body. lnstead of getting the usual fifteen and twenty minutes off a girl's down town time, she is given eight points as a limit, if she exceeds these eight points, she is campused all day Saturday, but may go to the movies at night. If the points exceed fifteen, she is campused for one week, thirty-two points, two Weeks, and so on. The Council has tried to improve our chapel services and every Wednesday a Council member conducts Chapel. The Student Council of '47 has surely contrived and has succeeded in making Burnham a better place in which to live. 52
