THE.RED.AND.-WHITE STUDENT ADMINISTRATION ARLY in the history of Lowell there was no such institution as the Board of Directors: there was nothing that administered to the needs of the student body. Every sport and every activity was arrayed under its own banner. The first student administrative council was an athletics-governing body. When its worth was seen in the management of athletics matters, its powers were ex- tended: it then had jurisdiction over all other organizations. The name was first Executive Committee, but was later changed to Board of Directors. Such a body is essential in the administration of a modern high school: an executive board must be provided for. in which the elected heads of the student association and the faculty representatives may meet, discuss, and act upon school problems. Lowell has met this necessity with an organization of which the worth and ability have been often demonstrated. Not only is there the Board of Directors to act upon school questions, but there are also the Boys' Council and Girls' Council, more recently established bodies, to work upon the minor prob- lems which more especially involve the separate classes. Last term the board consisted of the president, vice-president, secretary, and first assistant treasurer of the Student Body Association-Stephen Garin, Lucile Hansen, Hamilton Hedge, and Sheldon Potter, respectively: the presidents and vice-presidents of the upper classes: Lee Pope and Betty Clarke, high seniors: Richard Curtis and Dorothy Dineley, low seniors: William Ball and Margery Blank, high juniors: and George Rader and Betsy Harrigan, low juniors: the yell leader, Alfred Wheeler: the presidents of the Scroll and L and Shield and L. Thomas Schulte and Sara Alpert, respectively: the manager of girls' sports. Roberta Keily: the manager of publications, George Chadwick: and the girls' yell leader, Betty Cullen. There were also five faculty members-Mr. Clark, Miss Lacoste, Mr. Stephens, Mr. Tucker, auditor, and Mr. Morton, treasurer. Thus there is gathered into this board representative members of the school. The duties of each member are clearly defined. The president of the student body is, of course, the student administrative head of the school. He presides at rallies and other gatherings: he is chairman of the Board of Directors. The vice-presi- dent acts somewhat in the capacity of leader of the girls: she assists the president 11
