Wisdom is seldom attained
without adeqiUate knowledge and
understanding. The general wel
fare olf (the studlent body is your
primary consideration, and so it
is essenitial &xr - you to la
compleite, accuraite persipeotive of
the desires and diffiouilities of
your school. The greatest op-
portimity in being on the Coun
cil is 'that of being in a position
to seirve. The joy in serving will
quickly surpass the honor (that
comes with holding a Council
pasitian. Yes, you are, in a
sense, a public seirvanit; but this
does not mean that the miajority
is yaur master. You have ^en
given the students’ vote of con
fidence ■— a confidence that en-
itrusts you with the welfare of
the student body. Never misuse
this trust toy ailowing personal
interests to influcince your work.
Act on carefxil thought and con

Yours is a lonely job, Annie.
One would think that with lail
the (friends you have, it would
not be so. Every minute wiljbe
precious now, for there are meet
ings it-o attend, committees on
which to serve, plans ito be made,
discipline to be executed, duties
to be iperformed. But do make
time for fellowship. And re
member, that \vheilih0r you want
it or not, many other students
will acoeipt you as their example.
Thus you have a marvelous op
portunity to inspire your fellow
students to do their best. To do
tti'is you must teve an attitude
of sincerity and wil'linigness to
work. In addition you should
recognize (that a gre^at part of
ylour responsibility involves your
dealing with other people. You
must seek to understand (them
and (to ibe sympath'etic toward
them.
Your job is a fuU-itime job,
"but do not yield ito the some
times strong temptation Ito neg
lect academic responsibilities. A
sense of equity demands thalt
you be true to yourself as wel
as Ito those around you.
Yours is ithle singular position
of spokesmlan for the entire stu-
dtent ibody. Although the respon
sibility is extraordinarily (heavy
and demanding, the opportuni-,
ties for ladhievement are limit
less. Your office 'gives you ac
cess to 'every facet of school
life, from ithe sun-ibaithtng area
ito (the President’s office. In do
ing your job well, you will gain

They are suppontdng you all ithe

Your relationshijp with the
Council is of utmost imixctaince.
Strive not for -uniformity, but
for unity in the circle. Provide

pleasure, but most of iOl I accept
it not alone but knowing that
there aire eleven others -accepting

We stand on the edge of this
vast field you have pictured with
mixed emotions — a little >proud
but far more Ihumbl^, fHled With
great expectation but also witli
great fear, wianting 'to do our
best but not quite knowing what
that is. Yes, we are insecure, and
we recognize the need of a sup

our best land we feel that each
student will do the same.
In (accepting our challenge we
would like to request the stu
dent body, the admiBistratiO(n,
and the faculty to accept us for
any merit that we mi^t have.
