The Student Council of Miles Macdonell offers the students many activities in which they can participate. The objectives of this organization are to provide opportunities to practice active demo¬ cratic living outside of school hours; to provide opportunities for the discovery of special qualities and abilities; to stimulate student interest in the school and to help to develop school morale and spirit. The Student Council sponsors many of the student activities. The highlights of these for 1961-62 are: dances including the very successful Freshie Dance and the Sweetheart Swirl, basketball games, purchasing cheerleader uniforms, organization of the Glee Club, Science Club, Yearbook and Newspaper Staff, and of course Kaleidoscope and Closing Ex¬ ercises which are not likely to be soon forgotten. We ' ll also long remember those Tuesday noon hour meetings. The President Dennis Martin and Secretary Bev Edwards together organized the smoothly functioned meetings. The fellowship of the meetings helped to give the students valuable lessons in running a democratic organization.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I would like to take this final opportun y to thank the students of Miles Mac for the honour you have bestowed on me this past ear I can imagine no finer way to complete my ligl school education than to be President of th Student Council. What has been accomplis ed this year has not been on my account, but I as been originated and executed by our enthus - astic class Presidents: the Student Counc: Some of the people who shouldered large p tions of the load were the committee chair :en: Stan Moroz, Ken Dare, Joan Wilczynski, Richard Sallee, Pat Charter, and Michael Dunbar. Also Treasurer Barbara Wilkins a, Secretary Bev Edwards, and Vice-Preside t Alvin Barrett. Invaluable were Hugh StepI :ns and Eleanor Berezuk for their assistance v :th Kaleidoscope. Without doubt, also I must mention Mr. Meadows, the council ' s teach r sponor, and all those people who helped to plan and stayed to clean up after our social fu c- tions. These are some of the people who helped to make Miles Mac, Miles Mac. To those of you who have another year or two years to complete of high school, I ca only wish you every success. But don ' t forget, what you do today counts tomorrow. Str ve to achieve your peak performance in study, in sports, and in your personal life; for tom ' r- row you shall have to strive earnestly to succeed in life. Since probably none of us upon graduation will step into a business of our own, we u - doubted will be employees at one time or another. These Ten Commandments for an em ployee were written by the director of a Chinese bank in Malaya. I think they not only apply to the Eastern world but also are aptly suited to the modern world of our Western societ : Don ' t lie. It wastes my time and yours. I am sure to catch you in the end. (2) Watch y ur work and not the clock. A long day ' s work make a long day short, and a short day ' s wor makes my face long, (3) Give me more than I expect, and I will pay you more than you v ill expect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my profits. (4) Keep out of del t. You owe so much to yourself that you cannot afford to owe anybody else. (5) Dishonesty is never an accident. (6) Mind your own business, and in time you will have a business of your own to mind. (7) Don ' t do anything here that hurts your self-respect. The employee who is capable of stealing for me is capable of stealing from me. (8) It ' s none of my busi¬ ness what you do at night, but if dissipation affects what you do next day you will last hal as long as you hope. (9) Don ' t tell me what I would like to hear, but what I ought to hear I don ' t want a valet for my vanity, but for my money. (10) Don ' t kick if I kick. If you are worth correcting, you are worth keeping. Lastly, to those graduating, I sincerely trust that your future life will unfold as you have dreamed and as you hope. May your disappointments be few and your pleasures many I hope that you attain all your goals in life. But let us not forget, whether life be generous or whether life be cruel, that life is what we make it. Dennis Martin.

The Yearbook staff did a fine job and I would like to than them for their help throughout the year. I wish to extend special thanks to the friends who could always be relied upon in emergencies - who helped with the tremendous task of or¬ ganizing hundreds of students for pictures - did last minute typing during the summer holidays. The work of the typists was appreciated by the Yearbook staff, as was the help of Mr , Lee and the English teachers in preparing the Literary sectic Macadonian 1961-62 is the product of a combined and sus tained effort. Good luck and best wishes. Bonnie McCallum.
