STUDE T CGUNCIL As in the past the Student Council functioned with a quiet and efficient manner which was not always in evidence to those on the outside. It toolc as its overall program for the year the improvement of the school morale, with the committee system the primary aim Linder this. ln spite of an unusually poor sports year the school morale reached a new high for the past few years and the committees, with a few exceptions, were a success. John Carter and Bob Gerhardt were elected as Episcopal's representatives to the Tnter-Academic Student Council, which met every other Wednesday at the different schools, and which sponsored several dances during the year to promote good will in the Inter-Ac League. Looked on as a whole, the year presented no outstanding problems to be coped with. lnlowever, there were the numerous minor duties which had to be attended to, such as keeping an eye on the recess and lunch lines, taking care of the parking, and supervising study halls in the absence of a Faculty member. The demerit system was a frequent topic of discussion around the school. The Council conducted a forum in Assembly on suggested improvements to the system, and several very helpful suggestions were brought up. These were discussed later and referred to the Executive Committee for consideration in constructing a new demerit system for next year.

CHOIR Again, the capable direction of Mr. Hugh McClelland led the choir to success. This year the choir was very fortunate in having three fine soloists among its members, Wilson Scott, Norman Peters, and Kirk Hall distinguished themselves with their respective rendition of 'T M Incline Thine Ear, Panis Angelicus, and Seek Ye the Lord. At the annual Academy Service the choir performed most creditably. Their anthem, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, a unique and extremely difficult arrangement of the Twenty-third Psalm, by Bairstow, was very fav- orably received. The choir's performance of this and the Sevenfold Amen was the highpoint of the year. Mr. McClelland very modestly gave all credit for success to the boys. However, his fine guidance and great patience were the keystone to every performance.
