STUDENT COUNCIL This years council was marked by tran- sition and controversy. The first half of the year brought cries from the student body that the topics under discussion at the weekly meetings were not worthy of discussion. lt also showed insufficient par- ticipation by the members of the governe ing bodyf Two important questions arose: What is the purpose of the Student Counf cil9 Do we need a change in organization? By midterm elections, Pomfret foundit- self engaged in a new method of electing council representatives and a school-wide party system. Everyone wished success to Left to Right i Back: Nl. du Pont, lVlr. Lazea Payson, Mr. Richardson, M. Lewis, Front Row: the council, and was actively interested in the elections. When the political campaign had finish- ed and the smoke of battle had lifted, Pom- fret found itself with all but two council positions changed. Once the new board was seated, however, the party system evapor- ated. Members of the august body tried valiantly to bring it into play, but they found again that theory was easier than practice. During the remainder of the year there was great interest in the work of the coun- cil and although much was left undone. the vitality and marked increase in general participation on the part of the school seemed to promise great things for an- other year. r, O'Conner, Lamnatos, Eshbaugh, Williams.
