The Student Council The Student Council consists of the executive and representatives. The executive—the president, vice-president, and secretary—is elected by the student body. The representatives—two from each room—are elected by the individual clas ses. All elections are held early in October. The Council acts as co-ordinator for all student activities. It plans the socials, sponsors student fund drives, as well as inter-collegiate sport. Each year the Council organizes two main social events: the Hallowe’en party, at which the freshies are initiated, and the Christmas banquet, an event of a more dignified nature. This year the Student Council sponsored the Curtes Magazines Sales Campaign. It was a fairly successful venture thanks to the enthusiastic sup¬ port of the students. The major project for the year has been the amendment of the constitution. After much con¬ centrated effort, the school now has a solid, nine page document. Then also, basketball and curling are student projects. Both boys’ and girls’ teams have helped to promote basketball into a financially profitable enterprise. The Council has had a fairly successful year and a big part has been played by the student body who has shown a tremendous interest in council activities. I would like to thank all you kind people for buying the yearbooks. I would like to further thank those of you who read it. 29
