tie 0 ev School informed about Band activities in general and Concerts in particular. Finally, Library Repre- sentative Pittman submitted accounts of the actions and progress of the School Library. From the Student Body the question has arisen, What good will we receive from it? The answer is that the Student Council tries to provide for activities which will not conflict with the C. Y. O. and other parish meetings and dances. It gives boys an idea of what self-government means. The patrolling of the hallways during the school day is an example of this. Students themselves have supervision of the hallways subject to the Student Council. Like any new organization the Student Council has not yet achieved perfection. Perhaps in years to come others can build on the foundations that have been laid this year, so that self-government learned in school years may be carried over effectively into adult life. STUDENT COUNCIL Standing: Joe Elsbury, Emmett McGeever, Father Dwyer, Dick Suter, Charles Choyce, Bill Pittman, Al Smith. Sitting: George Glauser, Ed Ponthier, Pat O'Connell, Frank Hoffman. s sw,

William Pittman FATHER DWYER PAT O'CONNELL Faculty Representative President After the problems . . . solutions ln September, l945, serious discussion began regarding the formation of a group which would promote closer relationships between Faculty and students at Saint Thomas. This plan was suggested by Father W. J. Dwyer who had had previous experience with such a group elsewhere. This organization, calling itself the Student Council, would act as a means for better understand- ing of Faculty problems by students and student problems by Faculty. Under its guidance students could help promote whatever projects required the united effort of the Student Body. Misdemeanors, too, could be handled by the Council, once the members unanimously agree on the procedure. C. Choyce, G. Glauser, F. Hoffman, A. Smith, J. Elsbury, E. Ponthier, E. McGeever, and W. Pitt- man were selected to form the first Council. Pat O'Connell was elected President. His task was to promote and to report on social activities. The other Council members represented the Sodality, Missions collections, publications, sports, Band, and Library. President O'Connell called meetings for the promotion of dances, proms, and School parties. Sodality Representative Choyce enlisted the Council's aid in connection with the Sodality reception in October and the conducting of the weekly Sodality meetings. Missions Representative Hoffman submitted reports on funds collected and missions needing help. Publications Representative Mc- Geever saw to the publicizing of the Council's activities. Sports Representatives Glauser and Ponthier endeavored to boost student attendance at athletic contests. Band Representative Elsbury kept the TUDENT CDUNCIL
