By Ken Hancock The organizing of the two parties, The Polka Dots, headed by Pauline Hod- getts, and the Happy Gang, headed by myself, started the ball rolling for this term ' s student activities. The campaigning undertaken by the two groups was a little different this year. There was a Polka Dot shower along with rock n ' roll bands at noon-hour. The week was terminated by speech day as in former years and that evening the results of the campaign were announced at the In and Out dance, the last function sponsored by the preyious year ' s student council. Bill Skitch, a Dot was elected vice president, the president, representing the Happy Gang, was yours truly. Although the numbe r s ran close the majority of the new council were previous supporters of the Polka Dots. . Casper ' s Capers , the Hallowe ' en Dance, was adequately supported by the student body. This proved to be a success both financially and in encouraging the council, their efforts being appreciated. The council formed an inner council consisting of one member from each grade. The inner council met when general matters concerning the council were to be passed. The entire council met at least every month and any other time when finances were involved. At this year ' s commencement exercises a plaque was presented to the val¬ edictorian whose name was engraved on it along with the previous valedictorians from the year 1955-56. This was a combined effort of last year ' s and this year ' s student councils. The dinner for the graduates was held again this year in the high school caf¬ eteria before the graduation exercises commenced. As well as a meal this was a re-union for the students who are now separated by distance. As a new feature, writing pads bearing the school crest were introduced this year. The Christmas programme was run by the music council and the students ' council, the former providing the music and the latter the Santa Claus, this year impersonated by Noel Wright. Due to certain changes in the high school cadet corps, two dances were held in place of the original Cadet and Graduation Dance. The student council sponsored the Spring Prom, which was the high school formal. It was held in the gymna- 40
