CHRISTIAN FRATERN ITY l l i l i I i First Row: Brand, R. C. Robbins, Ellis, Cousins, R. H. Dean, Goddard, Felstiner. Second Row: Madden, Fish, Zener, Ladd, Fay, Mr. Kesler. CHRISTIAN FRATERNITY President: Herbert B. Cousins Vice-President: William C. Ellis Secretary: Robert H. Dean Adviser: lvlr. Kesler Thislyear the Christian Fraternity went about its regular duties with good results. and, in addition, accepted new ones. For the first time, through a group within its organization and the ministers of Exeter, the Fraternity handled town jobs. A more extensive job was accomplished in bringing about a closer tie with the affiliation at the Lycee at Amiens. ln the near future it is hoped that the Fraternity may do the same for their connections in Germany and Italy as well. Towards the end of the fall term two members of the Cabinet represented the Academy at the Northfield Conference, sponsored by the National Preparatory School Committee. The head of the Amer- l l Ol ican Field Service Committee, as well as another member of that organization, spoke to the school at several morning chapels on the work that is being done through their group to unite students all over the world. A member of the World Student Service Fund did likewise. These talks were spon- sored by the Christian Fraternity, as was one by a representative of the Winant Volunteers and another illustrated lecture by a representative of the Seeing-Eye. As usual, the annual prep party and the Gilbert and Sullivan Teas were held with good turnouts. Correspondence with the charitable organizations was handled more fully by the Cabinet members. To climax a successful year the Student Fund Drive went over its quota by nearly S200 and the sum of 5710, highest since before the war, was collected in the Red Cross Drive. The Christian Fraternity is greatly indebted to its adviser. Mr, Kesler, for his unceasing interest and work. l

STUDENT COUNCIL President: Herbert B. Cousins Vice-President: Robert H. Dean Secretary: Adair Dyer, lr. The Student Council's major achieve- ment of the year was the establishment of a new form of student representation. To replace the old system of open meetings, the council set up a group of students, numbering about twenty, to represent equally the various houses and dormitories in the school. Meetings of this group with the Student Council were held at intervals of a month, and the plan proved effective in bringing out student opinion on topics of current discussion. The most important subject for discus- sion at these meetings was the problem of formal dances at Exeter. The loss suffered by the Fall Dance brought to prominence the question of whether students wished to maintain the regular dances in the gym and, if they did, how the dances could be made to draw the necessary attendance. i Increased numbers of Southern and West- ern students have failed to attend the dances so the council decided to try holding a few informal dances with neighboring girls' schools in order that the boys from outside of New England might have a chance to meet girls. ln the spring term on Alumni Day, a dance was planned with Abbot Academy and fifty girls were invited. The council planned to pick seventy boys by lot, fifty of whom would escort girls. The council also started an investigation of extra-curricular activities. A question had arisen as to whether there were too many activities and whether too much of the student's time was spread over a wide variety of activities instead of concentrating on one or two. The strong support of the Exonian helped in making known the activities of the coun- cil. By its new dormitory representation and by close cooperation with the school paper, the council was able to determine more clearly the needs and desires of the student body. STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: Goddard, R. H. Dean, Cousins, A. Dyer, R. C. Robbins. Second Row: Angell, Thoenen, Fish, Canning, Madden, Rossmassler. fiooi

PUBLICATIONS THE EXONIAN President: Gardner S. Thoenen Managing Editor Malcolm C. Purington Business Manager: Robert H. Dean Advisers: Mr. jones Mr. Garhart Mr. Heath September twenty-first saw a new Exo- nian Board, and a new school paper make its debut at both REA. and among some five hundred alumni, parents, and friends. The most noticeable change in the appear- ance of the paper was the changed headline type, all the heads were set on the linotype instead of by hand, as in the past. Even a number of advertisements were set by machine this year. The second innovation in the mechanics of the Exonian was the return later in the winter term to the old system of making up the paper late on Wednesdays and Sundays to allow inclusion EXONIAN of stories turned in at seven-thirty on those days. The paper established a new record this fall when an extra appeared only six minutes after the Andover football game had come to a close. A second extra, in two editions, came out in the winter term, again after the Andover contests. The first of these extras carried stories on the four sports, while the second exhibited pictures of the wresling and swimming meets, accompanying the results of the four contests. A strong editorial policy has been estab- lished this year and held throughout. Fre- quent articles have shown the power of a good editorial system, examples being the poll and report on the no-movie act and on the installation of the Student Repre- sentative plan. Student opinion, backed by the Student Council and brought forward by the paper, caused a reversal in the plan to vary the Saturday night program of entertainment. First Row: C.
