Editorials , sports news, bits (i school gossip, book reviews, sto- les and poems by both High School Lid Kiementary students are In- luileil I" the latest issue. Among le several well written articles | e die following: he Student Council—Ill ' s Yours! The Student Council of Chatham Igli is now celebrating Its 12th rihduy, having been organized in 137. This organization is com- iseil of 12 members, two from each t the supper six .grades. One class mresentatlve and the president at- tain! these meetings. The purpose of the Student Coui.-| cil 1B to act as a voice for the stu- dents in governing the school . The only actual requirement is a "c" average or better In the mem- ber's studies. This council meets each Thurs- day morning at 8:30 with the prin- cipal to discuss and take action on school affairs. Between classes, In rotating groups of four, all mem- bers serve as monitors to direct traffic In the corridors. Wherever school functions are held, your Student Council representatives are present. They welcome all V IB- itlmj athletic teams and act as hosts. They represent the school , and, therefore, It Is their duty to act honorably at all times, Many benefits are derived from this organization. From UB treas- ury come the prizes tor the spell- ing bees or declaration contests. Each year the Student Council gives an award to the boy or girl who has done the most tor the school. It pnys for the varsity let- ters for basketball and baseball and the ribbons for Field Day. Your Student Council sponsors all school sports as well . The following officers and mem- bers are carrying on the Council's activities for the year 1948-49: President, Donald Howes, '49; vice-president , Juck Stacy, '50; Secretary-treasurer, Richard Doane, '53; representatives—Seniors, Don- uld Howes , Esther Larkin; Juniors, Jack Stacy, Roland Kelly; Sopho- mores, Ralph Bearse, Joanne Nick- erson; Freshmen, Carla Smith, Odessa Chuse ; eighth, Richard Donne, Murlene Bassett; Seventh , Deborah Kent, John Ryder. The Student Council , however , cannot function correctly without the whole-hearted support of the entire student body. Look around you. Is anything amiss? If BO , tell your class Student Council repre- sentative about it. He'll bring it before the council for action . This Student Council is yours ; so use it! —E. I. L„ '49. What Is the Greatest High School Honor? What honor is the greatest in High school IB a debatable subject. First , let us consider the student who is outstanding In athletics, who 1B responsible for the school town 's "bringing home the bucon" time after time. In the minds of his schoolmates he is a hero, looked up to by all the ':klds " In the lower grades. Then, there are certain coveted titles in school representing posi- tions which it ia an houor to hold. Let's list a few of these: Class president, president of the Student Council, president of the Dramatic Guild, editor-in-chief of the school paper , captain of the baseball , bas- ketball and football teams. Just bow great the student Is in these offices depends upon what he puts into that particular type of service. How about the honor student who has gone through four years of high school breaking records and astounding classmates and his teachers by his brilliance? Has he worked ror the school or for him- self? To me the student deserving highest honors In his four years of high school life is the tioy or girl who has the best all-round record of active , unselfish participation in all worth-while school activities. HI B loyalty to his school, his will- ingness to serve others, and his pride in scholastic standing entitle such a student to highest honors. —D. H., *49. CHATHAM NEWS | DR.

With Our Cape Cod Summer Residents To the Editor of The Barnstable Patriot: There has been so much written about zoning and the Pearl Street episode and so much blame cast upon this or that department of our Town, that I feel I would like to clarify the facts from tho knowl- edge I have acquired relating to both. Since zoning the Town rests up- on a Legislative Enabling Act ; adopted by our Town in 1928 , some- ' timeB referred to as the "Interim Statute," the burden of spot zon- ing has rested entirely in our Se- lectmen Bitting as a Board of Zon- ; ing. Prior to the adoption of this Act in 1928, the Town bus no zon- ing laws whatever and no pro- tection was afforded our land own- ers—one person being permitted to establish a gasoline filling station on u lot next door to another per- son owning an expensive homo, which exact situation one may find existing in our Town today. Albougb this Act Is faulty in many instances, nevertholoss, It did pre- vent the occurrence of such things and did afford our land owners some degree of protection , for it compelled any person thereafter to make application for a variance of a parcel rrom residence to busi- ness and a public hearing had to bo held botore the Selectmen as a Board of Zoning. When tho Act was first passed by our State Legislature, und at tho time of its adoption by our Town , ,ln 1928 , when a parcel of land was varied from residence to business , the Board of Zoning could not re- strict It to uny particular specific typo of business. Ono could apply for a variance in order to operate a public tonnis court (not BO ob- jecttonnblo), but after securing such variance one could tborouftor operate tiny business , oven n res- taurant (which 1B vory objection- able In many localities I. By a inter amendment, the Act wus changed to permit the Zoning Board to rogu- lute and/or restrict tho variance to a particular, specific typo of busi- ness und tho hours during which it could be carried on.Tbls change was of valuable importance to tho Board and highly beneficial to our Town. However , the Zoning Board still bus to determine whether or not to grunt this variance, and In BO do- ing must necoBBurily rely upon the evidence presented to it at a pub- lic hearing and can, in this man- ner, vory often be misled or im- I posed upon UB happened in the Myoi-B variance on Pearl Street. At the public hearing on tbu Myers vnriunce, which was well attended; and at which bearing there were inuiiy objectors to tho granting or tho variance , evidenco WUB Intro- duced through ono of our Town's Departmental heads by Btatomonts from the floor and by plati B and ami pictures Hint tho building pro- posed to ho elected consisted of u one-story building of tapestry brick with stone facings around windows und doorwuys; with large plate gbiBB Bhow windows on Pearl Street for the display ot suites of furniture; loading und unloading platforms In the rear sheltered and concealed; and the balance of the plot of land hardened and laid out for parking facilities for employees. This was unquestionably a beauti- ful building with well laid out grounds which would be an asset i to Main Street und or no detri- mental valuo to Pearl Street, and surely not seriously objectionable to anyone rrom the Zoning Donrd'u point or view. The variance wus granted on thin and other substan- tial evidenco. Shortly after the variance had been granted , those plans for the beautiful building und layout or ground were discurdod , they having been apparently pro- pared elaborately and deliberately for the benefit of the Zoning Board and those In attendance at tho hearing only, and construction wau commenced on the present mon- strosity. One could well ask, and rightly so, could not the Zoning Hoard huve done soothing to prevont the continuance of the present con- struction when thoy first discover- ed that It did not conform with the facts and evidence given at tho hearing. It is this writer 's humble opinion thai thoy could have stoppod this construction through Injunctive powers und called the parties to account, but it would have luvolved the Town In ex- pensive and long drawn out litiga- tion and the censor of ono or moro persons. Whatever elso might bo said con- cerning this entire Pearl Street episode, It is something that could not happen If those concerned placed the Interest and welfare of our Town above personal loot and gain , and had our Town before this late date, approved and adopted some comprehensive Zoning plan which would have almost elimi- nated the opportunity und chance ror unscrupulous actions and deeds on the part of individuals, und alleveviated and relieved the tre- mendous burden ot zoning de- cisions now resting wholly upon our Selectmen as a Board of Zon- ing. It behooves all of us to attend the coming annual town meeting and enter Into the discussion and consideration of the article In the warrant calling for a comprehen- sive plan of zoning to insure UB that such a thing as the Pearl Street affair can never again hap- pen in our Town. !
