COUNCIL ACTIVITIES As I write this, graduation and June examinations are just around the proverbial corner. We have had a full and happy year and those of us who are graduating will not leave our school without mingled emotions. This year, Council’s main project was to provide the cheerleaders with suitable uniforms. This, however, did not mean the neglect of other activities, which were many and varied. The Dance Club was organized again under Miss Harrow’s patient supervision. Stu¬ dents’ Day took place with the Women Teachers’ Volleyball game as a feature attraction. We learned much from this game — how not to play volleyball and how not to act. The awards system was revised and again carried on. Pictures were purchased for the hall as in previous years, and several assemblies were held. All in all, we have had a busy year indeed. The social committee and our social convener merit special praise for the five entertaining dances which were held. Much work a nd planning went into making these dances successful. I think that our student council exemplifies the ulti¬ mate of self-government which a student body is able to achieve when each individual assumes a personal responsibility to the school as a whole. We are especial¬ ly fortunate to have had such an understanding principal and staff. Any appeal that we made was given their careful consideration. It is at this point that I would like to thank Mr. Cochrane, the staff as a whole, and especially our council advisers Miss Thomson and Dr. Lucow for giving us wise counsel when we were in doubt at any time during the year. The success of this year’s Council was due in great measure to them. I would also like to express my appreciation to those students both on and off the council who always proved cooperative and reliable throughout the year. I would now like to wish all the success in the world to next year’s council. I hope that they will have as good a year as we have had. TRUDY COHEN, President 1954-55 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The hectic social life of Lord Selkirk started off this year on October 20 at the “Hill Billy Shuffle’’. The school crowd turned out in jeans and old clothes to take part in the novelty dances and to enjoy them¬ selves in the best style. The music was supplied by Eaton’s “Band Box”. The winter was welcomed by the second dance, the “Snowball”, on December 3. Though there wasn’t much snow, there were lots of grads attending. The first dance of the new year, the “Jan Jump” was another success. Music was supplied by the “Band Box” again, only this time it was run by two grads now attending the U. of M., Alex Stewart and John Bonnett. After our very successful opera, a party was held in the Tec. Voc. gym for members of the cast and those who helped in the production. Another was held a week later in the Elmwood “Y” building. The auditorium was decked out in shamrocks and green for the “Shamrock Swing” in March. There wasn’t much entertainment this year, but all who attended enjoyed themselves. The final fling before the big grad dance was the “Pussy Willow Prom” held on May 13. A good turn out and entertainment contributed to the success of the finale of the social year at Lord Selkirk. Many thanks go to the Social Committee who proved both capable and dependable in planning and decorat¬ ing for each social function. 42
