THE LION ' S ROAR tTf Iff TOP ROW: R. Ponting, S. Beale, V. Lisson. SECOND ROW: P. Perell, J. Brimer, S. Tritton, S. Henderson, G. Dingledine. BOTTOM ROW: C. Cudmore, Mr. Coggins, B. Gilmour, Editor; J. Ceci- lioni, C. Ratcliff. The Lion ' s Roar in the hands of an enthusiastic staff, underwent rr.any changes in its third year of publication. Mr. Agony came to the rescue of the problem - ridden readers, and Prudence Famous, Aldershot ' s own 00007 spy, recaptured stolen goods, es- caped the Chinese Mofia and swam the Eng- lish Channel for serial fans. On the serious side, the Science Corner and math puzzles appealed to the intellectuals. Major changes in the format of the paper grew from a visit to McMaster Univer- sity, as Mr. Coggins and four members of the Lion ' s Roar staff attended a Press Night of the Mac Silhouette. Revised columns and headlines appeared in following issues. The Lion ' s Roar supported the green and gold in the high school newspaper con- test which was sponsored and judged by McMaster University students. With the controversies of ' 64 - ' 65 dis- sected and examined, the Lion ' s Roar staff is ready to handle material of the on- coming school year. 39

THE LION ' S DEN TOP ROW: G. Field, B. Love, P. Hendrie, D. Lawson, R. Ponting, S. Beale, N. Gallo, B. Hazel- ton, D. Wilson, D. Gilchrist, P. Perell, E. Luxon. SECOND ROW: Mr. Johnson, D. Lees, B.

Keenan, M. McMillan, C. Ratcliff. Among the most important Council ach ievements this year were the new dance regulations and spring elections. 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

SCIENCE CLUB TOP ROW: Mr. B. Page, Staff Advisor; J. Barker, K. McLeod, S. Beal, G. Dingledine, Mr. E. Harry. BOTTOM ROW: S. Roberts, K. Unsworth, R. Laking. The Science Club started off this year ' s activities with a dance: The Second Annual Cosmic Carousel. This provided money to finance this year ' s Science Fair projects which were displayed April 1, 2 and 3 at the McMaster Drill Hall. Eleven projects were dis- played and on Saturday night, as usual, the exhibitors appropriated enough money to have Chinese dinner at the Tien Kue Inn. Our second meeting brought a doctor from the Hamilton General Hospital to speak on Cancer research. Future meetings were planned for the benefit of project members - a practice which will not be followed next year: our meetings are to be open. At the Science Fair our group placed second in the overall awards, second to Nel- son: another practice which we hope will not be followed next year. Ken McLeod and Kathy Unsworth both won second place awards in their respective categories; Ron Laking, Gary Dingledine and Stuart Beal all won first awards; Stu and Gary won the first and second overall awards respectively, and went to St. Louis, Missouri, where Stu went on to win two special awards one from the U.S. Army and one from the Atomic Energy Commission, as well as a fourth of 83 pro- jects in his category. Aldershot can be proud of such a fine showing from this year ' s Science Club.
