Siudeni' Council Hamden Hall has long endeavored to direct the education of its students not only toward academic achievements but also in the development of an awareness of the responsibilities which will rest upon their shoulders as the citizens of tomorrow. One successful means of encouraging such commendable attitude is the actual experience of performing duties in school life which correspond on a smaller scale to their future obligations as active citizens in the community. Faculty encouragement aroused in the student body a definite interest and zeal for a government which would enable everyone to have direct contact with the rea- sons as well as the regulations which are employed in Hamden Hall. An exceptionally well-managed student government has been established by the nominations and elections of the student body. Each class of the College Pre- paratory Department has two representatives, forming a council which is presided over by a chairman, a senior, chosen by the vote of the entire student body. The assumption of some branches of school management has relieved the many tasks of the faculty, and has afforded the council noteworthy opportunity for developing responsibility. It has established a common ground for student and instructor where both may become appreciatively acquainted with the problems of the other. Certainly the continuation and management of such democratic functions will produce the widely sought, thoughtful men and women who will someday be the important citizens of the well-managed community. l President: Frank Baclcos Vice-Preridenl: Carol Nutile Secretary: Reyna Schwartz Faculty Advitenz Mrs, Reginald Bogue Mr. Alfred Fauver Reprerentazivet Form VI - Fred Earle Form IV - Tom Roche Carol Nutile Evelyn Rademacher Form V - Walter Edelmuth Form III - Nancy Gartland Reyna Schwartz Donald Cheney s Form II -- Anthony Noto Form I - Rolf Margenau Thirty-lhree
