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.

Some ability in part singing has been developed and some finesse achieved. The Kodaly method has been used, in part, to facilitate the growth of musical abilities, and quite a deal of different music has been tackled. Some of the notable events have included singing: i) Creation ' s Praise by Beethoven and Awake, Arise, straitway my good friend by J. C. Phillips for the Halifax Music Festival; ii) The Daniel Jazz by Hubert Chappell for Spring Tonic ; and iii) Bridge Over Troubled Waters and El Conder Pasa by Simon and Garfunkel; Five Sea Songs by Michael Hund for the Closing Ceremony. Mrs. Connie Gillis has been a wonderful source of help and inspiration as our pianist, and we thank her very much for her efforts on our behalf. 25
