WE CHOOSE .. STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Once again, Milne must choose its
president for th: coming yecr. It's
alwsys o diffucu lt thing to decide upon
the respective merits of each candidate
and vote fairly and squerely. J.st as
there are grty nolitics in the netion-
1. elections, si have ve influences from
the various schv»)] cliquese
Now student government is a diffi-
cult task, since it includes the balunc-
ing of the budget, the direct or indi-~
rect manugement of all social affairs
of the school, and the handling of all
questions concerning conduct. Therefore,
(1) The president of the school and the
Student Council must of necesséity be
One who can make cool, calm, judgements,
thus influencing oll major and minor
decisions of the council. (2) He must
be well-liked by the students «nd facul-
tyas a whole, thereby insuring the har~
monious cooperztion of all, (3) He must
be able to teke on new responsibilities
without relinquishing the old, since
his scholastic work and other extra-
curriculer cetbydtiies mst not suifer.
These cre the mest important requisites
of a good leader=-but, meny will «ask,
"How can we tel] who is best fitted?"
Now, we all went the best man to
win, really more for the good of the
school than for what is his due, since
[voi TE Mimber 3), pa)
only a responsible person cin hold
such G position successfully. But the
only recl woy we my judge who can meet
these requirements best is to tike cn
secount of the nominee's past deeds, cand
they need not have anything to do with
the Student Council. «sk yourself if
your fcvorite candidute is trustworthy,
& hard-worker, fcithful, likeable, and
level-headed, Then, if he is, vote for
him by all means.
PLEASLNT MEMORIES
It is almost time to bid our Senior
el:.ss goodbye and so, perhaps we h..d
better take one lest look at them. Miny
of us probably wonder how it feels to
be on the verge of being graduated, and
to be spending last days and hours where
we heve hed so wm.ay pleasant times. fut
for seniors to hcve really pleasant
memories ¢ great deel of ci.reful plannine
is necessary.
The motto "pleasant memories must
be carefully plcenned for" ought to be
tcken into sonsicerition by the unders
griductes s> that when thoy finish
high school they, too, will have pleas-
ant memories, but that pleasant memcries
are the direct result of cureful plannin:
of what you wish to do, und a real
choice of how to spend your leisure time
«mond the Senttors there have been
some outst:nding eximples of those who
planned ccrefully what extra-curricular
ectivigies they would enguge in and who
will be cble to look back upon their higi
school days with pleasure and satis-
faction. I am tninking of those who
have given their time, energy, and inter-
est to the promotion of athletics, to the
carrying on of the Student Council, to
the publishing of the Crimson and White
end the furtherance of the activities
of the clubs and societies. Let us <1]
take heed, and learn from their example
to choose wisely and plcen carefully
for our coming year at Milne. - Gt
