Rolfe.

Every democracy lias, in addition to an executive body, an organized group of representatives of the great masses of people who otherwise would have no voice in their government. Ward-Belmont College has such a plan in effect under the title of the Student Council. Three such organizations are maintained for the benefit of college boarders, day students, and the high school boarding stu-

Council is perhaps the most powerful, no doubt rightly so, for it represents the majority of the students. Its officers, elected by the student body and approved by the administration for a term of one year, must be girls of outstanding ability. Proctors of the various halls and of the chapel

The work of the staff of such a book is not only to set down the history of the year but to make that history as modern and alive as it is possible for it to become. To this end, has industrious Elaine Kent bent all her efforts so that the student body as well as her own staff might realize and appreciate that fact. This year the staff members chose the theme of the modern motion picture theatre as a typical means of presenting "the

MATHEMATICS CLUB? Once upon

time a mathematics teacher in a school grouped together scientifically-minded students, taught them how to bridge, chess, checkers, toss dice, pitch play pennies, and conduct school surveys, and so Math Club was born.

good-natured Josephine Sparks and a cabinet composed of Anita Williamson, vice-president; Carlene Rice, secretary; Mary Elizabeth Masengill, boarding student treasurer; Mary Frances Charlton, day student treasurer Mary Bauman, sergeant at arms. The month of December was a busy one for SeniorMiddles. The fourth of the month brought them out in all the glorv of purple sweaters and white pork-pie hats to witness the defeat of their team in a hard-fought battle with the more adept Senior hockey team. Six days later, the Senior-Middles, bearing no grudge, honored the Seniors, as well as the faculty, with a coffee in beautiful Acklen Hall. Yet the Senior-Middles had had their own private entertainment November 18. Best formals were pressed, sandals were redyed. and stray locks were set in shining splendor for the Senior-Middle dance which proved a great success. ;

Blustery March was the occasion for the nautical but nice Senior-Senior-Middle banquet which lauded the efforts and achievements of the Seniors in a most seaworthy fashion. The thirteenth day of April brought the Seniors a challenge from their younger sisters in the form of all-day Class loyalty ran high, recreation in a variety of sports. according to tradition, although the Seniors marched triumphantly off with top honors. As a class. College '41 has done very well for itself. Fidelity.

Nancy Deen and Louise Jahncke. just as there are bound to be students and faculty who cannot forget the triumphs of Virginia Love Graves, Ethel Butterweck, Jessie Osment, Gerda Wootten. Shirley Allison, and the like. A most promising bunch of newcomers, they should prove themselves within the next year worthy of the notice given them in 1940. Page One Hundred Thirty
