ST. JOHN'S STUDENT COUNCIL Buck Row- E. Bruder J. Naylor E. Barrett J. XVilson Middle Rotcg F. Donaghy D. Morton M, Morton R. Wells G. Bruder J. Johnson Iron! RQLU4 G, Phillips J. Rogers K. Cheyne K. Bolton E. Smith N. Holmes R. Swain HE Students' Council of St. John's College experienced a very successful business year in 1931-32. As was the case in the previous year the largest part of its work has been in con- nection with the constitution. Owing to the admis- sion of women students to the college it has become necessary to admit their sharing in student govern- ment along with the men. The question was de- bated whether an organization separate from that of the men should be formed. but it was finally agreed that until the co-ed body should have had more experience in student affairs and an increase in numbers. they had best work in conjunction with the men students. Other changes in the constitution include election of the treasurer for the succeeding year by the retir- ing council and making students of one year's resi- dence eligible for the office of Senior Student, pro- vided they qualify in other respects. The question of awards for leadership in sport and executive work has at last been solved. Previ- ously, the only award given for athletics has been the Schultz trophy. It has been decided that an Award Committee shall be appointed each year to decide on the distribution of crests for sports and of pins for executive work. The student body has doubled in the past year and the problem of accom- modation has afforded considerable difficulty. The former reading room was turned into the co-ed's corner and the downstairs classroom changed into a common room. Later on it was realized that there was no common room Where men and women stu- dents could mingle in the one group and so the men's common room was opened as a general sitting and reading room. The council has done everything within its power to foster all extra-curricular activities. The pro- gress made by the Library Committee. the Debating Society and Dramatic Society could not have been made without the loyal support of the student bodv to the council. It has been much to the credit of the senior student. K. C. Bolton. and the president of the Ladies' Committee. Miss K. Cheyne, that the Hrst year of co-education has been such an unquali- fied success. Page One Hundred and Eighly-one
