Hetherington Commercial Students Fay Murphy, Josephine Jennings Bookkeeping Student Elspeth Allan Grade XII. Students Blanche Hackett, Vera Stuart Music . Alice Lawrence Members of Faculty H. Fisher, Phyllis H. Woods T HE editors have had many trying and educational ex¬ periences in the production of the college annual. The staff was fortunate in being able to obtain much information regarding the pecuniary statements of the paper from the editors of the previous year. Worthy mention must be made to the Grade XII. students who helped the staff to compile the substance. We also appreciated the work which Mr. McKerlie did on the Advertisement Committee. The term “Dux femina faciti” can best express the thanks to Vera Stuart and Blanche Hackett for their assistance. The staff itself, though starting late in the season, worked well together, and hope the paper will be a success. PIANO SUPREME!

Elspeth Allan Jennie Johnstone Staff Miss Woods Miss Woods Mr. Fisher Mr. Fisher The Students’ Council is an elected executive which controls the corporate life of the college and students. It is composed of its own members together with the Presidents of the various societies and one representative appointed by each President. It has control of a council fund, exacted from those re¬ siding in the College, with which it keeps a supply of ath¬ letic equipment, as well as to meet expenses incurred by the various social activities of the students. A treasurer keeps records of all incomes and expendi¬ tures, and these records together with those of last year’s council have proven themselves very helpful during the year. We hope that future councils will improve on our work from year to year, that we might look back and call ours, a college for advancement in every respect.
