The Council in the past three years has proven its value by presenting plans for new activities and promoting the participation of students in these activities. This year the Council has ob-tained permission to hold a Senior Day and has successfully formulated a plan whereby stu- dents who maintain an average of ninety or above for three months are exempt from the final exam. This applies only to class tests, not Regents. Plans have beendrawn up for a driver education course which is to begin in Sept.,56. The Student Council has complete control of all student-sponsored activities and acts as the voice of the student body in such matters. The President and Vice-President are elected annually in the spring. The candidates for these offices must be members of the Junior or Senior year' and they must be approved by the Student Council. The class representatives are elected by their respective classes at the start of each term. These delegates represent their classes at the bi-monthly meetings of the Council. The cooperation the Council has received from Brother Timothy and the faculty has been most encouraging and the student- govern- ment at the Prep is fast becoming a fixture. 26
