Student government at S.J.M., embodied in a group consisting of the class presidents and leaders of all campus organizations, functions through the Student Council, which is presided over by the Student Body officers and moder- ated by the Co-principals. This Board coordinates all student activity and serves as a link between students and faculty. Convening bi-weekly, the council discusses activities and decides questions of policy affect- ing the entire student body. At these meetings class officers have an opportunity to ask ques- tions, to express their opinions, and to discuss their own particular problems. In this way all students are kept well informed. Since the Co-principals serve as moderators, leaders have a good opportunity to go straight to the top to find out exactly what they can and cannot do.
