Swan olonial ouncil Among the accomplishments of the WVL1 Council, with Lord High Hugh Herrick presiding, was the introduction of a new school Constitution, which had been written several terms before.

During the S741 semester, ,lim Hardy led the Council in revising the By Laws and the Code of Requirements for the new Constitution. The completion of this task meant another forward step in the improvement of Colonial government.

Court To the Boys' Assize Court goes the task of conducting various campaigns in an effort to keep up the fine outward appearance and the fine inner spirit which have always been a part of Fairfax. The main purpose of the court, how- ever, is to uphold law and order by practising the self-government of the Colonials. Offenders are fairly tried before a jury composed of their fellow students whom they themselves have elect- ed. Members are popularly elected, a certain number being chosen from each grade. so that the entire student body is represented. The court is a worthy organization, particu- larly in that it presents the opportunity for stu- dents to do the work which makes their school something to be proud of. This term the Boys' and Girls' Courts worked together more than ever, trying their cases as one court, rather than as two separate organizations. Acting as an able advisor to the presidents of the past year, Bill Burrill and Kuni Yamamoto, was the faculty sponsor, Mr. Roger Williams. S'41 BOYS' ASSIZE COURT Back Row: J. Call, C. Hoytt, B.
