Student Council A. Kuhn: V. Gleavesg I.. jacobs: C. Bahlke: XY. Kornhanser: ll. llullenq ll. Raymondg D. Rumlg D. McBride: l'. l'ortis. ln the past the Student Council has spent a large amount of time discussing and amending the constitution and the by-laws. This year the Council felt that some changes were necessary. These changes consisted in regulating the fall and spring elections and in making and putting into force a rule for regulating attendance at the Council meet- ings. The fall elections were changed so that all organizations holding elections in the fall could combine these elections and hold them in the second week of the fall quarter. The Council President was placed in charge of this election. These changes go into effect in the fall of I9-12. The spring elections were regulated so that all the major offices will be elected before any minor of- fices. This will prevent the confusion of the past. . . . Council in session 18 During the year the Council also allotted the activities funds. regulated the spring so- cial calendar, and put on a Council Carnival. The Council debated whether the proceeds of the carnival should go to the war effort or to charity. The members decided that all the proceeds should go to the Hyde l'ark Neigh- borhood Club and to the Cniversity of Chi- cago Settlement. These charities are consid- ered very important and have. in the past, depended on the contributions from the Council Carnival. After the carnival had been put on, the question of what the school could do towards the war effort was brought up, discussed at great length, and favorably acted upon.

Phi Beta Sigma Phi Beta Sigma, the honorary society of the Four Year College. has had a very event- ful year. The officers were Stanley Coombs, president: George Daskal, treasurerg and Eleanor Tibbetts, secretary. ln the fall new members from the twelfth grade were selected. They received the tra- ditional informal and formal initiation. Later in the fall a dinner was given for members of all four years of the Four Year College. ln February the members gave a roller skat- ing party for the eleventh and twelfth grades in Ida Noyes Gym. Phi Bete planned to give a dance in spring, but some of the members objected to this on the basis that Phi Bete was not acting or spending its money in ac- cordance with its purpose. After much dis- cussion it was decided not to have a dance but to use the money for a more worthwhile undertaking. Also the informal initiation of neophytes was abandoned. Near the end of school the members held their annual picnic. This was, as always, a favorite and very successful. Gargoyle The Gargoyle, the Four Year College mag- azine. got off to a difficult start this year when no one would take the editorship be- cause of heavy school work. However, l.ois Goldstein assumed the position and under her capable management a successful issue has been published. The staff, composed of Alice Sheehan, Eleanor Tibbetts, Catharine Hopkins, Arlene Kohn, and Stanley Coombs, met every Tues- day afternoon to make plans for the maga- zine. At first, very little cooperation was re- ceived from the rest of the student body, but as the date of publication approached, arti- cles and stories Hooded the Gargoyle office. After much hard work by the staff and its contributors, the very successful magazine made its appearance on May l8. and was re- ceived enthusiastically by everyone. E. Tibbettsg A. Sheehang A.
