There are two Student Councils-one for the morning and one for the after- noon trade girls. The president of the school, Anna Kovalchek, presides over both councils. The vioe-president, Santa Morici, acts as recording secretary for both councils. If a student breaks a school rule, she is given a summons to appear before the council. She is given a chance to speak in her own behalf and is then questioned by council members. When the council members feel that they know enough about the case to judge her, she is asked to leave the room so that the council may discuss her case. She then receives the verdict. For so young an organization, the Student Council has been extremely effective. Faculty Advisers-Mrs. Catherine Fisher and Miss Florence McKeon. STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Self-Government Organization is organized on a democratic basis. The government lies in the hands of the student body which our officers represent. This group is responsible for general order in the corridors, on the stairways and in the lunch room. President .........,,.... ........... A nna Kovalchek Vice-President ....... .......,...........
