STUDENT GOVERNMENT The school monitors and the Class Committees of the younger classes serve as the leaders of student government. However, it is part of the mission of the school to develop in every student a sense of responsibility to and for the community. It should be one of your aims to be a cooperative and constructive citizen in your new environment. The central agency of self-government at Taft is the monitorial staff, a group of 10 to 12 seniors elected by their class. Students who have demonstrated special qualities of leadership and high character, the monitors implement the Honor System, assist in the supervision of the dormitories, and accept a large share of the responsibility for the day-to-day conduct of the school’s affairs. Class Committees for the lower three classes are elected twice each year, first in January and again at the end of the school year. Committees are elected by the members of each class, and the committee chair is elected from among those elected to the committee. Monitors are elected in May before their senior year by the rising Senior Class. The entire student body elects the head monitor. Monitors will serve for their entire senior year. In January a few additional monitors will be elected. Leadership, of course, carries responsibilities, and students who are on Probation will not be eligible for election. If sitting committee members or monitors are placed on Probation during their term of office, they will forfeit their position of leadership. Students whose Probation period has ended will again be eligible to stand for election. The headmaster, class deans and others they wish to consult will decide questions about eligibility. All classes are given valuable experience in self-government through participation in an elected Class Committee. As students progress through the school, they are awarded a greater share of the privileges and responsibilities of democratic living. Thus, through a natural and gradual process, students develop a sense of personal and group responsibility that is recognized in the senior year by a substantial measure of self-government.
