THE JABBERWOCK For Hfty years now, the JABBERWOCK has been the only school magazine of the Girls' Latin School. This year, as in the past, the success of the maga- zine has been due to the cooperation of the Jabberwock staff and the faculty manuscript committee, and to the support of the students both in subscribing and in supplying material for publication. The staff this year was an especially busy one. The associate editors, Helaine Kaplan. Virginia Hill, Cecile Favreau, and Mabel Bouldry, all did their part in furnishing manuscripts and in correcting copy. The Domi column, Mary Loughlin's specialty, Cthough she was a regular contributor of poems and storiesl was alive with school humor which she untiringly dug up from class room histories. Mary's column was supplemented by a Sports page by Louise Sullivan, '38, who certainly is fitted to write up the goings-on in the gymnasium. Jean Upham, the Exchange editor, must have spent most of her time poring over the magazines which the postman brought us from many schools all over the United States: but on those days when the blackboards car- ried the significant announcement, 'llabs today, 12: IO, she diligently wrapped Jabberwocks to send to all those schools from which we had received magazines or papers. Hardly a single newspaper article concerning a Girls' Latin School graduate escaped the notice of our Alumnae Column editors. headed by Lydia Jonuska. The financial end of the Jabberwock was handled by Louise Muldoon. under the supervision of Mr. Williams. who was unceasing in his efforts to increase the subscriptions, The work of the business committee. of which Shirley Cohen, Mary Miller, and Beatrice Margolis were members, was some- what rewarded by the announcement of 100 per cent. subscription in two senior rooms.

At the begin- ning of the year a lively march or a group of patriotic songs for Armistice Day could be heard: but, as the months of December and January rolled in, the ear caught bits of gay and lilting Spanish music. The orchestra was earnestly prac- tising the score of Riding Down the Sky by Geoffrey O'Hara. Never will the music clubs forget the memorable performance of this operetta on January 29, at the Public Latin School. As spring came on, stately marches and noble strains found their way to the groups of eager listeners crowded about the doors of the hall: the time was being devoted to the preparation of musical programs for Class Day and Graduation. So the activities of the orchestra for 1936- 1937 came to a happy, successful close, fPage Sixty-sevenl

THE STUDENT-TEACHER ADVISORY COUNCIL The Student-Teacher Advisory Council was founded in the fall of 1923 to promote the best interests of the school and voice the opinions of the pupils. Section A consists of the presidents of the two upper classes, the editor and the business manager -of the Jabberwock, the president and the treasurer of the Athenian Club, the editor of the Year Book, and representatives of the I, II, III, and IV A classes. Section B is made up of members of the teaching staff. A new section, the Junior Council, was organized this year, and includes girls from Classes IVB, V, and VI. The Council concentrated some of its efforts on the entering freshmen this year, and gave a party in their honor in October, so that they might become bet- ter acquainted with one another and with the school. Also, at the suggestion of the council, an adviser, Miss Cilennon, was appointed by Mr. Hapgood to assist in unifying the entire freshman class. The sophomores came in for their share of attention when a party was held for them in April. The regular duties of the council-patrolling the corridors, assisting in the lunch room, directing the fire drill, have not been neglected. The modernization of the school hall is a project which this council does not expect to see even begun, but hopes that future cou-ncils will carry on until new chairs and curtains, and an enlarged stage are a reality.
