THE HONOR BOARD HONOR means the acceptance by the individual of standards of truthfulness and in- tegrity as the basis for work and action. The purpose of the Honor System is to encourage in the student body the highest sense of honor that may be attained. The Honor System was created in the spring of 1948 by members of the Junior College and IV Academic class and went into effect in the fall of 1948. All the members of the Student Government Association in the Junior College are governed by the Honor Sys- tem. They elect their representatives to the Honor Board, which was created to imple- ment the regulations of the Honor System and to uphold the standards of honor and integrity which are essential for a good school and a good society, or a good individual. 81

STUDENT COUNCIL THE Student Government Association is the heart of Packer. Every student in the high school and college is a member. It is the invisible force in all the activities in Packer: in the clubs, the plays, the dances, the drives, athletics, the PCI and The Pelican, in class rooms, and in chapel, because it is the students who participate in all these activities who are the Student Gov- ernment Association. The Student Council is the board elected by the students to represent them at meetings. The Coun- cil is in charge of the drives during the school year of which there are usually at least four: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Red Cross and Milk Eund. The 1949 Thanksgiving drive gave over 25 baskets of food to poor families in Brooklyn; for the Christmas Eund $447.82 was collected. This amount was divided among seven different organi- zations: Brooklyn Tuberculosis and Health Asso- ciation, School Settlement Association, Visiting Nurse Association, South Brooklyn Neighborhood Houses, Y. W. C. A., The March of Dimes, and Brooklyn Bureau of Social Service. The Red Cross and Milk Eund drives come in the spring. Besides being in charge of drives The Council takes care of latenesses, any student problems which arise, and administers the Honor Code. It sees that school rules and regulations are followed and, more important, upholds the integrity and honesty for which Packer stands.

SENIOR MUSIC CLUB THE Music Club is one of Packer ' s most popul.ir organizations. Its large member- ship of girls from the Academic School and Junior College meets on the first Tues- day of every month to hear a musical program and eat delicious refreshments. Our programs, which are designed to bring out any hidden talent a member may have, are varied and interesting. Our first meeting, held witii the Workshop, presented a Gay Nineties revue. At our Christmas meeting, we all sang carols around the piano. An in- teresting speaker told us of the relationship between music and mathematics at another meeting held with the Mathematics Club. In May, we elected new officers and had an old fashioned ice-cream party. Now, at the close of a most successful year, we want to thank all of our seventy members, who, by volunteering to entertain or to bring in refreshments, have helped to make this one of the best years in Music Club history.
