The Student Volunteers To every young person comes, at some time or other the question that all must answer, What shall 1 do with my life? Twenty-three of the students of Westminster have answered this question by volunteering for the Foreign Mis- sion service in answer to the great commission of the Master, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. These students have signified that it is their purpose, if God permit, to spend their lives in service in foreign lands for 1 lim. The regular meetings of the band are held every Monday evening and these meetings prove a source of Christian fellowship to all. Frequently open meetings are held on Sabbath evenings to which all who are interested in Missions are in- vited. There is a strong feeling of interest in Missions among many of the students. To the students of the present generation comes the great challenge for service. There is a great work yet to be done and the force now at Vvork is totally inade- quate to carry out the task. Let all who are true Christians — Pray the Lord of the harvest that he will thrust forth laborers into His harvest. Eighty-four

The Student Council The Student Council Committee is an organization composed of members from the student body whose main purpose is to serve as the point of contact be- tween the student body and the administration. Besides functioning in this ca- pacity, the committee has charge of problems arising from the student body. This year it has done a valuable work in bringing about various regulations concerning the wearing of athletic letters. Although this organization has only existed for two years, yet in that time its achievements have sufficiently justified its existence and we are sure that it will continue to play an important part in the New Westminster. m Eighty-five
