Carolyn Hogg Girls' Council VERY Monday night, Joyce McKinstry, Dean of Girls, and various representatives have met under the auspices of Girls' Council to dis- cLlSS the different problems and concerns that arise in the girls' dorms and other areas of school life. A try at putting to bed and deciding the neces- sary regulations for meal lateness resulted from these discussions. Not exclusively concerned with disciplinary matters, the Girls' Council has claimed credit for projects of a different nature. Among the more pleasant accomplishments have been trips to I, B. M. and the Christmas Party, not to mena tion food vended regularly each Tuesday and Thursday night to tide dieters over until the next meal. The conversion of the basement in the Girls' New Dorm into a rumpus room complete with piano has been one of the Council's major tasks. Through the year, with Mickeys invaluable help, Girls' Council has tried not only to assume more responsibility, but also to stimulate in the dorms that same sense of responsibility. Boys' Council Hli Boys' Council, without a doubt, is one of the most important councils on campus. The reason for its prominence is the responsible part it plays in the total organization that directs Oakwood. The Council. during the past years. has gone through many stages: namely, its birth. its strug- gle for survival, and its tight for recognition, The Council, at the present time, is in the third stage. and to many of us this is the most difficult, Dur- ing the struggle for recognition, we have found comfort in the assurance and guidance of our faculty advisers, Alfred Anderson, Dean of Boys, and Francis Henderson, This struggle for recog- nition is far from its end, and it must be carried on by next year's Council. The success or failure of this struggle will determine whether or not the Boys' Council really exists or is merely a name, With that in mind, we would like to wish next year's Council a smooth path to its goal.
