THE SOCIAL CALENDAR The school is indeed indebted to York Catholic for the Wonderful Wel- coming spirit they gave the Prep in its first year. A most enjoyable skating party was held by the Prep at the-VVhite Rose skating rink last fall. The boys invited the girls of Saint Joseph's to the affair, Which was Well attended by both in- stitutions. Although the junior Prom has not as yet been held, at this Writing, it gives every appearance of being the crowning point of the year's social pro- gram. l

J THE SOCIAL CALENDAR The social calendar held some pleas- ant evenings for the student body dur- ing the last year. The first dance of the year, culminating the Christmas holi- days, was held on February 17. Super- vised by Father Clement White, T.O.R., the dance Was held in the gymnasium under the sponsorship of the Freshman Class. The students Were hosts to the girls from Saint Joseph Academy. Outstanding that evening Were the beautiful decorations Which adorned the hall. The dance began at eight o'clock and the Hnal dance Was played at eleven. The public address system suplied the music and Paul Leahy served as Master of Ceremo- nies. Sandwiches and refreshments were served at the intermission. Another highlight of the social year was the dance held by York Catholic High School, to which our student body Was invited. The event was held in in the school auditorium With a local orchestra rendering the music. Approximately a month later, this school again invited the Prepsters to another dance.

STUDENT UULINCIL The workings of the Student Coun- cil are well-known to all the students. Ten members and a hloderator com- prise the group. The elections take place early in the year. The entire stu- dent body elects these primary officers by secret ballot. Once in oflice, the Council plans the social calendar for the year and is employed in disciplin- ary measures. A class entering the school for its first year is allowed two representa- tives, who have neither active nor pas- sive voices. ln other words, they may not vote, and they may not be voted for. During their second year they may again elect two representatives. These electees have active but not passive voice. In their junior and senior years, three members may be elected to the Council who have both active and pas- sive voice. The President and Vice President are both elected from the upper classes. First in importance, the Student Council controls the money contained in the Student Activity Fund. The funds are so allotted that equal dis- tribution is appropriated for all acti- vities. The Moderator is appointed by the Headmaster. He guides the group and advises them before any action is taken.
