Student cards reaped in 2 .00, The sale of apples at recess and at lunch hour brought in a steady -$2.00 a week. With Mr. Browne ' s kind assistance, we built a ping-pong table and set it up in the basement. Later, under V . Thompson ' s guidance, a ping-pong ' knock-out ' tournament was organized. The winner will receive a trophy from the Student Council. The Student Council also organized the School Crest Contest won by Ted Thome ' s maple leaf v ith the motto :- Inito ad discendum . c for which he received a c . exito ad serviendum 510.00 book certificate. The chess tournament was not organized by the Student Council, but the winner, Carl Boswick will be awarded a trophy given by it on request of the organizers. The sale of candy bars, replacing that of apples, has literally taken the school by storm and the Student Council has made :s20.00 clear profit in a matter of a few, short weeks because of it ,
