These girls help to estab- lish cl Democratic spirit on the bil! STUDENT COUNCIL Rosemary Dudley, Mary Helen Dwyer, Phyllis Laufe, Catharine Redding, Caroline Jamison, Minnie Mannarino, Anne Ben- nis, Concetta Zaccoli .Quofenf Zane! . . . The Student Council at Seton has just completed its third year of existence and is still an active force in the building of character among the students. It is the governing body of the school, consisting of a president, vice-president, and secretary elected from the upperclassmen. Representatives from the various classes are chosen to serve on the council which really acts as an advisory board. Student Government is an organization which embodies democratic principles. It is an effective agent in teaching the girls the full appreciation of privileges and responsibilities. Besides giving them a share in governing the School affairs, it instills in all a desire to follow school regulationsg it sharpens student interest in school- sponsored functions. Therefore, our Student Council has always endeavored to be more than an agent for maintaining discipline. It has succeeded in stimulating responsibility, initiative, and the opportunity for leadership in the girls. This organization has proved beneficial to both the students and the faculty during the three years of its experimentation. It has sown the seeds of democratic ideals in the lives of its members. 46
