N -s-1 at f Q , ' .f K- I :l If cl ' I To . A lln- . Ami- -4 H. - - Student Council The Student Council is made up of two members elected from each class in the high school to serve for one year. They meet once a week without a faculty member and once a week with the Directress. The Council brings up the problems of the students and takes them to the faculty and tries to smooth them out. lt encourages students to come before the Council and discuss problems either individual or collective. The Council has arranged for two members of the Student Body to take charge of tables in the dining room in place of faculty members. This is one example of work done by the Council. In May, 1941, the Student Council of Cherry Lawn called a meeting of the Councils of Daycroft and Edgewood. At this meeting it was decided to form a League to promote inter-scholastic activities. The League scheduled its next meeting for September, 1941, to decide what activities to undertake. The League met in October and made arrangements to have eight stu- dents from each school visit the other schools on a given day, selected by the school.' The representatives to the League returned to their respective schools and discussed the proposed exchanges. At the second meeting of the year at Daycroft on lanuary 9th, the League decided to exchange two students from each school. The exchanges were: A senior and a junior representative from Daycroft visited Edgewood on Wednesday, Ianuary 14th Representatives from Edgewood visited Daycroft on Thursday, Ianuary 15th. A freshman and sophomore visited Cherry Lawn on Thursday, lanuary 20th. Cherry Lawn has not yet been able to send representatives to Daycroft. The Daycroft representatives gave reports to the Student Government on their visits to Cherry Lawn and Edgewood. There will be more activities scheduled by the League at its next meeting. A Senior Party is scheduled at Edgewood on February 28th. The work of the League has brought the three schools much closer and has encouraged the students to join together more often in social events. 23
