This year a group con- sisting of seven boys, including the Head and Senior Monitors, had the ticklish job of handling all reported violations of the Honor Code. It is the duty of the Committee and its faculty advisors to hear each case individually, talk with those concemed, and reach a decision which is reported to the Headmaster for his action. Since the Honor Committee may recommend expulsion, it is necessary that each case be handled in a most mature and intelligent fashion, something that has always been a marked characteristic of the Honor Committee. Seated: Thompson. Standing: Flippin, Bass. Nisbet, enior oniford Each summer when the monitors for the coming session are notified of their appoint- ments, they are asked to nominate one choice for Head Monitor and four for Senior Monitors. Out of this intra-monitorial election emerge the Senior Monitors, or S.M.'s for the next year. To these boys is handed the job of acting as a kind of executive board for the monitors them- selves, and serving as intermediaries between the faculty and student body. The supervision of the rat system is in their hands also, and any new boy whose attitude needs correction is brought before this group for the purpose of trying to make him understand and follow the aims of the school. These jobs of ceaseless attention and time-consuming conferences this year have been carried out with a fine touch of maturity and forethought by john Thompson and his assistants.

Simpson, Stronach. onifom Each year about thirty boys are appointed to serve as monitors. This is generally conceded to be the highest honor a boy can receive at E.H.S. In carrying out the duties of this posi- tion, a monitor encounters many difficult situa- tions when friendship and obligation meet at cross purposes. It is noteworthy that the moni- tors ot woo-09 have succeeded in administering all their tasks without antagonizing anyone ex- cept the most persistent trouble-makers. In all the phases of their influence-supervising study halls, keeping dorm, and upholding all the ideals for which the High School stands, they have served as fine examples for the younger boys and have reflected much credit on the school as a whole. It is hoped that in each succeeding year the leaders of the school will be as clear- sighted, as unprejudiced, and as faithful as this year's group has been. en ior , cal 0 Seated: Robinson fsecretary-treasurer and valedictorianl, I.
