The co-operation of the students has made the system a success and the prefect committee, com¬ posed of Jim Cruickshank, John Dewhirst, and Margaret Sparling may well be proud of the accomplishments of both the prefects and the students. Approximately eighty-eight students served as prefects, four at a time, under the supervision of a senior prefect. Each Monday at noon-hour, a designated group met in the cafeteria corridor to receive instructions. They governed the cafeteria, lower corridor, upper corridor, and study room. The fine work they have done certainly deserves the recognition of the students.

THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1956 Page Twenty-Nine United Nati ons Report W. Mitchell Situated on the bank of the East River on Manhattan Island are four buildings of the utmost importance to the preservation of peace in the world; these structures com¬ pose the headquarters of the United Nations. As we ap¬ proached this impressive site, our eager group of seven ex¬ changed glances of anticipation, for we were now beginning to realize fully the wonderful opportunity that the Windsor and Riverside Boards of Education had given us. As I stood below ' a towering spire of glistening marble, the Secretariat, which was surrounded by its sister buildings, the Library, Conference, and General Assembly Halls. 1 could not help thinking that even a naive little Eskimo child would appreciate the majesty and grandeur of the scene; for like his homeland, this city within a city was almost completely white. Also, the location of this land of white was relatively serene, although situated within the heart of a metropolis. Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the business world, the United Nations Buildings gaze fondly down upon their spacious gardens of lush green foliage and then survey the miles of stone and cement out¬ side their limits. To enter the Conference Building, we first had to pass through Canada ' s gift to the U. N.—nickel plated doors, simply decorated with four figures symbolizing peace, jus¬ tice. truth, and brotherhood. As we stepped into the public lounge, our eyes were at once arrested by four tiers of flying balconies which sweep across the width of the edifice. This room is filled with sunlight and is completely uncluttered. The first room we visited was one set aside for the religious aspect of the United Nations. This tiny Meditation Room, as it is called, is very simply designed. As there are many religious beliefs among the various member nations, the room could not contain any symbol related to only one religion; thus, a large green fern and a flag of the United Nations are the only two significant objects within the soft grey walls. Important men such as Anthony Eden and Georgi Malenkov have spent a few reflective moments in the Meditation Room before delivering a speech to the General Assembly. The U. N. is organized on three levels—six appointed committees, which are given a certain number of items on the agenda to deal with, elected councils, which concern themselves with the aims and services of the United Nations all over the world, and the General Assembly, in which all member nations vote on each bill. Since we were privileged to attend a commitee meeting of the Ad Hoc Political Com¬ mittee, a council meeting of the Trusteeship Council, and the tenth anniversary session of the General Assembly, we received a complete picture of the workings of the U. N. In this respect, we are greatly indebted to the Honourable Paul Martin, who strove to make our visit as informative and pleasant as possible, even treating us to dinner in the exclusive Delegates’ Dining Room. The Conference Rooms are literally stages. By means of television, radio, movies, the press, and personal visits, the public can view the activities of the representatives. The delegates ' desks are arranged semi-circularly in several rows around the chairman’s platform. At every meeting, the delegates rotate one seat. For the convenience of their audience and other members, each delegation can be identi- fid by a plaque, bearing the name of his country, resting at the head of the desk. The galleries of the press and public flank the representatives at one end of the spacious Con¬ ference Rooms. In order to keep the visitor informed o( the conference happenings, each chair is equipped with a set of earphones and a dial, which he may switch from the voice of the speaker to an accurate translation in English, French, Russian. Spanish, or Chinese. Whenever debate became in¬ volved with technicalities, we amused ourselves by switch¬ ing from one language to another. This could be done with¬ out any interference to anyone. At these meetings, the delegates discussed such topics as Enfranchising the Na¬ tives of the Union of South Africa,” “the Korean Recon¬ struction Programme. and a Report on War Refugees. Highlighting our tour was our visit to the General As¬ sembly where the delegations gather either to pass or to veto all bills. The circular dome of the ceiling hovers over the representatives themselves, who are surrounded by special guests to the left and right, the secretary general ' s rostrum at the front, and the public galleries to the rear. The meeting flowed along smoothly without any interrup¬ tion or lengthy debates. How impressed we were with the smooth organization of this, the main body of the United Nations. As we turned to leave this site, our expressions were pensive and our thoughts profound, for before us lay the foundations of a world government, truly a blueprint for peace”. I know the whole group greatly benefited from this experience.
