ffieers Share Administrative urden Social Activities. Dorm Council and Honor Board work to extend fellowship between dorm students and commuters and to supervise every aspect of our student organizations. We like to think about the Thurs- day afternoon teas on campus. about those Town Meetings in the Lounge where we tried to settle the affairs of the world. and about the House Dances, where. according to an an- onymous reporter. we danced in yummy dresses. Dorm Council makes a Simmons dorm truly our home away from home by supplying a few reasonable rules and seeing that We obey them. Honor Board-a proof of our re- sponsibility-asks the same thing of each of us: complete honesty. The distinction of proctorless exams and a completely adult feeling are its re- Wards. Assembly Committee selects Friday afternoon programs to suit everyone. Wlith the help of Stu G, balancing the academic with the social is easier fo1' all of us.

Student overnment JANET WINTERS President of'Sludent Government THE SIMMONS STUDENT GOVERNMENT Every year the thirteen girls on Student Government Council man- age to bring one pet project to coin- pletion. This year. top billing goes to the council's drive for national defense aid. A plan was needed which would organize all the Sinnnons girls inter- ested in defense work into a group large enough and cooperative enough to be useful. Stu G produced this plan, submitted it to students and faculty for approval, and then put it into action. hlore than this, the Council has taken over the duties of Junior Shush C onnnittee in Study Hall, and has appointed a Curriculum Commit- tee to bring about a better under- standing between students and fac- ulty concerning both new and old courses.

Muriel Crowley Vice-presiden t Barbara Stott Treasurer Q V Xu i901 lass fficers Ranking next to Student Govern- ment president in importance, class presidents head four groups of busy executives and committee members. lllhen not absorbed in an official- looking notebook, these capable ones have a choice of worries: finances, the problem of finding a few more vic- tims for jobs that just have to be done, or locating still more class members for all sorts of committees. Executive board meetings and class meetings must run smoothly. Co- operation being indicated here, the secretary helps the president carry things through by reading minutes, taking notes and acting as official counter-of-votes during elections. The treasurer plays an effective role by reading a statement of the class finances with the proper pathos or rejoicing, as the case may be. Finally there is the vice-president, who in spite of a seemingly easy ,position finds-her Work is enough to keep her busy. The class parties which We enjoy so much run smoothly according to plans thought out by a network of committees and carried on by other groups. JUNIOR OFFICERS Coughlin, Nlclieon, Wingate, Bow ce
