amasses impressive record of unprecedented achievement Bro. Rage, Student Council moderator, and President, Pat Droste, look over the latest results in the competition for the Spirit Trophy. This yearly award gives a good indication of just how interested the students are in the activities of the school. This yearis Student Council, one of the hardest working in the school's history, has compiled an enviable record under an active president, Pat Droste, and an experienced moderator, Bro. james Rago. The Council has taken the initiative in bringing to the school several activities which had been lacking up to this time. Included are the intramural hockey program, which now has sixty players on four teamsg an intramural wrestling program, gym nights for each class, and class nights at the basketball games. The active support of the student body for athletic events has been increased through the efforts of the Council. Alley Ralliesv proved to be very effective in generating enthusiasm, on the studentls own time, for the football games. Several ski trips to Mt. Grampian were organized and each was a success. The running of several dances, -including the Homecoming Dance, a Battle of the Bands, and the Farewell Dance, was the responsibility of the Council. ln addition to all these, a Spirit Trophy Competition was initiated. The class with the highest accumulation of points at the end of the year will be awarded the trophy. The point total is figured on participation in extra-curricular activities and school fund raising drives. Succceeding Student Councils will certainly be hard pressed to match the record of this dedicated group of students.
