14 THE KEN COLL 194 4 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIllllHIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillllllllllllllllilllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllMllllllliaillllllllllllllllltlllllllllltllllllllll THE KENNEDY COLLEGIATE FORUM Profiting by tlie experience gained in several years of experiment with a Students Council, we have modified our constitution and methods of procedure until now we have an organization which is functioning most satis- tactorily. Its scope is wider than that of many other Student Councils. Many schools retain their Hoys Ath¬ letic Society, Girls’ Athletic Society, etc., ami regard the student council as an additional organization. In our conception of student government the Foruiu Cabinet, as it is called, is supreme and all other societies, clubs, and students groups are subsidiaries of it. The arrangement is, perhaps, analogous to that of the Pro¬ vincial Government. The different societies correspond to the various Departments ami the presidents of the societies and dubs ami chairmen of committees corres¬ pond to the Ministers of the Departments. Under our system of voting, we elect the members at large without reference to any particular office. It is left to the caucus of elected members to decide who shall hold the executive offices, including chairmanship of the various committees. Six representatives are elected from the upper school, six from the fourth year, four from the third year, four from the second year, ami four from the first year. In this arrangement we make provision for equal representation of boys anti girls. To these representatives are added the Presidents of clubs or societies which have applied to the Forum Cabinet for recognition and have received its endorsement. The fol¬ lowing committees are formed with a chairman for each — Finance, Hoys Athletics, Girls’ Athletics. Prefects, Social Activities, Literary Activities, ami Altiora Peto (our school motto. This committee deals with school loyalty, school spirit, sportsmanship, etc.) A member of the stall ' , by choice of the committee or. failing this, by selection of the principal, is appointed to each com¬ mittee to act in an advisory capacity. This staff member attends the meetings of the committee hut not the meet¬ ings of the Cabinet. One staff member attends the Cabinet meetings in an advisory capacity only and does not speak unless the President requests him for informa¬ tion of the rules or general policy of the school. Each student on payment of the twenty-five-cent fee becomes a member of The Forum. As the Forum Cabinet has general jurisdiction over all student activities, this one membership fee entitles the member to voting pri¬ vileges and to membership in any society or club he may desire to join. No one can participate in a school ac¬ tivity or receive school colours, athletic pins, or other awards unless he holds a membership eard. The mem¬ bership card is, therefore, a mark, not of his interest in athletics alone or in the Literary Society alone, hut ol his loyalty to the student body as a whole. ' Phis cement¬ ing ot all varied interests in one organization ami the resulting solidarity ot the Forum as representative of the whole student body is, l believe, one of the greatest advantages of our system. In addition to the privileges enumerated above, we have found by experience that it has been financially profitable for us to offer certain concrete advantages to those possessing the membership cards. We oft ' yr free admission to one football game, one basketball game, and one After-Four Dance. Phis enables us to secure as members many, especially in the lower forms, to whom the more lofty ideals of school loyalty and school spirit have, at the beginning of their school careers, little appeal. Its general acceptance by {Undents is shown by the high percentage of membership—99.8% during the present year. Prefects have full charge of the discipline of the halls, cafeteria, library, and gymnasia each day during the noon hour. These act under the head prefects who arc members of the Foruni Cabinet. This system has been very satisfactory and only on one or two occasions in the past several years has the principal found it necessary to come to their assistance. When appointed they are assured that the honour has been conferred upon them by reason of their previous records, and that the school has every confidence in their ability to inculcate in the junior students the proper ideals of conduct in the school during these hours. In cases where students refuse to a.cept the admonition or advice of the prefects, the of¬ fenders are summoned before a prefects court with the I cad prefect as presiding officer. Since many of the j relccts are those in whom the student body has shown its confidence hv election to the Foruni Cabinet their authority is acknowledged and respected with practically no exception. At the end of the year, in an assembly of the whole school, the members of the cabinet render an account¬ ing of their stewardship to the electorate. Cups and trophies won arc prominently displayed on the platform ami the school is reminded that these successes are made possible only by the co-operation of the Forum. The president conducts the meeting and each chairman is called upon to explain the most important activities carried on by his or her committee. This meeting is not only an account of stewardship but it is excellent propa- (Continued on Page 17) S Virtoria GnUpgr in the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO Founded by Royal Charter in 1836 “for the general education of youth in the various branches of Literature and Science on Christian Principles As one of the Federated College in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Toronto, Victoria College enrolls students in all courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce and preparatory to admission to the schools of Graduate Studies, Divinity, Education, Law and Medicine.
