STUDENT COUNCIL LTHOUGH the 1951-52 activities of the Student Council are too varied to enumerate, two important accomplishments must be mentioned. It was felt that the standards for recommending and blackballing in Community Service had become lax in recent years. Accordingly, the requirements were stiffened. A food committee was appointed, designed to act as a clearing house for boys' suggestions about food prefer- ences. Everybody was enthusiastic about this idea and although a few of the epicures were disappointed, much was done to satisfy the tastes of the school. The assertive leadership of President Neal Harris and Vice-President Hugh Van Alstyne was important to the successful running of the council. OFFICERS Neal A.

COMMUNITY SERVICE URING this last year, the twenty-Hrst of the school, Community Service has really come of age. With the recent addition of the fall and spring work days, plus a new schedule and a general clarification of the system of citations and blackballs, the program has greatly improved. Though it still lacks a certain amount of spirit and organization, it is an inherent and important part of school life. Many students and probably most graduates would attest to the fact that Community Service is really what keeps Millbrook from being just another prep school. 65
