T11 fr-ty-She THE ELCHANI T15 sanitation of the school. In the past term the S. S. has done so much to keep the school clean: it. has contrib- uted so much towards making our school a healthy place to study in that we cannot picture the school without the Saniatry Squad. The constitution provides for a Discipline Squad. It is the duty oi this body to preserve general ordel and peace amony the students of the school. It regulates the passing' of the classes between periods. keeps order during' assemblies and large meetings. and stimulates good behav- iour amongrthe students. It is the squad that enforces the acts passed by the Students Council which is the legislative body of the S. O. The Sanitary Squad and Discip- line Squad have worked hand in hand to preserve at true. wholesome spirit in the school. They have suc- ceeded to a very great degree: and even if this were the only thing which was accomplished under the direction of the S. O. it would be worthy of praise. But there is very much more to be said concerning our work. THE STUDENTS' SUPPLY STORE It is an established fact that the average Yeshivah student 's financ- ial condition is not of the best. For this reason many students found it diliicult during their high school course to provide themselves with the necessary note books and review books. This was a very serious mat- ter. and needed prompt attention. The S, O. was equal to the emergen- cy. .X Students' Supply Store was organized. This store sells note books. review books. and all other paraphernalia at such a low price that no student has any difficulty in procuring what he needs. Gradual- ly the store is beginning to add new items to its stock. XVe can forsee the day when the S. S. will be sel- ling not only school supplies. but all other articles that mieht be in de- mand. I can hardly explain the great benefit which the students have derived from the S. S. S. Suf- tice it to say that it has lifted a .great burden from the minds of many students in the school. THE D ISBATING COUNCIL The S. O. always looking out for thc interests of the students felt it necessary to provide some activity for those students who were not ath- lctically inclined. Toward this pur- pose. and also to arouse some friend- ly comptetition among' the students, the Debating' Council was organized. lflach class elects a debating' team of two men. All the teams combined form the Debating Council. A reg ular torn-nament is arranged and then the schedule is run olf. I doubt whether there is any other activity in the school. except the Elehanite which has aroused more school spirit in the students. than the debating tournament.. THE FIRST AID SOCIETY 'When we moved into the new building. and the dormitories were opened. a new problem faced the students of the school. Time and time again some fellow would get sick and would not receive the pro- per attention. At first. we could not appreciate the seriousness of the situation. but when there was an
