Student Council Committees TELEPHONE BOOK COMMITTEE As in previous years, we have tried to publish as correct and complete a directory as possible. We hope you realize the many functions which this handbook per¬ forms. It serves as an ordinary telephone book and is also of great assistance when searching for such common names as Smith. We hope that the publication has been a great benefit to you during the year. THE EDITORS SALES COMMITTEE 1969-1970 The Sales Committee this year sold only 24 T-shirts and 12 rings of the same design as last year. Ordered in December the rings and T-shirts arrived in early March but confusion about bills with our supplier were not recti¬ fied until April. One hundred beanies were purchased in October and there will be a large carryover of beanies for next year. The poor sales this year are attributed mainly to the fact that last year sales were high and the Grade Tens were the only possible new buyers. Although not infatuated with his chairmanship Jay Stuart thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying seat on the student council. 18

Student Council Constitutional Revision Committee This committee met at noon for two weeks in October attempting to reorganize the Kelvin con¬ stitution. The ammendments were not typed but were left to sit in the bottom of someone’s locker until the middle of April. They were finally hand¬ ed into Mr. Thompson but they were too late for sufficient discussion to take place. Present plans are to change the constitution completely by draw¬ ing up a new draft next fall. 17

PEP CLUB As chairman of the Pep Club for ’69-70, my last year at Kelvin, I could say has been great! Unfortunately, many of the students feel that the importance of reform highly outweighs that of school spirit, and they do not realize that you can’t have one without the other. Due to lack of interest, on the part of the students, our one Pep Rally was a flop. But we must give credit to those students who co-operated so fully in making posters and announcements which aided in the promotion of the many school activities. School spirit was not entirely lacking this year but just buried behind the cry for reform. And it is the hope that, with a strong leadership, school spirit will rise to a peak in the years to come. We have the potential, but we just need the initiative. SOCIAL COMMITTEE This year has been an undeterminable success. The Social Committee introduced Coffee Houses for the first time in any High School and held three of them throughout the year. They were smashing successes and had top entertainment at all of them. The Annual Freshie Dance and Revolution ’70 (held in conjunction with the program committee) were great. The Freshie Dance started off rather rowdily, but was topped off with the crowning of Queen Kim O’Brien. Revolution ’70 was held in place of a winter carnival and featured many great and varied interests such as war films, Soc¬ cer films, debates, basketball games, drama club presen¬ tations, a sock-hop, a hootenanny and pizza sale, a talk with members of the penal Institution of Manitoba and it was finished with a massive Coffee House. THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE This committee consisting of Nancy Backhouse and anyone else she could happen to round up attempted to organize all special events that came up, (e.g. Revolution ’70) along with the tradi¬ tional events such as Remembrance Day and Christmas Capers. 19
