Among The problems ThaT were solved was ThaT OT The expansion oT The member- ship oT T. N.T. To TiT The need oT The growing enroIImenT aT New Trier.

The number OT iuniors chosen, however, will remain The same, six boys and six girls. AnoTher Task handled by The council This lasT semesTer was ThaT oT The Mess I-Iall. A special board was appoinTed and commiTTees Tor each lunch period were placed in operaTion. Through This arrange- menT The mess hall was greaTly improved.

This iob proved To be a very large one, buT was successTulIy carried ouT Through The Tull cooperaTion oT -all The members OT The I9 STudenT Council.
