Old and new members of the Young Democrats Club of St. Ylary’s met in the Hut Tuesday night, October, 30, for the purpose of electing new officers and an ad visor. Miss Sara Esther Jones was unanimously elected the advisor for this year. She is taking the place of Miss Elizabeth Tucker, who has been the advisor for the club for several years. The new officers are as follows: Matilda Gholson, presi dent; Anita Strickland, vice-presi dent; Ann Farmer, secretary; and Barbara McKenzie, treasurer. The Young Democrats Club will undertake projects during the year to aid the Democratic Party and to enable girls at St. Marj^’s to be better future members of the party. Following the business, a picnic supper was served to everyone. The chainnan of Hall Council then takes the petition to Miss Richard son, and together they talk to Dr. Stone. If he approves the petition, he signs it. It then goes into effect two months later. This year is a trial year for the Legislative Body in its new form of organization. Used in the proper manner, the Legislative Body, is a fine way for the student body, rath er than merely voicing its opinion, to petition for its rights of self-gov ernment; yet, last year there were only seven petitions the entire year. So far this year, there has been only one opinion in the school which has been more than voiced.
