The topic debated on was Be it resolved that man will destroy himself by pollution . The competition wasrvery exciting and all participants gave their utmost, making it our best competition to date.

These familiar monosyllables drift through the door of IO4 to permiate the corridors with the ioyaus strains of our angelic voices. Under the capable direction of Mr. Thomson we have become one of the school's largest extra-curricular activi- ties. Throughout the year we have part- ipated in various events including Christ- mas carolling Followed by our warm-up party, and recently our trip to Owen Sound where I might add we made a rather splendid showing. In years to came we hope the choir will continue to please appreciative audiences. by: Peggy Karn Beccie Moore BBW 3 , is DEBATI NG TEAM BACK ROW: QL. to RJ Henry Kowalski, Don Totten, Pat Paquette, Ed Kralcowskn, Brian Sutherland Mike Kiiewslci, Shane Brown, Bob Birch, Dom Jovanovlchdrll Wralght SECOND ROW: Mrs. Isaacs, Jim Hart, Jlm Copeland aren To Lori Hammerton, Beatrice Albyss, Marnie-Lee Innes, Bob Dakln Gavin Mac Kenzle ary Moore Mr Hall FRON OW: Donna Knudson, Vicki Glroldl Joanne Myers Sue Gibbons, Chris Schrlk Leslie Start Jo-Anne Darnborough, Barb MacDougall CH OIR BACK ROW: QL. to RJ Beatrice Albyss, athy Todd Philip Visser George Cybulskn Wayne Buchanan Tim Eaton, Dave Hartley, Bill Todd, Bert Smit, u Ann Uncer, Brenda Newton THIRD ROW: Miss Sallach, Dora Bryson, Brenda Jerry Marilyn Dale Jo Anne Steplnskr, Ttneke Smut, Diane Zylstra, Dorothy .lean Kitchen, Cathy Rlffel Peggy Karn Joanne Wlnlaw Mr Thomson SECOND ROW: Beccie Moore, Marg Fletcher, Pam Nunns Sue Banhardt, Joanne Myers Susan Rrach, Chris MacKenzie, Sandra Thornton, Dorothy Cuthbert FRONT ROW: Karen Raychuck, Lynda Karn Jan Lake, Bonnie Wright Linda Duncan

The Students' Council raised its money by conducting a Chocolate Bar Campaign in January and February. This sales campaign was run by Chairman Mike Kiiewski and Mike Tottersall, who in- spired the students to sell more than S3000 worth of bars filled with almonds or pea- nuts. Few people realize how quickly such a large amount of money can disappear. The Students' Council purchased a tele- vision camera as its major proiect of the year. This camera, which cost about Sl00O, will be used in coniunction with a video tape machine that the school already owns to produce instant films of games, drama, classes, and anything else that happens. The Students' Council of I969-70 probably paid more attention to the scho- lastic endeavours of College Avenue students than any other council to date. During the second and third terms they financially supported tutoring, which was doubtlesslya big help to several students. They also helped support the Graphic Arts Group, who travelled to Elliot Lake to improve their artistic talents, and the French Club, who went to Quebec. In addition to these efforts, the Students' Council will be putting aside as much money as possible at the end ofthe year for bursaries, which will be given to graduating students- who are planning on furthering their education next year. The philosophy behind all this acad- emic spending is simple: the Students' Council's iob is to do whatever it can for the students of CASS. If they can promote the education of students, they are serving a very useful purpose as far as the students are concerned. Three committees were established by Students' Council early in the year. The Constitution Revision Committee com- pleted a job that was started by the I968- 69 Council. A lot of confusion arose early in the year over what our school colours actually are, since several diff- erent combinotions appear on team uniforms and other school property. The committee that was consequently set up investigated the possibilities of colour combinations, took a poll among the students, and did research on the amount of change that would be necessary if the colours were officially changed.

The course there ls designed forserious minded peoplewho have given up their Easter holidays to broaden their interest in the fields of art, creative writing, music, dancing and other arts. l know through my own ex- perience that all the students have ab- sorbed valuable information in their fields of interest. Not only did they obtain much knowledge but also felt like work- ing and at the same time having a time of their life, for the atmosphere created by the students taking the courses made it possible for the feeling to exist among both students and teachers. Unlike in regular colleges there was no generation gap between the students and teachers. This was true because the teachers themselves were onlya fewyears older than the students and were in the same field of thinking. They were very much interested in the students for they knew they were seriously involved in their work and they tried to help them in any way they could. The school in itself is not designed to make profits, but is more interested in helping the student in the form of bursaries. Already since last year it has grown much and I am sure it will continue to do so in the future. Lastly, l would like to mention that the trip would have not been possible without thehelpof Mr. Baker, Mr. Blake, and the student council who have suppor- ted the trip through contributions, to send interested students to Elliot Lake. CORRI DOR The CASS newspaper was brought back from its obscurity this year and made into an informative, humourous .and profitable enterprise. The paper became known as Corridor and was headed by Henry Kowalski. lt supported a large staff who wrote with versatility on the variety of school life at CASS. The newspaper progressed constantly throughout the year, both 'in quality and ingenuity. Sales were adequate, but if there was one point of disappointment to the newspaper staff, it had to be the lack ofenthusiasm on the part of the student body. We hope an excellent staff is formed for next year to carry on the tradition, the fun and the enthusiasm of this year's crew. Special thanks go to Terry Perkins, who took care of the finances and who gave me moral support.
