IN MEMORIAM lt is the purpose of this column to note the names of per- sons connected with the school who have died during this year. Mr. William H. Warner, an alumus of Montrose High School, died during the past winter. For several years he served very capably on the School Board. Since that time he has taken unlimited interest and had given unsparingly of' his time and effort for the benefit of the school. Mr. Warner filled a niche in our community which will not soon be graci- ously and acceptably occupied. The school was saddened by the death one of the facul- ty, Miss Thelma Button, and of a fourth grade pupil, Edward Rydzewski. Both were buried on the same day, February 8. The throngs of people at the funerals and the flowers spoke highly of the love and esteem felt toward these members of our school. We wish to extend sympathy to Arthur Bowen, '27, in the loss of his father, and to Dorothy Potter, '30, in the loss of her father. , 'llllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllll lllll 16

Members of the senior class were the pioneers in arousing interest in this plan. Meeting with the approval of the majority of the students and faculty, the plan was soon put in force. At first two study periods were given over for student rule, but later another period was added. The governing body, or student council, consists of one repre- sentative from the faculty, three from the Senior class, two from the Junior class, and one from each the Sophomore and Freshmen classes. The study halls are in charge of monitors, who are chosen by the Presi- dent of the council. These monitors take the roll and give permis- sions. In case of a more serious misbehavior, the student is reported to the council for punishment. The advantages of student rule are easily seen, but perhaps they are more numerous in our school where the facilities and funds are limited. The teachers in high school all have a heavy schedule of classes, some of them teaching six or seven of the eight periods. If the study halls are conducted by the pupils, it means that much less work for the teachers. This time, then, may be used in helping back- ward pupils or in more thoroughly preparing their assignments. We cannot, in truth, say student government is one hundred per cent. eiicient in our school-any plan when first adopted is not ex- pected to be wholly successful-but the Seniors are proud of the fact that they were the class to commence student rule, and they are con- fident that in the future the undergraduates will carry the plan to success.
