To all the teachers I would like to express my sincere thanks for their forbearance, for their patience, for their understanding and finally for the help they have been in giving my education a very solid foundation. To B.C.I. I wish every success and prosperity. As other former students do I will watch its progress with intense interest and avail myself of every opportunity 'LO return. -DONALD BEVERLEY, President. STUD ENT COUNCIL ACTIVITIES Although Don's period as President of the Council was brief, a great deal was accomplished. Don was an energetic and popular president, one who re- alized his campaign promises. As well as carrying on the usual work that be- falls the Council annually, he was largely responsible for the purchase of rugby sweaters for the school teams. This is the first time that the school has supplied any part of the uniforms for the players. Don excelled in social activities. A very successful masquerade party was carried out again last fall and then something unheard of before marked the close of Don's career in B.C.I.-the Christmas Closing Dance. He was again chiefly responsible for the high standard, and success of this singular event. 'During Don's presid- ency the inauguration of the annual choosing of a Head Boy and Head Girl was discussed and planned and later carried out by the council this spring. Although our presidents come and go, we must not forget that part of our council remains from year to year, namely the advisory members and the secretary-treasurer. Miss Kelso, teacher in charge of the Girls' Athletics. is always ready to uphold the rights of the girls, with good sound advice. Miss Shiell, advisory teacher to the Literary Society, is directly associated with the high social and literary standard of the school. Mr. Cockburn. teacher in charge of the Boys' Athletics, is invaluable as a council member, Mr. Heath, secretary-treasurer, shoulders the labours of the minute book and ever fluctuating cash book. His discussion in the council problems is always influential. ' -DOUGLAS MUIR, Acting-President.

Owing to the fact that the size of the Literary Depart- 'ment had to be reduced from that of last year, a.ll contribu- tions could not be printed, However, to all those who submits ted .ma.teria.l, Thank you! .A Brief Message From the President This year, as in other years, the Literary Society has been busy with many iactivities. Commencement was the first big 'program of the year, and added ,greatly to the school funds. At Christmas time, we had our first Christmas Closing Dance, a very pleasant experiment for this school. 'ln January were held the boys' and girlsl oratorical contests which were larger this year than usual, as there was at least one speaker from each of the middle and upper- rschool forms for each contest. 'In February and March, much time and effort were spent on the operetta, under the direction of the Literary Society. In April, Wil'son MacDonald 'came to the school and gave a recital of his poems. which was open to the students and outsiders for a small charge. These were the main activities of the Society, besides having its 'regular meetings iwhicn 'were not 'so regular J. I am glad 'to have this opportunity of thanking all those students who so willingly gave their co-operation in any undertaking, for l feel that any suc- cess which the Literary Society has achieved is entirely due to them. L-Genevieve Crossland. Senior Literary Society October the eighteenth was just another day to Lower School, but To Middle and Upper it stood for the gala opening of Senior Literary Society meetings. We are indeed fortunate in having three 'prominent .girls of the school at the head of the society: Genevieve Crossland, Rosabel Lay and 'Thelma Clark as President, Vice-President and Secretary respectively. All three girls were on the platform at the opening of curtain. After O Canada each made a pleasing speech: pleasing because each one was as brief as it was well-worded. The audience humored by such short preliminaries fwhat audience likes to be kept waiting?J settled back to thoroughly enjoy the first entertainment' of the year. Judging from the Hdramatis personae of the various committees, the program promised to be good. To get us in the mood we were favoured first by the school quartette lD.M., V.K., E.B.J singing Voice in the Old Village Choir. The heavy part of the program, a debate, followed. Phyllis Shannon and Margaret Hinds of HIC contended that comic strips in the newspapers are beneficial and Lloyd Judd and Margaret Gribble of IIID, their opponents, undertook to prove that ltisn't so. According to Miss Shiell, 'who reported the judges' decision, they succeeded. Mary Shrubsole entertained us most delightfully with two violin solos, because we weren't satisfied until we had given her an encore. Judging from the exuberance manifested by those in the ring-side for stage-Sider seats the play The Jest of Hahalaba'
