I i, , 5 Q - F. if THE STUDENT COUNCIL This year was a year not many will forget, for it was year of changes in school life. The Student Council, as a unit, reflected these changes. To be sure, this council, like the many before it, performed the or- dinary dutiesg It handled student contributions to charities, sent get- well cards and flowers, and dispatched sympathetic and congratulatory correspondence. Council members also officiated at class meetings and daily assemblies 5 yet, even here, there was a change, for President John Reed found it necessary to use a microphone in order to reach the one hundred and eighty sixth student at the rear of the dining hall. The Student Council of 1960 will be most remembered, however, for its reversals of previously customary form. Council President John Reed, Hery, dramatic, and articulate, joined with calm, tireless, diplo- matic Pete Clark, the vice-president, to provide the Council with the diversified leadership needed to get things done. They were aided by their advisor, Mr. Thomas Wertenbaker, who sometimes told them not only what they might or might not do, but also how to do it. Above all others, 1960's Student Council had two major achieve- ments to its credit. First, the Student Council was able to reverse a dangerous trend of carelessness, malicious mischief, and downright vandalism most prevalent in the gameroom and its environs, but evident elsewhere. The Paddy', committee, manned by President Reed, did much in this regard. In addition, considerable work was done by the Game Room Committee, under the chairmanship of Peter Clark and advised by Mr. Donaldson, to make conditions in the basement more conducive to legitimate recreation. The second major accomplishment of the Student Council of 1960 was the development and presentation to the Student Body a plan for an Honor System at the Hun School. The Council was able to simplify the problems encountered in 1959, when the idea of such a plan was first advanced. This year's Student Council has benented both the school and the institution of student government. We sincerely hope it has set a good example and a precedent for Student Councils in the future.

Under the versatile and talented leadership of Mr. Kelsall Knot to mention the assistance of the Mrs.j, Glee Club members enjoyed their best year, with many concert tours, recitals, and related social activities. Par- ents, listeners, and members themselves agreed that this was the year a dramatic improvement took place. Mr. Kelsall also contributed his services and talent to the instruction of the Octet, which actually consisted of about a dozen of the better members. With so successful a year behind, the glee club looks forward to still greater suc- cess ahead.
