the school committee EMBERS or Tm: Scnooi, Comnirrnn are eler-ted representatives through whom the students may voiee their opinions and obtain aetion on matters pertaining to their interests and welfare. A Temporary Committee of returning students is eleeted by them in September. and further eleetions are held in October and at the beginning of eaeh term to seleet the eommittee for the ensuing weeks. lt is the eonvietion ot many members of the eommunity that the sphere of action has perhaps never been as broad, and the weight of responsibility perhaps never as heavy, for the School Connnittee as during the past two years. The Headmaster has frequently remarked that the 9-ehool eould seareely function without the assistanr-e of its student leaders. and has voieed his thanks for the support and eooperation whieh they have given him during his first two years as ehiet administrator. lt seems worthwhile to review at this time some of the early ideals which motivated the first student eommittee of the new sehool. The following notes are from Volume Une - Number Une of The Voyageur Ulay, 19295: Piekering College, often deseribed as the sehool of 'Old Traditions and New ldealsf is the first sehool of its kind in Canada. lt is being run under the system of student government whit-h has proved so sur-r-esstul in our universities but yvhieh has never been tried out in residential sehools . . . The Committee has . . . had eharge of the general diseipline of the sehool, but in this regard its business has been eomparatively small. Petty rules and regulations are redueed to a minimum, the publie opinion ot the group has loyally supported sueh as have been made, and in those ext-eptional eases where a member of the sehool has abused any privilege it has generally been found that this has been due t-o a laek of understanding of the basis of our life here, and that ont-e cleared up, the diftieulty has righted itself. This method of handling the diseipline has resulted in the growth here ot a true family feeling among all the members ot the Sehool eommunity. and a lack of those annoying and irritating petty problems ivhieh so easily interfere with the more serious purpose of -our life together . . . Thus you see the privileges that are ours. NVe govern ourselves and have a representative body oftieiating. lt is an interpretation in our sehool life of that well-known definition of a fl,QlTlOC'I'3iC'j'f'fii'0VGI'I1ITl611t of the people, by the people, for the people' So Ralph Connor, a member of the School Committee of 1927-1929. XVe think that these ideals have changed not at ali, and that they are sensed by every Pickering student who sits on the Committee. During this past year, we have heard criticisms, that the Committee has been too aggressive in some areas, not aggressive enough in -othersg that assemblies have sometimes laeked deeorum, and that speakers have on oeeasion been merely tlippantg that Committee polieies have been too mueh shaped by statit opinion, or have Tu elra
