Munro The School Committee At the beginning of each term Pickering students share a democratic sys- tem of voting for a committee to represent the voice of the students to the staff. This year the voting system was changed: the chairman and four other members are elected by the student body. The chairman of each cor- ridor committee elected by the separate corridors also serves on the com- mittee for his term of office. The function of the committee is to offer leadershipin all possible fields: it acts as a disciplinary body for the stu- dents, when the offense does not conflict with school policy, it takes charge ofschool functions such as dances, New Boy's Day, and many other special- ties ofthe student life in the school. In the winter term six members of the committee did a fine job of making an address in chapel. Each member of the committee holds a specific office and performs a definite function: there is the chairman, secretary-treasurer, rudy or main- tenance man, food man, dress man, social convener, fire chief, athletic convener. custodian of cleanliness, and publications advisor. These stu- dents deal with student affairs with the staff advisor, Mr. Lundgren, Two meetings aweek are usually held - one with the staff advisor and the other with the student assembly where they have the opportunity to voice their complaints or suggestions to the committee. I would like to thank this year's student body for the co-operation and fine spirit which they demonstrated. Dave Ferris, Eighteen
