Calloway, S Bowers, D Cove IIIIIIIIIIIIIIEI Dlllllllilh TUDENT government has been practiced in colleges and universities for many years, but its usage in schools of nursing has been com- paratively recent. The judiciary council, which is one branch of stu- dent government, was inaugurated in our school in l935. and since has definitely proved that its existence tends to promote a more satisfactory home life for the students. The committee is composed of a chairman appointed by the student council and one elected representative from each of the three classes. ln this manner there is equal representation among the student groups. Conditions which arise concerning student government are dis- cussed when the group has its weekly meeting on student problems. The organization is given power to suggest penalties for infringements of house rules when it becomes necessary. lt is not the purpose of the committee to be a penalizing body, but rather to circumvent the need for penalties through an under- standing of the motives and circumstances behind rule infringements. The authority of this body in no way supplants that of the official power of the heads of the school, but it is rather intended to cooper- ate with them by presenting student viewpoints of student problems. This body is also intended to give the acting council a broader understanding of parliamentary law and the ability to use unbiased and unprejudiced judgement in regard to student discipline. -41--

Deadman STIIIIEITI' llSSllDIII'I'Illll HE students of the Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing and Hygiene comprise the Student Association-membership being automatic upon entrance into the school, The Association meets on the first Monday of each month to discuss and vote upon contempor- ary issues concerning school projects and house rules. Reports from the various organizations, such as Clee Club, Dramatic Society, Sonah Staff and Athletic Association are given in order to acquaint the en- tire student body with the activities of these groups. The officers are elected each year by the members of the Association. The student council is the executive board for the Association. lt is the duty of this Council to meet regularly each month prior to the Student Association meeting. At this time nominations for offices are made and topics for discussion are selected. The organization also sponsors many enterprises during the year, being routinely responsible for the Thursday tea in the Nurses' Home lounge, the Friday Open House, and the distribution of baskets of food and clothes at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year the Association gave a picnic at Belle Isle for the new students. Thus, as a governing body, the Association acts not only as a medium between the student body and the faculty, but also as an in- centive for the development of recreational and social activities within the school, -40-

The book serves to per petuate an accurate record of the students' lite and activities, repre senting both scholastic and professional growth. It is the tradition given to every student to endeavor to promote the ideals and standards upon which the Henry Ford School ot Nurs ing and Hygiene was founded. Such has been our aim, and for this we have labored long and with increasing diligence. To the student the Sonah embodies memories of events both per sonal and fraternal that will forever be cherished in our hearts. To the graduate, the Sonah awakens memories of endeavors in former years and serves as another medium whereby they are still united with us. The yearbook is financed by returns from projects sponsored by the students of the school. Each organization and class have contributed its part. To the reader, we present the Sonah-annual publication ot l937.
