The leadership of the Study Hall Committee provides us with better control of our study halls. The members of all tour classes share in the responsibility of proctoring each day. A list of proctoring assignments is posted once a week. Study Hall rules have been approved by the School As- sembly, and offenders of these rules are tried by the Com- mittee. This year the Student Council worked on several proiects. It organized an Athletic Committee to replace the Hospi- tality Committee of former years. In response to a request made by the Freshman girls it authorized a Discussion Club for them. It organized school assemblies in which money from the Student Council Fund was allocated for a sound- proot ceiling in the library as part of a proiect to improve the physical appearance of the Upper School. The school assembly passed a plan for the enforcement of school smok- ing rules, presented by the Council. The revision of the School Constitution, as foreseen by the Student Council, is under way.

This committee's main function is to keep order in the din- ing room and arrange the seating list every week, so that each pupil has a chance to become well acquainted with the other members of the school. However, at the same time the committee tries to make the dining room a cheerful place without too many rigid restrictions, so that both, the pupils and the faculty, may feel at ease and relax between the , academic hours of the clay. This year the committee intro- duced the idea of having announcements immediately after Grace and the dismissal of each table as soon as everyone there has finished eating. These aims the Dining Room Com- mittee has successfully carried out. COMMITTEE SEATED: Barbara Hurwitz, Mr. Pro- venzano, advisor, Sue Hecht, Frances Macdonald. STANDING: Beth Cheplove, James Whitehead, Ann Bridge, Debby Bleichfeld, David Bunis. ABSENT: Jane Manley. This year, as a completely new committee, the Athletic Committee has had some foundations to lay and has there- fore not yet become a well-known part of the student ac- tivities. It was organized a year ago to be responsible to the council as co-ordinator of the functions of the Athletic Department with the interests of the students and the faculty. lt accomplished several effective means of hospitality for visiting teams, started a new group of enthusiastic cheer leaders, and began what will be a three year drive for new girls' uniforms. These visible accomplishments are the results of many extensive discussions laying the groundwork for a strong committee, which will come to tie the sports program and the students more closely together. THE ATHLETIC COMMITTEE SEATED: Mrs. Mehl, advisor, Betsy Prescott, Amanda Fisk, Jane Impellitier, Mr. Mols, advisor. STANDING: Dick De- trick, Howie Maierhofer, Harold Ruslonder, Dale Casto.
