Hou e ouncil House Council is the governing body of the boarding students, composed of the house president, Jane Withers, advisors, live pre- feets, and proctors selected every quarter from each hall. Once a Week it meets to deal with problems that arise among the boarders. This year House Council has devised a demerit system which has been effective in enforcing the rules. But, as the boarders will agree, the Council is not all Work, it sponsors parties at Christmas and the end of the year, as Well as the welcome surprise parties after study hall. House Council plays an important part in the lives of boarding students by enabling them to request privileges and to make sug- gestions for the benefit of all, and so to play a useful part in their own government. Day Day Council is the branch of the Student Government that is responsible for dealing with problems which involve the day students exclusively. In doing so it alleviates some of the burdens of the Student Council by giving it more time to concentrate on rules concerning the entire student body. Each form elects a day student who is cap- able of proposing speculative and helpful sug- gestions, thereby making the Council a repre- sentative group of all four forms. It is headed by Debbie Dick, Day Student President, and Mrs. Massey, Day Student advisor. This Council, only in its second year, is a serious part of the daily life of Mount Vernon. It is a division of the judiciary system that helps the school to run smoothly. 11 Seated on the fl00I'i Molly Peck, Caroline Kenworthy.

4 Student uneil ww The Student Council at Mount Vernon represents the student body in the government of the school. The purpose of the Council is not only to enforce the rules of the school, but also to instill in the Student Body qualities of spirit and helpfulness. This year the Council has tried to canvass the stu- dents for their opinions on citizenship and school spirit. The handbook tests included essays designed to solicit these views. The Council membership consists of the President of the Student Body, the President of Optima, the President of House Council, the President of the Day Students, a Secretary-Treasurer, and the Presi- dents and Vice-Presidents of the four classes. Miss Cutheim served as the Council advisor this year, and her guidance was greatly appreciated.

A New Cirl-Old Girl party, The Rodeo Bound-upf' was given in Lloyd Hall with refreshments, games, and entertainment pro- vided by the Council. At the Honor Assembly, held in Lloyd Hall in October, the Council explained the meaning of the Honor Code to the students in an effort to emphasize its importance as an integral part of Mount Vernon life. This year the Council initiated the plan to sponsor several projects on behalf of the chapel fund. Movies such as Carousel, and Breakfast at Tiffanyisi' were held, and bake sales were given. It is hoped that the students will maintain much interest in their govern- ment, the complete cooperation of the students is needed in order to uphold the standards of Mount Vernon. 10
