THE NORTHLAND ECHO 43 . J? ,., 1 ff THE STUDENTS' COUNCIL Back Row: Howard Hughes. Harold Cherry. Bill Keech 1Pres,l, Bob Tiernay, Jim Martin Fiont Row: Betty Lewis, Shirley Caley, Corinne Runnalls THE STUDENTS' ADMINISTRATIVE COUNCIL Bill Keech The Students' Council, after paying bills accumulated by the previous coucil, began the year with a small deficit, How- ever, the last council went to consider- able expense in improving the school rink, thus saving the present council a goal sum of money. The council fees were slightly higher than last year, although not as yet up to the standard that they should be. The Annual School Dance was held on Friday, January 19. in the new Gym- nasium. The dance had a fair attend- ance but was not a financial success, On February 29. and March 1, the annual School Play, The Sweetest Girl in Town, was presented under the aus- pices of the council, and under the joint direction of Miss M. E. VVales, Miss P. L. Morgan, and Mr. S. XV. M Hardwick. The musical comedy was one of the most successful plays put on at the school. The auditorium was filled to capacity both nights, and many persons were unable to obtain seats. The rugby and basketball teams fin- anced by the council were very success- ful this year. The basketball team wor' the N.O.S.S.A. tournament at Timmins, and competed for the interscholastic championship of Ontario at Ottawa. Our hockey team won the Ennis Cup, and competed for the Ontario interschol- astic championship at London. So far this year has been very suc- cessful for the Students' Council, and there is every indication that it will con- tinue to be so. The executive for the Students' Coun- eil as elected were: President, Bill Keechg Vice-President, Ruth Haggartg Secretary-Treasurer, Ray Johnson. Immediately after election, Ray John- son stopped school, and Delna Gibson was appointed Secretary - Treasurer. Then Delna obtained work, so Dorothy Studholme was appointed to fill the position.
