ljc Castellan 1048 EaMJMBygCTTHSS2SSagaS inHn student- sracuitu Ljouernment —STSSocia Hon Some twelve years ago a student-faculty Government Association was formed, functioning at first only in the Upper Division. At the end of the year 1939-1940, by general vote, it was extended to the whole school. There is a governing body, called the Student-Faculty Govern- ment Association, made up of representatives of all four classes, and a faculty member. Regular meetings are held of the Council and of the Association for discus- sion and consideration of suggestions and problems; a Student Handbook is gotten out by the Association for new students, and a real effort is made to maintain the cooperative idea throughout and valuable growth in liv- ing in a democratic society is achieved. For the past several years, Miss Louise Rotha, Acting President, has been the adviser for this organization. This year the student body was well represented by Joann Boner, President; Betty Baldwin, Vice-President; Elizabeth Thomas, Secretary; Freya Sattelmaier, Trea- surer; Mary Jane Shepard, Peg Fowler, Shirley Bowen, Mary T. Naylor, Carolyn Baumann, Leigh Ribble, Sally Turner, Pat Coogan, Kitty Dallam, and Betty Resh, class representatives; and Betty Critzer and Josephine Nicodemus, Court Members. tc ' Jhaiih I begged this small corner in The Castellan for a very special purpose. I want to express my gratitude to every member of the student body and the faculty who has helped to make my year as President of the S.F.G.A. a most pleasant one. Many valuable assets are gained through holding such a position as I have held, and I only wish that all of you might have the same experi- ence. You discover what a great thing cooperation really is and that trait called loyalty too. I feel that I have had a great deal of both this year; and for this and everything else, you have my thanks.

Among the performances of the Glee Club this year were several visits to the Naval Air Station, Patuxent River, Maryland; a program of Christmas rounds; car- ols for the annual Christmas Pageant; a King ' s Daugh- ters Program; a program on May 3 over Station WANN, Annapolis; and the music for graduation week which included Baccalaureate and Commencement. THE SAMADRA CLUB Anyone who is interested in dramatics and current theatrical news is permitted to join the Samadra Club. During the year several short one-act plays were pre- sented at King ' s Daughters. Their major production was in November 1947, when they presented three one-act plays: Home to Mother by Muriel R. Balton. At t In- junction by Rachel Field, and So Wonderful (In Whiti I by N. Richard Nausbaum. The Samadra Plavers also sponsored a tea which proved to be very delightful. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB For those interested in cooking, sewing, or any subject pertaining to Home Economics, membership is open. The Home Economics Club which meets bi-monthly in the Home Ec. Cottage sponsors several tea houses and a Silver Tea during the year. All of these are held in the Cottage, which makes a very appropriate setting. During the summer the members will no doubt have an opportunity to use their experience gained by their membership in the Club. ENTRE NOUS For the French students and anyone who is interested in the French language, the Seminary provides a French Club. The purpose is to promote a better understanding of the French people, their language, and their customs. The Club provides recreation and social contacts among the girls while providing practice in the French lan- guage. This year the French Club is proud to report that they sent a sum of money to CARE to provide two boxes of food for needy French families. F. B. L. A. The Commercial Club was organized to give the busi- ness students the opportunity to meet informally and to discuss various phases of business life. The Commercial Club has been a campus leader this year and has carried out several projects that proved to be highly interesting to its members. The most eventful day of the year to the Commercialists was Commercial Day. April 15. The purpose of Commercial Day was to acquaint in a brief way the student body with the Busi- ness Department and to promote an interest in the F. B. L. A. (Future Business Leaders of America). The Club also edited a paper. The Commercialist, which was distributed on Commercial Day. THE SIGNAL NEWS The Signal News, which is edited and published by members of the Journalism class and the Business De- partment, is a monthly publication. It offers an oppor- tunity for interested students to get practical experience in writing news, and it affords the business students with the actual experience of producing a mimeographed paper. The picture of the staff appears in this issue.
