2 THE GARNET AND WHITE EDITORIAL Last year the Co-operative Council was organized as a means of creating a unity of spirit throughout the school. Made up of members from both the student body and the faculty it served as a true connecting link between the two. This year the Council has been started well on its way. It has always tried to work for the very best interest of the school, and, as a result, has won the respect and the co-operation of the majority of the students. Effective work has been accomplished by the Council in dealing with school prob- lems. A thorough monitor system man- ages the corridor traffic; student lieutenants take charge of classes in the teachers’ ab- sence; the form of discipline in some cases of misbehavior has been suggested by the Council. Its efforts to secure better chapel order have been successful. Another very important step has been the institution of Interscholastic Confer- ences. This plan was started at the sugges- tion of Mr. Oldham and is designed to promote better relationship between the schools of the county. The two confer- ences already held were composed of stu- dent and faculty representatives from the most important county schools. Resolu- tions such as those for the furthering of fairer and more standard athletics were passed. School problems were discussed and valuable suggestions offered. We be- lieve that already there is beginning to exist among the schools a greater spirit of unity and interest. We are planning to continue these meetings next year, and they promise to be very successful. The Co-operative Council is in a posi- tion where it can, through lack of interest, weaken in the future and pass out of exis- tence, or it can, through earnest support, be gradually strengthened until it becomes the wonderful, ideal factor in school govern- ment for which we are hoping. You have seen what has already been accomplished through it and you can foresee what may be effected through an organization of this character. Surely it deserves a continuance and an increase of your loyal backing— surely to improve it is a worthy aim for which to work. May those of us who are leaving our Alma Mater this June feel that you who remain will still respect and up- hold the democratic agency which ’23 and '24 have tried to establish, and may be assured that it will continue permanently to live and grow and accomplish the most good for the greatest number! Before the staff resigns its work we wish to express our appreciation of the valuable assistance of all those who have helped to make the publication of the GARNET AND White possible. We are very grateful for the financial support which our advertisers have given us, and we trust that they have been more than repaid by an increase of business. We thank the subscribers to our magazine and those who have read and commented upon it. We are grateful to the students for the material which they have submitted and to the Faculty Advisors who have given us help in preparing our issues. The editor wishes to thank the staff for its co-operation and faithful work during the entire year. It has certainly put forth an earnest effort to make the magazine a success. We sincerely hope that our publications, especially this Commencement Number, will be worthy souvenirs of our High School days, and we wish the undergrad- uates all the success possible with the GAR- NET AND WHITE next year. We trust they will improve the work wherever we may have fallen short of the best.
