After old business was cleared up, Mike organized the committees listed in the con- stitution and we were ready to ro1l at the first meeting. During the year, we have been congratulated by the principal and others for achievements such as managing assemblies, handling formals, and other dances, raising money for UNICEF and Red Feather, selling photographs to the students, purchasing new flags for assemblies, a turn- table for records at school dances, and get- ting buses for play-off games. We are proud that we met with such success and we all know that little if anything would have been achieved this year without the help and advice we received from certain mein- bers of the staff. Mr. Harding most certainly comes to mind first. He attended our meetings faithfully and was responsible for many of the ideas council worked on this year. Few people realize how hard Mr. Harding works, but the executive certainly does and takes this opportunity to thank him. We are also indebted to Mr. Hough for a great many suggestions and help with dances and other activities we have planned. Mr. Tobey's part in keeping our finances straight and Mr. Gellatly's help with Assem- blies are also appreciated. Other members of the staff offered and gave assistance through the year without which, we know, many of our projects would have failed. The year wasn't quite long enough for this council to realize all its ambitious plans, a few of which are: a trip out of town. a driving school. and an inter-school executive meeting. Next year's council should have a good year. especially if they get the fine co-operation that we received from Mr. Reid and his staff. So elect a good council next year and support the successful candidates all year. -Isabel McDonald XIID tSecretary, Student Councilb REORGANIZATION In the year 1955-56 a new concept of use- fulness of the S.C. revealed itself to the members. Feelers were spread out through the school and when it was discerned that the new idea would be beneficial to all, it was drawn up in a constitution, which is now the adopted one. This idea is the theory that United We stand, Divided we fall . In other words if all the clubs join together under the Stu- dents' Council, the clubs. the S.C., the school and the student body will be far better off. The reason for this is that one club. instead of asking all the clubs in the school, asks just the Students' Council for help or support. Instead of one club having a public relations committee, ways and means committee and all the other commit- tees, it just hands the public relations, ways and means, finances. etc., over to the S.C. The S.C. in turn gives these tasks over to committees who handle this work for the whole year, and therefore know what to do. These are just a few of the advantages of this year's SC. This year started off, literally, with a bang as far as the S.C. is concerned. I re- member coming to school and hearing the big bass drum and the trumpets' blare. The electioneering was fun, but the hard thing was to choose a candidate to support. I think we all were quite pleased to see the parades as it livens the spirit of the school. All candidates for office gave exceptionally fine speeches and all had solid planks for their platform. When the elections were over, the execu- tive got down to work to phrase the legal conditions and to discern exactly in what
