The Student Council, a connecting link between the Administration and the Student Body, in spite of many handicaps, has completed a very successful year. ln forward- ing student opinion and maintaining student discipline, the Council has done much to perpetuate the high ideals for which Mount Hermon stands, Because of the splendid spirit of cooperation within the body itself, the Council has again proved the worthwhileness of a Student-Administrative policy, As we look to the future, we are able to see closer relationship among students, faculty, and administration, Keeping in mind, at all times, a student's needs, the Council has advocated those things which bring about a happier and fuller school life upon our campus. Truly we have tasted of something good, truly we have sighted something new, yet we only too well realize that we must forge ahead into still other fields. With our past behind us to profit by, we look to the future for added laurels to our wreath of accomplishments. Seven wi'f 'T' I I: I QR' I f 639 'XT-ff
