Our (jood C lte d All problems affecting the whole concoction of life at Mount Vernon are first reviewed before the Junior College Council. These college girls learn to cope with everything from “talking in chapel line-up to ironing out the gravest of difficulties. They are the repre- sentatives of student leadership in the exercise of student self-goverm ment. This student democracy is one of the most jealously-guarded privileges of the school. The College Council protects this privilege and sees that the student body preserves it. Their efforts are fostered, their actions counseled by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd, President and Head Mistress of Mount Vernon; Miss Helen Hastings, Academic Dean; Miss Catherine Blakeslee, Dean of Admissions; and Miss Jean Pear- son, Social Dean. With all good will, with increasing wisdom, and with purposeful energy, this business of student leadership emerges as perhaps the most significant and productive of school activities.
