Old Trail School - Vestigia Yearbook (Akron, OH)

THE COMMITTEE SYSTEM Our committee system is one of the largest ships at Old Trail. The committees, each one a porthole that looks out into a vast area, each of an entirely different field, give the students a sense of sharing together our demo- cratic standards, of participating in the high ideals of the school, and a greater sense of responsibility. At the beginning of the school year, each upper schcol student is placed on the committee of her choice. Each committee has a facultv advisor and a chairman who is elected by the committee, The committees are allowed to set up their own standards and laws while the Student Council promotes the activities and keeps the commit- tees all working together and for each other. The work of each committee is to organize and be responsible for a specific activity. Thus, each girl realizes the important part she plays in our school through her active participation on her own committee. VX A Q! 12,7 STUDENT COUNCIL Seated: Miss Courtney, Ann Rowley, Judy Bear. Standing: Polly Parsons, Susan Davis, Kyra King, Susan Henretty, Virginia Ayres, Lee Robinson, Linda Hall, Vicki Holt, Janet Huber, Judy Baer, Christy Firestone, Mary Ann Linforth. Officers: President, Ann Rowley: Vice President, Susan Davis: Secretary-Treasurer, Judy Bear. The Student Council is the committee which binds all the other committees and activities of the school to- gether. The classes are well represented in it, each having elected several girls as representatives from their respective classes. The Council has sponsored a dance, several elections, the Father-Daughter Banquet, and the new girl parties for those interested in attending Old Trail. It also sees that the Reminder System is carried out effectively. Miss Courtney is the faculty advisor. 62
