The new rules, which make it consider- ably easier for non-Aldershot students to attend our dances, were drafted by a commit- tee headed by Jane Reed. Several weeks of planning were needed before rules acceptable to both the Student Council and the Teaching Staff were establish- ed. Provision was made for dances af- ter night-basketball games which have be- come so popular at Aldershot. Bonny Hall first Richard Wood President suggested spring elections and this year they were put into effect for the first time. In fu- ture Aldershot will have a Student Council ready to take over on the first day of school in September, and the slack period of about a month will be eliminated. At Christmas both the gymnasium pro- gramme and the charity drive were well re- ceived. The articles colle cted in the charity drive were donated to a welfare organization who distributed them to needy families in this area. Likewise Orphan Week was a great suc- cess with the donations far exceeding the planned objective. None of this would have been possible, however, without the support of the entire Council and the staff advisors, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Cantlon. I would like to thank them and everyone else who made this year so suc- cessful. Richard Wood 38
