SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1951-52 actual accomplishments of the committee, but now that it is a fait accompli, these accomplislnnents speak for themselves, The introduction of a new method of collecting student fees, which is a major step in furthering' activities also eliminates much bookwork and discomfort for the students. The management of dances was more efficiently done this year than in many past years. Very many gifts were sent to staff, domestic staff and people who were ill. These, along with very many supposedly trivial matters were taken in hand and managed by the committee. In all, the committee this year showed sound judg- ment in school affairs. But let this article not be devoted only to praise. Mistakes were made, they always have been and always will be made. The mistakes of the committee were made by the members individually and not as a group. These were remedied in due time and again a situation was taken well into hand. I believe that during the time I have been on the committee, I have benefited by the experience of being' an active member in solving' school prob- lems. The many different complications involved and the situations en- countered have broadened my view regarding' school government. I should like to say also that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with the members of the committee in school life as well as in committee meetings. I think I speak for the whole school when I say to Bill Maguire, Bill Purves- Smith, John Luck, -lohn Allen, Barry Moffatt, Bo Barter, Burt Kelloek, lion MacMillan and Carl Odney . . . thanks for a good job!
