I THE MUSE A STUDENTS COUNCIL USEFUL innovation for Malvern Collegiate would be a Students' Council. What is that '? you may ask. VVe will give you a detailed explanation. The Students' Council consists of representative members from each society and organization in the school. The president is selected by the teaching staff. the remaining officers elected by the members of the Council from among their own body. Two members of the teaching staff are included in the Council as advisory officers. This completes the board. The Students' Council could now take care of a large amount of work with which the staff is now heavily burdened. The office and teaching staffs have gladly borne these school burdens for a long period. They have willingly granted us their valuable time in organ- izing school activities. It is now time for the pupils to take up their own burdens, which the staffs have capably carried through the past years. and organize and conduct our own affairs. School entertain- ments, dances, plays, athletics. etc., would be controlled by the Stu- dents' Council. The Students' Council also could secure a greater degree of co-operation among these branches through the representa- tives of' the different organizations. For the numerous cases where discipline is required in school activities, the Students' Council forms a court of inquiry. Let us take a hypothetical case. The student stands before the seated judges who are to consider his breach of conduct. He assumes an outward appearance of nonchalance while inwardly he, if guilty. is quaking with fear of the impending justice which awaits him. He stands thus while the council study him in silence, giving him time to reconsider his plea. Information gleaned from his teachers and fellow-pupils regarding his character and work is read to the Council. The defendant is allowed tosay anything he wishes in his own defence. If he is found guilty, the transgressor may have to pay a fine or may be punished in such other way the Council sees fit. These courts would have a restraining influence on the pupils and would help to maintain discipline. They would be more effective than the court now operated by the teachers, for a student is always more deeply affected by the judgment of his peers than by that of his superiors. In its many branches of scholastic, athletic and social endeavour, Malvern would be greatly benefitted by a Students' Council. -IRVING PHILLIPS. I 14 fl

THE JIFSE MEMORIES T IS with sincere regret that I pen these few lines, for they seem like a message of farewell to the school where I have spent my time for the past live years. I won't say that those five years have not been without trials. No one who had sat for approximately one hundred and forty-three examinations and innumerable tests during his course could possibly make that assertion, but I will repeat the age-old phrase that they certainly have been the happiest days of mv life. It is with a secret smile that I can now recall tasks of school life which at one time or another have caused me considerable worry. I think I may safely state that the prominent place among this group is occupied by the history orals which were required of us daily in First and Third Form. My days at this period seemed to me a culmination of all life's hardships, the time before the famed orals being spent in nervous apprehension and the after-hours in recuper- ating. However, school life has brought about many friendships and has provided many pleasures and good times, the memory of which I shall always treasure. And no matter how steep the path has seemed. how dark the way has loomed ahead, the teachers have always been at hand to give unstintingly of their time and knowledge and to pilot us over the sea of learning. When I leave Malvern. I know that I finish one chapter of my life. a chapter filled with cherished memories of my association with the school, and I'm certain that even the time will come when I'll long for those glorious, light-hearted days when history orals were my chief anxiety. -DOROTHY BELL. E regret the absence of a section labelled Form News from this year's MUSE, for we had fully intended to have such a sec- tion. Unfortunatelv we did not receive enough contributions lol make it worth while. We did not hear from some of the forms at a . The first formers who contributed are to be heartily praised for their attempts. We hope the same people will help uphold second form in next year's magazine. Form 3C is deserving of special com- mendation for their contributions, and the response from some of the fourths was gratifying. But if an award were to be presented to the form which has given us the best co-operation with consistently good and pleasingly varied contributions ever since we first asked for them, that award would go to form 2A. The contributions of 2A have brought many a happy smile to an editorial face. E151
