This election differed from last year's in that instead of electing two repre- sentatives from each house, one boy was elected to represent each of the various houses and two were to represent the school at large. These elections took place early in the fall term when all the boyshadtmcome thoroughly acquainted, and in IFeb- ruary just after Christmas vacation.' The election winners in the fall were David Ellis, Hunt House, Dick Handel, Hawthorne Houseg -Gharlie Baker, the Cottage, and John Reed, Emerson House. The boys representing the school at large were Tom Thomas and Lorry 'Wooldrodge. Uinners in February were Tom Thomas, Hunt Houscg Ralph Mulcahy, Hawthorne House, Earl Florence, the Cottage, and John Reed, Emerson House. Elton Cosse and Charlie Baker were Hat largeu. The work of the Council was to create a closer unity between the boys and the faculty. To reach this objective Weekly . , meetings with a faculty advisor mere held. This practice was con- tinued throughout the year with success.

M-w+-W-W---WW THE SIGN +-H+--+-+-W-++-+H+'+--+-K l1NflPKOVf'1MEN'fS The major improvement at school this mar has been the addition of the ell to the Cottage. This new addition provides accommodations for four boys, and is made up of two bedrooms and a large common study, all finished attractively in natural wood panelling. Of Colonial design, and in keeping with the rest of the school buildings, the new addit- ion was planned by the school architect. One of the most interesting features of the new build- ing is the large percentage of the construction which was done by the boys. As a work project in connection with the Ranger program the addit- ion has provided much valuable practice in the development of manual skills. All the boys in school have at one time or another aided in re- moving over one hundred tons of fill from the cellar hole, and have set more than six hundred blocks in the foundation. f' XX - i 7 4 xx j ..

In the first part of the year the boyse' st to-' -i,t,V ifthinking that they would use tie cel jQQQQ2jeJ,ifUfiPm8TY ,yib as a dark-room. The weather'd9Hf?tion?idade it impos- sible for this, so nothing much was accomplished. The officers of the clue were Dick Smith,Presidenq Joe Kerr, Secretary, and the-follow, g boys were members: Frederick Smith, Charles'Le-M han, Warren Abbott, John Chandler, Gregory Stewart, Marshall Wellington, and John Sargeant. Although the club was unable to have any exhibitione, they did take some of the pictures for the Sign. Hr. Wildes was their faculty advisor. WAITERS' CLUB At the end of the fall tern due to the shortage of help, Mr. Turner started the waiter's club. The original five members were Joe Kerr, Earl Florence, David Ellis, Dick Taylor, and Sandy Draper. After a few weeks Kerr, Taylor, and Draper stopped. Tom Thomas and Lorry Wooldredge took their places. Charlie Lcnnihan and John Alden were auxiliaries. The whole crew was doing so well that the faculty decided to give all the waiters a dinner at the Exeter Inn every two wrks. On April fourteenth the members gave up their din- ner and bought war stamps mith.the money. We feel that we owe a lot to the waiter: because they kept us well supplied with food throughout thevdnter and spring terms.
