STUDENT GOVERNMENT Francis Frahcr, President Matthew Murphy, Vice-President I Keith Varni, Recording Secretary Charles Clifford, Treasurer Telephone messages were pouring like tardy pupils into Father Cosgrove's student-stuffed office. Tenants near school were complaining of Senior sloppiness with lunch refuse. It was clearly a question for the student council to bat from man to man like a political volley ball. At the next session, joined by remarks from the IRC's Marinos and the Red £r Blue's O'Connor, they harrangued and argued during a forty- minute Activity Period. As usual. Father Tiche- nor supervised and commented on the pro- ceedings, occasionally chiming his sagacious Donald Luchessa, Corr. Scc'fy Edward Dc Marline, Sgt.-at-Arms

1 rtf. fed Jrf r to STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: Keith Varni, Gordon MacLachlan, Dennis Marinos, John J. O'Connor Sitting: James Kearney, Joseph Desmond, Matthew Murphy, Francis Fraher, Edward DeMartini, Charles Clifford, George Badaracco it, remarks of two years' experience. Would they nullify the Senior Privilege? Would they take other drastic measures? Even President Frank Fraher was not certain. But students were sure their reorganized and now wieldable represen- tatives will at the last analysis evolve a work- able solution. In May of 1946 St. Ignatius had elected fellow-classmen to pilot it through the coming storm—Frank Fraher to do the master-mind- ing, Keith Varni to take the minutes. Matt Murphy to direct all upper-class-officer meet- ings, Don Luchessa to send out the mail, and Chuck Clifford to save the money. During the fiscal year they discussed re-shaping the Rally committee, establishing the Mahoney-Bruce Trophy, celebrating President's Day. Much like their Washington, D. C., big brothers they would debate, agree, then formulate a propo- sition. A Principal O.K. would make it a law. But, unlike Congress, they were not legislative, only suggestive. Every success—rallies, dances, holidays — Ignatians could indirectly ascribe to their bee- busy agents in Room 108. Your attention, please.
