Carleton College Year Book 1944-45 19 1 Students On November 20th, at the first meeting of the Class Representatives of the 1944-45 session, the following became members of the Students' Council: Dr. H. M. Tory, Honorary President Luella Barrigar, Past President Jack Mowat, President Jim Skead, lst Vice-President Donalda MacIntosh, 2nd Vice-President Jean Conger, Secretary Elizabeth Lindsay, Treasurer Gwen Wood, General Councillor Harold Moulds, Editor of the Bulletin Later additions to the Council were the following Club Presidents: Evelyn Horne, Latin-American Club Jim Patrick, French Club Cecil Froats, Current History Club and the following Committee Chairmen and Conveners: Jack Windish, Social Committee E. L. R. Williamson, Common Room Committee Harold Dewdney, Student Christian Movement. Meetings were held weekly after the for- mation of the Council in order to get started at once as it was then quite late in the year. After the Christmas holidays it was decided that monthly meetings would be sufiicient, much to the relief of the members who, besides attending one or two classes each week, were expected to attend all Class Representative, meetings which were held about every two weeks. Two of the meetings were held at the homes of Council members, providing a chance for the members to become better acquainted. At one of these, Dr. MacOdrum, assistant to Dr. Tory, was a guest. He con- tributed and received some practical sugges- tions regarding student activities for this and next year. .In order to stimulate college spirit the Students' Counciloffered prizes for the entries judged first and second in a contest for sug- gestions to the Board of Governors for a college crest. The entries were submitted to a committee appointed by the Board of Governors, and their decision appears else- where. The Council has budgeted part of its total finances toward the furnishing of a Common Room. Throughout the year efforts were made to obtain furniture but as yet these have met with only limited success. Council A special committee is in the process of drawing up a constitution for the Student Association, mainly concerning the duties of officers and the financial arrangements be- tween the clubs and the Council. The Social Convener and his committee deserve special mention for the hard work they put in in presenting such successful parties for the students and their friends. Despite the difliculty of getting enough interested students together at one time, ski-ing and swimming parties were organized and proved very enjoyable. As a result of the planning done this year, it is hoped that next year's Council will be able to organize earlier in the fall and further expand .student activities.

20 Carleton College Year Book 1944-45 Latin-Hmericcin Club President-Evelyn Horn! Vice-President-Audrey Tweedie Secretary-Treasurer-Muriel Burr Past President-Jean Pratt Executive Members-Dr. John Parker, Miss Mercedes French, Florence Talbot, Dorothy Drew, Elizabeth Mahoocl Members of the Latin-American Club this year enjoyed many interesting and infor- mative programmes under the direction of Evelyn Horne, president. The season's activities opened on Novem- ber 29 with a well-attended dinner meeting at the Y.M.C.A. The events of the evening were in tribute to Mexico, the highlight be- ing a sincere and, at the same time, amusing talk by Dr. del Rio y Canedo, Ambassador of Mexico to Canada, entitled Shall I Marry a Latin-American? The Club took this op- portunity to extend congratulations and good wishes to Dr. Hugh L. Keenleyside, newly- appointed Canadian Ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the guest speaker. Mexican films were shown and community singing was enjoyed by all. Two evenings were devoted to film show- ings of Mexico, Chile and Brazil. These were provided by the National Film Board and proved to be excellent entertainment. . Several informal meetings were held after Spanish classes on Monday evenings at the College, when group singing of Spanish songs was much enjoyed. For leadership in this activity we are much indebted to Miss Mer- cedes French. In February, the Club had the honour and pleasure of entertaining a group of eighteen Boy Scout leaders from a number of Latin-American countries. This provided an excellent opportunity for informal con- versation and the furthering of friendly re- lations between these countries and Canada. and the guests were most appreciative of our hospitality. A dinner meeting featuring Brazil will close the season late in April. -EVELYN HORNE Q? Front row:-Muriel Burr, Miss M. French, Dorothy Drew, Florence Talbot.
