TUDE T COUNCIL The Student Council is elected by the students to facilitate and extend the rights and privileges of self- government among the student body and to represent them in dealings with the faculty and administrative officers. This year's Council, with Sam Hicks as President, had much to show for its year's efforts. They spon- sored the trip of the entire school to the football game at Mount Hermon, and they took charge of ar- rangements for the annual Christmas party for youngsters from Kurn Hattin. The Council also took responsibility for maintaining the school canteen and the pool table in the Rec room. Among the Councils other undertakings for the year was the Fall dance with Stoneleigh-Prospect and Mary Burnham girls' schools. Student meetings throughout the year gave students the opportunity to propose various improvements. These suggestions were put before the Headmaster at regular Council meetings and as a result favorable action was taken on several proposals, The indoor smokers' grove proposed by Phil Tabor became a reality after careful consideration by a faculty committee, An area was cleared and put in shape by in- terested students. The Council also backed the idea of hooking up the school TV set with the town cable so that the reception would be improved As a result a large number of students have been able to enjoy favorite' programs in their free time. The Council's most memorable achievement was the granting by the faculty of the new senior privilege making Saturday night movies optional. This highly appreciated privilege went into effect early this year.

OUTI G CLUB Oldest and largest student organization on campus, the Outing Club provides facilities for outdoor activi- ties and stimulates interest in hunting, fishing, camping, skiing, and similar pursuits. Besides running the Mountain Day program, decorating the chapel for the Candlelight Service, and managing the Winter Carni- val, the club exerted its usefulness in a variety of ways this year. The Trail Crew rebuilt the take-off of both the varsity and the 'IV jumps, strung wire for the ski hill telephone, cleared brush from ski areas, installed a new tow rope, stocked the brook with trout, and ran the Sugaring Off party among other ac- tivities. The camping program of the club included a number of over-night trips to the upper cabin near the campus as well as weekend trips to farther away places such as on the Long Trail and to the Dartmouth Outing Club cabin.
