28 Therese Buettner President Eileen Gunther Secretary Dolores Coviello Treasurer m4 a me $45,; a Student government will build strong citizens. Democracy 0 Notre Dame has its outlet in the Student Council, the governin body of the students which directly Iegislates and enforces. lt i not the mere snapping of clickers nor the sight of badges that com- mands our respect of this student organization. The underlyin motivation is democratic government through self-government. Although the destiny of each class is in the hands of th Student Council, we rely on their governing ability because the are elected to this honor by the body to be governed as are all representatives of a democracy. The voice of the Student Council i the voice of the students who recognize the need of order even t prevent such minor casualties as corridor collisions. A mixture of two-thirds friendliness and one-third dignity char- acterize our Student Council representatives and monitors. Capa- bility, responsibility and efficiency are the ingredients that make a perfect blend. These characteristics would qualify any such stu- dent to fulfill her future duties as a capable citizen far beyond the capacities of her present high school days. Striving to uphold the high standard of our beloved Alma Mater, the Student Council has as its most recent accomplishment the Vic- tory Corps. Cooperating with this national high school organization to unite student effort with that of the government, the students have rallied generously to make successful the tin can, knitting, and scrap rubber drives, the O.P.A.'s demand for volunteer office workers, and supplying home baked goods for the Cathedral Canteen. During these patriotic drives sponsored by the Victory Corps under the direction of the Student Council there has been a steady stream of war bonds and stamps purchased by conscientious fighters on our home front. Several drives held on special occasions through- out the year also have netted results far beyond their goal. Pearl Harbor Day brought in a total of $2,468.75; the three-day campaign in honor of Washington's birthday boosted our total $1,764.25 higher. Cooperating with the nation-wide drive to help raise 10,000 jeeps and lOO army planes for Uncle Sam, 0 total of $21,591.75 was rolled up during the jeep drive-enough to pay for twenty- four jeeps! This drive began on March l and ended on Minute Man Day, April l9. Because 920; of the student body cooperated in buying bonds and stamps during the month of April, Notre Dame was the first school in Cleveland to merit the Treasury Department's schools-at-war Minute Man Flag. Bonds and stamps sold throughout ' the year amounted to $34181 1-35 by May 1' FRESHMEN STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS: Loretta Vargo, Treasurer; Shirley Smith, Secretary; Maryalice Ryan, President.
