62 THE TECHALOGUE June,1946 and a treasurer. Mr. Maurice Cox, continued in his position as staff advisor to the Council, and the members asked the Techalogue partic- ularly to express their appreciation to him for his straight-forward guidance and keen judgment which they know has come from past experience of working with the teachers and students. The Council has had a busy year in continuing the high standard of accomplishment set by previous members. It is the body which got the social activity started at the beginning ofthe school year by arranging and meeting the expenses of initiation and a party for the first year students on the twenty-eighth of September. The Council also made arrangements and gave financial support to the second- year' party on October nineteenth, the third-year party on Novem- ber second, and the fourth-year party on November twenty-third. The Alumni dance on the eighth of February and Color Night on the fifth of April were also backed by the Council. The success of these functions was the result of much planning and work by the members of the Students' Council and they deserve high praise. With the aid of the Literary Society, the S.R.C. purchased a microphone, the addition of which filled a definite lack in the audi- torium facilities. Another service performed to the students by their Representative Council was the sale of chocolate milk at recesses and noons during the winter months. This was especially appreciated by those students who brought their lunch. The Council also made a generous donation to the Poppy Fund and one to the Anti-tuber- culosis League. The sale of school and class crests and school caps was carried on through the cooperation of Miss Flatt, who reports a large turn-over. As they are sold at cost price, no profit is made by the Council. Members of the Council are: Norman Greggain, president, Vivian Hatchard, vice-president, Emily Matheson, secretary, Don Addie. treasurer, Mr. M. Cox, staff representative, Pete McCartney, repre- sentative of Athletic Council, First Year Representatives: Jim Wasel- ciw, industrial, Linda Merk, commercial, Second Year Represent- atives: Don Addie, industrial, Ray Swan, commercial, Third Year Representatives: Emily Matheson, industrial, lnez Maschek, com- mercial, Special Commercial Representatives: Dorothy Wheatly, Georgia Anderson, and Fourth Year Representative: Bill Fairweather. The work of the S.R.C. during the next school year will be car- ried on with Jack Adolph and Leona Schmitz at its head. The Council extends its best wishes for success to these young people in their new positions of responsibility. .. wk,1.
