Student government at RHSM is a unique experience in which all may par- ticipate. Students were urged to attend and lodge complaints, present problems or simply visit. The Student Council is composed ot the four prefects, class presidents, and the junior representative as voting mem- bers with activities directors and seventh and eighth grade representatives as non- voting members. It acts upon matters presented by its members, the students, or the administration. Having varied duties, it is the organ of student participation in government. The Senate members Lindsay Amoss, Jane Harrison, Mr. Larimer, Mr. Keating, Father Winder, Beth Fonts, and Tom Bullen gather around the Headmaster ' s con- ference table to discuss school business.

Here school problems are discussed and ideas and suggestions formulated. From here these new or revised proposals go to Student Council and then to the students in class meet- ings. All final decisions are then made by approval of the Senate. Although the two comrades in the background set an unlikely stage for such a confer- ence, Tom Bullen and Mr. Keating discuss Senate business preliminary to the weekly meeting. 24

Time out for a letter from home or a favorite book shared with an old friend, makes the even- ing shorter. Maybe they have a little less room to mess up, but what they lack in area, they make up in concentration. But once a week it all must go. White glove inspection in fifteen minutes.” Life with Aunt Henri” is not the name of the new T.V. series, it is an experience in living. The B.D. provides opportunities for friendships and broadens the understanding of ourselves and others.
