18 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE HOnOR ROLL As defined by the dictionary, to study is “to bestow pains upon: to apply the mind to: to examine closely, in order to learn thoroughly, etc.” To many so-called students this idea has never occurred, but the following pupils have proven that their grey matter has been stimulated enough to bring them averages of over 75% at Christmas and Easter on thirty credits: Grade X—James Anderson, Roy Clark, Katie Kuziek, Thomas La- kusta, Donald McMillan, Violet Mercer, Mary Pomeranski, Gwen Roper. Grade XI—Douglas Baines, Donald Baker, Mary Fairhead, Joyce Hepburn, Jennie Lastiwka, Doreen Ockenden. Grade XII—Alice Laskiwski, Colin Gordon, Nellie Hunter, Robert McClary, Olga Myson, Muriel Smith. The I. 0. D. E. awards for last year were given to Edna Thomson, Room 21, and Gerald Cullen, Room 19, for English 2, and to Douglas Baines, Room 18, and Doreen Ockenden, Room 22, for Social Studies 1. Edna Remnick of Room 23 carried off the Public Speaking Cup this year.

20 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT We of the Union Executive wish to thank all students who have helped make ’41-’42 a greatly successful year. After a late start at school and consequent delay in organization, the room reps were chosen early in October, and shortly afterwards the executive was elected. Fees were then collected, Room 19 paying on the first day, thus earning the prize of free entrance to the year’s dance. Sports equipment was bought and grants, etc., covered with the money collected fromNfees. It was not long until enthusiastic students were operating the various ' clubs. A “lit committee,” co-ordinated with the executive, staged five well- received lits, four of which were followed by dances, successful to a great extent because of much-appreciated aid of chaperones and the excellent new arrangements made for music. One evening dance and two skating parties were held. The new idea of returning to the school after skating, which was tried at our second skating party, helped to make it one of the most successful events in school history. We who are left on the executive feel we are speaking for all E. H. S. when we express regret over the loss of Jim Harris, treasurer, and Ken Sutherland, boys’ sports rep. Jim and Ken left school in April. We should like to express our sincere appreciation of help given us in different ways by Mr. Younie, Miss Munro, and other members of the staff. Thanks again, students and teachers, for your whole-hearted co¬ operation during 1941-42. KEN DEANE.
