The bus reached the airport, but as a result of stormy weather and poor visibility the bus returned to the school for safety. The council for the first time, had a dance for the Middle and Upper schools, which they named Rammarg which is grammar backwards. The council hired a band, the Crystal Image . The dance was very successful, and the turnout was of approximately 100 people. The two students ' councils paid for the rental of the Halifax Infirmary Gymnasium to provide basketball for the girls in the Middle and Upper schools every week. For the Spring term the Middle School Students ' Council plans to have another movie. Several other activities are anticipated and will be discussed in detail when the school commences again. The Middle School Students ' Council owes much gratitude to its faculty advisor, Mrs. E. Crocker. The students ' council is a reflection of the attitudes and enthusiasm of the Middle School students, themselves. We feel this year ' s students ' council has done its job well, and it is our sincere hope that i t will improve each year. Robert L.

Middle School Student Council This is the third year for a students ' council in the Middle School. This year has seen a number of social functions, fund raising activities, and a worthwhile contribution to the new Children ' s Hospital. At the beginning of the Fall term, the students ' council got right under way. It was obvious that the members of the executive were very congenial. The council started off by having a movie called Something of Value . Following our first successful undertaking the council ordered 300 books for a large book sale, held one afternoon in the Audio Visual Room. The sale went well, and the majority of books were sold, so the council decided to order another lot of books which also sold rapidly. Some of the money earned was donated to The Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children for an F.M. A.M. stereo system that went through the whole building. The council was promised a tour of the new hospital. The council began the Winter term by accepting donations from the students for underprivileged children. The results were many boxes of toys and clothes which the council gave to the Brunswick Street Mission. The students of the school participate annually, in a chocolate bar sale. This year the Middle School Students ' Council purchased 124 dozen chocolate bars which were sold in less than a week. The students who sold the chocolate bars were of the Middle School; only the student who sold the most bars received a prize, while runners-up won points for their houses. Of course nobody is perfect and not everything is successful. The council chartered a bus to leave for Wentworth Valley one Saturday morning. The results were about 40 keen skiers. 22
