REMEMBER Remember in English the poets' dreams, Their loveb thoughts formed endless themesj Supreme-those voiced by .S'hakespeare's brain Whose rhyme made music of immortal strain. Then remember trying to remember history, Musing on whose or what great victory, Those dates that made us fuss and jidget Until we knew the proper digit. Remember, too, the rules of diction When delivering fact or fictionj Put accents in the proper spot, If not . . . well then, So what? Do you recall a moonlit night When Uping errors were our plight And shorthand notes made in confdence Could not be read with eloquence? Remember, too, in Economics Debates that were, at times, quiet comic, Those students who with snap and vim So quickly put us all in trim. Remember Latin of long ago? Gee, those Romans could certainly crow. In French the men with stratagem Recalled the phrase, ChercheZ la femmef In angle-ic Math we can't forget The theorems that made us fret, Or nuisance x in some tough spot Until we found it equalled aught. Then remember the reckoning time, With examinations in their prime, In the Library we'd be cramming 'Till our heads were flled with learning. Well, two and two still make but fourj To count one's wealth, one needs no more. To continue on . . . to earn success, We step along . . . we do our best. -ISABEL O'I-IARE 28

STUDENT COUNCIL This month Student Council completes its sixth year of activity under its own constitution which states that this organization is to establish and perpetuate customs and traditions that will tend toward higher ideals and standards, as well as to coordinate the organized clubs and activities. This is the body which arranges for socials, visiting speakers, musical programs and the support of all student ac- tivities. At the beginning of this year Council planned to give the student body the type if program it wanted and not force any activities. With that thought in mind plans were made for the Scopn and the SCHENLEYAN, at least one dance and an inter- esting and educational lecture. For the first dance Ed Jones, the chairman, secured two orchestras, Harry Drew's' ' and The Aristocrats both of which were popular. But even more popular was the Big Apple started by Deaumer. Since this first dance was such a success, Student Council planned another. Matthew Cristie, then vice-president, was chairman. Although the sale of tickets was slow at first, the dance was a success-that night every one had a good time. The auditorium programs sponsored by Council were varied and interesting. Early in the year we were fortunate in securing Mr. Branson DeCou who gave an illustrated travelog on Ancient Rome. On the last evening before Christmas holidays Mr. R. S. Miller presented a program of Christmas music. Immediately following this program, Dr. Ben G. Graham explained in detail the closing of the evening schools situation. Later in the year at a general assembly Robert Patterson, our President, and John Ward, business manager of the SCHENLEYAN, spoke. Mr. Ward gave the history of the yearbook and an outline of what this year's SCHENLEYAN would probably contain. Mr. Patterson stressed the need for a cooperative spirit and explained the responsibilities of the room representatives and the students to each other. Late in April the Drama Club presented two plays, and in May the school was entertained with a stunt program given for the benefit of the Senautanw. The annual concert given by the Schenley Day School Band under the direction of Mr. Isenberg followed. In addition to providing the school with dances and assembly programs, the Student Council has helped all other organizations to carry on their work more effectively. -RAY LUCAS, ROBERT PA'rTERsoN 30
