For the first time in the history of the School a new branch of student government, the Monitor Board, was inaugurated last fall. Some of the important responsibilities of the former Prefect Boards now fall upon this group which is composed of every full Sixth Form boy who has had at least two years in the School. One of the main purposes of the new plan was to give to every member of the Sixth Form the prestige and influence that should naturally be his. Among the Monitors' duties are the inspection at bed hour, the maintenance of order on the cor- ridors after bells, and the per- formance of such other duties as may be delegated to them by Prefects or Masters. Their out- standing responsibility is not, how- ever, the discharge of these specific duties, but rather that they by their influence and authority, and most of all by their example, main- tain to the best of their ability the traditions of the School. The privileges of the Monitors are two in number: the right to keep lights on one hour after the light bell at night and the exemp- tion from task work for all de- merits under twenty. Remedying an old injustice, namely the failure to include on the Prefect Board boys who de- served the honor and privilege no less than some members of the board, and drawing its strength from one of the strongest Sixth Forms in the history of the School, the first Board of Monitors shared a great deal of the responsibility for this successful school year.

CHARLES COVELL Clraplain 17141 fiaief 69072617 The Chapel Council, organized over two decades ago, has yearly grown in prestige, and its influence in the School has become increas- ingly manifest. Besides its support of the Wed- nesday evening prayer services, the Council, through voluntary con- tributions, sends two boys to the Blue Ridge Industrial School who would not otherwise receive the benefits of such an education, gives funds towards the sending to ,camp in the summer of several of the Boy Scouts in Orange, and pro- vides Christmas boxes for those in the neighboring communities who need them. It also aids Mr. Covell, the Chaplain, and Mr. John Walker in the selections of ministers. The Chapel Council thus carries on the all - important religious part of school life.
