So it is through the close-knit organization of this group that Christian educa- tion becomes a part of the environment of every girl in the school. Working in accord with like groups at Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, and Scarritt. the Y has a rapidly spreading influence throughout Nashville and its vicinity. This year Y. W. C. A. affairs include the Tennes- see Children ' s Home within the scope of their activities. In addition to sponsoring and arranging Ward-Belmont Sunday evening Vesper services, the group also provides entertainment for the school in the form of the Y dance. the Valentine party, and memorable Peanut Week. Petite president, Elizabeth Hickerson. and her committee chair- men have combined efforts to make Y work this year equal, as well as surpass, last year ' s excellent system of organized worship.

HIGH SCHOOL COUNCIL Seated, left h h, Furrh, Dawson, Hamilton, Lackey Modern education demands adequate self-expression, as witnessed by the curricula revolutions all over the United States within the past few years in favor of democracy in the classroom as well as within the nation itself. Last year the high school at Ward-Belmont achieved the rosy splendor of an individual student council instead of inclu- sion with the college boarding council. Now, in its second year of existence, the younger organization has proved itself a most happy thought and an acknowledged success in the handling of high school discipline. Its board is com- posed of outstanding girls elected for one semester only to fulfill their important jobs to the best of their ability. Undoubtedly it is to them that the success of the organi- zation is in a large measure due. Student government at Ward-Belmont is composed of three divisions. That is, the student-elected governing bod y, an advisory body of faculty, and the administration. In the high school unit the advisory board is made up of Miss Nelle Major, a member of the high school faculty; Miss Catherine E. Morrison, sponsor of the high school hall ; and Miss Emma I. Sisson. dean of residence. OFFICERS President.

No longer do young reporters sit calmly around the Hyphen office waiting for stories to be phoned in. Their jobs begin long before then, when faithful watchdogs of coming events sniff out the news and hastily type it to meet Tuesday noon dead lines.
