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.

The bus starts up, but Oh — so slow, And then we think, Doesn ' t the driver know That we ' re in a hurry to get to the USO? We start to sing to pass the time, And before we know it we see the sign That says Patuxent Base ; and then, we know We ' re going through the gates to the USO. We are greeted at the door by Jane and Mrs. G, Then the fellows come over by groups of two and three. There are some you dance with and see no more, And there are others that seem to hit a high score And you think to yourself, I want to know more. And now we are leaving this place so dear: Some just for the summer — They ' ll be back next year. The rest are graduating and no longer will go Through the gates of the Base to the USO. But before we leave on our — we ' ll call it vacation, We would like you to take a little dictation. Thanks are in order for Jimmy and Jake Who have spun the records for those Saturday night dates. And now, to the staff, we really must go; We ' ve enjoyed being a part of the USO. Sally Turner 28
