The Student Council, the student governing body, includes twelve seniors, eleven juniors, ten sophomores, and eight freshmen, who are elected each year. Throughout the year delegates were sent to the board meetings of the Housatonic Valley League of Student Councils. At the first meeting Joyce Hazard was elected secretary-treasurer of this league. The General Assembly was held at Lyman Hall in March. A dance open to all students of the member schools followed in the evening. During the year the council worked on the revision of the point system and considered the advantages and disadvantages of a Student-Faculty Council. The members also sold A.A. tickets and handled the school's insurance plan. At all home basketball games council members sold soda and candy. Other duties included the regulation of traffic and the inspection of desks and lockers. The auditorium committee arranged for eight council sponsored programs and also provided the student chairmen for the guidance institutes. A donation was given to the Foster Parents’ Plan for War Children. As in previous years, at graduation, a chemistry scholarship in memory of Vernon P. Hancock was awarded for outstanding achievement in chemistry, and the Student Council World War II Memorial Award was given for outstanding citizenship.
