STUDENT GCDVERNMENT This year, for a change, the Yearbook has decided to let someone who knows about the Student Council write about it. The editors felt it should have a personal touch, and, in a radical departure from tradition, have asked me to sign the article. This has not been a year of sensational proposals, nor has it been a year of bitter controversy. The Council has maintained and promoted peaceful rela- tionships with everybody, with the possible excep- tion of the Fieldston News. Well, you may ask, just what has the Student Council done this year? When the Class of '57 took over the reins of Student Government, we were immediately faced with an emergency. The Rec Room was closed, and the Student Body was starving! To re-open the Rec Room, the Council entered into a successful pub- licity campaign, and the responsibility for keeping the Rec. Room clean was placed with the students themselves. lt worked, and stomachs stopped grum- bling. The big job for the Council this year was putting the By-Laws in workable form. This marked the end of a project that began in 1954-. For the past three years, the Council has been working under rules that depended on the memories of the execu- tive oflicers. These laws were ambiguous and often disregarded. In order for the Council to function efficiently, it must have a firm foundation. This year's Council established that foundation. Every law that has been written in the past few years was incorporated into the By-Laws and presented to - i I eva- ,W fm ti T 2 as . .rw Q f , W' li is ,fl f ss. X, X: the Council in printed form. The Council then acted on these Laws with a surprisingly small amount of quibbling. As a result, the Class of ,ST is proud to give the Class of 758 a working Constitution. This year also saw the rejuvenation of the Com- mittee and Club system. Under the expert direction of Committee Co-ordinator Steve Kass and Club Co-ordinator Bob Kimball, most of the Committees and Clubs functioned at maximum efhciency. One of the Councilis first acts was to give the clubs more meeting time. As a result. the woeful attendance at many Clubs increased, and in some cases almost doubled. The one tragedy in the Club and Com- mittee system was the long suffering House Com- mittee. which was disbanded. The Council decided that House Committee's functions should be made a part of the Work Program, thus ending that Com- mitteeis long struggle to stay alive. The Community Service held another successful and profitable Sacrifice Meal for T'NlCEF. ln short, thc Student Council carried out its basic function, to coordinate and strengthen all the branches of the Student Government. rw. .JL A ' wa

Or ls It? Actually, one needs both in the process of compiling a literary publication at the Fieldston School. In addition to these fundamental tools of communication, the Editors and Staffs of the current chronicles in circulation must also be equipped with a mechanical smile, a bottle of Miltown, and a big stick. As you know, the Fieldston News Editorship was predominantly male in Walter Daum and Alan Berger. ln spite of their inherent virility and strength of character, the burden and strain of their respective positions have left their mark. Poor Walter is greying, and Alan has gambled away his salary in card- games on the Washington trip and at the race-track. He has also been perman- ently dwarfed by the blows he received from our own President l Queen Alioevl Kinzler. We now refer our more complacent readers to the present state of the Editor of the Lit. Mag. This years New Inklingsv was conceived in the sweat and blood of an unknown-Dick Brown. Finally, may we call your attention to the condition of your very own year- book editors: As the pictures on page sixty indicate, the diligent sextet has reverted to senility.
