Although Student Government has been a very active and vital part of Country Day for six years, this wal the first time that there was a written document as the basis for the functions of the government. Very late in the spring of 1941 a constitution defining and regulating Student Government was ratified by the school. Although the conttitution has proved successful in many ways, there are several inconsfstencies in the text that have led to misunderstandings throughout the year. The Prefects attempted to change the meth- od of elections and limit the sile of the council by passing an amendment at the early part of the year, but becau e of several complications which arose as to the method in which amendments were to be made. this particular amendment was not passed. However, as this book is going to press. the Prefects are at- tempting to add an amendment after studying the question further. During the year three elections were held by which many new members were added to the Student Coun- cil. Besides many short meetings at school, the Student Council met twice at dinner with the faculty and once with the Faculty Committee of the Board of Directors. These meetings were held to get closer cooperation between the different groups of the school. There were several meetings of the whole student body to discuss certain problems. This year the Student Government was new in one respect. All the functions of the government were concerned only with acts and problems at school or concerning the school's reputation, and it was in no way concerned with problems arising from actions of boys out of which did not involve the reputation of the school.
