Legislative Report This year the Council or legislative division of the student body was headed by joan Southwick the first semester. Representing the classes were Stevie Scheiffler, senior, Virginia King, junior, Joan Hopper, sophomore, Eleanor Grimm, freshman, Marion Pelly, eighth gradeg and Diana Yates, Seventh grade. This Council spent most of its time discussing ways in which to improve the school and then carrying them out, while the second council brought up amend- ments to the constitution, the most noteworthy of which is mentioned in the Court report. Sana Harrah was president of the second Council with the following girls as members-Betty Osborne, senior, Elizabeth Haynes, junior, Mae-Jeanne Peterson, sophomoreg june Shefelman and jan Royce, freshmen, Anne Rolfe, eighth gradeg and Halcyon Bassett, seventh grade. A duty of the Council not previously mentioned, is that of appointing niembers for the eight committees by which the students participate in school a fairs. The Library Committee, one of the most popular, is to create an interest in the library and acquaint the students and teachers with the new books and the material found therein. lt also keeps track of library debts and shows the girls how to check books in and out. The Social Service Committee plans and directs the welfare activities of the school, such as parties for the Children's Home. All school wartime activities are discussed and organized in this committee, too. The Property Committee serves as a place to establish standards of good taste, appearance, and neatness, These standards are formulated and enforced by the members of this committee. The lost and found was under their juris- diction also. This latter occupation netted quite a sizable fund for the Annual! The Publication Committee, chiefly interested in publishing The Rambler, records the pulse of school life, and this year has met with great success under Editors jackie Wanamaker and Sally Ayres. A more detailed description of this committee will be found under the Department of Publications. Interest in the fields of dance, drama, art, and music is handled by the Fine Arts Committee, which also strives to keep the work of a well-known regional artist on exhibit for all to enjoy. This year the committee members can claim additional fame, for they induced the classes to become members of the Seattle Art Museum. The Social Committee sponsors all the social activities of the school and sets an example of friendship and hospitality. This committee also has charge of the seating in the dining room. The Sports Committee is in charge of all sports offered in the intramural program and all athletic equipment. During the past year, under the chairman- ship of Susie Black, it became one of the most popular committees. The last of the committees, the Assembly, is responsible for bringing inter- esting and outstanding visitors to address the student body, They also try to arrange assemblies which display achievements of the students in the class rooms as well as in extra-curricular activities. Through these committees students take on responsibilities that contribute toward making student government run smoothly at all times. ll' o. Silver' ...64-
