THE GRUMBLER Tl Debatin Grace Swartz. A XII C K.C.I. has long been known for its wonderful school spirit. One proof of this is the way in which the students so eagerly participate in intra-mural debating. During the past year, 36 teams comprised of 186 students have competed in debates. These stu- dents spent many hours in prepar- ing for their debates and deserve a great deal of credit for the in- terest they have shown. The stu- dents were backed by many teach- ers who are to be sincerely thanked for the help they have given. The timely topic, Resolved that strikes are justifiable, was the subject for the Junior Champion- ship debate. The affirmative, T X A, defeated A X A. The win- ning team was comprised of Doreen Shoemaker, Mary Woinaka, Joan Schnarr, Jean Kilgour, Pat Schae- fer and Barbara Rosser. Resolved that Europe, exclusive of Russia, should be united into a self-governing body was the sub- ject chosen for the final senior de- bate between teams from T XII A and A XI B. The affirmative, T XII A, won the Senior champion- ship. Members of the victorious team were Lloyd Hagen, Robert Hintz, Marion Badke, and Jackie Merner. Few of us realize the many hours our faculty sponsor, Miss Snider, has spent in gathering subjects for the debates and doing the various ,jobs connected with her work. She has done a wonderful job and de- serves much credit for it. The Radio Club Joan Ilannn. A Xll If The Radio Club, with a member- ship of over ninety students, is one of the most popular organizations in the school. Its activities are in- teresting and varied. Early in the year auditions were given, and con- structive criticism was offered by student judges. Skits, presented, directed, and often written .by stu- dents, prove popular. Periodically, half-hour programmes are given. displaying student talent. At other meetings, guest speakers partici- pate. In the Senior assemblies, the members of the club exhibit the value of the training they receive. Each week a student announcer signs on and off, and provides any necessary fill-ins or description of action. During Education Week, a spe- cial half-hour programme was pre- sented over CKCR. A series of sports interviews was also given during the year over the local station, helping to publicize school athletic activities. four carloads of club witnessed a of a radio pro- in Toronto, later touring the studio. In November, members of the dress rehearsal gramme at CBC During the Easter holidays, nine members of the Radio Club, in con- junction with the English Depart- ment of the School, demonstrated the usefulness of a club of this nature at the O.E.A. in Tornoto. They displayed outstanding ability, and We wish them lots of success in the future. .ip,

L E TU THE GRUMBLER a detailed account of the meeting to his supporters , The presidential campaigns were highly exciting. Joan Koenig emerged victorious and became first term president with Isabelle Liddle as vice-president. During the voting for second term presi- dent, the elections were carried off in a manner similar to those held for federal elections. Students cast secret ballots in the privacy of polling booths and with great im- portance and ceremony handed their vote to the chief returning officer. With such training the 1947 students of K.C.I. should never be guilty of ruining a ballot in civic elections. A very talented lassy, Annette Gofton, became the first girl campaign manager the school has ever known. She supported Chuck Greb and her ability got re- sults! Charles Greb occupied the president's chair for the second term and Ken Swartz became the vice-president. Doris Brubacher was treasurer and Rosemary Wal- ters secretary for both terms. The council, with the able assist- ance of Mr. Unwin, sponsors about fifty extra-curricular activities. It also handles all the finances within the council treasury, In our school we are trying to make our council truly representative so that we will feel that our council is of the stu- dents, by the students, and for the students. la 3 S'l'UDEN'l'S' COl lNClL EXECI 'TIVE ,HflI'lx'll'UIl'. lofi to right: ,loan Ktwnig. llrcsitlmit first term: lloris Brubaclit-r.
