STUDENT COUNCIL . . . Parliaments, Congresses, Assemblies, Councils- these are representative bodies of the people and the peoplels will. They are the debaters, the law-makers, the guiding hands of the great World machine called Government. What better way is there to prepare to face this responsibility of self- government than through its counterpart, our own Student Council. Here, under the leadership of Seniors, Carole Niddrie, President, Maria Sepcich, Leon Harris, and Steve Miller, the Student, Council discusses the problems of the Student Body in a democratic fashion, and seeks to improve the position of the students in the school. 5 umemv funn- P Q., Q ..... . iff Q H 1 aim 557 gf f M X nu 7f-AZ,-5 y SERVICE SQUAD . . .

For years the mispronunciation of such well- known French phrases as Parlez-vous francaise? has been the password dis- tinguishing French students. However, at French Club meetings Mrs. Dorothy Meske has endeavored to teach the members how to speak French more fluently and with less self-consciousness. French ofhcials may change, but the French Club's have remained the same this year. Robert Parker is President, Maureen Sutherland, Vice-president, Adrienne Coe, Secretary, David Thomas, Treasurer.
