The Student Council is the pulsating organ of com- munication between the faculty and the student body. It was founded for the purpose of fostering whole- hearted, co-operation between classes, of initiating and supervising student activities, of presenting the diffi- culties of individual students to the Administration. It's elected membership represents each homeroom. It is their function to voice the desires and wishes held by their homeroom students. These representatives have admirably fulfilled the duties for which they have been elected. The Student Council has built up class spirit, class harmony, and has united everything to produce a more lasting an a more vigorous school spirit. Lastly, it has done much to preserve and to perpetuate the various traditions and ideals which are so much a part of Our Lady of Lourdes. M. J. Baceski, encouraged in her merry mischief by M. A. Dauksha, mercilessly initiate the frustrated Freshmen. Undernourished in the three r's, the tin man, portrayed by M. Yucha, competently super- vises the situation. Vice-president, P. Brennan takes delight in crowning B. Waraska as Queen of the Holly Hop. K. Cates is sternly reprimanded by turn about principal, R. Letcavage and assistant principal, P, Brennan. This day was long-awaited by the students. The Student Council mem- bers capably infiltrated faculty ranks. N. L l 61 N., ,F y.
