THE SEVENTH STUDENTS' COUNCIL LUCKY seven? Well, We hope so since this is the seventh Students' Council of the Eastern High School of Commerce. Up to the present time, we have successfully carried out a school dance, a rugby dance and with the valued aid of the staff, an excellent concert. A new crest has been adopted which seems to be meeting the approval of the students.: Also, as a gift to the school, new curtains Were hung on the auditorium doors, considerably improving their appearance. In careful management of school funds and in the promotion of school activities We try to follow in the foot- steps of past councils and hope to succeed as did the councils of other days who are to be praised for their accomplishments. l 1 i THE STUDENTS' COUNCIL First Row: E.

ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT A SUCCESS OUR annual commencement exer- cises, on Friday, November 18th, filled the auditorium to capacity and an enjoyable evening was spent by all in attendance. The program opened with an over- ture by the school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Tufts. Mr. Tufts and the orchestra are to be congrat- ulated on their fine musical organiza- tion. The next number was the Processional March, during the play- ing of which the winners of diplomas and prizes filed into the auditorium. Mr. Walter Keast, B.A., the prin- cipal, gave an interesting address on the work and progress of the students in the past year. This was followed by the presentation of awards for rifle shooting. The most important event of the evening was the presen- tation of diplomas to fourth-year graduates, and following this, Misses Kennedy, Helliwell and Reeder gave a delightful Pirate Dance. The vale- dictory address was delivered by James Kerr, the 1931-32 president of the Students' Council. It was an in- teresting and humorous talk and earned hearty applause. Another interesting event of the evening was the presentation of field day prizes. The girls' senior cham- pion was Roma Bowman, and the junior champion, Joyce Taylor. For the boys, the senior championship went to Jack Smith, the intermediate to Stanley Norman, and the junior to Edward Taylor. Honor letters were presented to girls for their athletic achievements. The girls' chorus, led by Miss How- ard, gave two entertaining songs and Audrey Dalzell, 3S2, rendered two delightful solos. The speaker of the evening, Mr. C. L. Burton, gave an interesting and EASTERN ECHO illuminating address. This was fol- lowed by the presentation of the Sir Isaac Pitman medals. The male teachers' quartette, composed of Messrs. Ward, Tufts, Patterson and Waugh, sang a humorous song of their own composition, which was en- joyed by everyone. Following this, diplomas were presented to night- school students and third-year gradu- ates. The final item on the program, Statuesqae, was splendidly performed by McDermott, Gibson, Swift and Steen, of the upper school. The com- mencement came to a close with the singing of O Canada. 1- -if -if MANY LAURELS PRESENTED RU BY WATTS, 453 DEPRESSION?
