Student Council The Student Coun¬ cil, led by our school president Bruce Mc¬ Laughlin, has experi¬ enced a very successful year. The Freshie Dance, several minor dances such as a Spring Fling, Santa Hop, Graduation and support of the Year¬ book are a few of the many achievements made by the Student Council this year. The Council decided that they could afford to support a foster child and much of the money went towards that. A destitute family in northern Manitoba re¬ ceived a hamper at Christmas time. Clothes were also gathered and distributed among the needy. Money was granted to other school functions, besides the Yearbook, such as the Newspaper and the Red Cross. Attendance has been a problem which has plagued the Student Council since its formation. All meetings have been poorly attended and some that did attend did not participate fully in the activities. There were, however, as there usually are a few who carried the burden to make the student council the successful school function it is. Social Committee Elmwood High had a Social Committee to be proud of this year. The group, headed by Ken Roach, consisted of representatives from class rooms. The reps were voted in by their class mates, as is the system in many of our other committees. The choices in quite a few cases were excellent because many of the members of the committee gave up their free time to help decorate, sell tickets and check coats at the dances held by the Committee. Despite the large amount of work done by the Social Committee, attendance at the meetings was poor. Many grade 9 and 10 rooms had no representatives all year. The same students seemed to be doing all the work for each dance. Let’s hope this situation can be rectified in future years, and those non-willing members of the committee hand their positions over to a willing friend. The Freshie Dance was a great success but later dances proved to have only about 200 or 250 persons attending. It was a shame that more people did not go, be¬ cause those that went did have a really good time. Because of the money raised by the com¬ mittee, the Student Coun¬ cil was able to partici¬ pate in many worthwhile causes, such as adopting a foster child.
