Qtuhent Clin-uperatihz Quhernment N the year 1921, Student Co-operative Government was organ- ized in Nazareth Academy. It was nobly carried on by its first President, Donna McMahon, assisted by an able Vice- President, Helen I. Margrett. These two officers, by their 5 5, tireless zeal for the project, inspired the students with a keen appreciation of the benefits of Student Government. The two Lew,-B classes that followed carried on the movement of Student Co- operation in school control, and passed it on to the class of 1924 as a well established tradition. , The enthusiasm and general unity of spirit prevailing in the Senior Class of the present year gave well-founded promise of a creditable record in this phase of school activity. Accordingly, the student body organized in early October under the direction of the following officers: President, Inez Maierg Vice-President, Mary Swan, and Secretary, Helen Scheid, with a teacher acting as counsellor. According to the by-laws, each home room elected officers who acted as its representatives on the Student Council. Following the elections, regular meetings of the Council were held every Thursday after school. Marshals were appointed for the halls and cafeteria, thus directing traffic in every part of the building. The purpose of the weekly Council meetings was to keep the spirit alive, to report habitual delinquencies and to plan for securing the best order. By working out the suggestions proposed at the Council meetings, we find that our aim has been fairly well attained. A new feature in the form of a contest was introduced, in which all the home rooms entered with a spirit that made us feel assured of success. One point each day was to be given in each home room for a clear record in each of' the following: punctuality, attendance, cafeteria order, conduct in the auditorium, cor- rect carfare and the wearing of the uniforms. At the meetings, the counts were reported and recorded. The home room scoring the greatest number of counts secured the banner which was to be placed in a position of honor for one week. This is a January to June competition, at the close of which the room which scores the highest is given a spread by the room with lowest record. 'pl We may here add that the purpose of Student Co-operative Govern- ment is to fit our girls for later life by training them in ability, honor and self-control. Many places there are for improvement but, with sincerest good wishes, we leave that work for our successors. in li li With feelings of sorrow we record in our report the death of Miss Donna McMahon, the first president of the Student Co-operative Govern- ment Organization in our school. She was also President of the Class of 1921, both of which offices she filled with such distinction and ability that her name has become a tradition in the school. We, then freshmen, remember the sweet-mannered, kind girl to whom we all looked up as the leading spirit, not only of Student Government but also of every school activity, in which she was always the leader by the force of her remark- able personality. Her very character won a general and generous co-oper- ation throughout the school for she made every one feel that the object was one worth while striving to reach, and hen own public-spirited example was always her most persuasive argument. Another school activity, started under her leadership, was the filling of Christmas baskets for the poor. This too has become a school tradition. Seldom have the personal qualities of a student impressed themselves upon so large a body of stu- dents. Her memory will long remain an influence for good in Nazareth Academy. twenty-nine
