72 .Q Ani Q-unc! The Student Council, established in our Cathedral this year, has proved to be a great success. It had its troubles, as all worthwhile things must, but it emerged victoriously, as we all knew it would. Sug- gestions, criticisms, and much deliberation echoed in everyone's ears until student council was a slogan. In order to carry out the aims ol this organization, which are to instill in Catholic youth sound, Christian ideals, and to promote extra-curricular activities among the students, a systematic method ol procedure was developed. Betty Zatkovich was chosen as president ol the Student. Council. Under her direc- tion the leaders ol the squads, Beatrix Kolski, Dorothy Shoemaker, Cecelia Ma- maux, and -lean Curley proved their worth as disciplinarians. 'l'hese girls, with the help ol other members ol the squads, kept order in the lunch room, conducted assemblies, patrolled the halls. and received visitors to the school. This method ol choosing dil- lerent. squads certainly has given Cathe- dralites an opportunity to cooperate. Oh, my, yes! The Student Council is delinitely a success, hut as you know, all good things are accompanied hy lile's little trials. This proved true in the case ol those who had to lace the lioard. A lair trial was held in which the jury, consisting ol the presidents ol the classes, carefully weighed the evidence, then, a penalty had to be paid, and I must say that a live-hun- dred-word theme on NVhy I should have -ior XVhy l Shouldn't,-- is not a pleasant pastime, but in every case the pun- islnnent lit the crime. Student government is characteristic ol a democracy, lor each girl has an opportunity to give her suggestions and her ideas as to what is best lor the common good ol the pupils. It has taught Cathedralites the les' sons ol tolerance. good sportsmanship. and responsibility.

Sl -XFF NIENIBERS OF THIC C.XTHlilJRALI'l'li REYIIQXYING THE EXCIHXNGES. Your School Paper XVhen you see girls hurriyng through the halls with deeply furrowed brows, you may conclude that the Cathedralite is about to go to press. Now, do not think that these same girls do not enjoy this last minute rush, lor, while it is rather wearing on onels nervous system, it is a chiel' contributor in making a seniorls year more pleasant. In the June issue ol' '40, we were given an opportunity to prove our capability in publishing the paper. Tirelessly we worked over the artiflesg for, it was agreed that we should try to make this issue better than any ol' the preceding ones. But just how could this be accomplished? That was the problem! XVQ lelt that the solution to our problem would be the addition of several new feature articles. Co-editors Nancy 'lean Hicks and Grace Becker initiated the col- umn, A'Curtain Going Up, in which the girls gave their opinions on the latest stage and screen productions. Other featured articles begun were Have You Heardf This 'nl That, and YVhy Daddies Crow Baldf' A SPRING SON G Ou! of ll IUIIVPII Il7'01t'l1 zvilller 11011 A rlaisvv 1211511171 lim' tiny llflld, To blink ll Slflfflj' eye and say I 1111110 111111 .spring is lterr' to stay. 1.

Equipped with a new name and with new columns, our paper progressed and became a source of pride for every student. XVC be- came members of the Pennsylvania School Press Association, and through the active work ol' our exchange editors, Nellie l,autih and Patricia Kearns, became acquainted with many new papers in various parts of the country. Our Sodality editor. Ann Dor- sey, kept us well-informed ol' Sodality activi- ties by her outstanding column. To say, then, that we stall' members re- luctantly leave the Clathedralite in the hands of our competent juniors is a gross understatement. As one we agree that we have been repaid many times over lor the small troubles the paper has entailed. XVe shall carry the Cathedralite memoirs'l tucked away in a special corner ol' our hearts. They will always remain. Nancy Jean Hicks, 'fll FIRST CHRISTMAS You 1t'1'rr' 1't't't1f2jJml .to fl'!1tl!'l'l-V lu 1t'11il1' szvnrldlitzg r'l0ll1r'.S.
