L. to R.-T. Thompson. C Morgan. S. Dodek. R. Schwartzman. A. Eisenberg. ,l. Monroe. l. Bachman, D. Clark iilnnnr Glmmril One of the purposes of this school is to develop maturity in thoughts and ethics. The idea of the Honor Code is to coincide with this purpose of the school. It is taken for granted that each member of the student body has so grown in maturity that a police state, em- bodied in the Honor Code, would be quite out of place. Therefore, the code is here to back up a student whose personal code of honor has been violated in some way. Hc may then find an interpretation of the violation and guidance in the Honor Council. The ease with which the new code went into effect this year is a tribute to everyone at Friends. It forms a very solid basis for the position that the code is expected to hold next year. It also gave the Honor Council a positive attitude toward its most important job this year. This job was the finding and eliminating of loopholes in the code, and the forming of a foundation of precedents and opinions for future councils. The loopholes usually turned out to be simply phrases in the code that needed clarihcation. It was, however, the formal opinions on various violations and actual working procedure of the council that required the greatest deliberation.

Leviero, The Quarterly Club had only a few meetings connected with iournalism in general. Instead the emphasis this year has been on having all the club members work in some way on either the Quarterly or the Sideline. Mem- bers have helped by getting ads and by coming to Quarterly dummy days. Here the members typed, dummied the pages and came forth with much needed ideas. The Quarterly this year has made a constant effort to- ward change-change that will better the quality of the Quarter- lies and, especially, Philos. Working with the printer, the staff has tried to make the issues more interesting with different types, more art work and original photography, as well class literary work. The Sideline, too, has successfully tried changes. More art work has appeared. There is a more complete cover- age of the news of the school, and pubilicity and editorials make it extrcmcly valuable to thc school. .I. Raduc. C , Malory. VN.
